Chapter 4: The Country Beasts from the Outer Continent Are Here to Deliver Equipment Again
Donghai City, the Spirit Pagoda.
In the Douluo Federation, Donghai City is one of the major cities. The Spirit Pagoda branch here is also known as one of the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars and is a landmark building of Donghai City.
An office on the top floor of this tower.
"You're Huo Yuhao?"
A refined middle-aged man sat at the table, looking at the little boy who had been brought before him. A hint of envy flashed in his eyes. At his age, he was not as sought after as this kid. When the news was reported, so many important figures wanted to take him as their apprentice.
Shaking off his chaotic emotions, the man revealed a kind smile. "I am Sikong Hong, the tower master of the East China Sea branch of the Spirit Pagoda."
"May I ask what business the Tower Master has with me?"
The boy standing in front of him said calmly.
"I've seen your file. You were born with full soul power, your main spirit is the Spirit Eye, your physique is comparable to a Soul Master, and your mental power is at the mid-stage of the Spirit Connection Realm... You're only six years old! Such talent is the most dazzling even in a place like Mingdu."
"To be honest, I couldn't help but suspect that you were a transformed version of the Evil Sleep Tyrant. Look at your origins as an orphan, and this absurd strength. But don't worry, even if you were a transformed soul beast, no one would dare to attack you... probably?"
In the end, he seemed somewhat insecure.
Although the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters has become inseparable, and many soul master families even have soul beast blood flowing in their veins.
However, there will always be some people who are blinded by self-interest.
They claim that evil spirit beasts illegally entered the human world with malicious intent and must be punished.
According to Sikong Hong, the option of transforming and rebuilding has long been abandoned by soul beasts. It is a thankless task, and some people might even label them as evil soul beasts and turn them into warm 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones.
So he was just saying it; he didn't actually acknowledge that Huo Yuhao was the embodiment of the Evil Eye.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast that fails to survive the Heavenly Tribulation can become a Soul Spirit. Any family would treat a 100,000-year-old Soul Spirit as an ancestor, as this guarantees at least a Title Douluo-level combat power capable of protecting the family for eternity. Those with nobler bloodlines would directly become Limit Douluo ancestors. But what about human Limit Douluos? No matter how long they live, they only live for a few hundred years.
Furthermore, some 100,000-year-old soul beasts may still have bloodlines in the human world. If they become soul spirits, they are true ancestors, so how could their treatment be bad?
He took human form simply out of curiosity about the human world...
The assessment is that they are inferior soul beasts from another continent, country bumpkins who have never experienced a good life and think that Douluo Continent is the same as theirs.
"Tower Master, what kind of guarantee is that? But I am indeed not a soul beast in human form, so please rest assured." Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly. Sikong Hong's purpose was definitely to recruit him, there was no doubt about that. An orphan without parents possessing such talent would be desirable to anyone.
The reason he didn't come immediately was probably because he was observing. In the days since awakening his martial soul, he had sensed the spiritual power of a Title Douluo level more than once.
It must be this Sikong Hong. To be able to sit in the position of the master of the Eighteen Heavenly Pillar Tower, he must have at least the combat power of a Super Douluo, and his spiritual power must have reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm.
He could understand Sikong Hong's probing and concerns; after all, a genius like him was too hot to handle.
The boy seemed unafraid of him, bantering back and forth, which made Sikong Hong smile. "Haha, you little rascal, alright, you don't need to stand, sit down."
Huo Yuhao didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down on the sofa, looked at Sikong Hong, and waited for him to continue.
"Child, would you like to join our Spirit Pagoda? The Spirit Pagoda is one of the top forces in the Douluo Continent. I wouldn't dare say that you'll only achieve your best development by joining us. After all, with your talent, you'd receive the best training in any force!"
Sikong Hong spoke in an approachable tone, saying that for a genius like this, being ordinary would be completely ineffective through intimidation or anything like that, and might even cause the genius to drift in a different direction.
We can't just stifle geniuses here, can we?
He also knew that empty promises wouldn't work on this boy. At his age, he possessed the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm, and being an orphan, his temperament was bound to be somewhat mature. Only tangible benefits could sway him.
This is the old trick of the Spirit Pagoda. They never lose money investing in any genius; the real benefits are in your hands. Even if you don't join the Spirit Pagoda, they will still invest, and you will still have to repay the favor later.
Sikong Hong continued, "But I can assure you. If you're willing to join, you'll receive the best training and treatment. Not only will you receive a soul spirit, but you'll also receive soul bones and battle armor. At the same time, I will do my best to find you a Title Douluo master with a true martial soul."
In his excitement, Sikong Hong made a solemn promise, regardless of whether a child understood these concepts.
A titled Douluo master whose main martial soul is a martial spirit?
Does the Spirit Pagoda have a physical martial soul? Uh, could it be that the Body Sect declined and was merged into the Spirit Pagoda? No, that doesn't make sense either, because their innate secret techniques and body secret techniques are still complete; they shouldn't be that much less developed.
Could it be that they've collaborated?
Oh, wait, I remember now.
The most powerful brain, Han Tianyi, who has already come into contact with the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm, does indeed have such a person in the Spirit Pagoda in the original timeline. With his spiritual power, and also being a physical martial soul, he is indeed the most suitable teacher for him.
Huo Yuhao remained silent for a long time before saying, "Actually, I would have chosen to join the Spirit Pagoda even without these things, but I would prefer to learn about the history of soul spirits and various theoretical knowledge."
Sikong Hong was stunned. That's it?
Is this all you want? No, kid, you're so talented, is this all you've got?
Even as an outsider, he was worried about Huo Yuhao.
Sure enough, although he looked precocious, he was still a child after all, and he didn't understand what benefits his talent could bring him.
Sikong Hong didn't want to take advantage of a gifted child, so he immediately replied, "Okay! You can stay at the Spirit Pagoda for the next few days. I'll arrange those books for you. As for the Title Douluo teacher I promised you, I'll arrange that as soon as possible. He'll personally register you in the Spirit Pagoda. I'll teach you cultivation for now."
To be fair, he really wanted to take Huo Yuhao as his disciple. However, Douluo Continent values lineage, just like Tang Wulin in the original story. Because Tang Wulin already had Mang Tian as his master, Mu Chen couldn't easily take him as a disciple. He had to pull some strings and wait until Tang Wulin's talent had improved further before finally accepting him as a disciple.
Donghai City is too small. Although it is a first-tier city, it is far inferior to the Mingdu headquarters. His abilities are also limited. Compared to that person, he really can't offer much help in the future.
He now only regrets not stopping the news from being reported, otherwise, once he had consummated the relationship...
He considered it, but he knew it was impossible. This is the age of technology; once data is registered, it goes directly to headquarters and the database. How could it not be detected?
If you don't register, then this kid will be an unregistered Soul Master, labeled as a Star Luo spy and given a few harsh punishments. He'll have to endure the bad treatment, and you'll end up being resented by him.
