Confirming that this situation wasn't a coincidence, Aos Qin and Oscar weren't overly panicked. Since they were three years old, they had occasionally been able to sense each other's thoughts. This kind of telepathic connection had already strengthened after their Martial Soul awakening—now it was simply much stronger.
Moreover, instinct told the brothers this was more than just basic telepathy. However, now wasn't the right time or place to experiment."Let's talk about it after we return to the Academy," Aos Qin said inwardly to Oscar.
Having made this discovery, the two spent the rest of the night watch trying to control this mental link. After all, even twins shouldn't be able to constantly peek into each other's thoughts. Fortunately, it wasn't difficult—by the time Flender relieved them for the second half of the night, they had already learned how to manage it.
Entering this state only required concentration, but they could also block each other at will. To reestablish the connection, they first had to "knock," like a neighbor visiting another house—checking first if the other side was open for contact.
Right on time, Flender awoke from meditation in the latter half of the night. Aos Qin and Oscar immediately sensed it and fixed their eyes on him, eager to know the results of his cultivation.
Seeing their expectant looks, Flender didn't beat around the bush:"No problem at all—my soul power circulation speed has increased by 5%."
Saying that, Flender couldn't help but sigh emotionally. So the innate full soul power of food-type Martial Souls truly comes with such incredible potential…
He couldn't help but feel excited—perhaps he could really look forward to teaching the first food-type Title Douluo in Douluo Continent's history. That old fellow Shao Xin had truly picked up a treasure!
After receiving Flender's confirmation, Aos Qin and Oscar each ate a "Grilled Cheese Beef Burger" and began to meditate.
By dawn the next day, Flender woke them up early to depart. This trip to the Star Dou Forest had been immensely fruitful, and the group was eager to return.
Before noon, the three had already reached Shrek Academy—Flender had flown them straight back from the forest. Experiencing real flight for the first time left the brothers a bit pale, earning them a round of teasing from Flender.
Flender then gave them the day off. They could return home and, on the way, go to Spirit Hall in Soto City to register as official Soul Masters. From now on, they would each receive a monthly subsidy of one gold coin.
Although both brothers were eager for a hot bath at home, Aos Qin dragged his older brother first to store the Arrow Bamboo they'd brought back. Then he rushed to Teacher Shao Xin's office to report the results of his first Soul Skill.
Hearing about their Soul Ring absorption, Shao Xin was first pleased with Oscar's progress—but Aos Qin's Soul Skill left him completely astonished. Knowing the brothers were tired, he didn't keep them long, though Aos Qin left behind a freshly made burger before leaving.
After that, the brothers went around the village near the Academy. Aos Qin spent five copper coins on a large water jar, filled it with soil, then mixed in Arrow Bamboo leaves, two of Oscar's sausages, one of his own burgers, and some deer blood—crushing and mixing it all together before planting the Ginseng Doll in the jar, trimming off its root hairs.
In the Omnipotent Library, under the "Body Tempering" category, Aos Qin had found a method for cultivating medicinal herbs to aid physical training.
Ginseng—having absorbed heaven and earth's essence for many years—was always a key ingredient in body-strengthening tonics due to its rich nutrients and mild properties. However, its slow growth made it scarce. To solve this, the Library recorded a formula for a Ginseng Cultivation Solution, made from eighteen medicinal ingredients.
Sixteen of these were common enough in Soto City pharmacies, but the last two were rare energy-rich minerals—well beyond Aos Qin's current budget.
So, he substituted them with his soul skill–created sausage and burger mash, believing that adding a little each day would suffice.
Using this method, the Ginseng Doll could grow new fine roots each month. Harvesting these didn't harm it, and those roots could provide Aos Qin and Oscar with abundant nutrients for their body tempering training.
Of course, before starting such training, Aos Qin first needed to make money by crafting Soul Guidance Devices. Even with the Spirit Hall stipend, he only had four gold coins—barely enough to make the cultivation fluid and to craft two large wooden soaking barrels.
He chose Arrow Bamboo and Hemlock Wood as materials, embedding basic Soul Guidance Arrays to retain medicinal energy and stimulate vitality, enhancing the absorption of medicinal baths.
By the time they finished registration and received their subsidies from Spirit Hall—it was already 3 p.m. As expected, the appearance of two innately full-soul-power food-type Soul Masters caused quite a stir. Spirit Hall tried to recruit them, but both politely declined, stating they already had a teacher.
Incidentally, Oscar's soul power had reached Level 12, while Aos Qin had reached Level 13—the same as Tang San after his first Soul Ring, proving Aos Qin's cultivation talent and method were not inferior.
When they returned home, their parents weren't there, but the brothers—being food-type Soul Masters—had no trouble feeding themselves.
They boiled water and bathed together out of exhaustion. Being twins, modesty wasn't an issue. After washing up, they changed clothes and split tasks—Aos Qin went to the carpenter's shop to order the barrels, while Oscar went to the pharmacy to buy herbs.
They dropped off their materials at home and then went to their parents' stall to help out—and to share the good news that they had officially become Soul Masters. Naturally, they also presented food made from their soul skills, though Aos Qin was careful to exclude the soul cultivation boost from his burgers, just in case.
That night, after celebrating with their family, Oscar helped their parents prepare for the next day's market while Aos Qin refined metal ingots.
Before sleeping, Aos Qin quietly took out his handwritten notes on Soul Guidance Device creation and body training, putting them into his backpack—planning to give them to his teachers tomorrow and then find a chance to trick Oscar into joining him in "blacksmithing"—or rather, Soul Device crafting.
He also entered the Omnipotent Library once more, finalizing his last study category: "Ranged Soul Device Specialization."After all, mastering gun techniques was seriously cool.
The next morning, upon arriving at the Academy, they were surprised to see all the teachers gathered on the training ground.
Flender said, "Although you two are currently our only students, you still need to know all your teachers. You already know Old Shao and Old Zhao. The remaining two are—Level 66 Control System Battle Soul Emperor Lu Qibin, Martial Soul: Star Luo Chess, and Level 65 Assault System Battle Soul Emperor Li Yusong, Martial Soul: Coiling Dragon Staff."
After greeting the teachers, the group dispersed.
Aos Qin and Oscar returned to their dormitory to store their barrels and cultivation solution. Oscar went to find Shao Xin, while Aos Qin went to Flender—to discuss that strange experience in the forest.
As soon as Aos Qin explained the situation, Flender grabbed him and flashed out of his office. Coincidentally, they ran into Shao Xin and Oscar rushing over at the same time.
Once all four were seated in the library's second floor, Flender spoke gravely:"If I'm not mistaken, what you two experienced should be one form of a Martial Soul Fusion Technique."
"Martial Soul Fusion Techniques," he continued, "refer to combinations of Martial Souls that perfectly complement each other, merging to unleash power far greater than either alone.
They can involve two or more Martial Souls—but due to the vast differences between them, true compatibility is exceedingly rare. Even compatible Martial Souls don't always belong to people who meet and train together.
Therefore, Martial Soul Fusion Techniques are extremely uncommon—twins like you two are among the most likely to possess them."
Flender's tone turned serious."Now, let's test whether you can truly perform a Martial Soul Fusion."
