Douluo Dalu: This Soul Master is to Weird

Seeing this, Shui Yanyu's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the bound pages handed to her by Mu Yang.

Having witnessed the effectiveness of Extreme Ice Meditation Technique before, Shui Yanyu wouldn't doubt Mu Yang's words. If he said it was effective, then it certainly was—at most, he couldn't guarantee a 100% success rate.

"Soul Core?"

Seeing the title Soul Core Secret Method on the cover, Shui Yanyu raised her eyebrows slightly. Just like the Extreme Ice recorded in Extreme Ice Meditation Technique, this was another new term she had never heard of before.

Although she had yet to fully cultivate that so-called Extreme Ice, Shui Yanyu had already noticed that as her training progressed, the ice she formed with her Ice Sparrow Martial Soul had significantly improved in quality.

While some of this was due to her rising soul power rank, Extreme Ice Meditation Technique was undoubtedly an important factor.

After a quick skim, Shui Yanyu generally understood why this Soul Core Secret Method could help Soul Masters break through bottlenecks.

The key reason was that once successfully condensed, the Soul Core could refine a Soul Master's soul power quality.

For those stuck at a bottleneck, just a slight increase in soul power quality could greatly increase their chances of breaking through.

What an incredible method!

"Xiao Yang, could it be that your uncle-in-law was able to break through because of this Soul Core Secret Method?"

Suppressing her excitement, Shui Yanyu, who felt like the Title Douluo realm was within her grasp, couldn't help but ask.

"Uh… no. My uncle-in-law's breakthrough was due to a different opportunity, not this method. Aside from me, you're actually the first person on the continent to learn about the Soul Core Secret Method."

Mu Yang shook his head.

Back then, Huo Lie had advanced to Title Douluo because of the effects of consuming an immortal herb, which had nothing to do with this secret method.

"Is that so? Not bad, you've got a good heart—Auntie didn't dote on you for nothing!"

Hearing that she was the first to receive this technique, Shui Yanyu smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

As for Mu Yang's explanation that Huo Lie had another opportunity, she didn't press further, though she had her own guesses.

She had long noticed the sudden surge in soul power ranks of her niece Shui Bing'er and her younger niece Shui Yue'er.

At first, she thought they had refined high-quality soul bones, but as time went on, their training speed remained abnormally fast. That's when Shui Yanyu realized—this wasn't just about refining soul bones. Their soul power must have not only increased rapidly but also undergone some kind of transformation that boosted their cultivation speed.

And it wasn't just them—Mu Yang was the same, and his speed was even more exaggerated.

Shui Yanyu had been envious, of course, but she also understood that if this transformation was caused by some treasure, then its quantity must have been extremely limited.

Besides, no matter how miraculous a treasure was, it would always have a limit to its effectiveness. If it could infinitely improve cultivation, the continent would have been filled with top-tier experts by now. There was no way Mu Yang was the only one to have obtained such a thing.

She was already an eight-ring high-level Soul Master. There was no need to fixate on those treasures. As long as she held on tightly to this rising golden thigh, she could soar to greater heights alongside him.

But… it seemed that even before this golden thigh had fully grown, she was about to "soar" on her own?

For a Soul Master who hadn't been born with innate rank nine soul power, reaching the Title Douluo realm was practically ascending to the heavens!

"Auntie, this technique carries some risks. It requires strong soul power control and spiritual power. Be cautious when cultivating it. Also, if the academy has any elders who have reached rank 89, you may pass it on to them as well."

Mu Yang said to Shui Yanyu.

His unspoken implication was clear—anyone who hadn't reached rank 89 yet shouldn't be given the method.

There were two reasons for this.

First, in this era where spiritual power cultivation was uncommon, Soul Masters who hadn't reached eight rings wouldn't have the necessary soul power control or spiritual strength. Attempting to condense a Soul Core could be dangerous.

Second, for those at the eight-ring level but not yet at the peak of rank 89, unless they were absolute geniuses, forming a Soul Core too early wouldn't be of much use. It was better to wait until they hit a bottleneck and use it to break through to rank 90 and become a Title Douluo.

And the third reason? To reduce the chances of the Soul Core Secret Method leaking out.

The Douluo Continent wasn't some high-martial world—at least, not on the planet Douluo. Just relying on verbal secrecy wasn't enough to ensure the method wouldn't spread.

If a powerful spirit-type Soul Master with hypnotic abilities came along, they could extract any information stored in someone's mind.

But if it was only passed on to Soul Masters at the peak of rank 89, that would be a different matter.

As long as they successfully condensed a Soul Core, they could immediately break through to rank 90 and become a Title Douluo.

Trying to extract information from a Title Douluo using hypnotic soul skills? That wasn't going to be easy. And without knowing in advance how valuable the Soul Core Secret Method was, no faction would attempt something so drastic.

After all, there probably weren't any soul skills that could permanently alter memories—at least not at the ten-thousand-year level.

If someone tried this and wanted to keep it a secret, they would have to kill the victim afterward. But the birth and death of every Title Douluo was a major event in the Soul Master world.

Even the Spirit Hall couldn't just kill a Title Douluo from another faction over a technique. If word got out, their reputation would be completely ruined.

Of course, expecting the Soul Core Secret Method to remain a secret forever was unrealistic.

A technique with such broad applicability and powerful effects would inevitably leak out sooner or later.

At first, people might not pay attention to Soul Cores, but once their benefits became widely recognized, the secret method would be impossible to keep hidden.

It was just like the Clear Sky School's legendary technique, Grand Sumeru Hammer.

If it was something only the Clear Sky Sect could practice, people might not care. But because it was a universal technique with great power, its existence was well-known across the continent.

And if the Clear Sky Sect ever lost its strongest experts, there would be no shortage of people willing to band together and force them to hand over the technique.

If they refused? Then they'd be wiped out—simple as that.

"Don't worry. I know how important this is. I won't spread this technique around."

Shui Yanyu nodded seriously.

Aside from retired elders, she was currently the only eight-ring Soul Douluo in Tianshui Academy. The other senior figures were all seven-ring Soul Sages.

And since the Soul Core Secret Method wasn't suitable for Soul Masters below the eight-ring level, Shui Yanyu had no intention of passing it on.

As for the retired elders?

Sky Water Academy was no match for the Seven Great Sects. While many talented students had passed through its halls, most left after graduation, and only a few stayed on as teachers. Maintaining a continuous lineage of eight-ring Soul Douluo was already an achievement.

In fact, among the academy's past deans, few had ever reached rank 89.

As such, among the retired elders, not a single one was above rank 85. And given their age, there was no point in putting them through such a risky process.

After all, seeing a path to becoming a Title Douluo but knowing they didn't have enough time left to walk it… that would be too cruel.

Mu Yang nodded. "Alright then, Auntie, you can give it a try first. If you have any questions, just ask me."

As the creator of the Soul Core Secret Method, Mu Yang hadn't practiced it himself yet, but his theoretical knowledge was impeccable.
