Douluo: This soul master has a little bit of luck

Chapter 197 Second Awakening, the Grace of Rebirth

After Qi Lin and Ning Rongrong left the attic, the two of them were now traveling together as a trio, with Xue Ling following closely behind them.

After returning to Tiandou Academy, when Qi Lin introduced Xue Ling to Xiao Wu and her group, everyone felt very sorry for her plight. Xiao Wu, in particular, clenched her fists and said angrily, "If those human traffickers had fallen into Xiao Wu's hands, she would have skinned them alive."

As for the others, although they felt sympathy, those of noble birth were already used to such things.

That's just how things are in the Douluo Continent!

Xue Ling felt somewhat flattered by the warm treatment from Xiao Wu and the others.

Back at Qi Lin's dormitory, Gu Yuena specially prepared a room for him.

In the evening, after dinner.

At first, Xue Ling felt that she was just her master's maid and was not worthy to eat at the same table with her master and mistress. But when she mentioned the title of mistress, the beautiful and almost perfect mistress showed a gentle smile and even served her a bowl of rice herself.

This meal was the most delicious meal she had ever eaten since she was born.

The care and concern shown to her by her master and mistress gave her an unprecedented warmth.

Xue Ling then meticulously cleaned the table and washed and arranged all the bowls and chopsticks neatly. After she finished doing all this, Qi Lin suddenly called out to her.

"Master, is there something you need from me?"

At first, Qi Lin asked her to call him by his name, but Xue Ling was very stubborn and felt that it was disrespectful to her master. She insisted on calling Qi Lin "Master".

Qi Lin looked at her, then pointed to the fox ears on her head and the tail on her rump and asked, "Can you tuck your ears and tail in?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ling's expression changed slightly. Did her master dislike her ears and tail?
But she still shook her head.

Qi Lin then stroked his chin and asked Xue Ling, "When you saw me, did you notice any unusual changes in yourself?"

As he spoke, Qi Lin deliberately activated his second martial soul, the Xuanbing Qilin martial soul, which then possessed him.

The next second, Qi Lin's body was covered in fine, armor-like scales of ice, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura.

However, Xue Ling still shook her head.

Upon seeing this, Qi Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was certain that he hadn't misjudged the situation; the moment he saw Xue Ling, his second martial soul had definitely resonated with her.

However, this resonance only lasted for a moment, and now he can no longer sense it.

However, one thing is certain: although Xue Ling's martial soul mutation failed, her martial soul was able to resonate with her second martial soul, which is definitely not simple.

Suddenly, Qi Lin realized that Xue Ling's lack of innate soul power was due to the failure of her martial soul mutation. What would happen if her martial soul were restored?

In Qi Lin's view, a situation like hers, where the quality of her martial soul is extremely high but the mutation failed and she didn't even awaken her soul power, should be similar to that of Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang's martial soul mutated into Luo Sanpao. However, as the most important link in the Golden Iron Triangle, the quality of his martial soul is by no means simple. It is very likely the result of a failed mutation of the Golden Sacred Dragon.

Snow Zero is very likely in a similar situation.

The reason for the failed mutation is most likely that the individual's own foundation was insufficient to support the mutation of the martial soul.

If that's the case, and if we can replenish its origin, there might be a chance for its martial soul to awaken a second time.

Qi Lin was very interested in Xue Ling's martial soul, since it could resonate with his second martial soul.

Thinking of this, Qi Lin took out a Creation-Mending Pill.

Eleven Creation and Heaven-Mending Pills were initially refined. Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo used two of them, and he had two sent back to his parents. Then, he, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Gu Yuena consumed five more.

Now we definitely need to prepare one for Ye Lingling as well.

There happened to be one left, so he could give it to Xue Ling to try. Although he was going to use this Creation-Mending Pill on Xue Ling, Qi Lin didn't feel it was a waste. For him, refining the Creation-Mending Pill was a piece of cake.

If needed someday, one can use a soul skill to accelerate the ripening of the immortal herb and then harvest it again.

Giving the Creation Pill to Xue Ling now can be considered an investment.

After all, Xue Ling is now my maid, so it's not a waste to use her.

After taking out the Creation-Mending Pill, Qi Lin handed it to Xue Ling.

"Xue Ling, eat it and see."

Xue Ling took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

In an instant, a dazzling white light burst forth from her body, and behind her, a snow-white fox phantom appeared and vanished in a flash.

Immediately, a chilling aura swept out from Xue Ling's body.

Her martial spirit has awakened for the second time!

It was noticeable that the underdeveloped fox tail at Xue Ling's buttocks had grown even longer, and the fur on the tail looked even shinier.

Qi Lin could sense that Xue Ling's soul power was increasing rapidly at a visible speed.

Although she did not acquire a spirit ring, Qi Lin was certain that her true spirit power had definitely reached level 20.

It seems everything is going as he predicted!
Xue Ling felt a sense of bewilderment as she sensed the changes within herself.

Seeing this, Qi Lin smiled and comforted her, then told her about the changes in her body.

"Wha...what, Master, you mean I'm a Soul Master now?"

Xue Ling was so excited that she started rambling incoherently.

Qi Lin smiled and nodded, saying, "It's the real deal. You can not only become a Soul Master now, but you will also become the most top-tier Soul Master in the world."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ling was so excited that she couldn't speak. She immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to Qi Lin.

"Thank you... thank you, Master, for giving Xue Ling a new life."

"Okay, get up!"

Qi Lin accepted Xue Ling's deep bow, then raised his hands, and an invisible force lifted her up from the ground.

Xue Ling's forehead was red from being banged on the ground, which showed how hard she had banged it.

But she seemed oblivious, her eyes filled with devotion as she looked at Qi Lin.

Now, she is so loyal to Qi Lin that she is willing to die for her.

This is a life-saving grace!
As Qi Lin looked at Xue Ling, whose martial soul was undergoing its second awakening, his Xuanbing Qilin martial soul indeed resonated with her once again.

In Douluo Continent, the resonance of martial souls signifies the possibility of martial soul fusion skills.

Although Xue Ling's current martial soul is considered one of the top-tier existences in Douluo Continent, its rank should be far inferior to her Xuanbing Qilin, right?
After all, his second martial soul benefited somewhat from the influence of the Ancestral Qilin.

If we have to compare it with the martial souls of Douluo Continent, then that would be somewhat unfair.

However, the fact that it can resonate with one's own martial soul is enough to show that Xue Ling's martial soul is extraordinary.

If Xue Ling weren't a native of this area, Qi Lin would probably have thought about her martial soul in other ways.
