Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 281: The God Rank Descends Again

“Teacher, this disciple is foolish and has disappointed you.”

After getting ashore, Su Shan'er stood before Huo Yuhao with her head lowered, like a little girl who had done something wrong.

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly and said calmly, “Mediocre talent isn't your fault. Back then, I was far inferior to you, but didn't I still reach where I am today? If talent isn't enough, then risk your life and work harder than others, endure hardships that others can't. Effort may not always work, but without effort, you will definitely achieve nothing.”

Su Shan'er's spirits lifted, and she said respectfully, “Thank you for your teachings, Teacher. This disciple understands.”

“Mm, your soul power has broken through level twenty, right?”

Although Huo Yuhao was asking, his tone was very certain. Su Shan'er's cultivation level couldn't hide from his eyes.

Su Shan'er nodded her little head and said, “I discovered it this morning when I woke up.”

“Mm, adjust your state. We will absorb your second soul ring in a moment.”

Hearing this, Su Shan'er looked around, but there were no soul beasts. However, thinking about how her teacher had taken her and her grandmaster from the Body Sect to the Star Dou Great Forest in the blink of an eye last time, Su Shan'er wasn't surprised.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Shan'er stood up from the ground, full of energy and a little excited, “Teacher, I'm ready.”

Huo Yuhao smiled. She was still a child after all, so excited at the mention of obtaining a soul ring.

Huo Yuhao opened his palm, and pure white energy gathered in his palm.

Gradually, this energy formed a white soul ring in his palm, and energy was continuously pouring out of Huo Yuhao's palm. As the energy entered the soul ring, the white soul ring began to change rapidly: light yellow, dark yellow, light purple, and then it settled on dark purple.

The soul ring technology was not yet mature, and the main aspect was the generated soul skills.

However, Su Shan'er's martial soul was extremely special and would not generate soul skills when absorbing soul rings, so Huo Yuhao directly condensed a soul ring for her, which was also worry-free and effortless.

Without hesitation, Su Shan'er 100% trusted her teacher, sat cross-legged on the ground, and guided the soul ring onto herself. It was no different from absorbing a normal soul ring.

If there was a difference, it was that it was exceptionally smooth. Because it was a soul ring condensed by Huo Yuhao, there were no resentful spirits of soul beasts within the soul ring, so Su Shan'er absorbed it with exceptional ease.

After absorbing a second soul ring of nearly six thousand years, Su Shan'er's soul power jumped to level twenty-six. Huo Yuhao directly had her continue treading water to train the little girl's control over her soul power and solidify her foundation.

Circulating her soul power under her feet, Su Shan'er once again walked step by step, cautiously, into the lake. One step, no falling into the water; two steps, still no falling into the water.

Huo Yuhao quietly watched her. It wasn't that he couldn't see the mistakes of his disciple, but he hoped that Su Shan'er could discover them herself. What was the difference between a person who acted solely according to the requirements of others and a puppet?

Huo Yuhao hoped that Su Shan'er could walk her own path. At most, he could only be a guide in the early stages.

At this moment, an invisible energy swept across the entire continent, and many powerhouses felt the unusual.

Splash!

Su Shan'er fell into the water again.

Huo Yuhao didn't pay attention to her but looked up at the sky. Calculating the time, it had been seven months since the last God Rank Martial Soul Ranking.

“The Innovation Rank will now be announced, starting with the tenth place.”

A vast voice resounded throughout the heavens, entering everyone's ears. At the same time, the God Rank once again released a sacred golden light.

At this moment, everyone on the continent walked out of their residences and looked up at the God Rank.

Innovation Rank, people didn't know the selection requirements of this ranking. The God Rank was also very aloof, always speaking in a few words, regardless of whether people could understand. Anyway, I said it, whether you can understand it is your business.

“Innovation Rank, tenth place: Long Tu, fifty-seven years old, Martial Soul: Ice Flood Dragon, Soul Power Level: Ninety-three, Innovation Basis: Ninth-level Soul Guidance Device, Conferring God Platform.”

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow. Conferring God Platform, wasn't that the thing that sealed Xue Di in the original work?

Also, this time the God Rank had a new term, Innovation Basis. Just from the literal meaning, you could tell that this was the basis for climbing the God Rank.

Innovation, innovation, the emphasis was on creating something new. In this way, those homebody creatures who only knew how to bury themselves in hard cultivation were probably going to fail this time, Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

Similarly, the higher-ups of the Sea God Pavilion in Shrek also thought of this. Mu En and Xuan Zi all had ugly faces. This time, the God Rank was probably a benefit for soul engineers, and the Sun Moon Empire was probably overjoyed, but Shrek Soul Guidance, the less said the better.

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, in the imperial palace, Emperor Xu Jiawei's lips curled up. Ninth-level soul engineer, people thought that this Long Tu must be a person from the Sun Moon Empire. This idea was both right and wrong.

It was true that Long Tu was from the Sun Moon Empire, but he had already defected to the Star Luo Imperial Family more than ten years ago.

“Reward: Soul ring age increased by eighty thousand years, specific age can be allocated independently.”

Huo Yuhao was stunned. This time the reward was a bit perfunctory, at least compared to the rewards of the previous two God Ranks.

After carefully thinking about it, Huo Yuhao guessed that this might be related to Long Tu's age, and soul engineers, on the continent, especially in the Sun Moon Empire, were not that rare, and this was only the reward for tenth place.

Star Luo Empire, the imperial family's enshrined Long Tu looked at the golden light floating towards him and excitedly wanted to dance. The soul ring's age increased by eighty thousand years, and he could allocate it independently, so couldn't he imitate Sword Douluo and split the age?

His soul rings were not as good as Sword Douluo's, but with the increase of eighty thousand years, the eighth and ninth soul rings could also be upgraded to one hundred thousand years. By then, he would also be a Titled Douluo with two hundred thousand year soul rings, and with the blessing of two hundred thousand year soul rings, he could cultivate to Super Douluo at least.

As he thought, after a quarter of an hour, the eighth and ninth soul rings on Long Tu's body all turned blood red, and the seventh soul ring was incomparably dark. Although it didn't reach one hundred thousand years, it still increased by nearly thirty thousand years.

Also at this time, boom, there seemed to be a muffled sound, and Long Tu's cultivation broke through level ninety-four under the push of two hundred thousand year soul rings.

“Hahaha, finally, I finally broke through, hahaha.”

Long Tu laughed maniacally. This was a goal he had worked hard for several years but had not achieved, how could he not be happy now that he had achieved it.
