Chapter 73 A tacit understanding
Huo Yuhao could feel that as these fear dragon skulls "awakened", yellow mental flames flickered in their dark eyes, and huge mental powers connected with each other.

It was as if a huge cage had been formed, trying to imprison Huo Yuhao, who had disturbed them, inside it. This mental cage was still constantly squeezing inwards, trying to oppress Huo Yuhao's spirit.

In addition to this, this huge spiritual cage is also filled with various spiritual forces that can stir up the most primitive and fearful emotions in the hearts of living beings.

These spiritual forces are constantly trying to influence Huo Yuhao's heart.

But as this process lasted for about a few minutes, Huo Yuhao just looked around, sizing up the rooms and skulls around him.

And as for Moon, who was still outside the corridor and communicating and influencing the other six people through his mental power, Huo Yuhao could see through the Eye of Truth that Moon was paying attention to him, but did not speak.

But now that he had come this far, Huo Yuhao was not going to hide any longer. After all, the more he hid, the more he would be exposed. Revealing some of his "trump cards" at the right time would help to deceive others.

"How does this induce fear?" Huo Yuhao was currently analyzing the mental power waveforms formed by the residual mental power of the thousand fear dragons after their death through his true eyes.

Through Huo Yuhao's observation, these so-called skulls that only retain residual spiritual power after their "natural death" show this structure.

Except for some skulls that were indeed the result of natural death, most of the skulls of the Dread Dragon were vaguely entwined with patterns composed of alien soul power.

It was these lines that sealed the Fear Dragon's spiritual power in its long-dead body, preserving it until now.

This should be some kind of secret method. Before killing the Dread Dragon, the spirit sealed in the skull is separated by secret method, and then the skull is preserved.

After all, as a subspecies of earth dragon, the reproduction of the Dread Dragon race is not very large, and the sub-dragon race is related to the dragon race after all.

Its own potential and lifespan are at least that of a ten thousand year soul beast. Even if it dies naturally due to injuries, it will take at least a thousand years.

The fact that Shrek Academy was able to collect 1,001 skulls of Dread Dragons that died of natural causes in just 800 years is very telling.

On the Douluo Continent, thousands of years after the Seven Gods ascended, according to the records of the Shrek Academy's outer school library, only a small number of the Dread Dragon's descendants remained in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the total number would never be large.

Let’s not discuss this matter for now. To be honest, in Huo Yuhao’s opinion, there is no right or wrong in this approach. In a world where the strong prey on the weak, strong is right and weak is wrong. The Fear Dragon is not strong enough, so it is normal for it to be targeted and exterminated because of its own special nature.

Now, apart from those with the same "color" and similar waveforms, through the analysis of the Eye of Truth, it is discovered that these spiritual power fluctuations that combine with each other originate from the spiritual power waveforms other than those of the Fear Dragon itself.

Huo Yuhao observed that in this huge mental cage that enveloped him, there was actually a lot of redundant mental power mixed in.

These complex mental forces are not necessarily sinister and difficult to eliminate.

Rather, it means that although the "color", strength, and level of these spiritual powers are different, there are no exceptions.

These mental powers are emitting waveforms that symbolize "fear", and the mental forces aroused by these fear dragon skulls are now oppressive.

In fact, it is through mental force that these mental forces containing the emotion of "fear" are squeezed into the spiritual sea of ​​the affected person.

Then, through the double impact of external mental power and external "fear" emotion, it is used to disrupt, deceive, and draw out the fear in the heart of the affected person.

This should be the operating logic of the Fear Dragon's innate ability. As for the first creature hunted by the Fear Dragon, where did the fear come from?
Huo Yuhao guessed that it probably came from the fear of the Fear Dragon itself.

Because Huo Yuhao discovered that at the root of all those complicated emotions of fear.

It is the same level and color of the spiritual power as the Fear Dragon, and they are connected to each other, but the waveform is different, and it exudes the spiritual power of fear.

Because maybe some people are strong enough in their hearts to suppress their own fears and remain calm even when facing a catastrophe.

But when someone uses fear as a weapon to forcefully penetrate the mental will of the person being attacked, then the clash of spirits will shake the person being attacked.

Even though one could have calmly suppressed one's own distracting thoughts and fears, the fear that was originally buried deep in the heart will now be drawn out.

"It's quite interesting, but if it's just this level, the analysis is almost complete." Huo Yuhao thought so, although he did not activate the second awakening form of his martial soul.

But after the second awakening, the level of spiritual power that has risen to the tangible and intangible level is enough for the Eye of Truth to complete faster and more accurate analysis.

'After that, I can also use my mental power to simulate the innate ability of the Dread Dragon. It seems that I don't need to consider the Dread Dragon for the third soul ring.'

At the same time, Huo Yuhao also heard Moon's voice. His old voice echoed in the room.

"I thought I had overestimated you, kid, but I didn't expect that I was wrong after all."

As the sound echoed, the spiritual flames of the fear dragons that were originally stimulated and awakened by the intrusion of outsiders began to dim and go out one by one.

This is actually not accurate. It is more like due to external mental interference, it was forced into hibernation and sleep in order to preserve the remaining mental power.

After all, for Huo Yuhao, the mental oppression of these fear dragons, whether as a tempering or an attempt to influence him, was completely inadequate. After the second awakening, Huo Yuhao's mental power had reached a tangible but intangible level.

Although only the mental power level has reached the standard, the amount of mental power accumulated by Huo Yuhao himself is still far from the normal tangible and intangible level, but it is more than enough to protect himself.

However, it is not easy to collect the skulls of these fear dragons, even with secret methods, so it is better to continue wasting the mental power contained in them.

It would be better to put it away early, so Moon took action and forced the spiritual power in the skull of the fear dragon here into dormancy. After all, these things are rootless water and will continue to be consumed.

"I didn't expect that your mental strength has reached this level now." Moon said with some regret, and sighed secretly in his heart.

It was a pity that he had not discovered Huo Yuhao's talent earlier. Although it was still young, it had already grown into a seedling. It would be very difficult to interfere with it. "Although I understand that this accumulation of spiritual power could never be achieved by relying on your own accumulation, a second-ring great spirit master could not have achieved it by himself."

"There must be a lot of adventures in this, because in my eyes, your spiritual power is still not enough, but your level alone is already very high. Many weaker Title Douluo are not as good as you in terms of spiritual level."

"This is no longer something that can be explained by a spiritual attribute martial soul. Since your martial soul is your body martial soul, I think that your body martial soul has probably completed a second awakening by chance, and the level must be extremely high."

“Huo Yuhao, do you think what I said is right or wrong?”

Huo Yuhao did not deny it but nodded.

After all, the secret method of the second awakening of the main body martial soul has always been strictly guarded by the main body sect.

But if there is one, there will be a second one. The secret method of the second awakening of the Body Sect was also created by the first generation Body Douluo of the Body Sect.

It is not impossible for Huo Yuhao to complete the second awakening of his martial soul by himself.

On the contrary, if Huo Yuhao’s mental power level had not been transformed due to the second awakening of his martial soul, it would have been a little hard to imagine.

What kind of natural treasures can allow a second-ring soul master to complete the transformation of his spiritual power to the tangible and intangible level?
At this moment, Moon just felt regretful. This was such a good seedling. It would be great if he belonged to his Shrek Academy.

However, now that Huo Yuhao’s mental power level has reached such a level, Moon originally planned to rely on the fear environment created by the fear dragon’s mental power to oppress him.

At the same time, his plan to interfere with Huo Yuhao's future path by using his words and mental power to guide him and make him loyal to Shrek Academy also fell through.

The second awakening of Huo Yuhao’s original martial soul, if it was not passed down from his clan, could only mean that Huo Yuhao’s original martial soul was at a very high level from the beginning, and that he had excellent talent and opportunities.

Now the matter is settled. With Huo Yuhao's level of mental strength, it is unlikely that Moon will interfere subtly. If he tries to influence him forcefully, it will be bad.

After all, the best result of Moon's forced influence is that he can use the quality of his mental power to forcibly suppress Huo Yuhao and instill in him the idea of ​​being loyal to Shrek Academy.

But in this case, Huo Yuhao's greatest advantage, his talent in mental power, would be completely wasted.

Because only when Huo Yuhao's mental power is suppressed by Moon En can Moon En ensure that Huo Yuhao follows his own ideas and takes the path he needs Huo Yuhao to take.

But in this case, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power can only remain at its current level at best, without any improvement. For a soul master whose main talent is spiritual power, this is undoubtedly useless.

The worst result is that Huo Yuhao's mental strength cannot withstand his own oppression, but at the same time he is unwilling to be influenced by Moon.

In the end, he chose to perish together with his enemies, and to die together. Then, losing a genius for no reason was not a good thing. After all, if he did not make any profit, he would lose money.

As for the worst outcome, it is the second awakening of Huo Yuhao’s martial soul that he has now achieved. There is a great opportunity behind it. It may be the inheritance of a strong person, or it may be a relic from ancient times, or even a trial from a god.

In this case, if Moon continues to use tough measures to influence Huo Yuhao, he might instead cultivate a young enemy with terrifying potential who will never give up and will never give up for Shrek Academy. This is an even worse option.

Moreover, based on Moon’s previous observations and understanding of Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao’s sense of belonging to Shrek Academy was not deep, so it would be difficult to subdue him without external force.

Instead of doing this, since it is impossible to subdue Huo Yuhao and his loyalty cannot be guaranteed, it is better to give him some benefits first, stabilize him and then negotiate with the Body Sect.

After all, such a genius is something that the Body Sect cannot give up. By then, they will be able to establish a pretty good relationship with a future powerhouse like Huo Yuhao.

It can also ease the relationship with the Body Sect, and find a way to get some "thank you gifts" from the Body Sect and exchange benefits. This is the perfect solution that Moon can think of now.

With this in mind, Moon continued, "Can you show me your martial soul after the second awakening? Apart from the Body Sect, I have never seen a second awakening of the body martial soul in an outsider."

Huo Yuhao politely declined, “I’m sorry, but the cost of activating the second awakening of the martial soul is quite high, and it will damage your vitality. If I just want to watch, please don’t embarrass me, Mr. Mu.”

After that, Moon En didn't say much. After all, martial spirit is indeed a personal privacy, and he didn't intend to continue asking. He said, "Since this place is not suitable for you, Yuhao, come out first. I will take you to another room."

"Although that room is not suitable for a spiritual soul master, it is widely used and has many benefits for the soul master's training and cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was a little confused about what this old fox Moon was up to, but since he had already pointed it out, Huo Yuhao naturally didn't need to pretend anymore.

"Mr. Mu, you can't accept rewards without merit. Moreover, after graduating from the outer courtyard, I don't plan to continue to study in the inner courtyard. Instead, I plan to travel around the continent to broaden my horizons."

"It doesn't matter. You are still a student of our Shrek Academy. As a teacher, I must treat you equally."

"As a member of the same generation as the Shrek Seven Devils, you should also enjoy the same treatment as your companions. As for what happens after graduation, we will talk about it after graduation."

"After all, today, you are still from Shrek Academy. Even if you go to other countries on the continent, you can still claim this identity."

"If you are interested in the body spirit, I can also help you contact the hidden sect, the Body Sect. You should be familiar with the Body Sect, although it is not well-known."

"But you, who were called 'librarian' by your classmates in your first year, should have known something about this."

Huo Yuhao nodded and no longer refused. Now he naturally understood Moon’s meaning and reached a tacit understanding with him.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Mu."
