Gu Family Secret, Inherited Martial Soul!

"Inherited Martial Soul?"

Chen Yue froze. He could be a thousand percent certain that this had never been mentioned in the original work.

"That's right!"

Gu Qingbo nodded, then raised her hand and released her Martial Soul and soul rings—two yellow hundred-year soul rings.

Judging from the fluctuations of her Soul Power, Chen Yue felt that she had probably just reached Level 21.

"My Martial Soul is a mutated Martial Soul, the Azure Marlin. It's the same beast Martial Soul as my mother's Blue Fish, but it inherited some traits of my father's Martial Soul, so it mutated..."

As she spoke, she circulated her Soul Power. Chen Yue clearly sensed a faint chill. This chill was somewhat similar to that of Third Family Head Gu Qinghan, but in terms of power, it was probably less than one-thousandth as strong.

"Then what is your Inherited Martial Soul?"

A thought flashed through Chen Yue's mind, and he could not help asking, "Also, isn't your Innate Soul Power valued?"

Generally speaking, Martial Souls were rated according to Innate Soul Power. For example, someone with full Innate Soul Power—if Blind Douluo had not arbitrarily chosen not to report it, Spirit Hall would certainly have sent someone to receive him.

Even if it was merely a useless Martial Soul with full Innate Soul Power.

"We don't judge things by Innate Soul Power here."

Gu Qingbo shook her head. "My Innate Soul Power was Level Seven. Among my generation, that could be considered outstanding, but... because my Martial Soul isn't very close to the Gu Family's Inherited Martial Soul, even though my father was once the Family Head, I absolutely could not become the Family Head!"

This made Chen Yue even more curious. Innate Level Seven Soul Power was nothing special in the Gu Family—just what exactly was this Inherited Martial Soul?

Gu Qingbo soon answered him. "Our Inherited Martial Soul is Ice."

"Ice?"

Chen Yue was startled. "An elemental Martial Soul?"

Ice was an element. It could be said to belong to neither tool Martial Souls nor beast Martial Souls. This had been recorded in Chen Yue's earlier theories. Of course, if some Master were here, he might stubbornly classify it as a tool Martial Soul.

After all, if it wasn't a beast, then it had to be a tool!

"An elemental Martial Soul?"

Gu Qingbo paused, clearly surprised by the term, but then nodded. "I suppose so. I'm not sure either..."

"But I do know that once our Inherited Martial Soul appears, the Innate Soul Power is at least Innate Level Eight Soul Power. My grandfather even had full Innate Soul Power back then!"

She had said so much, yet only one phrase reached Chen Yue's ears.

Innate Level Eight Soul Power!?

Chen Yue immediately sucked in a breath. I fucking just wanted someone with Innate Level Six and a half Soul Power, and now you're dropping Innate Level Eight Soul Power on me?

"We're here!"

Just as Chen Yue was reeling in shock, Gu Qingbo, who had been leading the way, stopped in her tracks and called out over her shoulder. But the absentminded Chen Yue did not react at all and crashed straight into her, nearly knocking her over.

From afar, it looked as though Gu Qingbo had thrown herself into Chen Yue's arms. The difference in their heights was simply too great.

"Sorry, sorry..."

Gu Qingbo's face flushed red. She gave a soft huff without saying anything, turned around, and left, muttering inwardly, What Ruoshui said...

She had truly been startled just now. If Chen Yue had not reacted so quickly, she might even have swung a slap at him.

Chen Yue knew nothing of this.

Because at that moment, a Soul Master who had likewise become a live-in son-in-law had come over to strike up a conversation.
