Twin Martial Souls: Xiao Huan and Old Chrysanthemum's Fated Master-Disciple Bond

Martial Soul? Did he have a Martial Soul?

He wasn't from this world.

This book was first released on Tiantian Novel. Follow the book there for excellent, error-free, properly ordered chapters.

But what if he really did have a Martial Soul? What kind of Martial Soul would it be?

The Sharingan?

"It looks like you haven't awakened one yet. I'll help you awaken your Martial Soul," Yue Guan said. "Wait here."

Yue Guan ran outside and returned more than ten minutes later with a large pile of awakening materials, which he arranged into an awakening formation.

"Stand on this. I'll awaken your Martial Soul."

Uchiha Huan did as he was told and stepped onto the awakening formation. Yue Guan began injecting Soul Power into it.

Gradually, Uchiha Huan felt his eyes involuntarily activate the Sharingan.

At the same time, a hidden force within Uchiha Huan's body was stirred awake.

Behind Uchiha Huan, a tree burst from the ground and grew several meters tall.

Yue Guan looked at the Sharingan in Uchiha Huan's eyes, then at the tree behind him.

"T-Twin Martial Souls?"

His mind buzzed. The child he had picked up off the road was actually a genius with Twin Martial Souls?

Yue Guan suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly took out a Soul Power Crystal. "Come, place your hands on this and test your Soul Power."

The instant Uchiha Huan placed his hands on the Soul Power Crystal, white light bloomed from it, illuminating the entire bedroom.

Gasp...

Yue Guan sucked in a sharp breath again. Innate Full Soul Power?!

Uchiha Huan turned his head to look at the tree behind him, then touched his Sharingan.

He recalled the scene of himself swallowing Tenzo's flesh and blood.

Tenzo had been the sole survivor of the Wood Release Laboratory. Under normal circumstances, it was naturally impossible to obtain Wood Release simply by swallowing a piece of flesh.

But the Martial Soul awakening process seemed to have triggered the Wood Release.

Did that mean he could also strengthen his Wood Release by adding Spirit Rings?

"Genius! A genius!! Hahaha... Kid, do you want to take me as your master?"

Yue Guan's gaze toward Uchiha Huan was filled with anticipation.

Twin Martial Souls, Innate Full Soul Power, and one of them was even plant-type.

What disciple could be more suitable for him than Uchiha Huan?

After thinking it over, Uchiha Huan asked, "Shouldn't you investigate my background first? Check whether I'm some kind of spy?"

"If every family sent spies with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power to our Spirit Hall, then please send a few more."

"This disciple greets Master." Uchiha Huan had no one to rely on now. Having a Spirit Hall higher-up as his backer was not bad at all.

"Hahaha... I'll take you hunting Spirit Beasts right now."

"Wait... Master, I want to nurse my body back to health first. Could you give me some books about Martial Souls?"

"Alright." Yue Guan nodded. "Next door is my study, where I keep my collection. If it isn't enough, I'll get you more from the Spirit Hall library. This is the Immortal Herb Compendium passed down through my family. Consider it your greeting gift from your master."

That very day, Uchiha Huan went to the study and first chose a basic book on Martial Souls.

A Martial Soul was, plainly speaking, something hidden within one's bloodline that manifested after being stimulated by Soul Power.

Most people needed outside assistance, though a very small number awakened on their own ahead of time.

"Isn't this just the difference between recessive and dominant genes?"

Uchiha Huan read extremely quickly. Thanks to his powerful spiritual power, he could skim ten lines at a glance and remember everything he read.

Before he knew it, Uchiha Huan had reached Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.

After reading a few pages, Uchiha Huan put the book back on the shelf.

It would have been useful if it had been the first book he read, but after reading several others, Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul could be placed directly in the children's reading section.

"Research Report on Self-Condensed Soul Rings." Uchiha Huan suddenly noticed the title of a book and immediately became interested.

Spirit Rings came from Spirit Beasts and formed after a Spirit Beast died...

The book explained the origins of Spirit Rings and included some rudimentary research, but it had not truly completed the process of Self-Condensed Spirit Rings. Its contents were therefore only half-finished.

To understand how to condense Spirit Rings on his own, he needed to understand the process by which Spirit Rings formed.

Uchiha Huan planned to observe it personally in a couple of days when Yue Guan took him hunting Spirit Beasts.

Half a month later—

"Xiao Huan, are you ready?" Yue Guan came to Uchiha Huan's bedroom.

"Master, could you not call me Xiao Huan? It sounds like a maid's name."

"Alright, Xiao Huan."

"Fine. Then I'm ready, Old Chrysanthemum."

"Who allowed you to call me Old Chrysanthemum? You're being far too disrespectful."

"You hurt me first. We're just hurting each other."

Yue Guan reached out to grab Uchiha Huan, but Uchiha Huan appeared behind him.

There had been no trace of movement. It was neither high-speed motion nor teleportation.

Yue Guan turned around in shock. "That just now was?"

"My eyes' ability," Uchiha Huan said.

Uchiha Huan had merely turned time back by one second.

But that single second had consumed one-third of his ocular power.

In this world, ocular power was spiritual power, while chakra was equivalent to Soul Power.

Yue Guan's expression turned somewhat serious. "Xiao Huan, which Martial Soul do you plan to cultivate first?"

"My eyes," Uchiha Huan said.

"Then do you understand these eyes of yours?"

"Any Spirit Beast related to time, space, or spiritual power will do," Uchiha Huan said. "I've looked through Spirit Beast records these past few days. Medusa, the Time Shadow Beast, the Sky-Splitting Azure Eagle, the Phantom Demon One-Eyed Beast, the Lightning Rabbit... all would be good. My physique isn't particularly strong, so one under four hundred years should be enough."

Within the Uchiha Clan compound, Uchiha Huan had always trained carefully to keep a low profile and avoid drawing attention.

He had devoted most of his energy to escape ninjutsu and evolving his Sharingan, leaving him no time to train his physique or practice taijutsu.

So he could only fantasize about absorbing Spirit Rings at the limit or Spirit Rings beyond his age limit.

Still, over the years, he had copied quite a few ninjutsu with the Sharingan.

Kakashi, Konoha's technician, was still unemployed at the moment, so Uchiha Huan was the true Copy Ninja.

"The Spirit Beasts you mentioned won't be easy to find... Fine. Since you're my disciple, we'll go to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Originally, Yue Guan had intended to go to the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Forest nearby.

But Uchiha Huan's requirements were either rare Spirit Beasts or Super Soul Beasts, and he had set such strict limits on their ages. The Soul Hunting Forest definitely would not have them.

On the carriage heading for the Star Dou Great Forest, Uchiha Huan continued reading.

"Xiao Huan, it's enough to just read this knowledge. Practical combat experience is what matters most."

"As your disciple, I have to make up for that, so people won't call us an illiterate master-disciple pair in the future," Uchiha Huan said without even looking up from his book.

Yue Guan laughed in anger. He clenched his fist and looked at Uchiha Huan with ill intent. "Are you mocking me for being illiterate?"

"Was it that obvious?"
