Hu Liena slowly stepped forward, slightly hesitant. "Teacher, I only know one skill right now—Charm. Didn't you say that if the gap in Spiritual Power between both sides is too great, I might suffer backlash?"
Bibi Dong nodded. "Yes. So what you need to do isn't use Charm on me, but on your Second Brother."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong pointed at Hu Bai, who was sitting off to the side resting.
Hu Bai pointed at himself as well, his face full of question marks. "Me?? Ahem, Teacher, isn't that a bad idea?"
Bibi Dong said, "What's bad about it? You just consumed quite a bit of Spiritual Power. Your Younger Sister won't suffer backlash. Besides, you can't use Charm, so what are you afraid of?"
Hu Bai looked at Bibi Dong, blinking innocently. "Teacher, when did I say I couldn't use Charm?"
Bibi Dong: ???
Hu Liena: ???
Xie Yue: ???
The three of them were utterly baffled. Bibi Dong frowned. "Aren't you following the All Elements path? Where did Charm come from?"
Hu Bai stood up and waved his hand. "Oh, right, I forgot to mention this. Ever since I fused with this Vertical Pupil External Soul Bone, my Martial Soul awakened another Innate Skill: Charm. Combined with my Third Eye, I can use it."
Bibi Dong:
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" Bibi Dong glared at him with her beautiful eyes, her charm on full display.
Hu Bai smiled awkwardly. "Teacher, I forgot."
Hu Liena puffed out her cheeks, her little face full of dissatisfaction. "Why has your Martial Soul given you so many abilities, Brother, while I can only rely on Soul Rings? I refuse to accept this!"
Xie Yue comforted her from the side. "Nana, there's nothing we can do about that. The quality of your Martial Souls differs too greatly. But if you focus on Mental Control in the future, with the support of Soul Rings, your Second Brother definitely won't be able to compare to you."
Hu Bai nodded in agreement as well.
Yet he was thinking that Hu Liena's Demon Fox Martial Soul should also possess a trace of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline. It was simply extremely faint. Otherwise, his own Martial Soul would not have reverted to its ancestral Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox form.
He actually had no objections to Hu Liena taking the Mental Control path. It suited girls very well.
Still, it could be strengthened.
Immortal Herbs should be able to further condense the Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline within Hu Liena's body.
In the future, even if she could not evolve nine tails, six tails should still be barely possible, right?
Thinking of Immortal Herbs, Hu Bai really needed to find an opportunity to go out later. He definitely could not let Tang San take the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye in Sunset Forest.
However, he would most likely encounter Dugu Bo when he went there.
I've got it!
When the time came, he could ask Yue Guan to take him along. Yue Guan had indirectly obtained a Wolf Bandit Soul Bone because of him last time, so he still owed Hu Bai a favor.
Besides, would bringing him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye count as repaying a favor?
No. It would only make Yue Guan owe him an even greater favor!
With the support of Immortal Herbs, his parents, brothers, and sisters would be able to advance to Titled Douluo much more easily in the future!
"Teacher, can the three of us only cultivate in Spirit Hall from now on? Are there any opportunities to go out and gain experience?" Hu Bai asked casually. "Otherwise, staying in Spirit City all the time would be far too boring."
"Already thinking about having fun? You chose such a difficult path yourself, yet you still aren't thinking about cultivating properly. Just coordinating all those elements will be enough to give you a headache! There's no going out to play, but there are experience requirements."
Bibi Dong looked at the three of them. "Once your Soul Power Level reaches Level Thirty, the Academy will issue experience missions. Depending on the difficulty, one or two Teachers at Soul King rank or above will generally lead the team to eliminate and capture Fallen Soul Masters throughout the continent, or visit various villages to help commoners Awaken Martial Souls."
"Although you three don't need to attend the Academy now, you will still have to take missions. And as my Disciples, your mission requirements will certainly differ from those of the Academy students.
Your team leader will be chosen from among the three Elders, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Ling Yuan. But don't celebrate too soon. They will only act when you face life-threatening danger. And once they act, it means your mission evaluation will be affected, or you may even be judged to have failed outright."
Xie Yue and Hu Liena both looked very serious, while Hu Bai lowered his head in thought.
They could take missions once they reached Level Thirty. Waiting a little was not impossible. He was currently at Level 23 Soul Power, and he should be able to reach Level Thirty within two years.
If he focused solely on cultivating Soul Power, he was confident he could raise it by seven levels within a year. But unfortunately, there were no ifs. He still had many courses to complete.
Suddenly, Hu Bai recalled that in the original story, another important reason Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan had been designated the Golden Generation was that they had obtained Purple Record Medals at a young age!
"Teacher, does that mean if we take enough missions and complete them well, we can obtain Purple Record Medals?" Hu Bai asked curiously.
The three of them were actually no strangers to Purple Record Medals, because Xie Tian and Hu Leyao were both recipients of them.
Bibi Dong glanced at Hu Bai. A medal appeared in her hand, predominantly purple and inlaid with golden patterns, with the Spirit Hall emblem engraved at its center.
"This is a Purple Record Medal. You cannot obtain one simply by taking many missions. Receiving this medal means you have officially entered Spirit Hall's talent pool and become a key candidate for future cultivation. To obtain a Purple Record Medal, you must meet the following requirements."
"First, before the age of twenty-five, your Soul Power Level must reach Level Forty or above, and you must have a standard Soul Ring configuration. By the previous standards, your First Soul Ring must be at least three hundred years old, and your Second Soul Ring at least six hundred years old."
Before Whale Glue appeared, the continent's standard Soul Ring Ages were 423 years for the First Soul Ring and around eight hundred years for the Second Soul Ring. However, not every Soul Master could happen to encounter Soul Beasts whose ages were close to those standards, which was why there were requirements of three hundred and six hundred years.
Meeting those requirements was already enough to prove that a Soul Master was a genius.
"Second, during combat training, you must defeat a higher-level opponent. You will encounter this during your missions."
"Third, your Martial Soul quality must be evaluated. In other words, those with poor innate talent basically have no way of obtaining a Purple Record Medal."
"Soul Masters who obtain Purple Record Medals will receive preferential access to Spirit Hall's resources, opportunities to obtain Soul Bones, and personal cultivation guidance from Titled Douluo."
"And now, as my Disciples, you three already possess the privileges of Purple Record Medals in a certain sense. Since we've brought this up, I will set a requirement for you as well. Before you turn fourteen, you must obtain Purple Record Medals!"
