Chapter 3: Innate Full Spirit Power, Apprenticeship to Kong Deming
After a long time, Xu Tianhao slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes had returned to normal, and the Purple Blazing Heaven Dragon Martial Soul had been withdrawn.
The miraculous sight vanished, but at this moment, Xu Tianhao still possessed a unique aura.
By now, the corners of Xu Tianhao's mouth couldn't stop curling upward.
Even without testing his innate spirit power yet, Xu Tianhao knew for certain that he must have Innate Full Spirit Power.
Because he possessed twin spirits, and they were the top-tier twin spirits of the current age.
There was no need to say more about the imperial family's inherited Purple Bright Heaven Extinguishing Dragon; the phrase "Ancestor of Sub-Dragons Ruling Over Destruction" was enough to explain everything.
His second Spirit was one of the meta-favorites in the Douluo II era—a Body Martial Soul.
His second Spirit was named the Sun Moon Divine Pupils, a top-tier Spirit that was a beneficial mutation combining the Sun and Moon inherited by the imperial family!
Just then, the spirit tool formation on the Obsidian Platform lit up again, and a light purple pillar of light rose from the formation, enveloping Xu Tianhao.
Within the pillar of light, countless tiny spots of light gathered into numbers, constantly changing from one to ten.
One, two, three... eight, nine, ten!
There was no doubt that Xu Tianhao possessed Innate Full Spirit Power.
Not to mention Xu Tianhao's own excitement, the Emperor Xu Jilong was already beyond excited.
One must know that even in the current era, Innate Full Spirit Power was still a peerless talent rarely seen in a hundred years.
What's more, Xu Tianhao had even awakened twin spirits!
Throughout the history of the Sun Moon Empire, there had only been one known possessor of twin spirits.
Xu Tianhao was the second!
"twin spirits! Innate Full Spirit Power!" The Emperor Xu Jilong's voice trembled slightly.
He walked quickly to Xu Tianhao's side and patted his son's shoulder, his eyes filled with excitement and relief:
"Good! Good! Good! As expected of my son!!"
Xu Tianran also stepped forward, giving Xu Tianhao a hug, and said excitedly:
"Tianhao, you've really done us proud! twin spirits, Innate Full Spirit Power! In the future, you will surely become a Spirit Master even more powerful than Big Brother!"
Xu Tianzhen also crowded over, taking Xu Tianhao's small hand and chattering away:
"Brother, from now on, you're the super genius of our Empire! When you become powerful in the future, you have to protect me!"
Feeling the joy and care of his family, Xu Tianhao's heart was filled with warmth.
Top-tier twin spirits—this was the result Xu Tianhao had looked forward to the most.
Xu Tianhao really wanted to shout, "From this moment on, the future shall be dominated by me alone!"
In the original story, a disabled Xu Tianran almost crushed the three great Empires. If it weren't for Tang San shamelessly playing the Sea God proxy, the Douluo Continent would have long ago been named Xu.
Now that Xu Tianran was at full strength, plus a Xu Tianhao, the future was bright.
The Emperor Xu Jilong couldn't help but ask, "Hao'er, quickly tell your Imperial Father about your twin spirits."
Xu Tianran and Xu Tianzhen also cast expectant gazes.
Xu Tianhao walked down from the Awakening Stage and spoke slowly, "There's no need to mention the Purple Blazing Heaven Dragon Martial Soul; it's our imperial family's inherited Spirit."
The Emperor Xu Jilong nodded, waiting for Xu Tianhao to continue.
Xu Tianhao continued, "My second Spirit is called the Sun Moon Divine Pupils. It is a Body Martial Soul and includes the Sun and Moon from our inherited Spirits."
Hearing Xu Tianhao's words, the Emperor Xu Jilong nodded. "As I thought. I already had some suspicions from the miraculous sight when your Spirit awakened just now."
Xu Tianhao continued, "My Sun Moon Divine Pupils is a spiritual attribute Body Martial Soul."
"The Sun Moon Divine Pupils has the spiritual attribute as its primary focus, and it comes with the True Fire of the Sun from the Sun Spirit, as well as the Lunar Essence of Taiyin from the Moon Martial Soul."
The Emperor Xu Jilong was shocked upon hearing this. "Spiritual focus with the harmony of Yin and Yang... the potential of your second Spirit might even be above that of the Purple Bright Heaven Extinguishing Dragon."
Xu Tianran also showed an expression of envy. "I thought I'd be the one looking after you, but it looks like you'll be the one looking after Big Brother in the future."
Xu Tianzhen pulled Xu Tianhao's hand. "You have to look after your sister too."
Xu Tianhao gave a sincere smile. "Imperial Father, Big Brother, Fourth Sister, Tianhao will look after you all in the future."
...
After a bout of laughter, the Emperor Xu Jilong assumed his imperial majesty.
Since the Sixth Prince had awakened such top-tier talent as twin spirits, he naturally had to plan well for his son's future.
Especially regarding safety and protection; three months ago, the Eldest Prince had almost been harmed by the Second and Third Princes, which had pained the Emperor Xu Jilong deeply.
Therefore, he would not let any more accidents happen to the Sixth Prince.
So the Emperor Xu Jilong decided to ask his Maternal Great-grandfather, Kong Deming, to come out of seclusion and personally protect Xu Tianhao's path.
The name Kong Deming might not be well-remembered by many young people.
But in the eyes of the older generation, he was the stabilizing pillar of the Sun Moon Empire.
At the same time, Kong Deming was the first known twin spirits possessor in the history of the Sun Moon Empire.
Having him teach Xu Tianhao was undoubtedly the best choice.
As for Kong Deming, he originally had no intention of coming out. When the Emperor Xu Jilong had ascended the throne through internal strife, Kong Deming had remained indifferent.
But when he learned that Xu Tianhao had actually awakened twin spirits, Kong Deming eventually came out of seclusion.
Because twin spirits were not only his pride but also his regret.
He was the first twin spirits user in the history of the Sun Moon Empire.
Without any prior experience to draw from, although he became a Titled Douluo and the strongest Spirit Master in the history of the Sun Moon Empire, he had not fully utilized the advantages of twin spirits.
Later, he summarized his experience and found that his focus had been wrong. Unfortunately, he was already old and had no chance to retread his path.
But now that Xu Tianhao had appeared, he would absolutely not allow Xu Tianhao to follow his old path.
Moreover, Xu Tianhao's Sun Moon Divine Pupils Spirit was of the spiritual attribute.
A spiritual attribute Spirit Master has a thirty percent greater innate advantage than other Spirits after becoming a Soul Engineer.
With all these reasons combined, Kong Deming had no reason not to come out.
Thus, Kong Deming came out of seclusion and took Xu Tianhao as his last disciple.
There was also a funny little interlude here.
Kong Deming possessed a quarter of the imperial bloodline because his mother was born in the Sun Moon Empire.
Even when the Emperor Xu Jilong saw Kong Deming, he had to respectfully call him "Maternal Great-grandfather."
Now that Xu Tianhao had become Kong Deming's disciple, he suddenly became of the same generation as the Emperor Xu Jilong's grandfather.
If Xu Tianhao had been mischievous at the time, a hilarious scene might have occurred: I call you father, you call me grandfather, we'll each follow our own seniority...
Fortunately, Xu Tianhao didn't care about seniority or such things; at home, he was addressed as he always was.
After becoming Kong Deming's disciple, the most important matter of Spirit cultivation was settled.
Kong Deming decided to let Xu Tianhao cultivate the Sun Moon Divine Pupils Spirit first because this Spirit was of the spiritual attribute.
Cultivating this Spirit first would be beneficial for Xu Tianhao's attainments in spirit tools.
Most importantly, by cultivating the Sun Moon Divine Pupils Spirit first, he could later add spirit rings of at least the ten-thousand-year level to the Purple Blazing Heaven Dragon Martial Soul.
By then, the Purple Bright Heaven Extinguishing Dragon, already a top-tier attack system Spirit ruling over destruction, paired with spirit rings starting at the ten-thousand-year level...
The terrifying power that could erupt then would be unimaginable.
And this decision coincided perfectly with Xu Tianhao's own thoughts.
So he did not refuse and decisively chose to cultivate the Sun Moon Divine Pupils Spirit first.
Besides this, Kong Deming and the Emperor Xu Jilong also unanimously decided to conceal Xu Tianhao's twin spirits.
Before he had completely grown up, it was best not to expose the Purple Blazing Heaven Dragon Martial Soul.
This would also prevent those with ulterior motives from plotting against Xu Tianhao because he was too much of a genius.
Although he had Kong Deming personally protecting him, even a Level 99 Limit Douluo might not necessarily have the chance to assassinate Xu Tianhao.
But being low-key when one should be can always avoid many unnecessary troubles.
Xu Tianhao naturally had no objection to this.
He was well aware that within the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, two Level 99 Limit Douluos were currently hidden.
