Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 216 Regret of the Martial Soul System
"wrong."

Gong Changlong seemed to have thought of something again. He continued to stare at Huo Yuhao, his eyes so sharp that they seemed to see right through him.

"You must have a soul bone, right? Otherwise, even with the Titan Snow Demon Martial Soul, with your cultivation as a Great Soul Master, you would never have been able to withstand my palm strike just now."

Although he was just testing the waters casually and didn't even use a tenth of his strength, it was still something that a mere second-ring Soul Master couldn't withstand.

Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, and he could only grit his teeth and continue to answer honestly:

"Yes... I obtained a piece of torso bone by chance."

boom.

Du Weilen felt his head buzz, and he felt so frustrated he almost vomited blood.

It possesses two martial souls, one of extreme ice, and also comes with a torso bone of unknown quality.

He knew perfectly well how Dean Yan Shaozhe had gone to great lengths over the years to find the owner of the ultimate ice in order to suppress the evil fire of his prized disciple, Ma Xiaotao.

And what happened? They actually turned away a living, breathing Ice Soul Master, and didn't even grant him a formal core disciple status, watching helplessly as he became a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department.

Thankfully... thankfully, Yin Chen appeared.

Du Weiren kept reassuring himself.

Fortunately, there was Yin Chen, an even more monstrous talent. He also possessed the ultimate ice, but of a higher quality, and his cultivation had reached the Soul Master realm.

With Yin Chen, such a peerless gem, as a precedent, Huo Yuhao, though also incredibly precious, seems... no longer so indispensable.

Du Weiren tried hard to convince himself.

Compared to Huo Yuhao, Yin Chen has stronger talent and greater potential.

It wasn't just because Yin Chen's cultivation was higher, but also because Huo Yuhao's first spirit ring was always a dazzling white ten-year spirit ring.

That's right, for a Soul Master, the foundation is the most important thing for their future.

Due to Gong Changlong's sudden intervention and the series of unexpected events caused by Huo Yuhao, the highly anticipated second-year promotion assessment had to be hastily suspended.

Those disciples who haven't yet taken the assessment should thank Huo Yuhao for giving them more time to prepare.

Everything that happened during this assessment spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of Shrek Academy's outer courtyard within just half a day.

The earth-shattering bet between Huo Yuhao and Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin, son of the Duke of Baihu, knelt down in public and admitted to being a good-for-nothing.

Huo Yuhao's two "100,000-year soul rings" shocked the entire audience.

Of course, the students in the Foreign Languages ​​Department are not stupid.

After the initial shock, upon calming down and thinking carefully, almost everyone guessed that the two 100,000-year soul rings were most likely some kind of special soul skill that could simulate aura.

After all, it is too illogical and beyond the realm of imagination for a great soul master to possess two 100,000-year soul rings.

However, the overwhelming and terrifying pressure from the ferocious beast was so real and shocking that they didn't think about it in that way for a moment.

However, when this news, along with the final information that Huo Yuhao had revealed his second martial soul, Titan Snow Demon, possessing the ultimate ice attribute, was reported by Du Weilun to Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, the reaction of the Bright Phoenix Douluo was far more intense than anyone had imagined.

Office of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department.

"Snapped."

Yan Shaozhe slammed his palm on his desk, which was made of thousand-year-old ironwood, and the hard surface was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

His refined face was now filled with astonishment, shock, and a sense of regret.

"Twin Martial Souls... Ultimate Ice... Du Weiren, tell me, I didn't hear that wrong, did I?"

"Dean, it's absolutely true. Elder Gong personally tested it; there's no doubt about it."

Du Weilun stood to the side, head bowed, cold sweat pouring down his face. Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath and paced back and forth in the office, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

He never imagined that he could misjudge someone's abilities.

At the time, he only glanced at Huo Yuhao's information and immediately categorized his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, which had ten-year soul rings, as "worth no cultivation".

Little did he expect that this stubborn stone he had casually discarded would contain such an amazing jade inside.

"Thank goodness... thank goodness we have Yin Chen."

Yan Shaozhe muttered to himself, which almost became a shared psychological comfort for him and Du Weilun.

With Yin Chen around, Huo Yuhao's importance has indeed decreased considerably.

He no longer harbored the almost obsessive desire for the ultimate ice soul master as he had before.

but.

Yan Shaozhe suddenly stopped, a sly glint in his eyes.

"However, such a genius should not be given to the Soul Guidance Department so easily; that would be a complete waste."

A resolute glint flashed in Yan Shaozhe's eyes. He looked at Du Weilin and gave the order:

"Du Weilun, go find Huo Yuhao right now, on my behalf and on behalf of the Spirit System, express our apologies to him, and officially grant him the status of a core disciple of the Spirit System."

Yin Chen had no interest in the competition between the Martial Soul System and the Soul Guidance System for Huo Yuhao.

He merely looked with interest at Huo Yuhao, who had come to his door.

He knew that Huo Yuhao's trip was by no means a simple greeting.

Huo Yuhao was indeed feeling a chill run down his spine.

In his mental sea, the urging voice of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was almost making his head explode.

But he couldn't think of a suitable reason to test Yin Chen.

Finally, he steeled himself and found Yin Chen, scratching his head awkwardly, and asked in an almost stuttering tone:

"Class...class monitor, um...I, I'm just...just a little curious, since you're also the possessor of Extreme Ice, so...so I want to know, what exactly is your second martial soul?"

He could only use curiosity as an excuse.

After he finished speaking, he didn't even dare to look Yin Chen in the eye, and he began to regret his recklessness.

However, to his surprise, Yin Chen did not show any displeasure.

"Oh? This?"

Yin Chen chuckled softly, a hint of amusement in his smile.

"It's alright to tell you, my second martial soul is the Ice Jade Scorpion."

Ice Jade Scorpion.

A simple answer.

"Ice...Ice Jade Scorpion".

Upon hearing the name, Huo Yuhao was taken aback for a moment, then immediately forced a laugh, a stiff smile appearing on his face.

"So it's the Ice Jade Scorpion, no wonder... no wonder the class monitor's aura is so strong, ha... haha..."

He verbally agreed, but his mind was in turmoil.

He dared not ask another question, fearing that if he stayed even a second longer, he would be forced to reveal his true colors by the almost insane guy in the sea of ​​consciousness.
