Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 71 The Flower of Beloved

More than an hour later, the carriage slowly came to a stop in front of a luxurious mansion in Tianshui City.

Although the Shui family of Tianshui City is not large in number, the fact that they can produce an eight-ring Soul Douluo like Shui Yanyu shows that they are not a Soul Master family without any foundation.

Looking across the entire continent, the Shui family's strength is not among the top, and their inherited martial soul, the Frost Sparrow, is not considered a top-tier beast martial soul, so it cannot be regarded as powerful.

However, the Shui family is one of the top soul master families in Tianshui City. Even if the scope is expanded to the entire Stru Province, they are still among the top families.

In the spacious hall, Mu Yang and his two companions had just sat down when a middle-aged man and two middle-aged women who looked seven-tenths alike walked in.

As soon as the three entered the living room, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er stood up and called out, "Dad, Mom, Auntie (Big Aunt)."

"Bing'er, Yue'er, this must be little Mu Yang, right?"

Nodding, the two sisters' father, Shui Jinghong, looked at Mu Yang with a smile.

Even before this, Shui Jinghong had learned of Mu Yang's existence from his older sister, Shui Yanyu, and knew about Mu Yang's relationship with his eldest daughter. He even knew everything about Mu Yang's family background.

If it were anyone else, Shui Jinghong would be doing them a huge favor by not kicking them out directly; he would never have treated them with a smile.

After all, as a father, he naturally harbors hostility towards the fat pig who dares to covet his little cabbage.

But Mu Yang was different. It wasn't because of his innate full soul power, although that was something Shui Jinghong was satisfied with. What he valued more was that Mu Yang could join forces with his eldest daughter to activate the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

With the Martial Soul Fusion Skill in hand, as long as one's character is not bad, even the most discerning father-in-law would no longer harbor hostility.

Because the man and woman who can activate the Martial Soul Fusion Skill are recognized by the Soul Master world as a loving couple who will spend their lives together.

Ultimately, the old father's hostility towards his new son-in-law stemmed from his concern that the son-in-law wouldn't treat his daughter well.

However, Mu Yang has the Martial Soul Fusion Technique as his strongest guarantee in this regard.

"Greetings, Uncle and Aunts."

Mu Yang stepped forward and bowed.

To be fair, there's a reason why his future father-in-law can enjoy the blessings of having two wives.

Although it is common for powerful and influential people in mainland China to have multiple wives and concubines, putting aside family background and strength, Shui Jinghong is also a top choice in terms of appearance.

This can be seen from the fact that Shui Bing'er and her sister inherited more of their looks from Shui Jinghong.

"Xiaoyang, don't be shy, make yourself at home."

Shui Bing'er's mother, Si Yulan, said with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Seeing that his future father-in-law and mother-in-law were very friendly, Mu Yang smiled and nodded.

He said that a son-in-law as outstanding as him is one that you can't find another like him anywhere on the entire continent.

After chatting for a while, Shui Jinghong said to the two of them, "By the way, Bing'er, Xiaoyang, I heard from your aunt that you two can activate a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and even have two different forms. Can you show me?"

Aside from the combination of White Tiger and Netherworld Cat, there are very few examples of spirit fusion skills in the world of spirit masters on the mainland. Moreover, since it is the spirit fusion skill of his own eldest daughter, Shui Jinghong is extremely curious.

However, this is his eldest daughter's second spirit fusion skill. Could it be that the Ice Phoenix spirit, which mutated from the Frost Sparrow, is more likely to produce spirit fusion skills than other spirits?

Believe it or not, this idea wasn't just on Shui Jinghong's mind; Mu Yang had thought about it before as well.

There weren't many Martial Soul Fusion Techniques in the original work. The ones he still remembered were: Netherworld White Tiger, Polar Stillness Domain, Golden Sacred Dragon, Snowfall, Enchantress, Dragon-Snake Combination, Resurrection Light, and Coexistence of Two Gods.

Among these eight martial soul fusion skills, two are special.

The Resurrection Light and the Coexistence of Two Gods would not exist without the involvement of divine power.

Aside from these two special martial soul fusion skills, more than half of the remaining six martial soul fusion skills involve mutated martial souls.

In the realm of bipolar stillness, Ghost Douluo's Ghostly Martial Soul, which shares the same name as his own, is undoubtedly a mutated Martial Soul.

The Golden Sacred Dragon, Luo Sanpao (Yu Xiaogang's martial soul), and the Crimson Dragon martial soul of Liu Erlong were all mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.

If it's about ice and snow falling, then Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix is ​​a mutation of the Frost Sparrow martial soul.

Mutant martial souls account for half of the martial soul fusion skills. However, compared to normal martial souls, mutated martial souls are rare. If we only consider the probability, the possibility of mutated martial souls appearing in martial soul fusion skills is indeed much greater than that of normal martial souls.

Perhaps once a martial soul mutates, it always mutates towards becoming a 'perfect martial soul'.

However, due to the limitations of the Soul Master's own talent, the Martial Soul mutation is not perfect, and even becomes more inferior, with a certain obvious shortcoming.

In this way, compared with normal martial souls, mutated martial souls are more likely to find other martial souls that complement each other and can launch martial soul fusion skills.

Powerful martial souls like the Six-Winged Angel and the Sea God, originating from deities, are in a near-perfect state. It is almost impossible for a martial soul to complement them, which is why there have never been any cases of martial soul fusion skills for these powerful martial souls.

Although it has not been verified, Mu Yang felt that his guess was probably not wrong, or at least made some sense.

Mu Yang naturally wouldn't refuse when his father-in-law wanted to see his Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

To unleash the Martial Soul Fusion Technique in conjunction with Shui Bing'er, Mu Yang needed to release his Ice Flame Sacred Shadow Martial Soul, but he didn't hold back.

We're practically family now, why worry about people finding out about our twin martial souls? As long as it's not known to unrelated outsiders, it's fine.

Moreover, Shui Jinghong probably already knows from Shui Yanyu that he possesses twin martial souls.

After all, how could a father not want to know the details of his daughter finding a boyfriend?

Before long, Shui Jinghong dismissed the servants in the mansion and witnessed the two people's fusion skill of martial souls in two different forms in the backyard of the mansion.

Shui Jinghong's insights weren't just about looking; he also put them into practice.

This allowed Mu Yang to see his father-in-law's soul ring configuration: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black. Although he didn't know the specific soul power level, Shui Jinghong was undoubtedly a seven-ring control-type soul saint.

After the test, Shui Jinghong gave a very fair evaluation.

The future is expected!

Although Shui Jinghong could see that Mu Yang's soul power level and the lack of soul rings attached to his Ice Flame Sacred Shadow Martial Soul were hindering the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, otherwise the skill's power would be even stronger, he didn't care at all.

Mu Yang, who was just over nine years old, had a soul power level of 25, which was beyond his understanding of the speed of soul master cultivation. Even other soul masters with full innate soul power would not be this fast.

The reason he seemed to be holding back was simply because his eldest daughter had been cultivating for longer than Mu Yang.

Moreover, Mu Yang's talent for cultivation is much stronger than Shui Bing'er's, and this situation will naturally not continue indefinitely as his cultivation time increases.

What Shui Jinghong didn't know was that if he simply pursued higher soul power levels, Mu Yang's current soul power level could be even higher.

However, when he chose the immortal herbs, he did not choose other immortal herbs that could directly increase his soul power level after consumption. Instead, he chose the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom, which did not directly increase his soul power level after consumption, but had a higher compatibility with his two martial souls. Otherwise, Mu Yang would probably already be a three-ring Soul Master by now.

However, it was precisely because of his choice of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom that Mu Yang's two martial souls were able to undergo a transformation and evolution. Furthermore, the Ice Flame Sacred Shadow martial soul awakened its innate domain and even formed a martial soul fusion skill with Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix martial soul.

In the evening, Shui Jinghong and his wife celebrated Shui Bing'er's birthday at the restaurant.

Since it was Shui Bing'er's minor birthday, Shui Jing Hong didn't make a big fuss; the family just had a simple celebration together.

As for Shui Yanyu?

The Soul Master Competition was in full swing, and as the Dean of Tianshui Academy, she couldn't be absent. After making arrangements for Mu Yang, she returned to Tiandou City.

"By the way, Bing'er, where's Xuewu? Why didn't she come?"

Suddenly, Si Yulan remembered something important: why wasn't Xue Wu, who had a very good relationship with her daughter at Tianshui Academy and possessed the martial soul fusion skill "Frosty Snowfall"?

"Sister Xuewu took leave and went home a while ago."

Shui Bing'er explained.

"You took leave and went home? Did something happen?"

Si Yulan pressed for an answer.

Shui Bing'er shook her head: "She didn't say, she left in a hurry."

Upon hearing this, Si Yulan looked regretful, then pointed to the large cake on the table with thirteen small candles: "Come on, Bing'er, make a wish!"

"Um!"

Nodding, Shui Bing'er clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and silently made a birthday wish.

"Phew~"

After a long while, Shui Bing'er opened her eyes again and blew out all thirteen small candles on the cake in one breath.

"Sis, your birthday wish will definitely come true!"

"That's what Shuiyue'er said."

Shui Bing'er smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your blessing, Yue'er."

"Can you tell me what you wished for just now, sister?"

Shuiyue asked with a curious look.

"No, it won't work if you say it out loud."

Shui Bing'er glanced at Mu Yang beside her and refused without hesitation.

Besides wishing for her family's good health and significant improvement in their soul power cultivation, her birthday wishes were all related to Mu Yang, something she couldn't easily tell her sister.

"Oh, I see. So, sister, you don't want me anymore now that you have Muyang, right? I even prepared a birthday present for you!"

As she spoke, Shuiyue pouted, her face clearly saying, "Come and coax me."

"No way! Yue'er, you're my best little sister. And Yue'er, you can't think like that. Before, you had your parents, aunts, and uncles who doted on you, and from now on, Mu Yang and I will dote on you too."

Okay, hurry up and give me the gift you prepared!

Holding Mu Yang's hand with her left, Shui Bing'er reached out her right hand and patted Shui Yue'er's head.

"That's more like it."

With a smile returning to her face, Shui Yue'er took out an exquisite gift box from her storage soul tool and handed it to Shui Bing'er.

"Thank you, Yue'er!"

Shui Bing'er smiled and accepted the gift box.

Subsequently, Shui Jinghong, Si Yulan, and Si Yuzhu (Shui Yue'er's mother) also presented birthday gifts.

After thanking them one by one, Shui Bing'er turned to look at Mu Yang.

I wonder what Xiao Muyang will give me? I can't wait!

Shui Bing'er thought to herself.

It's not that she doesn't look forward to birthday gifts from her family, but rather that she especially looks forward to gifts from Mu Yang.

Happy birthday, Bing'er.

With a smile, Mu Yang took out the jade box containing the Acacia Heartbreak Red from his soul guide storage bracelet.

"Mmm~"

Shui Bing'er happily accepted the jade box from Mu Yang and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek.

"Me too! Me too!"

Before Mu Yang could react, Shui Bing'er, who had received Mu Yang's gift, returned the kiss. Shui Yue'er immediately objected, pointing to her cheek and speaking to her older sister.

"Alright, alright, Yue'er has one too."

She smiled and gave her a kiss.

"Sister, aren't you going to open it and take a look?"

Seeing that Shui Bing'er quickly put all five gifts into her storage soul tool, Shui Yue'er asked.

"No, I need to go back to my room before I look at it."

This time, Shui Bing'er did not agree to Shui Yue'er's request.

She had no idea what Mu Yang had prepared beforehand. If the gift had something written on it that only lovers could say, how embarrassing would it be to open it in front of her parents and aunt?

After eating cake and having dinner, Shui Bing'er couldn't wait to return to her bedroom.

On the desk in the bedroom, Shui Bing'er looked at the four exquisite gift boxes and a jade box placed in front of her.

Without hesitation, Shui Bing'er left the birthday gift from Mu Yang until last, and started unpacking the other four gifts first.

A small ice phoenix hair clip, an ice phoenix crystal sculpture with outstretched wings, a gorgeous blue crystal necklace, and a fluffy teddy bear.

Yes, the fluffy bear doll was a gift from Shuiyue'er.

With her eyes half-closed and a satisfied nod, Shui Bing'er put away the four gifts.

Although the four gifts weren't particularly valuable, she liked them very much.

"Hmm~, the jade box isn't big, but it's very heavy. Could it be filled with iron?"

Shui Bing'er weighed the jade box in her hand and muttered to herself.

However, the moment the jade box was opened, Shui Bing'er's gaze was immediately drawn to it.

It was a white flower about the size of a palm, without any leaves. Its stem was connected to a jet-black stone. On the white flower were several striking red spots, as red as blood, giving it a somewhat breathtaking appearance.

Shui Bing'er was certain that this was the first time she had ever seen a flower that resembled a peony, but for some reason, at first glance, she subconsciously felt that this flower was no ordinary thing and could not be compared to common flowers and plants.

"Huh, there's another note?"

Suddenly, Shui Bing'er noticed a note inside the jade box and immediately picked it up to examine it.

"Is this flower called 'Lovesick Heartbreak Red,' requiring the blood of true love to recognize its master?"

After reading the love legend and conditions for recognizing the lover of the Acacia Heartbreak Red that Mu Yang had written on the note, Shui Bing'er turned to look at the bedroom wall behind her and blushed.

On the other side of this wall is another room, and Mu Yang is staying there tonight.

Without much hesitation, she picked up the Acacia Heartbreak Red petal, circulated her soul power, and urged her blood and qi. Shui Bing'er parted her cherry lips slightly and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the petals that seemed to be already stained with blood.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er's mind was filled with the image of Mu Yang.

Although the two hadn't known each other for very long, and their relationship was still very short, and there wasn't even a passionate love story, only a rather ordinary and warm daily life, the magic of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill made them fall deeply in love with each other.

Since you're destined to be together, and you already have feelings for each other, what's there to hesitate about? Just follow your heart, cast aside all your worries, and throw yourself into it wholeheartedly.

Because of this love, it was destined to be beautiful the moment the Martial Soul Fusion Skill appeared.

Blood fell on the petals, and the Acacia Heartbreak Red petal swayed slightly before quietly detaching from the Black Stone at its base and falling into Shui Bing'er's hand.

Setting down the heavy Black Stone, Shui Bing'er carefully examined the Acacia Heartbreak Red after it recognized her as its master.

She discovered that the appearance of the Acacia 'Heartbreak Red' had changed. After recognizing its owner, it was no longer the white flower that looked like it was stained with blood, but a magnificent and vibrant flower with a golden-red hue.

"So beautiful~"

As she gazed at him, Shui Bing'er's eyes became somewhat dazed.

The following morning, Mu Yang and his two companions returned to Tianshui Academy.

"Sister, look at you, you're laughing so hard you're practically doubled over!"

Inside the carriage, seeing her older sister frequently staring at Mu Yang and grinning foolishly, Shui Yue'er couldn't help but complain.

"Really? Or probably not?"

Coming to her senses, Shui Bing'er immediately denied it.

"I said I have one, so I have one! By the way, Muyang, what gift did you give my sister? She's gone crazy."

Nodding earnestly, Shuiyue asked Muyang.

Mu Yun smiled and said, "Ask Bing'er."

Upon hearing this, Shui Yue'er turned to look at Shui Bing'er.

"It's a flower!"

It wasn't a gift that would be embarrassing to talk about, so Shui Bing'er didn't hide it.

"A flower? I see!"

Raising an eyebrow, Shui Yue'er nodded in sudden realization.

"What do you know?"

Shui Bing'er looked puzzled.

"Everyone says 'love-struck brain,' and today I finally understand what 'love-struck brain' really means."

Shui Yue'er said with a teasing expression.

It's just a flower. No matter how beautiful it is, it doesn't deserve such a silly grin, does it? Isn't this just being love-struck?

"It's not an ordinary flower; it's very special."

Shui Bing'er shook her head.

In Shui Bing'er's opinion, the poignant love story of the Acacia Heartbreak Red and its characteristic of requiring the blood of true love to recognize its master are enough to make her remember this birthday gift from Mu Yang for a lifetime.

Because in the eyes of a girl in love, the love-struck red flower she has chosen as her master is the symbol of her love!

I can't be bothered with you!

Shuiyue rolled her eyes and stopped talking.

Special? No matter how special a flower is, how special can it be? It's impossible for just one glance to increase your soul power level, right?

Undoubtedly, Shui Bing'er's description of something as "very special" was interpreted by Shui Yue'er as a result of her romantic infatuation.

That's right, flowers from your boyfriend are special, aren't they? What makes them special? Because they're from your boyfriend!

After returning to the academy, Shui Yue'er went to the "Sea Area Mimicry Training Ground" to cultivate, while Mu Yang stopped Shui Bing'er, who was about to go with him to the "Snow Mountain Mimicry Training Ground" on the mountaintop.

"What's wrong?"

Shui Bing'er was somewhat puzzled.

"Bing'er, the surprise I'm giving you goes beyond what you see and know."

Mu Yang said with a smile.

"How so?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er became interested.

"You'll find out soon enough, let's go!"

With that, Mu Yang pulled Shui Bing'er back to the villa.

Upon reaching the second floor and entering Shui Bing'er's room, Mu Yang closed the door and said, "Bing'er, bring out that Acacia Heartbreak Red."

"Oh~"

Nodding, Shui Bing'er took out the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Yang taught Shui Bing'er how to take the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

"Muyang, are we really going to eat it?"

Looking at the vibrant, luscious red flower in her hand, a symbol of her love for Mu Yang, Shui Bing'er felt an overwhelming sense of reluctance.

It would be such a waste to just eat a gift that's worth remembering for a lifetime.

Mu Yang nodded solemnly: "That's right! Only after taking it can the Lovesick Heartbreak Red exert its true power."

Although the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red has the effect of protecting its master after recognizing its master, and can also have a great restraining effect on plant-type martial soul masters, in Mu Yang's opinion, these two effects are far less important than the improvement in talent potential and soul power brought about by taking it.

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er stopped worrying and sat cross-legged on the sofa in the bedroom, taking the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red according to the instructions given by Mu Yang.

The Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red was a gift from Mu Yang. Since Mu Yang made her take it, he must have his reasons.

As the Acacia Heartbreak Red entered her abdomen, the red herbal power almost burst forth from her body, enveloping Shui Bing'er entirely.

As the medicinal power refined, the soul power emanating from Shui Bing'er's body grew stronger and stronger. Furthermore, under the continuous cleansing effect of the Acacia Heartbreak Red medicine, almost earth-shattering changes began to occur within her body.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er felt as if she were in a hot spring, feeling indescribably comfortable all over.

Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was already evening.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er's refining process was nearing its end, and her soul power aura was gradually stabilizing.

"Muyang, why isn't my sister ready yet?"

Having already returned, Shuiyue'er, who was also guarding the side, asked Muyang in a low voice.

"It'll be soon! Don't worry, Yue'er, Bing'er will be fine."

With a slight wave of his hand, Mu Yang said something.

"I sense that my sister's soul power has increased significantly. What's going on?"

Shuiyue asked with a curious look.

"Want to know?"

Mu Yang asked with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

"Ask Bing'er again when she wakes up."

Shuiyue'er: "."

After another quarter of an hour, the soul power emanating from Shui Bing'er's body completely stabilized, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Bing'er, how are you?"

Upon seeing this, Mu Yang immediately stepped forward and asked.

"Mu Yang, am I dreaming?"

Feeling the surge of soul power within her body, Shui Bing'er said with some confusion.

Before this, she had only been a three-ring Soul Master for a short time, and her Soul Power level was only 33. But after consuming this Acacia Heartbreak Red, if she didn't feel anything was wrong, it seemed that she had already reached the 40th level Quasi-Soul Master.
