Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 63 Metal Fingers (15 words per day)

Huo Yuhao knew very little about soul bones, but fortunately, this thing was not rare to Qian Daoliu, which helped Huo Yuhao to learn about them.

According to Qian Daoliu, soul bones are divided into two main categories. Conventional soul bones can be divided into six types: left leg bone, right leg bone, left arm bone, right arm bone, skull, and torso bone. In addition, there are external soul bones, which are more valuable. External soul bones include, but are not limited to, wings, tails, external claws, and other strange and unusual types.

Regardless of the different types of soul bones, a soul bone will at least give the user an additional soul skill, or soul bone skill. This is why Huo Yuhao suspected that the other party possessed a soul bone.

After finishing her grilled fish, the woman in red looked at Huo Yuhao seriously and said, word by word, "Your grilled fish is delicious. It tastes great, and you have a serious attitude about it. Let me see your martial spirit."

Huo Yuhao was not surprised by the strange request the woman in red made right after finishing her meal.

During the year he opened the shop, he met several senior students from the inner academy. Some of them seemed to be the type whose minds were full of cultivation, and their speech was somewhat incoherent. They were clearly the type who were not good at socializing.

"Senior, my martial soul is my eyes, and I've always been showing them to you."

Huo Yuhao smiled and blinked his golden eyes.

For some reason, the woman in red, who originally wanted Huo Yuhao to further release his spirit rings to showcase the uniqueness of his martial soul, felt somewhat powerless when she met Huo Yuhao's golden eyes. The evil fire that had been rising after a few days of rest had withered again.

"Yes, your eyes are very beautiful. That's right, Xiao Xu, let's go."

The senior in red opened her mouth, finally managing to utter this sentence. Ignoring the fact that Xu Sanshi had only eaten half of his barbecue, she left after saying this and turned to leave.

"Hey, Sister Tao, I've only eaten half!"

Xu Sanshi struggled to shout, but it was to no avail, and he could only follow with a bitter face.

"You said you went to find that kid, then ate a skewer of grilled fish and came back?"

Inside the secret room, the old man in white looked helplessly at Ma Xiaotao. If Huo Yuhao were there, he would definitely recognize her as the red-clad senior who had come to his barbecue restaurant yesterday, ate some grilled fish, and whose words were somewhat incoherent.

"Um"

Ma Xiaotao had lost her usual domineering aura and was clearly embarrassed, glancing around nervously as she spoke.

"Didn't you say you wanted to see for yourself whether that kid was the one who dispelled the evil fire within you that night?"

The old man in white looked at Ma Xiaotao, whose thoughts were wandering, and raised his voice a little, hoping to bring Ma Xiaotao back to her senses.

"I went to see, and their martial soul is an eye, and it's golden!"

Ma Xiaotao muttered something stubbornly, then her voice trailed off.

"This isn't my fault. I was originally planning to force that little guy to show off, but for some reason, after seeing his golden eyes, I suddenly felt weak all over. I figured I couldn't just go for nothing, so I dragged Xu Sanshi back to help me suppress my evil fire."

Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, the old man in white realized that something was amiss.

"You said you felt weak all over just from seeing that little guy's eyes? What happened to the evil fire within you?"

"Evil fire?" Ma Xiaotao muttered, then her eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right, after seeing that little guy, the evil fire in my body also subsided. Yesterday, after Xiao Xu helped me suppress the evil fire, he actually whistled as he left, much more relaxed than before."

Ma Xiaotao sought out Xu Sanshi because Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul was the best water-attribute Martial Soul among the current students, and she could use some of its power to help suppress the evil fire within her body.

This process was like tempering steel for Xu Sanshi, offering only benefits, but the process itself was extremely painful. This is why Xu Sanshi immediately wore a bitter expression upon seeing her; he had been tormented more than once or twice, but yesterday Xu Sanshi clearly didn't feel much pressure.

"Could it be an innate suppression of extreme attributes? How is that possible? How could an eye-type martial soul possess the ultimate fire attribute? Moreover, the evil fire on Xiao Tao's body is not only of the fire attribute, but also carries an evil aura. However, judging from its appearance, this evil fire seems to be suppressed in every way."

The old man in white muttered to himself, completely baffled. He wasn't unfamiliar with people who possessed a physical spirit, but an eye spirit should, in any case, be a mental spirit. It shouldn't have caused Ma Xiaotao to feel a sense of powerlessness and intimidation just from a single glance.

According to some secret records from Shrek Academy, when a non-ultimate attribute Soul Master of the same element encounters an ultimate attribute Soul Master, they will indeed feel powerless and completely unable to fight back. However, I have never heard of a Spirit-type Soul Master being able to suppress a Fire-type Soul Master.

"That kid used me as a pawn. I'll go to his shop myself in a few days and see for myself."

The old man in white stopped thinking about it. Ma Xiaotao's current state was clearly not right. She, who was originally invincible among her peers and looked down on the world, had only encountered that black-haired, golden-eyed boy twice, and now she was almost like a quail. He had to go and see for himself to be at ease.

"Yuhao, haven't you always been curious about what's wrong with my right hand? Now that you're a level two Soul Master, it won't hurt to tell you. Besides, no one else is learning this skill of mine. If you're curious, I can tell you. Let's eat first."

In the muddled soul tool repair shop, Huo Yuhao finished repairing the soul tools he needed to repair and saw Ning Ge carrying two basins of plain noodles over.

Huo Yuhao skillfully rummaged through a pile of soul tools and pulled out a bottle of secret-recipe hot sauce that was squeezed into various metal parts, then poured the hot sauce into the noodles.

Instantly, the two bowls of noodles, which were originally crystal clear, turned bright red, with red oil bubbling up. The two bowls of plain noodles, which originally didn't look very appetizing, suddenly made people's mouths water.

The originally plain noodles are transformed into fiery snakes after being drizzled with chili sauce. The chili oil flows over the noodles like lava, making the originally unremarkable plain noodles look incredibly passionate and unrestrained.

"Slurp, slurp."

The two picked up their chopsticks and ate the noodles with gusto. After a few bites, Ning Ge picked up the small iron bowl in his hand and gulped down a few mouthfuls of the noodle soup bubbling with red oil. Then, with a look of satisfaction, he slowly untied the strip of cloth wrapped around his right hand, revealing three metal fingers that emitted a faint dark light, as well as half a metal palm embedded in his palm.
