Mu Ye stared at Xu Yuan's head, his eyes practically bulging out.
For the Body Sect, the more vital the body part represented by a Body Martial Soul, the more powerful it was.
The more important the body part, the greater its role in a Soul Master's cultivation. As one's Soul Power Level rose, it could be enhanced to the fullest extent, and its second awakening would become even more terrifying.
The brain was an exceedingly important organ, no less vital than the heart.
Moreover, among Body Martial Souls, the brain was far more powerful than a Heart Martial Soul because it connected to the Sea of Spirit!
Even eyes did not necessarily connect to Spiritual Power. Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes from ten thousand years ago had been an exception among eye Martial Souls. Not every eye Martial Soul was that powerful.
Since the brain connected to the Sea of Spirit, the strength of a Brain Martial Soul was not merely related to the physical brain. It was also tied to the strength of the Sea of Spirit and the realm of one's Spiritual Power.
To improve a Heart Martial Soul, a Soul Master still needed to frantically temper their physique and vital energy. The brain, however, did not require that nearly as much.
As one's physical strength and vital energy increased, the Brain Martial Soul would naturally grow stronger. Yet it had another source to draw upon—the Sea of Spirit. Once one's Spiritual Power realm reached the proper level, the Brain Martial Soul would naturally improve as well.
That might not have mattered ten thousand years ago, when Spiritual Power was not so easy to cultivate. But in the present age, with the development of Soul Spirits, Spiritual Power cultivation had become increasingly important, and research into its techniques and methods had grown ever more advanced.
It could be said that in the current era, a Brain Martial Soul truly was stronger than a Heart Martial Soul for the Body Sect.
If there were any Body Martial Soul stronger than a Brain Martial Soul, it would likely only be one that used the entire body as its Martial Soul—and it would need to mutate with a Mental Attribute to completely surpass it.
Of course, that was all in theory.
As the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Mu Ye naturally thought first of all these theories related to Body Martial Souls.
In truth, whether someone was powerful or not was decisively tied to the Soul Master himself.
But that was not a weakness for Xu Yuan's Brain Martial Soul. On the contrary, it was an even greater advantage, because although Mu Ye had not known which body part Xu Yuan's Body Martial Soul represented beforehand, he had known that Xu Yuan possessed Innate Soul Power Level 7!
A Body Martial Soul with Innate Soul Power Level 7 was why Mu Ye had valued Xu Yuan enough to come personally, even without knowing the exact nature of his Martial Soul.
As for doing Xu Shengqun a favor?
To be frank, although Mu Ye, as the Body Sect's Sect Master, was only Level 94 and might never break through to become a Super Douluo, while Xu Shengqun was a Level 96 Super Douluo, Mu Ye truly had no need to give Xu Shengqun face.
Xu Shengqun was merely a Super Douluo and a Three-Word Dou Armor Master. Mu Ye, meanwhile, was a Four-Word Dou Armor Master and possessed a God-level Mecha that he could use in tandem. Combined, those made him one of the stronger figures even among Ultimate Douluos.
As for status?
A Four-Word Dou Armor Master was status itself.
It represented strength, and it also represented one's connection with a Divine Craftsman.
"A Brain Martial Soul, with Innate Soul Power at Level 7. Child, what is your Spiritual Power value?" Mu Ye asked as he looked at Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan did not hide it.
"Eighty-one."
Eighty-one!
Even Zhen Hua, standing nearby, was stunned.
How could he not have been interested in Xu Yuan this time around?
When Xu Shengqun had told him that he had a nephew with a Body Martial Soul, Innate Soul Power Level 7, and Twin Martial Souls, hoping that Zhen Hua could introduce him to Mu Ye, Zhen Hua had not been the least bit vague about it.
Xu Yuan could take Mu Ye as his master in Body Martial Soul cultivation, but why could he not take Divine Blacksmith Zhen Hua as his master in a Sub-Profession?
Historically, aside from Soul Masters whose Martial Souls were hammer types, the most suitable people to become Forging Masters were Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls. They possessed both immense strength and abundant vital energy, making them ideal for forging.
Yet neither he nor Mu Ye had expected Xu Yuan's Body Martial Soul to be the brain.
For Mu Ye, a brain was even better.
For Zhen Hua, however, it reduced his interest instead. Still, Xu Yuan's Spiritual Power of eighty-one immediately upon awakening had shocked him.
After the shock came an even sharper decline in interest.
There was no helping it. With such high Spiritual Power, along with Mu Ye's Sub-Profession, it would make no sense for Xu Yuan not to choose Mecha Design as his Sub-Profession.
"Good!"
The more Zhen Hua's interest waned, the more affection filled Mu Ye's gaze as he looked at Xu Yuan—if anything, it grew even stronger!
At that moment, he truly wanted to crack open Xu Yuan's skull and take a look at that adorable Brain Martial Soul.
"Kid, I am the current Sect Master of the Body Sect. Are you willing to take me as your master?" Mu Ye asked Xu Yuan solemnly, without any beating around the bush.
Xu Yuan did not hesitate. He immediately bowed.
"Xu Yuan greets Master."
Zhen Hua watched from the side, stroking his chin with great satisfaction.
He and Mu Ye had a close friendship. He also knew that Mu Ye was rather solitary and had almost no friends. Other than staying here with him, Mu Ye rarely interacted with anyone else. Seeing Mu Ye take in such a fine disciple, Zhen Hua was naturally happy for him.
"Come on, your master will take you to have something delicious!" Mu Ye laughed heartily and led Xu Yuan toward the door on the side of the office.
Zhen Hua and Xu Shengqun followed as well.
As an old friend—and since this was his own kitchen—Zhen Hua naturally knew what delicious food Mu Ye had prepared.
As for Xu Shengqun, though they were not familiar, he had met Zhen Hua before as a Spirit Transfer Envoy. By chance, he had also met Mu Ye and knew how terrifying Mu Ye's cooking skills were. More importantly, he knew just how rare the ingredients Mu Ye possessed were.
Hearing that Mu Ye was treating them now, Xu Shengqun could not help wiping the corner of his mouth.
They entered the kitchen.
Xu Yuan saw an enormous platter.
Mu Ye stepped forward and removed the lid from the platter. An intense fragrance instantly filled the entire room, and in that brief moment, even the concentration of ambient energy seemed to rise by several levels.
This was the Forging Masters' headquarters to begin with. Even the kitchen was Zhen Hua's private kitchen, connected to his office. Under the effects of the Soul Guidance Array, its ambient energy concentration had already been extremely high.
Xu Yuan swallowed.
"This is Sea Dragon Tendon, made from the main tendon of a hundred-year Sea Dragon that I personally caught in the sea."
The main ingredient was the primary tendon of a hundred-year Sea Dragon. Whether the seasonings or side ingredients used in its preparation, all of them absolutely qualified as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!
"Don't be fooled just because it's only a hundred-year Sea Dragon. I specially found this for you." Although Mu Ye had not seen disappointment on Xu Yuan's face at the mention of its age, he still explained what was special about the dish.
"You've only just awakened your Martial Soul. Even good things cannot be eaten in excess at once, and you definitely cannot digest energy of too high a quality. A hundred-year Sea Dragon is most suitable for you."
"Besides, this hundred-year Sea Dragon was specially selected by me. Its bloodline had mutated, and it possessed a trace of True Dragon Bloodline."
