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

Chapter 360 Maidemus: "Bai'er, you (eloquent Douluo dialogue)"

What does it feel like to cross death? Different people may have different answers. Those who have had near-death experiences may say that crossing death is a fantastical journey where you can see many bizarre and wonderful things.

Medemus was trying to say that it was actually a sign of bodily dysfunction, where the blood oxygen supply was insufficient, causing the still-living brain to produce a self-protective mechanism, commonly known as hallucination.

The real feeling of crossing death is actually a slight pain in the face. Following the pull of the origin of the soul, Medemos's soul returned precisely to his still vibrant body in the Cataclysmic Mountain Range.

For some reason, he felt a burning pain in his face. The return of his soul gave his body's various functions a backbone, and his terrifying self-healing ability ran wildly, gradually bringing his body back to its peak condition.

As the tinnitus gradually subsided, Medemos struggled to open his eyes, wanting to see what was going on.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that Bai Er's minted coins occupied his entire field of vision. The guy's hand was raised high, and his palm was still a little engorged and red.

The mystery of why my face was burning so badly has now been solved.

Fortunately, the idiot didn't go so far as to give himself CPR, which relieved Medemos.

Soon, Bai E's actions caused a "well" shape to appear on Medemos's forehead. This idiot pressed his hands on his chest and pressed down suddenly. His movements were extremely unorthodox. This was not saving people at all, but trying to kill them!
That bastard didn't treat him like a human being at all!

This is not really Bai E's fault. Bai E is very clear about the standard procedures for first aid, and he has always been very serious about learning this knowledge.

However, for a beast like Medemus whose physical abilities are so strong that they seem inhuman, normal first aid methods are completely ineffective; we have to resort to drastic measures!

He believed his partner could withstand such intense first aid, after all, they shared a passionate bond!

"Hey buddy! Wake up!"

"I will never change my name on your homework again!"

"You were punished by Teacher Wang Yan to copy the textbook three times because of this."

"When you couldn't find your books for the last midterm exam, it was actually me who did it. I just couldn't stand seeing you score higher than me."

"I didn't expect you to still be number one in the grade."

"The last time your protein powder tasted wrong, it was because it was laundry detergent. I couldn't find the container when I was washing clothes, and I forgot to pour it out afterwards!"
"You've made things difficult for me, even going so far as to cause trouble for the protein powder company."

"In the antifreeze contest a few days ago, before the competition, I secretly added Arctic mint leaves to your bathtub, which caused you to almost freeze into an ice cube during the competition."

"Friend! I repent!"

Medemos was so angry that his face turned red. The boy's blush spoke louder than any words. He hadn't believed it before, but now he did. People really do laugh when they're extremely angry.

He reached out and grabbed Bai E's hand tightly, which was placed on his chest. Bai E's hand was as hard as steel, and his physical strength was much stronger than before.

After successfully defeating the "past" in the revival competition, the increase in soul strength was fed back to the body. According to the soul science knowledge given by Dai Ying, this should be called the balance between spirit and body.

In other words, the soul and body of a normal living being are always in a symmetrical state. When the strength of the soul exceeds that of the body, the strength of the soul will gradually weaken, and the strength of the body will increase to reach a new balance, and vice versa.

However, when the soul becomes too strong, the body cannot maintain balance with the soul, which will cause the balance to be broken and trigger the physical body to disintegrate.

At that moment, Bai E felt as if his palm was firmly clamped by a vise, and immediately exclaimed with delight:
"Madmus, you're alright!"

Medemos stared intently at the character "井" (well), punched Bai Er hard in the chest, then struggled to his feet and said:

"Something's wrong!"

"I knew you were the one who did those things!"

"Bastard!"

"I finally caught you! Just you wait, I'll settle the score with you later!"

"Before that, tell me what happened? Where is the enemy?"

Medemus stood up and assessed his physical condition. He felt a slight burning pain in his abdomen, which confirmed his initial suspicion in the Underworld: he had been ambushed during the battle.

The person who was able to launch a sneak attack on him silently and cause such serious injuries must be a force to be reckoned with.

He once again channeled his martial spirit, donning golden-red armor that completed his armor, and a majestic golden lion head appeared on his left shoulder.

A sharp edge and the aura of the golden beast king enveloped the surrounding air, pressing the surrounding blue silver grass firmly to the ground.

Fortunately, there were no more soul beasts deep in the Disaster Mountain Range; they had all been eaten by the golden-haired lion-mastiff back then, so it didn't cause too much of a commotion. Bai E also became serious, his azure eyes revealing the fierceness and sharpness of a warrior, and began to describe in detail what he had sensed before Madmos fell into a coma.

"At that time, I was fighting against that ten-thousand-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine."

Suddenly, I heard a whooshing sound from behind, and a blue shadow flashed by. Before I could even see what happened, you were already down.

"After that blue shadow appeared, it was a very strange bird-like soul beast."

Medemos's golden eyes narrowed, and he said:

"Bird-like spirit beasts?"

"Can you identify the species? And what about those two soul beasts?"

Why didn't they gang up on you?

Bai E shook his head and pointed to the opposite rock wall, saying:
"I don't know what kind it is. Neither textbooks nor the encyclopedia of soul beasts treasured in the Sea God Pavilion contain any record of this kind of soul beast."

Its appearance is strange, and its speed is incredibly fast; it's at least a super soul beast, probably a mutated one.

"As for why they didn't surround and attack me, you'll know when you see it over there."

"After you fell, all three soul beasts, including the blue bird, stopped on the cliff and ceased their movements."

It's like they're deliberately giving us time to recover.

Medemos looked closely in the direction Bai E was pointing, and sure enough, the three-headed soul beast stood quietly on the cliff in front of him, without moving.

If it weren't for the undisguised soul power and spiritual power emanating from them, one might mistake them for three lifelike statues.

Two of them, Bai'er and Medemos, were quite familiar with each other, having just fought each other.

The Thunderous Hell Vine, a super spirit beast of the thunder attribute, has been recorded in textbooks and is the best spirit beast that thunder attribute spirit masters dream of.

Currently, all the lightning-attribute soul masters across the continent are eager to contract a Thunderous Hell Vine soul spirit. If they continue to contract with it, perhaps after several generations, the legendary ultimate lightning will appear in their family.

Another terrifying soul beast, resembling a giant lion with a black dog's face, is also recorded in the Soul Beast Encyclopedia produced by Xilu City: the Golden-haired Lion Mastiff, the progenitor of canine soul beasts.

The golden-haired lion mastiff is not afraid of any bloodline threat because it is of ancestral bloodline. In the fantasy world, the older, more mysterious, and more powerful a creature is.

The term "progenitor" carries immense weight in the Douluo Continent.

The other bird-like spirit beast that ambushed Medemos left the two completely baffled.

Even Medemos had no recollection of this kind of soul beast.

This soul beast was not large, with a wingspan estimated to be only one meter. It was dark blue all over, and its body was covered with scales instead of feathers. It also had a pair of fleshy wings under its two wings.

Behind this bird-like spirit beast are nine silver spots, which together resemble a hideous ghost face.

Even without moving, just a glance from afar is enough to feel the sharpness of this soul beast.

This sharpness was familiar to both Medemos and Bai'er, because Tibo would also have a similar aura when using the Hundred Realms Gate to cut down enemies.

If my perception is correct, the bird-like soul beast before me should have a spatial attribute.

This strange blue bird is called the Blue Demon Bird, or more specifically, the Silver-Patterned Space Blue Demon Bird. It also has a branch of the same species—the Gold-Patterned Time Blue Demon Bird.

It is a soul beast created by Huo Yuhao through understanding and imagination by utilizing the bloodlines of the Emerald Demon Bird and the Ice Phoenix to revert to their ancestral forms.

This is not just wishful thinking, because such spirit beasts have indeed existed.

In Dai Ying's timeline, Lan Xuanyu also killed one. The Blue Demon Bird was on the same level as the Golden Lion Mastiff in terms of bloodline, belonging to the ancestral bloodline.

The Blue Demon Bird is the progenitor of the Phoenix lineage. Once the gold and silver markings appear simultaneously, it can breed a pure-blooded Phoenix, which has the potential to become a fully-fledged Phoenix God, capable of fighting against the Dragon God.

During the Dragon God Realm era, the Phoenix God was slain by the Dragon God, and the Blue Demon Bird reappeared, only to be completely wiped out by the Dragon God, eliminating any possibility of the Phoenix God's resurrection.
