Twin Martial Souls: Huo Yuhao
After Qiangu Dongfeng uttered those words, the expressions of those in the Qiangu Faction who had previously harbored many grievances against him finally softened somewhat.
Regardless, the fact that he was willing to say those words at this moment shows he still has some sense of responsibility.
However, Qiangu Dongfeng said this naturally for the sake of the future of the Qiangu Clan.
Leng Yaozhu's gaze turned slightly cold as she looked at Qiangu Dongfeng and said, "As a top power on the continent, if the Spirit Pagoda acts ruthlessly and only thinks of itself, it will eventually become the enemy of the continent, and its demise is not an exaggeration. So you don't need to claim that you are acting for the Spirit Pagoda."
"As for whether there are others secretly in contact with the Holy Spirit Cult, that matter will naturally be investigated."
"We will neither wrong anyone nor let anyone go unpunished."
Upon hearing this, Qiangu Dongfeng simply nodded silently and said nothing more.
He trusted Leng Yaozhu's character, and this promise was enough.
Leng Yaozhu withdrew her gaze and continued in a calm tone, "Now we should discuss the selection of a new Tower Master for the Spirit Pagoda."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze returned to Leng Yaozhu.
Now that the Qiangu Dongfeng has fallen, Leng Yaozhu, the former Vice Tower Master, is more than capable of directly succeeding to the position of Tower Master, both in terms of cultivation strength and prestige within the Spirit Pagoda.
However, what Leng Yaozhu said next stunned everyone.
"I propose that Huo Yuhao become the next Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda."
After he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent for a few seconds.
Some people opened their mouths, some subconsciously exchanged glances, and others looked down at the table as if digesting the weight of those words.
Immediately, a murmur began to spread through the conference room, clearly indicating that everyone was discussing the proposal.
When Leng Yaozhu suggested that Huo Yuhao become the next Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, everyone was initially shocked, but upon reflection, they found it to be quite reasonable.
After all, Huo Yuhao is Leng Yaozhu's disciple, and his contributions to the Spirit Pagoda over the years are evident to all.
However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out in the conference hall. "If Vice Tower Master Leng wants to succeed as Tower Master, I have no objection, but Huo Yuhao..."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and it was Qiangu Dieting who spoke.
His deep eyes looked at Huo Yuhao, who was sitting at a distance from the round table, and he said in a calm and unhurried tone, "He's too young."
This wasn't because Qiangu Dieting had any prejudice against Huo Yuhao, but because he was considering things from a longer-term perspective.
If Huo Yuhao were to succeed as the Tower Master, and the news were to be made public, those outside who were unaware of the inside story would inevitably assume that Qiangu Dongfeng had been ousted by a young man, which would ultimately be a loss of face for the Qiangu Clan.
Huo Yuhao, the person involved, stood up at this moment. His movements were calm and natural, without the slightest panic after being questioned.
He glanced around at everyone in the conference room, finally fixing his gaze on Qiangu Dieting, and said calmly, "Age has never meant anything. Ambition knows no age. I am confident that I can lead the Spirit Pagoda to a better future."
These words were spoken neither servile nor arrogant, neither aggressive nor yielding in the slightest.
The Inheritance Soul Spirit Technology developed by Huo Yuhao is indeed crucial to the development of the Spirit Pagoda.
In the field of Spirit Soul research, he claimed he could lead the Spirit Pagoda to greater heights, and no one could refute that.
However, research ability alone is clearly not enough to become the Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda.
At this moment Fist Emperor Douluo Da Mo, the King of Fighters, spoke up and said, "Huo Yuhao's strength is still a bit lacking. If he wants to become the Tower Master, he'll have to wait another ten years or so."
Qiangu Dieting stepped forward, which slightly boosted the morale of the Qiangu Faction.
The Old Tower Master was Quasi-God level being; in terms of strength, there was no one stronger than him in the entire Spirit Pagoda.
Everyone knows that Huo Yuhao has only recently broken through to the Titled Douluo, and judging from Da Mo's words, he clearly believes that Huo Yuhao will be qualified to reach the limit in a dozen years.
Such a cultivation speed is already considered fast among Titled Douluo, which clearly shows that Da Mo also recognizes Huo Yuhao's talent.
Immediately, the members of the Qiangu Faction echoed their agreement.
However, they did not recommend any of their own people to compete for the position of Tower Master; some even directly suggested that Leng Yaozhu take over as Tower Master.
After all, in their view, although Huo Yuhao was exceptionally talented and made great contributions to the Spirit Pagoda, his lack of cultivation was his only major flaw, which was not enough to convince everyone.
After a moment, the murmurs in the conference room subsided, and Leng Yaozhu's voice rang out again. "In the end, it's still because you all think Yuhao isn't strong enough."
She glanced around, taking in the expressions on everyone's faces, then a smile appeared on her lips, "However, if it's just because of strength, we won't have to wait more than ten years, Yuhao!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate, and a powerful surge of Soul Power suddenly erupted from his body.
The aura belonging to Titled Douluo spread throughout the conference hall like a giant beast that had been unleashed.
Moreover, this momentum is continuously rising, climbing higher and higher, like a sharp sword being drawn from its sheath inch by inch.
In the blink of an eye, everyone felt that Huo Yuhao's aura had firmly stepped into the level of Super Douluo.
Many people's eyes were instantly filled with surprise. After all, he had only recently broken through to the Titled Douluo. How could he have crossed that threshold, which usually takes more than ten or even several decades, so quickly?
However, the surge in power had not yet ended. In the conference hall, many veteran Titled Douluo of the Spirit Pagoda felt a faint sense of unease; this power had already surpassed theirs.
Qiangu Dieting's expression changed slightly, because he sensed that the intensity of Huo Yuhao's aura had eventually approached the level of him, a Quasi-God.
He hadn't even seen through Huo Yuhao's true cultivation level before. How could this young man's cultivation speed be so fast?
Seeing the utterly shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Leng Yaozhu said, "Yuhao has had some fortuitous encounters, and his cultivation has broken through quite quickly recently. He's already a Level 98 Super Douluo."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
This isn't just a little fast, it's way too fast!
Level 98, just one step away from becoming Limit Douluo.
Before everyone had fully recovered from the shock, Leng Yaozhu's voice rang out again. "As you all know, Yuhao's martial soul, like that of Spirit Ice Douluo, the Founder of the Spirit Pagoda, is also the Spirit Eyes."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gazes fell on Huo Yuhao in unison, and the image of the legendary Spirit Ice Douluo involuntarily surfaced in their minds—a being who ultimately became a god!
Leng Yaozhu clearly hadn't finished speaking, and continued, "But there's something else you all don't know: Yuhao's martial soul isn't limited to just one Spirit Eyes."
As she finished speaking, the powerful spiritual fluctuations emanating from Huo Yuhao slowly subsided.
Instead, an extremely cold aura silently emanated from his body, like an iceberg that had been dormant for thousands of years slowly emerging from the water.
His hands were instantly covered with a layer of hexagonal emerald green ice crystals, crystal clear and gleaming with a cold luster.
Immediately, a beautiful scorpion appeared above his head, its stinger raised high, its entire body emerald green, radiating a chilling aura.
Someone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Ultimate Ice! This is the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul!"
The others naturally recognized him as well, and their gazes toward Huo Yuhao were filled with shock.
The same title as Spirit Ice Douluo, the same Twin Martial Souls as Spirit Ice Douluo —all of this combined is almost beyond the explanation of mere coincidence.
Seeing the complicated expressions on everyone's faces, Leng Yaozhu added at the opportune moment, "There is one more thing that you all are unaware of: Yuhao is the bloodline successor of the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago."
This was the result of Leng Yaozhu and Huo Yuhao's discussion; they did not directly state that Huo Yuhao had traveled from ten thousand years ago.
It's not that we're afraid of revealing our ability to travel through ten thousand years of time, but in this situation, it's best to finish quickly, otherwise explaining it will take quite a while.
Huo Yuhao stood calmly in place, facing the various gazes of the crowd, but his inner emotions were indescribable.
He was playing the role of his own descendant, and as he looked at the shocked and awe-inspiring gazes cast upon him by the words "Spirit Ice Douluo," a subtle sense of disorientation swept through him, which he quickly suppressed.
