Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 372 The Infant Ksitigarbha (Daily Life)

"The individual elimination rounds have ended, and the winner is Shrek Academy. This concludes all matches of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. The ultimate champion is the Shrek Academy team."

As Huang Jinxu announced the final result of the match, a few scattered cheers rang out, completely unlike the enthusiastic cheers during the previous team battle victory.

Everyone could see that Shrek Academy's victory in the individual competition was a foregone conclusion; the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had only given their all and tried their best to hold on until the end.

The outcome of the match was already determined when the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team lost the battle.

The worries in the eyes of the Shrek team members were somewhat dispelled by the joy of winning the championship, but they still unconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the Starry Sky Royal Hotel.

How is Ma Xiaotao doing now?

Inside the hotel room, Huo Yuhao looked serious, and Qian Daoliu and the others were unusually awake. The four of them gathered in the sea of ​​consciousness to discuss solutions for Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, are you sure you want to do this? According to my research, this kind of change in martial soul attributes is almost irreversible. If we have a celestial item recorded in the ancient books of your Douluo Continent, there might be a glimmer of hope. But if we simply extract the power, not only is the risk great, but the success rate is also extremely low."

Electrolux looked serious.

"Yes, Yuhao, we should think this through more carefully. As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback. Guiding the black flames into your body could easily lead to your own death if you're not careful."

"If your cultivation level were similar to your senior sister's, you might still have a chance. Unfortunately, your current strength is far inferior to hers. Even if you just try, you're very likely to be instantly devoured by the black flames."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's eyes also showed worry.

"Tianmeng and I can do our best to limit the power of the black flames so that you, our senior sister, will not be affected for a short time. We can do this again once your cultivation level has improved."

Hyotei's eyes also held a hint of heaviness.

Huo Yuhao simply sighed, "I am well aware of this, but when my cultivation reaches the Soul Saint realm, Sister Tao's Phoenix Martial Soul will probably have to be completely transformed into a Dark Phoenix."

"Even if I can extract and purify all the black flames from Sister Tao's body at that time, what will be the point? The power that surges out from Sister Tao's body again will definitely be the black flames of the Dark Phoenix."

"And Sister Tao's mind is probably controlled by the despair and madness within the Dark Phoenix, turning her into a humanoid beast that only knows how to kill."

"I can't pin my hopes on finding a rare and precious herb in the future, especially one whose properties can help purify the evil energy in my senior sister's body. Now, as long as there's a sliver of a chance, I have to give it a try."

Hearing Huo Yuhao's resolute tone, the crowd stopped trying to persuade him and instead began to slowly gather the power within the seal to clean up the mess for Huo Yuhao.

What Huo Yuhao was about to do seemed reckless, but it won everyone's hearts.

Huo Yuhao, who would go to great lengths to secure a chance for his senior sister, is far more trustworthy than someone who can't be warmed up to.

Elder Xuan looked at Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao, who was lying on the bed in pain, with a tense and regretful expression on his face.

"Yuhao, you..."

Elder Xuan's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, but he couldn't say anything more.

At this moment, he felt sadness, unease, guilt, and worry, not only for Ma Xiaotao but also for Huo Yuhao.

He had already heard Huo Yuhao explain his plan, but it was simply too insane.

He extracted all the soul power from Ma Xiaotao's body that had been corrupted by evil energy and transformed into black flames, and absorbed it into his own body, thus severing the further corruption of this power on Ma Xiaotao.

Next, as long as Ma Xiaotao's martial soul is not completely corrupted by evil energy, it will only become an evil fire phoenix, where the evil fire is even more difficult to control, rather than a pure dark phoenix.

The probability of this happening is very low, but it is not zero, since the transformation of a martial soul is never completed in an instant.

As long as this step is interrupted before it arrives, Ma Xiaotao's martial soul will not completely transform into the Dark Phoenix, and she herself will not become a completely thoughtless evil soul master who only knows how to kill due to the violence and madness of the martial soul itself.

However, to seize this precious opportunity, someone needs to absorb all the soul power within Ma Xiaotao's body that has been transformed into dark power, and then use their own body as a container to seal and kill it.

The sheer abundance of soul power within a level 70 Soul Saint, and the sheer ferocity of soul power within a level 70 Evil Soul Master, meant that pouring all of it into the body of a two-ring Soul Master would be a certain death sentence, even for a two-ring Soul Master with exceptional attributes.

Elder Xuan had asked Huo Yuhao many times if he could serve as the vessel for this vessel, but Huo Yuhao always gave him a negative answer.

Even Elder Xuan couldn't possibly withstand such terrifying evil energy being directly poured into his body; the opponent's soul power had no ability to restrain the power within Ma Xiaotao's body.

Even if Elder Xuan manages to withstand the onslaught of this power within his body, he will likely lose most of his cultivation, and his cultivation will never advance further in this lifetime.

But what's truly terrifying is when the opponent's Taotie Martial Soul transforms into some kind of Dark Taotie.

A super evil Douluo with a cultivation level of 98 is someone that few in the world could subdue. If such a thing really happened, the world would probably be in chaos even before the war started.

Huo Yuhao's initial plan was to exchange one life for another. He believed that as long as he could extract all the power from Ma Xiaotao's body before he died, he would succeed.

As for what happened next, he couldn't care less. He was dead, so be it. He had never seen an arrow stick into his body and resurrect with him after being resurrected.

However, the idea of ​​bringing the dead back to life was too unbelievable, so Huo Yuhao did not tell Elder Xuan the truth. He only said that he was confident in subduing the power within Ma Xiaotao.

Huo Yuhao took out a clay figure wrapped in red cloth, held it in his palm, and paid homage to it.

The next moment, a pink power rippled out and then poured into Huo Yuhao's body.

[Infant Ksitigarbha: A tiny child Ksitigarbha wrapped in red cloth. Offering this to the palm of your hand while worshipping grants the power to bring the dead back to life once.]

The swaddling cloth contains the love of parents; may the life in swaddling clothes live a peaceful life.

Huo Yuhao possesses extremely rare Dizang artifacts, and he has used several of them in the process of facing extremely powerful enemies. Now, he has very few left.

Even so, Huo Yuhao still resolutely chose to use this item.

For those second only to one's parents, one must keep them in mind and risk one's life to protect them. If they are taken away, one must rescue them. A mere swaddling earth treasure is nothing to Huo Yuhao.
