After returning to the office building, Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiaodie discussed Ye Liangchen's martial soul cultivation.
"Xiaochen! Which martial spirit do you plan to cultivate first?"
As teachers in the advanced academy, they also know the benefits of twin martial souls, which is to cultivate one martial soul first. When the first martial soul reaches level 90, there is no need to cultivate the second martial soul. Soul rings can be added directly, and they can all be ten thousand year soul rings. It feels very powerful just thinking about it.
"I choose to cultivate the Martial Soul of the Goddess of Life first." After Ye Liangchen finished speaking, he summoned the Martial Soul of the Goddess of Life.
After his martial soul awakened, Ye Liangchen felt that his physical fitness was several times stronger than before his martial soul awakened. Now he could lift at least 100 kilograms with one hand.
Moreover, his own Life Goddess martial soul has two abilities: assistance and attack. The soul skills in the martial soul are fixed. No matter what soul beast he hunts, the soul skills will not change. This change surprised Ye Liangchen!
"My Life Goddess Martial Soul has both support and attack abilities, and I feel like this Martial Soul also has fixed soul skills. No matter what soul beast I hunt in the future, the soul skills will not change."
"But my Chunjun Sword martial soul doesn't seem to have its own soul skills."
Ye Liangchen introduced the magic of his martial soul to the three women, which opened their eyes.
"The Goddess of Life's martial spirit actually has two functions? And it also has its own spirit skills? This... this is too incredible!"
It was the first time that Lan Xiaodie and the others had seen such a martial soul. Previously, they thought that the Goddess of Life martial soul was of the auxiliary type, but they did not expect it to have dual attributes and also come with its own soul skills. It was really amazing.
"It seems we'll have to ask the Pope of the Spirit Hall about the coexistence of twin spirits. After all, she's the only genius in history who can cultivate twin spirits to level 90!"
"Xiaochen, take back your martial spirit!"
Lan Xiaodie pondered for a moment. If she could guide Ye Liangchen to cultivate only one martial soul, there would be no problem, but they had no experience in cultivating twin martial souls. They had to find a way to ask the Queen of the Spirit Hall for advice. She didn't know whether that woman would agree.
Ye Liangchen was not worried about the cultivation of twin martial souls. As long as he had soul bones and divine power, there would be no problem. Besides, he also had a plug-in. Maybe he could cultivate to the Titled Douluo without soul bones and divine power.
Now that Ye Liangchen knew about the Life Goddess's martial spirit's inherent soul skills, he was certain that she had noticed him. Could it be that she wanted to pass on the Life God King to him? If so, that would be great. With the Life God King, the Destruction God King might also follow suit. After all, that guy always listened to his wife.
"Sister, Xiaochen's second martial soul is a sword. Can we let him learn from Jian Douluo?" Lan Xiaoling thought of Jian Douluo from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. His martial soul was the Seven Killing Swords. When it comes to swordsmanship, there should be few people in Douluo Continent who can compare with him.
"No, ever since Xiaochen's parents were murdered, I no longer trust anyone from a reputable or decent sect. Even the people from that supposedly number one sect in the world are that kind of scum. How much better can other sects be? Even though Ning Fengzhi appears to be a modest gentleman, he's a master at political intrigue."
"When Xiaochen's parents were chivalrous, they taught many people a lesson. Ye Feng has beaten up some arrogant and domineering people from various sects, including the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. If the little guy reveals his identity outside, he will be targeted by those with ulterior motives. He is still young now, so we have to protect him until he can protect himself. Otherwise, how can we have the face to face Ye Feng and Liu Ruyan in the afterlife!"
As soon as Lan Xiaoling proposed this, she was immediately opposed by Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiaodie. Which sect in Douluo Continent doesn't prioritize profit? The imperial family, the major sects, and the Spirit Hall are all the same. No one is any better, and there are no truly good people.
"Sister, Bibi Dong had a good relationship with Xiaochen's parents back then, and she even gave them a token. I have to ask her about the method of cultivating Xiaochen's twin martial spirits." Lan Xiaoling thought about it and this was the only way.
Lan Xiaodie nodded. "That's right. Six years ago, after Pope Qianxunji died, that woman took the throne. Xiaochen's parents and I attended her coronation ceremony. But I feel that her personality has changed a lot. I will visit her when I have the chance and see how things go."
Over twenty years ago, Lan Xiaodie, Ye Feng, and Liu Ruyan had also met Bibi Dong in Wuhun City. Back then, Bibi Dong was just a simple woman, in love with Yu Xiaogang. Ye Feng and Liu Ruyan were not optimistic about their relationship, believing it would have no future. A useless person falling in love with a genius saint was inherently mismatched, a mismatch between their families.
Liu Ruyan had secretly warned Bibi Dong to be more careful and not be deceived. But Bibi Dong was just a simple girl at the time, her mind was in a trance, so she didn't listen. Later, Qian Xunji broke them up and expelled Yu Xiaogang from the Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong still wanted to elope with Yu Xiaogang, so Qian Xunji, in a fit of rage, confined Bibi Dong to her room. No one knows what happened to Bibi Dong after that.
The incident back then was a huge uproar, and Lan Xiaodie, Ye Feng, and Liu Ruyan hadn't seen Bibi Dong for years. It wasn't until six years ago, when Qian Xueji died and Bibi Dong ascended the throne, that Lan Xiaodie and Ye Feng finally saw Bibi Dong at the Pope's coronation ceremony.
At that time, Bibi Dong also invited Ye Feng and his wife to join the Spirit Hall, but Ye Feng did not agree. Bibi Dong did not force him, but instead gave him a Pope's order.
Bibi Dong has been coaching the Spirit Hall for six years now. She is ruthless and decisive in her actions. She also carried out reforms to the Spirit Hall. The subsidy for soul masters to the Soul Master level was initiated by her. On the one hand, it can recruit soul masters from the civilian population to serve the Spirit Hall. Another purpose may be to ensure that Yu Xiaogang can always have money to earn.
Under her leadership, the Spirit Hall became increasingly powerful, and Bibi Dong was also known as the Iron-Blooded Pope, with the demeanor of a queen.
Ever since Lan Xiaodie met Bibi Dong that time, she felt a strong ambition and a looming evil force from her. Lan Xiaodie guessed that something big must have happened to her, causing Bibi Dong's temperament to change drastically.
If Bibi Dong still had the same innocent personality as before, she could let Ye Liangchen become her disciple, but now she didn't dare to let Ye Liangchen take risks. It would be safer to keep this little guy by her side.
"We'll take it one step at a time, and we'll talk about the future later."
Shui Lingfeng pondered for a moment, then looked at her two daughters, and they understood each other tacitly.
Ye Liangchen listened to these things quietly and was very shocked. He never thought that his parents had a friendship with Pope Bibi Dong. It really surprised him.
In Ye Liangchen's eyes, Bibi Dong was nothing more than a naive naiveté, a traitor who had played a good hand of cards badly and brought disaster upon herself. To put it bluntly, she was an ungrateful, treacherous woman. The Spirit Hall had painstakingly nurtured her, yet she rebelliously fell in love with an outsider, and a worthless one at that. Where would the Spirit Hall's reputation be?
It was also her fault that she was naive and ignorant when she was young, and she met Yu Xiaogang, who was full of bragging, which led to her being deceived. In fact, in Ye Liangchen's opinion, Bibi Dong was the kind of person who was used to eating big fish and meat, and when she saw green vegetables, she thought it was very fresh and wanted to try it.
If we were to say who Ye Liangchen hates the most in this world, the first one would have to be Yu Xiaogang. He is just like those "experts" with fake academic qualifications on Blue Star in his previous life, who can only talk big.
Yu Xiaogang used the authority of Saint Bibi Dong to copy some basic knowledge of soul masters from the Spirit Hall, sorted it out, and said it was his own theory. He called himself an invincible theoretical master, and published it, and also talked about the ten core theories of spirit masters.
That guy put his hands behind his back, acted noble everywhere, and often said that his ten core theories of martial arts were unmatched.
Bah! Shame on you!
The second person Ye Liangchen hated was Tang Dachui. This guy was a sect slave who was obsessed with face. He was also a sinister and vicious hypocrite and murderer.
The third one is Xiao San, a member of the Tang Clan who spends his days researching how to kill people with poisons and hidden weapons. He is not a good person to begin with. However, he talks about benevolence and morality, but behind the scenes he does selfish things.
But now that I'm here, these hypocrites and shameless people will not have a good end.
Just as Ye Liangchen was thinking about the problem, Lan Xiaodie took out a soul guide device that looked like a jade pendant, put it around his neck, and introduced to him how to use the soul guide device.
"Xiaochen! This is the jade pendant your parents left for you. It looks like a jade pendant on the surface, but it's actually a soul guide. There's a space inside the jade pendant that can be used for storage."
Ye Liangchen took the soul guide and asked Lan Xiaodie about his parents.
"Aunt Lan! How did my parents die? The dean told me before that the enemy was a man in a black robe holding a hammer. Who was that man?" Ye Liangchen blinked his big eyes and looked at Lan Xiaodie. Although he had guessed that the enemy was Tang Dachui, he wanted to know the details of the situation at that time.
"How does Xiaochen know all this?" Lan Xiaodie and her sister looked at each other and felt something was wrong.
"When Xiaochen was 4 years old, he heard several teachers talking about his parents in the cafeteria. Later in Zizhuyuan, he asked me about it, and I had to tell him some things. Don't worry! I have given a gag order to all teachers and students in the academy, and they won't say anything." Shui Lingfeng gave Lan Xiaodie a reassuring look.
Lan Xiaodie felt distressed when she saw Ye Liangchen's pitiful expression. She immediately hugged him in her arms and burst into tears.
"Wuwu...! Child! It's my fault. I dragged your parents down. They could have escaped, but they died trying to save me."
"Three months after you were born, your parents' spirit power reached level 90, I reached level 80, and your uncle reached level 70. The four of us went to the Star Dou Forest to hunt spirit beasts, and I was the first to obtain the eighth spirit ring. As we continued to explore deeper into the Star Dou Forest, we suddenly encountered a Titled Douluo in a black robe. His name was Tang Hao. Your parents and my husband died at his hands."
In order to verify his speculation, Ye Liangchen asked curiously, "But my parents are not Tang Hao's enemies. Why would he kill them?"
"Child! You can only judge a person by his appearance, not his heart. Few people knew about Tang Hao's love affair with the 100,000-year-old soul beast Blue Silver Emperor, but your parents did know about it. When Tang Hao took his soul beast wife to various major cities, your parents even said: Tang Hao must have lost his mind."
"Sure enough, later, Spirit Hall's Pope, Qian Xunji, discovered that Tang Hao's wife was the Hundred-Thousand-Year-Old Blue Silver Emperor. Faced with such a temptation, no Titled Douluo could resist, so the Spirit Hall launched a hunt for the Blue Silver Emperor. We don't know the specifics of what happened afterwards, but we do know that the Spirit Hall later received word of Pope Qian Xunji's death. Tang Hao had also been promoted to Titled Douluo by then, and it's likely they engaged in a battle. Upon Qian Xunji's death, Spirit Hall's Saintess, Bibi Dong, appointed Pope and pinned the blame squarely on Tang Hao. She then led the Spirit Hall into a war against the Clear Sky Sect. In that battle, the entire Spirit Hall united, severely damaging the Clear Sky Sect, forcing them to retreat and expel Tang Hao from the sect. Later, Qian Xunji's father, Qian Daoliu, emerged to hunt Tang Hao down, and he hid across the continent. He didn't meet us until later in the Star Dou Forest, where he was holding a child, about seven or eight months old. We pitied the child and offered him some food and water, and Tang Hao expressed our gratitude."
"The reason Tang Hao wanted to kill us was because of what your father said at the time: Brother Tang Hao, you are too careless. The Blue Silver Emperor is a hundred thousand year soul beast, and you took her to wander around Spirit City. Although a hundred thousand year soul beast that has transformed and recultivated to maturity is invisible to ordinary Titled Douluo, the Blue Silver Emperor was pregnant at the time, so it was impossible to hide it. The super Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall could easily see through her soul beast identity. You are simply harming her."
"Because of this sentence, Tang Hao flew into a rage on the spot, like a madman, his eyes glowing red, his whole body emitting a blood-red glow, and he was filled with murderous intent and attacked us. My husband was weaker and had no time to react, so he was killed on the spot by Tang Hao. Your parents used their martial soul fusion technique to fight Tang Hao, and they were not at a disadvantage, and even suppressed him. Tang Hao was injured at the time and was about to collapse, but suddenly, a more powerful red light erupted from Tang Hao. Your parents immediately felt that the power was not possessed by mortals, so they immediately sent me away, gave me this soul guide jade pendant, and then both self-destructed to buy me time to escape."
"Now that I think about it, your father must have seen through Tang Hao's schemes and exposed them to him, embarrassing him. To protect his reputation, he decided to kill us."
Lan Xiaodie spoke of the tragedy that happened that year with tears streaming down her face, and she was sobbing uncontrollably.
"Humph! Someone from the world's number one sect is just this kind of scum? He dares to do things but not to take responsibility, worse than a villain. So, he deliberately killed the Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Emperor, and his purpose was to get the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring."
"He was flaunting his soul beast wife around the major cities of the continent, and even went to Wuhun City with her. Wasn't this deliberately exposing the Blue Silver Emperor's identity? When Qian Xunji and the others came to kill him, the Blue Silver Emperor was desperate and had no choice but to sacrifice himself to Tang Hao for the sake of his child."
"It's said that when Tang Hao was wandering around with the Blue Silver Emperor, his soul power had already reached level 89, but he refused to obtain a soul ring to advance to the Titled Douluo. Now it seems that he is really insidious."
"He planned every step carefully, and finally obtained a 100,000-year spirit ring by sacrificing his soul beast wife. What a great plan! Is this the so-called Haotian Douluo?"
Based on these events, Shui Lingfeng deduced that everything Tang Hao did was solely for the sake of a 100,000-year spirit ring, which would bring honor to his clan. It was a pity that Qian Xunji's unexpected death disrupted Tang Hao's plan, causing the Haotian Sect to retreat and forcing him to hide.
Ye Liangchen wasn't surprised that Tang Dachui was plotting against his soul beast wife; after all, he'd known about it from countless fan fictions in his past life. Instead, after hearing Lan Xiaodie's account of her parents' battle against Tang Dachui, an even more powerful red light erupted from his body, confirming that it was the Asura God behind the plot.
When he goes to the God Realm in the future, Ye Liangchen will kill that old bastard as soon as possible. As for Tang Dachui, he has a hundred ways to deal with him.
His own father was truly a scoundrel back then. He saw that Tang Dachui was deliberately plotting against the Blue Silver Emperor, and you told him so right in front of him. How could he possibly save his dignity? The dignified Clear Sky Douluo was actually a hypocrite plotting against his soul beast wife. If word got out, Tang Dachui and the Clear Sky Sect would be humiliated. To protect his own reputation and that of the sect, he would of course have to kill him.
This is a typical example of daring to do something but not knowing how to take responsibility, a complete act of a villain. However, he insists on pretending to be a righteous hero and venting all his hatred on the Spirit Hall. It is really disgusting.
Ye Liangchen gently wiped the tears from Lan Xiaodie's face and comforted her, "Aunt Lan! Don't cry! I will definitely kill that hypocrite and avenge my parents and uncle."
"Child! I'm sorry for letting you know the cruel truth at such a young age."
"Auntie just hopes that you can forget this hatred for the time being and live happily."
Seeing Ye Liangchen wiping away her tears like a little adult, Lan Xiaodie felt heartbroken. She hugged his small body tightly, blaming herself and thinking: He is only a six-year-old child! What if the little guy lives in hatred in the future? What should I do?
Shui Lingfeng and Lan Xiaodie were also crying silently. Yun Hanxing also died in that accident, causing Shui Binger and Shui Yueer to lose their father since childhood.
Ye Liangchen was also brought to grief by this sad scene, and tears fell. This was an instinctive reaction. After all, in this life, as the son of Ye Feng and Liu Ruyan, it was a feeling of blood connection.
Besides, I'm just a child now. I can't just not shed a tear after hearing about the death of my own parents in this world. That would be too unreasonable.
