Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Still Gotta Put on a Show
"Hahaha, a hidden task not only leveled me up six times but also gave me a 200,000-year right arm bone."
Listening to the system's notification, Mu Chen could hardly contain his joy.
Reading the spirit bone's description, Mu Chen felt even more elated. As far as he knew, Bibi Dong's Soft Bone Rabbit spirit bone allowed for a teleportation distance of 100 meters, costing 1% of her soul power each time. Additionally, her Invincible Golden Body lasted only three seconds and could be used three times a day.
But Mu Chen's Soft Bone Rabbit spirit bone had double the capabilities of Bibi Dong's!
How could Mu Chen not be thrilled by this?
Uh-oh!
Chrysanthemum Douluo!
Amidst his excitement, Mu Chen noticed a pair of fierce eyes glaring at him, as if wishing to tear him apart.
Mu Chen looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo. He had indeed castrated Chrysanthemum Douluo and received rich rewards, but if not handled properly, this could bring great trouble to him and those around him.
Currently, Mu Chen couldn't afford to ignore Spirit Hall.
With a calm demeanor, Mu Chen contemplated how to placate Chrysanthemum Douluo. He said, "Chrysanthemum Douluo, I understand your feelings. It was just a small favor, no need to thank me."
Thank?
Mu Chen had turned Chrysanthemum Douluo into a eunuch and was saying he should be thanked!
Chrysanthemum Douluo's soul power surged chaotically, forming a turbulent wind around him, his voice like it came from the depths of hell, "You castrated me, and you want me to thank you? If I don't kill you today, I'm not Yue Guan!"
**Soul Power +88,888**
With a system that harvested emotions, converting strong emotions into soul power for Mu Chen's upgrades, he thought, why not keep the act going?
"Wait!"
Mu Chen quickly called out, "Chrysanthemum Douluo, before you act, check your aura—hasn't it grown stronger?"
"My aura?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo paused, indeed sensing that his martial soul and combat strength seemed enhanced.
Seeing the rational glint in Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes, Mu Chen continued, "Chrysanthemum Douluo, forgive my bluntness. Flowers aren't suited for men. As a male soul master with a floral martial soul, this greatly impacts your male abilities and hinders the potential of your Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."
"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?" Chrysanthemum Douluo muttered, his tone mixed.
"Exactly, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is a celestial herb, a top-tier plant martial soul comparable to dragon and phoenix beast souls or the Clear Sky Hammer tool soul. Yet your talent is below that of most Titled Douluo. Even Poison Douluo, four levels lower, can contend with you. Why?" Mu Chen asked.
"Why?" Chrysanthemum Douluo inquired.
"Because you're male, a yang body. For a yin-rich martial soul like the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the clash of yin and yang naturally limits your martial soul's potential," Mu Chen explained.
"Martial souls have yin and yang?" Chrysanthemum Douluo questioned, having never heard such a theory.
"Of course, everything in the world has yin and yang, including martial souls. I have a feeling that in your current state, your martial soul might undergo a second awakening," Mu Chen suggested.
"Second awakening? Is that true?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked, intrigued.
A second martial soul awakening wasn't unheard of.
As an elder of Spirit Hall and a close confidant of Pope Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo knew much about soul masters, soul beasts, and martial souls.
He recalled ancient texts in Spirit Hall mentioning some unique-bloodline martial souls undergoing a second awakening, elevating their quality.
"Why not meditate and see for yourself?" Mu Chen said calmly.
Mu Chen spoke offhandedly, unsure if the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum could awaken again. However, he speculated that Chrysanthemum Douluo, now more yin after castration, might benefit. After all, Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice had always been oddly feminine, likely due to his martial soul.
Without suspicion, Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at Dugu Bo, seeing no intent of revenge, and sat to meditate.
Soon, Chrysanthemum Douluo opened his eyes, and with a thought, a massive chrysanthemum appeared in his hand.
The chrysanthemum was a stunning purple, each petal fuzzy and endearing, though it emitted no scent. The central stamen rose half a foot above the petals, glowing faintly gold.
On the surface, Chrysanthemum Douluo's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum seemed unchanged. But a closer sense revealed a transcendent, sacred aura, typical of top-tier martial souls.
"Should I be thanking you?" Chrysanthemum Douluo asked, his gaze complex as he looked at Mu Chen.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's feelings were mixed.
Because of Mu Chen, his soul power and martial soul had transformed.
Logically, he should be grateful to Mu Chen.
Yet, Mu Chen had made him a eunuch to enhance him.
Eunuch!
Eunuch!
Eunuch!
It meant the end of his lineage!
For any man, this was unacceptable. Though Chrysanthemum Douluo, due to his martial soul, was naturally impotent and couldn't continue the Yue lineage.
But Mu Chen had severed his lineage regardless.
"If you truly wish to thank me, don't trouble Senior Dugu anymore," Mu Chen said, glancing at Dugu Bo.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was startled by Mu Chen's straightforward reply to his courteous remark. Looking at Dugu Bo, he said, "Even if I let bygones be bygones, can he?"
Hearing this, Poison Douluo replied, "I wish for peace in my remaining years, not to dwell on the past."
Dugu Bo's message was simple: as long as Spirit Hall and Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't trouble him, he was willing to let the past go.
Dugu Bo glanced at Dugu Yan, implying that his compromise was for his granddaughter's sake. Aware of Spirit Hall's power, as a Titled Douluo, he had to consider Dugu Yan's future.
"Don't openly oppose Spirit Hall, or the Pope won't spare you," Chrysanthemum Douluo warned, referring to Pope Bibi Dong. Seeing Dugu Bo willing to let go, he chose not to pursue old grievances.
As Chrysanthemum Douluo turned to leave, Mu Chen called out, "Leaving already?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo turned, asking, "What else?"
Mu Chen touched his storage soul guide, retrieving a book with a flick, sending it to Chrysanthemum Douluo. "I acquired this manual by chance. It's useless to me, but you might find it beneficial."
"Manual?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo found the term unfamiliar, reading the cover with curiosity, "Sunflower Manual?"
