Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

"Well done!"

When Gale Douluo saw Ma Xiaotao unleash six soul skills in an instant, he calmly gave a shout of praise before his martial soul was activated. His first, third, and sixth soul rings flashed, and Gale Douluo's aura surged instantly. A thick wind barrier condensed in front of him, blocking the scorching flames. At the same time, he sprouted wings on his back and retreated into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

But at that moment, a huge firebird split off from Ma Xiaotao's phoenix body, exuding a powerful aura.

The firebird let out a loud cry, and Gale Douluo felt dizzy. His speed slowed down for a moment, and then he was knocked down by the firebird's claw.

Yan Shaozhe, watching from a distance, sighed, "This Blazing Roar truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier soul beast. Besides its flames, which are close to the ultimate fire, its sonic attacks are also formidable. Xiao Zhang suffered a great loss due to his carelessness."

Old Lin said, "These spirits can indeed use their own spirit skills to cooperate with spirit masters in attack. If a person has nine such spirits, he is equivalent to nine titled Douluo. One person is a super power. The only thing that can restrain them is spirit power."

The moment the Blazing Phoenix Spirit made its move, the elders realized that the future landscape was truly about to change. In the future, the strength of one's soul power would likely become a crucial indicator of the combat power of experts of the same level.

Chapter 277: The Busy Zhang Lexuan

277.

After knocking down Gale Douluo, Ma Xiaotao did not press her advantage. Instead, she looked at the disheveled Gale Douluo and said in a cold voice, "Senior Gale, please use your full strength. I won't hold back next time."

No matter how much Gale Douluo valued Ma Xiaotao, he still thought of her as nothing more than a Soul Saint, so he was naturally a little relaxed and was knocked down by Ma Xiaotao without even using his Martial Soul True Body.

He let out a long breath and looked at the two firebirds circling in the sky, especially the Fiery Phoenix, which gave him a strong sense of threat. He didn't know how Ma Xiaotao had summoned this bird, which was like a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, but he knew that if he didn't go all out this time, he might really be caught off guard.

Gale Douluo narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, I will do my best."

As soon as he finished speaking, the seventh ring of Gale Douluo shone brightly, and he transformed into a giant Gale Demon Wolf.

Soon, the Gale Wolf leaped into the sky and collided with the two giant fire birds.

As expected of a Title Douluo, Gale Douluo suppressed Ma Xiaotao's Fire Phoenix, even though Ma Xiaotao's Fire Phoenix was an ultimate martial soul, in every clash.

Meanwhile, the Blazing Phoenix suppressed Gale Douluo. With each attack, a howl accompanied by raging flames engulfing the Gale Wolf, making Gale Douluo suffer greatly.

Amidst howling winds and swirling flames, Ma Xiaotao's Fire Phoenix form and the Blazing Phoenix's Cry gradually achieved perfect harmony, completely suppressing the Gale Demon Wolf.

Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up when he saw that his disciple was now capable of fighting a Title Douluo. "Xiao Tao's strength still needs to be improved. If it weren't for her having the Flaming Phoenix Soul Spirit, she probably wouldn't have been able to defeat Gale Douluo. When she can defeat Gale Douluo without relying on the Flaming Phoenix Soul Spirit, which is 100,000 years old, she will be able to graduate from her apprenticeship."

Yan Shaozhe's words were tinged with reproach and dissatisfaction, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

Qian Duoduo glanced at Yan Shaozhe sideways, thinking to herself that Yan Shaozhe was arrogant and conceited after gaining power. He wanted to become a Soul Saint by defeating a Title Douluo trained by Shrek Academy? Even with an ultimate martial soul, that would be difficult. Yan Shaozhe, why don't you just fly to the moon?

In his opinion, the 100,000-year-old soul spirit was more powerful. The Blazing Phoenix was enough to suppress that kid Gale on its own, and Yan Shaozhe's disciple Ma Xiaotao was just playing a supporting role.

And who developed the Soul Spirit? Huo Yuhao!

Speaking of which, Huo Yuhao should call him Grandmaster, right? Is he arrogant?

Qian Duoduo said calmly, "If Xiao Tao wins this competition, 70% of the credit should go to the Soul Spirit. Xiao Tao's coordination with the Blazing Phoenix is ​​still not good enough. If they practice more, the effect should be more than this."

"Speaking of which, Lao Yan, I remember you fought against the titled Douluo Elder Song when you were in Contra Douluo, right? You were beaten to a pulp by Elder Song. Compared to that, Xiao Tao's achievements are nothing like yours as her teacher."

Qian Duoduo pushed up her glasses and looked at Yan Shaozhe with a smile in her eyes.

Yan Shaozhe's face immediately darkened.

Why does Qian Duoduo have to bring up the most awkward topics? He'd actually started to think the other person was much more attractive these past two months, but it turns out, she's still the same old her!

Xian Lin'er frowned upon hearing this. Her mother's fight with Yan Shaozhe years ago was naturally related to her, but she didn't want to bring up the past again, so she said coldly:

"Shut up, all of you, and focus on the competition."

Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe immediately fell silent.

On the other side, Ma Xiaotao had gained an absolute advantage, but the soul spirit was also consuming her soul power, and at this moment her soul power was almost depleted.

She exchanged a glance with the Blazing Phoenix, then prepared to deliver the final blow to their opponent.

As the last bit of soul power within her body gradually dissipated, the flames rising from the true form of the Fire Phoenix became even more dazzling. Just then, a soft white light smoothed out the soul power she had gathered. At the same time, this white light also spread out, smoothing out the attack of Gale Douluo as well.

"Alright, this competition is over. We have witnessed the actual effects of the soul spirits, and our goal has been achieved. Let's end the competition here."

Moon's voice was very gentle, carrying his spiritual power, which calmed down the two people's excited emotions.

He looked at Xian Lin'er and said, "Lin'er, go and bring Yuhao here. The rest of you come back to the Sea God Pavilion with me."

In the outer courtyard, it was already evening. The Martial Soul Department had long since finished their classes. After many days, Huo Yuhao returned to the Soul Hall, which he had been away from for so long. Looking at the mountain of official business to be dealt with, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but fall silent.

He's starting to miss the days when his senior sister was around. Back then, all he had to do was come to the Soul Hall to clock in and tease the girls in the secretariat; his senior sister would handle everything.

Now that his senior sister is gone, he has to handle all these things himself, and he's even a little reluctant to send her to Douyi.

Huo Yuhao sat down and worked on the documents for half an hour. After looking at the still mountain of documents, he pondered for a while and suddenly remembered that his senior sister was still inside his soul tool.

Huo Yuhao immediately loaded all the documents into the soul tool.

"Senior Sister, I'll trouble you to handle these matters," Huo Yuhao said telepathically.

Zhang Lexuan, who was focused on her cultivation, saw the document that suddenly appeared in front of her. A kind smile appeared on her fair face. "Yuhao, you've imprisoned me and now you want me to handle your official business. Do you think this is appropriate?"

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "How dare I imprison you, Senior Sister? You can come out anytime you want. I haven't imposed any restrictions on you."

Zhang Lexuan said quietly, "Come out and then be with you."

She paused, then shook her head and said, "Alright, I'll handle these official duties for you. Yuhao, you should focus on your cultivation."

During this time, she stayed in Huo Yuhao's spatial soul tool. Huo Yuhao did not cut off her perception of the outside world, and she learned quite a bit about him.

The boy seemed to be carrying a heavy burden; I should help him.

Seeing that he had finally delivered the official business, Huo Yuhao took out a dark stone.

Upon touching it, the stone exudes a cool sensation, but this coolness is not harsh; it gives a warm and soothing feeling.

Huo Yuhao channeled strands of spiritual energy from his sea of ​​consciousness into the stone, which was completely absorbed, causing the stone to emit a faint light.

This stone is called a Soul Stone. It can conduct spiritual power and, if carried for a long time, can nourish the soul of a Soul Master. It is a material used to make some Soul Tools of level seven or above.

Huo Yuhao took it out not because he wanted to make a soul tool, but because he could use this stone to create a "signal receiving device" for the Dream God Realm—a soul-guiding stone.

With this "signal receiving device", as long as others probe their soul power into the Soul-Guiding Stone, they will be automatically pulled into the Dream God Realm.

Unfortunately, this Soul-Guiding Stone can only accept one hundred people per day. The number will increase as the Dream God Realm grows stronger, but this is already enough for Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao slowly mobilized the power of the Dream God Realm, imprinted the Soul Stone with his mark, inscribed a magic array on it, and established a passage to the Dream God Realm.

Finally finished, Huo Yuhao smiled and put it into his soul tool. He looked up and saw Xian Lin'er standing at the door, quietly watching him.

Chapter 278 Zhang Lexuan: Han Ruoruo, are you serious?

278.

"Teacher, what brings you here?" Huo Yuhao asked, somewhat surprised.

Xian Lin'er's expression was cold as she said indifferently, "Come with me."

"Oh." Huo Yuhao followed Xian Lin'er, crossing the Sea God Lake and arriving at the Sea God Pavilion.

Seeing all the elders gathered together, Huo Yuhao roughly guessed why they had summoned him here.

"Yuhao." This time, the elders were not as aloof and serious as before; they all greeted him with kind expressions.

After bowing, Huo Yuhao asked, "I wonder what business you elders have with me?"

Yan Shaozhe said, "After discussions among the elders, it has been decided to promote the Soul Spirit System in the academy. This time, I specifically asked for your thoughts as the creator."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "It is good for students and soul beasts that the academy can promote the Soul Spirit System. I will not object to it. In fact, it is my wish to promote the Soul Spirit System to the whole continent."

At this point, Huo Yuhao paused before continuing, "However, the rise of a new system will inevitably change the existing landscape, and no one can know whether the promotion of Soul Spirits will cause any chaos. Therefore, before fully promoting Soul Spirits, I have decided to establish an organization—the Spirit Transfer Tower—to be responsible for matters such as Soul Spirit contracts, supervision, and promotion."

"What do you esteemed elders think?"

Several elders frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a short while, Elder Xuan spoke first.

"As a new system, Soul Spirits should indeed be subject to regulation, but why not directly incorporate them into the academy and let the academy regulate them? As the holy land of all Soul Masters on Douluo Continent and one of the most powerful forces on the continent, with students spread across the Three Kingdoms, the academy is definitely the most suitable regulatory organization."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "My goal is to promote the Soul Spirit System to the entire continent, including the Sun Moon Empire. In that case, the academy is obviously not suitable. Moreover, if we want to promote it in the future, we obviously can't rely on the academy alone; other major forces also need to participate."

"I will adopt a seat system for the Spirit Pagoda, allowing powerful soul masters from the soul beast race and humans to participate in its supervision. The academy can also send personnel to the Spirit Pagoda to become one of its members, but not the sole member."

Since he's not afraid of spies anyway, and with the [Hive Will] around, he'll naturally recruit more members for his faction.

He desperately wanted all organizations to send their titled Douluo to join the Spirit Pagoda, oversee the Soul Spirit system, and share the spoils.

Then they'll know what it means to never return.

Mu En said, "Indeed, it is not appropriate for the academy to continue to oversee the Soul Spirits. If the Soul Spirits are widely adopted, they will become the lifeblood of almost all Soul Masters, and the academy will become the target of everyone's criticism. Therefore, it is better for everyone to jointly oversee the Soul Spirit system."

"The most fundamental element of the academy is its students. As long as we teach our students well, the academy will always be one of the most powerful forces."

After speaking, Mu En's dim gaze swept over the assembled elders before turning to Huo Yuhao.

"The academy will definitely provide full support for the establishment of the Spirit Pagoda in the future. In promoting the Soul Spirit system in the academy, we also need you to teach a group of people who can perform Soul Spirit Contract rituals."

"Besides, would you be interested in accompanying this old man on a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"The Soul Contract Ceremony can be done with Teacher Cai and Dean Cai. As for going to the Star Dou Great Forest—" Huo Yuhao hesitated.

"What business do you have going to the Starry Sky Forest?"
