Douluo: This soul master is a big eater

Chapter 3: Twins
Yun Yi just returned to his own courtyard.

Gurgle, gurgle...

"Why are you here so early today?" Yun Yi touched his empty belly with a puzzled look on his face and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Yun Yi didn't think much about it, and immediately lit a fire under his own stove. He washed the few remaining food he had with clean water, poured it all into the pot, added clean water and started to boil.

While Yun Yi was waiting, Yun Yi's mind moved and he summoned his martial soul.

In just a moment, a flash of black light appeared in Yun Yi's hand. Yun Yi looked at the iron rod in his hand carefully but could not see any clues. It was just an ordinary iron rod.

"No, the mysterious feeling when I awakened my martial soul just now has nothing to do with my martial soul." Yun Yi murmured.

Gurgle, gurgle...

At this moment, Yun Yi felt a strong sense of hunger in his stomach that spread throughout his body. The iron stick martial spirit in his hand could no longer be maintained and disappeared on its own.

"What's going on with this body?" Yun Yi frowned slightly and slowly lowered his head to look at his empty palm and asked.

Suddenly, the figure of Old Jack appeared in Yun Yi’s mind.

"Could it be physical strength?" After spending six years in Douluo Continent, Yun Yi also understood some basic common sense about martial souls that he did not know in his previous life. When a soul master uses martial souls, it consumes not only soul power, but also his own physical strength. This is why even if most people have not awakened their soul power, they can still use their martial souls to assist themselves in various industries.

Yun Yi had also seen the situation where the martial soul disappeared on its own, just like when he ate Old Jack's carrots. In the end, Old Jack was exhausted and could no longer use his martial soul.

“But based on the amount I ate this morning, I usually don’t feel hungry at this time. Could it be that due to the awakening of my martial soul, my energy consumption has become greater?” Yun Yi thought about it and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

How can one be a soul master in this situation? If one suddenly becomes hungry while fighting, wouldn't it be a laughing stock? Making a fool of oneself is a small matter, but being killed by others would be the biggest joke.

"As the consumption increases, the various data of the body should also increase." Yun Yi murmured. As a modern man, although Yun Yi was not a science student in his previous life, he still knew the basic law of conservation of energy.

Just as Yun Yi was about to find a stone to test his strength.

Gurgle, gurgle... a feeling of weakness spread throughout my body.

Yun Yi touched his belly with a helpless look on his face, "Forget it, let's wait for the meal to be cooked. After this meal, there will be no more food left. I have to think of a way to prepare dinner myself."

Soon, smoke rose from Yun Yi's courtyard. Yun Yi smelled the fragrance of rice porridge and couldn't help but drink several bowls in succession. The hunger in his body then disappeared without a trace.

Yun Yi then tried to recall the mysterious feeling that appeared when he awakened his martial soul. His pupils subconsciously focused on the front. Yun Yi could clearly feel a warm current flowing from his lower dantian upwards at this moment.

"This is..." The mysterious state appeared again, and Yun Yi instantly felt that the whole world became transparent. The scene in his eyes became more layered, and the dust in the air was so clearly visible. Yun Yi then relaxed the focus of his eyes, and the world in his eyes returned to normal in just a moment.

"That warm current should be soul power, I don't have the Purple Demon Eye, such a body ability... Could it be that I am also a Huo Gua?"

Yun Yi, who had watched Douluo Dalu, immediately had a guess in his mind.

Yun Yi immediately found a palm-sized stone in the yard. Yun Yi tried to recall the familiar feeling, closed his eyes, and then squeezed it hard. The familiar warm current appeared again, but the direction of flow changed and went towards his palm.

Yun Yi opened his eyes suddenly. The palm-sized stone in his hand had broken into several pieces. Looking at the broken stones in his hand, Yun Yi's face showed ecstasy.

“This is the power of the martial soul. I also have two martial souls…” Yun Yi murmured with a smile.

How can a six-year-old child crush a stone without using a martial spirit?

Just when Yun Yi was happy, a familiar sound of gurgling, gurgling... was heard, and a familiar feeling of hunger came from his stomach.

Yun Yi came back to his senses and touched his belly, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

“We have to find a way to make money.” Yun Yi shook his head with a wry smile. If his guess was correct, his original martial soul was himself, all over his body, not just a pair of eyes like Huo Yuhao.

If the entire body is a martial soul, the blessing that the soul power brings to the body is all-round, and the consumption it brings is also immeasurable.

Thinking of this, Yun Yi suddenly understood that all the strange phenomena that had occurred to him so far could be explained.

Strength, speed, physical fitness, and even the five senses and six consciousnesses that surpass those of peers are all brought by the martial soul of the body, and the corresponding result is huge consumption.

"No wonder I don't gain weight even though I eat so much." Yun Yi muttered.

Gurgle, gurgle...

Yun Yi showed a helpless look on his face. He could understand the power of the original martial soul, but with his current financial situation, he couldn't afford to maintain this martial soul. "If the Clear Sky Hammer is too heavy to be used, I can take it back and not use it. But this original martial soul..."

Yun Yi sighed slightly, drank all the remaining rice porridge in the pot, found the fishing tools and some homemade bait in the yard, and headed out of the village.

Soon, Yun Yi was sitting by the river just like yesterday.

Looking at the calm river surface, Yun Yi couldn't help but sigh, "No matter where you are, the first thing to solve is always the problem of food and clothing."

Yun Yi couldn't help but feel a headache when thinking about this problem. The few dollars he got as a work-study student might not be enough for food. How should he survive in Notting College for six years?
You can't be a savage and go fishing and hunting every day.

"Increasing income and reducing expenditure means either making more money or finding food with higher energy, or you can only find ways to reduce your body's power consumption."

Just as he was thinking, Yun Yi heard the movement of his long fishing rod. He quickly put aside his thoughts and picked up the fish from the river in an instant.

Yun Yi skillfully processed the fish, lit a bonfire, and put the fish aside to roast.

“You know what, it’s a bit ridiculous. Both of them have innate level one martial spirits, and they’re grilling fish.” Yun Yi couldn’t help but smile as he looked at the grilled fish in front of him.

"If the eyes develop towards spiritual power, then how will the body, a complex composed of various organs, develop?" Yun Yi slowly took a bite of the grilled fish, and this question arose in his mind.

When it comes to developing his twin martial souls, Yun Yi chose without hesitation to develop his own original martial soul first. In Yun Yi's view, the human body is a huge treasure house and the foundation for everything a soul master has.

How to develop one's own martial soul is actually already given a very good answer by Huo Gua ten thousand years later, which is to choose a single attribute around the spirit eye and superimpose it just like Huo Yuhao did. The same development method is also used for Du Bu Si.

In Yun Yi's opinion, as a person with twin martial souls, he is slightly different from Huo Gua and Du Bushi. He does not need to consider how to use his physical martial soul to acquire what kind of skills to increase his combat effectiveness. Instead, he focuses on how to keep his body healthy. This will be the basis for him to forge a peerless magic weapon, and finally use his perfect body to control the martial soul.

With this in mind, Yun Yi already understood the criteria for choosing his own soul ring, which is the most extreme power.

"The spirit ring choice of the Li clan is very suitable for me." Yun Yi murmured.

The primates that are most similar to the human body are apes, and their extreme strength is also laying the foundation for using their own iron rods in the future.

After almost finishing the meal, Yun Yi started practicing the Taoist's Vajra Kung Fu by the river.

Soon, as the movements unfolded, Yun Yi could now clearly feel a familiar warm current flowing through his body along a certain route during the practice.

Yun Yi's expression was slightly stern, and he looked serious, carefully feeling the soul power flowing in his body when he made each movement. After completing a set of movements, the soul power actually just flowed throughout his body.

"It seems that the Taoist master did not fool people. What he passed down are all real things. The soul power flows in the body and continuously nourishes the whole body. Before there was no soul power, what was moving was what the Taoist master called qi and blood." Yun Yi murmured.

In Yun Yi's opinion, the internal strength taught by the Taoist priest can be understood as a method of nourishing the body from the inside. Then what is the principle of the method that can cultivate energy or internal strength and soul power like Tang San?

"It's a pity that I can't achieve the legendary inner vision, otherwise I might be able to research a method like Tang San that can cultivate internal strength." Yun Yi thought with some regret.

Yun Yi shook his head slightly and started to worry about the future again. He didn't have a good solution to the biggest limitation of his martial soul.

"It's not good to keep eating like this. Even if you have a mountain of gold and silver, you have to eat it all up."

Yun Yi thought about it and his eyes fell on the fish in the bucket beside him.

"The energy contained in soul beasts should be greater, and..." At this moment Yun Yi thought of the extraordinary powers in another comic in his previous life.

"If my body control ability reaches a certain level in the future, can I have the same ability as the Six-Storage Immortal Thief? Even if the Six-Storage Immortal Thief's level is difficult to reach, the human digestive system still has a powerful effect. If the energy from eating is not used to nourish the body, can it be converted into soul power?"

“I don’t want to think about it anymore. Thinking too much is just wishful thinking. I still have to eat one bite at a time.” Yun Yi murmured, and then summoned his martial soul.

Looking at the rather plain iron rod in his hand, Yun Yi did not dislike it. He gently touched the cold iron rod and smiled, "You are now in your original form. I don't know what you will become in the future. As the saying goes, Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. All things in the world started from Tao, so let's call it Wuji."

"Although you are just an ordinary iron rod now, I believe that in the future your name will spread throughout the Douluo Continent along with me."

Thinking of this, Yun Yi became even more excited about his future journey as a soul master.

Afterwards, Yun Yi put the iron rod in his hand back into his body. He didn't want to feel hungry again before mealtime. However, what Yun Yi didn't know was that the moment he put the iron rod away, a black light flashed on the iron rod, as if responding to what Yun Yi had just said.

"There are still three months before school starts. I should think of ways to make money." Yun Yi muttered as he picked up the bucket beside him.
