"Greetings, Deputy Tower Master."
Zhou Tianshuo bowed respectfully. The folds of his golden-threaded robe shimred like ripples under the soul-guided lights, his deanor exceptionally deferential.
As the leader of the Leng family faction in the Donghai branch, he was well aware of the temperant of this Phoenix Douluo. Even his breathing beca deliberately softer.
"Elental affinity approaching Ultimate, mastery over seven elents…"
Leng Yaozhu was still recalling the young girl she had just t as she took her seat at the head of the room. A holographic projection on the crystal table replayed Gu Yue's battle footage repeatedly.
"Explain. What caused the alarm?"
"It was a boy's martial soul—it released an extre level of heat…"
Zhou Tianshuo quickly summarized the situation, sharing all he knew with Leng Yaozhu.
After listening, Leng Yaozhu's eyes grew deep and contemplative.
A dual-Ultimate martial soul—sothing even she, a Limit Douluo and Four-Character Battle Armor Master, had never encountered. Her own martial soul was the Ultimate fire-based Phoenix. Title: Heavenly Phoenix.
A dual-Ultimate martial soul wasn't simply about possessing two attributes—it held imasurable potential.
She had originally intended to take only Gu Yue as a disciple, but now she hesitated.
Compared to Gu Yue's multi-elent control, Gu La's dual-Ultimate martial soul was no less impressive, and in so cases, potentially even stronger.
Leng Yaozhu looked at Gu La, her first impression favorable. With a slight parting of her crimson lips, she asked, "You're Gula. Do you know Gu Yue?"
"No."
Gu La's ntal strength was formidable, allowing him to lie convincingly even in front of a Limit Douluo.
Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly. It was rely a casual question. What intrigued her was how Gu La's indifferent deanor mirrored Gu Yue's, evoking a sense of familiarity.
Zhao Tianyu hesitated for a mont before stepping forward. "Tower Master, young Gula here is also a twin martial soul user. He ca today to purchase a soul spirit."
Both Zhou Tianshuo and Leng Yaozhu were montarily stunned. Twin martial souls weren't particularly rare, but if Gu La's first martial soul was a dual-Ultimate one…
Leng Yaozhu's usually calm heart raced with emotion, though her outward deanor remained composed. "Release your second martial soul."
Gu La complied without hesitation, summoning his Celebi martial soul.
At this stage, the Celebi martial soul couldn't compare to the evolved Groudon martial soul, but the temporal energy within Gu La's body gave Celebi an extraordinary presence.
When Celebi's phantom appeared, the scorching air cleared instantly. All four of them felt as though they were surrounded by nature, their bodies refreshed and at ease.
This was an advanced use of Celebi's ability—not just affecting oneself but influencing the surrounding environnt.
Leng Yaozhu stared at Gu La's forehead, marveling, "What astonishing ntal power—at least mid-Spirit Sea Realm. At an age similar to Gu Yue's, both his soul power and ntal strength far surpass hers. Compared to that person, he's no less remarkable…"
Thinking of her unrequited love and her missing sister who had run away from ho, Leng Yaozhu's heart sank with lancholy.
Her gaze sharpened as she noticed the distorted space and slowed ti around the Celebi martial soul. She was inwardly surprised: 'It even carries traces of space and ti attributes. However, these are still inferior to the dual-Ultimate martial soul. Clearly, there's untapped potential.'
"Enough. Retract your martial soul."
Crimson-gold light swirled around Leng Yaozhu's fingertips. The air rippled as her overwhelming strength forcibly teleported the other two out of the room.
"Would you be willing to beco my disciple?"
Leng Yaozhu decided to follow her instincts and take Gu La as her disciple.
"I am honored, Master."
Gu La bowed respectfully, secretly relieved. After a series of twists and turns, his goal had been achieved.
He suddenly paused, realizing that since arriving in this tiline, his luck seed to have been consistently good.
Whether it was finding the perfect identity to replace, purchasing an estate, befriending influential figures, or becoming a disciple—all had unfolded perfectly according to his plans.
"Could it be… that the title of 'Fortune's Child' from the original tiline still holds true in this current one?"
Gu La boldly speculated, 'If that's the case, does the identity of 'Child of Nature' still hold value?'
"Tang Hao and Ah Yin—one the Plane Lord, the other the core of the plane—must be dealt with at so point. Otherwise, I won't find peace."
Gu La stood with his head bowed, pondering these issues without disrupting the apprenticeship ritual. Fortunately, there was no custom of kowtowing in Douluo Continent; mutual acknowledgnt of the master-disciple relationship was what mattered most.
After completing the ceremony, Gu La naturally changed his address.
"Master."
"Mm."
Leng Yaozhu acknowledged. This was her first ti taking a disciple, and she observed Gu La while considering what to do next.
A second later, she said, "You would have had a senior sister, but now that you've suddenly appeared, I haven't formally taken her as a disciple yet. In the future, she will likely beco your junior sister."
"You an Gu Yue, whom you ntioned earlier?" Gu La feigned ignorance.
"That's right. You must get along well in the future."
After giving her instructions, Leng Yaozhu checked Gu La's physical condition. Seeing his one purple and two black soul rings, she was montarily surprised but soon dismissed it.
In the current era of Douluo Star, after extensive developnt and efficient use of treasures, achieving a thousand-year first ring wasn't impossible—it was just that soul spirits offered better cost-effectiveness.
"The soul rings chosen for you by your family were carefully selected. Crystallized mutant Earth Demon Bear—Spirit Pagoda doesn't even have such a soul spirit."
"However, as my disciple, you won't need to worry about lacking suitable soul spirits. Since you've just beco my disciple today, I'll gift you a soul spirit as a token of our master-disciple bond."
Leng Yaozhu grabbed Gu La and boarded her black ch suit, flying southward at high speed toward a city.
Her black ch suit was nad "Phoenix Perch," its cockpit interior engraved with intricate phoenix patterns.
As the ch ascended, Gu La noticed the patterns absorbing light elents from the clouds, flowing across the dark tal surface like molten lava veins.
Through the porthole, the steel forest below rapidly receded, replaced by a sprawling expanse of greenery. Countless soul-guided trains zipped through tunnels carved between the trees.
Inside the ch, Leng Yaozhu explained, "Your martial soul is primarily plant-based, with spiritual support and traces of space-ti attributes."
"There are very few soul beasts suited to becoming your soul spirit. Fortunately, your ntal strength rivals that of a Soul Douluo, giving you ample choices."
"Let test you. What soul beasts do you think would make suitable soul spirits for you?"
The internal space of the ch was cramped, and sitting together inevitably led to physical contact. Leng Yaozhu treated Gu La like a child and didn't mind; their waists occasionally brushed against each other.
Gu La could only silently recite the Ice Heart Mantra, focusing on the question to distract himself.
"The most famous would be the Demon Eye Tree and the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew. The forr has the Myriad Beasts King as an example, so no further explanation is needed. The latter, being primarily spiritual-based and rarely developing intelligence, isn't worth considering."
Leng Yaozhu was montarily stunned. Even if Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew fit the criteria, aside from the Tang Sect's sacred grounds, it would be impossible to find one suitable as a soul spirit—and the Tang Sect wouldn't trade it anyway.
She realized that her newly acquired disciple seed to speak with great confidence.
