Chapter 3: Martial Soul
Lexius never thought that one day he would be sweating profusely because he helped others awaken their martial soul.
He felt numb all over.
"Hiss..."
Lexius took a breath of cold air and thought to himself how terrifying it was. It was just a martial soul awakening, so what?
Just maintaining the awakening ceremony consumed 80% of his soul power.
"What's going on? What's going on!"
Neuvillette was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing his soul power. If it were an ordinary person, Lexius would have cut off the soul power transmission long ago, but this was his grandson.
How could he give up on his future?
The stranger it was, the more powerful the martial soul would be after awakening.
But he couldn't hold on any longer.
Just when Lexius was sweating profusely and was about to resign himself to his fate, Neuvillette, who was suspended one meter above the ground, changed.
Lexius saw a water-blue "figure" faintly appearing behind him. His appearance was very similar to Neuvillette. He had a righteous face, holding a "crutch", and had white hair with two aqua-blue strands that looked like dragon horns...
At the same time, Neuvillette, who was awakening his martial soul, had his hair turn from black to white, and two strands of aqua hair also appeared on the top of his head. These were actually the dragon horns of the Hydro Dragon. However, after the Hydro Dragon appeared in human form, the dragon horns' shape had changed from before. As for the "crutch", it did not appear. It could be seen that it was not part of the martial soul.
Lexius's eyes widened, and he murmured incredulously, "Human...humanoid martial...martial soul?"
There were humanoid martial souls on the Douluo Continent.
Yes, very rare, and all of them were extremely powerful existences.
Among them, the most representative one was the inherited martial soul of the Spirit Hall: Seraphim.
Lexius glanced at Neuvillette, and then at the figure behind him. They looked so similar.
It could be said that this figure was the grown-up Neuvillette.
"How could this be? Does little Neuv really have extraordinary origin?"
He couldn't figure it out, it was really weird.
If he couldn't figure it out, he shouldn't think too much. Martial souls were all kinds of strange. Maybe it was a mutated martial soul?
On the Douluo Continent, anything that could not be explained clearly could be explained by mutation.
Mutated soul skills, mutated martial arts, mutated soul rings, soul bones, etc.!
Lexius was already very satisfied that Neuvillette could successfully awaken his martial soul. What else could he ask for?
The martial soul had awakened, and Lexius no longer needed to maintain the soul power transmission.
Just when he was about to cut off the soul power transmission, the mutation happened again.
He saw an aqua blue "book" slowly appearing in front of Neuvillette, and then falling into Neuvillette's right hand.
Its body had lines like ocean waves, which looked very extraordinary.
Lexius was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes with his left hand, shook his head in disbelief, and murmured, "Twin, twin martial souls?"
'First there was a humanoid martial soul, and then there was a martial soul similar to a book. What was this?
So Neuvillette was actually a twin martial soul?'
'Did I find a treasure?'
At this moment, Neuvillette opened his eyes. At this time, he was still a little confused.
Focalors did not die, and traveled to the Douluo Continent with him. However, now she had some conditions and was unable to maintain her human form. She needed sufficient energy to transform into a human form again.
She could only "live" in his sea of consciousness temporarily, and when she collected enough energy, she could leave his sea of consciousness again and transform into a human form.
This kind of thing could not be accomplished overnight.
Neuvillette's mood was heavy and gloomy. It was a relief for him that Focalors was not dead. This short-lived wife was his favorite idol figure in his previous life... ahem.
Well, he did not expect that Focalors actually existed.
"Focalors, I will help you reshape your body."
Neuvillette thought to himself.
Outside the house, the sky cleared. The drizzle stopped, and the sun broke through the dark clouds and illuminated the earth again.
"Little Neuv, you still like to cry so much."
Neuvillette did not hear Focalors' teasing words.
"My grandson is invincible."
After hearing this, Neuvillette almost ducked, but he quickly came back to his senses.
He glanced at Lexius in confusion. What was going on?
The old man was so excited.
He said he had the potential to become a soul master, so what? Even if he had a title, he could accept it. But how did he achieve this invincible posture?
Previously, Neuvillette had not recovered from the fact that Focalors was not dead and traveled to Douluo Continent with him, so she did not notice the changes in herself.
At this moment, he felt something. He found that his whole body was full of strength, and a book appeared in his right hand...
"Tome Of The Eternal Flow?"
He recognized this book.
'Wasn't this the special weapon of Hydro Dragon Neuvillette? What happened?
That feeling of blood connection was not an illusion.'
'My martial spirit is the Tome of Eternal Flow?'
Neuvillette blinked and felt something was wrong again. He seemed to have undergone some changes himself.
He only felt that the water molecules around him were unusually active. He seemed to be able to feel their emotions, condense them, and control them.
"Twin martial souls, grandson, you are invincible!"
Lexius said this excitedly, regardless of whether he was sweating profusely or whether this appearance would be embarrassing in front of Neuvillette. He directly took out a mirror made of crystal from the storage soul guide and placed it in front of Neuvillette.
Neuvillette: "???"
"Hiss~"
'Good heavens, how could I look exactly like the Hydro Dragon King Neuvillette?'
After looking at the figure behind him, he was more certain of one thing. The other "martial spirit" was Neuvillette.
"Is this really just a martial spirit?"
Neuvillette thought in confusion, but unfortunately, the figure behind him would not answer his question.
"No wonder, Focalors thinks I am the Hydro Dragon King Neuvillette..."
Neuvillette thought to himself that at this moment, he seemed to realize something.
Under the guidance of Lexius, Neuvillette quickly learned how to take back the martial spirit. However, what was strange was that after the martial spirit was taken back, his appearance remained the same as when he was "possessed by the martial spirit".
"Grandson, please remember, never use the second martial spirit unless absolutely necessary."
After saying this, Lexius seemed to have thought of something, shook his head, and continued: "That's not right. If someone is protecting you and they can't stop you from using the second martial spirit, then you can use the second martial spirit. It can't change anything..."
