Another Innate Full Soul Pill
"Not bad, not bad. As expected of a character who played a very important role in the protagonist's team in the original story. It was only a basic Favorability Treasure Chest, yet it contained three such precious treasures-"
"Aweshome!!"
Whether it was the somewhat indecent [Intestine Enhancement], the [Food Soul Incantation Modification Token] that wouldn't work on him, or the [Innate Full Soul Pill] that both he and others could use,
all of them were exceptionally precious treasures.
Dai Mubai was extremely content and satisfied that the chest he had farmed from Oscar had yielded such precious treasures.
As for the three treasures,
he didn't intend to use the [Food Soul Incantation Modification Token] on Oscar for the time being.
He planned to wait a while longer, and for Oscar's favorability toward him to rise further, making things safer overall and Oscar more trustworthy.
Then he would use the food soul incantation modification ability on Oscar.
As for the [Innate Full Soul Pill], he had no plans to train a subordinate from scratch. For now, his two underlings, Oscar and Ma Hongjun, were enough for him to train.
But he didn't intend to give this Innate Full Soul Pill to Oscar or Ma Hongjun either.
Oscar had Innate Full Soul Power, so his Innate Soul Power talent was already at its peak. He had no need for it at all.
Ma Hongjun's innate level-nine Soul Power talent was already more than enough, and there was no need to strengthen it to absolute perfection.
Although if Ma Hongjun took the Innate Full Soul Pill, there was a very high chance it would resolve the problem of his incomplete Martial Soul Mutation, which caused Evil Fire to develop as his Soul Power circulated,
even if it couldn't resolve the problem completely, it would certainly greatly ease and lessen the effects of the Evil Fire.
But the [Innate Full Soul Pill] was simply too precious.
He knew that attaching a Soul Ring from a Soul Beast with a phoenix bloodline, taking the [Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower], or refining the inner core of the exotic [Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent] could solve Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul problem.
Under those circumstances, giving Ma Hongjun the Innate Full Soul Pill to take would be something of a wanton waste of a heavenly treasure.
Besides, even if he intended to give it to someone else, Dai Mubai's first consideration would be his fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing.
After all, Zhu Zhuqing's Innate Soul Power talent was only level seven, the same as his original body's. Not only did she have more room for improvement than Ma Hongjun, but she also had greater need of a talent boost.
Of course, he still hadn't decided whether to give it to Zhu Zhuqing.
After all, as things stood, there was a rift between him and Zhu Zhuqing, and they hadn't gotten together.
Therefore, how the [Innate Full Soul Pill] would be used depended on how his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing progressed and developed.
If things didn't go as he hoped, or if his [Evil Eye White Tiger] Martial Soul was completed and advanced to the divine-level [Evil-Eyed White Tiger Holy King] Martial Soul first,
then he would naturally give himself priority in using the Innate Full Soul Pill.
After all, he wasn't sure whether the Favorability Treasure Chests he obtained later would yield another Innate Full Soul Pill, or when he might get one again.
If his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing progressed smoothly and reached a certain level before his Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul was completed and advanced,
then Dai Mubai naturally wouldn't begrudge giving the [Innate Full Soul Pill] to his fiancée Zhu Zhuqing.
As for the [Intestine Enhancement] he had obtained from Oscar's Favorability Treasure Chest this time,
"I can use it right now." With that, Dai Mubai silently recited, Use.
The sausage-shaped item floating in the system space immediately transformed into a stream of energy and entered Dai Mubai's body.
After circulating through Dai Mubai's limbs and bones, the energy finally reached his groin and entered the sleeping dragon.
Passion was burning!!
Since the [Intestine Enhancement] needed some time to complete its work, Dai Mubai paid it no further attention after using it.
Instead, he waited for the villagers hired by the academy to heat and deliver some water, then took a bath. Afterward, he went straight to bed and sat upright with his legs crossed, circulating the [White Tiger Meditation Method] passed down by the Star Luo Imperial Family and circulating his Soul Power to cultivate through Soul Power meditation.
Although Dean Flender had told him to rest well and given him the next three days off,
the Star Luo Imperial Family's cruel system for selecting an heir to the throne still loomed over him.
Until he ultimately won the competition to become heir, Dai Mubai always felt as though a sharp sword hung over his head, denying him even a moment's peace of mind-
even though his Soul Power cultivation level was already fairly high, he had set himself the short-term goal of reaching the level-fifty Soul King realm.
Until he achieved that goal, Dai Mubai would not allow himself to slack off or grow lax.
On top of that, he was all alone, finding it hard to sleep with a solitary pillow.
So he had long since decided to replace his nightly sleep with meditation and cultivation.
---[Information panel]--- Host: Dai Mubai Gender: Male Age: 13 Martial Souls: [First Martial Soul · Evil Eye White Tiger], [Second Martial Soul · Demonic Weapon Tiger Soul] Soul Power: Level 35 Soul Rings: (First Soul Ring · Heavenly Dipper Bug, 2,643 years), (Second Soul Ring · Holy Light Tiger, 6,527 years), (Third Soul Ring · Diamond Tiger, 10,013 years) Soul Skills: [First Soul Skill: White Tiger Heavenly Dipper Defense, White Tiger Mountain-Shaking Charge], [Second Soul Skill: White Tiger Holy Light Blast], [Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Body] Soul Bones: \\ External Soul Bones: [Heavenly Dipper Vertical Eye]-(Spiritual Detection, Spiritual Sharing) [Diamond Tiger Claw]-(Diamond Tiger Claw, Diamond Healing and Regeneration)
(*The Diamond Tiger Claw External Soul Bone is a left palm bone. The earlier passage said it was a right palm bone when it was fused; that has been corrected.)
This time, he had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beasts and attach Soul Rings.
Because he had attached three Soul Rings in succession, each far exceeding the normal age limit, Dai Mubai's Soul Power Level had surged.
When he absorbed the [Heavenly Dipper Bug]'s purple Soul Ring of over two thousand years, he had also absorbed an External Soul Bone for his eye.
This caused his Soul Power to increase by two levels;
Immediately afterward, he absorbed the [Holy Light Tiger] Soul Ring. Although the Soul Ring was over sixty-five hundred years old, it was only one Soul Ring, and the higher his cultivation level, the more Soul Power he needed to advance.
Thus, after absorbing the Holy Light Tiger Soul Ring, Dai Mubai's Soul Power Level rose by only one level, from level 32 to level 33;
But his Third Soul Ring once again far exceeded the conventional age limit: the black Soul Ring he absorbed was over ten thousand years old.
Besides the Soul Ring, the [Diamond Tiger] had also dropped an External Soul Bone for Dai Mubai's palm.
After refining and absorbing both the Soul Ring and the Soul Bone, Dai Mubai's Soul Power Level rose by two levels, from level 33 to level 35.
In just over half a month since transmigrating, his Soul Power Level had risen from level 29 to level 35, making him nearly as strong as his original body had been in the original story when Tang San and the others came to Shrek Academy to enroll two years later.
(*The protagonist's Soul Power Level was initially written as level 27 when he transmigrated, but many readers said that was unreasonable, so I have taken everyone's suggestions into account.
Also, considering my own plot setting for the Innate Full Soul Pill and to avoid a situation where Soul Power decreases rather than increases, I have changed the protagonist's initial Soul Power Level upon transmigration to level 29 in the later text.)
