In the history of Soul Masters in Douluo Continent, only two people possessed twin Martial Souls.
Tang San and Ma Hongjun are now the third and fourth.
The first Soul Master to possess twin Martial Souls met a tragic end. When he added a third Soul Ring to his second Martial Soul, the two Souls clashed, causing him to explode and die.
The second was Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong succeeded; both of her twin Martial Souls were successfully imbued with Soul Rings, and the second Martial Soul's Soul Rings were all over ten thousand years old.
Twin Martial Souls have a drawback.
Just like ordinary Soul Masters absorbing Soul Rings, the body has a limit.
Ordinary Soul Masters can usually imbue a maximum of nine Soul Rings, and their bodies reach that limit.
Twin Martial Souls can imbue eighteen Soul Rings. Consider that the second Martial Soul's Soul Rings must be at least ten thousand years old; eighteen Soul Rings—such a vast amount of Soul Power concentrated in one body—
wouldn't that body be overwhelmed and explode?
This is the problem that troubled Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. Tang San and Ma Hongjun both possess twin martial souls, and when they need to add spirit rings to their second martial soul, they will inevitably face this issue.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's late-night visit to Bibi Dong was also to seek the answer to this problem. He wanted to know how Bibi Dong overcame the difficulties of having twin martial souls.
Ma Hongjun, having transmigrated, naturally knew how to solve this problem.
Ultimately, it comes down to
the body's endurance. To solve this problem, one needs to improve the body's endurance; in other words, make the physical body stronger.
And for spirit masters, besides training, spirit bones become the most important method to improve physical strength.
Unlike spirit rings, spirit bones directly affect the body, enhancing various attributes and functions, and they also grow stronger as the body matures.
Bibi Dong solved the problem of spirit ring backlash and body explosion by fusing six spirit bones.
Each spirit bone has corresponding attributes, allowing the transfer of corresponding attribute energy from the body to the spirit bone.
For example, Tang San's external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lances, injected all the poison attributes within Tang San's body into it.
This is also the method Tang San used to help Poison Douluo detoxify. Because Poison Douluo's beast spirit was inherently poisonous, he was also poisoned by his own spirit. Tang San's solution was to find a spirit bone with a compatible attribute, forcing all the poison into it.
This not only preserved his powerful strength and attributes but also enhanced the spirit bone's function and skills.
Ma Hongjun has three spirit bones, but his body contains spirit power of multiple attributes.
The Flood Dragon Scale Armor is inherently water-attribute, so Ma Hongjun's water-attribute spirit power is all in this external spirit bone.
The metal attribute is in the Dark Gold Terror Claw spirit bone, and the wood attribute is in the torso spirit bone.
This is equivalent to having multiple energy sources in the body; the more spirit bones, the more energy can be stored.
The torso spirit bone, in particular, is a pillar, its importance no less than that of the skull.
The 50,000-year-old Jianmu torso spirit bone greatly helped Ma Hongjun solve the problem of his twin spirits.
The wood-attribute spirit bone provides vitality, and with growth, it will infinitely increase Ma Hongjun's physical limits.
In short, the more spirit bones, the safer.
Ma Hongjun actually knew that Grandmaster's trip to the Papal Palace to find Bibi Dong was for the sake of the two of them.
Although Ma Hongjun already knew the answer, he didn't stop him.
There was a misunderstanding between Grandmaster and Bibi Dong; they were a pair of star-crossed lovers tormented by fate.
Letting Grandmaster meet with Bibi Dong wasn't a bad idea; after all, Bibi Dong wouldn't kill Grandmaster.
The night passed, and Grandmaster didn't return.
The next morning, the Shrek Academy students packed their bags, waiting for Grandmaster's return so they could go back to the academy.
Liu Erlong anxiously watched the direction of the hotel entrance; she knew, of course, that Grandmaster had gone to find Bibi Dong. Now she could only worry helplessly.
If Flander hadn't stopped her, the irritable Liu Erlong would have rushed to the Papal Palace to demand his return.
When the sun was high in the sky!
Grandmaster returned, looking somewhat weak and listless!
"Did she do anything to you?"
Liu Erlong was the first to run downstairs, asking worriedly, but seeing that Grandmaster had no injuries, only a slightly unwell state of mind, she was relieved.
However, with Ma Hongjun's discerning eye, he could vaguely discern what Grandmaster had experienced the previous night.
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai exchanged a glance and nodded knowingly, their eyes conveying the same meaning. They wholeheartedly
agreed with the guess!
Looking at the worried Liu Erlong, she was unaware that a huge green hat had already been placed on his head.
Grandmaster said nothing, remaining silent about last night's events.
He gathered everyone and left Wuhun City.
On the way, Grandmaster called Ma Hongjun and Tang San aside.
"Little San, do you remember the problem of the backlash from twin martial spirits I told you about?
To solve this problem, we need to start with physical strength. It's similar to what I've researched; a strong body is needed to withstand the backlash from the spirit rings."
Now all you need to do is collect soul bones.
...
Don't add soul rings to your second martial soul until your body has fused three soul bones.
Once you've collected all six soul bones, the problem of fusing soul rings should be solved, but you'll still need to strengthen your physical training.
"Improving your physical strength will benefit you greatly..."
Ma Hongjun hadn't expected that Grandmaster would actually get the answer to the twin martial soul problem from Bibi Dong.
In the original story, this wasn't the case.
It seems that because of Ma Hongjun's transmigration, many things have changed, and the course
of events has slowly shifted. This might be the butterfly effect; initially, because they were still weak, the effect hadn't manifested, but now the wheels of history are slowly deviating from their original path.
Considering Grandmaster's dejected appearance when he first appeared, Ma Hongjun could roughly guess that Grandmaster and Bibi Dong must have made some shady deal last night.
The competition ended, and it was time for everyone to graduate.
Jiangzhu, Tailong, Huang Yuan, and Jingling should have graduated already, but were delayed because of the competition.
Ma Hongjun also invited them to join his Fairy Robe Pavilion.
Now, with Bai Baoshan in charge and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School protecting them, the Fairy Robe Pavilion is at its zenith and needs talent.
Besides Tailong, the others... The three of them readily agreed.
Like a startup, the Fairy Garment Pavilion was full of young people with drive; they trusted Ma Hongjun and were used to following him.
Tang San originally planned to develop his own Tang Sect with Ma Hongjun, while also slowly gathering information about his father and then preparing to find Xiao Wu.
However, when the group was halfway there, a man in black robes appeared.
Haotian Douluo had been secretly following Tang San ever since the Shrek Seven Devils left Heaven Dou City. Now that Tang San had graduated, it was time for him to come and take him away.
As before, only a few people knew of Haotian Douluo's appearance, and Tang San went with him.
Before leaving, the eight members of Shrek Seven Devils made a pact to reunite at Shrek Academy five years later.
Graduation was indeed a moment of separation.
Oscar and Xiao Yuanyuan didn't have any ties; Xiao Yuanyuan was originally a member of the Fairy Garment Pavilion, and now both of them had joined.
Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing still needed to return to the Star Luo Empire to inherit their family businesses.
"Perfect timing! Fairy Robe Pavilion needs to expand into the Star Luo Empire. How about this, we first settle things with Heaven Dou,
then return to the Star Luo Empire with Mu Bai and Zhu Qing,"
Ma Hongjun suggested. They
needed to open up the Star Luo Empire market much earlier, but it was delayed by the Advanced Soul Master Competition.
"Great! Great! It's a good opportunity to go to the Star Luo Empire and see for ourselves."
"Mu Bai and the others also need our help. Once we help Mu Bai ascend to the position of Crown Prince, expanding Fairy Robe Pavilion will be a natural progression."
The remaining members are now the backbone of Fairy Robe Pavilion, and heading to the Star Luo Empire to develop the market is a new journey.
Graduation means starting a business!
