Douluo Dalu: This Soul Master is to Weird

"What do you think? Dreams aren't this real."

Mu Yang said with a smile.

"Hmph~"

Pinching her arm, Shui Bing'er felt the pain and confirmed that she wasn't dreaming. Without a word, she wrapped her arms around Mu Yang's neck and planted her rosy lips on his face.

Shui Yue'er: "…"

Darn it, more public displays of affection!

After kissing him several times in a row, Shui Bing'er finally let go of Mu Yang.

"By the way, Mu Yang, will there be any side effects from my spirit power increasing so much?"

After calming down, Shui Bing'er began to worry, her expression a bit anxious.

She could feel that her spirit power had not only reached level 40 but also exceeded it. However, the portion beyond level 40 would only become apparent after obtaining her fourth spirit ring.

You don't always get something for nothing, and such a drastic increase in spirit power left her uneasy.

Kissing her lightly on the forehead, Mu Yang reassured her: "Don't worry. Yearning Heartbreak Red is an immortal herb, not an ordinary plant.

"If there are any side effects, it would only be that your control over your spirit power might temporarily weaken because of the sudden increase. Practice diligently for a while, and you'll adapt soon enough."

"Immortal herb?"

Shui Bing'er blinked, puzzled. It was her first time hearing this term.

Mu Yang nodded and explained, "It's normal that you've never heard of it. Immortal herbs are extremely rare, and few people on the continent know about them.

"Every immortal herb has extraordinary effects. Take the Yearning Heartbreak Red you consumed—it doesn't just enhance your spirit power. It also improves your body comprehensively, especially your talent and potential.

"Moreover, the medicinal energy of immortal herbs is vast, and lower-level spirit masters cannot fully absorb it. Much of the medicinal power remains dormant in your body and will be gradually released as you cultivate further. For a long time, your cultivation speed will surpass your expectations."

Pausing for a moment, Mu Yang added: "Do you know why both of my martial souls evolved and even awakened innate domains? It's because I consumed immortal herbs back then.

"Your Ice Phoenix is already a very powerful beast martial soul. Otherwise, it might have undergone evolution like mine. But even without a full transformation, your Ice Phoenix martial soul has undoubtedly become stronger."

Although Shui Bing'er hadn't released her martial soul, Mu Yang knew that her spirit power level and talent had undergone significant changes after consuming the Yearning Heartbreak Red. However, the change in her martial soul was relatively minor.

After all, her Ice Phoenix was already one of the pinnacle beast martial souls, much stronger than Mu Yang's original martial souls. Its base quality made it less likely to evolve further, though it could still improve.

"I see. No wonder my martial soul feels stronger."

Shui Bing'er's face lit up with understanding.

Martial souls are closely connected to their users, and when they grow stronger, it's something the spirit master can feel clearly.

At first, Shui Bing'er thought it was just her imagination due to her sudden power surge.

She hugged Mu Yang tightly, resting her chin on his shoulder, and said tenderly, "little Mu Yang, you're so good to me."

"Why are you calling me 'Little Mu Yang' again? Don't call me that."

Hearing "Little Mu Yang," his face immediately darkened.

"No, you'll always be my Little Mu Yang!"

Before he could reply, she whispered into his ear, "Little Mu Yang, hurry and grow up!"

"Cough, cough—"

Nearby, Shui Yue'er started coughing from being fed too much affection.

"Yue'er, what's wrong? Sore throat?" Mu Yang asked, turning to her.

"I'm still here! Don't you two care about how I feel?"

Rolling her eyes, Shui Yue'er said bitterly.

"Okay, I understand."

Shui Bing'er nodded.

"What's the use of understanding if you won't change?"

Shui Yue'er muttered softly, clearly dissatisfied.

Shui Bing'er: "…"

You figured it out, huh?

"Uh, Mu Yang, can we talk about something?"

With a sweet smile, Shui Yue'er clung to Mu Yang's arm, acting coquettishly.

This immortal herb not only boosts spirit power but also enhances talent and can even evolve martial souls. She wanted one too!

Raising his eyebrow, Mu Yang tilted his head and asked, "What did you call me?"

"Mu Yang… uh, Yue'er's dearest brother-in-law!"

Shui Yue'er quickly adapted, realizing what he wanted to hear.

Satisfied, Mu Yang nodded. "Not bad. Say it a few more times."

"Brother-in-law! Dearest brother-in-law! You're the best. Yue'er is begging you…"

Shui Yue'er pretended to look pitiful.

Mu Yang turned to Shui Bing'er: "What do you think?"

Seeing his smile, Shui Bing'er understood immediately. After thinking for a moment, she said, "The house hasn't been cleaned in a while. It's gotten dusty. How about you take care of it?"

Her words were directed at Shui Yue'er, though they sounded like they were for Mu Yang.

"Big Sis, we're family! You two sit down. I'll handle it!"

Shui Yue'er didn't hesitate to take the task upon herself.

Hearing this, Mu Yang continued, "By the way, Bing'er, hasn't your hand been hurting recently? It's not suitable for you to do the laundry yourself. Why don't I help you with it?"

Although he was speaking to Shui Bing'er, Mu Yang's gaze remained fixed on Shui Yue'er.

"Brother-in-law, you're a man. How can you do a girl's laundry? Yue'er will take care of it!"

Before Shui Bing'er could respond, Shui Yue'er had already taken on the task of doing the laundry.

"Bing'er, when do you think your hand will get better?"

"Well, without someone to serve tea, massage my shoulders, or knead my legs, it definitely won't get better anytime soon."

As she spoke, Shui Bing'er turned her gaze to Shui Yue'er.

"Sister, we're family! We're real sisters, aren't we?"

Shui Yue'er said with a pitiful expression.

"Haha, I'm just teasing you. Wait here!"

Seeing Shui Yue'er's bitter face, Mu Yang couldn't help but laugh. Then he returned to the room to fetch the Daffodil Jade flesh bone.

Compared to the Yearning Heartbreak Red, known as the "King of Flowers," the medicinal effects of the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone were undoubtedly weaker.

Even so, Shui Yue'er, who had originally reached level 23 When they met and was later a level 25 Grand Soul Master, instantly accumulated enough soul power to reach the peak of the second ring stage. Her level soared straight to a level 30 Soul Elder candidate.

It was clear that after consuming the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, Shui Yue'er's accumulated soul power didn't just stop at level 30. Similar to Shui Bing'er's situation, the soul power exceeding the next whole level remained dormant, waiting for her to obtain her third soul ring to manifest.

Beyond just enhancing soul power, the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone also nourished her muscles, strengthened her bones, and opened her eight extraordinary meridians. After consuming it, Shui Yue'er experienced a significant boost in talent and potential.

Although the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone couldn't match the power of the Yearning Heartbreak Red, it was still a rare immortal herb. Even without the latent medicinal energy enhancing her future cultivation, Shui Yue'er's cultivation speed moving forward would rival that of a naturally gifted soul master with innate full soul power.

Of course, the changes weren't limited to just her soul power and potential. Even her martial soul underwent notable improvements.

Perhaps due to the high compatibility with the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone and the fact that her martial soul wasn't originally a top-tier beast martial soul, Shui Yue'er's Glowing Jade Dolphin martial soul, though visually unchanged, had risen in quality to the level of a top-tier beast martial soul.

Now, the sisters' soul power levels stood at 40 and 30, respectively, marking the time for them to seek soul beasts and advance further.

Three days later, after adjusting to the rapid surge in soul power, Shui Yue'er departed with a vice dean of the academy, a Soul Sage of the seven-ring level, to hunt for a soul beast.

Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er didn't accompany her because Shui Yue'er's chosen hunting ground wasn't a forest on the mainland but the vast ocean.

Compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, the sea was far more dangerous, teeming with high-age sea soul beasts. Unless absolutely necessary, it was better for less experienced individuals to avoid the area to prevent unnecessary casualties.

Of course, while Shui Yue'er set out to hunt a soul beast and gain her third ring, Shui Bing'er did not.

After Shui Bing'er consumed the Yearning Heartbreak Red, Mu Yang passed down to her three cultivation techniques targeting essence, energy, and spirit: Sun Body Refining, Extreme Ice Meditation, and Lunar Spirit Refining.

However, three days were far from enough for Shui Bing'er to master all three techniques.

Even if she managed to begin practicing them, it wasn't sufficient. While Extreme Ice Meditation could be set aside for now as it didn't significantly impact obtaining her fourth soul ring, Sun Body Refining and Lunar Spirit Refining were different matters altogether.

At the very least, Shui Bing'er needed to cultivate Sun Body Refining to the threshold corresponding to her soul power level and enhance her spiritual power through Lunar Spirit Refining. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to attach a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring.

Enhancing spiritual power to withstand the residual soul remnants of a ten-thousand-year soul beast through Lunar Spirit Refining would take quite some time.

Fortunately, a soul master could still accumulate soul power through meditation without attaching a soul ring. Although the efficiency wasn't as high compared to post-advancement cultivation, gaining a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring was well worth the trade-off.

The energy contained within a ten-thousand-year soul ring far exceeded that of a thousand-year ring, resulting in a higher post-advancement soul power level.

The trade-off between slight delays in cultivation and the benefits of a stronger ring was a favorable exchange.

This scenario echoed a theory proposed by a certain Grandmaster: when a soul master's soul power reaches a whole number level, they can still cultivate normally without immediately obtaining a soul ring. The accumulated soul power will manifest once the ring is acquired.

Previously, Mu Yang had scoffed at this notion, wondering what fool would deliberately delay obtaining a soul ring, unaware that higher soul power levels yielded greater meditation efficiency in the same amount of time.

Unexpectedly, the absurd scenario had now occurred with his future wife.

A week later, Shui Yue'er returned from her soul hunt.

Thanks to the whale glue and the nourishing effects of the Daffodil Jade FleshBone, Shui Yue'er's third soul ring naturally exceeded its limit, reaching a remarkable 5,000 years—slightly higher than Shui Bing'er's third soul ring.

After attaching her third soul ring, Shui Yue'er's soul power level soared to 35th level, making her a Soul Elder.

Excluding the two levels of soul power granted by the 5,000-year soul ring, the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone alone had directly boosted her soul power level by about eight levels.

This advancement was remarkable. The soul power accumulated over these eight levels, coupled with breaking through the minor bottleneck from level 29 to 30, would have taken Shui Yue'er at least three years to achieve under her previous cultivation talent. The miraculous effects of the immortal herb were undeniable.

Time flew by, and a year passed.

At dusk, on the mountaintop of the main campus of Sky Water Academy, within the snow mountain mimicry cultivation field:

The mountain wind howled, and snowflakes danced in the air. Under a stone pavilion, Shui Bing'er, who had stopped cultivating earlier, rested her chin in her hands, her icy blue eyes unblinkingly fixed on Mu Yang, who was still meditating.

After a while, a surge of soul power fluctuations emanated from Mu Yang, and his soul power aura suddenly increased significantly before gradually stabilizing.

After a long pause, Mu Yang, who had just advanced to the 30th level as a quasi-Soul Elder, ended his meditation and opened his eyes.

"Bing'er, haven't you seen enough yet?"

Seeing Shui Bing'er staring at him without blinking, Mu Yang asked with a smile.

"No, I haven't."

Shui Bing'er shook her head.

They say one never tires of looking at someone they love, but Shui Bing'er felt that even if she looked a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, or countless times, she still wouldn't get enough.

It could be said that the "toxicity" of their martial soul fusion technique was deep, and the young girl in love was utterly captivated.

Of course, Mu Yang was no exception. Shui Bing'er was deeply "poisoned," and he was equally affected.

If not for his mature mindset and understanding that certain things shouldn't be rushed, he might have already caused trouble.

Although he had just turned ten, his physical development, influenced by his martial soul, soul rings, and body-refining techniques, far exceeded that of peers from his previous life. He wasn't incapable of creating a new life.

Take Ma Hongjun from the original story, for example—by the age of 12, he was already famous in certain circles.

"Since I've broken through, if you haven't seen enough, let's go home, and you can keep looking."

Mu Yang walked over and hugged Shui Bing'er.

"Hug me tighter~"

Shui Bing'er reminded him as icy blue soul power radiated from her body, and her Ice Phoenix martial soul activated. Yellow, yellow, purple, and black soul rings emerged around her.

Then, her ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring glowed brilliantly, and a pair of ice-blue phoenix wings condensed behind her. With a flap of her wings, she carried Mu Yang down the mountain.

Her fourth soul skill: Ice Phoenix Wings. It allowed her to manifest phoenix wings, granting flight while enhancing her speed and ice-attribute attacks by 150%.

Since acquiring this flying soul skill, her trips to the snow mountain mimicry cultivation field had become much more convenient.

With the flying skill, there was no need to use the mountain's stairways; she could directly ascend or descend with Mu Yang.

Half a year earlier, Shui Bing'er had raised her spiritual power to the level of an average 50th-level Soul King using the spiritual cultivation technique Mu Yang had taught her: "Lunar Spirit Refinement."

This rapid progress was thanks to her strong foundation at the 40th level and her Ice Phoenix martial soul, which, though not a spiritual-type soul, gave her a significant edge in spiritual strength compared to her peers.

Once her spiritual power met the standard, Shui Yan Yu, who had already returned to Sky Water Academy after the Soul Master Tournament, took Shui Bing'er and Mu Yang to the Extreme North. There, they found a ten-thousand-year Ice Luan soul beast as Shui Bing'er's fourth soul ring.

Upon advancing, Shui Bing'er's soul power reached 46th-level Soul Ancestor, astonishing Shui Yan Yu, who led the hunt.

However, in Mu Yang's eyes, her soul power level was well within expectations.

Before consuming the Yearning Heartbroken Red, Shui Bing'er's soul power was already at level 33. The herb, an extraordinary immortal treasure, had elevated her soul power by ten levels. This increase was based on the three-ring stage. As the four-ring stage required more soul power, her advancement was slightly reduced.

Even so, her actual soul power couldn't possibly be just 41st level.

A ten-thousand-year soul ring from a top-tier flying soul beast provided enough energy to boost her level by two. Combined with her dedicated cultivation over six months, her advancement to 46th level Soul Ancestor was reasonable.

Now, six months later, her soul power was nearing level 48.

No wonder the Shrek Seven Monsters, who consumed immortal herbs, far outpaced their contemporaries. It wasn't that other geniuses weren't talented; the immortal herb's effects were simply unparalleled.

Only someone like Qian Renxue, who inherited a clan legacy and started with innate level 20 soul power, could compare. Otherwise, no one could rival them.

Naturally, Shui Bing'er's impressive progress didn't mean Mu Yang lagged behind. In fact, if one compared the number of levels gained, Mu Yang had advanced even more. Over the past year, he had increased his soul power by a full five levels.

The next morning, Shui Yan Yu took Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er out of Sky Water Academy by carriage, heading southwest to Sunset Forest.

Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix martial soul was of the ice attribute, so her soul hunting ground was the Extreme North.

Mu Yang's Ice Fire Ginseng martial soul also had an ice attribute, but his optimal soul hunting grounds were Sunset Forest or Star Dou Forest.

However, considering his current soul power level, the nearby Sunset Forest sufficed. There was no need to travel far to the Star Dou Forest unless he couldn't find his desired soul beast in Sunset Forest.

"Xiao Yang, do you have any specific targets for your third soul ring?"

Inside the carriage, Shui Yan Yu asked Mu Yang.

"Beast-type: Detoxifying Golden Toad, Holy Light Beetle. Plant-type: Exorcism Golden Bamboo, Sacred Lotus... Any of these will do."

Mu Yang promptly listed over ten potential soul beasts.

For his third soul skill, Mu Yang had already planned to gain a soul power ginseng that could neutralize abnormal statuses.

As for Dugu Bo's request, that was secondary.

Truth be told, such a soul power food skill was highly practical. Like those that promote healing or restore vitality, this was a staple for any food-type Soul Master.

However, the placement of such a skill within the soul ring sequence couldn't be too high.

For those with average talent and limited future potential, this type of skill should be within the first two rings. For those with promising talent and greater prospects, this could be extended to the first four rings.

The reasoning was simple: While a higher-level soul skill might neutralize toxins more effectively, a lower-level one could achieve the same with quantity, differing only in efficiency.

However, for other types of soul food, such as those enhancing attributes by a percentage, the effects varied significantly with soul ring age. A ninth-ring ultimate skill could boost attributes by 50%, while a thousand-year skill might only provide 10%.

Thus, food-type Soul Masters ideally reserved early soul rings for skills where maximum effect wasn't heavily dependent on soul ring age.

"I see. Xiao Yang, you're aiming for a soul power food skill to neutralize abnormal statuses, right?"

After some thought, Shui Yan Yu grasped Mu Yang's intention.

As the headmaster of Sky Water Academy, Shui Yan Yu wasn't directly involved in classroom teaching, but she had a wealth of knowledge.

"What about the ring's age?"

She continued.

Shui Yan Yu was well aware of Mu Yang's soul ring configuration. His second ring was already at a thousand years, so the age limit for his third ring was likely much higher than usual—perhaps even surpassing Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's limits at the same stage.
