The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Chapter 44 The Allure of the Golden Tree

Enveloped by the power of belief, Huo Yuhao felt as if he could enter the interior of the Golden Tree through the golden wooden box.

Huo Yuhao frowned inwardly, sensing something was amiss. Many of the soul power and souls of the successive Sea God Pavilion Masters would merge into the Golden Tree, supposedly to leave protection for Shrek Academy, but ultimately they would all be absorbed by the Golden Tree. And the Golden Tree was eventually possessed and devoured by Tang San's mother, the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, in the later part of the Legend of the Dragon King.

In other words, although the Golden Tree is currently at a high level, without the cooperation between Tang Hao as the ruler of the plane and Ah Yin, it should not have become the life core of Douluo Star yet. So why is his second martial soul connected with it?

Although Huo Yuhao could put his spiritual avatar into it, he still felt that doing so was too dangerous. Even if his spiritual avatar was trapped, it would only mean losing a portion of his spiritual power. However, the consequence was that Tang San would most likely discover it, which would cause a lot of trouble. After all, no one would believe that Tang San didn't leave behind any tricks in the Golden Tree.

Having arrived in a fantasy world, Huo Yuhao trusted the intuition he had under the influence of his second martial soul. However, he dared not gamble on the potential consequences. Now that his spiritual power had reached the Spirit Abyss Realm, his spiritual avatar, which could only execute simple commands and perform single operations, could truly transform into a clone carrying Huo Yuhao's will.

Now that I have entered the Spirit Abyss Realm, my spiritual power has become tangible but intangible. With the help of my spiritual avatar, I can barely be considered to be able to use some tangible and material means.

Although damaging this avatar would harm Huo Yuhao's will, it is recoverable and not serious. Compared to what a spiritual avatar can do, this price is completely acceptable.

Rather than rushing in, Huo Yuhao preferred to test the waters one more time before leaving Shrek Academy. If anything seemed amiss, he would abandon his spiritual avatar, send his physical body into the undead demiplane, and then have a new spiritual avatar use summoning magic to transfer his physical body elsewhere.

After thinking it over, Huo Yuhao no longer hesitated. After all, ever since he arrived at Shrek Academy, his second spirit seemed to be guiding him to the Golden Tree. Even if it was delayed for a while, there probably wouldn't be any problems.

Sensing that the soul power gathered by the golden wooden box was greater than what Wang Dong'er had cultivated in the dormitory, Huo Yuhao seized the time to continue absorbing and refining its soul power.

It took another two months to raise the required soul power for the second martial soul to level 30, and the first martial soul, the Spirit Eye, was also raised to level 28.

Sensing the power source in the golden wooden box slowly disappearing, Huo Yuhao guessed that Mu En had cut off his absorption of the golden tree's power. However, even without the golden tree's enhancement, with the help of the level 30 Soul Master's cultivation speed and the subsequent increase in the Spirit Eye's soul power, he could eventually double his progress again. He estimated that the remaining two levels would only take a month to achieve.

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, waking up from deep meditation. He felt as if his whole body had been refreshed. With the spiritual power of the Spirit Abyss Realm, he felt that his physique might be able to fight against a non-beast soul master Soul King, and they would be evenly matched. Once his Spirit Eyes reached level 30 and he absorbed the soul ring, he might be able to fight against a beast soul master Soul King.

Of course, this is based on the premise that the Soul King is a regular Martial Soul. So-called Golden Dragon Martial Souls or Soul Kings with a 100,000-year-old torso bone cannot be generalized.

"Child, you're awake." Mu En appeared before Huo Yuhao, speaking with a kind smile.

He could sense that Huo Yuhao's spiritual power had reached the level of an ordinary Title Douluo, while Huo Yuhao was just a child who was almost twelve years old and his soul power was less than level 30.

Mu En's gaze towards Huo Yuhao softened more and more.

"Teacher, I can sense that I will be able to break through to level 30 in about one or two months. At that time, I would like to ask you to hunt a soul beast for me." Huo Yuhao said directly after thinking for a moment.

By this time, he had figured it out. The Fear Dragon in his second spirit ring was already incredibly lucky. As for the Mind-Stealing Tiger and Nightmare he was expecting for his third and fourth spirit rings, they were both solitary spirit beasts and rare in number. If he went to find them on his own, he might encounter some ferocious beast and perish there.

Since Mu En had promised to hunt down a spirit ring for him, why should he waste his time and take the risk?

Moon nodded: "What kind of spirit beast do you expect for your third spirit ring?"

After pondering for a moment, Huo Yuhao said, "The soul beast that best fits my expectations is Nightmare. After a soul master absorbs this kind of soul beast with a mental attribute, there is a high probability that they can obtain a soul skill called Mind Control, which has a strong control effect in battle. Combined with my first soul skill, it can be further enhanced."

This was actually Huo Yuhao's lie. After all, unless one actually came into contact with the user, almost no one could analyze the essence of his first soul skill based on other people's descriptions.

Having the will of the heart allows one to select a specific soul skill from a soul beast and transform it into their own soul ring.

As long as he doesn't say anything, even if he gains spiritual absorption, combined with his true mimicry and first spirit ring, Huo Yuhao is confident that even Mu En won't be able to see through it.

Mu En nodded: "This kind of soul beast is extremely rare even in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest. It is indeed hard to find. Before you break through, I will find it and raise it in the beast pen for you. At that time, you can just kill it and absorb it."

"How many years of spirit rings are you confident you can absorb now?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and said, "With the support of my two main spirit souls, I am confident that I can absorb a spirit ring with an age of around ten thousand years. As for anything higher, I cannot guarantee."

Huo Yuhao used the non-existent "Second Martial Soul - Body of Light" as an excuse to make his demands.

Although Huo Yuhao could make up for any shortcomings in his soul rings by using the soul power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he figured he was the one hunting them, so he might as well save a little bit.

"By the way, child," Moon said after a moment's thought, "Now that you've broken through in your spiritual power level, do you feel you can control your second martial soul autonomously?"

Huo Yuhao already understood what Mu En wanted to do next. He condensed a stream of energy with the power of light and purification in his hand, nodded, and said, "Teacher wants me to purify the evil will in that senior sister's body, right? I can now freely control the abilities of my second martial soul."

The original reason why Huo Yuhao would make too much noise when using the Divine Purification Technique was because Hei Yuhao couldn't master the casting of sixth-order spells, so he directly copied and transferred Ilex's memories to achieve the same result.

Hei Yuhao did not waste these past few months. He made some satisfactory progress in many spells and experiments, including his control over spells of the sixth rank and below, as well as the deconstruction of their underlying logic.

Mu En nodded. One of the most important reasons he brought Huo Yuhao to the simulation training room was that he wanted Huo Yuhao to fully master the power of the 'Second Martial Soul,' since the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's body was being generated much faster than expected.

Although Huo Yuhao was able to purify it the first two times, it was only by using the subconscious instinct of his martial soul. What if he failed once? Shrek Academy could not afford to lose a nearly twenty-year-old Evil Fire Phoenix who was close to a Soul Saint and a chosen one appointed by the Sea God.
