"Little Brother You Jie, this Twin Martial Soul of yours is truly unheard of..."
"This is the first time I have ever seen a Twin Martial Soul master whose soul ring attaches to both martial souls simultaneously, a process that cannot be halted."
"The greatest advantage of a Twin Martial Soul master is usually the ability to attach soul rings that exceed the optimal ratio to one of the martial souls once their cultivation has sufficiently increased."
"But in your case..."
In the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhang Lexuan looked at You Jie, who had just finished fusing his third soul ring, with a complex expression.
Although his soul ring configuration was already one yellow and two purple, the problem was that the soul ring setups for both of his martial souls were identical.
The theoretical advantage of having Twin Martial Souls was non-existent for You Jie.
Furthermore, this was not something other soul masters could stop; even Mu En was powerless to prevent this process.
Zhang Lexuan still remembered that a few years ago, when You Jie was obtaining his second soul ring, Mu En had specifically gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to capture a thousand-year soul beast and brought it back to the Sea God Pavilion so You Jie could absorb the ring there.
However, even with Mu En gathering the strength of all the Sea God Pavilion elders and even utilizing the "Sea God's Light," he could only act as a helpless great-grandfather, watching as You Jie's second soul ring attached itself to both martial souls at once.
This time, having witnessed You Jie's two martial souls simultaneously absorb the third soul ring, Zhang Lexuan's mood was naturally even more complicated.
You Jie, having finished absorbing his third soul ring, stood up with satisfaction. While stretching his body, he confidently explained to Zhang Lexuan:
"No, Sister Lexuan, this is my true escape—oh, I mean, combat route."
"Once we return to the academy, I will show you the true power of my two martial souls."
"For example, with the strength of a Soul Elder, I can summon a Bright Dragon that rivals a Soul Douluo."
Seeing You Jie's brimming confidence, Zhang Lexuan initially wanted to tell him not to make her laugh.
No matter how talented a Soul Elder was, could they really display abilities comparable to a Soul Douluo?
She would rather believe that a Soul King could kill someone in the hands of a Super Douluo and escape unscathed.
But she kept it to herself, because You Jie's gaze was exceptionally earnest.
In the ten years they had spent together, Zhang Lexuan considered herself to know You Jie very well, but the last time he had worn such an expression was when the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were at a loss regarding his martial souls, unsure of how to cultivate them.
Back then, You Jie had used his soul skills to fully demonstrate the plasticity of his martial souls, shattering the doubts hidden in the hearts of some elders.
Perhaps, this time, You Jie might indeed bring her enough surprises.
"Oh? You Jie, your two martial souls can truly achieve a complete transformation after reaching three rings?"
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En, lying on a recliner, slightly lifted his body and looked at You Jie with great interest.
Even with Mu En leading the Sea God Pavilion elders to search through every record in Shrek Academy, there had been no clues regarding You Jie's martial souls.
Whether it was the diverse "Resonators" and "Synchron" or the fact that every time he absorbed a soul ring, it would appear on both martial souls simultaneously, these were things the ten-thousand-year-old Shrek had never encountered.
But Mu En's mindset was healthier than the other Sea God Pavilion elders, and given that the strength You Jie currently displayed was not inferior to Bei Bei at the same cultivation level—and perhaps even surpassed it—he was optimistic about You Jie's future.
It was just that, to exert Soul Douluo-level strength with only three-ring cultivation in a short time, perhaps only the auxiliary effects of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda could achieve that, and even then, for an exceptionally short duration.
"Yes, Great-Grandfather. If you don't believe me, I can demonstrate it for you now."
"It's just that the Sea God Pavilion is too cramped..."
"No matter."
Before You Jie could finish, he felt a flash of golden light, and the next moment, the three of them appeared on the inner courtyard's martial arts arena.
"Lexuan, release your martial soul. You Jie, give it your all."
Mu En gave a simple command, then lay back down on his recliner, looking like an old man who had only come out to sunbathe.
Zhang Lexuan released her martial soul; a full moon hung in the sky above the arena, and eight soul rings of different colors appeared behind her.
Looking at the hundred-thousand-year soul ring behind Zhang Lexuan, You Jie immediately showed an expression of pity; the "good deeds" done by the Holy Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder back then were still fresh in his mind.
But immediately, his expression became much more serious, and three soul rings—one yellow and two purple—appeared on his left arm.
"First Soul Skill, Monster Summoning!"
"Go, Junk Synchron, Junk Converter!"
Although it was his first soul skill, all three of You Jie's soul rings flashed at once, and then the first two flashed again.
Immediately, a round little fellow with short limbs and an orange top hat matching his body color, "Junk Synchron," and a doll made of metal bars, "Junk Converter," appeared before You Jie.
"Oh? A Soul Elder and a Soul Grand Master-level summon, and summoned simultaneously at that, with very little soul power consumption..."
"Just based on this, You Jie has already surpassed most people of the same level."
Mu En opened his eyes slightly, watching the two summons that had appeared before You Jie.
"Next is the ability I can fully utilize now that my martial soul has reached three rings!"
"I am performing a Synchro Summon using the three-ring Junk Synchron and the two-ring Junk Converter!"
The next moment, the body of Junk Synchron immediately transformed into three green rings of light, which looped around Junk Converter, and then they both turned into light.
"Gathering stars will awaken new power, becoming a shining path of light!"
"Appear, Junk Warrior!"
As a pillar of light shot straight into the sky, a robotic figure appeared beside You Jie, its body almost entirely purple, its frame remarkably slender, eyes glowing crimson, and a white scarf wrapped around its neck.
It performed a horizontal split in mid-air, thrusting its right fist forward as if to display its raw power.
"To think it's a Soul King-level summon?!"
Zhang Lexuan could not help but raise her hands to cover her mouth, which had fallen open in astonishment.
She clearly sensed fluctuations at the Soul King level emanating from Junk Warrior, and it seemed capable of unleashing power that even surpassed that rank.
Beside her, Mu En's eyes widened further, and he lifted his upper body slightly.
The Synchro Summon just now had allowed Mu En to discern a pattern.
Junk Synchron was three rings, Junk Converter was two rings, and Junk Warrior was five rings.
3+2=5; this was a fact known even to those in the Douluo Continent, a world where formal education was not yet widespread.
Since a Soul Douluo is an eight-ring expert, that meant You Jie only needed to perform one more 5+3=8 calculation to fulfill his promise.
Mu En seemed to grasp why You Jie had claimed his Martial Soul required the Soul Elder level to truly unleash its full potential.
