Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 22: The Disciple Who Gains the "Blessing" of the Blind Douluo's Father (Part 2)

Then Ye Wen pointed to the little girl Lan, who was covered in blue silver grass, and said...

"Let's start by introducing your martial soul, Lanlan. Your martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, has an innate soul power of level one, which is quite normal."

I once learned about the Blue Silver Grass martial soul from a book. Scholars have investigated and found that the probability of a Blue Silver Grass user awakening innate soul power is no more than three percent. You should be overjoyed to have this level of soul power, after all, you're already a one-in-a-hundred Blue Silver Grass genius, because Blue Silver Grass itself is considered the weakest of all martial souls.

Listening to Ye Wen's explanation, Lanlan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She was really sorry that her martial soul was so bad.

However, Ye Wen then said, "You don't need to be so discouraged. Blue Silver Grass is weak, but it can't be said to be useless. Precisely because of its weakness, the evolution it can undergo after obtaining a spirit ring is a leap that no other spirit can achieve."

The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul has another advantage. Let me tell you, in the cultivation of Soul Masters, there is a kind of environment called the simulated cultivation environment, which is usually exclusive to noble Soul Masters.

This cultivation method simulates the environment, allowing the spirit's inherent nature to return to its original habitat, thus significantly accelerating the spirit master's cultivation speed. And your Blue Silver Grass, you understand now.

Looking at Ye Wen's shrewd eyes, Lanlan seemed to understand at first, then suddenly realized. She said "Oh."

"I see!"

As for Village Chief Mike, he was completely confused. He poured himself another glass of water. It tasted so good; it was indeed water befitting a Soul Master.

"So from now on, try to cultivate in places with plenty of Blue Silver Grass. This will speed up your cultivation. Although it won't help much, it should allow you to cultivate at a speed comparable to a level 2 or 3 Soul Master with innate Soul Power. While that might not seem like much in big cities, it's quite fast in Notting City. If you persist every day, you should be able to reach the level 30 Soul Master by around age 30. At that point, 100 gold coins a month will be enough to make your life very comfortable."

Although there were still many terms Lanlan didn't understand, hearing that she could get 100 gold soul coins at age 30 cheered her up. So what if she had a useless martial soul? As long as she could reach the Soul Master level, she would still receive the subsidy.

Meanwhile, Huo Rui, who was standing to the side, did not expect that there were so many intricacies to the cultivation of a useless soul like Lan Yin Cao. However, the intelligent Huo Rui tried to apply the cultivation plan that Ye Wen had told Lan Lan to herself, but found that she could not find the same way to improve, which made her feel a little frustrated.

Ye Wen also noticed Huo Rui's situation, but he didn't rush to explain. Instead, he took a sip of water to moisten his dry throat.

But Huo Rui couldn't wait any longer. She quickly ran to Ye Wen's side, grabbed his arm with her little hand and shook it, pleading urgently.

"Big brother, what about me! What about me!"

At this moment, Village Chief Mike frowned and scolded Hoch, "Xiao Rui, watch your manners."

At this moment, Village Chief Mike was completely convinced of Ye Wen's abilities. It wasn't that the village hadn't produced some Soul Masters before, but he had never seen anyone like Ye Wen, who could speak eloquently and plan the cultivation of even a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass.

Especially when he heard that the final cultivation path could reach the Soul Venerable level and earn 100 gold coins per month, he completely lost his composure. After all, it was questionable whether the entire annual harvest of Jinmai Village could even be sold for 100 gold coins. Therefore, he became even more respectful to Ye Wen, a respect that stemmed from his admiration for intellectuals.

Therefore, he felt that Huo Rui's current behavior was disrespectful to Ye Wen and wanted Huo Rui to restrain herself.

Ye Wen waved his hand, indicating to Village Chief Mike that he didn't need to be so serious, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Don't worry, Xiao Rui. Your talent far surpasses that of Blue Silver Grass. As long as you plan your martial soul cultivation properly, even if you don't excel in the future, you will still become a Soul Master. That's the fifth title for a Soul Master, a position that allows you to reign supreme in Notting City."

Hearing Ye Wen say this, Huo Rui's eyes sparkled as she began to imagine how powerful her future would be.

But when he thought about how his martial soul was his heart, he couldn't very well take his own heart out and throw it at someone, because that would kill him too.

Children's thoughts are so simple and unpretentious, and Huo Rui immediately became dejected again.

Seeing Huo Rui's expression, Ye Wen scratched his head. Although he had grown up from a child, he had the soul of an adult inside him. He really couldn't completely control the thoughts of this little brat in the world, so he continued.

"But Xiaorui, you need to listen carefully. I'm talking about planning your martial soul cultivation properly. You should also know what kind of situation your martial soul is. If it's not developed properly, it will become a real useless martial soul, and you won't even be able to break through to the Soul Master level."

"Then how should I cultivate, big brother?"

Huo Rui looked at Ye Wen with hope. In her opinion, if Ye Wen could even devise a method to cultivate a useless martial soul like Blue Silver Grass to the level of Soul Master, then she, with her innate level 5 Heart Martial Soul, should also be able to develop a pretty good cultivation method.

"Regarding this issue, although I really want to tell you directly, Soul Masters have their own rules. For someone with a useless Martial Soul like Lanlan, I can just give her some pointers and that's it, because her future achievements are very limited. But you are different. I can't just give you the best cultivation methods for no reason. You must give me an equal return."

Because the rules of the Soul Master world dictate that one cannot pry into another's cultivation methods. Each cultivation method is the culmination of a Soul Master sect's wisdom; one must either join a sect or sign an indenture. Otherwise, ordinary Soul Masters will not teach you cultivation methods. What you can learn in the academy are only the most basic cultivation methods. They might be acceptable for ordinary Martial Soul cultivation, but for your special Martial Soul, they will only turn you into a useless person.

The little girl was facing the harshness of the world for the first time in her life. She could only clench her patched and tattered dress tightly with her fists and ask timidly.

"But I have nothing."

"No, you do," Ye Wen said firmly.

"Become my disciple, and from now on we will share life and death. I will teach you the secrets of your martial soul. At the very least, you will become a Soul Saint in the future."

And I can tell you without hesitation that no one in the world understands your martial spirit better than I do.

Young Huo Rui didn't understand what it meant to become an apprentice in the world of Soul Masters, but her lack of possessions made her speak without hesitation.

"Alright, I'll take you as my master."

Seeing Huo Rui's determined gaze, Ye Wen was also moved.

Standing up and walking forward, Ye Wen, who was only three years older than Huo Rui, was already 1.7 meters tall, like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old older brother, and patted Huo Rui's head.

"Alright, I, Ye Wen, will accept you as my eldest disciple. From now on, you shall call me Master."

"Yes, Master."
