Ultimately, under Dong Zian's forceful demands, Mu Ye could only rank second, forced to "voluntarily" become Jiang Xiu's second master.
"Just wait, this position of master will be mine sooner or later."
Mu Ye looked at the somewhat smug Dong Zian and secretly vowed to surpass him step by step.
"By the way, my good disciple, quickly test your spiritual strength, then we'll hurry and find a suitable first soul spirit for you to officially begin your cultivation path."
Mu Ye took out a silver-white metal helmet and handed it to Jiang Xiu, somewhat expectantly.
With two ultimate martial souls, Jiang Xiu was clearly born with full soul power, and now it was necessary to see how strong his spiritual strength was.
However, in his opinion, it shouldn't be too weak, but it wouldn't be too strong either, since neither of Jiang Xiu's two martial souls were of the spiritual attribute.
Jiang Xiu respectfully thanked him, took the helmet with both hands, and slowly put it on his head, his originally calm state of mind rippling slightly.
Two thousand years ago, spiritual power already had precise levels of classification. Compared to absorbing soul rings ten thousand years ago, the current fusion of soul spirits places more emphasis on spiritual power.
Therefore, the stronger the spiritual power, the longer one can fuse with a soul spirit.
As Jiang Xiu put on the metal helmet, it emitted soft white halos, and the numbers one the front of the helmet began to appear and kept jumping.
"Ten...fifty...sixty...ninety...breaks one hundred!"
"No, it's still rising!"
Watching the numbers soar upwards, Mu Ye and Dong Zi'an's eyes were all focused on it, their eyes filled with surprise mixed with a little shock.
You must know that for newly awakened soul masters, except for those with spiritual attributes, a spiritual power of fifty is already considered genius, and breaking one hundred is already reaching another level.
"Beep!"
With a soft beep, the value stopped, finally settling at 192.
This unexpectedly high number made Mu Ye hold his breath, looking at Jiang Xiu as if he were a priceless treasure.
Dong Zi'an, standing beside him, had a glint in his eyes, a bold idea rising in his mind.
"Perhaps, in the future, I can really drive the Abyss out of Douluo Continent, turn the tide, and become the strongest person on the continent? Ha! I might actually be able to create a god!"
He, Dong Zi'an, had always been best suited to fighting against the odds.
"My precious disciple, you are actually a born Spirit Realm cultivator! It's truly a blessing from heaven for my Body Sect."
Mu Ye gently removed the helmet from Jiang Xiu's head, but his slightly trembling hands and barely suppressed tone fully revealed his excitement.
Jiang Xiu had given him too much of a shock just now. With twin ultimate martial souls and the innate Spirit Realm, Jiang Xiu had no weaknesses among his peers.
"Mental and spiritual connection, the reach of will, the Spiritual Connection Realm..."
Jiang Xiu murmured to himself.
This spiritual power was both unexpected and expected, given that the Shadow King represented the Shadow Torrent, and the spiritual power it bestowed upon him was naturally formidable.
The spiritual power realms are divided into six levels: Spiritual Origin Realm, Spiritual Connection Realm, Spiritual Sea Realm, Spiritual Abyss Realm, Spiritual Domain Realm, and the legendary Divine Origin Realm.
The Spiritual Origin Realm represents the beginning of all things, a renewal of all things, with spiritual power ranging from 1 to 100.
The Spiritual Connection Realm signifies mental and spiritual connection, the reach of will, with spiritual power ranging from 100 to 500.
"Come, let your master arrange a soul spirit for you. I'll find you the best and most suitable one. I have connections at the Spirit Transmission Tower headquarters," Mu Ye said,putting away his helmet, his eyes gleaming.
The spiritual power of the Spiritual Connection Realm means that a soul master can fuse with a thousand-year-old soul spirit or two hundred-year-old soul spirits.
"That's fine too. All the top spirits in the world are at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters. As for Xiao Xiu, why don't you start by cultivating your first spirit with your second master?"
Dong Zian nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Xiu and asked softly.
"I'll listen to my master."
Jiang Xiu obediently replied, inwardly sighing. If it weren't for these two powerful backers, he'd likely have a difficult future, working for his own soul spirit.
His parents' pension was substantial, but top-tier soul spirits weren't cheap either, their prices equally exorbitant.
The three continued their discussion, finalizing Jiang Xiu's initial cultivation path. Mu Ye then left the Soul Guidance Emergency Center, took out his communication soul guide device, and dialed a number near the top of the queue.
"Why did you remember me?"a hoarse yet energetic voice called out.
"Uncle-Master, I just missed you,"
Mu Ye said with a beaming smile.
"Nonsense, you need something again, don't you? Speak quickly."
The voice clearly didn't believe him, as if already convinced.
"Uncle-Master, you're so insightful! I've become a hero of our Body Sect this time; I've taken on a disciple with extraordinary talent..."
Mu Ye was exposed, but not annoyed at all. Instead, he chuckled and explained Jiang Xiu's situation, expressing his need for a soul spirit.
"Such a genius exists in this world! Bring him here immediately!"
The person on the other end of the communication was equally astonished, speaking urgently.
"What about the soul spirit?"
"That's a minor matter. A top-tier dark attribute soul spirit has just arrived at the Spirit Pagoda. I'm sure your disciple will love it."
"No problem, we'll be at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters tomorrow morning."
Hearing his request granted, Mu Ye quickly replied.
"Heh, Mu Ye, you've grown up. You know how to recruit talent for the Body Sect now."
The voice said with satisfaction, then hung up.
"Alas, if we don't recruit talent soon, the Body Sect will perish."
Mu Ye sighed slightly, then suppressed the thought. This was the Body Sect of the past; now, with Jiang Xiu's Body Sect, it was preparing for a triumphant return!
"The Spirit Pagoda, the Tang Sect? My Body Sect can take their place!"
With this lofty goal in mind, Mu Ye turned and returned to the Soul Guidance Emergency Center.
As soon as Mu Ye entered, he saw Dong Zi'an handing Jiang Xiu two medals. These two medals were extremely special; besides the golden patterns, each had an abyss crystal core embedded in its center—the symbol of the Blood God Legion.
"Xiao Xiu, you'll be training with your second master from now on. I've also retrieved these two medals for you,"
Dong Zi'an said earnestly, placing the medals in Jiang Xiu's hands.
"Thank you, Master,"
Jiang Xiu said, looking at the two medals in his hand, gently wiping away the dust, a resolute glint in his eyes.
"Your second master is here; go with him. Remember, if you encounter anything you can't handle outside, or if someone bullies you, come back to your master, and I'll help you get revenge."
Dong Zi'an patted Jiang Xiu's shoulder, a fierce glint in his eyes, his tone unwavering.
In his youth, as a commoner, he had experienced all of these things. Back then, he was helpless and had to endure it all alone, but he couldn't let his disciple go through the same ordeal.
Currently, within the vast Federal Legion, only Chen Xinjie and Yu Guanzhi hold a higher status than him. He'd like to see who dares to bully his disciple, the Fierce Wolf Douluo, in the future.
