Target Ma Hongjun?! Immortal Herbs In Hand, Reserve Soul Bone?!

With his train of thought fully opened, Huang Yan immediately began to rapidly consider candidates suitable for his possession in his mind.

First, there were strict requirements for possession.

Old geezers whose age was too advanced, whose potential had been squeezed dry, and whose life force was in decay—

Even if they were offered to him for free, he wouldn't want them.

Since he had to possess someone to start his cultivation anew, he had to choose someone young, preferably a top-tier genius blessed with great fortune and extraordinary talent!

In this current era, when it came to the talent and fortune of the younger generation, the first choice was naturally the future "Shrek Seven Devils."

Although Huang Yan scoffed at them.

According to the original work.

All seven of these people would become gods in the future.

They were the best candidates for possession.

Huang Yan went through the names of these seven people in his mind and began to filter them.

"Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong... exclude them immediately."

Huang Yan shook his head.

These three were all female; he was a dignified man, and he had no special hobby of turning into a woman.

What's more, the martial soul origins of the Soft Bone Rabbit, Hell Spirit Cat, and Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Had absolutely nothing to do with his Bright Phoenix; forcing a fusion would bring more harm than good.

Yes, 'more harm than good'.

That left only Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and Oscar.

"Dai Mubai and Oscar are not suitable either."

After weighing his options slightly, Huang Yan eliminated the two of them once more.

Dai Mubai's Evil Eye White Tiger martial soul was incompatible with his attributes.

As for Oscar, although his talent was extremely high and he possessed the rare Innate Full Soul Power, the limitations of a food-system soul master were simply too great.

Not to mention the lack of self-preservation ability in the early stages, his combat style was also too stifling, completely inconsistent with the domineering, wide-open style of his Bright Phoenix.

In the end, only Tang San and Ma Hongjun remained.

To be honest, for a fleeting moment, Huang Yan was extremely eager to possess Tang San.

After all, Tang San was the undisputed "Child of Fortune" of this era, possessing Twin Martial Souls and Innate Full Soul Power.

And most crucially, the current Tang San was, in essence, a possessor from the Tang Sect of another world!

Since Tang San could occupy the magpie's nest and possess this body, why couldn't he possess him once more?

But reason soon overcame impulse, and Huang Yan took a deep breath, forcibly extinguishing this tempting idea.

The risks of possessing Tang San were simply too great, primarily due to two fatal hidden dangers.

First, Tang San was accompanied by an all-weather "super bodyguard."

Tang Hao!

Tang Hao was now a bona fide Titled Douluo, hiding in the shadows and peeking all day long.

Once he made a move on Tang San, the aura of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would inevitably leak out the moment possession began.

By the time he finished merging his spirit and flesh.

He feared that Tang Hao's massive Clear Sky Hammer would have already smashed onto his forehead; it would definitely be a dead end.

Second, it stemmed from the "conspiracy theories" online that Huang Yan had seen when reading Douluo Continent in his past life.

How could Tang San bring his memories, cultivation techniques, and even hidden weapon blueprints from his past life to the Douluo Continent without missing a single word?

Behind this, there was a high probability that gods from the God Realm (such as Asura) were secretly planning and manipulating things!

If Tang San was truly a pawn chosen by the big shots of the God Realm.

For him, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, to rashly move against him would be no different from pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth; he wouldn't even know how he died.

After comprehensive consideration, Huang Yan's gaze finally locked firmly onto one person.

"Ma Hongjun!"

Although in the original work, Ma Hongjun became a "lecher" who vented his fire everywhere due to the defects of his martial soul mutation.

His personality was somewhat sleazy, and his martial soul was the "Evil Fire Phoenix" tainted with impurities.

But to Huang Yan, this was not a problem at all!

"Isn't it just a bit of evil fire impurity brought about by mutation?"

A haughty sneer curled the corners of Huang Yan's mouth.

"I am a Bright Phoenix possessing the dual attributes of pure Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire!"

That bit of so-called evil fire, in the face of his ultimate light and sacred flames...

It was as if the sludge of a sewer had encountered a blinding, scorching sun.

In an instant, it could be thoroughly purified and burned to nothingness!

Moreover, Huang Yan possessed absolute confidence.

As long as he successfully performed the soul possession on Ma Hongjun, under the powerful fusion and baptism of his own Hundred-Thousand-Year Bright Phoenix origin.

The mottled and unbearable Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul within Ma Hongjun's body would absolutely undergo a transformative, ultimate evolution.

It would directly metamorphose into a true super martial soul: the Bright Phoenix!

"Since that is the case, the target is set."

Huang Yan raised his head.

His brilliant golden eyes gazed toward the direction of Suotuo City, where Shrek Academy was located.

His eyes flashed with the sharpness of someone determined to succeed.

"Ma Hongjun, I will take your body!"

Before going to possess Ma Hongjun, Huang Yan still had to make some preparations.

Since he had decided to abandon this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast body and reincarnate as a human.

He had to pave the most perfect path for his recultivation.

And the immortal herbs growing everywhere within this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, as well as the entire Sunset Forest.

Would be the excellent resources for his rapid rise after possessing Ma Hongjun!

Huang Yan's gaze swept over the plants emitting strange halos around the spring:

Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum...

"These immortal herbs that seize the fortune of heaven and earth are priceless treasures for reshaping my foundation and improving my martial soul quality in the future.

Naturally, I cannot let a single one go!"

Huang Yan's thoughts stirred.

His soul power poured out, carefully sealing these immortal herbs along with the soil around their roots.

He stored them into the storage Soul Tool he had previously found in the ruins.

Besides these immortal herbs, what Huang Yan had his eyes on were the vast soul beast resources of the Sunset Forest!

Over these past thousand years, Huang Yan had not been hiding away in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well the entire time.

As a top-tier avian with dual ultimate attributes, he would occasionally fly out of the poisonous miasma.

He would go deep into the Sunset Forest to hunt some high-level soul beasts that didn't know any better, just to satisfy his appetite.

Accumulated over a thousand years, Huang Yan had actually saved up several pieces of quite high-quality soul bones.

The most precious among them was a Medusa Head Soul Bone with a limit as high as seventy thousand years!

In addition, there were four other soul bones from different parts of the body, with ages ranging from twenty thousand to fifty thousand years.

If these items were placed in the human world outside, they would absolutely trigger a bloody battle among Title Douluo-level powerhouses.

But in Huang Yan's eyes, they were somewhat lacking.

"Although Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones are precious, for me, aiming for the supreme god throne, they are still too trashy."

Huang Yan sneered.

To ensure that his foundation for becoming a god in the future was flawless, the path Huang Yan arranged for himself was extremely harsh:

The soul bones absorbed by his future human body had to be at least one hundred thousand years old!

As for these five Ten Thousand Year level soul bones, Huang Yan naturally had a great use for them.

He was very clear that on the road to his future rise, fighting alone would not be enough.

It would be inevitable to build his own team, subdue underlings, and perhaps even have women of his own.
