After Xiangliu swallowed the entire Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake, it lay contentedly on the ground, lazily exposing its pale belly as it let out a satisfied burp. Clearly, it had eaten its fill.
"The whole Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake has already been eaten by you. Why hasn't there been any change yet? Do we need to wait a little longer?" Dugu Yao murmured, stroking his chin as he watched Xiangliu lying on the ground.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, the second head on Xiangliu's left suddenly changed. Orange light bloomed from it, followed by flames that flashed and vanished in an instant.
Then, its tightly shut eyes suddenly opened. Yet its gaze was utterly vacant. It tilted its head, flicked out its tongue, and drooled from the corners of its mouth, looking like a child with impaired intelligence.
Xiangliu raised itself up and stared uncertainly at its second head, its face showing a humanlike expression of astonishment, as though asking, Was this really part of me?
Then the second head began shaking violently. Soon afterward, it straightened itself, and clarity gradually returned to its eyes. No longer as dazed as before, it spat out a burst of flame, as if celebrating its awakening!
"Brother, your Martial Soul can actually breathe Netherflame too!" Dugu Yan said in surprise. After all, Netherflame Breath was her Soul Skill!
"Hm?" Dugu Yao looked at Dugu Yan in surprise and asked doubtfully, "Yanyan, you're saying that thing is your Soul Skill?"
"Yes, Brother. My first Soul Skill is Three-Phase Netherflame Breath. It can breathe out three streams of flame, and they carry deadly poison. But this ability of your Martial Soul doesn't seem to be a Soul Skill," Dugu Yan said awkwardly.
"After Xiangliu devoured the Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake, the second head it awakened possesses the fire attribute. Xiangliu itself already has the ability to spray venom."
"So the flames it spits out are poisonous as well. It really is somewhat similar to your Soul Skill." Dugu Yao could not help laughing helplessly when he heard that.
So his sister's Soul Skill was merely one of Xiangliu's basic abilities. The gap was simply too much to look at. And as for this fire-breathing ability—
Xiangliu's main head could use it too. As Xiangliu's primary mind, it possessed every attribute ability that its secondary minds possessed!
Watching the secondary head show off, Xiangliu's main head could not help opening its jaws and spewing out an even larger burst of flame, as if declaring its authority!
Dugu Yan's face nearly twisted into a knot. Her brother truly was her brother—he was just that amazing. Even his Martial Soul's basic abilities were virtually identical to her Soul Skills!
"Since the second head has awakened and even has its own personality and thoughts, we can't keep calling all of you Xiangliu in the future. How about I give you names now?" Dugu Yao said to Xiangliu.
Dugu Yan grabbed Xiangliu and began gently rubbing the heads of the miraculous little creature before her, playing with it. Xiangliu did not resist and simply played along with Dugu Yan.
"Mm! From now on, the main head will be called Little Liu! It comes from the Liu in Xiangliu. And since the secondary head awakened after devouring a fire-attribute Spirit Beast and was born with the power of fire, with flames that are orange-red in color, you'll be called Little Red from now on!" Dugu Yao nodded slightly, extremely satisfied with the names he had chosen.
The main head had no objections to the name Little Liu, but Little Red was somewhat resistant. Still, it had no choice but to accept the crude name.
Dugu Bo watched Xiangliu playing with Dugu Yan and thought to himself, "Each of Xiangliu's heads has its own personality and thoughts. Every time Yao'er absorbs a Soul Ring in the future and has it devour the Spirit Beast's corpse, he will be able to awaken another head."
"At the same time, the awakened head will possess the attributes of the Spirit Beast it devoured. In other words, the Xiangliu Martial Soul can possess eight attributes. Hiss—this Martial Soul truly deserves to be called a God-Bestowed Martial Soul!"
Dugu Bo could not help marveling inwardly. Looking throughout the history of the Soul Master world, it seemed that a Martial Soul as unique as the Xiangliu Martial Soul had never appeared before!
Dugu Yao watched Dugu Yao playing with Xiangliu and said to Dugu Bo, "Grandfather, now that my sister and I have successfully absorbed our Soul Rings, shall we go back? I'm sure Mother and Father will be very surprised when they see our Soul Rings!"
"Let's go. It's time for us to leave as well." Dugu Bo withdrew from his thoughts and looked at the two little monsters before him.
His grandson, Dugu Yao, had Innate spirit power level 20. His first Soul Ring was a God-bestowed Million-Year Soul Ring, and his Second Soul Ring was a 9,600-year Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake Soul Ring.
Moreover, after absorbing the Soul Ring, his Soul Power Level had directly reached an astonishing level 28!
His granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had Innate spirit power level 10. Her first Soul Ring was a 3,000-year Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake Soul Ring, and her Soul Power Level had directly reached level 18!
Weren't they little monsters?
Dugu Bo led Dugu Yao and Dugu Yan out of the cave. Because of the dragon might emitted by the Jade Phosphor Poison Dragon Emperor earlier, not a single Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake could be seen in the cave now.
Once outside, Dugu Bo gathered the two into his arms and flew into the sky. Before long, they had returned to Dugu Manor.
Dugu Yan jumped down from Dugu Bo's arms, pushed open the door, and shouted, "Father, Mother, we're back! We absorbed our Soul Rings and became Soul Masters!"
Hearing her voice, Dugu Xin and Lin Wanqiu emerged from the Reception Hall. Dugu Yan rushed straight toward them, and Lin Wanqiu pulled her into her arms.
"Yanyan, how was your Soul Ring? Was it 3,000 years? What about your Soul Skill?" Lin Wanqiu asked excitedly. Who would not be excited over a Soul Ring that completely shattered the common sense of the Soul Master world?
"Mother, the Soul Ring I absorbed came from a 3,000-year Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake. My Soul Skill is Three-Phase Netherflame Breath, and my Soul Power Level is now level 18! But Brother's improvement is even greater!" Dugu Yan gestured animatedly, her face overflowing with joy.
"Oh? Was it the cave in that Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake habitat? Then it seems your brother absorbed the Soul Ring of that Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake that was close to ten thousand years old!" Dugu Xin said with a smile.
They had discovered the Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake habitat by chance, and they had also determined that there was definitely a Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake there whose age was close to ten thousand years!
"That's right! Brother absorbed the Soul Ring produced by that 9,600-year Crimson Eye Netherflame Snake, and Brother's Soul Power Level has already reached level 28!" Dugu Yan said with a giggle.
"What? His Soul Power Level is actually level 28?" Dugu Xin and Lin Wanqiu exchanged glances, crying out in shock. Their two children were simply monsters!
"What do you mean, level 28? Are you talking about my Soul Power Level?" Dugu Yao said with a smile as he walked over, followed by Dugu Bo. "Father, Mother, let's go inside first. We can talk once we're inside!"
