Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 18 Magic Power = Soul Power

Grove.

Wang Dong sat by the fire waiting for dinner, quietly watching Huo Yuhao prepare the grilled fish.

What flavor would you like?

Huo Yuhao shook the condiment bottle in his hand.

"Whatever," Wang Dong smiled. "I love anything you bake."

He had only tried a few bites out of curiosity, but he never expected that these simple grilled fish would be transformed into something with the amazing flavor of rare delicacies.

He became somewhat addicted after only a few bites.

"In that case, let me show you the new product I just came up with."

Huo Yuhao instantly perked up, excitedly pulling out several bottles of powder he'd never seen before and scattering them around: "After you've finished eating, remember to give me a useful review. And don't you dare say anything like 'delicious' or 'I love it' again!"

It's just the same two sentences over and over again, day after day.

"Hmph! Isn't this evaluation sufficient?"

Wang Dong deliberately made a face and playfully poked his ribs: "You've really captured my heart through my stomach! If I don't taste this unforgettable flavor for a day, I feel like ants are crawling all over my body!"

"what!"

Huo Yuhao suddenly shuddered: "Don't scare me like that all of a sudden."

We're both guys! And roommates at that!
Please don't awaken anything strange or weird... If that happens, you won't be able to live in the dorm anymore.

Thinking to himself, Huo Yuhao subconsciously glanced at Wang Dong.

Fair-skinned and thin.

Sometimes it even carries a strange sense of femininity.

"hiss!"

Huo Yuhao gasped, inexplicably thinking of the Chrysanthemum Douluo from ten thousand years ago, whom he had been told about in class.

It's a bit scary.

"Hey! What are you thinking?!"

Sensing his inexplicable gaze, Wang Dong's expression changed slightly: "This young master is definitely heterosexual, so put away all your disgusting and filthy thoughts! You should use that energy on grilled fish instead."

Yes, yes...

I have filthy thoughts. I feel disgusted.

You are pure and innocent, you are morally upright, okay?

Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly and turned his attention back to the campfire.

As he focused his gaze and calmed his mind, a strange wave seemed to emanate from him, especially as it slowly extended forward in the direction of his gaze.

Wang Dong, who had been waiting quietly to the side, paused slightly, and a scattering of blue light seemed to flicker deep in his pupils.

Soul power.

Although no one guided him on the techniques of releasing his soul, after a month of diligent exploration, Huo Yuhao still managed to figure out his own unique method and successfully manipulate the part of his soul that had separated from his body through his eyes.

"Whoo~"

The fire flickered almost imperceptibly for a moment, then the flickering and flaring of the flames gradually subsided, becoming docile and maintaining its current temperature and state.

'These are the elements...'

In Huo Yuhao's vision, the bonfire in front of him was composed of a cluster of red light spots with varying degrees of activity. As his soul power spread and covered the area, a very small number of elemental light spots actively approached him.

Next, all that's needed is to capture them back into the Sea of ​​Spirit and fuse them with a portion of spiritual power to create magic.

—At least that's what the cultivation method says.

However, when Huo Yuhao actually tried to put it into practice, he found that the fusion process would directly consume his mental energy, leaving only the soul power of the corresponding elemental attribute.

"This should be due to the adaptability of the dimensional laws."

Tianmeng speculated about this.

"Judging from the experimental results, it should be possible to release those so-called magic things on Douluo Continent, but the energy used by the caster will be rigidly limited to the energy that is common in this plane." "If you try those two methods of cultivating internal and external spiritual power, the results of your cultivation will most likely be transformed into the form of soul power, either as an increase in soul power or as a strengthening of the physical body."

Overall, this rule is still beneficial to Huo Yuhao.

From the moment he was able to capture elemental energy, his total soul power increased by about half in just a few days. Although the growth rate is now rapidly declining, it is still much faster than when he relied solely on meditation to cultivate.

"I don't even know what level I'm at now."

Huo Yuhao murmured.

"Want to know?"

Wang Dong suddenly spoke up, then pulled out a blue crystal ball with a sly smile: "I do have a testing device here, but you'll have to exchange it for something if you want to use it."

Exchange it for something?

Huo Yuhao felt a headache coming on: "I only have a few fish left. Can I get you more tomorrow?"

"It's okay if we don't replenish it~"

Wang Dong smiled and tossed the crystal ball into his arms: "If you want it, I can give it to you directly. If you feel guilty, you can put this on your tab as well. In the future, when you are powerful enough, you can grant me one wish."

"Forget it then."

A dark line appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead.

This guy in front of me is really up to no good. He wants to make a huge demand for a wish over a mere crystal ball. That's way too greedy!
Without a doubt, he's bound to lose out in this kind of deal.

"Hey~ Just kidding. Come on, try it out and let me see just how much soul power you have."

Wang Dong leaned closer, unable to resist being curious about Huo Yuhao, this amazingly eccentric individual.

"All right…"

Huo Yuhao covered the crystal ball with one hand, and two words appeared in the center of the ball with a burst of light.

sixteen.

"Wow."

Wang Dong sighed numbly and snatched the crystal ball back.

Sure enough, a freak is a freak.

He had only just received his spirit ring when he enrolled as a freshman, yet in just over a month, his spirit power had increased by a full six levels. It was practically cheating; it was completely unreasonable.

Devastated...

"How can your cultivation speed be so fast?"

Wang Dong sighed, "You were already strong in both mental and physical strength, and now you're almost catching up to me in soul power level."

"You should really think about whether you've been diligently practicing your cultivation!"

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but complain, "Every time you come back to the dorm, you spend most of the time lying there sleeping. You don't appreciate the present at all. You're a bit too lazy."

"you!"

Wang Dong's entire face and head quickly turned red: "Who would replace sleep with meditation every day like you? You cultivation maniac! If you keep this inhuman lifestyle, you'll stunt your growth!"

Not growing tall?
Does it affect development?

Huo Yuhao sat up straight with a hint of disdain, and gestured with his hand above their heads: "But I haven't seen you grow much taller... I'm even a size bigger than you."

"that is because--"

Wang Dong was momentarily speechless with anger, but some words wouldn't come out. He could only swallow the rest of his sentence, glaring fiercely at him: "You just wait! One day I'll surpass—"

"It's done."

Huo Yuhao glanced at him and handed him a skewer of grilled fish that was oozing with oil.

"Okay, thank you!"

Wang Dong's face immediately lit up with a smile.

　To be honest, Wang Dong's cultivation speed is indeed bugged; it's noticeably slower than Dai Huabin's level 9 cultivation. In fact, without the sudden surge in his level after returning to the Haotian Sect, he might not even be able to catch up with Xiao Xiao.
