"Since you've acknowledged me as your teacher, you must abide by my rules," Leng Yaozhu said sternly, "First, you must never kill the innocent indiscriminately or fall into evil ways!"
"Yes!" Jing Shaoyu responded respectfully.
"Second, you must never deceive or betray your teacher, or commit insubordination!"
"Yes!"
"Third... I haven't thought of it yet, let's leave it at that for now!" The originally serious atmosphere was ruined by Leng Yaozhu herself, and she chuckled, "Alright, since there are rules, there must be an apprenticeship gift!"
Leng Yaozhu flipped her jade-like hand, and a ring inlaid with a vermilion gemstone appeared in her palm. A faint scorching sensation emanated from the ring, along with slight Soul Power fluctuations.
"Look, this Yang Flame Jade Ring is called the Heaven Phoenix Ring, and it's my teacher's token," Leng Yaozhu said, "Besides serving as a storage Soul Guidance Device, it also possesses certain offensive capabilities. Look, the golden phoenix on this Yang Flame Jade Stone is a wisp of Heaven Phoenix True Fire that I left behind. It can be activated with just a wisp of Soul Power, and it should be enough to deal with ordinary Titled Douluo."
"Thank you, teacher!" Jing Shaoyu was pleasantly surprised to receive the ring and immediately put it on the finger of his right hand.
After exploring the space within the Heaven Phoenix Ring, he was once again shocked. The space inside the Heaven Phoenix Ring was almost as large as the Intermediate Department's playground at East Sea Academy.
"You and I are master and disciple, no need to be so formal." Leng Yaozhu smiled, moved to the sofa on the side, and sat down lazily, crossing her jade-like legs as she looked at Jing Shaoyu, and said, "Let me think, what should I call you? Shaoyu? No, it's a bit distant. A Yu? No, it's a bit ordinary."
Listening to Leng Yaozhu's mutterings, Jing Shaoyu suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Got it!" Sure enough, Leng Yaozhu let out a cry of surprise, and she said, "I'll call you A Yuan, it's not only intimate, but also special! Yes, that's it!"
Jing Shaoyu was slightly stunned and asked in confusion, "Teacher, why this name?"
"Ancient sayings claim that the Yuan-chu is a young phoenix. I am a phoenix, and you are my disciple, so calling you A Yuan isn't fitting?" Leng Yaozhu said rather proudly, "How is it? Isn't the nickname your teacher gave you quite sophisticated!"
"Ah? Teacher, isn't this nickname a bit too uncommon..." Jing Shaoyu asked weakly.
"What? You're not willing?" Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of danger, causing Jing Shaoyu's back to chill, and he immediately admitted defeat.
"Of course not!" Jing Shaoyu said, "Whatever makes you happy, teacher!"
"Hmph! That's more like it!" Leng Yaozhu snorted triumphantly, then asked, "A Yuan, do you have Twin Martial Souls?"
Jing Shaoyu's heart trembled, and his mind raced, thinking about how to answer. Since Leng Yaozhu would ask this question, it meant that she had at least noticed something. In other words, Jing Shaoyu's next answer would be related to the degree of trust between the newly minted master and disciple.
After a brief moment of thought, Jing Shaoyu decided to tell the truth.
"Yes, teacher," he replied.
"Your second Martial Soul is a spear?" A hint of satisfaction appeared in Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes, and she smiled, "Release it and let me see."
Jing Shaoyu released the Endless Godslaying Spear.
The moment the Endless Godslaying Spear appeared, the room was filled with a tyrannical, destructive, and murderous aura. This aura made Leng Yaozhu sit up straight immediately, and a solemn and shocked expression appeared on her pretty face.
"This Martial Soul... what an overbearing aura!" she murmured, her eyes flashing with golden-red light. In an instant, the aura emanating from the Endless Godslaying Spear was replaced by another, even more overbearing, fiery, and sacred aura. The source of this aura was clearly Leng Yaozhu.
"A Yuan, what's the name of your Martial Soul?" Leng Yaozhu asked.
"Teacher, I call it Endless Godslaying Spear," Jing Shaoyu replied.
"Endless Godslaying Spear?!" Leng Yaozhu was taken aback, then chuckled, "You're quite ambitious, but I like it. Alright, put away your Endless Godslaying Spear."
"Yes." Jing Shaoyu retracted the Endless Godslaying Spear Martial Soul.
"Release your Origin Spirit Martial Soul and let me take a look," Leng Yaozhu continued.
"Yes." Jing Shaoyu immediately released his Origin Spirit Martial Soul.
Watching Jing Shaoyu's appearance undergo a huge change, Leng Yaozhu's eyes flickered, her mind quickly pondering.
Her gaze first fell on the Crown of Nature suspended behind Jing Shaoyu's head. With her strength at the peak of humanity, she could clearly sense the extraordinary nature of this halo, but she couldn't see through it! She stretched out her jade hand, wanting to touch the Crown of Nature, but her hand passed directly through the halo.
An illusion?! Leng Yaozhu narrowed her eyes slightly, becoming even more curious. She asked, "A Yuan, does the ring behind your head have a name? Are your abilities to control plants, as well as the Fire Burst and Water Shriek Art, all related to it?"
"That's right." Jing Shaoyu replied, "It's called the Crown of Nature, and it's the core of the Origin Spirit Martial Soul. The gems inlaid on it are called Great Dao Source Stones. The Fire Burst and Water Shriek Art are the skills they provide."
"Great Dao Source Stones?" A glint flashed in Leng Yaozhu's eyes, as if she had realized something. "No wonder I can sense a strong fire element aura from these stones. So that's it, so that's it! A Yuan, will the number of these Great Dao Source Stones increase as your cultivation level increases? Will the newly added Great Dao Source Stones provide you with new skills? Are the new skills new elemental attributes, or old elemental attributes?"
"Yes. The Origin Spirit Martial Soul has a total of ten Great Dao Source Stones, and each Great Dao Source Stone can provide resistance and skills for one element," Jing Shaoyu replied.
Leng Yaozhu looked surprised. She was just guessing, but she didn't expect it to be true. She exclaimed, "Heavens, A Yuan, isn't your Martial Soul a bit too heaven-defying!"
"Hehe, it's alright," Jing Shaoyu said with a smile upon hearing this.
"What do you mean it's alright? You're acting coy after getting a good deal, that's too much!" Leng Yaozhu rolled her eyes at Jing Shaoyu, then looked at the wings on Jing Shaoyu's back.
Looking at the flawless white wings, a trace of displeasure flashed in Leng Yaozhu's eyes, as if she had thought of something. She said somewhat angrily, "Why does your Martial Soul have a pair of white wings? They don't match your Martial Soul's style at all!"
"Is, is that so? I think they're alright!" Jing Shaoyu said, feeling a little baffled. Why did she suddenly get angry? "A Yuan, I'll give you a goal," Leng Yaozhu said, still fuming. After all, she was a beauty, and even her angry appearance was so charming. "Become the number one healing-type Soul Master on the continent, and surpass that woman Ya Li!"
Jing Shaoyu resisted the urge to retort, and asked with confusion and curiosity, "Teacher, who is Ya Li? Do you have a grudge against her?"
"A saint who only knows how to empathize and heal!" Leng Yaozhu immediately replied through gritted teeth upon hearing Jing Shaoyu's question. "Her Martial Soul is very similar to yours, called Prayer Angel. It's also a top-level healing-type Martial Soul, but compared to your Origin Spirit, the Prayer Angel Martial Soul only has a single healing ability, without any combat methods."
Hearing Leng Yaozhu's evaluation of Ya Li, Jing Shaoyu smiled wryly in his heart. It had to be said that Leng Yaozhu's summary of Ya Li was still very accurate. After all, they were rivals in love.
"That woman snatched the man your teacher had her eyes on. As my disciple, you must avenge me and snatch her title of the number one healing-type Soul Master in the world!" Leng Yaozhu said resentfully.
"Teacher, if this Ya Li you're talking about is really a saint, then perhaps she doesn't care about this title?" Jing Shaoyu said helplessly. "So, even if I really surpass her, with her saintly personality, she might just be happy, right!"
"Uh—" Leng Yaozhu immediately reacted upon hearing this. Her originally delighted pretty face suddenly collapsed, and a sense of frustration arose in her heart. She said angrily, "Then what do you say we should do? I don't care, you're my disciple, you must find a way to vent my anger!"
"Hehe~" Jing Shaoyu rolled his eyes upon hearing this and said, "Teacher, you really think highly of me. I'm just a Great Soul Master. That Ya Li can be called the number one healing-type Soul Master on the continent by you, so she must be a Titled Douluo. How can you let me vent your anger? Go and become her disciple, and then betray my master and destroy my ancestors?"
Jing Shaoyu's retort made Leng Yaozhu feel embarrassed. She said with an awkward smile, "Hehe, your teacher is just full of confidence in you! With your talent, Shaoyu, not to mention Ya Li in the future, even he will probably be surpassed by you!
After all, you are a Twin Martial Souls, and you also have the advantages of their respective Martial Souls..."
As Leng Yaozhu spoke, her voice suddenly became smaller, smaller, and smaller, until it finally disappeared.
However, her beautiful eyes were shining with incomparable excitement.
Jing Shaoyu looked at her with a puzzled expression.
She laughed triumphantly, "A Yuan, I just realized that from your Martial Soul, Ya Li and he seem more suitable to be your teachers.
However, who told me to discover you first? Even if they want to accept you as a disciple in the future, they must be below me, hahaha! Although the compatibility between my Martial Soul and A Yuan's Martial Soul is low, for a teacher who has already reached the Limit Douluo level, Martial Soul compatibility is not important, so you can rest assured about this, A Yuan! Wait, I suddenly thought of an interesting idea!
I'm already looking forward to it! Hahaha!"
Jing Shaoyu looked at Leng Yaozhu, who was laughing so hard that she was trembling, and an inexplicable sense of unease arose in his heart.
It should be an illusion, right.
