Chapter 223 - Working Stiff

The crowd listened intently, each one deeply shocked. Silence followed Huo Yuhao's words.

"May I ask, Young Master, if we can emulate you and condense a similar External Soul Core?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of the voice. The speaker was Gu Qingchen, an eighty-seventh rank Soul Douro. She was not yet forty years old and possessed decent talent. Although she was a woman, she was the leader among the three Soul Douro. She usually handled the main affairs of the Ben Ti Sect, while Qingyang and Zhang Chuantao mostly assisted her.

Gu Qingchen's name was also quite distinctive. It was said that when she was a child, her mother, seeing her beauty, named her Qingchen, meaning "overwhelming beauty."

And Gu Qingchen lived up to her name, with a beautiful face and a valiant bearing; she was a complete beauty.

Ahem, getting sidetracked. Back to the main point. Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised by Gu Qingchen's intentions, or rather, he had expected it. There's a saying: a worker who doesn't want to be the boss isn't a good worker. Gu Qingchen clearly wanted to start her own faction and go into business on her own.

To this, Huo Yuhao could only shake his head; too naive. Huo Yuhao patiently explained, "In theory, it's possible, but it must meet two major conditions."

The people present brightened up at the words, all looking forward to what was coming. However, some kept their heads, reasoning that if it were truly that simple, someone would have achieved it long ago. There were undoubtedly factors that couldn't be replicated.

As expected, Huo Yuhao's subsequent explanation shattered the illusions of some.

"The first condition is the Array Flags. To stabilize the array within the External Soul Core is essential, and the most important part of setting up the array is the Array Flags. I used External Spirit Bones for mine. With the support of the Bright Realm, and relying on the properties of the External Spirit Bones, they will improve as the Bright Realm grows stronger."

"Can the Array Flags be replaced with something else?" someone asked, because Spirit Bones were simply too precious, and the requirement for a large quantity was quite demanding.

"Of course," Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, continuing, "The simplest way is to use rare metals instead, such as Sinking Silver. However, the drawback is that as the Soul Core improves in the later stages, the rare metals within also need to be replaced with higher quality ones, otherwise, there is a risk of the array collapsing."

Everyone's faces tightened upon hearing this. This was no small matter. For an External Soul Core of the scale of the Bright Realm, once the array collapsed, it would affect the whole thing. At that time, the entire Soul Core could explode. The consequences were terrifying to think about.

"The second, and most important point, is that to condense a Soul Core like the Bright Realm, you must master sufficiently powerful Spatial Power, because the connection between the soul master and the External Soul Core is through a space channel."

As soon as these words were spoken, most people had given up hope of condensing an External Soul Core. Spatial ability was extremely profound; it was not so easy to comprehend.

But someone still asked, unwilling to give up, "I wonder what the requirements are for using this, what level is needed?"

The person who spoke was White Bone Douluo. His son was also on the God List, and if possible, he still wanted to help his son go further.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, and it made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, but the words he spoke were like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.

"For a Spatial-type Martial Soul Master, a Title Douluo should be about right. For Soul Masters with other Martial Souls, you'll need at least Limit Douluo."

The room fell silent, everyone was quite discouraged. What a joke! A Spatial-type Soul Master at the Title Douluo level? Spatial attribute Martial Souls were already one in a million, and they needed to be at the Title Douluo level? This was almost impossible; at least, no one present had ever heard of a Spatial-type Title Douluo on the continent.

However, they did have one Limit Douluo in the Ben Ti Sect. So, a dozen pairs of eyes all turned to Du Busi.

Du Busi's face darkened; what did his Martial Soul have to do with space? Yes, he was a Limit Douluo, and he had mastered some methods of using space, but from the looks of his disciple's Bright Realm yesterday, Du Busi knew that his own meager skills were far from enough.

Everyone has their priorities. Du Busi's strengths have always been brute force and his body's poison. Spatial abilities? Forget about it.

"Cough cough, disciple, why don't you let us experience that pure spiritual energy you mentioned first? Then we can decide whether or not to join," Du Busi said, changing the subject. He couldn't possibly admit he couldn't do it in front of so many people. He, as the sect master, still needed to save face.

The others had also abandoned the idea of simply copying Huo Yuhao, and they looked at him expectantly, wanting to see if the energy of the Bright Realm was truly as pure as he claimed.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao knew that things were settled. He thought to himself, If it was really that easy for you to replicate, what would I do? Who would work for me?

Afterward, Huo Yuhao took everyone to tour the Bright Realm and then granted them the authority to invite others, allowing them to bring all the disciples of the Ben Ti Sect in.

This authority was actually quite tricky. It sounded impressive, being able to bring people into the Bright Realm, but in reality, Huo Yuhao could revoke it with a mere thought. He could even kick them and those they brought in out of the Bright Realm with ease.

"Old monster Du, come out here!"

Just as the meeting was about to end, a vast pressure suddenly descended upon the Ben Ti Sect, causing everyone except Du Busi and Jin Peng to change their expressions.

Du Busi didn't say a word, his form already disappearing from the meeting room, Jin Peng, Ran Hongyue, Ya Lingna, and the others followed closely behind.

Qingyang, Zhang Chuantao, and Gu Qingchen didn't go with them. Judging from the pressure released by the person who had just arrived, they knew that this person was also a strong Title Douluo, someone they couldn't interfere with. Moreover, with the Sect Master present, anyone who dared to be presumptuous in the Ben Ti Sect would have to kneel.

"You, follow the original plan and quickly incorporate all the disciples into the Bright Realm," Huo Yuhao instructed the three of them.

"Yes," the three of them responded in unison, their attitudes exceptionally respectful. If before they had treated Huo Yuhao with courtesy because of his identity, now they were completely won over by their young master's earth-shattering accomplishment.

"Alright, go do it."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao also flashed away, disappearing from the meeting hall.

Above the Ben Ti Sect's training grounds, a group of over a dozen people stood facing each other, swords drawn and bows bent, ready for action. On one side were ten Title Douluo, led by Du Busi.

Opposite them were only three people: two old and one young. The leader's clothes were disheveled, and his white hair looked like it hadn't been groomed in ages, a complete mess. He held a wine jug in his left hand and a large chicken leg, already gnawed on a few times, in his right.

That iconic figure could only be Shrek Academy's Taotie Douluo.

Beside Xuanzi stood Yan Shaozhe, the dean of Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department and Ming Feng Douluo. This old man looked much better, with a white beard and white hair, but neatly groomed and tidy, giving off a somewhat ethereal aura, like a hermit.

Lastly, there was a young man of only fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in clean blue athletic attire, with a gentle appearance. Though young, he possessed a refined temperament, and a hint of sadness could be seen in the depths of his eyes; he was a handsome young man.

"Xuanzi, what are you doing here? Are you perhaps here to provoke our Ben Ti Sect?" Du Busi looked at Xuanzi coldly, questioning him. The pressure of a Rank 99 Limit Douluo unceremoniously enveloped the other side.

Xuanzi's entrance could be described as extremely domineering and showy, so Du Busi's attitude wasn't good either. He used to be wary of these people from Shrek, but now it was different; he was at Rank 99.
