Although Dai Chengfeng had already guessed her identity, now that he had received a definite answer, he still could not help feeling a burst of joy.
It really is Ye Lingling!
Now, the Immortal Herb knowledge that seemed the most troublesome can actually be solved first. And if I can also bring Ye Renxin, the Medical Saint, back to the Star Luo Empire...
For a moment, Dai Chengfeng's eyes were filled with burning intensity.
After all, as a transmigrator, Dai Chengfeng understood all too well how important doctors were, even in this world of soul masters.
From the perspective of the Original Work, it seemed as though soul masters were everywhere.
But only after truly coming to Douluo Continent did Dai Chengfeng clearly and directly realize that ordinary people made up the vast majority of this world, while soul masters were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Since soul masters were already so rare, healing-type soul masters would only be even rarer.
When ordinary people fell ill, they could only see a doctor. They had no money at all to hire a healing-type soul master.
And the reason Ye Renxin was revered as the Medical Saint was not merely because of his Nine Heart Begonia martial soul and Soul Douluo cultivation, but also because of his ability to take pulses, prescribe medicine, and treat illness.
These experiences did not mean much for an individual soul master's personal growth in strength...
But for the overall development of a nation, such experience was truly priceless treasure!
However, though he was full of anticipation inside, Dai Chengfeng remained calm and composed.
He merely gave a faint nod to Ye Lingling, who was grateful to him, and to that teacher Bai Xue from Heaven Dou Royal Academy. "Since everything is fine now, we'll be leaving first."
With that said, he did not linger at all, directly turning around and leaving with Zhu Fan.
After all, this was the Star Dou Great Forest. Being too enthusiastic would only arouse vigilance.
Watching Dai Chengfeng and Zhu Fan's figures disappear from view, Bai Xue let out a long breath of relief. "It seems those two really were good people. They simply wanted to help."
"I actually wondered just now whether they might have some other motive. After all, Lingling, your martial soul is so special..."
As she spoke, a trace of guilt flashed through her eyes. "Sigh, I'll apologize next time."
Ye Lingling likewise looked in the direction where Dai Chengfeng had left, pressed her lips together, and nodded hard.
"Mm!"
"Sorr—"
As soon as they returned to their own camp, Zhu Fan could not wait to ask Dai Chengfeng curiously, "Chengfeng, how did you know that Little Girl's martial soul was Nine Heart Begonia?"
Hearing this, Dai Chengfeng said, "I told you, Uncle, you should read more books when you have time."
"Nine Heart Begonia, a miracle among martial souls. Its appearance is a pink begonia flower, composed of white and pink flower petals... It's written clearly in the books."
"And it's not just the same in appearance."
"That girl was clearly only a two-loop Soul Grandmaster, yet the healing effect of her Soul Skill was so heaven-defying. Aside from Nine Heart Begonia, what other martial soul could it be?"
"Heh-heh~"
Zhu Fan scratched his head awkwardly and gave a guilty laugh. "Chengfeng, don't make it sound like I don't know a single word."
"I do read books, actually. But they're all military books. If you want me to fight or charge into battle, I'm absolutely good at that."
"It's just that this martial soul knowledge... the moment I start reading it, I get sleepy."
At this point, Zhu Fan suddenly changed the subject. "But Chengfeng."
"Even if it is the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, she isn't from our Star Luo Empire, yet you directly had me take action..."
As he spoke, Zhu Fan revealed a teasing smile. "You little brat, don't tell me you've taken a fancy to that little girl?"
Dai Chengfeng rolled his eyes at Zhu Fan in annoyance, truly disappointed in him for failing to meet expectations.
"Uncle, let's not even talk about how old I am. You are the Imperial Guard Commander of our Star Luo Empire!"
"It's precisely because the people of our Star Luo Empire don't value talent that all the talented people have gone to Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Let's not even talk about Spirit Hall's experts..."
"Just think about all these Top martial souls in the Heaven Dou Empire alone: Clear Sky Hammer, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Seven Kill Sword, Nine Heart Begonia, Ice Phoenix..."
"And then look back at our Star Luo Empire..."
"I'm too lazy to even say it!" Dai Chengfeng sighed helplessly for a moment. "If they were all in my Star Luo Empire, why would we need to fear Spirit Hall then?"
Looking at Dai Chengfeng, a trace of surprise flashed through Zhu Fan's eyes, and then his respect became solemn. "Chengfeng, your uncle's vision was too narrow!"
"You are worthy of being the future Star Luo Emperor, and also the most suitable Star Luo Emperor!"
"Your uncle believes in you!"
"With the future Star Luo Empire in your hands, it will surely flourish day by day and completely surpass Spirit Hall!"
Dai Chengfeng said nothing more.
After dinner.
Dai Chengfeng rose at once and walked back to his tent.
Inside the tent.
Dai Chengfeng sat cross-legged on the mat and once again took the two books, Great Sumeru Hammer: Record and Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer, into his hands.
He first looked at Great Sumeru Hammer. "This soul skill, Great Sumeru Hammer, condenses all of one's strength into a single whole, then pours it all into the Clear Sky Sect's unique Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer..."
"In doing so, it can increase the user's own strength by geometric multiples, granting the purest power and attack force."
"Combined with the Great Sumeru Hammer's profound art, Ring Detonation, it can also unleash powerful energy far beyond the user's own Soul Power in a short period of time. It is entirely a path of overcoming all techniques with sheer strength."
"Any soul skill, any technique, as long as it is not absolute suppression through Soul Power, cannot contend against the purest strength and attack force of the Great Sumeru Hammer."
Then Dai Chengfeng looked at Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer. "And Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer teaches a person how to gather all of their strength into a single point, then release it in one burst."
"Looking at it this way..."
"The two truly do have an inevitable connection."
"Only by first learning how to gather all one's strength into a single point can one more easily learn how to maintain such a state at all times in battle."
"No wonder when Tang Hao taught Tang San hammer techniques back then, he started with Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer..."
Thinking this, Dai Chengfeng took a deep breath. "Since skipping Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer and directly learning Great Sumeru Hammer leaves me with no way to begin for now..."
"It seems I should change my approach as well!"
"I won't pursue direct perfection anymore. Instead, I'll create a soul skill with an extremely high potential ceiling, then use it as a foundation and gradually deduce that soul skill to its peak over time. In that case..."
"A soul skill no weaker than Great Sumeru Hammer can be achieved!"
At this moment, Dai Chengfeng suddenly felt as if a single thought had risen in his heart, bringing boundless freedom with it.
The Self-Created Soul Skill he had previously had no clue about now, almost in an instant, gave Dai Chengfeng a definite idea.
However, Dai Chengfeng still had one final point he had yet to determine.
After all, aside from fist techniques and other soul skills that used the body to fight...
Most Self-Created Soul Skills still needed a type of weapon as their foundation.
"Then, what weapon should I use as my weapon from now on..."
Hooves trampled Mount Qilian and shook the rivers and mountains; weapons rose beneath the dark yellow heavens, defying fate itself!
Almost without much hesitation, Dai Chengfeng thought of the weapon most suited to him: the king of a hundred weapons, the commander of long weapons, the ruler of the battlefield—the spear!
"White Tiger Overlord Spear!"
