The Ice Soul Dragon Abyss Spear and the Crape Myrtle Exquisite Pagoda

Ding-a-ling—

The bell rang, signaling the end of class before anyone realized it.

Students began to file out of the classroom one after another.

Given Qin Xuan's status, he could have left early long ago.

But since this was the homeroom teacher's first lecture, he felt it was only right to show the proper respect.

"Young Master Qin, let's go." Xia Hui walked over, arm-in-arm with Song Qingling, and said with a smile.

Qin Xuan gave a soft "mm" and led the two girls out of the classroom.

He had quite a favorable impression of Xia Hui.

The girl carried herself with an easygoing grace, and no matter the situation, a smile always seemed to linger on her pretty face.

She and her best friend, Song Qingling, seemed to have completely opposite personalities.

It was lunchtime, and the cafeteria was bustling with a constant stream of students.

Qin Xuan led the two girls directly into a private room on the third floor.

Before long, plates of delicious delicacies were brought to the table one after another.

"No need to be formal, let's eat and chat!" As he spoke, Qin Xuan used his chopsticks to pick up a slice of matsutake mushroom and began to eat.

Seeing this, Song Qingling and her friend finally felt comfortable enough to start eating.

It wasn't that they feared Qin Xuan; it was simply a matter of basic etiquette.

Qin Xuan had organized this meal, so naturally, he was the one paying.

If the host hadn't started eating yet, what kind of look would it be for the guests to dig in first?

The three of them ate in silence. Qin Xuan didn't rush to speak, though a thought stirred within him:

It seems that besides the Shrek Seven Devils, there are many buried talents on the Douluo Continent.

These two girls have excellent natural gifts. If I provide a little guidance, it might not be difficult for them to break through to become Titled Douluos in the future.

If they hadn't met me, they would have been lucky to reach the Soul Douluo realm at best.

"Young Master Qin, have you finished obtaining your soul ring?" Xia Hui asked, looking puzzled as she sipped her orange juice.

"Naturally." Qin Xuan nodded slightly, then said with a smile:

"You can just call me Brother Qin in private."

"Wow!" Xia Hui's eyes lit up, and she said with quite a bit of envy:

"Having innate full soul power at level twenty is just great! You can obtain a soul ring as soon as you awaken your martial soul!"

"Br... Brother Qin, what is the age of your first and second soul rings?" Song Qingling, who had been quiet until now, suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Qin Xuan pondered for a moment before standing up. Two purple soul rings rose in succession from beneath his feet.

"Two thousand-year soul rings!" The two girls were shocked, speaking in unison.

"Am I seeing things?" Xia Hui rubbed her large eyes and opened them again, only to see the two shimmering purple soul rings still there.

"The limit for a soul master absorbing their first soul ring is at most a hundred years. If you exceed that age, there is a risk of energy overload and the body exploding."

"Your first soul ring is actually already at the thousand-year level!"

Song Qingling sighed, thinking to herself: Successfully absorbing a thousand-year soul ring also shows from the side that the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger is far more powerful than a top-tier martial soul by several times!

Even the seven elders of Spirit Hall or the current Pope probably only had hundred-year yellow soul rings for their first ring!

Qin Xuan retracted his soul rings, looked at the two girls, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Hui, let me take a look at your martial souls as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two summoned their martial souls.

In the palm of Xia Hui's left hand, a three-story purple pagoda appeared.

Song Qingling held a silver spear over five feet long in her hand.

The spear radiated waves of cold air, and the dragon pattern carved into the shaft was so lifelike it seemed like a living creature.

Looking at the chilling silver spear, Qin Xuan's sword-like brows relaxed, and his face showed excitement.

This spear had similarities to She Long's Cyan-Purple Serpent Spear, but the quality of the martial soul appeared to be much higher.

It wasn't hard for him to deduce that this silver spear was also a mutated martial soul capable of beast-transformation!

Seeing Qin Xuan's burning gaze, Song Qingling spoke up:

"With Brother Qin's insight, you should have already guessed what is unique about my Ice Soul Dragon Abyss Spear."

"Could it be that this spear is the legendary mutated martial soul capable of beast-transformation?" Qin Xuan asked, feigning confusion.

"That's right!" Song Qingling replied in a low voice: "The Ice Soul Dragon Abyss Spear possesses both weapon and soul forms, combining the sharpness of a weapon martial soul with the physical advantages of a beast martial soul."

"In the state of the Avatar of the Martial Soul, the Ice Soul Dragon Abyss Spear can transform into a giant ice dragon, integrating both offense and defense, while doubling the power of soul skills!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan could not help but offer his praise:

"What a magnificent Ice Soul Dragon Abyss Spear; it is enough to rank in the top five of the continent's tool martial souls!"

Having said that, his gaze shifted to the pagoda in Xia Hui's hand, and he continued:

"Is this an auxiliary-type tool martial soul?"

"But I recall that the inherited martial soul of the Purple Heaven Sect should be the Purple Heaven Sword, right?"

"Brother Qin knows of my Purple Heaven Sect?" A look of surprise appeared on Xia Hui's face.

"The Purple Heaven Sect is a second-rate sect of the Star Luo Empire. Since I was born in Star Luo City, I have naturally heard a thing or two."

"Sigh..." Xia Hui suddenly let out a soft sigh, her eyes dimming, her words filled with unwillingness:

"I should have awakened the inherited martial soul, the Purple Heaven Sword, but because of my mother's pagoda martial soul, a mutation occurred."

Hearing this, Qin Xuan could not help but interject: "Could it be that your mother's martial soul was of a similar quality to the Purple Heaven Sword?"

"If the quality of the martial soul had been low, it would have long since been suppressed by the energy of the Purple Heaven Sword."

"As expected of Brother Qin, you are truly knowledgeable." Xia Hui continued to explain:

"It is precisely because the Purple Heaven Sword martial soul and the pagoda martial soul were of similar quality that my martial soul mutated into the 'Crape Myrtle Exquisite Pagoda'."

"The Crape Myrtle Exquisite Pagoda only has three types of amplification effects: soul power, speed, and strength."

"The quality of this martial soul is actually not low, but due to the characteristics of the martial soul, it can only be imbued with three soul rings."

"Perhaps the limit of my life will only be at the Soul Venerable level."

"After all, if a soul master cannot absorb soul rings, there is no way to break through to the next realm."

Speaking to this point, her eyes reddened slightly, and the smile vanished from her face, replaced by a sense of sorrow.

"Crape Myrtle Exquisite Pagoda..." Qin Xuan murmured, his sword-like brows furrowing as he thought to himself:

This seems like a low-spec version of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda!

But why does this pagoda make me feel that its martial soul quality is far higher than that of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda?

If Xia Hui were to consume the Silk Velvet Tulip, I wonder if it could allow the Crape Myrtle Exquisite Pagoda to break its shackles and evolve once more!

Thinking this, he spoke to comfort her:

"Xia Hui, you need not feel desperate about your future."

"In my view, this Crape Myrtle Exquisite Pagoda is not yet in its complete form; it should be capable of evolving again."

"Really?" Xia Hui's eyes lit up, and her spirits were restored.

"Of course," Qin Xuan replied with calm indifference.

Seeing this, Song Qingling said nothing, merely curling her lips into a meaningful smile.

Seeing Qin Xuan's confident demeanor, she surmised that this man likely had a way to help the Crape Myrtle Exquisite Pagoda break through its shackles.

Following this, the group ate and drank, and after chatting about some trivial matters, the meal came to an end.

Immediately after, Qin Xuan returned to his dormitory, summoned the Nine Nether Evil God Tiger, and began to refine the energy of those two thousand-year soul beasts!
