Twin Martial Souls! Ling Luocheng's Shock

"This Ultimate Ice Martial Soul that came from who knows where affected me."

"Later on, I could clearly feel that it was changing my Martial Soul!"

"And not only that."

"Besides changing my Martial Soul, I seemed to have gained a new ability."

As Ling Feng spoke, he used his Spirit Eyes to look at Ling Luocheng.

Of course, he craftily used the second soul skill, Simulation, to temporarily make the two soul rings on his body transparent.

He could blame the changes to his Martial Soul on his body Martial Soul.

But soul rings couldn't possibly appear out of nowhere, could they?

As for the matter of soul rings being attached to his Spirit Eyes...

He could only keep it hidden for now and avoid using the Spirit Eyes' abilities as much as possible.

"Eyes? A body Martial Soul?!"

When Ling Luocheng saw Ling Feng's eyes light up, she immediately recognized that he was using his Martial Soul.

"But... wait! You have another eye Martial Soul now. Doesn't that mean..."

Ling Luocheng stared at Ling Feng in shock before the realization hit her. "Twin Martial Souls?!"

Seeing Ling Luocheng look as though her entire worldview had collapsed, Ling Feng did not respond to her words, partly because he had lied to her.

"Oh heavens, how could something like this happen... No, I need to calm down!"

It was no wonder Ling Luocheng found it impossible to accept.

Anyone would probably have struggled to accept it right away.

Everything had been perfectly normal that morning, yet while she had merely been summoned by Yan Shaozhe to help Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire—

Ling Feng's Martial Soul had changed from an Ice Scorpion into twin Martial Souls: an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul and a body Martial Soul!

Why couldn't something like this have happened to her?!

"Perhaps you had twin Martial Souls from the very beginning. It's just that when they first awakened, your body couldn't accommodate such powerful abilities at the same time."

"So your body Martial Soul clashed with and mutually suppressed part of the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul's power, which was why the Martial Soul you displayed before had only been at the level of an ordinary Ice Scorpion."

"And now that your body has become strong enough to house both of these powerful Martial Souls at once, this powerful spiritual energy accidentally happened to help your body Martial Soul complete its awakening?"

"The awakening of the body Martial Soul then allowed the abilities of the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, which had originally been suppressed, to return to you..."

Ling Luocheng tried to unravel the mystery surrounding Ling Feng, but no matter how she reasoned it out, something always seemed not to add up.

How could she possibly understand the power of the system?

"The world is vast, and there are all manner of strange things in it."

"Even the academy has very few records on ultimate Martial Souls."

"And because of the Body Sect, there are even fewer records of body Martial Souls than ultimate Martial Souls."

"Even the elders of the Sea God Pavilion would probably be unable to explain something like this..."

Ling Luocheng's excessive concern stemmed only from her fear that something might happen to Ling Feng.

At least for now, the changes in Ling Feng all appeared to be developing in a positive direction.

Pulling Ling Feng into a restaurant they often visited, Ling Luocheng sat down, and quite a few people in the restaurant immediately turned their gazes toward the two of them.

Ling Luocheng was, after all, a goddess of the inner court, with no shortage of admirers.

Although she was not wearing her academy uniform, the proud, plum-blossom-like air about her still made her instantly recognizable.

Ling Feng sat across from Ling Luocheng, and his fresh, sunny, handsome face also drew quite a bit of attention.

Though Ling Feng was only twelve, he was already about as tall as Ling Luocheng.

The sight of the handsome boy and beautiful girl sitting together made many people envious.

Ling Luocheng chose to ignore the gazes around them.

She had long grown accustomed to such looks. Generously ordering two of the most expensive nutritious meals, she continued chatting with Ling Feng.

"Anyway, let's leave it at that for now."

"Whether it's the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul or your Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, either one would be enough to shake the Sea God Pavilion."

"Even if Dean Yan says nothing, I'm sure of it."

"In the future, the academy will definitely list you as a key cultivation candidate. It wouldn't even be an exaggeration to make you their number one cultivation candidate."

Ling Luocheng cast aside her wild guesses. Looking at Ling Feng as he shoveled food into his mouth, she turned her attention back to him himself.

A key cultivation candidate... More like they want to tie my future to Shrek.

Ling Feng grumbled inwardly.

To be fair.

Shrek Academy during the Unrivaled Tang Sect era was not entirely without redeeming qualities.

At the very least, once they learned how talented he was, they would definitely focus on nurturing him, and cultivation resources would be directed his way.

Not to mention that, as the continent's publicly recognized "number one academy," Shrek Academy's resources far surpassed those of any other academy.

That was also why Ling Feng had shown off both the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul and the Spirit Eyes martial soul without any reservations.

Cultivating both martial souls in the future would require an enormous amount of resources. Even with the system, it might not be enough.

Besides, if the system's check-in missions kept revolving around Huo Yuhao and the area near Shrek Academy, then it was only a matter of time before his talent was exposed.

Since it would be discovered sooner or later, he might as well reveal it early.

The sooner he gained the attention of Shrek Academy's upper ranks, the sooner he could obtain resources.

As for risking his life for some academy honor...

Forget it.

That sort of thing was better left to our protagonist, Huo Yuhao! He was good at it.

"By the way, have you considered moving in with me?"

Ling Luocheng suddenly blurted out the question, leaving Ling Feng, who had been eating with his head down, rather bewildered.

"No, that's not what I mean!" Ling Luocheng's pretty face flushed slightly as she hurriedly tried to explain.

"The inner academy disciples' dormitories are much better than those of the outer academy, and I'm also one of the higher-ranked students among the inner academy disciples."

"So my dorm is very large. It can practically be considered a small villa, and there's absolutely no problem with two people living there."

"And..." Ling Luocheng paused, her little face turning even redder.

"Now that you possess Ultimate Ice, cultivating together with you would also be quite beneficial to me."

Hearing Ling Luocheng's perfectly "reasonable" explanation, Ling Feng finally understood.

As the owner of an ultimate martial soul, if a soul master with the same attribute cultivated alongside him, then even if his cultivation was far below theirs, they could still achieve twice the result with half the effort.

If they happened upon the right opportunity, it might even stimulate an increase in the martial soul's attribute. It could be said to bring multiple benefits at once.

"I can do that, but for now, I'd like to stay in the freshman dormitories for a while first."

"After all, I've only just enrolled. If I don't even live with my classmates, there'll be much less interaction between us."

In truth, it was because Ling Feng still had a mission to complete.

Judging by the timing, Huo Yuhao would probably arrive at the academy within the next couple of days.

He needed to find him quickly and tell him that setting up a stall at the academy gates to sell grilled fish was good business, so that he would hurry up and do it.

Only then could he check in as soon as possible.

"I see... all right."

After being rejected by Ling Feng, Ling Luocheng's mood visibly sank.

She couldn't live together with Little Feng anymore... sob...

After hastily finishing the meal, the two, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, returned to the academy.

"Are you heading back to the dorm?" Ling Luocheng stopped at the fork in the road.

"Then let's part here."

"You don't need to be frugal when it comes to meals or anything else. Dean Yan has probably already reported your situation, and you'll soon become a first-year core disciple."

"Also, remember!"

Ling Luocheng said with a serious expression.

"Be careful of that woman, Ma Xiaotao!"

"She's dangerous!"
