In Douluo, infinite simulation life
Page 240
Huo Yuhao noticed that when the emperor was facing the princess, his expression would always become extra gentle, and even his aura would be restrained to the point where it was barely noticeable. It was obvious that the saying that Princess Tian Zhen was the emperor's favorite was absolutely true, and when the emperor summoned himself and Jing Hongchen, he only asked the princess to stay, so he might have other intentions.
“Tian Zhen, you can discuss the matter of soul fusion with Lord Huo later. Take out the things first.” The emperor’s words brought the conversation back to the main topic. Princess Tian Zhen immediately picked up a golden belt placed on the imperial desk beside her, walked down the steps and came to Huo Yuhao’s side.
The material of the golden belt is not simple gold, but the rare metal Yuyang Jingjin, which is more than a thousand times more precious than gold of the same weight. But more important is the more than ten starlight sapphires inlaid on the belt. The starlight sapphire in the middle is half the size of a palm. Such a large starlight sapphire alone is worth no less than 10 million gold soul coins.
The main use of starlight sapphire is to make storage soul guides. This belt is a top-level storage soul guide with more than ten storage spaces. The things inside should be the emperor's reward.
Sure enough, Princess Xu Tianzhen did not hand the belt directly to Huo Yuhao, but instead injected soul power into the largest starlight sapphire on the belt, obviously intending to take out the items inside.
Generally speaking, the use of storage soul guides only requires a small amount of soul power, but with Princess Xu Tianzhen's quasi-soul emperor level cultivation, she poured all her soul power into it, and it took more than ten seconds to open the storage space. The item that Princess Xu Tianzhen took out was a set of silver full-body armor, which exuded a powerful and magnificent energy aura that even Star Douluo Ye Yulin's Sun and Moon Divine Needle could not match.
There is no doubt that the grade of this set of armor is a ninth-level soul guide device, and it is the most advanced among the ninth-level soul guide devices. Even if all the soul guide devices currently on Huo Yuhao are added together, their value is definitely not half of that of this set of armor.
Huo Yuhao currently has three ninth-level soul guides, namely the Sun and Moon Needle made by Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin, the ninth-level defensive soul guide Red Dust Blessing made by Mingde Hall Master Jing Hongchen, and the ninth-level wind-attributed flying soul guide Bixiao made by Huo Yuhao's master. Among them, Red Dust Blessing was given to Huo Yuhao by Jing Hongchen after he returned from Shrek Academy. It is unknown whether it is a reward for Huo Yuhao or a dowry for Meng Hongchen. But even if the value of these three ninth-level soul guides is added together, there is still a big gap between it and the silver armor in front of him.
Princess Xu Tianzhen introduced the armor while Huo Yuhao was admiring it: "The official name of this armor is the Silver Moon Dragon Armor. The main materials used to refine it all come from a silver dragon that was hunted more than 3,000 years ago. It includes a section of the silver dragon's spine, 7749 silver dragon scales including a piece of dragon's reverse scale, and bone marrow extracted from the silver dragon's skull by Jiu Qian. You can guess that the soul master who made it is your grandmaster, Silver Moon Douluo Kong Lao. Even if the Silver Moon Dragon Armor is ranked among all the soul guides in the world, it can be ranked in the top five. It is conservatively estimated that it can increase your strength by 30%. With the protection of the Silver Moon Dragon Armor, even if you stand and let a soul master below the Soul Saint level attack you at will, they will not be able to hurt you at all for a moment."
Huo Yuhao finally understood why Princess Xu Tianzhen had to spend so much effort to take out this set of armor. It was because its grade was too high. The storage space that contained it must have been compressed and consolidated numerous times in order to withstand its terrifying power.
I think the storage space formed by the large piece of starlight sapphire is specially used to hold the Silver Moon Dragon Armor. Low-level storage soul guides cannot hold high-level soul guides, otherwise they will explode instantly. Given the level of the Silver Moon Dragon Armor, the storage soul guide that can be used to hold it is probably not much less valuable than a level nine soul guide.
"Before using the Silver Moon Dragon Armor, you need to go through a master recognition ceremony. You need to integrate your blood essence, soul power, and mental power into it to communicate with it. This is not a suitable place. I will take you to a secret place in the palace to perform the master recognition and fusion. As for the other storage spaces on this storage belt, they are filled with various rare metals that can be used to make high-level soul guides. You can check them out yourself afterwards."
After Princess Xu Tianzhen finished speaking, she once again injected a large amount of soul power into the storage belt to retract the Silver Moon Dragon Armor. Just by releasing and retracting it, using this storage soul guide twice actually consumed a full 30% of her soul power.
Huo Yuhao was somewhat bewildered as he took the storage belt from Princess Xu Tianzhen and put it on. The belt itself was obviously a high-level soul guide. After he put it on his waist and injected some soul power into it, it stretched and wrapped around Huo Yuhao's waist, fitting with Huo Yuhao's clothes and maintaining a proper tightness.
“Your Majesty, your Majesty, would like to thank your student Huo Yuhao for the reward. I will definitely serve the country in the future and live up to your Majesty’s expectations.” Huo Yuhao expressed his gratitude as a student of Mingde Hall and bowed more than ninety degrees to show his respect to the emperor.
When the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire saw Huo Yuhao’s actions, he realized that his goal of further winning over Huo Yuhao had been achieved.
So he changed his tone to a relaxed one and continued another topic of the day: "Lord Huo, I once heard from Elder Kong that you hold a divine weapon with life attributes in your hand, and you once used the pure vitality contained in the divine weapon to baptize the lives of the Red Dust Hall Master and others. The effect can even give the Titled Douluo-level Red Dust Hall Master an opportunity to break through. I have been seriously ill in recent years. Although the court doctors and others often comfort me that I will recover in the future, I don't know the actual situation. Fortunately, the light source liquid refined by Lord Huo has alleviated my pain a lot, and the princess also found it very beneficial after taking it. Today, I would like to ask Lord Huo to be willing to spend the power of the divine weapon to treat me. In the future, if Lord Huo has any resource needs, the empire will fully support it."
Huo Yuhao could sense the solemnity of the emperor’s last promise. He immediately touched the Eye of Life between his brows, took out the Blade of Life Watch, and said, “It is my honor to be able to treat Your Majesty. If Your Majesty needs it, I will start treating you immediately.”
As soon as the Blade of Life Guardian appeared, Princess Xu Tianzhen, who had never seen it before, immediately became curious and came forward to carefully examine this legendary artifact. Although the emperor was sitting on the dragon throne more than ten meters away from Huo Yuhao, the sharpness of the Blade of Life Guardian still made him tremble. The emperor had no doubt that even the most powerful defensive soul guide in the world would be easily cut by this carving knife if neither of them had soul power to drive it.
Do not employ people you doubt and do not doubt people you do not employ is an excellent quality of a ruler. Before the treatment, the emperor cooperated very well with Huo Yuhao when a sharp blade was put close to his head. He did not avoid it at all, and kept his eyes open and looked directly at the Blade of Life-Watching, without any fear or worry.
Since this trip was to extend the emperor's life, Huo Yuhao simply made the best of this. Alex did not directly inject the pure vitality from the Blade of Life Watch into the emperor's body, but used this life energy to cast a magic called Life Blessing on the emperor. Compared with the previous usage, the Life Blessing is not so helpful for the soul master's cultivation. Most of the life energy will be stored in the emperor's heart and gradually released through the human body's life cycle. This kind of life blessing is generally applicable to newborn babies, which can subtly nourish the constitution of the object of the spell, but it is just right for the emperor's current situation.
The Blade of Life Guardian was stuck to the emperor's forehead for more than three minutes before Huo Yuhao took it away. During this period, if Huo Yuhao wanted to harm the emperor, even with Jing Hongchen's strength, he would definitely not be able to rescue him in time. But the emperor sat there expressionlessly and motionlessly, and even his eyes remained calm and did not move away. When Huo Yuhao took back the Blade of Life Guardian, the emperor did not enter deep meditation like Jing Hongchen and others before, but closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body for a while.
Soon he opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Lord Huo is thoughtful. The feeling I just had is quite different from what the Red Dust Hall Master described to me before. I think it's because Lord Huo uses the power of the artifact differently. But no matter what, I still have a personal experience of the improvement in my physical condition. Now that everything is done, Tian Zhen, you can take Lord Huo to the secret place to fuse the Silver Moon Dragon Armor, and take him around the palace. In addition, the storage belt used to hold the Silver Moon Dragon Armor can also be regarded as a token of my gift. Lord Huo can enter and leave the palace freely as long as he wears it. Lord Hongchen and I have important matters to discuss, so you can leave first."
When the emperor said this, his voice was no longer as weak as before, but restored to the calm and majestic state that an emperor should have. His complexion was also much rosier than before, and it was obvious that his qi and blood had improved. The emperor, who had been ill for a long time, suddenly behaved like a healthy middle-aged man.
Even Jing Hongchen, who brought Huo Yuhao with him, had not expected that the vitality infusion of the Lifeguard Blade would have such an effect. It seemed that just as the emperor said, Huo Yuhao was able to change the usage of the artifact power in a timely manner according to different situations, which also meant that Huo Yuhao was getting closer and closer to truly controlling and exerting the power of the artifact.
Princess Xu Tianzhen was delighted to see the change in the emperor's state, and was obviously more enthusiastic towards Huo Yuhao than before. As soon as the emperor gave the order, Xu Tianzhen asked Huo Yuhao to leave the palace with her. They walked without paying attention to any court etiquette, and were not much different from innocent children playing.
Huo Yuhao followed Xu Tianzhen to the secret place that the emperor mentioned. On the way, Xu Tianzhen kept asking questions about Huo Yuhao himself. Huo Yuhao responded fluently with all the arguments he had prepared. Although Xu Tianzhen was a little confused about some of the contents, he did not delve into it.
Under Xu Tianzhen's guidance, Huo Yuhao finally came to a palace surrounded by high walls. Compared with other areas in the palace, this place seemed particularly cold and quiet, and there were almost no palace maids or eunuchs coming and going. Just when Huo Yuhao was puzzled, Xu Tianzhen took the initiative to explain: "This is the cold palace often mentioned in folk palace legends. I'm afraid no one would have thought that there would be a different world under the cold palace."
Chapter 371: The Ultimate Light Attribute of the Deathly Holy Magic God's Martial Soul
As he spoke, Xu Tianzhen walked into a narrow alley, released the sun martial soul inherited from the royal family, and used his soul skills towards a certain part of the palace wall.
The seemingly ordinary wall was not damaged at all after being attacked by Xu Tianzhen's soul skill. Instead, the floor under the feet of Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianzhen suddenly cracked and then quickly closed. In less than ten seconds, Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianzhen, who were still on the ground, disappeared.
The bottom of the basement was nearly ten meters high from where Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianzhen were originally standing, but for a soul master of Huo Yuhao's level, it was nothing.
As early as when he came to the cold palace, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power had already sensed the underground hole, but if he did not use spiritual detection to explore in detail, Huo Yuhao would not be able to find the entrance. Even if he found it, he could not enter here. From Xu Tianzhen's previous actions, it can be seen that only by releasing a certain soul skill with the royal family's inherited sun martial soul can the entrance mechanism be activated.
"This underground facility is one of the most secret places in the palace. It stores many confidential files of the empire. Father and us princes and princesses also practice in seclusion here. I will take you to my special training room now, and you will fuse the Silver Moon Dragon Armor there."
Xu Tianzhen explained while leading the way. Although this place was underground, it was not dark. The walls and floors were made of some unknown material, but they all had a faint light, allowing people to see things normally without feeling any stimulation.
Xu Tianzhen’s exclusive training room is decorated very simply, but every item in it would be a priceless treasure in the soul master world if placed in the outside world.
Huo Yuhao first expended a lot of soul power to take out the Silver Moon Dragon Armor from his storage belt, then sat on a cushion made of dozens of wood-attribute soul beast skins to regulate his breathing. It took him a full quarter of an hour to suddenly stand up. At this time, Huo Yuhao's eyes were fixed on the back of the upright Silver Moon Dragon Armor.
The core of the Silver Moon Dragon Armor is right at the back, corresponding to the center of the human spine. A moon pattern is engraved on it, emitting a faint colorful halo.
Huo Yuhao stretched out his right index finger and poked his forehead to force out a drop of blood essence, which was then integrated into a trace of original soul power and a trace of original spiritual energy.
Afterwards, under Huo Yuhao’s control, this drop of innate blood essence that condensed the essence of Huo Yuhao’s essence, qi, and spirit slowly fell onto the colorful moon pattern on the back of the Silver Moon Dragon Armor, and instantly merged into the core of the Silver Moon Dragon Armor.
After absorbing Huo Yuhao's blood and essence, the Silver Moon Dragon Armor suddenly burst out with three different colors of light. The helmet part was intertwined with gold, silver and black lights, symbolizing the spiritual power of the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul; the back of the armor was shining with a turquoise light, symbolizing the ultimate ice and snow power of the Ice Emperor Scorpion Martial Soul; the front of the armor bloomed with an incomparably dazzling golden light, which symbolized the ultimate brightness of the Holy Death God Martial Soul.
The preciousness of the Silver Moon Dragon Armor lies in the fact that the main material used to make it comes from a silver dragon hunted more than three thousand years ago. The silver dragon inherited the elemental control ability from the Dragon God and can simultaneously control the energy of seven attributes: water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space.
The reason why the silver dragon can control many elements is its powerful spiritual talent. Therefore, the Silver Moon Dragon Armor can fit most soul masters. As long as the soul master's martial soul carries any elemental power, or the martial soul's own attribute is spiritual, it can resonate with the Silver Moon Dragon Armor. The original attributes of Huo Yuhao's three martial souls are spiritual attribute, ice and snow attribute, and light attribute, which can correspond to the ability controlled by the silver dragon, making the Silver Moon Dragon Armor present three anomalies at the same time.
Huo Yuhao didn't care about the strange phenomenon that the Silver Moon Dragon Armor might cause Princess Xu Tianzhen's suspicion at the side, because after completing the communication with Huo Yuhao, the Silver Moon Dragon Armor had automatically split into dozens of pieces and surrounded Huo Yuhao's body. In the next moment, it suddenly attached to Huo Yuhao's body and reassembled. Huo Yuhao, who was wrapped in the Silver Moon Dragon Armor, suddenly burst out with a terrifying pressure, and even Princess Xu Tianzhen of the Sun Moon Empire was shocked.
The moment the Silver Moon Dragon Armor wrapped around Huo Yuhao's entire body, it immediately activated Huo Yuhao's soul power, mental power, and blood essence to combine with it. With the help of the Silver Moon Dragon Armor, Huo Yuhao's various abilities were comprehensively improved, and the increase in his overall strength was far more than the 30% that Princess Xu Tianzhen had mentioned before.
However, the fusion of the Silver Moon Dragon Armor inevitably and uncontrollably triggered the energy of Huo Yuhao's entire body, so the mixed energy that Huo Yuhao accidentally released just now directly suppressed Princess Xu Tianzhen to her knees on the ground. This was not only because of the difference in strength between Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianzhen and the increase in the power of the Silver Moon Dragon Armor, but also because Huo Yuhao absolutely suppressed Xu Tianzhen in terms of martial spirit attributes.
Xu Tianzhen didn’t actually endure Huo Yuhao’s energy pressure for long, only about ten seconds in total, but she couldn’t help but kneel down in the trembling that ran through her soul, without any room for resistance. Although the terrifying pressure was quickly restrained under Huo Yuhao’s control, Xu Tianzhen, who was immersed in great fear, even forgot to stand up for a moment, and kept kneeling and shouted to Huo Yuhao: “How is it possible? The energy just now contained the ultimate light attribute, otherwise how could it have absolutely suppressed my Sun Martial Soul. Your Spirit Eyes and Ice Scorpion Martial Soul cannot have the ultimate light attribute. Do you have a third martial soul with the ultimate light attribute that we don’t know about?”
The Sun Spirit of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family is also a top-level spirit, and is even better than the Moon Spirit of Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. The flame quality of the Sun Spirit is not much different from the ultimate fire, but it can only be suppressed in front of Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice and snow. As for the other power of the Sun Spirit - the light attribute, it is ruthlessly crushed by the ultimate light attribute of the Death Spirit Saint Divine Spirit. The double absolute suppression of attributes made Xu Tianzhen completely unable to resist Huo Yuhao's pressure, just like a minister who could only surrender when meeting a king. In addition, Xu Tianzhen, who has not yet attached the sixth soul ring, is much weaker than Huo Yuhao in soul power cultivation, and he almost dares not even think of resisting.
You know, even the ultimate attributes still have differences in levels, take the ultimate ice and snow of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor as an example. Ice and snow have the same origin, both belong to the power of extreme cold. But the ultimate ice controlled by the Ice Emperor was not as good as the ultimate snow controlled by the Snow Emperor in terms of level. As long as the temperature of the ice and snow can be lower than the watershed of minus 150 degrees, it can be regarded as ultimate ice and snow, and the properties have achieved a qualitative change compared to ordinary ice and snow.
After reaching the level of extreme ice and snow, the lower the temperature of the ice and snow, the closer it is to absolute zero, and the more terrifying its power. The lowest temperature that the Ice Emperor could reach was about minus 220 degrees, and the lowest temperature that the Snow Emperor could reach was minus 235 degrees. However, this 15-degree difference in temperature was enough to prevent Huo Yuhao's Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial spirit from fusing with the Ice Snow Girl as a spirit ring under normal circumstances, just like the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm spirit bone could not be absorbed by a spirit master whose ice attribute level was not enough to reach the ultimate ice. If it were not for Alex's use of a specific spirit fusion method for the situation at the time, coupled with the superposition of special conditions such as the powerful control of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, the energy harmony of the Ten Thousand Years Snow Lotus, and the spiritual origin support of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao would never have been able to successfully fuse with the Snow Emperor's spirit.
The fusion of the Snow Emperor's soul made Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice transform again and evolve into Ultimate Ice and Snow. The extreme cold power of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor was perfectly combined in Huo Yuhao. The lowest temperature that Huo Yuhao could reach was also reduced from minus 220 degrees Celsius, the same as the Ice Emperor, to minus 243 degrees Celsius, even lower than the lowest temperature that the Snow Emperor could reach, and only a little more than 30 degrees away from absolute zero.
With the ultimate ice and snow that Huo Yuhao currently controls, it can completely suppress most of the ultimate ice and ultimate fire, just like Ma Xiaotao's phoenix flame can suppress most of the ordinary flames. The ultimate light attribute of Huo Yuhao's third martial soul, the Holy Death God, is basically equivalent to the absolute zero of the ice and snow attribute in terms of level, which can be said to be the ultimate of the extremes.
During his lifetime, Alex had even mastered the secret of turning adversity into fortune, which was to transform the ultimate light into the ultimate darkness, thus achieving the prestige of the Holy Death God. Although Huo Yuhao, who did not possess divine consciousness, was far from being able to master the secret of turning adversity into fortune, the origin of the Holy Death God's martial spirit was still at the same level as Alex's during his lifetime, and could suppress most of the ultimate light and ultimate darkness attributes.
Due to the above reasons, Huo Yuhao's two ultimate attributes are superior to general ultimate attributes at a specific level. The fire attribute and light attribute of Xu Tianzhen's sun martial soul are absolutely suppressed when facing Huo Yuhao, which is even more serious than the suppression that the earth dragon suffers when facing the real dragon.
As the foundation of a spirit master's cultivation, the trembling submission of the sun spirit made Xu Tianzhen herself feel the urge to submit to Huo Yuhao, which was why she was so easily suppressed by Huo Yuhao's pressure and fell to the ground. If it were a light attribute cultivator in the world before Alex's death, even if he still had to face the extreme light attribute suppression and fell into a passive state, he would never be as embarrassed as Xu Tianzhen.
Huo Yuhao had not expected that the Silver Moon Dragon Armor would cause the user's entire body energy to burst out unconsciously when it was fused. Even Huo Yuhao himself could not control it for a while, because even the mental power based on the Spirit Eye Martial Soul had been activated by the power of the silver dragon.
Huo Yuhao's three martial souls encompass two of the seven elements and the spiritual attributes of the silver dragon's essence, which makes Huo Yuhao and the Silver Moon Dragon Armor extremely compatible. Otherwise, Huo Yuhao's original essence and blood would not have been so easily integrated into the core of the Silver Moon Dragon Armor, and Huo Yuhao didn't even need to actively control the fusion process.
Huo Yuhao could only express his helplessness about revealing his third martial soul and the ultimate light attribute and forcing Princess Xu Tianzhen to kneel down. “Since Your Highness already knows, there is no need for me to hide anything. I do have a third martial soul that has never been revealed to anyone, and the power it bestows on me is the ultimate light.
It's just that everyone has their own secrets. As a soul master, it's understandable that I choose to hide my third martial soul as a trump card. I think His Majesty and my seniors wouldn't mind even if they knew. "
After Princess Xu Tianzhen confirmed that Huo Yuhao possessed a third martial soul, she stood there in a daze and muttered to herself, “How could such a thing be so incredible? In the recorded history of our Sun-Moon Empire, there have only been three people with twin martial souls. The first two died when they were adding high-level spirit rings to their second martial souls due to the conflict of martial souls. Elder Kong is the only person in the history of the empire who has cultivated a second martial soul with full spirit rings. As for the triple martial soul, there is no record of it in the history and legends of the entire continent. What’s more, the quality of each of your martial souls is so high that any one of them can make you beyond the scope of ordinary geniuses. No wonder, no wonder, so my behavior just now is not too embarrassing…”
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had already come to Princess Xu Tianzhen and tried to pull her up. After all, it was a bit unreasonable for a princess to kneel down and talk to him. Xu Tianzhen unexpectedly held Huo Yuhao's hand, forcing Huo Yuhao to hold Xu Tianzhen's snow-white and soft palm to pull her up.
Xu Tianzhen stared at Huo Yuhao with a burning gaze, her bright eyes flashing with excitement. Huo Yuhao couldn't help but murmur in his heart. He didn't know what Princess Xu Tianzhen was thinking, but it might not be that easy to deal with her without causing trouble for himself.
“Huo Yuhao, do you not want to reveal the fact that you have a third martial spirit? This princess can promise to keep it a secret for you. But the condition is that you have to tell me one more secret of yours. I believe you must have another one, and it is definitely not a small one.” After hearing Xu Tianzhen’s sudden words, Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: “Okay, as long as Your Highness can keep the secret of my third martial spirit for me, I don’t mind revealing other secrets to Your Highness. I do have a few secrets that are unknown to others, but this should be the biggest one.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao immediately released the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion spirit, and did not hide the number of spirit rings of the spirit, but disguised the Ice Emperor spirit ring to black, which corresponds to his current strength. In fact, Huo Yuhao's master had already speculated based on what Huo Yuhao said after returning to the academy after fusing with the Ice Emperor, that the first spirit ring of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion spirit was a natal spirit ring that was generated by chance, and Huo Yuhao's subsequent disguise change was just a matter of course after learning of his master's conjecture.
After the Ice Emperor's soul rings, the four orange-gold soul rings given by the Snow Emperor's soul rose from Huo Yuhao's feet. The unprecedented orange-gold soul rings shone with brilliant light, which made the Ice Emperor's soul rings disguised as black and ten thousand years old pale in comparison. At the same time, Huo Yuhao's body was covered with a layer of ice crystal armor, forming another layer of protection inside the Silver Moon Dragon Armor.
The Snow Queen's spirit emerged from Huo Yuhao's left chest, at the position of his heart, and transformed in front of him into a cute girl who looked nearly ten years old. Her expression was not as cold as usual, and she complained in a pitiful tone as soon as she appeared: "Yuhao, you finally let me out for once. Ever since you went to that Shrek Academy, I have been staying in your spiritual sea all day and was extremely bored. Later, because I had to take into account the few women around you, I didn't dare to let me out even when I returned to your Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. I miss the time when we were traveling on the mainland with Xiaoqing, Xiaoyou, Xiaohong and the others, and we could follow you unscrupulously to enjoy all kinds of food and appreciate the natural scenery. I don't care, you must let me out to play more often in the future, otherwise you won't be able to sleep every night."
Snow Queen knew that when she appeared in front of people as Huo Yuhao's soul, she must not put on the cold, arrogant, and condescending attitude of the past. Some of her characteristics were gradually formed due to her long-term rule over the Arctic Ice Field, and were unique to rulers. The temperament of a soul beast ruler, her humanoid posture, her extremely cold attributes, and the orange-gold soul ring given to Huo Yuhao, these information combined can easily make people with ulterior motives associate Snow Queen's true identity when she was alive. Huo Yuhao might be in trouble by then. However, the tone and posture of Snow Queen's soul when she appeared, which was like acting cute, still made Huo Yuhao a little overwhelmed for a while. After all, the contrast with her usual self was too great.
Before Huo Yuhao could react, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Ice Emperor, and Electrolux, who were originally in the same spiritual sea with Xue Di, were all shocked. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm burst into laughter after a moment of surprise, and Ice Di was surprised and did not forget to use the Ice Emperor's claws to swat the laughing Tianmeng Ice Silkworm away. Electrolux thought for a moment and then understood. He smiled and continued to observe the situation of Huo Yuhao and Xue Di outside the spiritual sea.
"Orange-gold soul ring! Is this girl your soul? But she is really cute. I wonder if she was in human form when she was alive or was able to transform into a human after being transformed into a soul?" Xu Tianzhen immediately came forward to take a close look at the Snow Emperor's soul, and even wanted to reach out and touch it, but the extremely cold aura emanating from the Snow Emperor made Xu Tianzhen a little hesitant, and he did not really do it.
The surprise Xu Tianzhen showed after seeing the Snow Empress spirit was not much less than when she found out that Huo Yuhao had the Three Lives spirit. Xu Tianzhen, who was eager to merge with the spirit, knew a lot about spirits. She could see that the four orange-gold spirit rings on Huo Yuhao were all given by the Snow Empress spirit. How high would the quality of the spirit on Huo Yuhao be if it could add four spirit rings to a spirit master, and it was an unprecedented orange-gold spirit ring? Xu Tianzhen even had an idea that if they really fought, this spirit in the form of a human girl might easily defeat her.
Although Huo Yuhao could not figure out Xue Di's intentions in a short period of time, he could only follow Xue Di's previous words with a normal expression, "How can I let you out every day when there are so many people around, especially in Shrek Academy. Our entire exchange group's every move is under the surveillance of the other party. If your existence is exposed and attracts the attention of some old monster, we will be in big trouble. But now that we have returned to Mingdu, it is not right to let you stay in the sea of spirits. It is still okay to let you out to play, but you must not toss around in my sea of spirits."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao reached out and stroked the head of the Snow Empress's soul, and took out several kinds of fruits from the storage soul guide and fed them to her, as if he was coaxing a child. Huo Yuhao explained to Xu Tianzhen who was still puzzled, “The original form of the Snow Girl is humanoid. You may have guessed her origin. She is a member of the race of the Snow Queen, the third of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts. As for the orange-gold soul ring she gave me, I guess it is because the Snow Girl’s cultivation level had broken through the bottleneck of 200,000 years before her death, which is equivalent to the Super Douluo among us humans. Compared with ordinary 100,000-year soul beasts, it has undergone another qualitative change. In addition, the fusion of souls is different from hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings. This eventually formed an orange-gold soul ring outside the normal soul ring sequence. As for how we met and why the Snow Girl merged with me, that is another secret. I’m sorry I can’t tell you. Please keep the existence of the Snow Girl a secret for me. In addition, to make up for the previous inadvertent offense to Her Royal Highness, I am willing to consume the energy of the Blade of Life Watch once again to baptize you with life. I believe this is what Your Majesty expects.”
Although they had not met for a long time, Huo Yuhao could still sense that the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire's love for Princess Tian Zhen was absolutely genuine and not false. Thinking of the many rumors about the struggles in the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, Huo Yuhao felt that perhaps it was because of the princes' struggle for power that the emperor could not really trust them. In comparison, the family relationship between the emperor and Princess Tian Zhen was undoubtedly purer. The reason why Princess Tian Zhen was so favored was also due to the support of her brothers.
Xu Tianzhen watched Huo Yuhao coax her again and again and then take the Snow Queen soul back into his body, then remove the martial soul and take off the Silver Moon Dragon Armor and put it back into the special space on the storage belt. Xu Tianzhen, who had witnessed Huo Yuhao's many miracles in a short period of time, felt a throbbing in his heart. Just when Huo Yuhao put away the Silver Moon Dragon Armor and looked at Xu Tianzhen again, Princess Tianzhen suddenly took two steps and came to Huo Yuhao and stared at him back and forth. Just when Huo Yuhao was a little scared by Xu Tianzhen's gaze, Xu Tianzhen gradually withdrew his serious scrutiny and his expression returned to his usual lively and agile self.
Then, in less than three seconds, Xu Tianzhen smiled and said, "Yuhao, can you let me be the woman by your side? Before I met you, no one, not even my brother, could make me want to rely on you or even submit to you. And I have learned at least two important secrets about you. It is safest to keep a woman who knows your secrets by your side, right? After realizing your perversion, I am afraid that I will never look down on other men in this life. If you are unwilling to accept me, I will also torment you like your soul and make you unable to sleep, just like this method..." As he said that, Xu Tianzhen grabbed Huo Yuhao's head and pulled him towards him and stood on tiptoe. The two bodies quickly moved closer under Xu Tianzhen's actions...
Chapter 372 Fire Attribute and Light Attribute
Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianzhen stayed in the cold palace for more than three hours before returning to the palace. In the evening, they came to the emperor's bedroom to bid farewell and leave the palace. The emperor of the Sun Moon Empire found that from early morning to dusk, Princess Xu Tianzhen's eyes became more crystal clear, and her whole body was filled with strong vitality. Even the energy that was faintly dissipated was several times stronger than usual.
It can be called a miracle that such changes and improvements can occur when Princess Xu Tianzhen has not yet attached her sixth soul ring and cannot break through the bottleneck. The person who created the miracle is undoubtedly Huo Yuhao.
In the secret place of the cold palace, Huo Yuhao not only used the Blade of the Living Guardian to infuse Xu Tianzhen with vitality to nourish and cleanse her body inside and out, but also used the power of the ultimate light attribute to purify and eliminate the remaining impurities in her body when Xu Tianzhen fell into deep meditation.
It can be said that the benefits Xu Tianzhen gained this time were much greater than those obtained by Xiao Hongchen and others in the past. The reasons were not complicated. One was due to the awakening and evolution of Huo Yuhao's Holy Undead Divine Soul, and the power of ultimate light was developed for Huo Yuhao to control.
Xu Tianzhen's special situation also allowed Huo Yuhao to do more things. Purifying and removing impurities from Xu Tianzhen's body was simple to say, but the actual operation was extremely delicate and no mistakes could be made.
This meant that Huo Yuhao had to use mental detection to observe in depth and detail all the conditions and changes inside Xu Tianzhen's body. This was much more serious than having the surface of the body seen by the opposite sex, but Xu Tianzhen didn't care at all and was even a little excited to ask Huo Yuhao to be responsible for her.
Xu Tianzhen's Sun Spirit possesses the attributes of fire and light, which means that Xu Tianzhen's constitution will at least partially lean towards light, and the effect of the ultimate light energy on her body will undoubtedly be better. Xu Tianzhen is completely defenseless against Huo Yuhao, which also allows Huo Yuhao to do whatever he wants when she is immersed in a deep state of meditation, and use the ultimate light energy to help her digest and integrate the pure vitality infused into her body by the Blade of Lifeguard.
With the combination of multiple factors, Xu Tianzhen's physique has undergone tremendous changes after the transformation led by Huo Yuhao, and his potential has risen to a new level, roughly equivalent to that of Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy.
The emperor was delighted with the overall improvement in Princess Tianzhen's strength and potential, and he told her to calm down and practice for a few days to digest what she had gained today. After a brief chat, he let Xu Tianzhen and Huo Yuhao leave the palace and return to their respective academies. On the way, Xu Tianzhen agreed to meet Huo Yuhao again in seven days.
Due to the introduction of sect teams, the name of this competition held by the Sun-Moon Empire was eventually changed to the Continental Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition, and participating teams from all over the continent rushed to Mingdu one after another.
Similar to the previous competition held in Xingluo City, the Sun Moon Empire also set aside a hotel for the participating teams to stay and rest. The Mingyue Hotel is even more luxurious and comfortable than the Xinghuang Hotel in Xingluo City. It is also located close to the city center of Mingdu, not far from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor College, Mingdu Soul Instructor College, and the Central Imperial City.
Huo Yuhao, Xu Tianzhen, Meng Hongchen, and Xiao Hongchen gathered at the appointed time and came to the lobby of Mingyue Hotel. The registration office for this competition was set up in the middle of the lobby. However, whether it was the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy or the Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy, it was not necessary for Xiao Hongchen or Xu Tianzhen, the team captains, to come and register in person. The purpose of Huo Yuhao and others coming here, in Xu Tianzhen's words, was to scout the enemy. In particular, the relevant situations of the Shrek Academy team and several top sect teams needed special attention.
Xu Tianzhen's appearance did not make Meng Hongchen feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. Although she and Xu Tianzhen were not familiar with each other, they had met several times since childhood. Meng Hongchen had long known that Jing Hongchen and Huo Yuhao had come to the palace to meet the emperor, and she had even anticipated the acquaintance of Huo Yuhao and Princess Xu Tianzhen. What she did not expect was that the relationship between Xu Tianzhen and Huo Yuhao would develop so quickly. However, thinking of Xu Tianzhen's impetuous personality and firm and decisive execution, Meng Hongchen was surprised for a while, but she soon felt relieved.
After reaching the tangible and intangible spiritual realm, Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection ability evolved again. Not only the detection range and accuracy have been improved, but it also has stronger concealment.
Even an 8th-ring Soul Douluo-level warrior like Ling Xinyue, whose martial soul has spiritual attributes, could not detect Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection. Unless there was an Extreme Douluo or a Spiritual Titled Douluo who had reached the tangible spiritual realm within Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection range, it would be impossible to detect the spiritual detection and trace the source.
However, out of caution, before the formal detection, Huo Yuhao still used a simple scanning method to confirm whether there were any strong people in Mingrui Hotel who were capable of detecting spiritual detection. As expected, there were none. Putting aside the Extreme Douluo, there were no Titled Douluo of the Spiritual System among the famous strong people on the continent. Even if there were Titled Douluo of the Spiritual System, they might not be able to reach the tangible and material spiritual realm, because the tangible and material spiritual realm is no different from a stepping stone to the Super Douluo realm for the Titled Douluo of the Spiritual System.
After fully opening the spiritual detection, Huo Yuhao controlled the scope of the spiritual detection to shrink to Mingyue Hotel, covering all floors of Mingyue Hotel. Even the underground floors of Mingyue Hotel were no exception. The blocking effect of the walls, ceilings and ground on spiritual detection was minimal.
Xu Tianzhen, who was experiencing the sharing of spiritual detection for the first time, looked at Huo Yuhao with admiration, while Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were much calmer. However, their attention was quickly focused on the top floor of Mingyue Hotel, where the eight strongest teams in this competition lived, and the Shrek Academy team, the champion of the previous competition, was undoubtedly among them.
Although Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection can instantly get a glimpse of the whole picture, there are many people in Mingyue Hotel and the relevant information is very complicated. It is necessary to grasp certain key points and observe them in detail one by one.
Huo Yuhao knew most of the people in the Shrek Academy team's residence, including the two Soul Emperors Xu Sanshi and He Caitou, and the four Soul King-level inner courtyard students Ning Tian, Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue, and Dai Huabin. Huo Yuhao did not know the other two men and three women, who were probably elites from the outer courtyard who had not yet entered the inner courtyard. Strangely, Bei Bei, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong, who were supposed to be there, lived in an ordinary room on the second floor of Mingyue Hotel. Even Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, was there. She should have come to Mingdu as the leader of the Shrek Academy team. The reason why she left the Shrek Academy team's residence and stayed with Bei Bei and others was clearly revealed in the spiritual detection.
Beibei was seriously injured and was lying on the bed receiving the careful care of Zhang Lexuan. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao stood beside him with worried faces. The other people in the room were all young spirit masters who looked less than 20 years old. These people were undoubtedly another participating team independent of the Shrek Academy team. As for the purpose of participating in this competition, Huo Yuhao guessed that it was the Tang Sect where Beibei and Tang Ya were.
Not only Huo Yuhao, but even Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen quickly guessed the reason why Beibei and the others formed another team, which was to represent their own sect in the competition. Xiao Hongchen sneered, "Shrek Academy has a good plan. Knowing that forming the Shrek Sect on its own will only cause controversy, it plans to support and control the sect that Beibei and the others belong to as the spokesperson of Shrek Academy, absorbing the current and graduated students of Shrek Academy to gradually grow stronger. Compared with organizing and developing their own sect power, giving up the victory of this competition is just a small matter. It seems that they want to use this competition to make the sect famous. It's a pity that Beibei was injured for some reason, and the others, except Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, are just four-ring players who are used to make up the numbers. Hey, why does Teacher Zhang Lexuan look at Beibei like that...?"
Although Xiao Hongchen didn't know that Beibei was from the Tang Sect, his analysis of the problem was actually very reasonable. Whether Shrek Academy supported the Tang Sect or established a new sect, it was essentially expanding its power. Compared with this action of Shrek Academy, Beibei's injury and Zhang Lexuan's special attitude towards him were not so important.
Just when Huo Yuhao was about to investigate Beibei's injuries in detail, a man and a woman suddenly appeared in the range of Huo Yuhao's mental detection. To be precise, they walked into the lobby of the first floor of Mingrui Hotel from outside.
Neither Huo Yuhao nor Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen informed the others in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy of this reconnaissance operation. However, Ling Xinyue and Ye Yulin could guess the reason why Huo Yuhao and his companions came to the Mingyue Hotel, but they did not expect that Princess Xu Tianzhen from the Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy would also join the operation, and they did not expect that two groups of people with completely different purposes would meet in the lobby of the Mingrui Hotel by chance.
Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianzhen took the initiative to come forward and greet Ling Xinyue and Ye Yulin. Ling Xinyue and Ye Yulin also greeted Princess Xu Tianzhen out of courtesy.
After asking, Huo Yuhao and others found out the purpose of Ling Xinyue and Ye Yulin's visit, which was to discuss the sale of soul guides, and the parties they were negotiating with were the Xingluo Empire and the Tianhun Empire.
Just as Ling Xinyue had introduced, before they completely fell out, even the three kingdoms of Sun Moon, Xingluo, and Tianhun, which had constant border conflicts, could exchange what they had and conduct various transactions, either overt or covert. The sale of soul guides and rare metals was an important means for the Sun Moon Empire to amass wealth. The Xingluo Empire and Tianhun Empire were backward in soul guide research, so they knew that trading soul guides with the Sun Moon Empire was like courting disaster, but they had to do it.
"Speaking of which, the Xingluo Empire's negotiating representative this time is Princess Xu Jiujiu whom we met before. It was also she who led the Xingluo National Academy team to Mingdu. The Tianhun Empire's negotiating representative is Princess Vina of the Tianhun Empire, and the participating team she belongs to is called the Snow Demon Sect Team. According to the prior agreement, the three of us will discuss the soul guide transaction at the residence of the Xingluo National Academy team. You all should come with us to take a look, which can be regarded as gaining experience. Princess Xu Jiujiu and Princess Vina are not simple characters. However, in terms of cultivation talent, Her Royal Highness Princess Tianzhen should have some advantages." Ling Xinyue obviously knew Xu Tianzhen and knew something about her. She knew that Xu Tianzhen was not good at scheming and intrigue, but her appreciation of Xu Tianzhen's talent was not false.
Ye Yulin had no objection to Ling Xinyue's arrangement. Huo Yuhao and others would become high-ranking figures in the Sun-Moon Empire sooner or later. It was not impossible to concentrate on practicing and researching soul guides, but if one wanted to become a leading figure in the development of a country, the ability to negotiate transactions was essential.
Huo Yuhao had already withdrawn his spiritual detection when he saw Ling Xinyue and Ye Yulin, but before that, Princess Xu Jiujiu or the location of Xingluo National Academy had already caught Huo Yuhao's attention. Xingluo National Academy was one of the top four teams in the last competition, but was not able to stay in the top guest rooms. This meant that the Sun Moon Empire officials believed that the strength of the Xingluo National Academy team could not be ranked in the top eight teams in this competition.
The Xingluo Empire was known as the second most powerful country on the continent, and it was ironic that the Xingluo National Academy, which represented the face of the country, had fallen to this point. Although Huo Yuhao had not had time to investigate and perceive it in detail, he could roughly infer that there should be no Soul Emperor-level players in the Xingluo National Academy team. Not to mention challenging the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, even the Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy with Xu Tianzhen in charge would be difficult to defeat.
Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Xu Tianzhen followed Ling Xinyue and Ye Yulin to the Xingluo National Academy team residence on the seventh floor of Mingyue Hotel. Princess Xu Jiujiu and Princess Vina had been waiting for a long time. Although they had known each other for many years, they were in competition during the negotiation. Huo Yuhao had seen Princess Xu Jiujiu more than once, but Princess Vina beside him aroused Huo Yuhao's strong curiosity. Because he clearly felt that the energy aura of Princess Vina was somewhat similar to his own.
Princess Vina's facial lines were extremely soft, and her eyes were flowing, revealing a kind of delicate and pitiful beauty. After noticing Huo Yuhao's prying eyes, Vina looked directly into Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes without avoiding him. The invisible spiritual energy in the fluctuations turned into a deep vortex, trying to involve and shake Huo Yuhao's spirit.
Huo Yuhao's eyes fixed, and his heavy spiritual aura fluctuated, as if a sleeping prehistoric beast had awakened and roared. Princess Vina felt as if lightning had exploded in her mind, and her originally concentrated spiritual power was instantly shattered. Her pretty face turned pale, and her body swayed. She took a half step back before she could barely stand firm.
Princess Vina was horrified by the complete crushing in the spiritual realm. The simple test just now convinced her that Huo Yuhao's spiritual power was at least two levels higher than hers. However, Huo Yuhao's cultivation was only similar to hers, and he was a few years younger. Princess Vina's self-confidence in her original vow to bring glory to the Heavenly Soul Empire was immediately hit hard.
The other people present had naturally discovered the secret rivalry between Huo Yuhao and Vina, and the result was that Vina was clearly at a disadvantage, but Princess Vina's actions were enough to show that she was by no means as weak as she appeared.
Ling Xinyue was most aware of the confrontation between Huo Yuhao and Vina. She smiled casually and introduced them, “Hello, Princess Jiujiu and Princess Vina. They are the three main players of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team—Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Huo Yuhao. The one behind is the captain of the Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy team, the youngest daughter of our emperor, Princess Tianzhen.
We just happened to meet these four people on our way here. They heard that Senior Brother Ye and I were coming to meet the two princesses, so they insisted on coming over to see us. We had no choice but to let them be. I hope you won't blame us for taking the initiative to bring them here."
Princess Tianzhen of the Sun Moon Empire? Xu Jiujiu quickly looked at Xu Tianzhen who was following behind Huo Yuhao, and suddenly found that Xu Tianzhen's soul power was extremely pure and condensed, and there was a sense of fullness that was about to overflow. Obviously, her soul power level had reached an integer bottleneck, and there was still a lot of accumulation. But now that the competition was approaching, why didn't she, as the captain of the team, add soul rings in time to break through?
Princess Vina noticed Xu Tianzhen's strength the moment she saw him. Unlike most soul masters who rely on drugs to forcibly increase their soul power, Xu Tianzhen's soul power is smooth and natural, and he can control the violent and abnormal fire energy perfectly. After obtaining the sixth soul ring, his strength is likely to exceed that of a soul emperor of the same level.
After Princess Xu Jiujiu and Princess Vina learned of Xu Tianzhen's identity, they immediately stepped forward to greet each other and said a few polite words expressing their wish for more friendly diplomatic relations between their countries. Then they got down to business and began formally negotiating the terms of the transaction.
