Gale Two-Headed Wolf

The outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest!

An elderly man with a hunched back, white hair, eyebrows, and beard, his face a map of deep wrinkles, led a handsome six-year-old boy and a grey wolf that stood upright and walked on its hind legs along a path worn wide by countless feet, entering the forest.

These two and the one wolf were none other than Mu En, the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, along with Feng Tianyu and his Martial Soul, Grey Wolf.

Back at the City Defense Office, Mu En had promised to help Feng Tianyu find a Soul Beast to serve as his first Soul Ring.

Mu En, naturally, would not break his word. He took Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf, shifting through space; with the world blurring like a revolving lantern, they arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest in the blink of an eye.

This displayed the terrifying power of a level 99 Limit Title Douluo to the fullest.

Mu En's expression was kind, without a shred of formidable aura leaking out; he looked just like an ordinary old man taking his grandson out for an excursion.

"Tianyu, you come from a family of Soul Masters. Having grown up around it, I believe you are no stranger to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"This is the largest Soul Beast forest on our Douluo Continent. Even in these outer fringes, century-old or even millennium-old Soul Beasts can be found."

"Under normal circumstances, the limit for a Soul Master's first Soul Ring is 423 years. We are here on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest to find you a 400-year-old wind-attribute Soul Beast. What do you think?"

Feng Tianyu possessed Twin Martial Souls. For his second Martial Soul, he would eventually have the opportunity to attach 100,000-year Soul Rings to every slot.

Therefore, in cultivating his first Martial Soul, Feng Tianyu sought efficiency, aiming to reach the nine-ring Title Douluo realm in the shortest time possible.

Thus, he did not blindly pursue breaking physical limits at this moment. As long as it was suitable and allowed him to break through to become a Soul Master after absorbing the ring, Feng Tianyu was satisfied.

After all, he was not a child of destiny like Huo Yuhao, who could run into the Star Dou Great Forest alone and have the million-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sacrifice itself to him; that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could not be sought.

"I will follow all of Mu En's arrangements!"

Seeing that Feng Tianyu had no objections, Mu En released his spiritual power, which swept through the forest like a flowing tide, beginning to select a suitable Soul Beast for the boy.

He viewed Feng Tianyu as a future pillar of Shrek Academy; naturally, he would not be careless in selecting his first Soul Ring.

Within the limits of what was possible, Mu En intended to lay the most solid foundation for Feng Tianyu.

As their group ventured deeper into the forest, the traces of human presence grew increasingly scarce. A scent of mixed floral fragrance and the rot of damp earth rushed toward them, filled with a primitive and wild aura.

Along the way, there was little tension on Feng Tianyu's face. Although this Star Dou Great Forest was one of the most dangerous places on the continent, the man beside him, Mu En, was one of the top powerhouses in the world.

Even if the Beast God Di Tian himself were to appear, Mu En could protect him and retreat safely. Thus, Feng Tianyu felt completely relaxed, even observing the scenery of the Star Dou Great Forest with keen interest.

Compared to Feng Tianyu, Grey Wolf appeared jumpy. Occasionally, a Wind Baboon would dart out from the forest, or a few Nether Wolves would emerge, and it would be frightened into bristling its fur, baring its fangs and claws in an attempt to scare the beasts away.

In truth, Grey Wolf had no need to be nervous. Under the cover of Mu En's spiritual power, these ordinary ten-year or century-old Soul Beasts could not detect them at all.

Although Mu En was not a spirit-attribute Soul Master, with his spiritual power as deep as the abyss, deceiving the sight, smell, and hearing of these common beasts was an effortless feat.

Grey Wolf barked vigilantly:

"Feng Tianyu, what is this place? The animals in this forest all give this Great King a very dangerous feeling!"

Feng Tianyu smiled and comforted him:

"This is the Star Dou Great Forest, a Soul Beast forest. These animals are Soul Beasts, all with decades or even centuries of cultivation. They aren't things we can provoke, but Grey Wolf, don't worry. With Mu En here, even if a 100,000-year Soul Beast ran out, it wouldn't be able to hurt us."

Hearing the exchange between Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf, Mu En was amazed. He could not understand what the boy and the wolf were saying; after all, the Blue Star language Feng Tianyu spoke and the Green Green Grassland language Grey Wolf used were not native to the Douluo Continent.

The communication between Feng Tianyu and Grey Wolf was like a team voice chat. As host and Martial Soul, their minds were connected, and their speech was translated directly.

Others, even Mu En, could not understand their exchange, at least not without time to decipher the Blue Star and Green Green Grassland languages.

Yet, the high intelligence of Grey Wolf still left Mu En feeling astonished. Could it be that this Gale Demon Wolf variant had actually mutated to possess a spiritual attribute, allowing it to communicate with its host?

The more Mu En thought about it, the more likely it seemed. For two Martial Souls to exist as a twin set, their quality would not differ too greatly.

The fact that it could be a twin to Feng Tianyu's Body Martial Soul suggested that this "Grey Wolf" Martial Soul had extraordinary qualities, such as a mutation into a spiritual attribute.

Mu En's slightly cloudy eyes shone with deep, wise light:

"Tianyu, your first Martial Soul is not simple. Although your control over the wind attribute is only average, the ability to communicate with you without barriers and such high intelligence suggests it has very likely mutated a spiritual attribute."

"An externalized Martial Soul capable of independent thought offers you infinite possibilities for the future. For instance, once you condense a co-resonant dual Soul Core, you might be able to use both your Martial Souls simultaneously."

"Your Grey Wolf Martial Soul is externalized and possesses intelligence, allowing it to fight on its own, while you have your own Body Martial Soul to use. You can act as two people at once, making you invincible against anyone in battle."

"By the way, speaking of Soul Cores, you may not be aware, but that is the solid-state soul power that only a Soul Master who has broken through to the Title Douluo realm has the chance to condense. It can vastly improve a Soul Master's soul power quantity, quality, and recovery speed."

"You are only a Soul Master now; telling you the specific method of Soul Core condensation would only be counterproductive. Once you break through to level 89, the academy will teach you all the knowledge regarding Soul Cores."

Feng Tianyu's eyes widened slightly, a look of contemplation on his face. Mu En's experience was indeed profound; a few words of guidance made him feel as if a veil had been lifted.

That's right!

He was not an ordinary Twin Martial Soul user. His first Martial Soul, Grey Wolf, was externalized, and his second Martial Soul was his own body. If he could use both simultaneously, his combat power would double—it would be two against one against anyone!

A look of anticipation flashed in Feng Tianyu's eyes. Just as Mu En said, the Grey Wolf Martial Soul could bring him infinite possibilities.

"One word from Mu En is worth ten years of study!"

"This junior thanks Mu En for the guidance. Once I reach level 89, I will come to ask Mu En for the method of Soul Core condensation."

"Or, is it possible to condense a Soul Core early? For example, at level 70 as a Soul Saint, could I condense one in advance?"

Hearing this question, Mu En frowned. A Soul Core, simply put, was a Soul Master's solid-state soul power. If a Soul Master's soul power reached the point of solidification during the Soul Saint stage, it was theoretically possible to condense one.

However, there had never been such a precedent before!

Whether Feng Tianyu could break the norm was something even Mu En could not confirm!

"As for that... I can only judge based on the density of your soul power once you reach the Soul Saint realm. It is far too early to discuss such things now!"

As he spoke, Mu En suddenly raised an eyebrow. His spiritual power had captured a soul beast in the forest: a wolf-type soul beast with two heads, covered in cyan fur, three meters in length, with well-developed muscles and a sturdy frame, exuding an incredibly wild aura.

"Tianyu, I have found a suitable soul beast for you!"

"In the clearing 800 meters ahead, there is a pack of Gale Demon Wolf, and the king of this pack happens to be a Gale Two-Headed Wolf!"

"The Gale Two-Headed Wolf is a variant of the Gale Demon Wolf. Your ancestor, Feng Xiaotian, possessed a Gale Two-Headed Wolf martial soul that mutated from a Gale Demon Wolf martial soul!"

"Because it has two heads, the intelligence of a Gale Two-Headed Wolf is in no way inferior to that of a human, and its mastery over the wind attribute is at the pinnacle, infinitely approaching the Ultimate Wind. It is one of the top-tier soul beasts!"

"A thousand-year Gale Two-Headed Wolf can challenge an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beast. You are truly lucky to find one on the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Let us hurry over before it runs away!"
