Awakening Twin Martial Souls!

"This is..."

Yang Jian stared wide-eyed at the weapon in his right palm, unable to believe it.

Its blade had three mountain-shaped points, emitting a faint gleam.

The central point was like a spear, while the two side points spread like wings. Its double-edged blades gleamed with a cold silver light, faint silver lightning flickering across them.

A spot of blue condensed at the tip of the central blade.

Cloud patterns flowed along its black iron shaft.

Handsome. Domineering.

Only those two words could describe this weapon.

The Three-Point Double-Edged Saber!

The signature weapon of Erlang, the Illustrious Sage True Lord Yang Jian!

It had actually become his martial soul!

No, there seems to be something else inside the Three-Point Double-Edged Saber. Through his connection with his martial soul, Yang Jian quickly made another discovery, but he did not inspect it immediately.

Because Wang Hegui, standing outside the awakening array, had already stepped forward. He stared fixedly at the Three-Point Double-Edged Saber in Yang Jian's hand, his breathing rapid and his excitement impossible to conceal.

"This is a top-tier martial soul!"

Wang Hegui was utterly certain. The sudden, heavy soul power and the phenomenon that had appeared were enough to prove that this child's awakened martial soul was anything but ordinary!

He had served as a deacon in Spirit Hall for twenty years and helped many people awaken their martial souls. Although he had never witnessed the awakening of a top-tier martial soul himself, he had read about it in books.

Wang Hegui's pupils contracted as he looked at the strange weapon quietly floating in Yang Jian's palm, its design brimming with dominance. He was certain that it matched none of the top-tier martial souls he knew of.

But that did not matter at all!

He hurriedly pulled Yang Jian over to the crystal ball and urged, "Child, quickly put your hand on it and test your soul power!"

The coldness on his face had long vanished, replaced by a warm smile. It was as though the person who had been wearing a stern expression moments ago had not been him at all. He seemed especially approachable.

It was common knowledge that a top-tier martial soul could not possibly have innate soul power below Rank 7.

With Rank 7 innate soul power and proper cultivation, one could hope to become a Soul Sage.

And Rank 7 was merely the minimum. If it was Rank 8, Rank 9, or even full innate soul power, then while he might not dare guarantee a Titled Douluo, becoming a Soul Douluo would be certain!

This was a first-rate achievement delivered right to his doorstep!

"But, Soul Master..." Yang Jian did not immediately touch the crystal ball. Instead, he put on the innocent expression of a child and raised his left hand. "I feel like I might have another martial soul."

He had no intention of concealing the fact that he was a genius with twin martial souls.

After transmigrating here, his greatest wish had been to improve his family's life, help his older brother Yang Jiao shoulder less of the burden, and let his younger sister Yang Chan grow up happy and carefree.

Displaying his talent and gaining Spirit Hall's attention was undoubtedly a shortcut!

"That isn't important. Right now, you should..." Wang Hegui had just begun to speak when he suddenly realized what Yang Jian had said. His eyes went wide, and his mouth opened so wide that it could have fit a fist. "You have another martial soul?"

Yang Jian nodded. "Mm."

As he spoke, he tried communicating with the martial soul in his left hand and summoned it.

Then, accompanied by a flash of white light—

A short-haired white dog appeared beside Yang Jian.

Pointed ears and a long tail.

A nimble posture.

It looked like nothing more than an ordinary dog.

But Yang Jian knew it was far from ordinary.

"Woof!"

The short-haired white dog blinked, its gaze landing on Yang Jian beside it. It barked excitedly, then immediately wagged its tail and ran over, rubbing its head repeatedly against Yang Jian's leg.

"Uh..." Wang Hegui examined the short-haired white dog for several moments, but no matter how he looked at it, he could not find anything particularly remarkable about it. He sighed inwardly.

When he had heard that this child possessed twin martial souls like His Holiness the Pope, he had nearly danced with joy. But upon seeing that one was a detached beast martial soul, much of that joy immediately faded.

It was still considered a beast martial soul.

But detached beast martial souls were utterly worthless.

Because detached beast martial souls could not possess their wielders!

One had to know—

In the early stages, soul masters with beast martial souls possessed considerable combat power.

That was entirely due to the various enhancements granted by possession.

But if possession was impossible—

They were, at most, only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

Wang Hegui had heard that someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had once awakened a detached beast martial soul as well. They had been practically no different from trash.

"Child, your second martial soul is fairly ordinary. You should test your soul power first." Wang Hegui coughed lightly, unwilling to discourage Yang Jian, and decisively changed the subject.

It did not really matter, anyway.

After all, the fact that this child possessed twin martial souls could not be changed.

And his first martial soul was still a top-tier martial soul.

Even if his second martial soul was rather useless—

His future achievements would not be low.

"Oh."

Yang Jian pursed his lips. He knew Wang Hegui looked down on his second martial soul, but he had no intention of defending the short-haired white dog.

The other man was merely one of Spirit Hall's most ordinary deacons.

They were destined not to have much interaction in the future.

It was enough for the truly important figures to know how powerful his second martial soul was.

Buzz!

Yang Jian stretched out his hand and placed it on the crystal ball.

The next second—

An incomparably dazzling blue light erupted from within the crystal ball without warning!

The light was violent, pure, and brilliant, instantly illuminating the entire room. It even spilled outside through the gaps in the door and the window paper!

The crystal ball grew scorching hot, its light flowing without end as though it contained a sea of stars.

Its body trembled.

It radiated an incredibly pure soul power that made one's heart pound.

Wang Hegui's pupils abruptly shrank. His expression changed dramatically, and his breathing stopped for an instant.

He stared fixedly at the crystal ball, his lips trembling.

After two seconds of silence, Wang Hegui cried out, "Innate... full innate soul power!!!"

"This is... full innate soul power, something seen only once in a century!!!"

That cry of extreme excitement shattered the room's silence. It frightened the other three children badly; they stood where they were with their heads lowered, completely unable to understand what was happening.

"What is your name?" Wang Hegui asked, breathing rapidly as he grabbed Yang Jian's shoulders.

Yang Jian answered honestly, "Yang Jian."

"Good, I'll call you Little Jian!" Wang Hegui immediately invited him. "Little Jian, are you willing to join Spirit Hall and become a member of Spirit Hall?"

"I guarantee that with your talent, as long as you join Spirit Hall, you will definitely receive focused training!"

"You must know that throughout history, not a single person with twin martial souls has met a good end. They all perished during cultivation because they could not find the correct method."

"However, His Holiness the Pope is the only person with twin martial souls to cultivate to the rank of Titled Douluo. If His Holiness takes notice of you, your future will be boundless!"

Wang Hegui did his utmost to extol the benefits of Spirit Hall.

A twin martial soul wielder with full innate soul power—he did not even dare imagine what reward he could receive if he brought such a person into Spirit Hall.

This might be his chance to rise!

"I'm willing."

Yang Jian did not hesitate in the slightest. He did not spend even a second thinking before immediately nodding.

For one thing, if Spirit Hall had not specifically sent people to awaken martial souls for commoners, then given his family's circumstances, he would never have had the chance to awaken a martial soul in his lifetime.

One could not repay kindness with ingratitude. It was something his parents had often said when they were still alive.
