Jun Xuehan followed Qian Renxue to the dining hall, where a table was neatly laid with all kinds of delicacies.

Qian Renxue seated Jun Xuehan at the table and said softly with a smile, "Xuehan, eat as much as you like. Treat this place as your own home—there's no need to be polite." As she spoke, she handed him a bowl and chopsticks, then picked up her own and quietly began to eat.

Jun Xuehan looked at the dishes before him, his silver eyes blinking slightly. After giving a small nod, he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began eating, with no intention whatsoever of being polite.

As she ate, Qian Renxue occasionally placed food into Jun Xuehan's bowl. A smile remained on her face throughout, making her seem like the friendly older sister next door.

"Xuehan, can you tell me the specific attributes of your two Martial Souls? I'll match Soul Rings for you based on their attributes and explain the basics of Soul Masters. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me," Qian Renxue asked softly, her voice exceptionally gentle.

Hearing this, Jun Xuehan closed his eyes and pondered for a long while before saying, "My First Martial Soul is the Silver Dragon Spear. It possesses formidable offensive power and can wield the energies of water, fire, and wind. My second Martial Soul is the Silver Dragon King, which can control the four elements of water, fire, earth, and wind."

After explaining the attributes of his two Martial Souls, Jun Xuehan secretly thought, My Silver Dragon Spear also has the ability to devour energy and restore itself, but it's better to hold something back. I can't reveal everything. After all, there's a saying: never let your guard down around others. What Jun Xuehan found strangest, however, was the issue with his Martial Souls. He had a feeling that his Martial Souls had not yet fully awakened.

When Qian Renxue heard the voice echoing in her mind, her expression remained unchanged, but her gaze quietly shifted toward Jun Xuehan. She felt that Jun Xuehan, who was only six years old, was practically a little monster. He was unbelievably clever.

An ordinary six-year-old child could never think of such things. Moreover, he was highly skilled at concealing himself, revealing only ninety percent of what he knew and understanding what should and should not be said.

When it came to matching Soul Rings, the direction in which a Martial Soul excelled and the attributes it possessed were extremely important. Only by choosing a Soul Ring compatible with one's own attributes could its greatest power be brought out.

Although Jun Xuehan had revealed the attributes of his Martial Souls, in Qian Renxue's eyes, the ability of his First Martial Soul to devour energy and restore itself was undoubtedly an immensely powerful—even terrifying—ability.

A Soul Master's Soul Power was a form of energy, and Mental Power was likewise a form of energy. Even attributes themselves could be considered energy. Therefore, no matter how she looked at it, this ability to devour energy and restore oneself was incredibly formidable.

Qian Renxue withdrew her thoughts and said softly, "Xuehan, although you possess Twin Martial Souls, you can only choose one Martial Soul to cultivate for now. You cannot cultivate both Martial Souls at the same time. If someone with Twin Martial Souls cultivates both simultaneously, it will cause Soul Ring Backlash and eventually lead to a Body Explosion. Furthermore, neither of your Martial Souls is of low quality. They are at least Top-tier Martial Souls, so even if you cultivate only one first, it will not affect you in any way."

"As for your development path, I recommend that you choose the Assault System, focusing on offense with defense as support. You said earlier that your Silver Dragon Spear possesses formidable offensive power, so for your first three Soul Rings, you should hunt Soul Beasts with attributes corresponding to those of your Martial Soul and absorb their Soul Rings."

"The difference between Tool Martial Souls and Beast Martial Souls is not great, but before Level Seventy, Beast Martial Souls are slightly stronger than Tool Martial Souls. Once Soul Power reaches Level Seventy, however, Tool Martial Souls become slightly stronger than Beast Martial Souls. With your talent for Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power, as long as you cultivate diligently, becoming a Titled Douluo is not impossible. Therefore, which Martial Soul you cultivate first is entirely your own choice."

After Qian Renxue thoroughly explained the advantages and disadvantages between Martial Souls, she continued eating the delicacies before her while waiting for Jun Xuehan's decision.

Listening to Qian Renxue's words, Jun Xuehan fell into deep thought. He knew his own Martial Souls very well. Although the quality of the two Martial Souls was very close, the Silver Dragon King Martial Soul was actually slightly superior to the Silver Dragon Spear.

Moreover, his Martial Souls had not yet fully awakened, and the abilities and attributes of both Martial Souls were incomplete. Since he had Twin Martial Souls, he naturally ought to cultivate the weaker one first and conceal the more powerful Martial Soul.

After considering everything, Jun Xuehan decided to cultivate his First Martial Soul, the Silver Dragon Spear, first and hide the Silver Dragon King Martial Soul.

"Sister Xue'er, I'll cultivate my First Martial Soul, the Silver Dragon Spear, first. Although Beast Martial Souls are slightly stronger in the early stages, they are basically the same. There isn't much difference," Jun Xuehan said in his cool voice.

"No problem. After we finish eating, Sister will take you to Sunset Forest to obtain your first Soul Ring." Qian Renxue smiled faintly, her smile gentle and her pale golden eyes exceptionally clear.

After they finished eating, Qian Renxue led Jun Xuehan straight out of the residence. A carriage was parked outside, and She Long sat quietly at the front of it.

The two entered the carriage compartment, which was decorated in an antique style and carried a faint fragrance. It was also furnished with soft, comfortable cushions that felt very pleasant to sit on.

After Qian Renxue and Jun Xuehan entered the carriage, She Long drove it toward Sunset Forest. Jun Xuehan looked through the window at Heaven Dou City. The streets were bustling and crowded with people, so the carriage did not move very quickly.

Only after the carriage left Heaven Dou City did its speed gradually increase.

Leaning against the side of the carriage, Qian Renxue said slowly, "Elder She Long, Xuehan's Martial Soul is a spear. If you have the time, please give him some guidance."

Upon hearing this, She Long agreed without hesitation. "Young Mistress, children with such talent are truly rare. If this subordinate has the time, I will certainly guide him well."

Qian Renxue nodded gently and said nothing further. There was a reason she wanted She Long to guide Jun Xuehan.

She Long's Martial Soul was the Tool Martial Soul Snake Lance. Although a lance was not the same as a spear, the two were very similar, so She Long was currently the most suitable person to guide him.
