Twin Martial Souls, the Crystal Ball Exploded?

The golden finger had arrived, and Lin Fan felt an immediate sense of relief.

If nothing else, at the very least, he no longer had to worry about his own survival!

Collecting his thoughts, Lin Fan had just retracted his Poké Ball Martial Soul when he sensed something amiss.

On his palm, there was actually a cluster of radiance.

Lin Fan's pupils contracted sharply, and a guess immediately formed in his heart.

Could it be that he had also awakened a second Martial Soul?

With his mental energy highly concentrated—to the point that he didn't even notice the words of Hall Master Xu and the others—a panel appeared once more.

"Second Martial Soul: Evolution Light (Can consume Soul Power to be used on a Martial Soul or a Soul Ring to cause it to evolve; each Martial Soul and Soul Ring has only one opportunity)."

"Soul Ring: None".

"!!!"

When he had previously seen that his second Martial Soul was "None," Lin Fan had been quite disappointed; he hadn't expected it to be reorganized for him so quickly.

It seemed that perhaps this second Martial Soul was too heaven-defying, requiring time to load.

"Young Master Lin... Young Master Lin!"

The voice came abruptly, startling Lin Fan out of his contemplation, and he finally remembered that he was still inside the Martial Soul Hall.

"Haha, Young Master Lin, come and test your Soul Power."

Even though he hadn't recognized what Lin Fan's Martial Soul was, given Lin Qingfeng's status, Hall Master Xu's attitude remained warm.

Lin Fan also snapped back to reality, knowing this wasn't the right place to delve into his Poké Ball Martial Soul or the Evolution Light Martial Soul. He smiled, extended his hand, and followed Hall Master Xu's instructions to test his Soul Power.

Hum—

Almost the instant Lin Fan's fingers touched the crystal ball, a brilliant golden radiance bloomed, the intense light filling the entire Martial Soul Hall and leaving everyone stunned.

Bang!

A crisp explosion rang out; the crystal ball had actually shattered, causing Hall Master Xu, Lin Qingfeng, and the others to widen their eyes in shock.

It wasn't that they hadn't seen Innate Full Soul Power before—even if it was rare, one would certainly encounter it occasionally over the span of a few decades.

But this... what was going on with the crystal ball exploding?

Could it be that Lin Fan's Innate Soul Power exceeded level 10?

In an instant, Hall Master Xu's expression became agitated.

If such a genius appeared in his branch hall, as long as he could recruit him into the Martial Soul Hall, it would be a massive contribution!

The way he looked at Lin Fan immediately became fervent.

The light soon dissipated, and Lin Fan glanced at the shattered crystal ball, feeling equally surprised.

He had originally thought he would just have Innate Full Soul Power; he hadn't expected to be able to blow up the crystal ball.

"Ahem."

Lin Fan blinked and said in a low voice, "Hall Master Xu, I don't need to pay for this crystal ball, do I?"

Hearing this, Hall Master Xu's body trembled, and he quickly said, "No, no need at all!"

Looking over at Lin Qingfeng, who was still in a state of shock, Hall Master Xu leaned in close and whispered, "Master Lin, the young master's talent is truly extraordinary. Why don't we find a place to talk?"

"..."

Lin Qingfeng swept a glance at Hall Master Xu from the corner of his eye and smiled. "Today is the day for awakening Martial Souls, and you have many matters to attend to, Hall Master Xu, so I won't disturb you further. If there is anything to discuss, we can do so another day."

"Fan'er, let's go home. We shall celebrate your birthday properly today!"

As he spoke, Lin Qingfeng picked up Lin Fan with a chuckle and turned to leave.

Hall Master Xu wanted to say more but didn't dare to stop them. After all, the man had made it very clear he was going home to celebrate a birthday, so he could only watch helplessly as Lin Fan departed.

No! I've never encountered such talent before—to be able to burst a crystal ball while testing Soul Power—I must report this to the higher-ups!

If I'm not qualified, then I'll find someone of higher rank! This credit, I am determined to claim!

One who could reach the level of a Hall Master was naturally a person of decision and certainly not a fool.

Lin Fan, meanwhile, was secretly surprised. His cheap father didn't even give face to a Hall Master; just what was his true identity?

Previously, Lin Fan had only thought his cheap father was bad at making money, but now it seemed that to survive well in the Douluo Continent, a world where the strong were respected, his Soul Power cultivation must not be low at all!

Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.

Heaven had truly not treated him poorly!

Back home, Lin Qingfeng dismissed the various maids and guards. He stared at Lin Fan, the lighthearted expression on his face no longer present.

"Sigh."

With a heavy sigh, Lin Qingfeng said softly, "Fan'er, you've brought disaster upon your father! A tree that stands above the forest will be destroyed by the wind!"

"You are so outstanding; if the higher-ups of the Martial Soul Hall come, your father... your father won't be able to hide anymore!"

Lin Fan blinked, stunned. It seemed his own home... was hiding some kind of secret?!

Could it be that his father, or perhaps his mother, was a soul beast?

No, that wasn't right!

If they were soul beasts, the child born would surely inherit their martial soul. How could he be like this, possessing two martial souls that were incredibly unique and didn't even seem to belong to the Douluo Continent?

"Forget it. Since you have this talent, I cannot let it go to waste."

Lin Qingfeng looked at the dazed Lin Fan and said in a deep voice, "Although you are still young, your current mindset is the most untainted."

"Fan'er, do you wish to embark on the path of cultivation? If you do, I will personally take you to hunt for soul rings and lay a solid foundation for you!"

"If you do not wish to cultivate, then just follow your heart. Our family has wealth, and we can ensure you live a life free of worry."

"I... I want to cultivate!"

Lin Fan made his choice without the slightest hesitation.

Having read so many novels, he naturally understood that in a world where strength was respected, money was useless; only power mattered.

Otherwise, if a powerhouse came to "borrow" some money, could you really refuse to give it?

Since he had a golden finger, wouldn't it be a waste not to walk the path of cultivation?

Once his strength improved, making money would be even easier.

Moreover, the moment Lin Fan saw that his martial soul was a Poké Ball, he had already thought of a way to make money.

Capture soul beasts, turn them into martial souls or soul rings, and sell them to others!

He understood the Douluo Continent well and knew that many soul masters spent their entire lives unable to obtain a good soul ring.

A martial soul was something that stayed with them for a lifetime; if the awakened martial soul was poor, it meant they would remain at the very bottom, forever unable to turn their lives around!

If Lin Fan could capture good martial souls and soul rings to sell at this time, they would definitely be in short supply, attracting countless customers!

The price?

As long as those people could afford it, they would pay even if it meant going bankrupt!

Thus, increasing his strength became a matter of urgent priority for Lin Fan.

After all, without sufficient strength, how could he capture high-quality soul beasts?

And without sufficient strength, how could he protect the wealth he earned?

"Good..."

Lin Qingfeng let out a deep sigh. Just then, footsteps sounded outside the room, followed by a woman's voice: "Brother Feng, what martial soul did Fan'er awaken?"

"Was it the sword martial soul of the Lin Clan, or my Azure Deer martial soul?"

"Hmph, my eldest sister was showing off to me just the other day, saying that Xiao Chen awakened the Bright Moon martial soul and even had Innate Full Soul Power!"

"If Fan'er's awakened martial soul is too poor, I won't be able to face my family!"

"..."

As the words fell, Lin Qingfeng's expression couldn't help but turn strange.

The Bright Moon martial soul?

What was that compared to this? Lin Fan had awakened a mysterious martial soul that had never appeared in this world before!

Innate Full Soul Power?

Lin Fan had shattered the crystal ball itself!
