"Twin Martial Souls! They really are Twin Martial Souls! Hahaha! My nephew has the potential to become a Titled Douluo!"
Prince Xue Xing threw back his head in laughter, his gaze fixed tightly on Lin Ya before him. The wild joy and gratification in his eyes seemed ready to spill over.
"Good! Wonderful! This is absolutely wonderful!"
"Uncle, is your vocabulary for praise really this limited?" Lin Ya looked helplessly at his overexcited elder.
They were only Twin Martial Souls. In the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later, they would no longer be anything particularly rare. Was there really any need to get this excited?
Of course, his own heart was not entirely calm either.
At the instant his Martial Soul awakened, Lin Ya had already understood its true name—Outcast.
It was neither a conventional Beast Martial Soul nor a Tool Martial Soul, but something closer to a body Martial Soul.
The moment it awakened, he himself became an Outcast.
The Golden Light Mantra that had protected his body just now was an innate ability of his Martial Soul. He could clearly sense that the potential of this Outcast Martial Soul went far beyond a single Golden Light Mantra. More mysteries could only be fully unlocked after he absorbed Soul Rings.
Lin Ya took a deep breath, and the brilliant golden light around him slowly drew back before finally vanishing without a trace.
Yet Prince Xue Xing remained immersed in overwhelming shock, unable to recover for a long while.
In his eyes, Lin Ya was no longer an ordinary junior, but the sole hope for the future rise of the Heaven Dou Empire!
For a long time, the Heaven Dou Empire had remained at the bottom among the three great powers of the Douluo Continent. In such a vast empire, the only Titled Douluo it could present was Dugu Bo, and even then, they had to constantly watch his mood.
It was stifling. Fucking stifling.
But now, everything would change.
With the talent of Twin Martial Souls, as long as nothing happened along the way, reaching Rank 95 as a Titled Douluo was practically guaranteed!
The bottleneck from Rank 89 to Rank 90 could be forcibly broken through using the Soul Rings of the second Martial Soul.
Rank 95! Even Qian Xunji, the Pope of Spirit Hall, might not be able to defeat him with certainty! And with the enhancement of Twin Martial Souls layered on top, he would have the strength to fight even a Rank 97 Super Douluo!
Xue Xing looked at Lin Ya as though he were a priceless treasure.
"Brother, sending Xiaoya out really was the wisest decision you made in your life!"
Xue Xing could practically foresee it: if word got out that Lin Ya possessed Twin Martial Souls, the Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall would never let him go!
When that time came, even the Heaven Dou Empire might not be able to protect him. After all... the death of his second nephew had been rather suspicious.
Thinking of this, Xue Xing grew even more anxious. "Xiaoya, remember this! No matter what happens, you must not reveal your White Swan Martial Soul! And do not add any Soul Rings to it either, understand?"
"Don't worry, Uncle. I know what I'm doing." Lin Ya nodded solemnly.
Of course, he understood what Xue Xing was worried about, and he truly had no plans to reveal his White Swan Martial Soul.
What use was a White Swan Martial Soul? Could it possibly be better than his own Outcast Martial Soul?
As for using the White Swan Martial Soul during the early stages as a transition before switching to his Outcast Martial Soul later on...
There was a saying in the gaming world: buy early and enjoy early; buy late and get a discount.
Lin Ya was someone who knew how to enjoy life. He had no interest whatsoever in suffering through the early stages just so he could enjoy himself later.
So, he had decided to cultivate his Outcast Martial Soul first.
Xue Xing tried hard to calm his excited heart. Then he slapped his forehead and finally said:
"Right, we still haven't tested your innate Soul Power. Xiaoya, don't underestimate innate Soul Power. This is extremely important. To a great extent, the level of one's innate Soul Power is enough to determine the upper limit of one's future achievements."
Among the Titled Douluo Prince Xue Xing knew of, even the weakest, the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, had innate Soul Power at Rank 7 with his Jade Phosphor Serpent.
But Lin Ya had the White Swan Martial Soul, so his innate Soul Power should be at least Rank 7, right?
For the first time, Prince Xue Xing felt that the White Swan Martial Soul passed down through his family had held his nephew back.
He handed a lustrous blue crystal testing orb to Lin Ya. "Come, place your hand on it."
Lin Ya raised his hand as instructed, his fingertips lightly touching the surface of the crystal orb.
The instant he made contact, a gentle suction force suddenly emerged, wildly drawing out the Soul Power within him that had not yet fully stabilized.
Buzz—!
A dazzling blue radiance erupted at once, illuminating the entire secret chamber as brightly as day!
In the history of Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent, such an extreme radiance could mean only one thing!
"Full Innate Soul Power!!"
Although innate Soul Power only went up to Rank 10, it often determined a person's future achievements!
Xue Xing had once heard of something: back then, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had produced a useless man with innate Soul Power of 0.5.
That fellow had never broken through Rank 29 in his entire life. Ordinarily, someone like that would never have been remembered by Xue Xing, but somehow, that man had obtained a whole pile of theories and even earned himself the title of Grandmaster, causing quite a stir for a time.
As for whether the title of Grandmaster was actually worth much...
Xue Xing thought it was average, at best.
At this moment, Xue Xing could not resist pulling Lin Ya into his arms. He excitedly grasped his small hand and said:
"Good! Good! This is truly wonderful!"
"So, Uncle, you should read more books in your spare time! Don't just use the same line whenever you praise someone!" Lin Ya looked at Xue Xing helplessly.
Wasn't it common knowledge that twin martial souls meant innate full soul power?
Well, apparently not necessarily. Among the known twin martial souls in Douluo Continent, it seemed that no one had ever mentioned how many possessed innate full soul power.
Still, twin martial souls had to be rarer than innate full soul power, right?
Xue Xing calmed his restless emotions once more, then patted his chest with absolute confidence.
"Let's go! Lin Ya! Your uncle will take you to obtain your first soul ring right now!"
He could not wait. Xue Xing could not wait even a second longer!
If he remembered correctly, there was a Soul Hunting Forest near Nuoding Province. Although the soul beasts inside generally were not very old, there were still quite a few thousand-year soul beasts.
Wouldn't getting a hundred-year soul ring for his precious nephew be effortless?
As for the difficulty of hunting a soul ring?
Could anything possibly go wrong with him, a dignified Soul Emperor, leading the way?
Besides, he had not come alone. Among the guards at the entrance, there was one Soul Sage, two Soul Emperors, and four Soul Kings.
One Soul Sage, three Soul Emperors, and four Soul Kings hunting a soul ring for a level-ten Soul Master?
That lineup... seemed a little extravagant.
Forget it, it did not matter. This was his nephew. What was wrong with having a stronger lineup? When they hunted for his second soul ring, he would drag a Soul Douluo over from Heaven Dou Academy no matter what!
"Hunting a soul ring?" Lin Ya's eyes instantly lit up.
After transmigrating to Douluo Continent, who could resist the temptation of soul rings merging with martial souls?
Especially after witnessing the bizarre and powerful Outcast martial soul, he had long been impatient to unlock his true power.
As for Nuoding Academy?
Forget it. Xiao Chenyu, a sixth-year level-eleven nobody who could only have a ten-year soul ring, could dominate the campus. What could he possibly learn in a place like that?
When the time came, he could just enroll at the academy, sign in, then slack off while cultivating in peace. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
With that thought, Lin Ya grabbed Xue Xing's hand tightly, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Good uncle! Let's go now! I can't wait any longer!"
