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

Upon hearing these words, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but sigh:

"No matter how advanced we become, we can no longer see Yuhao's shadow in terms of spiritual power."

"Yuhao truly lives up to his reputation as the number one genius of Douluo Continent. After conducting experiments on the power of his Battle Armor, his mental strength level has actually improved again. This is simply outrageous! Could it be that an improvement in mental strength can also lead to enlightenment? Perhaps the manifestation of enlightenment is different?"

At this point, he looked at Kong Deming with some hesitation: "Elder Kong, you are very experienced. Can you tell me if one can have an epiphany by improving one's spiritual power level?"

Kong Deming was also somewhat confused. Although he was not a spirit-type soul master, he had a high status, strong strength, and had lived a long life. In his life so far, he had seen many things.

But what he saw before him left him utterly bewildered.

He shook his head and said frankly, "I don't know."

As a level 10 Soul Master, he has always adhered to the principle of "knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing," and he never pretends to know what he doesn't.

In his mind, even if he held a high position, it was not shameful to admit to younger people that he did not know certain things.

Upon hearing these words, Jing Hongchen felt a headache coming on and could only continue to focus his gaze on Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao's unusual behavior, as well as the words of the three of them, were being broadcast to many Soul Masters via the Soul Guidance Light Screen, immediately causing a great uproar among them.

It was like a huge rock that suddenly plunged into the lake.

A cacophony of voices arose from various places:

"Although I don't understand it, I am deeply moved!"

"Is the difference between people really that big? I feel like I came into this world just to make up the numbers."

"Lord Tower Master, we love you dearly!"

In an instant, the power of faith poured into Huo Yuhao's divine fire surged like a mighty river, rising once again.

A moment later, a glint of light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and his mind surged with thoughts like a tidal wave:

"As expected of the divine blessing brought by the nine divine flames, my spiritual consciousness has now been completely transformed into divine consciousness under the assimilation of the divine power."

In a sense, I now possess a divine soul, not just a physical soul! So, am I now considered a half-god-level powerhouse?

"After all, without a divine position and divine body, there are still flaws. My current level of divine consciousness has not reached the level of a first-level god. However, the gap in strength between me and Tang Buddha has narrowed!"

He collected his thoughts, looked at the people nearby, and the mental pressure on his body disappeared like the receding tide. The consciousness of the plane also quietly stopped concealing Huo Yuhao's aura.

"Yuhao, just how high has your mental strength reached?"

Chapter 852 Blacksmith Training Program

Xuan Ziwen stepped forward and asked with some curiosity.

Everyone else's gaze, following Xuan Ziwen's question, immediately focused on Huo Yuhao, who simply shook his head:

"Teacher Xuan, there are some things we should discuss privately."

He did not immediately announce in public that he possessed divine consciousness, which already made him a demigod.

The reason is simple: as the being who condenses nine streams of the Ice God's Fire, he can slightly sense the current general emotions of the believers.

Simply put, the believers are currently very excited.

The appearance of the battle armor and the improvement of his own spiritual power level are already major news, which can make believers more devout and provide him with more faith power.

However, if an even more significant piece of news were released today, while believers would be excited and even more devout, the increase in faith power they receive might not be particularly high.

After all, there is a limit to how much one can be emotionally charged; too much of anything is as bad as too little.

Only by allowing the believers' emotions to gradually subside, and then finding an opportunity to reveal their divine consciousness later, can the power of faith provided by the believers increase at a greater rate.

Even the gods in some Western fantasy stories from the past wouldn't show off their power or display miracles in front of their believers every day!

Xuan Ziwen nodded, indicating his understanding.

Then, Huo Yuhao looked at the soul-guiding light screen and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, you have just witnessed the power of the One-Word Battle Armor. I can tell you with certainty that the best enhancement range of the One-Word Battle Armor is the fourth and fifth rings. With the One-Word Battle Armor, a fourth-ring Soul Master can have the strength of a sixth-ring Soul Emperor, and a fifth-ring Soul King can have the strength of a seventh-ring Soul Saint."

"Of course, as the lowest level of battle armor, the One-Word Battle Armor still has its flaws. Once it exceeds its optimal amplification potential, its effect on improving the strength of a Soul Master will be greatly reduced."

"Take an 80th-level Soul Master as an example. With a one-word battle armor, such a Soul Master can only increase his strength by one level. It sounds like it's better than nothing, but that's already the limit of an ordinary one-word battle armor."

"The One-Word Battle Armor is just the beginning. We will have higher-level battle armor in the future. The improvement that this type of battle armor brings to the personal strength of a Soul Master is far beyond what the One-Word Battle Armor can provide!"

Of course, all battle armor is forged by human soul masters, and you also have the opportunity to forge your own battle armor!

Now, as the Master of the Spirit Pagoda, I declare that from today onwards, all Soul Masters of the Spirit Pagoda must learn forging and undergo an assessment. If you fail the assessment, then focus your energy on other things!

To be honest, forging is a skill that requires a lot of talent. If you don't have enough talent, you don't need to work yourself to death on it. Take Tang Wulin from Douluo Continent III for example, his forging talent is simply off the charts.

Our blacksmithing community needs talents like this!

Huo Yuhao's words were known to a large number of Soul Masters through remote Soul Guidance Video Communication Technology. In fact, anyone who could see this scene was a Soul Master from the Spirit Pagoda.

Due to the rapid expansion of the Spirit Pagoda, most of the outstanding talents within the Sun Moon Empire have been absorbed into the Spirit Pagoda.

Huo Yuhao couldn't possibly forge a one-word battle armor for everyone individually, as he didn't have that much time. He could only use this method to train as many blacksmiths as possible.

As for the instructors, researchers who have studied forging techniques can be hired.

Although none of them could forge spirit-forged metal, forging metals that had been forged a hundred or a thousand times was not actually a difficult task.

With such skill, it would be more than enough to teach someone who knows nothing about forging.

These words immediately caused a tremendous upheaval within the Spirit Pagoda's Soul Masters, with everyone displaying a mixture of surprise and delight on their faces.

A cacophony of voices rose and fell across the land.

"Praise be to the Tower Master!"

"Great! I finally have the chance to forge my own battle armor!"

"The Tower Master's insight is brilliant!"

.......

After turning off the Soul Guiding Light Screen, Huo Yuhao, Xuan Ziwen, Kong Deming, and Jing Hongchen all returned to the First Laboratory.

He looked at the three people with inquisitive expressions and said in a deep voice:

"Regarding my mental strength, it has actually been raised to the level of divine consciousness!"

Upon hearing this, all three of them wore expressions of disbelief.

They had never seen divine consciousness, but they knew exactly what level of thing it was.

The reason is simple: Yu Xiaogang, who used to enjoy writing books, did publish some books about deities. As time has passed, people naturally know that divine consciousness is the exclusive term for the spiritual power of deities.

"Divine sense, it's actually divine sense!" Xuan Ziwen was somewhat stunned.

"Yuhao, have you become a god like Tang San did ten thousand years ago?" Jing Hongchen asked, his face still showing shock.

Huo Yuhao shook his head:

“Dean Jing, strictly speaking, I cannot be considered a god at present; I only possess divine consciousness.”

Although Jing Hongchen didn't understand what this meant, a thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately thought of something else:

"Since you possess divine consciousness, there shouldn't be any human soul master in Douluo Continent who can surpass you in terms of spiritual power, right?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and nodded: "That's true."

"Then why don't we just tear up the peace agreement now and destroy the Douling Empire? I'll be the villain!" Jing Hongchen said in a deep voice.

"No! The reason is this: we have a real enemy..." Huo Yuhao explained again the "real enemy" he had previously told Kong Deming.

.......

Large swaths of white clouds hang high in the sky, as docile as sheep.

The azure ocean waves surged, with white spray occasionally crashing and breaking apart, making a splashing sound.

A demonic great white shark was swimming in the water, chasing after a school of soul beast fish. For it, this was a daily hunt.

Not only can it fill your stomach, but it can also give you the pleasure of hunting.

Now, backed by the Sea God and the Sea God's family, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan can be said to be incomparably noble. Looking across the entire ocean, there are really not many soul beasts that dare to offend the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.

Just as it was about to finish off the group of soul beast fish in one fell swoop, suddenly, a purple-gold light appeared.

Like a whirlpool, it easily pulled at its body. It tried various methods to break through the whirlpool's restrictions, but all of them ended in failure.

"Who! I am a member of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan. You'd better think carefully before you try to mess with me!"

It was somewhat panicked, but in order to scare away the clearly invincible enemy, it could only resort to its clan to try to intimidate the other side.

"The Demon Soul Great White Shark? That's exactly what I'm looking for!"

A female voice echoed in its mind.

Then, a person completely shrouded in a black cloak appeared opposite it.

Chapter 853 Demon Emperor, you don't want to be unable to avenge your husband, do you?

The Demon Soul Great White Shark stared blankly at the black-robed man in front of it.

Judging from the curves outlined in the black robe, the other party was undoubtedly a woman, and her hands were covered with dark purple magic patterns.

A chilling aura, as if a natural enemy had descended, emanated from the man in black robes.

The Great White Shark felt a chill run down its spine, as if its entire body had plunged into an ice cave. It suppressed its fear, trying to make its voice calm and composed, and adopting an air of confidence:

"Human Soul Masters from the land? I warn you, in the ocean, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan has the merit of serving the gods, and the clan leader even served as the mount of the first Sea God."

"If you harm me, the clan leader and the others will not let you off! If you take back what you just said and let me go, then I will forgive and forget. Otherwise... you can expect to face the wrath of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan and the Sea God family!"

In its understanding, any sea spirit beast or sea spirit master must know the relationship between the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, Lord Sea God, and the Sea God family, and must give face to the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan.

Of course, there have been instances in the past where sea spirit beasts or sea spirit masters disrespected the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, and even bullied its members.

However, such sea spirit beasts or sea spirit masters generally meet a tragic end.

With the blessings of two successive sea gods, the majesty of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan in the ocean has become even more profound.

If we were to translate that into the human world, they would be considered a family with a life of great wealth and prosperity!

Therefore, it guessed that the black-robed man in front of it was a human soul master from the land, who might have a misunderstanding of the prestige of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, which is why he acted so ignorantly.
