Du Busu sat directly behind Yuwen Tuo.
The other ten Titled Douluo formed a large circle, encircling Yuwen Tuo.
At Du Busu's command, the eleven individuals simultaneously exerted their strength, injecting their Soul Power. Yuwen Tuo's grand Secondary Awakening formation instantly surged by more than ten times its original power.
The Xuanyuan Sword Spirit hovered in the air, spinning frantically, its sword intent growing ever sharper.
That first Soul Ring, initially black with traces of red, gradually shed its deep black hue, transforming into a pure, vibrant crimson.
This was one of the marvelous benefits of a Body Soul Secondary Awakening: not only could it enhance the quality of the Martial Soul, but it could also strengthen the associated Soul Rings.
Not to mention, this Soul Ring was an Origin Soul Ring, inherently strengthening itself as Yuwen Tuo grew more powerful.
The two factors superimposed, finally completing their transformation and ascending to the 100,000-year tier.
Although it was currently not as potent as his two subsequent ones, its potential was far greater.
Among the elders, many were seeing Yuwen Tuo's second Martial Soul's Soul Rings for the first time. The three blood-red Soul Rings cast a crimson glow upon their faces.
"Three 100,000-year Soul Rings! How did Tuo'er achieve this? This is simply a miracle."
They all knew that Yuwen Tuo's three Soul Rings were completely different from Huo Yuhao's deceptive display; these were genuine 100,000-year Soul Rings, perhaps even exceeding 100,000 years. After all, whose 100,000-year Soul Rings had so many golden patterns on them?
Du Busu let out a hearty laugh. "Haha, I told you, Tuo'er is the future hope of our Body Sect! Elders, please gather all your Soul Power and push the power of Tuo'er's Secondary Awakening formation to its absolute limit! Even if I have to use my own Seed of the Body Inheritance today, we will complete Tuo'er's further awakening!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
All eleven Titled Douluo worked in concert, activating the Secondary Awakening Secret Art contained within the Secret of the Body.
Although Yuwen Tuo was fully immersed in his cultivation, he could still feel the assistance from the Sect Master and the elders outside. He thought to himself, "Thank you, Sect Master, and esteemed elders. I, Yuwen Tuo, will not disappoint you."
"Xuanyuan Sword, my soul, please awaken for me once more!"
The moment his silent plea ended, the silver light on the Xuanyuan Sword's blade abruptly receded. The next instant, waves of golden radiance shot towards the sky.
Just as this light was about to pierce the Divine Realm, a purple glow suddenly emanated from Yuwen Tuo. That radiance, like a protective barrier, enveloped and intercepted the golden light flying towards the sky, thus preventing it from drawing the Divine Realm's attention.
This was the assistance that Destruction God Little Zi had provided Yuwen Tuo in the past; he had long anticipated that Yuwen Tuo would have such a day.
Therefore, when Yuwen Tuo's potential erupted to a degree that could draw the Divine Realm's attention, the power Little Zi had left on him would conceal his aura, allowing him to grow safely and undisturbed.
Once Yuwen Tuo cultivated to the Soul Emperor or Soul Sage stage and retrieved that inheritance, even if Tang San discovered him then, it wouldn't be easy for Tang San to act against him.
"Body Soul Secondary Awakening, Gold-tier!" Long Aotian murmured as he gazed at the golden light.
Yuwen Tuo had actually accomplished an unprecedented feat: a Secondary Awakening starting at the Gold-tier.
This was an achievement typically only possible for those who had reached Silver Awakening when they broke through Rank 90, yet he had effortlessly achieved it at the Soul King stage.
The Xuanyuan Sword Spirit, it seemed, was truly the Martial Soul with the strongest potential in the current era.
The golden radiance persisted for a full half an hour before gradually dissipating. The disciples of the Body Sect gathered before the Body Sect Tower, waiting in silence.
A short while later, the great doors of the Body Sect Tower slowly opened.
Du Busu emerged from within, accompanied by the ten elders. Following closely behind them were Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Xiao.
The sect disciples, led by Long Aotian and Vina, gathered together.
Vina looked at Yuwen Tuo expectantly and asked, "Junior Brother... did you succeed?"
Yuwen Tuo smiled faintly and successively released his two Martial Souls.
The Xuanyuan Sword Spirit's aura of sharpness was clearly more than three times stronger; this was the might of Gold-tier Awakening.
Originally, the power of his Xuanyuan Sword Spirit already far surpassed that of a Super Martial Soul.
Now, even if a Soul Sage activated their Martial Soul True Body and clashed with Yuwen Tuo, Yuwen Tuo was confident that by activating his Gold-tier Awakening state, he could shatter his opponent's Martial Soul True Body and then cleave them in two.
Relying on the Xuanyuan Sword Spirit's ability, Yuwen Tuo did not reveal his Soul Rings. He worried about startling or even discouraging his senior and junior disciples, as his Soul Ring configuration was simply too astonishing.
Of course, while Gold-tier Awakening was powerful, it couldn't be used carelessly. That ability consumed life force! He would have to wait until he achieved Diamond Fourth Awakening for it to become a regular skill.
Next was his second Martial Soul, Fire Elephant Power.
While the Martial Soul itself showed no changes, its Soul Rings transformed from one yellow, one purple, and three black to five black. The first black Soul Ring was relatively light in color, likely having just reached the 10,000-year mark. In other words, all of his Fire Elephant Power Soul Rings had increased by approximately 10,000 years.
"Junior Brother, your Gold-tier Awakening has definitely succeeded, but what's with this fire element? It shouldn't be a Body Martial Soul, right?" Vina asked.
Yuwen Tuo shook his head. "No, it's not."
"Then why..." Vina looked enviously at Du Busu and Yun Yi. "Sect Master, Master, are you playing favorites? Why is it that when my Body Martial Soul underwent Secondary Awakening, my Snow Lotus, because it wasn't a Body Martial Soul, received no enhancement whatsoever, yet Junior Brother Yuwen's fire element received a boost? You must be holding out on me."
It was the first time she had looked at the two of them with such resentment. There was no helping it; it's not scarcity that causes trouble, but unequal distribution.
Both possessed Twin Martial Souls, but the disparity was simply too great.
"Alright, Tuo'er's fire element Martial Soul received an enhancement not because of us, but due to his own reasons," Yun Yi explained. "This old woman originally thought that your fire element Martial Soul was inherited from the Xu family's Sun in the Sun Moon Empire,
just an incomplete inheritance that became a fire element. But now it seems that's not the case. Your fire element Martial Soul should have also been born from your soul's origin, correct?"
Yuwen Tuo nodded. "Precisely. Actually, the true name of this Martial Soul isn't 'fire element,' but 'Fire Elephant.' In the cultivation method my master taught me, Fire Elephant is one of the Five Elements Arcane Arts, exquisitely pure and utterly dominant. It's just that after this Martial Soul awakened,
it doesn't constantly connect with my Spiritual Sea like the Xuanyuan Sword Spirit does; it's no different from a conventional Martial Soul. Therefore, it doesn't fall under the Body Martial Soul category. However, since it was born from my soul, it still received some benefit, and its Soul Rings were slightly enhanced."
"Good heavens, lad! To have two such powerful Martial Souls born from your soul, you truly are an unparalleled little monster!" Du Busu exclaimed. "But wait, something's not right. If that's the case, you should logically have at least three Martial Souls, right? After all,
your bloodline comes from both the Sun Moon Imperial Family and the Star Luo Imperial Family. What about the Martial Souls from those bloodline inheritances?" Du Busu asked. "You brat, don't tell me you're still hiding something from us? Could you be a Triple Martial Soul user?"
Yuwen Tuo chuckled. "How could that be? Besides, Sect Master, if I were to hide something, wouldn't I hide the stronger one? I've already told you everything about the Xuanyuan Sword Spirit without reservation, why would I hide such weak Martial Souls?
After the Gold-tier Awakening, my fusion with the Xuanyuan Sword Spirit became even tighter. I can sense the Xuanyuan Sword Spirit's feelings. Those Martial Souls born from my bloodline were severed by it; it didn't want to coexist with such weak Martial Souls!"
