Douluo's Contract God King Huo Yuhao

Chapter 96 Soul Beasts Don't Cry

Ji Juechen slowly opened his eyes, staring blankly at Jing Ziyan opposite him.

His lips, which hadn't had a drop of water for a long time, trembled slightly. When he opened his mouth, his lips cracked, and a few drops of blood seeped out.

Ji Juechen stood up somewhat absentmindedly and walked towards Jing Ziyan, but due to his weakness, his body trembled slightly.

Looking somewhat haggard, Jing Ziyan quickly got up, stepped forward to support him, placed her left hand on his shoulder, gently stroked his back with her right hand, and hugged him in her arms.

"Juechen, what do you want to say? Don't rush, speak slowly."

Jing Ziyan looked at his trembling lips and quickly comforted him, feeling a little strange about the way he looked at her.

"Ziyan, I'm so glad you're alright."

Ji Juechen fainted after finishing his sentence; the final sword strike had consumed too much of his mental energy.

Although the injuries sustained during deep meditation did not return, the depletion of mental energy was real.

Jing Ziyan quickly picked up the unconscious Ji Juechen and, relying on the powerful physical qualities of a Soul Master, carried him to a bright and spacious room in a few steps.

This is the room Huo Yuhao rented for them before he left. It contains a series of items to help Ji Juechen recover.

Jing Ziyan laid him flat on the bed and opened the only cabinet in the room, which contained several medicines and a list.

She began to retrieve the medications according to the list.

"A green chip is rinsed with water, then this blue pill, and finally the Soul Guidance Recovery Bed is activated."

Jing Ziyan gently pried open Ji Juechen's mouth and used an exquisite porcelain spoon to spoon water into his body, one spoonful at a time.

The clear green water moistened Ji Juechen's lips, and then a sense of life emanated from within.

Ji Juechen's body, which had been depleted due to prolonged lack of food, began to slowly repair itself, while the overflowing life energy began to nourish his spiritual sea.

The moment the sword was unleashed, Ji Juechen's spiritual sea simultaneously began to expand rapidly, growing to more than three or four times its original size.

The previously weak parts, which had expanded too quickly, were quickly stabilized by the vitality.

Ji Juechen's spiritual power has officially broken through to the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, making him one of the top people in the entire Douluo Continent.

However, the improvement in the laws was actually more than that; it was just that Ji Juechen's physical strength limited the subsequent growth, and in the end, he could only expand to this extent for the time being.

Ji Juechen's situation is normal; before his physical strength reaches level 90, he cannot withstand the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm.

The reason why Huo Yuhao could always have his mental strength far exceed his physical strength was actually due to the partial isolation ability of the Divine Abyss.

Although a normal Soul Master's body, Soul Power, and Spiritual Power are distinct, they are largely interconnected.

The separation only applies to the parts outside the union of the two sets.

However, the three parts within Huo Yuhao's body were divided into three non-overlapping sets, which is why such an extremely unbalanced development occurred.

After Jing Ziyan opened the Soul Guidance Recovery Bed, a barrier enveloped Ji Juechen's body, and she, who was originally leaning against him, was gently bounced away.

Several wisps of green mist emanated from beneath the soul-guiding bed, and soon the barrier was filled with green smoke.

Ji Juechen's body and mind began to relax. His tightly furrowed brows began to relax, and his clenched fists and tense arms slowly loosened.

Just as he relaxed, a golden sword-shaped pattern appeared on his forehead, and his sharp aura reappeared.

Ji Juechen seemed to have sensed something as well, and made a grasping motion with his right hand, gently raising it as if to touch his forehead.

However, this movement aggravated his fatigue, and his body instinctively slammed his arm onto the bed again.

Jing Ziyan was taken aback when she saw the lines on his forehead, but she wasn't too worried when she remembered Huo Yuhao's instructions.

Having not dressed up properly for a long time, she looked a little disheveled, and her clothes were somewhat dirty. She ran her hands through her tangled hair and turned to walk towards the bathroom in the room.

The sound of the door locking came from behind, followed by the sound of running water. As Jing Ziyan rinsed herself off, she thought about the scene that had just happened.

She felt that Ji Juechen had changed in some way, especially his attitude towards her, which now carried a hint of ambiguity.

Jing Ziyan clenched her fist and cheered herself on, "If this keeps up, I'll be able to clarify my relationship with Ji Juechen soon. Keep it up!"

Ji Juechen on the bed finally transitioned from unconsciousness to sleep, falling into a deep slumber with a faint smile on his lips.

Inside the Demon Forest, Huo Yuhao kicked a thousand-year-old soul beast away and then rubbed his legs with both hands, looking somewhat tired.

The canine spirit beast in front was kicked more than ten meters away, and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.

He then got up, glared at Huo Yuhao hatefully, let out a few painful howls, and ran into the forest.

Seeing that the dog was being so disrespectful, Huo Yuhao caught up with it in two steps, grabbed the soul beast by the collar, and pulled it up.

"Kid, you're not convinced, are you? Tell me, are you not convinced?"

Huo Yuhao slapped the soul beast twice across the face.

After those two slaps, the canine spirit beast's eyes instantly cleared, and a mournful "woof" came out, with tears welling up in its eyes if you looked closely.

"It's common knowledge that soul beasts don't cry, so you're still not convinced, are you?"

After saying that, Huo Yuhao slapped it a few more times, and two lines of tears streamed down the canine soul beast's eyes.

Ye Guyi, who was standing to the side, looked at the somewhat aggrieved soul beast and asked cautiously, "Tower Master, where did you learn that soul beasts can't shed tears?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment after hearing this and began to recall the knowledge he had learned in school. But wait, he had never attended any classes.

"Don't be fooled by spirit beasts. In all these years of fighting spirit beasts, have you ever seen a spirit beast cry?"

"But it really looks like it's crying, and its expression is a bit aggrieved."

Huo Yuhao felt sorry for the soul beast when he saw Ye Guyi, so he decided to correct her behavior and immediately lifted the soul beast up high.

"Classmate Ye Guyi, soul beasts don't have complex emotions like feeling wronged. Their intelligence is very low. What you see is all an act, just to make you feel sorry for them."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao tugged hard on the soul beast's ear, leaned close and patted its head before whispering, "If you want me to let you go, nod your head. If you want another beating, don't move your head."

After finishing speaking, Huo Yuhao threw the canine soul beast to the ground and looked at Ye Guyi, who was humbly seeking advice behind him, preparing to give her a vivid and engaging theoretical lesson.
