Chapter 54: You Seem a Bit Too Extreme
Xu Jiujiu was momentarily stunned, surprised by what she had just heard. "Brother… you want me to become a Twin Martial Soul Master?"
Xu Jiawei nodded. "Yes. It all depends on whether you're willing. If you are, I will dedicate the full power of the Star Luo Empire to cultivating you into either a Super Douluo or even an Ultimate Douluo." He watched Xu Jiujiu closely, waiting for her answer.
Xu Jiujiu shook her head and calmly analyzed the situation.
"Brother, even if I become a Twin Martial Soul Master, it won't change much.
There have been very few Twin Martial Soul users in history, and even fewer have reached Super Douluo or Ultimate Douluo level.
Even if I agree to your plan, turning me into an Ultimate Douluo would still be incredibly difficult."
She continued, her tone serious.
"Moreover, Sun Moon Empire will inevitably wage war on the three Douluo nations in the future. Right now, they're merely gathering their strength.
Rather than making me a Twin Martial Soul user, wouldn't it be more effective to use this 100,000 year old Soul Beast embryo to severely wound Sun Moon Empire instead?"
Xu Jiawei fell into deep thought.
After a moment, his expression sharpened.
"You're right, Jiujiu.
I already have a plan to use this Soul Beast embryo against Sun Moon Empire.
If executed successfully, Mingde Hall will suffer a devastating blow, and we'll gain more time to prepare!"
Xu Jiujiu smiled, admiration in her eyes.
"Brother, your wisdom is unmatched! A true visionary ruler!"
Hearing this, Xu Jiawei stood up, clasping his hands behind his back. His voice brimmed with confidence.
"For now, only you know about my plan. Sun Moon has no idea what's coming.
They are in the light, while we are in the shadows. The advantage is ours!"
He turned to her and ordered
"Jiujiu, send spies to closely monitor every move of Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's team."
"Yes, Brother!"
Star Dou Forest
Jing Hongchen flew swiftly through the sky, carrying Huo Yuhao with him.
"Huo Yuhao, your soul power has reached Rank 30.
I'll help you hunt a Soul Beast so you can obtain your third Soul Ring and become a Soul Elder!"
Then, he paused for a moment before making a suggestion.
"But are you absolutely sure you don't want to wait until we return to Sun Moon and look for a Demon Eye Soul Beast instead?
Sun Moon Empire might lack diverse Soul Beast resources, but Demon Eye Beasts are unique to us!
Not to mention, the Demon Eyed Tyrant Master is literally our imperial totem."
Before coming to Star Luo City, Huo Yuhao had been given various natural treasures by the academy to rapidly increase his soul power.
Now that he had reached Rank 30, he was eligible for his third Soul Ring.
However, after obtaining this ring, the academy could no longer freely provide such treasures.
While those elixirs had no immediate side effects, consuming too many could eventually hinder his potential.
Of course, according to Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Record, any elixir listed as beneficial would never harm the user no matter how overpowered its effects seemed.
A prime example was the Qiankun Creation Pill, which greatly boosted cultivation with no drawbacks.
Huo Yuhao immediately declined.
"Dean, there's no need. I want a purely spiritual Soul Beast for my third Soul Ring."
"The Demon Eye Beast isn't an ideal match.
According to my research, while most Demon Eyes have spiritual attributes, very few are purely spiritual.
Most of them possess multiple attributes, which isn't what I need."
In the original story, Huo Yuhao killed a 10,000 year Demon Eyed Tyrant, which provoked a 100,000 year purely spiritual Demon Eyed Tyrant.
After he killed that one as well, he ended up enraging the Demon Eyed Tyrant Master.
This alone proved how rare purely spiritual Demon Eye Beasts were.
For the Demon Eye species, the purer their spiritual power, the greater their potential.
Any highly pure Demon Eyed Beast would be closely monitored by the Demon Eyed Tyrant Master.
After all, the Tyrant Master itself was purely spiritual.
In the world of Douluo, bloodline determines everything.
A strong bloodline or Martial Soul leads to great power.
A weak bloodline results in mediocrity.
For example
Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bears were so powerful that a mere 10,000 year old one could fight a normal Titled Douluo.
In contrast, the Skydream Iceworm had millions of years of cultivation but was inherently weak due to its species.
Of course, Ji Juechen was a special case.
Despite being born with only Rank 3 Innate Soul Power, he still became a Titled Douluo through sheer effort and talent.
Even with elixirs, this was an incredible achievement.
For Huo Yuhao, Electrolux had already developed a method to create Spirit Souls.
His third Soul Ring would take the form of a Spirit Soul.
Thus, getting another Demon Eye Spirit Soul would be redundant.
After all
No Demon Eye Spirit Soul could match the value of the Demon Eyed Tyrant Master.
If everything went according to plan, one day, Huo Yuhao would turn the Tyrant Master into a full fledged Spirit Soul.
The Hunt for a Soul Beast
Jing Hongchen nodded approvingly.
"You're right. A pure spiritual type Soul Beast is the best choice.
The Star Dou Forest has the largest variety of Soul Beasts in all of Douluo Continent.
I'm sure we'll find one for you here!"
With that, he continued flying with Huo Yuhao.
Along the way, they encountered several Soul Beasts, but none were suitable, so they ignored them.
Eventually, they arrived at a small forest.
Within it, a cluster of serpents slithered across the ground.
Their bodies were silvery white, with scales like gemstones that shimmered beautifully under the sunlight.
Jing Hongchen's eyes lit up.
"Silver Jade Snakes!
Not bad. These Soul Beasts have spiritual attributes."
"Huo Yuhao, choose one. I'll injure it for you, so you can absorb its Soul Ring."
"However, the remaining Silver Jade Snakes I plan to capture all of them and bring them back to Sun Moon Empire!"
Huo Yuhao blinked in confusion.
"Bring them back to Sun Moon?"
Jing Hongchen patiently explained
"Yes.
Sun Moon Empire lacks Soul Beast resources.
Capturing them is our only way to mitigate the shortage."
"Once you absorb your Soul Ring, we'll continue hunting.
We need to capture as many small Soul Beasts as possible to increase Sun Moon's biodiversity!"
Huo Yuhao stared at Jing Hongchen for a moment, thinking
"You seem a bit too extreme."
But after giving it more thought, he realized
"Actually… it does make sense."
He then asked curiously
"Dean, do you have enough Storage Soul Tools to hold so many live Soul Beasts?"
In the world of Douluo, Storage Soul Tools that could hold living creatures did exist.
For instance, Dugu Bo once gave Tang San a Treasure Bag that could store living things.
