Douluo Dalu: This Soul Master is to Weird

Afterward, Mu Yang began to carefully test the defensive strength of this layer of soul power membrane on his body.

"Not bad. Even just in terms of defense, this Soul Light Body Protection technique should rival a two-ring defensive soul skill."

After experimenting for a long time, Mu Yang nodded to himself with satisfaction.

The defensive technique, Soul Light Body Protection, was specifically developed by Mu Yang for a particular step in his upcoming "Immortal Herb Plan."

However, the primary function of this technique was not to resist physical attacks but to isolate internal and external substances, offering strong resistance to toxins and corrosive materials.

Previously, during the trip to Sunset Forest to explore the secret of attaching ultra-limit soul rings, Dugu Bo owed his uncle a favor.

In Mu Yang's view, with a well-thought-out plan against an unsuspecting Dugu Bo, who didn't know the true value of the immortal herbs, convincing him to trade that favor for access to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its various immortal herbs shouldn't be too difficult.

Perhaps Dugu Bo might even generously say, "Take whatever herbs you like. There's plenty in the garden. My favor still stands!"

Dugu Bo: What are a few herbs to me? My garden is full. Do you think my favor is that cheap?

Although Mu Yang knew the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well nurtured numerous immortal herbs, he himself was quite clueless about their specifics. Furthermore, the sheer variety of strange flowers and grasses growing there made identifying and harvesting the immortal herbs without damaging their properties a significant challenge.

Fortunately, besides Tang San, there were other soul masters on the continent with considerable knowledge of immortal herbs—such as Yue Guan and Yang Wudi.

Without overthinking, Mu Yang decided to target Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan.

Compared to Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan of the Spirit Hall, Yang Wudi and the Breaking Clan were less powerful and easier to negotiate with.

However, Yang Wudi wouldn't share knowledge about immortal herbs for no reason. The Breaking Clan wasn't just any random group that could be swayed by Blaze Academy's reputation alone.

Thus, Mu Yang decided to propose a fair trade with Yang Wudi.

His bargaining chips were the practical effects of Whale Glue and the newly developed Soul Light Body Protection technique.

Ever since the Clear Sky Clan was forced into seclusion by the Spirit Hall, the four great single-attribute clans, including the Breaking Clan, who were once vassals of the Clear Sky Clan, had not had an easy life.

Fortunately, the Breaking Clan specialized in medicine. Thanks to this craft, they managed to live fairly comfortably, at least without financial troubles.

However, as medicine refiners, they inevitably had to deal with poisonous herbs. No matter how careful they were, accidents could still happen.

If it were just ordinary toxic herbs, errors could usually be remedied in time. But with highly poisonous herbs, one wrong step could lead to disaster.

Considering this, Mu Yang addressed their urgent needs and specially developed the Soul Light Body Protection technique, which isolates external substances.

Though this technique couldn't guarantee complete immunity to all toxins while refining extremely poisonous herbs, it would be effective in most situations.

With these two bargaining chips, Mu Yang was 80% confident Yang Wudi would agree to share knowledge about immortal herbs.

After all, for the Breaking Clan, knowledge of immortal herbs wasn't their core foundation. Sharing it with Mu Yang wouldn't result in any actual loss.

The reason Mu Yang rushed to develop the Soul Light Body Protection technique was that he knew the effects of Whale Glue would soon be leaked after the Huo Yun attached an ultra-limit soul ring. If he delayed the trade with Yang Wudi, one of his bargaining chips might lose its value.

Now, the question is, how do I bring this up?

Although the technique was already developed and the trade was essentially ready to proceed, Mu Yang found himself troubled once more.

Lying in bed, he pondered for a long time before coming up with two words: imagination.

Some things didn't need to be explained too clearly. Introduce a topic, state what you want to do, your objective, and the terms you offer—that should suffice.

As for the rest, leave it to the listener's imagination. Let the "big brain" fill in the gaps. At that point, all Mu Yang needed to do was nod and say, "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right."

The next day, before dawn, Mu Yang, who had stayed up late, got up early.

After recording the Soul Light Body Protection technique he developed the previous night, Mu Yang called Huo Lie, Mu Xiyue, Huo Wushuang, and Huo Wu into his bedroom.

Seeing Mu Yang closing the door and pulling the curtains in a mysterious manner, the four of them couldn't help but look curious.

"Xiao Yang, what are you up to, being all secretive?" Mu Xiyue couldn't help but ask.

"Believe it or not, my room was haunted last night!"

After pulling the curtains, Mu Yang began his performance.

"Mm-hmm. Your room was haunted. And then? Did a beautiful ghost take you away? Is that why you look so drained today?"

Immediately, Huo Wu nodded seriously with an expression full of mischief, then teased him.

Mu Yang: "..."

"Sis, I'm being serious!"

Mu Yang glared at Huo Wu irritably.

"Alright, alright. Go on. We're listening!" Huo Wu covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Forget it! Last night, I had a dream. Someone asked me to do something in the dream.

What's strange is that I remember this dream clearly, unlike my usual dreams where the details are fuzzy after waking up. And..."

Mu Yang paused.

"And what?" Huo Wushuang asked.

"And when I woke up, this mysteriously appeared next to my pillow."

Walking to the bedside table, Mu Yang picked up a few sheets of paper filled with handwriting and handed them to the four of them.

Huo Lie raised an eyebrow and took the pages from Mu Yang.

Looking at the title Soul Light Body Protection, Huo Lie skimmed through the contents. It seemed to describe a self-created defensive technique. Wait a second... why did it feel familiar?

Suddenly, Huo Lie recalled two years ago when they had stumbled upon the Extreme Flame Meditation Technique in Sunset Forest. The style and structure of this Soul Light Body Protection technique were almost identical, differing only in content. Even the handwriting was similarly neat and precise, worthy of a perfect score if graded!

Of course, his admiration had nothing to do with the fact that the Extreme Flame Meditation Technique had given him hope of reaching nine rings and becoming a Titled Douluo.

Immediately, Huo Lie looked at Mu Yang with a complicated expression.
