Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 209 Kiritsugu: "Just blow it up!"

"Baby, I'm back."

Huo Yuhao opened the door of his villa, carrying two cups of milk tea, and his cheerful voice drifted into the house.

Su Tong had long been used to Huo Yuhao's way of addressing her. After spending so much time together, she knew how unreliable her teacher was.

This teacher of mine likes to do everything except for serious matters.

"Meow~"

A black gas cylinder shot straight out of the kitchen, slamming against the chairs in the living room, their legs scraping against the floor with a screeching sound.

The Shadow Cat leaped into the air. It's hard to imagine how this thing overcame gravity and jumped so high. You can only say that soul power is really useful.

"Uh!"

Huo Yuhao grabbed the Shadow Cat by the scruff of its neck, angrily rubbed the big cat's head a few times, then weighed it in his hand and said:

"Good guy."

"A year ago, she was a slender and beautiful cat. How come she has suddenly turned into a black pig?"

"I don't remember you having any orange cat blood, do you?"

"Hachiko, you need to lose weight."

As a thousand-year-old soul beast, the Shadow Cat can already vaguely understand human speech.

Upon hearing that Huo Yuhao wanted it to lose weight, it immediately struggled, jumped off Huo Yuhao's hand, ran behind Su Tong, and poked its big cat head out to look at Huo Yuhao.

Su Tong, wearing a white nightgown and barefoot on the wooden floor, looked helplessly at the shadow cat behind her and said:
"Teacher, the Shadow Cat eats rare spirit fruits and silver-striped fish every day."

“Sometimes enthusiastic members give it extra food, which makes it so fat because it’s too nutritious.”

"However, the effect is still quite good. It is now a five-thousand-year-old soul beast."

Huo Yuhao walked to Su Tong's side, squatted down, grabbed the Shadow Cat, and scratched the cat's chin a few times, saying:
"Although it is a five-thousand-year-old soul beast, I feel that it might be killed by a two-thousand-year-old spotted cat in a one-on-one fight."

"Oh well, it doesn't need to participate in any battles. Just keep it at home and guard the house, and don't let the mice in."

"But I still think you fat cat need to lose weight! If you get any fatter, your belly will be able to rub against the ground. I'll send you to Medmos later."

"Have him supervise your running."

The Shadow Cat immediately rolled over, revealing its soft belly, attempting to use its charm to bewitch Huo Yuhao.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao wasn't buying it at all. If this guy doesn't lose weight, he'll become a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the future. People who know him will say he's the Shadow Cat King, but people who don't will think he's the Dark Pig King.

After casually dismissing the Shadow Cat, Huo Yuhao looked at Su Tong standing to the side. Her long, black hair, reaching her waist, fell freely, and her icy blue eyes revealed a hint of weariness.

"Su Tong, judging from your soul power fluctuations, you should have broken through level 60, right?"

"Tomorrow, come with me to Sunset Forest to take care of some things. After that, I'll take you to the far north to find a suitable 100,000-year-old soul beast to be your soul spirit."

"Extend your hand so I can sense your mental strength."

Su Tong obediently extended her flawless white arm, and Huo Yuhao grasped her wrist, his spiritual power probing into her spiritual sea along her meridians.

To outsiders, this is an extremely dangerous act. The gate of the mind is related to consciousness, and once it is severely damaged, consciousness will also be affected.

However, Su Tong didn't care at all. Although Huo Yuhao was unreliable, he had done his best for her.

Which teacher can just casually give away a 100,000-year-old soul bone and pick any rare and precious treasures they want?

"Judging from his mental strength, he is still a little overwhelmed to fuse with a 100,000-year-old soul on his own."

"But it's alright, I can help. With our combined efforts, a mere 100,000-year-old soul is nothing."

It was roughly estimated that Su Tong's spiritual power was around 4800 points, which was not far from the Spirit Abyss Realm. With Huo Yuhao assisting her, fusing with a 100,000-year-old soul spirit was not a problem.

Su Tong blinked her icy blue eyes and said:
"So there's still a distance to go before reaching the Spirit Abyss Realm?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, stroked her soft hair, and said:
"That's pretty good, it's already close to Contra."

"The cultivation speed of ultimate soul power should have increased a bit, right?"

Su Tong nodded her little head and said:

"Ah."

"Forcibly controlling the flow of soul power through mental power can indeed effectively increase the cultivation speed of soul power."

"However, it is still a bit slower than normal cultivation speed."

"I'm already very satisfied with this speed."

Huo Yuhao stretched and casually tossed his black trench coat onto the sofa, saying:

"Yeah, you'll be fine once you reach level 70."

"Once you reach level 70, you won't have to worry about the side effects of the ultimate martial soul."

"Moreover, the soul of a 100,000-year-old beast king can probably raise your level by four to five."

"It will greatly accelerate your cultivation process."

"Alright, it's late enough, go back and rest."

"I need to leave early tomorrow, be careful not to stay up late and damage my skin."

Su Tong watched Huo Yuhao return to his room upstairs, then gently picked up the trench coat from the sofa, walked to the balcony, smoothed out the wrinkles with her soul power, hung it on the hanger, and placed a fragrance that Huo Yuhao liked underneath it.

After finishing everything, Su Tong secretly leaned against the black trench coat in the night, imagining herself wearing it, along with a purple top and black trousers, her face falling into a cat-like sullen expression.

"So ugly."

Why would the teacher like this combination?

"I heard that this style of dress has started to become popular in some parts of the Tiandou Plain."

Su Tong felt terrible at the thought of seeing a bunch of people dressed like that every time she went out.

Moreover, this trend originated from his own teacher, so he really had no way to stop it.

I just hope that a fashion industry mogul will emerge in the future to break this unbearable fashion trend.

…………

The next day, Sunset Forest.

"Shirou, are all the soul tools set up?" At this moment, the southwest direction of Sunset Forest was bustling with activity, as the enthusiastic members of the Root Third Group were working hard to set up a large number of soul cannons on the outskirts of the forest.

At this moment, Shirou Emiya is guiding the passionate members to load a large number of fixed-position soul-guided shells into the new soul-guided cannon.

Because of the emergence of soul-guided machine tools, this type of soul tool adopts a mechanized design, rather than relying solely on rare metals and core magic array power to fly like a brick in the old-fashioned soul tool.

Prior to this, mechanical engineering design was virtually nonexistent in the Douluo Continent. The pinnacle of mechanical design here was the Tang Sect's Zhuge Repeating Crossbow and the Hidden Sand Shot.

A simple mechanical design has yet to appear on a soul tool!

The mechanized soul-guided cannon is more refined, has a longer range, and consumes less soul power. Because of the existence of dream coins, ordinary people can also use this weapon.

Shirou Emiya glanced at the loading status of the fixed-load soul-guided cannon shells and said:
"almost."

"A salvo can be launched at any time."

"Fifty sets of fixed-mount soul-guided shells were brought, which is enough for Kiritsugu."

Emiya Kiritsugu, standing on a high place, lowered his binoculars and said:
"Fifty groups?"

"Three hundred shots..."

"It would be enough for a medium-sized war."

"Ten rounds of artillery fire are enough to clear the poisonous miasma in the southwest for two and a half hours."

"Shirou told them to get ready."

"Ready to launch at any time!"

Shirou Emiya immediately called on all the enthusiastic members to get ready. The camp, which was originally bustling and noisy, was now eerily quiet, and the cold muzzles of the cannons gleamed in the sunlight.

The entire venue was filled with a somber atmosphere.

As a gust of wind blew by, Kiritsugu Emiya's dark eyes narrowed, and he called out to those behind him:

"Prepare for the first salvo!"

"Use the soul-guided detector to calibrate the distance!"

The camp echoed with the sound of machinery turning, and everyone moved in unison, quickly completing the distance calibration. The detection soul guide device in Douluo Continent was extremely convenient.

"emission!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Countless deafening sounds rang out from the camp, and the earth was kicked up high with dust due to the enormous aftershocks.

The first wave of Tier 5 fixed-position soul-guided shells hurtled toward the poisonous miasma to the southwest at extremely high speed.

The shells, accompanied by a piercing buzz, sliced ​​through the thin layer of poisonous miasma like sharp swords, leaving behind barely perceptible trails.

The shells exploded violently upon hitting the ground! The first round of thirty level-five fixed-position soul-guided shells were all fire-attribute, designed to counter a specific enemy.

Thirty level-five fixed-position soul-guided shells released intense light and heat, eroding the poisonous miasma of Sunset Forest.

A massive ball of fiery red flames rose into the distance, creating a visually stunning sight. If Huo Yuhao saw this scene, he would definitely exclaim that it was just right!
Emiya Kiritsugu looked ahead, nodded, and said:

"It should have been done a long time ago!"

"Since the poisonous miasma is afraid of fire, we should just use soul-guided cannons to bombard it."

"I was still limited by the mindset of a Soul Master before."

"This thing is much more effective than soul skills."

"Shirou, level 5 is only so-so, go for level 6."

Emiya Shirou gave Kiritsugu a signal that he had received the order, and immediately directed the position to load the Level 6 fixed-position soul-guided shells.

After loading was complete, the second salvo began again, this time at least ten times stronger than the last!
The shockwave from the explosion caused the trees in the Sunset Forest to groan in despair, and the airflow made Kiritsugu Emiya's clothes rustle loudly.

"Keep going for CET-6!"

"Release the third batch!"

…………

Eyes of Ice and Fire

The violent explosion awakened the 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beast inside.

A large pink flower trembled a few times, its leaves looking in alarm in one direction from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, saying:

"What's happening outside?!"

"What's happening here?"

"How could such a terrifying fluctuation of soul power suddenly appear!"

“It’s broken, it’s broken!”

"Jiaojiao, wake up!"

"It seems the humans outside have broken in!"

A fiery red plant, resembling a cabbage, trembled slightly, and a clear female voice spoke to Youyou:

"Why are you panicking?"

"How could the Azure Phosphorus Poison Array be so easily breached?"

"Unless the opponent uses extreme fire, how could it possibly burn everything away?"

"And where did they get so much soul power?"

"Ninety-nine levels are not enough."

"Don't worry, it will calm down on its own in a while."

Youyou still felt very uneasy.

"really?"

"Won't anything unexpected happen?"
