After finishing dinner, Su Yuxuan cleaned the dishes before returning to his room.
The small wooden house gradually became quiet.
Moonlight filtered through the window, illuminating a worn wooden bookshelf in the corner.
Yuxuan walked over and carefully removed a thick notebook wrapped in faded cloth.
It was one of the most valuable possessions left behind by his grandmother.
A cultivation manual.
He gently opened the first page.
The handwriting was neat despite its age.
Every page contained detailed explanations regarding soul power cultivation, meditation, and circulation methods.
Yuxuan had already memorized most of its contents over the past two years.
Now.
He could finally use it.
"This should be considered an intermediate cultivation technique."
According to his grandmother's notes, this technique was commonly taught within Spirit Hall's elementary soul master academies.
Ordinary academies like Nuoding generally only provided the most basic meditation methods.
This manual was clearly superior.
Although it couldn't compare to the legendary cultivation arts of the continent's great sects.
It was already an excellent foundation for common soul masters, His grandmother had written how she obtained it.
Back when she still served in Spirit Hall, she and several companions had accumulated merit by assisting with patrols and hunting soul beasts.
Instead of exchanging those merits for money, She had chosen this cultivation technique.
It had accompanied her throughout her journey to Rank 33 Soul Elder.
Yuxuan smiled faintly "Grandmother... you really left me something precious." He gently traced the pages with his fingers.
In his previous life, he had often seen readers underestimate these ordinary cultivation techniques.
After all.
Tang San possessed the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Compared to that heaven-defying cultivation art, almost every other technique seemed mediocre.
But Yuxuan never thought that way.
"The Mysterious Heaven Skill belongs to Tang San."
"This manual belongs to me."
It wasn't the strongest.
But.
It was more than enough for someone just beginning cultivation.
Even if it could only increase his cultivation speed by a small margin compared to ordinary meditation.
Years of accumulation would eventually produce noticeable results, There was no such thing as a useless cultivation technique.
Only people who failed to make full use of what they had.
Closing the manual, Yuxuan took a deep breath.
Before cultivating, There was something he wanted to confirm.
"My second martial soul"
During today's awakening ceremony, he had suppressed it without even seeing what it was.
Slowly.
He opened his left hand.
A soft white light gathered above his palm.
The light condensed into a smooth pearl about the size of a baseball.
It floated quietly in the air.
Its surface was pure white, emitting a faint spiritual glow.
Yuxuan carefully examined it.
"A pearl."
It wasn't unfamiliar.
Thanks to the memories of this life, he recognized it immediately.
His grandmother's martial soul had been the Sacred Sea Pearl.
A support-type martial soul capable of healing injuries, restoring stamina, and assisting cultivation.
It had allowed her to become a respected Rank 33 Soul Elder despite her ordinary background.
Unfortunately.
The pearl floating before him was different.
Its aura was much weaker.
Much simpler.
He quickly searched through his family's notes.
After several minutes he found an illustration.
His lips twitched slightly "Spirit Pearl." A regressed variant of the Sacred Sea Pearl.
If the Sacred Sea Pearl could be considered an advanced martial soul, Then the Spirit Pearl was merely its incomplete predecessor.
A martial soul that possessed only the most basic supportive abilities.
Yuxuan stared silently at the pearl.
Then.
He looked at the Blue Silver Grass in his other hand.
Blue Silver Grass.
Spirit Pearl.
"..."
He couldn't help letting out a long sigh "I really awakened two trash-tier martial souls." Blue Silver Grass was already infamous throughout the continent.
As for the Spirit Pearl.
Although it wasn't completely useless, its growth potential was considered extremely limited.
Neither martial soul inspired confidence.
Fortunately, Yuxuan wasn't particularly disappointed.
After all.
He had expected as much.
Neither of his parents nor grandparents possessed extraordinary bloodlines.
Awakening two ordinary martial souls wasn't surprising.
Besides, He wasn't truly starting from zero.
His innate soul power had already been raised to level ten by the Choice System.
He possessed two lives' worth of knowledge.
He had a decent cultivation technique.
His family's inheritance remained intact.
Most importantly.
He had time.
Plenty of it.
Yuxuan dispersed both martial souls.
The room became quiet once more.
A smile slowly returned to his face.
"So what if they're ordinary?"
"The Douluo Continent values strength."
"Not appearances."
His gaze unconsciously drifted toward the system interface only he could see.
Perhaps one day, The system would provide an opportunity to improve his martial souls.
Until then he would simply cultivate diligently, one step at a time just as he always had.
