Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 3 An Alternative Twin Martial Soul

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Fei has been mainly focused on three tasks lately. First, he continues to train his body every day. As a Soul Master, health is the foundation of everything; everything is based on physical fitness. The higher one's physical condition, the greater the benefits, whether it's absorbing Soul Rings or in combat.

Secondly, because Xiao Fei's martial soul is a fire phoenix, he frequently visits Tang Hao's blacksmith shop. It's the place with the best fire element in the entire village, and although there are no methods for cultivating soul power there, Xiao Fei feels a strong sense of familiarity. Based on his understanding of the original work, Xiao Fei believes this is probably the best simulated environment for fire element cultivators.

Tang Hao also knew Xiao Fei, and knew that Xiao Fei was Old Jack's grandson and had awakened the Flame Bird Martial Soul. He didn't drive Xiao Fei away, after all, Old Jack had been of some help to both Tang Hao and Tang San.

Xiao Fei occasionally helped with blacksmithing there for a while, but his technique was extremely crude. He was a complete novice to Tang Hao and Tang San, which made Tang Hao always scoff at him and basically ignore him. Privately, however, Tang Hao praised Xiao Fei quite a bit, saying that such a young child had actually begun to understand how to learn from his environment.

Finally, there's the matter of understanding and confirming my own martial soul. Through this period of research, I've finally confirmed two things about my martial soul: it's the same as Ma Hongjun's—a phoenix of evil fire. And since it's evil fire, it's probably even more difficult to deal with than Ma Hongjun's. This evil fire is somewhat like the drugs of my past life; it will likely become even more severe after I fully awaken my spirit rings.

Furthermore, Xiao Fei was completely baffled as to why he actually possessed two martial souls, the other being his right hand. His top-tier main martial soul had only awakened one hand; could it be due to watching too many pornographic films in his past life, resulting in the awakening of the "Qilin Arm"? It seemed he could use both martial souls simultaneously.

Finally, there's all the transmigrator welfare systems and the like. I've been calling for them for months, but I haven't gotten a single thing. It seems I can only rely on myself to develop them.

Regarding his own development, Xiao Fei made several plans. First, he must obtain the Phoenix Sunflower in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. This is related to whether Xiao Fei can cultivate in the future or his subsequent development. Without the Phoenix Sunflower, his maximum potential may only be Soul Emperor, and there is even a risk of his body exploding.

My target academy after graduation is Blazing Fire Academy. That's the most suitable place for developing a fire elemental martial soul. Then there's the question of the direction of martial soul development; naturally, the Kirin Arm can't be developed there.

The Fire Phoenix has already been registered with the Spirit Hall, so it's likely that this is the only spirit it can develop. There are two main directions for development, similar to Marco and Ace from One Piece: one focusing on fire element, and the other on physical constitution and regeneration. Both seem promising. One excels in area-of-effect attacks, and the other in single-target attacks. I believe I can combine the strengths of both.

First, all spirit rings must have fire element, and should be as close as possible to the phoenix bloodline. If not, then use dragon bloodline or restore a powerful bloodline, especially for the first few spirit rings.

As for the Qilin Arm, you can just keep upgrading the level of the Soul Beast in the later stages. The arm is part of the main body, so it can withstand any element.

Holy Soul Village only has one work-study student spot, which is not a problem for Old Jack. Most of the surrounding villages don't have awakened martial souls, so he took a spot from the neighboring King Soul Village.

The start of the school year is almost here. Old Jack secretly gave Xiao Fei three gold soul coins. This must be the money Old Jack has saved for Xiao Fei over the years. Originally, it was meant to help him get married, but now going to school seems to be more important than getting married.

Old Jack, leading Xiao Fei and Tang San, packed their belongings, and the three of them headed towards Notting City. Xiao Fei glanced back at the village every now and then, watching the busy villagers around him. Xiao Fei knew that from this day forward, he would be different. He had taken the biggest step in his life's transformation; when he returned, he would undoubtedly be a Soul Master, while those around him would just be ordinary villagers.

On the way, Tang San kept asking Old Jack some questions, all of which were basic questions about Soul Masters. For a reborn person, these were basic common sense questions. But from all of this, Tang San's nervousness was also evident. It was obvious that Tang San had social anxiety. Those who knew Tang San's upbringing thought that all of this was normal.

First, in his previous life, Tang San was a disciple of the Tang Clan, an assassin organization whose core principles were poison and assassination. Assassins are often solitary and withdrawn, so Tang San's interpersonal relationships also tended towards isolation.

Secondly, there's Tang Hao, the alcoholic. Tang Hao basically didn't provide Tang San with any education growing up, while Tang San learned to do housework from a young age. It could be said that Tang San was taking care of Tang Hao. Moreover, the two of them barely interacted in daily life, which fostered Tang San's current withdrawn and socially awkward personality.

Finally, around noon, the three of them arrived at the entrance of Notting Elementary School.
