Chapter 35: Is This Really Edible?
After figuring things out, Davis couldn't help but smile slightly. In his heart, he was genuinely pleased—he had really found a treasure this time.
Then Davis began explaining to Anna what a martial spirit was, and how to become a soul master.
"Nana, I'm going to teach you how to become a soul master. You need to listen carefully, alright?"
"Yeah!" Anna nodded seriously, her full attention on him.
"To become a soul master, you first need to understand the classification of martial spirits. On the continent, martial spirits are divided into two main types: beast martial spirits and weapon martial spirits.
Beast spirits usually fuse with the user's body to achieve a state of unity between person and spirit. This transformation greatly increases the user's power and is called spirit possession."
As he finished explaining, Davis activated his martial spirit.
His body instantly expanded, transforming into the form of a tiger-man.
"My Evil-Eyed White Tiger is a beast martial spirit. When I activate it like this, it boosts my strength and speed immensely. I can fight ten men alone!"
He picked up a fist-sized stone, gripped it tightly, and—crack!—shattered it into pieces with a single squeeze.
"See? This is the power of a martial spirit!"
Anna asked curiously, "I understand, Brother Davis… but what about weapon martial spirits?"
"Weapon martial spirits don't merge with the body. Instead, they work externally. Their types are far more diverse than beast spirits. For example: sickles, hammers, stones, shields—all are considered weapon spirits.
They are typically more support-oriented than beast spirits. Some are even food-type, like cakes or steamed buns, which can be eaten and provide recovery. Plant-type spirits are also classified as weapon martial spirits."
He looked at Anna seriously and continued,
"Nana, your Hundred Herbs martial spirit is a plant-type weapon spirit."
Anna blinked, "Weapon spirits are mostly supportive… so Brother Davis, does that mean I should be an auxiliary-type soul master?"
Davis shook his head.
"Not necessarily. Weapon spirits can also be used offensively. Take the scythe or sword, for example—they're weapons, so of course they're used in battle.
As for your path, I recommend you focus on becoming a control-type soul master."
"Control type?"
"That's right. There are many soul master roles: power attack, agility attack, control, defense, food, support, healing, and so on.
Your Hundred Herbs martial spirit… I haven't seen it provide any strong support functions yet. On the contrary, it seems able to manipulate and control various plants. That's a trait unique to control types.
More importantly, in one-on-one combat, control-type soul masters are often the strongest. Auxiliary types usually don't have much combat ability and must rely on others for protection.
Nana, I want you to gain the ability to protect yourself. That's why I won't recommend you become an auxiliary type."
"I understand, Brother Davis! I'll work hard and become a powerful control-type soul master!"
"Good girl! I believe in you." Davis smiled and ruffled her soft hair.
"Brother, what should I do next?"
"Well…" Davis considered starting her with physical training, but after seeing her thin arms and legs, he shook his head slightly. She's too weak right now. If she starts training, she might collapse…
With that in mind, Davis took out the advanced meditation technique used by the Star Luo royal family, handed it to Anna, and smiled.
"Nana, this is the meditation technique I practice. For now, focus on meditating in the courtyard, alright?"
Davis's courtyard was filled with flowers and plants—an ideal environment for plant-type spirit users to cultivate.
"I understand, Brother Davis." Anna took the meditation scroll and began her practice under his guidance.
"She really is a genius. She's already mastered the meditation method after just one hour…"
Davis observed her closely as she slipped into meditation. Her soul power began to increase little by little, and he nodded in satisfaction.
"Uncle Li." Davis called softly, and Li Hu, with his keen hearing, immediately arrived.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"Didn't we hunt a lot of Nether Wolves last week? Use their meat to prepare a large feast. From now on, at least 60% of Anna's meals must include meat."
"Yes."
"Oh—and go purchase some hundred-year-old whale glue."
"Your Highness, there's still a stock of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue in the mansion. Why not use that?"
Davis shook his head.
"The ten-thousand-year version is too potent. I'm afraid Nana's body can't handle it. Start with hundred-year-old glue and gradually increase the dosage.
In fact, the younger, the better. If you find ten-year-old whale glue, buy that."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Li Hu quickly left and returned with a fifty-year-old whale glue. He also instructed the maids to prepare a high-fat, high-protein soul beast meal.

By midday, the aroma of freshly cooked meat reached Anna's nose. She opened her eyes from meditation and, upon seeing the variety of dishes laid out before her, her mouth watered.
"Brother Davis… Are all these for me?"
"Of course!" Davis chuckled. "Come eat! And after lunch, I've got something special for you."
"Brother Davis…"
Anna couldn't believe what she was seeing. Just yesterday, she had been a slave auctioned off. Today, she was living in luxury, training under the Star Luo Crown Prince.
The emotional whiplash—from hell to heaven—made her feel like she was dreaming.
She picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of Nether Wolf meat, and took a bite. The delicious flavor exploded on her tongue, and her eyes instantly welled with tears.
"What's wrong, Nana?" Davis asked. "Is it not tasty? Should I have the kitchen redo it?"
"No, no, Brother Davis! It's delicious! I've just… never eaten something so good before…"
"Haha, silly girl." Davis gently rubbed her hair. "From now on, you'll eat like this every day. Now stop crying or your food will get cold—go on, eat!"
"Mm!"
Anna nodded, and then devoured the meal as though she were exacting revenge on the food itself.
In her heart, she made a silent vow:
I must become a Titled Douluo, no matter what. Only then can I repay Brother Davis's kindness…
—
After lunch, Davis cut off a marble-sized piece of the whale glue, roasted it, and passed it to Anna.
"Here, Nana. Eat this!"
Looking at the sticky, fishy piece of whale glue, Anna instinctively shivered.
"Brother Davis… Can I really eat this?"
"Don't talk. Just eat."
Anna hesitated, then opened her mouth and swallowed the glue. She sat down cross-legged and began to meditate, refining the energy of the whale glue within her body.
