Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Martial Soul Disease

"I see that what's recorded above are all routes for soul power operation. Is this some kind of self-created soul skill?"

After glancing at the pages, Mu Xiyue asked curiously.

"No, it's a special meditation method. But whether it's feasible still needs to be verified. If what is recorded is true, then this meditation method is quite extraordinary."

Huo Lie shook his head and replied seriously.

The fact that this Extreme Flame Meditation Method could purify the flames of fire-attribute martial souls was indeed impressive.

What distinguishes ordinary fire-type soul beasts from the King of Birds, the Fire Phoenix?

The most significant difference lies in the flames they produce. Ordinary fire-type beasts can't compare to the fire of the phoenix.

This Extreme Flame Meditation Method not only purifies flames but also enhances the quality of the soul master's inner soul power.

Improving the quality of soul power could help soul masters overcome bottlenecks. For example, take two soul masters with hammer-type martial souls. If both have the same innate soul power level, one with an ordinary hammer martial soul and the other with the Clear Sky Hammer, the latter would undoubtedly achieve far greater success.

The reason? The Clear Sky Hammer is the best weapon-type martial soul in the world, and the soul power it awakens is far superior to that of ordinary hammer martial souls.

When Huo Lie finished, Mu Xiyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. For him to speak so highly of this method, it was undoubtedly extraordinary.

"Where did you get this meditation method?"

Her curiosity deepened.

"Yesterday, when Xiaoyang and I were leaving the Sunset Forest, we came across two deceased soul masters. We found this in their storage soul guide."

Suddenly, Mu Xiyue was shocked. "A Titled Douluo fell in the Sunset Forest?"

"That's not the case."

"If not a Titled Douluo, how could the deceased's storage soul guide contain a meditation method that even amazes you?"

Mu Xiyue was perplexed.

"Well, you might find this hard to believe, but the original owner of this meditation method died under the claws of a group of Fire Wolf soul beasts, all around the thousand-year level."

Huo Lie hesitated before saying something that sounded absurd.

Mu Xiyue: "..."

At that moment, she couldn't help but doubt whether her husband's judgment had deteriorated.

A soul master capable of falling to thousand-year-level soul beasts was likely only at the three or four-ring level. How could someone like that create anything of value?

Unfortunately, she was wrong. The one who created the Extreme Flame Meditation Method was not some three or four-ring soul master. It was someone even more surprising—Mu Yang, a one-ring soul master who had just awakened his martial soul!

The next morning, Mu Yang woke up with dark circles under his eyes, looking even more exhausted than before.

Initially, he thought that with the Soul-Returning Ginseng, which could restore mental power, he could endlessly use his innate deduction ability, functioning like a perpetual motion machine. However, he overestimated himself.

Although the process of exhausting his mental power, eating ginseng to recover, and then repeating worked initially, over time, a persistent sense of mental fatigue set in.

Unlike before, where he looked sick due to mental exhaustion, now he seemed hollow to the core despite his mental power being fully replenished.

"It's over. How am I supposed to find a wife in the future?"

Standing in front of a mirror, Mu Yang sighed at his reflection, which appeared utterly drained.

---

"Xiaoyang, is your strange illness acting up again?"

In the dining room, Huo Lie was alarmed to see Mu Yang's hollow demeanor. His symptoms seemed worse than before.

Two years ago, he had invited an eight-ring Healing Soul Master to examine Mu Yang. The conclusion was that Mu Yang was perfectly healthy, even better than most children his age.

Huo Lie had hoped that acquiring his first soul ring and becoming an official soul master would alleviate this mysterious condition. However, not only had it persisted, but it had worsened.

"If he's not sick, why does he look so frail?"

It would make sense if Mu Yang were a grown man who had overexerted himself. But he was just a child who had barely awakened his martial soul!

"Xiaoyang, do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

Mu Xiyue frowned and checked his condition, only to find no abnormalities.

"I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm in excellent health," Mu Yang replied casually, waving off their concerns.

In truth, this "weakness" was a temporary aftereffect of overusing his deduction ability. It wasn't something irreversible and just required some adjustment.

Huo Lie and Mu Xiyue exchanged glances, both deeply concerned.

For them, the problem wasn't that Mu Yang looked weak. It was the fact that he was perfectly healthy yet still exhibited such symptoms.

"Xiyue, could this be related to his twin martial souls? Maybe it's a type of Martial Soul Disease?"

Huo Lie transmitted his thoughts to Mu Xiyue, voicing his speculation.

The idea wasn't entirely unfounded.

There were rare cases of soul masters whose mutated martial souls caused them to develop Martial Soul Diseases. If mutated martial souls could lead to illnesses, then perhaps twin martial souls, being an even rarer phenomenon, could do so as well.

After all, twin martial soul masters were so rare that perhaps most of them had succumbed to such complications before achieving greatness. Could Martial Soul Disease be one of the reasons?
