Chapter 6

Twin Martial Souls! The Original Martial Soul!

For the past few days, Ning Fan had been feeling dizzy, but at this moment, all discomfort disappeared.

He didn't know what had happened. After using his last bit of strength to defeat the ancient jade, he completely lost consciousness. The sudden feeling of falling seemed to pull him into another world.

In a hazy world, a gentle breeze rustles through the withered grass.

Several exposed rocks were severely weathered, bearing the marks of time, and even the river flowing down from the distant mountain peaks was icy cold.

This is a wasteland.

In the middle of the wasteland, a towering giant soars into the sky, shrouded in mist.

This is an extremely ugly tree, with no branches, only extending and growing upwards.

Standing in the icy river water, Ning Fan's consciousness instantly returned.

He felt somewhat helpless. Having inherited the sect's direct lineage martial soul, he was powerless against these elders who liked to trip him up.

When the boy looked back dejectedly and noticed the strange tree, several eerie orbs of light were already swirling around its twisted roots.

The orb of light was engraved with strange runes, giving it an inexplicable attraction. Only when he got closer could he see what was written on it.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

"Earth Release - Earth Current Wall."

"Wind Release - Dust Technique".

Huh? WTF?

Ning Fan was stunned when he saw these things.

Isn't this the ninjutsu from the Naruto movie next door?

And my eyes are... a one-tomoe Sharingan?!

"Is...this a system?"

Staring incredulously at the ball of light carrying the ninjutsu, the boy gazed at his reflection in the river for a long time before finally letting out a silly shout.

But in this desolate wasteland, only his own echo responded to him.

After a long while, when he looked at the strange, towering object again, a not-so-good idea popped into his mind.

Now that the Sharingan and ninjutsu have appeared, could this towering tree, which is uglier than anything else, be the Divine Tree from the Naruto anime, the Ten-Tails...?

After gazing at the towering tree for a long time, Ning Fan was basically certain of his thoughts.

Fortunately, this guy is only in tree form for now. After all, the Ten-Tails is a monster that can destroy the world. In some ways, it is comparable to a god in the Douluo Continent.

If a fully grown Ten-Tails were placed here, he'd probably be dead by now!

After several unsuccessful attempts to contact the system, Ning Fan began to try communicating with the consciousness of the Divine Tree or the Ten-Tails.

Unsurprisingly, the other party completely ignored him.

With no other option, he had to focus his attention on the three light orbs that were currently the only ones he could interact with.

Having been a seasoned prostitute in his previous life, he was very familiar with these three skills.

Before him stood the Uchiha clan's ancestral fire-breathing ninjutsu, Kakashi's dog-head defense technique, and Asuma the Smoker's smoke-sealing skill.

The three skills have offensive, defensive, and control effects, respectively.

It seems the skills revealed by the Divine Tree are quite comprehensive.

Unfortunately, he could only choose one of the three. Whenever Ning Fan tried to grab one of the orbs of light, the other two would become dim and lose their luster.

"Only one can be taken...that's incredibly stingy..."

After weighing the pros and cons, Ning Fan ultimately chose the Fire Release ability.

After all, he is currently lacking in offensive methods, otherwise he wouldn't have resorted to his weak weapon spirit to fight to the death.

Just as Ning Fan reached his hands into the sphere of light containing the Fireball Technique, a flood of knowledge rushed into his mind, nearly causing him to lose his footing.

Having just absorbed this offensive ninjutsu, before he could even explore this world further, the divine tree in the center of the wasteland trembled violently, and a dazzling light swept over, forcibly expelling the boy's consciousness.

……

As dusk approached, the boy with long, platinum-gold hair lay soundly asleep on his soft bed in his room.

Outside, Ning Yunqing leaned against the wooden railing of the corridor, glancing at Ning Fan inside from time to time, her eyes filled with mixed emotions.

"Sect Leader Ning, I'm sorry, this time it was my fault..."

After the first day of classes ended, Wang Yan rushed over, while Ning Yunqing had already been waiting there all day.

"Teacher Wang, you don't need to blame yourself. This is an internal problem within our sect. I will handle it in the future."

Ning Yunqing spoke gently, but her eyes had turned cold. Over the years, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had split into two factions regarding soul tools.

For the sake of the sect's future, it's time for him, as the sect leader, to make a firm decision, even though this decision will affect the interests of many people.

"This... Sect Master Ning, there's something I must make clear. My nephew Ning Fan's martial soul..." Wang Yan glanced at Ning Fan, who was fast asleep on the bed, before mustering his courage to continue.

"What's wrong? Could it be that Fan'er's martial spirit has been damaged?"

Ning Yunqing's tone became urgent. He had personally treated Ning Fan's injuries, but Wang Yan was the one who observed Ning Fan at the closest distance at the time, so he definitely knew more than him.

This child is using the most prestigious auxiliary weapon spirit as an awl; he's simply insane.

If your martial soul is damaged, it will affect you for a lifetime!

"No, my nephew's martial spirit is undamaged; it's perfectly intact. What I wanted to say was... I wonder if the sect leader noticed that surge in soul power at the last moment?"

Wang Yan hurriedly explained.

If the martial soul of a direct descendant of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is damaged under his supervision, even if Dean Yan Shaozhe of Shrek Academy came in person, he probably couldn't guarantee that the disciple would leave the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School alive.

Upon hearing Wang Yan's explanation, Ning Yunqing remained silent and simply nodded.

This question is completely pointless. Not only him, but almost everyone present noticed the strange fluctuation of soul power and the changes in Ning Fan's eyes.

Faced with those suddenly transformed crimson eyes, Gu Yu, his opponent, was instantly knocked down and didn't wake up until noon. This was something no one could ignore.

Now the entire sect, no, the entire Nine Treasures City, knows about the duel hosted by Shrek Academy this morning; it's all over the streets and alleys.

"Based on my judgment, my dear nephew Ning Fan, this child's martial soul has likely undergone a mutation."

"No, it's less of a mutation and more like... a second awakening of your martial soul!"

"Based on the situation at the time, I deduced that the second martial soul awakened by this child should be the main martial soul in the eye area. After the second awakening, his soul power soared. Now it has broken through level ten and is no different from the innate full soul power."

As he recalled the scene, Wang Yan spoke earnestly.

"What did you say? Fan'er has twin martial souls? Or a single-soul martial soul! As for innate full soul power... this..."

One bombshell after another dropped, and the usually calm Ning Yunqing could no longer control her emotions.

He almost crushed the corridor railing in one go, even affecting the roof beams, causing the entire exquisite little building to tremble and waking the groggy Ning Fan.

"Teacher Wang, please take him to our sect's soul power testing room!"

Ning Yunqing glanced at Ning Fan, who was about to wake up in the room, then waved his hand and strode away, simultaneously using his soul power to issue an order to the entire sect.

"All guardian elders, immediately assemble with me in the soul power testing room! Elder Gulong, bring your beloved grandson Gu Yu along!"

In the morning at the Soul Arena, everyone present witnessed Ning Fan defeating Gu Yu. No one knew how he did it, but after Wang Yan's analysis, the answer seemed to be right in front of them.

The original martial soul awakens, resulting in twin martial souls!

If this is true, then the fate of the entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will be rewritten!
