Mu Ye did not refuse Jiang Xia's request.
On this trip, which takes us through deep-sea areas, Mu Ye would be doing a disservice to his culinary skills if he didn't try his hand at cooking with some rare ingredients.
"Is Tang Wulin from your class here this time too?" Mu Ye asked.
Jiang Xia nodded.
"Senior brother, have you seen him?"
Normally, during the final exams of the first semester, Tang Wulin should have stopped at the headquarters of the Blacksmith's Association while passing through Heaven Dou City to try and make some money.
It's normal for Mu Ye to be able to see Tang Wulin.
Mu Ye nodded.
"He's a promising talent; his vitality is even more extraordinary than yours."
Hearing Mu Ye compare his own qi and blood with Tang Wulin's, Jiang Xia curled his lip.
"I'm not good at cultivating qi and blood."
"Not good at it?"
Mu Ye laughed in exasperation.
Do you know how much good food you've eaten from me these past few years?
How could someone who isn't skilled at cultivating qi and blood consume so many highly nourishing foods?
Jiang Xia often said that he was not good at cultivating qi and blood, but Mu Ye did not believe it.
First of all, Mu Ye had witnessed Jiang Xia's state in the Broken Dream and knew that he could borrow the power of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, so theoretically he was good at physical combat.
Secondly, although Jiang Xia is not yet able to transform the illusory into the real in real time, he can cultivate using the method of transforming the illusory into the real under sufficient preparation.
He has mastered the technique of turning the abstract into the concrete.
It's just impossible to inscribe it instantly and then apply it to oneself in the same instant.
It takes at least fifteen minutes to prepare.
Therefore, in spiritual practice, Jiang Xia can utilize the ability to transform the illusory into the real.
The same applies to the cultivation of Qi and blood.
How could something so extraordinary in a dream, transforming the illusory into the real to guide spiritual practice, be anything less than excellent?
"What a pity, he belongs to Shrek and the Tang Sect."
Mu Ye sighed.
Tang Wulin's talent in cultivating qi and blood is truly astonishing, but unfortunately, it belongs to Shrek and Tang Sect.
Moreover, unlike those who joined the Tang Sect midway through their careers, Tang Wulin is a core disciple of the Tang Sect and will have the opportunity to compete for important positions such as the Hall Master of the Douluo Hall in the future.
They are the true inner circle of the inner circle.
How could Tang Wulin, in this state, possibly join the Body Sect again?
Even if he could join the Body Sect, the Body Sect would hesitate.
But it doesn't matter if it's a force that isn't a sect.
The Spirit Pagoda is acceptable to the Body Sect, but not to the Tang Sect.
The Tang Sect that Hu Jie joined was a multinational organization, while the Tang Sect that Tang Wulin joined was a sect.
There is still a difference.
Moreover, Tang Wulin's status at the Shrek Academy is different; he is also very likely to cultivate towards becoming an inner disciple.
In the future, they might even become a member of the Sea God Pavilion.
This is a different concept from studying at the Shrek Academy.
In short, given the existence of an outstanding junior like Jiang Xia, the Body Sect is unwilling to accept Tang Wulin again.
In the original novel, Mu Ye was able to make the final decision because he truly valued Tang Wulin's talent and was very grateful for his situation.
But now, in Jiang Xia, Mu Ye has also seen this system of bloodline power.
Without the novelty factor, there's naturally less motivation to grit your teeth and persevere.
Jiang Xia was somewhat surprised to sense Mu Ye Ye's attitude towards Tang Wulin.
He didn't actively try to find out about the relationship between Mu Ye and Tang Wulin.
Unexpectedly, my efforts to change things led to a complete and drastic change from the original story.
Without a doubt, Mu Ye will not help Tang Wulin undergo Martial Soul Second Awakening during this trip.
wrong.
Jiang Xia was stunned.
If it's not for Tang Wulin's Martial Soul Second Awakening, then who will it be for?
He looked at Mu Ye and found Mu Ye staring at him with a mischievous grin.
"My martial uncle has given me a task this time: to help you with your Martial Soul Second Awakening."
Jiang Xia was speechless.
"Senior brother, I know the theory of Martial Soul Second Awakening. What I'm saying is that the efficiency would be very low in this situation, right?"
Mu Ye hesitated and said, "If there's a psychological suggestion beforehand, the effect is indeed very poor, and accidents are likely to happen."
Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
As far as he knew, the Body Sect did not have Second Awakening through cultivation secrets.
After the great upheaval ten thousand years ago, the Soul Master of the Body Sect have relied on challenging their physical limits, using the potential unleashed in the moment of life and death to stimulate the Martial Soul Second Awakening.
It is said that there was a secret method ten thousand years ago.
However, after the secret technique was given to Huo Yuhao, it was not returned to the Body Sect.
In that era, Huo Yuhao rushed to the Divine Realm; how could he possibly have time to concern himself with the affairs of the Douluo Continent?
The Body Secret Art is also completely unrelated to the Body Sect.
This is the greatest regret of the Body Sect in the past ten thousand years.
Only in recent times has the Body Sect begun to slowly attempt to find its own Body Secret Art.
First, Han Tianyi entered the Spirit Pagoda, hoping to find any Body Secret Art left behind by Huo Yuhao.
Secondly, Hu Jie joined the Xingluo Tangmen branch.
Theoretically, even without Jiang Xia, Mu Ye, who encountered Tang Wulin, might indeed have attempted to use Tang Wulin to find the Body Secret Art of Shrek's inner body.
"I still prefer certainty, so I'll pass on this risky method of Second Awakening." Jiang Xia: "Senior brother, rather than continuing with this kind of Second Awakening, I'd rather find a way to develop new secret techniques to help our sect's main body Soul Master disciples achieve autonomous Second Awakening."
Mu Ye gave a wry smile.
"The idea is good, but how could our Body Sect's generations of sages not have tried it over these ten thousand years?"
"We even suspect that the Body Secret Art never existed. The original Body Secret Art that the ancestor Du Busi gave to Huo Yuhao may have just been some combat skills and cultivation methods, and had nothing to do with the Martial Soul Second Awakening."
Mu Ye's words made a lot of sense, but Jiang Xia would not change his mind.
"Even without Body Secret Art to aid in the Second Awakening, I am confident that I can create such a technique."
The so-called Second Awakening is actually evolution.
However, for Jiang Xia, there is a gradual way to evolve his Martial Soul.
At least he has his own rhythm.
Seeing how persistent Jiang Xia was, Mu Ye finally laid his cards on the table and stopped pretending.
He looked troubled.
"But this is an assignment given to me by your teacher."
Jiang Xia: "I'll talk to the teacher, senior, don't worry."
Mu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
He was actually worried about causing problems for Jiang Xia.
The methods of stimulation used by the Body Sect are too extreme and can easily go too far.
Jiang Xia's Broken Dream Martial Soul is only somewhat related to his original body; whether it can truly Second Awakening is just speculation.
If this type of attempt were to go wrong, Mu Ye wouldn't know how to face his senior apprentice afterward.
Jiang Xia's proactive refusal, followed by her offer to vouch for the other side, is exactly the outcome Mu Ye hoped for.
"We should just eat our fill on this voyage," Jiang Xia said.
Mu Ye nodded subconsciously.
"Don't worry about the food, your senior brother will get you the best. By the way, did your teacher tell you about your goals for this trip to the Star Luo Continent?"
