Solving It? It's Not That Simple

In Lin Mo's bedroom, he was sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating as milky-white soul power continuously circulated through his meridians.

"It worked. It really worked!"

Lin Mo suddenly opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and looked at his hands.

He could feel his two martial souls. The sense of turmoil within his body was gradually settling down. Sure enough, the conflict between martial souls largely stemmed from a clash of attributes.

Amid his delight, Lin Mo also felt somewhat discouraged. If he had known it would be so easy to solve, there would have been no need for all his previous concealment.

Of course, this was also Lin Mo's own fault. He had underestimated his place in Qian Daoliu's heart.

"Since I transmigrated here, I've always kept myself apart from this world, looking at it as though from God's perspective."

"Treating every relationship as a stepping stone... but is that really right?"

Lin Mo gazed up at the moonlight and remained silent for a long time.

Meanwhile, high above the nine heavens.

Evil curled his lips into an amused smile as he watched Lin Mo's current situation with great interest.

"Can't you give him a little privacy?"

Kindness's voice came from behind Evil. Evil immediately reined in his smile, making himself appear as proper as possible.

"Oh, come on. I was just worried the kid might get himself killed."

A clear look of appeasement appeared on Evil's face. He was obviously quite afraid of making Kindness angry.

"How is it? Has he resolved the attribute conflict?"

"Hehe, not yet... But the kid did listen to his elder's advice and used a very clever method to avoid some of the conflict."

Kindness frowned at Evil's words and waved her right hand before her eyes. The previous scene immediately appeared before her.

"This absolutely won't work. Instead of trying to tame those conflicting attributes, he's blindly avoiding them."

"By the later stages, once his first martial soul has been fully cultivated, his second martial soul will be ruined."

"When he adds soul rings to his second martial soul then, the conflict will only become more intense."

Evil nodded in agreement, then added to Kindness's words.

"That elder of his has never seen a true twin martial soul in the end. Relying on hearsay simply won't do."

"After all, the twin martial souls in Douluo Continent's history have almost all died out, so most of those records are vague and inaccurate."

"That servant of the Angel God never developed a complete understanding of martial souls. The fusion between a martial soul and a soul master is an irreversible process."

"And that fusion continuously deepens as soul power increases."

"A martial soul isn't merely a simple tool. It's more like an organ of the soul master."

"Besides, Lin Mo's attributes aren't ordinary... They are ultimate attributes, so they absolutely can't be judged by conventional standards."

"Perhaps ordinary attributes could truly work this way, but Lin Mo definitely can't."

In fact, if another Title Douluo had been the one to solve this problem for Lin Mo, they would have been able to point this out.

But it was precisely because Qian Daoliu was the one resolving the issue that the difference in perspective led to this problem.

Qian Daoliu's later cultivation had mainly relied on the Angel God's blessings, so his understanding of martial souls was rather limited.

Although Qian Daoliu had some insights into martial soul fusion, he had experienced too little of it himself and thus did not take it seriously.

Qian Daoliu even believed that even a slight fusion between a martial soul and its soul master would remain within a controllable range.

Therefore, Qian Daoliu believed that as long as Lin Mo maintained a reserve of attribute-less soul power in his body, then even if it became lightly tainted with attributes, once the second martial soul gained soul rings in the future and a small amount of soul power attributes clashed, it would still remain controllable.

Kindness nodded, and a trace of worry inevitably appeared in her gaze toward Lin Mo.

"Then he..."

"Hehe, if this kid can't figure that out himself, then he truly isn't destined for us."

"Actually, the best solution is to condense two attribute cores, with yin and yang complementing each other."

"Of course, that depends on his own fortune."

"You don't need to worry about him too much. Even if he truly fails to comprehend it, if things continue like this, at most his second martial soul will be ruined."

"It won't endanger his life."

"Still, I hope he realizes it before it's too late."

Kindness nodded and stopped paying further attention to the matter, instead turning her gaze toward Evil.

"Evil, don't you think you've been a little too idle lately? Come with me. There's still plenty of work waiting at the Divine Realm Core."

"Destroyer was clamoring about expansion some time ago."

With a flick of her finger, Kindness placed restrictions on the two beads. Unless Lin Mo reached a life-or-death crisis, the two of them would no longer be able to observe him in real time.

It was equivalent to leaving Lin Mo with a bit of privacy.

Kindness grabbed Evil by the ear and headed toward the Divine Realm Core.

"Hey, hey, Kindness, be gentler."

"Yes, that's it, Lin Mo. Channel the soul power within your body, use your soul skills, mobilize your attributes, and turn them into means of attack!"

Under Qingluan Douluo's guidance, soul power circulated around Lin Mo's body. His first purple soul ring lit up as his first soul skill, Light Sanctuary, activated.

Light, sacredness, and fire attributes swirled around Lin Mo. At that moment, he seemed like a sovereign who controlled three attributes, sacred and imposing.

Under Lin Mo's control, the three attributes intertwined and fused, eventually gathering upon his fist.

The next instant, Lin Mo explosively exerted strength through his waist and abdomen, driving the power of every muscle in his body toward his fist. His fist shot forward.

With a boom, terrifying force erupted from Lin Mo's knuckles like a plasma beam, blasting the enormous boulder before him into fragments.

Terrifying shockwaves spread outward. As the dust settled, Lin Mo stood quietly before the boulder.

"Wow, Lin Mo is so cool!"

Qian Renxue's cry rang out from nearby. Lin Mo lightly wiped away his sweat, smiling as he raised an eyebrow at Qian Renxue.

This instead made Qingluan Douluo, who had just wanted to praise Lin Mo, feel displeased.

"Lin Mo! Don't get arrogant. Keep training, and don't let outside distractions interfere with you."

Lin Mo nodded and discreetly gave Qian Renxue a look. Qian Renxue immediately understood and hurriedly lowered her head.

Guangling Douluo, who was beside Qian Renxue, suddenly came to his senses as well. He had just been picking at his fingers, but he abruptly stood up and said to Qian Renxue with a solemn expression.

"Um, Xue'er, you can't be so slack. Hurry up and practice your first and second soul skills. I'll teach you a few more techniques."

Guangling Douluo was now exceptionally serious. The playful smile on his face had switched to his battle face.

Do you like my battle face?

Right now, Guangling Douluo looked just like a stern teacher.

Qian Renxue cooperated as well. The Six-Winged Angel martial soul manifested behind her as she continuously circulated her soul power, training in the use of her soul skills.

However, Qingluan Douluo clearly was not buying it. With a dark expression, he walked behind Guangling Douluo.

"Uh, Third Brother, what is it? I'm training Xue'er here—"

Before Guangling Douluo could finish, Qingluan Douluo's palm had already smacked the back of his head.

"How old are you already? Yet you still act so improper all day long. If you hadn't volunteered to teach Xue'er, I couldn't be bothered to care about you."

"With Xue'er's talent, can you afford to delay her if you fail to teach her properly?"

Guangling Douluo pursed his lips aggrievedly, but under Third Brother's tyranny, he could only helplessly raise his hands in surrender.

"Third Brother, I'll definitely train Xue'er properly."

"I absolutely won't slack off again."

P.S. I'm recommending a friend's book. You can all check it out—it's a Soul Land 2 story. So far, the research seems pretty solid, and it's worth reading.
