On the Rarity of Twin Martial Souls (Please Recommend, Please Favorite)

Jiang Bai and the other three casually found an open spot by Sea God Lake and began grilling fish.

Perhaps because they had not seen each other for so long, Xiao Xiao also missed Huo Yuhao's grilled fish. She ate with particular relish.

Under the moonlight, they happily enjoyed the grilled fish.

Amid this harmonious scene, Huo Yuhao announced a piece of news that shocked Xiao Xiao.

"So, Yuhao, you have twin martial souls?!"

Holding Xue Ying, Xiao Xiao stared at Huo Yuhao in surprise. How had he suddenly become someone with twin martial souls? He had only returned from a holiday!

"Mm."

Huo Yuhao nodded. He would have to reveal it in a few days anyway, so it did not matter if he said it now. He did not want to hide it from them, nor was there any need to.

However, Huo Yuhao's explanation to Wang Yan was the same as what he had discussed with Jiang Bai before. He did not fully reveal his Ultimate Ice.

He merely said that he could barely elevate it into Ultimate Ice. Wang Yan's response was exactly as Huo Yuhao had expected.

His martial soul probably had not fully awakened yet. That was why Huo Yuhao only possessed a high-level ice-element martial soul at present and had not reached the level of Ultimate Ice.

Afterward, Wang Yan gave Huo Yuhao a thorough physical examination, but he found nothing unusual.

Huo Yuhao was not worried that Wang Yan would discover anything. With the help of Ice Empress and Brother Tianmeng within him, the two soul beasts had housed the origin of Ultimate Ice inside the divine mark between Huo Yuhao's brows.

Unless the examiner's strength exceeded the godly level, it would never be discovered. This was the power of the Ice God. Even if the Ice God had fallen, it was still divine power, not something ordinary people could pry into.

During their earlier conversation, Huo Yuhao had already told Wang Yan that he would reveal it later and would not keep it hidden for long.

Wang Yan also agreed not to notify the Martial Soul Department for now. After all, he had been strongly against Huo Yuhao becoming a reserve core disciple. A full core disciple was clearly what suited Huo Yuhao's status!

Now that Huo Yuhao had suddenly risen to prominence, he could thoroughly slap the faces of those people in the Martial Soul Department.

Such a talented genius had nearly been buried!

"By the way, do you know the content of this advancement assessment yet?"

During their conversation, Xiao Xiao suddenly spoke up. She had heard from her teacher while training earlier that the advancement assessment involved fighting soul beasts.

"I know a little."

"Me too."

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had already learned the content of the advancement assessment from Wang Yan.

Then the three of them looked at Jiang Bai.

"Little Jiang Bai, call me big sister and I'll tell you what the assessment is about."

Xiao Xiao raised her brows smugly, the corners of her mouth curling upward.

The content of the advancement assessment was usually only announced once it began, and the secrecy was extremely strict. Xiao Xiao guessed that Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao had been told by Teacher Wang Yan.

As for Jiang Bai, she had stopped him outside as soon as he arrived today, and afterward he had not met Huo Yuhao or Wang Dong alone.

So there was no way Jiang Bai could know.

"Usually, it's fighting soul beasts, right? I heard some senior students discussing it before."

Jiang Bai made an effort to "guess."

Please. How could someone who had read the original story not know?

Xiao Xiao: "..."

Damn it~

Xiao Xiao viciously bit into her grilled fish before explaining, "Mm, the assessment is indeed about fighting soul beasts, but there are still differences."

The battle was not about killing the soul beast, but displaying one's strength.

For example, control-type soul masters had to demonstrate their control abilities, assault-type soul masters had to display their power, and agility-type soul masters likewise had to show their mobility.

Those were the key points for scoring. Naturally, the higher the score, the better.

"By the way, I have twin martial souls too."

After explaining the scoring requirements, Xiao Xiao took out a piece of paper to wipe her mouth. Then, expressionless, she uttered those shocking words.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong: "!!!?"

The two stared at Xiao Xiao in shock. Twin martial souls?!

However, Xiao Xiao was looking at Jiang Bai.

Xiao Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly. Jiang Bai did not seem very surprised.

Why did it feel as though he already knew?

"Why aren't you surprised?"

Xiao Xiao puffed out her cheeks. She had revealed her greatest secret, yet Jiang Bai's expression had barely changed?

"Maybe I've seen too many strange things. Twin martial souls feel pretty ordinary now."

Mm, that was probably what all four people present were thinking, right?

Jiang Bai looked at the three owners of twin martial souls as they talked about how rare twin martial souls were.

Ah, he really wanted to make a sarcastic remark.

There were only a few people with twin martial souls in the entirety of Soul Land 2, yet nearly half of them had gathered here already, hadn't they?

The night passed amid everyone's cheerful gathering.

[Level: 33]

"Phew..."

Jiang Bai looked at his level. He had finally broken through.

He had consumed quite a few pills during this period just to reach level thirty-three.

"Can't you work a little harder and help me cultivate?"

Pinching Xue Ying's ears, Jiang Bai spoke helplessly.

"Ying ying ying?"

"Ying ying ying~"

Xue Ying did not know~

The next day, class began.

Sure enough, troublemakers had come.

Naturally, it was Dai Huabin and the others. Ever since losing last time, they had been thinking about revenge, and the relationship between the two sides had grown increasingly hostile.

Of course, Huo Yuhao and the others had never intended to maintain a good relationship with Dai Huabin's group either.

"Huo Yuhao? Weren't you expelled for failing to report back?"

Zhu Lu sneered at Huo Yuhao.

After Jiang Bai left, Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu, and Cui Yajie would occasionally go looking for trouble with Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. Over time, the two teams came to despise each other, and their conflict gradually intensified.

"Teacher Wang Yan knows about this too. Since Yuhao is here, the academy must have permitted it. Zhu Lu, are you questioning Teacher Wang Yan or questioning the academy's decision?"

Seeing that the two sides were about to argue, Xiao Xiao stepped in front of Huo Yuhao and glared at Zhu Lu.

"You..."

Zhu Lu gritted her teeth but said nothing. Even the White Tiger Duke's Estate would not dare question the academy's decision, much less her.

"Get lost already, you sickly little cat."

Wang Dong looked at Dai Huabin mockingly. Dai Huabin had shown Yuhao a dark face the moment he arrived today. Did he think Wang Dong did not exist?

They were both three-ring soul masters now. Wang Dong was no longer afraid of Dai Huabin.

"Heh. So what if you're here? Where's that guy called Jiang Bai? He didn't come today either, did he? Don't tell me he died while hunting soul—"

Dai Huabin looked around, but there was no sign of Jiang Bai. Had he died on the way to hunt a soul beast? That would be wonderful.

"Little cat, miss me?"

A hand silently settled on his shoulder. Dai Huabin only felt an incomparably cold aura rise from his spine.

He was about to circulate his soul power, but the chill in Jiang Bai's hand directly suppressed the soul power within his body.

"You..."

Dai Huabin gritted his teeth and held back from making a sound, humiliation welling up within him.

This bastard!

"Little cat, I'm happy that you miss me, but I don't like the way you miss me."

Jiang Bai lightly patted Dai Huabin's shoulder and dispersed the chill within his body.

Jiang Bai walked over to stand in front of Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao. During school hours, Xue Ying did not like coming outside. It seemed she was quite the truant little fellow.

A guy who only knew how to sneak attack!

Dai Huabin gritted his teeth. He had not sensed Jiang Bai's aura at all just now. If it had not been a sneak attack, there was no way Jiang Bai could have gotten close to him.

"This is between me and him. It has nothing to do with you!"

Dai Huabin said viciously. This was a matter between him and Huo Yuhao's team, so why was Jiang Bai coming over to cause trouble?!

"Brother Jiang, let me handle it."

Huo Yuhao stepped forward. He was no longer the same as before. He no longer needed to rely on Jiang Bai to deal with Dai Huabin.

"Mm, do as you like."

Jiang Bai returned to his seat and watched the farce unfold.

Just like in the original plot, there were harsh words, a bet on scores, and the wager was a soul bone.

Unlike the original plot, there were no conditions about breaking legs or anything like that.

But in the end, they still agreed to kneel and apologize. Under Teacher Wang Yan's witness, both sides reached an agreement.

Back at their desks, Xiao Xiao sat beside Jiang Bai, while Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong were at the neighboring desks.

"Actually, you could make him break his own leg if he loses. If you lose, then give him that soul bone."

Jiang Bai suggested it casually. It was only a soul bone, after all.

"He isn't worth it."

Huo Yuhao shook his head. In his eyes, Dai Huabin was worthless. Besides, that soul bone belonged to Xiao Xiao. Even if Xiao Xiao did not mind, it would not do.

"The young master of the White Tiger Duke's Estate isn't worth a hundred-year soul bone? Forget it, he really isn't."

Not far away, Dai Huabin was about to go mad as he listened to the little group constantly belittle him. What gave them the right?!

Soon afterward, Zhou Yi entered the classroom and explained the content of their assessment. As expected, it was the same assessment the four had discussed yesterday.

However, Zhou Yi added quite a few details.

"By the way, Jiang Bai and Huo Yuhao, come to the office today. If you two can't find a suitable excuse for why you returned so late, then wait to be expelled!"

Zhou Yi looked at Jiang Bai and Huo Yuhao impatiently. Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong both frowned at the sight.

What was Zhou Yi doing?

Dai Huabin's group in front wore smiles as well, mockingly looking at Jiang Bai and Huo Yuhao.

Upon hearing that, Dai Huabin froze for a moment before the corners of his mouth rose wildly. He had experienced Zhou Yi's temper before.

Hearing what that old hag in front said, Jiang Bai ignored Zhou Yi and instead looked toward Wang Yan.

Wang Yan's brows were tightly furrowed as well.

He was the head teacher of Class One. Yesterday, he had already told Zhou Yi that he would handle Huo Yuhao and Jiang Bai's matter himself, but what was she doing now?

At this point, even mild-tempered Wang Yan could no longer hold himself back.

"Teacher Zhou Yi, I told you yesterday that I had already handled Yuhao and Jiang Bai's matter."

Suppressing his anger, Wang Yan spoke as politely as he could.

"Teacher Wang Yan, whatever they said may have convinced you, but it may not convince me."

Zhou Yi gave Wang Yan no face. Behind her stood Fan Yu, an eight-ring Soul Douluo and a high-ranking member of the Soul Guidance Department.

Wang Yan was only a five-ring Soul King. How powerful could his backing possibly be?

Could it be greater than hers? Besides, he was only good at martial soul theory. That was all he was capable of; his strength was too weak to accomplish anything.

In this world, strength was what mattered most.
