Time gradually passed, and the familiar fatigue of the soul returned. Unable to continue, Mu Yang had to stop today's deductions.
Afterward, instead of going straight to bed, Mu Yang gathered his energy, took out paper and pen, and began recording Lunar Refining Technique and Solar Refining Body.
When it came to his family, Mu Yang was not stingy.
Although the two techniques were profound, Mu Yang did not see them as strictly secret. They were not to be shared with outsiders, but blood relatives were not bound by this rule.
Mu Yang was well aware that, in Douluo Continent, what determined a soul master's success was not solely techniques but innate talent. Profound techniques could only serve as enhancements.
Take the original story as an example: Tang San's establishment of the Tang Sect. Back when the Buddha of Tang Clan held on tightly to its techniques, they were kept strictly confidential. Yet, after the Tang Sect was established, techniques like Mysterious Heaven Technique and Purple Demon Eye were passed down.
Even with divine inheritance and a vast collection of secret techniques, the Tang Sect eventually declined as time passed.
This shows that the soul master profession is heavily reliant on talent. External conditions and secret techniques are secondary.
With enough talent, even starting behind could lead to surpassing any second-generation prodigy in the future.
That said, Mu Yang deliberately omitted the fifth realm of Lunar Refining Spirit and only recorded the first to fourth realms.
Why? Because Mu Yang was concerned that if the technique were stolen and mastered, a soul master with spirit power breaking past the level 100 barrier might emerge in the soul master world.
After all, absolute confidentiality of secret techniques is nearly impossible.
In Douluo Continent, spiritual soul masters who possess mind control skills could extract secrets from others. Anyone under their influence could reveal all their knowledge without resistance.
For example, if a mind-controlling spiritual Titled Douluo, whose spiritual power surpasses Tang Hao's, were to target him, the Great Sumeru Hammer would no longer be exclusive to the Clear Sky Clan.
By omitting the fifth realm, Lunar Refining Spirit could at most refine spiritual power to the pseudo-divine level.
As for Solar Refining Body, its upper limit depended on the user's spirit power level. If a cultivator's spirit power level failed to reach level 100 and their comprehension didn't allow them to innovate upon the technique, the cultivation limit would remain below level 100.
For a Titled Douluo unable to reach level 100, Mu Yang would consider them worthy of attention for now. However, once He ascended to a god's position, they would be no more than ants and unworthy of concern.
Perhaps this was also Tang San's reasoning when passing down the Tang Sect's techniques?
The next morning.
In his bedroom, Mu Yang woke up feeling refreshed and resumed his deductions of the Iceflame Meditation Technique.
However, a powerful aura suddenly emerged from downstairs, spreading across the entire Blazing Academy.
"Breakthrough?"
Sensing this aura that far exceeded that of an ordinary eight-ring Soul Douluo, Mu Yang's face lit up with joy. He stopped his deductions, got out of bed, and quickly headed downstairs.
Upon arriving, he saw Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, both of whom had stayed up all night but still looked energetic and excited.
Half an hour later, Huo Lie emerged from the underground chamber, smiling as he entered the living room.
"Dad, did you really break through?"
Huo Wu ran up with excitement, her face full of joy.
"Thanks to the Immortal herb!"
Huo Lie nodded with a smile.
"Yay!"
Huo Wu jumped up in excitement.
After all, her father had reached level 90, becoming a quasi-Titled Douluo. With just one ninth soul ring, he would officially join the ranks of the titled elites. As a dutiful daughter, her joy was indescribable—who wouldn't want their father to be a powerful Titled Douluo?
"Congratulations, Uncle (Aunt's husband), on achieving Titled Douluo status!"
Huo Wushuang and Mu Yang stepped forward to congratulate him.
"Haha~ Not officially yet. It's still too early for that!"
Huo Lie laughed and waved his hand.
Though he spoke humbly, it was evident he had already thought of his future title.
"Uncle, has your martial soul evolved?"
Mu Yang asked Huo Lie.
Although he hadn't seen Huo Lie's martial soul, Mu Yang sensed a change. Huo Lie no longer exuded pure fiery explosiveness. Instead, he carried a deep, layered presence, akin to a dormant volcano on the verge of eruption.
What's more, Huo Lie's hair, originally golden brown like Huo Wushuang's, had turned black with streaks of red, resembling cooling magma.
"Martial soul, possess!"
Hearing this, Huo Lie smiled and released his martial soul with a low shout.
Instantly, black and red flames surged around him. Huo Lie's body bulked up, his skin was covered in a layer of hot, black-red scales, his hands turned into dragon claws, and two horns grew from his head.
Behind him, a massive shadow of a ferocious dragon appeared, its scales black and red interwoven, with two horns, four claws, and wings.
Faced with Huo Lie's martial soul possession, Mu Yang and Huo Wu remained unaffected due to Huo Lie's lack of targeted intent. However, Huo Wushuang's reaction was different.
Upon seeing the newly evolved black-and-red dragon martial soul, Huo Wushuang, with his One-Horned Fiery Tyrant Dragon martial soul, trembled all over. His legs weakened, and he dared not summon even a shred of resistance.
Clearly, even though Huo Lie hadn't released his martial soul suppression,Huo Wushuang still suffered from it. Due to the vast power gap, this usually subtle suppression became magnified exponentially.
"Is it dual fire and earth attributes? Or a fusion of fire and earth into magma?"
After carefully observing the black-and-red dragon shadow, Mu Yang asked Fire Lie.
"It's fire and earth dual attributes, but I named it Magma Tyrant Dragon."
Truthfully, Huo Lie felt both excited and slightly disappointed.
By consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Huo Lie, who was already close to level 89, directly broke through to level 90, becoming a quasi-Titled Douluo. His martial soul also evolved into a stronger Magma Tyrant Dragon.
There was no doubt that this evolved martial soul, derived from the top-tier beast martial soul One-Horned Fire Tyrant Dragon,was now one of the continent's strongest. It might even rival the "strongest beast martial soul," the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
While the evolution was a blessing—its fire and earth dual attributes perfectly matched the magma mimicry training grounds of Blazing Academy—it also came with a downside.
The addition of earth attributes meant Huo Lie could no longer cultivate pure fire techniques like Extreme Flame Meditation.
The dream of achieving Extreme Fire now seemed unattainable.
