Chapter 91: Martial Spirit 'Original Body'

Half a year passed in a flash.

Even as the forces on Douluo Continent were changing rapidly and undercurrents were surging, these changes did not affect Huo Yuhao in the Body Sect at all.

Moreover, the fourth soul ring brought by the sacrifice of the five-tailed white fox provided Huo Yuhao with a large amount of soul power. Just a few days ago, Huo Yuhao's soul power cultivation had successfully broken through the bottleneck of level 50.

Therefore, under Jin Peng's arrangement, this news was delivered to the sect leader Du Bu Si, who had left the sect to make plans outside, as quickly as possible, and Du Bu Si therefore returned to the Benti Sect.

Looking at the boy whose face is still somewhat immature, one should know that Huo Yuhao is now only halfway through his thirteen years old, and his progress in cultivation has far exceeded Du Bu Si's expectations.

"I originally thought that even with your aptitude, Yuhao, it would take at least a year to reach level 50 after absorbing the fourth soul ring."

"I never thought that in just half a year, you have already achieved such a high level of cultivation. Now it seems that even your sixth and seventh soul rings will have to be put on the agenda."

Du Bu Si let out a long sigh after checking Huo Yuhao's current inborn strength and cultivation. They were both extremely solid, and his cultivation was steady and not superficial at all.

According to his original estimate, Huo Yuhao would have to stay in the realm of the Four-Ring Soul Sect for about a year, and then with his help, he would inherit the seed of the Body Sect's inheritance and absorb the fifth soul ring.

Even though he has a hundred thousand year spirit ring as a foundation, most of the cultivation and energy in this hundred thousand year spirit ring will probably be used to help Huo Yuhao adapt to his new original martial soul.

In this way, it would take Huo Yuhao about two years to complete the five rings, and this period of time was enough for everyone in the Body Sect to search for a 100,000-year-old spiritual attribute soul beast that was suitable for Huo Yuhao.

However, based on Huo Yuhao's current training speed, this plan would probably have to be greatly advanced.

After all, hundred thousand year soul beasts are hard to find, and soul beasts with spiritual attributes suitable for Huo Yuhao are even harder to find. I'm afraid that the major soul beast gathering places on the continent are not a good choice.

The corresponding existence can only be found in the vast deep sea that has not been developed by soul masters.

However, the difficulty of exploring the deep sea is not the same as exploring the soul beast gathering places on the mainland. Even for the Body Sect, which has a lot of experience in sea hunting souls, it is still a difficult task.

Moreover, finding the hundred thousand year soul beast is only the first step. The biggest challenge is how to hunt it down and ensure that it does not escape, or prevent it from being rescued by other related hundred thousand year soul beasts or even ferocious beasts.

These plans undoubtedly require sending strong people to prepare, so even if the poison is not fatal, it is still a headache at this time. The headache is that the talent of the sect's heir is too strong. Maybe this is the trouble of happiness.

"Lai Yuhao, you must first absorb and comprehend the inheritance seed of my Body Sect, and transform your Body Martial Soul, Spirit Eyes, into your True Body Martial Soul."

Putting these future matters aside for the moment, Du Bu Si was still preparing to pass on the seed of inheritance to Huo Yuhao step by step and help him absorb the 100,000-year spirit ring first.

As for what to do next, the original plan to besiege Mingde Hall could be put on hold for now, and more manpower could be used to help Huo Yuhao find the target of his sixth soul ring.

After all, for the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao’s existence is much more important than besieging Mingde Hall and building a low-end military industrial system.

Huo Yuhao nodded, and Du Bu Si directly summoned his original martial spirit to possess him.

Its whole body was shining brightly, accompanied by the golden light of martial soul awakening. From the golden light of Du Bu Si's martial soul awakening, a drop of crystal like blood slowly emerged.

This is exactly what has been nurtured by successive lords of the Body Sect. Only each lord of the Body Sect is qualified to possess it, and only by using it can one complete the inheritance seed for evolving the second awakening of the gold-level martial soul.

This seed of inheritance, which embodies the hard work of successive leaders of the Body Sect, floated in the air.

Du Bu Si immediately shouted: "Yu Hao, summon your martial soul awakening light and shadow, draw the resonance of the inheritance seed, and absorb it!"

Through the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao saw through the essence of the so-called 'Seed of Inheritance'. This was actually something that the first generation of the Body Douluo of the Body Sect had improved based on his own body martial spirit.

The original martial soul of the first-generation body Douluo should have been a blood-type original martial soul at the beginning. Coupled with some kind of coincidence, his martial soul underwent a transformation and became the original martial soul.

The foundation of his martial soul is engraved in this seed of blood. Only those members of the original sect whose golden-level martial soul has awakened for the second time can use this seed of inheritance to promote the evolution of their own martial soul.

However, this way of evolution is more like replicating a road that has already been walked by predecessors, and then adding new understanding of one's own to complete the road.

In this case, this will result in each generation of the Body Sect's Body Douluo, as long as they complete the evolution of their martial souls, inheriting this seed of inheritance.

Then the next generation of Douluo, whose original martial soul evolved with the help of the seed of inheritance, will be stronger than the previous generation of Douluo, or in other words, more in line with the concept of original martial soul.

It’s a pity that in the original novel, with the deaths of Du Bu Si and Long Aotian, this seed of inheritance, which could only be held by the people of the original sect who had a second awakening of the golden-level martial spirit, was cut off here.

Even in the later era of the Dragon King Legend, the Body Sect still had its inheritance, but they could only rely on external forces to stimulate newborn babies from an early age, forcing their awakened martial souls to be closer to their body martial souls, or even their original martial souls.

However, this method does not have any room for improvement, and even the most basic inheritance rate cannot be achieved. Even in the later generations of the Body Sect, each generation of the Sect Master may not necessarily possess a true original martial spirit.

This is the real reason that led to the decline of the Body Sect. After all, compared to the second awakening of the golden-level martial soul that can only burst out power temporarily.

The basic strength and overall power of the original martial soul, as well as the degree to which it enhances the soul master's talents, are incomparable to other original martial souls that only enhance parts.

It's a pity that compared to the Seed of Inheritance's stupid method of trial and error bit by bit, relying on the efforts of each generation of Douluo to piece together a correct path from the mistakes.

Possessing the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao has already found a path of his own. He uses the light and shadow of his martial soul awakening to guide the seed of inheritance. With the help of the energy contained in the seed of inheritance, Huo Yuhao begins to promote the evolution of his own martial soul.

According to the spiritual attribute martial soul model structure he had constructed before, Huo Yuhao's martial soul began to take shape little by little.

Similarly, the path of a more complete and comprehensive body martial soul begins to repair the direction of evolution engraved by successive generations of body Douluo in the seeds of inheritance.

Ten days, this state lasted for ten days, and Huo Yuhao finally successfully evolved his martial soul. During this period, the power contained in the inheritance seed was also absorbed by Huo Yuhao to evolve his martial soul.

Seeing this, Du Bu Si also restored the seed of inheritance and absorbed it into his body.

"Okay, Yuhao, carefully experience the changes in your martial spirit. Every time you use the Seed of Inheritance, it will consume a lot of energy stored in it."

"And with your current cultivation, it is not enough to nourish it. When you become a Titled Douluo one day, I can safely hand over the Body Sect and the Seed of Inheritance to you."

Looking at Huo Yuhao, whose entire body was enveloped in spiritual power and emitting the same spiritual brilliance as his previous 'Spirit Eyes', Du Bu Si smiled with satisfaction.

"Although the energy consumed in your body in the past ten days, Yuhao, has been replenished by the inheritance seeds, but at the beginning of your martial soul, your body's demand for energy and blood will also increase significantly."

"Go ahead. Your master has already arranged everything for you. Take the meals and pills prepared by the sect. After a few days of adaptation, you should be able to truly master the power of your own martial spirit."

Feeling the influence brought about by the changes in his martial soul, Huo Yuhao did not answer Du Bushi's words.

When Du Bu Si saw this, he just smiled slightly, didn't say much, turned around and left Huo Yuhao's training room.

He still has a lot of things to do next, and as a body Douluo, he naturally had the same experience as Huo Yuhao before.

He knew that Huo Yuhao was just temporarily unable to control his new martial soul and body, but his perception of the outside world would only become more sensitive, so he would definitely be able to hear what he said.

It was indeed just as Du Bu Si had thought. At this moment, Huo Yuhao was experiencing the birth of his 'original martial soul' after he was upgraded from the Eye of Truth.

Unlike the previous Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao's mental power can now be released from the body more easily and is also more powerful.

Moreover, the abilities of the Eye of Truth were also perfectly inherited by his current martial soul. These were all within Huo Yuhao’s expectations.

However, unlike expectations, with the help of the energy of the seed of inheritance, Huo Yuhao also integrated the power of the second awakening of his martial soul into this new "original martial soul".

Compared to the previous Eye of Truth, after possessing the body, the current 'original martial soul' can 'understand' all the materials, soul skills, and even energy that Huo Yuhao comes into contact with.

Then, according to Huo Yuhao's wishes, he can directly "decompose" these substances, soul skills, and energy. This is an ability that can only be exerted after the second awakening of the martial soul.

Although it is not possible to transform mental power into tentacles and 'decompose' the objects it touches like the second awakening of the martial soul, the abilities of the current 'original martial soul' are undoubtedly more suitable for defense and self-protection than the second awakening of the martial soul.

When he opened his eyes, it was already night, and Huo Yuhao felt extremely hungry. According to Du Bu Si's previous instructions, Huo Yuhao had a big meal of top-quality medicinal food prepared by the Body Sect.

I just felt that my body was satisfied for the first time, but it was just an illusion after being full.

Back in the training room, Du Bu Si was already waiting there. From his hand, a soul core that was stained with dark green soul power, but still had its original silver-white color, slowly floated in front of Huo Yuhao.

“Yuhao, just use your strongest spirit skill to smash it. Don’t worry. With your master here, this evil-eyed tyrant won’t be able to cause any trouble.”

It was indeed as Du Bu Si said, under the comprehensive suppression of his soul power, the soul crystal core of the Evil Eye Tyrant could not even cause a trace of mental fluctuation.

All of his strength was suppressed in the silver crystal core, and he was like a lamb to be slaughtered, allowing Huo Yuhao to prey on him.

Huo Yuhao naturally had no concerns, but Du Bu Si was different from what he expected. He did not plan to kill the Evil Eye Tyrant directly. After all, it would be a waste to do so.

A silver light shone from between Huo Yuhao’s brows. At the same time, a golden shadow appeared faintly behind Huo Yuhao. As the spiritual power of the Eye of Truth touched it, the Evil Eye Tyrant in the silver soul crystal core let out a silent wail.

The Evil Eye Tyrant, who had been feeding on the souls of other soul beasts and humans for years and absorbing their spiritual power to strengthen himself, felt for the first time the pain of his own soul being devoured.

The soul devouring performed in the state of Eye of Truth split every bit of the Evil Eye Tyrant's soul in the most minute detail.

This means that only the purest source of spiritual power can be retained, and even any consciousness and residual thoughts of the Evil Eye Tyrant will be completely decomposed.

After devouring all of the Evil Eye Tyrant's spiritual power, this powerful soul beast with a hundred thousand years of cultivation died completely.

After that, Huo Yuhao put away the light and shadow of his martial soul's second awakening, and felt that his mental strength was replenished a lot again.

He also became more and more adept at using the secondary awakening ability of his martial soul.

Having lost the soul at its core, this silver soul crystal became a little dimmer and also much more fragile.

Huo Yuhao attached the soul power to his hand and shattered the outer shell with a casual strike. A blood-red but somewhat dim soul ring floated in front of Huo Yuhao.

Needless to say, the following process happened. Without any will left, the huge energy contained in the spirit ring alone was not enough to shake Huo Yuhao at this moment.

After Huo Yuhao's martial soul evolved and turned into his 'original martial soul', his demand for energy would only be greater than what the Eye of Truth required before.

Without the interference of the Evil Eye Tyrant's soul, the spiritual power impact contained in this soul ring was like a breeze on the face to Huo Yuhao's incomparably powerful spiritual sea, and was not worth paying attention to.

As five soul rings appeared one after another under Huo Yuhao’s feet, the blood-red fifth soul ring made Du Bu Si cheer again and again.

“Okay, okay, you are worthy of being my disciple. Hahaha, the fifth soul ring of one hundred thousand years, I want to see what Shrek Academy has the ability to fight against our Body Sect in the future!” Du Bu Si’s rough laughter echoed in the training room for a long time.
