Seeing that her big brother actually thought she was talking nonsense,
Huo Wu immediately grew displeased.
She pulled free of her big brother's hand.
Pouting, she said, "Brother, you don't believe me?"
"Little sister, I really have spoiled you rotten!"
Huo Wushuang shook his head.
He slapped his forehead.
Twin Martial Souls?
That was the mark of an absolute genius.
People with that kind of talent
had long since been recruited by Spirit Hall.
His little sister's talent was certainly good,
but compared with the Pope of Spirit Hall,
she didn't even come close.
Huo Wushuang knew that much.
Huo Wu was at her wit's end. "Stop, stop, stop!"
"Brother, if you really don't believe me, then watch this!"
"Hm?"
Huo Wushuang was interrupted by Huo Wu's words
for a moment.
Then,
Huo Wu immediately released her Martial Soul.
"Lion Star Dragon, come forth!!"
Roar!
Suddenly,
a lion's roar rang out.
Behind her,
the phantom of a red lion
appeared in an instant,
its presence full of majesty.
"This, this, this..."
Huo Wushuang had always been a genius.
But when he saw that his little sister actually had Twin Martial Souls,
he
was dumbstruck.
Seeing her big brother stare at her in shock,
as if he'd seen a ghost,
Huo Wu felt as sweet as if she'd eaten candy.
She struggled to keep the corners of her mouth from curling upward.
With a smug look, she asked, "Well? Was I wrong?"
She folded her arms across her chest.
A deep cleavage showed at her neckline.
"This, this, this! Little sister, when did you get Twin Martial Souls!?"
Huo Wushuang's eyes widened.
He knew his little sister was talented.
Otherwise, Huo Wu wouldn't have been a level higher than him.
But Twin Martial Souls—
just like that, she could release them?
The whole thing was too bizarre.
Their parents probably didn't even know about it!
Huo Wu put her hands on her hips. "Well, I'm not too sure myself. My teacher gave it to me."
The more vaguely Huo Wu put it,
the more shocked Huo Wushuang became.
"Teacher?"
He froze.
Could a teacher really have that kind of ability,
to make another Martial Soul appear out of thin air for Huo Wu?
And judging by the looks of it, this Martial Soul was definitely high quality!
His own Martial Soul was a high-grade beast Martial Soul: the Single-Horned Fire Tyrant Dragon!
But just now, when his little sister Huo Wu released her Second Martial Soul,
the pressure of a high-grade Martial Soul bearing down on a low-grade one
had been unmistakable!
"Is little sister's Martial Soul higher quality than my Single-Horned Fire Tyrant Dragon!?"
The moment he reached that conclusion,
Huo Wushuang was stunned.
In the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest,
at the Lake of Life,
lived two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
At that moment,
by the lake,
a girl in pink with her hair in two braids
stood on a stone pillar.
She had her small hands clasped behind her back.
She said, "Daming, Er Ming, what do you think of this Yu Xiaolong? Is he a bad person?"
The two Soul Beasts
were enormous.
Er Ming especially was huge. He exchanged a glance with Daming.
Clear foolishness shone in their eyes. "Sister Xiao Wu, this Tang San treats you well. From what you've said, that human really is despicable!"
"Sister Xiao Wu, don't worry about it. Leave that human's life to me."
The Sky Azure Bull Python swam its enormous body around
and spoke in human language.
"Daming, Er Ming, I'm counting on you. Third Brother nearly died last time."
"Sister Xiao Wu, take good care of yourself in the human world."
The two giants watched the girl leave.
When her figure had finally disappeared,
Daming looked at Er Ming. "Second Brother, what do you think? How should we handle this? After all, Sister Xiao Wu asked us to do it..."
Er Ming's body was enormous.
Standing upright, he was as tall as a small mountain.
His entire body was made of hard rock.
He looked incredibly strong.
He pounded his chest and roared, "Big Brother, don't worry."
"What can mere humans possibly do?"
"Not long ago, I ate quite a few human Soul Masters alive."
"This Yu Xiaolong dares to want Tang San dead."
"If he comes to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts, that'll be the day he dies!"
"Ke ke ke..."
Er Ming's voice rang through the forest.
What could a human possibly do?
As long as I make a move, there's only one outcome: death!
Killing intent gleamed in the Titan Giant Ape's eyes.
Yu Xiaolong stood by the lake.
Behind him
stood Shui Bing'er, graceful and refined, her bearing elegant and otherworldly. "Teacher, what are you thinking about?"
"I'm planning to go out in a couple of days."
"What level are you now?"
"Teacher, after I reached level 40, my cultivation speed slowed down."
"Not bad."
"As your level rises, the difficulty rises too."
"At a time like this, you'll need more intensive special training."
After he finished,
Yu Xiaolong fell silent again.
Shui Bing'er asked curiously, "Teacher, how powerful are you now?"
She had only witnessed her teacher's First Soul Skill before.
She hadn't seen any of the others.
Curiosity got the better of her,
and she couldn't help asking.
"Mm... Soul Skills are exceptionally important in combat between Soul Masters."
"And each Soul Ring may grant a Soul Master more than one Soul Skill."
"One Soul Ring can grant more than one Soul Skill!?"
Shui Bing'er was shocked.
Yu Xiaolong turned around
and nodded. "Mm... For example..."
As Yu Xiaolong spoke,
power gathered in his hand.
The next moment,
he released his Martial Soul.
Red, red!
Two Soul Rings
coalesced around him.
Both were red.
"Red Soul Rings!?"
Seeing the Soul Rings around her teacher,
a color she had never seen before,
Shui Bing'er's expression changed.
"T-Teacher... I heard that a red Soul Ring is a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. Teacher, you..."
Seeing Shui Bing'er's face turn pale,
her eyes wide,
Yu Xiaolong retracted his Soul Rings.
"Teacher, your Soul Rings are a hundred thousand years old, aren't they!?"
Both his First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring were red, hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings.
She didn't know what words could describe what she was feeling.
Shui Bing'er's heart was already churning like a storm-tossed sea.
"Just consider them a hundred thousand years old."
Yu Xiaolong offered no further explanation.
The First Soul Ring was a hundred thousand years old.
The Second Soul Ring was 390,000 years old.
It was still in the hundred-thousand-year tier.
"Here, take this."
Suddenly,
Yu Xiaolong took an Immortal Herb from his hand.
"Teacher, this is..."
Shui Bing'er looked at the Immortal Herb in her teacher's hand, its surface shimmering.
It was ice blue.
The moment it appeared,
Shui Bing'er felt a chill.
One glance was enough to tell it was no ordinary plant.
"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass."
"I picked it from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well last time."
"Taking it might help you break through your level bottleneck in a short time."
"It can also transform your Soul Power. You might as well give it a try."
At that,
Shui Bing'er was stunned.
"Teacher, this is far too precious!"
Her cheeks flushed.
But she couldn't tear her eyes away.
Her gaze gave her away.
An Immortal Herb was a treasure beyond compare.
It was something one could only chance upon, never seek out.
As it happened, she had an Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.
It was a perfect match for this Immortal Herb!
"Take it. You're my disciple, and besides, you helped me a great deal with what happened last time."
