Tenth-Level Soul Tool: Ghost Moon Divine Sword?

"Xia Yu, such a precious treasure will surely be of great use to you as well. You should use it yourself. Your teacher does not need it."

Although he knew that the immense life force contained within the Gold of Life would undoubtedly greatly benefit him,

and might even allow him to carry out that plan ahead of schedule—fusing his Martial Soul Origin with a soul tool to forge a Tenth-Level Natal Soul Tool—

Kong Deming still resolutely gave up this opportunity. He had no intention of absorbing the Gold of Life and instead wanted Xia Yu to absorb it.

His reasoning was simple: since he had hope of using the Gold of Life to forge a Tenth-Level Natal Soul Tool for himself, Xia Yu could naturally do the same.

Xia Yu was already a level ninety-five Super Douluo, and he was still so young, right in the prime of his rapid advancement.

If he used the Gold of Life to forge a Tenth-Level Natal Soul Tool at this time, his strength would surely become unmatched beneath the heavens, allowing him to look down upon the world.

Then, with Xia Yu standing guard, their Sun Moon Empire would surely sweep through the Three Douluo Kingdoms and achieve the grand ambition of unifying the continent.

At that thought, Kong Deming became even more impatient. Fearing that delays might bring trouble, he immediately urged Xia Yu onward.

"Xia Yu, you do not need to say anything more. Absorb this treasure here and now. I will personally stand guard for you."

With that, Kong Deming firmly pushed the Gold of Life back toward Xia Yu and stared at him with blazing eyes.

It was as though Xia Yu only needed to say no, and Kong Deming would force him to absorb the Gold of Life.

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Xia Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry.

However, he also understood Kong Deming's temperament. Without a convincing reason, it would not be easy to make the old man change his mind.

Without any hesitation, Xia Yu immediately activated his Second Sea of Consciousness—the Eye of Life—and released a brilliant emerald radiance of life.

"Teacher, I absorbed Gold of Life long ago. I specially prepared this for you, so absorb it without worry."

Sure enough, the moment the Eye of Life appeared, Kong Deming was completely stunned.

He no longer said anything about making Xia Yu quickly absorb the Gold of Life.

Instead, he decisively took the transparent crystal box containing the Gold of Life from Xia Yu's hand and put it away.

"You brat, it is good that you have already absorbed Gold of Life. I thought you had brought all your treasures to show filial respect to me. But what is going on with this third eye of yours?"

After glaring at Xia Yu in irritation, Kong Deming carefully examined the Eye of Life he had revealed.

He had not realized it before, but once he looked, he was utterly shocked.

The Sea of Life—Kong Deming had actually seen an ocean formed from gathered life force within Xia Yu's third eye.

Yet that was not even what shocked him the most. Above that Sea of Life hung an emerald-gold sun transformed from the origin of life force.

What terrifying life force! It simply overturned all understanding.

"Phew... Xia Yu, you must hide this blessing of yours well in the future. You must never reveal it before others, otherwise..."

Only after a long while did Kong Deming recover from his boundless shock.

The instant he came to his senses, he warned Xia Yu not to casually reveal his third eye.

"Do not worry, Teacher. With my current strength, who could take the Eye of Life from me?"

Xia Yu accepted Kong Deming's warning, but he did not take it too seriously.

After all, with his current strength, if he unleashed everything he had, even an Ultimate Douluo would not gain any advantage against him.

"You are right, but we should still make the necessary preparations. Come with me."

Kong Deming acknowledged Xia Yu's strength, but he still felt they should be more cautious.

As he spoke, he motioned for Xia Yu to follow and led him to his soul tool workshop.

Xia Yu had visited Kong Deming's soul tool workshop quite often and was already thoroughly familiar with the route.

The two soon arrived.

It had to be said that Kong Deming truly deserved to be called the strongest soul engineer of the Sun Moon Empire. His soul tool workshop was terrifyingly impressive.

Every time he came here, Xia Yu could not help but marvel at his teacher's extravagant wealth.

Compared to it, the soul tool laboratory of Jing Hongchen, the master of Virtue Hall, seemed much simpler and somewhat lacking.

"Teacher, why did you call me here?"

Even now, Xia Yu still could not figure out why Kong Deming had brought him to the soul tool workshop.

If it was to give him more soul tools to ensure his safety, that would not be necessary.

He already had more Ninth-Level Soul Tools on him than he could use, so there was no need to add any more.

As for anything else, there was even less reason to come to the soul tool workshop. It could all be handled in the main hall of the Consecration Hall.

"Have you forgotten? You still have a Natal Soul Tool that has been under construction all this time."

Hearing Xia Yu's question, Kong Deming was speechless.

He had not expected Xia Yu to forget something as important as his Natal Soul Tool.

It was not an ordinary Ninth-Level Soul Tool, but a Natal Soul Tool custom-built entirely according to Xia Yu's own circumstances.

For a Rank-9 Soul Engineer, a soul tool that perfectly matched them was their lifeline. No matter how much importance they placed on it, it would never be excessive.

So why had Xia Yu stopped caring about it after going into seclusion once and breaking through to become a Titled Douluo?

Could it be that after breaking through to Titled Douluo, this brat had grown complacent because his strength had increased so much, and no longer valued the Natal Soul Tool project?

That would not do.

If Xia Yu gave up on his Natal Soul Tool, how would he advance to become a Tenth-Level Soul Engineer?

No matter what, he had to correct that mindset and lead him back onto the proper path.

"Oh, I remember now. So it is the Ghost Moon Divine Sword. Since you are bringing it up, Teacher, has it already been completed?"

While Kong Deming was thinking, Xia Yu finally remembered the matter of his Natal Soul Tool.

It was a top-tier Ninth-Level Soul Tool that he and Kong Deming had forged together before he recovered his memories from his previous life.

As Kong Deming's personal disciple, Xia Yu would naturally follow the path of fusing his Martial Soul Origin with a soul tool to ultimately forge a Natal Soul Tool.

The Natal Soul Tool he had been forging was a sword-type soul tool called the Ghost Moon Divine Sword.

If the Ghost Moon Divine Sword had already been completed, Xia Yu truly wanted to try it immediately.

He wanted to see whether he could fuse the origin of his Ghost Martial Soul with the Ghost Moon Divine Sword, allowing the divine sword to advance into a Tenth-Level Soul Tool.

A Tenth-Level Soul Tool, the Ghost Moon Divine Sword—just thinking about it was exhilarating.

With his current peak level ninety-five soul power, along with all his various enhancements, and a Tenth-Level Natal Soul Tool on top of that, would he not be able to punch Shrek and kick the Holy Spirit Cult?

The moment he imagined that scene, Xia Yu's heart instantly boiled over. All kinds of thoughts surged forth, impossible to suppress.

He could not wait to get his hands on the Ghost Moon Divine Sword.

A Tenth-Level Soul Tool—he wanted one far too badly.
