He, Ma Xiaotao, Jiang Nannan, Tang Ya, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and two deans were also present. Xian Lin'er remained aloof, while Cai Mei'er stood affectionately beside Ma Xiaotao, showing no signs of distress.
"Ready? Let's go then." Xian Lin'er said succinctly, and then activated her soul power to carry the group towards the Star Dou Great Forest, while Cai Mei'er also led a few people.
With a titled Douluo leading the way, the group arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest in less than half a day.
The towering trees formed a dense canopy, creating a vibrant forest scene. The air was fresh and moist, making it much easier for the group to breathe.
At this point, Xian Lin'er put everyone down and said, "We have arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest. From now on, you will need to proceed on your own and find suitable soul beasts. Cai Mei'er and I will secretly follow you, and we will not easily intervene until you encounter a soul beast over 50,000 years old. If I intervene to save you even once, ten points will be deducted from your outer court assessment score each time!"
"And Xiao Tao, don't be happy either. Every time I take action, you'll need to complete one more task assigned by the inner court." Xian Lin'er glanced at Ma Xiao Tao, who was gloating beside her, and continued.
"Let's go!" With that, Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er disappeared.
After discussion, the group decided that Huo Yuhao would lead the way, Tang Ya and Xiao Xiao would be in the middle, Jiang Nannan and Wang Dong would be on the left and right sides, and Ma Xiaotao would be at the rear. In this way, no matter what crisis they encountered, Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao could rescue the others in time.
Huo Yuhao also activated his shared mental detection ability. With his Limit Douluo mental power and the Dream God Realm, his detection range was already quite extensive.
He did not fully expand the detection range, but limited it to a radius of ten miles.
During the shared mental detection, Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er, who had concealed their forms, stood guard on either side of them. Clearly, they were much more dedicated than Elder Xuan.
If Elder Xuan were leading the team, they would be off roasting chicken legs somewhere by now.
Every so often, Huo Yuhao would activate his mental detection to the fullest extent to detect if there were any suitable soul beasts around them.
During that time, they did encounter a few soul beasts that were suitable for Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan, but Huo Yuhao rejected them all because they were not good enough.
This time, since he decided to contract souls with them, he naturally chose those soul beasts with powerful bloodlines.
It doesn't matter if the age is a little low, it can increase on its own anyway, but it must be a top-level soul beast with a powerful bloodline.
However, the soul contract also requires the soul beast's consent, which Huo Yuhao could only resolve through soul interference.
Returning to the Star Dou Great Forest, only four months after her last visit, Tang Ya felt as if she had been in another world. She gazed at Huo Yuhao with tender eyes, recalling everything that happened when she first met the boy, and for a moment she felt a little dazed.
Soon, Huo Yuhao and his group arrived at the mixed zone. Along the way, they did not engage in any battles with soul beasts, thanks to Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill.
Huo Yuhao used simulation to completely conceal everyone's figure and aura, so that even if they walked right past a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, it wouldn't be able to detect them.
The moment Huo Yuhao and his group entered the mixed zone, in the perilous Star Dou Great Forest, a three-eyed soul beast awoke from its slumber.
She was entirely golden, with smooth, shiny fur, like a small sun. She resembled a lion, but her four claws were like those of a dragon, each claw resting on a ball of golden flame.
What is most peculiar is her third eye, which is adorned with magnificent colors and exudes a mysterious aura.
She is none other than the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the imperial auspicious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A strange feeling roused her from her slumber. She looked in confusion toward the mixed zone of the Starry Sky Forest, her third eye shimmering with an odd light.
After a moment, a hint of annoyance flashed in her two golden eyes, and she sped off in the direction her destiny had pointed out.
She remembered—this was the same person who had given her headaches and caused her fainting spells repeatedly just months ago! Fate wouldn't lie to her!
She's never suffered such injustice in her life, and she's determined to get revenge this time!
Although her destiny favored this unknown fellow, she still wanted to capture him and bring him back to her cave, making him please her every day. If he didn't repay the pain she had caused him in the past few days, he would—!
After thinking for a long time, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion still couldn't come up with a way to torture the person without harming their life. In the end, she decided that after she caught that guy, she would starve him for a while.
After Huo Yuhao and his group ventured deeper into the mixed zone, their speed slowed down. After walking for a while, Huo Yuhao once again expanded the range of his mental detection.
"This is... a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?" Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up.
Judging from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear within the detection range, it is about five thousand years old. For Xiao Xiao now, it should be possible to absorb its spirit ring.
Xiao Xiao's physical attributes, enhanced by immortal herbs and a soul bone that had been around for over 80,000 years, were naturally far superior to those of her at level 30 in the original story.
Furthermore, if all else fails, Huo Yuhao can choose to suppress the lifespan of the contracted soul.
"Come with me, I've found a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, perfect for Xiao Xiao," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, and she looked at Huo Yuhao with sparkling eyes.
It should be noted that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is one of the top-tier soul beasts, and it is extremely rare to encounter one. If she could absorb such a soul ring, her strength would definitely experience a leap forward!
As expected of the class monitor!
The group quickly followed Huo Yuhao's footsteps and headed towards the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Before long, the group arrived at the dark gold dinosaur bear under the cover of the simulation. It was completely black and was eating, exuding a fierce aura.
Ma Xiaotao frowned and asked, "This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's cultivation level should have reached five thousand years. Can Xiao Xiao absorb it?"
Huo Yuhao said, "Xiao Xiao's physical condition has been enhanced by the immortal herb, and she has also absorbed an 80,000-year-old soul bone. In my mental detection, she has absolutely no problem absorbing a 5,000-year-old soul ring. Besides, I'm here, aren't I? I will ensure that nothing happens to her."
“But—” Ma Xiaotao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Xiao.
"I trust the class monitor's judgment." The girl looked at Ma Xiaotao with firm eyes, then glanced at Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao ruffled Xiao Xiao's hair and said with a smile, "Since you trust me so much, I'll go and catch it for you."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao approached the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear under the cover of the simulation, and amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, he lightly patted the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear on the back.
Succubus Body, activated!
Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. He never expected that he would one day do something so heinous to a soul beast.
He had already foreseen this day when he first killed that Soft-Boned Rabbit.
This wicked succubus body, it's all its fault!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 243: The Birth of the First Soul
243.
Seeing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear slumped on the ground, its once fierce black eyes now gazing at him with tenderness, Huo Yuhao felt a sudden tightness in his chest.
Brother Bear—no, it should be Sister-in-law Bear, don't look at me like that, it scares me.
When the women saw that Huo Yuhao had subdued the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in one move, none of them showed any surprise. Instead, they all looked strange.
They had all experienced the pleasure brought by Huo Yuhao's succubus body, so they naturally knew its effects.
But to everyone's surprise, this succubus body also has this effect on soul beasts!
"Yuhao, you're quite the expert, aren't you?" Ma Xiaotao's narrow phoenix eyes held a teasing look as she walked up to Huo Yuhao and observed the mother bear.
When facing the female bear, Huo Yuhao immediately used his succubus form to attack, clearly knowing beforehand that this ability was also effective against soul beasts.
The question is, how did he know that before?
Wang Dong, seemingly disgusted, said, "Pervert!"
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched, and he said, "Soul beasts are more likely to produce soul bones or even external soul bones when they die under extreme emotions. Don't beg me to use this ability then."
Xiao Xiao blinked, her beautiful eyes sparkling. "I knew the class monitor had his reasons for everything he did!"
Wang Dong said with exasperation, "Xiao Xiao, blind worship is unacceptable!"
Don't you know that longing is the greatest distance in the world? This naughty guy has even won over the teacher, but he still hasn't won you over. Is it possible that your behavior is too much like that of a little fangirl, and your childish behavior makes him unable to make a move?
Huo Yuhao ignored the chatter of the others and instead used his mental power to send a soul contract to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, asking if it was willing to become the soul of the green-haired girl Xiao Xiao, as written in the contract.
"I want to become your spirit!" The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear transmitted these words through the mental link.
Sister-in-law Xiong, you're actually lusting after my body, but you're too incompetent, we're not a good match.
Huo Yuhao directly refused, explaining to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that its age was too young to become his soul spirit. If it really wanted to follow him, becoming Xiao Xiao's soul spirit would have the same effect.
Ten thousand years ago, soul beasts were not very intelligent, and they were also naturally pure-hearted. Therefore, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear agreed to Huo Yuhao's suggestion without even thinking, following the feeling of pleasure in its body.
"You wait, once I grow into a 100,000-year-old soul spirit with her, I will break the contract with her and come back to become your soul spirit," the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear said.
Huo Yuhao fell silent. Who said that soul beasts under ten thousand years old are not intelligent? Who said that soul beasts are simple-minded?
He's already using Xiao Xiao's Kun to lay Huo Yuhao's egg, and he still thinks he's innocent?
Huo Yuhao glanced at the young girl with slightly green hair and advised Xiong Sao, "Once the contract is signed, you will be companions who share life and death. The contract cannot be dissolved."
Fearing that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear might be unwilling, Huo Yuhao continued, "If you sign a contract with her, you'll still be able to see me often. I'm her companion, and you'll be her companion too. A companion's companion is naturally a companion as well."
After Huo Yuhao's persuasive efforts, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear finally agreed to become Xiao Xiao's soul spirit.
Once everything was settled, Huo Yuhao announced loudly, "I have a new method for obtaining spirit rings. Would you be willing to try it?"
Immediately afterwards, Huo Yuhao explained to the group the advantages and disadvantages of this Soul Ring compared to ordinary Soul Rings.
The fact that these advantages could grow alongside them, have soul beast companions to fight for them, and even be passed down after death made several girls very excited.
Wang Dong, in particular, had large, pinkish-blue eyes beneath her long eyelashes filled with gratitude and love for Huo Yuhao.
She now understands her origins. Although she doesn't acknowledge her beastly father, she does acknowledge her mother, meaning she has more than half soul beast blood in her.
Furthermore, according to her beastly father's plan, a part of her soul would merge with the Emperor Beast in the future. Therefore, she was quite concerned about preventing the extinction of the Soul Beast race.
If Huo Yuhao knew what Wang Dong was thinking, he would probably tell Wang Dong that his mother didn't care about the survival of the soul beast race.
Hearing what Huo Yuhao said, even Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er couldn't help but chime in, "Yuhao, have you ever thought that if you do this, as time goes by, the continent will be full of soul spirits that are over 100,000 years old? At that time, won't the soul beasts be a bit too strong?"
Huo Yuhao said gently, "Don't worry, spirits are not spirit beasts. They need to rely on humans to survive. In addition, with the feelings they have accumulated from interacting with humans, they will eventually stand on the side of humans."
Xian Lin'er's cold eyes were full of seriousness as she said, "If you want to spread the Soul Spirit Technique on a large scale in the future, you must consider it carefully. This Soul Spirit Technique will definitely change the situation on the continent in the future."
"However, you are always thorough, and I believe you can handle it well."
