"God-level martial soul?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with surprise. Even he felt a bit astonished.
The title of a god-level martial soul was not something one could casually claim. For instance, even the Haotian Sect, the owners of the so-called continent's number one tool martial soul, the Haotian Hammer, did not dare to declare their inherited martial soul as god-level.
This was because a god-level martial soul typically appeared under two conditions. One was that a top-tier martial soul underwent a second awakening due to a fortuitous event, potentially evolving or transforming, thus having a chance to become a god-level martial soul.
Throughout the history of Douluo Continent, those who possessed god-level martial souls had all left behind illustrious reputations. However, such individuals were exceedingly rare, perhaps one appearing every tens of thousands of years.
The other condition involved the soul master's martial soul being related to a deity, or the soul master possessing divine bloodline.
Because of the presence of divine inheritance laws within their bodies, the soul master's martial soul was inherently a god-level martial soul.
Soul masters with divine inheritance found that the upper limit of their innate soul power upon awakening was no longer ten levels, but a higher tier.
In the original story, Qian Renxue, the angel god defeated by Tang San ten thousand years ago, was an owner of a god-level martial soul. When she first awakened her soul power, she had already reached the level of a twenty-level Grand Soul Master.
"Could it be that my Spirit Eyes martial soul evolved into the Flame God Eyes, reaching the level of a god-level martial soul due to the stimulation from the Burning Art?" Huo Yuhao pondered silently. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
There once existed a unique fire, born between heaven and earth, taking a thousand years to form, ten thousand years to gather its spirit, and countless ages to cultivate. In the depths of its cultivation, it slightly mutated.
It was well known that once a unique fire took shape, it rarely left its birthplace. However, this fire was different. After gaining sentience, it traveled through underground magma, wandering for thousands of years, living off other fires.
The fires it consumed all had notable rankings on the Heavenly Fire List, and it had consumed twenty-one different kinds.
This fire was known as the Emperor Yan, the last Dou God and the only one who achieved Dou God status with a unique fire body on the continent where Yao Lao resided.
The Emperor Yan cultivated the Burning Art. The Emperor Yan's appearance was dazzlingly colorful, a blend of twenty-two kinds of unique fires, resembling the multicolored light behind Huo Yuhao.
"Could this be the power of the Burning Art? After all, Dou God experts are far more powerful than the deities of this world. Using a Dou God-level technique to stimulate my martial soul's mutation, resulting in a god-level martial soul, seems reasonable," Huo Yuhao nodded to himself.
Du Busi looked at Huo Yuhao, who was deep in thought, and smiled, saying, "Yuhao, I know you still have many questions. I will leave someone in Shrek City to protect you. If you encounter any difficulties in cultivating the Body Martial Soul, you can ask him or contact the main sect in the Tianhun Empire through him."
"I have to go back to Shrek City?" Huo Yuhao was stunned.
Damn it, I just managed to escape and even berated that old geezer Chicken Leg Douluo. Now you want me to go back?
Isn't this just walking into a trap? How is this any different from self-destruction?
"Sigh, I know you have many grievances against Shrek Academy, but there are powerful individuals in Shrek Academy that even I can't contend with. I have to make some compromises," Du Busi said apologetically to Huo Yuhao.
"But rest assured, that old fellow is afraid you'll hold a grudge against Shrek Academy and uproot them once you become a Titled Douluo. So, they want you to continue studying there for three more years."
"After three years, I will personally come to Shrek Academy to bring you back. As for your safety, it will be guaranteed. I trust that person's integrity. If they truly intend to harm you, they will have to deal with my ruthlessness. Even if I can't defeat that person, I can still take them down with me."
"Alright, Sect Master, since I have joined the Body Sect, I should naturally follow the sect's arrangements," Huo Yuhao said, slightly stimulating his tear ducts with his soul power, causing large tears to fall to the ground.
"Sect Master, I'm sorry for causing trouble for the Body Sect. But no matter what methods Shrek Academy employs, I will never leave the Body Sect. It was the Body Sect that gave me a chance to rise when I was at my lowest. As long as the sect doesn't abandon me, I will always be a member of the Body Sect."
"You know, I've been an orphan since childhood, but now the Body Sect has given me the warmth of a family."
"I am a member of the Body Sect. I am willing to fight for the honor of the sect. The Body Sect is my home. No matter how powerful Shrek Academy is, their actions clearly show it's not a place for me. I'm an orphan, I have no relatives, and the sect is my family!"
A moral manipulation technique with a billion-year soul skill—experience points +666666!
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Du Busi's eyes instantly reddened. The higher-ups of the Body Sect in the room also had moist eyes, with a few even bursting into tears.
So moving, truly moving! They couldn't hold back their emotions!
Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng glared at Sect Du Bushi and snorted, "Look at the mess you've made, old man!"
Du Busi chuckled helplessly. Even someone as experienced as him couldn't tell if Huo Yuhao's display was genuine or an act.
Regardless, the effect was superb. After hearing these words, the Body Sect's leaders' approval of Huo Yuhao increased significantly.
"Alright, Yuhao, I have my reasons for this decision. I hope you can understand," Du Busi said, somewhat awkwardly.
"But rest assured, even if you are in Shrek City, you will not lack any training resources. You can live comfortably in Shrek Academy without worrying about money."
Du Busi continued, with a touch of sympathy, "Since you are an orphan, you must usually lack money, right?"
"No, I usually eat at the most expensive counter in Shrek Academy," Huo Yuhao replied, shaking his head, and described his usual meals.
The people in the room looked at each other in shock. Our young disciples don't even get to eat such good food!
"Every evening after school, I set up a barbecue stall at the east gate of the academy. Plus, I get a thirty percent commission from franchise stores elsewhere. Altogether, I earn about hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins a month, so I don't lack money," Huo Yuhao shrugged.
Du Bushi's face grew even more awkward. He had intended to show off the Body Sect's wealth, but it turned out Huo Yuhao didn't lack money at all.
Hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins a month from a barbecue stall? Are you grilling ten-thousand-year soul beasts from the Star Dou Forest?
At this moment, Du Busi grasped Huo Yuhao's arm, gently squeezing it, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise.
"Your bones are like fine steel, and your skin like jade. Even in the Body Sect, few your age can match your physique. According to our information, your soul power was only at level eleven when you enrolled, but now it's at level nineteen?"
"Yes, I received a few Xuan Water Pills from the Xuanming Clan's disciples, and later obtained a Soul Ascension Pill from Shrek, which brought my cultivation to level nineteen."
Of course, Huo Yuhao wouldn't reveal Yao Lao's existence. He merely mentioned some of his recent fortuitous encounters. Du Busi and the surrounding Body Sect higher-ups exchanged glances, a look of helplessness in their eyes.
Damn, he doesn't even lack medicinal pills. What else can we use to impress him?
Finally, after a moment's thought, Du Busi said to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, fully release your martial soul. I will help your eye martial soul undergo a complete second awakening!"
