Chapter 107 Return to the Emperor
Chapter 107 Return to Di'ao
Night falls on the shores of Lake Life.
Taking advantage of the opportunity while Di Tian and the others were cultivating under the Lake of Life, Xiong Jun once again quietly approached Huo Yuhao.
"Kid."
Xiong Jun lowered his voice and said, "Di Tian isn't here right now. Let me take another look at your first soul skill."
Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "Senior Xiong Jun, you've watched it more than twenty times already."
Xiong Jun transformed into human form and waved his hand impatiently: "Just use it when I tell you to! Why all the nonsense?"
"It's better that he knows! That way, I can come to you openly and legitimately!"
"If you dare utter another word, I won't let you eat that honey!"
The honey from the Ten Thousand Year Moon Shadow Spirit Bee was the reward Xiong Jun gave Huo Yuhao each time he watched the Ice Dragon Tear the Sky Hand.
This honey contains extremely pure moonlight energy, which is very beneficial for cultivating spiritual power.
Although the Ice Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand, a martial art from the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique, has been solidified into a soul skill, its potential for power growth is actually the greatest among all of Huo Yuhao's soul skills due to its foundation in heavenly martial arts.
Huo Yuhao understood what Xiong Jun was thinking: he hoped to improve his Sky-Tearing Claw by observing the power-manipulation techniques of the Ice Dragon's Sky-Tearing Hand.
His strength is far inferior to Xiong Jun's.
However, the Ice Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand, as a martial art recorded in the Heavenly Martial Arts, contains many profound mysteries in its basic energy circulation and power generation techniques that Xiong Jun has never encountered before.
As the king of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, Xiong Jun's power is naturally incomparably formidable.
But Xiong Jun relied more on his racial instincts to unleash the Dark Gold Terror Claw.
The Sky-Tearing Claw is one of Xiong Jun's few creations.
There's a saying in the world of Soul Masters: "Strength can overcome technique," which perfectly describes Xiong Jun's situation.
As long as one's racial talent is strong enough and one's strength is great enough, even if the Sky-Tearing Claw has many technical shortcomings, Xiong Jun is enough to leave injuries on Di Tian, and even tear Xue Di's hand down to just a layer of skin.
"All right."
Huo Yuhao's martial soul was activated, and then the Ice Emperor's spirit rings lit up instantly.
Mouth!
Five sharp, cold beams tore through the air, emitting a piercing whistling sound, before slamming heavily into Xiong Jun's body.
Di Tian knew about Xiong Jun's desire to learn the Heaven-Tearing Hand technique from the very first day Xiong Jun met Huo Yuhao.
Di Tian is now paying attention to Huo Yuhao almost all the time, so how could he not notice Xiong Jun's abnormality?
He simply couldn't be bothered with the matter of Xiong Jun wanting to defeat him and become the new Star Dou Soul Beast Master.
Because it wasn't just Xiong Jun who was making progress; Di Tian was also secretly comprehending it.
He was observing Huo Yuhao's Ice Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand, a soul skill that might be related to the Dragon God Prince, to see if it had any similarities to the Dragon God Claw.
Xiong Jun neither dodged nor avoided the ice dragon's tearing hand landing on him.
"Not bad, the force is even stronger than last time."
"Let's do it again, this time in slow motion."
Huo Yuhao slowed down his movements and dissected the trajectory of the Ice Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand's power in front of Xiong Jun.
The Ice Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand is a martial art from the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique, which requires the bloodline of the dragon race to be used.
Moreover, the most crucial energy burst can only be unleashed by relying on the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao was not worried at all that Xiong Jun could master this move.
Even Di Tian, who was observing from the shadows, was no exception.
Without the Azure Dragon Transformation Technique, they would never have been able to learn the Ice Dragon Sky-Tearing Hand.
No matter how closely they imitate, it is ultimately just a superficial resemblance.
This is different from the Body Sect.
Regarding the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao tends to guide the Body Sect to create its own martial arts based on the principles of different martial arts.
Although this is slow, it holds unlimited potential for the Body Sect.
From the Soul Shattering Chant to the various techniques for resonating soul power and spiritual power in the Soul Forging process, Huo Yuhao has been guiding the Body Sect with flashes of inspiration.
One is cooperation that gives a man a fish, the other is teaching him how to fish; Huo Yuhao has a clear distinction in his mind.
Ultimately, the relationship between soul beasts and humans is one of overall hostility.
The case of Xue Di is an isolated incident, and it only applies to the Body Sect.
Before he can solve this major problem, Huo Yuhao must first ensure the strength of the Body Sect.
Xiong Jun stared intently at Huo Yuhao's movements, his dark golden pupils gleaming with excitement.
"I see, that's the transportation technique we need to use."
"And here, it turns out that the method of using muscle and bone resonance is used."
"Good, good, good. This way the power transfer is more coherent, instead of a one-time burst followed by a recharge."
Not only Xiong Jun, but also Di Tian in the shadows nodded frequently.
Although Huo Yuhao explained many of the things, he figured them out on his own after learning the Dragon God Claw.
However, there are still many clever little tricks that can provide Di Tian with some small help.
This made Di Tian even more certain that Huo Yuhao was the successor of the Dragon God Crown Prince.
Xiong Jun rubbed his hands together excitedly: "Di Tian, just wait and see my transformation!"
Then Xiong Jun transformed back to his original form, rumbling as he produced a honey crystal the size of a washbasin from who-knows-where.
"This is your reward! I always keep my word!"
Huo Yuhao was overjoyed.
The Moonshadow Honey that Bear-kun has given him these past few days is enough for him to choose between light magic and soul magic seals and solidify them completely.
As long as one continues to learn magic and fill in the gaps in the runes, these runes will become more and more perfect and powerful.
Xiong Jun raised his dark gold claws and, mimicking Huo Yuhao's movements, ripped them forward with a fierce tear!
Instantly, five dark golden claw-like beams pierced the sky, possessing an even more ferocious aura than usual!
"Haha, it's done!"
Xiong Jun transformed into human form and patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder with a carefree grin: "I promise, from now on, whenever I see anyone from your Body Sect, I'll make them run ten kilometers first!"
Just then, a majestic voice rang out from behind them.
"Brother Xiong, why are you disturbing Huo Yuhao's cultivation in the middle of the night?"
Xiong Jun turned his head and looked at Di Tian excitedly, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
But it ultimately chose to remain silent: "I just came out for a walk and happened to run into this kid cultivating."
"On a whim, I casually gave him a couple of pointers."
Xiong Jun's new Sky-Tearing Claw is not yet fully mastered.
Therefore, Xiong Jun wanted to wait until he had completely mastered the technique before challenging Di Tian to a duel.
Di Tian turned his gaze to the honey crystal in Huo Yuhao's hand: "Moon Shadow Spirit Bee honey?"
Huo Yuhao coughed lightly.
He forced a smile and said, "I asked Senior Xiong Jun for this."
Di Tian gave Huo Yuhao a deep look: "You're capable of getting things from Xiong Jun."
"Alright, we're returning to the human world tomorrow, Huo Yuhao, you should get some rest."
After Di Tian left, Xiong Jun grinned and said, "Kid, you're a true friend."
"I'll take care of that matter of capturing some spirit-type soul beasts you mentioned!"
"Anyway, you just want to observe them, not hunt souls. I'll catch as many as you want!"
"Even if it's an Evil Eye, I promise to catch one that's 100,000 years old for you!"
"However," Xiong Jun looked at Huo Yuhao with a puzzled expression, "why are you observing them?"
Huo Yuhao said, "All things can be our teachers; we can learn different ways to use spiritual power from them."
"After all, my other martial soul is ultimately a mental type."
After Xiong Jun left, Di Tian came to Huo Yuhao's side again.
"Did Bear agree to your request?"
Huo Yuhao nodded: "I agree."
Di Tian's gaze was deep as he slowly said, "Huo Yuhao, do you know why I didn't stop your deal with Xiong Jun?"
Huo Yuhao cautiously replied, "Senior has his own reasons."
Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the night sky over the Lake of Life.
"Because I believe that your existence may be an opportunity for the soul beast race."
"Whatever the reason, the two auspicious beasts chose you at the same time; this is fate."
Di Tian began to prepare Huo Yuhao mentally in advance.
Once Huo Yuhao's identity as the future successor of the Dragon God is revealed, he can directly become the spokesperson for soul beasts.
Huo Yuhao remained silent.
He always felt that his status as the successor of the Ice God was not worthy of Di Tian treating him this way.
Di Tian hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not give the Silver Dragon King's scale to Huo Yuhao.
He sighed inwardly, thinking he would wait until the time was right to ask. Huo Yuhao was also hesitant, unsure how to broach the subject and ask Di Tian about the Dragon Clan.
The dimensional space in Dragon City was something he always kept in mind.
And so, the two people, each with their own thoughts, stood silently before the Lake of Life.
Finally, Di Tian and Huo Yuhao spoke almost simultaneously: "Senior Di Tian."
"Huo Yuhao".
They exchanged a glance, then said simultaneously, "You go first."
Finally, both of them fell silent again.
Forget it.
As night deepened, the lake of life began to ripple gently.
Di Tian finally broke the silence: "What level are you at now?"
"Level 37. After returning and cultivating normally for a few days, I should be able to break through to level 38."
"I heard from the Snow Empress that your priority in acquiring spirit rings is dragon bloodline over ice?"
Huo Yuhao considered carefully and said, "Theoretically speaking, that's how it is."
"In my mind, physical strength is the most important factor. And soul beasts with dragon bloodlines often represent those with powerful physical bodies."
Di Tian said "Oh," and then added, "Once you break through level 40, I will personally select a suitable soul beast for you."
Huo Yuhao gave Di Tian a very strange look.
Di Tian said, "There's no need to look at me like that. Those soul beasts didn't come from the Star Dou Great Forest."
"I have traveled the world and discovered that our world is a sphere."
"On the other side of the ocean, there are two other continents, where many soul beasts live."
Two other continents?!
Di Tian continued, "Just like your second spirit ring, there are also spirit beasts there that are known as true dragons among martial spirits."
"Once you break through level 40, I will take you there to hunt souls."
Huo Yuhao said solemnly, "In that case, thank you very much, senior."
Di Tian gave Huo Yuhao a meaningful look: "No need for thanks, it's all fate's arrangement."
"Alright, go and rest. We'll be setting off back to the human world tomorrow."
Huo Yuhao took his leave, but his heart remained unsettled for a long time.
If, as Di Tian said, there are two other continents on the ocean, then the material problem that has been troubling the soul forging process for so long can be easily solved.
Xue Yang and his group returned from the Sun Moon Empire not long after the operation to eliminate the evil soul masters ended.
According to the information they brought, since the Sun Moon Empire also began to purge evil spirit masters, their control over rare metals has become increasingly strict.
Even the black market has begun to see involvement from the Sun and Moon Royal Family.
Therefore, Xue Yang and his group did not gain much.
Huo Yuhao frowned in thought.
The ocean is now a forbidden land for mankind. Even if there are two continents there, how can we transport the rare metals from there to the Heavenly Soul Empire in the future?
Electrox then said, "We can use the undead demiplane as an anchor point."
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up.
If the undead demiplane could be used as a transit point, the transportation problem could indeed be solved.
However, two key issues need to be addressed to achieve this.
First, how to ensure that the undead demiplane can stably connect two or even three continents.
Second, how can we reasonably explain the undead demiplane to the Heavenly Soul Empire?
The first problem cannot be solved now.
Huo Yuhao pondered how to explain the undead demiplane.
After all, in the eyes of the people of Douluo Continent, the undead creatures inside were undoubtedly all products of evil soul masters.
Just as Huo Yuhao was deep in thought, the sun in the east had already risen.
"Never mind, we'll see when the time comes."
Huo Yuhao packed his bags and left the Lake of Life with Xue Di, Di Tian, Bi Ji, and Gu Mingxi.
Watching Di Tian's departing figure, Xiong Jun let out a sinister laugh.
Meanwhile, the Body Sect stands between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Heavenly Barrier.
"Life and death are intertwined, yin and yang complement each other."
After more than two months of seclusion, Poison Undying sat cross-legged in the center of the secret room, surrounded by two completely different forces.
His left side was full of vitality, as if his flesh contained boundless life force.
His right side was a deathly grayish-white.
The poison of life and death flowed along the midline of the two skin colors, exuding an aura of balance.
Poison Undying murmured softly, and the two soul cores within his body began to slowly rotate, attracting each other.
Finally, Poison Undying suddenly released its suppression of the poison of life and death, allowing it to spread throughout its body!
At the same time, the life force within the first soul core surged forth, forming a delicate balance with the toxicity.
I don't know how much time has passed.
As the two soul cores chased each other like yin and yang fish, their powers began to merge.
"Limit Douluo, achieved!"
Poison Undying suddenly opened his eyes, and a vast, ocean-like aura erupted from his body!
The entire secret chamber collapsed in an instant!
Poison Undying clenched his fist, and even space itself was distorted by his power.
"This is the power of the Yin-Yang complementary dual-soul core!"
"Big brother, I've finally taken this step!"
"It's a pity that Mu En is old and frail. Using this state to avenge you will ultimately only make it harder to alleviate his frustration."
A hint of regret flashed in Du Bu Si's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
He flashed and looked at the few remaining members of the Body Sect, his brows suddenly furrowing.
Where are they?
The disciples who remained behind were overjoyed to see Du Busi emerge from seclusion: "Sect Master! You've finally come out of seclusion!"
"You—you've become a Limit Douluo?!"
"Congratulations, Sect Master! Congratulations, Sect Master!"
Poison Immortal ignored his flattery and instead asked, "Where have all the people from the sect gone?"
"All the elders have gone to the Imperial Academy!"
Poison Undying was taken aback: "What are you going to Imperial Academy for?"
"Moun has recovered to his full strength and is leading the Sea God Pavilion in an attack!"
The disciple quickly said, "He threatened to kidnap our junior brother at the opening ceremony of Di'ao Academy and make him kowtow and apologize under the golden tree at Shrek Academy!"
"He said this was a private matter between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy, no—."
Before the disciple could finish speaking, Du Busi had already transformed into a streak of light, tearing through the sky and disappearing!
"Moun! You're asking for it!"
