"Oh, right, Lin Feng."
"What did you mean earlier when you said 'condensing a soul core'?"
Dugu Yan suddenly recalled Lin Feng's words and asked with curiosity.
"Soul core?"
"It's when your soul power is compressed from liquid form into a solid state. It settles within your dantian," Lin Feng explained, searching his mind for the right words. "Once formed, the soul core spins continuously, absorbing soul power from the environment and supplying it to the soul master. Whether in combat or recovery, it's vastly superior to traditional cultivation."
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"Can I condense one too?" Dugu Yan looked at Lin Feng with admiration in her eyes.
Her man had created something groundbreaking once again.
Even the usually bashful Ye Lingling was now staring at Lin Feng with newfound intensity and awe.
"Uh... that's usually something only Titled Douluo can achieve."
"Oh…" Dugu Yan deflated instantly at Lin Feng's answer.
If that was the case, the gap between her and Lin Feng had grown even wider.
"But don't worry—we can teach this technique to Grandpa Dugu."
Seeing her disappointment, Lin Feng quickly stepped in to comfort her.
"Really?! Thank you, Lin Feng!"
"If there's nothing else, you two should head back to class for now."
"I'll stay behind and refine my soul core a bit more. I'll join you later."
Lin Feng urged them away quickly, wanting to handle something privately—specifically, the matter of his newly obtained Twin Martial Souls.
Only after the girls had left did he proceed.
"System, replace the Twin Martial Souls with Fire Crystal."
[Ding! Replacement successful.]
As the system's chime echoed in his mind, Lin Feng instantly felt a familiar surge of soul power coursing through him.
"Second Martial Soul—Possession! Flaming Sun Three-Headed Serpent!"
A massive, fire-enshrouded three-headed serpent manifested behind Lin Feng once more.
But this time, empowered by his current Soul King-level strength, the flames burned fiercer, the illusion larger and more defined than when he had first awakened it at age five.
Seeing the familiar form brought a smile to Lin Feng's face.
At last, he had become the third person on the continent to possess Twin Martial Souls.
He began testing transitions between the Flaming Sun Three-Headed Serpent and the Fire Dragon King.
"Martial Soul Possession—Fire Dragon King!"
At Lin Feng's mental command, a blazing fire dragon instantly fused with his body, its horn even scraping the ceiling overhead.
He spread his arms, revealing clawed dragon talons at his fingertips.
"Martial Soul Possession—Flaming Sun Three-Headed Serpent!"
In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng's form shifted again—this time into a towering two-meter-tall serpent hybrid, with three fiery serpent heads and a massive coiling tail.
As soul power surged through his hands, the serpent body moved in rhythm.
Under his control, the dragon and serpent forms shifted back and forth nearly seamlessly.
As expected.
The Twin Martial Souls trait hadn't just copied Bibi Dong's ability to possess two spirits simultaneously—it had also perfectly duplicated the seamless switching and high fusion compatibility between them.
If he had copied this from Tang San instead, it wouldn't have been possible.
Tang San's twin spirits could only be used one at a time. He had to retract one martial soul before releasing the other. Early on, he even needed external help—like soul bones and eventually the Sea God's Light—to resolve the inherent soul power rejection between them.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction. He withdrew his martial souls and sat back down, focusing on stabilizing his newly formed soul core.

Meanwhile, news of a fire-type Titled Douluo appearing at Spirit Hall quickly spread across the continent.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's council hall—
"Uncle Jian, a servant just reported that a fire-attribute Titled Douluo appeared over Spirit Hall today."
"It's said that a fireball large enough to blot out the sky was conjured above the temple—an oppressive aura like apocalypse itself."
"Uncle Jian, could you do something like that?"
Ning Fengzhi's brow furrowed deeply. The news had left him shaken.
"No, I couldn't. But Clan Master, there's no need to worry too much."
"Judging by that display, this person likely possesses power on par with Qian Daoliu, a Limit Douluo."
"Barring any extraordinary circumstances, such individuals typically avoid meddling in mundane affairs."
Sword Douluo also frowned but still gestured for Ning Fengzhi to remain calm.
"Uncle Jian, Spirit Hall has already issued a command banning all its branches from investigating this Titled Douluo."
"Could this imply hidden intentions? Perhaps they're trying to recruit him under the guise of maintaining secrecy."
"Do you think we might have a chance to investigate discreetly—beat them to it?"
Ning Fengzhi's eyes burned with ambition.
As the two discussed the situation—
"Grandpa Jian!"
A sweet, clear voice called out.
A lovely young girl with innocent features bounded into the room.
"Grandpa Jian, will you come play with me?"
"I've been looking everywhere for you!"
"Oh? So it's my little princess, Rongrong!"
"Of course I'll come!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin immediately scooped up Ning Rongrong in his arms, smiling warmly as they walked out together.
