"Of these two martial spirits, you choose one as the first martial spirit. As for the other, hide it. Don't show other till you reach titled Douluo."
Neuvillette nodded, understanding Lexius's words. He didn't ask any more questions.
"Don't you want to know why?" Lexius asked, sounding doubtful. He wanted to show off his knowledge, but little Neuv didn't seem curious, which made him feel slighted.
Neuvillette's eyes twitched. Lexius's eager expression made him feel awkward.
"Why?" He decided to play along and pretend to be ignorant.
"Ha ha..." Lexius laughed, pleased with himself. "Twin martial souls are different from ordinary soul masters who have one martial soul. As the name suggests, they have two martial souls."
"To break through the boundaries, it is enough for one martial soul to obtain a soul ring, but the other martial soul does not need to obtain a soul ring. You can wait until your cultivation level is high before you obtain a soul ring."
"Think about it, after you break through to Soul Douluo, or even become a Titled Douluo, and then get a soul ring for your second martial soul, will it still be a century- or millennium-level soul ring?"
"This is why grandpa said you are invincible."
"As for why I told you not to reveal your twin martial souls, it's because it's a crime for a common man to harbor a jade without any guilt!"
"There have been soul masters with twin martial souls in the past, but no one has been able to successfully add nine soul rings to the second martial soul. But, what if someone succeeds?"
"If they don't have such qualifications, they will be jealous of others who have such qualifications, and thus assassinate such geniuses, monsters."
"Before you have enough strength, it is best not to be exposed if you can. My eight major families are connected by the same spirit and are not vegetarians. However, those people's unreasonable assassinations are hard to guard against. If something goes wrong before you grow up,..."
"Do you understand?"
Lexius patted Neuvillette on the shoulder and taught him earnestly.
He was afraid that Neuvillette would want to show off the difference between himself and others, which was against the way of seclusion.
Only when you are strong can you be truly powerful. The struggle for fame and fortune on the surface had nothing to do with the hidden family, just treat it as a joke.
Neuvillette nodded, his heart clear as a mirror. How could he not understand?
"Yeah, I understand!"
Lexius: "..."
He felt a bit disappointed. Neuvillette was too smart. He didn't have the sense of accomplishment of teaching his younger generation at all.
"Come on, test your innate soul power. Grandpa can sense that you have innate soul power in your body. As for what level, I'm not too sure."
He said this calmly and took out a test crystal. This test crystal was not a "cheap product" used by the deacons of Martial Soul Hall, but a high-end product that could test the soul power of the Soul King.
It looked larger than a regular test crystal, but it didn't function any differently.
As a peak Soul Douluo, he would be surprised if he couldn't see that Neuvillette had innate soul power in his body.
Neuvillette glanced at the crystal ball and put his right hand on it without hesitation.
Suddenly, he felt a pull on the crystal ball, which began to absorb his "soul power" and glow brightly.
Neuvillette looked at the crystal ball in confusion. He was a twin martial soul, a Water Dragon King Navelette, and an "artifact" Tome of Eternal Flow.
But the crystal ball was only less than half lit.
'I am a waste.'
'A waste with a congenital level below five?'
Lexius swallowed his saliva. He had thought that Neuvillette's innate soul power was not low, but he was wrong.
'It was incredibly high! It was an innate level 20!'
He had never seen or heard of such a thing.
'Wasn't the full innate soul power level ten?
What did Neuvillette's innate level 20 mean?'
"Old man, I am a congenital waste less than level five?" Neuvillette asked, feeling very confused.
Although the "soul power" in his body was not much, it was still quite a lot.
How could such a "huge" soul power be only at the third or fourth level of innateness? How powerful would it be to have full innate soul power?
Lexius's eyes twitched and he glanced at Neuvillette strangely.
'A waste with a congenital level below five?
If this word got out, countless soul masters would want to kill him.
How many soul masters in the entire Douluo Continent had innate soul power above level five?
Only a handful of soul masters could reach the fifth level of Innate soul power, and those above the fifth level were even rarer.'
Did this kid think that the crystal ball in my hand was for testing level 10 soul warriors?'
Lexius' mouth twitched again as he looked at the crystal ball in his hand.
'Innate level 20!'
He had picked up a peerless monster and brought him back. Even with his state of mind, he could not calm down for a long time.
Twin martial souls, innate level 20, either of these two qualifications, one in tens of millions, one in billions.
Two qualifications in one person, did Neuvillette have the potential to become a god?
'That ethereal thing, a god!'
He looked at Neuvillette with an even weirder expression.
'Was this the luck of my ancestors, or have I used up all the luck left by my ancestors to find such a grandson?'
Although the eight major families did not have a titled Douluo in charge, they were not simple. They were big forces that had been inherited for many years.
They knew some things that the "upstart" forces did not know.
Like the fact that gods were real. It was just that there had been no god in Douluo Continent for a long time.
"Little Neuv, this is not a test crystal to test the soul power of the soul warrior, but a test crystal to test the soul power below level 50."
"Your innate soul power is level 20."
Lexius said calmly, pretending not to be shocked.
"Level 20? That's it."
Neuvillette was thoughtful.
'Innate super soul power, level 20?'
'It was not unacceptable, but it felt a little low. Why were the "quality" of my two spirits only at level 20?'
He had thought that he was only level 3 or 4 and a waste. He had not expected that the test crystal that the old man had was different.
"Little Neuv, don't tell anyone about your innate soul power level easily. If someone asks you, just say that you are innate with full soul power. Remember, innate soul power is only level ten."
"If you can avoid fighting with others, try not to fight with others!"
Lexius was really worried. His grandson's talent was too terrifying. If it was exposed, he did not know if he could protect him!
"Tomorrow, grandpa will take you to hunt for soul rings. Go back and rest first...".
