Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

"Is this... really not just to comfort me?" Bai Zhen was somewhat incredulous. In her view, a person's achievements were already determined when their Martial Soul awakened. It was extremely difficult for someone with a low-level Martial Soul like her to cultivate. This was also the thought of the vast majority of Soul Masters.

"Hmm, I asked you to memorize the locations of the body's meridians. How many have you memorized?" Since merging with Ice Emperor, Huo Yuhao has gained a deeper understanding of the meridians throughout his body, and he has already tried to create some cultivation techniques himself.

"I've memorized most of the two lines that my martial soul is connected to, and I've also memorized all the specific lines that you, Master, specified," Bai Zhen said.

"Okay, I'll help you out again." Huo Yuhao pointed his fingertip at Bai Zhen's brow, sharing his mental detection connection with her.

"Keep an eye on your internal meridians. I will use my spiritual power to guide you and help you open them up."

"Yes, Master." After so many days of instruction, Bai Zhen had absolute trust in her master.

Under Huo Yuhao's incredibly precise mental manipulation, the effect of clearing the meridians was far better than that of the Xuan Shui Pill, and a completely new cultivation path quickly began to operate within Bai Zhen's body.

It's not the Mysterious Heaven Skill, but a specially customized technique created by Huo Yuhao based on his extensive knowledge of human meridians, a test version of the technique most suitable for Bai Zhen's martial soul...

After all, it was the first time.

Huo Yuhao was very conservative and did not add any overly dangerous meridians.

"What should we name this cultivation technique? A technique specifically suited for ice-type martial souls... How about Frost True Qi? Sacred Heart Technique?"

Chapter 20 The Theory of Martial Soul Evolution and the Snow Country

The moment the cultivation path was fully formed, Bai Zhen felt her cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally begin to move slowly and gradually accelerate.

This is simply a miracle!

Bai Zhen was utterly shocked. Every time she used her martial soul and every soul skill, she could clearly feel her soul power increasing.

She opened her hands and summoned her martial spirit; three ice cubes, each the size of a finger, condensed in her palm.

Previously, she could only conjure up something the size of a finger.

The innovation of the exercise method was successful.

"Heh, that's only natural." Huo Yuhao chuckled. His guess was correct; the correct meridian pathways could promote the evolution of the martial soul.

A martial spirit can evolve continuously, rather than remaining unchanged for a lifetime. This is the conclusion he reached after his research.

He had read Shrek Academy's records about the "Body Body Sect," which stated that Body Body Martial Souls could be awakened a second time through a certain "secret method."

There's also the Evil Fire Phoenix, which can transform into ultimate fire after the evil fire is removed, as well as the "mutation" of Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu and the senior brother's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. These beast spirit transformations should be based on bloodlines.

Then there's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a weapon spirit, and there are also records of using external objects to advance it into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

It is even known that the evil martial spirit of evil spirit masters can be activated and transformed through "evil magic".

There are many, many examples...

Looking at Bai Zhen, who was crying tears of joy, he nodded in satisfaction and then said, "I heard that people from several surrounding villages have come looking for you. They have some complaints about you no longer believing in the Ice God. What do you plan to do?"

“They only have one second-ring Great Soul Master in each of their two villages. The rest are mostly ordinary people, either awakened or not. Unlike our village, we will naturally follow Master’s arrangements in how to deal with them.” Bai Zhen now idolizes her master, this mysterious and powerful figure.

The terrifying power that stopped the wind and snow, the miraculous creation of the electric soul guide device, and the heaven-defying cultivation technique were all things she had never seen before in her life.

What is Master's cultivation level? A Soul Douluo? A Titled Douluo?

Regardless, she has decided to follow him for life.

“No, you’re the village chief, so these things are best left to you,” Huo Yuhao said. He wasn’t interested in this kind of negotiation. “Take in as many people as you can. We’re still short of manpower here. Get this done quickly. I have another test to do this afternoon, so come with me.”

"Yes." Bai Zhen withdrew.

In the sea of ​​the spirit,

"I don't understand, why are you doing so much with these weaklings?" Ice Emperor asked. If she hadn't seen Huo Yuhao's cultivation level increase at an alarming rate as he thought, she would have said directly that it was a complete waste of time.

"Oh, Bingbing, Yuhao must have his own reasons. There's no need to ask too much." Tianmeng Bingcan was still clinging to her, while Ilex sat quietly without saying a word.

"Weaklings? Are these people who built a civilization in the freezing cold really weaklings?" Huo Yuhao asked calmly with a smile. "They can do anything. Just watch."

Let's see what people can achieve with their own hands after getting rid of their nonsensical belief in gods.

………………

In the time it takes to eat a meal,

Bai Zhen quickly dealt with the two out-of-town soul masters who came to confront him.

She was the strongest two-ring Soul Master here, so the others didn't dare to act too recklessly and only dared to bring up the issue of the Ice God's faith.

But after she made a small heater on the spot, the people from the other villages immediately bowed down in worship.

Why? With a little heater, who needs the Ice God?

The hot air from the electric heater is irresistible to any snowfield dweller.

As a result, Nuanlu Village grew in power, and the human settlements in the snowy mountains were integrated into one, giving birth to a small snow kingdom.

………………

Bai Zhen hadn't been this happy in a long time since she took over the village from her deceased father.

“Frost Soul Village has the most arable land and the richest grains, Snow Soul Village is close to the forest and produces furs and meat, while our village has some minerals, which we used to sell to the Heavenly Soul Empire. Our village is also the only one that has some connection with the outside world.” Bai Zhen said excitedly as they walked, “However, we only have Warm Furnace Village now, not a complete village!”

"Mm." Huo Yuhao listened to her talk while continuing to walk forward.

"Master, where are we going?" Bai Zhen asked. She realized that they were getting closer and closer to the far north, a place every Snowfield dweller knew to be an absolute no-man's land.

"To the far north," Huo Yuhao said succinctly.

"!!!" Bai Zhen's eyes widened, her voice filled with fear, a conditioned reflex formed from the terrifying snowfield stories told to her by adults since childhood.

"Master... Master, are we really going? I heard that if you get close to the far north, you will be cursed by the Ice Scorpion and the Snow Maiden. They will come to your bedside at night and freeze your soul, so that you will never be reincarnated." Bai Zhen said, trembling, whether from the cold or fear, it was hard to tell.

Wow, Bingbing, you're amazing!

Within the Sea of ​​Spirit, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke in an exaggerated voice.

"I didn't do it." Hyotei's voice remained icy.

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "Of course I'll go. Where will you get your spirit rings if I don't go?"

"But Master, it's not time for me to add spirit rings yet!"

"You'll know when it arrives."

………………

"Brother Tianmeng, is this the Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm you mentioned before?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"Yes, but Yuhao, that was originally meant for you, are you really going to give it to this little girl?" Tianmeng said resentfully, feeling that her sincere feelings had been wasted.

"It's not for giving, it's for conducting an experiment, and I'll give it to her as well. Besides, I already have the strongest Ice Silkworm," Huo Yuhao said.

"Hahaha, it's that experiment, right? Okay, fine. They actually said it was the strongest ice silkworm, so cheesy. I should keep a low profile, hehehe..." Tianmeng was so proud of being praised that he twisted and turned in his sea of ​​consciousness, which made Bingdi look at him with an expression of utter disbelief.

"What kind of experiment is this? What are you guys up to?" Hyotei felt like he was the only one who didn't understand anything, and he was a little annoyed.

"That's a nascent path that this child has created based on the three cultivation paths of magic, soul mastery, and meridian cultivation," Elex explained from the side.

"What do you mean?" Hyotei still didn't understand.

"It's a new cultivation path that, if successful, can perfectly compensate for the deficiencies of both soul beasts and soul masters," Electrox said with satisfaction.

"Alright, Bai Zhen, give me your hand," Huo Yuhao said.

"Yes, Master."

Huo Yuhao pulled Bai Zhen's hand, and with his right hand, he used his tentacle-like mental power to pull a huge soul beast from a distance over.

"What a huge tiger! When did it get there?!" Bai Zhen exclaimed in surprise. The far north was indeed dangerous.

Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed, and under the mental impact, the giant tiger's form dissipated, revealing a huge ice silkworm, which was its true form.

"Bai Zhen, you need to concentrate fully from now on. Do whatever I say. If you fail, I will find another thousand-year-old soul beast to be your future soul ring. If you succeed, we will usher in an unprecedented new era... Are you ready?"

"Yes, Master."

Chapter 21 A Brand New Future

"Brother Tianmeng, how is the Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm doing?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"No problem, just dizzy, perfectly healthy." Tianmeng possessed the mechanical insect and lay on the body of the thousand-year-old ice silkworm that had fallen to the side.

"Elder Yi, here are some reference samples of blood pact drawing methods from the magical world, as well as samples of spell circles related to summoning magic." Huo Yuhao then turned to look at Electrolux's little robot.

Electrolux floated to the side, pulling a screen from the machine's body. The screen was densely covered with summoning spells and blood pact runes.

The runes were small and numerous, but Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes could see them effortlessly. Moreover, these were just for reference; he already knew how to draw them by heart.

“Everything is ready, son, everything is foolproof,” Electrox said, a surge of excitement rising within him at this pioneering endeavor.

"And the flow of energy through the body's meridians and mental state." Huo Yuhao scanned Bai Zhen's body with his mental probe. "No problems there either."

"It seems like I'm the only one with nothing to do." Hyotei coldly watched the busy crowd in his spiritual sea, wondering what kind of trouble they were up to.

"Since there are no problems, let's begin the experiment." Huo Yuhao said and got to work.

He first used mental detection and simulation to surround the area, setting up an illusion array to ensure there was no interference, and then took a drop of essence blood from Bai Zhen and Bing Can.

Under Huo Yuhao's masterful mental manipulation, the essence and blood of humans and soul beasts merged together.

Then, Huo Yuhao used his mental power as a pen and his blood essence as ink to draw runes resembling a blood pact on Bai Zhen's smooth hand.

The runes were connected to the white meridians through mental energy, and then connected to her ice-block martial soul through the meridians.

Then, Huo Yuhao turned to draw on the unconscious ice silkworm, and the rune pattern was exactly the same as the one on Bai Zhen's hand.

Bai Zhen felt something was off. Her soul power had suddenly grown much stronger, and her soul seemed to have more connections with the outside world, as if... she had a second martial soul.

After completing both tasks, even someone with Huo Yuhao's powerful mental strength felt exhausted, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead in the icy snow.

"Finally finished."

Huo Yuhao didn't have time to rest and eagerly went to Bai Zhen's side to see her changes.

Tianmeng and Electrolux also gathered around, after all, this was the result of their joint experiment.

"How was it? How was it?" Tianmeng asked.

"Don't rush, what's the hurry, you big worm!" Despite his words, Old Yi's tone was full of anticipation.

"Well……"
