Three-Life Martial Soul

It would have been a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

In his previous life, he had merely been an ordinary person watching stories through a screen, mocking the plot and regretting the characters' fates. Never had he imagined that one day, he would stand here in person and undergo the Martial Soul awakening of this world.

This was his true starting point in Douluo Continent. Whether he would be strong or weak, ordinary or extraordinary, all depended on today.

He drew a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Qian Daoliu walked to the Awakening Stone and activated his Soul Power once more. A golden pillar of light rose again, enveloping Bibi Xu. Warm Soul Power flowed into his body. Bibi Xu steadied his mind and followed that force, guiding it toward the depths of his dantian.

It's here!

He clearly felt something awakening within his dantian.

The first thing to emerge was a pitch-black phantom. Eight long, sharp spider legs slowly unfurled. The spider's body was covered in heavy black armor that glinted with a cold metallic sheen, while its scarlet eyes radiated lethal danger and a dense aura of death.

The phantom slowly took shape behind him, and a chilling, baleful aura instantly spread through the hall, faintly opposing the sacred angelic presence within.

"A spider Martial Soul?"

"Judging by its aura, its quality isn't low. It's at least a top-tier beast Martial Soul."

"It looks somewhat like the Saintess's Death Spider Emperor..."

The consecrated elders murmured among themselves, their gazes falling upon Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong stood outside the formation, her fingers clenched tightly as she unconsciously softened her breathing.

She stared at the familiar black Spider Emperor phantom, her heart pounding wildly. The Death Spider Emperor was her Martial Soul. How had Ah Xu awakened the same Martial Soul as her? Could it be because he had stayed by her side for so long and been influenced by the aura of her Soul Power?

But before anyone could think further, a sudden change occurred.

Just as the Death Spider Emperor phantom fully condensed, another dark green phantom slowly rose from Bibi Xu's body.

It was also spider-shaped, yet stranger and more sinister than the Death Spider Emperor. Its legs were slender and sharp, gleaming with an eerie green chill. A faint poisonous mist coiled around it, and merely looking at it made one's scalp prickle.

Soul Devouring Spider Emperor!

"Twin Martial Souls?" Golden Crocodile Douluo cried out, abruptly rising to his feet. "It's actually Twin Martial Souls, and both are top-tier Spider Emperor beast Martial Souls!"

An uproar swept through the hall.

How rare were Twin Martial Souls? Throughout the history of Douluo Continent, fewer than ten recorded cases existed.

Bibi Dong was even more shaken, unable to hide the excitement in her eyes.

Twin Martial Souls! The same as hers—the Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor Twin Martial Souls.

Yet immediately afterward, she frowned.

No. These weren't Twin Martial Souls.

With ordinary Twin Martial Souls, the auras of the two Martial Souls were independent and clearly distinct. Like her own two Martial Souls, they had always been used separately; forcibly fusing them would only bring backlash.

Yet the auras of the two Spider Emperor phantoms behind Bibi Xu were slowly merging. The black power of death intertwined with the dark green power of soul devouring. Not only did they not clash, they complemented one another, their aura becoming stronger and more condensed.

The two phantoms were actually one!

"Not Twin Martial Souls..." Qian Daoliu had also noticed the anomaly, his expression solemn. "It's One-Soul Two-Forms. One Martial Soul with two forms, possessing both death and soul-devouring attributes."

This was even rarer than pure Twin Martial Souls.

Though Twin Martial Souls were powerful, they carried the fatal flaw of Soul Ring conflicts. One mistake could lead to the body exploding and death. But a One-Soul Two-Forms Martial Soul was fundamentally a single Martial Soul. There was no issue of conflicting backlash, yet it possessed two attributes and two sets of abilities. Its compatibility and potential for growth far surpassed ordinary Twin Martial Souls.

The tension in Bibi Dong's heart instantly eased, replaced by surging delight.

She was not afraid that Ah Xu's talent was too high. She only feared that his exceptional talent would come with hidden dangers. One-Soul Two-Forms perfectly avoided the risks of Twin Martial Souls. This was practically a gift from heaven.

At the center of the formation, Bibi Xu kept his eyes shut as he sensed the changes within his body, equally exhilarated.

The Twin-in-One Spider Emperors Martial Soul inherited the strengths of Bibi Dong's two great Spider Emperors without the drawbacks of Twin Martial Souls. This start already far exceeded his expectations.

But it wasn't over yet.

Just as the Spider Emperor phantoms completely stabilized, he clearly sensed two other energies stirring in the depths of his dantian.

One was domineering and violent, filled with destructive power—a sleeping giant dragon slowly awakening. The other was more hidden, more profound, concealed in the deepest part of his soul with an ancient stillness. At the slightest movement, even his spiritual soul trembled.

Two energies, two Martial Souls!

Added to the One-Soul Two-Forms Spider Emperor, he actually possessed Three-Life Martial Souls!

Bibi Xu's heart pounded madly, his delight nearly bursting through his chest.

Vast heavens, you truly have not failed me!

After transmigrating here, he had actually received the ultimate Three-Life Martial Soul setup.

But after the initial ecstasy, he immediately calmed down.

A tree that stands above the forest will be battered by the wind.

Twin Martial Souls were already shocking enough to draw the attention of the entire continent, let alone Three-Life Martial Souls. If exposed, they would surely attract countless covetous eyes.

He had to hide one of them.

Bibi Xu's thoughts raced, and he immediately made his decision. The One-Soul Two-Forms Spider Emperor counted as one Martial Soul. He would reveal the dragon Martial Soul with the destruction attribute as well, then claim to possess Twin Martial Souls.

As for the mysterious third Martial Soul hidden deep within his soul, he absolutely could not reveal it unless there was no other choice.

Suppressing the stormy waves in his heart, he slowly withdrew the Spider Emperor Martial Soul.

The black and dark green phantoms gradually faded, and the chilling baleful aura in the hall dispersed with them. Just when everyone thought the awakening had ended, an incomparably domineering aura of destruction erupted from Bibi Xu's body without warning.

Boom!

Purple-black airwaves spread outward from Bibi Xu, and even the hard white jade floor tiles cracked with fine fractures. The sacred golden light in the hall was dimmed by several degrees under the impact of that aura.

Roar—

A deep, majestic dragon roar echoed through the void as a purple-black dragon phantom slowly condensed into form.

Its body was long and covered in dense purple-black dragon scales, each one gleaming with a metallic chill. Barbs ran along its spine, and its dragon eyes were pure dark violet, devoid of even a trace of emotion—holding only the cold indifference and tyranny to destroy all things.

Its dragon wings spread wide enough to blot out the sky, even several sizes larger than the wings of the Six-Winged Angel. Faint purple-black lightning of destruction coiled around its body, and wherever it passed, even space warped slightly.

"Th-this... what kind of dragon Martial Soul is that?"

"What a powerful aura of destruction. This is definitely a top-tier dragon Martial Soul!"

"Twin Martial Souls! It really is Twin Martial Souls! A One-Soul Two-Forms Spider Emperor, plus a top-tier dragon Martial Soul!"

The great consecrated elders could no longer remain seated. They all rose, their faces filled with shock.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's pupils contracted as he stared fixedly at the purple-black dragon phantom. In a deep voice, he said, "A dragon Martial Soul with the destruction attribute... I have lived for so many years, yet I have never seen or even heard of one. Judging by the strength of this aura, its quality is certainly no lower than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon—perhaps... it even surpasses it!"

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was already the sect-defending Martial Soul of the Upper Three Sects, the number one beast Martial Soul on the continent. This unknown purple-black dragon Martial Soul had an aura more domineering and terrifying than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. What rank could it possibly be?

Qian Xunji was stunned as well.

He had originally thought that even if Bibi Xu possessed some talent, he would at most have an ordinary high-grade Martial Soul. After all, he was a picked-up child. How good could his background possibly be?

But reality slapped him hard across the face. Not only did Bibi Xu have Twin Martial Souls, both were of top-tier quality, and one was an unprecedented destruction-attribute dragon Martial Soul.

This talent was not much inferior to Xue'er's.

The calm expression on Qian Daoliu's face vanished completely. He stared solemnly at the dragon phantom, his fingers tightening slightly.

He recognized it—the Purple Radiant Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon.

There had been scattered records of it in ancient texts. The Purple Radiant Heaven-Extinguishing Dragon wielded the power of destruction, and its combat strength reached the heavens. But its race had later been wiped out, its bloodline severed, and it had never appeared again.

Yet it had unexpectedly reappeared within this child.
