Douluo: The Gate to Heaven

For most Soul Masters with twin Souls, cultivating two Souls together means giving up their future potential. For example, Xiao Xiao from Huo Yuhao's team added her first Soul Ring to her second Soul, the Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute, in advance.

However, Tuoba Wukong and Xiao Xiao are in different situations. Tuoba Wukong's first soul ring is a thousand-year soul ring. He is confident that the first soul ring attached to his second martial soul can also reach a thousand years, or even more than five thousand years. Although it is not as good as the first soul ring attached to the second martial soul of other twin martial soul masters, it is not far off.

It's not too much of a waste of talent.

Furthermore, as Tuoba Wukong's two martial souls increase in power, the age of the soul rings he can absorb will also increase, making it no worse than cultivating a single martial soul.

Now, the only problem facing Tuoba Wukong is how to hunt down the soul beast that will be attached to the first soul ring of his second martial soul.

For the Martial Soul of My Own, Tuoba Wukong's goal is to obtain the first Soul Ring that is over five thousand years old.

Therefore, my martial soul is a physical martial soul. Tuoba Wukong plans to develop in the direction of strong attack type, and the rarity of the soul beasts he needs is not as high as that of space type soul beasts. Some top strong attack type soul beasts will be enough.

However, soul beasts that are over 5,000 years old are no weaker than human soul masters. Unless you are extremely lucky, you need at least a soul master of soul king level or above to hunt one that is over 5,000 years old.

Shrek Academy has no shortage of such strong individuals; in fact, most of its teachers are at least at the fifth ring level, and outstanding individuals like Du Ruoshui are even approaching the seventh ring level.

However, Tuoba Wukong did not want to ask the Shrek Academy people to accompany him. His twin martial souls were his biggest secret, and no matter what, he had to keep some secrets.

Although Tuoba Wukong knew that it wouldn't be easy to keep this secret hidden forever, he would at least wait until he had enough power to protect himself before revealing it. Although Shrek Academy had a good reputation, no one could guarantee that an anomaly like Tuoba Wukong wouldn't become a subject of Shrek Academy's research.

Moreover, Tuoba Wukong had another major concern, which was his background.

Although the Tuoba family has integrated into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and become its affiliated sect, Tuoba Wukong, who grew up in the Tuoba family, still felt the Tuoba family's resentment. This can be seen from the fact that some of the family's disciples changed their surname to Wu, which is related to the Wu Spirit Hall.

The Tuoba family was once an appendage of the Spirit Empire. Although ten thousand years have passed since the Spirit Empire's defeat, the impact of the Spirit Empire was still enormous. Even the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent four thousand years ago did not have the same impact as the emergence of the Spirit Empire ten thousand years ago.

After all, the Spirit Empire had two god-level powerhouses who emerged out of nowhere and once dominated the entire Douluo Continent.

It was the emergence of the Sea God Tang San who led his companions to defeat the Spirit Empire and restore peace to the continent.

However, even after ten thousand years, the shadow cast by the Spirit Hall on various forces has not disappeared.

The three major sects of the past, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, have all declined to this day and have not been able to recover to their peak. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has also lost its former glory.

The major powers still harbor deep fear of the remnants of the Spirit Hall.

Over the past ten thousand years, countless forces associated with the Spirit Hall have perished.

Although a few factions survived, their situation was not good.

The Tunan family is just one example.

The Tuoba family appears to have been accepted by the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School, but there are hidden secrets within.

For thousands of years, the Tuoba family has never produced a single powerhouse at the Title Douluo level.

It is worth noting that ten thousand years ago, during the era of the Spirit Empire, the Tuoba family produced a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level, and was known as the number one sect under the Spirit Empire.

Although the facts are somewhat exaggerated, at that time, the fact that the Tuoba family was able to produce a Title Douluo and be recognized as the number one sect by the Spirit Empire, as well as the commander of the Spirit Empire's Holy Dragon Legion, meant that the Tuoba family's spirit and strength were beyond doubt.

It is a dragon-type martial soul, and a relatively powerful one at that. Although achieving the title of Title Douluo is difficult, it is not to the point that no one has been able to achieve it for ten thousand years.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's fear and suppression of the Tuoba family has never dissipated.

The Tuoba family was in a slightly better situation than the Tunan family, but not by much.

Even Shrek Academy's attitude towards the legacy of martial souls is ambiguous.

For the first time in ten thousand years, Shrek Academy accepted members of the Tunan family into its school. However, the academy turned a blind eye to the suppression of the Tunan family by the three great empires, and no one knew Shrek Academy's attitude.

Tuoba Wukong was also unsure whether Shrek Academy would take action against him if he displayed too extraordinary talent.

"Perhaps, the second wonderful use of my Martial Soul can come into play," Tuoba Wukong thought to himself.

Therefore, my martial soul can not only merge with his true body, but also cause his various attributes to surge when the two bodies are combined. He can also switch his true body and appear in the form of his second martial soul.

He will be a completely new person, able to create a new identity and become active in the Douluo Continent.

"After graduation, I can hire a Soul King who I can trust to accompany me to the Soul Beast Forest to find and hunt Soul Rings suitable for my second Martial Soul," Tuoba Wukong said.

Shrek City, as the core of Shrek Academy, is a place where commerce and culture are thriving, second only to the three great empires in the east of Douluo Continent.

Many graduates of Shrek Academy stay in Shrek City to make a living.

In addition, Shrek City is adjacent to the Star Dou Great Forest, and many Soul Master mercenary teams take on missions here. Whether it's searching for rare and precious materials in the Star Dou Great Forest or hunting for Soul Rings, as long as you spend money, you can do it.

Tuoba Wukong's goal is to acquire a soul ring from a soul beast that is over 5,000 years old. Hiring a team of Soul Kings would cost around 10,000 gold coins on the market.

Tuoba Wukong currently has far too few gold coins.

He needs to earn more gold coins before the end of this semester.

Money is something that is indispensable in any world.

Five months later.

Soul Guidance Zone.

There are three days left until the end of the first academic year at Shrek Academy.

Tuoba Wukong held a sky-blue carving knife in his hand, the tip of which moved incessantly across a thumb-sized, silvery-white metal sheet. Sparks flew as the knife rubbed against the metal, making it look like a fire dragon darting across the circular metal sheet...

Tuoba Wukong's eyes were filled with focused attention.

This is a depiction of the core components of the Mind Guardian.

Five months ago, Tuoba Wukong had already completed the crafting of the Mind Guardian Soul Tool, officially becoming a top-tier Level 3 Soul Master.

With the fusion of his two bodies, especially with the awakening of his original self-spirit, Tuoba Wukong's mental focus and control over his body have been greatly enhanced, resulting in a further improvement in his talent as a Soul Master.

If Tuoba Wukong was merely a theoretical genius in soul guidance in the past...

Now, whether in theory or practice, Tuoba Wukong is undoubtedly a genius.

As the final stroke landed steadily, the thumb-sized core component of the Mind Guardian immediately emitted a soft white light, blending seamlessly with the silver-white metal, resembling a work of art.

Then, Tuoba Wukong took out a pocket watch-type case and skillfully inlaid the core components into the pocket watch, and a beautifully designed pocket watch soul tool appeared in his hand.

"This is the last piece of the Mind Guardian. With this piece, my deal with Zhou Sichen is complete," Tuoba Wukong muttered to himself.

Since making contact with Zhou Sichen last time, Tuoba Wukong has reached a cooperation agreement with Zhou Sichen, in which Zhou Sichen will purchase and collect rare metals, and he will use them to make soul tools to sell to Zhou Sichen.

Over the past eight months, he has crafted no fewer than ten spiritual guardians.

Perhaps due to the sudden emergence of Huo Yuhao, a spirit-type soul master, the popularity of the Mind Guardian, a soul tool with the attribute of mental defense, has soared at Shrek Academy.

Relying on the protection of his soul, Tuoba Wukong finally managed to raise enough money to hire a mercenary team of soul masters.

Similarly, the modification of two soul tools was also completed.

Beside him, a silver sniper rifle made of pure metal and a heavy, black shield lay quietly on the control panel.

"The Grim Reaper's Sniper", "Iron Wall".

These are the names that Tuoba Wukong gave to the two soul tools he crafted.

Yes, a soul tool.

Although the Death Sniper incorporates technology from the previous life, it is no longer just a simple technological product. Instead, it integrates soul guidance technology and has truly become a soul guidance device.

Although the barrier to entry for ordinary people has been removed, both its lethality and range have been greatly improved, making it no less powerful than the sniper rifle of the previous life.

Within a kilometer, it has a certain killing power even against Soul Kings.

If it weren't for the many unpredictable events in the Star Dou Great Forest, no one would know what accidents might happen. Tuoba Wukong himself had never set foot in the Star Dou Great Forest before. Tuoba Wukong even wanted to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for the soul ring needed for his second martial soul.

The other soul tool is called the Unbreakable Shield.

As its name suggests, this heavy shield was designed by Tuoba Wukong to be an unbreakable fortress.

The Unbreakable Shield weighs 361 jin (approximately 180 kg) and incorporates multiple rare metals and 36 layers of defensive formations. Although it is only a level 3 soul tool, the materials used are enough to forge a level 5 soul tool.

The difficulty of its forging is no less than that of a top-tier level four soul tool.

The sheer quantity of materials and the difficulty of its forging make this soul tool far surpass the defensive capabilities of other soul tools of this caliber. In terms of sheer defensive strength, even a Soul King-level expert would find it difficult to break through the magic array on it and shatter this shield with their full-force attack.

The defensive capabilities of this soul tool surpass those of most level-four defensive soul tools.

It is considered a high-quality item among level four soul tools.

With two powerful soul tools, one for offense and one for defense, Tuoba Wukong's martial soul didn't improve much, but his combat power underwent a dramatic change.
