Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Feeling the immense power of heaven and earth, as well as the light and life force that almost solidified into a tangible form, the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass asked in surprise, "Yuhao, where is this place?"

Having stayed at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire for a long time, it naturally knew that the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was a rare treasure land in the world, which was extremely beneficial to the growth of plant-type soul beasts.

However, the current Eight-Cornered Ice Grass feels that if it can take root and survive here, it seems to be of great benefit to the growth of plant-type soul beasts.

"This is inside the Golden Tree," Huo Yuhao immediately explained.

As a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass could naturally "see" the chairs, tables, and even rooms nearby. It was somewhat surprised: "Inside the Golden Tree? But there are obvious signs of human habitation here. What's going on?"

"Strictly speaking, we should be in the underground of the Sea God Pavilion now."

"The so-called Sea God Pavilion can be understood as a pavilion built by Shrek Academy by carving a part of the Golden Tree..." Huo Yuhao began to explain some settings. Of course, he also told the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass about the origin of the Shrek Golden Tree.

"So that's how it is... If it weren't for Tang San, the Golden Tree would have grown somewhere else. Tang San moved the Golden Tree here purely out of selfishness, and the people of Shrek Academy are using the Golden Tree as a base to carve the Sea God Pavilion."

Even if it doesn't kill, it will damage the Golden Tree. The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass felt its image of Tang San crumble once again.

In his past memories, the righteous and enthusiastic Tang San seemed to be just an illusion created by the other party.

Then it said, "Yuhao, you let me out here, it can't just be for me to see the Golden Tree, right?"

“Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, you’re right. My main purpose in letting you out was actually to acquire your soul spirit. Once you become my soul spirit, I can break through the level 50 barrier and become a Soul King,” Huo Yuhao said bluntly.

His Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul did indeed need a new Soul Spirit, so he naturally chose to use the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass as his starting point.

To be honest, Huo Yuhao didn't actually need to follow the twin martial soul cultivation strategy from the first game, because Huo Yuhao was completely different from other soul masters with twin martial souls.

Other twin spirit masters need to first focus on cultivating the spirit with relatively weaker potential, and then give the second spirit a spirit ring once the strength has reached a certain level.

This is done to ensure that the spirit ring level of the second spirit is high enough, thereby further enhancing its strength.

Tang San largely followed this line of thinking back then.

Huo Yuhao's physical fitness and mental strength are quite good, so he can withstand the effects of spirits for a long enough period of time.

Even if the lifespan of the soul exceeds his capacity to bear it.

With the help of Tianmeng, Bingdi, Xuedi, and even Ilex, he can seal a portion of the soul's origin.

Although this will temporarily reduce the lifespan of the soul, as Huo Yuhao's strength increases, the lifespan of the soul will gradually increase, which is a good thing for Huo Yuhao.

Of course, because he is now a "powder keg" sealing the origin of soul beasts.

He couldn't just randomly find some soul beasts to become his new soul spirits.

The Ice Bear King is not suitable at the moment, because its cultivation level is much stronger than that of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

The eight-cornered ice grass gently swayed its leaves and said excitedly, "Yuhao, let me become your soul spirit."

Ever since it joined Huo Yuhao, it had been looking forward to this day.

Even if it is a divine herb, it is still just a soul beast in the end.

The most deadly aspect of a soul beast lies in its heavenly tribulation.

Surviving the tribulation is no easy task.

However, if it could become Huo Yuhao's soul spirit, it could ascend to the heavens in one step. After all, if Huo Yuhao were to ascend to godhood in the future, it could also benefit from the glory.

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, "Okay."

After some time, Huo Yuhao became a level 53 Soul King. He clenched his fist, feeling the immense power within his body, and his mind was filled with turbulent thoughts.

"Finally, I've become a Soul King. I remember, Xiao Hongchen is still a Soul King now."

When I first met Xiao Hongchen, I was just a one-ring Soul Master. Now I'm a Soul King, just like him!

"Moreover, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass has also become my soul spirit. Perhaps it is because I fused with the Ice Dragon King's soul bone that my compatibility with the ice element has been raised to an unprecedented level."

Therefore, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass not only gave me two soul skills, but it also taught me the Ice Emperor's Claw.

In fact, spirits can indeed learn the spirit skills of spirit masters. This phenomenon is generally called spirit communication. In the original work, Jiang Nannan's spirit, the Rouge Soft Tendon Python, learned one of Jiang Nannan's spirit skills.

Huo Yuhao subconsciously stretched out his hands and activated the Ice Emperor's Claw. The next moment, his hands and forearms were covered with hard ice, looking like diamonds, extremely hard. Then he made the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass release this soul skill as well.

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass immediately obeyed the command and released the same soul skill. The next moment, a large amount of ice appeared on the leaves of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass. Under the shroud of the light aura, the ice was like crystal, refracting a mesmerizing brilliance.

Huo Yuhao stretched out his hand and quickly threw several punches at the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, the clanging sounds echoing underground in the Sea God Pavilion.

"It is indeed very tough. This is a huge profit. It seems that the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass spirit will be able to engage in close combat with other enemies in the future." A smile gradually appeared on Huo Yuhao's face.

......

Near the Sea God Pavilion.

Ling Luochen sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the shimmering Poseidon Lake.

The gentle moisture mixed with the fresh air was invigorating.

As far as she knew, Poseidon Lake was not naturally formed, but was artificially excavated, so it could be considered a man-made lake.

Of course, even though it is a man-made lake, the water of Poseidon Lake is extremely clear. Ling Luochen could even see the reflection of the blue sky and white clouds in the lake.

She took a deep breath of fresh air, then turned around and looked at Ma Xiaotao beside her.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao was panting heavily, her chest rising and falling with her breath, and she looked to be in extremely poor condition.

"Luo Chen, when you attack me with all your might, I will try not to resist. Please help me suppress the evil fire."

Ling Luochen and Ma Xiaotao have known each other for many years, but their relationship has never been very good.

Because Ling Luochen is usually too aloof, and Ma Xiaotao's personality is completely different from Ling Luochen's, the two of them rarely even talk to each other.

However, since the Shrek Academy team returned in disgrace from the Soul Fighting Tournament, perhaps because they had experienced the same fate, they had a lot to talk about and the two quickly became good friends.

At this moment, seeing Ma Xiaotao's pained expression, Ling Luochen asked with some concern, "Xiaotao, are you sure you want me to use my full strength to help you suppress the evil fire?"

Why don't you call Xu Sanshi along? His martial spirit can actually help you suppress the evil fire, and his methods are much gentler.

Chapter 197 I am Xiao Yan of the Soul Palace

Ling Luochen hesitated, after all, doing so could potentially cause Ma Xiaotao serious harm.

For Elder Zhuang of the academy, some injuries could be easily healed, while others were difficult to cure. She did not want to leave Ma Xiaotao with indelible damage.

Ma Xiaotao gasped for breath, her eyes gradually turning red: "Xu Sanshi is no good, he's too weak."

My problem with excessive internal heat is getting worse. Normally, I could ask him to help suppress it.

But in this situation... only you can help me suppress my lustful desires, Luo Chen. Please help me, I can't suppress them anymore.

As she spoke, Ma Xiaotao's breathing became increasingly rapid, and her expression turned extremely agitated.

The rationality that belonged to a human soul master was also rapidly fading at this moment. She gritted her teeth and stared straight at Ling Luochen, looking as if she wanted to devour him.

Oh no! He's already lost his mind from the evil fire so quickly?

Ling Luochen's heart skipped a beat. Actually, the reason she and Ma Xiaotao were able to come to the vicinity of the Sea God Pavilion was because Yan Shaozhe had given them special permission. Normally, students would not be allowed to come to such an important place as the Sea God Pavilion without permission.

Yan Shaozhe did this to improve Ma Xiaotao's health, after all, he was Ma Xiaotao's teacher and should consider his student's well-being.

Furthermore, Ma Xiaotao is a descendant of Ma Hongjun, one of the original Seven Devils who made significant contributions to the academy. Shrek Academy would naturally do everything possible to protect Ma Xiaotao.

"Xiao Tao, calm down. Don't lose your mind. Think about Dean Yan. He certainly doesn't want you to lose your mind."

Anxiety showed on Ling Luochen's fair face. No matter what, she didn't want anything to happen to Ma Xiaotao.

She hopes that Ma Xiaotao can regain her senses and be able to communicate normally.

But her attempts were in vain.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ma Xiaotao directly activated her martial spirit.

Crimson wings unfurled from her back, and flames quickly enveloped her, blazing and bright, making her appear from afar as a fiery red figure.

The temperature in the air suddenly rose, and the thin mist that had been near Poseidon Lake also turned into water vapor and quickly dissipated under Ma Xiaotao's influence.

Ma Xiaotao's expression as she looked at Ling Luochen was also very strange. It was more like a hunter sizing up its prey than looking at a friend.

For a moment, Ling Luochen also sensed the crisis.

She knew that Ma Xiaotao had lost her mind, and that words alone could not bring her back to her senses.

Ling Luochen gritted her teeth, and a staff made entirely of ice immediately appeared in her hand.

A chill immediately filled the air.

This is her first soul skill—the Ice Staff.

She then needed to unleash her other soul skills to suppress the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao's body and restore her sanity.

Although doing so might injure Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.

After a while, Ling Luochen collapsed to the ground, his face pale and bloodstains appearing at the corners of his mouth.

The ground beside her was charred black and riddled with craters of varying sizes.

The damage to the external environment was actually a result of the battle between the two.

Ling Luochen stared at Ma Xiaotao not far away, somewhat incredulous.

Because she hadn't expected that Ma Xiaotao's problem with her inner fire hadn't been resolved yet, but the other party had become so much stronger.

Could it be that for Ma Xiaotao, the increased corrosive effect of the evil fire could actually enhance her strength?

She subconsciously activated her soul-guiding shield, and soon she was enveloped in a golden-glowing shield.

The appearance of the soul-guided shield gave Ling Luochen a sense of security.

"However, once my soul power is exhausted, even a defensive soul tool will not be able to sustain me."

What should I do then? Without soul power, how can I contend with Ma Xiaotao? Ling Luochen felt heavy-hearted. She felt that her situation was currently quite bad, and she might die at Ma Xiaotao's hands.

After all, Ma Xiaotao is now completely unable to communicate.

However, Ling Luochen could not back down.

Because she knew that letting Ma Xiaotao leave in this state would definitely harm the students in the academy, she had no choice but to stay here for their safety.

"If only there were someone around here."

She felt somewhat helpless; despite the commotion she and Ma Xiaotao had caused, no one had come to help.

This means that the elders of the Sea God Pavilion could not possibly be here; otherwise, they would have already come out to resolve Ma Xiaotao's problem.
