Chapter 36: You Are Actually a Twin Martial Soul Holder
"Strange... Is this the pull of Fate Energy?" The Three Eyed Golden Lion muttered.
"What? What do you mean by the pull of Fate Energy?" The Scarlet King panicked. His duty in Star Dou Forest was to protect the Auspicious Beast, ensuring that no harm befell her. But when it came to fate, he was utterly clueless.
The Auspicious Beast might be immune to tribulations, allowing her to live forever as long as she wished, but she was not without trials.
Could it be that her destined trial had arrived?
The Scarlet King suddenly had the urge to summon Di Tian for assistance after all, the Auspicious Beast was far too important. Nothing could be allowed to go wrong.
"No, this shouldn't be a trial... I just suddenly saw a vision of a human? But why would Fate Energy reveal him to me?" The Three Eyed Golden Lion fell into deep thought.
"A human? Did you see his face?" The Scarlet King cautiously asked. If the Auspicious Beast could describe the man, he would immediately discuss with Di Tian how to find him.
"I couldn't see clearly." The Three Eyed Golden Lion lay down on the grass and then asked curiously, "Scarlet King, what do you think human life is like?"
"I don't know much about human life, so I can't describe it... but I can tell you this humans are despicable, shameless, and evil!"
The Scarlet King's voice grew deeper, more serious. "They slaughter soul beasts to steal our soul rings and covet our soul bones! They have a deep seated blood feud with us!
"Remember this, only we are your friends! You must never trust humans!
"Curiosity about humans has led countless soul beasts to destruction. Those who became interested in humans and then sacrificed themselves for them all fell victim to human deceit!"
The Three Eyed Golden Lion listened but couldn't help drifting into thought.
From a soul beast's perspective, what the Scarlet King said wasn't wrong.
But... after hearing the same thing for so many years, it had started to feel repetitive.
Still, this was the first time she had experienced a disturbance in her Fate Energy.
Unbeknownst to her, a seed of curiosity had been planted in her heart.
"Who was that human?"
Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy
As soon as Huo Yuhao entered the academy, he headed straight for the principal's office.
He needed to display his martial soul to Jing Hongchen and further demonstrate his immense value.
Using his Spiritual Detection, he scanned his surroundings and quickly located the headmaster's office.
When he arrived, he found Jing Hongchen sitting in his chair, reading a book titled 'The Heroic Tale of Tang San.'
This book, written by the once glorious but now declining Tang Sect, depicted Tang San as a wise and noble warrior who, through his intelligence, righteousness, and power, defeated the evil Spirit Hall and saved Douluo Continent, ultimately ascending to godhood.
Jing Hongchen had picked up this book at an auction and, out of curiosity, had decided to read about the legendary god of the Tang Sect.
But the more he read, the more something felt off.
The Tang San in this book was just too perfect.
Not only was he an unparalleled powerhouse, but he was also a saintly moral figure.
Jing Hongchen acknowledged that Tang San was undoubtedly strong.
But a flawless human being? That was impossible.
Clearly, this book was nothing more than Tang Sect's self glorifying propaganda.
"Then again," Jing Hongchen mused, "the Sun Moon Empire does the same thing.
"Our historians portray every past emperor as a saint, even the one who lost a war and disgraced the empire over four thousand years ago. The official records blame it on 'corrupt ministers ruining the emperor's good intentions.'"
A wry smile appeared on his face.
Just then, Huo Yuhao entered the office and called out, "Headmaster."
"Yuhao? Isn't the holiday still ongoing? Why are you back early?"
Jing Hongchen looked at him with surprise.
Mingdu had numerous soul engineering academies, but none could compare to Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, the most prestigious and powerful of them all.
Though most academies had slightly different holiday schedules, Huo Yuhao's early return was still unusual.
"Headmaster, something happened to me..."
Huo Yuhao borrowed the original Huo Yuhao's excuse of his martial soul shattering, claiming it forced him to travel to the Extreme North. Of course, he modified the story slightly to fit his situation.
Then, right in front of Jing Hongchen, he revealed his second martial soul the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion.
Naturally, since everyone who had seen the real Ice Empress was dead, even Jing Hongchen couldn't recognize what it was.
All he saw was a scorpion martial soul emitting an incomparably extreme cold.
Frost spread across the office.
Jing Hongchen quickly activated a ninth tier defensive soul tool, sealing off the office from the outside world. Then, he stood up abruptly, his face filled with excitement.
"This temperature... and an Ice Jade Scorpion martial soul... without a doubt, this is Ultimate Ice!
"A genius! An absolute genius!
"Since the founding of the Sun Moon Empire, we have never had someone with both a twin martial soul and an Ultimate Attribute!"
Jing Hongchen gripped his fists.
"I must report this to Elder Kong!
"Yuhao, don't worry! The empire will spare no effort in nurturing you we will turn you into an Ultimate Douluo!
"This is truly Heaven's blessing upon our Sun Moon Empire!
"For now, do not attach any soul rings to your second martial soul.
"The empire will find a way to get you multiple one hundred thousand year soul rings!"
At present, the strongest soul engineer in the Sun Moon Empire was Kong Deming.
However, Kong Deming was only at Rank 94, meaning he was just a Title Douluo, not a Super Douluo.
He could only become a Rank 10 Soul Engineer after reaching Rank 95.
Even if Kong Deming eventually reached Rank 10 and the Sun Moon Empire unified the continent, he would still perish someday due to age.
But if the empire poured all its resources into grooming Huo Yuhao, he could potentially become both an Ultimate Douluo and a Rank 9 Soul Engineer.
That meant that once Kong Deming passed away, Huo Yuhao could inherit his position.
And when that happened, Jing Hongchen's own influence would skyrocket.
Becoming a Rank 10 Soul Engineer was unrealistic, even for Kong Deming.
But achieving Ultimate Douluo?
There were many precedents in history it was definitely possible.
"Thank you, Headmaster." Huo Yuhao smiled.
In truth, he wasn't particularly interested in getting more one hundred thousand year soul rings.
Instead, he would much rather obtain multiple one hundred thousand year soul spirits.
After all, soul spirits were far superior to soul rings.
In the original story, Electrolux was the founder of the soul spirit system.
However, Electrolux died far too early, leaving behind only a single soul spirit Snow Empress.
But now, Electrolux was still alive.
Which meant he would have plenty of time to refine and perfect the soul spirit system.
"Yuhao, you don't need to be so formal!" Jing Hongchen beamed.
"With your talent, you will raise the Sun Moon Empire to new heights!
"You will become our empire's greatest pride!"
