Black Abyss White Flower

Jing Liu gave a slight nod, then condensed a longsword forged from ice in her hand and slowly inserted it into the six-pointed star array.

At the same time, an endless stream of extreme ice-attribute Soul Power poured into the array.

As the six-pointed star array bloomed with dazzling white light, Lu Jingming instantly felt a warm force flow into his body.

At the same time, a black-and-white radiance within him followed that warm current and slowly merged into his body and bloodline.

Lu Jingming could clearly sense that something deep within his body was ruthlessly devoured by that black-and-white light, then replaced.

Yet he did not panic. Everything had gone according to his expectations. This black-and-white radiance was the origin of the Sixth Divine Key from the game "Honkai Impact 3rd"—the Key of Creation: Black Abyss White Flower—materialized using a vast amount of True Power.

According to The Great Black Tower's research, humans in this world possessed Martial Souls in countless forms, each different from the next. Yet without exception, they all lay hidden within their bloodlines and were passed down through the generations.

With The Great Black Tower's assistance, Lu Jingming implanted the origin of Black Abyss White Flower into his own bloodline. This way, at the crucial moment of Martial Soul awakening, Black Abyss White Flower could devour the Martial Soul originally inherited through this body's bloodline, replacing the Lu Family's inherited Martial Soul and becoming his own unique new Martial Soul.

After all, Martial Soul awakenings were full of uncertainty and chance. If he awakened some useless trash Martial Soul, Lu Jingming would have a real headache. He had never believed the saying that there were only useless Soul Masters, not useless Martial Souls.

After all, if the person who said that had not encountered a fortunate opportunity and obtained heavenly treasures to aid them, they would have struggled to break through to the Soul Elder realm for their entire life.

In truth, the quality of one's Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power had a tremendous impact on a Soul Master's future development from the very beginning. Many things could not be easily changed through effort alone.

Countless people in this world worked hard, but those who truly achieved fame and success were always the rare few blessed with extraordinary fortune—one in ten thousand.

The Martial Soul originally inherited by the Lu Family was, at best, merely a high-grade Martial Soul. Lu Jingming was not satisfied with it.

Since that was the case, he decided to replace his Martial Soul entirely. With the immense power contained within Black Abyss White Flower, once it became a Martial Soul, it was destined to be an exceedingly rare god-grade Martial Soul.

Sure enough, everything unfolded as he had expected. When the black and white light gradually condensed over his hands, Lu Jingming felt an unprecedented sense of comfort spread throughout his body, as though he were bathing beneath the warm spring sun.

At the same time, powerful Soul Power fluctuations spread out from him, stirring up considerable ripples in the air.

Sensing those immense Soul Power fluctuations, Jing Liu and Chang Li's lips unconsciously curved upward in gratified smiles.

With their formidable strength, they did not need a Soul Power testing device to accurately determine that Lu Jingming possessed Innate Full Soul Power.

Zhang Lexuan, standing nearby, also looked at Lu Jingming with a face full of delight. Though she had never cared much about the level of his talent, outstanding talent was never a bad thing, and she was naturally happy for him.

Soon, the white light from the six-pointed star array gradually faded, and this deeply meaningful Martial Soul awakening ceremony came to a successful end.

At that moment, Lu Jingming held a black lance and a white lance in his hands.

In his left hand was a pure white Knight's Lance. Its shaft had smooth, elegant lines, and its surface was coated in a gleaming white metallic sheen, radiating a sacred and pure aura. It was White Flower, the symbol of life and the Power of Creation.

In his right hand was a lance as black as an abyss. Its profound darkness seemed capable of swallowing all light, emanating a mysterious and powerful aura of destruction. This was Black Abyss, representing destruction and Decomposition Power.

"Is this... Twin Martial Souls?" Zhang Lexuan could not help blinking. Her soft red lips parted slightly in surprise, her eyes filled with astonishment.

"That's right, Twin Martial Souls!" Lu Jingming tightly gripped the two lances in his hands, unable to hide the delight in his eyes.

Originally, he had only hoped to replace the Lu Family's unremarkable inherited Martial Soul. He had never expected that after Black Abyss White Flower merged into his bloodline and became his Martial Soul, it would manifest in the astonishing form of Twin Martial Souls.

This was undoubtedly a huge and unexpected windfall. Though Twin Martial Souls were no longer as rare in this era of the Peerless Tang Sect as they had been ten thousand years ago, their advantages were still not to be underestimated.

Simply being able to absorb nine more soul rings than an ordinary Soul Master meant that the resulting Soul Power feedback alone could raise a practitioner's Soul Power by several levels, greatly saving the long years required for cultivation.

Especially after a Soul Master broke through to become a Titled Douluo, they only needed to add soul rings to their second Martial Soul to rapidly increase their cultivation, allowing them to break through to the powerful realm of a Super Douluo in a comparatively short time.

"Congratulations, Little Ming! Twin Martial Souls, and Innate Full Soul Power too! Your talent is so much greater than your big sister's!" Zhang Lexuan's cheeks flushed with excitement, her eyes brimming with joy and pride.

Though she had long since set her heart on Lu Jingming, what woman would not hope that her future partner possessed extraordinary strength and talent?

"What, are you disappointed that your disciple's Martial Soul isn't a sword?" Chang Li cradled the Pink-haired little fox as she walked lightly to Jing Liu's side, smiling as she teased her softly.

Jing Liu gently shook her head and reached out with slender fingers to tenderly stroke the Little Fox's head.

It seemed that even someone as cold and aloof as her could not resist the charm of such an adorable little creature.

"It doesn't matter. How could swordsmanship be constrained by such an inconvenience?" In Jing Liu's eyes, weapons were merely aids. No matter what weapon Lu Jingming wielded, it would not hinder him from learning swordsmanship.

"Oh, looks like the awakening was a success." Inside a research chamber brimming with technological sophistication, all manner of strangely shaped instruments flickered with faint light, giving off a mysterious air.

The Great Black Tower stared intently at the floating Soul Guiding Crystal before her without even blinking. Without turning her head, she already knew who had arrived.

After all, at this point in time, Lu Jingming was the only person who had permission to enter the laboratory and would come here.

"Did you never consider that my Martial Soul awakening might fail this time?" Lu Jingming looked at the brown-haired girl sitting elegantly in her chair. Filled with curiosity, he could not help asking.

"What a joke! With this genius personally involved, how could it possibly fail?" Hearing that, The Great Black Tower finally turned around slowly.

She wore an exquisite pointed witch's hat, its brim tilted slightly, adding just the right touch of mystery and playful charm to her presence.

Her face resembled a finely crafted work of art, with exquisitely delicate features. She possessed both the sweet innocence of a young girl and the calm rationality unique to a scientist.

At that moment, her expression carried a trace of faint indifference, as though nothing in the world could stir much emotion within her.

Her carefully designed purple-and-black gown perfectly outlined her graceful figure.

The hem was cleverly adorned with glittering starlight patterns, giving the dress both an air of noble elegance and a distinctive futuristic, sci-fi style.

Paired with black stockings and leather boots, her legs appeared even more sleek and slender, while every movement she made exuded elegance and beauty.
