Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 73 Twin Martial Souls? (4000 words)

Just as Ning Feiliu stepped onto the Soul Battle Stage, it seemed that her opponent Liu Ba and the spectators watching the battle only then realized that Ning Feiliu's age seemed...

It's quite small?

Although his face was covered by a mask, Ning Feiliu's height and build still revealed that he was not very old.

At least, he is definitely not over eighteen years old.

"This little kid... is already a Soul Master. It seems he's a student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy..." a spectator in the audience began to discuss.

"Let's see if this kid is a good-for-nothing. The previous one didn't work out," said another audience member next to him. "He got completely humiliated. I haven't seen him here in a long time."

"There are a few strong kids from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, such as Yu Tianheng from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and Yu Feng, who have both achieved ten consecutive victories in Soul Battle."

"Those few are ultimately a minority; most kids who graduate from academies don't start out well."

It seems that it is quite common for students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to participate in Soul Battles at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

They also regarded Ning Feiliu, who had broken through to the Soul Venerable level at a young age of less than eighteen, as a student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

After all, within Tiandou City, only the Tiandou Royal Academy has such outstanding students.

In the original storyline, the participants in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament were mostly around twenty years old, with the oldest being no more than twenty-five.

If one can break through to the Soul Master level around the age of 20, one is already an absolute main force in top-tier teams like Tianshui, Chihuo, Shenfeng, and Leiting.

Even in the Four Elements Academy, only two or three members broke through to the Soul Master level around the age of twenty.

Therefore, those who break through to the Soul Master level before the age of twenty can already be considered outstanding Soul Masters in top-tier Soul Master academies.

Like Tailong, the strongest of the four substitutes in the original story, Tailong was already twenty-three or twenty-four years old when he appeared, but he only had a soul power of level thirty-seven.

But he was already the top student of the original Blue Tyrant Academy, and later Shrek Academy, which was resurrected through a body.

It can only be said that although the Shrek Seven Devils all broke through to the Soul Master level at the age of fourteen or fifteen, it is because they not only have top-notch talents, but also ate the immortal herbs given to them by Tang San.

Even the most outstanding geniuses can only break through to the Soul Master level around the age of 20, just like Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan in the original story.

In the eyes of the audience, Ning Feiliu, who is not yet eighteen years old, already has the cultivation of a Soul Venerable and is definitely the pride of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Only the Heaven Dou Royal Academy could produce such a talented Soul Master.

"Are you a student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" Upon seeing Ning Feiliu's youth, Liu Ba's originally fierce expression froze for a moment, becoming less menacing.

In reality, his ferocity was just an act.

If they were truly vicious and ruthless, would they come here to fight this kind of merciless soul-fighting battle?

If someone is truly a vicious villain, they should live a life of constant danger, just like Ning Feiliu dealt with those two people who were used as fertilizer.

His fierce and ferocious appearance just now was nothing but a facade, an attempt to intimidate his opponent with his imposing presence before the battle even began.

Seeing that Ning Feiliu was such a young child, and this was her first time participating in a Soul Battle, she immediately felt much more relaxed, and her expression softened as she began to chat.

"No," Ning Feiliu said honestly.

For him, there was no point in impersonating a student of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

"Alright." He smiled slightly and said politely, "Let's start the Soul Battle first. It's not good to chat here."

"Alright! Young brother, forgive me!" Liu Ba shouted, trying to be polite before resorting to force.

The main reason is Ning Feiliu's temperament and manners; even if she isn't a student of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she might be a nobleman from Heaven Dou City.

As a commoner, it's best not to offend Ning Feiliu too easily.

Most importantly, there's also...

He really looked down on Ning Feiliu, who was participating in the Soul Battle for the first time, and he really didn't think he would lose to Ning Feiliu, a child who hadn't even grown his first hair yet.

Sometimes, showing mercy in battle and being overly polite to the enemy is tantamount to looking down on them.

Although Liu Ba's soul rings were not well matched, and although he broke through to the Soul Master level at nearly thirty years old.

But he felt that he had more combat experience than Ning Feiliu and could easily defeat her.

The question is that they think they are very capable, just like some junior college students who are inexplicably confident and look down on undergraduate students.

"Possessed by a fierce tiger!" Liu Ba shouted immediately.

He unleashed bursts of soul power, stretched his arms out to the sides, puffed out his chest, cracked his bones, and his muscles suddenly swelled, straining his clothes.

Yellow hair sprouted from the surface of the body, and four faint lines appeared on the forehead, three horizontal and one vertical, forming the Chinese character "王" (king).

His hands underwent the most dramatic change, more than doubling in size. Yellow fur covered his entire palms, and with each flick of his fingers, short, dagger-like claws extended and retracted from his hands. Each claw was like a blade, a full eight inches long, gleaming with a sinister, cold light.

Behind him, three spirit rings appeared, one white and two yellow.

A typical soul ring combination for an ordinary folk soul master.

Seeing this, Ning Feiliu smiled and summoned her martial soul, "The night is silent, the moonlight fills the sky!"

Two special martial spirits suddenly appeared in his hands: Yingyan and Zhuiming.

At the same time, three spirit rings rose up beneath his feet.

However, the scene of him summoning his martial soul shocked everyone present.

"These are... two martial souls?! Twin martial souls?!" Someone saw Ning Feiliu's two completely different weapons—Fiery Flame and Falling Light—and their pupils shrank as they shouted.

As everyone knows, a person can only have one martial spirit.

The situation of having two martial souls is called twin martial souls.

This is an extremely rare occurrence, even rarer than any other instance of twin martial soul masters recorded since the beginning of Douluo Continent. (This doesn't even include Tang San, who hasn't yet revealed his twin martial souls.)

The first Soul Master with twin Martial Souls was an unprecedented example of having two Martial Souls, and he was also the first pioneer to demonstrate the potential of twin Martial Souls to the world.

As long as you cultivate your first martial soul to its peak, you can then use your second martial soul to absorb all ten-thousand-year or even fifty-thousand-year-old soul rings.

Then that twin martial soul master's strength will be so great that no other soul master of the same level will be a match for him!

Unfortunately, this first twin spirit master died when the two spirits clashed while he was adding spirit rings to his second spirit and then adding a third.

But then a second Soul Master with twin Martial Souls appeared, and she succeeded on her own!

Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, broke through to the Title Douluo level before the age of fifty by virtue of the advantage of twin spirit souls. Her strength has become unfathomable after adding spirit rings to her second spirit soul, directly placing her among the top-tier powerhouses on the Douluo Continent.

(Not counting the semi-retired elders of the Spirit Hall, and of course, nobody knows about the Sea, Land, and Air factions, so they don't count either. Therefore, the top tier right now consists of Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo, who all have level 95 spirit power.)

Bibi Dong's success fully proves that the path of twin martial souls is correct.

Therefore, Soul Masters with twin Martial Souls have become even more sought-after than Soul Masters with innate full Soul Power.

But unfortunately... after all these years, there have only been two people with twin martial souls...

But now, a person who appears to possess twin martial souls has appeared before them?!

If this gets out, it will definitely excite all the major powers!

In the original storyline, Tang San shone brightly in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, and the Spirit Hall had no interest in him.

However, after he demonstrated his talent for having two martial souls, with the second martial soul being the Clear Sky Hammer.

The Spirit Hall immediately became restless and, defying all conventions, decided to ambush Tang San on the way to Spirit City, disguised as bandits.

Besides Tang San being Tang Hao's son, isn't the reason for this fear also due to Tang San's twin martial soul talent?

If Tang San were just an ordinary Soul Master, taking revenge on the Spirit Hall would be as difficult as ascending to heaven, even with the Clear Sky Sect behind him.

But Tang San has twin martial souls, so that's a different story.

After he grows up, the Clear Sky Hammer, which is filled with spirit rings of more than 50,000 years, combined with the effect of the Clear Sky Sect's secret technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer, will make him absolutely invincible among those of the same level, and he will be able to fight against those of higher levels without any problem!

Therefore, the power of twin martial souls is absolutely something to be envious of!

Ning Feiliu also sensed the unusual behavior of the audience around him, but he didn't care.

In fact, he also wished he had twin martial souls, but unfortunately he didn't.

However, the way he is currently fighting using the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon does indeed resemble a twin martial soul.

In fact, anyone who is truly familiar with twin martial souls, such as Gangzi, Bibi Dong, and several top-tier titled Douluo, would know from Ning Feiliu's current situation that Yingyan and Zhuiming are not twin martial souls.

Because... in the original storyline, in Douluo Continent, twin martial souls cannot summon two martial souls to fight together at the same time.

Therefore, someone like Ning Feiliu could not possibly possess twin martial souls.

(Looking at the original plot, Tang San really retconned the original text. When Tang San first showed Tang Dachui his twin martial souls, they could be summoned together, right?)

When fighting the Human-Faced Demon Spider, you can summon both martial souls together to attack, but then it suddenly starts saying that twin martial souls cannot be used together. Otherwise, if Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer were combined into a meteor hammer... that would be incredibly powerful.

However, as mentioned before, the original work has the highest right of interpretation, and the original setting shall prevail.

Just as the audience and hosts were shocked about whether Ning Feiliu possessed twin martial souls, Ning Feiliu made a move!

Liu Ba, who was initially somewhat shocked, quickly came to his senses.

He immediately pounced on Ning Feiliu, his sharp claws seemingly about to tear Ning Feiliu apart.

Just then, he saw Ning Feiliu's second... um? A thousand-year soul ring?!

"Falling Brightness! Second Soul Skill..."

Ning Feiliu's second purple millennium soul ring flashed, "Super-heavy Blunt Light!"

The next moment, he gripped the Pendant and unleashed a dark purple light wave attack forward!

At this moment, the audience noticed Ning Feiliu's three spirit rings, two of which were purple thousand-year spirit rings!

"What is this?!"

"What?! The second spirit ring is a thousand-year spirit ring?!"

"How is this possible?!"

……

All the audience members exclaimed in disbelief, but the sight before them forced them to believe it.

The battle in the Soul Arena continues.

Super-Gravity Blunt Light: When Ning Feiliu activates this skill, her attacks gain a 100% increase in gravity, causing the attacked opponent to be affected by twice the gravity.

Liu Ba charged forward with the momentum of a dragon, heading straight for Ning Feiliu, and naturally also heading straight for Ning Feiliu's next normal attack, Falling Light.

The next moment, a dark purple light wave fell on him.

Most Soul Masters who use the Tiger as their Martial Soul are Power Attack Type Battle Soul Masters. Power Attack Type Battle Soul Masters usually choose to rely on their strong physique to directly withstand the opponent's general attacks.

This time was no exception. Liu Ba held up his sharp claws in front of him, trying to withstand the attack head-on.

However, when Ning Feiliu launched her second soul skill attack, he was still a little cautious, and his third soul ring lit up immediately.

"Third Soul Skill! Wrath of the Tiger!"

As the yellow spirit ring flashed, it added a touch of gold to Liu Ba's already strong body, making him appear as if he had a body of steel.

The dark purple light wave struck Liu Ba directly, but the amplified gravity caused the attack to land on Liu Ba's arms, producing a tooth-grinding cracking sound!

Liu Ba's arm bone, which had been strengthened by his third soul skill, was directly cracked by Ning Feiliu's attack!

But at that moment, Liu Ba ignored the pain in his hands and, after blocking the attack, violently pushed off with both feet!

They actually wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Ning Feiliu and launch a counterattack.

However... Liu Ba's forward lunge was not that fast at this moment. This was, of course, a side effect of the super-gravity blunt light, which caused the attacked opponent to be affected by twice the gravity.

In other words, Liu Ba is now fighting under double the gravity.

This made him unusually slow.

His lunge left him wide open!

Ning Feiliu immediately launched a barrage of attacks on Liu Ba, each strike a burst of bright light waves that shattered and vanished, leaving wounds on his body.

The effects of the super-heavy, blunt light continued, causing Liu Ba to constantly experience double the gravity, making it impossible for him to get close to Ning Feiliu.

This is... a complete one-sided beating.

Even when Liu Ba used his strongest third soul skill, he was unable to break through Ning Feiliu's gravity deceleration control.

At last……

"Stop, I surrender." Liu Ba, covered in wounds and looking utterly disheveled, lay panting on the Soul Fighting Platform and said.

"You admit defeat?" Ning Feiliu was taken aback for a moment, but quickly nodded and stopped attacking.

After all, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Liu Ba's defeat was only a matter of time.

He didn't touch Ning Feiliu even once during this battle!

On the contrary, he has now been beaten into a pulp.

Liu Ba naturally admitted defeat. There was no deep-seated hatred between him and Ning Feiliu that made it a fight to the death.

This is just a normal battle of spirits; there's no need to fight so desperately.

Immediately, the host announced loudly, "In this round of the Soul Battle! Soul Master Yafei wins, with a record of one win and zero losses. Soul Master Liu Ba's record is thirty-eight wins and twenty-three losses!"

And then, small characters appeared before Ning Feiliu's eyes—

Defeating ten equally powerful opponents will grant you two years of martial arts training experience with Jax. (Six more opponents needed)

Everyone immediately shouted, "Africa and Asia! Africa and Asia! Africa and Asia!"

Ning Feiliu turned around and stepped off the Soul Battle Platform. However, after registering the scores for this Soul Battle, he threw the ten gold soul coins back to the staff.

"Keep signing me up for the Soul Battle. As long as I don't come back to you, just keep signing me up." Then he turned and walked down from the Soul Battle Arena, waiting for the next battle.

Because the Heaven Dou Grand Soul Arena is quite large, it allows Soul Masters to register for Soul Battles multiple times a day. Because of this, Ning Feiliu can participate in Soul Battles at will.

He's going to finish this task today!

Saturday is my day off. All 4,000 words for today are here. I'm going out with friends this afternoon and dating my girlfriend tonight. Don't worry about me, guys.

I won't go into detail about the Soul Battles anymore. I'll start with the second battle—because the second battle allows me to switch to a new weapon to prove that the protagonist doesn't have twin martial souls. I'll omit that part as much as possible.

Then there's a fight after the auction where he clashes with Yu Tianheng—he beats up Dugu Yan's "ex".
