Martial Soul Attribute Imbalance

Yun Mu slowly emerged from that strange state, but suddenly felt terribly uncomfortable.

"Ahhh!" Unable to bear the pain, Yun Mu cried out.

Hearing him, Yun Ming immediately rushed in with Ya Li.

Ya Li quickly probed Yun Mu's physical condition with Soul Power, her brows knitting tightly.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Ya Li's furrowed brow, Yun Ming immediately grew anxious.

"Brother Ming, quickly—take him off Sea God Island. The life-attributed Heaven and Earth Yuan Power on Sea God Island is far too abundant," Ya Li said anxiously.

Upon hearing that, Yun Ming swiftly picked Yun Mu up and flew away from Sea God Island with Ya Li. Some of the elders followed as well.

Yun Ming and Ya Li arrived at the courtyard they had bought outside the city.

After placing Yun Mu on the bed, Ya Li slowly injected a thread of her Soul Power into him to help circulate his Soul Power.

After a while, Yun Mu's body gradually recovered. His tightly furrowed brows, drawn together from the intense pain, finally relaxed completely.

A Taiji-like pattern surrounded his body, continuously rotating.

Unlike a Taiji symbol, however, it was not black and white, but purple and green.

Yun Mu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He truly had not expected the imbalance in his Martial Soul attributes to be so severe.

Fortunately, the attributes of his two Martial Souls could be converted into one another, and his cultivation technique was powerful enough. Otherwise, he had nearly died.

"Two completely opposing types of Soul Power are constantly clashing inside his body, as though they've turned it into a battlefield. The life-attributed Soul Power and destruction-attributed Soul Power must have become unbalanced," Ya Li said to Yun Ming after stepping outside.

"This... because he absorbed too much life force during his connection with the Golden Ancient Tree today?" Yun Ming guessed.

Ya Li nodded. "That should be it. So before little Yun Mu reaches Soul Sage rank, it would be best if he does not cultivate on Sea God Island. And after his attributes recover, don't let him cultivate for a while."

Yun Ming nodded solemnly. "I understand. I'll be more careful next time."

"Let this child cultivate elsewhere until he turns twelve," Zhuo Shi said. "I remember you mentioned that he attends Red Mountain Academy, right? Wouldn't his next academy be Eastsea Academy?"

After a moment of surprise, Yun Ming nodded.

"I'll have Shen Yi ask which class Wu Changkong teaches later. Let him join Wu Changkong's class," Zhuo Shi said.

"That's the only way," Yun Ming said after thinking it over. "We'll take the child around Shrek Academy for a couple of days later."

Ya Li nodded, then suddenly turned to look at Yun Mu. No wonder Brother Ming suspected that Yun Mu was not their biological child.

Tang Wulin, Tang Ziran, and Lang Yue all had black hair and black eyes, yet Tang Yunmu had silver-brown hair and purple eyes.

Judging by nothing but their hair and eye colors, Na'er looked more like family with him.

"Tomorrow, Brother Ming, come shopping for clothes with Na'er, Yun Mu, and me," Ya Li said with a smile.

Yun Ming nodded. "All right."

The next morning.

When Ya Li went to pick up Na'er, she suddenly found Tang Wulin rather adorable as well, so she took him along too.

Dressing up one was the same as dressing up three, so they might as well go together.

As for Tang Ziran and Lang Yue, they were both quite happy. It had been a long time since they had enjoyed time alone together.

Yun Mu slowly woke up as well.

Fortunately, amid the misfortune, his Soul Power Level had broken through and become even more condensed.

When Yun Ming saw him emerge from the room, he gently rubbed his head and said, "Before you reach Soul Sage rank, it's best not to cultivate on Sea God Island, all right?"

"Okay." Yun Mu nodded.

Yun Mu always felt that Yun Ming had noticed something, such as his identity as the son of a God King.

He was different from Tang Wulin. Wulin's Martial Souls belonged to this world and had existed here from the start, while his Martial Souls were unique.

Besides, Devil Island existed. When he had read the original novel, he had suspected it contained fragments of the divine power of the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction.

And since he shared the same origin as his parents, how could he possibly avoid being exposed?

Tang Wulin's Martial Souls were not unique, nor did they possess any special attributes.

If Tang Wulin had awakened the Sea God Martial Soul or the Asura God Martial Soul, someone might have suspected that he was Tang San's child.

Still, Tang Wulin's identity might not go unquestioned. After all, the Martial Souls he had awakened were the Blue Silver King and the Clear Sky Hammer. If his first Martial Soul evolved back into its original form...

Coupled with Tang Wutong's example from ten thousand years ago, some people in the know would probably notice.

Although he did not dislike the people of Shrek Academy whom he had met so far, that was limited to those people. It did not mean he did not dislike Shrek Academy itself.

Yun Mu sincerely felt that Shrek Academy was like a pyramid scheme, tricking one genius after another into this pit.

Then it turned every genius into someone who took pride in Shrek and was even willing to sacrifice their moral bottom line for Shrek Academy.

Yet even if Yun Ming had not taken him as a disciple, he would probably still have joined Shrek Academy in the end. There was no helping it—in this era, Shrek Academy was practically the only choice.

Yun Mu sighed. Even in Douluo I or Douluo II, he would have had other options.

After all, there were only four major organizations now: Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, Spirit Pagoda, and the War God Temple.

He would never choose Tang Sect. Spirit Pagoda cooperated with Evil Soul Masters, so he would not choose them either. What if one day they treated him as material?

As for the War God Temple, he did not believe an organization whose supreme leader was a Sea God Douluo could be trusted.

After all, the War God Temple's master, Vast Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie, had originally held the title Sea God.

In other words, he was Tang San's high priest. Who could possibly trust that?

At the same time, the only place that would not treat him as an outcast was Shrek Academy, where monsters appeared in endless succession.

Yun Mu sighed. Besides, he was extremely interested in Shrek Academy's Devil Island. He wondered whether it held fragments of his parents' divine power.

Lost in thought, Yun Mu followed Yun Ming onward.

Yun Mu saw Na'er run toward him with a smile before instantly throwing herself into his arms.

"Big Brother, I missed you so much," Na'er said sweetly.

"I missed you too, Na'er," Yun Mu said with a smile.

Tang Wulin said enviously to Na'er, "Are you done hugging him yet? I want to hug my brother too."

Na'er gave Tang Wulin a cold snort. "I'm not done yet."

Tang Wulin crossed his arms and snorted. "I'm ignoring Na'er now."

Na'er released Yun Mu and smiled. "All right, all right. I'll give Big Brother to you."

Tang Wulin chuckled, then hugged Yun Mu as well. Just as he was about to say something equally mushy, Yun Mu covered his mouth.
