Shuttling Through Douluo: Won't You Be Blown Away When I Pull Out a Dou Technique? Part 4

"It's Flame! A rare elemental Martial Soul!"

Liu Bai looked at the clusters of flame burning in his palm.

He did not feel the slightest heat. Instead, it made him feel incredibly comfortable.

Is this my Martial Soul?

Flame?

But why... did it feel like he had another Martial Soul?

Could it be Twin Martial Souls?

But why had it not manifested? Before he could continue thinking, Si Si had already brought the blue crystal ball before him.

"Come, hurry and test your Innate Soul Power."

Following her instructions, Liu Bai placed his hand on it. The Soul Power within his body seemed to find an outlet and poured out in one rush.

The next instant, the blue crystal ball bloomed with dazzling blue light!

"Level eight! Innate Soul Power level eight! A genius!"

Si Si cried out excitedly.

It's settled, it's settled! My promotion is guaranteed!

Blood Martial Soul! Encounter in the Soul Hunting Forest

She could barely wait to speak.

"Little brother! Listen to your big sister. Do you want to join our Spirit Hall? Spirit Hall is the most powerful and legitimate force on the entire continent! It has the most resources, the broadest connections, and the most complete training system! As long as you agree, with your talent, you'll definitely receive the best resources and the finest teachers! Your future will be limitless!"

Her little calculations rattled away in her heart.

She had personally awakened this child's Martial Soul. An elemental Flame Martial Soul, with Innate Soul Power level eight—such talent was practically heaven-defying in Nuoding City!

As long as she brought him into Spirit Hall, once he grew up, would she, the one who had discovered him, still have to worry about gaining benefits?

A promotion, a pay raise, a transfer to a branch hall in a larger city... just thinking about it thrilled her!

Liu Bai listened to Si Si's enthusiastic, over-the-top sales pitch, but remained calm inside.

Join Spirit Hall?

It sounded pretty good. It was always easier to thrive under the shade of a great tree.

But... for someone like him, who held the Shuttle Gate and could freely travel between the Douluo World and the Battle Through the Heavens World, was it really necessary?

Apparently... not at all!

He could go to the Battle Through the Heavens World and obtain a more complete cultivation system, more powerful cultivation methods and Dou Techniques, and resources.

Were the pills, Heavenly Flames, and rare treasures of the Battle Through the Heavens World not tempting?

A training system?

Wasn't the clear path of the Dou Qi Continent, from Dou Qi to Dou Emperor, far more reliable than Douluo's system, which mostly depended on Martial Soul talent?

Besides, Spirit Hall was currently controlled by that lunatic Bibi Dong. Its internal factions were complicated, and in the future, it would launch a war that swept across the continent.

Joining now carried no small amount of risk.

He could rely on the Shuttle Gate to quietly make a fortune in both worlds and develop in secret. There was no need to find a company to work for.

So, he would politely decline Spirit Hall's offer.

A trace of hesitation appeared on Liu Bai's face.

"Big Sister Si Si, well... joining Spirit Hall is a major decision. I need to think it over carefully."

Si Si slapped her forehead upon hearing that.

"Ah! I was too hasty! You're right, little brother. This is a major matter, and you should think it over carefully."

Though she was a little disappointed, she was not too surprised.

As long as she maintained their relationship, there would still be opportunities in the future.

She turned around and swiftly filled out the Martial Soul certificate.

"This is your Martial Soul certificate. It records your name, Martial Soul, and Innate Soul Power level. You'll need it no matter where you go in the future. Keep it safe."

She handed the certificate to Liu Bai.

"If you ever want to join Spirit Hall, you can come find your big sister anytime!"

Liu Bai accepted the certificate, put it away, and smiled.

"Mm! Thank you, Big Sister Si Si. I'll think about it carefully."

The more Si Si looked at Liu Bai, the more pleasing she found him. It was a pity she was a little too old for him, otherwise... sigh, she could only be his big sister.

A moment later, Si Si escorted Liu Bai to the entrance of Spirit Hall. He also received a small bag of beginner gifts from Spirit Hall.

"Little Bai, remember to come visit often."

"Okay. Bye-bye, Big Sister Si Si."

Liu Bai left Spirit Hall and hurried straight home. He could not wait to study his Martial Souls!

The feeling that there was another Martial Soul within him had lingered in his mind the entire time.

"Could it be... a Body Martial Soul?"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

A Body Martial Soul was part of one's body, such as the eyes, bones, or blood!

If such a Martial Soul did not manifest outwardly, there was no way to tell from appearance alone.

After returning home,

following a careful round of sensing and experimentation, he finally figured it out!

He truly possessed two Martial Souls!

His first Martial Soul was Flame—the golden flame that had appeared in his palm during awakening.

His second Martial Soul was a Body Martial Soul: blood!

When he fully activated his second Martial Soul, a faint, flowing blood-red glow appeared beneath the skin across his body, as though he were shrouded in an extremely thin mist of blood.

This was the state of his Blood Martial Soul possessing his body!

Liu Bai analyzed it inwardly.

"This Blood Martial Soul should be my original Martial Soul. As for the Flame Martial Soul..."

He recalled his experience of traveling to the Battle Through the Heavens World and cultivating Dou Qi.

"It was most likely because I went to the Battle Through the Heavens World and cultivated Dou Qi, causing some sort of change in my body that gave me this additional Flame Martial Soul!"

After all, those with Twin Martial Souls generally possessed Innate Full Soul Power, while he did not.

Therefore, he had most likely originally possessed only one Martial Soul, and now, thanks to the benefits of the Shuttle Gate, he had gained another!

"Whatever! What matters is the result—I have two Martial Souls now!"

Liu Bai quickly cast the question of their origin aside and began making excited plans.

A Flame Martial Soul! Its potential was limitless!

He could travel to the Dou Qi Continent. What was the most crucial thing on the Dou Qi Continent?

Heavenly Flames!

As for the Blood Martial Soul, as a Body Martial Soul, how to cultivate and develop it in the present-day Douluo Continent was completely uncharted territory. He could only explore it himself.

But he had the Shuttle Gate!

He remembered that the Dou Qi Continent seemed to have forces that cultivated blood energy, blood-element cultivation methods, and Dou Techniques.

For example, the Blood Sect of the Black-Corner Region.

So, the answer to developing his Blood Martial Soul would most likely have to be found on the Dou Qi Continent!

With his thoughts clear, Liu Bai summoned the Shuttle Gate once again and returned to the small courtyard in Bitter Sea Town in the Battle Through the Heavens World.

He felt that the natural energy of the Battle Through the Heavens World seemed purer than that of the Douluo World.

"I'll do my daily cultivation here from now on! I'll return to the Douluo World when I need Soul Rings."

Of course, he did not intend to neglect his knowledge of the Douluo World either, especially knowledge concerning soul beasts and Soul Rings.

He had long since made plans for his choice of Soul Rings.

Attack-type Soul Skills and defense-type Soul Skills? No!

He wanted only one kind: percentage-based enhancement Soul Skills!

Why? Because they offered the best value!

The percentage-based enhancement Soul Skills of the Douluo World were absurdly powerful. They could directly increase strength, speed, and attack power by dozens of percent or even more!

And they consumed only Soul Power, with no side effects.

In the Dou Qi Continent, such things were called secret techniques! High-level secret techniques at that, ones with enormous costs that could not be used lightly! Yet in the Douluo World, a hundred-year or thousand-year Soul Ring might simply come with one!

"Dou Techniques for offense and defense, Soul Rings for enhancement buffs. Combining both systems is perfect!"

Liu Bai could already see himself slaughtering his way across the world in the future.

Time flew by, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Over those three months, Liu Bai lived a regular life.

During the day, he studied common knowledge about the continent in the Battle Through the Heavens World. At night, he cultivated intensely.

The results were gratifying.

In the Douluo World, his Soul Power successfully broke through to level ten! He had reached the threshold for obtaining his first Soul Ring.

In the Battle Through the Heavens World, his Dou Qi cultivation had also steadily advanced to Dou Qi Tier Two! The Dou Qi in his dantian had grown much stronger.
