Chapter 15 - A Swift Year

By chance, circumstances converged.

The ripples Lin Rong created altered the original trajectory of this world.

Tang San and Tang Yuehua returned to the Clear Sky Sect.

Tang San got into a severe conflict with several elders of the Clear Sky Sect regarding Tang Hao.

Six-year-old Tang San was not the level fifty-nine Soul King from the original story, but a level thirteen Spirit Master.

Therefore, Tang San was, without surprise, reprimanded by the pedantic and rigid elders.

Tang Yuehua herself only had level nine Soul Power and was unable to intervene.

Tang Xiao was also somewhat pedantic; he wanted to stop them but dared not, as they were his elders.

This conflict caused the former Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, who was also the father of Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Tang Yuehua, and the grandfather of Tang San, to have a relapse of his illness and pass away.

Naturally, those elders of the Clear Sky Sect blamed Tang San for everything.

Thus, Tang San was kicked out of the Clear Sky Sect without even staying a full day.

As for Tang San having Twin Martial Souls, according to the seventh elder of the Clear Sky Sect:

"Twin Martial Souls? So what!"

"When this mongrel can resolve the conflict between his Twin Martial Souls, it won't be too late to talk about it!"

After this incident, Tang San wanted to return to Tang Hao's side but was refused by Tang Yuehua, who took Tang San back to Moon Xuan.

"Little San, from now on, Moon Xuan is your home!"

Correspondingly, Xiao Wu, having not met Tang San, was captured and kept by Tang Hao, who planned to have Tang San personally kill this hundred-thousand-year-old transformed Spirit Beast and absorb its Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone in the future.

Xiao Wu was confined within a Spirit Tool capable of storing living beings. Even her once-daily feeding was done by Tang Hao directly throwing food into the Spirit Tool, giving Xiao Wu no chance to come out.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, where are you? Why haven't you come to save me yet?"

Xiao Wu regretted everything. She never expected that such a desolate place would have Spirit Masters of Soul Douluo rank or above.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Young Sect Master, the key to practicing the art of split-mind control is... you need to... next is..."

"Um, I've been studying for several hours, can I rest for a bit?"

"Young Sect Master, I'm afraid that's not possible. The Sect Master ordered that during study time, you must focus on studying. It will soon be time for a break."

"Is that a break? That's clearly practice time!"

"The Sect Master said that meditation is rest."

"I..."

Lin Clan Duke's Mansion.

"Hongjun, this is a training plan specifically tailored for you. Take a look."

Ma Hongjun's hands couldn't help but tremble as he looked at the dense text on the white paper.

"Uncle, look..."

"No, Hongjun. His Grace the Duke said that your Mutated Martial Soul will generate Evil Fire after cultivation, and high-intensity training is currently the only solution without side effects."

"You don't want to become a fatso in the future, or even die from Evil Fire burning you alive, right!"

"No, I don't want to become like that. When do we start training?" For the sake of a handsome appearance and a slender figure, he was willing to go all out.

"Hongjun, don't rush. The training location isn't here, and the training volume increases gradually. You don't have to worry about exceeding your limits."

Barak Kingdom, Shrek Academy.

Oscar lay on the ground, bored to death. The warm sunlight shone on him, feeling very comfortable.

"Sigh! Once again, no junior students joined this year. When will this lonely life of mine ever end!"

"Without pretty junior girls, what's the use of me having a handsome face?"

"Even if this beard covers my handsome face, it's fine. When junior girls arrive, I'll shave it off."

"After all, shaving is such a hassle!"

...

Time flew by like a white steed in a gap.

One year later.

After Lin Rong awakened his Nine Bend Vine Dragon Martial Soul, he had people clear a piece of land in the manor and plant a banyan forest there.

Besides banyan trees, the banyan forest also had a large number of vines planted alongside, growing together.

This was the "Mimic Cultivation Ground."

For over a year, Lin Rong had basically stayed in this banyan forest, cultivating the Marrow Cleansing Scripture to improve his Soul Power.

At the same time.

After absorbing the aura of the Nine Bend Vine Dragon, these banyan trees and vines grew even more luxuriantly, not looking like they had only been growing for a little over a year.

Complementing this, the Banyan Forest, serving as a mimic cultivation ground, gradually increased its auxiliary cultivation effects.

Deep within the Banyan Forest, beneath a particularly lush and verdant banyan tree.

"Hoo~"

Lin Rong exhaled a breath of stale air, awakening from his cultivation.

"Excellent, at only seven years and three months old, my Soul Power has broken through to level twenty."

"Although the Heart of the Banyan Wood increased my total Soul Power by fifty percent, it significantly reduced my cultivation speed."

"But so what? I still broke through to level twenty before the age of eight."

"In one year and three months, my Soul Power increased by five levels. That's an average of one level every three months, a cultivation speed of four levels per year."

"I wonder how Ma Hongjun is doing. Last month, his message reported his Soul Power level was at the peak of level sixteen."

"From the peak of level twelve to the peak of level sixteen, an increase of four levels in fourteen months, averaging one level every three and a half months. His cultivation speed is barely close to three and a half levels per year."

"Now that a month has passed, Ma Hongjun should have broken through to level seventeen."

Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul is the Fire Phoenix, so the most suitable mimic cultivation ground for him would naturally be a volcano.

Coincidentally, Heaven Dou Royal Spirit Master Academy had a volcanic cluster.

Since the academy's group of pampered young nobles never went there anyway, it was better to use it than not.

Therefore, Lin Rong had Guard Xu escort Ma Hongjun to live there long-term, where he would complete his daily cultivation and various training tasks.

Heaven Dou Royal Spirit Master Academy was astonishingly vast. Its hardware and software facilities were undoubtedly first among all Spirit Master academies in the Heaven Dou Empire, with a significant gap separating it from the second-place academy.

However, the academy only admitted children of nobles, which resulted in a generally uneven quality of students, with a considerable portion of them being second-generation rich kids.

This group of second-generation rich kids treated Heaven Dou Royal Academy as their private garden, frequently bringing outsiders into the academy for leisurely pursuits.

This led to the academy, which already had lax security, becoming as porous as a sieve.

Because of this, Ma Hongjun and the other person, using Lin Rong's Duke token, had unimpeded passage to the volcanic cluster.

Lin Rong would then arrange for people to deliver various needed supplies to them each month, while also keeping abreast of Ma Hongjun's cultivation progress.

For over a year, Ma Hongjun had not resisted the high-intensity training tailored for him.

This was because Lin Rong had people take Ma Hongjun to see several fat and ugly men, and told him:

"If you don't exhaust your Evil Fire through high-intensity training, you'll end up looking like this in the future."

This immediately filled Ma Hongjun with motivation for training, and he even found enjoyment in it.

With such diligent cultivation and training, coupled with the advantage of the volcanic mimic cultivation ground.

Ma Hongjun was able to achieve a cultivation speed of three and a half levels per year, starting with only a innate Soul Power of level nine.

Twin Martial Souls had no drawbacks in Douluo Dalu II, but they did in Douluo Dalu I.

Furthermore, only a divine trial could resolve this issue.

Although the original work did not explicitly point out this problem or provide a detailed explanation.

However, both Bibi Dong and Tang San only began cultivating their second Martial Soul after becoming inheritors of divine power.
