Douluo Dalu: This Soul Master is to Weird

Afterward, the group entered the academy dining hall and reserved a private room on the third floor.

Before long, the dishes were served.

"Lie, Xiyue, thank you for this time. On behalf of Sky Water Academy, I offer you a toast!"

Pouring herself a glass of wine, Shui Yanyu raised her cup toward the two of them in gratitude.

What Shui Yanyu was thanking them for was naturally the fact that Blazing Fire Academy had shared the true effects and uses of whale gelatin with Sky Water Academy free of charge.

"Dean Shui, you're being too polite. As fellow Elemental Academies, helping each other is only natural," Huo Lie responded courteously.

'What a pity, the news came too late. Bing'er has already become a two-ring Soul Grandmaster.'

After the toast, Shui Yanyu glanced at Shui Bing'er, who was sitting beside her eating obediently, and thought to herself with a hint of regret.

The martial soul inherited by the Shui family of Sky Water City was an ice-attribute flying martial soul: the Ice Sparrow. However, when Shui Bing'er awakened her martial soul, it mutated and evolved into an ice-attribute top-tier assault-type beast martial soul: the Ice Phoenix. With a top-tier martial soul and innate level-eight soul power, she undoubtedly had the potential to become a Title Douluo in the future.

If her second soul ring had been over the limit, it would have further solidified her path to becoming a Title Douluo.

Fortunately, starting with her third soul ring, it was not too late to attach over-limit soul rings. After all, even with the physical enhancements brought by consuming whale gelatin, there were still limits. Without strong enough spiritual power, her fourth soul ring's age would also be capped below ten thousand years.

Hmm, a small goal: I'll aim to attach a five-thousand-year third soul ring and a nine-thousand-plus-year fourth soul ring for my niece.

At this moment, Shui Yue'er, sitting to the left of her sister Shui Bing'er and separated by her, glanced at Mu Yang. Her ice-blue eyes sparkled mischievously as she placed a piece of braised wild beef into his bowl and asked, "Mu Yang little brother, can you tell me what your martial soul is?"

"Uh~"

Seeing Shui Yue'er put food in his bowl, Mu Yang was caught off guard.

In his life, aside from his late mother, only his aunt Mu Xiyue and cousin Huo Wu had ever served him food. Now Shui Yue'er had become the fourth.

"Don't want to tell me?" Shui Yue'er pouted, pressing him for an answer.

"It's not that. I'm just not used to it," Mu Yang replied, shaking his head before answering, "My martial soul is a food-type Ginseng. Also, just call me Mu Yang."

Mu Yang was fine with just his name—anything but "little brother."

Even if she called him "little friend," he'd accept it, but "little brother" was a no-go.

"Food-type martial soul?"

Hearing this, not only Shui Yue'er but even Shui Bing'er and Shui Yanyu looked surprised.

After all, compared to other types of martial souls, food-type martial souls were notably harder to cultivate. For Mu Yang to advance so quickly, he must have innate full soul power.

Innate full soul power practically guaranteed the future attainment of Title Douluo status. This had already been proven among other types of soul masters. If a food-type soul master could achieve the same, the continent might soon witness the first-ever food-type Title Douluo.

This thought crossed Shui Yanyu's mind.

Upon learning that Mu Yang was a food-type soul master and seeing his somewhat pale, frail appearance, Shui Yue'er couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of protective affection.

A handsome little brother paired with such a "weak and gentle" look, along with his lack of combat ability as a support-type soul master, deeply satisfied Shui Yue'er's desire to protect someone.

Hmm~ if only Mu Yang were a girl, she mused. Then I could dress him up every day as a beautiful little princess.

'Ugh, I really want to take this little brother back to Sky Water Academy!'

Looking at Mu Yang, Shui Yue'er thought secretly.

Even though food-type soul masters had no combat power, no battle soul master would refuse an outstanding food-type soul master as a teammate or partner.

When all else was equal, a battle soul master paired with a food-type soul master might lose to two battle soul masters in a direct fight.

But as group battles grew larger—such as in a seven-on-seven scenario—six battle soul masters with various effects of soul food boosts could easily defeat seven opposing battle soul masters.

Coincidentally, Shui Yanyu's thoughts were very similar to Shui Yue'er's at this moment.

Earlier, when she saw Mu Yang's red hair, she assumed he had awakened the same Fire Shadow martial soul as his aunt Mu Xiyue. Who would have thought his martial soul would turn out to be food-type?

If he were a future combat-oriented Title Douluo, Sky Water Academy would certainly struggle to pry him away from Blazing Fire Academy. To "win him over," they'd probably have to involve her exceptionally talented niece, a gamble that could backfire spectacularly.

But if he were a "powerless" food-type Title Douluo, things might be different.

In this world where strength was paramount, power dictated everything.

Between a male and a female soul master who were companions, the one with the greater strength was often the decision-maker.

If sacrificing her talented niece meant securing a future food-type Title Douluo, would Sky Water Academy not take that chance?

At this moment, Shui Yanyu's mental abacus was clicking furiously.

"Eat up, Bing'er, Yue'er."

Since the older sisters were serving him food, Mu Yang returned the favor, placing a serving in each of their bowls.

"Thank you~" Shui Bing'er thanked him softly.

Shui Yue'er, however, gave him a meaningful look and teased, "Little Mu Yang, my sister and I are both older than you. You don't want us calling you 'little brother,' but shouldn't you at least call us 'sister' in return?"

After a pause, Shui Yue'er grinned mischievously and added, "Or have you been a little brother for so long that you want to be the big brother now?"

Mu Yang: No, I want you to call me 'brother-in-law,' and I want your sister to call me 'daddy.'

Of course, Mu Yang wouldn't dare say that out loud.

Just as he was about to reply, Huo Wu wrapped her arm around his neck, pointed at the sisters' bowls, and then pointed to her own. "Mu Yang, I'm still sitting here, you know! Bing'er and Yue'er got food, so where's mine?"

"How could I forget? I've got you!"

Without hesitation, Mu Yang served Huo Wu a portion of food, satisfying her instantly.

The next second, Huo Wushuang, looking at his own empty bowl, muttered, "So, I guess I'm just the unnecessary older brother here?"

"Enough already~ I'm not going to bother with you!"

Mu Yang rolled his eyes at his older cousin in exasperation.

Why would I serve you, a grown man?

His older cousin Huo Wu was a girl, so of course, he had to give her some face. The two sisters were guests, so as the host, he had to show proper hospitality.

But you, Huo Wushuang? Well… you can just stay out of the way when you're not needed.

Huo Wushuang: "…"

My little cousin is getting less and less adorable.
