Chapter 702 The Shock of the Companion Martial Soul
When the teddy bear was removed from her hands, Xiao Mingyue's witch-like side quickly emerged.
That quiet, timid, and cowardly girl immediately transformed into a cunning, sinister, and evil person.
As the darkness and madness in her eyes grew stronger, the curve of Xiao Mingyue's lips rose higher and higher, and the evil aura became more and more intense.
The bear puppet that trotted up to Yu Xiaogang also began to change.
The bear plush's fur is distinct yet soft and smooth, extremely comfortable to touch, and has a very realistic feel, unlike the illusory feeling of something formed from condensed soul power.
It looked extremely ordinary, with a pair of long, drooping ears, eyes no bigger than buttons, and a large, squinting, curved mouth embroidered with needle and thread.
Under Xiao Mingyue's mental control, the forbidden curse power within the bear doll was instantly released, gradually becoming tainted with darkness, evil, and the power of curses.
Its body surface is also undergoing rapid changes.
A pair of button-shaped bear eyes suddenly enlarged, as if they had suddenly awakened, flashing with a light of wisdom, while at the same time radiating a terrifying scarlet light.
The long, drooping ears have become two round ears, and the large, squinting mouth that was originally smiling has slowly opened to reveal serrated teeth.
At the same time, the bear doll, which stood upright like a human, was also growing taller rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it grew to be as tall as Yu Xiaogang.
In the blink of an eye, the ordinary bear plush toy had transformed into an incredibly irritable little bear, and an extremely large one at that.
This is the true form of Xiao Mingyue's second martial soul, a veritable Mad Bear.
"Hehehe, come play!"
The instant Mad Bear revealed its true form, Little Moon let out a joyful yet wicked laugh, and at the same time issued a command to Mad Bear:
"Crazy Bear, scratch him!"
Upon receiving its master's command, the Mad Bear immediately sprang into action, baring its teeth and waving its two sharp claws wildly, scratching at Yu Xiaogang's stiff and somewhat sunken face.
Crazy Scratching: Crazy Bear's exclusive soul skill. When released, Crazy Bear frantically swings its forepaws, using its sharp claws to attack enemies in front of it continuously.
It is one of the offensive soul skills that Xiao Mingyue has mastered, capable of both offense and defense.
Swoosh! Swoosh! ———
For a time, the sounds of flesh being cut were incessant.
Immediately following was Yu Xiaogang's heart-wrenching, agonizing, shrill, heart-wrenching, and utterly agonizing scream, which resounded throughout the entire venue.
"this"
When the audience looked again, almost everyone was stunned, mouths agape, utterly dumbfounded!
In just a moment, Yu Xiaogang collapsed to the ground, clutching his face. He didn't care whether the dust from the ruins was sticking to his body or not. He rolled around wildly, letting out mournful howls.
Through the gaps between Yu Xiaogang's fingers, any viewer with a decent eye could clearly see that Yu Xiaogang's grumpy face was now a bloody mess, covered in gore.
The injury was clearly severe, and there is even a risk of disfigurement.
Such a miserable state was truly tragic, but instead of pity, there were countless people who mocked and sneered at him.
At this moment, everyone's attention shifted back to Xiao Mingyue, and no one paid any attention to Yu Xiaogang, who was rolling on the ground and wailing.
He watched helplessly as the irritable little bear—well, the big bear—scratched wildly, severely injuring Yu Xiaogang before returning to its original size.
Then, step by step, it walked back to Xiao Mingyue, and with a light leap, jumped back into her arms, returning to its original ordinary appearance, motionless.
The more than 80,000 spectators present, including Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, were almost all wide-eyed in shock, and for a moment, they had the illusion that everything that had just happened was an illusion.
If it weren't for Yu Xiaogang rolling on the ground and his constant screams reminding them that this wasn't an illusion, but something that was actually happening, they would have been in a different situation.
They probably really thought that everything that just happened was an illusion.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have twin martial souls, right?"
Finally, it was the well-informed Ning Fengzhi who was the first to come to his senses, but his gaze toward Xiao Mingyue had changed, now filled with a gloomy and cold expression, tinged with surprise and complexity.
With his keen eyesight and wisdom, by this point he had already discerned that Xiao Mingyue possessed two martial souls, making her a genius with the talent of twin martial souls, just like Tang San, and he could be 100% certain of it.
Sword Douluo, who was standing nearby, also noticed it.
His usually calm eyes were suddenly filled with intense emotions, releasing a few sharp glints of sword light. Clearly, his mood was far from peaceful.
"What? Twin... Twin Martial Souls?"
In an instant, everyone was present, from the audience in the stands and the referees to the VIPs on the VIP stage and the students from various colleges in the exclusive viewing area of the participating colleges.
At that moment, everyone's expression changed dramatically, and a clamor suddenly resounded throughout the entire venue.
"That adorable little girl is actually a twin martial soul possessor? Really? Could Sect Master Ning be mistaken?"
"How could it be fake? Who is Sect Master Ning? He's the number one support-type Soul Master on the entire continent. His eyesight is incredibly sharp; how could he not see it? If he says it's true, then it definitely is. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it."
"Uh, that makes sense."
"Oh, so it's a twin martial soul. No wonder it's so strong. With such talent, it's understandable that it could reach the Soul King realm at such a young age."
"."
Such comments were heard constantly and spread throughout the entire Heavenly Battle Arena.
Some people believed Ning Fengzhi's words wholeheartedly, while others had reservations. However, influenced by the enthusiastic atmosphere at the scene, they gradually chose to believe him.
They were all stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.
Even Yu Xiaogang, who had been ignored, forgot the excruciating pain on his face, stopped rolling around and wailing, stubbornly raised his head, stared intently at Xiao Mingyue, his eyes filled with disbelief.
I don't know if he lost his mind after being beaten by the crazy bear.
Even now, Yu Xiaogang still insists on his point of view, firmly believing that Xiao Mingyue's bear doll is a soul tool and that Xiao Mingyue violated the rules of the Elite Soul Master Competition and must accept the punishment she deserves.
The same applies to the Spirit Hall's second team.
He is absolutely right.
However, what he saw next shattered Yu Xiaogang's unrealistic fantasies.
It turns out the Joker was actually himself.
That bear plush toy is indeed a martial spirit, not some kind of soul tool.
He's wrong, terribly wrong.
"Sect Leader Ning has a good eye; Little Mingyue is indeed a twin martial soul."
Faced with Ning Fengzhi's question, Xiao Mingyue did not speak. It was the team captain, the eldest sister Ruiwen, who spoke.
After the crazy bear returned to her hands, Xiao Mingyue reverted from that cunning and crazy little witch back to her timid and cowardly self.
So Raven thoughtfully stepped in to handle the uncomfortable situation for her.
With Raven by her side to help, Xiao Mingyue's courage gradually increased, and she was no longer so timid. Then, following her elder sister's instructions, she demonstrated her two martial souls.
As her soul power surged, a black vine shaped like a rose condensed from Xiao Mingyue's right palm; it was her first martial soul—the Black Rose.
At the same time, the second martial soul with droopy ears, Mad Bear, which was in Xiao Mingyue's arms, also floated up and hovered above her right palm.
The two martial souls floated in the air, slowly rotating around each other. They seemed unrelated, yet they were in perfect harmony, without any sense of conflict.
"As expected, it's a twin martial soul, but this form..."
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately became certain that his guess was correct, but he couldn't help but show a hint of confusion, feeling that the other party's two martial souls seemed a bit strange in form.
Ning Fengzhi was naturally aware of the knowledge about twin martial souls.
As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, he is also the number one support-type Soul Master renowned throughout the continent, and an outstanding master of martial soul theory.
He also has his own research and unique explanations in this area.
The so-called twin martial souls, as the name suggests, mean that a person is born with two martial souls.
Ordinary people only know that everyone on the Douluo Continent is born with one and only one unique Martial Soul.
But in fact, this is not absolute.
In this world, there are some special people who can awaken two martial souls at the same time when they awaken their martial souls, which is called twin martial souls.
As is well known, there is a certain probability of innate mutations occurring when a martial soul awakens.
Some martial souls become more powerful after mutation; this type of mutation is called positive mutation.
However, many more martial soul mutations result in the weakening of the spirit; such mutations are called reverse mutations.
Twin Martial Souls are one type of mutated Martial Soul, and they are a positive mutation.
In other words, having twin martial souls is generally beneficial to the soul master.
Of course, after a martial soul mutates, it usually comes with some obvious drawbacks, and some may even cause certain harm to the user.
Twin martial souls are no exception.
The most obvious thing is that the two martial souls are incompatible and may even cause violent conflicts. If you are not careful, you will explode and die.
Looking back over the past few hundred years, there are only three recorded instances of twin martial soul masters in the Douluo Continent.
The first one died from a conflict with his martial soul, so let's not talk about him.
Two of them are still alive today: Tang San, the son of Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, and Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo.
However, as far as Ning Fengzhi knew, these three owners of twin martial souls had obvious conflicts with each other, and their martial souls were awakened separately, with only one martial soul in each hand.
Furthermore, the two martial souls cannot coexist at the same time; they can only be switched when in use, one on and one off.
In contrast, the little girl in front of him had both martial spirits in her right palm, while her left hand was empty.
It is obvious that her two martial souls were indeed awakened from the same hand.
Most importantly, her two martial souls are completely different, with entirely different forms, and even belong to different series.
One is a plant-type martial soul, and the other is a weapon-type martial soul. The two are completely incompatible, yet they can coexist perfectly in harmony, without any trace of conflict between their soul powers.
Ning Fengzhi said he didn't understand.
This is quite different from his understanding of the theory of twin martial souls, if not completely contradictory.
Even Ning Fengzhi couldn't understand it, so the others were even less likely to understand it.
For example, the referee in charge of the competition, Yu Xiaogang whose face was covered in blood from being scratched by the Mad Bear, and even Tang San who was still unconscious lying in the ruins, all looked completely bewildered.
"Because Xiao Mingyue's martial soul is not an ordinary twin martial soul, but a companion martial soul."
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's puzzled look, Raven smiled faintly and gave a simple explanation.
"Companion Martial Soul? What does that mean?"
Upon hearing Raven's words, Ning Fengzhi's expression froze, and he subconsciously asked a question.
"A companion martial soul? What the hell is that? I've never heard of it before. Does such a form of martial soul even exist in this world? Heh, it must be fake."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang, who had already forgotten the pain, was immediately filled with a series of question marks.
He was both curious and extremely resentful, thinking sourly, "Even I, the number one master of martial spirit theory, don't know this, and you, a little girl, know it? Are you kidding me?"
Tang San, lying on the ground, widened his eyes slightly, looking confused. Could there be other forms of twin martial souls? Grandmaster hadn't taught him that.
The audience tilted their heads, indicating that they didn't understand at all and had no idea what it meant.
"The so-called companion martial soul is two or more martial souls that are born together. To put it simply, it is another form of twin martial souls. If you really don't understand, just think of it as twin martial souls."
Seeing the heavy responsibility that left her with a lot of questions, Raven smiled slightly and tried to explain again, but not in much detail.
After a simple explanation, some people understood, some didn't, and some pretended to understand.
For example, Ning Fengzhi, Tang San, and a certain useless master.
Most people, on the other hand, are like, "Oh—, I don't understand, but it sounds impressive."
"Xiao Feng, could you tell me more about Xiao Mingyue's innate martial soul? I want to know more about it."
"Okay, sure."
While the audience was shocked and puzzled by Xiao Mingyue's companion martial soul, Qian Renxue and Ye Qifeng on the VIP stage were having a lively private conversation.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, those two annoying guys, had already left the VIP platform and gone down to the collapsed arena, so no one could detect their private telepathic communication anymore.
The two became even more unrestrained in their conversation.
Qian Renxue's desire wasn't simply to understand Xiao Mingyue's innate martial soul; she just wanted to understand the man she loved, everything about him, including the people around him.
In fact, Qian Renxue knew about the knowledge of companion martial souls.
Back when Ye Qifeng handed over this knowledge to the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong ordered it to be compiled into a book and included in the Spirit Hall's archives.
Although Qian Renxue was thousands of miles away in Tiandou City, she still had a level 99 Limit Douluo grandfather who was the sixth in command in the base camp.
Bibi Dong had only just finished recording the information when it was already delivered to Qian Renxue.
