Call Me Grandmaster!
I really was afraid your Martial Soul Mutation would turn out too badly, but it couldn't be this good, either!
Little Blue Hair sat beside Shen Yichen with a mournful face. "Yichen, hurry up and tell me you were lying to me. You actually had a Soul Tool Elder Lin gave you."
Shen Yichen glanced at Bei Bei. "Right, right, yes, yes. I used a Soul Tool to beat you up."
"Really?" Bei Bei seemed to be infused with new vitality.
"Nope."
His newly infused vitality wilted in an instant.
"Then will I ever be able to beat you again?"
"No hope of that. Just be a good little underling of mine, Little Blue Hair."
Bei Bei: "..."
"Oh, right. What level are you now that you've absorbed your Second Soul Ring?"
"Level twenty-one. What else would it be?"
"Huh? Shouldn't absorbing a Soul Ring raise you several levels?"
Bei Bei turned his head and gave Shen Yichen a look as if he were illiterate. "Gaining several levels happens because of Soul Power accumulated through cultivation before absorbing the Soul Ring, or because someone absorbed a Soul Ring above their level, leaving Soul Power unreleased after the ring formed a Soul Skill."
"I didn't absorb one above my level, and I went Soul Hunting right after my breakthrough. How could I possibly gain several levels?"
"Hiss... is that how it works?" He had learned something new.
Still...
Even after transmigrating to this world, Shen Yichen still couldn't understand why Soul Power could be stored like experience points, then raise someone's level by a huge chunk all at once when the level was unlocked.
That was completely unscientific!
Then again, transmigration had happened. Something as trivial as storing experience points wasn't worth mentioning.
There were too many bugs in this world. He just had to get used to them...
"Shouldn't you go to school and learn something too?" Bei Bei said.
"School?" Shen Yichen glanced at Bei Bei. "Did you ever go to a junior Soul Master Academy?"
"Uh... no."
"Exactly! With innate full soul power, you could graduate from a junior academy already. What normal person would go to a junior Soul Master Academy..."
Even after ten thousand years, the rules of Soul Master Academies on the Douluo Continent hadn't changed much.
Usually, the period from Martial Soul Awakening to obtaining the first Soul Ring corresponded to junior Soul Master Academy.
Obtaining the Second Soul Ring was the requirement for graduating from an intermediate Soul Master Academy.
Once someone obtained a third Soul Ring and broke through to Soul Elder, they could graduate from an advanced Soul Master Academy.
Of course, that only applied to ordinary academies and ordinary people.
For geniuses, anything went.
"Oh, right, Little Blue Hair. I've taken Mu En as my master. What should you call me? Grandmaster? Or granduncle-master?"
Bei Bei: "..."
"Mu En took you as his disciple?!"
He was only surprised for a moment. On second thought, it made sense. He was a Soul Grandmaster, yet he couldn't even hurt Shen Yichen, so it was only natural for Mu En to take him as a disciple.
"Call me grandmaster, or I'll crack your head open like a flower."
"Grandmaster, grandmaster..." Bei Bei called out listlessly. Ever since he was little, even though he was older than Shen Yichen, he had always been the one getting teased.
So he had long since gotten used to it...
Grandmaster it was. He gave up, he gave up.
"Mm." The white-haired dumpling nodded in satisfaction. "The child can be taught. If anything happens in the future, give them your grandmaster's name. Your grandmaster has your back!"
Just for Little Blue Hair calling him grandmaster, once he became a god, he would definitely pull strings and save him a God Position.
What if there were no vacancies in the Divine Realm?
Wouldn't there be one if he killed a god?
Looking at Bei Bei, Shen Yichen shrugged. Though he didn't know whether Bei Bei and Tang Ya would end up together, since they were the official original couple, he wouldn't flirt with Tang Ya.
He couldn't say Tang Ya had a bad personality. It was just... he couldn't bring himself to like it.
Both were Saintesses of the Holy Spirit Cult, but the Blue Silver Saintess and the Phoenix Saintess were completely different.
Tang Ya had fallen of her own accord, while Ma Xiaotao had an innate defect.
How bad could a girl whose Martial Soul carried Evil Fire, yet who could keep herself pure, possibly be?
So he would leave Tang Ya to Little Blue Hair. In this life, he would protect Little Blue Hair and make sure Tang Ya never became the Blue Silver Saintess!
Of course, if Little Blue Hair didn't take a fancy to Tang Ya, then she could live or die on her own.
Heavenly Soul Empire
Body Sect grounds
A mountain peak, a natural chasm.
Aside from looking somewhat shabby, the Body Sect's grounds were much the same as the Clear Sky Sect's.
These harsh conditions were perfect for tempering Body Martial Souls!
Coming to the Body Sect was like a fish returning to the sea for Huo Yuhao. It didn't take him long to fit in.
To celebrate a new family member joining the Body Sect's big family, the sect master, Du Busi, even arranged a banquet.
It wasn't because Huo Yuhao was special. Every new family member who joined the Body Sect received the same treatment.
Now that Huo Yuhao had come to the Body Sect, his Martial Soul was naturally examined in detail.
For Body Martial Souls, what mattered was their importance to the body, not innate soul power.
In terms of innate soul power, Huo Yuhao was like anyone else on the street. But in terms of importance...
Eyes were far more important as a Body Martial Soul than arms, thighs, and the like. Moreover, under normal circumstances, an eye Martial Soul wouldn't possess the Mental Attribute.
Only when the eyes were connected to the brain and the Sea of Consciousness could the Spirit Eyes possess the Mental Attribute.
So, to the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao was an SSR card!
"Little fellow, cultivate hard. If you can break through to level twenty before you turn twelve, I'll take you as my disciple!"
Starting at innate level one and breaking through to level twenty by twelve meant he had to gain at least three levels each year.
That wasn't easy, but so what if it wasn't easy?!
"Yes, Sect Master!"
Huo Yuhao's eyes burned. He believed he could do it! He had to do it!
As a family member, Huo Yun'er had also moved into the Body Sect. The corners of her mouth lifted. They had truly made the right choice coming to the Body Sect!
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven was a good person. Though he spoke like a madman, the advice he gave was truly good.
"You're Yuhao's mother?" Du Busi glanced at Huo Yun'er.
Family members of sect disciples like Huo Yun'er were not uncommon in the Body Sect.
"My respects, Your Eminence." Huo Yun'er bowed to Du Busi with a delicate manner.
For her to have made Dai Hao unable to keep his lower body under control, Huo Yun'er was naturally exceptionally beautiful. But most Body Sect members had trained their muscles right into their brains. Beauty? Better to work out!
"What is your Martial Soul?" Perhaps to win some goodwill from Huo Yuhao, Du Busi casually asked.
Her Martial Soul?
"My Martial Soul is also eyes."
"Hm???"
Du Busi turned his head to look at the Body Sect Soul Douluo who had brought Huo Yuhao back to the sect.
"Sect Master, I didn't know either!" He had only received word that Huo Yuhao had a Body Martial Soul. Who knew Huo Yun'er had one too?
Body Martial Souls generally came from mutations and generally couldn't be inherited reliably. Otherwise, the Body Sect wouldn't have so few people.
"Activate your Martial Soul and let me see..."
Hearing this, Huo Yun'er activated her Martial Soul, and a faint light appeared in her eyes.
Compared with Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes, which possessed the Mental Attribute, Huo Yun'er merely had an ordinary eye Martial Soul.
On top of that, she was older and hadn't obtained a single Soul Ring. Du Busi judged on the spot that this woman's future achievements would be limited.
Still, gaining another family member was something to be happy about.
"Good, good! From now on, girl, you're family to the Body Sect too!"
