Chapter 5: Xun Yu's Military Talisman Martial Soul, Nan Tianchen's Excitement

"Feilian Twin-Wing Halberd!" Nan Feihuang thought to himself as he looked at the Cross Halberd in Lv Lingqi's hand.

This was the name of Lv Lingqi's weapon; before he transmigrated, the equipment Nan Feihuang gave her was this very halberd.

The Cross Halberd is actually composed of two small halberds that can be separated, each one zhang and two chi long; it can hook, block, thrust, and hack, but it is quite difficult to use and is a special weapon that requires extremely refined force application to be wielded with ease.

Lv Lingqi's Feilian Halberd has four blades, each possessing the attributes of water, fire, wind, and thunder, integrating offense and defense; when combined and rotated, it can push her speed to its absolute limit, making it a top-tier agility-attack Tool Spirit.

"Another extraordinary martial soul. Once might be luck, but twice surely cannot be a coincidence," Nan Tianchen thought secretly; he realized he might have underestimated his precious son, whose eye for talent was far superior to his own as a father.

Following this, he also tested Lv Lingqi's soul power, which was slightly inferior to Dian Wei's, at approximately Innate Level Nine.

This was normal; after all, Dian Wei was one of the strongest warriors capable of dueling her father, Lv Bu, so she was bound to be a step behind.

However, an innate soul power of level nine was enough to be pleasantly surprised by; as long as she was nurtured well, she would definitely have a chance to reach Title Douluo.

At this moment, the gaze Lan Xue cast upon Lv Lingqi also became appreciative; she was so beautiful and her talent was so outstanding—so what if she was mute? Compared to such potential, it was not a problem at all.

"Not bad. Gou Huo, it's your turn." Nan Tianchen finally looked at Xun Yu and said.

"Your Majesty, my name is Xun Yu."

"I know, Gou Huo, come over here quickly." Nan Tianchen was already unfazed; in any case, even he could not defy this cursed name.

Xun Yu sighed helplessly and walked to the center of the formation.

His martial soul was finally not as imposing as the previous two; it was just a token that looked very ordinary.

"This is... a Military Talisman?" As the ruler of a nation, how could he not recognize a Military Talisman? Nan Tianchen saw the truth of this Tool Spirit at a glance.

He would not underestimate this kind of martial soul; with a Military Talisman as a martial soul, the power gained might very well be a formidable soul skill for summoning an army.

"Gou Huo, I ask you, answer me honestly: is your martial soul a summoning-type martial soul?" Nan Tianchen said.

Generally, after Spirit Masters awaken their martial souls, they can have a rough understanding of their own martial soul.

It might not be very comprehensive, but the general type is usually reflected in their mind.

Xun Yu nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty. No matter how many Spirit Rings I absorb, my Military Talisman only has one soul skill, which is to summon soldiers. It comes with two, and with every increase in level, I get two more; that is to say, when I reach level ninety-nine, it will be two hundred soldiers."

The number of troops Xun Yu could control was exactly the same as the troop limit in the game Legend of the Three Kingdoms 2.

"Only two hundred?" Nan Tianchen frowned; it seemed he had overestimated this martial soul. Two hundred soldiers—what use were they?

"Father, don't be hasty. I don't think Gou Huo's martial soul is that simple, right?" Nan Feihuang asked with a smile.

When he was DIY-ing it back then, he had also made changes to the troop types; it shouldn't be as simple as ordinary soldiers.

"Yes, my Lord. The soldiers my martial soul can summon are actually Spirit Masters themselves, divided into four grades. Before obtaining the Spirit Avatar at level seventy, the summoned soldiers are Primary Soldiers, each with strength about thirty levels lower than me. Between level seventy and ninety, the additional summoned soldiers are Intermediate Soldiers, with levels twenty lower than my own. From level ninety to ninety-five, I can summon a small number of Advanced Soldiers, with levels ten lower than me. After level ninety-five, I can summon Ultimate Soldiers, with levels five lower than me," Xun Yu explained.

"Moreover, as my martial soul grows and I gain more Spirit Rings of higher age, the soul power consumed to summon soldiers decreases. In battle, even if soldiers are killed, I can immediately summon them again."

Hearing this, Nan Tianchen and Lan Xue's eyes lit up. This was not so simple anymore; it could even be called terrifying. It meant that while Xun Yu's summoning limit at one time was only two hundred, in reality, as long as he had enough soul power, these two hundred soldiers were immortal and indestructible, and their actual combat power far exceeded two hundred.

More importantly, those soldiers were actually all Spirit Masters, especially the final Ultimate Soldiers, who were only five levels lower than Xun Yu.

What did this mean?

As long as Xun Yu reached the level ninety-five Super Douluo realm.

The soldiers he summoned would be one hundred and forty Spirit Emperors, forty Spirit Saints, ten Spirit Douluos, and two level ninety Title Douluos.

Furthermore, the number and strength of the Title Douluos would continue to increase as his level rose, and coupled with the immortal and indestructible trait, wasn't this stronger than an army of hundreds of thousands?

In fact, Nan Feihuang guessed that above the Ultimate Soldiers, there should be an even stronger grade, but that would require Xun Yu to break through level one hundred to summon.

However, just for the Douluo Continent, this martial soul of his could be considered quite formidable.

"By the way, my Military Talisman can also transform based on the different Spirit Rings obtained. I can currently only summon Servant Blade Soldiers, but there are over a dozen other types of Military Talismans I can transform into, such as Long Spear Soldiers, Great Blade Soldiers, Martial Combat Soldiers, Heavy Cavalry Soldiers, Flying Blade Soldiers, Archer Soldiers, and so on." Xun Yu spoke with shocking effect.

Nan Tianchen gasped; the significance of this guy's martial soul was too great, especially for a nation.

Different troop types could produce completely different effects; Xun Yu had the immense potential to support the destiny of a nation all by himself.

Xun Yu's value was even above that of Dian Wei, who had just shown innate full soul power.

Of course, this martial soul also had its drawbacks: every time a Spirit Ring is added, the increased physical attributes are mostly applied to the soldiers, and Xun Yu's own strength is likely much weaker than even a support-type Spirit Master; once he is engaged in close quarters, he is dead for sure.

A perfect martial soul is not so easy to come by.

The key now was testing his soul power; as long as his innate soul power was not low, Nan Tianchen was determined that even if it required crazily pouring in resources, he must nurture Xun Yu to the Title Douluo realm.

The final result did not disappoint him; although it did not reach the level of full soul power, it was Innate Level Nine, the same as Lv Lingqi.

That was quite good; Nan Tianchen was very satisfied.

"Father, it's finally my turn!" Nan Feihuang stepped forward and said.

Nan Tianchen smiled, "Come on, my son!"

Although he cared a lot about the previous three, they were outsiders after all; the one he cared about most was, of course, his precious son, so how could he have forgotten him?

Nan Feihuang walked into the formation. At this moment, with his eyes closed, he only felt himself immersed in a warm world, just like being in his mother and father's arms when he was a child; the energy flowed through his internal organs and his entire body, feeling indescribably comfortable.

At the same time, in both his left and right hands, there was a surge of intense power, as if it were about to break through the shackles of his body.

Unlike Dian Wei, these two forces were of completely different natures, which meant this was a sign of the appearance of Twin Spirits.

The right-hand martial soul appeared first; it was a long halberd, very similar to Queen Lan Xue's Mysterious Ice Halberd, and one could tell at a glance that it was inherited from her.

It just lacked the ice attribute as strong as hers, and instead possessed an incomparably tyrannical aura; it was estimated that a certain mutation had occurred.

Judging from the intensity of the aura it emitted, it was at least not a negative mutation.
