After Zhu Ziyang finished speaking, everyone dispersed, but Huo Yuhao stayed behind.
"Yuhao, I heard from big senior brother that you went out for training, right? When did you come back?" Zhu Ziyang asked curiously, because he discovered that a strange divine power had appeared on Huo Yuhao's body, and that divine power was far from the Sea God's divine power, obviously not from the same god.
"I came back half a month ago." Huo Yuhao scratched the back of his head and said, "I heard from Teacher Xiaoya that Dean Xian was recruiting disciples whose soul power had reached a bottleneck. It just so happened that my soul power had also reached level 70, so I came over."
"I see." Hearing this, Zhu Ziyang was slightly surprised and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As expected of the son of destiny, in less than two years, he had risen from a Soul King in his fifties to a Soul Sage. This speed was truly incomparable. He asked, "Then after obtaining the soul spirit, what do you plan to do?"
"I don't know." Huo Yuhao shook his head with a slightly confused look and said, "Maybe travel the continent, maybe stay in the academy and cultivate in seclusion. I want to go find Xiao Xiao, but my strength is not enough. I want to take revenge, but my strength is not enough. I'm really useless, I can't do anything!"
"Don't give up on yourself!" Zhu Ziyang showed a comforting expression, patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, and said, "You're only nineteen years old, there's no need to push yourself so hard. Only by appropriately relaxing yourself can you advance better!"
"I..." Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but didn't have time to speak.
"After I finish dealing with the soul spirit system matters, you will come with me to the Haotian Sect." Zhu Ziyang said, a stern look appearing on his face, "No matter what, Xiao Xiao is a person from our Shrek Academy. If she was really abducted by people from the Haotian Sect, then as the leader of Shrek Academy, I will absolutely not let it go!
Moreover, the Haotian Sect actually dared to injure the vice pavilion master of our Tianyuan Pavilion. This is simply not putting me, the Tianyuan Pavilion master, in their eyes!
So, no matter what, the Haotian Sect must give us an explanation!"
"Senior brother, really?!" Hearing Zhu Ziyang's resolute tone, Huo Yuhao's face regained some colour. He was a bit excited and said, "I understand, thank you, senior brother!"
"Hehe," Zhu Ziyang patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said, "You have to remember, if you give up on yourself, then no one will help you. So, Yuhao, your future is still very long!"
"Mm-hmm!" Huo Yuhao's eyes regained their former brilliance, and he nodded seriously in agreement.
——
Soon, the day agreed upon by Zhu Ziyang and Di Tian arrived.
Zhu Ziyang, Cai Mei'er, and Elder Lin brought Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao, and thirteen other inner courtyard disciples to the edge area of the Star Dou Forest early, waiting for the arrival of the soul beast side.
It is worth mentioning that Elder Lin came out of seclusion yesterday. Thanks to the Origin Golden Pill and Elder Mu's guidance, her soul power had finally reached level 99. Although her level 99 had some water in it, there was no doubt that her strength had undergone a qualitative improvement.
In fact, for elders like Elder Lin, Elder Song, and Elder Zhuang, who were over one hundred and fifty years old, their potential had already been exhausted. Without a creation like the Origin Golden Pill, they would probably not be able to improve in this lifetime. And now, among the Tianyuan Pavilion members, excluding the younger generation like Zhu Ziyang and Ma Xiaotao, the ones who truly had the chance to reach the Limit Douluo realm by their own talent were only Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and Xuan Zi—these two and a half people.
Uh, Xuan Zi counted as half. His martial soul was very powerful, but his potential had already been used up. To improve, he could only let his martial soul evolve, but the difficulty of martial soul evolution was not at all less than the difficulty of advancing from level 98 to level 99 Limit Douluo, so he counted as half.
Cough cough, got off track. After Elder Lin came out of seclusion, Zhu Ziyang informed her of the soul spirit system plan and appointed her as the person in charge of constructing the soul spirit system, and Elder Lin readily agreed. Although she was very old, deep down, she was a person who liked to pursue new things, and soul spirits were undoubtedly a new existence.
"No matter what you see later, don't be surprised." Zhu Ziyang said to Bei Bei and the others, "Signing a soul spirit contract requires the agreement of both the soul master and the soul beast, so the construction of the soul spirit system needs to cooperate with the soul beast clan. This is why we came to the Star Dou Forest. If nothing unexpected happens, you will soon have the opportunity to see the most powerful soul beasts on the Douluo Continent."
Hearing Zhu Ziyang's words, Bei Bei, Tang Ya, Xu Sanshi, and the other disciples all showed different reactions: some surprised, some expectant, some panicked. In short, they were all very normal emotional reactions and didn't need to be paid too much attention to.
"We are late, please forgive us." Soon, the soul beast clan appeared. The leader was naturally Di Tian, but the one who spoke was Bi Ji, because Bi Ji would serve as the person in charge on the soul beast side.
Behind Di Tian and Bi Ji were the three ferocious beasts: the Witch Demon King, the Bear Lord, and the Red King. They each brought a batch of soul beasts, from thousand-year to ten-thousand-year, of various types.
"It's fine, we just arrived not long ago." Zhu Ziyang smiled slightly, then stepped forward. Elder Lin and Xian Lin'er followed closely behind.
Di Tian and Bi Ji landed in front of Zhu Ziyang, while the Myriad Demon King, Bear Lord, and Red King put down the soul beasts they brought and then came behind the two.
"Alright, no more nonsense, let's start immediately." Di Tian said coldly. Some anticipation could be seen in his eyes. Obviously, he also wanted to know what the soul spirit contract was like.
"Of course." Zhu Ziyang smiled faintly, "But before that, I need to introduce an elder first. This is Elder Lin. She will represent me and be fully responsible for the construction and development of the soul spirit system."
"This old one is Lin Huiqun, vice pavilion master of Shrek Academy's Tianyuan Pavilion, titled Heavenly River. I have met several beast kings." Elder Lin stepped forward and said. She kept her posture very low, not showing any arrogance, just because she was a Limit Douluo.
After seeing Elder Lin, a trace of surprise appeared in Di Tian's eyes. He could naturally see Elder Lin's strength, so he was surprised, but his surprise was only that. It was just an old fellow on the verge of death. He was confident he could suppress her with one hand. After all, there weren't that many Zhu Ziyangs or Mu Ens in this world.
However, out of respect for the cooperation, Di Tian still gave Bi Ji a look, and Bi Ji naturally understood. She stepped forward and said, "I am Bi Ji. From now on, I will be responsible for the soul beast clan's soul spirit system matters. Your Majesty, Heavenly River, pleased to work with you."
"Senior Bi Ji, pleased to work with you." The two shook hands, one old and one fair; the contrast was very strong, but no one paid attention to these details.
"Alright, then let's begin." Zhu Ziyang looked at Di Tian and said, "First, let me introduce the disciples of our Shrek Academy, so that the beast king seniors can see the sincerity of our Shrek Academy."
He walked to the front of the thirteen disciples. The thirteen disciples, led by Bei Bei, lined up in a row, quietly waiting for Zhu Ziyang's introduction, but their eyes were all moving, sizing up the soul beast side.
"This is Bei Bei, the great-grandson of my teacher Dragon God Douluo Mu En, twenty-two years old, level 80, Light Holy Dragon martial soul.
Xu Sanshi, core disciple of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, twenty-two years old, level 80, Mysterious Martial Shield martial soul.
Tang Ya, core disciple of Shrek Academy's inner courtyard, twenty-two years old, level 70, Blue Golden Immortal Spirit Grass martial soul.
This Huo Yuhao is one of my teacher Dragon God Douluo Mu En's last disciples, my little junior brother, nineteen years old, level 70, eye martial soul.
Zhou Tianhe..."
Zhu Ziyang quickly finished introducing the thirteen inner courtyard disciples. He paid attention to the reactions of Di Tian and the others and found that only when hearing the information of Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Tang Ya, and Huo Yuhao did he show a slight surprise. For the other nine disciples, he was indifferent.
It was understandable. After all, the four Bei Bei were indeed the most outstanding among the thirteen disciples. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi didn't need to be mentioned—twenty-two-year-old Soul Douluo were rare geniuses in the history of soul masters. Tang Ya was because of her martial soul, Blue Golden Immortal Spirit Grass, a top-tier plant martial soul with wood and life attributes. Although it was a variant martial soul, its strength was unquestionable. Elder Zhuang had wanted to take her as a disciple more than once.
Finally, there was Huo Yuhao. Although his talent was equally astonishing, what Di Tian cared about was his identity—Zhu Ziyang's junior brother, Mu En's last disciple. This showed that Huo Yuhao was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
"We brought thirty-five soul beasts, among which there are seventeen soul beasts with cultivation above ten thousand years," Bi Ji spoke at this time, "They all come from the more powerful soul beast races in our Star Dou Forest, and there is no lack of outstanding ones with dragon clan bloodline and golden bloodline. I won't introduce them one by one. After all, when you soul masters choose soul rings, what matters is the compatibility with the martial soul, so let yourselves choose the soul beast you like."
"Go!" Zhu Ziyang said to the thirteen inner courtyard disciples.
The thirteen inner courtyard disciples did not hesitate and immediately walked towards the thirty-plus soul beasts. Among them, the first batch of beneficiaries and supporters of the soul spirit system would be born.
It is believed that starting from today, a brand new page will be turned in the history of the relationship between soul masters and soul beasts!
