Chapter 173: The New Structure Of The Dragon Clan
“Good morning! Xilu City!”
After a busy day, Master Huo finally regained his vitality and enthusiasm following a night’s rest yesterday.
Huo Yuhao had a towel draped over his shoulder, a toothbrush in his mouth, and was admiring the morning scenery outside Xilu City while the chirping of birds echoed under the eaves, blending with the whispers of the breeze to create music of nature.
“Teacher, breakfast is ready.”
“Come eat quickly.”
Su Tong’s cold voice came from the living room downstairs. This child had no property in Xilu City, so Huo Yuhao simply let her live with him.
It was also convenient for teaching her alchemy and some spiritual power cultivation knowledge.
With the extremely vast pure spiritual power provided by the Magic Net, Su Tong’s Extreme Ice soul power would no longer hinder her cultivation speed.
Even under massive accumulation, her cultivation speed was much faster than that of normal soul masters, already approaching level sixty.
It was expected that she would reach level sixty by the end of the month, and Huo Yuhao planned to take her to the Extreme North to find a soul ring then.
For Su Tong’s sixth soul ring, Huo Yuhao planned to use a hundred thousand year level soul spirit.
This would also be the world’s first true soul spirit.
There were many hundred thousand year level soul beasts in the Extreme North that could not pass their first heavenly tribulation.
Although the heavenly tribulation’s power was reduced by thirty percent, it was still heavenly punishment that showed no mercy.
According to the beast kings of the Extreme North, after soul beasts barely broke through to hundred thousand years, the heavenly tribulation would arrive about a thousand years later.
The first heavenly tribulation was different from the subsequent ones, with a delay.
Many soul beasts had not yet recovered their strength and had to face the first heavenly tribulation.
The vast majority of hundred thousand year soul beasts exhausted their potential due to this heavenly tribulation, unable to break through to two hundred thousand years for the second one.
Of course, there were also a very few soul beasts that had just entered hundred thousand years and knew they could not pass the first heavenly tribulation, decisively choosing to transform into human form for a chance at a higher realm.
This was basically the only chance for soul beasts to transform into humans.
Once they passed the first heavenly tribulation, it became very difficult to transform, as their bodies were already tainted with heavenly punishment aura, making it hard to change life forms without special means.
As the Lord of the Extreme North, as soon as Huo Yuhao spoke, many soul beasts that had just entered hundred thousand years would be willing to become Su Tong’s soul spirit.
These soul beasts that had just entered hundred thousand years were all quite fearful of the first heavenly punishment.
Of course, he would not mistreat these hundred thousand year beast kings who voluntarily became soul spirits; the Magic Net’s spiritual power would fully sustain them.
Even if the contract was terminated in the future, they could still act independently for two hundred years.
After that, they could choose their own future, whether recontracting with new humans or entering the Dream Space as his retainers, and Huo Yuhao would fully support them.
After washing up, Huo Yuhao put on his clothes and went downstairs, where Su Tong had already neatly placed breakfast on the dining table.
Huo Yuhao pulled out a chair and sat directly across from Su Tong, then devoured the breakfast in front of him without any decorum.
Su Tong, on the other hand, ate her breakfast in small bites, much more gracefully than Huo Yuhao.
Although Huo Yuhao had never expressed it directly, he truly enjoyed the feeling of someone accompanying him at meals.
In his previous life, he was an orphan, and in this life, he was much the same—both belonging to the Innate Bridge-Blocking Sacred Body that didn’t need to buy a family portrait even when going to space to block the bridge.
“Teacher, have you processed the documents?”
Su Tong’s sudden remark made Huo Yuhao’s body tremble, and he gave an embarrassed smile, saying:
“Yes, yes.”
“Definitely this time.”
Seeing her teacher’s evasive manner, Su Tong felt somewhat helpless. He was clearly the leader of Enthusiasm, yet he had no interest in management.
The bulk of the burden for what was now the continent’s top force had fallen on her, a mere Soul King.
If not for Roman, Adam, and others helping share the work, she would have wanted to flee back to Dragon City overnight.
After finishing breakfast, Huo Yuhao said to Su Tong:
“I remember you’re about to break through to level sixty too.”
“You should have seen the Soul Spirit Technology by now.”
Su Tong was just about to stand and clear the table when she heard Huo Yuhao’s words. Her ice-blue eyes blinked, and she nodded slightly.
When Huo Yuhao was not at Enthusiasm, she managed headquarters, and with her authority, she naturally knew about the existence of Soul Spirit Technology.
She had thought at the time that this technology was incredibly powerful, nearly overturning the entire existing Soul Master System.
Then, Huo Yuhao continued:
“Your sixth soul ring will be a hundred thousand year soul spirit.”
“Remember to cultivate your spiritual power more during this time; soul spirits are closely related to spiritual power.”
“If you run out of Dream Coins, just use your admin privileges to draw them.”
“We have plenty of that stuff at home.”
At the mention of Dream Coins, Su Tong’s eyelids twitched involuntarily, and looking at her teacher’s face, she couldn’t help but complain.
“I understand. I’ll strengthen my spiritual power cultivation from now on.”
“But Teacher, isn’t the Dream Coin ten draws nine a bit too much?”
“In just half a year, our Dream Coin reserves have reached fifty billion.”
“Equivalent to the total energy of five thousand standard Titled Douluo.”
“Most of which was contributed by the Soul Beast Clan.”
Note: A standard Titled Douluo is equivalent to Nebula Douluo Manyi.
“And the growth rate is still rising rapidly.”
Seeing Su Tong’s strained expression, Huo Yuhao felt a pang of distress.
“Little Tong!”
“You’re just too conscientious!”
“Money can be earned again if it’s gone, but if conscience is gone, you earn even more!”
“See, even after drawing away ninety percent of the Dream Coins, the Magic Net economic system is still running normally, right?”
“If a program can run, don’t mess with it.”
“The game module hasn’t been released yet. Once it is, you’ll know what a real money sink is.”
“When we have a bit more Dream Coins in the future, we’ll open loan services.”
“Any soul master can obtain loans of different amounts based on their talent.”
“Dream Coins can also be provided to the Enthusiasm research department for consumption, supporting their soul power energy needs.”
She thought about it, hesitated, and said nothing more. In the current situation, they really couldn’t touch the Magic Net economic system anymore; if it collapsed, it would be disastrous.
But thinking of the future when loan services opened, two soul masters borrowing huge loans to defeat each other.
In the end, the loser dies and the debt is cleared, while the winner owes a huge debt—Su Tong felt that scene was too beautiful to imagine.
“Mm, I understand.”
“Teacher, I’ll go wash the dishes first.”
“I still need to go to Enthusiasm Headquarters to handle some problems soon.”
Su Tong cleared the plates and bowls from the table and went to the kitchen to wash them.
Huo Yuhao sat in the chair for a while before getting up to head to Enthusiasm Headquarters. Today, he planned to go to the Dream Space to create Angelwede.
Since he had decided to create a new Dragon Clan, he naturally needed to revise the original Dragon Clan.
For example, the nine great Dragon King bloodlines: the Mountain Dragon King and Earth Dragon King would merge into one lineage, becoming the new King of Earth and Mountains.
The Wind Dragon King would undergo bloodline adjustment to fuse with avian soul beast bloodline, creating the King of Sky and Wind.
The Water Dragon King would do the same, fusing with ocean soul beast bloodline to birth the King of Ocean and Water.
The Fire Dragon King would use the Life Bottle to fuse with a large amount of rare metals, along with the alchemy given by Huo Yuhao, to birth the King of Bronze and Fire.
The Space Dragon King would be inherited by Ti Bao, with minimal adjustments; Light and Darkness had no place, so they would be dropped.
The Time Dragon King died very thoroughly, after all, as the main instigator of the Dragon Clan’s crown prince’s death, likely leaving not even remnants.
Above all these, Huo Yuhao also planned to create a completely new dragon lineage: the Spirit Dragon lineage.
With the soon-to-be-created Angelwede as the Spirit Dragon King, and also the subsequent White King.
Thus, the structure of Huo Yuhao’s new Dragon Clan would be basically complete.
With King of Earth and Mountains, King of Bronze and Fire, King of Sky and Wind, King of Ocean and Water, as well as Space Dragon Clan and Spirit Dragon Clan as the main dragon lineages.
Using the [Gaia Goddess’s Life Bottle] to grant status capable of containing abilities, filled internally with alchemy.
For example, the inner essence of the King of Earth and Mountains would be earth element inscriptions; the inscriptions and dragon bone together grant authority and power.
Inscriptions represent authority, dragon bone represents power.
However, Huo Yuhao planned to separate authority and power: each dragon lineage would have two Dragon Kings, jointly wielding power.
This was a kind of cosplay by Huo Yuhao, but he wouldn’t make the two Dragon Kings only become complete by devouring each other.
After all, Huo Yuhao wasn’t some devil.
Douluo Continent had its signature Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
The two Dragon Kings of a dragon lineage could fuse via a similar principle to wield true authority.
Since these new Dragon Clans were born from the remains of the old Dragon Clan, they could naturally inherit everything from the old Dragon Clan, leaving even the God Realm with no grounds to complain.
The Destruction God King and Goddess of Life, along with some holdovers from the Dragon God Realm, would secretly support these new Dragon Clans.
As repayment for the Dragon God’s past support, after all, not all deities forget their roots.
Most deities try to give back to their original world, securing benefits for their homeland.
Part of the God Realm Committee’s responsibility is to balance the needs of various deities.
These new Dragon Clans would become Huo Yuhao’s retainers, the sharpest blades of the Spirit Master.
Currently, Huo Yuhao could only create the King of Sky and Wind.
Earth and Mountains required going to the Dragon Tomb, and the other two needed a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which demanded full preparation.
Although Tang Buddha seemed to be in a bad state now, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse; that ghostly place at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well still required extra caution.
Who knew if he had set up some clever little devices, waiting for Huo Yuhao to arrive?
