"Give it a few years. Once this little brat breaks through to Soul Ancestor, the influence of his martial soul will naturally fade."
"Many thanks, Your Excellency."Zhou Qi bowed deeply. After hesitating a bit, he said, "I don't know… what Your Excellency thinks of Xiao Yang?"
"What do you want to say?"
Huo Yuhao gave him a flat look. He had heard something similar from Ning Zhiyuan not long ago—except that guy was trying to send him a daughter. Zhou Yang, on the other hand, was a boy.
But the truth was… he guessed wrong.
Zhou Qi cautiously added, "If possible, this subordinate hopes Xiao Yang could take you as his master."
After speaking, Zhou Qi nervously glanced at Huo Yuhao from the corner of his eye, terrified that His Excellency might suspect him of coveting authority within the Celestial Court.
His worries, however, were unnecessary—Huo Yuhao didn't think in that direction at all.
"No need for disciples. But a talent like this shouldn't be wasted. Take him to the Spirit Ascension Hall and let him cultivate in the Golden Domain."
Huo Yuhao had no plans to take another student. Su Shan'er had been a special case—because she couldn't be poisoned to death. He simply didn't have the time to pour effort into another person. So he rejected Zhou Qi without hesitation.
But he wasn't heartless either. Zhou Yang's talent was monstrous; giving him a backdoor wasn't an issue. Besides, the Zhou clan had contributed plenty to the Celestial Court's rapid development.
Zhou Qi was disappointed, but he understood. His Excellency was still young, and also in his own golden period of cultivation—he really shouldn't be distracted.
"Your Excellency… what about Xiao Yang's martial soul?"
Now that he confirmed his son's body was stable, Zhou Qi began worrying about the martial soul itself.
"Above top-tier, below divine-grade. Innate full soul power."
Huo Yuhao's figure had already vanished, but his voice lingered in the air.
Hearing this, everyone present was utterly shocked.Innate full soul power.A martial soul above top-tier.This was unmistakably a super–Douluo seed.
Normally, martial souls were divided into five ranks:Trash-grade—Blue Silver Grass being the prime example. Awakening a trash-soul usually came with no soul power, and even if there was, the upper limit was pitiful.
Ordinary-grade—the vast majority of soul masters. Wild boars, blue wolves, etc. Their potential peaked at Soul Emperor.
High-grade—quite a few examples: Cat Eagle, Strength Diamond Bear.These owners, unless they were lazy, were guaranteed Soul Saint-level. Soul Douluo wasn't hard, and with enough effort, a Title Douluo wasn't impossible either.
Top-tier—true seeds of Title Douluo.Like the Body Sect's "Unkillable Poison" martial soul, Xuanzi's Taotie Black Bull, and Mu En's Light Saint Dragon.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon also counted, but among top-tier martial souls, it wasn't anything too special.Dai Clan's Evil-Eyed White Tiger? Even worse—bottom of the top-tier bucket.
Divine-grade martial souls—true god-rank, possessed in history only by the Angel lineage of the Qian Clan and Sea God Island.The Qian Clan inherited the Six-Winged Angel, while Sea God Island's candidates could receive the Sea God martial soul via divine trial.
Every divine-grade martial soul had the potential to reach rank 99 Limit Douluo.
If Zhou Yang were Huo Yuhao's age—or older—Yuhao would absolutely invest in him. But Zhou Yang was just too young.
A strong individual needed time to grow; before that, he was only a "genius," not a "powerhouse."Huo Yuhao didn't believe that when his true enemies arrived, Zhou Yang would have grown enough to be useful.So he didn't pay too much attention to him.
That aside… innate full soul power, and yet the original story never mentioned him.Did something happen to the kid before he could spread his wings?
Honestly, the possibility was high. A few years later was exactly when the Sun–Moon Empire launched its war.
And just now, if Huo Yuhao hadn't intervened, the boy would've exploded and died on the spot.
This era was not kind—not to anyone.
Still, for such a talent to fall right into Huo Yuhao's lap… it made him sigh at the strange workings of fate.The Child of Destiny truly lived up to the title.
Huo Yuhao didn't care—but someone else did.Sword Douluo Chen Feng.
The natural killing intent in Zhou Yang's martial soul—so similar to his own Seven Kill Sword—had hit him first, even before it hit Huo Yuhao. He had simply been a bit late in arriving.
Chen Feng now stared at Zhou Yang like he was a priceless treasure.Clearly, the Title Douluo had the intention to take him as a disciple.
What? You say a saber isn't the same as a sword?It's called a horse-slaying saber—or a horse-slaying sword. Close enough.
But the moment he revealed his intentions, Zhou Qi tactfully declined.
Truthfully, he was tempted—who wouldn't be?A Super Douluo as your child's master meant a godlike future.
But right now, he couldn't afford to be too close to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
First, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had the strongest influence within the Celestial Court. Getting too close to them might make His Excellency suspicious.
Second, Zhou Qi knew that Huo Yuhao currently didn't trust the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at all.
In fact, not just Huo Yuhao—even Zhou Qi doubted Ning Zhiyuan's motives.Historically, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had never sought refuge with anyone—not even at their most desperate. So why did they join the Celestial Court now?
Meanwhile, setting aside the internal scheming of the Celestial Court—
After returning to Sea God Island, Zhang Lexuan immediately sought out Mu En and relayed everything she had witnessed in the divine-bestowed space, particularly Yuanjue's evaluation of Huo Yuhao.
Mu En took the matter extremely seriously and convened a Sea God Pavilion meeting on the spot. Virtually all Elders attended.
During the meeting, Zhang Lexuan retold the events.After understanding the situation, every elder's expression turned solemn.
Some suggested eliminating Huo Yuhao, calling him an unpredictable variable.Shrek's position could not be shaken, they argued.The Sea God Pavilion had to uphold justice and purge all evil.
Nice rhetoric—but the truth was obvious: they wanted to eliminate a threat.
Everyone knew it but no one said it aloud.And surprisingly, many supported the idea of wiping out the Celestial Court early and judging Huo Yuhao.
The loudest among them was Xuanzi.He interacted with Huo Yuhao the most and knew the boy carried a faint hostility toward Shrek.
The proposal to destroy the Celestial Court came from Xuanzi himself.
But others considered the Abyssal Plane and insisted that now was not the time for internal conflict.
Besides, although the Celestial Court was newly founded, its influence wasn't small.They were friendly with the Body Sect, and now even the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had joined them.
Fighting such a force was unwise.The two sides argued endlessly, convincing no one.
Not only the Sea God Pavilion—The Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Sun–Moon Empire, and the Mingde Hall all held emergency meetings.
But most of them chose to watch from the sidelines.The Celestial Court, Body Sect, and Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had no direct conflict with them—and none of those factions were pushovers.
