Soul Suppressing Douluo: To Become a Limit Douluo, He Ate Pills Until He Threw Up

Back at the dormitory entrance, Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao. Rather than discussing the reason behind the Evil Soul Master attack, she said, "The Execution Department will probably handle this matter."

Setting aside her connection to Di Tian and the others, her teacher was the Dark Phoenix Douluo's Jiejie, so she knew the Execution Department quite well.

Supervision was their primary responsibility, and encircling and eliminating Evil Soul Masters was also one of their duties.

Now that she had been attacked by Evil Soul Masters, whether out of sentiment or reason, the Carefree Douluo would inform the Dark Phoenix Douluo's side.

"Mm."

Huo Yuhao nodded. Like Gu Yuena, he tacitly skipped over the Evil Soul Master attack. Hua Yichen would handle that matter properly.

After pondering for a while, he asked, "I don't know much about the composition of the Execution Department. Could you tell me about it?"

Regarding the Execution Department, he only knew why it had been established and knew little about the details of its personnel. Hua Yichen would not discuss such things with him for no reason. But based on his understanding of Evil Soul Masters, there could not be many Strong Experts among them.

Tang Ya was proof enough. Before using her Devouring Talent and after using it, the speed at which her strength improved was worlds apart.

Evil Soul Masters were powerful because of the bizarre abilities their Martial Souls granted them. Without using them, unless one had a Martial Soul like Xiaotao's that could still achieve something without becoming an Evil Soul Master, they were not much different from ordinary Soul Masters.

Having gained the right to live under the sun, they had to give up their ability to grow rapidly.

It was a case of gaining something while losing something else.

Moreover, when it came to supervision, the Spirit Pagoda had not monopolized it. It cooperated with the Federation, which also sent people to conduct reviews.

Some children with the potential to become Evil Soul Masters therefore held the Federation in fairly high regard. Many of them entered Federation departments after growing up, so the chances of Strong Experts emerging from the Execution Department were naturally even lower.

But Huo Yuhao considered that a good thing. It showed that the Spirit Pagoda had not been blinded by its strength.

Setting aside its political significance, if they cooperated with the Federation, then if anything went wrong, they could drag the Federation down with them. Why not?

Hearing this, Gu Yuena thought for a moment and said:

"The Spirit Pagoda requires members of the Execution Department to develop as normal Soul Masters, and some leave the Execution Department after their reviews are completed. So far, there are only two Strong Experts above the rank of Title Douluo. The Dark Phoenix Douluo, my teacher's younger sister, is one of them."

"The other's title is... Soul Suppressor. He is also very special within the Execution Department. He is one of the few people permitted by the Spirit Pagoda's upper echelons to use Martial Soul abilities to enhance himself, and one of the Trump Cards hidden by the Spirit Pagoda. Only Vice Tower Masters and above are qualified to know about him. His abilities are related to souls. He must devour soul energy to raise his cultivation, while ordinary cultivation is useless..."

Huo Yuhao's eye twitched. Even though Gu Yuena had not finished, he had already guessed who that person was.

Well, damn. The Spirit Pagoda had become a branch of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The true Holy Spirit Cult was in the Spirit Pagoda?

After Gu Yuena roughly explained the Soul Suppressing Douluo's abilities and traits, Huo Yuhao finally asked, "If I'm not mistaken, he rose through eating Spirit Ascension Pills, right?"

"That's right. Or rather, Spirit Ascension Pills only appeared because of him." As Gu Yuena spoke, her expression turned strange as well. "He was the first person to become a Limit Douluo by eating pills, and also the strongest Commoner Soul Master the Spirit Pagoda has discovered in nearly a hundred years."

He could only raise his cultivation by devouring souls. In the eyes of other factions, a Soul Master like that could only be killed as an Evil Soul Master. But the Spirit Pagoda was different. They had even created Artificial Soul Spirits!

Of course, the Spirit Pagoda was not feeding Soul Spirits to the Soul Suppressing Douluo. It merely fed him the energy used to create Soul Spirits, since what he absorbed was only the energy within souls.

Spirit Ascension Pills had been developed for that reason. The Spiritual Energy within them was the energy used to create Artificial Soul Spirits, which was why they could raise a Soul Spirit's cultivation.

"According to the Soul Suppressing Douluo himself, he ate so many pills to become a Limit Douluo that he threw up," Gu Yuena continued.

Huo Yuhao and the Soul Beasts in the Sea of Consciousness: "..."

Becoming a Limit Douluo by eating pills... The Soul Engineers from Ten Thousand Years Ago would be drooling with envy, yet he was still dissatisfied?

Was that even something a person would say?

"But the price was also enormous. In that era, most of the Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Ascension Platform was used to make Spirit Ascension Pills. Only a very small number of slots were allocated to other factions, causing quite a few disputes. It took decades to recover.

"In a sense, he was cultivated with resources capable of raising dozens of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Spirits."

Of course, compared to a bizarrely capable Limit Douluo who could serve as a Trump Card, none of that mattered much.

Thinking this, Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao. "The Spirit Pagoda values him for more than just his strength. He can produce Soul Rings on his own. Whenever he absorbs enough Spiritual Energy, his Martial Soul condenses a Soul Ring for him. If he did not need some Soul Spirits to keep watch over him, all nine of his Soul Rings would have been generated by himself. He has tremendous research value."

Huo Yuhao secretly nodded.

A Soul Master who could produce Soul Rings on his own was not much different from a Soul Beast Transformation. Among the Soul Masters of this era, this former leader of the Holy Spirit Cult's Four Heavenly Kings was also someone who interested him greatly.

If he had the chance, he wanted to study the other man's abilities as well, and incidentally ask whether becoming a Limit Douluo by eating pills had actually felt good!

Meanwhile, Ice Empress in the Sea of Consciousness was speechless.

Her old idea had come true. There really was a human who could produce Soul Rings on his own...

Looking at the silent Huo Yuhao before her, Gu Yuena suddenly asked:

"Now, there are Soul Beasts among the Tower Masters of the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars and the members of the Federal Parliament. The number of Evil Soul Masters has likewise begun to decline because of the Soul Spirit Contract, as can be seen from the Execution Department. The Spirit Pagoda has fulfilled its original promise and gone even further. Are you satisfied with this?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Whether one is satisfied should be answered by the people and Soul Beasts living in this era. I only returned recently, so I am not qualified to speak for the Spirit Pagoda. You should ask yourself that question."

"..."

Gu Yuena's bright black eyes gazed into Huo Yuhao's. After a moment of silence, she smiled radiantly. "I do not dislike this era, but I hope it can become even better."

Huo Yuhao chuckled and turned toward the forging room. "The prerequisite for making things better is participating in the process yourself, right? Are you going to try the new forging method?"

"Mm, yes." Gu Yuena followed with light steps.

The prerequisite for making things better was, of course, joining in herself.

She, the Silver Dragon King, did not want to win without lifting a finger!

The first floor of this dormitory had rooms dedicated to various sub-professions. The two arrived at a forging room, where Huo Yuhao took out several pieces of rare metal.

"You can first try using the Power of Elements to remove impurities from the metal. I understand the basics of purification and can give you some guidance."

Gu Yuena nodded and accepted a piece of metal. Without using the forging platform, she directly sent it into the air with the Wind Element. At the same time, lights of various elements began flowing around her body, dazzling and multicolored, as though the Power of Elements between heaven and earth were answering her summons.

Compared to when she had fought earlier, her aura was unprecedentedly powerful now.

Watching this scene, Huo Yuhao recalled his previous impression of Gu Yuena and suddenly thought of six words.

Word Spirit: Heaven and Earth as the Furnace?

"Your Excellency, are you really Teacher Xiami?"
