"By the way, Huo Yuhao, are you interested in participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament?"

As Huo Yuhao recovered on the bed, Ma Xiaotao asked him.

"Hm?"

Naturally, Huo Yuhao knew about this continent-wide advanced competition.

"My rank probably isn't high enough to join, is it?"

Huo Yuhao said. Logically speaking, Shrek must have already selected its candidates, and they had to be Soul King-level powerhouses. If so, why would they need a Soul Elder like him?

"No, you can join the reserve team. There'll be a selection match in a few days, and the seven winners will become reserves. Are you interested?"

There was no need to hide it from Huo Yuhao anymore, so Ma Xiaotao directly told him about the upcoming selection match. As long as Huo Yuhao wanted to participate, he would definitely get in.

"We main team members naturally won't be fighting in the early rounds. Your reserve team will definitely get chances to take the field too."

Ma Xiaotao continued. What did young people need most right now? A dazzling stage, of course. This tournament could provide exactly that.

"Mm..."

Huo Yuhao thought it over, then thought of the Spirit Pagoda. Xia Liang had said that they needed a great deal of fame. What could bring more fame than having Soul Spirits appear before the public at the Soul Dueling Tournament?

"Mm, I'll go."

Huo Yuhao answered. He definitely had to go.

"It's good that you agreed."

Ma Xiaotao was relieved to hear Huo Yuhao agree.

"Then go back and get plenty of rest over the next few days in preparation for the selection match. I need to cultivate too."

Having gotten what she wanted, Ma Xiaotao tossed Huo Yuhao aside.

Build their relationship? How could that possibly feel better than cultivation?!

Of course, Huo Yuhao did not mind. This had been a transaction from the start.

Meanwhile, in the Extreme North...

"Su Family Head Su Lie pays respects to Lord Snow King."

The Su Family was a family on the outskirts of the Extreme North with a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse. At this moment, the Su Family Head radiated the aura of a Titled Douluo, a snow-white ice wyrm behind him as he led numerous clan members in paying respects to a woman in white ahead of them.

"No need for formalities. How is the Soul Spirit Method?"

The woman in white asked. Upon hearing the words "Soul Spirit," the burning fervor in Su Lie's eyes deepened several degrees.

"A creation of the gods! Nothing short of a miracle!"

The worship in Su Lie's eyes grew even stronger. He had originally been nothing more than an elderly Rank 98 Soul Douluo. Without any surprises, he would never have taken that step in this lifetime.

But a few days ago, this woman called Snow King had appeared, bringing with her a weakly breathing hundred-thousand-year ice wyrm.

At the time, Su Lie had thought he was doomed, never expecting such a blessing to fall from the heavens.

After forming a contract with the hundred-thousand-year ice wyrm, he received a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and a hundred-thousand-year torso bone, directly breaking through to become a Rank 92 Titled Douluo.

A Titled Douluo!

The strongest existence in the mortal world!

In particular, the Soul Spirit Method he called a miracle was currently sweeping through the Extreme North. Unfortunately, not many soul beasts were willing to form contracts with humans. Only some soul beasts on the verge of death were willing.

"Mm. From now on, your Su Family will be the first affiliated family of my Extreme North Spirit Pagoda. You should know what you need to do. If anyone comes looking to die, I will act."

"Yes!"

Su Lie answered loudly, then looked behind him.

Soon, a white-haired young girl cautiously stepped out from behind him.

"Senior Snow King, this is my granddaughter, Su Tong. She has just reached Rank 30. May I request a ten-thousand-year Soul Spirit for her?"

Su Lie said. If it were merely a thousand-year Soul Spirit, he could negotiate for one himself. With Snow Empress's permission, the Su Family could now form contracts with soul beasts whose lifespans were nearly exhausted or who were gravely wounded and near death.

Because of this, many soul masters had begun traveling to the Extreme North to hunt soul beasts, intending to force them into signing contracts.

However, this was forbidden within the Spirit Pagoda. Several groups had already been killed.

A Soul Spirit Contract required a soul beast's consent. Even if a contract was forcibly initiated this way, the soul master's side would inevitably suffer severe backlash.

Thinking of this, Snow Empress began to feel a headache coming on. Soul Spirits were good, but they still lacked something—far too much, in fact.

When Snow Empress saw Su Tong, a strange light flashed through her eyes. This child's martial soul...?

"A ten-thousand-year Soul Spirit... I recall that a fifty-thousand-year Ice Spirit was severely injured and sealed itself within the ice. It will do."

"Thank you, Lord Snow King!"

Hearing that it was possible, Su Lie was instantly overjoyed. If Su Tong could obtain a ten-thousand-year soul ring as her third ring, then her fourth soul ring would certainly be ten-thousand-year as well. With such talent, she would surely become a Titled Douluo in the future!

Snow Empress did not care for Su Lie's praise. Looking at Su Tong, she thought this little girl might be worth cultivating...

"Regarding Twilight, I do not wish for it to appear anywhere other than the Spirit Pagoda."

As for Xia Liang's Twilight dungeon, it would not matter even if someone took it away. However, it was still property of the Spirit Pagoda. Taking it without permission—were they trying to test Snow Empress's strength?

"Understood. I will guard Twilight strictly!"

Su Lie's expression was exceedingly solemn. Now that Twilight had been mentioned, the region of the Extreme North where he was located was nearly known to everyone. Although there were few types of soul beasts within Twilight, compared to traveling to real soul beast territories, the public still chose Twilight.

When Twilight had first appeared, people had indeed doubted whether it was real. Only after the Su Family led people inside to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings did anyone truly begin entering Twilight.

Once they entered, they were completely won over.

One had to know that low-level resources near external soul beast territories had already been thoroughly plundered. To obtain resources, one had to risk entering the depths. Twilight was different. Every Twilight was a new world, and resources would never run out. Once they were exhausted, Snow Empress would simply close it and open a new Twilight.

That way, resources could replenish themselves, and some low-level soul masters could sell items inside. It was also extremely safe, because as long as they entered the easy difficulty and stayed away from the leader zones, they would never encounter overly powerful soul beasts.

Most importantly, the strength of the soul beasts in Twilight was fixed. No matter how strong they were, they could not become too powerful.

The Twilight entrances in Snow Empress's hands currently offered easy and normal difficulties. At most, they could produce twenty-thousand-year soul beasts. Furthermore, killing high-level soul beasts could yield special items, such as Burning Blood and Naga Scales. These special items were now being frantically snapped up on the market.

However, where there were opportunities, there were naturally dangers.

In normal mode, a Rank 59 Soul King powerhouse led a team of Soul Ancestors into the Knight Fortress. But they had not purchased the corresponding guide, and the entire team was killed after being ganged up on by six ten-thousand-year Phantom Knights.

Moreover, after dying, due to the influence of the Goblin Knight Fortress, the Soul King and Soul Ancestors became guardian knights there, trapping and killing quite a few more soul masters.

Besides combat, some of the plants there were also valuable. For example, the Torch Berries found in normal difficulty contained mysterious power. They were already being fought over outside, and some fire-attribute soul masters felt that the fire soul power in their bodies had been purified after absorbing the berries.

However, with the Spirit Pagoda becoming so popular, some people were bound to develop ill intentions.

But when those ill-intentioned people saw the perfectly intact corpses of several Titled Douluo and dozens of Soul Douluo hanging at the Spirit Pagoda's entrance, every last one of those thoughts vanished.

Thus, the Spirit Pagoda slowly took root in the Extreme North.

Still, Snow Empress found it somewhat regrettable. The monsters within Twilight could not become Soul Spirits. Otherwise, many things would have been much easier.

"Hmm? Even an Ultimate Douluo has come?"

Snow Empress sensed an extraordinarily powerful aura. Without any surprises, it was one of the mortal world's ultimate powerhouses.

Someone at that level would not be easy to kill...
