Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 256: Stepping Down

Pang Yu, as usual, reported his insights after the soul ring enhancement.

"Just like before, my physical attributes haven't increased, but after the Lord raised my soul ring to the 100,000-year level, my soul power increased by another two levels, reaching level 59.

My soul skill has also reached the level of a 100,000-year soul skill, but it didn't produce a second soul skill like a normal 100,000-year soul ring..."

After listening, the others exchanged glances, all lost in thought. After a few breaths, Huo Yuhao took the lead and said, "It seems that the Soul Condensation Method can completely replace the previous method of hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings. The only drawbacks are that it doesn't produce soul bones, and it only has the effect of enhancing physical fitness when absorbing the soul ring for the first time. Later, increasing the age has no effect, only enhancing the effect of the soul skill."

The others nodded silently. Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and said, "Alright, let's stop here for now. It's time to put the plan on the agenda."

In fact, the Soul Condensation Method still has great flaws. The main one is that it can't determine the type of soul skill produced, and it can only increase the age of the soul ring.

This kind of behavior feels like exploiting the loopholes in the world's rules.

Zhou Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Is the Lord planning to start building a force? I wonder what your subordinate can do?"

Zhou Qi's attitude was very respectful. These days, he had witnessed many incredible things about this young man, which had truly subverted his worldview.

He had also joined Ming Sect long ago. Now, Zhou Qi sincerely admired this Lord he recognized. The forced emotions from before had eased a lot, replaced by joy. After siding with Huo Yuhao, he saw the hope of breaking through to a higher level.

In his opinion, Huo Yuhao has talent, strength, and a background. He also has things that are coveted, such as Ming Sect and the Soul Condensation Method. It is inevitable that his power will flourish in the future. What he is considering now is how to eliminate the negative impact that his two stupid sons had brought to Huo Yuhao.

Even if he joined Huo Yuhao's command, Zhou Qi wanted to climb up as much as possible, instead of being treated like a dog that could be replaced at any time. Therefore, he had been doing his best these days.

"Well, I'm going to condense my sixth soul ring in the next two days, and then I have to tell my teacher and the others."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, paused, and then said, "Arrange for the auction house to hold an auction in a month. I'll provide the finale items: a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone."

Zhou Qi understood that the Lord wanted to make a name for himself before the power took shape, and immediately replied, "Don't worry, Lord, I will take care of it. I will definitely spread the news quickly and ensure that it will be packed with people at that time."

"Okay, go do it." Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and waved Zhou Qi and Pang Yu away.

Huo Yuhao had long had the idea of creating a force, recruiting a group of subordinates, and letting them recruit people to expand Ming Sect.

Huo Yuhao had considered cooperating with other sects or empires to promote Ming Sect, but after careful thought, it was not feasible. The major empires and sects all held a suppressive attitude towards civilian soul masters, emphasizing hierarchy and class.

But the largest base is civilian soul masters. Huo Yuhao was worried that those empires and sects would only collect money and not do anything, so it was better to do it himself.

Moreover, he had another profound meaning in creating a force, which was to prepare for collecting faith in the future and lay the foundation.

After the two left, Huo Yuhao looked at Xue Di and said, "Xue'er, I can't make the Soul Condensation Method public for the time being. One is that it's not perfect enough, and the other is that I need to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xue Di put a finger on his lips, stopping him from continuing. Xue Di said softly, "I understand. You don't need to explain."

Seeing such a sensible Xue Di, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, his heart warmed, but he didn't say anything sentimental. He sat down on the spot and began to condense his sixth soul ring.

Soon after, a blood-red soul ring appeared above Huo Yuhao's head, followed by his original five soul rings, yellow, purple, black, black, and red, neatly arranged.

At this time, the blood-red soul ring above his head slowly fell and stabilized after the fifth soul ring. The absorption speed was very fast, and the whole process took less than 30 minutes, and there were no difficulties or twists and turns.

It is worth mentioning that Huo Yuhao's sixth soul ring does not have a soul skill. Of course, this is not a mistake, but he felt that it was not necessary, because he rarely relied on soul ring skills. Condensing the soul ring to 100,000 years was also because a high-year soul ring can increase some soul power, and secondly, it was because of obsessive-compulsive disorder. After all, the fifth soul ring is already red, and it would not look good if the sixth soul ring was not entirely red.

However, the facts proved that they were thinking too much. Huo Yuhao said slowly, "I have decided to step down from the position of young sect master and request to join the Elder Council."

What!

A word stirred up a thousand waves. Except for Poison Undying and Jin Peng, everyone looked puzzled, looking at each other and whispering.

"May I ask, young sect master, why? Could it be that someone said something unpleasant?"

Gu Qingchen stood up and asked. In fact, he didn't say the second half of his sentence. Even if you are a genius, you can't break the rules of the sect. You can't enter the Elder Council unless you are a Titled Douluo, let alone you are only a Soul King now.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about when Huo Yuhao first joined the Body Sect. At that time, Poison Undying decided that Huo Yuhao was the successor of the Body Sect master, and there was no selection competition or anything, so many people in the sect were not convinced at the time, thinking that he was a crony and not worthy of his position.

It's just that Huo Yuhao lived in seclusion and didn't know anything about it. Later, he led the team to break through the Soul Master Competition invincible, which made the Body Sect disciples worship him one after another. After the establishment of Ming Sect, even the elders admired him from the bottom of their hearts and recognized his position.

But now he is going to abdicate, which makes everyone puzzled. Although the elder's position is equal to the young sect master, entering the Elder Council means that Huo Yuhao has given up the future sect master position.

And it's still that sentence, you can't enter the Elder Council unless you are a Titled Douluo.

"Elder Gu, don't be impatient. I will explain your question later, but I will explain in advance that I did not hear anything unpleasant, and the decision is due to my own reasons."

Huo Yuhao first replied to Gu Qingchen, and then turned his gaze to the Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng.

Seeing this, Jin Peng stood up, pinching his nose, and said in a muffled voice, "I have no opinion on the young sect master's decision, but I think the young sect master is qualified to enter the Elder Council."

"Why does Elder Jin say this? You must know that only Titled Douluos have been allowed to enter the Elder Council in this sect."

Speaking of this, Jin Peng's old face turned dark, and he said unhappily, "Last night, the young sect master and I had a spar, and the result was a tie. I hereby declare that I didn't hold back. The sect master can testify."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they turned their eyes to Poison Undying, with inquiries in their eyes.

Poison Undying's face was not much better either. He thought of last night, after sending Lao Jin away, his conversation with his apprentice.

Poison Undying: "Stinky brat, tell me honestly, what level has your strength reached now?"

Huo Yuhao thought carefully for a while, and then replied seriously: "Under normal circumstances, I can barely compare to level 97."

"Then what if you use all means?" Poison Undying asked again.

But seeing the apprentice looking at him seriously, he said: "If I try my best, I can drag Master down with me."

Poison Undying almost vomited a mouthful of old blood on the spot. This rebellious disciple, can't you use another metaphor? Extreme Douluo or Mu En, am I not able to understand? Why do you want to attack my old bones?
