Douluo: Martial Soul Body, I’m True Master

Having played the role for some time now, Qian Renxue had completely integrated into the identity of Heaven Dou’s First Prince, Xue Qinghe, with no flaws to be found in her every word and action.

“I wonder who your teacher is, Tang Shan, to be able to Cultivate such an extraordinary Genius as you.”

Xue Qinghe’s eyes were full of inquiry, her fingers subconsciously tapping on the tabletop; the subtle sound hid a trace of imperceptible anxiety.

“I don’t know.

He only said he would take me and my elder brother as disciples, but never mentioned his specific identity.”

Tang Shan’s answer did not exceed Xue Qinghe’s expectations.

The Grandmaster was cautious by nature; it was only normal to take disciples without revealing his true identity, but in this way, her hope of meeting the Grandmaster might fall through.

From the way the two interacted with the Grandmaster, it was clear that the Grandmaster held the dominant position.

Thinking about it, it made sense; no matter how brilliant the talent of the Tang brothers was, before that gentleman, they were likely not even worth mentioning.

Although she thought so, on the surface, Xue Qinghe did not give up and still wanted to try again.

“I wonder if I might have the honor of meeting your esteemed teacher?”

Tang Shan shook his head, a hint of regret on his face, and his tone grew heavier.

“After the teacher taught me and my elder brother all the knowledge he could impart, he went into Death Seclusion.

He said that if he succeeds, he will reach the Peak of the World; if he fails, he will have stepped out onto a wrong path for future Spirit Masters.”

The hand Xue Qinghe used to hold the teacup trembled violently, and a few drops of tea splashed out, landing on the luxurious carpet and spreading into a small wet stain.

She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, her lowered eyelids masking the expression on her face; no one could see her thoughts at this moment.

“Reaching the Peak of the World…

is he attempting a Breakthrough toward Grandfather’s Realm?

Stepping out onto a wrong path—Sir, what on earth are you thinking?

I hope you succeed; I haven’t even met you yet—”

Thoughts surged in her mind, and Xue Qinghe lost her composure.

One moment she was shocked that the ‘Grandmaster’ was supposedly about to Breakthrough to the Limit Douluo Realm, and the next she was worried about what would happen if his Breakthrough failed and he perished.

Tang Shan had no idea how much trouble his roundabout words had caused the Xue Qinghe before him.

Even if he knew, he wouldn’t change his story.

Initially, he intended to say the Grandmaster was his teacher who had unfortunately passed away, leaving him and his brother as the only two successors.

But on second thought, that explanation was both crude and inappropriate.

Now that the Grandmaster’s theories were already showing their brilliance, no one knew if he possessed special treasures or wealth; it was better to leave himself a sufficiently powerful background for safety.

Then, combined with the power behind Xue Qinghe, his safety would be guaranteed in the short term.

As for the “Peak of the World,” a Titled Douluo would probably count as that.

Besides, he only said he was in Death Seclusion and never mentioned a Breakthrough to Titled Douluo; whatever everyone else imagined afterward had little to do with him.

Tang Shan and Qian Renxue’s thoughts were completely misaligned, yet they somehow reached the same consensus—the Grandmaster in Death Seclusion was itself an unparalleled deterrent.

“Tang Shan, I wonder if you could tell me about your teacher’s theories regarding Spirit research?

I’ve always been quite curious about Spirit Master Cultivation—”

.

As he spoke, a bitter smile appeared on Xue Qinghe’s face, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.

“When my Spirit Awakened, my Innate Soul Power was not high.

Instead of wasting time on Cultivation, I preferred to focus on the art of governing the country.

But in my heart, I still have some yearning to become a powerhouse.

In recent years, I have often read the theories of that famous Grandmaster.”

Still testing.

Obviously, Xue Qinghe wanted Tang Shan to personally admit that his teacher was that Grandmaster.

But how could Tang Shan easily let her scheme succeed?

Maintaining the state of “I know you know who my teacher is, but I just won’t admit it” was actually safer.

“That’s certainly no problem.

It’s just that some of my teacher’s Cultivation concepts are too shocking.

In my opinion, many might not be accepted by other Spirit Masters.

Your Highness, you must be mentally prepared.”

“Theories that aren’t accepted can still exist.

As long as they are correct, they will be recognized by other Spirit Masters one day.”

Xue Qinghe stood by “Tang Shan’s teacher” without hesitation.

Just kidding, that Grandmaster’s previous theories were already subversive enough and were still accepted.

Could it be that Tang Shan’s teacher’s subsequent theories were even more contrary to common sense?

Just then, the carriage’s speed gradually slowed down; they had clearly arrived at their destination.

“Let’s talk in detail after we get off.”

Xue Qinghe opened the carriage door and stepped aside, signaling for Tang Shan and the other to get off first.

“Your Highness, you are too kind; you’re overwhelming me.”

Tang Shan hurriedly got out of the carriage, tears faintly appearing in his eyes, looking like he was overwhelmed by the favor.

Xue Qinghe was very satisfied with his performance and secretly calculated: No matter how intelligent and mature, he is still just a seven-year-old child who can be easily manipulated.

With a few more favors and a generous Cultivation package, she could 100% win over this Cultivation Genius.

As for the previous words about “insufficient talent” and “the Heaven Dou Empire won’t clash with Spirit Hall for you,” what a joke.

What Xue Qinghe says, what does it have to do with me, Qian Renxue?

Walking into the hall, the decoration was relatively simple.

This was, after all, a military residence arranged by General, not Xue Qinghe’s prince’s mansion, so naturally, there weren’t many luxurious decorations.

The three sat down in their respective seats as host and guests, and guards soon brought fruit platters and drinks.

Xue Qinghe looked at Tang Shan with burning eyes, clearly full of expectation as to whether the “Grandmaster” had researched new Spirit mysteries.

From beginning to end, Su Yuntao didn’t interrupt.

He knew that his role this time was to cooperate; whatever Tang Shan said, he would just follow along.

“Your Highness, how about I first give you a simple explanation of my teacher’s understanding of the Martial Soul True Body?”

Glimpsing Su Yuntao sitting silently to the side, Tang Shan had an idea.

In his view, Su Yuntao’s “Martial Soul Fusion” ability happened to be a suitable theory.

It wouldn’t affect top-tier Spirit Masters in the short term, yet it could affect low-level Spirit Masters to some extent, making it both steady and safe.

As for the real killer moves hidden away, such as theories related to the Soul Core, Tang Shan would absolutely not leak a single bit in the short term.

No one could say for sure how those three existences who broke through to Limit Douluo without condensing a Soul Core would grow to what monstrous degree if they obtained the method or idea for condensing a Soul Core.

“Related to the Martial Soul True Body?”

Xue Qinghe was somewhat surprised; she didn’t expect that the starting point of the “Grandmaster’s” theory this time would be so high.

“That’s right, the Martial Soul True Body.”

Tang Shan nodded, his tone certain.

“In my teacher’s view, no matter what the Spirit is, the seventh Spirit Ability is always the Martial Soul True Body.

This in itself shows that this Spirit Ability is exceptionally special.

To this end, he conducted specialized, in-depth research.

Your Highness, how do you understand the four words ‘Martial Soul True Body’?”

“Martial Soul True Body…

could it be releasing the true power of the Spirit?”

Xue Qinghe had never pondered the seventh Spirit Ability from a deep perspective and could only barely give an answer based on the literal meaning.

Tang Shan didn’t say whether her understanding was correct or not, but simply followed the topic and spoke about his own views on the Martial Soul True Body.

“In my teacher’s eyes, a Spirit is actually like our companion; it is something our parents gave us and was born with us.

It’s just that it waits until we are six years old to fully Awaken, and the Cultivation of a Spirit is actually similar to the process of us humans growing into adults.”

This perspective was too novel; it was the first time Xue Qinghe had heard of it.

She immediately sat up straight, listening intently to Tang Shan’s next words, with a faint premonition in her heart that she might be about to have a brand-new door opened for her by the “Grandmaster’s” theory once again.

“Our bodies need to eat and drink to grow, and the growth of a Spirit also needs to eat and drink—which is spirit power;

If we want to grow and develop well, we need various foods and even some medicinal materials to supplement nutrition; and if a Spirit wants to grow better and continue to Breakthrough, it needs spirit rings;

If we want to develop more robustly, we need to exercise our bodies; and if a Spirit wants to erupt with greater power, it needs to improve the compatibility between us and the Spirit—”

Inspiration constantly burst in her mind.

Xue Qinghe followed Tang Shan’s train of thought and kept thinking, only feeling that her understanding of Spirits and Cultivation had been almost completely refreshed.

“spirit power is the ordinary food for the Spirit, spirit rings are the high-end food for the Spirit, and improving compatibility with the Spirit is the way to exercise the Spirit.

All these accumulations will be completely realized when breaking through to the Seven Rings stage, revealing the power of the Martial Soul True Body.”

The corners of Tang Shan’s mouth rose slightly, and every word he spoke was forceful, like a thunderclap exploding in Xue Qinghe’s ears.

“Cultivating a Spirit is essentially another form of ‘Raising a Person.’ The strength of your future Martial Soul True Body might depend on whether your early cultivation of the Spirit was in place.”

The room instantly fell into a brief silence, leaving only the sound of Xue Qinghe’s slightly hurried breathing.

After a long while, she barely managed to calm her mind, her tone trembling slightly: “Tang Shan, you mean that the Martial Soul True Body is indeed a fixed seventh Spirit Ability, but the strength of the Martial Soul True Body is not fixed?

No, I mean, the Cultivation results before becoming a Spirit Saint will all completely bear fruit during the stage of obtaining the seventh spirit ring, right?”

Tang Shan Seeing that she was so emotional,Fearing she would reveal a flaw,I quickly reminded:”Your Highness,Please be patient.,You’re too excited..”

With his reminder, Xue Qinghe slowly suppressed her surging thoughts.

Although the theory Tang Shan spoke of seemed a bit vague and didn’t give a specific Cultivation method, who was she?

She was the granddaughter of the High Priest of the Hall of Worship, and having been influenced by what she saw and heard since childhood, she already had extraordinary insights into Cultivation.

Now, hearing the “Grandmaster’s” theory, many previously scattered perceptions seemed to have their dust wiped away and were perfectly linked by a single line—Spirit Cultivation is no different from Raising a Person; spirit power is ordinary food, and when it grows to a certain stage, it needs high-end food (spirit rings) to continue to Breakthrough; and to make the Spirit more powerful, one must improve their compatibility with the Spirit.

What happens after improving compatibility?

Xue Qinghe could already faintly guess the subsequent direction.

Qian Daoliu’s kind voice seemed to ring in her ears again: “Little Xue, you must perceive your Spirit more and earnestly comprehend it from the very beginning of Cultivation.

Otherwise, after you become a Titled Douluo, you will have reached the end of the road, and your body will no longer be able to hold a single trace of spirit power.

The Cultivation of a Titled Douluo is essentially opening up one’s own Spirit, raising its upper limit, and then using a higher quality Spirit to refine the spirit power in the body, removing Impurities while improving the quality of spirit power, thereby making room for the spirit power to further increase.”
