Chapter 158: The Second Martial Soul
Chapter 158: The Second Martial Soul
Consciousness stirred in the endless darkness, and Wang Si slowly moved his fingers.
Lifting his eyelids, Wang Si spotted a man in black standing at a distance.
"Awake? How do you feel?"
The man in black spoke indifferently; it was Di Tian, the same Di Tian who had accompanied Wang Si to this world.
Feeling the tearing pain throughout his body, Wang Si grinned, baring his teeth.
"I feel pretty good."
As his body continued to heal, Wang Si also noticed two purple figures and a green figure standing behind Di Tian.
The purple and green figures exchanged complicated glances, their expressions filled with complexity as they regarded Wang Si.
"In that case, I shall send you back," Di Tian said, raising his hand to grab at Wang Si.
Wang Si quickly waved his hands in refusal.
"No need, no need. I can go back on my own. Let me rest a bit first."
Wang Si hastily gestured, forcing himself to sit up. After getting up, he tentatively raised his hand.
A surge of black mist emerged, and a black dragon scale, identical to Di Tian's true form, appeared on the surface of his body.
Sensing this power, the same as his own, Di Tian frowned imperceptibly, then turned and left with his followers.
After all, Wang Si had said he could go back on his own, and if that was the case, he should let him do so.
Although the two Di Tians had a bitter rivalry, they were surprisingly in agreement on one thing: their disdain for Wang Si.
However, some things couldn't be helped, like ensuring that Wang Si could perfectly inherit the power of the Gold Dragon King and bring the Soul Beast clan back to 20,000 years ago.
To prevent Wang Si from being overwhelmed by the Gold Dragon King's power, they needed someone to stabilize the eighteen seals within him.
And that person was none other than Di Tian.
To avoid Wang Si exploding from the strain of the Gold Dragon King's power, disrupting the Soul Beast clan's original plan, Di Tian "voluntarily" sacrificed himself to become Wang Si's second martial soul.
While the Silver Dragon King was willing to lead most of the soul beasts from this world alongside Wang Si, she still needed to resolve the relationship between humans and soul beasts in this world before their departure.
Wang Si couldn't die until her plans were complete.
Thus, Di Tian divided his power into nine seals and embedded them in Wang Si's body. In the event that Wang Si couldn't withstand the power of the Gold Dragon King, Di Tian's nine powers would be the last line of defense!
Obtaining a second martial soul, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon, in addition to his original martial soul was a pleasant surprise for Wang Si. But it would have been nice if these guys had discussed it with him first!
Along with the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon martial soul came a sense of fullness like never before.
His original martial soul focused on physical strength and defense.
The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon, as a beast martial soul, emphasized physical prowess, and in a sense, complemented his original soul.
Of course, that wasn't the most important thing. The crucial point was that obtaining a second martial soul through the sacrifice of a soul beast wouldn't conflict with the first soul.
Now, one of the problems Bi Bidong faced was how to resolve the conflict between her two martial souls: the Soft-boned Rabbit and the Human-faced Demon Spider, neither of which were her original souls, but rather the powers of the two soul bones that her body possessed.
Wang Si casually walked through a door and returned home.
When he had entered this home, he had brought nothing with him, so now it was empty, with only a few lonely doors.
These doors led to different places, but his priority wasn't to rush back immediately.
"So, what do you want from me now? Surely you don't intend to absorb my power."
Facing the powerful soul residing within his body, Wang Si smiled.
"I understand the sacrifices you made for the future of the Soul Beasts, and I know that you don't really want to stay inside me."
Wang Si sat casually on the ground, his fingers tapping rhythmically as he spoke with a helpless expression.
Di Tian remained silent, offering no response to Wang Si's words.
"I can understand your dilemma, but that doesn't mean I agree to have you living inside me!"
As Wang Si slowly raised his hand, the soul of Di Tian residing within him let out an involuntary cry.
"I detest having my life in someone else's hands, even if I know you mean me no harm. I don't want you living inside me."
Wang Si reached out and, with a pulling motion, extracted a black soul from within himself.
Di Tian's soul appeared before him.
"You may not know this, but I value my life more than you think. Even here, I won't die easily.
Rest assured, I will handle the seals of the Gold Dragon King within me, so you don't have to worry.
Also... thank you for providing me with a second martial soul."
With a forceful exertion, Wang Si caused Di Tian's soul to shatter, turning it into pure soul energy that dispersed within his home.
Wang Si was the master of this home, and the life and death of anyone who entered were at his mercy.
With the disappearance of this Di Tian's soul, in a villa in the East Sea, a "amnesiac" Nael's eyes suddenly deepened.
The restriction she had left in Di Tian's soul was gone, signifying his death.
It had vanished without a trace, not even giving her the chance to be informed.
Apparently, I didn't know this guy at all 20,000 years ago.
But that's actually a good thing. If I had seen through him back then, there would have been no need for cooperation.
...............
At the East Sea Forging Association, a prominent figure arrived, and even the president of the association, Mu Chen, came out to greet him personally.
"Senior, what brings you here? And who is this gentleman with you?"
While Mu Chen was hospitable, he was also a bit nervous.
There weren't many people who could accompany his senior brother on his travels, and one of them was definitely the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Mu Ye.
"We're all familiar here, so let's not stand on ceremony. I came because I received some reliable information.
I heard that there's a forging genius in your Donghai City who has a body martial soul and successfully achieved a hundred refines on his first try!
You're useless as the president of this Forging Association!"
Liu Yue had only contacted an eight-star forger whom she had met once and told him about Wang Si's situation.
What she didn't know was that when this eight-star forger heard that the forging genius had a body martial soul, he immediately thought of the divine blacksmith, Zhen Hua.
Having occasional dealings with Zhen Hua, he was aware that the Sect Master of the Body Sect was by his side!
A genius who could achieve a hundred refines at the age of six was obviously not someone he could handle, so he immediately informed Zhen Hua without hesitation.
Although Zhen Hua was skeptical, when he heard that the information came from a student of Shrek Academy, he decided to come and take a look...
