[Lan Yin did not like wearing clothes when she slept.]

[Tang Chuan knew that.]

[But why was Xiao Wu the same?]

[And hadn't I sent you two to sleep in the other bed last night?]

[Tang Chuan angrily gave Lan Yin a harsh punishment.]

[The defenseless Lan Yin quickly woke up.]

[She tilted her head back slightly, her clear eyes seeming to be veiled by the mist that lingered before dawn.]

[They revealed a hint of confusion and innocence.]

[Her slightly parted lips gleamed with a moist, crystalline luster.]

[Even the most upright gentleman.]

[Would find some secret, wicked impulse stirred deep within his heart—the urge to crush her completely in his embrace.]

["Get up already. We still have to go to Spirit Hall to awaken your martial spirit today."]

[In the end, Tang Chuan softened. He awkwardly looked away and withdrew his hand.]

["How did you sleep last night?"]

["It should have been much better than sleeping in the wilderness, right?"]

[Lan Yin clasped her hands above her head and deliberately stretched at an unhurried pace.]

[The thin blanket was pulled upward, inadvertently outlining the curve of her slender, supple waist.]

[Her utterly languid demeanor.]

[Carried an unconsciously captivating charm.]

[It was intoxicating.]

["It was indeed much better than the wilderness."]

[Tang Chuan answered honestly.]

[Earlier, in order to search for extreme-attribute soul beasts near Nuoding City, Tang Chuan had lived in the wilderness for six or seven days.]

[Almost every night, he could hear soul beasts in the distance howling like ghosts or screaming miserably while mating in the middle of the night.]

[He had slept very poorly.]

[After a while, the two woke Xiao Wu, who was still sleeping soundly.]

[After eating lunch together, they headed toward Spirit Hall.]

["Huh? Brother Tang Chuan, you haven't awakened your martial spirit yet?"]

[Xiao Wu was somewhat bewildered when she heard they were going to Spirit Hall. She had clearly not expected Tang Chuan to still lack a martial spirit.]

[But when they had been fooling around last night.]

[Xiao Wu had clearly felt that Tang Chuan was stronger than even her, a level 12 assault-type battle soul master with her first soul ring.]

[At the entrance to Spirit Hall.]

[Seeing Tang Chuan and his group approach, the guards at the entrance instinctively tightened their grips on their weapons.]

["This is Spirit Hall. Unauthorized persons are not permitted inside."]

[However, Lan Yin gave him no chance to continue. An indistinct pressure spread toward the guards before her.]

[The guards' expressions immediately changed. This aura... was it a Soul King? Or a Soul Emperor?]

["Inform your hall master that honored guests have arrived."]

[As one of the Heaven Dou Empire's cities closest to the border.]

[The strongest person in Nuoding City was only at the Soul King realm.]

[How could ordinary soul masters like them dare act presumptuously? They respectfully ushered the three inside.]

[After receiving the report.]

[The master of Nuoding City's Spirit Hall, who had been investigating reports regarding Sword Douluo Chen Xin and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's young princess Ning Rongrong being sighted, frowned.]

["Honored guests? What honored guests?"]

[Just as he walked toward the reception room in confusion, a sudden sense of dread surged into his heart.]

[This feeling was nearly identical to when he met Spirit Hall's high-ranking elders.]

[Was it a Soul Douluo? Or a Titled Douluo?]

[The Spirit Hall master swallowed. When he pushed open the door, his formerly stern expression immediately turned gentle and amiable.]

[With such swift changes in expression and adaptability, it was no wonder he had become the master of Spirit Hall!]

["Haha, forgive me, forgive me. This old man has been busy with affairs recently and did not know of your honored arrival. I failed to welcome you properly, so please forgive me." The hall master politely cupped his hands toward Lan Yin, though inwardly he was greatly astonished.]

[He had clearly not expected this mysterious powerhouse to be a woman.]

[His manner even left the maidservant preparing tea for Lan Yin's group stunned.]

[She had not expected the hall master, who was usually so stern, to be so approachable today.]

[Lan Yin did not put on airs either. She returned the courtesy politely. After all, they were here to ask for help, and if the other party was willing to communicate properly, it would save her a great deal of trouble.]

[When the Spirit Hall master learned that Tang Chuan wanted to awaken his martial spirit.]

[He immediately instructed someone to make preparations.]

[Although Spirit Hall's monthly martial spirit awakening ceremonies for commoners were held on fixed dates, and anyone who missed one had to wait for the next.]

[Such rules were not an issue in the face of absolute strength and social graces.]

[Moreover, the ceremony they prepared for Tang Chuan was not only of the highest standard—the Spirit Hall master even said he would personally preside over it.]

[It was enough to show just how much this hall master valued Lan Yin.]

[Everyone gathered in a luxuriously decorated room.]

["Come, young friend. Enter the center of the formation, and this old man will awaken your martial spirit." With a genial smile, the hall master led Tang Chuan to the center of the room, where they stood facing each other.]

[The several Spirit Hall staff members around them were filled with astonishment.]

["I wonder which top faction this young man's family belongs to?"]

["Even the hall master is willing to make an exception to the rules for him."]

["I've never seen the hall master act so ingratiating."]

["I wonder what kind of martial spirit he'll awaken. It must be incredible, right?"]

[The ceremony officially began.]

[The Spirit Hall master released his martial spirit. Two yellow, two purple, and one black soul ring rose from beneath his feet. He was clearly a five-ring Soul King powerhouse.]

[As he poured soul power into the formation.]

[The formation began to glow white, and countless points of light streamed into Tang Chuan's body.]

[After several dozen breaths, two currents of warmth circulated through his body for a full cycle before flowing toward his hands.]

[His right hand reacted first.]

[A tiny Blue Silver Grass appeared in his palm.]

[However, this Blue Silver Grass differed from ordinary Blue Silver Grass. The final tenth of it faded from blue to black, giving it an exceptionally cool appearance.]

[Blue Silver Grass? How could it be Blue Silver Grass? It's actually a useless martial spirit!]

[Yet when this scene appeared before the Spirit Hall master, his face suddenly stiffened, and his heart turned half-cold.]

[The surrounding staff members were also utterly dumbfounded.]

[They looked at one another.]

[Not daring to say a word.]

["Wow, it's Blue Silver Grass! It's so pretty, and it happens to be the kind of martial spirit I like to eat." Xiao Wu swayed her long ponytail and gave Tang Chuan a thumbs-up.]

[As a soul beast, Xiao Wu had no idea how despairing ordinary people would be if they awakened a useless martial spirit like Blue Silver Grass.]

[At that moment, she was simply happy that her good friend Tang Chuan had awakened a martial spirit.]

[The Spirit Hall master was extremely disappointed, but he still forced out an awkward smile and tried to comfort him.]

["Don't lose heart. Although Blue Silver Grass is a useless martial spirit, it possesses extraordinary vitality.]

[If you absorb soul rings from healing-type or support-type soul beasts, you may still become an outstanding healing support-type soul master in the future... Gah..."]

[However, before he could finish.]

[Tang Chuan's left hand erupted with an incomparably dazzling light, and intense martial spirit pressure swept in all directions.]

[What appeared in his palm was a black iron hammer that looked as though it had been meticulously carved.]

[The Spirit Hall master's comforting gesture froze in midair.]

[As if a binding spell had been cast on him, he stood rigidly in place and even forgot to breathe.]

[Only after several dozen seconds.]

[Did he finally come back to his senses.]

[As his pupils constricted violently, a startled cry filled with authority and trembling rang throughout the entire room.]

["Twin martial spirits!!!"]
