Silver Moon's radiance seemed to warn her that danger was closing in.
"Is it the Spirit Pagoda?"
Yun Qianyue's silver eyes flickered as she gripped the moonlight.
On the surface, they were Sky-Piercing Douluo's disciples and the future successors of Shrek Academy. The only people who knew they existed and disliked them had to be Qiangu Dongfeng of the Spirit Pagoda!
No!
That wasn't right!
When Yun Qianzhao pushed open the door, a look of understanding appeared on both twins' faces. Yun Qianyue turned to look at Yun Qianyue, and two identical faces came into view.
"The Holy Spirit Cult!"
The twins spoke in unison.
They didn't know when the Holy Spirit Cult and Qiangu Dongfeng had begun working together, but since they could plan a terrifying attack like the bombing of Shrek City, their cooperation had to be deep and longstanding!
Perhaps they had been in league with each other for a long time already!
"But so what!"
Since they had chosen this path, they would be facing danger every moment!
Yun Qianzhao stepped beside Yun Qianyue and reached out to take the hand she had wrapped around the moonlight. In perfect unison, a male and a female voice rang out: "Under the witness of Sun Moon, we shall become kings!"
Whether it was the Spirit Pagoda, the Holy Spirit Cult, or Shrek Academy, anyone who stood in their way would be destroyed!
Zhen Hua took the twins' arrival extremely seriously. Perhaps Ya Li had spoken to him privately; during the days Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue spent at the Blacksmith Association, he took them sightseeing all over Heaven Dou City.
Only after they had visited every scenic spot in the city did they get down to business.
Zhen Hua performed Heavenly Forging once more. He handed a piece of Heavenly Forging alloy to Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue, asking them to try tempering it a second time!
Under Mu Ye and Zhen Hua's watchful eyes, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue guided the power of their Martial Souls around the Heavenly Forging alloy and attempted to temper it a second time.
Afterward, Zhen Hua examined it and found that the Heavenly Forging alloy tempered by the twins' Martial Souls had improved in attributes by at least twenty percent!
Now that the improvement from secondary Heavenly Forging had been confirmed once more, the twins were nothing short of priceless treasures in Zhen Hua's eyes! He carefully recorded the changes in the Heavenly Forging alloy, along with the fluctuations produced by the twins' Martial Souls during the tempering.
What came next was the work of Zhen Hua, the Divine Craftsman.
"Leave this to Zhen Hua! Come on, little ones. I've prepared a feast for you. Let's give you a proper treat!" Mu Ye waved a big hand and said cheerfully to Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue.
Zhen Hua added, "Mu Ye is the current Body Douluo, and he's powerful. If you have any questions about cultivation over the next few days, you can ask him."
Body Douluo?
Wasn't that a title reserved for the sect master of the Body Sect?
Learning that this amiable-looking cafeteria uncle was a Titled Douluo—and the sect master of the Body Sect, no less—Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue straightened up and greeted him with cupped hands. "Greetings, Your Excellency Body Douluo!"
Their respectful attitude won Mu Ye's favor. He chuckled, "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense. Powerful? I'm just so-so! But if you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
Although cultivating a Body Martial Soul was different from cultivating an ordinary Martial Soul, there wasn't much difference below the third ring.
With Mu Ye's cultivation at the ninety-fourth level, it wouldn't be a problem for him to guide the two in their cultivation.
Zhen Hua shut himself away to study the technique of secondary Heavenly Forging. In the meantime, the twins stayed at the Blacksmith Association. Ya Li even sent them a letter specifically telling them not to hurry back.
Every day, Mu Ye cooked up a different feast for the two. The ingredients he used were extraordinarily precious and greatly beneficial for improving their physical constitutions and Soul Power!
Over the course of that month, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue had each advanced a level in Soul Power just by eating.
The Holy Spirit Cult hadn't been idle either. After meeting with Qiangu Dongfeng, they began gathering every scrap of information they could find about Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue!
But no matter what methods they used, all they could discover was that Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue were survivors of the Evil Soul Master attack on a northern border town half a year ago. They couldn't find anything else.
Their family, parents, relatives—every record was blank.
The true Sun Moon Imperial Clan had begun retreating into the shadows back in the era of the so-called Emperor Xu Yunhan. Ten thousand years had passed since then, and no one knew how many false identities and organizations they had created to conceal themselves.
On top of that, the upheaval when the empire fell and the Federation was established had destroyed countless records.
Not only could other people not find the Sun Moon Imperial Clan; even someone like Yun Qianzhao, who had been exiled, couldn't track them down.
For the Holy Spirit Cult to investigate them was nothing short of a fool's dream!
Just as the two were preparing to set off back to Shrek Academy, Zhen Hua finished his research and came to find them.
After more than a month of study, Zhen Hua had more questions about the technique of secondary Heavenly Forging than when he started, not fewer!
At first, Zhen Hua had thought that the Ultimate Attributes of Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue's Martial Souls had somehow affected the Heavenly Forging. But when he looked into it more deeply, he discovered that although the effect the two had on the Heavenly Forging was somewhat similar to that of Ultimate Attributes, it was entirely different!
No matter what method Zhen Hua tried, he couldn't reproduce a similar effect.
"Zhen Hua, are you sure you didn't get it wrong?"
Mu Ye furrowed his brows too. He'd seen the twins use Soul Skills plenty of times during this past month. If Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue's Martial Souls didn't have Ultimate Attributes, what else could they be?
"Do you think I'm so old I can't tell the difference anymore?" Zhen Hua said helplessly to Mu Ye.
At that, Mu Ye looked over at Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue, his brow deeply furrowed. "If they aren't Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire, then what are they?"
Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know either.
Zhen Hua sighed and said to them, "I'll keep studying this. You should also pay close attention to any changes in your Martial Souls! For a Soul Master, being unable to control their own Martial Soul is terrifying!"
"Yes!" They nodded.
Zhen Hua reported the matter to Shrek Academy. Once the twins returned, Ya Li immediately took them to the Sea God Pavilion.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, a group of elders sat waiting, their expressions grave.
Everything about the twins was of the utmost importance to Shrek Academy at present, especially a core matter like their Martial Soul attributes.
However, after Yun Ming, Long Yeyue, and the other powerful figures examined them, they confirmed that Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue's Martial Souls had the same Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice attributes as they understood them. It was just that their attributes were stronger than those of any Ultimate Martial Soul users they had ever seen!
The people of Shrek were delighted, but also relieved. As long as it wasn't some irreparable flaw, that was all that mattered.
"That Zhen Hua... He didn't even figure it out! He had us scared half to death!"
Long Yeyue breathed a sigh of relief and blamed Zhen Hua.
