Douluo: Crossing the Yuhao Star Palace Master

Chapter 108 Conditions
"So we still need to use ordinary soul masters and ordinary soul beasts for the experiment. Next time they come, I need to have them bring a few people with them." The Silver Dragon King took over from Ilex, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Before Electrolux could react, she leaped to Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao's side, snatched the datura from Zhang Lexuan's arms amidst their astonished gazes, and calmly and without any ripples began to caress it just as they had done earlier.
While patting the tiger, he said, "It's almost time, you should go back now."

Huo Yuhao and Zhang Lexuan nodded in confusion. Neither of them knew what the Silver Dragon King meant by those words. Was he going to kick them out?
The Silver Dragon King glanced at them and continued, "What level has your soul power reached now?"

Level 47.

"Level 87".

"Come find me when you reach level 90. Your ninth spirit ring has already been confirmed." The Silver Dragon King looked directly into Zhang Lexuan's eyes and said calmly.

"Huh?" Zhang Lexuan was a little surprised. Did this mean she was to be the second test subject? At this thought, she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. She glanced at the mandala in the Silver Dragon King's arms and was immediately overcome with maternal instincts.
Seeing that Zhang Lexuan didn't say anything more, the Silver Dragon King turned to look at Huo Yuhao and said, "You're not far from level 50. I asked your teacher, and there happens to be a place in that undead demiplane. Di Tian will bring a 100,000-year-old soul beast with a spiritual attribute over in a little while. You can pick one and take it with you."

"Huh?" Huo Yuhao was stunned. I signed a contract for a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and now you want me to take another one away? When did there become so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts? Can you even give me wholesale ones?
"Of course, these are not without conditions."

Huo Yuhao calmed himself down and asked, "What are the conditions?"

"Next time you come, bring a few trustworthy Soul Masters who are at the bottleneck stage. Also, help me find some dragon remains; I need them."

Eyes of ice and fire!
In an instant, the word flashed into Huo Yuhao's mind, but he did not make a fuss about it immediately. It might be more appropriate to bring it up next time. At that time, he would ask the Silver Dragon King to take him along, and they would split the benefits equally!

"I understand, I'll keep an eye out for you."

"Let me introduce you, this is Huo Yuhao. I've already mentioned him to you before."

The Silver Dragon King surveyed the surroundings and spoke calmly.

"Just yesterday we successfully completed our first case, and that 100,000-year-old Dark Mandragora embarked on a brand new path of cultivation. Today, I hope to select one of you to be the provider of the fifth spirit ring in the future and leave with him."

As she spoke, the mandala emerged from Huo Yuhao's body. The little girl floated around curiously, and the other soul beasts were able to catch a glimpse of this special life form.

Its appearance, indistinguishable from that of a human, its boundless vitality, and its noble soul aura that has begun its transformation all demonstrate the promising and bright future of this new path of cultivation.

Seeing that the beasts' attention had been drawn to the mandala, the Silver Dragon King continued, "This path is undoubtedly unprecedented, but I can tell you definitively that I personally participated in its exploration. So please rest assured, as the ruler of all soul beasts, I would never harm my own people."

At this point, the Silver Dragon King paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject.

"But I want to emphasize one last time that this is entirely voluntary. If it is not sincere and from the heart, I will never force you. You can choose to withdraw now, and there is no need to worry that I will punish you for it."

After saying this, she nodded to Huo Yuhao beside her. Even though she was the ruler of all soul beasts, she ultimately could not completely control the independent will of an intelligent being. All the soul beasts present respected and trusted her immensely, but it was impossible for them to transfer that respect and trust entirely to Huo Yuhao.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao must earn the contract with the party that forms his fifth spirit ring through his own strength and charisma.

Understanding the Silver Dragon King's intentions, Huo Yuhao immediately stepped forward, and his Spirit Eye Martial Soul was activated. Four spirit rings of unusual colors slowly rose from beneath him.

Platinum, black, black, rose gold.

The whole place fell into silence.

All the soul beast kings who were over 100,000 years old were stunned for a long time. Even the Beast God Di Tian was taken aback, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

What gold signifies may be unknown to others, but Di Tian knows it perfectly well!

He already knew that Tianmeng had likely broken through that critical limit, but now, besides the platinum-gold soul ring Tianmeng had given Huo Yuhao, there was also a rose-gold one.
Di Tian was once again utterly astonished by Huo Yuhao's talent and fortune. He couldn't help but take another look at this extraordinary human.

It should be noted that even ordinary soul masters have already surpassed soul beasts in terms of growth speed. Those humans who can ask for titles in their lifetime are already considered to be exceptionally talented, but compared to Huo Yuhao in front of them, they immediately pale in comparison.

A human boy who was only twelve years old had already reached the level of a fourth-ring or nearly fifth-ring cultivator, which was equivalent to the transformation of a high-level thousand-year-old soul beast into a ten-thousand-year-old one.

With those two unusual golden spirit rings that defied common sense, they all knew that Huo Yuhao's strength would probably catch up with theirs in a few years.

After Huo Yuhao demonstrated his talent and potential, the Silver Dragon King continued to speak, but this time her tone carried an unquestionable authority.

“I know that you kings of your races all have concerns. You fear that your departure will lead to the decline of your races. Today, I make a promise that if any of you are chosen, I will provide protection for your races. If any soul beast attacks your people without cause, I will punish them severely.”

Hearing the promise made personally by the Lord of Soul Beasts, many of those who were hesitant finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the soul beasts that can participate in this selection all have a cultivation level of at least 100,000 years, and they must be the absolute best in their respective clans.

Aside from creatures like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with top-tier bloodlines or the Golden Hawksbill Turtle blessed by good fortune, it's already quite remarkable for a race to have one or two beings with a cultivation level of 100,000 years.

Moreover, there are those who are the only sons of their kind. Once they lose the protection of their sole ruler, their entire clan is in danger of utter destruction.

Under such circumstances, the promise made by the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts, undoubtedly became their last straw.

Many soul beasts were now eager to make their move and express their opinions.
