Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 23: The Apprentice Who Gains the "Blessing" of the Blind Douluo Father (Part 2)

Although Ye Wen had considered adopting Huo Rui as his god-sister and teaching her, he thought that since he already had A Yin, it would be inappropriate to adopt another Huo Rui.

After all, decent people don't have that many god-sisters.

Moreover, since he now bears the mission of reversing the future of this world, he must cultivate his own team as soon as possible, and Huo Rui, who possesses a top-tier physical martial soul, is undoubtedly a powerful assistant in the future.

When training a god-sister, a young girl can be temperamental, but if she is an apprentice, then she must follow the strict training plan set by her master.

It can also become stronger at the fastest speed in the future.

Ye Wen then inquired about Huo Rui's family situation and learned that she had a mother and a younger brother who was one year younger than her. Ye Wen then decided to take the whole family with him, since he didn't need the money to support them.

Moreover, Huo Rui's family situation was not good, otherwise her top-level physical martial soul awakening would not have been limited to level five.

Their family was originally quite well-off, but unfortunately, her father had an accident while hunting in the mountains and was never heard from again. The family's life suddenly became very difficult, but fortunately, Huo Rui was sensible and helped her mother shoulder part of the burden of the family.

This excessively heavy family burden may be the culprit that led to Huo Rui, a top-tier natural genius, having only a level five soul power at birth.

Ye Wen and Huo Rui's family quickly packed their luggage. Although they didn't have much luggage, they were about to leave Jinmai Village.

Just as Ye Wen was about to leave Jinmai Village, the little girl named Lanlan caught up with him, panting, and said something to him.

"Big brother, can I become your apprentice?"

Seeing those expectant eyes, Ye Wen originally intended to refuse. After all, the Blue Silver Grass martial soul was far too useless, and he already had Ah Yin by his side. He really had no interest in a martial soul like Blue Silver Grass.

"Why? Why do you want to become my disciple? Haven't I already told you the direction of your martial soul cultivation? As long as you cultivate step by step, you will eventually become a Soul Master."

"I want to become stronger," Lanlan said sadly.

Looking at Lanlan, Ye Wen knew that the little girl in front of him probably had her own story, so he asked softly.

Why do you want to become stronger?

"My mom and dad were run over and killed by nobles in Nottingham. Although the village chief told me that my parents were accidentally bitten to death by a passing wolf."

But when my parents returned, their wounds weren't from any wild animal bites; they were from being hit by a carriage. I later found out that a minor nobleman in Nottingham was driving recklessly in the city and ran over my parents, killing them. So I want revenge.

But my martial spirit is too weak. Even if I cultivate to the Soul Master level as my older brother suggested, I still won't be able to defeat him. But I want revenge!

Listening to Lanlan's narration, Ye Wen was also somewhat surprised. He did not expect that the little girl in front of him was so intelligent before the age of six, able to identify the cause of death of her parents from the injuries on their bodies, and then quietly collect evidence on her own.

Ye Wen remained silent for a while. He felt great sympathy for Lanlan, who had been persecuted by nobles and become an orphan.

"Alright, I happen to have some ideas that I'd like to test on your martial soul. I'll accept you as my disciple, but since your talent is limited, I can't take you as my personal disciple. So for now, you'll be my nominal disciple."

As for your parents' revenge, I'll find a chance to avenge them for you. You absolutely mustn't try to take revenge on your own. That will not only harm yourself, but your entire village of Jinmai will also suffer. Nobles are just unreasonable creatures.”

Ye Wen then went back to explain Lanlan's situation to Village Chief Mike.

It was clear that Village Chief Mike still didn't understand the intelligence of this child who had grown up under the care of the entire village. He simply told Ye Wen to take good care of the child before allowing Ye Wen to take Lanlan away.

Ye Buyi, who was leisurely sunbathing in the courtyard, looked at the group of people that Ye Wen had brought back, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

However, he quickly accepted Ye Wen's decision to take in two students and Huo Rui's family.

As the children born from Ye Wen's innate soul power experiments grew, his family's wealth increased significantly. Ye Buyi's ability to accept such things also grew stronger.

Ah Yin was clearly very interested in Lan Lan, whom Ye Wen had taken in. Especially after learning that Lan Lan's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, she enthusiastically took Lan Lan to cultivate.

After settling Huo Rui's family and Lan Lan in a few days, Ye Wen began to formally teach Huo Rui about the cultivation of her original martial soul.

"Xiao Rui, first of all, I don't agree with the traditional classification of martial souls cultivated by soul masters."

Since you haven't been to school, I'll explain it to you simply: the so-called traditional classification of martial souls is to divide martial souls into weapon martial souls and beast martial souls.

My core objection to this classification stems from Soul Masters like you. How can a part of your body awaken as a Martial Soul? What does that have to do with beasts? This classification itself diminishes the difference between humans and Soul Beasts.

Therefore, I name your martial spirit "Original Martial Spirit." It is a special martial spirit that awakens a part of oneself as a martial spirit.

There are various other classifications of martial spirits. After I finish teaching you the common language of Douluo Continent, I will give you a book I wrote called "A Brief Analysis of Martial Spirits." You can learn about them on your own then.

"I understand, Master. Now, may I ask, Master, how exactly should I cultivate my original martial soul?" Huo Rui asked.

Ye Wen was satisfied with Huo Rui's serious attitude and then continued.

"Don't rush into how to cultivate. You need to understand the uniqueness and preciousness of your martial spirit first so that you can achieve twice the result with half the effort in your subsequent cultivation."

I consulted many books that documented the original martial soul, and finally came to this conclusion.

The more powerful the main body spirit, the more indispensable its relationship with the body becomes. For example, the most common main body spirits are the limbs or hair, which are not fatal or precious parts of the human body.

Even so, once a person awakens their original martial soul, they will inevitably possess soul power. Furthermore, the soul power awakened by these ordinary original martial souls can reach levels three to six of innate soul power. In major cities, this would be considered genius.

It is precisely because of this innate soul power that I classify these ordinary physical martial souls into the range of advanced to top-tier martial souls.

The next level up in terms of martial spirit is a heart-based martial spirit like yours. Because once the heart is pierced, the person is not far from death.

Other body spirits of the same level as the heart include the eyes and brain. I classify these higher-level body spirits as super spirits because they provide a huge boost to the spirit master.

The difference between a Super Martial Soul and a Top-Tier or Advanced Martial Soul lies in the fact that a Super Martial Soul possesses extreme characteristics or certain innate Soul Skills. This is a completely different kind of enhancement compared to Top-Tier or Advanced Martial Souls, which can only possess certain attributes.

The most prominent examples are the three cases mentioned above.

The Clear Sky Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect possesses unparalleled weight characteristics. Unless it is also a super martial soul, an ordinary martial soul would be seriously injured by being hit by it.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, although limited to level 79 due to innate limitations, provides a percentage boost to the effects of all spirit rings with each additional spirit ring, making it a top-tier support spirit master. This is precisely why it holds the title of the number one support spirit in the world.

Among them, the most famous is undoubtedly the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, hailed as the number one beast spirit in the world, while ranking among super spirits, is actually not among the top dragon species. As far as I know, there are more than ten dragon-type spirit beasts stronger than it. However, this shouldn't be underestimated. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's innate talent, Dragon Transformation, provides a significant power boost to its spirit masters before reaching the Soul Saint level. It is precisely this super boost, unlike that of ordinary spirit masters, that has allowed them to secure their position among the top three sects. Otherwise, given their status as a single Title Douluo, it would have been quite precarious for them to even make it into the top three sects.

Getting back to the main topic, I'll explain the affairs of the Soul Master world to you slowly later.

Based on my deduction, these three top-tier martial souls represent three different cultivation paths.

The brain is quite simple; it's related to mental power, and the person I researched possessed a powerful brain-based martial soul. The last recorded instance was reaching the Soul Saint realm, but even a Soul Douluo wouldn't dare to directly withstand his Soul Impact attack.

While the cultivator of the Eye Martial Soul, like the Soul Saint with the Brain Martial Soul, cultivates mental power, their focuses differ. Their Soul Skill involves using eye contact to trap opponents in an inescapable illusion. Compared to simple, brutal mental attacks, this method of constructing mental illusions is undoubtedly more sophisticated. Furthermore, this cultivator of the Eye Martial Soul eventually reached the level of a Title Douluo.

However, in my original idea, the eye-type martial soul should be related to insight. But considering that the eyes are the windows to the spiritual world, I suspect that the true martial soul of this titled Douluo with the eye-type martial soul should be the combination of the eye and the brain.

And finally, I want to talk about your heart. What do you think the heart is related to?

Listening to Ye Wen's detailed explanation, Huo Rui fell into thought. She had never imagined that her seemingly useless martial soul was actually a hidden super martial soul.

"Is it blood?"

Ye Wen was very satisfied with Huo Rui's intelligence. He nodded in agreement with Huo Rui's statement and then said...

"That's right, it's blood. As one of the most important organs in the human body, the heart's main function is to provide power for the blood in the body, allowing it to flow through our limbs and bones."

The reason I say the heart is a super martial soul is because after awakening the heart martial soul, you should clearly feel that your physical strength has been increased and you have extremely vigorous energy.
