Twin Martial Souls of Two Daggers! Did Xie Xie Get the Wrong Script?

"This Mu Xi really does want to improve."

"But..."

"What does it mean by increased intimidation toward seniors?"

Listening to the traits brought by this achievement, Jiang Yan was at a loss for words. How interesting—was this meant to let him cut down men and women alike, young and old alike?

"Yan'er is back."

"How did the certification at the Blacksmith Association go?"

In the living room, Jiang Luochuan had been waiting for quite some time. Seeing Jiang Yan and the others return, he rose to his feet and asked with a smile.

Na'er's eyes lit up even more. She ran over and obediently sat beside Jiang Yan. Though she did not say she had missed him, she made no effort to hide it.

"Of course, it went smoothly."

Jiang Yan's gaze swept over the two of them. Pointing to the blacksmith badge hanging from his chest, he took it off as he spoke with a smile.

"President Mu said that if Yan'er has any questions about blacksmithing in the future, he can consult the Blacksmith Association at any time."

"This is, without question, the greatest genius in the blacksmithing world in centuries."

Jiang Lingli said with a smile.

"Of course. My Yan'er has the makings of a god!"

The smile on Jiang Luochuan's face deepened, his tone impassioned.

"By the way, how is Yan'er doing at the academy? How talented are this year's students?"

As he spoke, Jiang Luochuan could not help asking.

"The students are all about the same. There are innate soul power levels from four to nine. There are three at level nine, and they even insisted on recognizing me as their boss. They're rather interesting classmates."

Jiang Yan smiled faintly and answered frankly.

"There are three with innate soul power level nine?"

"Since when did East Sea City have so many geniuses?"

Jiang Luochuan was somewhat surprised and could not help asking.

"More than that. This year, the Xie family produced a genius with innate full soul power. His martial souls are two daggers with dragon bloodlines. But unlike ordinary innate full soul power, both martial souls have to absorb soul rings together in order to break through."

"Rather than twin martial souls, they're more like a dual-dagger martial soul wearing the label of twin martial souls. His spiritual power is weak too, so his future potential is likely limited."

At the mention of geniuses, Jiang Lingli seemed to recall something and smilingly brought up East Sea's other genius.

If he had been born earlier, perhaps the Xie family's young master would have possessed limitless potential even with the weakness of his martial souls. Unfortunately...

With only a few dozen points of spiritual power, and with both martial souls needing to absorb soul rings at the same time, how could he possibly make progress? Even after Jiang Lingli reported it to headquarters, it had caused barely a ripple and attracted no attention.

"By the way."

"Did Yan'er not encounter him at school?"

At that moment, Jiang Lingli could not help asking curiously.

"Not really. Other than those three with innate soul power level nine, I haven't encountered any other geniuses."

"I haven't seen this student either."

Jiang Yan shook his head. East Sea Academy had many junior soul master classes, but Class One alone had relatively better talent. Otherwise, there would not have been Wei Xiaofeng and the other two.

Yet Xie Xie, who clearly had excellent talent, had not appeared. That meant he had not enrolled yet? Or perhaps...

Jiang Yan sank into thought. Recalling that person's aloof and solitary personality in the original story, the corner of his mouth twitched.

Could it be that...

He had not gone to school at all in the early stages?

"Xie Xie, are you going to school or not?"

Elsewhere, at the Xie family residence.

A tall middle-aged man wore an angry expression as he looked at his son, who had spent the entire day watching television at home, and asked with a frown.

"Hmph!"

"No."

The brown-haired boy snorted coldly. He did not even glance at his father, rebellious to the extreme and as proud and aloof as a lion.

"No?"

"You neither cultivate nor study at home, and you refuse to attend a soul master academy. Are you planning to waste your talent?"

Father Xie's expression darkened further as he could not help saying.

"Dad, let me tell you, I'm a genius with innate full soul power. The graduation requirement for a junior academy is to become a soul master. I was already level eleven at six years old, and I have twin martial souls."

"I'm already this talented, and you still want me to go to school?"

Xie Xie snorted, equally displeased.

He was already such a genius, and he still had to go to school?

In his view... his father simply did not take his once-in-a-century [innate full soul power] and [twin martial souls] seriously.

Even if his twin martial souls were inferior, he was still among the very best!

Studying at a junior academy was purely a waste of time.

"A genius doesn't need to study? Fine. Then don't even think about becoming a mecha master in this lifetime. Just be a frog at the bottom of a well."

"I'm telling you, your second uncle contacted me. This year, East Sea Academy has no fewer than four students whose innate soul power exceeds level nine."

"The strongest among them is the nephew of Tower Master Jiang. Not only does he have innate full soul power, his martial soul is also a Dragon King of an ultimate element. You, who think you're such a genius..."

"Can you beat him?"

Father Xie knew what kind of temperament his son had. A sneer appeared on his face as his mockery grew sharper.

"What kind of talent is innate soul power level nine..."

"Wait, a Dragon King martial soul?"

Xie Xie had not thought much of innate soul power level nine, but when he heard Dragon King martial soul, his expression immediately turned solemn.

There was an enormous gap between a Dragon King and an ordinary dragon.

And his martial souls were not even dragons, but dagger martial souls containing dragon blood. The disparity between them was beyond doubt.

"Scared?"

Seeing Xie Xie hesitate, Father Xie's face filled with even greater contempt, his mocking expression growing more intense.

"Who, who said I'm scared?"

"Would I be afraid of some top-tier Dragon King?"

"Then let's fight!"

Xie Xie snorted coldly, speaking word by word.

"As long as I defeat him after going to the academy, you'll agree to let me stop going to school. It's that simple."

"Then let's fight."

"I, Xie Xie, have never believed I am inferior to anyone!"

Early the next morning, after the first class ended, homeroom teacher Cai Kun led Xie Xie into the classroom.

"Students, let me introduce you to someone. This is a new classmate. He missed the freshman registration yesterday because he had something to do."

"We won't take up everyone's time. Since it's recess, let's use this time to get acquainted with our new classmate."

The homeroom teacher spoke gently.

"My name is Xie Xie. My martial souls are the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger."

"I am a level-eleven agility-attack battle soul master."

Standing at the podium, Xie Xie spoke arrogantly.

"What!"

"Another soul master!"

"How could this be—"

Hearing this, all the students in the class were shocked. Another student with innate full soul power had arrived?

"Another soul master? Then doesn't that mean he has twin martial souls like Boss?"

From the seat in front of Jiang Yan, Zhang Yangzi froze slightly. Where the hell had this brought him—was this still East Sea City?

Two geniuses with innate full soul power had appeared in a single year. If things had always been like this, East Sea City would not have been rated as a city with nothing but its economy, ranked near the bottom of the Federation.

"But what do Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger mean?"

"Two daggers? Little knives?"

Wei Xiaofeng, however, noticed a blind spot and became somewhat suspicious. Could they be twin martial souls? But how did two daggers count as twins?

"So Xie Xie wasn't refusing to go to school."

Seeing Xie Xie, Jiang Yan could not help thinking. So he had wrongly blamed the other party.

At the same time, Xie Xie's information panel quietly appeared in his mind.

[Character Information Card: Xie Xie]

[Martial souls: Light Dragon Dagger, Shadow Dragon Dagger. Awakened but incomplete Time-Space Dragon. Innate full soul power. The two martial souls possess the potential to fuse into the Time-Space Dragon.]

[Character Talents: Exceptionally Gifted (Black), Twin Martial Souls (Black), Rich Family (Purple), Favored by Fate (Black), Afraid of Wife (White), Lazy (White)]

As the male second lead, Xie Xie was also the "ordinary person" among East Sea's four little ones—neither outstanding in stats nor overpowered. The effects of his traits were undoubtedly plain and unremarkable.

And while Jiang Yan was looking at him, Xie Xie was also focused on this extraordinary presence.

His gaze swept across everyone in the classroom before finally settling on Jiang Yan. There was a peculiar emotion in his eyes.

So... so handsome!

That was not important. What mattered was that he could sense that if anyone here could pressure him, it was likely this person alone.

He...

Was Jiang Yan, right?

Without the slightest hesitation, he strode over.

"Classmate, you're Jiang Yan, right?"

Xie Xie took a few steps to Jiang Yan's desk. Looking at this exceptionally handsome boy, he did not know why, but his tone abruptly changed from cold and aloof to gentle, even obedient.

He did not know whether it was an illusion, but before the person in front of him, he simply could not say the words "I want to challenge you."

"Yes, I'm Jiang Yan."

"What is it?"

Jiang Yan nodded. He was rather curious about this two-dagger boy as well, and his tone was calm.

"Do you have time at noon?"

"I want to... ask you out to talk about something."

Xie Xie took a deep breath. With his mind completely blank, he managed to squeeze out those words.

"Huh?"

The moment he said that, Wei Xiaofeng, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi all stiffened, their bodies jolting.

Even Jiang Yan frowned at that moment. He was pretty sure he had not misread the other party's panel.

You were Xie Xie, not someone holding Wang Dong's script.

Don't say something that sounds so gay!

P.S. Thanks for following! Please vote, everyone, thank you!

Xie Xie: Guys, do you think I can win with a sliding kick?

Jiang Yan: ...That's fucking kneeling.

Xie Xie: I'm going: You should've said so earlier!
