Mu Chen paused and slowly turned around. One stood watching, the other bowed respectfully. One was only twelve, while the other was nearly thirty. Yet the latter astonishingly called the former teacher.
"Stand up!"
Mu Chen accepted Tang Yuehua as his student. As she stood, he asked knowingly, "What is your current soul power level?"
"Level nine."
Tang Yuehua's eyes remained calm; she had long accepted the reality that she could not become a soul master.
"Level nine?" Mu Chen repeated softly.
"My spirit is a mutated spirit. Spirit mutation can make one stronger or weaker. I belong to the latter. My spirit is very special. Ever since I awakened, I've had a domain called the Noble Circle," Tang Yuehua explained, summoning her spirit.
Tang Yuehua's spirit was peculiar, appearing as a light—no, more like something that seemed tangible but was elusive. Golden light formed a protective aura around her body.
Her eyes carried a hint of sadness. As a direct descendant of the continent's top sect, the Clear Sky Sect, she could never become a soul master. It was a regret that Tang Yuehua could not ignore.
"Your spirit is light?" Mu Chen asked, surprised.
"You could say that, but it's not entirely accurate. Its mutation is unique. Perhaps because the soul master world hasn't encountered such a spirit before, I can't attach soul rings to a light. That's why my level has never surpassed nine," Tang Yuehua said, trying to console herself.
"Do you want to become stronger?" Mu Chen asked.
"You mean become a soul master?" Tang Yuehua inquired.
"You could say that," Mu Chen replied calmly.
"Are you serious?" Tang Yuehua asked excitedly, grasping Mu Chen's arm before realizing her action and letting go, her face flushed.
Mu Chen said, "A domain represents strength. Having a domain yet unable to become a formidable soul master is quite a waste."
Tang Yuehua asked eagerly, "What method do you have to help me break through level ten?"
Mu Chen smiled, "Breaking through level ten is simple. You just need a cultivation technique."
"A cultivation technique?"
Tang Yuehua furrowed her brow in curiosity, "What is a cultivation technique?"
"A cultivation technique is a method that guides one in cultivation. It allows a person to draw the energy of the heavens and earth into themselves, transforming it for personal use. It surpasses the meditation of ordinary soul masters," Mu Chen explained.
Tang Yuehua asked in amazement, "There are such wondrous things in the world?"
As a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect and daughter of the previous sect leader, Tang Yuehua had never heard of such techniques.
"Yes."
Mu Chen nodded, "The advantage of cultivation techniques over ordinary soul master meditation is that even if your soul power reaches level ten and you haven't acquired a soul ring, you can still continue to cultivate and increase your soul power."
(For context, in the first part of Douluo, Tang San couldn't advance his Mysterious Heaven Skill without a soul ring. After entering Sea God Island, during a conversation with a healer, it was mentioned that even without a soul ring, soul power could still increase. There's no mistake here, so please don't criticize!)
Tang Yuehua's eyes widened with joy. The cultivation technique Mu Chen mentioned seemed tailor-made for her!
Tang Yuehua said excitedly, "Teacher, will you teach me this technique?"
"Yes, don't move."
Mu Chen nodded, extending his hand and touching Tang Yuehua's forehead. A white light shot from his finger into her brow, and words and images flashed in her eyes.
"Mysterious Heaven Skill!"
Tang Yuehua murmured. The technique Mu Chen imparted was none other than the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Uh
After the transfer ended, Mu Chen frowned, seeing stars, and stumbled, about to fall.
"Teacher!"
Tang Yuehua exclaimed, instinctively reaching out to catch Mu Chen, asking with concern, "What happened?"
Soul Power +237
The close physical contact granted Mu Chen 237 soul power points.
Mu Chen smiled slightly, "I'm fine, just a bit tired. I'll be okay after a rest."
Seeing Mu Chen's state, Tang Yuehua felt warmth in her heart, "Teacher, rest here. I'll make you a nourishing soup."
Mu Chen shook his head, "No need, just resting here is enough."
Tang Yuehua was taken aback, "Just like this?"
Mu Chen nodded.
Tang Yuehua misunderstood Mu Chen's intention and had no plan to help him to a seat, letting him rest in her arms.
Uh!
Mu Chen was surprised. Seeing Tang Yuehua make no move to seat him, he knew she misunderstood.
Soul Power +336
Soul Power +356
Soul Power +454
Every minute, Mu Chen gained over 300 soul power points. Since Tang Yuehua misunderstood, Mu Chen wasn't foolish enough to correct her, letting the misunderstanding continue.
"Madam Yue, you..."
As Mu Chen was enjoying the moment, a slightly childish voice broke the tranquility of the platform.
The voice belonged to a young woman, not stunningly beautiful but attractive in a subtle way. However, her figure was impeccable—neither too much nor too little.
"Xue Ke?"
Tang Yuehua blurted out, realizing her unseemliness, she quickly stood up from the ground. Helping Mu Chen stand, she asked, "Teacher, are you okay?"
"Teacher?"
Xue Ke was shocked. The young man was Madam Yue's teacher? But he was only a boy about her age.
"Yes."
Mu Chen nodded.
"When did you recover?" Tang Yuehua asked.
"A little while ago," Mu Chen replied smugly.
A little while?
Tang Yuehua was momentarily stunned. Was Mu Chen implying he had been enjoying her comfort?
The thought made Tang Yuehua blush. Noticing Princess Xue Ke of the Heaven Dou Empire was present, she hurried to explain, "Xue Ke, it wasn't what you think."
Xue Ke smiled, "Madam Yue, rest assured, I won't talk nonsense."
Tang Yuehua sighed in relief, but then realized it wasn't right. Was Xue Ke implying she believed there was something between her and Mu Chen?!
