In the lobby of the Xingluo National Academy team's residence, the three forces took their seats in triangular positions. Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Xingluo Empire and Princess Vina of the Tianhun Empire both proposed to purchase soul guides in large quantities, especially custom-made soul guides and high-quality soul guides produced by Mingde Hall.

As soon as Princess Xu Jiujiu proposed to buy the soul guides produced by Mingde Hall at a high price, Ling Xinyue couldn't help but recall that during the last competition, she had used a large number of soul guides produced by Mingde Hall as collateral to buy 100,000-year soul beast embryos. Given the relationship between the Xingguang Auction House and the Xingluo Empire's royal family, those soul guides produced by Mingde Hall would inevitably be sent to the Xingluo Empire's soul guide research institute.

However, Mingde Hall has always done a good job of keeping its technology secret, and it is basically impossible for the Xingluo Empire to plagiarize and imitate any core technology. To this day, Ling Xinyue has long understood that the real purpose of the Xingguang Auction House to auction the 100,000-year soul beast embryo is to lure the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Although the Xingluo Empire's plot did not succeed, the 100,000-year soul beast embryo still caused a lot of trouble for Mingde Hall and Jing Hongchen. It is an ironclad fact that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was tricked by the Xingluo Empire.

At this moment, a familiar feeling appeared in Ling Xinyue's mind. Huo Yuhao passed an important piece of information he discovered to Ling Xinyue through his spiritual thoughts. Ling Xinyue remained calm on the surface, but her mood suddenly became very bad. In the subsequent negotiations, she used various reasons to shirk and refused to sell the soul guides produced by Mingde Hall to the Tianhun Empire and Xingluo Empire. Even the soul guide transaction that she finally agreed to had to be paid in installments within three years. Princess Xu Jiujiu and Princess Vina looked a little unhappy after signing the transaction agreement.

Chapter 373 The Body Sect is Reborn

After Huo Yuhao and the others left the Mingyue Hotel, Ye Yulin asked doubtfully, “Junior Sister, isn’t this deal a bit too conservative? The price offered by the other party is not low, and the quantity purchased is also extremely large. Didn’t you say before that Mingde Hall consumed a lot of resources in the reconstruction after the attack on the Body Sect, and now needs to replenish them through soul guide transactions?”

Ling Xinyue said unhappily, "The Body Sect, that Princess Vina of the Sky Soul Empire is probably an important figure in the Body Sect. Although Princess Xu Jiujiu and Princess Vina were bidding against each other when negotiating the deal, they always agreed on issues such as not being able to directly barter. I guess they should have a good personal relationship. The series of events caused by the 100,000-year soul beast embryo were probably secretly promoted by the Xingluo Empire, and the Sky Soul Empire colluded with the Body Sect. These guys are ultimately targeting our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and the Sun Moon Empire."

What? Ye Yulin was startled at first, then he thought of the brief confrontation between Huo Yuhao and Vina, so he turned his head and looked at Huo Yuhao with a questioning look.

Huo Yuhao said in a positive tone: "Princess Vina is also the owner of twin martial souls. Her twin martial souls are very similar to mine. When my mental power collided with hers, I felt that her brain and spiritual sea were completely solid. Even if a trace of mental power barely penetrated into it, it only caused a slight mental shock, and then was quickly resolved by her mental instinct. Therefore, I inferred that she should have a brain martial soul, and it is very likely that she has completed the second awakening of her body martial soul. When she showed hostility towards me, my Extreme Ice Martial Soul also sensed that there was an ice and snow attribute martial soul in her body, but the attribute strength was still far from that of Extreme Ice."

While everyone else was thinking about what Huo Yuhao said, Xu Tianzhen curled his lips with some disdain and said, “Compared to Yuhao, Princess Vina’s talent doesn’t seem that terrible. Vina’s twin martial souls are indeed similar to Yuhao’s in attributes, but there is still a gap in level. Yuhao definitely has the advantage in acquired development. I heard from my father that Yuhao relied on many times of enlightenment and deep meditation to overcome the difficulties of extreme martial soul training and reach his current level. If Princess Vina really competes with Yuhao in the competition, the loss she will suffer will definitely not be just like what she suffered just now.”

Ling Xinyue nodded in agreement and said, "Princess Tianzhen is right. Yuhao's martial spirit talent and comprehension are not comparable to Princess Vina's, but we must now be vigilant against the alliance between the Body Sect and the Sky Soul Empire. The Snow Demon Sect team that Princess Vina is in is actually probably the team organized by the Body Sect. Vina, as a princess of a country with twin martial spirits, did not represent the Royal Academy, but inexplicably joined the so-called Snow Demon Sect team. There are only a handful of sects on the continent that are qualified for Princess Vina to join. Coupled with her body martial spirit brain, I am at least 70% sure that the Snow Demon Sect is the Body Sect. I didn't expect that the Sky Soul Empire still has such a big trump card hidden. Maybe Princess Vina is the bridge between the royal family of the Sky Soul Empire and the Body Sect."

After this analysis, both Ling Xinyue and Ye Yulin looked solemn. The Body Sect was one of the three major forces that could be ranked alongside the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy and the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. With the number and quality of soul masters gathered in the Body Sect, once they really came out and united with the Heavenly Soul Empire, they would pose a huge threat to the Sun Moon Empire.

Looking at Ling Xinyue and Ye Yulin who were frowning, Xiao Hongchen hesitated for a moment before telling them everything he had discovered about Shrek Academy. Ling Xinyue and Ye Yulin came to the same conclusion about the abnormal situation at Shrek Academy as Xiao Hongchen had, and their expressions inevitably became even more worried.

"The Body Sect is unwilling to be lonely and has re-emerged, Shrek Academy is supporting the sect to expand its power, and those people are becoming more and more blatant. With so many unstable factors gathered together, it seems that we must also speed up our preparations, don't you think so, Senior Brother?" Ling Xinyue's tone at this time was mixed with solemnity and worry. After hearing this, Ye Yulin lowered his head and thought for a while, then responded: "Junior Sister, what you said makes sense. We must report these situations to the teacher in a timely manner. I hope that the major forces within the empire will not lose their composure and can reach a unified opinion to deal with this change."

After deciding on the next course of action, Ling Xinyue and Ye Yulin quickly separated from Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Xu Tianzhen. Before leaving, they reminded them not to reveal anything they knew or guessed.

After Ling Xinyue and Ye Yulin left, Xu Tianzhen took Huo Yuhao away alone, saying that he wanted to make some preparations with him about the soul fusion. Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen knew that Xu Tianzhen's purpose was not that simple, but they could only helplessly watch Xu Tianzhen and Huo Yuhao gradually move away from their sight.

Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianzhen finally came to a private garden in the suburbs of Mingdu. It was said that it was one of the properties confiscated by the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire when he eliminated a hostile noble family. Later, it was given to the youngest daughter, Princess Tianzhen, to live and enjoy. Because Xu Tianzhen often bathed and played in a small lake deep in the garden, no one was allowed to approach the entire garden. Only a few palace maids would come to clean and maintain it at a fixed time every month.

After arriving at the shore of the small lake, Huo Yuhao released the Snow Emperor Soul at Xu Tianzhen's urging. In addition, there was a ground dragon-type soul beast with red scales that was called over by Xu Tianzhen. This soul beast was also the object of Xu Tianzhen's soul fusion, a red-gold dragon with a cultivation base of nearly 40,000 years.

As the emperor's favorite youngest daughter, Xu Tianzhen knew about the existence of souls very early. It was a pity that it was too difficult to find a high-level soul beast that was suitable for her and would voluntarily cooperate with the fusion of souls.

In addition, the All-Continent Senior Youth Soul Master Elite Competition was approaching, so Xu Tianzhen finally went to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings under the protection of several high-level soul masters. The target of hunting at that time was the red-gold dragon. Although its dragon bloodline was not pure, it was mixed with the bloodline of the fire dragon and the extremely rare and thin gold dragon. The nearly 40,000 years of cultivation was just right for Xu Tianzhen, who had two soul bones. Just when the accompanying high-level soul masters were about to launch a collective attack, Xu Tianzhen suddenly stopped everyone and went forward to negotiate with the red-gold dragon.

Under the temptation of several natural treasures and the threat of life and death crisis, Red Golden Dragon finally agreed to a one-on-one duel with Xu Tianzhen without harming each other's life. If Red Golden Dragon wins, he can take the bet and leave safely, but if he loses, he must voluntarily merge his soul with Xu Tianzhen. Before the battle, Xu Tianzhen and Red Golden Dragon swore an oath with their martial souls and dragon bloodlines respectively. The Red Golden Dragon, who has reached the ten thousand year level, has awakened his spiritual intelligence. Although he cannot speak human language, he can still communicate with Xu Tianzhen and complete the subsequent oaths. Originally, Red Golden Dragon thought he had won the battle, but it was a pity that it did not understand a rule that human soul masters and soul guides often use in duels - fixed soul guides are not allowed to be used.

Xu Tianzhen looked innocent and had no scheming on the surface, but how could she not have known the art of power and deception since she was a child, having lived in the big dye vat of the imperial family. Compared with her, Hong Jinlong seemed simple. Soon after the decisive battle began, he was bruised all over by Xu Tianzhen's fixed soul guide, and immediately agreed to admit defeat after Xu Tianzhen stopped attacking.

The most well-known of the fixed-type soul guides is undoubtedly the fixed-type soul guide shells, but the danger of making fixed-type soul guide shells is too high, and the emperor strictly forbids Xu Tianzhen to try to make them. The fixed-type soul guides that Xu Tianzhen used to deal with the Red Golden Dragon were a set of fire-attributed flying swords that she made herself. When used, the hilt of the sword explodes to generate a powerful propulsion force and shoots at the enemy at high speed. After attacking the enemy, it quickly dissolves and penetrates into the enemy's body through the wound to cause damage. After being hit by several flying swords, the Red Golden Dragon's combat power was greatly reduced after a large amount of fire-attributed metal solution entered its body.

Xu Tianzhen took out another set of spherical soul guides and threatened the red-gold dragon fiercely before attacking. The red-gold dragon was frightened and quickly prostrated on the ground to surrender. Xu Tianzhen then happily ordered people to imprison it and bring it back to the suburban garden where she lived. After asking the emperor for permission, she prepared to wait for Huo Yuhao to come back and perform soul fusion for her.

Huo Yuhao was grilling fish for the Snow Emperor Soul and Xu Tianzhen while listening to Xu Tianzhen's story about the Red Golden Dragon. The Red Golden Dragon was salivating at the aroma, but unfortunately, compared to its huge body and mouth, the meat of the grilled fish could only be used to fill its teeth, and it couldn't taste much. The Snow Emperor Soul even glared at the Red Golden Dragon inadvertently, scaring it so much that it immediately crawled on the spot and dared not move at all.

Seeing the cute look of the Snow Empress Soul while enjoying the food, Xu Tianzhen couldn't help but hold the Snow Empress Soul in her arms and feed her the juice she prepared. At this time, the Snow Empress was looking at Huo Yuhao who was grilling fish with a gentle expression. Unexpectedly, she did not resist and even took the initiative to restrain the coldness emanating from her body. This attracted a burst of praise from Xu Tianzhen. Perhaps in her eyes, the Snow Empress Soul in her arms was like a girl who suddenly became well-behaved and sensible.

When Huo Yuhao released the Snow Empress spirit when he first met Xu Tianzhen, he discovered that the Snow Empress's disguised temperament was indeed not as usual, but her desire to go out and play was genuine. After that, Huo Yuhao would enter the garden next to his residence where various natural treasures were planted every day, release the Snow Empress spirit and feed her fish and birds grilled on the spot, as well as spiritual fruit juice and other foods. There were only a few fellow disciples in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy who were qualified to enter the garden to practice, and Huo Yuhao had been maintaining simulations and mental detection to prevent anyone from entering, so no one in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy could discover the existence of the Snow Empress spirit.

Xue Di originally said that she didn't need to go through so much trouble, but when she was able to go out to play, she didn't refuse. Instead, she enjoyed the food and the surrounding environment. However, in comparison, the garden where Xu Tianzhen lived was quiet and far away from people, and no one dared to approach, which made Huo Yuhao and Xue Di completely relax. Xu Tianzhen even suggested that he and Xue Di go into the water to play together, but the Xue Di soul hit his head hard with his fingers, and he didn't really take off his clothes because of the pain. However, Xu Tianzhen still hugged Xue Di with a satisfied expression. I don't know if the cute human girl appearance of the Xue Di soul aroused her hidden maternal instinct.

“Yuhao, the little Snow Girl is so adorable, have you ever held her in your arms? If I had such a cute soul in the form of a human girl, I would definitely hold her in my arms to sleep every day.” Xu Tianzhen stroked the Snow Empress soul in her arms and asked Huo Yuhao, who was sitting next to her after finishing the barbecue.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, the little Snow Girl is a girl after all. We are just partners in battle, not blood relatives. How can I hug her?" At this point, Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered that the situation when he merged with the Snow Empress was completely different from the normal soul fusion. Electrolux specially designed a whole set of unusual fusion methods for the special situation of the Snow Empress and Huo Yuhao. One of the links was to merge Huo Yuhao's blood essence into the Snow Empress's origin snow pill, which means that the current Snow Empress soul is likely to have Huo Yuhao's blood.

Xu Tianzhen said in confusion: "Why can't I hold her if she's not a blood relative? The relationship between a soul and a host is closer than the blood relationship between direct relatives. What's wrong with holding her to coax or feed her? Little Snow Girl, don't you think so?"

Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress's pretty face actually turned slightly red. After looking into Huo Yuhao's eyes, she slowly nodded.

Seeing this, Xu Tianzhen quickly handed the little snow girl in his arms to Huo Yuhao and said, "Don't just stand there, hug the little snow girl and communicate with her. Don't let her stay in your body all day, otherwise it will be your fault if she makes her sad."

Huo Yuhao looked at the delicate and lovely face of the Snow Empress Soul and her beautiful figure that perfectly matched the golden ratio. He couldn't help but feel a closeness from the bottom of his heart and blood, and subconsciously took the Snow Empress Soul from Xu Tianzhen. The next moment, the Snow Empress Soul took the initiative to move into Huo Yuhao's arms, and hugged Huo Yuhao's neck and kissed him hard on the cheek. Before letting go of her lips, she stretched out her tongue to lick Huo Yuhao's facial skin. A gentle and deep thought instantly resounded through Huo Yuhao's brain, the sea of ​​​​spirituality, and the depths of his soul: "Yuhao, please love me well, and I will love you forever."

Seeing this, Xu Tianzhen immediately asked the little snow girl to kiss her like she had just kissed Huo Yuhao. The emotions of the Snow Empress' soul were disturbed, and she glared back at Xu Tianzhen fiercely, but she could not stop Xu Tianzhen's enthusiasm at all. The red-gold dragon that was eating the roasted whole cow also glanced at Huo Yuhao, the Snow Empress, and Xu Tianzhen from time to time, but after being glanced at by the Snow Empress, it no longer dared to move its head and eyes, and began to enjoy the food in front of it wholeheartedly.

The competition stage for the All-Continent Senior Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition was set up in the eastern suburbs of Mingdu. The competition stage was cylindrical in shape and nearly ten meters high. The top circular plane used for the competition had a diameter of more than one hundred meters, reflecting a silvery-white metallic light. One could imagine how huge a project it would be to build this competition stage. But if it was compared to a certain spire-shaped building next to it, it would inevitably feel a bit dwarfed by a giant.

The entire spire was wrapped in layers of black curtains, and no one could see the specific decoration style. Most people present had no way of guessing the purpose of this building, but its grand architectural specifications alone were enough to attract the attention of the crowds who came to watch the competition.

The entire spire is about 50 meters high and covers an area of ​​more than 30,000 square meters. In front of it, a large area of ​​open space has been cleared to form a huge square with the competition stage as the center. Compared with this building, even the competition stage of the All-Continent Senior Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition can only be regarded as a foil or an accessory.

Chapter 374: Strange Spire-Shaped Building

Whether it was the competition venue or the spire-shaped building, during the construction and layout, the surrounding areas were strictly sealed off by the Sun-Moon Empire officials, and outsiders had no way of knowing their specific regulations. But everyone present knew that the Sun-Moon Empire had spent a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to build the magnificent spire-shaped building near the competition venue, and there must be a deep intention. I believe that the Sun-Moon Empire officials will reveal the answer to everyone soon.

Just as the crowd around the stadium was puzzled, a series of clear and loud chirping sounds suddenly came from behind the spire-shaped building. Then, hundreds of birds in red, blue, gold, black, and white appeared in the distant sky and quickly flew towards the stadium.

If it were just ordinary birds, even if there were hundreds or thousands of them at the same time, they would not be taken seriously by the many soul masters present. However, although the approaching birds were slightly illusory, they all had obvious soul power fluctuations. What was even more bizarre was that there were humans standing on their backs. To be precise, they were members of the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Guidance Group, and each of them was equipped with a complete set of sophisticated soul guides.

Five hundred birds carrying five hundred soul masters were surrounding the spire-shaped building. The high-level soul masters present had already realized that the birds were not real soul beasts, and their bodies were completely condensed from energy. However, each bird's eyes were shining with a lively light, not like a pure energy body without any mind, but like a living life. Many soul masters who knew more about soul beasts had already recognized the prototype soul beasts of these birds, and realized that they must be special life forms transformed from soul beasts, but they had never heard of any precedent before.

After the soul guide group riding on strange flying birds appeared, hundreds of cavalrymen surrounded a large group of carriages and horses and marched towards the spire-shaped building. At the front of the convoy was the emperor's golden dragon chariot.

The cavalrymen who were responsible for escorting the group were not riding on any precious horses, but on strange life forms similar to birds in the sky, including cows, horses, wolves, pigs, deer and other species. However, no one dared to laugh at the ridiculous appearance of this cavalry, because the power emanated by these mounts and the soul masters who rode them was far beyond the reach of any known cavalry team.

The cavalry escorted the emperor, the crown prince, and the ministers of the Sun-Moon Empire to a grandstand in front of the giant spire. A beautiful woman in a golden dress pushed a golden wooden wheelchair out of the dragon chariot. The person sitting in the wheelchair was undoubtedly the current emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire, and the person responsible for pushing the wheelchair and moving the emperor was the emperor's youngest daughter, Princess Tianzhen.

Xu Tianzhen pushed the wheelchair through a special passage and climbed onto the imperial viewing platform. The emperor, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and raised his hand to signal Princess Tianzhen who was standing beside him.

After receiving the emperor's instructions, Xu Tianzhen raised his right hand. A beam of fire shot up into the sky and exploded at the same height as the giant spire. The red sparks swept over an area of ​​more than ten feet around, and were still extremely eye-catching even in the daytime.

The next moment, among the 500 birds in the sky, one with red feathers and flames all over its body opened its mouth and spit out a red fireball at the same time, hitting the black curtain wrapped around the surface of the giant spire. The flames burned and spread, and the black curtain instantly turned into smoke and dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the giant spire building.

The tower is divided into ten floors, and each floor has a pattern carved on its outer wall. The images of these patterns are enough to make anyone who has relevant knowledge react immediately. Because those patterns depict the ten most ferocious beasts on the continent ranked by humans, they are:

Golden-eyed Black Dragon King——Emperor Tian

The Evil Eye Tyrant Lord——Evil Emperor

Snow Queen - Snow Queen

Emerald Swan - Brigitte

Demon Eye Demon Tree - King of All Demons

Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear——Bear King

Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion - Ice Emperor

Three-headed red devil mastiff - Red King

Dark Water Phoenix - Phantom

Hell Dragon - Ziji

Any country will first apply a key technology to the military field after mastering it. Huo Yuhao has only just realized the true meaning of this sentence. It should be noted that it has only been less than three years since the first soul fusion experiment, and the Sun Moon Empire has been able to fuse bird souls with at least 500 soul masters and reorganize such a soul master air force. According to Jing Hongchen, who was clapping his hands and laughing beside him, the emperor has given this soul master group a name, which is called the Air Combat Soul Master Group.

When Jing Hongchen was preparing for the soul experiment, he specially transferred dozens of soul master prisoners to serve as experimental subjects. The soul masters in prison cannot obtain soul rings, and many soul masters who have been imprisoned for a long time are at the integer bottleneck of soul power, which is perfect for using them as experimental subjects. In addition to prisons, there are also a large number of soul masters and soul instructors whose soul power is at the integer bottleneck in the army. If all these people are transferred out and souls are fused and then reorganized and trained, it is indeed possible to gather a sufficient number of air forces, but where do the soul beasts that can fuse souls with those armies come from?

The answer lies in the ninth of the ten fierce beasts, Nether Water Phoenix Youmeng, the ruler of all the bird-like soul beasts in Youyun Mountain Range. The number and quality of the bird-like soul beasts gathered in Youyun Mountain Range are the best in the continent. Even in Xingdou Great Forest, because the forest landscape is not suitable for bird-like soul beasts to survive and reproduce, the number and quality of bird-like soul beasts alone are far less prosperous than those in Youyun Mountain Range.

The true form of the Netherwater Phoenix Youmeng is a black phoenix. Her attribute is not darkness or evil, but water, the purest and most extreme water.

You Meng is able to command all the flying soul beasts in the Youyun Mountains, relying not only on her powerful strength and noble bloodline, but also on an extremely important talent - controlling the clouds and rain.

As long as one's cultivation reaches the level of a Titled Douluo or a 100,000-year-old soul beast, one can influence and control the celestial phenomena to a certain extent. For the top-level masters of the water attribute, making clouds and rain is not a particularly powerful ability. But Youmeng's talent for making clouds and rain is terrifying, because the rain she brings down is black rain, a kind of rain at the extreme water level.

Water is the source of life, and the extreme black rain brought down by Youmeng is a great blessing to most soul beasts. Whenever the black rain falls, all soul beasts within its coverage will rush out of their nests and let the black rain fall on them, allowing the power of the extreme water to nourish their bodies and heal the injuries they have suffered in various battles.

The power of the Ultimate Water can also nourish various plants in the mountains, improve the veins of the Youyun Mountains, and make the entire Youyun Mountains full of vitality, thereby optimizing the living environment of the soul beasts in the Youyun Mountains in disguise. Although Youmeng's cloud-making and rain-making are very low in terms of the amount, duration, and frequency of rainfall, and the rainfall range is far from enough to cover the entire Youyun Mountains, she can only try to take both into account by changing the area of ​​each cloud-making and rain-making. But she is willing to expend her own strength to exert her innate abilities to benefit all the soul beasts in the Youyun Mountains. This approach has won her support and support far beyond that of other soul beast rulers.

For example, among the flying soul beasts under Youmeng, several hundred thousand year soul beasts have broken through to a cultivation level of more than two hundred thousand years. Once they unite the power of their own tribe, they will be able to challenge Youmeng's position. But Youmeng can still control the hundred thousand year soul beasts in Youyun Mountains whose cultivation level is second only to hers, because they have more or less received help from Youmeng when they broke through, and even her tribesmen support Youmeng. When dozens of high-level soul masters from the Sun and Moon Empire entered Youmeng's territory to negotiate with her, the number and strength of the flying soul beasts guarding Youmeng made the human masters who came here feel dazed. Fortunately, Youmeng herself does not reject contact with humans, and the display of souls even makes Youmeng feel briefly happy and excited. The human soul masters headed by Ye Yulin and the hundred thousand year soul beasts headed by Youmeng jointly agreed on a cooperation plan based on soul fusion. The terms are roughly as follows:

The Sun Moon Empire promised to gradually reduce the hunting of soul beasts in the Youyun Mountains, planning to reduce the number of hunting by half in ten years, and immediately enact legislation in the name of the military to prohibit the hunting of more than ten kinds of bird soul beasts that are the core of Youmeng's subordinates.

Youmeng needs to organize soul beasts with high intelligence to search for the old, dying, seriously injured, and incapable soul beasts in Youyun Mountains, and after persuasion, hand them over to the Sun-Moon Empire as soul fusion objects.

After the Spirit Tower is built and announced to the world, Youmeng can dispatch a soul beast with a cultivation of more than 200,000 years and the ability to transform to supervise the operation of the Spirit Tower to ensure that both parties are mutually beneficial and the original intention of maintaining ecological balance is not shaken.

As long as any soul beast of any level has intelligence and is willing to merge with humans, the soul beast party cannot stop it for any reason.

The Sun-Moon Empire provides soul guides that can preserve soul rings for high-level soul beasts in the Youyun Mountains. When high-level soul beasts encounter ownerless soul rings formed by soul beasts that did not die from human killing, they should actively collect and store them, waiting for human soul guides to exchange materials useful to soul beasts for ownerless soul rings.

......

As a gathering place for bird-like soul beasts, Youyun Mountain Range provided enough bird-like soul beasts to form an air force soon after the contract was signed. As for the souls ridden by the cavalry, they came from the Qinglan Grassland in the northwest of the Sun Moon Empire. The Sun Moon Empire officials followed suit and signed contracts with the 100,000-year soul beasts there, and soon gathered the soul fusion objects needed to form hundreds of cavalry.

Of course, the role of souls is far more than just a mount, but for the army, soul mounts are of great significance. When Huo Yuhao conducted his first soul fusion experiment, he discovered that compared to attack and defense capabilities, the speed of souls is often closer to the peak level of their lifetime, and in some special cases, the speed can be improved compared to their lifetime. This is because souls exist in a form of life. As spiritual and energy life forms, they are very little affected by factors such as body weight and air resistance, but their action and combat instincts are fully preserved.

If the cavalry composed of soul knights launched a charge against another cavalry, the speed and combat capability of the souls would undoubtedly crush the mounts of the enemy cavalry.

Needless to say, the power of bird-like soul mounts is even greater. Although soul masters above level 4 can use flying soul guides, the linear speed of flying soul guides may not be much worse than that of soul mounts, but they are far inferior in flexibility and reaction ability. The soul power consumed by using flying soul guides is also several times more than the soul power supplied by soul masters to soul mounts. Moreover, souls themselves have the ability to replenish their own energy, but it is slower than the host.

The Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire stared at the people in the audience who were still in a state of shock, took the loudspeaker soul guide from Xu Tianzhen and prepared to speak.

"Silence!" An old shout resounded between heaven and earth. In an instant, the crowd who were originally talking fell silent under the shock of the terrifying pressure that penetrated their bodies and minds. A heavy and solemn atmosphere immediately filled the whole place.

Hmm! Is this realm? Huo Yuhao's heart sank and he couldn't help thinking. Even with his intangible spiritual realm, he couldn't find the source of the pressure just now. Because the source of the deterrent power was not the energy of a certain spirit master, but the great trend of heaven and earth. This kind of oppression formed by the realm of heaven and earth was like the will of heaven for most people at the scene.

The news that the Emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire was terminally ill had already spread across the continent. Although the Emperor's physical condition at this time was definitely not healthy, it was obviously still a long way from being on the verge of death.

At least the emperor was still able to speak steadily at this time: "This year's All-Continent Senior Youth Soul Master Elite Competition is held in my Sun-Moon Empire. The elites from the colleges and sects of the four major empires of the continent have gathered in Mingdu. It is an honor for my Sun-Moon Empire. I am also very excited to be able to enjoy this grand event. But now, my country must postpone the official start of the competition and first announce a major discovery related to the fate of the continent, which is the souls ridden by the knights around me and the soul masters in the sky."

When it comes to the word soul, most people know nothing about it, but this new thing has aroused the curiosity of almost all the soul masters in the field, and everyone is quietly waiting for the emperor's next words. The Sun-Moon Empire dared to announce the existence of souls before the competition, and it must have been fully prepared. What the emperor said about the fate of the continent is probably not an exaggeration.

As expected, the emperor then began to explain the significance of the emergence of soul spirits for the entire continent: "As we all know, the cultivation and advancement of soul masters cannot be separated from the absorption and fusion of soul rings, and the source of soul rings is soul beasts. As the human soul master group grows stronger, the number of soul beasts hunted by humans is also gradually increasing. Especially in the past thousand years, the internal ecological balance of many soul beast settlements has been severely damaged due to the killing of soul beasts by human soul masters, so that the overall number of soul beasts has been further reduced, and this phenomenon is still intensifying. Every soul beast settlement is nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth. The gradual collapse of the ecological balance of a large number of soul beast settlements essentially means that the overall ecological environment of the continent is deteriorating.

People who have studied the history of the continent often find that although the number of human soul masters has continued to expand with the increase of the total population of the continent, the proportion of soul masters to the total population of the continent has been declining significantly. Because the probability of six-year-old children awakening their martial spirits with soul power is getting smaller and smaller, this is the best proof of the deterioration of the ecological environment of the continent. For this reason, many insightful and far-sighted soul masters have tried to find ways to replace soul rings, but unfortunately, all of them have failed without exception.

The soul spirits recently discovered in our country are also a concept to replace soul rings, and are the only proven and effective soul ring replacement method so far. The source of soul spirits is still soul beasts, but it can truly reduce the hunting of soul beasts by soul masters and provide greater help to soul masters. In order to prove the concept of soul spirit fusion is valid, more than a dozen students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy risked their lives to cooperate with the first experiment. I am proud of myself for having such students who care about the people. "

As soon as the emperor said this, the location of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone present. Huo Yuhao knew that the emperor attributed the first round of soul fusion experiments to the cooperation of the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, which was actually to express his reliance on the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. The emperor's words of praise for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy also made everyone present at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy seem a little excited, even Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen who knew the truth were no exception.

After waving his hand slightly towards the direction where everyone in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy was, the emperor continued, "Souls are spiritual and energy life forms produced by the fusion of soul beasts and soul masters. They can not only provide soul masters with more than one soul ring, but also retain their wisdom and instincts from their lifetime, and have the ability to cooperate with soul masters in combat. The use of souls as mounts that you have seen is just one of the wonderful uses of souls. Souls themselves have good combat power, and the soul skills they give to soul masters can also be used by souls themselves. After fusion with the host, souls can also grow and evolve to a certain extent as the host's strength increases, and have some characteristics of the host's martial soul.

At this point, I think all the soul masters present should understand that the benefits of soul spirits to soul masters are much greater than simple soul rings. However, the prerequisite for fusing soul spirits is that the soul beast must cooperate voluntarily. The soul beasts that are willing to cooperate with soul spirit fusion are undoubtedly those soul beasts that are nearing the end of their lifespan, are seriously injured and difficult to heal, or have lost their ability to survive due to other reasons.

Finding these soul beasts undoubtedly requires the assistance of high-level soul beasts. So far, our country has reached an agreement with many high-level soul beasts, including the Nether Water Phoenix Youmeng, which ranks ninth among the ten fierce beasts. We hope to gradually reduce the hunting of normal soul beasts by human soul masters through means such as soul fusion, so as to maintain the ecological balance within the soul beasts as much as possible and maintain the stability of the overall ecological environment of the continent. Next, our country will demonstrate ten soul fusions on the spot to prove that everything I said just now is true. The first person to fuse souls is my beloved daughter, Princess Tianzhen. I also look forward to the performance of the princess in this competition after the fusion of souls. "

Chapter 375 How confident are you that you can stop it?

The emperor watched Princess Tian Zhen jump onto the competition stage, and then said: "The building behind me is the official place built for soul fusion. Our country has decided to name this kind of soul fusion institution and building as the Soul Transmission Tower, and the professionals who preside over and guide the soul fusion will be honored as Soul Transmission Masters.

The Spiritual Transmission Academy, which is responsible for teaching and training Spiritual Transmission Masters, is scheduled to be officially opened after the end of this competition, and will mainly recruit Spiritual Transmission Masters with spiritual attributes to study. I hereby declare that the Soul Fusion Demonstration will begin, and the Honorary Tower Master of the Spiritual Transmission Tower, the Imperial Marquis, and the Chief Spiritual Transmission Master Huo Yuhao will take the stage immediately. "

After the emperor gave the order, Huo Yuhao stood up and leapt to the competition stage under the gaze of everyone around him, and sent a spiritual thought to the red-gold dragon that was on standby in the Spirit Transferring Tower.

Just as Huo Yuhao arrived in front of Xu Tianzhen, a portal suddenly opened on the top floor of the Spirit Transferring Pagoda, which was engraved with the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian. A red-gold dragon jumped out of it and quickly landed on the competition stage next to Xu Tianzhen.

The Red Gold Dragon is said to have the blood of both the Fire Dragon and the Gold Dragon. In fact, the only feature of the Gold Dragon on it is the golden spines that extend from its neck to its tail. Legend has it that the Golden Dragon was created when the Dragon God bathed in the essence of the sun. The Red Gold Dragon, which has the blood of both the Fire Dragon and the Gold Dragon, is an excellent choice for the fusion of souls for Xu Tianzhen, who has the Sun Martial Soul.

Leading and guiding the soul fusion is now a piece of cake for Huo Yuhao. The pure spiritual power of the tangible and intangible realm condensed into a nearly materialized golden staff in Huo Yuhao's hand. After forming, the golden runes sank into the body of the red-gold dragon one by one. At the same time, the spiritual connection between Xu Tianzhen and the red-gold dragon was established under Huo Yuhao's control. Jing Hongchen and others who had witnessed the first soul fusion experiment noticed that Huo Yuhao's condensation of the spell was several times faster than before. The various energies in the red-gold dragon were quickly drawn out and the breath of life was rapidly decayed.

When the soul fusion ceremony reached a certain point, Xu Tianzhen received Huo Yuhao's instruction to press his palm on the top of the red-gold dragon's head. Rich red light poured from the red-gold dragon into Xu Tianzhen's body, and golden runes appeared on Xu Tianzhen's fair skin. As time passed, these golden runes became more and more numerous and larger.

The last energy that was poured into Xu Tianzhen's body was the essence of the red-gold dragon, which shone with a different red-gold luster than before. After this red-gold light merged into Xu Tianzhen's body, a large, complex red-gold rune instantly appeared on Xu Tianzhen's forehead. Other energy runes converged towards this red-gold rune, and merged with other golden runes, causing the red-gold rune to expand rapidly until it covered Xu Tianzhen's entire face, then it shattered with a bang, turning into dots of red-gold light that merged into Xu Tianzhen's head.

A dazzling golden sun rose from behind Xu Tianzhen's head, and six soul rings, two yellow, two purple and two black, emerged one by one. The sixth soul ring given by the red-gold dragon soul was particularly eye-catching. Not only was it more than twice as large as the other soul rings, it also directly surrounded the golden sun behind Xu Tianzhen's head, and its rhythm was completely different from that of the other soul rings. Compared with this newly appeared sixth soul ring, the other soul rings seemed to be just a foil, and were far inferior in terms of surface luster and energy aura.

With an excited and loud roar, the red-gold dragon soul emerged from the golden sun several feet in size behind Xu Tianzhen's head. At this moment, a ball of red flame suddenly emerged from the body of the red-gold dragon that had fallen to the side, condensed into a dragon shape, and wrapped around Xu Tianzhen's right arm and burned.

Most people who witnessed this scene thought something unexpected had happened, but those high-level soul masters who could see the truth were all envious in their horror. Even the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, who was sitting in a wheelchair on the imperial viewing platform, smiled after a slight look of surprise, "Tian Zhen is really lucky. When the soul merged, a soul bone appeared and automatically merged with the soul master. There has never been a precedent before. Let the Spirit Pagoda use it for publicity, and the effect should be good. Let Elder Su do it."

Upon hearing this, a ninth-level soul engineer sitting near the imperial viewing platform immediately stood up to acknowledge his orders. At this moment, Crown Prince Xu Tianran, who was also sitting in a wheelchair behind the emperor, smiled and congratulated the emperor, "My younger sister has been blessed by your father to have such an opportunity. This is a sign that the Sun Moon Empire will prosper. I, your son, would like to extend my best wishes to you, father and younger sister." Crown Princess Juzi, who was standing nearby, saluted the emperor along with Crown Prince Xu Tianran, and said that she would personally cook for the emperor and Princess Tianzhen at the celebration banquet after the competition.

Princess Tianzhen is very talented, lively and straightforward, and has never been involved in political struggles. She has always been favored by several of her brothers, including the Crown Prince Xu Tianran. Although it is true that Crown Prince Xu Tianran is happy for his younger sister, the recent political situation has always made him a little uneasy. The plan to win over the leader of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen, and the Star Douluo Ye Yulin has failed. Xu Tianran understands that this is probably because the Lord of the Worship Hall, Kong Lao, instructed his disciples to remain neutral in the competition for the prince.

After taking the Light Source Liquid offered by Jing Hongchen, the emperor's health condition improved miraculously, and he no longer had to worry about his life for at least a few years. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Group was still firmly in the hands of the emperor, and the ascension of Crown Prince Xu Tianran was a distant prospect. The emergence of soul spirits and the establishment of the Soul Transmission Tower caused a major political earthquake within the Sun Moon Empire, but Xu Tianran was unable to intervene in the affairs of the Soul Transmission Tower. Jing Hongchen and others who possessed the soul spirit fusion method and the soul transmission experience left by Huo Yuhao had an absolute advantage in the power distribution of the Soul Transmission Tower.

The various noble families of the Sun Moon Empire formed their own systems and did not support the crown prince. The royal family still supported the third prince who was competing with Xu Tianran for the throne. After all the calculations, Xu Tianran concluded that the cards in his hand were not enough. The trump card that once helped him eliminate a hostile prince was essentially a double-edged sword. Xu Tianran was always on guard, but now...

The fusion of the red-gold dragon right arm soul bone and Xu Tianzhen was completely completed in just half a quarter of an hour, and the red dragon flame wrapped around Xu Tianzhen's right arm gradually extinguished. The soul bone energy was completely integrated into Xu Tianzhen's right arm, bringing her another powerful soul skill in addition to the sixth soul ring skill.

As the imperial princess who acted as a model and took the lead in fusing souls, Xu Tianzhen had to demonstrate the soul skills granted by the souls on the spot, so Huo Yuhao beside her could only reluctantly endure Xu Tianzhen's sixth soul skill and right arm soul bone skills.

Xu Tianzhen's Sun Spirit's Sixth Soul Skill - Golden Sun Shining Through the World

Red Golden Dragon Right Arm Soul Bone Soul Skill - Red Dragon Burning the Sky

Xu Tianzhen and the Red Gold Dragon, who also possessed these two skills, used their soul skills to attack Huo Yuhao with all their strength. The combined attack of the four soul skills formed a huge fireball of golden and red light that wrapped Huo Yuhao in it.

After the red-gold dragon was transformed into a soul, it was baptized and refined by Xu Tianzhen's solar martial soul essence energy, and its size was reduced by more than one-third compared to when it was alive. However, the thin golden dragon blood in its body became purer and thicker, and it had more characteristics of a golden dragon.

The ten sharp claws on the two forearms of the red-gold dragon soul turned into golden dragon claws, and a sharp golden horn grew on its head. The original golden dragon dorsal spines extending from the neck to the tail had grown significantly, appearing thicker and sturdier, giving it a more majestic aura as a descendant of the golden dragon bloodline.

Xu Tianzhen and Red Gold Dragon were not worried that their all-out soul skills demonstration would hurt Huo Yuhao. The dual extreme properties of extreme ice and extreme light protected their bodies, perfectly restraining all the power that could crush Xu Tianzhen and Red Gold Dragon's souls. Unless the level difference was too huge, Huo Yuhao was almost immune to Xu Tianzhen's attacks. Or it could be said that Xu Tianzhen gave up using his martial soul and soul skills, and purely relied on soul guides to deal with Huo Yuhao, which was more effective.

Huo Yuhao himself was fearless in the face of the full-force attack of Xu Tianzhen and the Red-Gold Dragon Spirit. He released his Ice-Blue Emperor Scorpion Spirit, and the snowflakes and ice crystals formed by the Snow Dance Extreme Ice Domain lingered around Huo Yuhao, weakening the attacking flames layer by layer. Even if the remaining sparks and sparks splashed on Huo Yuhao who was protected by the ice crystal armor, they could not cause any damage. Although Huo Yuhao dealt with this quadruple spirit skill very easily, most of the spirit masters at the scene were horrified by the terrifying attack power unleashed by Xu Tianzhen's cooperation with the spirit, especially those members of the major teams who were going to participate in this competition were extremely wary.
