Chapter 562: In Star Luo, I Am a Star Luo Citizen; In Sun Moon, I Am a Sun Moon Citizen!
As soon as the words were spoken, the two of them felt their bodies become warm and comfortable.
Almost instantly, a pitch black hammer, exuding a powerful aura, materialized in their palms. The surface of the hammer was adorned with intricate patterns, looking ancient and solemn.
"The Clear Sky Hammer... It really is the Clear Sky Hammer!" Zhu Lu stared at this dreamlike scene, finding it hard to believe.
It was well known that the Clear Sky Hammer had once been revered as the strongest tool martial soul on the Douluo Continent, symbolizing ultimate strength and attack power.
In the present era, the Clear Sky Hammer was even more renowned for its attribute of absolute power.
Now that she possessed the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, combined with her original Netherworld Spirit Cat martial soul, she had officially become a twin martial soul wielder.
Even in Shrek Academy, where geniuses were abundant, those who had twin martial souls were extremely rare.
She turned to Cui Yajie with excitement and smiled. "Yajie, it looks like we made the right bet. From today onward, as long as we make full use of the Clear Sky Hammer, we will definitely be able to carry out our revenge plan."
Cui Yajie was equally overjoyed. "Lulu, you're right. However, we must strictly follow the twin martial soul cultivation method pioneered by Ancestor Tang San. First, we must add soul rings to the weaker first martial soul. Only after it has nine soul rings can we begin adding soul rings to the Clear Sky Hammer. If we don't follow this method, we will undoubtedly waste the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul that Ancestor Tang San has bestowed upon us."
According to Shrek Academy's historical records, the so called twin martial soul cultivation method had been invented by the wise and heroic Ancestor Tang San. In contrast, Bibi Dong, another twin martial soul wielder, had taken an unorthodox and sinister path to forcefully cultivate her martial souls, a method deemed unworthy of recognition.
Just as the two were basking in their excitement over obtaining the Clear Sky Hammer, a cold, emotionless male voice suddenly rang in their ears again.
"First Trial of the God of Asura: Soul Hunting. While your soul skills are sealed, you must independently hunt two hundred beings stronger than yourself within six months. Upon passing, your soul power will increase by five levels, your soul ring lifespan will extend by two thousand years, and your God of Asura affinity will increase by five percent."
Upon hearing this, both of them were utterly dumbfounded.
Zhu Lu doubted her own hearing. After all, divine trials were never simple. For a soul master, soul skills were crucial to their combat strength. Without them, one's power would be significantly diminished.
Under such conditions, how were they supposed to hunt two hundred beings stronger than themselves?
Moreover, had their soul skills truly been sealed?
Unwilling to believe it, Zhu Lu, already in martial soul possession state, attempted to use her soul skills. However, she quickly realized she had failed. Despite having abundant soul power within her body, she was completely unable to activate even a single soul skill.
"Yajie, my soul skills are all sealed," Zhu Lu said bitterly.
Cui Yajie also tried, only to find that her soul skills were similarly sealed.
Her face darkened, and she began to panic. "Lulu, how are we supposed to complete this so called first trial? Although the rewards are incredibly generous, this is undoubtedly a daunting challenge for us."
She didn't quite understand what God of Asura affinity meant, but she knew that the other rewards would greatly enhance their strength.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhu Lu said, "Yajie, we can try using soul tools to boost our combat ability and complete the trial. If necessary, we can just spend more money to buy soul tools produced by Mingde Hall. I believe that if Ancestor Tang San set this trial, he wouldn't have left us with no way to survive."
As a member of the Zhu family, Zhu Lu naturally lacked nothing in terms of wealth. Similarly, Cui Yajie, who had been close to Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, was also well off. Even though her family had been killed by evil soul masters, the money in the family's banking estate still belonged to her.
Cui Yajie's expression eased slightly.
At this moment, Zhu Lu continued, "Yajie, we can't stay in the Star Dou Forest any longer. Without our soul skills and without powerful soul tools, it's too dangerous to face the soul beasts that could emerge from anywhere.
"I have no intention of becoming a meal for those soul beasts. We'll deal with the soul tools after we return to Star Luo City."
"Alright," Cui Yajie nodded, and the two left the Star Dou Forest together.
Moments later, in the Divine Realm
Tang San observed as the divine trial participants all accepted the trials, a smile gradually forming on his face. Naturally, Zhu Lu and Cui Yajie weren't the only participants. However, since Zhu Lu was a member of the Zhu family, he paid special attention to her.
Although she harbored resentment toward the academy, as long as he used her well, she could still be a valuable pawn.
As for the content and structure of the God of Asura trials, they were naturally different from the Sea God's Nine Trials. There was an element of competition, like raising Gu worms only one person would ultimately inherit the divine position, no matter how many participants passed a trial.
Of course, Tang San had no intention of letting anyone else inherit his divine position. Initiating the God of Asura trials was merely part of his grand plan.
"Next, I should arrange for the evil soul masters to play their roles as villains."
For Tang San, this was not a difficult task. He planned to offer some benefits and exert pressure on certain evil soul masters, ensuring they would wholeheartedly follow his commands as their "Holy Emperor."
"Name?"
"Su Tong."
"Gender?"
"...Do you really need to ask that?"
"Of course. Some people disguise themselves as the opposite gender."
"...I'm a woman."
"Alright, and your soul power level?"
"Sixty eight, Soul Emperor."
"Good. What's your martial soul?"
"Ice Sky Snow Maiden."
"Ice Sky Snow Maiden? Isn't that an ultimate ice attribute martial soul?" The Spirit Transmitting Master widened his eyes in surprise, set down his pen, and looked at Su Tong with increasing excitement.
Recruiting a soul master with an ultimate ice martial soul into the Spirit Transmitting Tower would be a huge achievement one that would surely earn him great rewards from the Tower Master.
He had only been stationed in the Star Luo Empire to spread awareness of the Spirit Transmitting Tower and recruit suitable members. Yet, by sheer luck, he had stumbled upon a soul master with an ultimate ice martial soul. Was today his lucky day?
Su Tong, clad in a white robe and wearing a bamboo hat, exuded a unique aura. Her cool and indifferent voice rang out, "Any other questions?"
"This is standard procedure. We need to document your basic information. What is your nationality?"
Su Tong hesitated. She currently held Star Luo citizenship, making her a Star Luo citizen.
However, according to what this Spirit Transmitting Tower representative had mentioned earlier, joining the Tower would grant her Sun Moon citizenship. That would give her the opportunity to spar with that ultimate ice attribute soul master Huo Yuhao.
The four great empires of the Douluo Continent had no laws prohibiting their citizens from holding dual nationality. At the moment, she had no plans to renounce her Star Luo citizenship.
With a firm tone, Su Tong replied, "In Star Luo, I am a Star Luo citizen. In Sun Moon, I am a Sun Moon citizen!"
