Freedom Incomplete Transformation, One Word: Handsome!

"Qin Qi, th-this is your third soul skill?!"

Qin Ming looked at the humanoid phantom that had suddenly appeared behind Qin Qi, and his heart began to race as he instinctively took a step back.

At that moment, Qin Qi no longer felt like a human to him. He felt more like an ancient soul beast from primordial times!

A savage, domineering aura radiated from him, enough to inspire fear at a glance!

"No, th-this isn't my third soul skill. This seems to be..."

Qin Qi looked at the man behind him—bare-chested, with red hair and covered in totems.

A person immediately came to mind: a supreme grandmaster of the Strength Path, Transformation Path, and Handsome Path!

Reckless Savage Demon Venerable, who possessed super intelligence, super strength, and super handsomeness!

But while Qin Qi was lost in thought, the Reckless Savage phantom suddenly moved. It grabbed the three soul rings behind Qin Qi and opened its mouth to swallow them!

"No, you glutton! Why are you eating my soul rings?!"

Qin Qi's eyes widened, and he instinctively raised his leg and kicked the Reckless Savage phantom.

The instant the phantom was kicked, Qin Qi felt as though someone had kicked him too.

The location and force were exactly the same as where and how hard he had kicked the Reckless Savage phantom!

"So our senses are linked? It's kind of like a Stand from JoJo."

Qin Qi thought of this as the blood-red capes behind both him and the Reckless Savage phantom changed after the soul rings were devoured!

A massive pig-like totem appeared, along with a blue ox with three horns.

Finally, there was a fine steed wreathed in flames and covered in scales. These three totems were precisely the three soul rings Qin Qi had absorbed before!

"Handsome!"

The Reckless Savage phantom shouted, and the cape behind it billowed without wind. The cape behind Qin Qi also emitted a blood-red glow.

In an instant, the phantoms of the three beasts appeared behind Qin Qi, and all their power surged into his body!

Strength, speed, defense, and their special abilities—all of them were bestowed upon Qin Qi one after another!

"This is Freedom Incomplete Transformation!"

Feeling the power within his body, Qin Qi's fists and feet burst into pale blue flames.

This was an ability from the Crimson Flame Scaled Horse!

"Could this be your second martial soul?"

Qin Ming looked at the Reckless Savage phantom. It did not seem like a soul skill to him—it felt more like a second martial soul.

"I-I think so."

"It seems that after I obtained my third soul ring, the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu was stimulated and helped me open up a second martial soul."

Qin Qi looked at the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu, which had emerged from his body and once again coiled around his shoulder before falling asleep.

There was some confusion in his eyes. Then he looked at his three vanished soul rings and became even more confused.

Who am I? Where am I? Where are my soul rings?!

"I know about people born with twin martial souls, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone awaken one after birth!"

"This is just as incredibly rare as a beast martial soul that can leave the body!"

"No, perhaps you were born with twin martial souls as well, except your second one simply didn't awaken at first!"

Qin Ming excitedly pushed up his glasses. He felt that Qin Qi might indeed possess twin martial souls.

At the beginning, his own power had probably been insufficient to trigger his second martial soul.

Now, stimulated by a ten-thousand-year soul ring, his second martial soul had awakened!

"Twin martial souls, innately full soul power, a first and second soul ring at a thousand years, and a third soul ring at ten thousand years!"

"This is way too outrageous! You couldn't even write it like this in a knight novel!"

Franky's eyes were now round as saucers, while his mouth was wide enough to fit an egg inside.

He did not know much about the academic theories of soul masters, but he still understood basic common sense.

What he was seeing had completely exceeded the bounds of his common sense.

"Um... I'd like to ask something. Can these soul rings be restored, or are they gone for good?"

"If they can't be restored, what are we supposed to do afterward?"

Oscar raised his hand and timidly asked. Once he finished speaking, everyone's gazes turned toward him.

"Good question. Can they be restored? What do we do if they can't?"

Qin Qi walked over to Oscar with a solemn expression and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"It hurts! It's hot!"

With that light pat from Qin Qi, Oscar felt as though his shoulder was about to shatter. At the same time, the flames were absurdly scorching.

He immediately let out a scream, then crouched down and fled as fast as he could!

"Sorry, the strength boost was too much. I couldn't control it. I didn't mean to."

Qin Qi looked at Oscar's reaction, froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that his physical attributes had increased again in this state.

"It should be reversible, right?"

"The soul rings haven't disappeared. They were merely absorbed by the cloak behind you."

"This is somewhat like the Ring Fusion technique I know of. Once the state is lifted, it should be fine."

Qin Ming had ultimately seen and learned much. During his time at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he had encountered plenty of knowledge, so he spoke up.

"Then I'll give it a try."

"Hey, dismiss."

Qin Qi looked at the Reckless Savage phantom behind him and spoke.

"Handsome!"

The Reckless Savage phantom struck a bodybuilding pose, displaying the muscles on its body even more perfectly.

"..."

"It has a little intelligence, but only a little. It fits my stereotype of muscles."

Qin Qi felt that, like the Strength-Eating Immortal Gu, the Reckless Savage phantom possessed a bit of self-awareness—but not much.

Exactly how much would require further testing. For now, he needed to figure out how to lift this state first.

Qin Qi studied it for a while before finding the method. He actively controlled the cloak behind him and released the soul rings.

Two purple and one black soul ring immediately reappeared behind Qin Qi, while the enhancement and strange phenomena around him vanished as well.

"Good news: I have soul skills now too."

"Bad news: my soul skills increase stats."

Qin Qi could not help wanting to laugh. Reckless Savage Demon Venerable truly deserved to be the founding master of the strength path; the killer moves he developed were all about overwhelming force.

As long as your strength was great enough, anything could be solved. If you couldn't solve a problem, then your strength definitely wasn't great enough!

"One soul ring is equivalent to one enhancement."

"If you can become a Titled Douluo in the future, then one martial soul will have nine soul rings."

"With two martial souls, that's eighteen soul rings in total. In other words, that's eighteen layers of enhancement!"

After doing some quick calculations, Qin Ming's eyes revealed profound shock. Eighteen whole layers of enhancement!

And judging by Qin Qi's state just now, each layer's enhancement was definitely substantial. With eighteen layers stacked together—

Wouldn't he be able to punch a Titled Douluo to death in the future?!

"Wait... with twin martial souls, one can be given soul rings while the other isn't. That means—"

Qin Ming instantly thought of the absolute advantage of twin martial souls: one could raise their soul power first, then add soul rings afterward.

That meant that, in theory, Qin Qi could wait until he became a Titled Douluo before adding soul rings.

By then, all nine rings could be hundred-thousand-year soul rings. If that could truly be achieved, how terrifying would it be?!

"Qin Qi, what about the consumption? When you entered that state, how much soul power did it consume?!"

Qin Ming immediately thought of this point. Such a powerful enhancement ability surely required an enormous expenditure.

He was now waiting to determine just how much soul power Qin Qi's state consumed.
