"You can make your own choice."
Without hesitation, Wu Chuan replied, "Your Highness the Holy Son, I want to absorb it. This is my only chance to defy fate and change my life. I'll never give it up. I don't want to keep being a burden to my teammates. I want to become a powerful Food-type Soul Master!!!"
"Good. In that case, absorb it here. Just hold the vine and use your Soul Power to guide the absorption. I'll personally protect you." Murong Huai handed the Heart-Severing Heart-Sculpting Vine to Wu Chuan.
Wu Chuan took it solemnly in both hands, then bowed deeply to Murong Huai. "Sorry for the trouble, Your Highness the Holy Son."
Wu Chuan looked at the Heart-Severing Heart-Sculpting Vine and took a deep breath. Then he sat cross-legged on the ground, grabbed the vine with one hand, and began absorbing it.
A pale blue-white energy slowly enveloped Murong Huai, radiating a pure energy that filled the surroundings, sacred and wreathed in azure clouds.
Wu Chuan's Martial Soul, Smoke Spirit Paste, appeared. Wisps of black miasma rose from it, making it seem filthy and murky, its energies in disarray as evil forces ran rampant.
The pale blue-white energy of the Heart-Severing Heart-Sculpting Vine flowed steadily outward, enveloping Wu Chuan's Martial Soul and dispelling its toxins. The black miasma seemed to catch fire, sizzling as it gradually faded away.
"Ah..."
Wu Chuan was suddenly wracked with pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. Sweat soon streamed down his forehead.
Murong Huai watched with an impassive expression. Mending the flaws in a Martial Soul was no easy task. If Wu Chuan couldn't even endure this little pain, he might as well die.
