Chapter 141: Is His Main Martial Soul Weak? The Attention from Zhu Zhuqing!
After the soul power test, Lin Yu, guided by a servant, casually toured the Youming Duke's Mansion and got a rough understanding of its layout. Eventually, he was brought to a standalone courtyard.
"Sir, this courtyard has been specially prepared for geniuses like you. Here is your key."
Standing before a courtyard that looked beautiful, with a lovely architectural style, the servant who had led Lin Yu through the mansion pointed to the courtyard in front of him, smiling warmly. He took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yu.
In the Youming Duke's Mansion, there was always a set of classification standards for the soul masters recruited from outside.
These standards were based on potential and strength and were used to allocate resources.
Soul masters whose cultivation was below Soul Saint or who did not meet the requirements for Soul Saint-level potential would generally be assigned to living quarters resembling apartments.
Most of the ordinary soul masters joining the Youming Duke's Mansion were assigned to these communal living spaces.
For Soul Saints or soul masters with potential to reach the Soul Saint level, the mansion would allocate more resources, including independent courtyards.
Although Lin Yu's martial soul was his main martial soul, in the eyes of the high-ranking members of the Youming Duke's Mansion, his evaluation wasn't as high as that of soul masters with weapon or beast martial souls of the same level.
However, with his talent and cultivation at seven years old as a Great Soul Master, it was clear that, given proper cultivation resources and effort, breaking through to Title Douluo was certainly within his potential.
Thus, naturally, the Youming Duke's Mansion would not stint on his treatment or resources.
"Got it."
After receiving the key, Lin Yu nodded.
"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, every morning in our Youming Duke's Mansion, there are advanced soul masters teaching in the academy. The course schedules are posted on the notice board outside the academy. If you're interested, you can take a look and choose the courses that suit you."
"Also, our Martial Soul Simulation Training Field is open all day. If you have time, you can go there and see if there's a suitable training ground for your martial soul."
"We also have a Soul Fighting Arena. I've already shown you earlier. If you want to improve your soul fighting skills, you can practice in the arena."
Before leaving, the servant quickly tapped his head and smiled apologetically, adding more information about soul master-related facilities in the Youming Duke's Mansion.
After seeing the servant leave, Lin Yu unlocked the courtyard gate with the key and entered.
Looking around the courtyard, Lin Yu had to admit that it was quite nice!
The configuration was slightly inferior to the courtyard he had lived in at the Soul Master City, but it was still well-equipped.
Everything necessary for daily life was already provided.
This was normal, as this time of the year was when the Youming Duke's Mansion recruited soul masters from the continent.
They were surely prepared to welcome new soul masters with potential.
After touring the courtyard, Lin Yu left and headed for the mansion's cafeteria.
Of course, this cafeteria was meant for the ordinary members of the Youming Lingmao family and the soul masters recruited from outside.
The higher-ups of the Youming Lingmao family would certainly not dine here.
As Lin Yu headed toward the cafeteria, it was also the time when the soul master tests had just finished in the Youming Duke's Mansion.
Soon, a steward who had allied with Zhu Zhuqing rushed to Zhu Zhuqing with the registration form for the newly recruited soul masters.
"Young Miss, here is the list of soul masters who joined our Youming Duke's Mansion today. The highest cultivation is only Soul Sovereign, but we've had a genius and a freak join us."
Upon finding Zhu Zhuqing, the steward respectfully reported.
"A genius and a freak have joined the Youming Duke's Mansion?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but be a little confused.
The steward nodded and explained.
"Yes, there's a genius named Su Ying, whose martial soul is the Silver Armored Earth Dragon. He's sixteen years old and already at soul power level 32, with great potential to break through to the Soul Saint level."
"And then there's a boy named Ye Liangchen. He's only seven years old, but he has already reached the level of a Great Soul Master..."
"What?! A seven-year-old Great Soul Master?!"
Upon hearing the steward's words, even Zhu Zhuqing was shocked.
A sixteen-year-old Soul Sovereign might be considered an above-average genius in the soul master world, but it wasn't anything extraordinary.
When she was sixteen, her cultivation level was well above level 32!
But a seven-year-old Great Soul Master... not only in the current Douluo Continent, but even in the history she knew, such a freak had never appeared!
But why would such a freak join their Youming Duke's Mansion?
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel uncertain and suspicious.
A seven-year-old Great Soul Master would be highly valued even at the Spirit Hall.
Though the Youming Duke's Mansion was famous in the Star Luo Empire, compared to the top forces on the continent like the Spirit Hall, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Star Luo Royal Family, and Heaven Dou Imperial Family, they were still somewhat inferior.
"A seven-year-old Great Soul Master, and then?"
After calming herself down, Zhu Zhuqing continued to ask the steward.
"Although this Ye Liangchen is a seven-year-old Great Soul Master, his martial soul is not the same as our weapon or beast martial souls. It should be the third type of martial soul, a body martial soul, as mentioned in the previous live broadcast."
"His martial soul is Twin Eyes, just like the fate child named Huo Yuhao from the future."
"However, that Huo Yuhao was lucky. With the sacrifice of a million-year-old Iceworm and the support of his second and third martial souls, his eyes martial soul was able to develop. But I don't know how a normal eyes martial soul like Ye Liangchen's could develop."
The steward paused, thinking, then continued.
"Although the live broadcast showed Huo Yuhao's growth, the battles in the broadcast mostly relied on the sacrifice of the Sky Dream Iceworm's first soul ring."
"Later, his main battle was with the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion martial soul. His Spiritual Eyes martial soul mainly played a controlling role, and during battles, he didn't fully demonstrate his soul skills."
"Since his Spiritual Eyes martial soul focuses on mental abilities, most of its attacks are intangible, and few people realize the true strength of the Spiritual Eyes martial soul in the later stages."
"Many thought it was just the Iceworm's sacrifice and that Huo Yuhao's martial soul was merely helped by the Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion and Necromantic Saint Mage martial souls."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
While the potential of Ye Liangchen's body martial soul remained uncertain, she recalled how Huo Yuhao's eyes martial soul had demonstrated powerful effects in the past, despite relying on luck.
It was clear that the martial soul wasn't like the useless Blue Silver Grass.
As long as it had offensive capabilities, a seven-year-old Great Soul Master certainly had a promising future.
So in the end, Zhu Zhuqing decided to have the steward approach Ye Liangchen and find a way to recruit him.
"No matter what his martial soul is, being a Great Soul Master at seven years old shows undeniable potential."
"Even if his combat abilities aren't strong, becoming a Title Douluo in the future is definitely possible."
"If he becomes a Title Douluo, even if his martial soul isn't strong, defeating a Soul Saint would be an easy feat. So go ahead, approach him and see if he's willing to join me."
"If he agrees, I will ensure that he gets more cultivation resources from the mansion. As for other things, whether money or women, I can provide it all!"
Having made her decision, Zhu Zhuqing turned to the steward and spoke.
"Understood!"
The steward bowed respectfully and responded.
