Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Fire with Ice Attribute?
At this moment, Mu Yang was somewhat confused.
Although he had long known that consuming immortal-grade herbs could potentially cause his martial soul to undergo a metamorphosis, the premise was that the herbs consumed must have a high compatibility with the martial soul.
His hair color had not followed his father's black, but rather his mother's red, which was the influence of his Fire Shadow martial soul.
Red hair turning into blue hair, there was no doubt that his Fire Shadow martial soul had undergone a metamorphosis.
This meant that the two immortal-grade herbs, the Eight Petal Ice Grass and the Fierce Fire Apricot Blossom, which complemented each other, had a very high compatibility with his Fire Shadow martial soul.
But this still didn't make sense!
The Fire Shadow martial soul was a fire attribute. Even if it had mutated and evolved, it should have become an even more powerful fire-type martial soul. How could its hair color change to ice blue?
"Mu Yang, your martial soul must have mutated and evolved. Let me see it."
Huo Lie said with a smile.
Snapping back to reality, Mu Yang nodded slightly and released his "Fire Shadow Martial Soul."
Immediately, blue light radiated from Mu Yang's body, and as soul power surged, an ice-blue figure appeared behind him.
After a brief observation, Mu Yang realized that other than the color changing from orange-red to ice blue, and the attribute shifting from fire to ice, the evolved martial soul seemed almost identical to his previous Fire Shadow martial soul.
"Is it just the attribute that has changed?"
Huo Lie asked while stroking his chin after observing carefully.
"It feels a lot stronger, and also..."
Mu Yang paused for a moment, then extended his right hand. After channeling his soul power, an ice-blue flame, radiating an intense cold aura, appeared in the palm of his hand.
Seeing the ice-blue flame in Mu Yang's palm, Huo Lie froze for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Fire with an ice attribute?"
It was truly a revelation for Huo Lie!
In his understanding, fire's characteristics were burning, exploding, and high temperatures, all of which had no connection to "coldness," but what he saw now completely overturned his knowledge.
"It should be," Mu Yang nodded.
Unlike Huo Lie, who had limited knowledge, Mu Yang, with his vast experience in reading novels, wasn't too surprised.
It wasn't just fire attribute fire, perhaps this was the first of its kind in the Douluo Continent, but in the neighboring Dou Qi Continent, there were many unusual types of fire.
However, the changes in his "Fire Shadow Martial Soul" seemed to go beyond just changing from high-temperature flames to cold flames.
"Mu Yang, put away your martial soul. Let's leave first," Huo Lie suggested after thinking for a moment.
Besides himself, his wife, their two children, and the three vice deans of the Blazing Academy, who had a deep friendship with them for decades, no one else knew about Mu Yang's second martial soul.
Although Dugu Bo appeared friendly, Huo Lie didn't dare to truly treat Dugu Bo as his ally. Mu Yang's second martial soul should remain a secret.
Additionally, with Mu Yang's hair color change, anyone with a bit of common sense could easily link it to martial soul evolution, and if Dugu Bo connected the dots, it might lead to Dugu Bo realizing the exceptional nature of the herbs they had obtained.
To avoid any complications, it was best for them to leave before Dugu Bo returned after his unexpected departure.
"Aren't you going to leave a note for the Poison Douluo?" Mu Yang asked after retracting his mutated Fire Shadow Martial Soul.
"A simple note will do," Huo Lie waved his hand dismissively.
Compared to proper etiquette, the priority was that Mu Yang's twin martial souls and the immortal herbs should not be known to outsiders, especially Dugu Bo.
Furthermore, since Dugu Bo wasn't around, it didn't really matter if it was considered impolite.
A few minutes later, Huo Lie took Mu Yang away, leaving behind a prominent wooden plaque engraved with words at the Ice Fire Spring.
Before leaving, Mu Yang didn't forget to collect the Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia
Although the Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia was not an immortal-grade herb, in the original story, it had helped Yu Xiaogang break the soul power limit. Clearly, it was not an ordinary item.
While it might not allow an 89th-ranked Soul Douluo to break through to rank 90, it would certainly help a Soul Sage at level 79 break through to level 80.
By bringing it back, it was likely that Blazing Academy would have another Soul Douluo with the eight rings.
More than an hour later, having moved far away from the Ice Fire Spring, Huo Lie brought Mu Yang to a clearing in the forest.
"Now, let's try again and see what's special about this ice attribute fire."
After scanning the surroundings with his spiritual sense and noticing there were no soul masters nearby, Huo Lie said to Mu Yang.
To be honest, Huo Lie was very curious about Mu Yang's ice attribute fire. It wasn't about the power, but because he had never seen anything like it.
"Mm."
Mu Yang nodded, but instead of immediately releasing his mutated Fire Shadow Martial Soul, he summoned his Ginseng Martial Soul.
"Essence of the Eight Desolations and Hea...? My Ginseng Martial Soul evolved too?"
Just as he was about to chant the soul skill incantation to use it for healing, Mu Yang suddenly realized the incantation was incorrect. Looking down, he saw that his Ginseng Martial Soul had also undergone a mutation and evolution.
After evolving, the size of the Ginseng Martial Soul was still about four inches long, but its appearance had drastically changed.
The three green leaves that had previously featured some blue-red patterns due to the addition of the first and second soul rings had turned into two red and blue leaves, shaped like hands, looking as if they were intricately carved from high-quality red and blue jade.
The brown leaf stems, the earth-colored ginseng body, and the numerous ginseng roots of the same color had all transformed into white jade-like material, resembling the finest mutton-fat jade.
Additionally, two red and orange circles of patterns now adorned the plump white jade ginseng body.
"My Ginseng Martial Soul evolved too?"
Seeing the dramatic change in Mu Yang's Ginseng Martial Soul, Huo Lie was momentarily stunned.
It was a double joy!
The Fire Shadow Martial Soul was undoubtedly a top-tier beast martial soul, and to have it coexist with the Ginseng Martial Soul meant that Mu Yang's Ginseng Martial Soul was also of top-tier quality. Otherwise, the two martial souls wouldn't have been able to coexist as they did.
Now, with the top-tier Ginseng Martial Soul undergoing mutation and evolution, it might already be the strongest food-based martial soul on the continent.
Due to the relatively low number of food-type soul masters, even fewer reached high levels, so few food-type martial soul legacies had reached top-tier quality. Moreover, Mu Yang's Ginseng Martial Soul was evolving on top of its original top-tier quality.
"Mu Yang, did your two soul skills for the Ginseng Martial Soul change?" Huo Lie quickly asked.
With martial soul evolution, soul skills would naturally change. Even if the effect remained the same type, its actual effectiveness would be much stronger.
