UNRIVALED TANG SECT : Sharing Life With Firefly (Doulou 2)

The Sun and Moon Empire has carefully studied the Ultimate Martial Soul due to past grievances, but if one truly wishes to understand it, Shrek Academy remains unparalleled.

However, sending the two youngsters to Shrek Academy is not a straightforward decision. While she might be willing, her sister is not, and neither are the influential figures in the Sun and Moon Empire.

Her sister is different from her. She harbors hostility toward the original Douluo Three Empires, especially Shrek Academy.

When they represented the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the Continent-wide Advanced Soul Master Academy Fighting Soul Competition, they lost to Shrek Academy and even lost three close classmates.

Due to her personality, she doesn't hold grudges.

After all, in the arena, accidents happen, and it can only be said that her classmate was unfortunate.

But her sister is different. Her sister's resentment runs deep, which is why she joined the military of the Sun and Moon Empire and became the head of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Legion.

Her sister is much stronger than her and has always held a grudge against Shrek Academy.

Fire Phoenix Douluo frowned. This was indeed a problem, but she still shook her head and said, "I'll figure this out. Illustrious Virtue Hall should have also studied the Ultimate Martial Soul. They might have a way to help it grow. In terms of resources, we are not far behind Shrek Academy."

"That's all we can do for now," Luan Yu sighed. She had considered sending Liuxing and Liuying to the Earth Dragon Gate, joining Shrek Academy under its name, and then obtaining Shrek Academy's methods for cultivating the Ultimate Martial Soul.

However, after much thought, she realized that after traveling across the continent for years, she had seen things clearly.

Whether it's the Sun and Moon Empire, the original Douluo Three Empires, or Shrek Academy, none of them are simple.

There are deep-seated conflicts on all sides, and war is inevitable. The Sun and Moon Empire is only being held back by the current emperor; otherwise, tensions would have already erupted.

Once war breaks out, Liuxing and Liuying, who would have joined Shrek Academy, might find themselves facing off against the Sun and Moon Empire.

This would put her in a difficult position. Besides, she didn't believe that with her and her sister's combined efforts, they couldn't cultivate the Ultimate Martial Soul.

Liuxing played with the flame in his hand.

He had read about the Ultimate Martial Soul in books.

However, he is different. When Liuying's cultivation improves, his soul power increases as well, and vice versa.

This dual cultivation speed helps bridge the gap between the Ultimate Martial Soul and ordinary top-tier martial souls.

While it may not completely close the gap, it at least prevents them from falling too far behind.

Additionally, Liuxing felt the continuous flow of life energy within his body, making him extremely comfortable.

Perhaps because Liuying inherited the divinity of the Goddess of Life, or due to genes being closely tied to life, both their martial souls possess not only fire and destruction attributes but also hidden life attributes.

This life energy flowing within them is a manifestation of their martial soul talent—the Domain of Life.

Their Domain, though currently confined within their bodies, allows them to instinctively absorb the soul power, transforming it into pure life force to replenish their energy and heal their injuries.

This ability might be limited now due to their current weakness, and it remains uncertain whether the Domain will evolve as they grow stronger in the future.

With this life Domain, as long as they are not beheaded, no matter how severe their injuries, they will recover over time.

Liuxing even suspects that with enough time and soul power converted into life force, they could regenerate severed limbs.

This life Domain also opens up the possibility of using extreme training methods that overdraw vitality to boost cultivation.

However, Liuying, who is cautious and values life, would likely oppose such risky methods.

She is determined to live and would never allow Liuxing to recklessly squander his life force.

Despite the challenges of the Ultimate Martial Soul, Liuxing is confident that his cultivation speed will not fall behind his peers.

He knows that the age of the soul ring significantly impacts the soul power gained during absorption. Given his and Liuying's exceptional physical fitness, they could afford to be more ambitious with their first soul ring.

A bold choice for the first soul ring would also allow for more flexibility with subsequent soul rings.

Three days passed quickly. During this time, Luan Yu didn't rush to take Liuxing and Liuying to hunt for their first soul ring.

Instead, she allowed them to familiarize themselves with their martial souls and study the soul beast illustrated book to identify suitable soul beasts. Only after thorough preparation did they set out to hunt.

Fire Phoenix Douluo also set aside her military duties to assist. She reviewed extensive materials to help the two lay a solid foundation.

She didn't intend for them to follow the traditional soul master path, which focuses on combat.

For the Ultimate Martial Soul, it would be a waste to take the soul master route that relies heavily on soul tools.

So, she considered a hybrid approach: choosing soul beast soul rings that enhance or amplify soul power and soul tools, rather than purely combat-related skills.

This would allow for a broader selection of soul beasts, unlike the strict requirements of the traditional soul master path, where the bloodline and power of the soul beast directly influence the strength of the soul skill.

After discussing with Luan Yu, Fire Phoenix Douluo concluded that the two youngsters are not suited for the traditional soul master path.

While they can learn to create and use soul tools, obtaining soul rings must be tailored to their unique needs, ensuring they enhance their combat power effectively.

They must avoid using pills with side effects to boost their soul power level.

While such shortcuts might be acceptable for soul engineers, they are unacceptable for traditional soul masters who rely on precise control and compatibility, as these factors directly impact their combat effectiveness and future potential.

"In other words, the future path for you two will be that of an actual control soul master," Luan Yu explained with a smile.

Liuxing raised his hand and asked, "Auntie, what is an actual control soul Engineer?"

Luan Yu patiently elaborated: "An actual control soul Engineer is, in simple terms, a soul Engineer who excels at using various soul tools to enhance their combat power. While traditional soul masters rely on their soul skills to amplify the power of soul guides, actual control Soul Engineers do the opposite, they use soul guides to amplify their soul skills and overall combat effectiveness."

Liuxing understood the distinction.

Traditional soul masters depend heavily on soul guides; without them, they are fragile and vulnerable. In contrast, actual control Soul Engineers treat soul tools as tools. Even without soul tools, they can still wield significant combat power.

Both paths have their advantages and disadvantages, but for Liuxing and Liuying, the actual control route seems to align better with their unique abilities and potential.
