Douluo: I Achieve Supremacy with Life Blue Silver Grass

"What condition?!"

Upon hearing that agreeing to Ye Yu's terms could not only grant her the Ten-Thousand-Year Immolation Flame Right Arm Bone, but also the opportunity to evolve her Martial Soul, Huo Wu couldn't help but feel thrilled and excited.

If anyone else had claimed they could help her evolve her Martial Soul, Huo Wu absolutely wouldn't have believed them so easily.

But Ye Yu was different!

After Ye Yu stunned the continent by crushing Yu Tianheng in a single strike, many curious parties had investigated his background—only to learn that he had been born in a remote border town, with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and a barely passable rank 1 innate Spirit Power.

Everything he had achieved was purely by his own strength, constantly evolving his Martial Soul—transforming it from Blue Silver Grass into that towering crystal-blue tree he revealed at the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, one that gleamed with starlight, moonlight, and sunlight from within its branches and trunk like a celestial being descended to earth.

And beside him stood Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing—whose Martial Souls were also said to have undergone evolution.

That couldn't be a coincidence!

There was no doubt that Ye Yu had discovered a method for Martial Soul Evolution.

If not for his overwhelming strength, the backing of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, and his close ties with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, he likely would have already been kidnapped by various factions and Spirit Masters trying to force out the secret of his Martial Soul's evolution!

"It's very simple."

Facing Huo Wu's eager questioning, Ye Yu smiled faintly and replied calmly:

"Whether it's this Ten-Thousand-Year Immolation Flame Right Arm Bone or the method for evolving a Martial Soul… these are among the rarest treasures in the world. No amount of money can buy them.

"If it were just anyone, I wouldn't even consider giving them away."

"But if it's one of my own… then it's a different story."

Ye Yu cast a meaningful glance at Huo Wu.

"As long as you acknowledge me as your master, I'll give you this Ten-Thousand-Year Immolation Flame Right Arm Bone right now."

"And in the future, so long as you perform to my satisfaction—helping you evolve your Martial Soul will not be out of the question."

At his words, Huo Wu immediately fell into hesitation and inner conflict.

As a proud and strong-willed woman, Huo Wu had always yearned for power.

But at the same time, she didn't want to easily give up her freedom.

Beside her, upon hearing that Ye Yu wanted Huo Wu to become his subordinate, Huo Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang were visibly alarmed.

Acknowledging a master was no trivial matter on the Douluo Continent. It was a sacred and solemn act. Once done, one had to place their master's interests above all else and remain completely loyal—betrayal was not tolerated, and even coerced subordinates were still scorned by the Spirit Master world.

In the original story, this was why Meng Shu, the Dragon Duke of Unrivaled Dragon Serpent, dared to force Tang San to acknowledge him as master—because the rules protected those recognized as masters from betrayal or vengeance.

If Ye Yu had only offered a ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone in exchange for Huo Wu's submission, Huo Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang would have flatly refused.

But he also offered the chance to evolve her Martial Soul—that changed everything.

Compared to a Spirit Bone, which could only be passed down individually, a Martial Soul that had undergone evolution could potentially give rise to an entire Spirit Master clan, like a tree branching out across generations.

So in the end, Huo Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang said nothing—choosing to leave the decision to Huo Wu.

"You're really certain… you can help me evolve my Martial Soul?"

Though she had always held her self-respect close, Huo Wu's desire for strength and to explore greater heights ultimately won out. Gritting her teeth, she looked straight at Ye Yu and asked.

"I'm certain."

Ye Yu gave a calm smile and said slowly, "As long as you fulfill your role as my subordinate and behave as expected—earning my approval—I will help you evolve your Martial Soul."

"If you meet all my conditions, yet I still fail to help you—then you're free to keep the Spirit Bone. I won't stop you."

"Fine!"

Upon hearing those words, Huo Wu finally made her decision.

Her beautiful, sharp-featured face firmed with determination.

She immediately dropped to one knee, placed her right hand over her heart, and bowed deeply.

"Huo Wu… greets her master!"

As she uttered the word "master," her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.

But for the sake of evolving her Martial Soul—

Even though one could call their master "Lord" instead, to make the act less submissive—

Huo Wu chose to do it properly and sincerely, in order to gain Ye Yu's trust as quickly as possible and attain her goal.

For the sake of strength and power,

She, Huo Wu, was willing to cast aside everything unnecessary.

She had already given up countless personal pleasures to pour herself wholly into training her Spirit Power, refining her body, and perfecting her combat techniques.

Now she was willing to go even further—for Martial Soul Evolution, she would do what others could not.

That was Huo Wu!

Ye Yu hadn't expected Huo Wu to be so exacting in her oath of allegiance.

Hearing her call him "Master" directly made him chuckle helplessly.

But he was always a man of his word.

Since Huo Wu had willingly submitted, and none of his other companions were suited to this Spirit Bone anyway—

Ye Yu reached into his storage Soul Tool, the Jade Dragon Bracelet, and pulled out the Ten-Thousand-Year Immolation Flame Right Arm Bone, handing it to her.

"Here. Go ahead and fuse with it."

"I'm a man of my word."

Ye Yu smiled as he spoke.

As Huo Wu looked at the arm bone—deep crimson like molten jade, with flame-like patterns pulsing inside it and radiating intense fire-type energy—she felt a rush of joy in her heart.

Ye Yu's trustworthiness also earned her admiration.

As someone proud and drawn to strength, Huo Wu's ideal partner had to be someone who could completely dominate her in every way.

He had to possess overwhelming power—enough to defeat her.

He had to be talented and capable.

Able to face problems calmly and decisively.

Someone who kept his word and acted with confident boldness.

And, of course… handsome.

All of a sudden, Huo Wu realized—

Ye Yu fit all of her criteria.

That realization softened the resistance she felt about submitting to him.

"Thank you, Master."

With a respectful bow, Huo Wu accepted the Spirit Bone.

She then sat down right in the living room, preparing to fuse with the Ten-Thousand-Year Immolation Flame Right Arm Bone.

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo, watching from the side, thought Ye Yu had made a good trade—exchanging a Spirit Bone and a medicinal herb for someone as gifted as Huo Wu.

After all, talents were far more valuable than unused treasures.

On the other hand, Huo Xiaotian and Huo Wushuang were filled with complicated feelings.

But when they thought about Ye Yu's talent, strength, and boundless future potential—

The fact that so many people were dreaming of building ties with him in advance—

And the fact that he had even offered a Spirit Bone and the hope of Martial Soul Evolution—

In the end, they could only sigh and think to themselves:

This deal… really wasn't a loss.
