Chapter 8: Theoretical Master
The Master just glanced obliquely at the gatekeeper without paying him any attention, saying, “Old mister, could you show me the proof from Spirit Hall?”
Taking the proof from Spirit Hall from the two old men, the Master flipped it open and looked. When viewing Tang San’s proof, he first revealed a surprised expression.
Then, after viewing Ling Mo’s proof, his expression tightened even more, which he then calmly concealed.
“The proof is fine, old mister. Leave these two children to me!”
His gaze swept back and forth between Tang San and Ling Mo, making Ling Mo’s expression tighten.
“This guy wouldn’t have noticed something, right? It seems he could too. Just from one proof, he figured out Tang San’s dual Martial Souls. It shouldn’t be hard for him to notice my secret…
But in various versions of Douluo, there doesn’t seem to have appeared a Martial Soul that exists as a light source like mine. He probably doesn’t know the effect of my Martial Soul…”
After careful consideration, Ling Mo wanted to see how the Master would perform next, and whether he could really detect the clues about his Martial Soul.
In the end, Ling Mo still didn’t know what his Martial Soul really was. If it was light, the dual pupils in his eyes were hard to explain.
If it was dual pupils, the terrifying amplification of the Five-Colored Divine Light couldn’t be explained, but these two seemed to have no actual connection.
Could he also have twin Martial Souls? No way? Ten Douluos and nine with twin Martial Souls?
“You two, come in with me…”
Saying this, the Master had already walked in first. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to warn the gatekeeper, as Ling Mo had just taught him a lesson.
The two followed the Master all the way into the academy, and along the way, the Master kept impacting Tang San’s inner thoughts until killing intent stirred.
With a splendid performance, the Master thoroughly extracted all the secrets of Tang San’s Martial Soul. Just from one proof, he guessed Tang San’s twin Martial Souls.
This performance directly shocked Tang San, and Ling Mo was even more impressed to the point of prostrating in admiration.
“As expected of the number one Master in Douluo, mentor to thousands of transmigrators. This theoretical knowledge is awesome（ beyond measure!）”
As expected, Tang San successfully became his disciple, while Ling Mo remained unmoved because up to this point, the Master hadn’t mentioned any of Ling Mo’s secrets.
“You’re called Ling Mo?”
The Master finally spoke, his gaze never willing to leave Ling Mo’s body. He was a sage obsessed with Martial Soul research and unable to extricate himself.
Seeing such a peculiar Martial Soul, he couldn’t help but feel some excitement.
“Master, yes! My name is Ling Mo. Just now I heard you talk for a long time, and seeing your confident appearance, could it be that you’ve also researched my Martial Soul?”
Without waiting for the Master to speak first, Ling Mo took the initiative to ask back, drawing Tang San’s attention as well.
Regarding Ling Mo’s Martial Soul and its abilities, it was always the thing Tang San was most curious about, still an unsolved mystery to this day.
“Hehe, your personality is quite like that of a friend of mine—lively, active, expert in swindling and deception, cunning and slippery in every way… Just now with that gatekeeper, did you use your strange dual pupils to make him kneel?”
Shocked!
Ling Mo was instantly stunned. Just now, he had his back to everyone, and even Tang San hadn’t noticed his actions, yet the Master had discovered it?
“How did you notice?”
Yes, just now Ling Mo had used the suppression effect of the dual pupils to produce soul resonance. Under the shadow of the double pupils, he reversed the operation of Yin and Yang, directly conveying a kneel command to the gatekeeper through the dual pupils.
This was another use of the dual pupils, with extremely powerful suppression power. This was only in Douluo; in other worlds, Ling Mo’s dual pupils were a legendary supreme bloodline, an existence that drew attention wherever he went.
At this moment… a brat drinking beast milk passed by, glancing at him disdainfully and showing off his own bone, expressing great dissatisfaction with Ling Mo’s words.
Just now, it was because the gatekeeper’s strength was too weak. If their levels were similar, Ling Mo couldn’t have done it, but… there was also the enhancement effect of the Five-Colored Divine Light.
“From this proof of yours, your secret is no less impactful than Tang San’s…”
Weighing the paper in his hand, the Master continued, “I’ve investigated many types of Martial Souls, but I’ve never seen one that exists as a light source. You’re an anomaly.
Imagine, a light source body, without a carrier, how can it bear the coexistence of Soul Power?
So, the information on this proof is wrong. Your Martial Soul! Is not light! But these eyes…”
The Master explained everything in one sentence, greatly surprising Ling Mo. He had long guessed this, but hadn’t gotten confirmation.
The Master’s words matched one of his previous guesses, but… how to explain the Five-Colored Divine Light?
“Master, you say my Martial Soul should be the dual pupils, existing as a body Martial Soul! Then… what about this light? The power of light can amplify my own attributes. Saying it’s not a Martial Soul doesn’t hold up, right?”
He was very curious. Ling Mo didn’t know enough about Martial Souls yet, so many things were still unclear to him.
“You’ve hit the nail on the head! Remember how I figured out Xiao San’s twin Martial Souls earlier?”
The Master smiled slightly. Upon hearing this, Ling Mo suddenly realized that just now the Master had deduced Tang San’s twin Martial Souls from just one proof in his hand.
And it was because of a key factor on it: innate full Soul Power! Ling Mo also possessed this same point: innate full Soul Power.
“Innate full Soul Power?”
Ling Mo probed questioningly. As soon as he spoke, the Master immediately continued, “Exactly, innate full Soul Power! Your Light Martial Soul is well-known to be the most ordinary thing, without attack power, so it couldn’t bear innate full Soul Power.
Therefore… I deduced that your Martial Soul must have another one, which is the dual pupils. Under the condition of using the dual pupils as carrier, the power of light is released!
So, many times when you use your Martial Soul, you use the dual pupils. Am I right or not?”
It seemed to make sense. Every time Ling Mo used his Martial Soul, he used the dual pupils to directly steal the opponent’s supernatural ability and the characteristics of all objects in his line of sight.
Ling Mo had preliminarily calculated that the Five-Colored Divine Light mostly served to amplify himself in aspects like power, defense, speed, and so on.
“But what connection do these two have?”
Ling Mo asked again, and this time, the Master gave a careful answer.
“Very good! Sharp question. The relationship between these two is like a symbiotic parasite that coexists, neither interfering with the other yet closely linked!
Because your Martial Soul itself mutated, thereby separating out an energy body with light as its source.
This doesn’t mean your Five-Colored Divine Light has no effect. On the contrary… precisely because of this, your future development will be even more terrifying than Xiao San’s.
Because your two Martial Souls produce resonance from their combination, meaning you can simultaneously use the abilities of the dual pupils and light together. This gives you, at the same level, a power more terrifying than others…
According to what you said before, the ability of light is amplification, so… combat means come from the dual pupils. Combining the two, imagine in a battle at the same level, who could defeat you?”
“I understand! Thank you, Master, for your guidance…”
After all this, Ling Mo finally understood what his Martial Soul really was.
Simply put, the dual pupils were the main tool for stealing Martial Souls, while the Five-Colored Divine Light was another tool for further amplification after stealing the Martial Soul.
“However, I have another question! After I obtain a Soul Ring, which one does my Soul Ring belong to—light or dual pupils?”
Ling Mo asked again, and this question stumped the Master a bit.
“That depends on your own choice! According to what you said, light is a factor for amplifying yourself, so… choosing to add the Soul Ring to light early on will give your power a huge amplification.
As for the dual pupils… I’ve never seen such a strange Martial Soul, so I don’t know what wonderful abilities your dual pupils have…”
