Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 455 Ghost Douluo: Ten Thousand Years Later, and I Still Have a Role to Play? (6K)

To be honest, the teacher really wanted to take out the golden handcuffs from his storage soul tool and handcuff Huo Yuhao, but he didn't dare. As the saying goes, this teacher is like a spring; the weaker Huo Yuhao is, the stronger he becomes.

Huo Yuhao is acting recklessly now. Even though he heard that Mingdetang seemed to have lost top-grade fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells after the attack, and that there were two top-grade fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells produced by Mingdetang in Huo Yuhao's storage soul tool, he didn't dare to handcuff Huo Yuhao directly.

"Those two fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells in your storage soul tool, and that level nine trigger-type defensive soul tool."

The teacher hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"It was given to me by Jing Hongchen. You can ask him yourself if you don't believe me. I have no objection if the teacher plans to handcuff me first."

Huo Yuhao smiled, causing the teacher's anus to tighten and his body to tremble.

"It's alright, it's alright, I'll go ask Director Lin. Goodbye, Huo."

Huo Yuhao didn't have to wait long. Soon, Jing Hongchen sent Lin Jiayi back and gave him some compensation. Although it wasn't much, it was only a small amount compared to the windfall he had just received. In fact, the value of this compensation was several hundred thousand gold soul coins.

However, Jing Hongchen's expression was not good. After all, both the Hongchen Blessing and the top-level fixed-position soul-guided cannons were lost at Shrek Academy due to his own mishap.

Now, Huo Yuhao had two soul tools openly displayed in his storage device, which almost made Jing Hongchen vomit blood. At the same time, he understood how much the Dragon God Douluo valued Huo Yuhao.

After all, even he only gave Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen one level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell each for self-defense, while Shrek Academy, where Huo Yuhao was, only had four level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells in total, yet he was able to take out one of them and leave it for Huo Yuhao. This was quite a generous gesture.

Within days, news of the surprise attack and heavy losses suffered by Mingdetang spread throughout the mainland.

Even if Mingdetang has been trying its best to suppress the news, how could such a big thing be kept secret?

Although the Sun Moon Empire did not name names, the fact that Mingde Hall immediately issued a kill order against the Body Sect clearly indicates their target.

The mainland was shaken.

The entire Three Kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent applauded with joy.

Although they did not know the extent of the damage to Mingde Hall, for them, the fact that the Sun Moon Empire had suffered losses was a great thing.

It is said that the old emperor of the Sun Moon Empire was so enraged upon learning of this that he fainted on the spot, and his already poor health worsened.

Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, was subjected to extremely severe punishment.

The only visible consequence is the stripping of the duke's title, but the unseen consequences are likely far more serious.

If it weren't for Crown Prince Xu Tianran speaking up for him, he might have been stripped of his title as the head of Mingde Hall, and even faced imprisonment.

As for the behind-the-scenes relationship between the Sun Moon Royal Family and various forces within the Sun Moon Empire, it was even more complicated. Jing Hongchen threw the blame out, leaving a certain organization completely stunned. Upon seeing the few skeletons of the dead that had been soaked in the Dead Breath Soil for thousands of years in Jing Hongchen's hands, they began to doubt themselves.

Could it be that they really did this?

In an instant, Jing Hongchen and his supporters, the Crown Prince Party, in order to protect Jing Hongchen, turned their attention to a certain organization and joined forces with other factions in the court who had opinions about that organization to have a heated discussion.

The organization itself was unsure whether the matter was actually done behind their backs by their subordinates, and for a moment they didn't know how to refute it. They wanted to take those bones that had been soaked in the Dead Breath Soil to study them, but they were met with a cold shoulder.

In an instant, the seeds of mutual suspicion were quietly sown. Huo Yuhao used only a few bones to carry out a clever scheme, effectively smearing a certain organization and causing turmoil in the court and among the people.

While the Sun Moon Empire was in turmoil, Huo Yuhao stayed safely in the undead demiplane, watching intently as the group conducted their research.

At this moment, besides Electrolux and Qian Daoliu, Ice Emperor was also able to temporarily leave Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea to get some fresh air. This greatly worried the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which had been sleeping soundly in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, and it hurriedly began to train and condense its own physical form.

"It still won't work. At present, if we want the dead to continue cultivating on their own, we need to solve at least a few problems."

Electrolux shook his head and sighed, "First of all, the Martial Soul is the medium for connecting with the primordial energy of heaven and earth. Without the Martial Soul, absorbing soul power is nonsense. We need to find a way to get the Martial Soul out of the undead creatures."

"In addition, the dead also need a physical body. No, that's not accurate. It should be said that it's a husk to store soul power. After all, although the Soul Master cultivation system talks about cultivating soul power, it has nothing to do with soul power. In fact, the power cultivated still needs a physical body to store it."

"If my intuition is correct, a martial spirit is actually a product of reality formed by the bloodline aura of some powerful being under the rules of the world. It permeates the creatures of Douluo Continent, forming strange things like martial spirits and soul beasts."

Huo Yuhao was completely bewildered by Electrolux's words: "So, Elder Electrolux, are you saying that there's no hope for undead beings to cultivate on their own?"

Electrolux shook his head again: "No, do you remember Long Haochen? This is one of the paths. Besides that, Qian Daji mentioned a very interesting Spirit Hall elder to me, Ghost Douluo Ghost Phantom."

"According to Qian Daji, Ghost Douluo died once when he was young, but by chance, his soul was able to re-enter his body, thus awakening his martial soul. His soul is his martial soul, while he himself is a living dead."

"If this research direction is feasible, we may be able to mass-produce undead soul masters whose martial soul is the fire of the dead. But even so, we still need to solve a problem, which is how to retain soul power in the body of undead life."

Electrolux's words made Huo Yuhao stroke his chin: "Elder Electrolux, if we let the undead life form skip the previous cultivation steps and start cultivating directly from the soul core, would that be feasible? As long as it has a soul core that operates on its own, it wouldn't need meridians to circulate soul power anymore, right?"

"Soul core?"

Electrolux's eyes lit up with interest: "That's a good idea indeed. Let me think about it, hmm."

Electrox's figure gradually disappeared into the distance, seemingly heading off to find other high-level undead to conduct experiments.
