Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 12 Mu Xi: So embarrassing!
Mu Xi returned to her soul guide car and saw that Mu Chen had come over and was talking to an old man. She did not disturb them and stood aside to listen to them talk.

Seeing this, Mu Chen didn't chase the person away. After all, it was not an important conversation.

"President Mu is fine. He bought a lot of rare treasures for your daughter." The old man also glanced at Mu Xi, shook his head and smiled, "I, an old man, have made a wasted trip."

Mu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "The Spirit Pagoda has a close relationship with the two major soul beast gathering places, so there is no shortage of ten thousand year old souls. Who would have thought that Hua Yichen would also be interested in that soul?"

"Hmm?" The old man was a little surprised. "President Mu, don't you know? That ten thousand year old soul was provided by the Shen family. It was originally intended for the child next to Hua Yichen."

"No one in their clan could hold the Evil Eye Tyrant's soul, so they wanted to make a deal with the Spirit Transferring Tower to obtain a soul suitable for inheritance. Then, a genius with innate full soul power and a spiritual-attributed martial soul appeared, giving them an opportunity."

Mu Chen and Mu Xi, who was listening in, were both stunned and secretly shocked.

Innate full soul power? Top-level martial soul?

No matter which one, it is a very rare existence in Donghai City.

Mu Chen was the first to come to his senses. "I've been busy with the Association's affairs lately, so I haven't been paying attention to the Spirit Pagoda's movements. Is that child special? Which family's core disciple is he in the Spirit Pagoda?"

"Neither. According to investigation, he was born into a civilian family in Donghai City."

The old man sighed softly, "It is precisely because of this that he seems even more special. Hua Yichen even arranged a Soul Douluo to secretly protect him. I'm afraid it's not just his innate full soul power and his original martial soul that are so important. There are other extraordinary qualities as well."

"Contra..."

Mu Chen was secretly shocked.

Donghai City is located in a remote area of ​​Douluo Continent. Although its economy is very developed, its soul masters are relatively weak. There are not many strong people with ten thousand year old souls. There is only one Nine Rings Titled Douluo in public, and that is the Free and Easy Douluo of the Spirit Transferring Tower - Hua Yichen!

Under Hua Yichen, the strongest people in the East China Sea Spirit Pagoda were two Soul Douluos, one of whom was actually sent to protect Huo Yuhao. It can be imagined how much the Spirit Pagoda values ​​Huo Yuhao.

The old man continued, "The Spirit Pagoda has now replaced the Spirit Hall of 20,000 years ago. It allows common people to awaken their spirits for free. Common spirit masters naturally become close to them. Through the trials and tribulations, they always find top-tier talents. They also have close relationships with spirit beasts, and are becoming increasingly powerful."

Mu Chen coughed lightly and reminded:
"Mr. Li, be careful, the Spirit Pagoda and the Spirit Hall are different."

Elder Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Look at you, what are you thinking about? Of course I know they are different. My family was once a commoner, and we have to inherit the Spirit Tower's debt. I have no objection to them helping commoners awaken their martial spirits for free."

"I'm just impressed by their wealth. Whether it's your Forging Association, our Mecha Master Association, or any other faction, none of them have the ability to do something like this. Only the Spirit Pagoda, which is as wealthy as a nation, is willing to spend a huge amount of money every year to do this. It's only natural for a civilian genius to join the Spirit Pagoda."

Mu Chen fell silent for a moment.

That's true, but the Spirit Pagoda is too powerful. When other forces face it alone, they unconsciously lose out.

Um, alone?

"Since you're not in the mood to chat anymore, I'll be leaving first. Bring Mu Xi to the Mecha Association more often when you have time."

After saying this, Mr. Li patted Mu Chen's shoulder and turned to leave.

Mu Chen stood there, looking at Mr. Li's back, feeling mixed emotions.

He already understood what Mr. Li meant, but the union of the two associations, even if it was just the union of the East China Sea branches, was not something he could decide alone. A high-level meeting needed to be held to discuss it.

"Let's go home."

Mu Chen turned to Mu Xi and said, "You heard what I just said. If you meet Huo Yuhao next time, don't be so petty."

He had seen the scene where Mu Xi ran to find Huo Yuhao. Given his daughter's proud and competitive personality, it was highly likely that the two of them were not getting along very happily.

"Oh……"

Mu Xi nodded blankly, then remembered what she had said to Huo Yuhao, and her cheeks turned red instantly.

What did she say?
Telling a core disciple of the Spirit Pagoda who is born with full soul power and protected by a Soul Douluo that he hopes he can be matched with a ten thousand year soul?
It was even because of him that the soul was auctioned...

This... feels awkward just thinking about it.

But he did look very ordinary, she was not wrong.

Mu Xi thought unconvincedly, but lowered her head with a red face, turning into an ostrich.

……

Seeing that Muchen didn't call out to him immediately, Li Yucheng sighed with regret and left. Of the four major secondary professions, the number of spirit masters choosing the forging path in the major academies was the smallest, and the number of forging talents was also the smallest. However, many secondary professions needed the help of forgers to reach the pinnacle, which further elevated the status of high-level forgers.

Mu Chen was an Eight-Star Saint Craftsman, second only to the Nine-Star Divine Craftsman. If the East China Sea Forging Association and the Mecha Engineer Association were to further merge, it would greatly benefit both associations.

He is old, but his heart is still young.

Whether it is to train outstanding successors or to achieve cooperation with the Forging Association, he wants to do something for the association before retiring.

But now it seems that there is no hope for either of them. I won’t have the confidence to show off to old friends when I go to the headquarters in the future.

Li Yucheng smiled helplessly.

……

"Give."

Hua Yichen walked out of the museum and handed a small ball to Huo Yuhao.

"The soul is inside. You've read so many books recently, you should know how to use the soul ball."

The Soul Ball is a spherical soul guide device that stores souls. Like a storage soul guide device, it has a space inside for the soul to survive and is relatively expensive.

The manufacturing principle is similar to that of storage soul guides. After all, souls are creatures between life and death, and the requirement that storage soul guides cannot store living things does not apply to them.

As for its functions, one is to store souls, which is most commonly used in the Soul Tower. Another function is to allow souls to accompany soul masters closely as they grow and cultivate feelings.

After all, a soul contract requires the soul's consent, but the more powerful the soul, the more picky it is about its contractor. At this time, in addition to using strength to convince the soul, you have to consider playing the emotional card.

If a soul watches a soul master grow up and gets along well with him, even if the soul master is very weak, the desire to resist will not be too strong.

Huo Yuhao took the half-red and half-white soul ball, his expression indescribable.

In his opinion, this thing is similar to a Poké Ball in both appearance and function. He has no idea who made it, and there is no record of it in history books.

That’s right, Huo Yuhao wants to make it clear that this was not invented by him, it was definitely not a soul guide device invented by him!
He had only mentioned the concept of Poké Balls thousands of years ago, but who would have thought that someone would actually create one...

Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao looked at Hua Yichen, who had a calm expression.

“What are they asking for?”

Even the soul balls are ready, it is obvious that they came here for him in the first place. However, if the souls are handed over to them in the form of auction, they should not ask for much.

"They just want to spend money to buy a ticket to the Soul Tower. It's no big deal. You don't need to worry about these things. Just focus on your cultivation."

Hua Yichen smiled calmly and jokingly said, "I'm counting on you to find a leisurely job to support your retirement after you become successful in the future."

Huo Yuhao put away the soul ball. His recent interactions made him realize that Hua Yichen was not the kind of person who liked to put on airs, so he simply replied with a smile.

"That's unfortunate. If I do become successful, I might have to keep everyone busy."

"You're indirectly saying I'm idle, right?"

Hua Yichen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "Okay, we've got the whale glue, let's go."

Huo Yuhao was about to nod when he suddenly noticed an old man and paused. "Teacher Hua, it's not against the rules for Spirit Pagoda members to practice secondary professions and join related associations, right?"

Hua Yichen followed his gaze and saw Li Yucheng. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you want to join the Mecha Engineer Association and study a secondary profession?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, "Yes."

Hua Yichen fell into deep thought upon hearing this. "Your soul skills are indeed very suitable for mecha design and manufacturing, but you just need to be careful not to miss out on your cultivation."

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

Huo Yuhao rarely showed a confident smile.

He may not be talented in other areas, but when it comes to soul guides, he is very confident.

　The original book also has a soul ball, which is also used to store souls, but it seems to be a disposable item.
