Douluo Dalu: This Soul Master is to Weird

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Crazy Speculations



"Xiao Yang, can you tell me more about the dream you had?"

After thinking for a moment, Huo Lie asked Mu Yang.

"It was a figure sitting on a majestic throne, wearing splendid armor, but I couldn't see their face.

I could feel their terrifying strength, far surpassing the Jade Phosphorus Douluo we encountered before. Just sitting there, they gave me the impression of being the ruler of all heaven and earth.

Afterward, they said they would grant me a secret technique and asked me to seek out Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan to exchange it for knowledge about immortal-grade herbs."

Mu Yang replied with a completely fabricated tale.

You ask me who this figure is? Uh... even I don't know who I'm talking about.

But if I say they exist, then they exist. Whether you believe it or not, I certainly do.

After pausing for a moment, Mu Yang asked Huo Lie, "Uncle, who is this Yang Wudi? And what are immortal-grade herbs? Are there levels to herbs as well?"

Hearing this, Huo Lie's eyelid twitched.

A figure stronger than the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo?

It must be known that Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo with nine soul rings. Even though his strength is not top-tier among Titled Douluo, he's still a Titled Douluo.

Someone countless times stronger than a Titled Douluo would at least need to be someone on the level of Qian Daoliu, the "Sky Invincible" of the Spirit Hall, or Tang Chen, the "Land Invincible" of the former Clear Sky Sect—continental peak powerhouses.

And that's being conservative; it might even be one of the legendary gods.

Huo Lie couldn't be blamed for overthinking. The "Extreme Flame Meditation Method" he had stumbled upon in the Sunset Forest was simply too extraordinary.

Huo Lie had long wondered why two small fry who had perished under the claws of a pack of thousand-year wolf beasts possessed such an incredible meditation method.

If this "Extreme Flame Meditation Method" were the work of an unknown god, it would all make sense.

Surely, this must mean that his clever and talented nephew, Mu Yang, had caught the eye of this deity. Through the hands of those two deceased individuals and Mu Yang, the deity had passed down the "Extreme Flame Meditation Method".

And now, this so-called "haunting" must also be the deity bestowing benefits upon Mu Yang!

As for immortal-grade herbs? Huo Lie didn't know what they were, but just hearing the term, he could tell they were extraordinary. Otherwise, how could they be worthy of the word "immortal"?

At this moment, Huo Lie's imagination began running wild. The more he speculated, the more he felt his guesses aligned with the truth.

Mu Yang: Masterful, truly masterful!

After a while, snapping out of his wild thoughts, Huo Lie smiled and said, "Xiao Yang, don't worry about this. I'll handle it for you!

As far as I know, the Breaking Clan was once affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect. They're fairly well-known in the soul master world. Although I don't currently know where they've relocated, it shouldn't be difficult to find out.

Plus, with the secret technique as an exchange, I doubt the Breaking Clan would hesitate to share their knowledge about those immortal-grade herbs."

If it were during the Clear Sky Sect's prime, Huo Lie might not have had this confidence. But things are different now. Without the Clear Sky Sect as their backing, the Breaking Clan's strength likely doesn't even compare to his Blazing Fire Academy.

Not to mention trading sincerely with the secret technique—if push came to shove, Huo Lie wouldn't mind using force to settle the matter!

"Uh... Uncle, don't you think my dream sounds a bit absurd?"

Mu Yang was stunned, staring at Huo Lie in disbelief.

He had prepared for a drawn-out debate with his uncle, but unexpectedly, Huo Lie agreed immediately.

Huo Lie patted Mu Yang's shoulder and said, "Xiao Yang, there's no need for you to say more or mention this to anyone else. Just focus on your cultivation from now on. Your uncle and aunt will handle everything!"

With that, Huo Lie turned to Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, his expression serious as he said, "The two of you as well—once you leave this room, forget everything about this incident."

In Huo Lie's eyes, there are always intelligent people in the world. Even the slightest mention of this could lead someone to piece together the truth.

Even if the chances were slim, Huo Lie didn't want to risk it.

He just wanted to ensure the steady growth of Mu Yang, who had been blessed by a great deity. Perhaps, in the future, worldly invincibility would not be the end for Mu Yang—he might even glimpse the legendary deity realm of the soul master world!

Tsk... Just imagining it made him a little excited!

Huo Lie wasted no time. After copying down the secret technique, "Soul Light Body Shield", he promptly arranged his academy affairs and took a carriage to Arad City, the capital of the Hetonmar Province, where Blazing Fire City was located.

In the world of soul masters, the Breaking Clan wasn't a major power, but they weren't nobodies either. Their reputation ensured that intelligence networks of various factions would pay some attention to them.

While their secrets might be elusive, public information about them would certainly exist.

When it came to intelligence capabilities within the Heaven Dou Empire, the best sources were the Heaven Dou Empire's government, the Spirit Hall, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Blazing Fire Academy had no ties with the Spirit Hall, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was far away in Heaven Dou City. Naturally, Huo Lie sought help from the Empire's government.

The administrative centers of provincial capitals ranked only below the imperial capital of Heaven Dou City in terms of importance. For intelligence that wasn't too secretive, the lord's mansion in such cities often maintained archives.

That night, under the moonlight.

On the balcony of his bedroom, bathed in the moon's glow, Mu Yang quietly cultivated the "Lunar Refinement Technique".

Time passed silently, and suddenly, the faint fluctuations of mental power emanating from Mu Yang intensified dramatically, followed by a surge in the strength of his spiritual energy.

"Second phase, half-moon, achieved!"

In his spiritual sea, Mu Yang observed the semi-materialized illusory full moon, which had begun transforming into a crescent moon. He nodded in satisfaction.

As his cultivation progressed, the illusory full moon in his spiritual sea would become more solid while transitioning into a crescent moon. Once it turned into a fully materialized crescent, it would signify that his "Lunar Refinement Technique" had reached the second-phase, half-moon stage. At that point, his mental strength would rival that of an ordinary Soul Emperor with sixty soul ranks.

Before breaking through to the Soul Grandmaster stage, Mu Yang had already cultivated the "Lunar Refinement Technique" to its first phase Ilusory moon stage.

Originally, he thought that advancing his soul power would naturally allow him to break into the second-phase half-moon stage. However, due to the disparity between his high spiritual level and his relatively lower soul power, the spiritual boost from his soul power advancement wasn't enough for a breakthrough.

Fortunately, the gap wasn't large, and he managed to bridge it within a few days.

Eagerly, Mu Yang began experimenting with the body-refining technique he had been "forced to pause" earlier.

"Hmm... The efficiency of deductions has indeed improved significantly."

The moment he activated his deduction talent, Mu Yang noticed a qualitative leap in its efficiency after his mental strength reached the second-phase half-moon stage.

In addition to the faster deductions, his spiritual energy also became more durable, indirectly increasing his deduction endurance.

With the overall improvements brought by this breakthrough, it wouldn't take long for his body-refining technique to come to fruition.
