Can This Really Be Eaten?

Can This Really Be Eaten?

Having figured this out, Dai Weisi couldn't help but curl his lips into a faint smile. This time, I really struck gold.

He then began explaining to Anna what Martial Souls were and how to become a Spirit Master.

"Nana, I'm going to tell you how to become a Spirit Master now. Listen carefully, understand?"

"Mm!" Anna nodded and listened with rapt attention.

"To become a Spirit Master, I first need to explain the classifications of Martial Souls. On the continent, Martial Souls are divided into two main categories: Beast Souls and Tool Spirits. Beast Souls can generally possess a Spirit Master's body, allowing the person and soul to become one and granting the Spirit Master immense strength. We call this Martial Soul Possession!"

As he spoke, Dai Weisi immediately activated his Martial Soul. His body expanded by a full circle, transforming him into a tiger-man.

"My Evil Eyed White Tiger is a type of Beast Soul, and this is what I look like after Martial Soul Possession. A Martial Soul can greatly enhance my strength and speed, allowing me to take on ten enemies by myself!"

He picked up a fist-sized rock and clenched it hard. With a bang, the solid stone shattered instantly!

"See that? That's the power of a Martial Soul!"

"I understand, Weisi Gege. Then what about Tool Spirits?"

"Tool Spirits generally function outside the body, and their varieties are far more numerous than Beast Souls. Sickles, hammers, stones, and shields are all Tool Spirits. Tool Spirits are more supportive than Beast Souls. Some Tool Spirits can even be eaten. For example, Martial Souls like cakes and steamed buns are Food System Martial Souls. Plant-based Martial Spirits are also a type of Tool Spirit."

After a pause, Dai Weisi looked at Anna and continued, "Nana, your Hundred Herbs is a Plant-based Martial Spirit."

Anna asked, "Tool Spirits are all good at supporting others, so should I become a Support System Spirit Master, Weisi Gege?"

Dai Weisi shook his head. "Not necessarily. Tool Spirits can fight as well. Weapon-type Martial Souls such as sickles and longswords can naturally be used in battle. To put it bluntly, Tool Spirits are weapons. Of course they can fight. As for what type of Spirit Master you should become in the future, I suggest developing toward the Control System."

"A Control System Spirit Master?"

"That's right. There are many types of Spirit Masters, such as Power Attack System, Agility Attack System, Control System, Defense System, Food System, Support System, Healing System, and so on. Your Hundred Herbs Martial Spirit... anyway, I can't see how it provides any support to a Spirit Master. Instead, it can control all kinds of plants. From that perspective, you're undoubtedly most suited to becoming a Control System Spirit Master. Moreover, in one-on-one combat, the Control System is the strongest, while most Support System Spirit Masters have little to no combat ability. Nana, I hope that through your own efforts, you'll have the strength to protect yourself when facing danger. Support System Spirit Masters, however, must entrust their lives to others. That's why I don't recommend that you become one."

"I understand, Weisi Gege. I'll work hard. I'll definitely become a powerful Control System Spirit Master!"

"Good girl! I believe in you!" Dai Weisi smiled and rubbed Anna's soft, obedient hair.

"Gege, what should I do next?"

"Well..." Dai Weisi had originally wanted Anna to immediately begin some intense physical training, since physical fitness was also extremely important for Spirit Masters.

But when he saw the girl's thin arms and legs, he slowly shook his head. She's too skinny. She probably won't last long if I make her do physical training.

With that in mind, Dai Weisi took out the Meditation Technique cultivated by the Star Luo Royal Family, handed it to Anna, and smiled. "Nana, this is the advanced Meditation Technique I cultivate. For the time being, practice Meditation Cultivation in the courtyard."

Dai Weisi's courtyard was filled with all sorts of flowers and plants. It was a simple mimicry cultivation ground, very suitable for Plant-based Martial Spirit Spirit Masters to cultivate in.

"I understand, Weisi Gege." Anna accepted the Meditation Technique and began cultivating under Dai Weisi's guidance.

"Nana really is a genius. In just one hour, she has already mastered the Meditation Technique and can proficiently practice Meditation Cultivation."

Dai Weisi guided Anna for an hour. By then, Anna had already immersed herself in meditation, and her Soul Power was gradually increasing. Dai Weisi nodded slightly.

"Uncle Li," Dai Weisi called softly. Yet with Li Hu's hearing, he still heard the call and appeared before him at once.

"First Prince, what are your orders?"

"A week ago, didn't we hunt a lot of Netherworld Wolves? Use their corpses to make a grand feast. From now on, meat dishes must account for at least sixty percent of Anna's meals!"

"Yes."

"One more thing. Go buy some Hundred Year Whale Rubber."

"First Prince, there is still plenty of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber in the residence. Why not—"

Dai Weisi shook his head and interrupted him. "The energy in Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber is too intense. I'm afraid Nana won't be able to handle it. Start with Hundred Year Whale Rubber, then gradually increase the dosage. Remember, the younger the Whale Rubber, the better. If there's ten-year Whale Rubber, buy ten-year Whale Rubber."

"Understood."

Li Hu immediately went to carry out the order. Before long, he brought back a piece of fifty-year Whale Rubber and had the Maid prepare a high-fat, high-protein feast of soul beast meat.

After noon, Anna caught the scent of meat and opened her eyes. Before her lay all kinds of delicious food. Her mouth watered as she hurriedly asked, "Weisi Gege, are these... all made for me?"

"Of course, Nana. Come eat. After lunch, Gege has something for you to eat."

"Weisi Gege..."

Anna could hardly believe everything before her. Just yesterday, she had been a slave sold to the Auction House, yet in the span of a single day, she had become the First Prince's student.

The sudden leap from hell to heaven left her feeling deeply unaccustomed to it all, as though everything were a surreal dream.

Anna picked up her chopsticks, lifted a piece of Netherworld Wolf meat, and put it into her mouth. The delicious flavor stimulated her taste buds so intensely that she began crying as she ate, tears streaming from her eyes.

"What's wrong, Nana? Why are you crying?" Dai Weisi asked with concern. "Is it not good? I'll have them take it away and make another serving."

"No, no, Weisi Gege, it's delicious. It's just that this is the first time I've ever eaten something this good..."

"Haha, silly girl. From today onward, you'll be able to eat meals this delicious every day." Dai Weisi rubbed the girl's hair and smiled. "All right, stop crying. If you keep crying, the food will get cold. Hurry and eat."

"Mm!"

Anna nodded emotionally, then wolfed down the food as though she bore some deep grudge against everything on the table.

At the same time, the girl secretly swore that she would become a Titled Douluo and repay Dai Weisi for his kindness.

After lunch, Dai Weisi cut off a marble-sized piece of fifty-year Whale Rubber, roasted it, and handed it to Anna.

"Come, Nana, eat this!"

Looking at the fishy-smelling Whale Rubber, Anna felt a chill run through her heart.

"Weisi Gege, can this really be eaten?"

"Don't talk. Hurry up and eat."

With that, Anna opened her cherry-red lips, revealing pearly white teeth, and swallowed the Whale Rubber. Then she sat cross-legged and began meditating to refine its energy.
