Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 107 "I have Su Tong, she is truly a gift from heaven!"

After a long silence in the living room, Su Tong instinctively reached for the file, only to find that the entire file had abruptly stopped.

Similar to what Huo Yuhao said, the entire file consisted of interviews and surveys of the surrounding residents.

The information was fragmented and the clues were disorganized, clearly showing that the investigators had not put in any effort and were just going through the motions.

However, this was normal and did not surprise Huo Yuhao. The five missing people were all civilians with no power or influence.

The city lord's mansion only issued the relevant investigation mission to the Adventurers' Guild due to pressure from public opinion and coercion from the Heavenly Dragon Gate, and even offered a high reward of ten Ice Spirit Fruits.

The reason why Tianlongmen is so concerned about this case is that the location where the incident occurred is not far from Tianlongmen's jurisdiction. As the head of the sects in Longcheng, they certainly have to show their support.

They just need to show the residents in their territory that they are indeed in charge.

Huo Yuhao threw the empty milk tea cup into the trash can and then said:

"how?"

Su Tong shook her head, her icy blue eyes filled with confusion; she couldn't find any clue.

"No, there's no information at all."

Huo Yuhao smiled. In a fantasy world, only someone as naturally naive as Su Tong would think of finding information through files.

The most valuable part of this file is the description of the range of locations where the murderer could appear on the first page.

Everything else is nonsense, just to fool the public and the inspectors later.

In Xilu City, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had already discussed similar situations with Huo Yuhao when dealing with so many documents, demonstrating such cleverness.

As long as the case doesn't involve nobles, Soul Masters, or big merchants, those so-called files are practically as useless as toilet paper.

"You're still too naive."

"Alright, in the end, the way a Soul Master solves problems still comes down to Soul Power and Soul Skills."

"Tomorrow morning, you and I will go to the area where people have gone missing. I will take you to investigate."

Su Tong closed the file and pushed it back to Huo Yuhao, nodding at him.

"And tonight?"

Huo Yuhao put the file back into his storage soul tool and said to her with a smile:
"Go somewhere tonight to pick up some things."

"I figured no one would want those rare and precious materials anyway."

Do you have any extra thick black stockings? I need to put them over my head.

Su Tong looked at him warily, as if he were a pervert.

"Haha, just kidding."

“I have a mask.”

"We're companions after all, so I'll take you with me tonight so you can feel involved."

Su Tong wasn't stupid. Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, she guessed that he probably planned to rob something somewhere that night.

Seeing her resistant expression, Huo Yuhao tapped the table and said:

"Those rare and precious materials are currently unclaimed; the other party has no way of obtaining them or using them."

"Moreover, those rare and precious materials are very beneficial to your ultimate ice."

"Without rare and precious materials, the cultivation speed of an ultimate martial spirit is very slow."

Su Tong's eyes widened involuntarily, and she leaned back, her cool voice tinged with panic.

"You know about my martial spirit?"

Huo Yuhao looked at her and said:

"I know a few juniors who have mastered the ultimate martial spirit, so I am quite familiar with this type of martial spirit."

"It's puzzling that no one has discovered your ultimate ice yet."

"There is a significant difference between extreme attributes and ordinary attributes."

"I'm starting to wonder if everyone in Longcheng is blind."

Su Tong caught the key point in Huo Yuhao's words, her pupils contracted slightly, and she said to Huo Yuhao:

Do you know any other ultimate martial souls?

"Do you know how to cultivate the ultimate martial soul?"

The other person's cold voice was tinged with anxiety, indicating that the problem of slow cultivation speed of the ultimate martial soul had been troubling her for a long time.

Huo Yuhao quite admired this girl; her appearance alone made a strong first impression.

He dared to interfere in the case of a suspected evil spirit master simply because he had promised the victim's family, and the other party's character also suited Huo Yuhao's taste.

Most importantly, the opponent has a very good talent for cultivating mental power. He is a level 55 Soul King, and his mental power has reached the high level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

In this era where the spiritual power cultivation system was still in its infancy, the other party could be described as exceptionally gifted. Huo Yuhao was naturally willing to lend a helping hand to this hidden gem.

"Didn't you already find the way?"

"Your mental strength."

Su Tong was a little confused when she heard Huo Yuhao's words.

"Mental strength?"

Huo Yuhao clearly explained the true cultivation method of the ultimate martial soul.

"Mental strength is the key to cultivating the ultimate martial soul."

"Powerful mental strength can suppress the overwhelming ultimate soul power within the body, allowing it to achieve the same rate of improvement as normal soul power."

"Nowadays, spiritual power is divided into three stages: formless and intangible, tangible but intangible, and tangible and tangible."

"You are still in a state of formless and intangible spiritual power."

"Theoretically speaking, to cultivate ultimate soul power quickly, it needs to be tangible and substantial."

"That's almost impossible; the realm of formless existence is enough for you."

This wasn't something Huo Yuhao made up. In the original story, Huo Yuhao's power-ups were too great. He had two "power banks"—the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Emperor—so he never experienced the extraordinary cultivation speed of an ultimate martial soul.

Ma Xiaotao encountered a bug, and she skipped the most difficult level 70 of the Ultimate Martial Soul.

In the original story, the only one who experienced the most difficult period of the ultimate martial soul was the unfortunate Su Tong.

However, the original work states that once spiritual power reaches a tangible and substantial level, the drawbacks of the ultimate martial soul will disappear.

Therefore, it seems that mental strength is the key to cultivating the ultimate martial spirit!
Su Tong remained silent for a long time, a resolute glint flashing in her icy blue eyes.

She stood up, straightened her skirt, bowed to Huo Yuhao, and her long, smooth black hair fell to the ground, covered with a little dust.

"I would like you to accept me as your disciple."

Huo Yuhao's expression froze. Having stayed in this world for so long, he had never really considered taking on a disciple.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Nannan is only half a medical expert, but that only applies to her medical skills.

His brain was working at full speed, while Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Golden Tortoiseshell, and even Electrolux remained silent, quietly waiting for Huo Yuhao's reply.

When Huo Yuhao opened his eyes again, his martial soul had already been activated.

Lingmou's pupils resembled a burning bluish-white star.

"I'll only ask you one thing: why do you want to become stronger?"

Su Tong felt her breathing become rapid under the oppressive aura, as if a mountain was pressing down on her body.

It was only at this moment that she truly realized just how strong Huo Yuhao was!

She managed to utter the words with difficulty.

"I don't want to disappear silently into the snow like my parents. No one remembers that Dragon City once had two legendary Soul Douluos, so I want to leave something behind in this world!"

"Anything is fine, I want the world to remember me!"

“Yuhao, she wasn’t lying.”

“The big bug is right, and my mental energy has not detected any signs of lying.”

Huo Yuhao deactivated his martial soul, and his aura, as deep and majestic as a mountain, vanished from his surroundings, as if nothing had ever happened.

Just as Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux said, the girl was not lying. Huo Yuhao got up and went to her.

A large hand appeared in Su Tong's field of vision. Huo Yuhao pulled her up with a smile on his face.

"I don't like kneeling and bowing here."

"Since you're willing to learn from me, I can teach you."

"But you must remember, what I hate most in my life are those self-righteous dogs and donkeys, and those lowly, disgusting evil spirit masters."

"You should be like me, killing them one by one."

"If one day you become one of them, I will personally make you experience the most extreme pain in the world!"

Su Tong nodded vigorously and said to Huo Yuhao:

"Yes, teacher! I will remember these words."

Huo Yuhao said to her, "Okay, in that case, come with me to the Earth Dragon Gate tonight to get some things."

Su Tong tilted her head, her icy blue eyes looking intently at Huo Yuhao as she said:

"Teacher, should we prepare black stockings?"

　A lot of people have left the factory; the security guards ran away, and the warehouse manager slipped away. They've probably all gone to school. During the meeting, the supervisor's face was almost a liverish color with anger; he was yelling at HR, and things were getting tense.
