The silver moonlight seemed to be a warning 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 the disciples of the Sky-Piercing Douluo and the future heirs of Shrek Academy. The only people who knew of their existence and looked upon them with such hostility had to be Qiangu Dongfeng of the Spirit Pagoda!
No!
That wasn't right!
When Yun Qianzhao pushed open the door, a realization dawned on the twins' faces simultaneously. Yun Qianyue looked back at Yun Qianzhao, two identical countenances appearing in her field of vision.
"The Holy Spirit Cult!"
The twins spoke in unison.
They did not know when the Holy Spirit Cult and Qiangu Dongfeng had begun their collaboration, but if they could orchestrate a terrorist attack like the bombing of Shrek City, the partnership must be deep-rooted and long-standing!
Perhaps by now, they were already deeply colluding!
"But, so what!"
Since they had decided to walk this path, they were facing danger at every single moment!
Yun Qianzhao walked to Yun Qianyue's side and reached out to clasp the hand she used to grasp the moonlight. Their voices, male and female, spoke in perfect unison: "Under the witness of the sun and moon, we shall eventually become kings!"
Whether it be the Spirit Pagoda, the Holy Spirit Cult, or even Shrek Academy, anyone who became a stumbling block on their path would face nothing but destruction!
Zhen Hua placed immense importance on the twins' arrival. Perhaps because Ya Li had instructed him in secret, he spent the days Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue stayed at the Blacksmith Association taking them to wander around Tiantou City.
It was only after they had visited every scenic spot in Tiantou City that he finally got to the point.
Zhen Hua performed a Heaven Forging once again. He handed a piece of Heaven-Forged alloy to Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue, asking them to attempt a secondary tempering!
Under the watchful eyes of Mu Ye and Zhen Hua, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue guided their own martial soul power to envelop the Heaven-Forged alloy, attempting the secondary tempering.
In the end, after Zhen Hua's inspection, the attributes of the Heaven-Forged alloy tempered by the twins' martial souls had improved by at least twenty percent!
Once the secondary tempering of the Heaven Forging was confirmed, the twins became absolute treasures in Zhen Hua's eyes! He carefully recorded the changes in the Heaven-Forged alloy and the fluctuations produced by the twins' martial souls during the tempering process.
The rest was the work of Zhen Hua, the Divine Craftsman.
"Leave this to Zhen Hua! Come on! Little ones, I've prepared a grand feast for you to reward your hard work!" Mu Ye waved his large hand and said cheerfully to Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue.
Zhen Hua added, "Mu Ye is the current Body Douluo; his strength is formidable. If you have any questions regarding your cultivation in the coming days, feel free to ask him."
Body Douluo?
Wasn't that the title reserved only for the sect master of the Body Sect?
Upon learning that the seemingly kind-hearted cafeteria uncle before them was actually a Title Douluo, and the sect master of the Body Sect at that, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue's expressions turned solemn as they cupped their hands in greeting: "Greetings, Your Excellency Body Douluo!"
Their attitude earned them much favor with Mu Ye, who chuckled, "Don't listen to this fellow's nonsense. 'Formidable strength'? It's nothing special! But if you have any questions, just come and ask me."
Although the cultivation method for a Body martial soul differed from ordinary ones, there was no strict distinction below the three-ring level.
With Mu Ye's status as a level 94 Title Douluo, guiding the two in their cultivation was no problem at all.
Zhen Hua went into seclusion to study the technology of secondary Heaven Forging, and during this time, the twins remained at the Blacksmith Association. Ya Li even sent a letter specifically telling them not to rush back.
Mu Ye prepared grand feasts for the two every day, changing the menu constantly. The ingredients he used were extremely precious and highly beneficial for strengthening their physiques and soul power!
Over this month, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue broke through by one level of soul power just from eating.
The Holy Spirit Cult was not idle either. After making contact with Qiangu Dongfeng, they began to gather all intelligence on Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue!
However, no matter what methods they employed, they could only discover that Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue were survivors of the evil soul master attack on a northern town over half a year ago; beyond that, there was nothing.
Family, parents, relatives—all records were blank.
The true Sun Moon Imperial Clan had begun to develop in the shadows as early as the era of the so-called Great Emperor Xu Yunhan. Ten thousand years had passed, and no one knew how many fake identities and organizations they had established to hide themselves.
Coupled with the turbulent era when the empire fell and the federation was established, many records had been destroyed.
Let alone others, even someone like Yun Qianzhao, who had been exiled, could not find the whereabouts of the Sun Moon Imperial Clan.
For the Holy Spirit Cult to try and investigate was nothing more than a pipe dream!
As the two prepared to depart and return to Shrek Academy, Zhen Hua concluded his research and sought them out.
After more than a month of study, Zhen Hua's doubts regarding the secondary Heaven Forging technology had not diminished; if anything, they had increased!
At first, Zhen Hua thought the ultimate attributes of Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue's martial souls had exerted some influence on the Heaven Forging, but as he delved deeper, he discovered that while the influence they exerted was similar to ultimate attributes, it was entirely different!
Because no matter what methods Zhen Hua used, he could not replicate the same effect.
"Zhen Hua, you aren't mistaken, are you?"
Mu Ye also furrowed his brows. It wasn't as if he hadn't seen the twins use their soul skills during this time; if Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue's martial souls weren't ultimate attributes, then what could they be?
"Do you think I've grown so old that I can't even distinguish these things?" Zhen Hua said helplessly to Mu Ye.
Hearing this, Mu Ye looked at Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue to the side, his brows locked tight: "If they aren't Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire attributes, then what could they be?"
Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue both shook their heads, indicating they did not know either.
Zhen Hua sighed and said to the two: "I will continue to study this situation, and you must also pay attention to the changes in your martial souls! For a soul master, being unable to master one's own martial soul is a terrifying thing!"
"Yes!" The two nodded.
Zhen Hua reported the situation to Shrek Academy, and after the twins returned to the academy, Ya Li immediately brought them to the Sea God Pavilion.
Inside the Sea God Pavilion, a group of elders sat waiting with solemn expressions.
Everything regarding the twins was of the utmost importance to Shrek Academy at this moment, especially a core issue like their martial soul attributes.
However, after examinations by Yun Ming, Long Yeyue, and other big shots, it was confirmed that the martial soul attributes of Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue were indeed the Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Ice they recognized, only far more powerful in intensity than any other Ultimate martial soul soul master they had ever seen!
While delighted, the people at Shrek also felt much more at ease; as long as it wasn't some irreparable defect, everything was fine.
"This Zhen Hua... he didn't even get it straight! Making us worry for nothing!"
Long Yeyue let out a sigh of relief, chiding Zhen Hua.
