After understanding everything, Dai Weisi couldn't help but curl his lips into a slight smile, feeling quite pleased with himself. This time, I've really struck gold, he thought happily.
Then, Dai Weisi began explaining to Anna what a Martial Soul was and how one could become a Soul Master.
"Nana, now I'm going to teach you how to become a Soul Master, so listen carefully, okay?"
"Mm!" Anna nodded earnestly, listening with complete focus.
"To become a Soul Master, I first need to explain the classification of Martial Souls. On this continent, Martial Souls are divided into two major categories: Beast-type Martial Souls and Tool-type Martial Souls. Beast-type Martial Souls can typically merge with a Soul Master's body, allowing them to achieve a state where human and soul become one. This grants them immense power. We call this process 'Martial Soul Possession.'"
As he finished speaking, Dai Weisi immediately activated his Martial Soul. His entire body grew in size, transforming into the form of a tiger-man.
"My Evil-Eyed White Tiger is a kind of Beast-type Martial Soul, and this is what I look like when I'm possessed by it. The Martial Soul greatly enhances my strength and speed, allowing me to fight ten enemies at once!"
He picked up a rock the size of a fist and crushed it with a loud crack!—the solid stone shattered instantly.
"Did you see that? This is the power of a Martial Soul!"
"I think I understand, Brother Weisi. But what about Tool-type Martial Souls?"
"Tool-type Martial Souls usually function externally, and their variety far exceeds that of Beast-type ones. Things like scythes, hammers, stones, and shields are all considered Tool-type Martial Souls.
Tool-type Martial Souls tend to be more supportive in nature than Beast-types. In fact, some Tool-type Martial Souls are even edible—like cakes and steamed buns. These are called food-type Martial Souls. Additionally, plant-type Martial Souls also fall under the category of Tool-types."
Pausing for a moment, Dai Weisi looked at Anna and continued, "Nana, your Hundred Herbs is a plant-type Martial Soul."
Anna asked, "So since Tool-type Martial Souls are usually supportive, does that mean I should become a Support-type Soul Master, Brother Weisi?"
Dai Weisi shook his head. "Not necessarily. Tool-type Martial Souls can also be used in combat. For example, weapons like scythes and long swords are Tool-type Martial Souls as well. Put simply, Tool-type means tools—and tools can be used to fight.
As for what type of Soul Master you should become in the future, my suggestion is for you to focus on becoming a Control-type Soul Master."
"A Control-type Soul Master?"
"That's right. There are many kinds of Soul Masters—Power Attack, Agility Attack, Control, Defense, Food, Support, Healing, and so on.
Your Hundred Herbs Martial Soul… well, I don't see it having any significant support effect for a Soul Master. On the other hand, it can control all kinds of plants. Based on that, you're undoubtedly best suited to become a Control-type Soul Master.
And more than that, in one-on-one combat, Control-types are the strongest. Support-type Soul Masters, in contrast, generally lack combat ability.
Nana, I hope that through your own hard work, you'll gain the power to protect yourself when faced with danger. Support-type Soul Masters often have to entrust their lives to others—that's why I don't recommend you become one."
"I understand now, Brother Weisi! I'll work hard and definitely become a powerful Control-type Soul Master!"
"Good girl! I believe in you!" Dai Weisi said with a smile as he gently ruffled Anna's soft hair.
"Brother, what should I do next?"
"Well…" Dai Weisi had initially intended to have Anna undergo some physical training. After all, physical fitness is very important for a Soul Master.
But upon seeing the girl's slender arms and legs, he couldn't help but slowly shake his head. This little one is way too thin. If I put her through physical training, she probably wouldn't last long.
Thinking of this, Dai Weisi took out the advanced meditation technique practiced by the Star Luo Royal Family and handed it to Anna with a smile. "Nana, this is the high-level meditation technique I've been practicing. For now, you should focus on meditation training in the courtyard, alright?"
Dai Weisi's courtyard was full of flowers and greenery, serving as a simple simulated training environment—perfect for a plant-type Soul Master like Anna.
"Got it, Brother Weisi," Anna said as she accepted the meditation technique and began her training under Dai Weisi's guidance.
"Nana really is a genius. It's only been an hour, and she's already mastered the meditation technique and can now practice it with ease."
After guiding her for an hour, Dai Weisi saw that Anna had already become deeply immersed in her meditation, her soul power gradually increasing. He nodded with satisfaction.
"Uncle Li," Dai Weisi called softly. But with Li Hu's sharp hearing, he still caught it and appeared before him immediately.
"Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
"A week ago, didn't we hunt down a lot of Ghost Wolves? Use their corpses to prepare a big feast. From now on, Anna's meals should contain at least 60% meat!"
"Understood."
"Also, go buy some century-old whale resin."
"Your Highness, there's still plenty of ten-thousand-year-old whale resin in the manor. Why not use that instead..."
Dai Weisi shook his head, interrupting him. "The energy of ten-thousand-year-old whale resin is too potent. I'm afraid Nana might not be able to handle it. Let's start with the century-old whale resin, then gradually increase the dosage. Remember, the lower the age of the whale resin, the better. If there's ten-year-old whale resin, buy that."
"Understood."
After receiving the orders, Li Hu quickly went to carry them out. Soon after, he returned with a block of fifty-year-old whale resin and instructed the maid to prepare a high-fat, high-protein soul beast meat feast.
By noon, Anna smelled the aroma of meat and couldn't help but open her eyes. What greeted her were a variety of delicious dishes, making her mouth water. She quickly asked, "Brother Weisi, is all this... for me?"
"Of course, Nana. Come eat. After you're done, I have something else for you."
"Brother Weisi..."
Anna could hardly believe her eyes. Just yesterday, she had been sold at an auction as a slave, and now, just a day later, she was the student of a Prince.
The sensation of going from hell to heaven in such a short time left her feeling disoriented, like she was living in a dream.
Anna picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of Ghost Wolf meat, and put it in her mouth. The delicious taste stimulated her taste buds, making her cry from the sheer joy of it. Tears streamed down her face.
"What's wrong, Nana? Why are you crying?" Dai Weisi asked, concerned. "Is it not good? Should I have them make a new one?"
"No, no, Brother Weisi, it's delicious! It's just that I've never had such amazing food before…"
"Haha, silly girl. From now on, you'll get to eat food like this every day." Dai Weisi laughed as he ruffled the girl's hair. "Alright, stop crying. If you keep crying, the food will get cold. Eat quickly."
"Mm!"
Anna nodded, moved by his words. She then devoured the food hungrily, as though she had a deep grudge against the dishes on the table.
At the same time, she secretly swore to herself that she would become a Title Douluo to repay Dai Weisi's kindness.
After lunch, Dai Weisi cut a small, marble-sized piece of fifty-year-old whale resin, grilled it, and handed it to Anna.
"Here, Nana, eat this."
Seeing the slimy whale resin, Anna shuddered in disgust.
"Brother Weisi, is this really safe to eat?"
"Don't speak, just eat quickly."
With that, Anna opened her small mouth, revealing her pearly white teeth, and swallowed the whale resin. Then she sat cross-legged, beginning to meditate and absorb the energy of the whale resin.
