21: Chapter 21 Master Bai

Let's return to Lu Mengmeng, who had just returned home.

She went straight to her room, locked the door with a "click," and ignored Father Lu even when he called out to her.

She spread out a stack of A4 paper, the title "Soul Condensation Breathing Technique 1.0" standing out prominently.

Lu Mengmeng knitted her brows, her fingertips lightly tracing the paper: "This... surely isn't something Boss came up with himself, is it?"

As a member of the Lu Family, she knew better than anyone.

Every single Soul Power cultivation method was the crystallization of hard work, researched by top-tier theoretical masters who had exhausted their life's efforts.

Even one that only offered a twofold increase in cultivation speed would be precious enough to make ordinary Soul Masters fight tooth and nail for it.

Could these few pages that Lin Mo had casually written really be a cultivation method?

Yet, in her heart, she believed in Lin Mo.

Consequently, after memorizing the circulation route, Lu Mengmeng immediately took out a soul crystal and began to absorb it.

Only ten-plus minutes later.

The soul crystal in her hand had been completely absorbed, turning into a clear, crystalline stone.

"It's actually real!"

Lu Mengmeng's eyes were filled with shock.

Given her aptitude with her S-rank Martial Soul, when using her family's breathing technique for cultivation, it usually took nearly an hour to finish absorbing a first-tier soul crystal.

But now, it only took a little over ten minutes...

"Oh wow, Boss is truly amazing!"

Lu Mengmeng was so excited that she jumped up from the floor, nearly hitting the bookshelf.

At this moment, Father Lu's voice came from outside the door: "You brat, why aren't you sleeping? What are you screeching about in there!"

Lu Mengmeng hurriedly shoved the A4 paper under her pillow, took a deep breath, and opened the door: "What is it, old man? I'm in the middle of cultivating!"

"Cultivating what? You haven't awakened your Soul Skill yet, so even if you cultivate, you can't break through level ten. What's the point of cultivating?" Father Lu said with a strange expression.

"By the way, your mother just called back saying she's bringing a highly esteemed instructor tomorrow to guide you in awakening your Soul Skill. Get to sleep early, and don't sleep in tomorrow."

"Ah! Didn't I say I didn't want an instructor?" Lu Mengmeng said with a bitter face.

"Don't be ridiculous. You have a rare mutated Martial Soul; how can you manage without an instructor? Let me tell you, don't you dare listen to that brat Lin Mo about blindly awakening your Soul Skill, or else see how I deal with you!" Father Lu warned with a serious expression.

But Lu Mengmeng was truly unconvinced.

"What do you mean? If it weren't for my Boss, where would I have gotten this mutated Martial Soul? I don't care, anyway, out of my three Soul Skill slots, I must awaken one myself, otherwise, I won't awaken any."

"You brat, you are being completely unreasonable!"

Lu Mengmeng slammed the door shut with a "bang," leaned against the door panel, and stomped her feet indignantly: "You old stubborn mule! You only know how to act all high and mighty because of your age!"

She knew she couldn't convince Father Lu and Mother Lu right now, so reserving one Soul Skill was her bottom line.

If it were before, she might have hesitated, but after learning that Niu Dachun's Soul Skill was awakened under Lin Mo's guidance, she was even more willing to trust Lin Mo.

After all, even those top-tier Martial Soul masters could only formulate a general direction for awakening a Soul Skill based on the Martial Soul.

As for what grade or type it awakened, it was entirely up to luck.

And someone like Lin Mo, who could even specify the Soul Skill to be awakened, was something she had never even heard of.

With that thought, she sat cross-legged on the bed and took out another soul crystal.

She once again circulated the "Soul Condensation Breathing Technique 1.0."

Because Lin Mo had said that before awakening a Soul Skill, one should try to make their Soul Power as solid as possible; the better the foundation, the better the Soul Skill that would be awakened.

The next day.

Lu Mengmeng was still in dreamland.

She was awakened by Father Lu's urgent knocking on the door.

"You brat, get up quickly! Your mother and the instructor are almost here!" Father Lu's voice carried a hint of impatience.

Lu Mengmeng rubbed her sleepy eyes, opened the door with messy hair: "So noisy, what time is it anyway..."

"It's already nine o'clock!" Father Lu shoved her into the bathroom, "Hurry up and wash up! This instructor is no ordinary person; your mother went to great lengths to invite them!"

Lu Mengmeng brushed her teeth in a daze.

By the time she changed her clothes and walked into the living room, she instantly woke up.

She had forgotten to tell Lin Mo that she was awakening her Soul Skill today.

So, while Mother Lu and that master hadn't arrived yet, she took out her phone and called Lin Mo.

Upon receiving this news, Lin Mo and Niu Dachun immediately decided to come and watch.

"Boss, you have to hurry! My dad is watching closely; once they arrive, it won't be easy to let you in!" Lu Mengmeng said urgently into the phone.

After hanging up the phone.

She waited for another half an hour or so.

The doorbell finally rang with a "ding-dong."

The servant hurriedly walked to open the door.

As the door opened, a beautiful woman in her thirties was seen standing outside.

She was wearing a silver combat suit, outlining her tall and full figure, with a dash of heroic spirit between her brows.

Beside her was a middle-aged man wearing a crisp Zhongshan suit, his hair combed back meticulously, his eyes revealing an unconcealable arrogance.

"Yaqin, Master Bai, you've finally arrived!" Father Lu hurriedly went up to greet them, his face beaming with smiles.

"Mm, dear, is Mengmeng up yet?" Commander Lin Yaqin nodded in response, her gaze subconsciously peering into the living room.

"She's up, she's up, she's waiting in the living room!" Father Lu stepped aside to clear the path, ushering them inside.

Walking into the living room, the beautiful woman immediately saw Lu Mengmeng sitting on the sofa and hurriedly waved with a smile:

"Mengmeng, come quickly and meet Master Bai."

Her tone was filled with respect, "This Master Bai is a Martial Soul master as famous as Master Yu."

Master Bai's gaze landed on Lu Mengmeng, and he nodded indifferently: "Mm, Yaqin, is this your youngest daughter with the mutated Martial Soul?"

Lu Mengmeng's brows knitted imperceptibly.

This old thing calls Mom "Yaqin"?

It sounded quite familiar.

She secretly glanced at Father Lu beside her and, sure enough, saw his expression was somewhat unnatural.

Mom also flashed a trace of unnaturalness.

There was probably a story between these two.

Although these thoughts were racing through her mind, Lu Mengmeng still stood up and greeted politely: "Hello, Master Bai, I am Lu Mengmeng."

Master Bai revealed a satisfied smile and asked straight to the point:

"Mengmeng, is it? I heard from your mother that you originally awakened an A-rank Four-Colored Clover, and it only mutated into an S-rank Four-Clawed Devil Vine because you absorbed soul crystals indiscriminately?"

Ordinarily, given his status, even if he were a schoolmate of Mother Lu, he wouldn't have come all the way from the East Sea to Linjiang City for just an S-rank Martial Soul.

But an S-rank Martial Soul that had mutated within a family was different; it was worth his trip.

"You're the one who absorbs soul crystals indiscriminately! Your whole family absorbs soul crystals indiscriminately!"

Lu Mengmeng felt anger flare up in her heart, muttering to herself, "This young lady followed Boss's method, it wasn't just random!"

She was already somewhat repulsed by Master Bai's tone.

At this moment, she couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind, so she simply turned her face away and didn't respond.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother; seeing her daughter's expression, Commander Lin Yaqin knew she was unhappy and hurriedly tried to smooth things over:

"Senior, let's sit down and talk slowly. Old Lu, have the servants bring tea."

Father Lu was actually holding back his own anger, but since he needed their help, he could only suppress it and called out to the door for the servants to prepare tea.

After everyone sat down, Master Bai, as if he hadn't noticed Lu Mengmeng's coldness, said directly: "Mengmeng, release your Martial Soul and let me see."

Lu Mengmeng bit her lip and reluctantly raised her hand.

At this moment, the doorbell rang again.

Father Lu frowned and went to open the door himself.

When he opened the door and saw it was Lin Mo and Niu Dachun.

Father Lu's face immediately darkened.
