Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 178 Two Lines

"Tianmeng, do me a favor. Try to erase all traces here."

Looking back at the somewhat messy basin, Huo Yuhao became more cautious.

"Huh? Isn't eliminating it enough now?"

Tianmeng looked at the pit with some hesitation: "At this level, even a Super Douluo might not be able to see through it..."

When he first arrived at Sun Moon Academy, he secretly checked the area around the academy, but ultimately failed to detect even a single aura that could threaten him.

Clearly, the vast Mingde Hall simply cannot gather a Super Douluo. The overall level of the Sun Moon Sect is probably just like this, so there is no need to go to great lengths to prepare the venue.

"Could it be that you suspect there's a limit to what's possible in Mingduli?"

Having figured out the key point, Tianmeng was even more confused: "No way... Looking at the entire Douluo Continent, there are only a handful of individuals who have reached the limit realm. Is it really possible for someone like Sun Moon to exist?"

Poor talent, even worse martial spirit, and a penchant for taking drugs and wasting their potential—in this environment, heaven knows how those guys from Mingde Hall managed to climb to the eighth or even ninth ring.

Normally, the level cap for Sun Moon Soul Masters is around level 80, let alone level 99.

"It's not a matter of the sun and moon, but rather the matter of evil spirit masters."

Huo Yuhao touched the storage soul tool, where three level-eight scepters were still emitting a faint blood aura:
"As you can see, the cultivation system of evil soul masters is significantly more diverse and complex, giving them a clear advantage in both cultivation speed and breakthroughs."

"If it were just scattered acts of evil, it might not be a big deal, but now that it has grown to the point of being able to train eight-ringed individuals... it is not impossible to raise a group of evil soul masters who have reached the pinnacle of their cultivation."

"this?"

Tianmeng was speechless for a moment, and even looked somewhat worried: "Then... how about we move again?"

More than his level, he was worried about the combat power of the evil spirit masters.

After all, an eight-ringed cultivator can unleash the power of a titled master. If a Limit Douluo were to suddenly appear, wouldn't that be incredible?
'What if they could reach the realm of gods? Wouldn't that mean utter destruction?'

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became. Tianmeng's instinct to run away took over again: "No, I have to leave now! I'll take advantage of this holiday and go somewhere else."

"Change locations? Where would you like to move to?"

Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows.

"The far north ice plains."

After some hesitation, Tianmeng finally revealed her thoughts: "Since you want to condense a soul core, the most suitable attribute for you right now is ice! Compared to other places, your success rate will be higher if you stay in the far north."

"Ice attribute... Soul cores can have additional attributes?"

Huo Yuhao's current cultivation level is still very low, and his understanding of these things is limited to a few label-like terms. He originally thought that the soul core was just a soul power storage device, but now it seems that it has something special about it.

"Of course it can be attached."

Tianmeng shrugged her non-existent shoulders: "The biggest characteristic of soul power is that its attributes are permanent. As long as there are no special changes, the attributes attached to soul power will continue until it naturally dissipates."

"With this characteristic, the soul core can not only increase the storage space of soul power, but also quickly restore the available soul power. The energy of heaven and earth absorbed into the body can be released directly without any conversion."

No conversion needed!
This part was the one that attracted Huo Yuhao's attention the most in the entire introduction.

For him now, the biggest factor limiting his combat power is the total amount of soul power. His Spirit Eye is okay, as he can unleash skills purely with his mental power, but his second martial soul, which is his trump card, is far inferior.

Each time he switches out of his martial soul, he has to release a layer of Ice Emperor's Descent to reduce skill consumption before he dares to enter combat mode.

Otherwise, his soul power wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of a bunch of high-age soul rings; it would be completely depleted in no time.

"Soul core..."

Huo Yuhao had a premonition that this thing would be the key to his transformation.

Sun and Moon Academy, Director's Office.

Although Huo Yuhao had already prepared himself to be monitored, he was still almost startled when he opened the door and saw Jing Hongchen.

He had only been back for half an hour when he informed the holy servants and informed Ji Ye's group. Jing Hongchen's side was already waiting for him to come over.

'Could there be a traitor among those holy servants?'

Huo Yuhao was somewhat worried, after all, this group of people were basically controlled indirectly through Nana, and it was still uncertain whether they could be trusted.

'So, he was the only one who came back after all?'

Jing Hongchen's eyes were filled with regret, but even more so with helplessness.

The evil spirit masters, whose numbers have grown to an overwhelming level, are so numerous that they are practically overflowing. Every angelic martial spirit lost on the continent represents a significant loss and will make future eradication efforts even more difficult.

This has been confirmed in Shrek Academy's years-long surveillance operations. Graduating from the inner academy is incredibly difficult, and Jing Hongchen can't even keep track of how many Shrek Academy students have died at the hands of evil soul masters.

"Yuhao... don't panic, and don't be disappointed."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's poor spirits, Jing Hongchen offered him words of comfort with a touch of emotion.

'—Is this an open game?'

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was greatly surprised, then shook his head: "It's alright. Actually, I had expected this from the beginning."

Soul tools are everywhere in the Sun Moon Academy, and all sorts of strange and novel ideas and new systems will be implemented here.

Even if Shrek and his group did nothing but disassemble things and copy parts and array patterns, it would still give Douluo Three Kingdoms a technological leap.

In this situation, it would be strange if the other party didn't keep a close eye on it.

'He actually said he expected this...did he know about the Holy Spirit Cult from the beginning?'

Jing Hongchen suddenly became interested: "Since you knew about this, why did you reveal a flaw and give others an opportunity to take advantage? Don't tell me you did it on purpose!"

"Because I didn't expect it to be this outrageous."

Huo Yuhao lowered his voice: "We received the news within half an hour. This efficiency... has far exceeded my expectations."

Faced with this level of surveillance that bordered on personal control, Huo Yuhao was somewhat dissatisfied and couldn't help but speak with barbs.

If the enforcement were stronger, they might even have kept a separate record of everything he said.

"Yeah, who would have thought there were spies everywhere here."

Upon receiving the answer, Jing Hongchen was initially taken aback, but then, under Huo Yuhao's somewhat strange gaze, she sighed with empathy.

As the head of Mingde Hall, he naturally knew many related secrets, as well as the fact that the Holy Spirit Cult had planted branch altars and spread its servants everywhere, cultivating numerous subordinate forces.

The sun and moon are now almost seeping through like sieves.

But for the sake of the so-called grand plan of unification, they had to continue to endure.

"Never mind. Let's skip this unpleasant topic."

Jing Hongchen interlaced her fingers: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
