Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 22 Gains Recognition

I went shopping with Ye Lingling and bought a lot of ingredients.

Lin Yizhang took Ye Lingling back to the rented courtyard, and Lin Yizhang skillfully began to cook.

Ye Lingling had been here many times. She didn't know how to cook before, but now she had learned how to control the fire.

Mastering fire is a higher level than simply starting a fire; it allows you to control how intense the fire is, depending on the situation.

For Ye Lingling, having such leisurely time while cultivating was a very pleasant thing.

She doesn't have many friends, and she spends most of her days practicing meditation and reading in the library, which is quite monotonous.

Entertainment is scarce in the Douluo Continent, and most Soul Masters do not need to work like ordinary people.

Their daily lives are either decadent or they enjoy spiritual cultivation.

Few people who are capable of enjoying life choose to strive for self-cultivation.

Men and women working together makes the work less tiring.

Lin Yi-chang actually enjoys cooking for himself; it helps him relax when he's bored.

Moreover, Lin Yizhang expressed great satisfaction with his craftsmanship, hehe.

The reason why Lin Yizhang was able to quickly develop a relationship with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling is also related to the fact that he won them over with his stomach.

After enjoying a delicious lunch, Lin Yizhang began to introduce his Demon Blade Thousand Blades Martial Soul to Ye Lingling.

Lin Yizhang released the Demon Blade Thousand Blades Martial Soul, and a long sword appeared in his right hand.

The long sword consists of a black hilt and half a blade.

The blade has blue stripes that depict the image of an evil spirit.

The blade of the broken knife is made up of thousands of fragments.

Ye Lingling was also very curious about what made this strange longsword so extraordinary.

Seeing the question in Ye Lingling's eyes, Lin Yizhang explained, "It's called the Demon Blade Thousand Blades."

Unlike ordinary sword spirits, half of its blade is composed of thousands of extremely sharp blade fragments.

Soul power and mental power can be used to control the Thousand Blade fragments to form various weapon shapes.

You can also use Thousand Blades directly against enemies. Thousand Blades has an extremely strong armor-piercing effect and can be considered to possess the ultimate metal attribute.

"You said these fragments can be assembled and used against the enemy, but I really can't imagine how they're supposed to be used."

"If you hadn't said it was so powerful, I would have thought it was just a broken sword and a useless martial spirit," Ye Lingling said.

Lin Yizhang then demonstrated the attack power of the Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Thousand Blade Domain.

Ye Lingling was greatly surprised when she learned that Lin Yizhang's Demon Blade Thousand Blades Martial Soul also had an innate domain.

In her own understanding, Ye Lingling remembered that she had never seen a domain skill before.

After introducing himself to Ye Lingling, Lin Yizhang went to her house under her guidance.

Her family's residence was not far outside Tiandou City, a three-hour carriage ride away.

Ye Lingling's family is called a family, but it is also similar to a small sect.

Upon entering the Nine Heart Begonia family's residence, Lin Yizhang discovered that there were many pharmacies on the outskirts, similar to the clinics in his previous life.

I learned from Ye Lingling that her family also runs a medicinal herb business, making money by treating patients and selling medicine.

From the very beginning of their family's lineage, they have relied on medical treatment combined with the healing properties of the Nine-Heart Begonia as their foundation.

Their Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul has a very strong healing ability, but it is passed down only once in a generation.

There are countless injured and sick people, and not just anyone can receive treatment from the owner of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.

In order to prevent those soul masters who could not receive treatment from causing trouble.

Their family came up with this solution.

Lin Yizhang couldn't help but sigh that this was truly killing two birds with one stone.

It can both generate income for the family and prevent those seeking treatment from becoming enemies due to lack of medical care.

Lin Yizhang was unaware that Ye Lingling's family was a family of doctors.

If he had known, he would have come to visit Ye Lingling's parents long ago.

After all, he really wanted to learn about pharmacology and develop elixirs that could aid in cultivation as soon as possible.

Upon entering the hall, Ye Lingling's parents were already there, handling their daily affairs.

Seeing Ye Lingling return, they happily walked over.

Ye Lingling's mother, Ye Xin, spoke first, teasingly saying, "Lingling, you haven't been home for a while. Did you not want to come home now that you've found a boyfriend?"

"No way! I've just been staying at the academy and working hard to cultivate." She said, throwing herself into her mother's arms.

Ye Lingling's father, Zhong Yun, also spoke up: "This young friend must be the genius soul master you mentioned, Lingling."

Lin Yizhang bowed and said, "Junior Lin Yizhang greets Uncle and Aunt. I dare not claim to be a genius soul master; I am merely a person with some talent."

Zhong Yun laughed and said, "Haha, Yi Zhang, you don't need to be so modest. You're not even ten years old and you've already reached level 26."

You're not even 12 years old yet, and you've already become a Soul Master. There aren't many Soul Masters above the Soul Master level on the continent.

Your future is limitless; it's entirely possible you'll become a Title Douluo someday.

Lin Yizhang respectfully said, "To be honest, Uncle, if nothing unexpected happens, I am 100% confident that I can cultivate to the level of Title Douluo before the age of 35."

Lin Yizhang felt he had to perform well, otherwise his two-timing scheme might fall through.

Zhong Yun laughed and said, "Oh, do you know that the higher the level of a Soul Master, the slower their cultivation speed?"

Even the youngest titled Douluo, Haotian Douluo, only reached the titled Douluo level at the age of 44.

Even if you have the innate talent of full soul power, you might not reach the title of Title Douluo before the age of 40.

Lin Yizhang said, "Uncle, I am a Soul Master with twin Martial Souls."

The second martial soul also provides a certain boost to my cultivation speed.

Moreover, I have never slacked off in my cultivation.

"I have both hard work and talent, so why is it impossible for me to surpass Haotian Douluo?"

Zhong Yun clapped and praised, "Yi Zhang, I have high hopes for you. I'm entrusting Ling Ling to your care from now on. You can't let my Ling Ling down."

Ye Xin nodded and said, "Yi Zhang, Lingling is the apple of my eye, and the Nine Heart Begonia family will eventually fall into her hands, so you can't bully her."

Lin Yizhang said solemnly, "Don't worry, Uncle and Aunt, I promise I will treat Lingling well in the future. Lingling is my precious child too."

Zhong Yun patted Lin Yizhang on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Haha, then I'm relieved."

Yizhang, Lingling told me you're an orphan, right? From now on, this will be your home.

"After we're gone, the family will be in your hands."

Lin Yizhang quickly said, "Uncle and Aunt, don't worry. Lingling will be the patriarch of the Nine Heart Begonia family in the future, and I will support her from behind."

Moreover, you might even have the opportunity to become a Title Douluo.

I'll need my parents' help taking care of Lingling's child then.

Ye Xin said, "We dare not hope to become a Title Douluo, but we can still take care of our grandson."

When are you and Lingling planning to have a child? Lingling is a support-type Soul Master, so her cultivation speed is naturally slower. Having a child and taking a year or two off won't cause much of a delay.

Lin Yizhang said awkwardly, "Uh... Auntie, let's wait another two years. Don't worry, Mom, Lingling and I will work hard and try our best not to keep you waiting too long."

Ye Lingling stomped her foot in embarrassment and indignation, saying, "Mom, what are you saying? If you say that again, I won't talk to you anymore."

Zhong Yun spoke up: "Yi Zhang, would you be interested in a soul battle with your uncle? Your uncle will suppress your level to the Great Soul Master level."

Lin Yizhang said, "Okay, I rarely have the opportunity to go all out."

This time, I want to go all out and test my true strength.

Uncle, you can adjust your strength as needed to fight, depending on the situation.

The two arrived at the Soul Battle Arena within the clan.

Zhong Yun dismissed everyone who was fighting spirits inside.

Now only four people remain: Zhong Yun, Ye Xin, Ye Lingling, and Lin Yizhang.
