"Having two opposing attributes in your martial soul... I really need to think carefully about how to get you soul rings in the future."
Xu Xiang sighed, a slightly troubled expression on his face.
When it comes to the research of soul tools, no force on the entire Douluo Continent can compare with the Sun Moon Empire.
However, when it comes to the research on martial souls, the Sun Moon Empire is far inferior to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, not to mention Shrek Academy.
Moreover, Xu Tianming awakened a Body Martial Soul, which is extremely rare to begin with.
As a member of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family, Xu Xiang was by no means an ignorant person, but the original martial soul was indeed something he had never seen before.
Moreover, the person who possesses the original martial soul is his son!
"Father, let's not talk about this now. Didn't you prepare a gift for me?"
Xu Tianming withdrew his hand from the testing crystal and blinked as he looked at Xu Xiang.
He wasn't worried about the martial soul attributes and the additional soul rings.
According to the system, his martial soul possesses both the True Fire of the Sun and the Lunar Essence of the Moon.
These two attributes maintain a balanced state of yin and yang complementing each other and merging within his body.
In this state, ordinary spirit rings simply cannot shake the balance between the two attributes within him.
"A mutated original martial soul, and also innate full soul power."
The troubled look on Xu Xiang's face disappeared, replaced by an expression of pride and self-satisfaction.
"You're a worthy son, you didn't embarrass your old man!"
As he spoke, Xu Xiang took out two wooden boxes from his storage soul tool and handed them to Xu Tianming.
"Father, what is this...?"
Xu Tianming looked at the two wooden boxes in front of him with a surprised expression.
Surely both of these wooden boxes couldn't both be gifts for him?
"Speaking of which, you have done a great job."
Xu Xiang's tone was somewhat wistful.
"Not long ago, I reported to the royal family that whale glue could enhance a Soul Master's physique, thereby helping them absorb higher-age Soul Rings."
"The royal family attached great importance to this discovery and arranged for experiments at Mingde Hall, which ultimately confirmed the effects of whale glue."
The types and strength of the martial souls of the Sun Moon Empire's soul masters are far inferior to those of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.
In addition, its emphasis on the use and research of soul tools and its neglect of the cultivation of soul masters themselves have led to the fact that the vast majority of soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire have a history of drug abuse.
While these drugs enabled them to increase their soul power more quickly, they also depleted their future potential.
The appearance of whale glue gave a sudden glimmer of hope to the high-ranking officials of the Sun Moon Empire, who were suffering from a lack of high-level combat power due to drug use.
After all, whale glue can solidify a Soul Master's foundation and enhance their physique.
Most importantly, there are no side effects!
"This is a reward bestowed upon you by the royal family. Open it and take a look."
Upon hearing Xu Xiang's words, Xu Tianming opened the two wooden boxes in front of him without hesitation.
In an instant, a wonderful fragrance wafted from the wooden box.
Xu Xiang took a deep breath and looked into the wooden box.
Inside one of the wooden boxes was a pill about the size of a thumb, which was milky white in color.
Another wooden box contained a strange, irregularly shaped, amber-colored solid.
A hint of doubt flashed in Xu Tianming's eyes, but before he could ask, Xu Xiang took the initiative to explain:
"This pill was made by Mingdetang by extracting the essence of the ten-thousand-year whale glue and then adding some other drugs based on experiments."
"In addition to enhancing the physical constitution of Soul Masters, it also amplifies the effect of whale glue in increasing the Soul Master's Soul Power."
Xu Tianming frowned slightly upon hearing this, but his gaze fell on another box, and he could probably guess what was inside.
"The other box contains a piece of pure natural whale glue produced by a 50,000-year-old narwhal."
As expected, Xu Xiang's words confirmed Xu Tianming's thoughts.
"Although both of these are rewards for you, according to Mingdetang's experiments, their effects cannot be combined."
"Choose one to take, either this elixir or whale glue."
Well, it's not that he didn't believe in Mingdetang's pharmaceutical technology.
However, people are hesitant to take these pills, which contain unknown technologies and harmful ingredients.
[Ding~ Host is facing a difficult choice. God-level choice activated. Please make a choice according to your own wishes!]
[God-tier choice one: Trust Mingdetang's pharmaceutical technology and choose Mingdetang's specially made pills.]
[Reward: 80,000-year-old Cyclops head soul bone!]
[Second God-Tier Choice: Reject technology and grueling work, choose 50,000-year-old pure natural whale glue.]
[Reward: One copy of the "Yin Yang Profound Ultimate Body Refining Technique, Part 1"!]
Xu Tianming's breathing paused almost imperceptibly, and he swallowed the words he was about to say.
The Cyclops is a soul beast with pure spiritual attributes, and the value of an 80,000-year-old head soul bone produced by this kind of soul beast goes without saying.
If this were outside, countless spirit-attribute soul masters would probably fight tooth and nail for it.
"But external objects like soul bones can never compare to cultivation techniques, even if... even if it's an incomplete cultivation technique."
After only a moment's hesitation, Xu Tianming had already made his decision.
He is destined to stand at the top of this world in the future. How could an 80,000-year-old soul bone be worthy of him?
What's more, it's the most important of all the soul bones, and the head soul bone that can't be replaced!
"Father, you should keep the pills from Mingde Hall for yourself."
Xu Tianming pointed to the wooden box in Xu Xiang's hand and said:
"I still choose this pure, natural 50,000-year-old whale glue!"
[Congratulations, host, for making your choice! You have been awarded the cultivation technique "Yin Yang Profound Extreme Body Refining Technique, Part 1"!]
[Would you like to claim it immediately?]
"Do not collect for now."
Xu Tianming gave the order to the system.
"Hmm?"
Kong Yue and Xu Xiang exchanged a glance after hearing Xu Tianming's choice, both seeing the look of confusion in each other's eyes.
They truly hadn't expected that Xu Tianming would abandon the elixir and choose the 50,000-year-old whale glue.
"Tianming, this pill is specially made by Mingde Hall. Its effect on improving a Soul Master's physique is no less than that of the 50,000-year-old whale glue."
"Its effect on enhancing soul power is far superior to that of the 50,000-year-old whale glue, and it has no side effects whatsoever."
At this point, Kong Yue's tone clearly carried a hint of confusion.
Why did you choose whale glue over elixirs?
"Mother."
Xu Tianming sighed softly.
"This whale glue is only whale glue, but there are other things in this pill besides whale glue that I don't know about."
"So I don't want to take any risks."
At this point, Xu Tianming suddenly smiled.
"Besides, I am a prodigy who possesses a mutated martial soul and is born with full soul power."
"The soul power boost from this pill might be precious to others, but in my eyes it's nothing special!"
