Chapter 259 Awakening of Strange Attributes (Two in One)

"By the way, Yuhao, I have something to tell you."

Tang Ya, who suddenly remembered something, struggled to prop up her head buried in the pillow, turned her head with a dazed look, and looked at the figure.

"What is it?"

"Yes, it's like this."

Tang Ya felt that she was going crazy, so she couldn't even say a complete sentence.

"Big, big sister asked me to ask you, does the Spirit Pagoda need to be promoted in any way?"

Although the words were intermittent, accompanied by various panting and groans that were not sure whether they were painful or other feelings, Huo Yuhao still successfully understood what Tang Ya wanted to express, and fell into deep thought for a while.

From Qiu'er's fusion of the earth dragon golden melon to Xiaoya's fusion of the black jade bamboo, he has personally presided over many soul rituals in the past few years, and has been trying to improve the soul contract by observing these cases, and now it can be regarded as a small achievement.

As early as the beginning of deciding to improve the soul contract, Huo Yuhao determined three directions for improvement.

One is to ensure that soul beasts can continue to practice after becoming soul spirits. The purpose of such improvement is obvious, in order to allow soul spirits to provide more soul rings for the host, and further reduce the soul master's demand for the number of soul spirits.

After all, contracting soul spirits requires a lot of mental power. Non-spiritual soul masters can only contract two soul spirits, and some with poor talents may contract one soul spirit at most. Soul emperors like Huo Yuhao have already contracted several soul spirits, and those who can continue to contract in the future can be described as unmatched.

So it is conceivable that for these soul masters, if the existing soul spirits can no longer provide them with soul rings, and their own mental power does not allow them to contract more soul spirits, they can only obtain soul rings by hunting soul beasts.

Fortunately, the research on this point is not difficult, and Huo Yuhao has already made some progress.

Just like his several ice-attributed soul spirits in his previous life could absorb the ten thousand years of black ice marrow on their own, this proves that soul spirits can originally replenish their own origins by absorbing some natural treasures, thereby providing more soul rings for the host.

What he and Yi Lao want to study is how to popularize this special situation. It is best to allow souls to practice independently and absorb the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth to improve their strength.

As for the second direction.

It is to ensure that soul beasts can not be completely bound to the life and death of soul masters after becoming souls.

Just as Gu Yuena said at the beginning, those who need to extend their lifespans in this way are often those soul beasts who are seriously injured and dying, or those whose time is coming to an end. Such soul beasts do not account for a high proportion in the entire population, and it is impossible to fully meet the human soul ring needs.

For those soul beasts who do not have to worry about their lives, the effect of the soul contract is not only unattractive, but can even be said to be negative.

Unless the host can become a god like Huo Yuhao, no soul beast is willing to give up its lifespan of tens of thousands of years to be permanently bound to a human who can live for a few hundred years at most.

In order to solve this problem, Huo Yuhao also made some efforts.

From himself and Zhang Lexuan who performed rituals with fierce beasts to Nana and Meng Hongchen who signed contracts with ten thousand year soul beasts, Huo Yuhao memorized the transformation process of each soul ritual in his mind, trying to find some help from them.

And who brought the most help in these soul rituals? Qiu'er, Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya, who signed contracts with the immortal grasses in the undead plane.

Plant-based soul beasts are special in themselves, especially their ability to break away from their hosts and take root after the death of their hosts. It can be said that this gave Huo Yuhao and Yi Lao a lot of inspiration.

Perhaps for others, it is still a little difficult to solve the problem that souls can still exist independently after the death of their hosts, but for Yi Lao, it is nothing, because he has already achieved similar things.

Creatures that die in the undead demiplane will retain a trace of soul and be transformed into undead creatures. Although it is somewhat different from the situation of souls, isn't the core contained in it exactly what the soul contract needs?

This is equivalent to having relevant experience and then doing a similar project. The general framework is still the original one. He and Yi Lao only need to make corresponding adjustments according to the needs, and the implementation will naturally be twice the result with half the effort.

In Yi Lao's vision, in the future, after the soul contract is made, the soul tower can completely seal the soul beast corpse converted into soul and store it in the undead plane.

At the same time, he will also improve the soul contract and leave a backdoor on the soul. Once the host dies, this backdoor can pull the soul to the undead plane in the first time and combine with their original body.

Although this method cannot give the soul a new life, it can ensure that it will not dissipate, so as to wait for the next host to re-perform the soul ceremony.

This not only solves the problem of the soul and the host's life and death binding, but also solves the problem that the plant-based soul can only take root after the host's death, which greatly improves the safety of the entire process.

After all, if the host is dead, it means that the current environment is likely to be quite dangerous. In this case, taking root is no different from seeking death.

Of course, we have to take one step at a time. Even if Mr. Yi has had similar experience, it is not an easy task to realize this function.

The complexity of this thing is there. Not only does it require improvements to the soul contract, but it also requires a considerable adjustment to the rules of the undead plane. It is not something that can be achieved overnight.

However, Huo Yuhao is not in a hurry. Even if the number of dying soul beasts is not enough to fully support the human demand for soul rings, that will be a long time in the future.

These dying soul beasts are different from healthy soul beasts. They don’t have a few years left. Even if the soul contract has not been improved, it is an opportunity for them to continue their lives for dozens or hundreds of years.

Compared to dying immediately, it is obviously more attractive to live for a few decades longer and see the human world.

And judging from the current situation, at least in the next ten or twenty years, the soul master’s demand for soul rings can be fully supplemented by those dying soul beasts.

As for twenty years later?

By that time, he and Yi Lao may have already realized this imagined function, so there is no need to worry about soul beasts not wanting to become souls.

The current priority is to solve the problem of soul self-cultivation. This function is relatively simple and equally important.

Since it has been decided to let Gu Yuena see the results of the improvement as soon as possible, it is natural to prioritize this point as a breakthrough.

If the first two improvement directions are equivalent to making corresponding plans for the defects of the soul contract, then the third improvement direction is to find a way to bring practical benefits to soul beasts through the soul contract.

After all, improving defects can only prevent soul beasts from rejecting the contract.

Even if they can practice after becoming souls, what if they don’t have to be bound to the host by life and death?

Can’t they practice without becoming souls?

If there are no benefits, those healthy soul beasts don’t have to give up their freedom and take the initiative to sign a contract with humans.

But the question is, what should humans pay to attract soul beasts to take the initiative to sign a contract?

For this point, Huo Yuhao, Yi Lao, and a group of souls in the spiritual space have come up with an answer that everyone agrees with after several rounds of discussion.

Intelligence.

Even a race like Alu, whose intelligence is among the best in the soul beast group, will have to go through hundreds or even thousands of years to have the thinking of a five or six-year-old human child, and the gap between other soul beasts and humans will only be greater.

If the soul contract can make the two merge more closely, and let the soul share part of the host's spiritual wisdom, it means that those low-level soul beasts can start to practice actively early, greatly enhancing their early cultivation speed.

Imagine that if a soul contract is signed with a human, not only will it not bind life and death, but it can also practice independently, and even share part of the human's spiritual wisdom, those soul beasts under 100,000 years old will definitely rush to sign a contract with humans, not to mention going crazy directly.

Before, Huo Yuhao had been focusing on the soul contract itself, but this time Zhang Lexuan asked Tang Ya to convey the words that reminded him.

The improvement work of the soul contract is indeed progressing steadily, but what about the publicity work?

The Soul Transmission Tower has been built, how should it be promoted?

Shrek?

It seems not enough.

Huo Yuhao changed his movements, one hand continued to hold Tang Ya's hands back, and the other hand reached forward and gently grasped and rubbed. During the whole process, he kept the old mechanical waist straightening movement and thought very rationally.

Although Shrek is famous, judging from the past, many sects with a long history actually have a disdainful attitude towards this so-called first academy on the continent.

After all, most of these people don't care much about worldly affairs, and focus on cultivating the martial spirits inherited by their own sects. For them, what Shrek teaches is not as good as what they teach, so naturally they are not so interested.

If it is promoted in the name of Shrek, those open forces such as the imperial family and major academies may give face and send some people to check the situation, but these sects may not.

Is there any way to show the existence of souls to many forces?

Soul Master Competition?

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, and his sudden enlightenment made him instinctively speed up his waist.

Yes!

Isn't the Soul Master Competition that the sect is allowed to participate in two years a good opportunity?

He could have asked the Spirit Pagoda to organize a team to participate in the Soul Master Competition, just like he did in his previous life when he represented the Tang Sect. He could have directly demonstrated the existence of soul spirits in this highly anticipated competition as a dark horse.

The only thing he needed to worry about was whether the Mingdu Competition in this life would allow the sects to participate.

In his previous life, Xu Tianran created a precedent by allowing the sects to participate in the Soul Master Competition in order to prevent the sects, big and small, from helping the Douluo Three Kingdoms to fight against them. The purpose was to capture the younger generation of those sects as hostages.

And after some changes brought about by his rebirth in this life, Xu Tianran might not be so eager to do this.

However, this problem is also relatively easy to solve, as long as he replaces Xu Tianran and then promotes this matter personally.

Anyway, judging from the situation in the previous life, the sects that knew they had the opportunity to participate in the Soul Master Competition were eager to raise their hands and feet in approval. Under their pressure, the Douluo Three Kingdoms could only accept it even if they were unwilling, and there was no possibility of failure.

But then the problem came. There was nothing wrong with the Spirit Pagoda participating in the competition, but where could he find so many people to form a team!

Like Qiu'er, Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, and Ye Guyi, although they all have souls, even the youngest Ye Guyi will be 22 years old in two years, exceeding the age limit of the competition.

Why not ask Sister Xiaoya's opinion first?

Among the few companions of Huo Yuhao who have reached the age limit and have souls, Tang Ya's strength is undoubtedly the strongest. If she doesn't want to represent the Spirit Pagoda in the battle, then everything will be in vain.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao blinked his eyes and his eyes fell on Tang Ya, who was biting her red lips tightly in front of him, trying not to let her voice leak out.

Seeing the girl's eyes closed, she looked completely shaky. Huo Yuhao had no doubt that if it weren't for his hand that was doing something bad to help support her, Sister Xiaoya would definitely collapse on the bed.

"Sister Xiaoya."

While calling Tang Ya's name, Huo Yuhao hugged her in his arms and whispered his problem in her ear.

"Would you like to represent the Spirit Pagoda in the next Soul Master Competition?"

"Yes, I can."

The sudden acceleration caused Tang Ya's body and voice to tremble violently. Not to mention that she had been tossed to a state of confusion, even if she was awake, she would not refuse Huo Yuhao's request.

But then, the little bit of rationality left made her discover the problem.

"By the way, can the Spirit Pagoda participate in... the Soul Master Competition?"

"Yes, I have a way."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you... I'll listen to you..."

Although it sounded like nonsense, Huo Yuhao still felt the undisguised attachment from it, and his heart couldn't help but throb.

He silently loosened his hands that were holding the other person, and forcefully turned the girl's cheek towards himself, and then moved closer without hesitation.

Just like some kind of panacea, Tang Ya, whose lips were blocked, only felt her body soften, but miraculously stopped trembling. After a short moment of daze, she gently closed her eyes and let her lover conquer her at will.

I don’t know how long it took, until the kiss ended, Huo Yuhao was shocked to find that Sister Xiaoya’s hands were still behind her back, as if waiting for him to cross her again.

“.”

No, you are too perverted, aren’t you?

Huo Yuhao was ashamed, and his understanding of Sister Xiaoya was expanded a little bit.

But now is not the time to care about these. Although Sister Xiaoya agreed, the registration for the competition requires at least seven people’s names to be reported, and only Tang Ya is obviously not enough.

Although he feels that even if there is only one Sister Xiaoya, it is enough to win the championship.

Similar to Qiu’er’s fusion of the earth dragon golden gourd, the moment Tang Ya was given the sixth soul ring by the black jade bamboo, her cultivation level jumped to level 65.

From this point of view alone, the improvement of cultivation by the Black Jade Bamboo is far inferior to that by the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd. After all, the latter directly raised Qiu'er, who has the ultimate martial soul, to level 66.

Of course, the focus of each fairy grass is different, so it is normal to have a gap.

And for the next Soul Master Competition, Tang Ya may not be weaker than Qiu'er in the previous competition.

You know, there are still two years before the next competition.

In two years, Tang Ya can completely use the sealed energy of the Black Jade Bamboo to break through to the Soul Saint level like in her previous life.

On the other hand, Yan Feng of the Holy Spirit Church has been abolished by himself, and Xiao Hongchen should not be as stupid as in his previous life, squeezing his potential to forcibly improve to the Soul Saint.

Looking at the Soul Saints in the Mingdu Competition in the previous life, the only one who can catch up with Tang Ya seems to be Long Aotian of the Body Sect.

But it is far from enough to be equal in cultivation. In terms of strength, Tang Ya, who has awakened the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and possesses a domain, has already far surpassed herself in her previous life.

Let alone Long Aotian, even a team of Long Aotian may not be Tang Ya's opponent in this life.

Although there is still some gap between the Dark Blue Silver Emperor and the top extreme martial souls such as the Golden Dragon, Tang Ya's cultivation is much higher than Qiu'er when she participated in the last competition. The 100,000-year martial soul true body is enough to make up for this gap, allowing her to have a dominance on the field that is no less than Qiu'er.

Participating in the Soul Master Competition in this state is no different from beating up a child.

But no matter how strong Tang Ya's combat power is, teammates are still indispensable. Representing the Spirit Pagoda to participate in this competition is to show the soul to the world. Naturally, the more people who show, the better, and the more diverse the souls shown, the better.

In addition to Tang Ya, it seems that only Nana and Meng Hongchen meet the conditions for participating and have souls.

Nana naturally needs no further explanation, as for Meng Hongchen

Although this girl is Jing Hongchen's granddaughter, Huo Yuhao knows that as long as he asks, the other party will definitely agree.

If there is any obstacle, it is nothing more than Jing Hongchen knowing his identity and then strictly prohibiting Meng Hongchen from joining the Spirit Pagoda.

But judging from the old fox's character of doting on his granddaughter, it will only be a matter of time before he agrees.

As for his identity being exposed?

Anyway, with his current strength, he can come and go freely even without the Snow Queen, so if it is exposed, it is exposed.

And in the future, he will replace the crown prince Xu Tianran. At that time, the rice will be cooked. Even if his identity is not exposed, he will take the initiative to confront Jing Hongchen.

Thinking about it, he still feels embarrassed.

After coming to Sun and Moon College for a few years, I even picked up a bunch of rare metals and several ninth-level soul tools. Now I am actually thinking of kidnapping someone else's granddaughter back to work for me and build an image for my power. ambassador……

If the Hongchen Hall Master knows the truth, he will probably be so angry that he will explode on the spot, right?

Of course, it doesn't matter even if Jing Hongchen disagrees in the end. Regardless of whether Meng Hongchen joins or not, the number of people in the Spirit Transferring Tower will not meet the competition requirements. He still has to continue to recruit people from Shrek's companions.

Just like in the previous life, in addition to their members who participated in the previous competition, Shrek also has many talented students such as Ning Tian and Wu Feng.

Even if he takes away all his original companions, Shrek can still form a strong team.

However, this matter is too complicated, and it is definitely difficult to ask Sister Xiaoya to help convey it.

It just so happened that there was still more than half of the vacation left. He might have to go back to Shrek with the other party and discuss it with his companions in person.

Thinking of this, he gently grasped the soft flesh again and spoke warmly.

"Sister Xiaoya, I will go back to the college with you tomorrow and talk to Sister Lexuan about this matter."

"good……"

Tang Ya felt like her brain was about to burn. When she heard Huo Yuhao's words, she just instinctively opened her mouth and responded unconsciously.

Seeing this scene, the passion in Huo Yuhao's heart completely exploded, and he no longer thought about those trivial things.

The moon hangs high outside the window, indicating the long night.
