Solutions for Martial Soul Mutation

Lin Mo acted as if he hadn't noticed Yu Xiaogang's expression, continuing on his own, "Since it is a malignant mutation of your martial soul, you should seek a solution from the perspective of the martial soul itself.

Instead of doing what you are doing now, Master, and obsessively searching for the cause within yourself."

"As for a solution to a malignant martial soul mutation, while it might be difficult for others, it is not impossible for your Luo Sanpao."

Lin Mo spoke with certainty, without a hint of hesitation.

"What insights do you have?" Yu Xiaogang was instantly invigorated.

Lin Mo did not answer immediately; he gathered his thoughts before speaking slowly.

Lin Mo explained, "Compared to a standard martial soul, in my view, Luo Sanpao leans more toward being a spirit beast.

It can not only exist independently, separate from you, its host, but it can also eat like a normal living creature and possesses significant intelligence and spirit."

Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly.

Luo Sanpao was indeed different from an ordinary martial soul; it was more like an independent creature with its own consciousness and ability to act.

It was just that he had never explored this line of reasoning before.

In his view, a martial soul was simply a martial soul.

"This means that Luo Sanpao could, like those spirit beasts, consume the flesh and blood of high-level spirit beasts or rare treasures.

It could complete the missing pieces of its own evolution and take a step forward."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang froze.

Letting Luo Sanpao feed on the flesh of high-level spirit beasts and rare treasures just like a spirit beast?

This line of thinking was something he had never considered.

No, it wasn't that he hadn't considered it; it was that he had subconsciously ignored the possibility.

Because in his understanding, although Luo Sanpao could eat like a spirit beast, it was ultimately a martial soul, not a true spirit beast.

The growth of a martial soul relied on the cultivation of the soul master themselves; how could it be improved through external feeding?

However.

What if he looked at it from the other side?

What if it was precisely because Luo Sanpao possessed the unique characteristic of being an externalized martial soul that it could not be treated with conventional logic?

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Yu Xiaogang's mind, instantly illuminating the shadows that had been shrouded in fog for so long.

Only at this point did Lin Mo begin to grumble inwardly.

The way Luo Sanpao was raised was definitely one of the Master's few major blunders.

Perhaps because all of Luo Sanpao's soul skills involved flatulence, the Master had truly raised it like a skunk.

Luo Sanpao's two major soul skills were "Fart like thunder, earth-shattering Luo Sanpao" and "Fart like smoke, hypnotic slumber Luo Sanpao."

The effects of these two skills were thunder-induced paralysis and hypnotic sleep.

Judging solely by the effects of the soul rings, it wasn't hard to guess that the first soul ring was likely obtained while the Master was still in his clan, provided by a thunder-attribute spirit beast.

And according to the habits of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, that thunder-attribute spirit beast was likely a sub-dragon species, such as a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

But Luo Sanpao's second soul ring clearly fell outside that category.

After all... whether absorbing a sub-dragon spirit beast or a thunder-attribute soul ring, it would be impossible to obtain a skill like "Fart like smoke, hypnotic slumber Luo Sanpao."

The second soul ring was likely absorbed at random after the Master left home, traveled the continent, and reached the breakthrough point of a level 20 quasi-Soul Grand Master, at which point he lost his composure and gave up on himself.

This move effectively sealed off any possibility of him saving himself through soul rings.

Furthermore, there was a major problem with how Yu Xiaogang fed Luo Sanpao.

Soul masters usually required a large amount of meat to provide nutrition.

Food made from the flesh and blood of spirit beasts was even better, as it kept up with the body's growth and consumption.

High-quality nutrition also nourished the body better, allowing soul masters to cultivate more effectively.

But what did Luo Sanpao, the only externalized beast martial soul on the continent, usually eat?

The Master fed Luo Sanpao nothing but white radishes, which were excellent for inducing gas.

His reasoning was that it better replenished the consumption of Luo Sanpao's "three strikes of power."

In such a state of congenital deficiency and extreme lack of postnatal nutrition, it would be absurd if Luo Sanpao had managed to mutate successfully.

This was likely why, later on, it only broke through its long-standing bottleneck after being nourished by the potent Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma gifted by Tang San.

Of course, Lin Mo would never say this directly to the Master's face.

The dormitory fell silent once again.

Yu Xiaogang did not speak; he stood as if frozen, but his eyes were filled with violently churning emotions.

The frustrations of these past years, the cold shoulders and mockery he had endured, all seemed to find a vent at this very moment.

It was not as if he had never attempted to break through.

He had never ceased his own cultivation, and he had tested every obscure method he could find.

Yet, all his efforts were like stones cast into the sea, never stirring up the slightest ripple.

His Soul Power Level remained firmly stuck at level twenty-nine, unable to advance even half a step.

However, Lin Mo's words just now were like a key, directly opening a door he had never even considered.

An externalized beast spirit could complete its own cultivation through eating, just like a spirit beast, patching its flaws and allowing itself to progress further.

How had he never thought of this line of reasoning?

It was no secret that Luo Sanpao possessed the ability to eat independently.

He had also long known that Luo Sanpao possessed sentience and intelligence.

But precisely because these things were so obvious and he had become so accustomed to them, he had subconsciously overlooked them—he, a man who had spent most of his life researching spirit theory.

He had always sought a breakthrough from the perspective of the spirit master himself.

He focused on raising his Soul Power Level, charging at the bottleneck, and attempting to drive the evolution of his spirit through his own breakthrough.

He had never once considered that since Luo Sanpao could exist independently of him, did it not also possess the possibility of independent evolution?

If that were the case, could he not find a way to induce a beneficial mutation in the Luo Sanpao spirit, allowing the spirit to drive his Soul Power to complete the breakthrough?

Perhaps it could even complete a feedback loop for his Soul Power, allowing him to advance further!

If it were true.

If this line of thinking were truly feasible.

Then the shackles that had plagued him for decades might finally have a chance of loosening.

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, a flash of inspiration struck Yu Xiaogang's heart.

It was as if the fog had dispersed, and he had finally welcomed the dawn.

Yu Xiaogang's brows furrowed tightly, his mind racing frantically as he subconsciously began to ponder, preparing to grasp this lifeline he had finally found.

He looked at Lin Mo instinctively and began to ask, "If it were you, how would you go about it?

How could one make the Luo Sanpao spirit complete its evolution? Or rather, a beneficial mutation!"
