Onefold Boost! Fourth Sister Aimi! (Please Keep Reading, Request Monthly Ticket)

Demon Eye Magic Pupil!

While passive, it could dispel mental illusions and charm-type attacks from Soul Masters up to two major realms above his own Soul Power Level.

When actively unleashed, Demon Eye Magic Light dealt mental damage to any target, along with negative effects such as dizziness, hallucinations, and mental pain.

Mental attack skills were extremely rare.

Such attacks were often the hardest to defend against.

More than ninety percent of Soul Masters could only rely on their own Soul Strength and Martial Souls to resist them.

They had no active means of defense.

With this soul skill, Lu Duzhou was now confident he could defeat Soul Grandmasters in their twenties.

Even against Soul Elders in their thirties, he might not be without a chance.

At Ailin's request, Aimi tried cultivating. A minute later, her eyes widened.

"Wow! Grandma, my Cultivation Speed has doubled!"

"What? It actually doubled!"

Yao Zi could not help exclaiming in astonishment.

She had originally thought a fifty percent increase would already be impressive. After all, Liu Feng, who was in the same major realm as Lu Duzhou, had only received a twenty percent boost.

She had never expected Lu Duzhou's Martial Soul to provide such an effective boost for lower-level Soul Masters.

Ailin's eyes also lit up when she heard that number.

After all, Aimi's Innate Level Six Soul Power talent already qualified her as a minor genius.

If she worked hard, she could raise her Soul Power by two levels a year and obtain her first Soul Ring at the age of eight.

But if her Cultivation Speed doubled, that meant Aimi could reach Level Ten and obtain her first Soul Ring as soon as she turned seven.

That year she saved would give her more of a foundation for her future cultivation.

The younger one was, the greater one's ability to break through to the next realm.

Ailin herself was already old, and her Martial Soul's potential had been exhausted. As a result, she had been stuck at Level Seventy-Nine, unable to break through.

Her Innate Soul Power had also been Level Six.

In Aimi, she seemed to see her own reflection.

Yet unlike her younger self, Aimi not only had a Soul Sage grandmother like herself to protect her, but now also had Lu Duzhou's support.

Her future achievements would definitely surpass Ailin's. She could become a Soul Douluo, or even a Title Douluo!

But then again.

This doubled Cultivation Speed was based on Lu Duzhou's Soul Power Level being higher than Aimi's.

To ensure Aimi's cultivation progress, they had to ensure Lu Duzhou's cultivation rose quickly as well.

Ailin looked at Lu Duzhou.

"Xiao Zhou, I heard you're nine this year. You only reached Level Ten at nine years old. Was your Innate Soul Power Level Five?"

Lu Duzhou shook his head.

"My Innate Soul Power is only Half-level Innate Soul Power."

"That's impossible!"

Yao Zi immediately rejected it.

"Half-level Innate Soul Power means you raised your Soul Power by more than three levels a year. That speed is something only an Innate Level Eight talent could have."

Ailin suddenly spoke.

"If I'm not mistaken, your Planting Martial Soul also helps increase your Cultivation Speed, right?"

There was no hiding this.

Lu Duzhou's Half-level Innate Soul Power had been registered at Spirit Hall, and his Soul Power Levels over the past three years could all be investigated.

To someone of Ailin's standing, his personal information was completely transparent.

Lu Duzhou nodded.

"Yes. That's also why I agreed to come to Plant Academy with Liu Feng."

"However, the rent that should be paid still has to be paid."

"For high-end customers like Aimi, I can also provide another service."

"My first soul skill can draw upon Earth Vein Power to rapidly replenish Soul Power. Anyone who plants their Martial Soul with me can replenish theirs through it as well."

"In other words, as long as I'm here, I can ensure Aimi will never run out of Soul Power."

For a Soul Master, the thing they cared about most was Soul Power.

Ailin knew well that no matter how much protection she provided, the best protection was letting Aimi possess sufficient strength herself.

And Lu Duzhou's first soul skill could ensure Aimi always had the strength to fight.

"Good boy, it seems your Martial Soul still has tremendous potential to be developed."

Ailin said with a genial smile.

"Then it's settled."

She took out a ring and handed it to Lu Duzhou.

"This is a Spatial Soul Tool called the Treasure Ring of Three. It contains three spaces, measuring eight cubic meters, twenty-seven cubic meters, and sixty-four cubic meters respectively."

"I'll give it to you as a meeting gift."

Lu Duzhou had long coveted a Spatial Soul Tool. He hurriedly accepted it, unable to hide his delight.

"Thank you, Dean Grandma!"

"From now on, I'll treat Xiao Aimi like my own Younger Sister."

"I already have two sworn younger siblings. From now on, Aimi will be my Fourth Sister!"

"I swear on my Martial Soul that as long as I live, I will protect her completely."

Seeing Lu Duzhou's solemn gaze and booming voice, as though he were radiating light, Aimi could not help calling out:

"Xiao Zhou Gege!"

She was the only child in her family. When she was three, her parents had died while hunting soul beasts, and Ailin had taken her in afterward.

Ailin had never married and treated Aimi like her own Granddaughter.

But Aimi still lacked family, after all.

Now that she heard Lu Duzhou wanted to acknowledge her as his younger sister, coupled with the intimacy of their linked Martial Souls, her heart stirred with emotion.

Lu Duzhou immediately stepped forward and picked her up.

Six-year-old Xiao Aimi was less than a meter tall, while Lu Duzhou, though only nine, was already one meter sixty-five.

"Aimi, you're so cute."

Hearing the compliment, Aimi shyly lowered her head.

Seeing this scene, Ailin laughed heartily.

"Excellent. I'll make the decision. From now on, Aimi will acknowledge you as her Brother."

Although Lu Duzhou's Innate Soul Power was only Half-level Innate Soul Power, the growth potential displayed by his Martial Soul meant he might not be unable to strive for the rank of Title Douluo in the future.

With another such Brother to protect her, Aimi's future path would be easier.

Yao Zi stared at this grand family-recognition scene in utter disbelief.

According to Liu Feng, Lu Duzhou had originally been a helpless Orphan and a Work-Study Student at Notting Academy.

Yet now, he had directly become Aimi's sworn older brother and gained kinship with the Ai Family, Pano City's foremost family.

He had crossed into the ranks of the great Nobles in a single step.

What a brilliant move!

At that moment, Ailin looked at Yao Zi and said:

"Xiao Zi, starting tomorrow, compile a list of all Soul Scholar and Soul Master students with Innate Soul Power Level Five or above, then report it to me."

"I'll decide which students will be the first to receive Xiao Zhou's help."

"Resources are limited. To achieve good results in the next Soul Master Competition, and for the development of the major families, we need to carefully consider who is qualified."

Yao Zi agreed and left to handle the matter.

As she turned around, she suddenly realized that nearly all the great Nobles in Pano City possessed Plant-type Martial Souls. Once those students learned of Lu Duzhou's Martial Soul enhancement effect, every family in Pano City would likely compete to forge closer ties with him.

Lu Duzhou had truly achieved a leap in status with such ease.

The next day, the ten people designated by Ailin successfully planted their Martial Souls in Lu Duzhou's One Third of an Acre of Land.

Among those ten, the most talented only had Innate Level Six Soul Power, while most possessed only Level Five.

Together, the source enhancement effect raised Lu Duzhou's Cultivation Speed to roughly four and a half levels per year!

But compared to that, the greatest benefit was still his soul skills.

From ten people and seven Plant-type Martial Souls, excluding the Green Vine and Red Flame Thorns Martial Souls he already possessed, he gained five new soul skills.
