Mu Yan and Mu Xinning's home is located in the northwest corner of Ningnan City.
This is the civilian areaof Ningnan City, where low-status commoners live. As for the prestigious Mu and Yao families, they usually reside in the southern part of the city.
When Mu Yan and his sister Mu Xinning returned home, it was already getting dark.
"I'll cook dinner!"
Upon returning home, Mu Yan tidied up a bit and started cooking.
Since her mother's passing, Mu Yan has been taking care of her sister, Mu Xinning, as Mu Xinning wants to make the most of every minute to focus on cultivation and enhance her strength. As Mu Yan was born with a worthless star soul and cannot become a star soul warrior, it is only natural for her to take on the responsibility of caring for her sister and be her strong support.
In fact, even after dinner, Mu Yan has to act as an initiator to help her sister absorb star power and nourish her Phoenix star soul.
On the other hand, Mu Xinning is focused on cultivating her martial arts and improving her cultivation level.
"Brother, I have already reached the ninth level of the 'Basic Fire Technique'!"
"Within the next three days, I should be able to reach the highest tenth level!"
"Once I reach the tenth level of the 'Basic Fire Technique', I will be able to enter the first heaven of the star soul realm and become a true star soul warrior!"
Mu Xinning appears very excited and tells Mu Yan.
Mu Yan's body trembled.
If it were in the past, Mu Yan would certainly be very happy to hear that Mu Xinning was about to break through.
But now...
Mu Yan knows that when Mu Xinning breaks through to the first heaven of the star soul realm, it will be exactly when Mrs. Yao starts attacking the two of them!
"Brother, you help me absorb star power tonight."
"I will focus all my efforts on cultivating the 'Basic Fire Technique' and try to break through a day earlier."
Mu Xinning said.
Mu Xinning's star soul is a fire-type Phoenix, so the martial arts she practices naturally Of course, this technique is relatively inferior, and it can only help Mu Xinning barely break through to the first level of the Star Soul Warrior. After breaking through, Mu Xinning will need to choose a better fire-elemental technique to cultivate.
"Xinning, these few days, I'm afraid I can't help you absorb star power. You... shouldn't break through so soon," Muyan's expression was slightly serious as he suddenly spoke.
"Why?"
Mu Xinning was taken aback.
"Once we break through, we can return to the Mu family, right?"
"Brother, you forgot, when we were little, what others said about us? They cursed us as bastards without a father! Every time I was cursed and cried, it was Brother who stood in front of me, even fought with others on my behalf... Now I'm about to break through, we'll soon be acknowledged by the Mu family and become Mu family members, no longer bastards, why doesn't Brother let me break through?"
"Mother was still alive when she had grudges against the Yao Madam, but she also hoped that we could return to the Mu family..."
Mu Xinning grabbed Mu Yan and stared at him with wide eyes, confused.
Mu Yan forced a smile on his face.
He raised his right hand and gently rubbed Mu Xinning's head.
"Idiot, I'm not stopping you from breaking through," Mu Yan said.
"I just think that the current timing is not yet ripe."
Mu Yan explained.
"After all, you're still too young, only 15 years old, breaking through to the first level of the Star Soul is too fast, and it's easy to cause a situation where your foundation is unstable. So, you'd better first solidify your foundation, and then break through at a later time." Mu Yan said. "But Star Soul Hall Zhao instructor said that my foundation is already very solid," Mu Xinning said.
"Your foundation in cultivating martial arts is already very solid."
"However, in terms of drawing star power, you still have some deficiencies. So these few days, I hope you will abandon cultivating the 'Basic Fire Technique' and focus on drawing star power to nourish your star soul." Muyan spoke seriously.
"Drawing star power, I'm not very proficient at it, but brother isn't supposed to follow me around for the rest of my life and be my star power guide, right?" Mu Xinning asked with some confusion.
"Little fool!"
Muyan smiled gently.
"How could brother possibly follow you around for the rest of your life?"
"Even if he were your exclusive star power guide, he couldn't follow you around for the rest of your life. As a star soul warrior, you must learn to draw star power. Perhaps you can rely on an Every night, Mu Yin would help Mu Xinning absorb star power, but now Mu Xinning wanted to do it herself, so Mu Yin was free.
"Me?"
"I also absorb star power."
Mu Yin smiled.
"Absorb star power to nourish my stone spirit."
"Maybe with the nourishment of star power, this stone star soul could explode and give birth to a supreme godlike being!"
Mu Yan joked.
Mu Xinning blinked her eyes, but didn't say anything.
In terms of talent, Mu Yan actually had a stronger talent than Mu Xinning.
Mu Xinning started with a third-level star soul, while Mu Yan was a seventh-level star soul. In other words, Mu Yan's star soul awakened at the same time as he could mobilize 7% of his star soul power. However, Mu Xinning could only mobilize 3%.
Unfortunately...
Mu Yan's luck was just too bad. The star soul he awakened was actually a stone.
What would a person with an extraordinary talent feel like when he found out that his awakened star soul was a stone?
Mu Xinning couldn't imagine.
But she knew that if she were in that situation, she would be utterly depressed and even resent the heavens for being unfair, giving up on herself.
But Mu Yan didn't do that.
Awakening a star soul that was a stone meant that he could never become a star soul warrior. But Mu Yan seemed to be indifferent about it and lived his life as usual, taking care of his sister as usual. Even, he decided to become an initiator and be his sister's strong support, helping her to absorb star power and nourish her star soul.
Mu Xinning knew that what was supporting Mu Yan to do all of this was only one reason.
He was her brother!
As a brother, he had to take care of his sister!
Mother passed away, father withdrew from the world, and he hadn't appeared for over six months. The siblings had to rely on each other, and as the older brother, Mu Yan felt that he had the duty to take care of his sister. He didn't have the right to give up on himself!
"This time, let the older brother be a little selfish," Mu Xinning whispered to herself.
"Let him absorb the star power and nourish his exceptionally special star soul... Maybe, a miracle will really happen..."
Although she didn't believe at all that Mu Yan's absorbing star power to nourish the stone-like soul of his star spirit would have any effect, she still decided to support him.
