Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 185, Part 2: The Reign of the King, Auspicious Beasts

"Without a physical body or a martial spirit, it's really hard to get used to..."

Three more vengeful spirits wielding scepters joined the group, but such complaints continued to rise from time to time.

After their racial transformation, their souls also became entities constructed from both spirit and soul power. Although they could still use soul power, most of the time, only spiritual power would respond to their calls.

"Mental attack!"

Xixi glared at the side, a white light surging from the depths of her eyes. The bird that had been brushing past her stopped instantly, swirling and tumbling down, where it was casually put into Huo Yuhao's soul tool.

An extra meal in the evening.

"So this is the last talent skill... So, apart from the shared Purification Ring, all the other skills are mental."

Concealing the spiritual brilliance in her eyes, Xixi looked up at the sun through her palm, the white energy surging within her spirit like blood clearly visible: "I wonder if that skill can still be used."

"I don't think so."

Huo Yuhao manipulated the soul power on his body to flow smoothly: "Your concealment skills are mainly supported by soul power, and now the energy you are mainly consuming is mental power... Sigh?"

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized something, and his eyes instantly filled with excitement: "You guys are very suitable to cultivate the 'Ruling the World' technique now!"

"Reign supreme..."

Yao Haoxuan looked completely bewildered.

"...The world?"

Gongyang Mo was even more confused than him.

Although this amazing skill was famous throughout the continent a hundred years ago, it eventually faded from people's sight after Mu En retired.

Furthermore, Yan Shaozhe was not suited to cultivate this path and was unable to spread the "Ruling the World" skill. Now, apart from the elders of Shrek Academy, probably no one in this world knows that such a skill that can lead directly to the peak once existed.

"Come."

Huo Yuhao's excitement at this moment was completely from the bottom of his heart, as if he could see the way ahead: "I'll demonstrate it for you now. With your current physical condition, you should be able to find the trick very quickly!"

The world is now in a state of flux, and it's still a work in progress.

It can only integrate mental power or mental derivatives into soul power to enhance the power of soul power and soul skills. As for the deeper integration of soul power into mental power, it has not even taken shape yet.

Even Moon, who dedicated his life to this field, only made significant progress in the first half of his work…

The vengeful spirits before us, once they can even begin, are already standing at the starting point of the second half—or rather, their path of cultivation should be exactly the opposite of that of the living.

First, complete the integration of the lower half of soul power into mental power, so that your mental skills can deal physical damage, and then you can start the reverse operation.

Initially, Huo Yuhao planned to wait until his soul power level was high enough before figuring out his next step. Now it seems he can let his seniors explore the path for him first.

"I don't understand."

Xi Xi spoke frankly, feeling that the energy fusion Huo Yuhao displayed was no different from metaphysics.

First do this... then do that...

And that's how it happened.

"Okay~ We'll study it slowly later."

Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly and turned his attention back to the horizon. The familiar ancient city was gradually coming into view, with an air of decay flowing beneath its peaceful surface.

Shrek City.

Although they entered Douluo Continent from the border of Star Luo, their path shifted northwards, eventually leading them to the Lima Plain after passing through a large area of ​​undefended trading cities.

Here, there are only two places that can be called major cities: Tiandou City on the northwestern edge, and Shrek Academy in the southeast, which is adjacent to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Just from this terrain, it's clear that the economic lifeline and administrative center of the Heavenly Soul Empire are practically exposed right under Shrek's nose. The only barrier between the two is the vast plains that can only be used as agricultural areas.

"Would you like to go back and take a look?"

Yao Haoxuan glanced at the people around him.

He was probably the least academically minded of the Seven Devils of that generation. After all, he still had a bunch of messy things to deal with at home. His main purpose in coming here was to enter the inner academy for cultivation and make friends with future powerhouses.

To say I'm particularly attached to the college wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"Let's go back... but can we really go back like this?"

Xixi gave a wry smile and shook the long cane in her hand.

Semi-transparent, holding a soul tool that exudes an ominous aura, and surrounded by the aura of energy inherent to his race, he would definitely be captured and used for research if he ran into Shrek Academy.

"We are now separated by life and death... so let's not disturb the living."

Gongyang Mo was quite relaxed about it: "Besides, Shrek Academy is already on holiday. Even if we go in, we might not see those familiar faces."

People like Ma Xiaotao, who belong to Shrek Academy, are ultimately a minority. Most students in the inner academy will still take advantage of the holidays to go home.

"In that case, come with me to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Huo Yuhao glanced at Shrek City with a sigh, then turned and flew towards the dense jungle in the distance.

In his memory, Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong would go home during the holidays, so going to Shrek Academy to look for them would only result in disappointment. It would be better to deal with the more pressing matters first.

"Starry Sky Forest..."

Yu Mengdi lowered her head and thought for a few seconds: "Before I went to Sun Moon, I heard that the situation in Star Dou Great Forest had deteriorated. All kinds of high-age soul beasts are active all year round, and even in the outer areas, there is a chance of encountering soul beasts with a lifespan of ten thousand years."

"Y-really?"

Huo Yuhao's gaze wandered around: "Perhaps it's because those powerful soul beasts in the core circle want to cause trouble?"

Although the Starry Sky Riot began after he encountered the auspicious beast, but...

He didn't take the initiative to act! How can you blame him for this?
The Imperial Beast insisted on using its strength and realm to bully others, deliberately walking into the line of fire. What did it do wrong? It only summoned the Snow Emperor and Tianmeng to protect itself.

……

"This feeling…"

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest, the auspicious beast, seated cross-legged on the edge of the lake, quietly opened its eyes, its naturally spreading aura rippling across the water's surface before it.

The Eye of Destiny between her brows had already opened under the pull of the energy, shimmering with crimson-gold light.

This resonance was far stronger than the last one—but it was still just a vague feeling.

The current level of strength is far from sufficient for the auspicious beast to see through the trajectory of fate; at most, it can only gain some understanding through a hazy lens, unable to discern who is standing on the other side.

"This time it should be the real deal, right?"

A complex expression appeared on Rui Shou's face, but then, those memories that flashed through her mind, whether cold or warm, were completely overshadowed by a sentence that she would remember for the rest of her life.

'Go! Get her!'

"asshole!"

The mythical beast gritted its teeth and couldn't help but blurt it out. Whether it was shame, anger, or resentment in its heart, these words always gave it an urge to contort its face.
