Longevity Pill

Lei Yao did not release his Martial Soul. As his Soul Power surged, thick streams of Thunder Power spread around his body, crackling loudly as if challenging the Advanced Puppet.

The Advanced Puppet refused to be outdone, and a glint flashed through its mechanical eyes.

A faint blue glow instantly appeared over its metal armor, a sign that it had activated its defensive mechanism.

The Puppet's figure flashed as it charged toward Lei Yao like a bolt of black lightning, moving so fast that there was barely time to react.

Lei Yao remained calm. He slightly shifted his body and easily evaded the Puppet's attack.

At the same time, he extended his right hand, gathering a dazzling sphere of lightning in his palm before violently hurling it at the Puppet.

Boom!

The lightning sphere struck the Puppet with tremendous force, producing a muffled explosion.

However, the Puppet merely staggered back several steps. The blue light over its body flickered a few times before returning to normal.

It seemed not to have suffered much damage.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Immediately afterward, the Advanced Puppet launched an even fiercer assault.

Its hands moved rapidly, sending sharp metallic fist shadows howling toward Lei Yao. Every punch carried the force to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Lei Yao did not dare let his guard down. He used every skill at his disposal, dodging the Puppet's attacks while searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

For a time, the two exchanged blows back and forth, and the battle reached a fever pitch.

After several minutes of intense combat,

Jiang Li quickly spoke up to stop them, bringing the fight to an end.

Looking at the calm and composed Lei Yao and the Advanced Puppet, whose body was slightly damaged but whose momentum remained undiminished, Jiang Li formed an initial assessment of the Puppet's strength.

"How is it? What level is this Advanced Puppet at?"

Jiang Li asked curiously.

Lei Yao lowered his head in thought. After considering it for a while, he slowly said, "Based on that battle, this Puppet should be comparable to a Titled Douluo of around Rank 95. Since it is forged from metal, its defense is extremely powerful. Ordinary attacks cannot inflict any substantial damage on it at all."

"Moreover, its offensive power is also incredibly sharp. Its moves are simple yet effective, and it has a great chance of defeating Rank 96 Titled Douluo Experts or relatively weak Rank 97 Titled Douluo Experts."

Hearing Lei Yao's analysis, Jiang Li could not help drawing a sharp breath.

"So strong!"

He murmured to himself, both shocked and delighted.

He was shocked that this Advanced Puppet was so terrifyingly powerful, and delighted that he now had another formidable trump card in his hands.

According to the information sent by the system, Puppets were mainly divided into five grades: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Top-Tier, and Divine Level.

Now that an Advanced Puppet already possessed the cultivation of a Rank 97 Titled Douluo, wouldn't a Top-Tier Puppet possess the strength of a Limit Douluo?

A Divine Puppet would surely possess true God-level Combat Power!

At that thought, Jiang Li's breathing quickened.

He knew that the odds of drawing a Divine Puppet from the system were infinitesimal, but that did not stop him from looking forward to the future.

Afterward, Jiang Li continued examining the remaining items, learning their detailed information.

Longevity Pill Recipe: Extends one's lifespan by one year upon consumption. A Soul Master may consume only five in their lifetime.

Thunder Body-Forging Pill Recipe: Refined from rare medicinal herbs. After consumption, it produces a large amount of Thunder Power within the body, tempering the physique.

Although this series of precious items was not as surprising as the previous ones, their value could not be ignored.

The Longevity Pill Recipe in particular was an irresistible temptation to any Soul Master whose lifespan was nearing its end.

In this world where the strong were revered, one extra year of life meant one more chance to improve one's strength.

Finally, Jiang Li carefully put away everything he had drawn and stored it in the System Space.

He sat before his desk and began seriously considering how to prepare for the auction one month later.

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, Mu En, Xuan Zi, and the others successfully returned from the auction venue.

Mu En tightly held a spherical crystal emitting scorching light. It was the Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit auctioned by the Starry Sky Auction House—Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon.

As soon as he returned to the academy, Mu En wasted no time. He immediately summoned every member of the Sea God Pavilion and convened an emergency meeting.

As Shrek Academy's core decision-making body, the Sea God Pavilion's members were all top experts of the Douluo Continent.

At this moment, they had gathered together, and the atmosphere was solemn and oppressive.

Mu En stood at the head of the conference table and gently placed the Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit—Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon—onto the table.

"This is the Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit, Blazing Emperor Heavenly Dragon, auctioned by the Starry Sky Auction House. After Xuan Zi and I examined it, we confirmed that it is indeed a genuine Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit."

"Furthermore, the Starry Sky Auction House has already told us the specific method for attaching a Martial Soul to a Soul Master."

Mu En's voice was low and forceful, echoing throughout the Sea God Pavilion.

Everyone's eyes focused on the Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit, their gazes filled with shock.

An Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit was an exceedingly rare Top-Tier Martial Spirit on the Douluo Continent. Possessing it meant possessing limitless potential and tremendous strength.

"The reason I convened this Sea God Pavilion Meeting is to decide who should absorb this Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit."

Mu En continued, his tone becoming even heavier.

His gaze slowly swept across everyone present, and each of them felt the pressure contained within it.

This decision concerned Shrek Academy's future and the entire Douluo Continent's landscape. There could not be the slightest mistake.

"We should choose from among the official and Reserve Shrek Seven Devils. Why not let Huo Yuhao absorb it?"

"He already possesses the Ultimate Ice Martial Spirit. If he obtains the Ultimate Fire Martial Spirit as well, ice and fire will share the same origin. To a certain extent, his strength could undergo a qualitative leap, and his future achievements would be limitless."

Xian Lin'er, seated nearby, was the first to offer her opinion.

She was one of the Sea God Pavilion's important members. With her discerning eye, she had a deep understanding of the academy's many talented students.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Old Zhuang objected.

"But Huo Yuhao is already the possessor of Twin Martial Souls. If we attach another Martial Soul to him, could it cause the Martial Souls within his body to reject one another and lead to irreversible consequences?"

Triple Martial Souls had never appeared in the history of the Douluo Continent.

No one knew what risks would arise from rashly attaching another Martial Soul.

After hearing Old Zhuang's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

Indeed, Martial Soul fusion was an extremely dangerous matter. The slightest misstep could cause a Soul Master to explode and die.

As Shrek Academy's foremost genius, Huo Yuhao had limitless possibilities ahead of him. They truly did not dare take such a risk lightly.
