Chapter 3 4 plus 5 equals 9
With a weight lifted from his heart, Long You was no longer anxious. He continued to investigate the changes that the awakening ceremony had brought him, while silently waiting for it to completely end.
And so, the morning slowly passed. The moment the ancestral hall doors opened, the parents who had been waiting outside all morning rushed forward to take their children home.
Some parents couldn't wait to ask about the results of their martial soul awakening; some children, perhaps because the results of their martial soul awakening met their expectations, directly displayed their martial souls.
Of course, some parents and children were relatively calmer and did not communicate in such a noisy environment. For example, the Longyou family.
After moving a little further away from the hustle and bustle of the ancestral hall, the brothers Long Ye and Long Lei, who had been walking side by side, stopped in unison. Long Ye patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said:
"That brat is quite lucky. Xiao You has awakened a benignly mutated twin martial soul, with an innate soul power of level nine. After more than a hundred years, our Long family finally has the possibility of producing a titled Douluo powerhouse again."
"Brother, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Long Lei clearly couldn't immediately believe the good news that Long Ye conveyed. After all, although the Long family was a Soul Master family with a history of tens of thousands of years, the quality of their inherited Martial Soul was quite ordinary.
It's rare to see someone with innate soul power level exceeding six under normal circumstances. The sudden appearance of a young genius with innate soul power level nine certainly requires some time to process.
"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about! Your brother is now the head of a clan, and we're doing this in front of your sister-in-law. Do you think your brother would joke about something like this?"
"Haha, that's great!"
Despite being slapped again by his older brother, Long Lei had no time to dwell on it. Long You's unexpected talent was what his father, who had spent so much time in the military, was most concerned about. And the outward manifestation of this excited attention was…
"Smack!" A large, warm hand, carrying a chilling wind, slammed heavily onto Long You's shoulder. Immediately afterward, Long Lei's voice, clearly tinged with laughter and smugness, rang out from just above Long You's head.
"You're a good kid, you haven't let your mom and me down. Oh dear, we'd better find a suitable meditation method from your uncle today, because your mom and dad will be counting on you in the future."
"Snap!" X2
"What are you doing! You're so rough! You've hurt Xiaoyou (our son)."
Because he was still thinking about something and his concentration wasn't quite there, Long You was slapped by his father and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Long Lei then received a mixed doubles punishment.
Because both Long Ye and Ms. Zeng Xianjun slapped Long Lei on either side of his shoulders, Long Lei wasn't in danger of falling to the side. However, under the double pressure, he was still destined to be shorter.
"Heh, unreliable dad, you've been suppressed, haven't you! And you said you didn't let down your and mom's talents? Is it because you and mom have innate soul power level four and level five respectively, totaling level nine, that you're not letting down your talents?"
Considering that they were currently in the common area of the family's main residence, and that Long Ye was, after all, the head of the Long family, the operation to suppress Long You's father did not last long before Long Ye turned and headed towards his own residence.
Back in the clan chief's private courtyard, Longyou's aunt had already prepared a sumptuous lunch. After some casual conversation, she naturally expressed her expectations for Longyou.
The Long family doesn't have any rules about not speaking while eating or sleeping, so the conversation at the dinner table naturally revolved around Long You's martial spirit.
"Xiao You, tell us about your martial soul."
Having endured the journey, Long You's mother, Zeng Xianjun, couldn't wait to see her son's martial spirit.
There's not much to say. Although the food on the table is very tempting, satisfying Mom's curiosity is the most important thing right now. Releasing his Martial Soul, Long You explained and organized his understanding of Martial Souls.
"Just like my uncle said, my martial soul is a dual martial soul in one body. The glasses on my face are the Insight Glasses, and the book in my hand is called the Book of Witness."
Since there are no spirit rings, the effects of spirit skills are not relevant. What I am talking about now are the effects inherent in the spirit itself.
First, let's talk about the Insight Glasses. These glasses can automatically analyze targets I've locked onto, provided I input soul power. These targets can be physical objects, soul skills, martial souls, or even the soul master themselves.
Of course, this kind of analysis has limitations. Take soul skills as an example; the level of a soul skill that the Insight Glasses can analyze cannot exceed two major levels above my own cultivation level.
In other words, in my current state as a Soul Master who has not yet obtained a Soul Ring, I can only analyze the Soul Skills of Soul Masters and Great Soul Masters at most, as well as the Martial Soul and the Soul Master himself.
In fact, the reason for this limitation is essentially due to my insufficient soul power.
On my way back, I tried to use my analysis skill on my dad. However, the information from my Insight Glasses indicated that if I tried to force it, I would immediately fall into a coma due to exhaustion of my soul power.
Of course, the coma is just a symptom; whether there are any other aftereffects can only be accurately determined after testing. However, if the person is only a Soul Master who has just entered the Soul Master level, it shouldn't be too serious.
"Yes, we still need to get this right. Let's wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll find a Soul Venerable level member in the clan for you to try it out."
Long You began to introduce the Martial Soul, which naturally delayed the lunch meal.
Upon hearing that Long You could not determine the aftereffects, Long You's uncle, Long Ye, immediately said that he would use his official power for personal gain the next day to find out the possible aftereffects.
"Continue, Xiao You. What's the content of the analysis? Is it recorded in the Book of Witness in your hand?"
“That’s right, that’s exactly it. The content analyzed by the Insight Glasses will automatically appear in the Book of Witness. If I don’t want this content anymore, I can directly communicate with the Book of Witness to delete the record.”
"Hmm, this does resemble my Book of Records!"
"A different kind of dad. The Book of Witness is called Witness because it has an additional ability to deduce and interpret compared to the Book of Records. I can further optimize and deduce everything recorded in the Book of Witness by consuming soul power."
For example, if I use the analytical ability of the Insight Glasses to analyze the braised pork my aunt made and record it, I can use my soul power to have the Book of Witness deduce and witness it, and finally obtain a more perfect braised pork recipe.
However, this kind of witness deduction is not without limitations; only content that has undergone insightful analysis can be used for witness deduction. Content that is forcibly recorded cannot be deduced.
"Can it still be forcibly recorded?"
"Well, this is similar to your Book of Records, Dad. In my current state where I don't have a single spirit ring, I can only record the spirit skills of a white ten-year spirit ring at most."
However, forcibly recorded soul skills have several drawbacks: firstly, their effects are weaker when used; secondly, they consume significantly more soul power compared to soul skills recorded after analysis; and thirdly, there is a limit to the number of such skills that can be used.
