Chapter 3: The Ultimate Darkness, The Vanished Shadow
"Does it mean it's still a second even if it doesn't leak?"
Jiang Xiu looked up at Dong Zi'an in front of him, and was shocked. He did have a second martial soul, but he hadn't released it at all.
Seeing Jiang Xiu's expression, Dong Zi'an smiled knowingly, realizing he had guessed correctly, and then tried his best to calm his rough voice.
"Little friend, don't be nervous. Uncle is not a bad person. Come on, let Uncle see what your second martial soul is."
Bright lights scattered, and the cold wind outside the emergency center suddenly intensified, lashing against the metal walls with a harsh howling sound.
"This isn't the era of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect from ten thousand years ago. Dark attribute martial souls shouldn't be labeled as evil soul masters, so we should be fine..."
Jiang Xiu reassured himself that the Federation was unified in this period, unlike the chaotic situation of the four great empires during the Tang Sect era, and Dong Zian was right in front of him, so he didn't seem to have the power to refuse.
Besides, he's currently all alone and helpless; perhaps this is an opportunity...
"Uncle, I do indeed possess a second martial soul."
Jiang Xiu made up his mind and said crisply that the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul slowly returned to his body, and that extreme destructive power also quietly disappeared.
He cannot use two martial souls at the same time yet.
"As expected, let me see what kind of martial soul can coexist with the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon."
A hint of anticipation appeared in Dong Zi'an's eyes as he stared intently at Jiang Jue.
According to the theory of a certain master in history, the quality of the two martial souls of a person with twin martial souls will never differ too much.
"Buzz!"
Jiang Xiu slowly released his clenched left hand, and immediately a dense dark power surged out, as if darkness had descended. In an instant, the entire spacious Soul Guidance Emergency Center seemed to fall into eternal night, pitch black, and a cold aura gradually spread.
Dong Zian remained unmoved and continued to keep a close eye on Jiang Xiu.
"Heh heh heh!"
Dark power, flowing like water, converged, and a pitch-black figure rose beneath Jiang Xiu's feet. This figure was covered in sharp objects, tall and imposing, and its entire body was devoid of any color other than darkness.
The moment it fully coalesced, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly opened, their blood-red pupils filled with arrogance. A kingly aura swept out instantly, arms crossed, head bowed, looking down at Dong Zian with haughty pride.
At this moment, Jiang Xiu was also covered by a layer of darkness. His original purple eyes turned into blood eyes, and a trace of arrogance flashed in his eyes. The black shadow behind him was like a king's guard.
"This is a shadow-based martial soul? A martial soul with extreme dark attributes?"
A blue shadow flashed in Dong Zi'an's eyes, and he easily neutralized the oppressive force with a fluctuation of his soul power, but the shock in his heart was no less.
In the Douluo Continent, there is a kind of martial soul that is both simple and powerful, and this martial soul is extremely peculiar because it can undergo transformation. That is the original martial soul.
"However, why does the original martial soul possess additional attributes as soon as it appears, and even those are extreme dark attributes?"
While feeling surprised, a surge of excitement welled up in Dong Zi'an's heart.
He seems to have hit the jackpot!
A Soul Master with dual extreme attribute martial souls—there seems to be no one like him in history!
"Uncle, have you seen enough?"
Looking at Dong Zian, whose eyes were burning with desire and whose throat was occasionally bobbing, Jiang Xiu smiled politely.
"Ahem, put it away. Your Shadow Martial Soul is very good, very good!"
Dong Zian realized he had slightly lost his composure, so he coughed lightly and waved his hand, saying it wasn't that he wasn't strong enough, but that the shock Jiang Xiu had given him was too intense.
He dared to say that even Yun Ming, currently the strongest person on the continent, would be tempted if he were here.
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered, and as he slightly clenched his fist, the power of darkness receded, and the shadow behind him quietly disappeared.
Jiang Xiu did not refute Dong Zian's words, but he knew in his heart that the shadow behind him was not the Shadow Martial Soul that Dong Zian mentioned, but the Dark Shadow King, the ruler of the Eternal Night!
The Shadow King's power lies not in its dark attributes, but in its ability to extract the shadows of the dead.
One man forming an army is the best description of the Shadow King! And during this period, Jiang Jue had already secretly made a plan regarding the target he was targeting with the Shadow...
"By the way, Uncle, how did you know I possess a second martial soul?"
Suddenly, Jiang Xiu seemed to realize something and asked in confusion, "If he didn't miss it, then it must be Dong Zi'an's problem."
"Haha, you might not have noticed that your shadow disappeared after you fainted during the Abyss Tide."
Dong Zian smiled, a rare occurrence, and pointed his thick finger to Jiang Xiu's side under the light.
Jiang Xiu looked in the direction Dong Zian pointed, and his expression suddenly froze. He realized that under the light, he really didn't have a shadow at all.
"Am I no longer human?"
Jiang Xiu's forehead twitched as an idea popped into his mind: What is a person without a shadow?
"Don't worry. Based on my guess, your shadow should have transformed into your martial soul. After all, the martial soul is a part of oneself."
After a moment's consideration, Dong Zian's eyes gleamed.
"Of course, there is another possibility: that you were not waiting for awakening, but were in the midst of an awakening ceremony."
Faced with the sudden appearance of the abyssal tide, in a moment of crisis, your martial spirit acted to protect its master. Since your martial spirit happens to be your own shadow, it appeared and saved you through your shadow as a medium, and your shadow subsequently merged with it.
After a pause, Dong Zian put his hands behind his back and said.
"Of course, these are all guesses, since I wasn't with you at the time."
But Jiang Xiu was slightly shocked after hearing this, because he was indeed awakening his martial soul at the time, and this person's wisdom was so amazing!
"Little friend, where are your parents? Uncle would like to see them."
After a moment, a glint of light flashed in Dong Zian's eyes, and he asked in a soft voice, his tone somewhat urgent.
"Uncle, you may never see them again."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu shook his head slightly, a trace of sadness appearing on his handsome face.
"It's alright. Just tell me where they are, and with my abilities, I can find them within half a day."
Dong Zian waved his hand, the five gold stars on his shoulder shining brightly. With his status in the Federation, finding two people was a piece of cake.
"They died in battle four years ago."
"Only two small medals came back."
As soon as Jiang Xiu finished speaking, Dong Zian's expression suddenly froze. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
"Good child, your parents are great, and you are great too."
Dong Zian patted Jiang Xiu on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.
"By the way, Uncle, my parents' two medals are still in Snow City..."
"It will be there, Uncle will help you find it, don't be afraid."
As a soldier, Dong Zian could better understand this emotion. Looking at Jiang Xiu's small body, Dong Zian shook his head slightly.
Four years ago, Jiang Xiu was only two years old.
