Twin Martial Souls

"Pant... pant..."

Grey Wolf panted heavily, his eyes bloodshot and his face unshaven. He looked as though he were on the verge of a mental breakdown, both dejected and frantic.

"I'm finally free!"

Grey Wolf threw back his head and roared. That roar carried all his longing for freedom.

At that moment, both Elder Ling and Feng Tianyu changed expressions.

Elder Ling sized Grey Wolf up and down, looking shocked and confused.

As for the Feng Clan's inherited martial soul, he remembered it being the Gale Demon Wolf. What exactly was this thing before him?

Although it somewhat resembled a wolf in appearance, it stood on two hind legs and had even spoken just now. He simply had not understood a single word of what it said.

This wolf-like creature, unshaven, bloodshot-eyed, and wearing an utterly dejected yet frantic expression, possessed none of the Gale Demon Wolf's ferocity or strength.

Had the martial soul mutated?

A mutated detached martial soul!

But strangely enough, this martial soul could actually speak. Could it be an intelligent detached martial soul?!

Then this martial soul had immense research value.

Martial souls on Douluo Continent came in countless strange forms, and martial soul mutations were not uncommon.

Elder Ling's first reaction was that Feng Tianyu's Gale Demon Wolf martial soul had mutated.

Feng Tianyu's gaze flickered. He swiftly suppressed his inner shock and accepted the fact that he had awakened a Grey Wolf martial soul.

There was nothing bad about a Grey Wolf martial soul. As the number one scientist of the wolf clan, Grey Wolf's astonishing intelligence, combined with soul tool technology, would surely create countless sparks.

The only concern was that if Grey Wolf did not understand the situation and blurted out things about transmigration or Green Green Grassland, it could cause trouble.

Fortunately, the words Grey Wolf had spoken just now seemed to be in the language of Green Green Grassland rather than the language of Douluo Continent. Elder Ling had not understood him.

Feng Tianyu did not understand the language either, but he could grasp its meaning. Perhaps it was because of the bond between host and martial soul that they came with a built-in translation function.

That made Feng Tianyu breathe a sigh of relief. Just as he had transmigrated from Blue Star and needed to learn the language of Douluo Continent from scratch, Grey Wolf had transmigrated from Green Green Grassland and would likewise need to learn the local language anew. At least for the time being, he would not have to worry about Grey Wolf recklessly exposing the truth of their transmigration.

Feng Tianyu pursed his lips and raised a hand, silently thinking the word return. Instantly, a terrifying suction force erupted. Grey Wolf, who had only just regained his freedom, was unable to resist as he turned into a gray beam of light and returned to Feng Tianyu's body.

Only one unfinished sentence continued to echo through the room:

"No! I've only just regained my freedom! I'll definitely come back..."

After withdrawing the Grey Wolf martial soul, Feng Tianyu took a deep breath. He put on the reaction a normal six-year-old child should have, tossing the entire problem to Elder Ling. His voice trembled slightly.

"Elder Ling, what happened to my martial soul? Why isn't it Father's Gale Demon Wolf martial soul?"

By asking first, Feng Tianyu seized the initiative!

Hearing this, Elder Ling looked at Feng Tianyu and entered explanation mode.

"Tianyu, this should be the result of a martial soul mutation. Martial souls are not immutable. During inheritance, they may mutate for all kinds of reasons."

"There are beneficial mutations, which can transform a trash martial soul into a top-tier martial soul. There are also harmful mutations, which can turn a top-tier martial soul into a trash martial soul."

"Your detached martial soul... hmm... In the history of Shrek Academy, that master who established the Ten Core Competitiveness Theories of Martial Souls, Ancestor Yu Xiaogang, seemed to have possessed a mutated detached martial soul as well."

"I cannot easily judge whether your case is a beneficial mutation or a harmful one. Let's first test your Innate Soul Power. Innate Soul Power represents a soul master's talent. By looking at its level, we can roughly determine whether your mutation is beneficial or harmful."

As he spoke, Elder Ling took a blue crystal ball from the Storage Soul Tool at his waist and held it out before Feng Tianyu.

"Tianyu, place your hand on it!"

Feng Tianyu also wanted to know his Innate Soul Power. He nodded and placed his right hand on the crystal ball.

A suction force burst forth from the crystal ball. Feng Tianyu's body trembled as a warm current that had originally rested in his dantian surged up through his meridians, entered his right arm, and was drawn away by the crystal ball.

The next instant, the crystal ball blossomed with dazzling light. Within the crystal ball, which had previously been empty, the number 10 appeared.

"Innate Full Soul Power!"

Elder Ling was utterly stunned. The golden light around him rippled violently, showing just how unsettled he was.

Innate Full Soul Power was the highest-tier talent a soul master could possess!

Elder Ling could now confirm that Feng Tianyu's martial soul mutation was definitely beneficial.

No matter how scruffy that wolf-shaped martial soul looked, a martial soul capable of granting Innate Full Soul Power had to be a top-tier martial soul.

When Elder Ling looked at Feng Tianyu now, both his eyes shone as though he were looking at an unparalleled piece of uncut jade.

With Innate Full Soul Power, as long as Feng Tianyu did not die prematurely, he would surely be able to cultivate into a Titled Douluo in the future.

Seeing that he possessed Innate Full Soul Power, Feng Tianyu parted his lips slightly, his eyes also revealing a trace of daze.

Could the Grey Wolf martial soul grant him Innate Full Soul Power?

Feng Tianyu could not be certain!

But his second martial soul could definitely grant him Innate Full Soul Power.

That was right!

Feng Tianyu possessed Twin Martial Souls!

When he had just awakened his martial soul, aside from Grey Wolf separating from his body, his own body had also heated slightly. His heartbeat accelerated, his blood raced through his entire body, and he felt that his strength, speed, reflexes... all had improved enormously.

Feng Tianyu possessed his first martial soul, Grey Wolf, as well as his second martial soul, his body itself!

It was incredibly unbelievable, yet it had truly happened.

Thinking about it now, Grey Wolf had not merely transmigrated into his martial soul. Instead, he had transmigrated into the Gale Demon Wolf martial soul within Feng Tianyu, and the two had fused into the detached martial soul he now possessed.

The vacancy in Feng Tianyu's own martial soul had instead nourished his body into a martial soul.

Such a situation was exceedingly rare in the world!

Light appeared in Feng Tianyu's eyes. In the past, his gaze had always carried indifference, born from the clarity of seeing through the future and the despair of being powerless to change it, leaving him indifferent to everything.

But now, things were different!

With Twin Martial Souls, Feng Tianyu could vigorously develop soul tool technology through his Grey Wolf martial soul, while also cultivating into a top-tier powerhouse through his Body Martial Soul.

He saw hope—the hope of standing at the pinnacle of power on Douluo Continent!

Feng Tianyu let out a long breath and withdrew the hand resting on the crystal ball. The crystal ball's dazzling radiance immediately faded once more.

In stark contrast to the dimmed crystal ball were Feng Tianyu's sparkling eyes.

"Elder Ling, thank you for awakening my martial soul and testing my Innate Soul Power. I now request that you arrange for someone to take me hunting a soul beast so that I may obtain my first Soul Ring."

As though waking from a dream, Elder Ling first put away the crystal ball used to test Soul Power. Then his eyes lit up as he spoke solemnly.

"Tianyu, your talent is simply too outstanding. I would not feel at ease letting someone else take you to hunt soul beasts."

"I've decided. I will personally take you to the Star Dou Great Forest. I awakened your martial soul, and now I will also help you obtain your first Soul Ring."

"Besides, there is one more matter!"

"Regarding your mutated martial soul and Innate Full Soul Power, I will report them to Shrek Academy. I hope the academy's upper ranks can make an exception and admit you, focusing on nurturing you."

"Although our Shrek City Defense Army answers to the Lord of Shrek City, we ultimately fall under the leadership of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion. We still have some influence at Shrek Academy."

"Your talent absolutely cannot be buried. It is a pity that your father, Feng Zheng'en, could not see all this. Otherwise, he would surely have been greatly comforted."

Feng Tianyu was delighted. Elder Ling was a Soul Saint. With him personally taking action, he would certainly be able to help Feng Tianyu obtain a first Soul Ring with the most suitable attributes and age limit.

As for reporting this to Shrek Academy, that was good too. If he could receive exceptional admission to Shrek Academy and focused training, it would undoubtedly greatly accelerate his growth.

Feng Tianyu bowed slightly, his tone grateful.

"Thank you, Elder Ling. I will follow Elder Ling's arrangements in all things!"

Elder Ling smiled, every wrinkle on his face relaxing. As an old City Defense Army soldier, how could he not be happy to see a genius emerge among the descendants of City Defense Army soldiers?

Afterward, Elder Ling gave Feng Tianyu a few more instructions, telling him to return to the City Defense Office early the next morning. He would personally take him to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a Soul Ring.

Only after giving those instructions did he allow Feng Tianyu to leave.

When Feng Tianyu left, he still felt as though he had crossed into another lifetime. Only when he stepped out of the City Defense Office and the warm sunlight, accompanied by a gentle breeze, lightly brushed against his face did he fully awaken.

His state of mind was now utterly different from before, and his bright eyes shone with the vitality of youth.

Peerless Tang Sect truly could not compare to Douluo Continent!

Douluo Continent was a relatively open place. Opportunities that belonged to Tang San, such as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and Sea God Island, could be contested by anyone.

Compared to Douluo Continent, Peerless Tang Sect was more like a privately tailored story. Every opportunity revolved around the Child of Fortune, Huo Yuhao. Without fulfilling the prerequisites, it was difficult to trigger those opportunities.

Feng Tianyu had not been qualified to compete for them in the past, but that might not be the case in the future.

Since he was already here, he definitely could not just be a bystander.

Since those opportunities were currently ownerless, Feng Tianyu might well seize the chance to compete for one or two of them.

Seeing Feng Tianyu emerge, the two City Defense Army soldiers standing guard at the gate warmly showed their goodwill.

"Tianyu, did the martial soul awakening go smoothly?"

"How was your talent? Do you have what it takes to become a soul master?"

Feng Tianyu smiled brightly, his voice clear.

"The martial soul awakening went very smoothly. Elder Ling said that I should return to the City Defense Office tomorrow. He will personally take me to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a Soul Ring."

"Goodbye, uncles. I'll come again tomorrow."

After saying that, Feng Tianyu left.

Only after Feng Tianyu's back gradually disappeared into the distance did the two City Defense Army soldiers slowly grasp the implication.

He had awakened his martial soul today and could hunt for a Soul Ring tomorrow. Did that not mean Feng Tianyu possessed Level 10 Soul Power?

The two City Defense Army soldiers sucked in a cold breath. Innate Full Soul Power was the most top-tier talent on the continent.

After leaving the City Defense Office, Feng Tianyu walked briskly, wind practically beneath his feet. In just over ten minutes, he returned to his residence in the western part of the city.

It was a small villa.

The villa had two stories, with blue brick walls and gray tiles, bearing the marks of time's erosion. It looked rather old, but it was kept spotlessly clean. Feng Tianyu was usually quite diligent.

In Shrek City, where every inch of land was precious, being able to own such a small villa was already the final glory of their Shenfeng Lineage.

Feng Tianyu could not wait to push the door open. He locked it behind him, entered the living room, and hurried back and forth to draw every curtain tightly shut.

Only then did he take a deep breath and slowly let it out. Raising a hand, he willed it, summoning his first martial soul, Grey Wolf, once again.

Gray light flickered over his body, and Grey Wolf's not particularly tall figure condensed from within that gray radiance.

Having regained freedom once more, Grey Wolf greedily breathed in the fresh air, wearing an expression of wild delight.

Feng Tianyu opened his mouth, intending to say something, but wary that walls might have ears, he did not speak in the language of Douluo Continent. Instead, he spoke in the language of Blue Star from his previous life.

He hoped that the bond between him and Grey Wolf would let Grey Wolf understand him, just as he could understand Grey Wolf's words.

Feng Tianyu spoke urgently.

"Grey Wolf, I think we need to have a proper talk!"

Grey Wolf was greatly startled. He widened his eyes, glaring at Feng Tianyu with his vertical pupils. A cold glint flashed as he extended his claws and assumed an attacking stance, his wolfish face turning fierce.

"How do you know this king's name? What kind of animal are you? Were you the one who locked this king up? You locked this king away for so many years, and today, this king will make you pay!"

Joy flashed through Feng Tianyu's eyes.

He could understand the language of Green Green Grassland spoken by Grey Wolf.

Grey Wolf could also understand the language of Blue Star that he spoke.

This was truly wonderful. As long as they did not communicate in the language of Douluo Continent, their conversations would be completely encrypted.

Even if they discussed transmigration in the future, they would not need to fear someone listening through the walls.

Feng Tianyu did not explain his identity immediately. Instead, he first showered Grey Wolf with praise.

"Grey Wolf, of course I know you!"

"You're incredibly famous where I come from. You're the wolf clan's number one scientist, and also a model husband and father who loves his wife and son. Your deeds have even been shown on television!"

"You could say I grew up watching your stories. Where I'm from, you're an enormous celebrity!"

Under Feng Tianyu's continuous flattery, Grey Wolf quickly lowered his guard. He put away his fierce expression and stopped pointing his claws at Feng Tianyu.

A smug smile appeared on Grey Wolf's face. One claw scratched the back of his head, and he smiled so broadly that his eyes narrowed into slits. Feng Tianyu could even see two oval patches of red blush on his gray-furred cheeks.

He really could not take a compliment—one little bit of praise, and he was blushing already!

Grey Wolf laughed smugly.

"This king is really that famous? A huge celebrity?"

Feng Tianyu nodded with absolute certainty.

"Of course. You're my idol. I've always supported you in eating that hateful Weslie!"

Grey Wolf's smile became even smugger. At the same time, he waved a claw and said,

"Hahahaha... So you're this king's fan. Then this king believes you!"

"Although Weslie is very hateful, I don't catch sheep anymore!"

"Wait..."

Grey Wolf seemed to remember something. He suddenly stopped laughing, clutched his head with both claws, and every hair on his body stood on end. His face became a picture of shock.

"My wife! My son!"

"This king has been locked up for so many years! My wife and son must be worried sick about me!"

"You there, who exactly are you? Even if you are this king's fan, if you were the one who locked me up, this king will not go easy on you!"

Feng Tianyu felt a wave of relief. Grey Wolf was still the same Grey Wolf—he loved his wife and son. As long as Feng Tianyu could persuade Grey Wolf to help him, Grey Wolf could become the cheat that would allow him to gain a foothold on the continent.

He introduced himself.

"I'm a human. My name is Feng Tianyu!"

"Grey Wolf, I wasn't the one who locked you up. Like you, I do not belong to this world."

"You came from Green Green Grassland, while I came from Blue Star. I was thrown into this world six years ago, and I estimate you were thrown into this world six years ago as well."

"This place is called Douluo Continent. Grey Wolf, I hope you can help me. Once we grow strong together in the future, we may have a chance to help you find your way home."

"I believe your wife and son must still be at home, desperately waiting for you to return."
