Twin Martial Souls!

It is no wonder Tang San bowed so readily; as a product of sect servitude and feudal conditioning, it would have been stranger if he hadn't, given the trap he had laid for himself.

Throughout this entire performance, the only thing Qin Yun truly worried about was Tang Hao.

Do not be fooled by the fact that Tang Ritian did not follow them, merely letting Old Jack bring Tang San to register.

Qin Yun knew that, at the very least, Tang Hao would be present for the majority of the years Tang San spent studying.

It was much like that Mandala Snake.

If not for the fact that Gangzi was such a failure—preparing to give Tang San a ten-year Solitary Bamboo, forcing Tang Hao to go out and capture a snake himself—how could it be such a coincidence that they encountered a Mandala Snake in the Soul Hunting Forest that perfectly matched Gangzi's theories in every aspect?

Gangzi has a reputation, which is why Tang Hao was willing to gamble on him, but I have no such fame.

It seems I must not only take in Tang San but also feed Tang Ritian a dose of reassurance.

"This..."

Facing Tang San, who remained kneeling as if he would not rise unless he received an answer, Qin Yun feigned hesitation and pondered for a moment before asking.

"San, are you truly certain?"

"I beg the Sect Master to grant my wish!"

"Very well. Meeting is fate; since you are so sincere, it would seem heartless of me to refuse."

He reached out to help Tang San up, then brushed the dust from his knees.

"Since you have entered my Tang Sect, you are now one of our own!"

[Tang God King favorability +10!]

"However, after chatting for so long, I realize I haven't asked the most crucial question. San, what is your Martial Soul? And what is your Innate Soul Power?"

Tang San had just been immersed in the joy of joining the Tang Sect, but at the next moment, faced with Qin Yun's question, his heart constricted.

His Martial Soul was, without a doubt, his greatest secret.

What should I do? Should I tell the Sect Master that I actually possess Twin Martial Souls?

But if I don't say it, will the Blue Silver Grass, universally recognized as a trash Martial Soul, truly catch the eye of the Tang Sect Master?

After a moment of hesitation, Tang San decided to reveal only half the truth; if Qin Yun truly disapproved, he could always leak a bit more information.

Thinking this, Tang San slowly opened his right hand in front of Qin Yun.

Under the circulation of his soul power, a stalk of Blue Silver Grass, deep blue in color and brimming with potent vitality, with golden light faintly flickering along its veins and roots, appeared before Qin Yun.

"This is... Blue Silver Grass?"

Seeing that Qin Yun recognized it, Tang San tightened his expression and said firmly.

"Tang San, Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, Innate Full Soul Power!"

Innate Full Soul Power was perhaps the only thing he could show off at this moment, and for both emotional and logical reasons, Tang San wanted to make an impression.

Yet, watching Qin Yun frown and study it, Tang San guessed what was coming before the man could even speak.

He's probably going to say it's a trash Martial Soul with no future, right? I've heard that kind of talk too many times already. Didn't that Martial Soul Hall deacon, Su Yuntao, say the exact same thing?

Just as Tang San shook his head, preparing to hint at other information to Qin Yun, he was caught off guard...

With a "thwack," and to Tang San's surprise, Qin Yun's palm landed heavily on his shoulder.

"It's fine, it's quite good. Don't be discouraged!"

"But, Sect Master, everyone I've met before said that Blue Silver Grass is a standard trash Martial Soul, and that there is no point in cultivating it!"

Though Tang San did not take the opinions of others to heart, hearing it so often was inevitably frustrating.

"San, whether something has meaning is not for others to decide, but for you to determine yourself. Do not be overly concerned with the eyes of the world!"

"Besides, have you forgotten? In my Tang Sect, aside from cultivation, we have the way of mechanisms and hidden weapons. There are plenty of directions in which you can strive."

"What others say is unimportant; the key lies within you..."

Slowly raising his hand to point at Tang San's chest, Qin Yun said with solemn sincerity.

"Never lose your drive to improve!"

Tang San: "..."

What does it mean to be a Sect Master? This, this is what a real Sect Master is!

[Tang God King favorability +15!]

"Sect Master, I..."

Before Tang San could say anything more, Qin Yun sensed the prying eyes of the crowd. He told Old Jack to guard the alleyway, then pulled Tang San into a more secluded corner and spoke in a low voice.

"San, you and I are of the same sect; some things need not be said!

"Furthermore, there is something I have been thinking about, and I have decided to tell you. When I said your Blue Silver Grass was not a trash Martial Soul, it wasn't just to comfort you—it truly is extraordinary!"

"Sect Master, what did you say?"

Could it be that the Sect Master has discerned that I possess two Martial Souls?

The heritage of the Tang Sect is truly extraordinary; even in its decline, it is not something an ordinary soul master can compare to.

"Your situation is likely due to the negligence of the soul master responsible for your awakening. That said, it is understandable; the deacons from Martial Soul Hall tasked with village awakenings are, at most, at the level of a two-ring Soul Grand Master.

As peripheral figures of Martial Soul Hall, what could they possibly know?

That person didn't even stop to think: if it were truly an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, how could it possibly possess Innate Full Soul Power!"

In truth, Tang San's original aptitude would not have reached Innate Full Soul Power; he owed that achievement entirely to the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

However, as the one providing the deduction, Qin Yun obviously could not say as much, so he could only speak of the most superficial aspects.

"According to the sect's records, there are roughly two possibilities for your situation!"

Under Tang San's expectant gaze, Qin Yun slowly held up two fingers.

"The first possibility lies within the Martial Soul itself!

Perhaps you haven't noticed it yourself, which is reasonable; after all, you have never systematically studied Martial Soul knowledge before, so it is normal not to recognize it.

Your Blue Silver Grass is not ordinary Blue Silver Grass; in terms of quality alone, it is already at the level of a Blue Silver King.

Do you see the faint golden light shimmering on the leaves and roots? That is the best evidence.

If you have the opportunity in the future to complete a second awakening, it could even evolve into the one and only Blue Silver Emperor!

Essentially, this is not ordinary Blue Silver Grass at all.

Therefore, having such Innate Soul Power is perfectly logical."

"Unlike ordinary Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver King and Blue Silver Emperor are comparable to common immortal herbs in terms of quality.

For instance, that elder from Martial Soul Hall with the title of Chrysanthemum achieved the rank of Titled Douluo precisely because of a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum!

When you cultivate in the future, you might consider drawing some inspiration from him regarding the development of your Martial Soul!"

Blue Silver Grass, Blue Silver King, and Blue Silver Emperor, is it?

Setting everything else aside, this level of insight alone was enough to earn Tang San's admiration!

And... Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?

He was indeed unfamiliar with the Blue Silver King and Blue Silver Emperor, but he was very familiar with that!

Joining the Tang Sect has not only resolved my obsession but also allowed me to learn real skills. This decision was truly the right one!

"The second possibility is even rarer than the first.

Generally speaking, a soul master's Martial Soul inherits the stronger of the two parents' souls.

However, when the quality of the parents' Martial Souls is similar, there is another extremely special situation: inheriting both parents' Martial Souls simultaneously, commonly known as Twin Martial Souls!

This could also explain your current situation.

As far as I know, the current Pope of Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong, is a possessor of Twin Martial Souls!

With such talent, as long as you cultivate diligently, you will undoubtedly be able to reach the pinnacle of the strongest on the continent!"
