Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 142 The Prototype of a Soul?

"Is this the elder's soul?"

Upon suddenly seeing this familiar face, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but show shock in his eyes.

In the previous battle, he had repeatedly confirmed that the opponent's life force and mental fluctuations had been completely extinguished, so how could there still be a soul appearing now?
"Yes, but strictly speaking, it's not."

Old Yi gently waved a staff made of gold, white, and gray, and the swirling spirit quickly condensed into a piece of eerie green: "He fused several beastly vengeful spirits into his body to enhance his strength, and at the same time, he also has a unique talent in the path of the lich."

"When he dies, his fragments of spirit can piece together a remnant soul within the body of the vengeful spirit, thus gaining a chance for rebirth... It's somewhat similar to the life box I studied in my previous life, where life itself depends on external objects rather than the body itself."

"When I was purifying other vengeful spirits, I also collected these spirits, intending to deal with them all at once and completely sever their life force. But I didn't expect to find something interesting on these guys."

As he spoke, Elder Yi reached out and beckoned to the sky, and his golden divine essence shone with a radiance like the sun.

Under the light, the beast spirits that had been quietly floating also burst into sharp hisses, their bodies being forcibly pierced, revealing the obscure light spots inside their spirit bodies.

Each of these points of light extends a faint line, connecting to that fragment of spirit.

"You felt it, didn't you?"

Old Yi smiled.

"Um……"

Huo Yuhao nodded solemnly: "These things are continuously supplying him with energy, and even transmitting his source power. Sooner or later, he will completely digest them."

"If it can continue to develop, it might evolve into a special kind of contract technique. However, right now it is just a rudimentary form of a technique mixed with evil purposes."

Old Yi smiled and pointed at the ferocious beast beside Huo Yuhao: "I used it as a reference, and with the knowledge I had before my death, I modified some of the underlying rules and put them into experimentation. The final result is the companions in front of you."

"Of course, this is just a prototype that needs to be improved... After all, I don't know enough about the rules of this world yet, so I can only help them to materialize."

"in addition--"

Old Yi's expression suddenly turned calm, and he reached out and pulled out a white halo, directly wiping away the several wisps of spirits in front of him.

Several lingering spiritual regrets, now at peace, were accompanied by a burst of energy that appeared out of nowhere.

"The purifying power I possess can cleanse evil things, and I can also gain energy from the purification process. Although it's not much, this ball of energy is already equivalent to a month of your arduous cultivation..."

Elder Yi raised his hand and held the white ball of light in front of Huo Yuhao: "Absorb it here."

A month of arduous practice?
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered for a moment, but after a long struggle, he still chose to take a step back.

"what happened?"

Old Yi seemed to be smiling as he pushed the ball of light closer: "You seem to care a lot about improving your cultivation... Many things can only be put into practice after your cultivation advances."

"Forget it."

Huo Yuhao slowly shook his head, his eyes gradually calming down as he struggled internally: "I'm a little scared."

Old Yi seemed to have a smile in his eyes: "Afraid of not being able to resist temptation and losing oneself in the face of power?"

"Kind of."

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief: "But more than that, I'm afraid I'll forget my original intention and change my goals and mindset. From killing to eliminate evil things to killing to increase my strength."

“I’m not sure what kind of person I’ll become when I’m killing, and I’m not sure if I can stay true to myself, so I can only choose to… refuse from the beginning.”

"Feel sorry."

Huo Yuhao took another step back and bowed deeply: "This student... has failed to live up to your good intentions."

In the midst of an almost awkward silence, a wry smile suddenly appeared on Old Yi's face: "I knew it..."

"Judging by actions, not intentions, little Huo!" Tianmeng Gu came to Huo Yuhao's side, her two beady eyes forcing a smug look: "If you're caught up in your own feelings and give up all the power you should have received, what will you do if you lose in the future? You can't expect us to expend our own energy to help you all the time, can you?"

"I--"

Huo Yuhao looked embarrassed.

Indeed, he had troubled those people in the Sea of ​​Spirits countless times along the way... especially Elder Yi.

"If you can't even trust your own conscience, how can we trust you?"

Old Yi raised his eyebrows, unusually starting to tease people: "Didn't you say you were going to resurrect me and that person in heaven? You can't just be putting on an act and not really taking it seriously, can you?"

"Whoo~"

Huo Yuhao composed himself, his eyes hardening. "Then thank you very much, teacher."

……

"Well?"

In the early morning, Nana, still sleepy, looked up from her bedside and the first thing she saw was Huo Yuhao sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating: "Master?"

"Puff! Cough cough..."

Huo Yuhao, who had just reconstructed the vortex, was so frightened that his soul power became chaotic, and he almost suffered a qi deviation on the spot. His bright spiritual eyes were filled with indescribable fear: "What did you just say!"

This isn't right.

How come after he arrived at the Sun and Moon region, he's been encountering these guys with novel ideas every day... One Yu Mengdi wasn't enough, and now they've added another one to his list?
"Owner."

Nana stood up, her expression solemn: "We have discussed this matter, and the final decision is that from now on, we will all take serving you as the meaning of our lives."

"you?"

Huo Yuhao's eyebrows twitched.

"Yes, we!"

Nana clapped her hands, and suddenly a large group of people poured in from outside the door. There were more than ten people in total, filling the not-so-small room to the brim.

“Apart from those who have chosen to end their own lives and those who have chosen to leave, the remaining branch altar servants are all here. There are thirteen of us in total, including myself.”

“Master, you don’t need to feel guilty. People like us have long lost everything under the persecution of the Holy Spirit Cult. We can only obey orders and desperately cultivate ourselves. We have no choice but to pray for that illusory salvation.”

"And now..."

Nana paused, looked up and met Huo Yuhao's gaze deeply, then gently lowered her head: "Salvation has arrived. You are our only motivation to live."

This?
Huo Yuhao frowned and glanced at everyone.

As if echoing Nana's words, everyone in the room had a look of grief and hope in their eyes, a look that seemed to be directed at a savior, which made him almost unable to look them in the eye.

"But no matter how much I say, my current status is still just that of a student."

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched: "I simply cannot support an entire force, nor can I protect all of you."

"It's ok!"

Sensing an opportunity, Nana's eyes lit up instantly: "Everyone here possesses at least a Level 4 Soul Master medal or Soul Grandmaster cultivation, and the oldest is no more than twenty..."

"We can absolutely support ourselves!"
