Chapter 15

"Spiritual Detection Sharing……"

Luoyang Lu looked at Hua Yichen with understanding, teasing:

"You were jealous before?"

"I wasn't." Hua Yichen rolled his eyes.

Luoyang Lu chuckled and shook his head, no longer teasing, quietly waiting for Huo Yuhao to finish his advancement; only then did the two enter the room one after the other.

Just as they entered the room, they saw the purple soul ring beside Huo Yuhao.

Even though they had anticipated this scene long ago, both of their expressions involuntarily changed somewhat.

Six years old, first thousand-year soul ring — this was uncommon even in the past Spirit Beast Era, and in the current Spirit Era it is even rarer.

After all, major powers do not lack heavenly treasures that enhance physical quality, but heavenly treasures that enhance spiritual power are extraordinarily scarce; they cannot be found just because one wants to find them — one basically has to rely on oneself.

And if spiritual power does not meet the standard, letting a spirit soul advance to a thousand years is simply impossible.

Huo Yuhao stood up, moved his body slightly, and a series of crisp cracking sounds rang out from his whole body; his figure seemed to have grown a bit taller.

The soul bone had belonged to him originally, so absorbing it again presented no difficulty at all. After absorption, the increase in soul power was secondary; coupled with the efficacy of the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue, his physical quality could already compare to that of an ordinary four-ring Soul Ancestor.

If he later absorbs a torso bone, and with the other heavenly treasures provided by the Spirit Pagoda, once his cultivation recovers to before four rings, his physical strength will be able to shoulder-to-shoulder a Soul Emperor — far faster than ten thousand years ago.

At least he need not worry about physical quality dragging down his spiritual power.

Seeing Huo Yuhao look over, Hua Yichen collected the excited expression on his face, stepped forward to size up Huo Yuhao, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Excellent! A thousand-year first spirit soul at this age — you are the first."

Huo Yuhao clenched his fist, feeling the gradually swelling power, and looked at the overjoyed Hua Yichen; his gaze flickered.

Hua Yichen's preferential treatment of him, Huo Yuhao saw it all; perhaps in the other's eyes it was merely an investment, but judging by deeds not intentions, he would not take it for granted.

And in the eyes of an elder who wants to cultivate a powerhouse, there is nothing happier than seeing one's investment gradually bear fruit.

So Huo Yuhao raised his head to look at Hua Yichen and smiled: "I am not a person without ambition; if you put me on the ranking list, I certainly won't be low-key enough to be the bottom — that would be a denial of my own capability, and also a denial of those who have given me many opportunities."

Ten thousand years ago I kept a low profile for nearly a hundred years, hiding in a corner; this life I'll be a bit more high-profile.

Anyway, I only said that as a Soul Master I had no self-protection ability; I never said that as a Soul Master (alternate) I also lack self-protection ability……

Hua Yichen was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smile at Huo Yuhao's willingness to change.

A youth, full of vigor and high spirits — so what if he doesn't know the heights of heaven and depths of earth?

They…… ought to be like this!

"Also, I want to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform to learn combat techniques; please grant permission, Teacher Hua."

Hua Yichen: "Your first soul skill is not a combat type, no need to be in such a hurry; first……"

Before Hua Yichen's words could finish, a powerful mental fluctuation spread out; the air within ten meters became distorted, causing even this Soul Emperor Luoyang Lu's expression to change slightly.

Huo Yuhao had already withdrawn his soul ring, and with this range — could this soul skill be……

Hua Yichen took a deep breath and spoke the answer for him.

"Innate Domain."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao's soul ring did not light up yet he unleashed a domain-like soul skill, Hua Yichen could only think of the four words "Innate Domain."

Domain-type soul skills can, within a certain range, alter everything according to one's own domain; they can be called the most top-tier control-type soul skills — ten thousand years ago they were existences as rare as Ultimate Martial Souls.

Although nowadays high-grade Battle Armor also carry domains, making them no longer that rare, domains can stack; one more domain soul skill means one more layer of amplification.

Moreover, most martial souls that can carry an Innate Domain are often linked to two words——

Powerful!

For example, the Six-Winged Angel ten thousand years ago came with its own Angel Domain, and the power of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul needs no further elaboration.

"Top-tier Body Martial Soul, terrifying spiritual power talent, plus an Innate Domain…… just how many more surprises do you have for me?"

Hua Yichen took a deep breath and looked deeply at Huo Yuhao.

Luoyang Lu's gaze also became complex.

Although it was only an instant, and it was because he did not resist, during that time he could clearly see Huo Yuhao's figure yet could not sense the other's aura or surging soul power; if Huo Yuhao used this soul skill for assassination, it would likely be unstoppable.

"Fine, I'll arrange it for you."

Hua Yichen said: "However I must remind you of one thing. Yuhao, remember: when a person becomes capable of posing a threat to you, no matter how close that person is to you, you must keep a wary eye and not hand over all your trump cards wholeheartedly."

Huo Yuhao's expression changed upon hearing this; he looked at Hua Yichen with amazement, then smiled:

"Teacher Hua, if you went into teaching, you would certainly produce excellent students."

……

The three people made their way all the way to the first-floor Association Hall, took the Elevator down, and a full three minutes passed before it stopped.

Stepping out of the Elevator, outside was a spacious Association Hall; the hall had over a dozen Work Staff. Behind them were rows of metal-structured Passages.

The many Work Staff, upon seeing Hua Yichen, all saluted: "Greetings, Tower Master."

Hua Yichen nodded with a smile: "Just continue your work; I'm taking Yuhao into the Spirit Ascension Platform for a trip."

"This……"

One Work Staff member, hearing this, stepped forward somewhat hesitantly and whispered a reminder:

"Tower Master, there are currently Donghai Academy students inside the Spirit Ascension Platform."

Being able to bear the name Donghai, Donghai Academy is already one of the top academies in Donghai City.

The Spirit Pagoda recruits ordinary Work Staff sometimes locally, selecting Soul Masters graduated from Donghai Academy, so the relationship between the two is fairly good. Donghai Academy occasionally spends money to bring outstanding disciples into the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Hua Yichen's eyes flashed: "Is that so? No problem, go arrange it — have Yuhao enter the Isolation Zone."

Isolation Zone?

The Work Staff, hearing this, looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise.

Hearing that the Tower Master gave this newly arrived child exceptional preferential treatment, seeing it now it is indeed true.

Seeing the Work Staff enter a Passage to prepare, Hua Yichen and the other two also followed along.

On the way, Luoyang Lu laughed and said:

"Yuhao, the soul beasts in the Isolation Zone are not like the fake soul beasts; they are all real soul beasts that have survived and fought in places like the Star Dou Great Forest and the Extreme North, rich in experience and powerful in strength. You still cannot heavily injure them — are you confident you can handle them?"

Huo Yuhao nodded.

The Spirit Ascension Platform was built to raise the age limit of soul spirits; its environment simulates the Star Dou Great Forest, and the soul beasts inside are basically all created by the Spirit Pagoda — this is the world's understanding.

But in fact the Spirit Ascension Platform still has another area.

The Isolation Zone.

That is a place only Spirit Pagoda internal personnel can set foot in, because the soul beasts inside are all real soul beasts... or rather, soul spirits!
