The Foundation of a Great Sect

"That will be a long time from now."

The age of a spirit ring made no difference to Huo Yuhao.

With the origin of the Sky Dream Iceworm as a foundation, his first spirit soul—his eyes—would start at a minimum of one hundred thousand years.

As for his second spirit soul, the Ancestral Dragon, it would absolutely surpass the first; he could choose any color he wanted for its spirit ring.

If Huo Yuhao were so inclined, he could even have the rings engraved with patterns.

By becoming Huo Yuhao's second spirit soul, it was already showing great respect to the rules of the Douluo world.

Qian Daoliu looked at the young boy before him and nodded slightly.

He was still just a child who knew nothing, unaware of how much a spirit ring could enhance a spirit master's abilities.

Huo Yuhao would naturally learn these things as he grew, so Qian Daoliu was in no rush to explain.

"Let me see your spirit."

Qian Daoliu scrutinized Huo Yuhao's deep blue, exceptionally clear eyes.

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a faint layer of golden patterns emerged within his pupils.

If one looked closely, they could see extremely faint silver patterns alongside the golden ones.

"There are all sorts of strange spirits in this world, but they are generally divided into two categories: beast spirits and tool spirits."

"Beast spirits usually appear in the image of an animal and can be used for spirit avatar combat. Your second spirit belongs to this category."

"Those that appear in the form of objects and can be used in a three-dimensional manner are tool spirits."

"These are the two most widespread types of spirits known on the continent. However, there is actually a third, special existence that cannot be strictly classified as either."

"According to the records of Spirit Hall, over the past ten thousand years or so, there have been dozens of cases of spirit masters with unique spirits. Their spirits varied, but they were all parts of the body—some powerful, some weak."

"Eyes like yours have appeared before, but only in one instance."

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu picked up several sheets of paper from the desk beside him.

"His innate spirit power was not very high, and since eyes have no offensive capabilities, he was not highly regarded, which led to his limited achievements."

"The spirit rings he added for himself were mostly life-type plants that wouldn't cause issues. It wasn't until he reached the Spirit King level and absorbed an animal spirit ring that he discovered the true purpose of his spirit."

"Your eye spirit should be an extremely rare mental-type spirit."

Spirit Hall had existed for ten thousand years and had awakened spirits for countless masters across the continent. While they didn't record every single detail of everyone's spirit, they kept records of those with special circumstances.

Spirits like the Body Spirit were so unique that Spirit Hall had documented them and kept the records on the top floor of the Spirit Hall library.

When the purple-robed bishop of Feimu City reported Huo Yuhao's spirit, Qian Daoliu had immediately sent someone to find the relevant records.

The current spirit master system was so mature precisely because predecessors had constantly engaged in trial and error.

Huo Yuhao took the documents Qian Daoliu handed him, feeling a stir in his heart.

They say that having a sect with a deep foundation is a blessing for future disciples; even for a spirit as rare as a Body Spirit, Spirit Hall had detailed records.

For talented commoner spirit masters, joining Spirit Hall truly allowed them to receive more appropriate training.

At least they wouldn't make the genius decision of having a life-type plant absorb a poisonous plant or animal spirit beast.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Qian Daoliu's actions confirmed Huo Yuhao's assessment: he was indeed a very qualified teacher.

"You are my student, so naturally, I must be responsible for your life."

A spirit master's cultivation of their spirit represented everything; if one took the wrong path, their entire life could be ruined.

One wondered if a certain "Grandmaster" would feel ashamed if he heard Qian Daoliu's words.

"Mental-attribute spirit beasts are not common. They appear in the Far North and in the oceans, but those places are vast and boundless, making them difficult to search."

The environment there was also unsuitable for a spirit master like Huo Yuhao, who had only just awakened his spirit.

Therefore, the best choice was the Star Dou Great Forest.

"In a few days, Ji'er—your senior brother, Qian Xunji—will return. I will have him take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for a spirit ring."

At that moment, deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Xunji, who had just finished absorbing his eighth spirit ring, let out a sneeze.

"You must not slack off on your cultivation during this time. Although your level cannot increase, your spirit power is still rising. Once you obtain your first spirit ring, your spirit power will naturally rise accordingly."

Huo Yuhao nodded obediently, playing the part of a clueless country bumpkin to perfection.

He already had impressions of everything Qian Daoliu said, but knowing it himself was one thing, and having a teacher instruct him was another.

From their first meeting until now, Huo Yuhao could give his teacher a very high score.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had taken it to heart, Qian Daoliu smiled with satisfaction.

"Let me see your second spirit."

In the information reported from Feimu City, Huo Yuhao had caused quite a commotion when he awakened his second spirit.

As a child who had just awakened, he had used his spirit alone to render a Spirit Ancestor completely unable to resist.

This was proof enough of the extraordinary nature of Huo Yuhao's second spirit!

If that were truly the case, I fear the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon would have to abdicate its title as the number one beast spirit in the world.

Huo Yuhao's thoughts stirred, and a winding, coiled black phantom about three meters tall emerged.

Compared to the sky-obscuring manifestation during its awakening, the Ancestral Dragon spirit was now reduced to this size under Huo Yuhao's deliberate control.

Although its physical form had shrunk, that aura of looking down upon the world and reigning supreme remained unchanged.

Opposite him, Qian Daoliu's expression shifted abruptly, his gaze toward Huo Yuhao filled with disbelief.

His own spirit was the god-level Six-Winged Angel, possessing innate full soul power.

And he, Qian Daoliu, stood at the very pinnacle of all soul masters on the Douluo Continent as a rank 99 Limit Douluo!

Even with the combined reinforcement of his spirit and his strength, he still felt a sense of trembling, an inability to defy what stood before him upon seeing Huo Yuhao's second spirit.

If he were affected to this degree, what of the others?

I fear that once Huo Yuhao unleashed his second spirit, they would fare even worse.

And this was only just after its awakening!

As long as Huo Yuhao was given enough time to grow, I fear all other beast spirits would bow their heads in submission before his second spirit, not daring to harbor even the slightest thought of resistance.

Even if Huo Yuhao never added a soul ring to his second spirit, its very existence was already the greatest soul skill of all!

Qian Daoliu looked at Huo Yuhao, who still appeared young and shy, his expression complex.

The future of this child was likely something that Spirit Hall could not constrain.

"Your second spirit is incredibly powerful; you can focus on cultivating it later. The higher the age of the soul ring, the stronger its soul skill will be. Yuhao, you will eventually become someone who surpasses your teacher."
