Chapter 1 Kong Tianxu

Starry Sky Forest, Mixed Zone.

Although it is still dozens of kilometers away from the sparsely populated core area, the scenery here is already a wild primeval forest, with the shadows of towering ancient trees lying like giant beasts, and the dense branches and leaves blocking out most of the sunlight.

Only a few scattered beams of light stubbornly penetrated down, leaving many mottled marks on the uneven ground.

A bluish-black raccoon, over a meter long, moved slowly through the dense foliage, its thick paws treading on the treetops without making a sound.

It finally landed on a branch, its narrow, blood-red eyes observing its prey for the day.

He was a boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old. He was tall and slender, and his black outfit made him look capable and neat. His medium-length silver hair fell naturally over his shoulders, swaying slightly with his movements, which made his flawless face even more handsome and perfectly concealed the silver scales growing on his neck.

Several sharp claws, shimmering with emerald light, silently extended. The tiger-demon cat's blood-red eyes were fixed on the boy as he gradually walked directly below. Its central black vertical pupil contracted occasionally with excitement, and its entire body was poised to unleash its power.

It waits for the moment when the other party turns its back completely, then it pounces down and tears it to pieces.

The boy walked straight across the tree as it wished. A cruel smile spread across its lips, as if it could already see the wonderful sight of disemboweling this human.

Just as it was about to pounce, the boy suddenly raised his head, and its movements froze for a moment as their eyes met—

Those were a pair of silver vertical pupils as bright as the moon.

"Meow—!"

A piercing cry shattered the silence of the forest, the shadows of the trees swayed, and emerald light flashed wildly within them, accompanied by a series of crisp cracking sounds as branches and leaves snapped.

However, just as the emerald light reached its peak, a sharp, explosive sound, like the cry of a thousand birds, accompanied a bolt of blue-purple lightning that pierced through it.

The neighing stopped abruptly, its lingering echoes, tinged with a hint of resentment, reverberating among the verdant trees and casting a shadow of death over this vibrant scene.

The branches and leaves of the tree canopy were parted with a rustling sound, and a figure shimmering with a blue light floated down from the top.

With a slight exertion of his right hand, which had completely transformed into a dragon claw, the claw tip pierced the head of the tiger-demon cat in his hand, and fine blue-purple currents coursed through the charred jaw.

Seeing the black light gradually condensing on the Tiger Demon Cat, the three purple soul rings behind the boy slowly dissipated. He looked up at the increasingly deep twilight, his ink-black brows furrowing slightly.

"Without Grandpa's help, hunting for spirit rings is indeed much more difficult. It took a whole day to find just one ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast. It seems we'll have to explore deeper into the mixed zone tomorrow."

While he was thinking, he pulled out a dagger and began to treat the soul beast beneath him.

The blade was as thin as water, gliding effortlessly through the incredibly resilient muscles of the Ten Thousand Year Tiger Demon Cat. From an angle visible only to himself, a dark gold pattern was engraved on the hilt.

This design represents Mingde Hall.

Yes, the boy was not originally from the Three Kingdoms period of Douluo Continent, but came from the distant Sun Moon Empire.

His surname was extremely rare in the empire; it was Kong, the Kong of Kong Deming. And he was none other than Kong Tianxu, the only grandson of Kong Deming, the number one person of the Sun and Moon Realm and the Silver Moon Douluo.

Being able to venture alone into the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, the continent's premier gathering place for soul beasts, Kong Tianxu was naturally exceptionally talented. At only eleven years old, his soul power had already reached an astonishing level forty.

As a quasi-Soul Master, he single-handedly killed a ten-thousand-year-old Tiger Demon Cat, which was at least equivalent to a senior Soul King, without taking any damage. His Martial Soul must be extraordinary.

Silver Dragon—this is the martial spirit that Kong Tianxu awakened when he was six years old.

Undoubtedly a super martial soul, the Silver Dragon, as a top-tier dragon that directly inherits the bloodline of the Dragon God, is far superior to ordinary ultimate martial souls, which are almost the upper limit of the martial souls that humans can awaken.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call it the strongest martial soul in the history of the mainland.

With such exceptional advantages, Kong Tianxu naturally wouldn't waste his talent. For his first three spirit rings, he practically traversed several large spirit beast settlements within the Sun Moon Empire, all in pursuit of the most perfect match with his Silver Dragon Martial Soul talent.

However, as his cultivation level increased, the relatively scarce soul beast resources of the Sun Moon Empire could no longer meet his demand for higher quality soul rings.

Naturally, Kong Tianxu turned his attention to the Star Dou Great Forest, the best place for hunting souls on the entire continent.

After much effort, he finally persuaded his grandfather, who had always been very protective of him. The two of them traveled thousands of miles and finally stepped into this vast forest deep in the heart of the three rival kingdoms.

Unexpectedly, Kong Deming did not accompany Hunter Soul by his side as usual, but observed him from a certain range and asked Kong Tianxu to act alone in order to test his combat ability.

The sky was visibly darkening. The Starry Sky Forest was much more dangerous at night, and Kong Tianxu knew he couldn't stay there for too long.

Although he was strong in combat, he was ultimately only a quasi-Soul Master, while the Soul Beasts attracted by his bloody aura would come in an endless stream.

In order to maintain his best condition, he decided to leave the forest area tonight and take a good rest.

After quickly collecting the most valuable edible parts from the Tiger Demon Cat, Kong Tianxu identified the direction and sped off towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest with lightning speed.

A blue light emanated from his body again, this time only lingering around his toes. Even in simple running, his speed was anything but slow. Each touch of his toes, faintly glowing with blue light, propelled his body forward with astonishing speed.

A closer look reveals that wherever he went, dust rose slightly, as if blown up by a breeze from who-knows-where.

In the dense forest, Kong Tianxu didn't even release his martial spirit, but simply walked straight ahead at a leisurely pace.

The surrounding vegetation gradually thinned out, and in no time at all, they had crossed several miles and arrived at the outer area.

Since the Silver Dragon awakened, Kong Tianxu discovered that he had an amazing elemental affinity, especially the seven attributes that his martial soul initially granted him, which he could control with ease.

The sheer power of this incredibly versatile and nimble wind alone grants him speed comparable to other agility-based Soul Masters of the same level. Furthermore, in battle, the combined use of multiple elements gives him terrifying control and explosive power.

As soul power increases, this affinity continues to improve, revealing the true potential of a super martial soul.

Even without using his martial soul, he can now freely manipulate the wind element to accelerate himself.

The evacuation went more smoothly than expected. By nightfall, he had already left the Starry Sky Forest and was camping in a mountain valley twenty miles away.

After simply setting up a tent as a temporary shelter, Kong Tianxu began preparing dinner. Firewood was readily available, and starting a fire and cleaning were even easier for him, given his Silver Dragon Martial Soul.

Skillfully flipping the roasting meat on the fire and applying some sauce, a unique aroma soon began to waft from the campfire.

At the ten-thousand-year level, the flesh of a soul beast, nourished by soul power, possesses extremely high nutritional value, and all edible parts are rare and precious ingredients.

Kong Tianxu had eaten many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, but this was the first time he had cooked one himself.

The flesh of this ancient tiger-demon cat looks more like a tiger than a cat, and under his precise control of the flames, it gradually turns an enticing golden color.

Seeing that the meat was almost cooked, Kong Tianxu cut off a slice and put it in his mouth. The sauce wasn't overpowering, but it was incredibly fragrant. The meat slice melted in his mouth after just a few chews, transforming into a spicy yet refreshing heat that flowed down his throat. Perhaps because it had been nourished by the rich life force of the Star Dou Great Forest for so long, the mellow and delicious gravy possessed a flavor distinct from that of the native spirit beasts of the Sun and Moon Realms.

While enjoying the delicious food, Kong Tianxu unfolded the latest version of the Star Dou Great Forest survey map that the Sun Moon Army had obtained from the inner court of the Star Luo Empire, and made preliminary plans for tomorrow's action route.

His gaze swept quickly across the outer areas, finally settling on the boundary between the mixed zone and the core zone. There, a paradise for ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts resided.

His first three spirit rings were all thousand years old, so he was already qualified to absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

In fact, according to the assessment of the soul conductor measuring instrument before departure, his physical strength had already reached the level of seventy.

Even without pursuing the maximum age limit, Kong Tianxu was determined to obtain the ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring. Moreover, it would only be suitable for use if it were at least thirty thousand years old.

Given such age requirements, coupled with the pickiness of martial souls regarding the bloodline level of soul beasts, it is likely that only dangerous places close to the core area can be found to find a suitable soul beast.

He sprinkled a handful of seasoning spices evenly on top, and smiled self-deprecatingly to himself:

"It's unrealistic to expect to have a super soul beast eager to fuse with someone else right from the start."

Chapter 2 The Second Martial Soul Body

The night was as dark as ink, completely enveloping the earth. Kong Tianxu swallowed the last piece of perfectly roasted tiger demon cat meat and let out a satisfied sigh.

In less than half an hour, he had eaten all seven or eight pounds of good meat from a ten-thousand-year-old tiger-demon cat. This amount of food was absolutely exaggerated for someone his age.

What's even stranger is that despite eating so much, his stomach remained completely unchanged, like a bottomless pit.

After dinner, Kong Tianxu made some arrangements around the tent before going inside.

He removed his outer garments, leaving only a silver-scaled jade silkworm soft armor used to gather spiritual energy, and sat cross-legged to begin his cultivation for the day.

Although cultivation speed will not increase when you are in a bottleneck state, the accumulated soul power is real. After you acquire a soul ring, the soul power hidden in your limbs and bones will naturally appear.

In just five years, Kong Tianxu has jumped thirty levels, and his success is not solely due to his innate full soul power.

Over the past five years, he has put in several times the effort of his peers, devoting almost all his time to cultivation, in addition to studying the knowledge of soul tools.

This kind of meditation continued every night after he awoke.

If it weren't for his second life, which gave him mental strength and intelligence far surpassing his peers, he might not have been able to endure the arduous practice of cultivating day after day for years.

For the powerful Kong family, temptations were endless. If he had succumbed even slightly to them, his Soul Master level might have remained at its current level, but he would never have achieved his current level of Soul Power cultivation.

In truth, with his talent and family background, he didn't need to suppress himself so much. However, Tang San's attitude of recklessly manipulating the situation on the continent was like a sharp sword hanging over his head. As a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire, he dared not slack off in the slightest.

Fortunately, he had enough resources to control his own destiny, so all the hard work was worthwhile.

Holding fast to his core, a faint glow of soul power slowly emerged from Kong Tianxu's body. This light gradually spread, eventually settling on the surface of his body and outlining a human figure.

Strangely, the color of the soul power was not the bright silver that was the signature of the Silver Dragon Martial Soul, but gold, a pure light gold like water.

His first spirit ring was a genuine thousand-year level, and the support of a single spirit was certainly not enough, even if the silver dragon brought him a true dragon-level physical enhancement.

What enabled Kong Tianxu to possess such a terrifying ratio of spirit rings was his second spirit: the supreme body originating from himself.

Its rank is even higher than that of the Silver Dragon.

When his martial soul awakened, if his original martial soul, which had been in a semi-awakened state since birth, hadn't protected him and forcibly suppressed the violent power of the Silver Dragon martial soul at its inception, his fate would probably not have been much better than exploding and dying.

At this moment, what enveloped Kong Tianxu like a golden veil was the innate domain of his original martial soul—the Myriad Beginnings Return to Origin.

The domain's effect is simple to the extreme, yet also extremely domineering: purification. It forcibly breaks down all impurities and foreign forces, purifying them into the purest and most basic form of energy.

He silently recited the mantra, and golden soul power circulated throughout his body, while a vast amount of primordial energy from heaven and earth surged towards him.

Unlike other Soul Masters who choose the Yuan Power that suits their Martial Soul attribute, he refines all energy of any attribute into an extremely pure form the instant he approaches the Origin of Myriad Beginnings.

While nourishing the physical body, it also integrates into the circulation of soul power and is gradually absorbed.
