A dazzling golden radiance ignited from Xie Xie's dantian, acting like a massive vortex that frantically tore at the light-attribute energy within the Silver Wing Light Scale Dragon, drawing it inward.
As the light-attribute soul power surged in, it met with zero resistance; instead, it was like a parched sponge meeting water, instantly filling to the brim.
The once-immature dragon might of the Light Dragon Blade now faintly exuded a domineering, crystalline brilliance.
Light Cub was not to be outdone, as a deep purple shadow vortex followed closely behind, shrouding the area over Xie Xie's heart.
Unlike the domineering nature of Light Cub, the devouring of Shadow Cub was more restrained and meticulous, like countless tentacles stripping away the shadow-attribute energy thread by thread to integrate it into its own shadow veins.
The aura of the Shadow Dragon Blade grew more profound, nearly merging with the void, yet it maintained a delicate balance under the guidance of Light Cub.
Wu Zhangkong stood by the bed, her gaze fixed unblinkingly on Xie Xie's transformation.
She could clearly see that the silhouettes of the Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Dragon Blade surrounding Xie Xie were undergoing a violent reshaping.
The two energies of light and shadow were no longer merely coexisting.
Under the catalysis of the soul spirit, they began to intertwine, rotate, and condense.
Time ticked away second by second.
Xie Xie's body rose and fell slightly, beads of sweat seeping from his forehead—not from pain, but as a natural reaction to the rapid consumption of soul power and the metamorphosis of his body.
His muscle lines were taut, and every breath carried the faint hum of flowing soul power.
Finally, as the last shred of energy was thoroughly devoured and refined, Xie Xie's yellow hundred-year second soul ring suddenly took shape!
This soul ring was not a common yellow, but a phantasmagoric color where gilded gold and warm yellow blended to the extreme.
The base was a warm, jade-like amber yellow, while the outer ring was entwined with three ceaselessly flowing pure gold prismatic lights, as if meticulously forged from thousands of golden dragon scales.
The surface of the soul ring was not a static halo, but faintly revealed the sharp slashing textures of the Light Dragon Blade.
Countless minute golden blade patterns rotated slowly around the ring, as if they would transform into tangible blade light and pierce the air at any moment.
Most uniquely, whenever the Light Dragon Blade trembled, this soul ring would ignite with a dazzling golden radiance, their auras perfectly synchronized and unified.
At this very moment, Xie Xie's aura surged violently!
His cultivation base skyrocketed in an instant, stabilizing firmly at level twenty-one.
And this was not the end.
The unique symbiotic attribute of the Silver Wing Light Scale Dragon did not grant Xie Xie only one soul ring.
As Light Cub and Shadow Cub deeply analyzed the origin of the soul spirit, a second energy pattern began to condense and refine along the edge of the soul ring.
Dark red shadow power surged up from behind Xie Xie's heart, standing in opposition to the newly formed light soul ring, and another hundred-year soul ring slowly solidified!
This soul ring was also not of a common appearance.
The base was likewise amber yellow, but the outer ring was entwined with three ceaselessly flowing black-red flame patterns, a cold and alluring color woven from dark crimson and mysterious black.
The halo on the surface of the soul ring was also not static.
Instead, it faintly revealed the eerie, cold slashing textures of the Shadow Dragon Blade, with countless minute black-red blade patterns slowly circling the ring.
Two soul rings hovered behind Xie Xie, one to the left and one to the right.
The light soul ring on the left was brilliantly gilded, sacred and domineering.
The shadow soul ring on the right was deep black-red, cold and eerie.
One light, one shadow; one gold, one black-red. Resonating and checking one another, they rotated slowly in mid-air, forming an incredibly strange and magnificent sight.
Under the guidance of the two soul rings, the powers of light and shadow no longer fought their own battles, but moved like two giant dragons joined head to tail.
At this moment, even someone as indifferent as Wu Zhangkong was shocked by the rare Light-Shadow Symbiotic Twin Soul Rings Xie Xie possessed.
For a hundred-year soul ring to achieve such pure attribute compatibility, and for two opposing attributes to form a perfect balance, was extremely rare in the entire world of Soul Masters.
Xie Xie's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly.
Damp beads of sweat still clung to his long eyelashes, and his aura grew increasingly steady and heavy.
The phantom images of the Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Dragon Blade became clearer behind him.
The golden blade was as cold as the morning sun, while the black-red blade shadow was as deep as the dark night; the two martial soul blades trembled lightly, emitting crisp, low dragon roars that resonated with the light of the two soul rings.
Hum—!
A low, resonant hum from the soul rings suddenly echoed throughout the room.
Both hundred-year soul rings flared with light simultaneously, the golden and black-red powers converging above Xie Xie's head to form a silver-white phantom blade that flashed and vanished.
Xie Xie's aura climbed once more!
Although he remained at the level twenty-one Soul Grand Master realm, the level of refinement, the martial soul pressure, and the purity of his soul power had long since surpassed those of his peers, even rivaling some level twenty-three or twenty-four Soul Masters.
The next moment, Xie Xie snapped his eyes open!
He slowly raised both hands—
Golden light surged in his left hand as the Light Dragon Blade condensed silently, gilded light flowing over the blade edge with imposing dragon might.
Black-red energy entwined his right hand as the Shadow Dragon Blade appeared quietly, its blade cold and harboring hidden killing intent.
Twin Martial Souls, bolstered by twin soul rings, were perfectly displayed in this moment.
"Teacher Wu..."
"I succeeded! And it went even better than expected!!"
Xie Xie clenched his fists, feeling the surging light and shadow soul power within his body, his tone unable to hide his excitement and joy.
The two soul rings floating behind him continued to rotate slowly, their golden radiance and black-red hues intertwining, making the young man's figure appear dazzling and eye-catching.
Before Wu Zhangkong could ask, Xie Xie took the initiative to explain.
As for the Twin Martial Souls he possessed, the Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Blade, as long as one martial soul gained a new soul skill, the other half, being symbiotic, would also possess a mirrored version of that skill.
Furthermore, because the two were symbiotically fused, the corresponding soul skills of the Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Dragon Blade could merge to become fusion soul skills.
It was as if he were currently a two-ring Soul Grand Master, yet he already possessed a full eight soul skills.
Yes, a full eight!
Light Dragon Blade--
First Soul Skill: Light Dragon Slash
Second Soul Skill: Light Dragon Storm (Shadow Dragon Storm)
Shadow Dragon Blade--
First Soul Skill: Shadow Dragon Strike
Second Soul Skill: Shadow Binding Chain (Glazed Light Imprisonment)
Fusion Soul Skills--
First Soul Skill: Nirvana Dragon Blade
Second Soul Skill: Twin Dragon Soul-Locking Storm
Wu Zhangkong remained as cold as ice on the surface, but deep within her eyes, a tempest was raging.
She had seen gifted soul masters, seen Twin Martial Souls, and seen Self Martial Soul Fusion—but she had never seen Twin Martial Souls that came with symbiotic synchronization!
When one side gained a soul skill, the other automatically derived a corresponding soul skill.
They could even merge into even stronger fusion soul skills!
Two rings, a level twenty-one Soul Grand Master.
For a normal soul master at this stage, six soul skills would be the absolute limit.
Yet the Xie Xie before her eyes possessed four basic soul skills, two corresponding derived soul skills, and two additional fusion soul skills!
A total of eight great soul skills!
Let alone those of the same rank, even three-ring or four-ring soul masters might not necessarily be able to surpass Xie Xie in the quantity and diversity of their soul skills.
