Chapter 165: True Self Martial Soul
Barely a week had passed before Dongfang Lingyun, accompanied by a special escort, arrived at the Supervisory Office where Gu Han was stationed.
The girl was dressed simply, with regular features and bright eyes, yet possessed a maturity unmatched by her peers.
A devastating disaster had left her with nothing but her innocence, and forcing herself to mature was a pitiful experience.
He scrutinized her carefully, trying to discern whether she truly possessed the legendary True Self Martial Soul.
As Gu Han observed Dongfang Lingyun, she too, her eyes tinged with nervousness and gratitude.
Indeed, had Ye Renxin not come to her rescue and Gu Han not seized food, she would have starved to death or frozen to death during the disaster.
She had seen Gu Han and Bibi Dong from afar, but they hadn't recognized her.
"Dongfang Lingyun, greetings to His Majesty the Holy Son."
Seeing Gu Han remain silent for a long time, merely observing her, Dongfang Lingyun felt a surge of anxiety and took the initiative to greet him, hoping to break the eerie atmosphere.
"Dongfang Lingyun, do you really not have a martial soul?"
Gu Han asked. Even with his mental power, he couldn't discern the condition of the other person's body.
After all, a martial soul is essentially a part of the body, so that part should be easy to distinguish.
But the result surprised Gu Han; he couldn't see anything unusual about the other person's body.
Hearing this, Dongfang Lingyun shook her head slightly. "I don't know, but the spirit masters there have examined me and all say I don't have a martial soul."
Gu Han thought for a moment, then slowly walked over to the other person, squatted down, and probed her meridians. His profound meridians were roughly 70% open.
No, why was he able to read her meridians?
Facing Dongfang Lingyun's puzzled look, Gu Han stood up calmly, feigning a contemplative expression.
"How about this? I'll recreate the scene when you awakened your martial soul and try to help you awaken it again. Let's see how it goes."
"Okay,"
Dongfang Lingyun nodded obediently.
Gu Han pulled out the Awakening Stone he'd used to play Tao's brother from his soul guide. Although he could now help others awaken their spirits without its aid, he simply enjoyed the process.
Six jet-black Awakening Stones were placed in a circle in the center of the hall.
"Step inside."
Dongfang Lingyun, having experienced a spirit awakening once before, stepped in with familiarity.
"Mysterious Frost Sword!"
Gu Han linked his fingers like swords, raising them overhead. An icy blue longsword radiating a chill emerged from the void.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, orange-gold.
Seven spirit rings rose in sequence beneath his feet.
Gu Han carefully controlled the flow, preventing any chill from leaking out.
"Close your eyes, feel the guidance of your spirit power, and then raise your hands."
A typical awakening only requires raising the right hand, but Gu Han simply enjoyed having people raise both hands. Perhaps he could even gain a twin spirit, though that was a bit wishful thinking.
Dongfang Lingyun cooperated, closing her eyes. Then, feeling the guidance of Gu Han's spirit power, she raised her hands.
Then, Dongfang Lingyun's entire body glowed, and a figure identical to her flashed behind her. If it weren't for Gu Han's strong mental strength and sharp eyesight, he wouldn't have noticed.
"It's indeed a full-body martial soul, and a full-body martial soul!"
Gu Han's eyes widened slightly. This, he had truly found a treasure. Someone possessed a full-body martial soul.
This wasn't just a guaranteed ninety-six, it was a guaranteed ninety-eight. If nothing went wrong, ninety-nine was a strong possibility.
Even though this opponent only had an innate seventh-level spirit power, this was a full-body martial soul, a martial soul blessed by heaven, the most in tune with human nature. With a full-body martial soul, wouldn't it be comparable to a god-level martial soul after its second awakening?
Gu Han now felt a little regretful. If he had known he would encounter a full-body martial soul in the Dou Yi era, he would have studied Dou Yi more in his previous life.
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in regretting. After all, he never thought in his previous life that he would catch a wave of great fortune.
"My own martial soul?"
Dongfang Lingyun blinked blankly, a puzzled expression on her face.
"Yes," Gu Han nodded slightly. "It's not that you don't have a martial soul, but your martial soul is you."
"Myself?"
"Yes, yourself."
Gu Han suddenly became serious, his eyes fixed on Dongfang Lingyun.
"Dongfang Lingyun, perhaps I'm the only one in this world who knows how to cultivate your martial soul. Would you like to become my disciple?"
"Master, please accept your disciple's greetings."
Dongfang Lingyun didn't hesitate at all, kneeling on both knees and performing a profound salute. It was so confusing
that even Gu Han was a little lost, but this girl was quite skilled.
"Ahem, get up."
Gu Han placed his right fist to his lips and coughed softly, then helped the bowing little girl to her feet.
"Since that's the case, you'll train in Wuhun City from now on. I'll take you to the Wuhun Academy tomorrow. You'll start by systematically studying Wuhun knowledge. You'll have a senior brother there, and I'll make time to teach you every day."
The academy schedule in Douluo Continent was very different from Gu Han's previous life. There were only one or two classes a day, with the rest of the time free to do as you please, so there was plenty of time.
Gu Han could also find time to teach them every day.
"I'll follow Master's arrangements."
Dongfang Lingyun's face lit up with a long-unseen joy. She had never imagined that she would have one of her benefactors as her master.
"By the way, it's still early. I'll teach you a set of boxing techniques and methods for cultivating your spiritual power."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing that Master wanted to teach her something, Dongfang Lingyun's expression immediately grew serious.
Gu Han was very satisfied with Dongfang Lingyun's attitude. It goes without saying that children like these who have experienced major setbacks, as long as they don't collapse, are very mature and sensible, but also pitiful in their sensibility.
"Watch carefully."
Gu Han immediately demonstrated Tai Chi for him in the hall. With each move, he patiently explained the corresponding breathing rhythm.
Dongfang Lingyun's grasp of this martial art was much faster than Shi Dong's, and he was already performing it with considerable skill on his second try. However, he was still far from truly grasping its true meaning and reaching the state of no moves.
"Very good. From now on, set aside an hour every day to practice this boxing technique."
"Disciple, remember this."
Dongfang Lingyun wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and nodded solemnly.
"By the way, there's also this. This is a set of spiritual cultivation methods compiled by Master, as well as a modified advanced meditation method. When you return, practice on your own. If you have any questions, don't try to figure them out on your own; remember to ask Master."
Gu Han pulled out a thin booklet, which he had prepared in advance for Dongfang Lingyun.
"Also, this is a soul guide. It contains 30 cubic meters of space. Use your soul power to activate it, and you can store items within."
The soul guide Gu Han held out was an emerald bracelet.
"Thank you, Master."
Dongfang Lingyun was a man of few words. After a thank you, she solemnly accepted the book and bracelet with both hands.
The bracelet seemed a bit too big on her wrist, but it wouldn't fall off.
Afterwards, Gu Han took Dongfang Lingyun on a tour of Wuhun City as usual, and also helped her with the admission procedures.
