Back at the dormitory entrance, Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao. She did not discuss the reason for the Evil Spirit Master attack, and instead said, "The Execution Department will probably come handle this matter."

Putting aside her relationship with Di Tian and the others, her teacher was Dark Phoenix Douluo's elder sister, so she understood the Execution Department quite well.

Supervision was their main duty, and encircling and eliminating Evil Spirit Masters was also one of their tasks.

Now that she had been attacked by Evil Spirit Masters, whether emotionally or logically, Carefree Douluo would say something to Dark Phoenix Douluo's side.

"Mm."

Huo Yuhao nodded. Like Gu Yuena, he tacitly skipped over the matter of the Evil Spirit Master attack. Hua Yichen would handle that matter properly.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "I'm not very clear on the makeup of the Execution Department. Can you tell me about it?"

As for the Execution Department, he only knew the purpose behind this department's establishment. He was not very clear on the details of its personnel composition, and Hua Yichen would not talk to him about these things for no reason. But according to his understanding of Evil Spirit Masters, there would not be many powerful individuals among them.

Just looking at Miss Tang Ya made that clear. Before using her Devouring Talent and after using her Devouring Talent, the speed at which her strength improved was as different as heaven and earth.

The reason Evil Spirit Masters were powerful was because of the strange abilities brought by their Martial Souls. If they did not use them, then unless it was a Martial Soul like Ma Xiaotao's, which could achieve something even without becoming an Evil Spirit Master, they were not much different from ordinary Soul Masters.

If they obtained the right to live under the sun, they had to give up the ability to grow quickly.

That could also be considered a case of gain and loss coming together.

Moreover, when it came to supervision, the Spirit Pagoda had not taken everything for itself. It had cooperated with the Federation to do it, and the Federation would also send people to review things together.

Because of this, some children with the potential to become Evil Spirit Masters had a fairly high sense of identification with the Federation, and quite a few of them entered Federation departments to work after growing up. Naturally, the chances of powerful experts being born in the Execution Department were even smaller.

However, in Huo Yuhao's view, this was a good thing. It showed that the Spirit Pagoda had not been carried away by strength.

Putting aside the political significance, by cooperating with the Federation, if problems arose, they could drag the Federation in to take the blame together. Why not?

Hearing this, Gu Yuena thought for a moment and said:

"The Spirit Pagoda's requirement for the Execution Department is that they develop in the direction of normal Soul Masters, and there are also those who leave the Execution Department after their review ends. So up to now, there are only two powerful experts above Titled Douluo. My teacher's younger sister, Dark Phoenix Douluo, is one of them."

"The other person's title is... Soul Suppressing. He's also very special within the Execution Department. He's one of the few existences that the Spirit Pagoda's upper levels have allowed to use his Martial Soul abilities to improve, and he's also one of the hidden trump cards the Spirit Pagoda keeps concealed. Only people at Deputy Pagoda Master and above are qualified to know about him. His ability is related to souls. He has to devour soul energy in order to improve his cultivation; ordinary cultivation has no effect..."

The corner of Huo Yuhao's eye twitched. Even though Gu Yuena had not finished speaking, he had already guessed who that person was.

Good grief, the Spirit Pagoda had become a branch altar of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Was the orthodox Holy Spirit Cult in the Spirit Pagoda?

Only after Gu Yuena roughly explained Soul Suppressing Douluo's ability characteristics did Huo Yuhao ask, "If I'm not wrong, he improved by eating Spirit Ascension Pills, right?"

"That's right. Or rather, the Spirit Ascension Pill appeared because of him." As Gu Yuena spoke, her expression also became strange. "He was the first person to become a Limit Douluo by relying on taking pills. He was also the strongest commoner Soul Master the Spirit Pagoda has unearthed in nearly the past hundred years."

He had to devour souls to improve his cultivation. In the eyes of other powers, this kind of Soul Master could only be killed as an Evil Spirit Master, but the Spirit Pagoda was different. They had even created Artificial Soul Spirits!

Of course, the Spirit Pagoda was not going to feed Soul Spirits to Soul Suppressing Douluo. It simply gave him the energy used to manufacture Soul Spirits to eat. After all, what he absorbed was only the energy within souls.

The Spirit Ascension Pill was developed because of this. The spiritual power inside it was the energy used to create Artificial Soul Spirits, which was why it could increase a Soul Spirit's cultivation.

"According to Soul Suppressing Douluo himself, in order to become a Limit Douluo, he ate pills until he puked," Gu Yuena continued.

Huo Yuhao and the group of Soul Beasts in his Spiritual Sea: "..."

Becoming a Limit Douluo by eating pills... the Soul Engineers from ten thousand years ago would have cried with envy, and you were still dissatisfied?

Were those human words?

"However, the price was also expensive. In that era, most of the spiritual power in the Spirit Ascension Platform was used to make Spirit Ascension Pills. Only a very small number of slots were given to other forces, which caused quite a few incidents. It only recovered after several decades.

In a certain sense, he was equivalent to being nurtured with resources that could have raised several dozen Hundred Thousand Year Soul Spirits."

Of course, compared with a Limit Douluo whose abilities were strange and who could serve as a trump card, none of these things counted for much.

As she thought this, Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao. "The reason the Spirit Pagoda values him is not just his strength. He can produce soul rings himself. Whenever he absorbs enough spiritual power, his Martial Soul condenses a soul ring for him. If not for the need for some Soul Spirits to supervise him, all nine of his soul rings would have been generated by himself. He has very high research value."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded inwardly.

A Soul Master producing his own soul rings was not much different from a Soul Beast taking human form. Among the Soul Masters of this era, this former leader of the Holy Spirit Cult's Four Heavenly Kings was also someone he was very interested in.

If he had the chance, he would also like to study the other party's abilities, and incidentally ask him whether becoming a Limit Douluo by eating pills was actually comfortable!

Meanwhile, the Ice Empress in the Spiritual Sea was speechless.

Her past thoughts had come true. There really were humans who could produce their own soul rings...

Looking at the silent Huo Yuhao before her, Gu Yuena suddenly asked:

"Now, among the Pagoda Masters of the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars and the members of the Federation Parliament, there are Soul Beasts. From the Execution Department, it can also be seen that the number of Evil Spirit Masters has likewise begun to decline because of Soul Spirit Contracts. The Spirit Pagoda has fulfilled its initial promise, and even gone a step further. Are you satisfied with that?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned, then smiled and said, "Whether anyone is satisfied or not should be answered by the people and Soul Beasts living in this era. I only returned not long ago, so I'm not qualified to speak on behalf of the Spirit Pagoda. This question should be asked of yourself."

"..."

Gu Yuena's bright black eyes looked into Huo Yuhao's eyes. After a moment of silence, she broke into a smile. "I don't dislike this era, but I hope it can become even better."

Huo Yuhao chuckled and turned to walk in the direction of the Forging Room. "The prerequisite for making it better is taking part in the process yourself, right? You want to try the new forging method?"

"Mm, yes." Gu Yuena followed with light steps.

The prerequisite for making it better was, of course, taking part in it herself.

She, the Silver Dragon King, did not want to Lie Down and Win!

The first floor of this dormitory building had rooms dedicated to various Side Professions. The two of them arrived at a Forging Room, and Huo Yuhao took out several pieces of rare metal.

"You can first try using Elemental Power to remove the impurities from the metal. I understand basic refinement, so I can give you some guidance."

Gu Yuena nodded and took a piece of metal. Without using the Forging Platform, she directly sent it into the air with Wind Element. At the same time, lights of various elements began to circulate around her body, brilliant and multicolored, as though the Elemental Power between heaven and earth was responding to her summons.

Compared to when she had fought before, her aura at this moment was unprecedentedly powerful.

As Huo Yuhao watched this scene and thought of his previous impression of Gu Yuena, six words suddenly came to mind.

Word Spirit Heaven and Earth as Furnace?

So you really are Shrimp Teacher?

The wording in yesterday's chapter regarding the strength of the Tower Masters of the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars wasn't accurate enough. The word "strength" should have been added after Super Douluo, and it has now been corrected. Some of the Tower Masters among the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars are Fierce Beasts who possess Battle Armor, so please don't think that eighteen Super Douluo-level powerhouses is too exaggerated.

The top seven War Gods of the War God Hall were all Super Douluo, with two Limit Douluo as the Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master.

The Spirit Pagoda wouldn't be inferior, and with the Fierce Beasts added in, gathering eighteen powerhouses above the Super Douluo level really wasn't difficult.
