Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 122 The Secret

Dual cultivation.

As the name suggests, this ability is not only effective for Huo Yuhao. Opponents who fight Huo Yuhao can also enjoy this buff through a certain connection.

However, because Gu Yuena, who fought alongside him last night, was of such high cultivation level that what had a considerable effect on him was only slightly better than nothing for Gu Yuena.

But that's not the most important thing.

This kind of training actually has a drawback: people always get tired and may not have the energy to keep fighting.

Dual cultivation is an ability created to enhance strength; if it cannot be practiced for an extended period, even the best effects will be greatly diminished.

Sexuality, the source of lust, perfectly solves this serious problem.

During his training and fighting last night, Huo Yuhao clearly felt that the source of lust in his spiritual space was continuously providing a special kind of energy, which flowed into his limbs and bones.

With the help of this energy, he felt as if he had received a boost of energy.

The difference in cultivation level was as vast as an insurmountable chasm. Even though physical fitness wasn't Gu Yuena's strong suit, it was still something Huo Yuhao couldn't compare to.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for this ability, even with amplified senses, Huo Yuhao would have been exhausted and unconscious long ago.

Sunset Forest.

The eye of ice and fire.

As the space distorted like ripples on water, all the immortal herbs present shuddered.

Although the main entity has not yet appeared, they sensed the spatial fluctuations that were exactly the same as those two years ago. They seemed to come alive, gently swaying their bodies, already looking eager and impatient.

Soon, Huo Yuhao, accompanied by two girls with distinct features—one with gold hair and the other with silver hair—entered their field of vision.

Seemingly because of their previous experience, the group of immortal herbs only glanced at Gu Yuena before quickly shifting their gaze to Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er, fearing that they might accidentally provoke this evil star to destroy the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Huo Yuhao looked around, taking in the reactions of the immortal herbs, and felt a little more at ease before getting straight to the point.

"I believe everyone here has already guessed the purpose of my visit. Two years ago, when I left this place, I mentioned the Soul Contract. I wonder if you have made a decision after two years?"

"Those who are willing to leave with me, I will take you all with me today and help you find the most suitable host."

As Huo Yuhao's voice slowly echoed within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal, who had previously been in charge, spoke again.

"We've already discussed it. If the Soul Contract really has the effects you described, all of us immortal herbs will leave with you."

"We have indeed witnessed the state of the soul spirit you demonstrated before, but that is ultimately just your side of the story. Whether your contract can stably transform a soul beast into a soul spirit, or whether you are deceiving us with an unrepeatable case, no one here can be sure."

"Therefore, we hope to witness the soul ritual firsthand. If it is feasible, we will not only go with you, but as a reward for your help, we will also give you these treasures that we ourselves have nurtured."

As she spoke, the body of the Fragrant Fairy Flower swayed slightly, and a cherry-sized, crystal-clear bead, as clear as amethyst, slowly rose from the center of its large flower.

It was the Qiluo Heart that Huo Yuhao had seen in his previous life, capable of suppressing all poisons.

Although he had anticipated that many immortal herbs would choose to leave with him, Huo Yuhao still couldn't help but blink when he saw how generous these simpletons were.

It seems that bringing Qiu'er here this time was definitely the right decision.

If it were just him and Gu Yuena coming, they would probably need to perform the Soul Ritual with the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass to demonstrate it on the spot.

Although his Ice Emperor Martial Soul still has a vacancy for its third spirit ring, that vacancy was reserved for the Snow Empress.

Using the power left over from his previous life, Huo Yuhao condensed his third soul ring, bringing his soul power level directly to level thirty-five. He planned to go to the far north when he reached level forty, and naturally, one of the two spots would be given to the Snow Empress and the other to Xiaobai.

If the position is given to the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass now, then his trip to the far north will be delayed again.

Even though they were both spirits in their past lives, Xue Di was the one he was closest to, so he naturally had to prioritize Xue Di's situation.

"Can."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao first had Qiu'er step forward and then slowly began to speak.

"Let me introduce you. This is Qiu'er. I brought her here because her cultivation has reached a bottleneck, which is perfect for her to perform a soul ritual with one of you. You can also see if what I'm saying about the soul ritual is true."

Upon hearing this, all the immortal herbs present turned their gazes to Qiu'er, scrutinizing her with curiosity.

"His qi and blood are indeed powerful; could it be a strength-type martial soul? His cultivation level is far too low."

Soon, Youyou, having roughly assessed Qiu'er's condition, couldn't help but shake the enormous flower and speak to Huo Yuhao.

"You promised when you left that as long as we followed you, you would find us the most suitable host. You can't just find anyone to fool us. Putting aside whether there are any suitable immortal herbs for her, her current cultivation level is not enough to bear our power. You're harming her."

However, before Huo Yuhao could explain, Qiu'er snorted coldly and released her martial soul without saying a word.

As the shimmering golden dragon scales emerged from Qiu'er's body, an indescribable aura of dominance quickly spread out.

Moreover, a faint crimson-gold light appeared on Qiu'er's body.

The power of destiny flashed by, but the senses of plant-type soul beasts were incredibly sharp. Just that one flash was enough to make all the immortal herbs present tremble.

Looking at the trembling immortal herbs before her, Qiu'er's bright golden eyes were filled with indifference as she spoke arrogantly.

"Now, am I qualified?"

The entire room fell silent. Looking at the domineering Qiu'er, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched involuntarily. He immediately coughed twice and continued to add.

"As for whether they can withstand the power of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, you don't need to worry at all. After all, if I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have brought Qiu'er here."

"I have a special method. As long as you follow it, you can lower the requirements for fusion, and it will still be able to support your power without any problems."

Faced with the doubts of the immortal herbs, no amount of talk is as effective as demonstrating one's own potential. After Qiu'er's demonstration and his explanation, the immortal herbs will probably start vying for him.

As Huo Yuhao expected, after a brief silence, the immortal herb most suitable for Qiu'er spoke first.

"If I'm not mistaken, your martial soul should be the Golden Dragon, right? I am the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and my cultivation has reached 100,000 years."

"Although my cultivation is not the strongest among the immortal herbs present, it is no exaggeration to say that I am absolutely the most compatible with you. With my power, your Golden Dragon Martial Soul will definitely become even stronger."

Faced with the earth dragon golden melon's self-recommendation, Qiu'er did not rush to give an answer. Instead, she turned her head to look at the person beside her, and only after receiving Huo Yuhao's affirmative answer did she slowly nod.

"Then it's you."

She was a decisive person by nature, so instead of wasting time worrying about so many things, she might as well absorb the knowledge quickly and go back to fight Huo Yuhao.

The thought of the boost that absorbing the Earth Dragon Golden Melon would bring to her filled Qiu'er with excitement.

Tonight, I will surely utterly annihilate Huo Yuhao!

"Since both sides have agreed, let's begin. Let me first explain the points to note."

Qiu'er possesses his memories, so Huo Yuhao's last words were naturally directed at the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

After briefly explaining the precautions for the Soul Contract, Huo Yuhao summoned Tianmeng again and explained how to seal his own power during the process.

"I understand, let's begin."

After listening to Huo Yuhao's description, Jinlong Digua's voice rang out again. Hearing the steps taken by the man and the silkworm that took all aspects into consideration, his last concern vanished.

Sometimes things are like this. With that silver-haired girl around, if the other party only had ulterior motives, they could easily threaten them, or even capture and refine them directly.

But the fact that the other party chose to go to such great lengths actually demonstrates their sincerity.

Although it doesn't understand humans, just thinking about it makes it clear that the golden-haired girl in front of it, who is the transformed form of the auspicious beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, is absolutely top-notch in terms of both talent and potential.

How could it possibly give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Soon, with Huo Yuhao's help, the ceremony officially began, and the previously swaying immortal herbs fell silent.

Even the usually talkative Youyou fell silent, her attention completely captivated by the magical ritual before her.

Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao, and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm on Huo Yuhao's head were all staring intently at Qiu'er, whose brows were slightly furrowed.

Although based on their past experiences in the Star Dou Great Forest, Qiu'er's willpower should be strong enough to fuse with a 100,000-year-old soul, his safety was at stake, so he couldn't afford to be careless.

Fortunately, the whole process went even more smoothly than Huo Yuhao had expected. As time went by, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon's original body gradually turned gray, and a blood-red soul ring symbolizing 100,000 years slowly rose from under Qiu'er.

Qiu'er slowly opened her eyes. In her Martial Soul state, her originally bright golden eyes turned into narrow, vertical pupils, just like Huo Yuhao's when he activated his second Martial Soul.
