Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 9 Hometown Soul Master Training Program

Listening to Ye Wen's explanation, Ah Yin's eyes shone with admiration. She never expected that the soul skill Ye Wen had acquired would be exactly the same as what Ye Wen had imagined.

It's important to understand that the soul skills a soul master acquires on the Douluo Continent are largely random; no one can be 100% certain what soul skill they will receive. The only option is to hunt suitable soul beasts to obtain the appropriate soul skill.

A hint of smugness flashed in Ye Wen's eyes, but he didn't shout excitedly like an ordinary child. Instead, he and A Yin made arrangements for their night watch, since it was already dark and it was impossible for them to return to human society with their small bodies.

The Soul Hunter Forest is already full of danger during the day, but at night it becomes a paradise for nocturnal soul beasts and a hell for humans. After all, in such a dark environment, few people can be a match for nocturnal soul beasts.

Fortunately, the two were very lucky. Not only did they successfully hunt for the soul rings they needed on the first day, but there were also no unusual occurrences during the night.

The next morning, the two left the Soul Hunter Forest in an orderly fashion. The old guard and the young man were still guarding the entrance to the Soul Hunter Forest. Ye Wen was grateful for the old guard's reminder; if it weren't for the veteran providing the location where the Azure Beast frequently appeared, he would have wasted several days searching aimlessly in the Soul Hunter Forest, not to mention the danger.

"Thank you for your help yesterday, Uncle," Ye Wen said politely and gratefully.

Looking at the child who had left a deep impression on him, the old guard's eyes revealed emotion. He hadn't expected the kid to be so lucky, getting out in just one day. However, he wasn't too excited, since they were not related.

However, feeling it was necessary to offer a few words of guidance to the juniors, he said casually, considering himself a senior commoner Soul Master.

"Even if you acquire your first spirit skill, don't get too cocky. There are many experts in this world. But now that you've obtained your first spirit ring, you can register at the Spirit Hall and receive one gold coin every month. This will make your life much easier."

Although this information was just common knowledge for Soul Masters, it still warmed Ye Wen's heart.

In his past life, he didn't know who his parents were and grew up in an orphanage. Understanding the harshness of society, he could only study desperately in a frenzied, competitive manner, hoping to defy fate. However, he overdid it and actually lost his life. In those short twenty-odd years of life, the number of people who were so kind to him, apart from his roommates, seemed to be no more than five. Therefore, Ye Wen secretly made up his mind that if he had the ability in the future, he wouldn't mind helping the old guard.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Ye Wen and A Yin embarked on their journey back to Notting Junior Academy.

Along the way, Ye Wen discovered his shortcomings. He did possess wisdom beyond his time, but his combat strength was insufficient, and he couldn't handle everything alone. He needed to cultivate helpers. Otherwise, the progress of his martial soul research would definitely be very slow, and he didn't want to become a theoretical master like Yu Xiaogang who deceived people with conjectures.

A true theory must be based on scientific evidence, data summaries, and a solution with an extremely low error rate to be considered a qualified theory; otherwise, it is tantamount to disregarding human life.

"What are you thinking about, bro? Something on your mind?"

It was obvious that Ah Yin noticed Ye Wen's absent-mindedness, so she asked him curiously.

Ye Wen pondered for a moment, then said, "I plan to start training disciples and building our own team when we break through to the third ring. It's too dangerous to walk alone in human society with limited resources. Moreover, my future research on martial souls will definitely require more and more research data, and I certainly won't be able to handle it all by myself."

Upon hearing that it was such a troublesome matter, Ah Yin immediately lost interest. As a member of the Blue Silver Grass clan with a lazy and unambitious nature, she let her clansmen grow as they pleased without cultivating their Blue Silver Emperors; she simply lacked this so-called ambition.

Seeing Ah Yin start slacking off again, Ye Wen's lips twitched, but he was helpless.

The two quickly returned to Notting Junior Academy, but instead of rushing to the Spirit Hall to register as Soul Masters and collect their stipends, they took out a crystal ball to test their own Soul Power.

Ye Wen, Level 15 Soul Master

Ah Yin, Level 15 Soul Master

Their soul power was almost identical, which was truly a testament to their innate full soul power geniuses. Neither of them had any soul rings to enhance their soul power, yet both managed to advance five levels within a year of cultivation.

As for Tang San? What kind of innate full soul power did he have? He was initially unremarkable in appearance and looked rather useless. It wasn't until he started cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Technique for a while that he experienced the feeling of being unable to continue cultivating. He painstakingly cultivated until he barely caught up with Xiao Wu's true innate full soul power.

Ha, this is what true innate full soul power looks like (_).

However, seeing such a high level of soul power, Ye Wen was troubled.

Before they master the true control and release of soul power, the two of them absolutely cannot register with the Spirit Hall, otherwise their innate full soul power will be directly exposed.

Therefore, the next training task for the two of them is to completely control their soul power intensity in order to deceive the soul power detector.

Moreover, this ability can be used all the way up to Soul Master. As long as I keep my soul power low enough, I won't be a Soul Grandmaster anymore, and I can keep scamming subsidies. That's so cool! Hahaha (。-`ω-)

The following days were as boring as ever. Under the teacher's supervision, I learned basic Soul Master knowledge and then silently cultivated for a day.

Soon, the second winter vacation arrived, and I returned to the familiar Holy Soul Village, with its vast fields and familiar relatives as always.

"Grandpa, I want to conduct an experiment. If it succeeds, a few Soul Masters might emerge in our village."

The family was enjoying a meal together when Ye Wen suddenly told Ye Buyi about his idea for cultivating Soul Masters in his hometown.

However, Ye Buyi did not immediately agree to Ye Wen's request. Instead, he stroked his long white goatee.

"How confident are you? After all, I've lived my whole life and never heard of a Soul Master being able to artificially induce childbirth."

"Don't worry, Grandpa, although this is just a hypothesis, this experiment will not pose any danger to anyone's life."

"Is that so? Then let's do it. Those guys in the village are always thinking about all sorts of nonsense. They never seem to be able to produce a child with the potential to become a Soul Master. Since you can give their offspring a chance to become a Soul Master, I doubt they'll refuse."

However, promise me, Xiaowen, you absolutely mustn't do anything immoral or unethical. Otherwise, the Spirit Hall's spirit masters will label you a fallen spirit master.

Seemingly having made up his mind, Ye Buyi solemnly agreed.
