Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 80 Elemental Formation Array

After leaving Shrek Academy, Poison Immortal flew at an extremely fast speed, carrying Huo Yuhao rapidly towards the Body Sect.

Most of the titled Douluo belonging to the Body Sect turned around midway and flew towards Heaven Dou City, instead of continuing to follow.

Only Jin Peng, the Golden Body Douluo whose cultivation was second only to Du Busi in the Body Sect, returned to the Body Sect with Du Busi and Huo Yuhao.

"I've really gone all out this time. I hope you can give me some surprises." After arriving at the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao was thrown down from mid-air by the poison-free man.

After passing through the snow-capped mountain passes outside the Body Sect and the valley where most of the Body Sect members lived, Du Busi brought Huo Yuhao to the martial arts arena located in his residence. Usually, apart from him and his disciple Long Aotian, there were hardly any other people there.

As the Grand Elder of the Body Sect, Golden Body Douluo Jinpeng went to handle the accumulated affairs within the sect. After all, Sect Master Du Busi was responsible for supporting the sect with strength and could not be distracted by cultivation, so most of the affairs needed to be handled by him, the Grand Elder.

Meanwhile, Du Bu Si's eldest disciple, who was also Long Aotian, the original young sect leader of the Body Sect, was practicing and honing his skills as usual when he saw his master throw a human-shaped black shadow down from the sky.

After the soul power that Poison Undying had deployed to protect Huo Yuhao during flight was dispelled, Huo Yuhao landed with a flash of his third soul ring, and a pair of wings appeared behind him, gently flapping and allowing him to land smoothly on the ground.

"Oh? A ten-thousand-year soul ring, but this soul skill is quite interesting." Poison Immortal raised an eyebrow. Even his eldest disciple, Long Aotian, only had a third soul ring that was close to ten thousand years old. However, this was also an advantage of spirit attribute soul masters.

"The first thing I want to tell you when you come to the Body Sect is..."

"Never use your soul skills lightly, because every time you use a soul skill, your opponent will become familiar with it."

"Only by using a soul skill to deliver the final blow at the crucial moment can one unleash their full potential!"

Poison Undying also landed on the ground. Although he did not have a martial soul attached to him and there was no soul power fluctuation on his body, his aura was enough to suppress ordinary low-level soul masters so much that they could not move.

"Now, let me see your second awakening of your martial soul. Don't disappoint me!" Du Busi looked at Huo Yuhao with expectant eyes, though the chances were slim.

But perhaps, Huo Yuhao's second awakening of his martial soul is truly the kind of innate gold-level second awakening that has never appeared except in the first generation of the original Douluo?

Although using the second awakening ability of the main body martial soul will bring great overdraft and consumption, for the Body Sect, which has been studying this path for a long time, the consumption of restoring a Soul Master is naturally different from that of restoring a Title Douluo.

How can one freely master the abilities gained after the second awakening without actually using them?

Therefore, for low- to mid-level Body Spirit Soul Masters, the Body Sect has long developed a highly effective method and process that allows them to control their own Soul Spirit's secondary awakening ability and recover quickly.

Upon hearing Du Bu Si's words, Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, and at the same time, the Eye of Truth, which had been tightly closed between his brows, opened again.

A golden light appeared behind Huo Yuhao. Being stared at by that huge eye, even Du Busi felt as if his entire body was being seen through.

Long Aotian, who was watching the battle from a short distance away, was even more shocked, because he was a Silver-level Second Awakening, and no one knew better than him just how big the gap was between Gold and Silver levels.

Because these two are fundamentally different, rather than simply a difference in the boost a Soul Master receives.

If we say that the Iron, Bronze, and Silver grades can all allow the main body's martial soul to undergo an evolution, greatly enhancing the soul master's potential.

So the gold level is a transformation, a transformation of the essence of the martial soul. Even if it does not trigger the ability of secondary awakening, as the soul master's cultivation improves, the martial soul will completely transform into the level of secondary awakening.

This is the difference between semi-permanent and permanent, and it's what his master, Du Bu Si, told him: the sooner one achieves a Gold-level second awakening, the better it is for the original spirit master.

According to sect records, if a Soul Master completes a Gold-level awakening at the Title Douluo stage, their potential can at least reach Super Douluo level. However, if they can complete a Gold-level awakening earlier, it can even pave the way to becoming a Limit Douluo.

"This is really strange, but let me see what kind of abilities your strange martial soul possesses." Although Poison Undying was delighted, he also became unusually serious.

Although Huo Yuhao's soul power is not high now, his second awakening at the gold level already puts him at the same level as his martial soul.

His Gold-level Awakening possesses a natal poison, so what special abilities does Huo Yuhao's Gold-level Awakening possess?

As golden light and shadow unfolded behind Huo Yuhao, his mental power surged, followed by countless mental energies spreading outwards. Invisible 'hands,' large and small, grasped the free-floating elemental particles in the environment.

Elemental particles contain the will of the elemental spirits in nature, although most of them only possess instincts.

However, at this moment, with the cover of the Eye of Truth's spiritual touch, in an instant, the will of these elemental spirits was decomposed and recombined by Huo Yuhao, turning these elemental powers into his own and making them fit him perfectly.

At the same time, with the blessing of the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao himself reached the level of tangible but intangible spiritual power, but the quantity of spiritual power was insufficient, and suddenly increased threefold, which perfectly matched his current level of spiritual power.

Immediately following, under the guidance and coordination of the amplified spiritual and soul power, 120 different elemental arrays instantly formed around Poison Undying. Then, a series of different elemental attacks, such as light bullets, shadows, water cannons, ground spikes, fireballs, and wind blades, densely bombarded Poison Undying.

Under the guidance of spiritual power and the structural control of soul power, as long as the elemental energy in the surrounding environment cooperates, these pre-set soul power circuit structures will not be dismantled, because all the consumption is voluntarily borne by the free elemental energy.

In reality, the damage caused by each attack to the soul power circuit composed of mental and spiritual power is minimal.

Although Huo Yuhao's attacks were not particularly strong, mostly possessing the power of a hundred-year-old soul skill, their strength lay in their sheer number and inexhaustible power. Furthermore, due to their different attributes, Du Busi was unable to discern their source for a time.

"Strange, so many attribute abilities, and using so many soul skills at the same time, it doesn't make sense. Is it an illusion?"

"However, my soul power is being consumed. Although the consumption isn't large, it seems these attacks are real. How did you manage that, kid? Aren't you a mental attribute user?"

"Or is it that your Gold-level second awakening ability allows you to control other elements?"

Du Busi did not make a move, but stood still, relying on his protective soul power to withstand the attack, waiting for Huo Yuhao's next offensive.

At the same time, he sensed the changes around him through his level 98 Super Douluo mental power.

"Harmony between man and nature, no, it seems different. It should be an extremely strong control. It seems that this should be part of your second awakening ability at the gold level of your martial soul."

The formation of 120 soul power circuits, even though most of them were supported by the free elemental energy in the environment, still consumed one-third of Huo Yuhao's mental and soul power.

However, Huo Yuhao then injected more soul power, using these 120 soul power circuits as a base point to reconnect them, forming an even larger soul power circuit structure.

At the same time, through this soul power circulation structure itself, Du Busi was placed inside. Within it, all elemental particles were drained, and even a Title Douluo could not compete with Huo Yuhao for control of the energy within.

"Elemental array, seal!"

"Is this a barrier?" Poison Undying was quite surprised. Normally, with the amplification of a gold-level martial soul, a soul master's strength could be increased to three times its original level, which is roughly equivalent to the next level of soul master cultivation.

However, judging from Huo Yuhao's strength, even if a Soul Master is enhanced, he is only a Soul Sect Master. Therefore, the strength of the strange barrier that Huo Yuhao constructed seems to be a bit too high.

However, with Du Busi taking a step forward and his soul power slightly shifting, he directly shattered the barrier composed of one hundred and twenty nodes of first-level soul power loops.

"Soul King level, not bad, and the effect and lethality are satisfactory. What surprises me even more is that you were able to develop so many methods on your own. When you have a Soul Saint level Martial Soul True Body, your abilities should undergo a qualitative change."

Poison Undying nodded slightly. Huo Yuhao's energy consumption was now just over halfway through: "Alright, put away your martial spirit and take half a pill to recover."

After saying that, he tossed Huo Yuhao a bottle of pills. Huo Yuhao first put away his martial spirit, then opened the porcelain bottle. Inside were ten pitch-black pills, but each one was surrounded by a rich medicinal fragrance, clearly not an ordinary product.

Following the instructions of Du Bu Si, Huo Yuhao used his soul power to cut open the pill and then swallowed half of it. Through his Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao could see that these pills were made from highly nourishing ingredients.

Although it only involves refining and mixing, it can maximize the medicinal properties in a certain direction.

After taking it, Huo Yuhao's depleted mental and soul power began to recover rapidly.

"Although prolonged use of Gold-level Awakening will damage your vitality, you are not at that stage yet. This bottle of pills is enough for you to experience it more than ten times in the future. Mastering and developing the ability of Gold-level Awakening as soon as possible will greatly benefit your future."

"Do not use the Gold-level Awakening ability again until you are fully recovered. Go to the Scripture Pavilion more often and learn about the experience and application methods left by our predecessors in the Body Sect."

Then Du Busi said in a deep voice, "Come, Aotian, meet your junior brother. He will be my last disciple from now on. However, you will be in charge of him for the time being. I have to go out for about ten days."

"The formal apprenticeship will take place after I return. In the meantime, you should train your junior brother and teach him some of our sect's basic skills and cultivation methods."

Long Aotian, who had been watching from the sidelines, walked over. This young sect master of the Body Sect, although only fifteen years old, already possessed the cultivation level of a Soul Emperor, and was a full two meters tall with broad shoulders and a wide back.

Although not particularly handsome, he was extremely attractive, possessing a broad back and thick waist, delicate features, long reddish-brown hair that hung down naturally, and fair skin with a crystal-clear luster like white jade, exuding a hidden aura.

Long Aotian smiled wickedly: "My name is Long Aotian, junior brother. You can call me senior brother from now on."

Although Huo Yuhao wanted to criticize the image of the arrogant protagonist, he also knew that it might just be the author's quirky humor. That's why the arrogant protagonist was portrayed this way in the original work.

However, given that he was able to die on the battlefield for the Body Sect and his fiancée in the original work, coupled with the mental waveform of Long Aotian seen by the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao could also judge that the other party should be a rather straightforward person.

"Yuhao greets Senior Brother."

Du Bu Si nodded: "Alright, then Yu Hao is in your hands. I'm off now."

Without waiting for Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian's response, Du Busi swiftly took to the air and flew away.

However, as he left, Du Busi maintained a calm and collected demeanor on the surface, but inwardly he was overjoyed: "Gold-level second awakening, hahaha, it really is a gold-level second awakening! My Body Sect has really struck it rich this time!"

Moreover, right after Huo Yuhao displayed his Gold-level Second Awakening, he felt the pulse of the Body Sect's Inheritance Seed within him, which means that Huo Yuhao is now capable of inheriting the Body Sect's Inheritance Seed.

Now, even when talking about the resources given to Shrek Academy, Du Busi doesn't feel so bad anymore.

Anyway, they're not priceless resources like the soul bones of 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Most of them are just renewable resources, and some are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the main body's martial soul. At most, they can only help Shrek Academy train a few more Soul Saints.

Although it still hurts, it's nothing compared to the fact that it brought Huo Yuhao, a second awakening of a congenital gold-level martial soul, who is almost a certainty to become the successor of the Limit Douluo.

Moreover, even if that old man Mu En is doing this for Shrek Academy, so what if he lowers his standards and schemes? Unless Shrek Academy can produce a Sea God Pavilion Master who is comparable to a Gold-level, second-awakening Limit Douluo.

Otherwise, it is foreseeable that the Body Sect, under Huo Yuhao's leadership, will replace Shrek Academy's position within a hundred years.

However, another problem also weighed on Du Busi's mind: 'The Sun Moon Empire, soul tools, evil soul masters—I should check these things out first, and it's also a good opportunity to go to the Demon Forest.'
