Chapter 2 Twin Martial Souls! The Bodyguard's Choice!
Surprisingly, the first one is Yuan En Ye Hui's Fallen Angel Martial Soul.
"It's not the original version, no wonder it's ranked number one."
Gu An's gaze fell on the icon of the martial spirit, and his pupils dilated slightly.
A twelve-winged Fallen Angel Martial Soul, with almost ten of its wings being pure black.
The remaining two wings, with their edges tinged with a very faint gold, possessed a completely different sense of holiness.
Depravity prevails, but divinity also exists.
Below the icon floats a line of small text: "Contaminated with the power of the abyss's origin and divine power, resulting in unknown mutations."
Is there even a need to choose?
Gu An immediately locked onto this martial soul in his mind.
His gaze shifted downwards.
The second-ranked spirit is neither the Golden Dragon King nor the Silver Dragon King.
It was a flute.
Gu An was stunned for a moment.
A flute?
He took another look and confirmed that he hadn't misread it.
The icon depicts a pure white flute with golden patterns entwined at both ends, and faint phantom images of dragons and phoenixes flowing across its body.
What could possibly make a flute rank second?
Gu An was about to click to view the detailed description when he suddenly heard his mother's voice.
"Xiao An? Xiao An!"
Gu's mother's tone was clearly anxious.
Gu An focused his mind and, without further hesitation, selected both the first and second martial souls.
The rankings speak for themselves.
Moreover, his mother's martial spirit was also a flute, a magic flute.
He is currently awakening his martial soul; he can't have inherited neither of his parents' martial souls.
Twin martial souls are powerful in Douluo Continent I, but only so-so in Douluo Continent II.
The real challenge comes later; my own situation is relatively ordinary.
Trying to calm himself down, he decided to come back to his senses.
As for the choice of bodyguards, we'll see after the martial spirit is fully awakened.
Gu An opened his eyes, and the light of the six-pointed star array beneath his feet was slowly receding.
Gu's mother stood in front of him, bent over, her hands clenched together, her knuckles white, her eyes full of worry.
Gu An looked at her and spoke.
"Mother, my martial soul is the same as yours, it's a flute."
Upon hearing this, Gu's mother visibly relaxed her shoulders.
Although his own martial spirit was not weak, it was not strong enough to take revenge.
Awakening a martial soul just like hers meant that her son wouldn't walk down that dangerous, life-threatening path.
She knelt down and pulled Gu An into her arms, tears finally streaming down her face.
"It's good that you're safe, it's good that you're safe."
"It wasn't in vain that I gave you this name."
"My son and I will live a good life, just fine."
Her voice trembled, and warm tears fell onto Gu An's neck.
Gu An felt the warmth of his mother's embrace and the slight trembling of her body from crying.
He sighed inwardly.
In this world, you can't just settle down whenever you want.
Douyu II not only has Shrek Academy, that troublemaker, but also those truly ruthless evil spirit masters.
Can one live a peaceful life hiding in this small village?
impossible.
Strength is the only thing that gives me peace of mind.
Gu An raised his hand and patted his mother's back gently, like a little adult.
"Mom, my martial spirit is a flute, but it seems a little different from yours."
As he spoke, he revealed his martial spirit.
Mother Gu was taken aback, loosened her embrace, and looked down.
A flute appeared in Gu An's small hand.
They are definitely different.
Gu's mother's pupils suddenly contracted.
Her own martial spirit is the Magic Flute, which is entirely black with only a few simple patterns.
The flute in Gu An's hand was as white as jade, with lifelike and exquisite images of dragons and phoenixes swirling around its body.
She only glanced at it, but she felt her mind was drawn in and wanted to keep staring at it.
After watching for a few seconds, my eyes started to feel sore and swollen, even a little uncomfortable, and a strange sense of irritation welled up in my mind.
Gu's mother quickly looked away.
She was a Soul Master, and although she was injured, she still had basic eyesight.
This is a mutated martial soul.
Moreover, it's far, far stronger than her martial soul; they're not even in the same league.
Gu's mother stood there, her mouth slightly open and her eyes wide open.
Gu An tilted his head, looking at his mother's expression, and almost thought she had gone mad.
He spoke again.
"Mom, I think I have another martial spirit."
You can't tell anyone else, but you can tell your mother.
Gu An has felt his mother's love since he was a child; there's no need to hide that kind of unconditional devotion.
Gu's mother stiffly turned her neck to look at Gu An's other hand.
An angelic martial spirit appeared in that small hand.
Twelve wings unfolded, ten of which were pitch black, while the other two shimmered with a faint golden light.
Two distinctly different auras, sacred and corrupt, coexist, intertwined and entangled.
Gu's mother couldn't understand what this martial spirit was exactly.
But she could tell at a glance that this martial spirit was extremely powerful.
The overwhelming sense of oppression made even this former Soul Emperor feel breathless.
She looked at Gu An's face again.
Her bright eyes were still the same as before, clean and clear, with a calmness that seemed out of place for her age.
He hasn't changed at all; he's still the child I've watched grow up since he was little.
But these two martial spirits.
Large tears rolled down Gu's mother's cheeks one after another.
She suddenly hugged Gu An tightly and burst into tears.
"It's Mom's fault for letting you down!"
"It's because Mom is incompetent!"
"Mom doesn't want you to suffer so much!"
"It's all Mom's fault!"
Gu An's nose tingled, and her eyes reddened.
He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled, trying to keep his voice calm.
"Mom is fine. Strength is paramount."
"The only way I can protect you is to become stronger."
"I will get my revenge."
Gu's mother didn't say anything, but cried even louder.
She buried her face in Gu An's small shoulder, her sobs muffled in her throat, her whole body trembling.
After a long time, Gu's mother cried herself to sleep.
She was already injured and weak, and after the emotional rollercoaster, she completely collapsed.
Gu An helped her to the bed, made her lie down, and then pulled the blanket over her.
Gu's mother's eyes were red and swollen. She held onto Gu An's hand tightly and refused to let go. In the end, she fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.
Gu An stood by the bed, looking down at his mother's sleeping face, which was still streaked with tears.
He gently withdrew his hand, walked to the other side of the room, and sat down cross-legged.
Now it's time to take a good look at Douluo Star, which comes from the Legend of the Dragon King.
His consciousness sank back into his body, where the gray-white planet still floated quietly.
Gu An muttered to himself.
"I wonder if there's still a chance to steal Huo Yuhao's cheat code."
After all, they'll be enemies from now on.
He didn't think he could change Huo Yuhao.
He's not as good at training dogs as Tang San.
After thinking for a moment, Gu An sighed again.
He thought of another ability left behind by Douluo Star's consciousness before it went into slumber: the ability to choose a Douluo III powerhouse as a bodyguard.
My mother's abilities are practically nonexistent now; this family really needs someone who can fight.
Similar to the list of martial spirits, bodyguards are also ranked and categorized.
Gu An's gaze skipped over all the Shrek Academy options.
The consciousness of Douluo Star did not clearly explain what was going on with these bodyguards.
It would be hilarious if someone who chose Shrek Academy not only didn't help fight, but also betrayed them instead.
Evil spirit masters are out of the question; there's no need to even think about them.
After a series of screenings, his gaze settled on one name.
The Spirit Pagoda, Leng Yaozhu.
She is powerful, female, not from Shrek Academy, and not an evil spirit master.
Gu An's finger touched down in his mind.
A semi-transparent panel immediately appeared in front of me, with two options on it.
Option 1: Leng Yaozhu, who possesses all her original memories.
Option 2: The completely loyal Leng Yaozhu.
Gu An felt a slight ache in his teeth when he saw these two options.
He regretted it.
If I had known it would be like this, I would have chosen Yunming.
That guy is the strongest.
Forget it.
Gu An clicked on option two.
Leng Yaozhu is also great; the older sister is the best—she's beautiful and capable.
The panel disappeared.
A beam of light shone in front of Gu An, and when the light faded, a woman stood there.
She was tall and slender with a curvaceous figure, long hair that fell to her waist, and exquisitely beautiful features.
As expected of the most beautiful woman in the Spirit Pagoda, she is indeed beautiful.
Gu An made his own assessment in his mind.
Leng Yaozhu lowered her head, looked at Gu An, then raised her hand, clenched her fist, and looked down at her own body.
"Is this the Douluo Continent from ten thousand years ago?"
She spoke, her voice cool and detached, carrying a hint of scrutiny.
Gu An was taken aback.
Wasn't it supposed to be the kind where you have no memory of it?
Why does it feel like she knows everything?
Leng Yaozhu seemed to have seen through his thoughts and turned her head slightly.
"I have all my normal memories and abilities."
"But there is no emotion for the people in my memory."
"Completely loyal to you."
After she finished speaking, she placed one hand on her chest, bowed slightly, and performed a standard curtsy.
Gu An looked at her, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.
