Chapter 14 Twin Martial Souls: Evil Shadow Demon Tiger
"roar!"
A strange, unfathomable black light, accompanied by a roar, suddenly erupted from his corpse.
Within the light, the roar of a tiger, filled with violence and evil, yet also carrying endless excitement and a sense of liberation, reverberated throughout the surrounding area.
Suddenly, a phantom of a black, blood-red, and ominous shadow tiger, its body wreathed in tangible shadows and an ominous aura, broke free from the gradually cooling corpse!
It roared to the sky, its voice booming, as if celebrating that it had finally gotten rid of that cowardly and foolish host who was completely unable to exert its power!
Immediately afterwards, the phantom of the evil tiger suddenly turned its head, its scarlet eyes fixed on Dai Youheng standing to the side, its gaze filled with longing, submission and recognition!
It let out a low, urging roar, then transformed into a black lightning bolt, rushing towards Dai Youheng and instantly disappearing into his brow!
"Well!"
Dai Youheng's body trembled violently as he felt an immense and extremely pure dark energy surge into his body like a bursting river, frantically merging with his original soul power.
His soul power level began to skyrocket at an alarming rate. At the same time, all the mysteries, applications, and insights into soul skills related to the Evil Shadow Demon Tiger Martial Soul were imprinted deep within his soul as if by instinct!
In his sea of consciousness, next to the Heavenly Demon Pill that defied fate, the phantom of another enormous creature slowly condensed and solidified. It was the unruly, evil, and domineering Evil Shadow Tiger Martial Soul!
In his mind, Xue Di's voice, tinged with a hint of amazement and understanding, lingered, "Hehe, an alien counterpart, one personally eliminated the other, and naturally inherited everything from him. Martial spirit, soul power, and even his very existence."
"With twin martial souls, the Evil Shadow Demon Tiger and the Heaven-Defying Demon Pill, Dai Youheng, you have truly become a monster."
As Dai Youheng felt the surging, roaring new power within his body, and the completely different second martial soul, he slowly clenched his fist, a cold yet satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Monster? Perhaps.
But in this world, only monsters can survive better.
He glanced at the sycophant's corpse on the ground, but instead of destroying the evidence, he used extreme ice to freeze it to prevent it from rotting. Then he put it into his soul tool. This sycophant's corpse might have another use in the future.
From this moment on, there is only one Dai Youheng in the world.
After killing his useless self and absorbing all of its power, Dai Youheng did not leave immediately. He knew that leaving at this moment would be suspicious. The best disguise was to completely replace everything about the other person, including their identity and social relationships.
He sat down cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and focused his mind into his body, beginning to carefully comprehend the martial spirit he had just acquired, which should have belonged to the true power of this body—the Evil Shadow Demon Tiger.
In the sea of consciousness, the phantom of a fierce tiger, its body pitch black, its eyes bloodshot, and its body shrouded in ominous shadows, let out a deep and satisfied roar.
Unlike the restrained and eerie power of the Heavenly Demon Pill of Reversal of Fate, the Evil Shadow Demon Tiger Martial Soul exudes a pure and domineering aura of darkness and destruction, full of bestial power.
"A variant of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger." Dai Youheng carefully examined it. "Its physical strength is no less than that of a genuine White Tiger, its energy attacks are more corrosive and destructive, and its attack methods are more unpredictable and bizarre. It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier mutated beast martial soul!"
He felt a pang of regret that such a powerful martial spirit had been wasted so many years by that sycophant. Such immense power, used to grovel and fawn, was truly a waste of talent.
As he sensed it, the three spirit rings floating around the Evil Shadow Tiger Martial Soul were also clearly reflected in his consciousness, two yellow and one purple.
Although that sycophant was lax in his cultivation, at least in terms of soul ring configuration, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion did not mistreat this illegitimate son, and still provided him with the standard optimal configuration.
The three spirit rings were approximately 400, 700, and 1500 years old respectively. He quickly digested the information from his martial soul and spirit rings, understanding the effects of the three spirit skills:
First Soul Skill: Demonic Tiger Body. Initially activates the Demonic Tiger bloodline, comprehensively enhancing one's strength, speed, defense, and reflexes by 50%. Faint shadow patterns appear around the body, slightly increasing resistance to physical and energy attacks.
Second Soul Skill: Shadow Soul-Splitting Claw. Concentrates shadow and destructive energy into the claws, unleashing a swift and fierce tearing attack. The attack trajectory is unpredictable, able to ignore the opponent's physical defense to some extent, and inflicts a slight impact and stinging sensation on the target's mental energy.
Third Soul Skill: Shadow Boiling. This skill activates the evil shadow energy within the body, making it as active as boiling water, entering a frenzied state. In this state, strength, speed, defense, and mental power are multiplied, and negative status effects can be resisted to a certain extent. Physical flexibility and explosive power are enhanced, allowing for short-distance, small-amplitude shadow displacement to evade attacks.
These three soul skills can be considered as mutated and upgraded versions of the common White Tiger Martial Soul skills: White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Blazing Light Wave, and White Tiger Vajra Transformation.
"Three very practical soul skills, especially the third soul skill, Shadow Shift..." Dai Youheng commented in his heart, "It is indeed many times more effective than the one used by that good-for-nothing."
At the same time, he clearly felt his soul power level surge. The level 31 soul power of that sycophant merged into his original level 17 soul power like a river flowing into the sea.
In the end, his soul power stabilized at level thirty-eight!
He jumped from level 17 to level 38, breaking through level 21 in a row.
It may seem like a little less, but it's actually reasonable. In the cultivation of a Soul Master, the total amount of Soul Power required for each level increases exponentially as you progress.
The amount of soul power at the Soul Master and Soul Warrior levels (around ten levels) is not particularly large for a Soul Venerable.
If it's a Title Douluo level, even if a Soul Emperor poured all their soul power into him, raising him by half a level would be considered a great gain.
"A level 38 Soul Master, while still lagging behind Soul Kings like Xu Jiujiu, has caught up with most of his peers. More importantly," Dai Youheng clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, "because the two share the same origin, the foundation of the absorbed soul power is still incredibly solid, and they are twin martial souls!"
Just as he was getting used to his new power, a blue figure sped over from afar and landed lightly in front of him. It was the Wind Wolf Soul King's guard.
The guard's breathing was slightly rapid, but there were no obvious injuries on his body. Clearly, as an agility-type Soul King, it was not difficult for him to contend with a low-level offensive Soul Emperor with less than optimal Soul Ring configuration and escape unscathed without engaging in a death battle.
