Two Blue Silver Grasses, Two with Innate Full Soul Power

"I'll go first!"

Tang San, who had been worried that his martial soul awakening would be disrupted, immediately stepped forward and hurried over to Su Yuntao before Chu Chen could speak.

Once he was standing in the Hexagram Stone Array, he even lifted his chin at Chu Chen with a hint of smugness. What was he so pleased about?

Chu Chen had no idea.

Show off all you want. It's still just Blue Silver Grass. Until you reveal your Clear Sky Hammer, even your biological father won't give you the time of day...

Chu Chen curled his lip and settled in to watch.

Sure enough, after a burst of brilliant golden light, a sprig of Blue Silver Grass appeared in Tang San's right hand.

"Well, another useless martial soul. Looks like this trip to Holy Soul Village was a waste of time too."

Disappointed, Su Yuntao waved Chu Chen over.

"That's that, then. Come on, kid. You're the only one left—"

"Wait!"

Tang San was clearly unwilling to accept his Blue Silver Grass martial soul, especially after seeing the faint mockery in Chu Chen's smile.

"Sir, you haven't tested my Soul Power yet!"

Tang San hurried to remind him, but Su Yuntao did not even turn around.

"No need. I've never seen anyone with Soul Power awaken a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass..."

"Please let me try, sir!"

Tang San kept insisting, ignoring the impatience on Su Yuntao's face.

Su Yuntao was at a loss.

What was wrong with this kid? Did he not understand a word I said?

But it was his job, after all. Since Tang San insisted, Su Yuntao could only hold out the Crystal Ball with an impatient look.

"Fine, try it. It'll be a waste of—"

Before Su Yuntao could finish, the Crystal Ball burst with blue light and cut off his train of thought.

He froze for several seconds before drawing a sharp breath.

"Angel God above! Innate Full Soul Power?!"

But his astonishment was quickly followed by deep regret.

"Innate Full Soul Power is a talent you might see once in a century. What a shame it came with a useless martial soul... Such a waste..."

"All right, step aside. Someone else is waiting!"

"But..."

Tang San wanted to ask more, such as what Innate Full Soul Power meant, but Su Yuntao gave him no chance.

You've got to be kidding. I'm still on the clock. Who has time to explain all that?

If Tang San had been the last child, Su Yuntao might have given him a brief explanation once his work was done.

But right now?

Ha. Nothing matters more than finishing the job!

Especially when this kid can't take a hint...

With that thought, Su Yuntao pushed Tang San aside and beckoned to Chu Chen.

"You there, kid. Come on over. You're the only one left."

Chu Chen stepped forward at once. After entering the Hexagram Array, he bowed to Su Yuntao, whose face had gone a little pale.

"Thank you, sir. I appreciate your hard work!"

"Hey, you've got manners, unlike the kid just—"

Su Yuntao smiled and left it at that. He activated Martial Soul Possession once more and poured Soul Power into the stone array.

As six streams of Soul Power entered the array, pale golden light shone again.

Standing inside it, Chu Chen felt warmth spread through his body. The Three-Stage Dou Qi within him began to surge of its own accord.

Then, drawn by that warm energy, something inside him rushed toward his hands.

Not one hand. Both hands!

And each palm felt entirely different. His left felt gentle and soothing, while his right burned with heat!

Chu Chen's confidence surged. The sensation confirmed what he had suspected.

Under the laws of the Douluo Continent, his Dual Fire-Wood Attribute constitution had indeed become two different martial souls!

But I'd better hide the Twin Martial Souls... There's still a crazy Titled Douluo living in this village!

With that thought, Chu Chen raised his left hand.

Countless specks of light streamed out and gathered into a translucent green orb above his palm.

"Hm?"

Su Yuntao sounded puzzled.

"What kind of martial soul is that? I've never seen one like it."

Uh... Did something go wrong because my constitution was based on the Dou Qi Continent?

Dou Qi only distinguishes between attributes, doesn't it? So is this... an elemental martial soul?

That won't do. It's way too conspicuous!

Thoughts flashed through Chu Chen's mind. In that instant, he made his decision.

If it was a pure elemental martial soul, it should be possible to shape it. With his Second-Rank Alchemist level of Soul Force, he might just manage it.

Chu Chen immediately focused his mental energy and worked to reshape the green orb in his hand.

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, the orb began to twist and warp.

At last, it took on a shape everyone knew.

"Blue Silver Grass again?"

Su Yuntao cried out, then noticed something was off.

"But isn't Blue Silver Grass pale blue? Why is yours green? Could it be... a mutated martial soul?"

After a moment's surprise, Su Yuntao seemed to realize something and quickly held the Crystal Ball out to Chu Chen.

"Quick, kid! Let's test your Innate Soul Power!"

"You may have awakened a mutated martial soul. I don't know much about them, but martial soul quality is linked to Innate Soul Power. A test will tell us how good yours is!"

"Is that so?"

Chu Chen obediently placed his hand on the Crystal Ball. The next instant, it erupted with brilliant blue light.

It was nearly as bright as when Tang San had tested his Soul Power—perhaps even a shade brighter!

"What... Another child with Innate Full Soul Power?!"

Su Yuntao stared in disbelief, then turned an incredulous look on Old Jack.

"Village chief, there's something strange about Holy Soul Village. Why not rename it? Monster Village has a nice ring to it."

"I've visited six villages today without finding a single child with Soul Power. Yet your village has produced two, and both have century-rare Innate Full Soul Power. How does that make sense?"

"Of course it makes sense! Why wouldn't it?"

Old Jack grinned so broadly his gums showed, and even his hunched back straightened a little.

"Master Su, don't forget that a Soul Sage came from Holy Soul Village a hundred years ago. That's a legacy, understand?"

"Like hell I do. Who knows if that story's even true..."

Su Yuntao rolled his eyes at Old Jack, then crouched down and patted Chu Chen's head with a smile.

"Little guy, you've awakened a mutated martial soul and have Innate Full Soul Power, but... I'm afraid I have to temper your expectations."

"Even if your mutation is a beneficial one, your martial soul is still based on Blue Silver Grass. It's still... a useless martial soul!"

"So don't set your sights too high in the future. Understand?"
