Chapter 26, I've won over Su Tong.
How should a Soul Master react when facing a Soul Saint?
Su Tong gave a textbook answer.
"This humble woman... greets... sir."
After regaining her composure, Su Tong bowed respectfully without the slightest hesitation.
Even though she considered herself an unparalleled genius.
However, a genius who doesn't rise to prominence is not a genius.
Faced with absolute power, one is nothing but a weakling.
I thought it would be some unknown small force, and the person in front of me was only slightly stronger.
When I become strong enough in the future, I will be able to leave.
Unexpectedly, a Soul Saint level expert was standing in front of him.
It also possesses a 100,000-year soul ring.
The difference between ten years and a hundred years can be said to be tenfold, so the difference between a thousand-year soul ring and a hundred-thousand-year soul ring is a full ten thousandfold.
A Soul Saint with a 100,000-year Soul Ring is comparable to a Soul Douluo.
A force capable of hunting 100,000-year-old soul beasts is definitely not an ordinary small force; it might even be a hidden sect.
It was an honor for her to join.
"Ha, you're very clever."
Huo Yuhao looked at Su Tong, who had lowered her proud head, and chuckled.
Don't be fooled by his seemingly calm and collected demeanor.
In reality, I was already secretly laughing to myself.
Simulated soul skills are not simply about simulating the color of a soul ring; they can also change a person's physique, appearance, and aura.
With a true 100,000-year soul ring, he was able to subdue Su Tong.
"Although you have joined my Spirit Pagoda, you still need to increase your contribution to improve your treatment and influence," Huo Yuhao said righteously, putting away his spirit ring.
"I understand."
Upon hearing this, Su Tong paused for a moment, then bit her lip and replied.
She knew very well that even though she was the ultimate ice, her innate full soul power was enough to make her a true peerless genius.
But, at nineteen, the class of thirty...
How can a martial soul with severe defects receive true cultivation?
Especially for someone like her who joined the faction later in life, loyalty is one thing, but contributing is even more important if she wants to gain more resources.
"My purpose in emerging into this world is twofold: first, to gather geniuses, and second, to establish a branch that faces the Douluo Continent."
Huo Yuhao's simple sentence revealed what he is doing now and what he will do in the future.
The language used is highly flawed.
But it can also easily lead to wild fantasies.
"Yes, Su Tong will definitely follow you, sir."
"Together, we will establish a branch of the Spirit Pagoda and lay the foundation for future generations."
Looking at the passionate figure before him, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly.
Goodness, what did he imagine?
But that's alright.
"Kifter Emperor".
Huo Yuhao waved his robes, raised his fair hand high, and a huge golden clock stood behind him. Instantly, an aura of supreme life gradually spread out.
Su Tong, who was standing to the side, was also watching this scene intently.
Looking at the clock so closely, she felt her martial spirit tremble slightly, as if it were filled with fear.
It's something that can make a martial soul with the ultimate attributes feel this way.
Could it be related to God?
Like the Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago?
Just as Su Tong was lost in thought, Huo Yuhao took out a Type 1871 rifle, pointed it at his head, and said softly, "Don't resist. This is a necessary process for joining the faction."
"what?"
Before Su Tong could ask anything, she felt her mind churn, and a strong sense of dizziness almost made her lose her balance.
He barely managed to calm himself down thanks to the support of his soul power.
"I have left a mark on your body. It will not cause any problems in daily life, and it can even nourish your spirit. However, if you betray the Spirit Pagoda, there will definitely be some backlash."
Huo Yuhao's cold words sent a chill down Su Tong's spine.
Despite possessing the ultimate ice and being immune to the cold, he now felt as if he had fallen into the absolute zero realm, his whole body chilled to the bone.
Su Tong quickly examined herself and discovered that she had a mark in her mind that resembled that mysterious clock.
It stands in the middle of the sea of spirit.
An indescribable and inexplicable power swirled around him.
In the blink of an eye, she could feel her spirit growing slightly.
It's clearly in her best interest.
This also partially illustrates that backlash does indeed exist.
"Please rest assured, my lord, I would never betray you."
Su Tong completely gave in.
As the saying goes, "If you can't resist, then accept it with all your might."
Anyway, it's much better than being homeless alone.
"Don't worry, I can swear on my martial soul that as long as you don't betray me, I naturally won't really harm you."
Huo Yuhao said seriously.
"Thank you for your understanding, sir." Su Tong looked at the figure in front of her, which was covered by a black robe, with a rather complicated expression.
The other party is capable of going to such lengths.
How can I prevent her from becoming completely distraught?
"Alright, let's head back to Snowfall City first."
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Huo Yuhao suggested going back.
There are still hidden risks here.
Even with Ice Emperor present, their trump cards are enough to contend against a Title Douluo.
But it's also a one-time use item.
Even after becoming a spirit, Hyotei's condition wasn't particularly good.
Once activated, it will inevitably fall into a deep sleep.
Along the way, Huo Yuhao would occasionally use his spiritual sense to detect and observe Su Tong's changes.
Seeing that he didn't show any emotion, I felt relieved.
After all, he didn't leave any hidden tricks in his spiritual sea.
He simply left a time imprint on it.
It has only one function.
Time accelerates.
However, it's not the kind of enemy Huo Yuhao usually faces.
Instead, it quietly absorbs the other party's spiritual power, and while maintaining the activity of the imprint, it exhales a wisp of pure spiritual power.
This will allow the other party to perceive an increase in their own mental strength.
As for the consumption, it is extremely rare, and only those who are spiritual-type soul masters or those with great strength would notice it.
Because of this, Huo Yuhao was able to use Su Tong with peace of mind.
If he were truly a Soul Saint, he wouldn't care.
Unfortunately, it was just a simulation.
"Is my lord showing me some consideration?"
Looking at the figure moving at a moderate pace from behind, Su Tong's beautiful eyes sparkled with a special light, and she was immediately moved.
He was clearly a Soul Saint, yet he took such good care of her.
It was an honor for her to join such a force.
In reality, Huo Yuhao was simply too weak.
My soul power has already been almost completely depleted.
It's simply not fast enough.
If a soul beast appears, he will still have to rely on Su Tong.
It's euphemistically called "forging".
Fortunately, perhaps it's because of the title of "Child of Destiny".
Nothing unexpected happened until they returned to Snowfall City.
Not to mention spirit beasts, we didn't even encounter a single human.
"Let's go turn in the mission first."
Huo Yuhao took out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's token and went with Su Tong to submit the mission.
Because the employer was not dead, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did not question the others further.
It seems that death is nothing out of the ordinary.
"We'll rest for three days, then we'll head to the Douling Empire."
Huo Yuhao left those words behind and couldn't wait to return to his room.
He lay limp on the bed like a dead dog.
I'm completely exhausted.
But I was incredibly excited.
I almost wanted to shout, "I've caught Su Tong (Pokémon)!"
Once the flaws in one's martial soul are resolved, one is qualified to be granted a title.
He even obtained a piece of external soul attached to his bone during this trip.
They made a fortune.
