Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 213: The Idea of an External Soul Core

“I have an idea. What if we could condense a super-sized soul core? Wouldn't that make cultivation much faster?” Huo Yuhao's eyes sparkled, as the successful condensation of the soul core this time had given him many ideas.

However, Xue Di shook her head slightly. “It's impossible. Even if we could successfully condense it, the energy would be too strong and become a hidden danger. The human body has limited endurance.”

“I've thought of that too, but we don't necessarily have to keep it inside the body. We can place the soul core outside, as long as it's stable enough. If it's not stable enough, we can reinforce it with soul guidance arrays.”

As he said this, Huo Yuhao felt a little excited, feeling that this matter had great potential, and even if the experiment failed outside the body, it wouldn't be too dangerous.

Xue Di pondered slightly, feeling that Huo Yuhao's idea might not be impossible to realize. “But placing the soul core externally has a fatal flaw. What if an enemy attacks your soul core? Wouldn't that be equivalent to carrying a soul-guided bomb?”

“That problem isn't much. Just watch.” Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, and after speaking, he reached out and grabbed the stool Xue Di had been sitting on from a distance.

Next, a magical scene occurred. The stool slowly flew towards Huo Yuhao, shrinking rapidly during the process, until it landed in Huo Yuhao's hand, having shrunk to the size of a fingernail.

“The power of space.” Xue Di's eyes narrowed, and after careful observation, she saw through the mystery. In fact, the stool hadn't become smaller, but rather the space in which the stool was located had been folded and compressed.

Xue Di's gaze towards Huo Yuhao changed again after discerning the truth, with a hint of admiration in her complexity. She had known before that this guy's attainments in space were extraordinary, but she also possessed the power of space. She could also do things like space gates, and she felt that Huo Yuhao and she were just about equal.

But today, Huo Yuhao taught her a lesson. Xue Di clearly knew that she couldn't do the scene before her, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that humans were indeed the spirit of all things, truly blessed by nature.

“I didn't expect your understanding of the power of space to have reached this level. In that case, those things you said might not be impossible to do, and the soul power transmission between you and the soul core can also utilize space channels.”

“The weather is very nice today.”

“……” Several large question marks popped up on Xue Di's head.

They were just talking about soul cores, how did they suddenly talk about the weather? Xue Di was a little unaccustomed to such a jumpy conversation, and looked outside, where it was snowing heavily, a vast expanse of white. You call this nice weather?

Faced with Xue Di's strange gaze, Huo Yuhao wasn't embarrassed, “How about it, would you like to go to our human city with me?”

“Okay.”

Xue Di's straightforward answer made Huo Yuhao slightly stunned, and then he looked at Xue Di with a faint smile and said: "You really agreed? Aren't you worried that I'll get people to set up an ambush? After all, you are a 700,000-year-old super soul beast, and I don't know how many people covet your soul ring and soul bone."

This was only because he was acquainted with Xue Di, otherwise anyone else who dared to speak like this in front of Xue Di would surely have a miserable end.

“Would you?” But Xue Di didn't get angry, but looked directly at Huo Yuhao, her eyes deep.

“That's not certain.” Huo Yuhao smiled, took out a map from the Purple Chain, glanced over it, and then fixed his gaze on Dragon City, located in the northeast of the Tianhun Empire.

Dragon City was the city where the Earth Dragon Sect was located. Huo Yuhao was going there to complete the transaction with Nan Shuishui and collect the benefits.

Putting away the map, he took out another item from the Purple Chain and threw it to Xue Di, explaining: “Don't put it in the storage space, carry it with you, it can conceal the aura of a soul beast on your body.”

What Huo Yuhao gave Xue Di was the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Transformation Saliva. According to records, taking this herb can improve one's foundation, cleanse the marrow and scour the essence, and also has the effect of beautifying the skin.

Later, Huo Yuhao accidentally discovered that this herb could also hide one's aura. Speaking of which, this was thanks to the Snow Demon. When Huo Yuhao's mental power swept through the Purple Chain space, he didn't sense the aura of the Snow Demon soul beast, so Huo Yuhao quickly noticed the immortal herb.

After separating all the immortal herbs and putting them in individually, he discovered the special effect of the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Transformation Saliva.

Xue Di took the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Transformation Saliva and took a look. It was umbrella-shaped, looked like a mushroom, and was ugly. One word to describe it was ugly, very ugly.

“No need, I can do it myself.” After Xue Di finished speaking, she threw the ugly mushroom back, and at the same time, the aura on her body quickly converged.

Taking the ugly mushroom, noticing the change in Xue Di's aura, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but show a curious look on his face. He didn't know what method Xue Di used to conceal her aura so perfectly, giving people the feeling that she was an ordinary person without any cultivation.

Out of curiosity, Huo Yuhao released his mental power and carefully scanned Xue Di's body, but the result he got was still no discovery, which made him even more amazed.

“Have you looked enough?” Xue Di's annoyed voice came, and the soul beast overlord's face was blushing at this moment, staring at Huo Yuhao angrily.

“Cough cough, curiosity, curiosity.” Huo Yuhao coughed dryly. Indeed, his behavior just now was too easy to be misunderstood. Those who didn't know might have thought he was up to no good.

“Okay, since you're ready, let's go.” After saying that, she opened the gate of space as before and drilled into it as if escaping.

Xue Di snorted coldly and followed closely behind.

……

“Damn it, it's been a week, why haven't I seen a decent caravan?”

“Who says otherwise, it's been half a month since I've had any meat. Brothers who are flush with cash, lend me some, I'm going to Drunken Fragrance Tower to let off some steam.”

“Go, go, go, wasn't that girl yesterday quite watery, why didn't you force yourself on her?”

“Third Master, you're joking, that's the Dragon City Lord's precious daughter, how could I have the guts?”

On the official road, a group of more than a dozen people were laughing and joking. These people looked fierce, and one person had a long scar on his face, running through his entire left face, and at first glance, they didn't look like good people.

“Third Master, look ahead.” Someone suddenly exclaimed.

Hearing this, the others looked in the direction the man was pointing, and saw that not far ahead, a silver light gate had appeared at some point. Just as the people were curious about what this was, two figures walked out of it one after another.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Huo Yuhao wasn't sure where he had been teleported to. He hadn't been to Dragon City, and according to the map, he could only guarantee that the general direction and distance wouldn't deviate too much, but he couldn't achieve precise positioning.

As he scanned his surroundings, he quickly noticed the dozen or so people in front of him, but before he could ask for directions, the group surrounded him and Xue Di.

The dozen or so people surrounding Huo Yuhao suddenly made way for a path, and then a young man in blue walked over unhurriedly. This man had a strong aura, and it could be seen that he should be a boss.
