Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 61. Although you no longer have a father, you still have me. You can completely treat me as your own...

"Ice Jade Scorpion!"

Jing Hongchen exclaimed in surprise. Even though he had been the head of Mingde Hall for many years and held a high position in the Sun Moon Empire, he was able to remain calm no matter what happened. But this time was an exception.

As Xiao Qiang's teacher, he knew that Xiao Qiang possessed terrifying talent as a Soul Master and a top-tier Body Martial Soul.

Xiao Qiang's top-tier martial soul is enough to allow him to cultivate to the title of Douluo. His ability to create soul tools across two major realms could make it possible for him to create a level 10 soul tool and become a level 10 soul tool master at the title of Douluo stage.

Therefore, after Xiao Qiang demonstrated his talent and it was confirmed that there were no problems with his background, Jing Hongchen immediately used real and good things to bring Xiao Qiang onto the Hongchen family's chariot, preparing to add a powerful Soul Master to the Hongchen family's future.

As a result, after being away for so long, Xiao Qiang not only reached the highest level of Soul Master talent, but also the highest level of Soul Spirit Master talent.

In Jing Hongchen's memory, only his teacher Kong Deming had succeeded in making soul tools when he was young, even though he was two major realms above. But at that time, he only made relatively ordinary soul tools, not the kind of soul tool that was known to be extremely difficult to make, like the milk bottle.

As for Xiao Qiang's twin martial souls, which consist of a top-tier main body martial soul and an ultimate martial soul, Jing Hongchen had never even seen such a thing before, let alone imagined it existed.

"What exactly happened? Isn't your martial soul an eye? How come you have an Ice Jade Scorpion?"

Jing Hongchen tried his best to speak calmly, but the excitement in his voice was hard to completely hide. An unprecedented genius had already been brought into the Hongchen family by him. What could be more gratifying than this?

"This is a long story, teacher. Please calm down and I'll explain it to you slowly."

Xiao Qiang and Jing Hongchen sat facing each other, and then Xiao Qiang began to imitate Huo Yuhao in making up stories.

"Teacher, do you still remember my third soul skill?"

Jing Hongchen nodded. "Mental detection, and with the enhancement of your martial soul, you can even share what you detect with others. In a sense, this can also be considered a talent soul skill."

"What does the teacher think of this soul skill?"

"A top-tier Soul Master's Soul Skill. Just for the Mental Detection ability alone, I would even trade my eighth Soul Skill for this ability. What's more, you can share the results of this Mental Detection with others. The only pity is that the Soul Skill is only at the thousand-year level, which is a slight disappointment."

"Teacher, do you know where I obtained this soul skill?"

"It's not the Sun Moon Empire. Considering the thousand-year-level spirit rings, it should be the Star Dou Great Forest or the declining Sunset Forest."

As Jing Hongchen spoke, it was clear that Mingde Hall's intelligence network outside the Sun Moon Empire was not strong.

"It's the Star Dou Great Forest, but teacher, do you know why I went there?"

"I don't know. Logically speaking, you shouldn't have any connection with the Star Dou Great Forest."

"That's right, I am from the Sun Moon Empire, and I awakened my martial soul in the Sun Moon Empire. The place where I grew up was almost destined to have no news about the Star Dou Great Forest, but at the moment I awakened my martial soul, my Sharingan captured a bit of information in the dark."

"The information at the time was unclear and I didn't know what was going on. I just had a feeling that I needed to reach level 30 as soon as possible to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain something that would be of great benefit to me."

"I don't know the specifics, but my intuition told me I should do it. So when my soul power reached level 30, I went to the Star Dou Great Forest. The result was obvious. I originally had a Sharingan with only one tomoe, but after obtaining my third soul ring, it evolved directly into a Sharingan with two tomoe and I gained the soul skill of Mental Detection. The enhanced Sharingan also allowed me to share what I detected."

"As it turns out, it was absolutely right of me to act according to the intuition that my Sharingan gave me. I gained a spirit detection soul skill, and with it came the talent of a top genius in soul tools."

Jing Hongchen nodded; these were things he knew and had seen.

"I don't know whether what the Sharingan sees comes from the threads of fate or something else, but after this experience, I have more faith in what the Sharingan occasionally sees."

"So, after my Sharingan evolved to the three-tomoe stage, and when my Sharingan saw things that were invisible and intangible again, I chose to trust my eyes once more and followed the guidance they gave me to the far north."

"The far north? It's not safe there. Even though I was busy, you could at least have asked a teacher to go with you."

Xiao Qiang shook his head. "No, I have to go alone to do this. This is a feeling the Sharingan gives me."

"Having learned from my previous experience, there was nothing to hesitate about this time. I bought some things just in case and then headed there."

"As it turns out, the Sharingan's intuition was right; this is something I really have to do alone, without bringing anyone else along."

What did you encounter?

"A scorpion, a scorpion that was entirely green. After I reached the far north, my mental detection allowed me to see a scorpion whose life was about to come to an end."

"Ice Jade Scorpion? Wait, your second martial soul is the Ice Jade Scorpion, could it be related to him?"

"That's right, or more accurately, he became my second martial soul."

"A soul beast becoming a martial soul? Is that even possible?" Jing Hongchen said subconsciously.

"Normally it's impossible, but I'm a perfect example."

"Indeed, please continue."

"When I saw that giant scorpion and felt its aura, which was even stronger than that of Teacher Jingyun, my first reaction was to run away. But then my Sharingan gave me a warning. I could feel that my Sharingan was making me share the spirit with that scorpion."

"After hesitating for a moment, I finally chose to trust my Sharingan once again. After confirming that there was a certain distance, I used simulation to conceal my figure and then used mental sharing on the scorpion."

"With the sharing of consciousness, I can clearly sense the consciousness of even a thousand-year-old soul beast. And the meaning of that soul beast, which is clearly over ten thousand years old, will become even clearer with the sharing of consciousness, and it can almost be translated into human language."

"What did it say?"

"Save me, I don't want to die."

Hyotei: "..." When did I become such a coward?

"The survival instinct of a soul beast when it's on the verge of death? It seems a bit like grasping at straws in desperation."

After Jing Hongchen finished speaking, Xiao Qiang continued to explain, "After sensing her strong will to survive, and combined with the special abilities of my Sharingan, I gradually understood the purpose of the Sharingan bringing me here."

"So I used mental sharing to transmit my consciousness to her, telling her that there was a way for her to continue living. As long as she became my spirit ring and martial soul, my Sharingan could help her retain her own consciousness after becoming a spirit ring, so that she would not die immediately."

"Does the Sharingan really have this ability?"

"Yes, or to be more precise, my Sharingan has this ability. Currently, apart from me, there shouldn't be any other three-tomoe Sharingan in the world."

"So it's in your mental sea now? Is that alright?"

"It's alright. My spiritual sea is my home turf. Even if someone's spiritual power is more than ten times stronger than mine, the best outcome they can achieve in my spiritual sea is to perish together with me."

"As for situations where no one is ten times stronger than me, I have absolute control, so there's no need to worry about what she can do."

"That's good." Jing Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief, but then he immediately sensed something was wrong. "Wait a minute, someone stronger than Jing Yun... Although the Ice Jade Scorpion is a very talented soul beast, if its aura is significantly stronger than Jing Yun's, its age must be at least 50,000 years. Can you absorb a soul ring of that level?"

"Normally, it shouldn't be possible, but obviously that Ice Jade Scorpion is much more anxious than I am. She's more worried that something might happen to me, so..."

Xiao Qiang raised his arms, and his forearms and palms lit up with a gem-like green light.

"A soul bone! And not just one soul bone!"

"That's right. With my Sharingan, I can ensure that his consciousness will not dissipate for a while. She chose to create a soul bone to fuse with me first, and then let me fuse with her soul ring."

"Thanks to the enhancement of the soul bone and her desperate suppression of her own energy, the process of her becoming my soul ring, soul bone, and martial soul was relatively safe."

"The Sharingan's power combined with the survival instinct of a dying soul beast can actually create twin martial souls? This should be a novel thing even in Shrek Academy."

"It might not be novel, but rather that they've never experienced this before." Without Tianmeng, Xiao Qiang really couldn't imagine how Huo Yuhao would obtain a second martial soul. Huo Yuhao had never awakened a second martial soul, and even with Shrek Academy's teaching abilities, they probably couldn't do something like planting a second martial soul.

"Indeed, it requires not only the Sharingan's abilities but also a powerful, dying soul beast. Combining so many things together makes this a truly difficult task."

Jing Hongchen nodded, then looked at Xiao Qiang again, this time with a different look in his eyes.

Originally, Xiao Qiang's martial soul and talent in soul tools were no less than his grandson Xiao Hongchen's, and his talent in soul tools was even stronger.

Back then, Xiao Qiang was someone he could win over with great effort, so he offered him many truly good things. But now, with twin martial souls, both of which are top-tier, plus a second martial soul and first soul ring of at least 50,000 years, this is no longer someone worth winning over with great effort, but someone worth winning over with all his might.

"Xiao Qiang, I heard that your parents have passed away."

"Yes."

"Poor child, it must be tough for him to support his family at such a young age."

"It's alright now, after all, I have your support, teacher."

Jing Hongchen nodded, then took off the mask he had been wearing, revealing his true appearance to Xiao Qiang.

"Don't worry, those sad things are all in the past. Even though you don't have a father anymore, you still have me. You can rely on me as your father."

Xiao Qiang: "..."
