Chapter 179: Origin of the Fierce Beast Spirit Soul

Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, Training Ground.

When Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue Na entered through the main gate, they saw Yuan En Yehui step forward a few paces and ask about a matter.

Huo Yuhao's movement paused, "You want to know how to obtain the Spirit Pagoda's challenge qualification?"

"Yes, I've already broken through to four rings, lacking a spirit soul."

Yuan En Yehui nodded.

Miss Nana Li gave too much; her cultivation progressed faster than expected, being able to advance to four rings before the competition also gave her more confidence.

Hearing Yuan En Yehui's request, Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then asked: "Your family doesn't have a suitable spirit soul?"

"They do... but I don't want to ask them for help." Yuan En Yehui averted her gaze, "After all, if they knew I'm at Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, and still plan to represent the academy against Shrek, who knows what they'd say."

Her relationship with her family isn't good; otherwise, with the reclusive clan's teaching model, she wouldn't need to come out to study.

"Don't want to ask family for help, come ask Yuhao for help, so Yuhao = Yuan En Yehui's elder?" Xie Xie watched her from afar, grumbling.

"Don't say that in front of others; Yuan En and her family clearly have internal circumstances."

Xu Xiaoyan warned from the side, then looked at Yuan En Yehui with some envy, "Yuan En is already a four-ring Soul Ancestor at fourteen, who knows if we can reach that by this time next year."

Having come to Mingdu for half a year, their ages all reached thirteen; Yuan En Yehui is only a year older than them, but her cultivation is about five levels higher.

"We should be pretty strong already, right?" Zhang Yangzi shrugged, "Her martial soul is the Titan Giant Ape, a Super Martial Soul; the family has at least a Super Douluo, raised from childhood. Although we joined the Spirit Pagoda, a single lifetime's achievement, how can it compare to their dozens or hundreds of generations?"

He views things rather lightly.

There are some geniuses at Headquarters who clearly aren't on par with them right now.

When it comes down to it, the foundation gap is right there; great clans accumulated over generations, you doing a single lifetime and keeping pace is not bad, why be greedy for too much?

"Moreover, with Headquarters' Star Observation Platform, Xiao Yan, you're the fastest progressing among us; next year you'll definitely reach Soul Ancestor, what are you worrying about?"

Xu Xiaoyan looked toward Gu Yue Na's direction, pouted, "Because Sister Na is too strict."

Sister Na is strict to the point of making one feel unfamiliar; aren't they good sisters?

Why can't she let her slack off...

"I see." Hearing Yuan En Yehui speak of her family, Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, and told her about the Spirit Pagoda's matters.

The Spirit Pagoda has a special mechanism for obtaining thousand-year and above spirit souls — the Spirit Pagoda Challenge.

In the Spirit Pagoda, every floor has guarding spirit souls; after a challenger successfully breaks through a certain floor, they may choose one willing spirit soul from that floor to sign a contract with... Of course, even if a spirit soul is willing to contract, you still have to pay.

And to obtain Spirit Pagoda Challenge qualification, one must either be a Spirit Pagoda internal member, or a genius vetted by the Spirit Pagoda; moreover, the tower-breaking qualification is only open to those under thirty years old, whose cultivation hasn't reached Title Douluo.

Past the age and cultivation limit, Spirit Pagoda internal personnel also cannot enter.

"The first thirty-six floors of the Spirit Pagoda, spirit soul ages are between thousand-year and ten-thousand-year. Floors thirty-seven to seventy-two are between ten-thousand-year and hundred-thousand-year. And the final thirty-six floors are hundred-thousand-year and above spirit souls."

"Given the existence of Support System Soul Masters, up to floor seventy-two, teams of seven are allowed to challenge. However, in this case, some spirit souls may be unwilling to contract because the challengers' victory wasn't martial. So it's best to challenge alone."

Seeing several people drawn in by his words, Huo Yuhao paused, then continued: "Yuan En, you aren't Spirit Pagoda personnel, but you have connections with that side, so you can apply for vetting; if the vetting passes, you can break through the levels."

Yuan En Yehui heard this, nodded thoughtfully, "Thank you."

What Huo Yuhao spoke of was the covert department; she understood.

To the side, Xie Xie, who had also listened for a while, swallowed, eyes brightening: "Big Brother, by your words, as long as the challenge succeeds, a Fierce Beast Spirit Soul might also be obtained?"

"Not that simple." Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, "Don't forget the restrictions I mentioned: under thirty years old, cultivation below Title Douluo to challenge; under these circumstances, even with Battle Armor, wanting to defeat a Fierce Beast is very difficult."

And a Fierce Beast's strength needs no elaboration; generally even a ninety-fifth rank Super Douluo wouldn't dare say they can defeat a Fierce Beast.

Those under thirty who can win are basically all extreme talents; letting them obtain a Fierce Beast Spirit Soul is also not unacceptable.

Xie Xie heard this, glanced at his own small arms and legs, temporarily gave up his idea.

Indeed, even an eight-ring Soul Douluo wearing Battle Armor wanting to defeat a Fierce Beast is not an easy matter.

"However, the final thirty-six floors are all hundred-thousand-year and above spirit souls... our Spirit Pagoda's foundation is so strong."

Xie Xie exclaimed.

Tang Wu Lin and the others nodded in agreement.

Such foundation, only the Spirit Pagoda possesses.

Gu Yue Na, preparing to walk toward Xu Xiaoyan, paused in her movement.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao walked toward her while reminding:

"... In the future, before Soul Beasts, best not mention this matter; a portion of the Spirit Pagoda's hundred-thousand-year and above spirit souls died in battle."

Xie Xie and Tang Wu Lin and the others all froze, pupils contracting.

Died in battle?

Who dares kill a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast under the Spirit Pagoda's protection?

But Huo Yuhao had no intention of explaining, walking straight to Gu Yue Na's side.

Seeing this, Gu Yue Na transmitted: "They don't know the Abyssal Plane, it's nothing. And having a chance to become a spirit soul is still better than dying completely."

The Abyssal Plane arrived at Douluo Continent over six thousand years ago and began invading.

At that time, the Spirit Pagoda, as one of the Federal Four Great Powers, naturally participated in the war.

At that time, the Federation nearly exhausted all efforts, mobilizing over two-thirds of its military power, launching a large-scale encirclement and suppression operation against Abyssal creatures.

Under the close cooperation of Shrek Academy, Spirit Pagoda, War God Hall, and Mingde Hall, the Federation mobilized twelve Mecha Legions, equipped with innumerable Fixed Soul Ammunition, only then successfully driving these terrifying Abyssal creatures back into their original passages.

In that battle, the Federation lost over one hundred twenty thousand; spirit soul and Soul Beast losses were also significant.

The current Spirit Pagoda Tower Master and three Branch Tower Masters who went to support fell; Sea God Pavilion Master heavily injured; three Shrek Seven Monsters of the same generation as the Sea God Pavilion Master fell; seven War Gods of War God Hall died in battle; Mingde Hall Master, researching how to suppress the Abyssal passage, was attacked by multiple Abyssal Emperors, and fell when the seal was completed.

If not for Di Tian intercepting the Fierce Emperor, that battle's losses would have been even greater.

The Spirit Pagoda's hundred-thousand-year and above Hereditary Spirit Souls, including Fierce Beast Spirit Souls, a considerable portion were born from that battle.
