Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 656 Slime? Shi Aotian!

As Ye Wen left, his companions who had come with him to awaken their martial souls also offered their blessings and departed together.

However, no one paid attention to Tang San, the so-called genius with innate full soul power, which shows how unpopular Tang San was.

Tang San didn't take it to heart; in fact, he almost laughed.

They're just a bunch of sycophants. Human nature is selfish, it's always been this way. He just needs to do his job well.

He even ignored the pity on Old Jack's face. In Tang San's view, with the Tang Sect's legacy, as long as he steadily worked his way up, he would definitely reach the pinnacle of the world.

More than these trivial matters, he wanted to know about Soul Masters. He felt that the reason he was stuck at the first level of the Mysterious Heaven Technique was because of Soul Masters!

Unfortunately, old Jack wasn't a Soul Master. Although he could read, his knowledge was quite limited. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so poor, wearing patched clothes, and later becoming Tang San's tool for killing the gatekeeper.

After Old Jack had no answers to several of his questions, a look of annoyance flashed in Tang San's eyes. This kind of country bumpkin was really useless.

But the old Jack, whose eyesight was failing, did not notice Tang San's unusual behavior, and the kind-hearted man said at this moment.

"Let's go, Grandpa will take you home, and we'll also talk to your father about sending you to college."

Tang San's expression softened when he heard that Tang Hao was involved. In his opinion, no matter how big the world was, his old father was the most important person.

Ye Wen had no interest in the matter of the ungrateful child. After returning home, he told his parents the good news, and amidst their joyful cheers, the family began to prepare a feast.

Although they only possessed half a level of innate soul power, in a world where having soul power made a world of difference compared to not having it, it was already something to be overjoyed for their small rural family.

After all the commotion, Ye Wen didn't have time to carefully consider the issue of his martial soul until he fell asleep at night.

Ye Wen's father, Ye Qing, had a blue stone as his martial soul, while his mother, Wen Nuan, had water as her martial soul. Both were inanimate objects and did not possess any accompanying soul power.

Summoning his martial soul once more, Ye Wen gazed at the agile, slime-like martial soul before him and fell into deep thought.

There are also basic rules to follow when it comes to the mutation of a martial soul.

Perhaps it's an attribute mutation, or a bloodline mutation, but in all the examples Ye Wen knows, there is absolutely no case where both parents have martial souls that are similar to inanimate objects, yet they have mutated their own martial souls, which are like living summoned creatures.

"So what exactly are you?" Ye Wen murmured to himself, staring at his own martial spirit.

For some reason, even though the slime in front of him clearly had no eyes, Ye Wen felt as if it was staring at him. Then, in a moment of confusion, Ye Wen jumped onto it.

Feeling the connection that originated from bloodline, Ye Wen temporarily put aside his doubts and embraced the martial spirit.

"No matter what, as long as you are the martial soul that accompanies me throughout my life, that's enough."

Feeling the soft, cool warmth in his arms, Ye Wen, who had been busy all day, gradually fell into a deep sleep.

When Ye Wen woke up the next day, he was startled by the familiar touch in his arms. Then, still half asleep, he hugged the slime tightly.

After lingering in bed for a while, Ye Wen was puzzled when he finished washing up and was fully awake.

"Strange, according to Su Yuntao, when a person's consciousness cannot remain clear, shouldn't the martial spirit automatically dissipate? But why is my martial spirit still there the next morning?"

Ye Wen looked down and exchanged a glance with the slime.

With a thought, Ye Wen's slime disappeared, and the familiar feeling returned. After a night of releasing his martial soul, Ye Wen's soul power not only had not been depleted, but had even expanded to twice the level it had been when he first awakened his martial soul.

"I've broken through to level one!?"

Ye Wen stared in disbelief.

Because of the uncertainty, Ye Wen spent the next few days repeating the experiment of summoning slimes for an extended period and then dispelling the effect.

Ye Wen ultimately concluded that his martial soul was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Its hidden talent was probably comparable to or even surpassed Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, which had the appearance of a pig but was essentially a Holy Dragon of Light.

Because of his martial soul's talent, Ye Wen has already reached the Kun level of soul power. However, as long as Ye Wen doesn't actively use it, and Tang Hao, that lazybones, doesn't use his mental power to detect it, no one can discover Ye Wen's strange breakthrough speed.

During this time, Ye Wen felt that as a part of himself, it wouldn't be good to be called a trashy name like "Slime" all the time. He had to come up with a proper name so that his martial soul, which should have shone brightly in the future, wouldn't lose its prestige.

"So what should we call it?"

Just as Ye Wen was racking his brains, a name suddenly flashed into his mind and he blurted out.

"Nana."

After saying the name, Ye Wen's expression was extremely strange, because the name was completely unrelated to his martial soul, and could even be said to have no connection with it. So why did he associate it with such a name?

At this moment, a strange sense of familiarity and unfamiliarity welled up in Ye Wen's heart once again.

However, Ye Wen pondered for a long time but still couldn't understand where this inexplicable feeling came from, and finally turned his attention to the Martial Soul.

"You're the one influencing me, aren't you? You're the one influencing me! So, you, who seem to be genderless slime, are actually a girl?"

"How interesting! I never imagined that as a boy, my martial soul would be that of a girl. I really want to see what you'll look like when you awaken your true form!"

Ye Wen was initially skeptical, but then he became certain of his own thoughts. After all, as a psychologically normal man, it was impossible for him to inexplicably choose a feminine name. The only possibility was that his mysterious martial spirit had influenced him.

However, if my martial soul could transform into a beautiful woman in the future, that would be called "guhehehehe".

From then on, Ye Wen's martial soul was named Nana.

Now Ye Wen faces another problem.

Should I become a self-funded student or a work-study student?

Although Ye Wen's family can only be considered moderately well-off now, they can still afford to let Ye Wen be a self-funded student. The advantage of being a self-funded student is that he doesn't have to squeeze into a large dormitory with a bunch of people, and he doesn't have to do chores to earn living expenses, so he has more time to cultivate and study.

However, Ye Wen knew that once Tang San enrolled in school, the mischievous rabbit would also arrive.

This rogue rabbit is already a Soul Master with a Soul Ring in just one year of school, which is a huge advantage for a junior academy in this remote place.

If Ye Wen remembers correctly, not long after the self-funded students and the work-study students got into a fight, the self-funded students ultimately lost completely because of Xiao Wu and Tang San.

Not only could they no longer bully the work-study students, but they also had to clean the house for them, which was really tough.
