Douluo Dalu: This Soul Master is to Weird

That night, Mu Yang left the territory of Notting City under the cover of darkness.

Along the way, he stopped by Blazing Academy to visit his two elders, as well as his older cousin brother and sister. While there, he took the opportunity to gather a significant amount of 'Silver Flower,' a herb known for its soul-nourishing properties. Half a month later, Mu Yang returned to Skywater Academy.

"Bing'er, did you miss me?"

Pulling the girl, whose eyes seemed to glimmer like tiny stars, into his arms, Mu Yang asked softly.

"Mm, I did!"

Shui Bing'er nodded vigorously.

Which young girl in love wouldn't miss her beloved after being apart for such a long time?

Shui Bing'er countered with a question of her own, "And did you miss me?"

"Of course! I definitely missed you more than you missed me!"

Mu Yang responded without hesitation.

"Hmph, you sure know how to talk. I'll forgive you for taking so long to come back! But, what happened to your hair? Why is it so short now?"

Looking at the short stubble of hair growing on Mu Yang's head, Shui Bing'er asked curiously.

"Cough, cough~ Bing'er, don't mind such minor details. It'll grow back and look handsome in no time."

Although his appearance had suffered slightly due to his haircut, Mu Yang didn't mind.

Even if shaving his head for a disguise turned out unnecessary, it was worth it.

After all, his harvest this time was a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. To ensure no loose ends were left, losing hair was a trivial matter. Losing a leg, even, would have been acceptable.

The Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone could regenerate severed limbs, so sacrificing a leg temporarily wouldn't have been an issue.

Of course, sacrificing his "third leg" was out of the question.

Though it could also regenerate, the psychological impact would have been unbearable for Mu Yang.

After a sweet exchange filled with the flavor of youthful romance, Mu Yang returned to his room to refine the soul bone, while Shui Bing'er volunteered to stand guard for him.

"A hundred-thousand-year soul bone should boost my soul power significantly, right?"

Inside his bedroom, Mu Yang stared at the life-filled Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone inside the lead box and couldn't help but wonder.

In the original story, Tang San didn't experience a direct increase in soul power after refining the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone, but that was because every soul master's situation was different.

Tang San was unique; he cultivated the inner power technique Mysterious Heaven Skill, which differed greatly from Mu Yang's Iceflame Meditation Technique. If not for the special rules of the Douluo Continent, the two could be considered entirely different cultivation paths.

There was no doubt that soul bones contained immense energy, with older soul bones holding even more.

Energy follows the law of conservation. When the energy of a soul bone enters the body, it inevitably transforms the refiner.

Tang San didn't experience a soul power increase after refining the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone because the enormous energy was used to strengthen and transform his meridians rather than converting into soul power. It wasn't that a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone couldn't enhance soul power.

Taking out the soul bone, Mu Yang placed it against his right leg and began channeling his soul power to refine it.

"Buzz—"

A faint buzzing sound resonated as Mu Yang's right leg trembled slightly.

Immediately, a soft, cool sensation seeped into his leg from all directions. The crystalline Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone quietly disappeared, transforming into countless streams of blue-gold energy that wrapped around his leg.

Cool and soothing, without a trace of pain—completely different from the agony of attaching a soul ring—Mu Yang felt an indescribable comfort, as if he were a fetus growing safely in the warm embrace of his mother's womb.

Immersed in the gentle energy waves, Mu Yang noticed that his Iceflame soul power was not only steadily increasing but also becoming purer.

Clearly, the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone was no ordinary soul bone—it even purified his soul power.

Soon, the cool sensation in his right leg spread throughout his body.

The next moment, the sound of crackling bones echoed through the room. Strangely, throughout the entire process, Mu Yang didn't feel any pain.

Alongside the steady increase and refinement of his soul power, Mu Yang's physical body—already strong from consuming whale glue, practicing the body refinement technique Sun Refinement, and utilizing the Icefire Yin Yang Well to integrate two Immortal herbs—underwent further enhancements. This transformation continued steadily.

After some time, apart from the gentle energy waves emanating from refining the soul bone, the room gradually quieted, descending into silence.

"This blue leg bone, filled with life energy, is in perfect condition. Its age must be high—at least seventy or eighty thousand years. Once refined, Little Mu Yang will definitely grow faster!"

Watching Mu Yang refine the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone, Shui Bing'er mused to herself.

When would her Little Mu Yang finally grow up?

In Shui Bing'er's eyes, Mu Yang would be grown once he was taller than her by a noticeable amount and his soul power level was no weaker than hers.

As for it being a hundred-thousand-year soul bone? Shui Bing'er didn't even consider it.

A hundred-thousand-year soul bone could only drop from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast upon death, and such creatures were far stronger than ordinary Title Douluo. Acquiring one was no easy task.

It wasn't just a matter of having the strength to hunt one. Finding such a beast in the first place was a monumental challenge.

From what little she knew, the number of soul masters on the continent with hundred-thousand-year soul bones could likely be counted on one hand.

Time passed, and when Mu Yang finally opened his eyes, the morning sunlight filtered through the gauzy curtains into the room.

Suddenly, Mu Yang noticed something strange—a discomfort that made him frown.

Looking down, he saw that his skin was covered with a thin layer of dried gray residue, like an "armor" he had automatically donned after not bathing for a year.

"Body cleansing and meridian refinement?"

That was the first thought in Mu Yang's mind.

Hearing the soft sound of breathing, Mu Yang glanced at Shui Bing'er, who had been guarding him all night and had fallen asleep on the bed. Suppressing the urge to kiss her, he tiptoed out of the room and headed to the bathroom to wash up.

Thankfully, Skywater Academy was safe enough that Shui Bing'er didn't have to deal with any real threats during her watch.

In the bathroom, while washing himself, Mu Yang assessed the changes he'd undergone after refining the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone.

First, his soul power had increased significantly. After advancing to a three-ring Soul Elder and attaching a ten-thousand-year third soul ring, his soul power had been at rank 33. Now, it had jumped to rank 38, a massive increase of five levels.

Additionally, while his soul power level increased, Mu Yang could sense that his soul power had become noticeably purer.

This wasn't because the Iceflame Meditation Technique produced low-quality soul power. On the contrary, it cultivated soul power far superior to other soul masters of the same rank.

The high quality of his soul power, combined with its strong adhesive properties and the profound methods he practiced, formed the foundation of Mu Yang's ability to challenge opponents beyond his level.

But because his soul power level was still relatively low, even with the Iceflame Meditation Technique's mysteries and the excellent quality of his soul power, his capabilities were still somewhat limited.

In terms of pure energy, the soul power refined from his level as a three-ring Soul Elder couldn't possibly compare to the energy contained within a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.

As for physical constitution, there was no need for further elaboration—it was already one of his strong suits. Now, with this significant enhancement, when his soul power reaches level 40 and factoring in the progress of Sun Body Refinement, obtaining a thirty-thousand-year fourth soul ring should pose no problem.

Apart from these three notable improvements and the two hundred-thousand-year soul bone abilities he acquired, there were also several smaller changes. For instance, his skin became better, his physique looked more coordinated, and so on.

Additionally, Mu Yang could feel his vitality had grown more vigorous. Most likely, even without considering other contributing factors, just refining the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had significantly extended his lifespan.

After bathing, Mu Yang returned to the room and couldn't help but plant a kiss on the still-sleeping Shui Bing'er's face.

Perhaps sensing something, or maybe she had already been on the verge of waking, Shui Bing'er opened her eyes.

Realizing the warmth lingering on her face, a smile appeared on the young girl's lips. She clearly understood what had just happened. Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around Mu Yang's neck and returned the affection with a deeply passionate kiss.

A long while later, their lips parted.

"Bing'er, it's still early. Why don't you sleep a bit longer?" Mu Yang suggested.

Both of them were top-performing students. Whether it was Mu Yang or Shui Bing'er, neither had any critical classes to attend.

Moreover, compared to theoretical lessons, advanced soul master academies placed more emphasis on combat practice and the soul power levels of their students. Classes weren't mandatory, and students had significant freedom.

For soul masters, as long as they could read, understand how to meditate, and knew what type and level of soul rings to attach in the future, they were already considered qualified soul masters. It didn't matter if they were an academic genius or an underachiever—as long as they were strong enough, nothing else mattered.

"No, I've been cooped up in the room for almost two full days now; it's suffocating," Shui Bing'er shook her head.

Hearing this, Mu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly, a look of surprise appearing on his face. He had thought it was still just the second morning, but it turned out to be the third day.

It was fortunate soul masters weren't cultivators from the novels. Otherwise, closing themselves off for three, five years, or even longer, weren't they worried about developing hemorrhoids from sitting too long?

"By the way, what level is your soul power now? And how are the effects of the soul bone abilities?" Shui Bing'er asked Mu Yang.

With a slightly proud smile, Mu Yang replied, "I've gained five levels of soul power and am now at level 38 as a Soul Elder. As for the soul bone abilities, there are two—one for healing and the other for flying."

"Two soul bone abilities?" Shui Bing'er appeared puzzled for a moment. Then, as if realizing something, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim softly, "A hundred-thousand-year soul bone?"

To her knowledge, a single soul bone could only provide one ability. The only exception was the legendary hundred-thousand-year soul bones that could provide two abilities.

The blue right leg soul bone filled with life energy that Mu Yang had refined earlier turned out to be the hundred-thousand-year soul bone that countless soul masters on the continent dreamed of obtaining?!

"Exactly! But Bing'er, you must keep this a secret. The origin of this soul bone is somewhat problematic. Unless absolutely necessary, I'll only use the healing ability in the future," Mu Yang nodded and warned.

The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone could not see the light of day. Before he had fully grown and established himself, Mu Yang would not easily reveal it. Even if he did, he would never expose that it was a hundred-thousand-year soul bone with two abilities—unless his life was in danger.

"Got it!" Shui Bing'er quickly nodded with a serious expression.
