Douluo Continent: The Peerless Hunting Heavenly Lord, Huo Yuhao!

A flash of silver-blue starlight appeared on Huo Yuhao's body, the state of martial soul possession slowly faded, his dazzling white hair turned back to black, the holy radiance and battle armor disappeared without a trace, and he returned to his usual gentle and mild-mannered appearance.

His gaze toward Dai Huabin below the stage was cold and calm, yet still held a trace of lingering murderous intent.

"We'll settle our score slowly."

He left those words behind, leaped off the Soul Arena, and walked toward Ning Tian and Gu Yue, who were waiting at the exit.

The priority now is to first warn the members of the Lionheart Society, and then figure out how to deal with the trouble caused by Dai Huabin, this wicked and wicked man.

"Yuhao, what's going on with Dai Huabin's martial soul? It's too strange." On the way, Ning Tian couldn't help but ask curiously.

A person who was being suppressed by Cao Jinxuan just a week ago has suddenly become an invincible Soul Master. Anyone would be suspicious of that.

"There's nothing strange about it. He's just like me, chosen by a supreme being." Huo Yuhao gave a vague answer.

This isn't exactly a lie. Hunting and Abundance are supreme star gods; it just depends on which direction Ning Tian thinks in.

“Supreme Being…” Ning Tian murmured, repeating it thoughtfully.

Gu Yue, standing to the side, gave Huo Yuhao a deep look, a knowing glint in her purple eyes, and a slight upturn at the corners of her lips.

She could sense the ancient power within Huo Yuhao that didn't belong to the Douluo system, but she never asked about it.

……

Lionheart headquarters, independent medical room.

This was specially modified by Huo Yuhao. He had already experienced firsthand how outrageous Shrek Academy's medical resources were—the huge outer academy didn't even have a proper medical department, relying entirely on a few healing-type soul masters.

Fortunately, he built a medical room directly within the organization and even found a promising talent.

Ye Qingwu, the owner of the Nine-Star Begonia Martial Soul, is a medical genius. She is a little girl with shoulder-length blue hair and a cool demeanor. She doesn't talk much, but her medical skills are extremely solid.

Incidentally, Zhou Sichen has been pursuing her relentlessly lately, visiting the medical room every day, a fact that is tacitly known throughout the management team.

Huo Yuhao could only say: As expected of you, you lolicon, you're taking advantage of your proximity, aren't you?

"Qingwu, how are the injured brothers?" Huo Yuhao walked into the medical room and asked, looking at the blue-haired girl who was changing the bandages for the wounded.

"Boss." Ye Qingwu raised his head, his cool voice carrying a hint of respect, "Everything has been taken care of. The bones have been repositioned, and he will recover in half a month without any aftereffects."

"Thank you for your hard work." Huo Yuhao nodded and took out three small jade bottles from his storage soul tool, handing them over. "These are Qi and Blood Pills I refined. They can quickly replenish Qi and blood, relieve cultivation fatigue, and strengthen muscles and tendons. There are no side effects. Give one to each of the injured brothers."

Ye Qingwu took the jade bottle, poured out a brownish-red pill, held it to his nose and sniffed it lightly, and a look of surprise instantly appeared on his face.

It's not that there are no pills in Douluo Continent; the Sun Moon Empire's pill system is even quite mature. However, most pills have side effects and leave behind pill poison. Pills like the Profound Water Pill and the Profound Martial God Pill, which have no side effects, are all extremely rare and expensive.

However, the Qi and Blood Pill that Huo Yuhao took out had a gentle and pure medicinal effect. She could feel her Qi and Blood slightly agitated just by smelling it, and it was clear that there was no poison in it at all.

"Boss, where did you get this pill?" Ye Qingwu couldn't help but ask. "Even our family's Qi and Blood Pills of the same grade can't achieve zero side effects. Yours is at least three times more effective."

"I refined it myself." Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, a little confused.

He thought this was a low-quality beginner pill, a finished product that had been burned more than ten times, but it was actually better than the pills of the Nine Star Begonia family.

Just how poorly has the development of elixirs in Douluo Continent been...?

He paused for two seconds, looked at the little girl's bright eyes, and smiled, "Want to learn? I'll teach you when I have time."

"Really? Thank you, boss!" A slight smile finally appeared on Ye Qingwu's cold face, like the first melting of ice and snow.

Huo Yuhao then turned to Ning Tian, ​​took out another jade bottle and handed it to him: "Ning Tian, ​​Gu Yue, notify everyone to attend a meeting in the conference room. This is Foundation Establishment Elixir. Distribute it to the core members later. It has a good effect on assisting cultivation."

He needed to take advantage of Dai Huabin's troublemaking to improve the overall strength of the core members. With the Abundant Star God already here, continuing with the usual routine of cultivation would be too slow.

“Okay.” Ning Tian took the jade bottle.

……

Lionheart Meeting Room.

The eleven core members sat in neat rows, looking at Huo Yuhao, who sat in the main seat with a serious expression. They all realized that what they were about to talk about was no small matter.

"I've called you all here today for only one thing—I'm going to pass on two cultivation techniques to you." Huo Yuhao's voice was calm and steady. "But before I do, you must swear an oath with your own martial spirit: the techniques will only be practiced by yourselves, never passed on to outsiders, and never used for evil."

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

Everyone's expression turned serious.

The Martial Soul Oath is the most stringent oath in the Douluo Continent.

Once violated, at best one's cultivation will be completely destroyed and one will be stuck at the bottom for life; at worst one's martial spirit will be shattered and one will be reduced to a mortal. There is no chance of escaping this fate.

"I don't force anyone. If you don't want to, you can leave now, and I won't have any objections."

"I, Ning Tian, ​​swear by my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul: I will never pass on my cultivation techniques to outsiders, and I will never use my power for evil. If I break this oath, my Martial Soul will be shattered, and I will never be able to make any progress in my life!"

Ning Tian was the first to stand up. The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda in his palm lit up, and a golden aura of oath swirled around him. Without the slightest hesitation, he stood up.

She believed in Huo Yuhao, unconditionally.

With her taking the lead, the rest of the people also put aside their hesitation.

Cao Jinxuan, Wu Feng, Xie Huanyue... eleven people stood up one by one and made a martial soul oath. They may not yet know the significance of the cultivation technique, but they trust Huo Yuhao's character and believe that he would not harm them.

The vow was made, and the halo faded.

Huo Yuhao slowly spoke: "There are two cultivation techniques, both of which are basic methods, but remember, they are different from all the meditation techniques you have ever encountered."

"Firstly, the 'Qi Absorption Technique.' It uses a specific breathing rhythm to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, allowing it to settle in the dantian and refine the source. It does not absorb ethereal soul power, but rather more condensed and pure spiritual energy. At the same level, the quality and endurance of spiritual energy are several times that of soul power."

"Secondly, the Body Tempering Technique. It is specifically designed to temper the physical body, using spiritual energy to repeatedly cleanse the muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, thus strengthening the foundation. A stronger physical body allows the soul rings to withstand longer lifespans."

Cao Jinxuan and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt.

Breathing techniques and body tempering techniques are not uncommon in the Douluo Continent. Even noble families have their own exclusive secret techniques, such as the distraction control technique of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the dragon transformation secret technique of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan ten thousand years ago.

But judging from Huo Yuhao's words, these two techniques seem to be completely different from what they know.

Huo Yuhao smiled at their puzzled looks and didn't explain further.

No amount of words can change anything; actions speak louder than words.

"Sit cross-legged and follow my guidance. Try the breathing technique once. Once you've tried it, you'll understand."

With a flick of his fingertip, a gentle wave of spiritual energy spread out, slowly flowing along everyone's meridians, guiding them to breathe according to the methods of the "Qi Absorption Technique".

A moment later, everyone in the conference room had a sudden change in expression.

The originally calm spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into their bodies like a tide with their breath, transforming into wisps of cool air that settled in their dantian. This was more than three times more efficient than their usual cultivation!

The look in everyone's eyes as they looked at Huo Yuhao instantly changed from confusion to shock.

They finally understood why they had to make a martial spirit oath.

This is no ordinary cultivation technique; it's a god-level foundational method that can overturn the entire Douluo cultivation system!

€€€€€€€€Side Story€€€€€€€€

According to the Lionheart Archives and the History of the Establishment of the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion, the cultivation techniques originated with Heavenly Lord Huo Yuhao. Therefore, later creators of techniques called Heavenly Lord Huo Yuhao the "Ancestor of All Techniques". However, his earliest techniques, "Body Tempering Technique" and "Qi Absorption Technique", were the most basic opening works of the cultivation and creation of techniques in the Douluo Immortal Ship Empire.

Chapter 45 Target: The Far North!

"Boss, where did you get this treasure from?"

Cao Jinxuan held the cultivation manual, still somewhat dazed.

Wait a minute! That's not how the script was written!

It is known that Huo Yuhao was born into a commoner family, while they were from a noble sect. As a result, Huo Yuhao had better cultivation techniques than the others, and he directly used techniques that they did not have to defeat them.

So it turns out they were the ones who were just ignorant bumpkins who'd never seen the world?

Who's the real aristocrat, you bastard!

"It's a secret." Huo Yuhao smiled mysteriously, tapping the table with his fingertips, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Playing tricks." Gu Yue rolled her eyes, but the glint in her eyes was unmistakable.

These two techniques may seem basic, but they actually point directly to the source of energy and are of great benefit to beings like her.

This was the first time the Silver Dragon King had ever seen a method that could condense ethereal soul power into substantial spiritual power.

Huo Yuhao, that kid, has a lot of hidden cards up his sleeve. She bit her lower lip, feeling both annoyed and curious.

"Alright, memorize the techniques and practice them slowly when you get back. Don't rush things." Huo Yuhao stood up and stretched. "That's all for the meeting. Let's call it a day."

……

Night fell over Shrek Academy, and stars dotted the inky sky.

Huo Yuhao leaned against the window, twirling the jade tablet between his fingers, and gazing at the night sky, he murmured to himself, "Hunting and Abundance have already entered the fray, how many more Star Gods will get involved?"

He paused, then sighed, "Aha is probably here too. How could the Star God of Joy miss such a lively event? I just hope he doesn't mess things up and ruin Douluo Continent."

He raised his hand to press his temples, and prayed helplessly, "Heavenly Bow, please... do not lower your eyes."

……

For the next two weeks, the college was in turmoil.

Dai Huabin eventually admitted his mistake publicly at the flag-raising ceremony, but the content was completely changed, only saying that it was "a private dispute and he hired someone to teach someone a lesson", without mentioning the word "assassination".
