"twin spirits?!"
Indeed, upon hearing Kong Xuan's words, Kong Deming exclaimed these four words in shock!
Innate Full Soul Power geniuses are rare, but twin spirits are even more so.
Kong Deming did not doubt Kong Xuan's words in the slightest. He looked at Kong Ling in surprise and couldn't help but ask, "Ling'er, what is your other Spirit?"
Facing this question, Kong Ling did not answer directly but instead looked at her brother.
She remembered that Kong Xuan had told her not to tell anyone this secret.
Watching Kong Xuan smile and nod, Kong Ling then raised her right hand.
As spirit power surged, a clear, cold light flashed, and a silver-white orb appeared on her right hand.
At the same time, the entire room was enveloped in a layer of chill.
"Silver Moon!"
Kong Deming exclaimed. He was all too familiar with the Spirit on Kong Ling's right hand.
He was Titled as Silver Moon Douluo precisely because the Spirit he primarily cultivated was this Silver Moon!
Now, both of Kong Ling's twin spirits were clear: the Sun on her left hand and the Silver Moon on her right!
This combination was exactly the same as Kong Deming's!
That's right, Kong Deming also possessed twin spirits!
Therefore, at this moment, with Kong Ling, his "junior," exhibiting such a "return to ancestry" type of Spirit, Kong Deming quickly accepted this delightful result.
"Hahaha!" He couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Good! Heaven has not forsaken my Kong family!"
He looked at Kong Xuan and Kong Ling before him, cherishing them immensely in his heart. Having no direct descendants, he had never imagined he would experience such emotions.
However, after the initial excitement, he calmed down, for he realized a serious issue: the cultivation of the two children!
Kong Deming was a Titled Douluo, the strongest individual in the Sun Moon Empire, yet he lacked the confidence to properly guide his two precious grandchildren.
The Sun Moon Empire vigorously developed spirit tool technology, which led to a less than satisfactory focus on the Spirit Master's own development.
Kong Deming possessed twin spirits, but due to his immersion in the research of spirit tools, his spirit power was stuck at level ninety-four.
Moreover, he primarily cultivated the Silver Moon Spirit, and his Sun Martial Soul had only four spirit rings attached to it to this day.
It wasn't that he didn't want to add more spirit rings to the Sun Martial Soul; it was that he couldn't.
The Sun Moon Empire did not possess the secret techniques for cultivating twin spirits, which meant his body simply could not withstand more spirit rings.
Mu En of Shrek Academy could realize the necessity of spirit tool development, and Kong Deming naturally understood that to become a true powerhouse, spirit power was the fundamental core.
His life was already set, but facing such a pair of exceptionally talented grandchildren, he knew he had to make a change!
However, everything needed to be considered in the long term. At this moment, only a single idea had popped into his mind.
As for how to implement it specifically, it still required careful deliberation... After the tests, Kong Xuan and Kong Ling also began their cultivation according to Kong Deming's arrangements.
Of course, the main focus was on improving their physique.
And for this, Kong Deming's chosen method for them was to eat!
Four meals a day, not necessarily delicious, but absolutely rich in nutrients.
Dusk fell, and the entire World seemed to be shrouded in a black veil.
Tonight, dark clouds covered the sky, with no stars or moon visible, making the entire night seem quieter than usual.
Next to the Sun Moon Imperial Palace, the kitchen of Kong Deming's home was brightly lit, and a tall figure was constantly busy.
"Come, come, there's good stuff again today!"
Before he was even seen, Kong Deming's voice echoed into the house.
Kong Xuan and Kong Ling sat obediently at the table, waiting for their grandfather to serve the dishes; it was time for supper.
They experienced such a scene every day these past few days.
Soon, the door opened from the outside, and Kong Deming rushed in with great vigor.
Ever since Kong Xuan and Kong Ling were brought by him to Capital City, he felt much younger, and his entire being was full of energy.
Two small white porcelain bowls were placed in front of each of them, and a strange aroma wafted over, making both of them involuntarily swallow just by smelling it.
To be honest, Kong Deming's cooking skills were not very good, so many of the tonics they had eaten these past few days did not taste very pleasant.
But the food before them now, though simple in appearance, was delicious enough just by its scent.
Seeing the two children eager to eat, Kong Deming smiled and said, "This stuff isn't that easy to eat, you know."
"It needs to be eaten hot, so I'll just give a brief introduction."
"This is whale jelly. It's very helpful for improving the body, but after eating it, you'll have to endure pain like being burned by raging fire."
"Now, whether to eat it or not is up to you."
After finishing his introduction, Kong Deming gave the choice to the two of them.
Kong Xuan naturally knew the benefits of whale jelly. Determined to become a powerhouse, he had already made his decision upon hearing the name.
He looked at Kong Ling next to him, his expression somewhat conflicted.
He wanted Kong Ling to eat the whale jelly to improve her physique, but he couldn't bear for her to endure the pain of body tempering.
At this moment, Kong Ling was also looking at her brother, her eyes full of inquiry, as if whatever Kong Xuan said, she would follow.
Having depended on each other for six years, Kong Xuan naturally knew his sister's reliance on him.
But he also knew that in a World like this, his protection of his sister was far less important than her having the strength to protect herself.
Understanding this, Kong Xuan smiled and said, "If it hurts, just shout it out!"
Kong Ling nodded at his words, then looked at the small bowl in front of her.
The whale jelly in the bowl was jelly-like, dark gold in color, and steaming hot.
"Since you've decided, then eat it quickly. The effect won't be as good if it cools down."
Listening to Kong Deming's voice, the siblings both moved at the same time.
Kong Xuan picked up his spoon, scooped a piece from the bowl, and put it in his mouth.
The whale jelly didn't taste as fragrant as it smelled in the mouth; instead, it had a strong fishy taste.
However, the whale jelly melted instantly in the mouth, and the fishy smell didn't last long before turning into a warm current that flowed into his stomach.
The amount of whale jelly in the bowl wasn't very large; Kong Xuan finished it in just three bites.
At this moment, he could clearly feel his chest and abdomen heating up first, and then this warm current began to wander throughout his body. He could even clearly feel his physique improving now.
Kong Xuan thought to himself that it was indeed the whale jelly that was a must-eat for improving physique in Douluo World, and the effect was truly obvious.
However, just as he was sighing with emotion, as the rolling hot current flowed through his body, fine beads of sweat began to appear on him.
Kong Deming could see that Kong Xuan and Kong Ling's bodies were gradually turning red at this moment; this was the whale jelly exerting its body-tempering effect.
He looked serious, ready to act at any time, because the subsequent process would not be as pleasant as before.
Sweat had already soaked their clothes, and Kong Ling's body swayed, seemingly on the verge of collapsing at any moment.
"Circulate your spirit power to absorb the medicinal effect!"
Kong Deming let out a low shout, and Kong Xuan and Kong Ling quickly followed suit.
As their body temperature gradually increased, the originally gentle warm current seemed to turn into a violent raging fire. Even with their spirit power circulating, they could still feel the pain of their bodies being burned by the fierce flames.
Kong Xuan frowned tightly, his breathing gradually becoming heavy. His reaction was within Kong Deming's expectations.
On the other hand, Kong Ling was biting her lip tightly at this moment. No matter how much pain her body was in, she did not make a single sound.
She gritted her teeth and persevered. Even though her brother had said she could cry out if it hurt, this time she didn't want to listen to her brother's "arrangement"!
Looking at the two who were persistently enduring, Kong Deming's brows relaxed, and he nodded in satisfaction.
To become a powerhouse, talent alone is not enough.
He was becoming more and more pleased with this pair of grandchildren he had acknowledged.
With a wave of his right hand, two snow-white orbs the size of an adult's fist appeared before him.
Under Kong Deming's control, these two orbs floated towards Kong Xuan and Kong Ling respectively, finally stopping in front of their chests.
These were spirit tools Kong Deming had specially prepared for the two of them. As he infused his spirit power, wisps of coolness began to spread throughout the room, but most of the cold air enveloped the two children.
With the spirit tools cooling them down, the pain on Kong Xuan and Kong Ling's bodies seemed to lessen significantly, and their breathing gradually stabilized.
"Hoo!"
Seeing this, Kong Deming also breathed a sigh of relief.
From now on, there should be no more worries.
