Even with a System, There Were Still Two "Old Grandpas"

Whale Rubber was an indispensable cheat item for Soul Masters in the early stages of cultivation! Though nobles used it as an aphrodisiac for bedroom pleasures, it could strengthen a Soul Master's body. For martial artists, it could increase blood flow, maintain an excited state, and provide greater stamina.

The Wang Family, which owned Notting City's largest martial arts hall, naturally had some in stock. Wang Tianyi headed straight for his target, and soon, two black lumps appeared in his hands.

One piece of Forty-year Whale Rubber and one piece of Century-old Whale Rubber.

Without hesitation, Wang Tianyi set his sights on the Century-old Whale Rubber. He summoned his Qi Tian Martial Soul, his fur growing wildly as his body became tall and lean. The Great Sage's attire settled over him, making him look truly imposing!

For the Great Sage, flames were merely one of the most basic abilities!

The reason a Transcendent God-Tier Martial Soul could be called a Transcendent God-Tier Martial Soul was that, the instant it awakened, the system had informed Wang Tianyi that he had inherited all the abilities of Sun Wukong and the Six-Eared Macaque. However, his Soul Power was still too weak to use certain profound powers. Even so, he had already mastered basic abilities such as divine power, the Indestructible Vajra Body, and fire control.

Wang Tianyi opened his mouth and spat out a small cluster of flames, which quickly attached themselves to the Whale Rubber.

"Samadhi True Fire! The divine ability mastered by the Great Sage can only count as one ten-thousandth of Samadhi True Fire in my hands at most... but it's enough!"

Under Wang Tianyi's gaze, the Century-old Whale Rubber melted at a visible rate. In the end, it became a golden gelatinous substance that gave off waves of fragrance. Wang Tianyi swallowed it without hesitation. He had been prepared to endure the scorching sensation, but after waiting for a long while, there was no reaction at all.

"What the hell is this?"

A huge black question mark seemed to slam down on Wang Tianyi's head. He waited a while longer, then even pulled down his pants... to test things out. There was no problem whatsoever. That made it even stranger.

System, what's going on? Why don't I react to Whale Rubber?

When in doubt, ask the system. That could never be wrong.

[The proud Sun Wukong and the unruly Six-Eared Macaque reject the energy of such trash! According to the power hierarchy of the Douluo Continent, only Immortal-grade Herbs can affect the host. If the host wishes to use Whale Rubber to strengthen the body, it must be at least eighty thousand years old!]

The system's answer left Wang Tianyi dumbfounded. So the Whale Rubber he had eaten had merely given him a taste? Eighty thousand years—where was he supposed to find that? And according to the system, ordinary heavenly treasures were completely useless to him. Only items that reached the immortal grade could raise his Soul Power—his Martial Soul was simply too powerful. As a result, the quality of the Soul Power within his body was also extremely high. Although he was only level ten now and did not even have a single Soul Ring, his Soul Power reserves were already no weaker than those of a level-twenty Soul Grandmaster.

His idea of giving himself a small cheat had fallen through, but Wang Tianyi did not feel disappointed! The reason was simple: it proved that his Martial Soul was unimaginably powerful. That was more in line with the Great Sage's strength.

Right, System, do you have any way to solve the pain in my head? I can't sleep at all like this!

The pain in his mind constantly affected Wang Tianyi. He wanted to get rid of it, but the system's answer filled him with despair.

[A Transcendent God-Tier Martial Soul is a path to heaven, but Twin Super-God-level Martial Souls are both a blessing and a curse. Qi Tian and Six Ears are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, incompatible like water and fire. At every moment, they want to kill each other! The system has no solution, but host, do not worry. There are naturally benefits as well!]

[Has the host not noticed that your Spiritual Sea has already been opened?]

Spiritual Sea?

Wang Tianyi froze, then quickly sank his consciousness into his Inner World. Sure enough, his Spiritual Sea had already appeared. This was something many ordinary Soul Masters could not open even in their entire lives, yet he had achieved it in only one afternoon. His spiritual power was already terrifyingly powerful!

But Wang Tianyi's Spiritual Sea was far more than that. It had been divided into two halves: one was a sky illuminated by a blazing golden sun, while the other was a dark night lit by a purple mysterious moon! One golden and one black streak of light constantly pulled apart before colliding again. The clang of metal echoed throughout the Spiritual Sea, and with every collision, Wang Tianyi's Spiritual Sea expanded visibly by another fraction. It was practically a miracle! (For a detailed image, please refer to the cover of this book.)

Where did this brat come from? Are you trying to have your soul scattered?

Young man, this is not a place you can enter yet! Leave at once!

A familiar pair of voices rang out, and Wang Tianyi was immediately kicked out of his own Spiritual Sea. How absurd was that? He had been kicked out of his own Spiritual Sea by someone else!

Before he could even complain, Wang Tianyi's pupils contracted sharply.

System, he, they...

[Just as the host suspects, the Transcendent God-Tier Martial Souls Qi Tian and Six Ears possess their own consciousness! They were condensed from two-thirds of the Innate Full Soul Power that should originally have been at level thirty! However, they will not interfere with the host's actions...]

After hearing the system's explanation, Wang Tianyi could only marvel.

So not only did he have the system as a super cheat, he also had two "old grandpas"?

[Once the host possesses a Martial Soul Avatar, you may freely invite Qi Tian or Six Ears to possess your body! Before then, please stabilize your mind and do not allow the two Transcendent God-Tier Martial Souls to affect your mentality. At the same time, remember the path of balance!]

[The power of a Transcendent God-Tier Martial Soul extends far beyond this. The host will learn of it in time!]

That night, Wang Tianyi tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. It was not only because of the pain, but even more because of his excitement!

A system, Twin Super-God-level Martial Souls, Innate Full Soul Power, two old grandpas...

Come to think of it, wasn't the name Douluo Continent a little too tacky? Should he rename it Tianyi Continent someday? That sounded pretty good.

His emotions remained high until they gradually calmed. The Great Sage and Six Ears in his mind seemed to have settled down somewhat, and the pain was no longer as intense. They probably needed rest too, right?

Thus, Wang Tianyi fell asleep from sheer exhaustion. Yet even as he slept, the pain in his mind still made him furrow his brow tightly.

When Wang Tianyi opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning. Although he had slept for only three hours, there was no trace of exhaustion on his face.

He was suffering torment, but his Spiritual Sea was expanding every moment. In fact, as long as one's spiritual power was strong enough, it did not matter even if a Soul Master never slept.

After washing up, Wang Tianyi, who had never risen this early before, took the initiative to prepare breakfast. His cooking was quite good, and the rich aroma woke Wang Chen.

After father and son happily ate breakfast together, Wang Tianyi took over the task of washing the dishes while Wang Chen went to prepare the necessities for entering the Soul Beast Forest.

Their target this time was the Soul Beast Forest where Yu Xiaogang and Tang San encountered the Datura Snake. Unfortunately, there were still several days before the Junior Soul Master Academy began, so that encounter was impossible for now. But Wang Tianyi was not in a hurry.

What was meant to come would come sooner or later.

For some reason, whenever he thought that Tang San was supposed to be the protagonist of this world, Wang Tianyi felt a surge of defiance. He wanted to compete with Tang San, but he also had a violent urge to smash Tang San to pieces directly.

Child of destiny?

Favored by heaven itself?

Then he would pierce the heavens!
