Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 63 Soul
That night, Huo Yutong finished today's homework, set out the tea set, and prepared to welcome Tang Wulin's arrival.

Today it's our turn to have a night chat in her room again.

At this moment, an old voice sounded in her mind.

"Yutong, are you free now?"

Huo Yutong was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

"Master Yi, has the spiritual sea been adjusted?"

Ever since Alex said he wanted to adjust her spiritual sea, he hadn't been heard from.

After a few days, Electrolux finally contacted her again.

Electrolux said:

"Not yet, but soon. I just suddenly remembered something."

"what?"

"There's something strange about your friend Tang Wulin's first spirit ring."

"Are you referring to his Blue Silver Emperor's first soul ring?"

"Yes."

Huo Yutong's expression was a little confused.

"Isn't Wu Lin's first spirit ring just an ordinary ten-year spirit ring?"

She didn't feel that there was anything special about his spirit ring.

"It is indeed a ten-year spirit ring." Alex did not deny it. He continued, "Although it is a ten-year spirit ring, its properties are very similar to your million-year spirit ring."

"???"

Huo Yutong was confused.

Ten years and a million years, is there anything the same besides the color of the spirit ring?
Electrolux explains:
"In my spare time these past few days, I have used your eyes to observe your world. From what I have observed, your soul masters' soul rings generally do not contain souls. Or perhaps only a very small amount of soul residue exists. I guess the souls of these soul beasts have dissipated when they became soul rings. However, there are two exceptions."

After hearing this, Huo Yutong understood.

"Are you talking about me and Wulin?"

"Yes, to be more precise, it is the spirit rings of both of you."

Electrolux said:

"It's normal for you to have a complete soul in your spirit ring. After all, the big bug's soul resides in it. But it's not normal for Tang Wulin to have a complete soul in his spirit ring. Although the soul fluctuations are very weak, it's obviously not an ordinary spirit ring."

Huo Yutong's expression calmed down.

"what do you mean?"

"Go ask him the reason. I'm very curious about it."

“Excuse me for refusing.” Huo Yutong said firmly: “Since Wu Lin didn’t tell me on his own initiative, then no matter what the reason is, it means that he doesn’t want me to know about this matter, so I shouldn’t ask him.”

Huo Yutong knew very well that everyone had their own secrets. Just as she had not told him about the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Alex, it was natural for Tang Wulin to have his own secrets.

She could wait for Tang Wulin to tell her the truth one day, but she didn't plan to ask.

It is very rude to pry into other people's secrets casually.

Alex was not at all surprised by Huo Yutong's answer, he smiled gently.

"I knew you would say that. What if I told you that I have a way to increase the age of his spirit ring?"

"Really?!"

Huo Yutong's expression suddenly changed.

When she first entered school, she was discriminated against by many students because of the color of her spirit ring. She knew very well how unpopular white spirit rings were.

Now that she heard that she could help Tang Wulin increase the age of his spirit ring, she felt her heartbeat quicken unconsciously.

Electrolux said without comment:
"I can only say that this is a possibility. After all, I still don't know why his spirit ring is so strange. But since the big bug can use its essence to help you increase the age of your subsequent spirit rings, then according to my guess, it shouldn't be difficult to help him increase the age of his spirit rings."

"..."

Huo Yutong was silent.

She was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

Asking Tang Wulin this question rashly might cause him to be disgusted, but she really couldn't give up the possibility of helping Tang Wulin increase the age of his spirit ring.

After hesitating for two minutes, she clenched her fists and her eyes became determined.

She was determined.

Even if Tang Wulin hated her, she had to find out the truth.

If it could really help his spirit ring age, then she wouldn't mind anything.

So she closed her eyes and began to think about how to ask him.

She had to think of a suitable excuse. About five minutes later, Tang Wulin arrived at her room.

As soon as he entered the room, he was frightened by Huo Yutong's worried expression.

"Yutong, what happened?"

Huo Yutong opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and asked directly:

"Wulin, is your first spirit ring different from ours?"

Tang Wulin blinked and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Yeah, how did you find out?"

Huo Yutong was stunned.

"Aren't you going to hide it?"

She was prepared to ask more questions, but she didn't expect that Tang Wulin had no intention of hiding anything.

Tang Wulin said depressedly:

"I never intended to hide anything from you from the beginning. I even told you that I came back from the future. What else is there to hide?"

"..."

Huo Yutong felt his face starting to get hot.

Looking at Tang Wulin's frank expression, she now felt that her hesitation just now was like that of a fool.

She sighed and said:

"Isn't my third martial soul a necromancer? When our martial souls merged, I discovered through my third martial soul that there seemed to be a soul in your first soul ring, so I guessed that it was different from the other soul rings."

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect your third martial spirit, Yutong, could be so useful."

Tang Wulin expressed his admiration frankly.

This made Huo Yutong even more embarrassed, so she asked:

"So can you tell me the truth about your spirit ring?"

"of course can."

Tang Wulin nodded slightly and said:

"The true form of my spirit ring is something called a soul. After ten thousand years, soul technology has completely benefited the entire continent. It..."

Then, he told Huo Yutong everything he knew about souls.

He certainly didn't hide this from Huo Yutong on purpose. The reason he didn't tell Huo Yutong was simply because she didn't ask.

After listening to Tang Wulin's explanation, Huo Yutong was stunned for a long time.

What he said was too unbelievable for her. There was actually such a technology in the world that could replace spirit rings. The person named Huo Yuhao was definitely an unimaginable genius.

Unfortunately, although her name was very similar to his, she didn't know him at all and had never even heard of him, which made her feel a little regretful.

Electrolux in her spiritual sea seemed to be thinking about something.

He pondered for a moment and said something shocking:
“Yutong, that genius named Huo Yuhao might be your child.”

"puff--!"

Huo Yutong spat out the tea in his mouth.

Tang Wulin was startled.

"Yutong, what's wrong with you?!"

“Ahem, I’m fine.” Huo Yutong raised her hand to comfort him, then angrily shouted in her spiritual sea: “Master Yi, what are you talking about!”

Electrolux said calmly:
"I am analyzing this based on the current conditions. According to the information I have heard, this thing called soul is very similar to the wisdom soul ring developed by the big bug. It is very likely that it was developed based on your wisdom soul ring. And the person whose name is so similar to yours and who is familiar with your wisdom soul ring is very likely your future child, right?"

"..."

Huo Yutong was speechless.

Hearing him say that, it does seem to make sense.

"But souls..." Electrolux chuckled, "This idea is indeed very interesting, Yutong, maybe I can research this system developed by your future children in advance."

"I've already told you that he may not be my child!"

In response to Huo Yutong's protest, Alex just laughed and ignored it.

He is now more focused on this new system, which has aroused his long-lost enthusiasm.

As long as Tang Wulin cooperates with the research and is given a year, he is confident that the soul system will appear on the Douluo Continent ahead of schedule.

With Wu Lin around, Alex’s soul research started much earlier than in the original book and was much smoother.

By the way, I'll try to squeeze out another chapter in the evening.
