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

He ultimately dared not let Dai Huabin shoulder the entire burden alone, and after a moment's hesitation, quickly finalized the lineup:

"Cao Jinxuan, Gu Yue, Xi Xi, Zhou Sichen, and Wu Meng, the five of you will come on stage with Dai Huabin."

No one knew that Dai Huabin's confidence was never based on his soul power level.

He possesses the blessed power of a bountiful destiny, so even if his head is severed, he can still be lively and energetic as long as it is reattached, let alone attacks from ordinary Soul Masters.

The competition proceeded without any suspense, and the outcome was too smooth.

Dai Huabin took to the stage alone, his fighting style was fierce and ruthless, a crazy approach of trading injury for injury.

The opponent's soul skill struck him, tearing his skin and causing him to bleed profusely, a horrifying sight. But he was not affected at all; instead, his attacks became more and more ferocious, and his wounds were slowly healing at a visible speed.

The Changning College team members became increasingly apprehensive and fearful as the game progressed.

This guy is practically indestructible!

Each heavy blow seemed to recharge him, making him stronger with each battle, completely defying the usual logic of Soul Master combat.

When the last member was knocked off the stage, the entire Changning team was pale-faced and still in shock, looking at Dai Huabin as if he were a monster.

In contrast, Dai Huabin, though his clothes were stained with blood, had a rosy complexion and his breathing was as steady as if he had just finished a walk, and he hadn't even used up much of his soul power.

From the stands, Huo Yuhao glanced at the scene before looking away.

The bountiful blessings were even more overpowered than he had anticipated.

Huanlong didn't hide it very well. It's just that outsiders don't know about the Star God's destiny. They would only think that Dai Huabin's martial soul is special and has strong self-healing ability. They would never think of it as possession.

……

There aren't many matches today. After playing against Changning Academy, Shrek Academy has no more matches to play.

Huo Yuhao returned to his hotel room, closed the door, and immersed his mind in the sea of ​​consciousness.

He always kept Xue Di's matter in his heart. He promised to help her transform into human form and ascend to godhood. The first step was to gather the main ingredients for the Transformation Pill, help her break free from the shackles of the embryo, and condense a complete human body.

"Uncle-Master, I have a question for you."

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on a cloud in his spiritual sea, looking at the black dog lying sprawled beside him, lazily wagging its tail. He suddenly asked curiously, "With your high cultivation and being a true member of the demon race, why do you always maintain your beast form and not transform into a human?"

In his understanding, it was standard practice for demons to transform into human form once they reached a certain level of cultivation.

The Celestial Hound has been by Yang Jian's side for many years and its cultivation is unfathomable. There's no reason why it couldn't transform into human form.

The Celestial Hound rolled its eyes, its tail slapping against the clouds, its tone full of disdain:

"What's so good about being a human? All day long, we're scheming and fighting for fame and fortune, working ourselves to the bone like oxen and horses. Being a dog is so much more carefree. You can eat whenever you want, sleep whenever you want, and if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. How comfortable is that?"

Huo Yuhao: "..."

For a moment, they were speechless.

Thinking about it carefully, it actually makes a lot of sense.

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then remembered another question: "When you first arrived in Douluo Continent, did you think that all soul beasts were demons?"

Mentioning this, Xiaotianquan immediately perked up, sat up straight, and began to complain:

"That's right! When I first came here, I was wondering why the 'demons' here were all so stupid. Except for those that were over 100,000 years old and could speak human language, the rest acted on instinct, as if they hadn't developed any intelligence."

"I only realized it later, and it was far from the truth."

Its claws pried at the clouds, trying to explain it to Huo Yuhao:

“The true demon race are those who have gained intelligence, understand cultivation, have inheritance, can transform into human form, have their own race and civilization, and can seek the Great Dao and climb to the peak just like the human race. They are called demon cultivators.”

"These soul beasts in Douluo, apart from those over 100,000 years old who can barely be considered to have developed intelligence, the rest are at most considered to be demon beasts. They have strong bloodlines and great strength, but they are still wild beasts in essence, living entirely on instinct. They have to risk their lives to transform into human form. They are not the same as the demon race at all."

Huo Yuhao seemed to be deep in thought.

He had this idea from the beginning: Gu Yue possessed the essence of the Silver Dragon King and was very familiar with the soul beast system; Xiaotianquan understood the orthodox demon cultivation methods.

If the two can be combined to develop a demon cultivation system suitable for Douluo soul beasts, allowing 100,000-year-old soul beasts to cultivate peacefully without sacrifice or gambling on failed transformations, it would be a world-changing event for the entire soul beast race.

Of course, it is equal to his "Soul Contract" and can be considered a guarantee for soul beasts. One day, the profession of soul master will disappear, in Huo Yuhao's hands!

Unfortunately, he had too many things to deal with before, and with the birth of the "Soul Contract," Huo Yuhao got so busy that he forgot about it.

Now that Xue Di is by my side, it's a good time to start with her and gradually explore and improve.

"Speaking of which, Gu Yue is also a soul beast, so how can she directly cultivate human techniques and maintain a human form for a long time?" Huo Yuhao suddenly thought of this question and became somewhat curious.

The Celestial Hound yawned and slumped back down: "She's different. As you said, after the Dragon God fell, his origin split. The Golden and Silver Dragon Kings were already halfway to godhood. Transformation was instinctive for them, and they're not on the same level as ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts. If you want to study the demon cultivation system, cooperating with her is indeed suitable. She wants soul beasts to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao more than anyone else."

Huo Yuhao nodded, having already made up his mind.

For now, let's gather all the materials for the Transformation Pill and help the Snow Empress stabilize her body. We can discuss the demon cultivation system later.

When it comes to collecting medicinal herbs, the most convenient places are naturally the major trading companies and auction houses.

The place with the most complete range of products and the largest inventory in the entire Star City is none other than the Starlight Auction House.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

Just a few days ago, Hyotei wrecked someone's auction house and even cut off Genko's arm, causing a huge uproar.

It's only been a few days, and he's already going to buy medicinal herbs himself; it's a bit outrageous.

But then I thought again, Hyotei was after embryos, which was completely different from the medicinal herb business at the front desk. Having suffered such a huge loss at the auction, they desperately needed to recoup their losses, and with such a big deal coming their way, there was no reason not to take it.

……

The former site of the Starlight Auction House, west of Xingluo City.

Looking from afar, the main venue building still showed signs of hasty repairs, with faint ice cracks visible on the outer walls. There were three times more guards at the entrance than usual, and each of them looked tense, clearly still recovering from the shadow of the ferocious beast attack.

Huo Yuhao changed into an ordinary black cloak to cover the Shrek Academy uniform insignia, concealed all his soul power, and slowly walked up the steps. Immediately, a waiter rushed up to greet him.

"Welcome to the Starlight Auction, sir." The waiter bowed respectfully and professionally, showing no sign of anything amiss. "Are you here to participate in today's auction, or do you have medicinal herbs or treasures you wish to consign?"

"I'll buy some medicinal herbs." Huo Yuhao said calmly, reciting a list he had already mentally prepared: "Transformation Grass, Beast Spirit Fruit, Rainbow Flower, Azure Grass, Soul-Gathering Dew..."

He paused, then added, "The older the year, the better; the more quantity, the better."

A barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across the waiter's face.

These medicinal herbs are not extremely rare, but they are not common either.

Transformation Grass is occasionally bought, mostly for noble children whose martial souls have mutated and whose appearance shows animalistic characteristics. However, this is a highly profitable gray industry chain with extremely high profits.

The remaining Beast Spirit Fruits and Azure Grass are rarely bought by Soul Masters. They only have a nourishing effect on beasts and are usually bought by royalty and nobles to feed their mounts, the Heavenly Scaled Horses, to promote their growth.

Buying so many at once, and the older the better... Is this young master planning to raise some rare soul beast?

The waiter was quickly calculating in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face, nor did he ask any more questions.

Those who can afford to spend large sums of money to buy these medicinal herbs are either rich or noble. According to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, one should never ask questions that should not be asked.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll go to the storeroom to check the inventory and give you a quote right away." The waiter bowed and hurried away.

Huo Yuhao stood in the hall, his gaze casually sweeping over his surroundings.

The hall has been repaired fairly well, with few signs of damage. However, the faint ice stains in the corners and the lingering cold in the air silently testify to the earth-shattering beast attack that occurred a few days ago.

Hyotei's commotion indirectly helped him a lot.

The auction was a major blow, and the stockpiled medicinal herbs were eager to be sold off to generate cash, which actually helped to lower the prices and save a lot of trouble.

A short while later, the waiter returned quickly, carrying an account book in his hands, with his standard smile on his face:

"Sir, the medicines you requested are all in stock in the warehouse. We have seven 300-year-old Transformation Grass plants, twenty Beast Spirit Fruits, and plenty of the other medicines. Would you like to buy them all at market price, or take a portion first?"

"Pack everything up." Huo Yuhao said calmly, casually taking out a black card and handing it over. "Just swipe the card."

The waiter's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the black card.

Generous!

The commission from this single sale is equivalent to almost half a month's salary for him.

He was about to lead Huo Yuhao backstage to complete the transaction when he suddenly paused, as if remembering something, and looked up cautiously to add:

"Sir, if you need nourishing medicinal herbs, we still have a few ancient Soul-Nourishing Mushrooms in our warehouse. They are extremely effective for soul beasts, but the price... is a bit high."

Huo Yuhao's heart stirred.

Soul nourishing mushroom?

The Snow Empress is currently in an embryonic state, and the Soul-Nourishing Mushroom can stabilize her origin, which is an unexpected bonus.

"Bring them over as well."

"Okay! Just a moment!"

The waiter ran excitedly toward the storeroom, his steps noticeably lighter.

Huo Yuhao stood there, his eyes lowered in thought.

With the main ingredients for the Transformation Pill basically gathered, the day when the Snow Empress transforms into human form is not far off.

Once Xue Di has established herself, she can team up with Gu Yue to study the demon cultivation system. Perhaps this will truly pave a new path for the soul beasts of Douluo Continent.

I'm back again! Extra Chapter

The Transformation Pill was the most precious elixir of the demon race ten thousand years ago, but why is it worthless today?

In summary, the emergence of the Transformation Chapter in the Demon Cultivation Manual (Demon Codex) records the necessary steps for transformation.
