Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 25 'The House is Haunted'

Afterwards, Mu Yang began to carefully test the defensive strength of the thin membrane of soul power on his body.

"Indeed, even in terms of defensive strength alone, this Soul Light Protection Technique should be comparable to a second-ring defensive soul skill."

After a long period of experimentation, Mu Yang nodded in satisfaction.

Defensive Secret Technique: Soul Light Protection, prepared by Mu Yang specifically for a certain stage of the subsequent "Immortal Herb Project".

However, the most important function of this secret method is not to resist attacks and damage, but to isolate the inside from the outside, and it also has extremely strong resistance to poison and corrosion.

During his previous trip to Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo owed his uncle a favor in order to explore the secret of the super-limited soul ring.

In Mu Yang's view, it was a calculated move, and since Dugu Bo was unaware of the true value of the immortal herbs, as long as he could persuade Huo Lie to exchange this favor for the many immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, Dugu Bo would certainly not refuse.

Even the hospitable Dugu Bo waved his hand and said that people could pick herbs and such as they wanted, and the favor would still be effective.

Dugu Bo: It's just a few herbs. There are plenty in the herb garden. Do you think my favors are so cheap?

Although Mu Yang knew that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well nurtured many celestial herbs, he was undoubtedly a novice in this field. In addition, there were countless rare flowers and herbs growing in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. How to accurately find and harvest the celestial herbs without damaging their medicinal properties was a problem that was currently troubling him.

Fortunately, besides Tang San, there are many other Soul Masters in the continental Soul Master world who have a good understanding of immortal herbs, such as Yue Guan and Yang Wudi.

Without much thought, Mu Yang set his sights on Yang Wudi of the Broken Clan.

After all, compared to Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall, Yang Wudi and the Breaking Clan are not as strong, making them easier to deal with.

But Yang Wudi certainly wouldn't pass on his knowledge of immortal herbs for no reason. Besides, the Po Clan isn't some nobody; they can't be controlled just because of the name of the Blazing Fire Academy.

Therefore, Mu Yang decided to make a fair deal with Yang Wudi.

The bargaining chips he prepared were the actual effects of the whale glue and the special secret technique he had just deduced: Soul Light Protection.

Since the Clear Sky Sect was forced into seclusion by the Spirit Hall, the four single-attribute families, including the Breaking Clan, which were originally affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect, have had a difficult time.

The Po clan is skilled in alchemy, and thanks to this skill, they can make a decent living, at least financially.

However, since it involves alchemy, it inevitably involves contact with poisonous herbs. No matter how thorough the protective measures are, there will always be times when oversights occur.

Common poisonous herbs are fine; even if there's a minor mistake, it can be salvaged in time. But if it's a highly poisonous herb, it could be fatal.

In view of this, Mu Yang, eager to help others, specifically devised this secret technique of soul light protection that can isolate the body from the outside world.

Although even if one practices the Soul Light Protection Technique, it cannot guarantee that a Soul Master will be immune to the corrosive effects of toxins when refining all highly poisonous herbs, it is applicable in most cases.

With these two bargaining chips in hand, Mu Yang was 80% confident that he could persuade Yang Wudi to share his knowledge about immortal-grade medicinal herbs with him.

After all, for the Po clan, knowledge of immortal herbs was not their foundation, so giving it to Mu Yang would not have resulted in any real loss.

The reason Mu Yang rushed to deduce the Soul Light Protection Technique was that he knew that after Huo Yun was given a Soul Ring with an age limit exceeding the limit, the effects of the Whale Glue would soon be revealed. If he delayed his transaction with Yang Wudi, he would lose one more bargaining chip.

"So, the question is, how should I bring this up?"

The secret method has been deduced, and the transaction is practically ready except for the final step, but Mu Yang is once again in a state of distress.

After lying in bed and racking his brains for a long time, Mu Yang finally came up with two words: fill in the blanks.

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly. Just bring up a topic, state what you want to do, what your purpose is, and what resources you have. That's enough.

As for the rest, a brilliant mind will fill in the rest for you, and all he needs to do is say, "Yes, yes, you're right."

The next day, before dawn, Mu Yang, who had stayed up most of the night, got up early.

After recording the Soul Light Protection Technique that he had deduced last night, Mu Yang called Huo Lie, Mu Xiyue, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Wu to his bedroom.

Seeing Mu Yang closing doors and pulling windows in a mysterious manner, Huo Lie and the other three couldn't help but show curiosity.

"Xiaoyang, why are you being so secretive?"

Mu Xiyue couldn't help but ask.

"You might not believe it, but my room was haunted last night!"

With the curtains drawn, Mu Yang began his performance.

"Hmm, your house is haunted. And then? Did a beautiful female ghost kidnap you? Could that be the real reason you look so weak to the bone?"

Immediately, Huo Wu nodded seriously, then said with a mocking expression.

Mu Yang: "."

"Sis, I'm talking about serious business!"

Mu Yang glared at Huo Wu, annoyed.

Huo Wu covered her mouth and chuckled, "Okay, okay, you go ahead, we're listening!"

"I can't be bothered with you! I had a dream last night that someone wanted me to do something for them."

The strange thing is that, in the past, when I had dreams, although I would have some impression of the dreams after waking up, I could never remember them clearly, and...

As he spoke, Mu Yang paused.

"And what?"

Huo Wushuang interrupted with a question.

"When I woke up from my dream, this was inexplicably on my pillow."

Walking to the bedside table, Mu Yang handed the four of them several pages of paper covered with writing.

Seeing this, Huo Lie raised an eyebrow and reached out to take the paper that Mu Yang handed over.

His gaze fell on the paper in his hand, and Huo Lie saw the four large characters "Soul Light Protection" come into view.

After a quick glance, Huo Lie discovered that what was recorded here seemed to be a self-created defensive technique. Wait a minute, why does it seem familiar?

Suddenly, Huo Lie's thoughts returned to two years ago, to the book "Extreme Flame Meditation Method" that he had accidentally obtained from Sunset Forest. It seemed that apart from the different contents recorded, there was not much difference between it and the "Soul Light Protection" he had now.

Even their handwriting is extremely similar, neat and proper. If there were a written grading system, he could give them full marks!

Well, this has absolutely nothing to do with the "Extreme Flame Meditation Method" giving him hope of becoming a nine-ring Title Douluo in the future.

Immediately, Huo Lie's gaze towards Mu Yang was filled with a strange look.
