An Unconventional Pair of Twin Martial Souls

In the blink of an eye, nearly three months had passed. Xiaofei had focused on three main tasks lately. First, he still insisted on exercising every day. For a Soul Master, the body was the foundation of everything; all else depended on one's physical condition. The better his physique, the greater the benefits would be, whether in absorbing Soul Rings later on or in battle.

Second, since Xiaofei's Martial Soul was a Fire Phoenix, he often went to Tang Hao's forge. It had the richest Fire Element in the entire village. Although he had no Soul Power cultivation method, Xiaofei felt an unusual affinity there. Based on his understanding of the original story, he felt that this was probably the best Simulated Environment for a Fire Element cultivator.

Tang Hao knew Xiaofei as well. He knew Xiaofei was Old Jack's grandson and had awakened the Blazing Bird Martial Soul, so he did not drive him away. After all, Old Jack had helped both Tang Hao and Tang San to some extent.

Xiaofei occasionally helped out at the forge for a time, but his technique was extremely crude. To Tang Hao and Tang San, he was a complete amateur, and Tang Hao constantly looked down on him and basically ignored him. Privately, though, Tang Hao rather admired Xiaofei. At such a young age, the boy already understood how to use his surroundings to learn.

The final matter was understanding and confirming his Martial Souls. After studying them over this period, he had finally confirmed two things. Like Ma Hongjun, his Martial Soul was an Evil Fire Phoenix, and his evil fire was probably even harder to handle than Ma Hongjun's. This evil fire was somewhat like drugs from his previous life. Once he added Soul Rings and fully awakened it, it would likely become even more serious.

He really did have two Martial Souls. His other Martial Soul was his right hand, leaving Xiaofei utterly dumbfounded. A top-tier Body Martial Soul had only awakened as one hand. Could it be because he had watched too much porn in his previous life and awakened a Kirin Arm? His two Martial Souls seemed able to be used at the same time.

As for the benefits supposedly granted to all transmigrators, like systems and the like, he had called out for them continuously for months and had not gotten so much as a hair in response. It seemed he could only rely on himself to develop.

Xiaofei made several plans for his future. First, he absolutely had to obtain the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. It concerned whether he would be able to cultivate in the future and his subsequent development. Without the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, his limit would probably be no higher than Soul Emperor, and there might even be a risk of his body exploding.

His target academy after graduation would be Blazing Academy. That was the place best suited for developing a Fire Element Martial Soul. Then there was the question of his Martial Soul's development direction. The Kirin Arm naturally could not be developed.

The Fire Phoenix had already been registered with Spirit Hall, so he could probably only develop this Martial Soul. There were two main directions for its development, taking Marco and Ace from One Piece as references. One emphasized the Fire Element, while the other emphasized physical constitution and recovery. Both seemed quite good. One excelled at group attacks, while the other excelled at single-target attacks. He felt he could combine the strengths of both.

First, all of his Soul Rings had to possess the Fire Element, and he needed to get as close to the Phoenix Bloodline as possible. If that was unavailable, then Dragon Bloodline Soul Beasts or bloodlines with powerful recovery abilities would do, especially for his first few Soul Rings.

As for the Kirin Arm, later on he could simply keep attaching high-year Soul Rings to it. The arm was part of his body, so it could withstand any element.

Holy Soul Village had only one Work-Study Student slot, but that was not much of a problem for Old Jack. The surrounding villages had basically had no Martial Soul Awakenings, so he had borrowed a slot from neighboring Wang Soul Village.

The time for school to begin was finally approaching. Old Jack secretly gave Xiaofei three Gold Soul Coins. This should have been the money Old Jack had saved for Xiaofei over the years, originally meant for him to marry a wife. But now, going to school seemed more important than getting married.

Old Jack took Xiaofei and Tang San, and after they packed their belongings, the three of them gradually made their way toward Nuoding City. Xiaofei occasionally looked back at the entire village and at the busy villagers around it. He knew that from this day onward, he would be different. He had taken the biggest step of change in his life. When he returned again, he would definitely be a Soul Master, while those around him would still just be ordinary villagers.

Along the way, Tang San kept asking Old Jack questions, all of them basic questions about Soul Masters. To a reincarnator, such questions were common knowledge. Yet this also made Tang San's nervousness clear. Obviously, Tang San had social anxiety. Given Tang San's upbringing, Xiaofei felt that this was perfectly normal.

First, Tang San had been a Tang Sect Disciple in his previous life. The Tang Sect was a sect-like assassin organization whose core principles were poison and assassination. Assassins were often solitary and withdrawn, so Tang San's social interactions naturally leaned toward isolation.

Second was Tang Hao, that drunkard. Tang Hao had basically never educated Tang San since he was young. Tang San had done housework from an early age; it could be said that Tang San had been the one taking care of Tang Hao. Moreover, the two of them barely communicated in daily life, which had shaped Tang San's current withdrawn and socially anxious personality.

By noon, the three of them had finally arrived at the entrance of Nuoding Primary Academy.
