The Weight, Beyond Doubt!

"Here comes the strength-testing stone..."

Before long, Su Yuntao had a group of people carry in a massive black strength-testing stone.

Bang!

Even though they set it down with utmost care, the ground cracked from the impact.

Seeing this, Li Zha raised an eyebrow.

This strength-testing stone was way too heavy, wasn't it?

Su Yuntao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Then he looked at Li Zha.

"Li Zha, release your martial soul first, then attack this stone with all your strength."

"Remember, don't use soul power."

Li Zha nodded.

He took a shallow breath.

With a grasp of his right hand through the air, the Flaming-tipped Spear appeared with a boom.

He lowered his head and looked at the Flaming-tipped Spear.

Then, with a thought, he adjusted it to a length of two meters.

That was the ideal length for him to exert force at his current height.

As I recall, whether something is a tool martial soul has a lot to do with its weight.

Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer starts out at five hundred jin...

As for my Flaming-tipped Spear... I have no idea how heavy it is.

Li Zha grumbled inwardly.

Whenever he wielded the Flaming-tipped Spear, he could manipulate it however he pleased. He could make it as long as he wanted, or as light as he wanted.

It always had the ideal weight and feel.

As a result, he had never had a concrete idea of how much his Flaming-tipped Spear weighed.

"Student Li Zha, please begin!"

Su Yuntao urged as he watched Li Zha.

It was not just him.

The others nearby had their eyes wide open as well, anticipation written all over their faces.

They were terrified that even a blink would make them miss a second of it.

Li Zha did not hesitate any longer.

He abruptly raised the Flaming-tipped Spear.

Using every ounce of his physical strength, he smashed it down viciously onto the strength-testing stone.

Clang—!

A piercing sound rang out!

Black ripples instantly burst across the strength-testing stone and spread in every direction.

Inside the appraisal room, the papers on the tables, the curtains at the windows, and everything else were whipped into the air with a loud flutter.

Su Yuntao and the others stared in astonishment.

"What an intense reaction!"

"With a reaction like this, it has to be at least a high-grade tool martial soul!"

The people around them were excited.

If it were just a single martial soul, this would not have meant much.

But Li Zha had twin martial souls!

A person with twin martial souls who also possessed a high-grade tool martial soul could be said to be worth two people of the same cultivation level in the future!

"Was one strike enough?"

Li Zha held the Flaming-tipped Spear in a reverse grip and looked at Su Yuntao.

Su Yuntao quickly nodded and stepped forward.

"Yes! Next, we just need to look at the strength-testing stone to determine what grade of tool martial soul it is!"

He quickly moved up to the strength-testing stone.

He also took out a small notebook and compared something against it.

Clearly, he was consulting reference materials.

After all, this was the first time Su Yuntao himself had used a strength-testing stone.

Under normal circumstances, even he was not allowed to use one.

Before long, he had his answer.

The little notebook in his hand dropped to the floor with a slap.

"O... one thousand five hundred and thirty jin!!"

The moment those words came out, the other Spirit Hall soul masters immediately turned their heads.

"What?! How much?!"

"One thousand five hundred and thirty jin?!"

"H-how is that possible?!"

Watching their reactions, Li Zha smiled and said, "Has it exceeded the records for top-grade tool martial souls?"

He knew in his heart that it most likely had.

After all, the Clear Sky Hammer weighed only five hundred jin, yet it was already considered a top-grade tool martial soul.

Su Yuntao and the others stared deeply at Li Zha.

"More than that... this weight! Beyond doubt, it's a top-grade tool martial soul!"

"It's nearly three times the mass of a top-grade tool martial soul!"

"Even if we created a new category beyond the highest grade just for your spear—a super top-grade tool martial soul—I don't think anyone would object!"

"By the way, what was your martial soul called again?"

Someone beside him asked for confirmation once more.

Li Zha said, "Flaming-tipped Spear."

"Flaming-tipped Spear..."

Su Yuntao and the others muttered the name silently.

They etched those three words firmly into their hearts.

They were certain that, in the future, those three words would resound across the entire continent!

Li Zha withdrew the flames, and the Flaming-tipped Spear vanished with them.

"Deacon, do you have any books here about soul beasts?"

"Books about soul beasts?" Su Yuntao froze for a moment.

He really did not.

A Spirit Hall branch usually did not keep such things.

After all, those materials were only available at academies.

"None here?" Seeing his reaction, Li Zha nodded slightly.

Just as he began considering how to choose his first soul ring,

Su Yuntao quickly raised his hand again. "Yes! Of course we do!"

"They're just not here. I'll get them for you right away!"

"Student Li Zha, please rest first! I'll go fetch them!"

With that, he shot out the door in a blur.

He was unbelievably fast.

Li Zha was dumbfounded.

Wait, I can be treated this well too?

If I'd known Spirit Hall treated people this nicely, why the hell would I have followed that buzz-cut master?

Elsewhere, Su Yuntao rushed out of the branch without slowing down in the slightest and headed straight for Nuoding Soul Master Academy.

His Spirit Hall branch did not have such books, but the soul master academy definitely would!

Besides, Nuoding Soul Master Academy was nearby!

If he went himself, he could also make more of an impression on Li Zha!

Twin martial souls!

A talent seen only once in a century!

Would anyone be stupid enough to offend a genius like that instead of building a relationship with him?

Achoo!

Inside Nuoding Soul Master Academy, Yu Xiaogang had a small bundle on his back and had just reached the entrance when he sneezed.

"Teacher, what's wrong? Did you catch a cold?"

Tang San hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's nothing. Li Zha must be regretting it already and thinking about me."

The corners of Yu Xiaogang's mouth lifted slightly.

When it came to confidence, he had always been extremely confident.

"Master?!"

A familiar voice suddenly rang out.

Tang San looked over.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

It's him.

The soul master who awakened my martial soul...

Why is he here? Could it be... he discovered the secret of my twin martial souls?

Impossible. I didn't reveal it back then...

While he pondered warily, Su Yuntao had already rushed over and arrived before them.

"Perfect! Master, do you have any books related to soul beasts? The more comprehensive, the better!"

"Deacon, why are you asking me about this so urgently?"

Yu Xiaogang rolled up his sleeves. "I do have some, but..."

"But what?" Su Yuntao pressed.

Yu Xiaogang immediately grinned and pointed at his head. "Every word of it is all right here."

Su Yuntao: ...

The corner of his mouth twitched several times.

People had said this Yu Xiaogang had something wrong with his head. He had not believed it before.

He had not expected it to be true.

I want books! Who cares if they're in your head!

What, am I supposed to dig your brain out?!

"If you don't have any books, then just say so. What are you putting on an act for?"

Su Yuntao muttered as he walked around Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes instantly turned bloodshot! He panted like a bull!

What?!

He had been ignored?!

He had just been ignored by that brat Li Zha today!

And now, even a mere deacon was looking down on him?!

"Deacon, please wait. May I ask what you need books on soul beast knowledge for?

If you are looking up information on certain soul beasts, you may as well tell me directly.

I, Yu Xiaogang, cannot claim to know one hundred percent of all soul beasts, but I know at least ninety-nine percent of them."

Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back, wearing the air of an expert.

Su Yuntao rolled his eyes at him. "Can't you understand human speech?

I want books! A child needs to study knowledge related to soul beasts!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang fell silent instead, while the smile on his lips grew wider.

Isn't this right in my territory for showing off!

I may be no good in actual combat, but I'm number one in theory!

Well, that was a title he had given himself.

"Ahem, Deacon, who is this child you speak of?

I believe the knowledge in books may not necessarily be comprehensive.

And for an ordinary child, knowledge of all soul beasts would only confuse them.

The more one knows does not necessarily mean one understands more."

Su Yuntao rolled his eyes at him.

"Ordinary? Ordinary my ass! The child I'm talking about has twin martial souls, a talent seen once in a century!

And one of those martial souls is even a super top-grade tool martial soul!"

He had no intention of hiding it.

So many people in the branch already knew.

And it had even been reported to Spirit Hall.

So what if they knew?

Were they going to compete with His Holiness the Pope for a student?

"What?!"

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San stared at Su Yuntao in shock.

"Twin Martial Souls?!"

Aside from Tang San and Li Zha, there was another person with twin Martial Souls?!

And they were even super top-tier weapon Martial Souls?!

Tang San looked at his left hand.

My Clear Sky Hammer was only judged by Teacher to be top-tier.

There was something beyond top-tier...

Who could it be...

"Sir Deacon, what is this child's name?! Has he had a teacher?!"

Yu Xiaogang was extremely excited.

Twin Martial Souls!

Another monster!

If he wanted to prove himself, then naturally, the more monsters Yu Xiaogang taught, the better!

Su Yuntao cast him a disdainful glance.

"You really dare to dream. You even have designs on a twin Martial Soul genius?

There's no harm in telling you. Unless something unexpected happens, he'll most likely be taken as a disciple by His Holiness the current Pope.

As for his name—Li Zha."

"Who...?"

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San turned around at the same time!

"Li Zha?! How could it be him?!"
