Douluo Continent: The Incarnation of a Divine Beast, Sister Huo Yutong!

Chapter 25 Possession by Martial Spirit
In the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, the Shrek Seven Devils, who had been sent away by Huo Yuhao earlier, sat on the ground.

Although they were injured in the battle with the Human-Faced Demon Spider, it was not a fatal injury. In addition, since everyone was a top student of Shrek Academy, after some rest, their soul power and injuries had recovered by more than half.

After sending two agility-type Soul Masters back to Shrek City to report the news, the remaining Shrek students chose to stay and wait for Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao to appear.

Although they knew that Zhang Lexuan, who was seriously injured, and Huo Yuhao, who only had tenth-level soul power, had almost no chance of survival after being attacked by the 100,000-year-old human-faced demon spider, they still stayed by the campfire, waiting for a miracle.

Fortunately, their wait was worthwhile.

Two and a half hours later, just as everyone's hope was about to be dashed, a white light finally appeared on the open ground in front of them.

Upon first seeing the white light, some people thought they were seeing things.

Someone rubbed his eyes, and it wasn't until his companion suddenly grabbed his arm that he realized it wasn't a hallucination.

Two figures slowly emerged from the white halo.

"Big...Senior Sister..."

"Xiao Yuhao..."

Upon seeing the two familiar figures, the Shrek members quickly surrounded them.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, we're back..."

Zhang Lexuan spoke softly, but a hint of joy still appeared on her face when she saw the familiar face.

"Senior Sister, you're not dead!"

"Hey, you! How dare you talk like that!"

The first person to speak got a hard slap on the head from his companion, but the other person wasn't angry; he just chuckled foolishly.

Zhang Lexuan knew he was just curious, so she wasn't angry. She simply said in a calm tone:
"Thanks to Yuhao this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to kill that human-faced demon spider!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback at first. But seeing that Zhang Lexuan's expression didn't seem fake, they spoke with disbelief:
"Senior Sister, did you kill that human-faced demon spider?"

"That's a 100,000-year-old soul beast!"

Faced with everyone's curiosity, Zhang Lexuan pursed her lips slightly, glanced at Huo Yuhao's face out of the corner of her eye, then smiled and raised her hand as seven soul rings shot into the sky.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red!

The crimson soul ring at the end resembled a burning sunset, its oppressive aura causing even the campfire to stun.

"This is... the legendary... 100,000-year soul ring?"

"My God... the seventh ring is a 100,000-year soul ring... Am I dreaming?"

"As expected of Senior Sister, she easily accomplished what we dared not even dream of!"

Looking at Zhang Lexuan's huge red spirit ring, no one showed any jealousy; instead, their faces were full of admiration and praise.

Come to think of it, when facing the Human-Faced Demon Spider before, Zhang Lexuan risked her life to protect them, and even chose to cover their retreat alone so that they could escape safely.

The title "Senior Sister" wasn't self-proclaimed by Zhang Lexuan; it was a title spontaneously given by the inner court students, representing their respect for her.

Seeing the admiring looks in everyone's eyes, Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath and pulled Huo Yuhao up beside her.

"This wasn't my doing..."

"In fact, without Xiao Yuhao, I wouldn't have been able to absorb that 100,000-year soul ring..."

Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's voice, everyone turned their attention to Huo Yuhao.

Xiao Yuhao also contributed to this?
Faced with the questioning looks from the crowd, Huo Yuhao silently released his martial spirit.

This was, in fact, the first time he had shown his martial spirit to outsiders.

"Possessed by a martial spirit!"

"Space Dragon - Palkia!"

As the Martial Soul possessed him, a huge silver-gray phantom appeared behind Huo Yuhao. Before anyone could clearly see the outline of the phantom, a sense of dread from the very source of life burst forth from their hearts.

That was absolute suppression from the Martial Soul!
As the martial soul possessed him, a dazzling silver light enveloped Huo Yuhao.

His limbs transformed into thick, beast-like limbs covered in diamond-shaped scales, and a pair of translucent wings covered in spatial patterns emerged from his back.

On her face, the already delicate and lovely features became more deep and three-dimensional, her eyes changed from bright black to cold silver, and a silver rune appeared on her forehead, faintly exuding a mysterious aura.

If so, the previous Huo Yuhao was like a harmless little brother next door, but the Huo Yuhao after being possessed by the Martial Soul is a supreme monarch, cold and powerful!
After Huo Yuhao completed the spirit possession, everyone felt suppressed once again.

Keep in mind that they were all at least Soul Kings, and some were even Soul Emperors, which was dozens of levels lower than Huo Yuhao!
What kind of martial spirit is this?
Even the legendary god-level martial souls aren't this powerful, are they?

What shocked everyone even more was that a deep purple spirit ring slowly rose from beneath Huo Yuhao's feet and eventually settled above his head.

Most of the purple spirit ring was stained black; if you didn't look closely, you might even mistake it for a ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

However, neither a ten-thousand-year soul ring nor a thousand-year soul ring should appear on a one-ring soul master!

First came the unreasonable suppression of the martial spirit, then the extraordinary configuration of the spirit rings. For the first time, everyone felt ashamed of themselves, even though they had always been called monsters.

"Don't misunderstand, everyone. This spirit ring was absorbed by me and Sister Lexuan together..."

The already bewildered crowd became even more bewildered upon hearing Huo Yuhao's voice.

What does "absorb together" mean?
Can spirit rings be absorbed together?

"Ahem, I ran back earlier, wanting to take Sister Lexuan with me, but..."

"Before we died, Sister Lexuan and I unexpectedly discovered that we actually possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill..."

"After killing the Human-Faced Demon Spider, Sister Lexuan and I absorbed its spirit ring together..."

Huo Yuhao briefly explained what had happened.

The forest was deathly silent, and everyone listened in a daze.

A spirit fusion skill? Absorbing spirit rings together?
So, spirit fusion skills have this kind of effect?
No one could refute it, after all, there were very few martial soul fusion skills. Even the Dai and Zhu families, who had stable fusion skills, had never done such a crazy experiment!

After some thought, everyone could only marvel at Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao's good fortune.

Without Huo Yuhao, Zhang Lexuan would not have been able to fight back against the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

Without Zhang Lexuan, Huo Yuhao's first spirit ring would definitely not be of such high quality.

This is a win-win situation, a win twice!
While the group was discussing this, little did they know that a pair of eyes had already taken in everything that had just happened.

Gu Yuena's fingertips dug deep into the tree trunk, her silvery-white pupils fixed on Huo Yuhao. Although it was her soul, she felt her heart pounding fiercely.

She sensed a primal, oppressive force emanating from this frail human.

In the past, Gu Yuena would never have believed that a dragon-type martial soul could suppress her.

You must know, she is the legendary half-body of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King who controls all elemental power!
Even though her strength is only at the level of a first-level god, in terms of the quality of her martial soul, none of those god kings can compare to her.

However, upon seeing Huo Yuhao, she couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence and worship.

It's simply... lower-level dragons yearn to submit to higher-level dragons and become their servants!

Recalling Huo Yuhao's miraculous improvement of human soul masters' quality when facing the Human-Faced Demon Spider, and the dragon martial soul he had just displayed, Gu Yuena's eyes burned even more intensely.

She had a premonition that this human possessed something far beyond her imagination.

"I really want to... arrest him..."

"No...no..."

"Going out like this will only scare him..."

Gu Yuena's silver eyes shifted away from Huo Yuhao, and then she turned and disappeared without a trace.
