Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 81 Shuiyue'er: My sister and I seem to be...

"We both consumed the immortal herb, so why are you two leveling up faster than me?"

At this moment, Shuiyue'er said to the two of them with a resentful expression.

She still remembered that a year and a half ago, when the Soul Master Competition opened, she and Mu Yang were both level 25 Great Soul Masters, while her older sister Shui Bing'er was a level 33 Soul Venerable.

After consuming the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, she gained an additional eight levels of soul power. As a result, she is now a level 43 Soul Master, while her older sister is already a level 49 Soul Master at the peak, and is about to break through to level 50.

It is foreseeable that once the older sister advances to the fifth-ring Soul King, her Soul Power level will most likely remain the same as when she advanced to the fourth ring, increasing by two levels to reach the level 52 Soul King. At that time, the difference between their Soul Power levels will be nine levels, which is one level more than the original eight-level difference, and this is even after advancing by two major levels.

Wasn't it supposed to be that the speed of a Soul Master's cultivation and leveling up would slow down as they progressed, and that the original level gap would narrow due to the increased difficulty of leveling up in the later stages? How come it has actually widened further?

Besides, it's one thing to be unable to surpass my sister, but why is Mu Yang catching up with me?

Mu Yang is currently level 40, and his third soul ring is ten thousand years old. Therefore, the age of his fourth soul ring will definitely be more than ten thousand years. After advancing, he will be guaranteed to reach level 42, and most likely even level 43 Soul Master.

You should know that Mu Yang had already taken the immortal herb, and according to what she learned from Mu Yang, this thing cannot be taken in excess. In other words, Mu Yang cannot cheat by taking the immortal herb again.

They were both at the starting point of level 25 Great Soul Master. She took the Narcissus Jade Bone and gained an extra eight levels of soul power. How could she be caught up? Was she too useless? Or was Mu Yang abnormal?

What Shuiyue'er didn't know was that although Muyang hadn't been able to take the immortal herbs again, he had also "cheated" by secretly refining a 100,000-year-old soul bone, which boosted his soul power by five levels. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to catch up with Shuiyue'er, who had also taken the immortal herbs, in such a short time.

Of all those who clearly know about this matter, only Shui Bing'er knows the details; even Shui Yanyu doesn't know much about it.

Shui Yanyu could see that something was wrong with Mu Yang; his soul power level had increased dramatically in a short period of time. However, this was clearly a personal secret, and she wouldn't ask any further questions.

Of course, it's not to say that Mu Yang cultivated three more levels of soul power than Shui Yue'er in the same amount of time. If we're being precise and accurate to the decimal point, it's actually only about one level.

After all, even though the effects of celestial herbs are strong, there are always limitations. The improvement in Mu Yang's cultivation talent brought about by the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Blazing Apricot Blossom was actually less than the improvement in Shui Yue'er's cultivation talent brought about by the Narcissus Jade Bone.

For example, if Ning Fengzhi were given 100 million gold soul coins, he would still be the same Ning Fengzhi who spends money like water, and there wouldn't be much change, because the Great Sect Master Ning is already very rich.

However, if this 100 million gold soul coins were given to Bai He, the poor Bai He would immediately become a tycoon, and living a happy life like Ning Fengzhi, who often rescues fallen young ladies, would be no problem at all.

The reason Mu Yang was able to close the gap of about three levels of soul power between him and Shui Yue'er, which was caused by external factors, was mainly because the soul ring he acquired during his advancement was much older than Shui Yue'er's.

Shui Yue'er's third soul ring, which was around 5,000 years old, and her fourth soul ring, which was a little over 10,000 years old, only increased her soul power by about two levels.

When Mu Yang advanced to the third-ring Soul Master and later the fourth-ring Soul Grandmaster, he was able to increase his Soul Power by about three levels due to his extremely high tolerance for Soul Rings. Just two Soul Rings were enough to make up for the difference of about two levels of Soul Power. The remaining difference of about one level of Soul Power was made up by his own true abilities.

Yes, Shui Yue'er's fourth spirit ring is also ten thousand years old.

Whale glue can only improve physical fitness, and it is not enough on its own. But since she is his sister-in-law, Mu Yang taught her the "Taiyin Refining Spirit".

However, because Shui Yue'er was only his sister-in-law, and even sooner rather than later, Mu Yang did not give her the complete book. He only gave her the first and second levels of "Taiyin Refining God," and the upper limit of the spiritual power cultivation of the technique was the level of an ordinary level 60 Soul Master.

As soon as Shui Yue'er finished speaking, Shui Bing'er looked surprised and then reached out and placed her hand on Shui Yue'er's forehead.

"Uh~, what are you doing, sister?"

Shuiyue shook her head in resistance.

"You don't have a fever either?"

Feeling the temperature of Shui Yue'er's forehead, Shui Bing'er's eyes showed a look of confusion.

Shuiyue'er: "."

She's perfectly fine, how could she possibly have a fever?

Moreover, with Mu Yang around, any illness can be easily resolved with a dose of Huangyu Detoxifying Ginseng.

"Don't be so greedy. You're only 13 years old this year, and you've already cultivated to level 43 Soul Master. What more could you want?"

Shui Bing'er tapped Shui Yue'er's head and gave her instructions as if she were an elder.

At the age of 13, he cultivated to the level of 43 Soul Master. Even ordinary geniuses with full innate soul power could not do that. Yet his own younger sister complained that his cultivation speed was not as fast as hers and Mu Yang's.

Indeed, people are inherently greedy. Once they achieve the good life they've always dreamed of, they'll yearn for an even better one.

"Hehe~, compared to you and Muyang, I seem quite inferior, don't I? Yeah, you're the best, sister!"

Shui Yue'er lowered her head and nuzzled Shui Bing'er, hugging her arm and acting coquettishly.

"Moon, am I not good enough?"

Mu Yang asked.

"Brother-in-law, you're the best too!"

Thinking of her current achievements, Shui Yue'er felt that the Narcissus Jade Bone plant had played an indispensable role, and could even be considered the biggest contributor. Moreover, the Narcissus Jade Bone plant was given to her by Mu Yang, so Shui Yue'er said without hesitation.

"Bing'er is the best, and I'm the best too, so who is truly the best between us?"

Mu Yang said with a smile.

"Well, brother-in-law, you're the best!"

After hesitating for a moment, Shuiyue'er ultimately leaned towards Muyang. There was no way around it; that Narcissus Jade Skin was just too fragrant.

If her older sister hadn't already made her move, she might have offered herself to him directly, right? After all, Mu Yang is so handsome, so talented, and so good to her.

No, not maybe, but definitely and certainly!

Huh? My aunt and mom are both dad's wives, so it seems like my sister and I are too.

"Pah, pah, pah! Little Muyang belongs to my older sister, I can't think like that!"

Shui Yue'er couldn't help but curse herself inwardly.

She told herself she shouldn't think that way, but this strange thought took root in Shuiyue'er's mind.

At this moment, Shui Bing'er, who couldn't read minds, had no idea what Shui Yue'er was thinking. She rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Yue'er, it seems I've spoiled you for nothing!"

Even though her brother-in-law is probably fine, why does he sound so infuriating? Her sister is hopeless; whoever wants her should come and take her away right now.

At this moment, Mu Yang stepped forward and took Shui Bing'er's hand, then turned to Shui Yue'er and said, "Yue'er, this is how you should have answered that question."

Whether it's my older sister or my brother-in-law, they are both the best, because although Bing'er and I are two people, we are one, inseparable.

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er's eyes immediately sparkled.

Shuiyue'er: "."

Well, they're at it again, showing off their love.

The next morning, Shui Yanyu took Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er by carriage to the Star Dou Great Forest in the central part of the continent to hunt for souls.

The purpose of this trip is to add a fourth soul ring to Mu Yang and to help Shui Bing'er break through the bottleneck of the peak level of 49 through training.

Because Mu Yang has an extremely high tolerance for spirit rings, his fourth spirit ring can reach an age of about 30,000 years.

Although Sunset Forest is known as one of the three major gathering places of soul beasts on the continent, its scale is undoubtedly far smaller than that of Star Dou Great Forest and the far north, and the overall quality of the soul beasts living in it is far inferior to the other two.

Even though a 30,000-year-old soul beast isn't considered a high-level soul beast, it's still quite rare in Sunset Forest.

Generally speaking, the level of a Soul Master who goes to Sunset Forest to hunt for Souls and advance will not exceed level 50.

According to the optimal ratio of spirit rings, the sixth spirit ring is about 20,000 years old. Once the spirit power level reaches level 60, few spirit masters will go to Sunset Forest to hunt for spirits and advance. Spirit masters at this level will be more inclined to go to Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirits and advance.

After all, the species of soul beasts in Sunset Forest are not as abundant as those in Star Dou Great Forest, so it is not certain that you can find a soul beast that is 20,000 years old or older that suits your taste.

Therefore, this time, the three of them would no longer choose Sunset Forest, which was closer to Tianshui Academy, but rather the more distant Star Dou Great Forest.

After traveling by carriage for more than ten days, the three of them finally arrived at the Soul Hunter Town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest as night was about to fall.

After getting off the carriage, Shui Yanyu glanced at the Soul Hunter Town ahead and turned to Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er, saying, "Xiao Yang, Bing'er, let's rest in the town for the night and go into the forest tomorrow."

"Um."

Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er nodded.

After traveling by carriage for more than ten days, even though the Soul Masters were in good physical condition, the two were still a little tired. In addition, it was getting late, so they really needed to get a good night's rest before they could be too tired to stay awake in the forest.

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first."

With a shout, Shui Yanyu took the lead and headed towards the Soul Hunter Town ahead, followed by Mu Yang and the other two.

Upon entering the town, Mu Yang found it to be much more lively than he had imagined.

Although the Soul Hunter Town is not large, it is like a small town except for the lack of city walls. The streets, which are not very wide, are lined with shops of all kinds.

However, apart from accommodation and food, most of these shops are related to Soul Masters, such as weapons and armor, antidotes and recovery potions, and even special adventure clothing with many pockets that can hold a lot of miscellaneous items.

Don't think that Soul Masters don't need weapons and armor. That only applies to high-level Soul Masters. For low-level Soul Masters, a well-made piece of armor is no less valuable than having an extra defensive Soul Skill, and it doesn't consume Soul Power. It's just a bit tiring to wear.
