Chapter 141: She Desperately Wants to Improve!

Chapter 141: She Desperately Wants to Improve!

"Soul... Soul Saint?"

Shui Yue'er's eye twitched. She never expected that Kong's wife was actually a powerful Soul Saint!

The path ahead was long and arduous!

A Soul Saint was a rank on par with her mother, Shui Ningshuang. Shui Yue'er was confident she could reach the Soul Saint level at her mother's age, but breaking through to Soul Saint before the age of thirty? That was practically a fantasy.

The Raiden Shogun's strength was bound to Kong's. Whatever rank Kong was, so was she. However, the strength they could display differed greatly.

Even if an ordinary Titled Douluo stood before her, the Raiden Shogun could cut them in half in an instant.

One must understand, the concentration of Kong's soul power as a Soul Saint was vastly different from that of an ordinary Soul Saint!

With the added advantage of the Wheel of Hundred Eyes and a soul core, no Titled Douluo below level ninety-five could match Kong in terms of total soul power or recovery speed.

Not a single enemy could withstand a blow!

If the Raiden Shogun split a Titled Douluo in half, would that mean the opponent now had two Titled Douluos? That question was certainly something to ponder.

Liu Erlong had wanted to ask what the Raiden Shogun's martial soul was, but she swallowed her words.

Soul masters had their own secrets. Even between siblings or father and son, they might not know each other's soul skills. Revealing one's soul power level was already a significant exposure of one's strength.

For soul masters, even Titled Douluos, normally only had nine soul skills. The seventh soul skill, the Martial Soul Avatar, was a given, as it was standard for any soul master's seventh skill. Except for the late Shi Nian...

Shi Nian's martial soul didn't have a complete form, so his seventh soul skill wasn't a Martial Soul Avatar.

Serpent Spear Douluo's seventh soul skill could even transform his weapon martial soul into a beast martial soul.

These were considered unusual seventh soul skills.

Once someone knew the effects of their opponent's soul skills, it became much easier to counter them.

At first, the Heaven Dou Empire had a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo. In response, the Spirit Hall dispatched two Titled Douluos specifically to counter Dugu Bo's poison attribute.

Not everyone had a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Even a Titled Douluo might not have soul bones, so if one could avoid exposing their soul skill effects, they would.

"The strength and talent of the Raiden Shogun truly impresses me," Flender said with a slight bow. "In the first class of Shrek Academy, we had a student who almost broke the record for breaking through to Soul Emperor, set by the Clear Sky Douluo. But it seems that such records are nothing to true geniuses."

Qin Ming had broken through to the Soul Emperor rank at the age of thirty, making him the second youngest to do so openly.

No one could have imagined that many would break through to Soul Emperor or even Soul Saint before the age of thirty.

And right here, there were two such individuals.

To these prodigies, those so-called rankings were probably nothing but a joke.

Flender sighed inwardly, unsure of what else to say.

"Our Shrek Academy, known as the Monster Academy, doesn't live up to its name!"

At this moment, Flender gave up on continuing Shrek Academy. Monsters? Shrek Academy didn't have monsters; they merely had talents slightly better than ordinary soul masters.

"I'd better just retire peacefully at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy. The three board members treat us teachers well."

Flender thought silently to himself.

The Raiden Shogun glanced at Flender indifferently and said nothing. She couldn't understand why humans set up these rankings in the first place. Did they even have any meaning?

True strength couldn't be measured by a mere ranking list.

"Kong, can you teach me how to cultivate?"

Suddenly, Shui Yue'er spoke up.

Shui Yue'er knew that her request might seem a bit abrupt, but she was truly desperate to improve!

Under the guidance of the teachers at Tianshui Academy, she could perhaps gradually become a Soul Saint, or even reach the level of a Soul Douluo. But by the time she achieved the ranks of Soul Saint or Soul Douluo, how old would she be?

Hearing her words, Kong thought for a moment, frowning slightly.

In the world of Douluo Continent, so-called geniuses and prodigies had their fate sealed from the moment their martial souls awakened.

Unless one obtained something like immortal herbs, which could enhance one's natural talents.

Since Shui Yue'er had no special relationship with him, Kong naturally wasn't going to give her immortal herbs to boost her potential and fundamentally solve her issue.

The saying, "There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters," had been proven wrong by Yu Xiaogang, who spent his entire life showing that he was indeed a "useless" soul master.

"Miss Yue'er, your martial soul is a dolphin. Perhaps you could focus on developing in the direction of mental strength," Kong suggested tentatively.

But his suggestion was valid. Did dolphins really have to develop along the lines of water or ice attributes?

One must realize that dolphins are among the smartest animals in the ocean!

As soul beasts, their mental strength is terrifyingly high!

However, soul masters on Douluo Continent were often influenced by fixed ways of thinking, failing to notice the essence of certain things.

From the perspective of the teachers at Tianshui Academy, a dolphin should naturally pursue soul rings of water or ice attributes.

But why did Shui Yue'er develop a combination of "mental" and ice attribute attacks? This primarily had to do with the nature of her martial soul.

Soul skills are born from the fusion of a martial soul's essence and the innate talents of the hunted soul beast. They aren't fixed to the soul skills that soul beasts originally possessed.

"Develop towards mental strength?" Shui Yue'er asked in confusion.

She had never considered this before, and both Flender and Liu Erlong looked equally bewildered.

Kong chuckled dismissively. In a certain divine academy, dolphins could evolve into triangular creatures in a short time, and ultimately merge with the void to become void beings.

Their power would be unimaginable!

In the mystical world of Douluo, while dolphins didn't have such abilities or reach those heights, developing in that direction certainly wasn't wrong.

"Dolphins are one of the smartest creatures in the ocean. Surely you don't think their mental strength is weak? Besides, Miss Yue'er, your Zero Degree Shockwave soul skill is likely a manifestation of your martial soul's strong mental power, right?"

Shui Yue'er's second soul skill, though a combination of sonic and ice attributes, was, in essence, a fusion of mental power and ice.

"Huh…"

Hearing this, Shui Yue'er raised her eyebrows, stunned. After acquiring this soul skill, she had been puzzled because the soul beast she hunted wasn't related to mental strength. Yet she had somehow gained a mental attack component, which confused her for some time.

But her teachers merely chalked it up to a mutated soul skill, without thinking too much about it.

In Douluo Continent, anything that couldn't be explained was simply labeled as a mutation.

Martial soul mutation, soul skill mutation—it all made sense that way...
