Martial Soul Innate Domain

"Spiritual Detection Sharing..."

Luo Yanglu looked at Hua Yichen knowingly and teased, "Were you jealous before?"

"I wasn't." Hua Yichen rolled his eyes.

Luo Yanglu chuckled and shook his head. He did not continue teasing him, instead quietly waiting for Huo Yuhao to finish his enhancement. Then the two entered the room one after the other.

The moment they entered, they saw the purple Soul Ring beside Huo Yuhao.

Even though they had anticipated this, their expressions still changed slightly.

A six-year-old with a first Thousand Year Soul Ring was uncommon even during the Soul Beast Era. In the current Soul Spirit Era, it was even rarer.

After all, major factions did not lack Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures capable of improving one's physique, but those that could enhance Spiritual Power were exceedingly scarce. They could not simply be found whenever one wanted; one could basically only rely on oneself.

Without sufficient Spiritual Power, it was simply impossible to raise a Soul Spirit to the thousand-year level.

Huo Yuhao rose to his feet and moved his body slightly. A series of crisp cracks rang out from his entire body, and he seemed to have grown a little taller.

The Soul Bone had originally belonged to him, so absorbing it again posed no difficulty whatsoever. The increase in Soul Power after absorption was secondary. Combined with the effects of the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber, his physical constitution could now rival that of an ordinary Four Rings Soul Ancestor.

If he later absorbed the Torso Soul Bone and received other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Spirit Pagoda, then before his cultivation recovered to four rings, his body strength would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Soul Emperor. It would be far faster than it had been ten thousand years ago.

At the very least, he no longer had to worry about his physical constitution holding back his Spiritual Power.

When Hua Yichen saw Huo Yuhao look over, he suppressed the excitement on his face and stepped forward to inspect him. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good! You are the first to possess a thousand-year First Soul Spirit at this age."

Huo Yuhao clenched his fist, sensing the power gradually filling his body. As he looked at the delighted Hua Yichen, a flicker passed through his eyes.

Huo Yuhao had noticed Hua Yichen's preferential treatment. Perhaps Hua Yichen regarded it as merely an investment, but one judged deeds rather than intentions. Huo Yuhao would not take it for granted.

And in the eyes of an elder who wished to cultivate a Strong Expert, there was nothing more gratifying than seeing their efforts gradually bear fruit.

Thus, Huo Yuhao raised his head to look at Hua Yichen and smiled. "I am not someone without ambition. If you put me on the rankings, I would never keep such a low profile that I ended up at the bottom. That would be a denial of my own abilities, as well as a denial of those who have given me so many opportunities."

He had kept a low profile for nearly a hundred years ten thousand years ago, hiding away in a corner. This life, he would be a little more high-profile.

Besides, he had only said that he had no ability to protect himself as a Soul Master. He had never said that he lacked the ability to protect himself as a Soul Engineer as well...

Hua Yichen froze for a moment, then smiled at Huo Yuhao's willingness to change.

Young people were meant to be high-spirited. So what if they did not know the immensity of heaven and earth?

They... should have been like this!

"Also, I want to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform and learn combat techniques. Please allow it, Teacher Hua."

Hua Yichen said, "Your First Soul Skill isn't combat-oriented, so there's no need to be in such a rush. First—"

Before Hua Yichen could finish, an intense wave of Spiritual Power spread outward. The air within ten meters distorted, causing even Luo Yanglu, a Soul Emperor, to change expression slightly.

Huo Yuhao had already withdrawn his Soul Ring, and with this range, could this Soul Skill be...

Hua Yichen took a deep breath and gave the answer for him.

"Martial Soul Innate Domain."

Seeing Huo Yuhao use a Soul Skill resembling a domain without his Soul Ring lighting up, Hua Yichen could only think of the words "innate domain."

Domain-type Soul Skills could alter everything within a certain range according to the user's domain. They could be called the pinnacle of control-type Soul Skills, and ten thousand years ago, they had been as rare as ultimate martial souls.

Although Advanced Battle Armor now also carried domains, making them no longer quite so rare, domains could stack. One more domain Soul Skill meant one more enhancement.

Moreover, most martial souls capable of carrying an innate domain were often associated with two words—

Powerful!

For example, the Six-Winged Angel from Twenty Thousand Years Ago came with the Angel Domain, and there was no need to elaborate on the strength of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul.

"A top-tier Body Martial Soul, terrifying Spiritual Power talent, and now an innate domain... How many more surprises are you going to give me?"

Hua Yichen took a deep breath and looked deeply at Huo Yuhao.

Luo Yanglu's gaze also became complicated.

Although it had lasted only an instant, and although he had not resisted, during that time, he could clearly see Huo Yuhao's figure yet could not sense his aura or his restless Soul Power. If Huo Yuhao used this Soul Skill for assassination, he would likely be unstoppable.

"Alright. I'll make arrangements for you."

Hua Yichen said, "But I need to remind you of something. Yuhao, remember this: when someone can pose a threat to you, no matter how close they are to you, you must keep your guard up. You cannot lay all your Trump Cards bare."

Huo Yuhao's expression changed upon hearing this. He looked at Hua Yichen with surprise, then smiled.

"Teacher Hua, if you ever became a teacher, you would definitely raise excellent students."

The three made their way to the first-floor lobby and took the elevator down. It took a full three minutes before it finally stopped.

After leaving the elevator, they found themselves in a spacious hall. More than a dozen Staff Members stood inside, while behind them lay passageways made of metal.

When the Staff Members saw Hua Yichen, they all bowed. "Greetings, Tower Master."

Hua Yichen nodded with a smile. "Just continue with your work. I'll take Yuhao into the Spirit Ascension Platform."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, a Staff Member hesitantly stepped forward and quietly reminded him:

"Tower Master, there are currently Students from Eastsea Academy inside the Spirit Ascension Platform."

As one of Eastsea City's top academies, Eastsea Academy lived up to its name.

When the Spirit Pagoda recruited ordinary staff, it would sometimes hire nearby Soul Masters who had graduated from Eastsea Academy, so the two maintained a fairly good relationship. Eastsea Academy would occasionally pay to send its outstanding disciples into the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Hua Yichen's eyes flickered. "I see. It's fine. Go make the arrangements. Let Yuhao enter the Quarantine Zone."

The Quarantine Zone?

The Staff Member looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise.

He had heard that the Tower Master treated this newly arrived child with exceptional favor. It seemed that the rumors were true.

As the Staff Member headed down a passage to make preparations, Hua Yichen and the other two followed.

Along the way, Luo Yanglu smiled and said, "Yuhao, the Soul Beasts in the Quarantine Zone are nothing like simulated Soul Beasts. They are real Soul Beasts that have lived and fought in places like the Star Dou Great Forest and the Extreme North. They are experienced and powerful. You also can't severely injure them. Are you confident you can handle them?"

Huo Yuhao nodded.

The Spirit Ascension Platform had been created to increase the age of Soul Spirits. Its environment simulated the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Soul Beasts inside were basically created by the Spirit Pagoda. That was what the public believed.

But the Spirit Ascension Platform actually had another area.

The Quarantine Zone.

It was a place only internal Spirit Pagoda personnel could enter, because the Soul Beasts within were real Soul Beasts... or rather, Soul Spirits!
