Martial Soul Evolution

Chapter 41: Martial Soul Evolution

Long Chen and Ye Lingling returned to the Ye Manor in Heaven Dou City together.

After more than a year, seeing Long Chen again, the Ye Tianming Couple were both surprised and delighted.

The four sat together, and Long Chen told the Ye Tianming Couple about his experiences over the past year.

Upon learning of Long Chen's progress, both were shocked.

Ye Tianming said:

"Xiao Chen, after Dugu Bo took you away, your Auntie and I were constantly worried. Dugu Bo is vicious and cruel, having killed countless people. I never imagined you would become friends of years with him."

"Uncle, I made you worry. Actually, Dugu Bo is not a bad person. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to make such great progress in such a short time."

Ye Tianming nodded gratifiedly.

"In such a short time, your soul power has reached Level Forty-Seven. It's incredible."

Ye Susu continued:

"Yes. Fifteen years old, Level Forty-Seven. Looking at the entire Douluo Continent, it's probably a unique existence."

"Moreover, Xiao Chen's Fourth Soul Ring has reached the Ten Thousand Year Level. This is probably also an unprecedented existence."

Long Chen smiled.

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Immortal Grade Herbs, and Dugu Bo's Snake Pill all played a role. Uncle, Auntie, Lingling, I have something to give you."

As Long Chen spoke, he took out an immortal herb from the Ruyi Treasure Pouch at his waist.

Its appearance was very unique. It looked like bamboo, but it was as hard as metal, resilient, and emitted a faint luster, as if containing some kind of magical power.

"Uncle, this is an Immortal Grade Herb called Ink Jade Bamboo. It can enhance the strength and flexibility of the Martial Soul, and increase Combat Power."

Long Chen knew that the older a Soul Master gets, the weaker their absorption of the medicinal effects of immortal herbs.

However, it was an immortal herb after all, and there would still be some improvement after absorption.

Ye Tianming was fifty-nine years old this year, at a crucial stage of the Level Eighty bottleneck.

But he had been stuck at this stage for two or three years and was unable to break through.

Long Chen wanted to lend him a hand.

"Uncle, after you eat it, calm your mind, activate your soul power to cultivate, and absorb its medicinal effects."

Looking at the peculiar Ink Jade Bamboo, Ye Tianming was a little excited. He carefully took it over.

"Xiao Chen, thank you."

"Uncle, we're family. You're being too formal."

After speaking, Long Chen took out another immortal herb from his Ruyi Treasure Pouch.

It was a white flower, about the size of a palm, shaped like a peony. It had no leaves, and its stem was connected to a completely black stone.

On the white flower, there were a few bright red spots, giving it a striking appearance.

Long Chen said:

"This immortal herb is called Lovesick Heartbreak Red. It's a Divine Grade Treasure among Immortal Grade Herbs. It chooses its master, and not everyone can pluck it. When plucking it, you must think of your beloved person with sincere affection and spit a mouthful of blood onto the petals. If you have two-timing thoughts, you won't be able to pluck it even if you bleed to death. Once plucked, it will forever recognize its master and will never wither as long as it is beside its master."

After hearing Long Chen's description, all three were shocked.

Ye Susu said softly:

"Lovesick Heartbreak Red, what a beautiful and tragic name."

Long Chen nodded gently.

"Auntie, actually, it also has a story that etches itself into one's bones."

"What story?"

"Legend has it."

Then, Long Chen slowly recounted the legend of Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

After listening, the three felt even more moved.

"So there's such a beautiful and tragic story."

"Auntie, you and Uncle have been in love for many years. I'm giving this to you. I hope you can become its master."

Ye Susu stared blankly at the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in front of her, nodded gently, then turned to look at Ye Tianming beside her and smiled:

"I'll try."

Immediately, she activated her soul power, her blood and qi surged, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed on the petals.

An astonishing scene unfolded.

The Lovesick Heartbreak Red didn't waver at all. Instead, it silently detached itself from the black stone and slowly floated towards Ye Susu.

Ye Susu couldn't help but extend her right hand. The flower, as if it had a consciousness, landed in her palm.

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Ye Susu revealed a smile, her gaze gentle as she looked at the flower in her hand.

"It seems to have recognized me."

"Yes, Auntie, you are its master now."

Long Chen knew that Ye Susu and Ye Tianming were each other's beloved, which was why she was recognized by the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

"Auntie, take it and circulate your soul power to cultivate. It will then be able to merge with you forever."

"Okay."

Long Chen then took out two more immortal herbs from his Ruyi Treasure Pouch.

One was an Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, pure white and crystalline all over. The other was a golden Aromatic Silk Beauty.

The moment they appeared, the entire room was filled with a rich fragrance, making one feel refreshed and invigorated.

"This immortal herb is called the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. Its medicinal properties are gentle and mellow, capable of strengthening the foundation, expelling impurities from the body, and can compensate for the slow cultivation speed of Support Soul Masters. Its medicinal effect can even last until Level Seventy.

And this immortal herb is even more incredible, named Aromatic Silk Beauty. Consuming it allows one to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and the radiance of the sun and moon.

These two immortal herbs complement each other and are very suitable for Lingling. Lingling, you should consume the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid first, and then the Aromatic Silk Beauty."

After speaking, Long Chen handed the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid to Ye Lingling.

"It's very simple to eat. Just chew and swallow, then circulate your soul power to help the medicinal effect integrate into your body. Absorbing its medicinal effect is a long process, so don't rush, take your time."

"Okay."

Ye Lingling accepted the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid with a smile.

Long Chen said:

"Uncle, Auntie, Lingling, you should all go and consume the immortal herbs and absorb their medicinal effects now. I will guard the formation for you."

The three nodded, then each found a corner to sit down, consumed the immortal herbs according to Long Chen's method, and began to cultivate.

Time ticked by, second by second.

From daytime to night.

Ye Tianming was the first to wake up from absorbing the medicinal effects of the immortal herb.

He looked at Long Chen with shock on his face.

"Xiao Chen, this immortal herb is too miraculous! I've actually broken through the bottleneck of Level Eighty! And I can clearly feel that my martial soul has become even tougher."

"That's great! Uncle, congratulations, you are about to be promoted to War Soul Douluo."

"By the way, Xiao Chen, you gave all the immortal herbs to us, did you not keep any for yourself?"

"Yes. When Lingling takes the next immortal herb, I'll be with her."

"Okay, I'll guard the formation for both of you later."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their gazes falling on Ye Lingling and Ye Susu, who were currently cultivating.

A moment later, Ye Susu woke up.

Feeling the changes within herself, Ye Susu was greatly shocked.

"Auntie, you're awake. How do you feel?"

Long Chen and Ye Tianming both looked at Ye Susu, anticipating her answer.

Ye Susu stood up, looking at her hands in disbelief.

"My Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul... it seems to have evolved."

After speaking, she released her martial soul.

The originally red and white Nine Heart Begonia had actually turned a vibrant red, blooming with a blood-red light, seemingly containing endless vitality.
