Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

Inside the Soul Spirit Shop, the Spirit Master at the counter stood up, his gaze falling on Tang Wulin and his son. "Hello, what kind of Soul Spirit would you like to purchase?"

Tang Ziran quickly replied, "Hello, I brought my son here to buy a Soul Spirit. His Martial Soul is already at level ten."

"Level 10, need the first spirit ring... Please wait."

After clicking a few times on the soul-guided screen in his hand, the spirit master handed it to Tang Ziran for inspection, saying at the same time:

"This is a list of all the white and yellow-grade soul spirits currently available for sale, suitable for a level 10 soul master to absorb. Please take a look."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin immediately stood on tiptoe out of curiosity and, together with his father Tang Ziran, began to examine the list of low-level soul spirits on the screen.

Tang Ziran is an expert in the field of life sciences, so she is very knowledgeable about soul beasts.

That's why Tang Ziran became more and more surprised as she looked, and after a while, she couldn't help but say:

"Wow... many of the spirits on these are very rare. Are they actually for sale?"

Upon hearing Tang Ziran's question, the spirit medium asked back with a puzzled expression:

"Uh, what's wrong with selling this?"

Tang Ziran quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I'm not a Soul Master so I don't know... I thought these more powerful Soul Spirits were not allowed to be sold to ordinary people."

Upon hearing this, the spirit medium was immediately delighted:

"I see. It seems you have quite a misunderstanding about our Spirit Pagoda... But since you're not a Soul Master, it's no wonder you don't know."

"Sorry, sorry..." Tang Ziran scratched her head awkwardly.

Seeing that Tang Ziran still had a question on his face, the spirit medium decided to give him a clear answer:

"Our Spirit Pagoda has internal regulations that the acquisition methods for any level of spirit must be open and transparent to the whole society, and it is strictly forbidden to create information gaps or set up hidden thresholds, so that ordinary spirit masters are completely unaware of the acquisition channels for excellent spirits and miss opportunities."

"Of course, things are valued for their scarcity, and the better the spirit, the more money is needed to buy it, but buying spirits is just one way to acquire them."

"If some ordinary soul masters have good cultivation talent, they can obtain corresponding financial assistance or even directly acquire soul spirits based on their cultivation potential as identified by the Spirit Pagoda."

Hearing this, Tang Ziran's mouth dropped open slightly in surprise: "This sounds like a... student loan?"

"That's right. Of course, they'll need to repay the loan once they grow up."

However, this kind of "soul loan" based on cultivation potential has no interest and a long repayment period, which is more than enough for a soul master with the corresponding potential to repay in the future.

"You should know that these are all strict rules set by the first Tower Master!"

Just like the first ten articles of the Federal Constitution, no one is allowed to change them—not even the current head of the Spirit Pagoda or the president of the Federal Parliament.

After listening to the Spirit Master's detailed explanation, Tang Wulin's eyes widened as he recalled how his parents had introduced him countless times at the dinner table to Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo who had been famous throughout the continent for ten thousand years.

In his parents' words, he was a legendary figure who founded the Spirit Pagoda, promoted the revolutionary development of soul guidance technology, and laid the foundation for the Sun-Moon Federation system. He was a great man whom all people living in this world needed to admire and be grateful to.

However, Tang Wulin, who was still young and naive, did not understand at the time what exactly made this great man, whom his parents spoke of, so great.

Huo Yuhao's countless glorious deeds from ten thousand years ago only made Tang Wulin feel that "it sounds amazing, but it seems too far away from a child like me."

Only now, through the words of this Spirit Transmission Master, did the young Tang Wulin begin to slowly understand the greatness of the first Tower Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

"I see..." Tang Ziran nodded repeatedly in sudden understanding. "Then what is the special channel that people of high status or wealth can use to buy soul spirits, as I've heard from others?"

"That's just a special channel that makes it easier for these people to buy and fuse souls at the Spirit Pagoda, and to give them personalized recommendations for the most suitable souls. It's essentially a high-end service."

At this point, the spirit medium shrugged helplessly, "After all, in this era, it's impossible for everyone to be equal in everything."

Alright, hurry up and choose the spirits you want to buy, there are other people in line behind you.

"Oh, okay... Wu Lin, you take a look too. Just tell Dad what kind of spirit you want. I can afford most of these."

"Dad is so great!"

Tang Wulin and Tang Ziran quickly swiped the Soul Guidance screen and started making selections together.

After some time, they spent 700,000 Federal Credits to purchase the "Hundred-Year Green Spirit Serpent," a yellow-level spirit compatible with Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Subsequently, the father and son were taken to the Soul Fusion Room by another Spirit Master, where Tang Wulin underwent a ritual to fuse his soul with that of the hundred-year-old Green Spirit Snake.

After finishing all this, Tang Ziran left with Tang Wulin, who had successfully fused with the soul spirit.

On his way to the main gate of the Spirit Pagoda, Tang Wulin was joyfully exchanging feelings with his newly merged soul.

Holding her son's hand, Tang Ziran looked up at the dome of the first-floor hall, gazing at the murals depicting the deeds of the first tower master, and murmured with deep emotion:

"Lingbing Douluo Huo Yuhao... he is truly an extraordinary and great man."

Upon hearing this name, Tang Wulin stopped playing with his newly fused little snake spirit and turned to look at Tang Ziran, then vigorously tapped his little head:

"Yes, Dad!"

At the same time, deep within Tang Wulin's mind, a golden, foreign consciousness trembled slightly before quickly returning to calm.

Keyword detection.

This consciousness was the divine sense that Tang San left on Tang Wulin before he was swept away by the spatial turbulence in the God Realm.

However, because this divine consciousness only contained memories related to the Golden Dragon King, it did not know that it was Tang San.

Even so, every time he heard the name "Huo Yuhao" and felt Tang Wulin's reverence for Huo Yuhao, he, who called himself "Old Tang," would feel inexplicably annoyed.

However, after learning a lot about Huo Yuhao through Tang Wulin's ears, Old Tang gradually got used to and suppressed this inexplicable emotion.

He felt that, based on the descriptions given by people around the world, Huo Yuhao was indeed an extraordinary and remarkable person.

So, Old Tang really couldn't understand why he was so annoyed with Huo Yuhao.

Sometimes, he would even have these thoughts for no apparent reason:

"We can't let Tang Wulin fall for Huo Yuhao, absolutely not... The only person he can admire and respect is the greatest figure in the history of Douluo Continent—the Sea God Tang San!"

Old Tang was also trying his best to suppress these messy and dirty thoughts.

After all, it's a child's freedom to like or admire whomever they want.
