WHAT IF ..... Soul Land 2

Chapter 1.2: The Youth with the Spirit Eyes (*nothing changed)

Author notes: Another chapter of Yuhao background, so basically no changes at all. Just some wording changed. Cause in english the meaning of soul,spirit, spiritual have a bit similar meaning and sometimes mixed up. So I will change the word "spiritual type soul" to "mental type soul".

People who were between the first and tenth rank of soulforce fell underneath the category of Soul Scholar. When someone's martial soul was awakened, their innate soulforce would signify their talent towards becoming a soul master. As such, a person with greater talent would have a greater cultivation speed. If one had tenth-ranked soulforce after their martial soul had awakened, they would be a gifted person with 'innate full soulforce'. That person would thus be referred to as a genius soul master. A genius soul master would have great accomplishments in his life as long as his martial soul wasn't too bad.

Although Huo Yuhao was the son of the Duke, he didn't have the fate to inherited a powerful martial soul from the Duke. At the start the boy has the same martial soul as his father but as he grow the martial soul mutated in to a martial soul that didn't has any similarity to the family's martial soul. If he had, the Duke's wife would've had to report his martial soul to the Duke, regardless of whether or not she liked him. From then on, Huo Yuhao and his mother's destiny would've also changed. But sad to say, an extremely rare mutation changed in Huo Yuhao's martial soul became 'Spirit Eyes'.

Outside of the two main categories of martial souls, there was an extremely tiny subcategory that were known as 'Body Souls'. The martial soul that they awakened would be a part of their body, such as an arm, or a leg.

Almost all Body Souls were extremely strong, but the probability of them appearing was extremely small. It could be said that they were existences above both Beast Souls and Tool Souls, and because of this, they were greatly valued whenever they appeared.

In case of Huo Yuhao's martial soul mutation, Duke family saw it as a negative thing from this family's point of view. His Spirit Eyes martial soul had naturally appeared in his eyes. Furthermore, it was also an extremely rare mental-type martial soul. Under normal circumstances, Huo Yuhao should've become greatly valued. Unfortunately, there were two points that had restricted his development. When he'd awakened his martial soul, his innate soulforce had only been at the first rank. Thus, it could be said that his talent was quite poor, which meant that his cultivation speed would definitely be extremely slow. The second point that had restricted his development was even more fatal; not only were mental-type martial souls rarely seen, mental-type soul beasts were also extremely rare.

Whenever a soul master's cultivation reached the tenth soul rank's bottleneck, they would need to kill a soul beast that was compatible with their martial soul, and then would need to use its soul ring to break through it.

Not only were soul rings required to breakthrough a bottleneck, but they would also give soul masters a skill. This was also one of the origins of a soul masters strength. Combined, these two factors practically doomed Huo Yuhao to have no achievements during his lifetime.

However, he was still the Duke's son in the end. Thus, he still managed to obtain a simple soulforce cultivation method. Even the children of some servants within the Duke's Mansion were capable of reaching the tenth soul rank, and could become soul masters within three years of awakening their martial soul.

When Huo Yuhao had reached the age of eleven this year. He'd already cultivated for five years, yet his soulforce had only barely reached the tenth soul rank. Furthermore, he'd worked three times harder than his peers!
