Bone Spirit Cold Fire Sub-Flame, Mark of Life

Bone Spirit Cold Fire Sub-Flame, Mark of Life

After the three left the Star Dou Great Forest, Bei Bei hired a carriage in the nearest town and sped toward Shrek City.

Along the way, Huo Yuhao took out the Basic Alchemy Handbook he had received earlier and studied it carefully.

If he wanted some startup capital, he could sell Grilled Fish for small profits in the early stages to cover daily expenses. Later, he would still have to rely on pills to accumulate wealth through cultivation.

After all, pills in Douluo Dalu 2 were quite precious. Take the Mystic Water Pill that Huo Gua had consumed at Shrek in the Original Work, for example.

It was said that no amount of money could buy it, that it was priceless, and that countless people longed for it.

The pill system had such a high ceiling, yet on the Douluo Continent, it was like a joke. It had appeared out of nowhere and saw no further development.

Meanwhile, Bei Bei introduced Shrek City to Huo Yuhao. This city possessed independent governing authority and did not need to pay taxes to any nation.

It was also the economic and cultural center of the original Three Douluo Kingdoms. Public security was excellent, and trading here was not only fair but also more reassuring.

By nightfall, they finally caught sight of Shrek City's massive outline, still brightly lit.

After the three paid and got out of the carriage, they walked along the main road. It truly deserved to be called the most important commercial city in the Three Douluo Kingdoms. The streets were packed with traffic, crowds surged everywhere, and vendors called out their wares from all sides.

"Come take a look! Level-two Soul Guidance Cannons made by outstanding Shrek Academy students! One shot and you'll want a second—astonishing power!"

Among the many vendors, quite a few were selling Soul Tools.

"Little Brother Huo, do you know much about Soul Tools?" Bei Bei asked.

"Only a little." Huo Yuhao smiled faintly.

Bei Bei then introduced Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department to Huo Yuhao. It possessed the most advanced soul guidance technology in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and played an indispensable leading role among the three nations.

Huo Yuhao listened while casually responding. Of course, he knew how powerful Soul Tools could be.

After all, in Douluo 3, the level-twelve God-Slaying Soul Guidance Cannon Shell had achieved the glorious feat of blowing up Shrek Academy.

"Compared with the Soul Guidance Department, Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department is truly the number one on the entire continent," Bei Bei said proudly.

Huo Yuhao nodded. Shrek's Martial Soul Department was indeed domineering beyond measure, casually making people run a hundred laps around Shrek Plaza.

"Ten thousand years ago, the renowned Grandmaster proposed the ten core theories that still benefit the Soul Master world today. The most representative among them was this: There are no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters."

Bei Bei sighed. "Although Grandmaster was stuck at level thirty for half his life, this theory of his has been regarded by Shrek Academy as a classic and passed down for ten thousand years. We have benefited greatly from it."

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips. "Brother Bei Bei, according to this theory, Shrek Academy's admissions standard is reaching level fifteen before the age of twelve. That means anyone who can enter Shrek Academy isn't useless in terms of talent."

"Since the students aren't useless, then what exactly is useless... And does this Grandmaster you mentioned count as a practitioner of this 'double-useless theory'?" Huo Yuhao wore a thoughtful expression.

Tang Ya's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said delightedly, "That's right. Thinking about it that way, isn't Grandmaster's theory talking about himself?"

Bei Bei was momentarily speechless. After thinking for a while, he slowly said,

"Perhaps Grandmaster's strengths were rather limited."

"Although Grandmaster's martial soul had mutated in reverse, and it was said that his Soul Power once could not break through level thirty, his strength lay in teaching martial soul theory."

Afterward, Bei Bei took Huo Yuhao around Shrek City for a while. Once they found an inn, they bid each other farewell. Just after Huo Yuhao finished washing up, Old Yi's voice sounded in his mind.

"Yuhao, I will first help you fuse that small piece of Gold of Life."

The Gold of Life was within Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit. Deep within it, the gray orb representing Old Yi quietly rolled in a circle.

"Originally, I intended to observe you for some time longer. But after what happened between you and the Auspicious Beast, I feel that you truly carry a faint trace of Destiny Power."

"For the Auspicious Beast to give you Gold of Life, such a treasure overflowing with vitality, this kind of fortune is something countless people can only envy from afar."

Huo Yuhao thought it over. Old Yi had already taken the initiative to enter his Sea of Spirit, so it was understandable that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who possessed a similar aura of destiny, would invest a small piece of Gold of Life in him.

"Old Yi, you were even able to take the initiative to enter my Sea of Spirit."

A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. "Compared to that, what is so shocking about the Auspicious Beast coming to find me on her own?"

Old Yi fell silent for a moment. After thinking about it, that did seem to make sense.

Huo Yuhao asked, "If I want to open the Eye of Life, do I need to first forge this piece of Gold of Life into a small blade? Isn't this piece too small?"

Wisps of gray smoke drifted from the gray orb, condensing into a vague humanoid figure.

Old Yi smiled kindly. "No need. With this small piece of Gold of Life, I can first form a Mark of Life on your forehead."

"A Mark of Life?" Huo Yuhao inexplicably recalled that Old Yi came from Throne of Seal. He nodded. "All right, Old Yi. Please proceed."

Old Yi looked at the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. "Little bug, no matter what changes occur in the Sea of Spirit later, you need not panic. Just continue guarding Yuhao's Sea of Spirit as usual."

Upon hearing this, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately condensed a golden-white trident from his Mental Origin and suspended it above his head, ready for battle.

"Rest assured, Old Yi. I will definitely guard against certain evil things taking advantage of this chance to sneak in!"

Old Yi emitted a trace of a silent, sacred aura. Pale gray light, as though it possessed tangible form, descended directly onto the Gold of Life.

The next instant, the Gold of Life gradually transformed into azure liquid and slowly seeped in through Huo Yuhao's glabella.

At the same time, the Sea of Spirit connected to his glabella expanded outward by a small amount.

The entire process was not slow. Once the Gold of Life had completely fused, an azure-gold mark appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead.

Electrolux smiled in satisfaction. "Yuhao, this wisp of my Divine Sense was originally too insubstantial and could dissipate at any moment. But now, it can be nurtured within the Gold of Life."

"Though it will be extremely slow, it is better than nothing. From now on, I will remain awake for longer periods and can gradually pass on the knowledge in my mind to you."

Old Yi's knowledge? That was Undead Magic.

Huo Yuhao's heart surged with excitement. At that moment, something he had long been awaiting appeared before his eyes.

Opportunity reward settlement: Heavenly Flame Ranking, eleventh—Bone Spirit Cold Fire Sub-Flame; one top-grade Naring (for storing the Sub-fire of Strange Fire)

Huo Yuhao soon received the feedback.

Had it not been for the Gold of Life brought by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the reward would have been the nineteenth-ranked Heavenly Flame, the Azure Lotus Core Flame Sub-Flame.

However, the chain reaction triggered in Old Yi by that piece of Gold of Life had elevated the reward from the nineteenth-ranked sub-flame to the eleventh-ranked sub-flame.

The next second, a Ring of Holding appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand.

Inside the Ring of Holding was a wisp of ghostly white flame.

Within the Sea of Spirit, Electrolux was suddenly startled. "Yuhao, what kind of flame is this!?"

Before this, Electrolux had never imagined that he would encounter such a high-quality Fire Attribute treasure on this continent.
