Douluo: Founding the Heavenly Court from the Holy Spirit Cult

"Your spiritual power has improved once again. At this rate, it won't be long before you can undo the seal on that Evil Eye and gain complete control."

Seeing that his cover was blown, Ye Xishui revealed her figure, feeling somewhat surprised by her disciple's growth.

The Evil Emperor's Evil Eye Soul Bone was incredibly powerful and possessed a spiritual attribute, making it extremely dangerous. That was why she had sealed its core essence back then, leaving only the vast spiritual energy behind to facilitate refining and absorption.

She just hadn't expected this disciple to improve so rapidly.

"Greetings, Supreme Sect Leader!"

Wan Hun, who had been following behind, hurriedly knelt to pay his respects.

"Teacher, why have you come to Ming Capital?"

Yang Hao brought up the matter at hand, truly not expecting her to show up here.

"I was feeling stifled staying there, so I came out to clear my head."

Ye Xishui replied casually, though in truth, she was worried that her disciple might be in danger; after all, this was Ming Capital.

Moreover, he had been assassinated by Mu En's people at the main altar last time, and she could not allow such a thing to happen again, nor did she wish to lose this disciple.

"How have you been getting along at the academy during this time?"

Asking about her disciple's situation at the academy, Ye Xishui was very curious.

"It's been very fulfilling. The Imperial Academy is truly worthy of being the Sun Moon Empire's top soul master academy, especially Mingde Hall, which possesses the latest knowledge on soul tools."

Yang Hao was very satisfied with his learning progress during this period and had benefited immensely; he even had some excellent ideas regarding the development of Soul Armor and the Chaos Eight Wings, as well as the fusion of rare metals.

"Mingde Hall does indeed have some capability."

Ye Xishui affirmed Mingde Hall, as it had always led the direction of the soul tool system; even the initial concept of the Life Soul Tool had originated there.

"Why did you bring that girl back?"

When she asked about that girl from the Tang Sect, she had been keeping an eye on her, and she had also seen the maneuvers her disciple had pulled, which had left even her speechless.

"Teacher, do you still remember the Plane Life Core recorded in the inherited knowledge of those two?"

Yang Hao glanced at the kneeling Wan Hun and communicated with his teacher secretly using his spiritual power; this matter was not meant for outsiders to know.

"You want to turn that girl into a Plane Life Core?"

"That is impossible. Even a god could not achieve such a feat."

Ye Xishui was stunned, eventually shaking her head in rejection.

A Plane Life Core was not something that could be shaped so easily.

"Teacher, you should know that Shrek Academy has a Golden Ancient Tree. It is said to have been planted by the Sea God Tang San before he ascended to the God Realm, and his mother was a Blue Silver Emperor, whose core attribute happens to be life."

"I don't believe this is a coincidence."

"If the Sea God truly has a plan in this regard, then we must find a way to stop it, or even steal the results."

Voicing these thoughts, Yang Hao knew it would be difficult, which was why he needed his teacher and those two to get involved.

"Shrek's Golden Ancient Tree, you say?"

Her expression grew more solemn. Ye Xishui pondered carefully and found that this possibility did indeed hold merit.

If she were the Sea God, she would certainly find a way to control this world, and shaping a Plane Life Core would be the optimal choice.

As long as a Plane Life Core was created, there would be a chance to become the Plane Master and gain absolute control over this world.

"I need to go back and discuss this matter with those two."

This was a matter that had to be guarded against; if the Sea God were to successfully shape a life core and gain complete control over this world, she and her disciple would likely have no choice but to flee to another world.

"In the future, have less contact with these Evil Soul Masters; don't let them lead you astray."

She gave a final warning and glanced at the kneeling Wan Hun; she did not want her disciple to turn into an insidious and evil soul master.

"Ah?"

The kneeling Wan Hun was completely bewildered. How were they the ones leading the Holy Son astray?

Did the Holy Son even need them to lead him astray?

The Holy Son was sometimes even more evil and shameless than they were, for instance, the series of bottomless threats he had just made toward that young girl.

Besides, you are the King of Evil Soul Masters yourself—is it really appropriate for you to say that?

"This disciple understands. I will keep my distance from them in the future."

Yang Hao acted very obedient and sensible. He was a pure child, after all; if he ever did anything wrong, it must have been because he was led astray by others. After all, the Holy Spirit Cult was full of villains, and staying there was bound to have some influence.

Wan Hun felt a toothache; he felt as if he had been backstabbed by the Holy Son.

"Behave yourself here."

Pinching her disciple's cheek once more, Ye Xishui finally took her leave.

This matter was of great importance; she had to return as soon as possible to awaken those two for consultation and to conduct an investigation.

If the Sea God was truly plotting to create a Plane Life Core, then it had to be stopped, or even usurped.

"Teacher actually has a very kind heart. It's just a pity that there are too many villains in our Holy Spirit Cult, forcing Teacher to become an Evil Soul Master."

Yang Hao sighed with emotion, noting that Teacher was also a pitiful man.

However, hearing these words left Wan Hun completely numb; were the two of you master and disciple actually speaking human language?

So it was all our fault, we are evil and depraved, sinister and vicious, despicable and shameless, while you two are pure and kind, having been poisoned by us.

One could only say that they were truly master and disciple!

Wan Hun gloomily escorted the Holy Son back to the academy, but as soon as Yang Hao returned, he was targeted.

"You are that Luo Feng who was personally taught by my grandfather?"

Xiao Hongchen sized up the burly figure before him; was this guy really the same age as him?

How did he grow so big?

Meng Hongchen was also watching, mostly out of curiosity.

These past few days, their grandfather had praised this person to the heavens in front of them, claiming he not only possessed excellent cultivation aptitude but also rare, ancient-level talent in Soul Tools.

"Are you the Dean's grandchildren? The Dean has mentioned you to me."

Yang Hao understood, realizing these must be the Xiao Hongchen siblings.

"Fight me. Let me see how much weight this 'world-shocking genius' the grandfather talks about actually carries."

Xiao Hongchen issued the challenge, feeling very unconvinced inside.

"Fighting is no problem, but it can't be for nothing."

Yang Hao did not refuse, but there had to be a wager.

Since the other party had delivered themselves to his doorstep, he naturally couldn't let the opportunity pass.

"What do you want?"

Xiao Hongchen didn't care, possessing absolute confidence in his own strength.

"Whoever loses acknowledges the other as their boss."

Yang Hao also wanted to imitate that cosmic bully from Swallowed Star and try being a boss.

"Whatever, you're going to lose anyway."

Xiao Hongchen had absolute confidence in himself; among his peers, he was definitely the strongest.

"Then come on!"

Yang Hao beckoned, signaling him to make a move.

"Right here?"

Looking around, Xiao Hongchen felt they should go to a testing ground so he could let loose and use his newly crafted Soul Tool cannon.

"Don't worry, I'll be quick."

Yang Hao likewise had absolute confidence in his own strength.

"You asked for this."

With a cold snort, Xiao Hongchen activated Martial Soul Possession and simultaneously pulled out his newly crafted Soul Tool cannon.

But before he could even channel his soul power, a golden war sword flew toward him. Xiao Hongchen dodged to the side, but the sword acted as if it were alive, spinning around and slamming hard against his head. His brain rattled, and he passed out cleanly and efficiently.

"As expected of the Dean's grandson, he has real strength."

Yang Hao acknowledged Xiao Hongchen's strength, as he had actually forced him to use his Metal Control skill.

Not bad at all!

His Metal Control had limitations; he could only control items that had been permeated with his soul power, and there was a range limit. It would be perfect if he could evolve it into a domain.

Beside him, Meng Hongchen blinked her bright eyes, her mind buzzing.

Big brother... lost?

Was it really that fast?

"When he wakes up, tell him to come over and be my underling."

Glancing at the bewildered girl and leaving that instruction, Yang Hao walked away quickly, preparing to head to the library to grind through more books.

Chapter 60: Prototype of a Domain

"Junior, you're here to read again?"

Ju Zi, who was studying in the library, saw the familiar figure and remained shocked by this junior's learning ability.

His learning progress was simply too fast, to the point where he was already about to surpass her.

"Mm."

Carrying a large stack of books, he sat down opposite Ju Zi, nodded politely, and took out a Milk Bottle to hand over, which contained the Xu Tianran soul power he had purified last night.

Ju Zi also took out a Milk Bottle and handed it over, containing the soul power the Crown Prince had injected yesterday, and the two made the exchange.

Putting away the Milk Bottle, Yang Hao lowered his voice to ask.
