Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!
Chapter 2, Second Martial Soul: Ghost Blood?
"Girl, Su girl."
Before they even reached Lin Yang's house, the village chief Taren's booming voice could already be heard for two miles.
With a creak, the wooden door, its original color now unrecognizable due to peeling paint, opened, and an elderly woman with a full head of silver hair stepped out.
This is Lin Yang's grandmother, Susie.
"Grandma," Lin Yang quickly stepped forward and skillfully helped Susie up.
Susie has difficulty walking, so Lin Yang always goes to the Spirit Hall alone.
"Xiaoyang, how did it go?"
As soon as Susie finished speaking, Taren, who was standing next to her, couldn't wait to say something.
"Su Meizi, you can enjoy your life at home from now on. Xiao Yang has awakened innate soul power, and it's level five! Level five! He can at least become a Soul Master."
Taren held up five fingers, his voice trembling, clearly from excitement.
Susie looked incredulous until Lin Yang nodded, at which point she finally believed that her grandson had actually become a Soul Master.
For people from humble backgrounds like them, becoming a Soul Master was an incredible honor, bringing glory to their ancestors.
"Good, good, good, I knew Xiao Yang would amount to something."
"Oh, right, Su Meizi," Taren quickly introduced Su Yuntao.
"This is Master Su Yuntao, who awakened Xiao Yang's martial soul. He wants to take Xiao Yang to the Spirit Hall. What do you think?"
"Ah...this..."
Although she was very reluctant, Susie decided to make the difficult decision for the sake of her grandson's future.
Just as she was about to speak, Lin Yang suddenly said,
"I'm not leaving. Grandma is old, and I don't want to be too far away from her."
"Xiaoyang, I..."
"Grandma, please listen to me this time," Lin Yang reassured her.
"My innate soul power isn't high. There are so many geniuses in the Spirit Hall, I definitely won't get any attention. I might as well go to the junior soul master academy first and make some plans after I've grown a bit."
Seeing that Lin Yang's words were reasonable and well-founded, Susie suddenly felt that her grandson seemed to have matured.
"This..." Taren subconsciously looked at Su Yuntao beside him, afraid that he would be angry.
"It was I who was presumptuous."
Su Yuntao wasn't annoyed at all. On the contrary, he felt that although Lin Yang was young, he was very thoughtful and said...
"Here's what we'll do. I'll issue you a Martial Soul Certificate. You can take the certificate and report to the Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy in three months. We'll use the work-study student quota from your village."
The reason for giving the job to Lin Yang as a work-study student was because they saw that Lin Yang's family was not well-off.
"Alright, alright, Master Su, please rest assured," Taren quickly replied.
Lin Yang also bowed slightly: "Thank you, Master Su!"
Su Yuntao personally issued a Martial Soul Certificate, left his own Martial Soul Imprint, handed it to Lin Yang, offered some encouragement, and then left Red Maple Village.
"Su Meizi, you and Xiaoyang should live well together during this time. School is about to start, and I'll have someone take Xiaoyang to Nottingham City."
Susie nodded: "Thank you, Village Chief."
"Hey, what's the big deal?" Taren waved his hand, then looked at Lin Yang with a kind expression.
"Xiao Yang is the only genius with soul power in our Red Maple Village in decades. The future of our village depends on him."
The saying "When one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" is extremely common in the world of Douluo Continent.
After giving a few instructions, Taren turned and left.
After helping Susie back to the room, Susie lit incense for her husband and mumbled something in a low voice.
Lin Yang didn't disturb them and quietly left before returning to his room.
Sitting on his bed, Lin Yang slowly raised his left hand, a flash of blood disappearing in an instant.
As the light condensed, a drop of bright red, even somewhat bewitching blood appeared on the little hand.
"How is this possible? This is..." Lin Yang's eyes darkened, and his voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Demon blood?"
Indeed, Lin Yang's second martial soul is actually the blood of the Ghost King.
"Could it be around that time...?"
Lin Yang's mind was racing.
During the final moments of the decisive battle, he was wounded by Muzan's flesh thorns, and perhaps at that time, he already had a small amount of Muzan's blood in his body.
Muzan probably wanted to turn him into a demon, but unfortunately he died too quickly.
The ghost blood not only failed to work, but also underwent some kind of mutation.
Even after Muzan's death, this drop of demon blood remained, quietly lurking within his body until the moment his martial spirit awakened.
This drop of Ghost King's blood seized the opportunity and became his second martial soul.
But why didn't he become a ghost before, and why wasn't he afraid of sunlight?
Lin Yang touched the freckles on his face.
If he's not mistaken, the reason he hasn't turned into a demon in the past six years is entirely because the markings have suppressed his demon blood, preventing it from taking effect.
He sensed that his innate soul power was more than level five, which was likely due to the suppression of his ghost blood by the markings.
"If that's the case..."
Lin Yang's breathing suddenly changed, and the freckles on his face melted away completely like ice and snow, revealing a rather handsome face.
"Just as I thought," Lin Yang said, a hint of joy on his face as he looked at himself in the mirror.
Although his memories have not returned over the past few years, his instincts as a Sun Pillar remain, and he subconsciously uses the markings to suppress the demon blood.
He wasn't born with the markings, but it seems that after this journey, his body is more in sync with the Breath of the Sun.
If his compatibility with the Breath of the Sun was 90% in the Demon Slayer world, it's now at least 200%.
Then, Lin Yang looked at the ghost blood in his hand, his expression shifting between light and dark.
As the Day Pillar, he naturally harbors a strong aversion to ghosts and has always been inclined to kill all evil spirits.
But now, Ghost Blood has become his second martial soul, and he can't get rid of it even if he wants to.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yang left home and headed to a deserted area behind the village that almost no one went there.
He wanted to experience the effects of this Ghost Blood Martial Soul.
After a whole afternoon of tinkering, Lin Yang finally figured out the state of the Ghost Blood Martial Soul.
Logically speaking, blood should belong to the body's martial soul.
However, his Ghost Blood Martial Soul is more like a special kind of Beast Martial Soul, which can add attributes to himself and strengthen his physique through the "possession" state.
After using the Ghost Blood Martial Soul, Lin Yang unsurprisingly turned into a ghost.
Aside from lacking blood demon magic, they have an extreme craving for flesh and blood, a fear of sunlight, enhanced physical strength, and superhuman regeneration...
These ghosts possess all the qualities one would expect, and also have none of the qualities one wouldn't.
If this were ten thousand years from now, he would definitely be a potential evil spirit master.
Fortunately, Lin Yang can control whether he transforms into a human or a ghost by controlling his Ghost Blood Martial Soul, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
"Sigh, whatever. Since it's fate, let's make good use of this martial soul."
It is foreseeable that Lin Yang will use the Ghost Blood Martial Soul frequently in the future.
Because of that extraordinary regenerative ability, it's considered a bug in this world.
In other words, no matter how badly Lin Yang is injured, as long as he doesn't die immediately, he can regenerate using the Ghost Blood Martial Soul, even if he becomes disabled.
Ghosts are just so unreasonable.
Of course, you still have to play it safe when necessary.
If you're too outspoken, you're more likely to be dissected and used for research.
Moreover, his so-called immortality means that even if all his cells are destroyed, he can still be killed, except by the sun, which is his greatest nemesis.
Given his current abilities, there are quite a few people who could do that.
At the same time, he also needs to find a way to overcome the weakness of the Ghost Blood Martial Soul in fearing sunlight.
Because of his involvement, the entire Kamado family survived, and Nezuko did not become a demon. Therefore, by the end of the second playthrough, no demon who was not afraid of sunlight had appeared.
Mi Douzi's experience is hard to replicate, but the Douluo world is a fantasy world, and there are always ways to solve the defects of martial souls.
If he could resolve the flaws in his martial soul, perhaps... he could allow Grandma Susie to live a little longer.
Lin Yang silently kept this goal in his heart.
