Chapter 48: Soul Land: Peerless Tang Sect — To Become a Limit Douluo, I Ate Elixirs Until I Vomited

Returning to the dormitory doorway, Gu Yue Na looked at Huo Yuhao. She did not discuss the reason for the Evil Soul Master attack, but instead said, "The Execution Department will probably come handle this matter."

Not to mention her relationship with Di Tian and the others, her teacher is the An Feng Douluo's older sister, so she understands the Execution Department very well.

Supervision is their primary duty; encircling and suppressing Evil Soul Masters is also one of their missions.

Now that she has suffered an Evil Soul Master attack, whether emotionally or logically, the Adaptability Douluo would inform the An Feng Douluo's side.

"Mhm."

Huo Yuhao nodded, and just like Gu Yue Na, they tacitly skipped over the Evil Soul Master attack. Hua Yichen would handle that matter properly.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "I'm not too clear on the Execution Department's composition. Could you tell me about it?"

Regarding the Execution Department, he only knew the purpose of its establishment. The details of its personnel composition were not very clear to him; Hua Yichen never talked about these things when nothing was going on. But based on his understanding of Evil Soul Masters, there wouldn't be many strong ones among them.

Just look at Miss Tang Ya — before using the Devouring Talent and after using it, the speed of her strength improvement is worlds apart.

The reason Evil Soul Masters are powerful is because of the strange abilities brought by their martial souls. If they don't use them, unless it's a martial soul like Ma Xiao Tao's that can achieve something even without becoming an Evil Soul Master, the gap with ordinary Soul Masters isn't large.

Gaining the right to live under the sunlight means giving up the ability to grow rapidly.

This also counts as a case of 'you can't have it all.'

Moreover, regarding supervision, the Spirit Pagoda didn't monopolize it; they cooperate with the Federation, and the Federation also sends people to review together.

Some children with the potential to become Evil Soul Masters therefore have no low degree of identification with the Federation. Quite a few grow up and enter Federation departments to work, so the possibility of the Execution Department producing strong experts is naturally even smaller.

But in Huo Yuhao's view, this is a good thing; it shows the Spirit Pagaoda hasn't been blinded by strength.

Not to mention the political significance, cooperating with the Federation means that if problems arise, they can drag the Federation into sharing the blame — why not do it?

Gu Yue Na heard this, thought for a moment, and said:

"The Spirit Pagoda's requirement for the Execution Department is to develop in the direction of normal Soul Masters, and there are also those who leave the Execution Department after the review ends. So up to now, there are only two powerhouses above Titled Douluo. My teacher's younger sister, the An Feng Douluo, is one of them."

"The other person's title is... Zhen Hun. He is also very special within the Execution Department. He is one of the few existences permitted by the Spirit Pagoda's high-ranking officials to use his martial soul ability to improve, and he is also one of the trump cards hidden by the Spirit Pagoda. Only those at Vice Tower Master level and above have the qualification to know. His ability is related to the soul; he must devour soul energy to raise his cultivation. Ordinary cultivation has no effect..."

Huo Yuhao's eye twitched. Even though Gu Yue Na hadn't finished speaking, he had already guessed who that person was.

Good fellow, the Spirit Pagoda has become a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Is the Holy Spirit Cult's orthodoxy in the Spirit Pagoda?

And after Gu Yue Na roughly explained the Zhen Hun Douluo's ability characteristics, Huo Yuhao asked, "If I'm not mistaken, he rose up by eating Spirit Ascension Pills, right?"

"Correct. Or rather, the Spirit Ascension Pill appeared because of him." Gu Yue Na spoke, her expression also becoming strange. "He is the first person to become a Limit Douluo by eating elixirs, and also the strongest civilian Soul Master the Spirit Pagoda has unearthed in nearly a hundred years."

Devouring souls to raise cultivation — in the eyes of other forces, this kind of Soul Master can only be killed as an Evil Soul Master. But the Spirit Pagoda is different; they even created artificial spirit souls!

Of course, the Spirit Pagoda isn't feeding spirit souls to the Zhen Hun Douluo; they just let him eat the energy used to manufacture spirit souls. After all, what he absorbs is only the energy inside the soul.

The Spirit Ascension Pill was therefore developed. The spirit power inside is the energy for manufacturing artificial spirit souls, so it can raise a spirit soul's cultivation.

"According to the Zhen Hun Douluo himself, in order to become a Limit Douluo, he ate elixirs until he vomited." Gu Yue Na continued.

Huo Yuhao and the crowd of soul beasts in the Spiritual Sea: "..."

Becoming a Limit Douluo by eating elixirs... Soul Engineers from ten thousand years ago would drool with envy, and you're still not satisfied?

Is that what people say?

"But the cost is also expensive. In that era, most of the Spirit Ascension Platform's spirit power was used to make Spirit Ascension Pills. Only a very few quotas were issued to other forces for use, causing quite a few incidents. It took decades to recover.

In a certain sense, he is equivalent to being nurtured with resources that could have raised dozens of hundred-thousand-year spirit souls."

Of course, compared to a Limit Douluo with strange abilities who can serve as a trump card, these things don't count for much.

Thinking this, Gu Yue Na looked at Huo Yuhao. "The Spirit Pagoda values him not just for his strength. He can self-produce soul rings. Whenever he absorbs enough spirit power, his martial soul will condense soul rings for him. If not for needing some spirit souls for supervision, all nine of his soul rings would be self-generated. He has very high research value."

Huo Yuhao heard this and nodded secretly.

A Soul Master who self-produces soul rings isn't much different from Soul Beast Transformation. Among Soul Masters of this era, this former Holy Spirit Cult Four Heavenly Kings leader is also someone he is very interested in.

If there's a chance, he also wants to study the other party's ability, and incidentally ask whether eating elixirs to become a Limit Douluo is actually comfortable or not!

And the Ice Empress in the Spiritual Sea was speechless for a while.

Her previous idea has come true — there really is a human who self-produces soul rings...

Looking at the silent Huo Yuhao before her, Gu Yue Na suddenly asked:

"Now, among the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars Tower Masters and Federal Parliament members, there are soul beasts. From the Execution Department, it can also be seen that Evil Soul Master numbers have likewise begun to decline because of Spirit Soul Contracts. The Spirit Pagoda has fulfilled its original promise, and even gone a step further. Regarding this, are you satisfied?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Whether satisfied or not, the people and soul beasts living in this era must answer. I've only been back a short while; I have no qualification to speak for the Spirit Pagoda. This question should be asked of yourself."

"..."

Gu Yue Na's bright black pupils looked into Huo Yuhao's eyes. After a moment of silence, she broke into a smile. "I don't dislike this era, but I hope it can be better."

Huo Yuhao chuckled lightly, turned, and walked toward the forging room. "The premise of 'better' is participating in the process yourself, right? You want to try a new forging method?"

"Mhm, correct." Gu Yue Na followed with light steps.

The premise of 'better' is, of course, participating oneself.

She, the Silver Dragon King, doesn't want to win by lying flat!

The first floor of this dormitory has rooms dedicated to various sub-occupations. The two arrived at a forging room, and Huo Yuhao took out several pieces of rare metal.

"You can try using elemental power to remove metal impurities first. I understand basic purification; I can give you some guidance."

Gu Yue Na nodded, took a piece of metal, and without using the forging platform, directly used the wind element to send it into the sky. At the same time, various elemental lights began circulating around her body, colorful and dazzling, as if all the elemental power of heaven and earth were responding to her summons.

Compared to when she fought before, her aura right now is unprecedentedly strong.

Huo Yuhao watched this scene, thought of his previous impression of Gu Yue Na, and suddenly thought of six words.

Words as Spirit, Heaven and Earth as Furnace?

You really are Teacher Xiami?

Regarding yesterday's chapter about the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars Tower Masters' strength, the statement wasn't accurate enough. 'Strength' should be added after Super Douluo. It's been corrected now. Some of the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars Tower Masters are fierce beasts with Battle Armor, so please don't think eighteen Super Douluo-level powerhouses is too exaggerated.

The first seven War Gods of the War God Hall are all Super Douluo, with two Limit Douluo as the main and vice hall masters.

The Spirit Pagoda won't be weaker. Adding the fierce beasts' side, gathering eighteen Super Douluo-and-above experts is really not difficult.
