Martial Soul Flaw, Chen Xin Takes a Disciple

Ning Fengzhi's tone was agitated: "And it is a martial soul fusion skill led by a sword-type martial soul."

The great hall fell into a deathly silence.

Twin martial souls, innate full soul power, a martial soul fusion skill.

What kind of concept was that?

How many people with innate full soul power had appeared throughout the entire continent? And how many twin martial soul users had there been?

Now, to have them all appear in the same person—he was simply a darling favored by the heavens.

"Fengzhi, are you telling the truth?" Gu Rong's face was full of disbelief, his voice slightly off-key.

"It is absolutely true. His first martial soul is named the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, a three-foot-long blade with golden lightning patterns coiling around the body. The second is named the Profound Array Disk, which seems to be the core object of an ancient, long-lost array technique, capable of instantly condensing arrays."

Gu Rong and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, both filled with shock.

Being able to awaken with innate full soul power signified the high quality of one's martial souls; it was likely that both of Han Yu's martial souls belonged to the top tier.

As Title Douluos, they naturally knew that every level gained after reaching level ninety was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Only those soul masters with exceptionally powerful martial souls or heaven-defying comprehension could continue to advance.

"Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword..." Chen Xin muttered to himself, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

He had pursued the path of the sword his entire life and had seen every kind of blade, yet this was the first time he had heard of a sword martial soul carrying golden lightning.

Seeing that the timing was right, Ning Fengzhi interjected: "But Han Yu's twin martial souls have a certain flaw."

"Hm? What kind of flaw?" Gu Rong frowned slightly.

"Han Yu told me that both of his martial souls must absorb soul rings simultaneously in order to continue improving."

"Absorb simultaneously?" Gu Rong's brows twisted into a knot, his tone tinged with irritation.

"Then what kind of twin martial soul is this? If he can't cultivate one to the Title Douluo realm first to attach higher-aged rings to the other, what use is it besides having an extra soul?"

Gu Rong was a straightforward man who didn't mince words, dumping all his frustration out at once.

Ning Fengzhi sighed softly: "Uncle Gu, even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has the flaw of being unable to break through to level eighty. Han Yu is still young; he wouldn't lie about such a major matter."

"This... sigh..."

"According to what you and the child have said, his two martial souls should be able to assist each other, achieving an effect where one plus one is greater than two," Chen Xin said confidently, his eyes bright and piercing.

He had managed to deduce the secret of Han Yu's two martial souls from just a few fragments of information.

"Assist each other?"

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong cast questioning looks; it was the first time they had heard such a theory.

"Martial souls have strengths and weaknesses, and each has its own area of expertise. For example, my Seven Kill Sword is stronger in attack than Old Gu's Bone Dragon, but in the realm of defense, I am inferior to him," Chen Xin explained patiently.

Chen Xin paused, his eyes bright and his tone carrying a hint of delight.

"A martial soul fusion skill can only be achieved when two martial souls have an extremely high degree of compatibility. Furthermore, it must be led by one martial soul while the other assists it in unleashing greater power. I suspect Han Yu's martial souls have such high compatibility that they are inseparable, and are instead restricted by the need to keep both souls on par."

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong nodded; this explanation was plausible.

There was indeed a concept of compatibility levels in martial soul fusion skills. The higher the compatibility, the more powerful the fusion skill, the shorter the time limit for activation, and the less soul power required to drive it.

"So, this is a good thing?" A strange smile appeared on Gu Rong's face.

"Why don't we go and see for ourselves?" Chen Xin seemed to have taken an interest, no longer appearing as taciturn as before.

After leaving the main hall, the three of them hurried toward the Awakening Hall without delay.

Ning Fengzhi led them to the awakening platform, where several sword marks still remained.

When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect built the Awakening Hall, they used the same materials as the Soul Master Tournament arena, without cutting any corners.

It was hard to imagine that these marks were caused by a child who had just awakened his martial soul.

Chen Xin squatted down and touched a sword mark with his slender fingers. Suddenly, several tiny golden electric arcs shot out, crawling onto his fingertips. With his formidable physical constitution, he had no need to worry, so he dropped his defenses to carefully sense the intensity of the arcs.

"What miraculous golden lightning; it contains an extremely domineering aura," Chen Xin said, finding it hard to believe.

These sword marks were already comparable to the level of a beginner condensing sword intent. The martial soul called the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword might be even more powerful than he had imagined. If it could achieve this much just by the lightning it carried, what would happen if he cultivated sword intent? What if he reached the pinnacle of the sword path?

While Chen Xin was lost in thought, Gu Rong also leaned over and squatted down. Being extremely familiar with spatial power, he keenly sensed the residual array aura in the air.

These energy clusters, which appeared scattered in several locations, were all equivalent to spatial anchors, forcibly drawing in the soul power from the air and circulating it according to a certain pattern.

Gu Rong's mouth opened slightly, his face full of shock, his voice trembling: "Manipulating the soul power in the air—that is something only a Title Douluo-level expert can do. How did this kid manage it?"

The most significant hallmark of becoming a Title Douluo was the ability to walk through the void, which was actually a form of precise control over external soul power.

Some gifted soul masters would perceive this technique in advance when reaching the Soul Saint level, and through extremely high comprehension, cleverly apply it to their martial souls, producing an extremely powerful ability that could crush those of the same rank.

This was the origin of domains.

The reason Gu Rong was so shocked was that it was highly likely Han Yu already possessed the prototype of a domain. As long as it was slightly refined, he could possess a complete domain. At such a young age, it was truly inconceivable.

Listening to the two Title Douluos sighing one after another, Ning Fengzhi could not hide the smile on his face.

"I spoke too soon. How could normal twin martial souls compare to these two of Han Yu's?" Gu Rong laughed, clapped his hands, and stood up, his face filled with disbelief.

Ning Fengzhi nodded. A thought occurred to him, and remembering the promise he had made to Han Yu, he prepared to speak to the focused Chen Xin.

"I want to take an apprentice." Chen Xin rose abruptly, staring straight at Ning Fengzhi.

"Very well. I have already consulted Han Yu on this matter." Ning Fengzhi smiled knowingly, his tone tinged with amusement.

It was the first time he had ever seen Uncle Sword take the initiative to ask for something.

Off to the side, Gu Rong tilted his head, eyeing Chen Xin as if he were a stranger, before the corners of his mouth curled up as an interesting thought took root in his mind.

"Sigh, I'm getting old. I don't know what's come over me today, but I've suddenly taken a fancy to the idea of taking an apprentice myself."

Though his words were laced with mockery and playfulness, he was genuinely considering taking Han Yu as his disciple. It was clear that Han Yu's second martial soul was related to the power of space, which aligned perfectly with his own spatial inheritance.

At worst, he would just have Han Yu apprentice under both of them; he wouldn't mind that in the slightest.
