The moment the system prompt sounded, Yu Tianjue could instantly feel his body undergoing a sudden transformation.
Although his outward appearance had not changed much, Yu Tianjue could sense that his skin seemed to have become tougher, and his strength had increased significantly.
Immediately following this, a smear of nearly viscous blood-red color rose from the surface of his body, and then, a blood-red longsword appeared in Yu Tianjue's hand. The longsword seemed like a living thing, radiating a cold, murderous intent.
God-tier Martial Soul, Asura Demon Sword.
The instant the Asura Demon Sword appeared in his hand, Yu Tianjue caught a glimpse of a red light that flashed and vanished.
To be precise, that red light did not just flash and vanish; it submerged directly into his body. His internal soul power surged along with this red light—seventeenth level, eighteenth level, nineteenth level... In an instant, it broke through the twentieth level, only stopping when his soul power cultivation reached the twenty-sixth level.
So this was... the ten levels of soul power gifted by the Asura God?
A God-tier Martial Soul was truly terrifying!
One had to realize that, excluding the Asura Demon Sword, there were only two God-tier Martial Souls in the entirety of the first Douluo Continent: one was the Six-Winged Angel of the Qian family in Spirit Hall, and the other was the Sea God Martial Soul of the Sea God Island High Priest, Bo Saixi.
Now, he could finally experience the joy of having a God-tier Martial Soul.
Yu Tianjue lowered his head slightly, subconsciously looking at the Asura Demon Sword in his hand, and a sudden, inexplicable realization arose in his heart.
It was as if... holding this sword, there was nothing in the world that could stop him!
If he could drain all the soul power in his body to strike a single blow, there would be nothing that could not be cut!
Was this... Pale Blade Instant?
Yu Tianjue couldn't help but click his tongue. Of course, he hadn't forgotten the hypothesis he formed before confirming the reward—now that he possessed the Asura Demon Sword, could he utilize the unique nature of an externalized Martial Soul to wield two Martial Souls simultaneously?
He was currently holding the Asura Demon Sword, so it was the perfect time to test it.
With a thought, Yu Tianjue immediately attempted to release Xiao Hei.
Regrettably, no matter how hard he tried, Xiao Hei did not appear; only the Asura Demon Sword continued to flicker with a faint, blood-red halo.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Yu Tianjue's eyes.
It seemed that the inability to use two Martial Souls simultaneously was a fundamental piece of underlying code. Even though one of his Martial Souls was one of the only two externalized beast Martial Souls, it still couldn't shake that underlying code.
Since that was the case... he would just hide the Asura Demon Sword for now.
He would focus on cultivating Xiao Hei, the Martial Soul that seemed capable of continued evolution, and wait until later to apply soul rings to the Asura Demon Sword and trigger the God trials.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianjue retracted the Asura Demon Sword, a smile appearing on his face involuntarily.
He was only seven years old and already possessed twenty-six levels of soul power. If Yu Tianheng found out about this, he would probably be jumping with frustration. After all, a year had passed, and Yu Tianheng had only just managed to break through the tenth level and become a Spirit Master not long ago, while he was already a twenty-six-level Great Spirit Master. The gap was not small.
Yu Tianjue couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Regardless, Yu Tianheng was his nominal twin brother. With such a sluggish cultivation speed, he would likely be a laughingstock if word got out.
Was there any way to increase Yu Tianheng's cultivation speed?
Even if he couldn't catch up to him, he should at least be elevated to the category of a top-tier genius, right?
There was, brother.
Yu Tianjue quickly thought of a solution—the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Although this "Mandarin Duck Pot" was becoming a must-visit spot on the Douluo Continent, one had to admit that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the immortal herbs within it were truly effective.
Since Yu Tianheng and Dai Mubai both possessed assault-type beast Martial Souls, there was no reason why the Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum that suited Dai Mubai wouldn't suit Yu Tianheng.
The Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma given to Yu Xiaogang in the original work was actually better suited for his grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen. Since this herb could help Yu Xiaogang break through the bottleneck that had plagued him for years to reach the thirtieth level, it should be very helpful for Yu Yuanzhen in his attempt to reach the ninety-fifth level.
As for himself...
Taking the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Delicate together would not only temper his body, creating an immunity to extreme cold and heat, but also strengthen his physical foundation, which would be of great help for absorbing higher-level soul rings in the future. Furthermore, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass was the best supplement for him, given his Ultimate Ice attribute.
Besides that... the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid was also within his considerations.
Although his soul power level hadn't increased slowly over the past year, and had reached the twenty-sixth level in one go after obtaining the Asura Demon Sword, Martial Souls with ultimate attributes cultivated extremely slowly; only upon reaching the Title Douluo stage would the cultivation speed return to normal.
The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid had gentle medicinal properties that consolidated one's foundation and expelled impurities from the body. After Oscar took it, it made up for the slow cultivation speed of food-type Spirit Masters, significantly increasing his soul power cultivation speed.
Since the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid could accelerate the cultivation speed of a food-type Spirit Master, a Spirit Master with ultimate attributes should also be able to gain benefits.
As for the other immortal herbs, although he might not have much use for them, he had absolutely no intention of leaving them for Tang San.
As for how to obtain these herbs under Dugu Bo's watch... the original work provided a standard solution: resolve the toxins in Dugu Bo's body by forcing them into his soul bones, which would also solve the problem that might plague Dugu Yan for the rest of her life.
It would be difficult to convince Dugu Bo on his own; a Title Douluo of that stature probably wouldn't believe the words of a child.
But... who told him to be born into such a good family?
The Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the ninety-fourth-level Title Douluo Yu Yuanzhen—these two identities were enough for Dugu Bo to take him seriously, weren't they?
By the way, Dugu Yan was his future sister-in-law... did this count as him letting Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan meet ahead of schedule?
Thinking of this, Yu Tianjue had a plan.
However, what Yu Tianjue didn't know was that his every move was being observed by the Ice Empress, who was hidden in the shadows, silently watching over and protecting him.
That longsword radiating cold, murderous intent...
A sense of doubt arose in the Ice Empress's heart.
As a super-beast approaching four hundred thousand years of age, she had actually felt an extremely strong threat from that sword!
Although she was a soul beast and didn't know much about human Martial Souls, she could still see the extraordinary nature of that longsword... Compared to this, the other human Martial Souls she had seen were simply incomparable!
But why was Tianjue's Martial Soul so different from the one in her dreams, and why did he now have an additional Martial Soul?
The Ice Empress found that she was becoming increasingly unable to see through Yu Tianjue.
