Twin Martial Souls

In reality.

In front of the Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened, fixed intently on the sky screen at the mutated martial soul appearing behind that youth.

Emerald radiance, a proud swan...

There is no mistake, it is the Emerald Swan martial soul!

"The Heaven Dou Imperial Family's inherited Swan martial soul originally devolved from the Emerald Swan. For ten thousand years, not a single person in their imperial family has possessed the Emerald Swan martial soul. To think that this child, abandoned by the King of Balaque, actually awakened this martial soul. Gui Mei!"

"This subordinate is here!" Ghost Douluo, staring at the scene on the sky screen, also wore a look of shock. Hearing Bibi Dong's call, he immediately lowered his head to respond.

"Go to Nuoding City and bring this Xue Hen back to This Seat. With him, the title of the world's number one support-type martial soul will no longer belong to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but to our Martial Soul Hall." Bibi Dong commanded Gui Mei.

"Yes, Your Holiness." Gui Mei placed his right hand over his left chest and responded respectfully.

Following that, his entire body transformed into a mass of black mist and vanished from the spot.

However, he had barely left before he realized: the sky screen was showing events from fifteen years ago. Now that the boy named Xue Hen was likely no longer in Nuoding City, would he even be able to find him if he went there?

Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Emperor Xue Ye and the others also recognized the youth named Xue Hen and the martial soul behind him.

Emerald Swan.

The martial soul once possessed by the ancestors of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.

"Kundera, you idiot!" Emperor Xue Ye clenched his hands into fists, his face full of regret and fury. He cursed his cousin from thousands of miles away. To abandon his own child for a woman—what exactly is inside this guy's head?

Afterward, he hurriedly instructed Prince Xue Xing beside him: "Xue Xing, quickly, send men to that Nuo-something City in Fasinuo Province and bring the child Xue Hen back to Us. With him, our Heaven Dou Imperial Family can once again possess the Emerald Swan martial soul in the future!"

"Yes, Imperial Brother!" Prince Xue Xing also understood the importance of this matter and agreed immediately, preparing to set off for Fasinuo Province.

Who would have thought that just as he turned to take a step, a voice of disappointment drifted from the sky screen.

[Ma Xiunuo shook his head and sighed: "A beast martial soul, a green swan. Although it is not a trash martial soul, how much combat power can a swan have? It's barely better than a chicken or a duck."

Su Yuntao, standing to the side, nodded in agreement.]

Emperor Xue Ye: "..."

Prince Xue Xing: "..."

Bibi Dong in front of the Pope's Palace: "..."

At this moment, all the soul masters on the continent who recognized the Emerald Swan martial soul were stunned.

Are these two... clowns sent by a monkey? That is an Emerald Swan! An Emerald Swan martial soul with super-strong vitality and healing abilities, and you are evaluating its strength based on attack power?

Discussing the attack power of a support-type martial soul—is that something a human would do?

"These two idiots, could they have missed this genius? If so, they are truly sinners of our Martial Soul Hall!" Beside Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan couldn't help but mutter.

Bibi Dong's brows were locked tight; she shared this concern.

["Alright, children, let's test your Innate Soul Power." After sighing, Ma Xiunuo took out a crystal ball and spoke to the nine youths, including Xue Hen.

Following the order of their martial soul awakening, everyone took turns receiving the crystal ball to test their soul power.

No soul power.

No soul power.

Of the eight children before him, only the youth who awakened the wooden board martial soul possessed level one Innate Soul Power; the others had no soul power at all, which meant they could not become soul masters.

When it was Xue Hen's turn, he followed Ma Xiunuo's instructions, took the crystal ball with both hands, and relaxed his body. Suddenly, the crystal ball in his hands bloomed with a dazzling blue light.

In an instant, everyone present was stunned.

Especially Ma Xiunuo and Su Yuntao, because they knew what this light signified.

The two looked at each other, then spoke almost simultaneously: "Innate Full Soul Power?!"

Their tone was filled with shock.

Clearly, neither of them had ever imagined that a youth who awakened a low-tier martial soul like a 'green swan' could actually possess Innate Full Soul Power.]

Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Emperor Xue Ye widened his eyes, his breathing becoming extremely rapid.

Not only did he awaken the Emerald Swan martial soul possessed by their ancestors, but his Innate Soul Power was also at the full tenth level. This is truly Heaven blessing my Xue family!

"Quick, Xue Xing, hurry and bring this child back to Us!" He immediately turned and urged his brother, who had not yet departed.

"Yes, Imperial Brother." Prince Xue Xing responded hurriedly and then rushed off.

However, just like Ghost Douluo, he realized shortly after leaving that the scene was from fifteen years ago. Was that child still in that Nuo-something City now?

Shrek Academy.

Tang San temporarily stopped practicing his Mysterious Heaven Skill. He looked up at the vast sky screen, his brows slightly furrowed.

Grandpa Ma Xiunuo and Master Su Yuntao from the Nuoding City branch of the Martial Soul Hall—the martial soul that youth awakened didn't look like much, but his Innate Soul Power was level ten, just like his own. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

I wonder where Xue Hen is now; perhaps we shall meet in the future, Tang San thought to himself.

Afterward, he adjusted his thoughts and refocused his attention on the sky screen.

On the screen, the scene shifted abruptly, transitioning from day to deep night.

[In a small grove beside the Mercy Orphanage, in a corner ignored by all, the youth named Xue Hen stood alone. A flash of green light flickered over his body, and the Emerald Swan martial soul appeared behind him.

Then, he slowly raised his right hand and opened it.

"Whoosh!"

A golden light shot out from his palm. As he fully extended his hand, it transformed into a golden longsword, which he gripped firmly.

One side of the blade was engraved with the sun, moon, and stars, while the other was etched with the patterns of mountains, rivers, and vegetation.

The youth gazed at the longsword in his hand, his eyes narrowing into sharp slits. His tone was suppressed with intense excitement as he spoke: "To think that not only did I awaken the Emerald Swan martial soul of the Xuanyuan Clan ancestors, but I also possess Twin Martial Souls! Is this... the Royal Power Sword? It seems somewhat different; has it mutated?"]

Twin Martial Souls?! In reality, Tang San's brows furrowed even deeper.

Not only did he possess Innate Full Soul Power like himself, but he also held two martial souls just like him. This Xue Hen would undoubtedly be a formidable rival on his path to becoming a powerhouse!

Furthermore, that sword in his hand... the blade depicted the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and vegetation. How could it resemble the legendary sword of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan Clan from his past life?

No, that's impossible. How could a divine weapon from his past life appear in this Douluo Continent in the form of a martial soul? It must be a coincidence; it has to be a coincidence!

On the other side, Yu Xiaogang was also stunned. He had not expected that, apart from his disciple Tang San, there existed another genius in this world who possessed Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power.

The sky screen initially displayed events from fifteen years ago. By that calculation, he was eight years older than Tang San, making him twenty or twenty-one years old now. Excellent. If this child were still alive and lacked a teacher, he could take him as an apprentice.

With him and Tang San, Yu Xiaogang's theories would surely be proven!

Just as Yu Xiaogang was thinking this, the image on the sky screen began to change again.

[Xue Hen quietly left the Mercy Orphanage in Nuoding City under the cover of night. He first headed to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Through various methods—digging traps, ambushing, and using poison—he hunted down a four-hundred-year-old Armor-Piercing Golden Rhino. The horn of this soul beast could ignore the vast majority of physical defenses of soul beasts at the same cultivation level.

Although the youth was born into royalty and was still young, he seemed to possess a wealth of knowledge. He not only recognized these soul beasts and could distinguish their age, but he also understood their strengths and weaknesses.

He absorbed the soul ring of this Armor-Piercing Golden Rhino and attached it to the martial soul rumored to be a mutation of the Royal Power Sword. From that moment on, he possessed his first soul ring and soul skill.

The soul skill was named: Armor-Piercing!

Its effect: Unleashes an extremely sharp sword qi slash with a powerful piercing effect against soul power defenses!]
