Chapter 38 Two Soul Bones, Yan Shaozhe: The Bigger One is Yet to Come.
Divine Power Space.
"Well--!"
Just as Huo Yuhao was immersed in the joy of obtaining the new eye techniques "Amaterasu" and "Kagoto-no-Mikoto", a sudden, sharp pain suddenly attacked his left eye.
"hiss..."
Huo Yuhao gasped and abruptly covered his left eye.
Warm blood trickled down between his fingers.
He opened his palm, revealing a shocking stain of bright red blood in the center.
The eerie six-pointed star pattern quickly faded under his control, transforming back into those azure, spiritual eyes.
But those usually clear eyes were now filled with terrifying red blood vessels.
Is this... a side effect of the Mangekyou Sharingan?
Huo Yuhao gasped for breath, sensing the subtle changes in his vision.
Although it was only a fleeting sting, he keenly noticed that his vision in his left eye seemed to be...
It dropped by such a barely perceptible amount.
Fortunately, I have interstitial cells.
Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged and began to refine his chakra.
The cells in his body that originated from White Zetsu began to activate, and streams of vibrant Wood Release energy flowed along his meridians to his eyes, nourishing the damaged optic nerve.
The stinging sensation gradually disappeared, and the redness slowly faded away.
The power of his eyes seems to have returned.
but...
Huo Yuhao frowned.
wrong.
It's like a bucket filled with water.
Although the Wood Release technique helped me replenish the water I used, the maximum capacity of the bucket was permanently reduced by an extremely small amount.
As the number of uses increases, this limit will decrease until... complete blindness.
Huo Yuhao clenched his fist.
Whether it's Kamui in the right eye or Amaterasu in the left eye, although powerful, they are overdrawing on life and light.
Interstitial cells can only slow down the process, but cannot cure it.
I must get that...
The image of those eyes that would never lose their light flashed in Huo Yuhao's mind.
Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!
Although the current system does not directly provide Obito's Eternal Eye template, since Obito in the original work never awakened the Eternal Eye, he had a strong premonition.
In the Douluo Continent where cultivation is possible, perhaps it's only a matter of meeting certain specific and stringent conditions...
He can awaken his own unique Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, or even Dual Kamui!
...
Rest and recuperation complete.
Huo Yuhao stood up and straightened his clothes.
"Mr. Yi, thank you for your trouble."
With Electrolux's help, Huo Yuhao sealed off the newly broken-through soul power fluctuations within him through the soul connection with the Nine-Faced Su Pohe.
The red self-condensed soul ring was hidden.
His outward aura reverted to that of a level 20, one-ring Soul Master.
This ability to generate spirit rings on its own, without even needing to hunt spirit beasts, is simply astonishing.
Before you have the absolute ability to protect yourself, this is a path to certain death; you must never expose yourself.
After doing all this, Huo Yuhao activated his divine power and left this isolated space.
...
Soul Guidance Department, Vice Dean's Office.
Although it was the territory of the Soul Guidance Department, the person sitting in the main seat at this moment was Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department.
Upon hearing the knock on the door, Yan Shaozhe immediately put down his teacup, stood up warmly, and smiled broadly, his refined old face full of wrinkles.
"Yuhao, you've finally arrived."
"Come in and sit down!"
Yan Shaozhe looked at Huo Yuhao like a golden hen that had just laid an egg, and affectionately pulled him to the desk.
"Come, come and see. This is what I promised you before."
He pointed to an exquisite jade box on the table, as if showing off a treasure.
The box was opened, revealing a strange and magical herb inside.
It has five leaves, each displaying a different color: red, blue, cyan, yellow, and purple, radiating a unified energy of the five elements.
"This is a thousand-year-old spiritual herb, the Five Spirits Herb."
Yan Shaozhe stroked his beard and introduced, "It contains five pure elemental attributes, which is a great tonic for a multi-attribute soul master like you."
Huo Yuhao leaned closer to take a look, sensing the energy fluctuations within the spiritual herb.
It's definitely a good product.
but...
His nose twitched slightly, and his eyes looked somewhat strange.
Huo Yuhao raised his head, looking at Yan Shaozhe with a half-smile:
"Dean Yan."
"If I remember correctly... this Five Spirits Grass seems to be the raw material for making the 'Five Elements Cultivation Pill' that you gave me before, right?"
"Moreover, it is an unpurified hybrid version of the five elements."
Huo Yuhao held up one finger and gestured:
"Based on the medicinal efficacy, the dosage of this herb... seems to be equivalent to about five pills?"
Yan Shaozhe's smile froze instantly.
Cough cough...
This kid has an incredibly sharp eye!
I originally wanted to fool him with a high-end-looking herb so he would think it was a great deal... but I didn't expect him to see through it so easily.
Yan Shaozhe shook his head helplessly, inwardly cursing the kid for being as cunning as an old monster, not at all like a twelve-year-old child.
"Sigh... You're too serious, kid."
Yan Shaozhe coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment, "This is just an appetizer, an appetizer."
"The reward I'm giving you is certainly not that simple."
As he spoke, his expression became serious.
A flash of light appeared on the storage soul tool on his wrist, and two heavy boxes radiating coldness and lightning appeared out of thin air on the table.
"Yuhao, considering your talent and future development path."
"This is a special reward that my Martial Soul Department has granted to you, approved by the Sea God Pavilion meeting."
Yan Shaozhe slowly opened the box.
"The big one is here!"
In an instant, the temperature in the entire office plummeted, accompanied by a crackling sound of electricity.
In the box on the left is a crystal-clear arm bone, as if sculpted from ice crystals.
In the box on the right is a leg bone that glows with purple light and faintly emits a thunderous sound.
"This is a left arm bone from a ten-thousand-year-old ice crystal saber-toothed tiger, and a right leg bone from a ten-thousand-year-old thunder beast."
Yan Shaozhe spoke with pride:
"They're all ten-thousand-year level! And their attributes are extremely compatible with yours!"
"Take them and continue your cultivation. I hope you can evolve your water attribute to the ultimate ice as soon as possible."
At this point, Yan Shaozhe patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder meaningfully:
"When you've reached that point... remember to come find me."
"The bigger one is yet to come!"
Huo Yuhao looked at the two soul bones and sneered inwardly.
Is something even bigger yet to come?
It's nothing more than the so-called Shrek Academy inner court quota, or even a seat in the Sea God Pavilion.
To put it bluntly, they just want me to completely sell myself and become Shrek's most loyal dog.
However, a free soul bone is not something to be taken lightly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Dean Yan."
Huo Yuhao nodded and reached for the two boxes.
Buzz!
The moment his fingertips touched that lightning-attribute soul bone.
A sudden change occurred.
Deep within Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, the enormous demonic statue of the heretic, which had been sitting motionless, suddenly trembled violently.
An extremely strong, hunger-like craving.
Huo Yuhao's hand suddenly stopped.
What's this?
He was shocked to feel the restlessness of the demonic statue of the Outer Path.
The heretical demon statue... wants to eat this soul bone?
Could it be that, besides devouring the souls and origins of soul beasts... it can also devour soul bones?
Or rather... all high-level items containing high concentrations of elemental properties?
Huo Yuhao calmly put the two boxes into his storage ring, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
If this conjecture is true...
His path to becoming stronger may be broader than he imagines.
"Now that I have received the reward, I will not disturb the Dean any longer."
Huo Yuhao politely took his leave.
Soul bones...
It seems that besides hunting spirit beasts, I have another goal to collect resources.
