Enfeoffing the Saint Son, Apprenticeship to Qian Daoliu.

Martial Soul City, Murong Mansion.

"Right, Huai'er, I seem to have forgotten to test your soul power yesterday. Come, let's test it now."

Murong Chayue took out a high-grade crystal ball. The gathered elders said nothing; although the appearance of these two Martial Souls guaranteed at least Innate Full Soul Power, still...

Murong Huai nodded, stepped forward, and placed his hand on the crystal ball. Suddenly, a dazzling light flickered, skipping the ten-level threshold and stopping firmly at the level of twenty.

Innate level twenty soul power!!!

An absolute god-tier Martial Soul!!

A super prodigy seen once in a millennium!

Qian Pocheng and the others exchanged glances and nodded. Qian Pocheng immediately decided:

"Everyone, as the Great Elder, I announce that from this day forward, Murong Huai is the Holy Son of Martial Soul Hall. We shall tilt the resources of Martial Soul Hall toward him and cultivate him with all our might!"

No one had any objections. A genius like this, once cultivated, would undoubtedly become a peak powerhouse capable of leading Martial Soul Hall to an even greater level.

"Right, Huai'er, which Martial Soul do you intend to cultivate first?"

"The first Martial Soul, Immortal Lord Nine-Arrival Sword!"

Murong Huai said without hesitation. On one hand, Austin Griffin was far more powerful than the Immortal Lord Nine-Arrival Sword; when he reached the later stages, he could directly attach a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, so he couldn't waste that potential.

On the other hand, he couldn't let the second Martial Soul grow too quickly. If it became uncontrollable, wouldn't that be the end of everything?

The crowd nodded upon hearing this; clearly, they thought the same. They understood the ferocity of a second Martial Soul all too well.

Qian Pocheng thought for a moment and said:

"Huai'er, your first Martial Soul is a sword. Since that is the case, we need to find you a sword arts teacher."

Qian Pocheng looked at Qian Daoliu and said:

"Daoliu, your swordsmanship is no less than mine. Why don't you take Huai'er as your disciple and teach him?"

Hearing Qian Pocheng's words, both Murong Huai and Murong Chayue felt a surge of joy. Qian Daoliu was the current Pope of Martial Soul Hall, possessing the strength of a peak level ninety-seven Douluo, and would soon step into level ninety-eight.

Moreover, the Qian family's Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel, used the Angel Holy Sword as its weapon, so the Qian family's swordsmanship was also the best on the continent. Furthermore, Qian Daoliu would eventually become one of the three peerless Douluos. Being able to take him as a master was definitely the best choice.

Qian Daoliu smiled and said:

"Naturally, that is no problem. Huai'er, are you willing to take this seat as your master?"

"I am willing!!" Murong Huai answered directly.

Qian Daoliu nodded with satisfaction.

"Good. From today on, you are my, Qian Daoliu's, personal disciple."

Murong Huai bowed to Qian Daoliu.

"Disciple greets Master!"

"Hahaha, good, good, good. Rise."

The other elders offered their congratulations one after another:

"Congratulations to the Pope for gaining such a talented disciple."

"Congratulations, congratulations!!"

"Old dog Murong, your luck is truly not bad!"

"Your mother's..."

Subsequently, the group left the Murong Mansion and returned to the Pope Palace and the Worship Hall.

Murong Huai suddenly thought of something.

"Right, Grandfather, where is Dong'er?"

Hearing this, Murong Chayue smiled and said:

"Rest assured, she is fine. She was affected by the pressure of your Martial Soul and is currently sleeping in the guest room."

Speaking of this Bibi Dong, Murong Chayue felt a bit of pity. Murong Huai started with both parents alive, while Bibi Dong had lost both parents and grew up in an orphanage under Martial Soul Hall.

"Right, Huai'er, you should spend time familiarizing yourself with your Martial Soul. Tomorrow, your dog of a father will personally take you and Dong'er to obtain your first soul ring."

As he spoke, Murong Chayue took a thick book out of his Soul Tool and handed it to Murong Huai.

"Huai'er, this book contains information on almost all the soul beasts on the continent today. Take it and flip through it. You are gifted and intelligent; try to see if you can find a suitable soul beast for yourself."

Murong Huai took it and stored it in his storage soul ring. As a descendant of the Murong family, storage Soul Tools were a small matter. When Murong Huai was three, Xiao Qingmei had already given him one with fifty cubic meters of storage space and ten cubic meters of living creature storage space.

"Alright, Grandfather."

Murong Huai skipped back to his courtyard.

Not long after Murong Huai left, a figure burst in. The person was none other than Murong Fuhai. The moment he saw his old man, he hurriedly asked:

"Dad, I heard Huai'er awakened Twin Martial Souls. Is it true?"

Seeing his own dog of a son, Murong Chayue kicked him directly.

"Your mother's..."

"Your son was born and you didn't show up, your mother's..."

"Your son awakened his martial soul and you didn't show up, your mother's..."

Murong Chayue continued his barrage for the duration of an incense stick before finally suppressing the fire in his heart.

"Hmph, Huai'er awakened Twin Martial Souls, the Immortal Lord Nine-Arrival Sword and Austin Griffin, with Innate Soul Power at level twenty. Satisfied now!"

Hearing his old man's words, Murong Fuhai froze in place. The foul mood from being berated by his father vanished into thin air, leaving only two phrases echoing in his mind.

Twin Martial Souls, Innate Soul Power level twenty...

Innate Soul Power level twenty, Twin Martial Souls...

As for what an Austin Griffin was, he didn't care in the slightest.

After a long while, Murong Fuhai waved his hand happily. He searched for words for a long time before shouting excitedly:

"Holy crap, awesome—"

Murong Chayue: ...

"Your mother's..., get the hell out of here! Remember to take Huai'er and Dong'er to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow to hunt for soul rings!"

Hearing this, Murong Fuhai was stunned. He glanced at his father and said in a low voice:

"Dad, the military camp tomorrow..."

"You..."

Seeing his father about to start spraying insults again, Murong Fuhai quickly changed his tune.

"Can do, no problem, leave it to me!!"

In the backyard, Murong Huai stood in the courtyard. With soul power flowing through his right hand, the Immortal Lord Nine-Arrival Sword appeared in his grasp. Murong Huai grabbed the hilt with one hand and the scabbard with the other, took a deep breath, and yanked it hard.

Hey, guess what?

—It didn't come out!!

Murong Huai was speechless. This Immortal Lord Nine-Arrival Sword was certainly handsome and definitely strong, but it was also truly long, just like a two-handed sword from ancient times. Although its size had been scaled down proportionally, his arms were too short to draw it!

Thus, Murong Huai thought of a method: he gripped the hilt with both hands and kicked the scabbard with his foot. The scabbard slid off, and the Immortal Lord Nine-Arrival Sword left its sheath, emitting a biting golden cold light.

Seeing this, the sword immortal dream in Murong Huai's heart began to stir. Although he didn't know any sword techniques, he knew the basic movements: thrust, hack, lift, parry... yadda yadda, he couldn't remember the rest.

Murong Huai tried to swing it around, but his swordsmanship was rusty and his movements were stiff.

"Ahem, it seems I really need to learn some swordsmanship."

Afterward, Murong Huai retracted his martial soul, sat on a stone bench, and took out the Soul Beast Record to flip through it. As an old fan of the Douluo series, he naturally knew how to match soul rings.

His Immortal Lord Nine-Arrival Sword possessed the attributes of Ultimate Gold and Space. However, in the early stages, he should focus on soul skills that boosted attack power; only in the later stages could he maximize the potential of low-tier soul rings.

"Fang Saber-toothed Tiger, possesses powerful attack strength, high speed, and a violent temperament..."

"Wind-Hissing Mantis, exceptional attack power, agile speed, wind attribute..."

"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, top-tier attack power on the continent, with speed and defense that are both incomparably tyrannical..."

"Martial Soul City Foot Bath Center, one-stop massage and sauna... guaranteed to let you...?"

What kind of thing got mixed in here???

There's a problem!
