Inside the Soul Guidance Emergency Center.
"Disciple, your martial soul should be your own shadow, right? And its ultimate attribute is darkness, isn't it?"
Mu Ye sat opposite Jiang Xiu and asked gently.
"How did you know that, Senior?"
Jiang Xiu pretended to be surprised and played along with Mu Ye.
Although the Body Sect is now in decline, its various secret techniques are still very powerful. Although his martial soul is Shadow Monarch, according to Mu Ye, it can also be considered a Body Martial Soul, and he might even be able to undergo a second awakening of his Body Martial Soul.
And now he is helpless and has no resources for future cultivation, so it's naturally better to have more options and more paths.
Moreover, although Mu Ye has not broken through to Super Douluo, his strength is undeniable; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the strongest person below Limit Douluo.
And Mu Ye also has an old friend, Zhen Hua...
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiu instantly felt that his future had become brighter.
"Come, let me see."
Seeing Jiang Xiu agree, Mu Ye smiled proudly. As the sect leader of the Body Sect, his understanding of Body Martial Souls was crystal clear.
Jiang Xiu glanced at Dong Zi'an beside him. Seeing that he didn't object, he prepared to summon his Shadow Monarch Martial Soul.
After all, Dong Zi'an's status was equally extraordinary. The Western Legion was second only to the Central Legion and the Sea God Legion among the eight legions, and he had to take care of him as well.
There was no other way; he was too eager to improve his cultivation.
Rather than struggling to find resources on his own, it was better to join a powerful force.
A faint light appeared, and a black shadow emerged from beneath Jiang Xiu's feet, standing behind him. A cold, dark aura emanated from it, and a pair of blood-red eyes stared at Mu Ye.
"Not bad, it really is a Shadow Martial Soul. This dark power is simply too righteous."
The moment Mu Ye saw the Shadow Martial Soul appear, his previously calmed heart stirred slightly again, and he glanced at Dong Zi'an beside him from time to time.
Dong Zian revealed a playful smile. Having known Mu Ye for so many years, he knew exactly what Mu Ye wanted to do.
Immediately, Dong Zian's lips parted slightly, and a voice transmission reached Mu Ye's ear.
"Jiang Xiu's first martial soul is the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. Can you protect it?"
After hearing the transmission, Mu Ye frowned, as if remembering something. He looked at Jiang Xiu, then at Dong Zian, and finally sighed.
"Speak. You called me here because you want me to teach Jiang Xiu, but you're hesitating now. What's your real intention?"
Seeing that the time was right, Dong Zian's eyes suddenly deepened, and he slowly revealed his true purpose.
"I want the two of us to teach Jiang Xiu together. I'll teach him the art of killing, and you'll teach him self-forging, helping him awaken his original martial soul's second awakening."
"So concerned about him? Who is Jiang Xiu to you? You two don't seem like that at all.
Jiang Xiu is so handsome; he'll definitely be a heartthrob in the future. As for you... you're barely human."
Upon hearing this, Mu Ye instantly became interested and asked with a hint of teasing.
"We're not related. Jiang Xiu's parents were warriors of the Blood God Legion, and they've both sacrificed themselves. I didn't want to see Jiang Xiu's talent go to waste, so I came up with this plan. Otherwise, do you think I would have called you?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ye's smile instantly froze on his face. Looking at the young Jiang Xiu before him, a slight sense of guilt surfaced.
Damn it, he actually joked like that.
"But in order to nurture Jiang Xiu to the greatest extent, you're actually willing to let me become Jiang Xiu's master as well, Old Dong…you rascal."
Mu Ye looked at Dong Zi'an with approval. The two had known each other for many years. Dong Zi'an had never married and had no children. His greatest wish was to find someone to inherit his mantle, and now he was willing to share his disciple with him.
"So, what's your decision?"
Dong Zi'an stared intently at Mu Ye, although he had already guessed the answer.
"Since you've made such a big concession, what reason do I have to refuse? However, Jiang Xiu must also be a disciple of our Body Sect and inherit our Body Sect in the future."
Mu Ye shrugged slightly and added at the end.
"If Jiang Xiu is willing, I naturally have no problem with that. After all, we're only going to teach him, not to manipulate or control his own thoughts,"
Dong Zian said softly.
"Alright! Then let's work together and see what kind of monster we can cultivate."
Mu Ye felt his heart pounding deep inside; he hadn't felt this kind of drive in years.
In an instant, although their goals differed, the two reached a consensus.
Jiang Xiu looked at the two before him, a ripple appearing in his eyes. He could tell they were secretly communicating, and the topic of their conversation was undoubtedly.
"I should also add fuel to the fire for my future."
After a moment's thought, Jiang Xiu made a decision.
"Uncle Dong, and this senior, it seems there's a problem with my second martial soul."
"What problem? Do you feel any discomfort?"
Dong Zian and Mu Ye immediately tensed up upon hearing this; their plan couldn't afford to fall apart halfway.
"It's just that I seem to have a domain."
Jiang Xiu tentatively said.
"What?!"
"My disciple has an innate domain! Goodness, Old Dong, you're still keeping this from me? Are we even brothers?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ye felt as if he had been struck by incredible luck, as if all the good things had happened to him, and his lips curled into a wide grin.
But Dong Zian's concealment of the information from him angered him.
"No, I really didn't know that."
Seeing the disdainful look Mu Ye gave him, Dong Zian felt quite wronged; he had only just found out himself.
But both of them clearly understood the meaning of an innate domain. Martial souls that possessed an innate domain were definitely among the strongest, the pinnacle of existence.
Jiang Xiu's Shadow Martial Soul is likely even stronger than the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul.
"Everyone thinks Yun Ming is the strongest on the continent, but I don't think so. My disciple Jiang Xiu also has the potential to be the strongest!"
Mu Ye declared, hands behind his back, his voice filled with pride.
"What are you babbling about? We haven't even asked Jiang Xiu if he agrees to us being his masters yet,"
Dong Zi'an glared at Mu Ye, but kept a close eye on Jiang Xiu's expression as he spoke.
Mu Ye also glanced at Jiang Xiu intently.
"Master, what are you talking about?"
Jiang Xiu asked, puzzled.
"Hmm? You…you…"
The two were taken aback for a moment, then exchanged a smile.
Jiang Xiu, with a smile, indicated that he was so eager to improve his cultivation that he didn't need just one master; he wanted them both!
"Uncle Dong, my parents are both warriors of the Blood God Legion, and you were the ones who rescued me. Naturally, I have the utmost respect for you."
"Senior, you said you held me when I was little. Although I don't remember, I believe you. Having you two as my masters is my greatest blessing,"
Jiang Xiu said sincerely.
These sincere words made Mu Ye's face flush slightly, but he forcibly suppressed it, after all, he had indeed been exaggerating earlier.
"It's alright, child. It's perhaps our honor to teach you,"
Dong Zi'an said softly, a smile appearing on his serious face.
"But masters, who is the first master and who is the second master?"
Jiang Xiu asked, a glint of light in his eyes.
"Of course, I'm the first master,"
Mu Ye said matter-of-factly.
"Childish,"
Dong Zi'an snorted, a look of disdain on his lips.
But the next moment, a soft voice rang out.
"I'll be the first master, and you, Mu Ye, will be the second master. It's settled then."
"Old Dong, you…"
