Soul Power Reset to Zero

Dai Mubai knew that this had to be the pain caused by the Second Martial Soul merging with his body.

The system had warned him beforehand that his body might experience discomfort during the fusion with his Second Martial Soul.

Even so, he had never imagined that the so-called "discomfort" would be this painful.

"Fuck, it hurts, hurts, hurts... it's killing me!!"

Agonizing pain swept through his entire body. Veins bulged on Dai Mubai's skin, and cold sweat covered his forehead.

Dawn had yet to break. His roommate, the fatty Ma Hongjun, had gone out to visit a brothel and clear out his Evil Fire, so Dai Mubai was alone in the dormitory.

But he worried that shouting would draw the attention of the academy's teachers and lead them to discover what was unusual about him.

He had made up his mind.

For the time being, he would not reveal the secret of his Twin Martial Souls to anyone.

As for his Innate Full Soul Power talent, as long as he kept it to himself, no one else could possibly know about it.

When heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to a person, it must first temper his heart and will and toil his sinews and bones...

Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one rise above others...

Only by enduring pain that ordinary people cannot endure can one achieve what ordinary people cannot...

He thought of the cold-blooded, brutal system the Star Luo Imperial Family used to select an heir to the throne.

He thought of his dire circumstances: he had only a little over four years, less than five, before he had to fight a life-or-death battle against his eldest brother, the first prince.

And as long as he endured the pain of the Second Martial Soul's fusion, he would possess [Twin Martial Souls], and his natural aptitude would rise to its utmost limit.

At that thought, Dai Mubai clenched his teeth, constantly urging himself on in his heart and doing everything he could to bolster his spirits.

He did not know how much time had passed.

Dai Mubai kept his nerves taut, not daring to relax, while his body had grown somewhat numb from the intense pain of the Martial Soul fusion.

At last, the Second Martial Soul successfully fused with him.

Dai Mubai had only been an ordinary person in his previous life, yet he had endured the pain of the Second Martial Soul's fusion. His will truly had to be strong.

After all, pain was not the only thing he had to endure during the fusion.

There was also the intense weakness caused by his Soul Power being burned as fuel, depleting it and lowering his cultivation.

But he knew his own affairs best.

He had only been an ordinary person in his previous life, and his ability to endure the pain of the Second Martial Soul's fusion was not actually because his willpower was all that strong.

He simply treasured the opportunity before him.

He truly was desperate to advance!!

"System, show me my personal information panel." He felt that the fusion with his Second Martial Soul was complete.

The intense pain and exhaustion still lingered throughout his body.

Dai Mubai gave the system an order in his mind.

"Understood, host," the system replied. His personal information then appeared in the form of a panel.

--[Information panel]--

Host: Dai Mubai

Gender: Male

Age: 13

Martial Souls: [First Martial Soul · White Tiger], [Second Martial Soul · Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul]

Soul Power: Level 0

"Why has my Soul Power cultivation been reset to zero? And how did my Soul Rings and Soul Skills all disappear?!"

He had successfully drawn [Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul] as his Second Martial Soul and fused with it, gaining Twin Martial Souls.

Dai Mubai had been overjoyed and excited.

But when he summoned his personal attributes panel, he discovered that his Soul Power cultivation had been reset to zero, and both of his Soul Rings and Soul Skills had vanished.

He instantly felt as if the sky had fallen.

Before he drew and fused with the Second Martial Soul, the system had warned him that the fusion required energy and that his Soul Power cultivation might drop.

But it was only the fusion that required energy; he was not supplying all the energy needed to create the Second Martial Soul.

Thus, Dai Mubai had expected that even if he lost some Soul Power, it would not be much. At most, his Soul Power cultivation would drop by one or two levels.

But he had never imagined

that fusing with the Second Martial Soul would require so much energy.

Not only had it drained his level 27 Soul Power cultivation to zero,

it had even swallowed both of his Soul Rings.

Faced with this situation, Dai Mubai did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He now possessed Twin Martial Souls, and his Second Martial Soul was the god-level Martial Soul [Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul].

But to fuse with his Second Martial Soul, he had sacrificed both his Soul Power cultivation and his two Soul Rings.

"I can only hope the [Innate Full Soul Pill] pulls its weight and makes up for as much of the loss as possible."

"Otherwise, gaining a full 50 levels of Soul Power cultivation in a little over four years, less than five, might really be more grinding than I can manage."

Dai Mubai wanted to cry but had no tears.

Then, with a thought, he took the other treasure he had obtained from the beginner's treasure chest, the [Innate Full Soul Pill], directly from the system's storage space.

He had already drawn and fused with his Second Martial Soul, so there was no longer any need to worry about which of the two treasures to use first.

Thus, after taking out the pill, Dai Mubai tossed it straight into his mouth.

The pill was miraculous. Before Dai Mubai could even taste it,

it melted in his mouth, turning into a stream of mysterious, transformative power that surged into every part of his body.

If fusing with the Second Martial Soul had made Dai Mubai feel the pain of his body being torn apart and reassembled, along with the weakness of losing a great deal of Soul Power,

then, after taking the [Innate Full Soul Pill],

Dai Mubai felt as if his body were soaking in a hot spring.

His body was warm, and both body and mind were healed and cleansed from the inside out.

He felt an indescribable comfort and relaxation.

The pain and weakness he had felt while fusing with the Second Martial Soul were also rapidly receding.

As he felt the power within him gradually grow vast and full, the pain he had experienced during the fusion seemed like nothing more than an illusion.

The Innate Full Soul Pill not only improved his natural aptitude but also fortified his foundation and cleansed his sinews and marrow.

The body's original owner had spent nearly a year in dejection and indulgence since fleeing to the Heaven Dou Empire, leaving his body drained and overtaxed by wine and women. Now it was rapidly recovering.

His sinews and bones grew stronger, his vitality became abundant, and his Qi and blood flourished...

At the same time, the various impurities contained within his body were expelled by the Innate Full Soul Pill's great transformative power.

Yet those impurities, filth, and waste did not congeal on the surface of his body into a foul-smelling black layer of greasy grime.

The instant the filth and waste left his body, they were vaporized and purified.

Dai Mubai felt not the slightest discomfort; the entire process was thoroughly comfortable and enjoyable.

Even his clothes remained clean. Nothing disgusting, uncomfortable, disheveled, or embarrassing occurred.

He felt the warm, vibrant power within him gradually recede until it vanished entirely.

Dai Mubai slowly opened his tightly shut eyes. His mismatched eyes, one red and one blue, now shone brightly and brimmed with vitality.

It was as though he had "pulsed back."

"System, show me my personal information again," Dai Mubai ordered in his heart.

"Understood, host," the system replied, and Dai Mubai's personal information panel appeared.
