Twin Martial Souls
Douluo Continent, southwestern Heaven Dou Empire, Fasinuo Province, the Spirit Hall Branch in Holy Soul Village.
"Innate Full Soul Power!"
Su Yuntao, an inspecting deacon of Spirit Hall, looked at the six-year-old boy before him in mild surprise. He hadn't expected to come across someone with Innate Full Soul Power.
Unfortunately, his Martial Soul was the Trash Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass. Otherwise, he would definitely have been a genius! The higher one's innate Soul Power level, the higher one's starting point, and Innate Full Soul Power was undoubtedly the highest possible innate Soul Power.
"Uncle, what's Innate Full Soul Power?" the little boy asked, puzzled.
Su Yuntao stared at him blankly and explained without thinking, "When a person's Martial Soul awakens, its form determines whether it's powerful, but the amount of Soul Power they have is also crucial. Most people have no Soul Power when their Martial Souls awaken, just like those children before you. They're destined never to become Soul Masters. But as long as Soul Power appears, even if it's only a trace, they can cultivate through meditation... Innate Full Soul Power is the highest Soul Power one can innately achieve when one's Martial Soul awakens."
"The highest Soul Power?" The little boy looked at Su Yuntao in confusion.
Instead of acting as coldly as he had before, Su Yuntao smiled and continued his explanation.
The little boy listened intently, while another little boy standing beside them stared at them nervously.
Damn it, I've been here three years already. Why hasn't a system appeared yet? Wang Feng stared at Su Yuntao before him and Tang San beside him, feeling anxious.
He wasn't originally from the Douluo Continent. Three years ago, he had unexpectedly been reborn here, and Old Jack had found him and taken him in.
Over those three years, he had long since adapted to the environment and learned a fair amount about it. This place was called the Douluo Continent, and although it had no advanced technology, something called Soul Power existed between heaven and earth. If one could absorb Soul Power, one could cultivate. Here, Su Yuntao was helping them awaken their Martial Souls and checking whether they had Soul Power and could cultivate as Soul Masters.
Everyone was born with a Martial Soul, but not everyone necessarily had Soul Power. Like the children before them, who had Martial Souls but no Soul Power.
There were many professions on the Douluo Continent, but being a Soul Master was undoubtedly the best. Su Yuntao, for instance, carried himself with pride as a Soul Master and looked down on ordinary people.
There was one thing Wang Feng still hadn't gotten used to, though. Other people got systems or terrifying backgrounds when they were reborn or transmigrated, but he had ended up an orphan, without even a system. How was he supposed to bring glory to transmigrators?
"All right, you're next." Just then, Su Yuntao interrupted Wang Feng's thoughts.
Wang Feng came back to his senses and hurried forward. Su Yuntao immediately made his move, and a pale golden light shone, enveloping Wang Feng.
Soon, golden specks of light emerged once more within the golden barrier. The sight immediately perked up Su Yuntao, who had just opened his eyes.
There were actually more specks of light this time than there had been for Tang San. Just then, a pillar of golden light suddenly burst through the golden barrier and pierced through the wooden house.
"What!" Su Yuntao cried out.
Almost instinctively, Wang Feng raised his right hand. Black light then emerged, and a black spear slowly appeared in his palm.
This is my Martial Soul? Wang Feng was delighted. He had no system, but having a Martial Soul meant he could become a Soul Master and cultivate.
Wait, there's more? Wang Feng suddenly felt as though something was about to emerge from his left hand. He hurriedly raised it, and golden light appeared in his palm. A bow that looked as though it had been forged from pure gold appeared in his hand.
"Twin Martial Souls! Heavens! Such rare Twin Martial Souls!" Su Yuntao cried out at the sight of the two Martial Souls in Wang Feng's hands.
"Sir, what do Twin Martial Souls mean? Are they very rare?" Wang Feng asked Su Yuntao. Although he had learned about Martial Souls and Soul Power, he didn't know what having Twin Martial Souls meant.
Su Yuntao fixed his eyes on Wang Feng and uttered a single word: "Genius!" In truth, he could find no other word to describe Wang Feng. But he quickly calmed himself and continued, "On the entire Douluo Continent, I've only ever heard of Twin Martial Souls. This is the first time I've seen them with my own eyes."
Wang Feng's heart began to pound. Even Su Yuntao, who had long been a Soul Master, was seeing them for the first time. Didn't that mean Twin Martial Souls were extremely rare?
A glimmer flashed in Wang Feng's eyes. This was his golden finger: he had no system, but he had Twin Martial Souls.
"Come with me. A genius like you must be reported to Spirit Hall headquarters," Su Yuntao said, looking at Wang Feng.
Spirit Hall paid close attention to gifted children. Naturally, it would attach tremendous importance to someone with Twin Martial Souls like Wang Feng, and the matter had to be reported to the higher-ups at once. Su Yuntao knew full well that Wang Feng would definitely be sent to Spirit Hall's main hall to cultivate.
He wrote Tang San a certificate stating that he could cultivate. Although Tang San's Martial Soul was a Trash Martial Soul, he had Innate Full Soul Power and could cultivate after all. Su Yuntao didn't want to cut off Tang San's path, whether it turned out well or badly.
Su Yuntao then prepared to leave with Wang Feng, but just then, a powerful presence suddenly appeared, enveloping the entire wooden house.
Startled, Su Yuntao immediately released his two Soul Rings and his Martial Soul. "Who's there?" he demanded coldly. He didn't know whose presence it was, but it was powerful.
"Leave him here, and I'll let you go." A cold voice rang out, but no one could be seen.
Su Yuntao glanced at Wang Feng beside him, his brows knitting tightly. He naturally knew the voice was talking about Wang Feng, but he could never abandon him. These were Twin Martial Souls! If Spirit Hall learned that he had abandoned someone with Twin Martial Souls to save his own life, he would surely die.
"Impossible! He's already a member of Spirit Hall. You'd best think this through. Spirit Hall isn't something just anyone can afford to provoke." Su Yuntao invoked Spirit Hall's name. Although Spirit Hall's reach on the Douluo Continent was smaller than that of the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires, its power stood above the rest. Even the two great empires dared not provoke it.
"Hmph! Spirit Hall." The voice rang out again, exceptionally cold this time, as though it harbored a deep grievance against Spirit Hall. "Since you insist, then die!"
A strange shadow suddenly flickered before Su Yuntao's eyes. He immediately collapsed, and the other children in the room also fainted. Only Wang Feng and Tang San remained conscious.
Wang Feng and Tang San were both startled at the sight of the person who had suddenly appeared in the wooden house, because they knew him.
"Dad, you?" Tang San walked over and looked at his father in astonishment. He hadn't expected his father to be so powerful, or to be a Soul Master.
Wang Feng also stared intently at Tang San's father, Tang Hao. He was the village's only blacksmith, and no one knew he was a Soul Master. Wang Feng hadn't expected him not only to be a Soul Master, but a powerful one.
Tang Hao was staring at Wang Feng. Although his face was expressionless, Wang Feng felt a chill throughout his body, and even his soul trembled. He sensed extreme danger and had a feeling he might very well die here.
Although Tang Hao hid it well, Wang Feng, drawing on the experience of his previous life, still spotted a trace of killing intent in his eyes, directed at him.
Just then, Tang Hao suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Wang Feng.
Wang Feng sensed death, but before he could do anything, Tang Hao's finger touched his forehead. He immediately fell, his face gradually contorting and his body beginning to tremble violently.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Tang San asked nervously.
"His being alive is bad for you," Tang Hao said flatly. Then he swept his sleeve, scooped up Wang Feng and Su Yuntao from the ground, and headed outside.
"Dad, where are you taking them?"
"Throwing them away." With those words, Tang Hao vanished from sight.
