"Xiao Xiao... the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron and the Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute, right?"
Tang Chuan studied the seemingly timid yet very adorable Xiao Xiao before him, and the two exceptionally well-matched special martial souls she possessed immediately surfaced in his mind.
These two martial souls already make for an exceptionally powerful combination...
What a pity.
Xiao Xiao's eventual achievements in the original story didn't quite live up to her martial souls. Ultimately, she went down the wrong path in her cultivation.
Tang Chuan secretly rejoiced.
If he could change Xiao Xiao's fate just like this, the greater the change, the more rewards the system would bring, and the stronger that one strike could become.
"Show me your martial souls."
Tang Chuan nodded with a smile.
"Okay!"
Xiao Xiao nodded, then first summoned her Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron martial soul. Dense soul power erupted with a boom, with two yellow hundred-year soul rings circling it.
Then a melodious flute note rang out. Azure phoenixes seemed to circle Xiao Xiao's body as the Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute appeared!
"..."
Tang Chuan's mouth twitched as he looked at the hundred-year soul ring on the Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Flute.
Holy crap!
You actually put a hundred-year soul ring on your second martial soul!
"Your martial souls are excellent, with considerable potential, but unfortunately, your cultivation has taken the wrong direction."
Tang Chuan spoke.
Huo Yuhao stared at Tang Chuan in utter astonishment. He could tell her cultivation had taken the wrong direction after just one look at her martial souls?
That's my teacher for you!
"Is... is that really true?"
Xiao Xiao was a little startled. She looked down at her two martial souls. Wasn't one supposed to focus on defense and the other on support and control? How else could she cultivate them?
"Yuhao, you should know what I'm going to say, right?"
Tang Chuan turned to Huo Yuhao with a smile.
"Huh? Oh!"
Huo Yuhao nodded, then said to Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, Teacher really is amazing. He has twin martial souls too, so he must know how you should cultivate yours."
"But..."
Xiao Xiao immediately grew anxious and hurried to ask.
"Class monitor, what is it?"
Huo Yuhao grew serious. "Teacher only passes his theoretical knowledge on to those who take him as their master. He already has two disciples now: me and Teacher Xiaoya."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Huo Yuhao froze.
Tang Chuan's voice quietly sounded in his mind.
"Not quite..."
"Yuhao, you should understand the difference between a personal disciple and an ordinary disciple. You were the first person I met, so naturally, you're different from the others."
Tang Chuan's words immediately moved Huo Yuhao.
So I, good old Huo, am the most special one!
[Disciple Huo Yuhao was moved, believing himself to be the host's most special disciple. His reverence deepened. The host received: Twin Souls Co-Soul Method.]
Twin Souls Co-Soul Method?
Tang Chuan had not expected such a pleasant surprise. He did know something about this so-called Twin Souls Co-Soul Method.
It's essentially soul power from the same source!
The twin martial souls would no longer be divided into first and second. Instead, the same-source soul power cultivated within oneself could seamlessly unleash both martial souls. One could even gather an attack with the first martial soul, then instantly switch to the second martial soul to unleash it.
It achieved an absolutely perfect transition.
Whatever I need really does come right to me.
Tang Chuan felt utterly satisfied.
Everyone present...
Had at least two martial souls, so this Twin Souls Co-Soul Method was clearly suitable for every one of them!
But that little Wang Dong is so prickly. Let's see how long you can hold out. The more I change other people's fates, the more my strength increases. And speaking of fate...
Tang Chuan smiled mysteriously.
What could be bigger than changing the fates of Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er?
Coming back to her senses.
Xiao Xiao immediately understood what Huo Yuhao meant and stepped forward earnestly. "Tang Grandmaster, please take me as your disciple too!"
"Since you're Yuhao's friend, of course I can."
Tang Chuan slowly rose, smiling.
"Really?"
The little girl Xiao Xiao was beside herself with joy.
"Your disciple Xiao Xiao pays her respects, Teacher!"
Wang Dong teased from the side, "Yuhao, Xiao Xiao is your junior sister now."
"Looks like it."
Huo Yuhao scratched his head rather sheepishly.
"All right, it's time for Grandmaster Tang Chuan's secret lesson. Outsiders can go back to bed."
Tang Chuan spoke with a perfectly straight face.
"..."
Wang Dong's mouth twitched. "Hey! Who are you calling an outsider? I'm a member of the Tang Sect now too, aren't I? I'm staying here in the Tang Sect. What are you going to do about it?"
"I don't even want to listen. I don't want to hear it at all."
Wang Dong gave a little huff, turned, and walked into the Tang Sect Residence. Tang Chuan could not help laughing.
"Uh... Teacher, Wang Dong is a little prickly."
Huo Yuhao felt embarrassed too.
"Don't worry. This is exactly how you handle someone prickly. Xiao Xiao, now that you've taken me as your master, I'll teach you a special cultivation method as a gift to mark the occasion."
Tang Chuan looked at Xiao Xiao, who immediately nodded seriously.
"Oh, Teacher, Yuhao said you have twin martial souls too. Could you show me? Hehe..."
Xiao Xiao asked with a sweet laugh.
"!!!"
Huo Yuhao was immediately alarmed. Had he let something slip? Tang Chuan wanted to hide his identity, yet he had now gotten Tang Chuan asked to display his twin martial souls?
The Blue Silver Emperor plus the Clear Sky Hammer.
Even an idiot would know who he was, right?
"Of course."
Yet Tang Chuan seemed not the slightest bit reluctant. Blue-gold light burst from his hand, and a brand-new Blue Silver Emperor appeared before Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao.
Boom!
Then space seemed to freeze. Thunder cracked, and a small black hammer slowly floated out of Tang Chuan's hand. It was the Clear Sky Hammer!
"What powerful martial souls! And why do they feel exactly like those of the legendary Sea God Tang San...?"
Though innocent, Xiao Xiao was exceptionally clever.
How could she fail to guess?
They're both surnamed Tang, and he's here in the Tang Sect... surely not...
Xiao Xiao shook her head. That was far too inconceivable. Perhaps it was just a coincidence. It probably was...
"The Clear Sky Hammer?!"
Hidden in the shadows, secretly watching, Wang Dong was so startled that she fell flat on her backside. Just who was this Tang Chuan? How could he possess the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul?!
"That's impossible. There's absolutely no such person in the Clear Sky Sect."
Wang Dong hurriedly denied it. She herself came from the Clear Sky Sect, yet she had never heard of anyone there named Tang Chuan, much less someone with twin martial souls consisting of Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer!
"Who exactly is he...?"
Wang Dong stood up, staring at Tang Chuan in shock.
Meanwhile, Tang Chuan was demonstrating the so-called Twin Souls Co-Soul Method to Xiao Xiao. The Blue Silver Emperor continuously gathered an attack, its life energy dazzling and radiant.
Boom-!
Then the soul power gathered by the Blue Silver Emperor abruptly shifted, switching seamlessly to the Clear Sky Hammer. Waves of destruction erupted in an instant.
