Chapter 31: Soul Version Pokémon Contest?
"A pill?"
Huo Yuhao's outstretched right hand held a golden pill.
Gu Yuena asked curiously, "Your spirit can refine fifth-grade pills now, right?
This one should be a fifth-grade pill, right? What's so magical about it?"
Huo Yuhao smiled. "The Beast Taming Contract I signed with you that day proved that only when the spirit beast's bloodline is exceptionally powerful can a Beast Taming Contract be signed without any side effects.
As everyone knows, the race with the most powerful bloodline is the dragon race.
And this newly developed Dragon Transformation Pill can instantly grant dragon blood to spirits without it!
And for spirits that already have dragon blood, it can also significantly improve the quality of their dragon bloodline!"
Gu Yuena's eyes widened. "What?
How can a fifth-grade pill have such incredible effects!"
Huo Yuhao smiled mysteriously.
Some time ago, the Evil Emperor accidentally combined dozens of blood crystal dragon vein ginseng plants into a single dragon bone blood ginseng.
Huo Yuhao's tests revealed that after absorbing this dragon bone blood ginseng, the soul's skeleton would gradually evolve towards dragon bones.
With just one more dose of dragon blood, it would become a soul with dragon blood.
However, the medicinal power contained in this dragon bone blood ginseng and its blood was so overpowering that even the Evil Emperor could barely absorb it.
So, with the blessing of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's innate Dao body, the Ice Emperor continuously studied and referenced various elixir recipes, repeatedly deducing an elixir that could moderate the medicinal power of the dragon bone blood ginseng and dragon blood.
Finally, yesterday, using the dragon bone blood ginseng and dragon blood as the core ingredients, supplemented with eleven meridian-warming herbs, they successfully refined the Dragon Transformation Pill.
What Huo Yuhao didn't tell Gu Yuena was that this elixir was actually a preparation for his soul's resurrection as a soul beast.
...
The next day.
Led by Wu Changkong, Huo Yuhao and his companions spent the whole morning strolling around Tianhai City before preparing to register.
After the tour, the children felt quite dazzled.
Although Donghai City, like Tianhai City, is adjacent to the sea, Tianhai City is in a better location, so its economy is more developed.
There are tall buildings everywhere, countless entertainment venues, and a variety of professional associations.
In addition, due to its excellent geographical location, Tianhai City also has the Federation Navy stationed here, so its military strength is also very strong.
Registration office for the Tianhai Alliance Competition.
Huo Yuhao took a sheet introducing the rules of the Tianhai Alliance Competition and studied it carefully for a long time.
He pointed to one of the items and said, "Teacher Wu, the academy should be able to help me register for this competition!
I want to participate in both competitions."
Wu Zhangkong glanced at the type of competition Huo Yuhao was pointing at.
"Hmm? A Soul Contest? Why are you participating in that?
It's not very valuable, because the souls of low-level soul masters are often related to their family's wealth.
Therefore, Soul Contests are usually only for wealthy children to improve their resumes.
The results of this kind of competition are not recognized by the two top schools, Chuanling Academy and Shrek Academy.
Only the other seven schools in the Nine Schools Alliance recognize it.
For the rest of you, participating in this kind of competition is a complete waste of time."
Tang Wulin also asked in confusion, "Yes, Boss Huo, with your strength, wouldn't you easily be in the top few places in any competition?
Why waste your energy on such a trivial competition!"
Xie Xie said thoughtfully, "This Soul Contest does have some entertainment value. Could it be that Boss Huo simply wants to show off his powerful souls?"
Xu Xiaoyan looked at Huo Yuhao, the "rich kid," and grimaced, "I hate rich people!"
Gu Yuena smiled silently. From Huo Yuhao's story last night, she already knew why he was participating in the Soul Tournament.
Huo Yuhao picked up a detailed guide to the Soul Tournament rules and smiled slightly.
This Soul Tournament version of the Pokémon Tournament was quite interesting!
Then, Huo Yuhao said mysteriously, "You'll know why I'm participating in this Soul Tournament in a few days!"
Wu Changkong frowned slightly and said, "Alright, it doesn't conflict with my schedule anyway."
After registration, the group headed to Tianhai City's famous snack street.
Perhaps of all the participating teams in this Tianhai Alliance Competition, only Huo Yuhao's team felt as relaxed as if they were on a trip.
...
At the same time, a huge pit at the border between Donghai City and Tianhai City.
Three men in black stood before the giant pit.
The leader was an elderly man who appeared to be in his seventies, his face covered in wrinkles, his nose hooked, and his lips thin.
He was hunched over, leaning on a pitch-black cane with a human skull embedded in its tip.
Behind him stood two young men.
One was short, his dark green eyes gleaming with a glint of prey.
The other was over two meters tall, but extremely thin, his black robe draped over him like clothes on a hanger.
The short man in black bowed to the elder in front of him and said,
"Elder Zhongli, our sect's branch here was suddenly bombed by the Tianhai Alliance a few days ago for unknown reasons.
It was completely razed to the ground, and none of our members hiding there survived.
Logically, this place is very secretive and unlikely to be discovered. Even if it were discovered by chance, it wouldn't lead to complete annihilation."
"That's why I'm asking you to come out and use your Soul-Chasing Technique to help track what happened that day."
The old man snorted coldly, "Hmph!
Those Tianhai Alliance dogs have quite a keen nose; they've even managed to track us here!
As for what happened that day, I'll know after I investigate."
Then, the old man muttered something, and soon, two distorted, gray-white human faces rose from the giant pit.
He extended his crutch and restrained the two distorted gray-white faces, then closed his eyes.
A moment later, the old man opened his eyes, their eyes gleaming with excitement, and he muttered, "Holy Son! It's the Holy Son!"
The old man had practiced a Soul-Chasing Technique that
allowed him to, for a short period of time, see everything the deceased had seen before, as long as their soul had not completely dissipated.
Therefore, through the remaining fragments of the Great and Second Holy Spirits' souls, the old man witnessed what happened after their encounter with Huo Yuhao that day.
However, that day, Huo Yuhao deliberately waited until the Great and Second Holy Spirits had completely perished before transforming back to his original form. Naturally, the old man didn't witness Huo Yuhao's subsequent rescue of the villagers.
The old man then told the two men behind him what he had seen through his Soul-Chasing Technique.
"For some reason, this Saint Son who calls himself Li Feiyu seemed to have known in advance that our church would be using these tracking methods.
Therefore, he deliberately didn't completely destroy the souls of the Great and Second Holy Spirits.
Very arrogant! And very strange!"
"You two, immediately return to headquarters and tell the leader what happened today.
As for this Saint Son, he should still be lingering near the Tianhai Alliance.
I need to go to the Tianhai Alliance first to meet this Saint Son who suddenly appeared!"
