The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Chapter 101 Wang Xiaoming Joins the Battle! (4000 words)

Huo Yuhao finished absorbing the spirit ring in front of him. The body of the Brain Demon, which was ten meters in diameter, disintegrated inch by inch after the spirit ring was absorbed, leaving only a piece of spirit bone floating in mid-air.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, and his terrifying mental power repelled all the clouds and air currents in the sky, creating a vacuum area. Even the surrounding space showed faint cracks.

The 100,000-year-old head soul bone also came into his hands. Huo Yuhao casually stuffed it into his storage soul tool and then used the teleportation array to arrive in the undead demiplane. Although this soul bone was also a 100,000-year-old spiritual soul bone.

However, Huo Yuhao still preferred the 100,000-year soul bone of the Evil Eye Tyrant. After all, if soul bones come from the same soul beast, they will resonate with each other after becoming a set, resulting in a stronger effect.

Beside him, the Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng looked at the six spirit rings flashing purple, purple, purple, black, black, and red under Huo Yuhao's feet with some emotion.

It should be noted that even Du Bu Si's sixth spirit ring was only a 90,000-year spirit ring, which he later upgraded to a 100,000-year spirit ring through self-cultivation. Huo Yu Hao, on the other hand, already possesses a 100,000-year spirit ring at the sixth level. He truly deserves to be recognized by the sect leader as someone who can bring great prosperity to the sect.

"With both form and substance, Yuhao, your current strength in mental power is probably beyond the reach of even titled experts who specialize in mental power. I didn't expect you to be able to achieve this at the Soul Emperor stage. Moreover, your martial soul can allow you to break through the shackles of your body and soul power and perfectly unleash this mental power."

"You are now fully qualified to become the true leader of my Body Sect. The sect leader is currently in seclusion breaking through the limit barrier and it is unknown when he will emerge. Before he went into seclusion, he instructed that once your strength is recognized by me, you will be able to act as the sect leader and command the Body Sect to issue orders."

"Now the entire sect, including myself, will obey your orders. Golden Body Douluo, Jin Peng pays respects to the Acting Sect Master." Jin Peng bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao to show his recognition.

Huo Yuhao nodded, put away his surging spiritual power, and felt his spiritual power had reached the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm. His sixth soul ring was absorbed from the soul ring of a 100,000-year-old Brain Demon King, which was also the only 100,000-year-old Brain Demon in the Demon Forest.

It was only through the combined efforts of the Golden Body Douluo and three other Title Douluos skilled in concealing their movements and auras that he was able to capture them.

The two soul skills brought by this soul ring are very simple and straightforward: a 100% increase in mental strength and a 100% increase in soul power. However, these soul skills are not suitable for Huo Yuhao, who possesses mental strength, soul power, and blood energy as a unified whole.

The improvement he gained was far more than just doubling his soul power and mental strength. With the combined advancement of the three powers, his overall energy level was already four times higher than before. This was because his original power was already the result of the combination of the three, and the bonuses from these two soul skills would have an effect on him simultaneously.

Because of the special nature of his martial soul, Huo Yuhao does not need to use a so-called soul core to expand his upper limit of soul power storage. For him, power itself is a part of his body. Therefore, even ordinary titled Douluo would find it difficult to compete with Huo Yuhao in terms of energy intensity alone.

Even without using any soul skills or techniques, his full soul power alone is enough to shatter the fragile space of Douluo Star and allow him to utilize spatial power.

"Didn't the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family extend an olive branch to our sect some time ago, wanting to invite us to become their national guardian sect and to participate in the Continental Elite Youth Soul Master Tournament hosted by the Sun Moon Empire?"

Huo Yuhao slowly said, "I am very interested in this, but my master's idea is that my Body Sect is forbidden from entering the world during his seclusion, so I plan to go and see the All-Continent Youth Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition by myself."

"This isn't quite appropriate," Jin Peng said. "Although with your current strength as acting sect leader, even a slightly weaker Title Douluo wouldn't be able to stop you, I estimate that after Shrek Academy's defeat in this competition, that old guy Xuanzi will probably personally come to oversee things and cheer them on."

"He is just one step away from becoming a Limit Douluo, just like our sect leader. Although he is not as strong as our sect leader, apart from our sect leader, no one in our sect is his match."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said, "Xuanzi? If it really is him and not one of the other Super Douluo from Shrek Academy, I will feel even more at ease, because although Xuanzi has strong soul power, he never thinks before he acts. If it is him, there is no way he could defeat me."

"My body can disintegrate and reconstruct without limit within the range of my mental power at any time. As long as I want to leave, he can't catch me."

"And this time I definitely won't go in my original appearance."

Huo Yuhao's body turned into blue light spots and then reassembled, transforming into an unremarkable young man who appeared before Jin Peng. His appearance, soul power characteristics, and aura fluctuations were all completely different from Huo Yuhao's.

Even if Jinpeng's spiritual power fell on him, he would only be an ordinary six-ring Soul Emperor. Then, six soul rings of the 'best combination' age appeared under Huo Yuhao's feet, some yellow, some purple, and some black.

Then Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers, and his spirit rings flashed, and six lifelike spirit beasts appeared in front of Jinpeng.

The Earthly Angry Bear, the Mysterious Nether Giant Turtle, the Flame Lion King, the Gale Demon Wolf, the Golden Earth Dragon, and the Hell Demon Dragon all exuded powerful elemental auras, their eyes were incredibly lively, and even their muscle movements resembled those of a real soul beast, radiating the aura of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Jin Peng watched as Huo Yuhao produced a black book with a strange six-pointed star engraved on its cover.

Huo Yuhao said, "This is a soul power manipulation method that I formed by combining spiritual materialization with the ability of my fifth soul ring. However, as long as I don't unleash too much power under the cover of my spiritual power, it is basically similar to the soul skills that some summoning-type martial souls can use."

"It will just be a bit stronger. After all, the soul beasts of the first and second soul rings of a typical summoning-type martial soul are at most only at the thousand-year level with the support of the master's soul power."

Seeing this, Jin Peng finally understood, because Huo Yuhao's fifth spirit ring was also obtained by him from a spirit beast he had captured, a 70,000-year-old Silver Moon Wolf King, which granted Huo Yuhao the ability to control the elements through mental power.

At the same time, this Silver Moon Wolf King was also the result of Jin Peng's careful selection. It gained the ability to manipulate space with mental power when it broke through ten thousand years, but it was still not enough in front of Jin Peng, a super Douluo.

Originally, Huo Yuhao could only use this soul skill to make basic use of the six elemental attributes of water, fire, earth, wind, light, and darkness, while also being able to use his mental power to more precisely influence space.

However, for Huo Yuhao, who possesses the magical heritage of Electrolux, the power of his mind, and strong mental strength, as long as he has this ability and provides mental strength as leverage, even a ninth-order forbidden spell can be manipulated by Huo Yuhao through the power of his mind to deceive the world and easily guide the world to respond and react by leveraging this power.

Since it does not require lengthy chanting, array setup, material preparation, or soul power to activate, it can be said to have solved the biggest shortcoming of high-level magic.

This is Huo Yuhao's true strength. Under the repeated attacks of the ninth-order forbidden spells, unless a god-level combat power above level 100 intervenes, even a Limit Douluo might not be able to defeat Huo Yuhao when he goes all out.

However, if he only wanted to sneak into Mingdu to fish in troubled waters, he naturally didn't need to show such great strength. His name was Wang Xiaoming, his martial soul book was nineteen years old, and he was a six-ring elite soul emperor. This was Huo Yuhao's current alias.

Jin Peng led Huo Yuhao to the reception room in the sect. At this time, Vina was dressed in formal palace attire and sat quietly in place, symbolizing that she represented the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire, rather than a disciple of the Body Sect.

She nodded slightly in greeting when she saw Jin Peng enter, and behind her stood a powerful figure sent by the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

At Huo Yuhao's earlier prompting, Jin Peng stepped forward and said, "The invitation extended to us by the royal family has already been discussed within our sect. We are prepared to follow the sect leader's wishes and remain secluded, not interfering in the affairs of the continent. Therefore, we decline the invitation to become the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire."

Upon hearing this, Princess Vina's eyes dimmed slightly, but she still smiled and nodded, saying, "Vina understands. I will inform my father of this news when I return."

Then, Jin Peng spoke up again: "However, although my Body Sect does not intend to interfere in external affairs, our sect is willing to send a disciple to assist in this competition."

Huo Yuhao stepped forward, and a pitch-black book appeared in his hand. The pages turned, the soul rings under his feet flashed, and six phantom soul beasts appeared and disappeared, exuding a terrifying aura of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

"My name is Wang Xiaoming, I am nineteen years old, a six-ring Soul Emperor, and I possess the Martial Soul Summoning Manual. Please give me your guidance."

Vina stared blankly at this disciple she had never seen before in the Body Sect. Then Jin Peng continued, "Princess Vina is also a disciple of my Body Sect. According to the sect's wishes, we are willing to ask this disciple to replace Princess Vina and lead the team from the Imperial Academy to the Sun Moon Empire to participate in this competition."

"After all, the royal family should have received the news that the activities of evil soul masters have become more and more frequent in recent years, and the soul tools they use, whether they are soul guidance devices or fixed soul guidance shells, are definitely not something that ordinary forces can provide."

Vina nodded and said, "Moreover, since the last incident in Star Luo City, the biggest beneficiary was undoubtedly the Sun Moon Empire, which emerged unscathed and won the championship, although that doesn't mean the Sun Moon Empire was involved in that incident."

"However, the origin of the soul tools used by evil soul masters later is indeed very likely related to the Sun Moon Empire. After all, the Shrek Academy's actions were indeed domineering, but they could indeed ensure that there was no fertile ground for the large-scale formation of evil soul masters in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms."

"However, they never had a reason to enter the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, which led to many famous evil spirit masters disappearing mysteriously after they were hunted down. Many people suspected the Sun Moon Empire, but unfortunately, no evidence was ever found."

"Moreover, in terms of the disparity in national strength, we, originally belonging to the Douluo Three Kingdoms, were not qualified to negotiate with the Sun Moon Empire."

Jin Peng nodded: "So, according to the sect leader's intention, Vina will remain in the sect, and our disciple will fight in her place. After all, this competition can be considered a test by the Sun Moon Empire against our original Douluo Three Kingdoms. We must not back down."

"Moreover, this trip is by no means safe. However, this disciple of our sect is confident that even if another incident like the last evil soul master massacre breaks out, he can still escape unscathed."

Ultimately, after negotiations with representatives sent by the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family, the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family agreed to include Wang Xiaoming, a Body Sovereign Soul Master of unknown origin, into the official team of the Heavenly Soul Empire's Imperial Ao Academy.

At the same time, he was appointed as the captain of the Imperial Academy team, in exchange for the condition that if the Sun Moon Empire were to invade the Heavenly Soul Empire in the future, the Body Sect would selectively defend the Heavenly Soul Empire.

And so, forces from all sides on the continent began their march toward Sun Moon City, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire. Meanwhile, within Mingdu itself, undercurrents were swirling, the city seemingly a colossal beast with insatiable greed, relentlessly devouring everyone who entered.

At this time, the initial registration for the competition was completed. In addition to the original age limit of twenty, this competition also required that at least five of the registered contestants from each sect must have a cultivation level of more than four rings. The final number of participating teams was also fixed at one hundred and sixty, which was much more than the previous competition.

Meanwhile, the Sun Moon Empire, as the continent's premier Soul Master nation, spared no expense in preparing for this competition. The final prize was no longer a Soul Bone, but a Soul Guidance Device.

The champion team will receive a level 9 soul tool.

The runner-up team will receive an eighth-level soul tool.

The third-place team will receive a level 7 soul tool.

Seeing the level-nine soul tool that none of the other three countries possessed, most teams were eager to win the championship. However, only Huo Yuhao knew that this was just bait to lure them in.

After checking into the hotel with the Heavenly Soul Empire and others, Huo Yuhao did not leave the hotel again, appearing quite aloof. However, after Huo Yuhao joined, the members of the Imperial Academy team were all branded with fear by him in order to establish his authority, so naturally no one dared to disturb him.

However, at the same time, in Mingdu, those who had been branded with fear and subjected to mind control by Huo Yuhao began to take busy action.
