25: Chapter 25 A Special Martial Soul

Noon.

The aroma of food wafted through the dining room.

"Little Mo, eat more. Look at how thin you are!"

Commander Lin Yaqin's face was filled with a gentle smile as she kept piling food into Lin Mo's bowl.

Her demeanor made it clear that she treated him like her own son.

Lin Mo didn't stand on ceremony; he kept his head down, focused on eating, consuming whatever Mother Lu put in his bowl.

This was a privilege he had earned through his own capabilities.

"Little Mo, after you finish eating, could you help me take a look? I still have one Soul Skill that hasn't awakened yet."

"No problem, I'll take a look for you in a moment."

Having just received Mother Lu's specific data, Lin Mo already understood her situation.

Commander Lin Yaqin, A-rank Martial Soul "Shadow Leopard," 73rd-level Soul Power, serving as a battalion commander in the Donghai City Defense Army, currently has one empty Soul Skill slot that hasn't awakened.

"Hehe, good child, come, eat more."

Father Lu opened his mouth, wanting to ask Lin Mo to help check his situation as well.

But given his previous attitude toward Lin Mo, he found it difficult to speak up.

Finally, he cast a glance at Commander Lin Yaqin.

Commander Lin Yaqin naturally understood what her husband meant.

"Lin Mo, your Uncle Lu has been stuck at level 69 for several years. Can you help figure out the reason?"

Lin Mo glanced at the restless Lu Jianjie, his tone indifferent: "No problem, as long as the money is right."

Lu Jianjie was choked up by this.

This kid only has eyes for money, and he holds a grudge...

"Don't worry, as long as you can solve the problem, you'll get your money."

"Alright, tell me the situation now, and I'll analyze it for you."

Lu Jianjie frowned and began to briefly explain the situation:

"I don't know why, but ever since my Soul Power reached level 60, although I have three Soul Skill slots, after awakening one Soul Skill, I not only can't awaken the other two, but my Soul Power also can't break through to level 70."

"There's such a situation?" Lin Mo paused.

He immediately asked Father Lu for all his information and Soul Skills.

According to Father Lu, apart from the four fixed innate Soul Skills of his Four-Colored Clover Martial Soul,

the Soul Skills he awakened every ten levels were basically all various enhancement Soul Skills.

It was a pure support Martial Soul without any offensive capabilities.

For teammates, it was a treasure.

But for himself, it was truly a tasteless existence.

After Lin Mo transmitted his information to the System AI,

only two minutes passed.

The System AI analyzed the source of Father Lu's problem.

"So that's it."

Lin Mo put down his chopsticks and tapped his fingertips on the table, "Uncle Lu, your problem is likely that it's 'too pure'."

Lu Jianjie was stunned: "Too pure?"

"That's right, too pure. I presume your ancestors in the Lu Family all awakened various enhancement Soul Skills?"

"Exactly! Our Lu Family's Martial Soul is one of the famous support Martial Souls in the Dragon Kingdom precisely because it consists entirely of various support and enhancement Soul Skills."

"That explains it." Lin Mo picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.

"And based on my deduction, in all these years, your Lu Family has never produced an 80th-level Soul Master, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Father Lu and Mother Lu were instantly shocked.

This was a secret of the Lu Family; how did Lin Mo know?

The couple immediately looked at Lu Mengmeng.

But when they met Lu Mengmeng's foolishly cute gaze,

they immediately dismissed the suspicion.

Because even Lu Mengmeng didn't know this secret.

"Stop guessing, I analyzed it myself." Lin Mo immediately interrupted the couple's suspicions.

Then, he dropped another bombshell.

"Come to think of it, have you never considered that your Lu Family's Four-Colored Clover Martial Soul isn't purely a support Martial Soul?"

The chopsticks in Lu Jianjie's hand dropped onto the table with a "clatter," and his face turned pale.

"You... what did you say? The Four-Colored Clover isn't just a support Martial Soul? Then why are the Soul Skills our Lu Family awakens every time always enhancement Soul Skills?"

Commander Lin Yaqin was also shocked.

"Little Mo, you can't just say things like that! The Four-Colored Clover's four fixed Soul Skills: Strength, Speed, Soul Power, and Recovery, are purely enhancement and support Soul Skills, even certified by the Martial Soul Association..."

"Just because it's certified, does it mean it's correct?"

Lin Mo grabbed Lu Mengmeng by the back of her collar.

"Do you think Lu Mengmeng's Martial Soul mutation happened without any traceable path?"

Lu Mengmeng let out an "Ow" when grabbed, but she obediently didn't move.

She just blinked her eyes at Lin Mo.

Lin Mo pushed her forward, signaling her to release her Martial Soul.

Lu Mengmeng obediently followed instructions and reached out to release her Martial Soul.

"Why was Mengmeng's Four-Colored Clover able to mutate into the Four-Clawed Devil Vine?"

"Because besides inheriting the Lu Family's Martial Soul, she also inherited Auntie's dark attribute. I only facilitated the fusion of the two, which allowed the mutation to occur."

He turned to the pale-faced Lu Jianjie: "Simply put, your Four-Colored Clover Martial Soul is like a blank sheet of paper; which direction it develops depends entirely on its attributes."

"Your Lu Family only uses mental attribute soul crystals for awakening, so wouldn't it only awaken enhancement Soul Skills?"

"This..." Lu Jianjie's throat tightened; it was the first time he had heard such a theory.

"According to you, my Lu Family's ancestors were all misled by the four innate Soul Skills?"

Lin Mo shrugged.

"You could say that."

"However, I suspect that there must have been people in your Lu Family who tried using different attribute soul crystals for awakening, and if nothing went wrong, they basically all failed."

"That is the reason it was confirmed that the Four-Colored Clover was just a pure support Martial Soul."

Lin Mo's words left everyone confused.

He just said the Four-Colored Clover could awaken different Soul Skills based on different attribute soul crystals.

Now he says someone tried and failed.

Isn't this contradictory?

Lin Mo guessed what they were thinking.

"This is also the key point I'm about to mention."

Father Lu, Mother Lu, and Lu Mengmeng all looked solemn, appearing ready to listen attentively.

The corners of Lin Mo's mouth curled up slightly:

"Actually, they all overlooked the most important point."

"As I just mentioned, besides inheriting your Lu Family's Martial Soul, Lu Mengmeng also inherited Auntie's dark attribute."

Lin Mo didn't mention the special nature of the Four-Colored Clover among other things.

So that was it...

Father Lu and Mother Lu's eyes instantly widened, shocked in their hearts.

Afternoon.

In the training room behind the Lu Family villa.

A roar suddenly rang out.

"The ancestors misled me, the ancestors misled me!"

Lu Jianjie looked at the high-speed rotating four-colored wind blade in his hand, his face full of sorrow.

Profound-rank advanced Soul Skill, Wind Whirl Slash!

After lunch, following Lin Mo's suggestion,

he abolished all those useless enhancement Soul Skills.

And since he inherited the wind attribute from Lu Mengmeng's grandmother, the direction of his awakened Soul Skill was also wind attribute.

Although his Soul Power dropped to level 55 because of discarding his Soul Skills,

he had no regrets at all.

Because he now not only had an offensive Soul Skill, but also four innate enhancement Soul Skills.

He could be considered the first combat-assist Soul Master who could both support and attack.

Lu Jianjie threw the Wind Whirl Slash with all his might.

Carrying his suppressed grief and indignation of many years, the Wind Whirl Slash emitted a piercing "buzzing" sound as it slashed toward a wooden stake a hundred meters away.

"Pfft!"

Before the sharp wind attribute energy, the wooden stake was vulnerable and was instantly cut in half.

Lin Mo saw this scene and fell into deep thought.

He vaguely felt that the Lu Family's Four-Colored Clover Martial Soul was not simple.

He had three reasons for this.

First: This is a heritable Martial Soul.

Second: Plasticity! It mutates based on the fusion of different attributes.

Third: No matter how the previous generation mutates, when the next generation awakens, it still returns to that basic Four-Colored Clover form.

Damn, this is simply a super Martial Soul.
