Douluo Continent, my martial soul is a mushroom.

Chapter 102 Derivation of Cultivation Techniques, Treatment

The body tempering process lasted for three hours before Chi Ping called for a halt.

[Dad, are you alright? (╥﹏╥)]

The mushroom tree turned off its spotlight, and its green-gold mycelium intertwined, forming the body of an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, who then caringly helped up Chi Ping, who had collapsed to the ground.

Chi Ping's heavy breathing sounded as if he had just survived a long and arduous battle. He had poured every ounce of his spirit and every bit of strength into it, all for the chance of survival.

Pain, exhaustion, palpitations, yet also exhilarating.

The beauty of evolution, even in its smallest form, is breathtaking.

Chi Ping could sense that the time his Qi and blood remained stagnant in his body had increased. The idea of ​​modifying his body should be sound, but it needed more experiments and deductions.

but……

It took about ten minutes for Chi Ping to catch his breath.

He rubbed the mushroom tree's screen-like head. (Although it's a bit strange, the mushroom tree's head is now a display screen, which she finds more convenient this way.)

"Thank you, Little Tree. I'm fine. We'll continue the experiment the day after tomorrow."

……

"Like cures like... Flesh and internal organs contain the spirit of the human body. Consuming the flesh and internal organs of a Soul Master of the same type allows one to absorb this essence and spirit to compensate for oneself and promote the evolution of one's Martial Soul..."

In the dean's office, Chi Ping flipped through a pale yellow book bound by an amateur, muttering to himself.

Two years ago, Chi Ping embarked on a journey in the northern lands of Tiandou, during which he acquired a book of evil soul master techniques with both theoretical and experimental components—the Life Devouring Technique.

This is the only advanced, universal "technique" that Chi Ping currently knows of.

Everything a Soul Master does stems from their Martial Soul. Apart from the most basic method of Soul Power meditation and manipulation, everything else involves developing one's own Martial Soul, such as Soul Ring pairings, corresponding cultivateable Soul Skills, and key points of Soul Power circulation.

A technique that works on one type of martial soul may not be effective on another, and could even be harmful. This is because martial souls influence the nature of a soul master's soul power and even their physical structure.

Therefore, only Soul Master families would research "cultivation techniques," and these "cultivation techniques" are exclusive and not universal.

Although it's unclear why Lin Xiang thought of developing a cultivation technique, the Life-Devouring Technique is quite versatile; almost anyone can cultivate it. While the benefits vary from person to person, it's certainly not harmful. It's suitable for modification into an advanced, universal cultivation technique.

"By consuming the flesh and blood of specific martial soul holders, one can compensate for the defects of their own martial soul and promote its evolution."

The word "噬" is what I need.

Given my current circumstances, the best approach to modification would be to change the way I consume human flesh and blood to absorbing elements, life force, and the flesh of spirit beasts.

Chi Ping pondered the direction of modifying the "Life Devouring Technique," and occasionally practiced it on himself.

……

[The following is a news segment from mainland China:]

First news item:

Recently, the Spirit Hall issued a solemn statement, strongly condemning the murderer who destroyed the two major sects.

It was also pointed out that the seven major sects have existed for a long time, and now the Haotian Sect has gone into seclusion, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have been destroyed.

With three of the seven major sects missing, in order to continue tradition, maintain peace in the Soul Master world, and reduce conflict, the Seven Major Sects Tournament has been restarted.

One year later, all sects on the mainland can register to participate in the Seven Great Sects Tournament to establish the new Seven Great Sects and rank them according to their strength.

After extensive interviews, we received a comment from an unknown young principal: "The Spirit Hall's slang is quite fluent."

Editor's comment: Dad is generous.

Second news item: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has officially changed its name to the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Ning Rongrong, an honorary student of our school, has become the successor of the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader.

Editor's comment: Let's give them a round of applause! Clap clap!

Article 3...

On the path between the large playground and the library, Chi Ping accompanied Chen Xin to relax, and the female voice from the campus broadcast could be heard clearly.

During the Spirit Hall's Soul Hunting Operation, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was ambushed by six Title Douluo, including Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

At the cost of his sword-wielding right arm, Chen Xin shattered the martial soul fusion technique of the two, and escaped from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School castle with Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi.

"Young friend, your campus broadcast... hmm... it's quite well done." Chen Xin looked at him strangely. "Young friend, you're married?"

Chi Ping smiled awkwardly and shook his head, saying, "I have a woman I admire, but I haven't taken that step yet. The person hosting the broadcast is the spirit of my mushroom tree, who considers me his father because of my birth. He's a bit lively and may have offended you in some way, so please forgive him."

Chen Xin smiled and asked, "So, this young lady is the one who will help you treat my severed arm?"

Chi Ping, "Xiao Shu has inherited almost all of my abilities, and even surpassed me. Only with her cooperation can I be confident in reattaching your severed limbs."

Chen Xin bowed respectfully, saying, "Young friend, you've gone to so much trouble."

Chi Ping accepted the bow, saying, "Your mindset is excellent, which will be beneficial for the treatment."

Chen Xin laughed heartily, "What I and my friend experienced back then is so similar. If my friend could face it with a calm mind on his own back then, why can't I?"

Besides, I have my young friend's help, and it looks like I'll be able to reconstruct my severed arm. In this situation, if I still feel discouraged, I'd be utterly useless.

Chi Ping nodded, "You're very generous, senior."

The two walked across the large playground, past the teaching building and the laboratory building, up the mountain, and arrived at the bluestone square at the top of the mountain.

Beneath the mushroom tree, a small hut stands out abruptly.

"Is this the healing place you arranged, young friend?" Chen Xin asked curiously.

"Not bad." Chi Ping nodded.

"Dad, I'm ready!" (*`*)

A girl with a screen-like head jumped out of the treehouse, startling Chen Xin.

But a Title Douluo is a Title Douluo, and Chen Xin immediately calmed down and carefully examined the human form of the mushroom tree.

"This (strange person)... is this your daughter?"

Chi Ping suppressed the sapling with one hand, nodded to Chen Xin, and said, "Senior, you can just call her 'Sapling'."

Xiaoshu hasn't decided on her image yet, and I don't allow her to use my face, so she'll be showing herself in this image for now.

"Senior, please enter the operating room. There is a bed inside; please lie down and adjust your soul power. Xiaoshu and I will prepare a little more before treating you."

Chen Xin did as instructed, casually saying, "I've waited two days already, what's a little longer?"

For the past two days, Chi Ping had been examining Chen Xin. In order to achieve the best possible results from the reconstruction surgery, Chi Ping needed to understand as much as possible the condition of Chen Xin's original right arm and his physical strength.

About fifteen minutes later, Ikehira and Ikeki had finished their pre-operative preparations.

The two entered the sterile room wearing white and green-gold lab coats woven from mycelium.

Inside the room, Chen Xin was already prepared.

"Limb regeneration surgery, begin. I'll clean the wound, little tree, keep the wound clean, prepare for the light of continuation!"
