"As before, although my physical attributes haven't improved, just now, when the master upgraded my soul ring to 100,000 years old, my soul power increased by two levels, reaching level 59. My
soul skill also reached the level of a 100,000-year soul skill, but it didn't produce a second soul skill like a normal 100,000-year soul ring..."
After listening, everyone exchanged glances, all deep in thought. After a few breaths, Huo Yuhao spoke first: "Now it seems that the Soul Ring Condensation Method can completely replace the previous method of hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings. The only drawback is that it doesn't produce soul bones, and it only has the effect of enhancing physical constitution when absorbing a soul ring for the first time. Further increasing the age of the soul ring later is useless; it only enhances the soul skill."
The others nodded silently. Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and said, "That's enough for now. It's time to put the plan on the agenda."
Actually, the Soul Ring Condensation Method still has significant flaws, the main one being the inability to determine the type of soul skill produced; it can only increase the age of the soul ring.
This behavior feels like exploiting a loophole in the world's rules.
Zhou Qi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he asked, "Is my lord planning to start building up his power? What can I do to help?"
Zhou Qi's attitude was extremely respectful. These past few days, he had witnessed many incredible things about this young man, truly overturning
his worldview. He had already joined the Ming Realm, and now Zhou Qi was completely convinced of the power he had been given. The emotions he had felt from being forced had subsided considerably, replaced by joy. Having joined Huo Yuhao's ranks, he saw hope for breaking through to higher levels. In his view
, Huo Yuhao possessed talent and strength, had a solid background, and possessed coveted things like the Ming Realm and the Condensing Ring Technique; his future rise to power was inevitable. His current concern was how to eliminate the negative impact his two foolish sons had had on Huo Yuhao.
Even if he joined Huo Yuhao's ranks, Zhou Qi wanted to climb the ranks as much as possible, not be treated as a dog that could be replaced at any time. Therefore, he had been working diligently these past few days.
"Yes, I need to condense my sixth spirit ring these next two days, and then I'll need to inform my master and the others."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, paused, and then added, "Make arrangements for the auction house to hold an auction in a month. I'll bid on the final items: a 100,000-year spirit ring and a 100,000-year spirit bone."
Zhou Qi understood that his master wanted to establish a reputation before the force was fully formed, and immediately replied, "Don't worry, sir, I'll take care of it right away. I'll make sure the news spreads quickly and that the event is packed with people."
"Okay, go ahead and do it." Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and waved Zhou Qi and Pang Yu away.
Huo Yuhao had long had the idea of creating a force, gathering a bunch of subordinates to recruit people and expand the Ming Realm.
Huo Yuhao had considered cooperating with other sects or empires to promote the Ming Realm, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't feasible. The major empires and sects all held a suppressive attitude towards commoner spirit masters, emphasizing social hierarchy and class distinctions.
However, the largest group of people were commoner spirit masters, and Huo Yuhao worried that those empires and sects would only take money without doing anything, so it was better for him to do it himself.
Moreover, his creation of this power had a deeper meaning: to prepare for and lay the foundation for collecting faith in the future.
After the two left, Huo Yuhao looked at Xue Di and said, "Xue'er, I can't reveal the Soul Ring Condensation Technique yet. Firstly, it's not perfect enough, and secondly, I need..."
Before he could finish, Xue Di pressed a finger to his lips, stopping him from continuing. Xue Di said softly, "I understand, you don't need to explain."
Seeing how understanding Xue Di was, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, feeling a warmth in his heart, but he didn't say anything sentimental. He sat down cross-legged and began to condense his sixth soul ring.
Soon after, a blood-red soul ring appeared above Huo Yuhao's head, followed by his original five soul rings, yellow, purple, black, and red, arranged neatly.
At this moment, the blood-red soul ring above his head slowly descended, stabilizing only after the fifth soul ring. The absorption speed was very fast, the whole process taking less than thirty minutes without any difficulties or setbacks.
It's worth mentioning that Huo Yuhao's sixth spirit ring didn't have a spirit skill. Of course, this wasn't a mistake, but rather because he felt it wasn't necessary. He rarely relied on spirit ring skills, and the reason he condensed his spirit ring to be 100,000 years old was because a high-age spirit ring could increase his spirit power more, and also because of his obsessive-compulsive tendencies. After all, his fifth spirit ring was already red, so it wouldn't look good if his sixth spirit ring wasn't also red, right? The following day, in the central hall of the Body Sect, another high-level meeting was held. Title Douluos were all present, as were the three Soul Douluos in charge.
"Elders, I've gathered you all here today to discuss two matters," Huo Yuhao said, rising to get straight to the point.
The meeting room fell silent. All eyes were on Huo Yuhao, filled with anticipation. After all, they had all benefited from the formation of the Bright Realm, and now their young master had called a meeting—was there some other perk?
However, it turned out they were mistaken. Huo Yuhao slowly said, "I have decided to step down as Young Sect Master and request to join the Elder Council."
What?!
His words caused a stir. Except for Poison Undying and Golden Roc, everyone looked puzzled, exchanging bewildered glances and whispering amongst themselves.
"May I ask, Young Master, why is this? Has someone spread some rumors?"
Gu Qingchen asked, rising to his feet. Actually, he didn't say the second half of his sentence: even if you're a genius, you can't break the sect's rules. You can't join the elders' council until you've reached the title of Title Douluo, let alone since you're only a Soul King.
Speaking of this, we have to mention when Huo Yuhao first joined the Body Sect. Back then, Du Busi decided on Huo Yuhao's position as the successor to the Body Sect Master without any selection competition. Many in the sect were dissatisfied, believing he was a nepotism hire and unworthy of the position.
Huo Yuhao, however, kept a low profile and was unaware of this. Later, he led his team to victory in the Soul Master Competition, becoming invincible, which earned the respect of the Body Sect disciples. After the establishment of the Bright Realm, even the elders admired him from the bottom of their hearts and acknowledged his status.
But now he wants to step down, which puzzles everyone. Although the elders' status is equal to that of the young sect master, joining the elders' council means Huo Yuhao is giving up his future position as sect master.
And again, it's the same rule: you can't join the elders' council until you've reached the title of Title Douluo.
"Elder Gu, please calm down. I will explain your questions later. However, I want to clarify beforehand that I did not hear anything unpleasant, and this decision was made for my own reasons."
Huo Yuhao replied to Gu Qingchen first, then turned his gaze to the Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng.
Upon seeing this, Jin Peng stood up, pinching his nose, and said in a muffled voice, "I have no opinion on the Young Sect Master's decision, but I believe the Young Master is qualified to enter the Elder Council."
"Why do you say that, Brother Jin? You should know that our sect has always only allowed Title Douluos to enter the Elder Council." Someone immediately asked.
At this, Jin Peng's old face darkened, and he said unhappily, "Last night, the Young Master and I had a sparring match, and the result was evenly matched. I hereby declare that I did not hold back, and the Sect Master can testify to that."
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, and they all turned their gazes to Du Busi, their eyes filled with questions.
Du Busi's expression was not much better. He thought of the conversation he had with his disciple last night after he had dismissed Old Jin.
Poison Undying: "You brat, tell me honestly, what level are you at now?"
Huo Yuhao thought carefully for a moment, then replied seriously, "Under normal circumstances, I can barely rival level 97."
"What if you use any means necessary?" Poison Undying asked again.
Seeing his disciple looking at him earnestly, he said, "If you're going to fight to the death, you can drag your master down with you."
Poison Undying almost spat out blood on the spot. This rebellious disciple, couldn't he use a different analogy? Limit Douluo or Mu En, I'm not stupid, why does he have to think of attacking this old man?
