Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 5 Prelude to the Soul Hunt

Putting away the soul bone, which he knew he would likely never use again, Mu Yang fell into deep thought.

There's a saying, "When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." Although this saying might not sound very pleasant to older cousin Huo Wu, that's exactly what Mu Yang thought.

Although his aunt Mu Xiyue and the other three were not his blood relatives, they were still his closest relatives besides his parents.

In addition, his parents died early and raised him for many years, so his aunt Mu Xiyue and uncle Huo Lie undoubtedly played the role of his parents.

Perhaps he can't be completely kind to them, but if he can help, he definitely will.

The four practiced ordinary meditation methods, and since they all possessed fire-attribute martial souls, Mu Yang did not intend to keep the "Extreme Flame Meditation Method" he had deduced completely secret.

Uncle Huo Lie, as the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, has already advanced to the level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo. Otherwise, if his level is not eight rings, he would not be qualified to be the dean of the Elemental Academy. If he has the help of the Extreme Flame Meditation Method, he will likely become a titled Douluo, revered by tens of thousands of people on the continent, within ten years.

At that time, he, who had not yet fully matured, would have a powerful backer.

Moreover, the Soul Beast Forest is not a safe place. Having a Title Douluo lead him in soul hunting not only makes him safer, but will also be a great help when he needs to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the future.

The problem is, how should he present this "Extreme Flame Meditation Method" to them, or in what way should he do it?

You can't exactly say that he created it himself, can you?

After thinking for a long time without coming up with a good idea, Mu Yang decided to first record the "Extreme Flame Meditation Method" and then find a good opportunity to give it to them later.

Of course, if you really can't find it, then let a windfall fall from the sky and let Huo Wu take it home.

Since his older cousin Huo Wu's big red hands could "awaken" an incredible innate full soul power and twin martial souls for him, it's not incomprehensible that he would find a mysterious meditation method, right?

The next morning, Mu Yang got ready to go and, together with Huo Lie, boarded a carriage and left Blazing Fire City, heading towards Sunset Forest, more than two hundred miles to the north.

Within the Heaven Dou Empire, excluding the East and West Seas, there are three extremely large primeval soul beast forests.

One is the Starry Sky Forest, located in the southeast of the Empire, stretching between the Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

The second is the far north, located in the northern part of the empire, which is covered by ice and snow all year round.

The third is Sunset Forest, located in the north-central part of the empire, a hundred miles east of the imperial capital, Tiandou City.

Although Sunset Forest is not as large as Star Dou Great Forest and the Far North, it still covers a considerable area. Its southeastern part borders Huttonmar Province, where Blazing Fire City is located. In addition, Blazing Fire City is located in the northwest corner of Huttonmar Province. Most Soul Masters in the surrounding areas who need to add Soul Rings to advance will give priority to hunting Souls in Sunset Forest, which is rich in Soul Beast species.

Of course, those who dare to go to Sunset Forest to hunt souls are basically led by high-level soul masters.

If it's just a Soul Hunting team with a low overall level, they would usually only go to the Soul Hunting Forest, which is kept by the Empire, more than 400 miles south of Blazing Fire City, to avoid being unlucky and encountering a Soul Beast with considerable age and cultivation, thus suffering a setback.

"Xiao Yang, what effect do you want for the first soul skill of your ginseng martial soul?"

Inside the carriage, Huo Lie asked Mu Yang.

As the dean of Blazing Academy, Huo Lie may not be considered a famous scholar, but his knowledge of martial souls and soul beasts far surpasses that of most soul masters in the soul master world. Instead of asking Mu Yang what kind of soul beast soul ring he planned to attach for advancement, he directly asked Mu Yang what kind of soul skill he wanted.

With his knowledge, as long as Mu Yang specified the type of soul skill he wanted, he could immediately determine what kind of soul ring should be attached.

Of course, under normal circumstances, a Soul Master's first Soul Ring is at most around four hundred years old, and it is impossible for it to form an overly outrageous Soul Skill.

"A soul skill that can heal injuries or restore soul power."

Without hesitation, Mu Yang spoke directly.

As a food-type Soul Master, creating Soul Power food with healing properties is essential.

Soul-power-restoring food can help improve the efficiency of his innate ability: deduction.

This is because soul-power foods, whose main function is to restore soul power, often also have the effect of restoring mental power, just as soul-power foods that heal injuries usually also have the effect of restoring physical strength.

Food-type Soul Masters can create food that restores Soul Power, and after consuming it, they can restore more Soul Power than they have consumed. This does not conform to the law of conservation of energy.

It seems contradictory on the surface, but that's not actually the case.

The energy source of a Soul Master's Soul Skill is divided into two parts: one part is the Soul Power consumed by the Soul Master when activating the Soul Skill, and the other part is the external energy of heaven and earth that is mobilized when the Soul Skill is activated.

Moreover, for food-type Soul Masters, the proportion of the energy of heaven and earth that is leveraged by Soul Skills is greater than that of Soul Skills for other types of Soul Masters.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to manufacture something like Oscar's Diamond Intestine, which can restore half of his soul power, physical strength, and mental strength, and can fully restore more than half of his soul power under the blessing of his Martial Soul True Form: Firm Golden Fly state.

"To heal injuries or restore soul power?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Lie raised an eyebrow and then nodded.

Low-age spirit rings are generally not able to form spirit skills with very powerful effects, so it's better to save them for food spirit skills that heal injuries or restore spirit power.

After all, even if the soul ring is a bit low in age, the effects of these two types of soul power food will not be too bad. However, if it is replaced with soul power food that can increase the percentage of attributes after consumption, the actual effect will be less than ideal.

After a pause, Huo Lie continued, "Xiao Yang, for healing injuries, it's best to choose a ginseng soul beast or an earth dragon soul beast of the appropriate age. For restoring soul power, the Cooling Flower is the most suitable."

Needless to say, the ginseng spirit beast is of the same race as Mu Yang's ginseng martial spirit.

In the Douluo Continent, ordinary plants can become soul beasts, and ginseng can certainly do so as well.

Moreover, compared to most soul beasts, these highly nourishing "food-type soul beasts" also possess considerable value, making them very popular among wealthy nobles.

The Earth Dragon Soul Beast isn't actually a soul beast with dragon blood. In Mu Yang's previous life, it was called an earthworm. Among soul beasts under a thousand years old, disregarding size, the Earth Dragon Soul Beast has one of the best vitality and is relatively easy to find in the forest.

As for the Cooling Flower, it is a support-type flower-like plant-type soul beast that possesses the innate soul skill of restoring soul power.
