Li Xun gathered his thoughts and looked at Ning Fengzhi and the other two.
By now, Ning Yuan had already left.
Matters involving Martial Soul combinations were too sensitive for an outsider like him to overhear.
"Uncle Ning, I think there might be a misunderstanding. My ability is primarily about control."
"Look," Li Xun said, meeting their surprised gazes as he manipulated a sapling.
Under his command, the sapling swayed slightly from side to side. Though the movement was minimal, it was enough to prove that he truly had the ability to control plants.
Ning Fengzhi was initially slow to react.
He had just been discussing with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo about which Soul Beast would be best for Li Xun's first Spirit Ring.
After a long pause, he murmured, "I see... So your Martial Soul can also take a control-oriented path."
Chen Xin and Gu Rong's eyes lit up as well.
Compared to a healing-type Spirit Master, having a control-type Spirit Master in the sect was undoubtedly a better choice.
After all, what truly ensured the sect's safety for centuries was always formidable combat strength.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not short on money. If something really happened, they could always hire healing Spirit Masters.
Their real concern had always been the lack of successors after their time.
Now, the emergence of a potential powerhouse who could be nurtured from a young age was exactly what they had been hoping for.
"Also, Uncle Ning, I think I might have awakened two Martial Souls during my awakening."
Without giving them time to react, Li Xun extended his left hand. "But since everyone else only has one, I didn't show it."
Channeling his Soul Power, a kunai instantly appeared in his hand.
If he had a choice, Li Xun would never want to see this Martial Soul again.
Because he might be the first Hashirama Senju to be killed by a shuriken due to a problem with the Reanimation Jutsu.
But in this world, having a twin Martial Soul was a tremendous advantage. It would earn him Ning Fengzhi's attention and make him stronger than his peers.
"What? Twin Martial Souls?!"
"Seven Kill Domain, activate!" Chen Xin was startled and immediately unleashed his domain, enveloping the entire hall.
Within the domain, he was the absolute ruler, and no movement could escape his perception.
"It's actually... a twin Martial Soul!" Ning Fengzhi looked at the kunai in Li Xun's hand with disbelief.
Due to the limitations of his own Martial Soul, he had always been deeply invested in Martial Soul research.
He had read about twin Martial Souls in ancient texts.
Now, seeing someone who had truly awakened a twin Martial Soul, his mind was momentarily overwhelmed.
"Old Sword Man, it seems we were both mistaken," Gu Rong said, his face filled with astonishment.
"Xiao Xun, you did the right thing... Not just now, but in the future, you should never reveal your second Martial Soul in front of others."
Ning Fengzhi gave Li Xun a deep look. "Unless... by then, you've gained the strength to protect yourself."
Li Xun's precociousness far beyond his age made Ning Fengzhi take notice, though he didn't dwell on it.
Today had already brought him enough surprises.
The fact that Li Xun had revealed his twin Martial Soul to them meant that he had fully committed himself to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Uncle Ning, Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa," Li Xun addressed each of them.
Since he had decided to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, building closer relationships was essential.
"This is my second Martial Soul, named 'Kunai from Eight Hundred Meters Away.'"
"This Martial Soul can be used for both close combat and long-range attacks, and it also comes with an innate ability."
"No matter how much force I use to throw it, it will travel in a perfectly straight line within 800 meters. Beyond 800 meters, its trajectory depends on the force applied."
Li Xun opened his palm and gently pushed the kunai forward.
The kunai shot out from his hand as if it had been thrown with great force, speeding straight ahead.
Thud—
After a dull sound, everyone's gaze instinctively turned to where the kunai had landed.
They saw that the kunai had deeply embedded itself into the corner pillar of the hall.
The tail end of the kunai was perfectly level with Li Xun's palm.
"Traveling in a straight line within 800 meters regardless of the throwing force—what a bizarre ability."
Chen Xin raised an eyebrow at the sight. "Just the innate ability alone already surpasses my attack range. Xiao Xun, although I don't feel any pressure from your Martial Soul, its quality is likely close to the top tier."
Ning Fengzhi took a moment to calm himself before beginning to ponder the development of Li Xun's Martial Soul.
"That's right, the quality of this Martial Soul should be very high. Although it has the limitation of traveling in a straight line, Xiao Xun can use this ability to continuously wear down opponents from a distance."
"Moreover, it can be used in combination with the first Martial Soul."
"For example, using a control-type Martial Soul to restrict the enemy's movements, creating the perfect condition for the second Martial Soul to deliver a decisive strike."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes grew brighter as he spoke.
"And as Xiao Xun's level increases, adding Spirit Rings that enhance precision would allow the second Martial Soul to eliminate enemies from an ultra-long distance."
Li Xun nodded in agreement. Ning Fengzhi's knowledge was indeed profound, and the direction he provided was very sound.
It was often said that Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was the continent's foremost theoretical master, but many overlooked Ning Fengzhi.
As a fellow Martial Soul defect holder, how could Ning Fengzhi, the leader of a sect, have less knowledge about Martial Souls than Yu Xiaogang?
"However, dual Martial Souls also have their drawbacks."
"That is, when adding Spirit Rings to the second Martial Soul, it can conflict with the first Martial Soul."
"This places a burden on the body, and if not careful, it could lead to fatal consequences."
Ning Fengzhi expressed a hint of concern as he spoke. "But don't worry, Xiao Xun. Uncle Ning will definitely find a way to help you overcome this drawback."
"Until then, do not add any Spirit Rings to your second Martial Soul."
"Thank you, Uncle Ning."
Li Xun expressed his gratitude sincerely.
He knew his own situation well. The drawbacks of dual Martial Souls were insignificant in his eyes.
The powerful self-healing ability of Wood Release, Soul Bones, the Yin Yang Well, and Immortal Herbs—any one of these alone would allow his second Martial Soul to accommodate additional Spirit Rings.
But Ning Fengzhi's attitude made him feel very comfortable.
"Don't worry, my father will definitely help you solve it," Ning Rongrong chimed in, patting her chest confidently.
She had been standing by, watching the conversation unfold from the beginning.
When Li Xun first revealed his Innate Full Soul Power, she had felt a bit uneasy, fearing she might lose favor.
But when Li Xun's second Martial Soul was revealed, she was utterly shocked.
It was the first time she had heard of someone awakening two Martial Souls.
Especially when she saw the kunai shoot out from Li Xun's palm with such force.
Hearing her words, Li Xun smiled at Ning Rongrong. "Yes, I believe in Uncle Ning."
Now, Ning Rongrong was just six years old, still a tiny little girl, not yet spoiled into the person she would become a few years later.
Li Xun could clearly sense the goodwill from the other party.
"Haha, with Rongrong's words, Dad is sure to succeed."
Ning Fengzhi smiled as he glanced at Ning Rongrong, then turned to look at Li Xun: "Xiao Xun, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
"Although I may not be able to teach you much, I can do my utmost to assist you on your cultivation journey."
