Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 98 (Ten Thousands of Days) Secret Room

Huo Yuhao once asked Qian Daoliu why, after his spiritual realm improved once, he could see small golden characters on his soul ring when he opened his Illusionary Eye. It seemed to be an introduction to the effects and background of the soul skill.

Qian Daoliu's answer to Huo Yuhao was also very simple: it was a kind of authority, an authority that belonged exclusively to the Mother of All Spirits. That authority was just there, waiting for Huo Yuhao to take it, but when he could take it and how much he could take depended on the improvement of Huo Yuhao's spiritual power level.

The more Huo Yuhao's spiritual power increases, the more authority he can bear. He can see the essence of the soul skills on the soul ring, but this is only a tiny, insignificant part of that authority.

At that moment, Qian Daoliu said something to Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression:

"This is a high-stakes gamble. We've given up the chance to barely survive. The stakes in this gamble are much higher than originally planned, so let's hope it brings more uncontrollable variables."

The atmosphere between the two became somewhat silent. Wang Yan also bowed to the huge stone tablet before slowly leaving with Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was not fortunate enough to see the layout of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, because Wang Yan led him down a path and soon arrived at a secret room.

Is this the kind of secret chamber that can isolate soul power fluctuations?

Huo Yuhao looked at the secret room in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little envious. He thought that there were secret rooms like this everywhere in Shrek Academy, and that the entire dormitory building itself was made of materials that could isolate soul power fluctuations, but it seems that this is not the case.

"Let's go inside. Elder Yan already knows we're here."

Wang Yan led Huo Yuhao into the secret room, and soon followed Wang Yan to find Yan Shaozhe, who was looking down at documents.

"Dean Yan, Yuhao said he came to see you today about some things. In addition, I have two documents here that need your signature."

Yan Shaozhe looked up at Huo Yuhao, then immediately lowered his head with a sullen expression. He then said in a deep voice, "Put the documents on the table. I'll take a look at them later. You can go out now."

"OK."

Wang Yan nodded, took a few steps back, and then turned to leave. For a moment, only Yan Shaozhe and Huo Yuhao remained in the room.

"Dean, don't you have a proper office or anything? Why do you have to just find a random room in the secret chamber to work?"

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, was not at all reserved. He ran up behind Yan Shaozhe with a grin and started massaging his shoulders.

Yan Shaozhe wasn't in a good mood at first, but Huo Yuhao, the owner of two extreme attributes, first released his soul ring, passed his soul power through the first soul ring, and then squeezed him with his soul power, instantly making Yan Shaozhe let out a long sigh of satisfaction.

"ah----"

Yan Shaozhe squinted and enjoyed the moment for a while, then suddenly seemed to remember something, stood up abruptly, and looked at Huo Yuhao with a cautious expression: "The reason we work in the secret room is because I'm worried that something might happen to Xiao Tao so I can keep an eye on her immediately. You kid, if you don't have anything to say, get out of here."

You can't blame Yan Shaozhe for being so careful of Huo Yuhao. After all, last time Yan Shaozhe only went to Huo Yuhao's house and had a bowl of Gao Mo, but Huo Yuhao tricked him out of a lot of things. Today, Huo Yuhao used his soul power to massage his shoulders. If he massages him like that, he'll go bankrupt!

"Oh, teacher, we were just worried that we wouldn't get good treatment after becoming your disciples, so we asked first. I've been thinking about it, and as the dean of the Martial Soul Department, I won't be at a disadvantage following you, right, teacher?"

"You think you can get away with this by following me? You're really blind! You want to become my disciple?"

Yan Shaozhe was so shocked he almost jumped three feet high. He looked Huo Yuhao up and down, and seeing Huo Yuhao's sincere eyes, he realized that the other party was not planning to make fun of him.

"Hahahaha, good, good, good! The moment I saw you, I knew you were something special. Hey, you little rascal!"

Yan Shaozhe was somewhat at a loss for words when Huo Yuhao suddenly asked him to become his disciple, and his old face even turned quite flushed with excitement.

"But teacher, you can't go back on your promise to let me study together with the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department, okay?"

Huo Yuhao's voice rang out again.

Yan Shaozhe hesitated for a moment after hearing this. Given Huo Yuhao's aptitude, it was the most important thing to focus all his attention on cultivating his martial soul. If possible, he really didn't want Huo Yuhao to be distracted by other trivial matters.

"Yuhao, you may not know the characteristics of ultimate attribute martial souls. The cultivation speed of a soul master with an ultimate attribute martial soul is much slower than that of an ordinary person before reaching the title realm. Although their strength is also stronger, if you also spare some energy to cultivate soul tools, your cultivation speed will be much faster."

Yan Shaozhe hesitated when he said this, as if he had changed his mind, but even so, he still said it. He really didn't want a talented child like Huo Yuhao to be held back by some trivial matters.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head, wanting to explain to Yan Shaozhe that he might not be a pure, ultimate attribute Soul Master, but he thought that explaining it would be too troublesome, and he would also have to explain the matter of his first Soul Ring, so he thought for a moment and said:

"The speed of cultivation is not really important, teacher."

Huo Yuhao released two spirit rings from his Spirit Eye Martial Soul. The two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, dazzled Yan Shaozhe. Of course, he also felt a bit suffocated, as he was suppressed by the aura emanating from Huo Yuhao.

"Besides the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, I have another Martial Soul. Once my Soul Power level reaches level 70, I will start adding Soul Rings to my second Martial Soul. Judging from my current rate of physical improvement, I should be able to withstand a 100,000-year-level Soul Ring by the time I reach the seventh ring."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Yan Shaozhe felt as if he had been hit by a gift from heaven. A dual-attribute spirit master was already exciting enough, but this kid also had a second spirit.

"Quickly, Yuhao, release your second martial soul so your master can take a look, quick!"

Yan Shaozhe was so excited that he could hardly speak. If Huo Yuhao really had a second martial soul, Huo Yuhao's level in the later stages would not need to rely on cultivation to improve. Just like he said, as long as he installed a few 100,000-year soul rings, his soul power level would rise rapidly.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao didn't make any move. He scratched his head and said, "Teacher, this is also one of the reasons why I came to see you this time. My second martial soul is a pupa, so I can't perform martial soul possession. I came here this time to take the opportunity to check the inner court's information, especially the information left behind by the Martial Soul Hall ten thousand years ago."

"pupa?"

Yan Shaozhe frowned upon hearing this: "The second martial soul is a pupa... wait, let me think about it."

Yan Shaozhe's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he began to pace back and forth: "I can give you this access, but the information left by the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago is not just ten thousand years old. A lot of the information is written in the ancient Douluo script, and the way of recording text is also different. If there are any parts of the meaning that you don't understand, you can come to me."
