The Spirit Eyes were responsible for observing and reporting what they saw to her.
She used her brain to calculate, allowing her to adapt quickly in the moment and formulate battle plans in a timely manner.
This approach could be applied to hunting Soul Beasts in the wild, small team battles, and Soul Master duels involving two or more people.
She worked out several plans in her mind, but for now, only the one above could be put into practice.
"Senior sister."
Huo Yuhao's voice interrupted her.
Vina said, "Go ahead."
"My First Soul Skill can detect and share what it detects with anyone, anytime and anywhere."
Share it with anyone, anytime and anywhere?!
Vina's eyes lit up. If she combined that with her brain's First Soul Skill...
Wouldn't everyone be able to learn the tactical arrangements immediately and communicate without a word?
"All right, let's try it!"
Huo Yuhao looked at Du Busi, who understood at once and walked over to Huo Yuhao and Vina.
"You two youngsters, begin."
Huo Yuhao nodded. A sky-blue light overlaid with pale gold appeared deep in Huoyao's eyes, and two Soul Rings, one lustrous white and one purple, circled beneath Huo Yuhao's feet.
Vina stared in shock at the golden light in Huo Yuhao's eyes.
Innate Gold-Rank Second Awakening?!
Her eyes widened as she stared at Huo Yuhao in disbelief.
This had to be a lie!
Before Vina could recover from her shock, Huo Yuhao's first lustrous white Soul Ring and his purple Soul Ring lit up beneath his feet.
First Soul Skill, Spiritual Sharing, Spiritual Detection!
Second Soul Skill, Ice Pupil!
In an instant, information about everything within several dozen meters appeared to Huo Yuhao, Vina, Du Busi, the Snow Empress, and the others.
Vina came to her senses and immediately took in the information.
Every detail about Du Busi appeared in her mind, and she used those details to work out several possible paths to victory.
"I found it. We can't beat him in a contest of raw strength, but if we're only talking about tactics and details..."
Having found a plan, Vina passed it to everyone present through Huo Yuhao's sharing.
A flood of information poured into everyone's minds.
The right moments to draw out the fight and weave around, when to feint, and who would deliver the final blow all took shape in their minds, one by one.
Whenever the existing information changed-for example, if Du Busi strayed from his original path-an entirely new plan would appear in their minds.
As Du Busi carefully studied these plans that could defeat him, he realized that, setting aside the difference in strength,
if he fought a team of seven alone and his Soul Power Level were adjusted to match their strongest member, he would undoubtedly lose.
Without saying a word, they could coordinate their teammates' tactics in a Soul Master duel.
Du Busi couldn't help exclaiming, "Invincible. This is truly far too invincible."
At that moment, an idea occurred to Xue Mingshan.
What if Huo Yuhao and Vina's abilities were used in an imperial war?
Every soldier sharing one brain...
Tsk!
Just imagining the scene made Xue Mingshan shiver.
As everyone knew, a single strategist on a battlefield could turn the tide of a battle.
What if he brought out two strategists?
Shrek Academy.
Xuan Zi hurried all the way back to Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion with a dark face, paying no heed to the feelings of the students he nearly sent flying.
Furious!
He was furious!
He was furious right now!
He didn't care about having to bow to an empire.
The point was that he had bowed to an empire that had sided with the Body Sect!
Xuan Zi reached Mu En's room, pushed the door open, and went inside.
Mu En was lying leisurely on his long bed. A cold wind blew in, blowing aside the blanket covering him.
Xuan Zi suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Elder Mu."
"You're back?"
Mu En opened his eyes and saw Xuan Zi's grim expression.
He pointed to the chair beside the bed. "Come sit here."
Without bothering with anything else, Xuan Zi plopped down in the chair.
Mu En asked again, "How did you handle the dispute involving the Heavenly Soul Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Body Sect, and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion?"
Xuan Zi said angrily, "Same as ever!"
"That Huo Yuhao you mentioned-I found him. He really is with the Body Sect."
Mu En had expected Huo Yuhao to be in the Body Sect. After all, aside from the Tang Sect, the Body Sect was the only place Huo Yuhao could join.
And the Body Sect would take in Soul Masters with Body Martial Souls without a second thought.
Mu En asked, "What did you discuss?"
Xuan Zi told him everything that had happened in the royal conference hall in one breath.
When he mentioned the Dragon Core, Mu En paused.
Du Busi...
He knew about the Dragon Core.
And then there was the Level 99 Limit Douluo with Ultimate Ice.
And Huo Yuhao's Innate Gold-Rank Second Awakening.
The amount of information was simply far, far too much for him.
He needed time to process it.
Xuan Zi watched Mu En sit motionless and did not disturb him.
Elder Mu must have had his reasons for doing this.
Suddenly, Mu En asked, "What do you think about the compensation?"
"What else can we do? Stall for as long as we can!" Xuan Zi didn't care. Deep down, he was unwilling to give resources to a prodigy from a hostile sect.
Mu En glanced at Xuan Zi and said, "Stall? How long do you intend to stall?"
Xuan Zi stood up and said angrily, "For as long as we possibly can, of course."
"We can't possibly be expected to nurture someone else's prodigy!"
"What if they use your contract as an excuse to smear Shrek?"
"And that Level 99 Limit Douluo you mentioned-I'm old, and my injuries remain. At most, I can suppress Du Busi. If we really fought, we wouldn't be their match."
Mu En's words left Xuan Zi speechless.
Xuan Zi lowered his head, fell silent, and accepted Mu En's lesson.
Mu En continued, "You know how that old fellow Du Busi does things."
"Do you think he might make you share the White Tiger Duke's Mansion's fate?"
"I..." Xuan Zi swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.
Mu En looked at the thoughtful Xuan Zi and said, "Their demands on us were already lenient enough."
"They didn't name the Dragon Core outright and demand it from us. Instead, they let you and Dai Hao choose, or share the burden."
"As for the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife, I'll have Elder Lin buy it back at a low price."
Suddenly, Xuan Zi spotted a blind spot. "Elder Mu, isn't the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife a carving knife used exclusively by the Soul Tool Department?"
"Why would Du Busi and the others ask for it?"
"Who knows..." Mu En chuckled, then closed his eyes to rest.
The Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife, Gold of Life...
Forget it. Let Huo Yuhao have it.
He really had no ability to purify the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife into Gold of Life.
Besides, the Gold of Life was also crucial to Huo Yuhao's development later on.
