Innate Soul Power Level Twenty!

Because she knew Columbina's identity, Mavuika nodded upon hearing this conclusion without argument, instead steering the conversation toward another topic:

"I just attempted to condense my physical form within this world. The good news is that the idea is feasible; the bad news is that for some reason, I didn't succeed. I suspect it's either because my current state lacks sufficient strength, or perhaps the Traveler, who serves as our vessel, lacks enough soul power."

Hearing Mavuika say this, Xu Tianming froze, falling into deep thought.

Through his conversations with Mavuika and Columbina, Xu Tianming had already adopted the premise that they both identified him as the Traveler.

After all, he had indeed played Genshin Impact before transmigrating, and the protagonist he chose in the game was the male lead. After such an immersive experience, the plot of the game felt as if he had personally lived through it.

Based on this, both Mavuika and Columbina held deep trust in Xu Tianming, and he felt the same toward them.

Beyond the symbiotic relationship binding them to him, the character of the two women alone was enough to earn his trust.

Therefore, he would never refuse anything that could help them; after all, doing so would also benefit him to a certain extent:

"The problem of my insufficient soul power is easy to solve... If you lack power, how can you recover quickly?"

"That's simple. As the God of Fire, I only need to absorb sufficient sunlight to gradually strengthen my power. If I want to recover faster... I don't know if I can absorb battle intent in this world, but if I can, I imagine my power would grow much faster."

Mavuika's response made Xu Tianming's eyes light up.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that as expected of the Pyro Archon of Natlan, her way of growing stronger was truly outrageous.

"I just tried to communicate with the moon of this world. The moon told me that as long as the Traveler grows stronger, we can grow stronger along with you. Furthermore, after obtaining a certain... soul ring, the power and authority we possessed in Teyvat will also be restored."

Hearing Columbina's words, a look of surprise and joy instantly appeared in Xu Tianming's eyes.

"Obtaining a soul ring is simple. Wait for me, I'll go find a way to get one and run an experiment!"

With that, Xu Tianming's consciousness voluntarily withdrew from his Mental Sea of Consciousness and returned to reality.

Although his consciousness had only been away for a few minutes, the change in the emotions of those around him upon his return caught him off guard.

Strange, why do the expressions of these people suddenly look so... astonished?

Xu Tianming clearly remembered that before his consciousness sank into his Mental Sea, the people nearby were praising his twin martial souls, but they certainly weren't this shocked.

In such a short time, what exactly had happened?

Just as Xu Tianming was pondering, a minister suddenly spoke up, providing the answer to his confusion:

"In... Innate full soul power of level twenty! Heavens, am I dreaming?"

Once these words were spoken, it was as if a switch had been flipped; suddenly, the exclamations and praises of others began to pour into his ears one after another.

Case closed—it turned out these people were shocked by his innate level twenty soul power.

"Silence!"

However, just as the crowd's excitement reached a fever pitch, Xu Tianran suddenly interrupted them with a cold voice.

Hearing the Second Prince's command, the ministers scrambled to shut their mouths, terrified of provoking him.

Xu Tianran scanned the room with satisfaction, and seeing that no one dared to defy him, he nodded contentedly before issuing a cold order:

"Regarding my fourth brother's talent, from this day forward, it is classified as the highest secret of the Sun Moon Empire! Without royal permission, no one is to spread this! Violators will be treated as traitors! I will personally inform the Emperor of this matter later; if any of you have objections, speak now."

Xu Tianran appeared gentle on the surface, but when he was serious, the powerful ministers who dominated the court dared not touch his scales. One by one, they respectfully nodded and agreed, saying it was only right.

After the "unimportant people" had signed their non-disclosure agreements and left, Xu Tianran's face shifted back into a smile in the blink of an eye:

"Fourth brother, it seems you have the potential to become the first Limit Douluo in the history of our Sun Moon Empire! If that truly happens, I look forward to seeing the expressions on the faces of those guys at Shrek Academy. Haha!"

Taking in Xu Tianran's performance, Xu Tianming didn't say much, responding only with the mindset appropriate for a six-year-old:

"Second brother, let's not talk about that for now. Since I already have innate full soul power, when can I go into the Evil Demon Forest to obtain a soul ring?"

Xu Tianran was not suspicious of Xu Tianming's reaction. After a moment of contemplation, he looked toward Kong Deming, who stood to the side with a smile.

Before he could even speak, the wily and experienced Kong Deming had already read the meaning in Xu Tianran's eyes. He immediately patted Xu Tianming on the shoulder and spoke first:

"As for obtaining a soul ring, don't trouble the Second Prince. I'll accompany you on this trip myself, kid."

At these words, Xu Tianming was shocked once again.

According to his original estimate, having a Soul Saint accompany him for protection would have been enough; he hadn't expected his uncle to place such importance on him!

With the Chief Supplicant of the Sun Moon Empire accompanying him, even if he encountered the Evil Emperor, the master of the Evil Demon Forest, he could retreat unscathed!

"Really? Uncle is going to hunt for a soul ring with me? Great! When do we leave?"

Kong Deming smiled kindly at the question:

"Hehe, we can leave whenever you like. But before we obtain the soul ring, you must consider one thing: between your Sun Martial Soul and Silver Moon Martial Soul, which one do you intend to focus on in the early stages?"

Hearing this question, Xu Tianming fell into deep thought, while Mavuika and Columbina, who were listening to the conversation within his Mental Sea, couldn't help but feel a sudden, involuntary tension.

The reason was simple: whichever martial soul Xu Tianming chose to focus on, that was the one who would be the first to recover her authority and strength in this world.

Although it wouldn't be the end of the world to recover later, being in a strange world meant that having strength to rely on was essential for peace of mind.

However, even though they both hoped Xu Tianming would choose the martial soul they represented, they both tacitly remained silent.

Because they had both received help from Xu Tianming (the Traveler), they unconditionally trusted that his choices were always for a reason.

Xu Tianming found himself in a dilemma.

Choosing the Sun Martial Soul would restore Mavuika's power and authority, which would significantly increase his combat effectiveness in the early stages.

But if he chose the Silver Moon Martial Soul, it would restore Columbina's power and authority...

According to Xu Tianming's understanding of Columbina, her power should lean toward support, but if she could recover the full Authority of the Three Moons, her combat capability might end up being on par with Mavuika's.

Xu Tianming's indecisiveness had struck.
