Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 78 Awakening

Time flies.

Apart from Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen, everything at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy proceeded smoothly.

However, Jing Hongchen would come to the Soul Tool Trial Grounds from time to time to check on the two of them, and recently it had become more and more frequent, as they had been in deep meditation for three whole months.

"Why isn't it ready yet?"

Jing Hongchen was somewhat anxious. He had only entered a state of deep meditation for five days, while these two had been in this state for three months. Why hadn't they woken up yet?

Kong Lao is still waiting for news. If Huo Yuhao meditates for a year or two, it will take up too much of Kong Lao's time. Moreover, His Majesty doesn't know how much longer he can hold on.

However, although Jing Hongchen was anxious, she also understood that she could not force Huo Yuhao to wake up, as interrupting his deep meditation would cause considerable harm to him.

Just as Jing Hongchen was feeling anxious, the two, who hadn't moved for three months, suddenly showed signs of activity.

Ji Juechen made the first move; his consciousness seemed to be returning, and his eyelashes were trembling slightly.

Jing Hongchen, whose attention was mostly focused on Huo Yuhao, initially did not notice Ji Juechen's subtle movements.

However, as his movements became more and more exaggerated, Jing Hongchen realized that he was waking up.

Ji Juechen's movements were very stiff after three months of inactivity, and he was extremely weak due to prolonged lack of food.

But his eyes were full of spirit, and it was clear from them that Ji Juechen had gained a lot from three months of deep meditation.

Seeing that someone had finally woken up, Jing Hongchen felt a little relieved and quickly instructed the guards outside to take Ji Juechen to rest.

Ji Juechen, whose body had been inactive for a long time, would need some time to recover.

Jing Hongchen watched as the guards saw Ji Juechen off; now only Huo Yuhao remained.

He actually meditated for a longer time than Ji Juechen. Ji Juechen had higher soul power, so he should have gained more, but it seems that the opposite is true.

Looking at Huo Yuhao, who showed no signs of waking up, Jing Hongchen said softly, "It should be soon. The two won't be too far apart." Then she left.

As expected, Jing Hongchen didn't have to wait long. Three days after Ji Juechen woke up, Huo Yuhao also woke up.

His condition was the same as Ji Juechen's; his body was stiff and he had difficulty moving.

The security personnel carried him to the same ward as Ji Juechen and placed him in a mild medicinal solution to allow his body to slowly recover.

After three days of gentle care, Ji Juechen's health has improved significantly. He is now able to eat some porridge and has regained his ability to speak.

Huo Yuhao could only move his eyes for the time being, but his gaze was equally bright and spirited.

Huo Yuhao has already deciphered the secrets of Ji Juechen's world-shaking sword strike.

He gives the impression that he can merge himself into the sword because when he infuses his soul power into the sword, he also incorporates his own will and a portion of his spiritual power into it.

Ji Juechen's will was extremely powerful, which is why his sword strike felt so difficult to withstand.

Huo Yuhao called this combination of intention and spiritual power "sword intent".

Ji Juechen had been immersed in the way of the sword for many years before he could unleash such power.

Huo Yuhao had never studied swordsmanship, so even if he knew about it, he wouldn't be able to use it.

However, Huo Yuhao found another path. Although he did not have the will of the sword, he could still condense soul power and spiritual power at the same time.

The fusion of spiritual power and soul power is extremely difficult. Most soul masters need to obtain at least the seventh soul ring to greatly increase their spiritual power and make it compatible with their soul power before they can achieve the fusion of the two.

Ji Juechen was only able to barely fuse these two powers by relying on the spiritual power he infused into the sword with his will.

This is something that only Ji Juechen could achieve through his nearly twenty years of pure dedication to the sword; Huo Yuhao could not replicate it.

However, Huo Yuhao's mental power was ahead of his soul power, so he could barely manage to fuse the two, though he would be very unfamiliar with it.

However, the three months of deep meditation have allowed Huo Yuhao to discover the method of fusing mental power and soul power. With more practice, he can fully master this power.

This power, capable of simultaneously harming both the opponent's mind and body, is Huo Yuhao's greatest gain this time.

In addition, three months of deep meditation increased Huo Yuhao's soul power by a full five levels, reaching level thirty-eight.

As a Soul King, Ji Juechen's improvement was also significant, increasing his Soul Power by three levels to reach level fifty-nine, just one step away from becoming a Soul Emperor.

Ji Juechen lay on the hospital bed, looking at Huo Yuhao, who was immersed in the medicine, with eager eyes.

In this battle, the improvement of soul power was not the most important thing. Huo Yuhao's final punch, which combined soul power and spiritual power, allowed Ji Juechen to comprehend a new sword technique.

He couldn't wait to have another match with Huo Yuhao.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Huo Yuhao couldn't give him a verbal response, and neither of them seemed to need one. Seeing Huo Yuhao's equally spirited eyes, Ji Juechen understood.

Upon learning that Huo Yuhao had recovered, Jing Hongchen rushed to the ward immediately. Seeing Huo Yuhao's bright eyes, Jing Hongchen knew that Huo Yuhao had definitely gained a lot this time.

"Yuhao, you're finally awake. Do you remember the life-extending magic you mentioned? What's needed to use this magic? What are the requirements for the recipient?"

Jing Hongchen asked a series of questions, appearing somewhat impatient.

There was no other way. Over the past three months, Master Kong had urged him several times. Judging from his tone, His Majesty's health was not optimistic. The sooner the better, in case anything unexpected happened.

Kong Lao's eagerness made Jing Hongchen uneasy. If Huo Yuhao could really prolong His Majesty's life for a while, he could also deal with some of the internal conflicts of the empire, and the evil deeds of evil spirit masters could be reduced a lot.

Huo Yuhao couldn't speak yet, so he could only blink frantically to signal, but such a simple gesture couldn't convey his meaning.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's condition, Jing Hongchen realized that she had acted too hastily and that she had to wait for Huo Yuhao to recover before proceeding.

His Majesty can afford to wait a few days.

After personally inspecting the medicinal liquid that Huo Yuhao was soaking in, Jing Hongchen left the ward to see Elder Kong.

Huo Yuhao has awakened and will recover soon. The matter of prolonging His Majesty's life should now be put on the agenda.

It is not yet known what Huo Yuhao's requirements are; Jing Hongchen needs to discuss it with Elder Kong.

In fact, their collection should be able to meet most of Huo Yuhao's needs.

Huo Yuhao immersed himself in the medicinal liquid, silently feeling the medicinal power nourishing his body. The improvement brought to him by this deep meditation was truly significant.

In three months, Huo Yuhao's soul power increased to level five, saving him a lot of time.

He even began to look forward to the next deep meditation.
