Douluo: Start by taking control of the Holy Spirit Church Saint

Chapter 3 I, Huo Yuhao, have the potential to become a god

"Holy Spirit Cult!"

Huo Yuhao’s heart suddenly shook. He had never expected that someone from the Holy Spirit Church would appear in this place, and moreover, he was an absolute high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Church!

The Holy Spirit Church is one of the absolute final villain bosses in the original novel. Even from Huo Yuhao's modern social value theory, this group of guys cannot be cleansed. God knows how much killing this organization composed of pure evil soul masters has caused over the years?

Combined with the negative information about Tang Shenwang in the original novel, the emergence of the Holy Spirit Church is closely related to the destruction of a secret place called Slaughter City by Tang Shenwang in his early years. After losing Slaughter City, a prison for evil soul masters that was easy to enter but difficult to leave, evil soul masters began to move around the continent. The angel spirits that inherited the sacred attributes in the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago were the biggest nemesis of evil soul masters, but they lost their position as gods in the decisive battle with Tang Shenwang. There are only a few angel spirit inheritors left, and even the god-level spirits of the six-winged angels that can become gods have degenerated into ordinary top-level spirits such as holy angels and prayer angels, which only have certain sacred attributes or simple healing abilities.

The times have shaped you. You may not bring benefits to the common people, but at least you cannot bring harm to them.

Reading a book is one thing, and actually facing it is another. Even though the Douluo World belongs to the sewer of the fantasy world in terms of combat power, Huo Yuhao is not strong enough to face the black-clothed man in front of him who is very likely the leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, Zhongli Wu, unless he has nuclear weapons that travel with him.

“Junior Huo Yuanjia, may I ask your name?” Huo Yuhao could only silently greet the God King Tang and the Tang Ritian family tree, his mind racing, and he calmly gave a fake name.

“Very good, very good. My surname is Zhongli. I didn’t expect that this time I went out, I would bring such a big surprise to our sect.” The man in black pinched Huo Yuhao’s shoulder and smacked his lips in admiration.

It’s you, old man! Huo Yuhao sighed in his heart. He didn’t expect that he would fall into the hands of the big boss. He hoped that he could escape from the clutches of this old devil as soon as possible and not be brainwashed by the Holy Spirit Cult into a half-human, half-ghost appearance.

“Excuse me, senior. I don’t know why I was called an evil soul master just now, but my martial soul is just a pair of eyes.” Huo Yuhao was really puzzled at this moment. It was clearly a year earlier than the timeline in the original novel when Huo Yuhao learned the undead magic of Alex. Apart from the fact that his spirit eyes strangely absorbed a large number of souls just now, his current ability was probably not worthy of the title of the Son of the Holy Spirit Church. At most, he was half an ordinary evil soul master.

"The Saint is a rookie, so I'm afraid he doesn't know how to observe his own strength yet, which is not surprising." Zhongli Wu seemed very satisfied with the young man in front of him, and he spoke more unconsciously, "The Saint's martial soul is the second awakening. I have the honor of hearing about geniuses with full innate soul power, and I also know about the legendary innate 20th level peerless monsters. But the innate 30th level that is beyond the comprehension of the world, I just saw it today."

Innate level 30 soul power? Huo Yuhao was confused. He clearly felt that he should only have level 10 soul power.

“You haven’t been cultivating soul power for long, so you can’t sense your actual strength. The records in the ancient Spirit Hall state that soul power cultivation will not stagnate due to failure to obtain soul rings but will continue to accumulate. Your innate soul power exceeds the limit of becoming a god at level 20, so your martial soul has produced its own soul ring, which has not appeared in tens of thousands of years. You only need to hunt a suitable soul beast, and this self-soul ring will become a soul ring with real skills that meets your absorption limit.” Zhongli Wu patiently explained to Huo Yuhao. At this point, he couldn’t help but praise Huo Yuhao: “You are worthy of being the Holy Son of my sect. You have the potential to become a god!”

While the two were talking, those Titled Douluo-level evil soul masters had already eliminated all the members of the Shrek Supervisory Group, leaving only the "Saint" Ma Xiaotao, who was wrapped in evil fire and unconscious.

Compared to the first time Huo Gua saw her in the original novel, Ma Xiaotao's beautiful face at this moment still showed a hint of immaturity, and she still had the demeanor of a little fire maniac.

“The Saint possesses a rare Evil Fire Phoenix spirit. As long as the Saint uses his mental power to guide its evil nature, it can completely transform into a world-destroying Dark Phoenix. The first generation Shrek actually inherited this spirit.” Zhongli Wu grabbed Ma Xiaotao’s wrist and felt it, then sneered.

Huo Yuhao stood beside Zhongli Wu, looking at the unconscious Ma Xiaotao indifferently without saying a word. He still had a good impression of this girl who was like a sister to Huo Gua in the original novel and who finally took over Huo Gua's responsibilities in the mortal world without hesitation. If there was a chance, he hoped to rescue Ma Xiaotao.

"Holy Son, let's go back to the place that belongs to us alone."

"Let the seniors arrange it."

-

Just as described in the original novel, the Holy Spirit Church has an extremely complicated relationship with the high-level officials of the Sun-Moon Empire. Zhongli Wu is even equipped with an advanced flying soul guide from Mingde Hall, which provides great convenience for Zhongli Wu and his party in traveling.

Huo Yuhao sat obediently in the windproof shield equipped with the flying soul guide. He had taken many flights in his previous life, so he did not have much resistance to the aircraft from this alien world. He looked very contented, which made Zhongli Wu and others who had been secretly observing him praise him in secret.

The flying speed of the Super Douluo equipped with a flying soul guide is extremely fast, comparable to the supersonic speed of the special forces fighter jets in the previous life. The development of this soul guide is indeed very fast. No wonder even the Mecha Gundam appeared during the Legend of the Dragon King period, Huo Yuhao thought.

Through chatting with Zhongli Wu and others, Huo Yuhao also used the rhetoric from his previous life to find out the reason why the leader of the Holy Spirit Church appeared in the Star Luo Empire.

The army of the Sun-Moon Empire is stationed in the Mingdou Mountains, confronting the army of the Star Luo Empire led by the White Tiger Duke. The White Tiger Duke's strong command ability has brought many troubles to the Sun-Moon Empire army. The purpose of Zhongli Wu and his party is to sneak into the Star Luo Empire and try to capture the relatives and friends of the White Tiger Duke as a threat, so as to catch the White Tiger Duke off guard when the war breaks out in the future.

In the original novel, after Huo Gua left the Duke's Mansion, the Duchess died of illness not many years later. In fact, it was the Holy Spirit Church who secretly did something to distract the Duke of White Tiger from the war. This was not described in detail in the original text, but was simply told through Dai Huabin's mouth. I didn't expect that there was such an inside story.

Unfortunately, the huge Duke's Mansion was turned into a ruin by Huo Yuhao's art. Before Huo Yuhao took action, the Duchess confirmed that she had not gone out, and successfully became the nutrient for Huo Yuhao's spirit spirit. Therefore, Zhongli Wu and his group's action was a failure. Of course, Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao were excluded.

The forest in front of me is closer to the north. Looking around, it is mostly coniferous forest. Moreover, from the air, it can be found that in this coniferous forest, there are many dark gray branches and leaves, a dark mass of dense forests ranging from dark green to pitch black. In the entire continent, only this forest has such characteristics. Because this is the Demonic Forest! Before entering it, the sense of oppression has already come to me.

The Demonic Forest, without a doubt, was the destination of Zhongli Wu's trip. A soul master with a little common sense would not try to fly over a forest with a large number of soul beasts, as that would be tantamount to suicide. Zhongli Wu and his group relied on their strong strength and flew directly through the forest. Huo Yuhao was brought down from the air and landed on the ground and stopped.

Yes, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church is located in the Demonic Forest. If Huo Yuhao had not known it in advance from his God's perspective, no one would have imagined that the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church is located below the ground outside the Demonic Forest, in a building that can almost be described as a palace. What kind of project is this!

Moreover, the status of the Demon Forest in the Sun-Moon Empire is the same as that of the Star Forest in the Douluo Continent. The most powerful soul beasts of the Sun-Moon Empire live here, among which the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, who ranks second among the top ten fierce beasts in the world, lives here.

In the original novel, Huo Gua's seventh soul ring was obtained from here. At that time, he killed an Evil Eye Tyrant who had cultivated for 100,000 years. Later, he was discovered by the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord. It can be said that he had a narrow escape from death.

“Welcome, Master.” The evil soul masters who had been lurking here for a long time noticed Huo Yuhao and his group. When they saw Zhongli Wu and his group leading the group, they hurried forward to greet them.

"Pass the order down, all the people in the Holy Spirit Hall, gather together and follow me to welcome the Holy Son and Holy Daughter!"

Chapter 4: The spiritual eye changes, making the world feel pain

Under the Demonic Forest, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Church, the Holy Spirit Temple.

This building covers an area of ​​more than a thousand acres and is built entirely of solid granite. With various lighting and soul guides arranged, it looks extremely gorgeous.

Countless evil soul masters gathered together, more than a thousand people in total. Most of them had weaker cultivation bases, between the third and sixth rings, but there were also more than two hundred people with higher cultivation bases.

Following Zhongli Wu's instructions, all the people in the Holy Spirit Hall gathered in front of a square and looked at Huo Yuhao who was beside Zhongli Wu.

Many evil soul masters of the younger generation looked at Huo Yuhao with unfriendly eyes. After all, judging from the fluctuations of soul power coming from Huo Yuhao at this moment, it was obvious that he was just a scumbag who had just become a soul master.

No matter in which fantasy world, strength is the basis for proving everything. The evil soul masters are obviously not very interested in this so-called Holy Son.

In the Holy Spirit Church, there can be several Saints, but there will only be one Holy Son.

If he cannot show the special qualities that a Holy Spirit Church's Son should have, then obviously no evil soul master will be afraid of him.

Facing this evil soul master who exuded a weird and gloomy aura, Huo Yuhao, who only had level ten soul power, would have been defeated on the spot by the pressure alone if Zhongli Wu had not blocked him with his soul power.

“Holy Son, please release your martial spirit.” Zhongli Wu looked at Huo Yuhao and said with a smile.

Huo Yuhao nodded, his soul power surged, his spiritual eyes opened, and the illusory gray-white soul ring reappeared, immediately causing a commotion.

"The body spirit? Shouldn't it be someone from the Body Sect?"

"Is this spirit ring ten years old? Why does the color seem a little weird?"

"This Saint Son should be ten years old, how come he only has one ring?"

"..."

Listening to the discussions of many evil soul masters, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but clench his fists tightly. He had had enough of the humiliation of being questioned and ridiculed.

Huo Yuhao’s every move naturally did not escape Zhongli Wu’s eyes. He was very satisfied with Huo Yuhao’s unwillingness, and immediately raised his hand to suppress everyone.

"quiet."

"You must be very curious about how the Holy Son I chose could reach this position. I can tell you that this soul ring is his own soul ring. The Holy Son's true soul power level is more than level 30. He is the only one in Douluo Continent with a full soul power of level 30!"

Zhongli Wu's words shocked all the evil soul masters and they fell silent. They had only heard of the legendary angel god with full soul power at level 20, but they had never thought that this saint son would surpass that legend!

Among them there are some evil soul masters who specialize in theoretical knowledge and they remembered the secret research handed down by the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, that soul masters above the innate level thirty will surely become gods!

After all, some people have long questioned the theory of the ten core competitiveness of the great master Yu Xiaogang ten thousand years ago. It was copied and improved from the Spirit Hall by the Pope, with whom he had an ambiguous relationship. Some confidential files have never been seen even by the Pope.

Eventually, due to the fall of the Wuhun Empire, some things were lost from the empire’s worship hall at the time and were studied and discussed by later generations.

Zhongli Wu was very satisfied with everyone's shock. He then slowly took out a soul-guiding flag from the storage soul guide device, waved it slowly in front of him, and muttered something.

Some high-ranking members of the Holy Spirit Church who were familiar with Zhongli Wu knew what the leader was going to do. Soon, countless vengeful spirits that had been slaughtered by the Holy Spirit Church were released from the Soul-Guiding Banners. Among them, there were some super vengeful spirits with the strength of Titled Douluo level.

"Yuan Jia, activate your martial soul. I want to fully complete the second awakening of your martial soul in front of everyone."

It’s over. Huo Yuhao’s mouth twitched wildly. If his Spirit Eye Martial Soul really absorbed this kind of thing, he would probably completely turn into an evil soul master who only knew how to kill and destroy, right?

Of course, if he didn't do this, he would probably immediately become one of the resentful spirits in the soul-guiding banner.

With great reluctance, Huo Yuhao could only take one step at a time and activate his Spirit Eyes martial soul. Those vengeful spirits seemed to sense something and rushed towards Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Under the gazes of countless people, those ridiculously powerful vengeful spirits drilled into Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes one after another. Compared with the residents in the Duke's Mansion who had low soul power cultivation, the mental impact these vengeful spirits brought to Huo Yuhao was undoubtedly huge. After only three or four vengeful spirits drilled into him, Huo Yuhao's head almost exploded with pain, and he couldn't help but howl in pain.

But Zhongli Wu could clearly see that Huo Yuhao's eyes were glowing with dazzling brilliance. Even though he felt a little distressed, he soon felt relieved when he thought about the future that Huo Yuhao would bring to the Holy Spirit Church.

This is the evil soul master's unique method of awakening the spiritual martial soul. Different from the body sect's method of squeezing out the limits of the corresponding martial soul parts of the body through body training, evil soul masters are often more fragile in terms of mental strength. Simply improving Huo Yuhao's spiritual power is like forcing things to happen, which may easily cause an unstable foundation. Zhongli Wu really intends to train him as the Son of God. Naturally, he would not do such a stupid thing. Therefore, it is a better choice to use the vengeful spirits to impact his spiritual sea and let him complete his evolution.

Under the expectant gazes of all the evil soul masters, circles of ripples faintly appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes. His originally light blue pupils gradually turned blood red, and his own mental pressure also began to surge like a geyser.

Huo Yuhao’s spiritual eyes are originally spiritual martial souls, so when his spiritual power awakened at the age of six, it directly surpassed the realm of Lingyuan and entered the realm of Lingtong. After several years of training, he has reached the middle stage of Lingtong.

After Huo Yuhao blew up the Duke's Mansion and absorbed those souls, his mental power soared all the way to the peak of the Lingtong Realm. Now, with Zhongli Wu's unremitting assistance, he directly broke through the bottleneck of the Lingtong Realm.

The early stage of Linghai realm, the middle stage of Linghai realm, the peak of Linghai realm, Lingyuan realm!

Like an abyss or a prison, like the blue sky and the yellow spring, the blue sky above and the yellow spring below, all things return to where the thoughts go!

Huo Yuhao’s spiritual eyes finally stopped devouring the resentful souls. Zhongli Wu’s face showed ecstasy. He quickly put away the soul-guiding banner, grabbed Huo Yuhao’s shoulders, and felt the changes in Huo Yuhao.

You know, among the evil soul masters who are already mentally fragile, none of the most talented ones in the younger generation have reached the Lingyuan realm.

After his spiritual power reached the Lingyuan realm, Huo Yuhao could observe the changes in his appearance without looking in the mirror. In addition to the expansion of his spiritual sea dozens of times, his appearance also became much tougher. In his pair of captivating eyes, the blood-red pupils had circles of ripples.

Damn it, isn't it? Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. He clearly felt that he could use his mental power to do some things with just his pupil power.

He wanted to open his arms, and his mental power poured out. The powerful will made him slowly rise into the air. Another circle of gray-white soul rings emerged from under his feet, and as he rose into the air, a powerful repulsive force suddenly erupted.

All right, Shinra Tensei...

Countless members of the Holy Spirit Church looked at Huo Yuhao in horror as he continued to rise into the air. Just then, a ray of light from a soul guide came from behind him.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was like a devil descended to the earth!

"Welcome back the Holy Son!"

"The Son of God has come, long live the Holy Spirit Church!"

I don't know who started shouting these two sentences, but it immediately triggered a wave of worship. Huo Yuhao looked at the extremely fanatical people from the Holy Spirit Church below, as if he had traveled back to his original world, where a group of fanatical fans at the concert were shouting at the top of their lungs.

Several Holy Spirit Church elders came to Zhongli Wu, all of them were very excited, and said to him respectfully: "The Holy Son has arrived, congratulations, Master!"

“Hahahaha…” Zhongli Wu laughed loudly towards the sky, his laughter was so unscrupulous. Several elders looked at each other and were equally excited.

"God bless the Holy Spirit Church!"

Floating in mid-air, Huo Yuhao could only bite the bullet and use his mental power to utter those extremely childish lines.

"Now, let the world feel the pain!"

Okay, I admit that I am a middle school student!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 5: The Saint Does Not Observe Martial Ethics

Along with the huge surprise brought by Huo Yuhao, the Holy Spirit Church also held a rare grand banquet amid cheers and joy. As for the Saint Ma Xiaotao who was still in a coma, she could only make an official appearance after she woke up. Currently, only the top leaders of the Holy Spirit Church knew about this extra joy.

Of course, this was automatically filtered out in the huge surprise brought by the arrival of Huo Yuhao, the Holy Son.

Most of the younger generation of evil soul masters are also perceptive. Even if Huo Yuhao is weak now without an additional soul ring, his huge potential is enough to drive the entire Holy Spirit Church crazy. Therefore, in the future, any young evil soul master with a little bit of brains will spare no effort to curry favor with the new Holy Son.

Looking at the cups of Bloody Mary on the table, Huo Yuhao felt like vomiting. It seemed that the Holy Spirit Church had perfectly inherited the fine traditions of the City of Slaughter ten thousand years ago. If you drink too much of this stuff, it will affect your mind at the very least, and may cause mental disorder at the worst. No wonder most of the evil soul masters described in the original work were so crazy, it turned out that they drank a lot of this stuff!

It was the first time that Huo Yuhao had seen a banquet of evil spirit masters. It was truly a chaotic scene with people of all kinds of strange martial spirits gathered together to enjoy this rare time. In the past, this group of rats that were hated by everyone could now completely indulge themselves and enjoy life in this deep and invisible underground world.

Perhaps just as described in Douluo Dalu 4, no one is born an evil soul master, but their special way of cultivation determines their identity different from ordinary people.

However, the crimes committed cannot be forgiven, just as if a person is born with a psychological defect and it would be fine if he did not commit a crime, otherwise he would face severe punishment from justice and life imprisonment.

At the dinner, Huo Yuhao also met the disciples of the Holy Spirit Church who would appear in the subsequent plot of the original novel, Jili with the brain-eating beast spirit, Wang Xiaolei and Tang Dai with the skeleton spirit, Lu Genggeng with the hatred spirit, Gu Yu with the bone staff spirit, and Yan Feng, the direct disciple of Zhongli Wu with the bone dragon spirit.

Huo Yuhao couldn't refuse the invitation, so he reluctantly accompanied these people to drink a few glasses of Bloody Mary. He then left the scene on the grounds of feeling unwell and found a place to vomit.

Zhongli Wu arranged an independent small attic for him, which was located in the deepest part of the underground palace. This was a disguised way of giving him the greatest security guarantee. Even if there were evil soul masters with ulterior motives who wanted to take something from Huo Yuhao, they would have to get past Zhongli Wu and several elders first.

Huo Yuhao scanned the area with a strong spirit and did not find any surveillance in the residence, so he felt relieved. Going deep into a place like the Holy Spirit Church was like trying to get the skin of a tiger or dancing ballet on a tightrope. If you were not careful, you would be doomed.

Before this, Huo Yuhao's mental power had not yet transformed, so as long as Zhongli Wu wanted to explore his memory, it would be a big problem. Of course, that would also cause Huo Yuhao's spirit to suffer great damage. After weighing the pros and cons, Zhongli Wu did not do so.

Therefore, the first thing Huo Yuhao did after arriving at his residence was to insure his sea of ​​​​spirituality in case the Holy Spirit Church might spy on his memory in the future.

Although Huo Yuhao had never been exposed to any method of using mental power, the mental power of the Lingyuan Realm could already forcibly protect his memories. If one day Zhongli Wu and others wanted to thoroughly investigate his sea of ​​​​consciousness, then this insurance would be activated immediately, erasing all traces of his memories of his previous life. Similarly, Huo Yuhao himself would also lose all his memories of his previous life.

This is much better than letting the Holy Spirit Church, a terrorist organization, directly get the entire script.

After insuring his past life memories, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he only needed to deal with the training method taught by the Holy Spirit. As long as he did not lose his sanity and rationality, whether a person was good or evil would still be determined by his heart.

“Although my mental strength has increased a thousand-fold, my physical fitness hasn’t changed much.” Huo Yuhao looked inward and pointed out his most serious problem at the moment. Long-term malnutrition has caused his physique to be far inferior to that of soul masters of the same level. This is also the reason why he can only release tenth-level soul power even though Zhongli Wu perceives that he has accumulated thirty levels of soul power.

The fact that soul power is far inferior to mental power will also lead to restrictions on the use of mental power. Assuming that Huo Yuhao now has the skill of soul shock, and he is asked to fight against a level 20 soul master, he can only exert an attack power that matches the mental power of the Lingtong realm. Once he uses mental power beyond his physical fitness, Huo Yuhao's brain will explode directly due to the overload.

“I need to improve my physical fitness quickly.” Huo Yuhao clenched his fists and muttered to himself.

crunch--

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's door opened without warning, and a graceful figure appeared in his sight.

The visitor was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties, with long, shiny black hair that reached her waist, and a sexy figure without a trace of fat. She wore dark red eyeshadow, and her fox-like eyes were blooming with an alluring color. Her bright red lips were slightly opening and closing, which aroused people's reverie.

"Are you the Holy Son Huo Yuanjia?" The woman lazily looked at Huo Yuhao who was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Her seductive voice made the immature Huo Yuhao blush.

“Who are you, senior?” Huo Yuhao did not dare to treat the woman in front of him as a good person. How could she be an easy person to deal with if she could easily appear in the deepest part of the Holy Spirit Temple?

“Calling me senior is really too much.” The woman walked towards Huo Yuhao with interest. Her long, round legs outlined a beautiful scenery. She leaned forward slightly, put her hands on the edge of the bed, and said with seductive eyes: “I am the first saint of the Holy Spirit Church, Zhongli Yu, and I am also your future partner.”
