Chapter 7: Second Martial Soul: Dunjia Heavenly Book

"Yes, Father, look, this is my second martial soul." Nan Feihuang spread out his left hand, and a thick book appeared in his palm.

The pale gold cover looked extremely luxurious, and as the first page was turned, Nan Tianchen felt a very ancient aura.

A book-type martial soul is indeed the inherited martial soul of their Gu Lei Kingdom royal family.

It is just that this one of Nan Feihuang's, like his Halberd, must have undergone a positive mutation.

Nan Feihuang looked at his book; in fact, the true name of this book should be the Dunjia Heavenly Book.

When he created the general based on himself, he naturally gave himself the best equipment.

The weapon is the Fangtian Halberd, the book is the Dunjia Heavenly Book, and the horse is the Red Hare.

Now that the Fangtian Halberd and the Dunjia Heavenly Book have both appeared, he does not know if the Red Hare has also come along.

Nan Tianchen only assumed that this book of Nan Feihuang's was also a type of Gu Lei Book, so he said, "Feihuang, your talent truly exceeds Father's imagination by too much. Now, you have an extra choice. Of your two martial souls, Father only permits you to choose one to cultivate first. The second martial soul must be hidden with all your might. Your three confidants behind you are fine, but from this day forward, apart from Father and Mother, you must not reveal even half a word to anyone, not even your sister or the Crown Prince's Tutor, do you understand?"

Nan Feihuang nodded, "Yes, Father, I understand. Then I choose to cultivate the Fangtian Halberd first. Although this book of mine also has attack soul skills, it seems to lean more towards support overall. If we are talking about cultivation speed, cultivating a pure Qiangong Xi martial soul is faster, and it can also allow me to have the power to protect myself in the early stages."

Nan Tianchen patted his son's head, "Good, Father thinks the same. Go back and rest for now; starting tomorrow, your mother will guide your cultivation."

"Understood, I take my leave." Nan Feihuang bowed and left with Dian Wei and the others.

At this moment, Nan Tianchen still seemed unable to calm his excited mood. His decision to marry Lan Xue back then was indeed correct; combining his own peerless talent with hers had actually produced a genius with twin martial souls of peerless aptitude.

"Tianchen, don't be happy too early. Don't forget, twin martial souls have drawbacks in cultivation," Lan Xue said. Unlike Nan Tianchen, who was only focused on being happy, she considered more when it concerned her precious child.

According to historical records, that first possessor of twin martial souls, when adding spirit rings to their second martial soul, had only added a few before their body swelled and exploded to death.

And she did not know how Bibi Dong had succeeded.

Unless it was confirmed to be one hundred percent safe, Lan Xue would rather pretend her son's second martial soul did not exist and have him focus solely on cultivating his first martial soul.

Upon hearing this, Nan Tianchen stroked his chin and considered it; he had forgotten about this point.

But the Gu Lei Kingdom had never had a genius with twin martial souls, and he was completely unclear on how to cultivate twin martial souls.

This feeling was like being doused with a basin of cold water at the moment of greatest excitement, or like having a treasure mountain in front of one but being unable to climb it, making one feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Xue'er, don't worry, I will definitely find a way. If it really comes to it, I will have the Gu Lei Kingdom lean towards the Spirit Hall, and use this as a request to let Feihuang go and take Bibi Dong as his master to learn the method of cultivating twin martial souls from her," Nan Tianchen said resolutely.

Of course, this was the final resort in a desperate situation.

Currently, among the four vassal kingdoms of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Gu Lei Kingdom was the only one that leaned completely towards the Heaven Dou Empire; the other three kingdoms all had some ambiguous relations with the Spirit Hall to varying degrees.

As a major agricultural nation, the Spirit Hall had long coveted the Gu Lei Kingdom.

After all, before the three armies move, provisions and fodder come first; the help a major grain-producing nation provides to an army is immeasurably huge.

In fact, if not for the limited military power of the Gu Lei Kingdom, Nan Tianchen would not have acted so obediently, always appearing respectful towards the Heaven Dou Empire.

In reality, the worries of Lan Xue and Nan Tianchen were superfluous; Nan Feihuang did not care about the drawbacks of twin martial souls at all.

After all, he was a transmigrator; how could he not know how Bibi Dong and Tang San overcame the difficulties of twin martial souls?

Soul bones and God Trials.

Both of them had full spirit bones later on, and their bodies' endurance was many times stronger than that of ordinary Spirit Masters, which laid the foundation for the cultivation of twin martial souls.

Then there were the God Trials. When the power of the spirit rings Tang San absorbed in the later stages became too immense for his physical attributes, he transferred those attributes to the Sea God Trident to reduce the burden on his body.

Nan Feihuang could completely follow the same pattern; with his aptitude, it should not be difficult to gain the recognition of a god.

But like Nan Tianchen, this was only a last resort; if possible, he still hoped to walk his own path.

Becoming a god through God Trials is indeed simple, convenient, and crude, but just like the difference between a God-Bestowed Spirit and an Innate God-Level Spirit, the compatibility with a God Position would inevitably be inferior to a self-created God Position.

This Dunjia Heavenly Book is so thick, who knows, it might contain a method.

After leaving the palace, Nan Feihuang returned to the Eastern Palace and told Dian Wei and the others to go and rest.

He himself dove into his room to study the Dunjia Heavenly Book martial soul.

This Dunjia Heavenly Book had already completely adapted to the laws of the Douluo Continent; the first few pages recorded the soul skills contained within the book and the activation methods.

This is also a characteristic of the Nan Family's Gu Lei Book martial soul; it seems that the close connection between martial soul and bloodline is indeed the key to martial soul inheritance.

Nan Feihuang quickly found the soul skill he hoped to see.

Soul skill, Increase Skill Power, requires a high-cultivation Spirit Beast spirit ring to activate. The higher the spirit ring cultivation, the less soul power consumed. A ten-thousand-year to thirty-thousand-year spirit ring: Increase Skill Power (Primary), increases the soul power of nearby teammates by thirty percent.

Thirty-thousand-year to sixty-thousand-year spirit ring: Increase Skill Power (Intermediate), increases the soul power of nearby teammates by fifty percent.

Sixty-thousand-year to ninety-thousand-year spirit ring: Increase Skill Power (Advanced), increases the soul power of nearby teammates by one hundred percent.

The support effect of this move is comparable to a Nine-Ring Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and it consumes much less soul power; it does not require any Distraction Control and can also support the entire field.

There are also classic military advisor tactics from the game Legend of the Three Kingdoms 2, such as Strengthen General which increases defense, Enhance Attack which boosts attack power, and Rapid Qi Gathering which increases attack speed. The requirements and age limits for activation are the same as for Increase Skill Power, only with one additional requirement; for example, Enhance Attack not only requires high cultivation but also must be from a Spirit Beast with high attack power.

These are all classic military advisor tactics from the game Legend of the Three Kingdoms 2.

It is just that for the soul skills in the Dunjia Heavenly Book to exert their maximum power, the requirements for the Spirit Beast's age are too high. Moreover, with Nan Feihuang's personality, he has no interest in something like Increase Skill Power (Primary); if he is going to activate it, he will definitely activate the high-tier one from the start to avoid wasting a soul skill slot.

After all, the number of spirit rings a martial soul can accommodate is very limited.
