Chapter 97 Yes, you are right (disdainful face)

In the outer area of ​​the Star Forest, the sun shines through the sparse leaves, casting mottled light and shadow, and the air is filled with the fragrance of earth and trees.

Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao walked side by side on a winding path, surrounded by towering ancient trees, as if they were whispering.

Occasionally, a few small animals that were weak and not even soul beasts would scurry around in the bushes, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.

"Yuhao, do you really want to have a fight with Dean Qian?"

Ma Xiaotao's voice sounded particularly clear in the silence, and her brows frowned slightly.

Huo Yuhao turned his head and smiled, his eyes shining with determination.

"Yes, hehe, by the time this soul hunting is over, my strength should be about the same. It's just time for Lao Deng to test it and see what level my strength is."

There was a sense of confidence in his words, as if he had already seen the scene of beating "Lao Deng" in the future.

However, Ma Xiaotao's heart was stirred up.

She knew that Huo Yuhao's strength was constantly improving, but facing a strong man like Dean Qian, she would inevitably have the idea of ​​overestimating his capabilities.

To be precise, she wanted to go against Qian Duoduo with Huo Yuhao, just to test her own strength level.

"Damn it, last time I came with Yuhao, he was still in the fifth ring, but this time he wants the sixth ring?"

Ma Xiaotao suddenly discovered a blind spot and the corners of her mouth twitched.

At the same time, a sense of urgency could not help but emerge in my heart.

Because if this continues, she will most likely be quickly surpassed by Huo Yuhao.

Although she had been prepared in her heart, such a fast speed still made her feel unreal.

Huo Yuhao said while releasing the mental detection sharing, his expression focused and determined.

Mental power is like an invisible net that instantly covers the surrounding environment, capturing every movement in detail.

It is not difficult for him to use both distractions and distractions. His strong mental power allows him to deal with everything in front of him at the same time.

"Huo Yuhao, come on, give Dean Qian a hard blow."

Xiao Xiao interrupted from the side, with a hint of ridicule in his voice.

Her smile was as bright as the sun, but it was a little dazzling in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"Hey, Xiao Xiao, I will help you find a smelly mud monster to be your fourth soul later, do you believe it?

"Huo Yuhao's lips curved into a teasing smile.

After Xiao Xiao heard this, the smile on his face instantly froze, and he quickly waved his hands to beg for mercy, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

She seemed to be really afraid that Huo Yuhao would give her a smelly and ugly mud monster as her fourth soul.

"I was wrong, squad leader Yuhao."

Her voice was a bit pleading, like a kitten being teased and overwhelmed, and her heart was full of helplessness and shame.

Xiao Xiao's cheeks turned slightly red, and she thought to herself: This guy is really getting better and better at joking, and he even threatened me with a smelly mud monster.

But there was a cunning look in her eyes.

"That won't work. Just let her soul become a smelly mud monster. I think that's fine."

Ma Xiaotao interrupted with a sly smile on her lips, as if she thought this idea was extremely feasible.

Her voice was like a clear bell, with a hint of playfulness, causing Xiao Xiao's little face to instantly wrinkle into the shape of a bitter gourd, with a look of innocence and grievance shining in her eyes.

"Sister Xiaotao, you have gone too far!"

Xiao Xiao pouted, feeling a little dissatisfied, but helpless.

She knew that it would be better if these two guys didn't get together. Once they got together, they were both people who liked to joke. No matter how much she resisted, she couldn't change their nature.

At this time, her mood was like a flower blown by the wind, swaying unsteadily, but she could not escape the playful atmosphere.

Next to them, Ling Luochen, who was always wary of his surroundings, had a burning gaze and a strange look in his eyes.

She frowned slightly and thought to herself: "Is this still the flame mad demon Ma Xiaotao I know?

Why does it look like he has changed? "

Ling Luochen's heart was full of surprises and doubts, and she was full of inner activities, but her face showed no emotion at all. She was like a statue of an iceberg goddess, cold and arrogant.

As they went deeper, the surrounding environment gradually became dark and mysterious.

The trees are getting denser, the branches and leaves are intertwined, the sunlight is blocked less and less, and the air is filled with a moist atmosphere, which seems to indicate the coming danger.

Shadows swam beneath their feet, as if there were countless unknowns and surprises hidden there.

And this is only the outer edge of the Star Dou Forest.

Generally, only soul beasts of ten to one hundred years roam around, and soul beasts of one thousand years are rare.

On the other side, the royal family members of the Star Luo Empire, who were also next to Huo Yuhao and others, gathered around Xu Mingyu.

When he heard that Huo Yuhao and others were chatting about soul hunting and then fighting Qian Duoduo, he also joined them.

Xu Mingyu's eyes flashed with curiosity as he listened to Huo Yuhao's conversation.

He is dressed in gorgeous clothes, has a handsome face, and has an extraordinary temperament.

He had a prominent position in the Star Luo Empire, but he had never seen a soul master as young but full of potential as Huo Yuhao.

At this moment, his heart was full of doubts and surprise.

"Do you really want to fight Wulong Mianxia?"

Xu Mingyu couldn't help but interrupt, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

A flash of astonishment flashed in his eyes. After all, Qian Duoduo is a level 95 Oolong Douluo. He has strong strength and rich combat experience, and can even be regarded as a top figure on the entire continent.

Huo Yuhao was just a young man who had just entered the realm of the Six-Ring Soul Emperor. The gap between the two was like a world of difference.

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, with a firm light in his eyes.

"Yes, how could this be false?"

Xu Mingyu could not help but feel shocked, and his impression of Huo Yuhao changed instantly.

He remembered the strict training and education he had received in the palace. Although he was a member of the royal family, he had never experienced a real battle.

Compared with Huo Yuhao, his life seemed so monotonous and boring.

"Do you really believe that you can defeat Qian Duoduo?"

Xu Mingyu's voice became low, with a hint of disbelief.

Xu Mingyu naturally knew Qian Duoduo's strength.

Level 95 Oolong Douluo, and also an eighth-level soul mentor.

He was one of the best figures in the entire continent.

Now a teenager like Huo Yuhao was going to fight against such a strong man who had been famous on the continent for many years. Even if Qian Duoduo was Huo Yuhao's master, it still surprised Xu Mingyu.

After all, even after this soul hunting, Huo Yuhao is only a six-ring soul emperor.

The gap between a six-ring soul emperor and a level 95 super douluo is absolutely ridiculous.

It can be said that the improvement before the title douluo is not as great as the improvement from title douluo to super douluo.

"Yuhao, what level are you at now?"

Xu Mingyu's voice echoed in the empty training ground, with a somewhat teasing tone.

Huo Yuhao stood on a green grass, surrounded by lush trees, and the sun cast mottled light and shadows through the leaves.

He looked up at Xu Mingyu.

"I am just barely a titled douluo now."

Huo Yuhao answered in a joking tone, based on the idea of ​​not hitting a smiling person.

In fact, his strength is stronger than that of an average titled douluo. In a full-strength battle, no one below the super douluo is qualified to pose a threat to him.

Xu Mingyu's eyes flashed with doubt, and he obviously didn't believe what Huo Yuhao said.

His eyes were burning, as if he wanted to see some clues from Huo Yuhao's face.

"Brother Yuhao really likes to joke."

He shook his head, with a smile on his lips.

"But after you get the sixth soul, two hundred thousand year soul rings plus a hundred thousand year soul bone, maybe you can really fight with the titled Douluo.

After hearing this, Huo Yuhao just smiled slightly, but sighed in his heart.

If it was someone familiar, he might seriously explain his true strength.

But Xu Mingyu in front of him was not strong enough, and he was not an acquaintance. The most important thing was that his status was not very high.

It was really meaningless to pretend in front of him.

At this time, the sun shone through the leaves on Huo Yuhao's body, warm and soft.

"Yeah, yes, you are right. "

Huo Yuhao's tone seemed a little perfunctory, and his eyes wandered carelessly in the corner of the hall, as if he was thinking about something more important.

However, Xu Mingyu seemed not to notice his indifference and continued to ask with great interest.

"Brother Yuhao, how much can the soul improve the combat effectiveness of soul masters?"

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, thinking to himself that Xu Mingyu's questioning was not out of real curiosity, but his instinctive reaction as a member of the royal family.

After all, members of the royal family always wear a complex mask. On the surface, it is a friendly exchange, but in fact, it hides endless calculations and temptations.

Huo Yuhao knew that Xu Mingyu did not fail to feel the perfunctory in his words, but between Huo Yuhao's little bit of goodwill and the secret of the soul, he chose the latter.

"The soul can indeed improve the combat effectiveness of soul masters. "

Huo Yuhao finally decided to respond, with a hint of patience in his voice.

He turned his gaze to Xu Mingyu, thinking in his heart how to turn this seemingly simple question into an opportunity to promote soul spirits in his favor.

"Soul spirits are not only a helper in battle, but also a bridge between soul masters and nature."

He continued, his eyes flashing with love and persistence for soul spirits.

"Each soul spirit has its own unique characteristics and abilities, which can provide unexpected help to soul masters at critical moments. "

Xu Mingyu was slightly stunned, as if he was surprised by Huo Yuhao's answer.

There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and even a little eagerness, wanting to learn more about this mysterious existence.

Several members of the royal family next to him also pricked up their ears, and their eyes focused on Huo Yuhao. It was obvious that they were full of interest in this topic.

Huo Yuhao noticed their reactions and was secretly delighted.

Each member of the royal family has strong family support behind him, and their attention means that his words will quickly spread to a wider circle.

He took a deep breath and continued: "Soul spirits not only improve the combat effectiveness of soul masters, but more importantly, they can form a tacit understanding with soul masters in battle, enhancing the combat ability and potential of soul masters. "

"In my opinion, the importance of soul spirits to soul masters is definitely not weaker than soul guides, and even more than that. "

"Like soul rings, soul spirits are also divided into ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, and a hundred thousand years. "

"Each level of soul spirit is like a bright star, which can help soul masters to exert stronger strength in battle.

"Although their combat power is slightly weaker than when they were alive, that kind of soul resonance and tacit understanding can still enhance their own martial spirits and even assist in training."

"This kind of effect is far beyond what a simple soul guide can match."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and continued: "The most important thing is that the soul can grow."

"The level of each soul gradually increases with the training of the soul master."

"When the soul ring evolves, the power of the soul can not only enhance the power of one's own soul skills, but also feed back to the soul master, giving him deeper strength and support."

"This mutually reinforcing relationship is why I say that the soul is more important than the soul guide."

The group of people walked all the way to the outskirts of the mixed zone before they stopped communicating.

The environment here is completely different from the previous place, and the surrounding atmosphere has become tense and depressing.

There is a faint breath of danger in the air of the mixed zone, as if there are countless unknown challenges lurking there.

Thousand-year-old soul beasts can be seen everywhere here, and they can be encountered even if they are ten thousand years old. Only hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts are still rare.

In this area, although there is not much threat to Huo Yuhao and others, Huo Yuhao still adheres to the principle of "be careful with the Wannian Ship" and is secretly vigilant in his heart.

Huo Yuhao expanded the shared range of mental detection and tried to keep everything around him under control.

Not long after, a 3,500-year-old Kong Ming leopard was discovered.

"The Three Thousand Five Hundred Years Kong Ming Leopard should be a good match for you, Li Wen, right?"

Huo Yuhao said, looking at a member of the royal family.

The member nodded and walked forward with trepidation.

The familiar black magic circle unfolded from under Huo Yuhao.

Because it has been used dozens of times, the integration this time was surprisingly smooth.

In less than ten minutes, Li Wen had completed the integration.

What surprised Huo Yuhao even more was that Li Wen was so lucky that he directly obtained a 3,500-year-old soul bone.

Although the quality is not high, it is more in line with the martial soul and the soul ring.

So Li Wen chose to absorb after hesitating for a while.

The soul power directly broke through to the forty-second level.

A bright yellow leopard appeared next to Li Wen, looking extremely docile.

"Go, Kongmingclaw!"

Following Li Wen's order, huge scratches cut into a tree as thick as a person's waist.

After this good start, the following staff became even more enthusiastic.

Especially with the help of Huo Yuhao's mental detection sharing, all the members of the royal family except Xu Mingyu were taken care of in one morning.

Only Xu Mingyu is the fifth soul ring, which requires the ten thousand year level to be more difficult.

In the end, a ten-thousand-year-old crested bird was chosen as the fifth soul.

What's even more outrageous is that he was lucky enough to get a ten-thousand-year soul bone.

If it weren't for the lack of response from the golden ball of luck, Huo Yuhao would have thought that Xu Mingyu was also a person with great luck.
