Within the seven-colored cocoon of light, Ning Liu's consciousness was completely blank.
Then, he "saw" it.
Three hazy shadows floated silently in front of them.
The light and shadow on the left were as hot as fire, and a roaring lion could be vaguely seen, its mane like flames, incredibly powerful.
The light and shadow on the right are dark and deep, like a lurking giant scorpion with its tail raised high, gleaming with a deadly cold light.
The light and shadow in the center, however, could not be clearly seen in its specific form, but it exuded an extremely sharp and intense energy, as if it could pierce through the sky.
[Ding! Please choose one of the following three random quality Martial Souls to awaken.]
The system notification sounded at the right time, followed by descriptions of the two martial souls on the left and right.
[Flaming Lion Martial Soul: High-level Beast Martial Soul, possessing formidable explosive power and inflicting fire attacks.]
[Ghost Scorpion Martial Soul: Intermediate Beast Martial Soul, highly venomous.]
After seeing all this, Ning Liu couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He knew about both of these martial souls.
The Ghost Scorpion Martial Soul is a bit lacking; its innate soul power seems to be only level four or five. It's enough to cultivate to the Soul King level, but I haven't really heard of anyone cultivating to the Soul Emperor or Soul Saint level.
But this Flaming Lion Martial Soul is indeed considered high-level, enough to cultivate to the Soul Saint or Soul Douluo level!
Furthermore, records indicate that there were even beings who cultivated to the level of Title Douluo!
And that titled Douluo's title is Flame Douluo!
However, Ning Liu's gaze returned to the center.
Strangely, the system did not provide any explanation and stated that this was the only option.
This put him in a difficult position!
Or, should we just choose the Flame Lion?
However, he always felt that the martial spirit in the middle was somehow connected to him in some mysterious way!
"I'll take the risk! Anyway, I still have pills that can evolve my martial soul!"
Ning Liu made up his mind!
"I want the one in the middle."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ball of light in the middle suddenly shone brightly.
Then, an indescribable sharp intent pierced into the depths of Ning Liu's consciousness.
Instantly, he felt as if his soul had been cleaved open by this thought and then reshaped.
Outside, the seven-colored cocoon of light enveloping Ning Liu trembled violently, and the light quickly receded, surging into his brow like a tide.
Ning Liu opened her eyes.
He opened his right hand, and with a slight thought, his second martial soul appeared in his hand.
It was a sword.
A long sword with an unusual and ancient design!
The sword is long and narrow, about three feet and seven inches long. It is not known what material it is made of, neither gold nor jade, but it has an almost transparent and ethereal quality, as if it were formed from moonlight.
The hilt is devoid of elaborate carvings, bearing only two simple seal characters: "Empty Dream".
Ning Liu gripped the sword hilt, and a feeling of blood connection welled up within him.
This sword had become a part of his soul, an extension of his limbs.
He could clearly feel the terrifying sharpness contained within the sword, as well as a dreamlike and ethereal sword intent.
Ning Liu was immediately filled with excitement!
"A sword is made of ordinary iron, but it becomes spiritual through wielding it."
"With a heart full of mountains and valleys, even dreams can cleave stars."
"What a magnificent Empty Dream Sword!"
The Empty Dream Sword also emitted a slight hum, as if in response.
...
Meanwhile, outside the Seven Treasures Auction House in Soto City.
Night had fallen.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin stood with his hands behind his back on the high platform in the center of the auction hall. The slightly chaotic atmosphere caused by the auction had been cleared away by the guards.
He closed his eyes to rest, like a statue.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, and two sharp glints flashed by.
"Zheng—!"
The Seven Kill Sword appeared in his hand on its own, emitting a sword cry. The sword trembled slightly, carrying a hint of... joy?
Sword Douluo frowned slightly.
He had just sensed a faint yet extremely pure sword intent emanating from him.
The sword intent was initially like a piece of unpolished jade hidden in its sheath, warm and restrained.
In an instant, it became incomparably sharp, seemingly capable of piercing the heavens.
Then, it returned to a kind of ethereal, dreamlike quality, elusive and hard to grasp, before disappearing.
...
Inside the owner's private room.
Ning Liu's excitement remained unabated for a long time.
If I were to add a soul ring to the Empty Dream Sword right now...
Wouldn't that mean the first spirit ring could directly absorb more than 50,000 years of energy?
Even higher!
This starting point is simply astonishing!
However, new problems also arose.
"The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda is primarily for support, while the Empty Dream Sword is primarily for offense."
"With two martial souls, how should the soul power be allocated? How should they be switched during battle? How should the soul skills be combined?"
A series of thoughts rushed into Ning Liu's mind, and he gradually calmed down.
While twin martial souls are powerful, they are probably not as simple as one plus one.
Perhaps there are some secrets that I am unaware of!
"This matter is not urgent and requires careful consideration."
He made up his mind to first thoroughly study the characteristics of the Dream Sword and the information about twin martial souls before considering the matter of soul rings.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in his mind.
"That's right!"
He remembered the soul bone that had been returned at the previous auction!
Left arm bone of the Sky-Splitting Saber-Toothed Tiger!
At the time, he felt that this soul bone, which was so aggressive, was not suitable for him, but rather for Sword Douluo.
But now...
Ning Liu glanced at the Empty Dream Sword in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.
What a coincidence!
This left arm bone of the Sky-Splitting Saber-Tooth Tiger possesses two major skills: Sky-Splitting Nine Tribulations and Saber-Tooth Echo.
The former is the nine claw-like rays of ultimate explosive power.
