Chapter 30: Records And The Crucible
“[Understanding] has reached 5%. Branch ability Recording unlocked.”
“Current records: Soft Bone Rabbit: A rabbit living in the Star Dou Great Forest, at the bottom of the food chain, yet evolved unimaginable survival abilities.”
“Dream Eater: A nightmare existing in the caves of the Disaster Mountain Range, likes to act at night, seeks sleeping Soul Beasts and then absorbs their Spiritual Origin.”
“Blazing Ox: Lives on the July Fire Plain in the great wilderness, likes group actions, in long evolution, supplements internal energy consumption by eating flames.”
“Blood Wolf: Common wolf-type Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, entirely red, can boil blood to temporarily improve physical fitness.”
“Shock Axe: Axe-type Fantasy derivative, extracted axe concept from the sea of human unconsciousness, processed with spirit and bloodline to imbue vibration concept, thus Shock Axe is born.”
“Overlord Hammer: Hammer-type Fantasy derivative, extracted hammer concept from the sea of human unconsciousness, processed with spirit and bloodline to imbue aura concept, thus Overlord Hammer is born.”
“Hoe: Hoe-type Fantasy derivative, derived from…”
“Deep Sea Sinking Gold: Metal formed under a thousand meters of seabed, enriched with ocean essence, possessing vast characteristics.”
“Amber Spirit Gold: Special metal nurtured in amber, with heavy characteristics, good Soul Power conduction properties.”
“Sinking Silver: Metal condensed after thousands of hammerings, tough, easy to shape…”
Huo Yuhao saw the newly unlocked ability, a bit surprised, sat behind the medical clinic counter and began pondering this branch ability of the [Understanding] Authority.
This ability named Recording seems to have recorded all the Martial Souls and materials he has seen.
All Beast Martial Souls are recorded in the Illustrated Record in the form of Soul Beasts, while Weapon Martial Souls are interesting.
“Sea of human unconsciousness…”
The information revealed in the Illustrated Record is very important. Beast Martial Souls are direct embodiments of bloodline, while Weapon Martial Souls are actually processing of collective concepts!
Moreover, this time the [Understanding] Authority did not tease him. The moment the Recording Ability appeared, it informed him that the next stage is 20%.
After reaching 20%, it will unlock the next branch ability of the [Understanding] Authority—Replication.
Besides that, Huo Yuhao also noticed the words “Furnace” in the bottom right corner of the Illustrated Record.
After mentally touching the Furnace, a string of information appeared in Huo Yuhao’s brain.
“When [Understanding] Authority reaches 10%, different Martial Souls or materials in the Illustrated Record can be combined and fusion-forged.”
“Transmit the information after fusion-forging to the Martial Soul Carrier via Spiritual Power.”
Huo Yuhao was astounded on the spot, eyes widening.
“Does this mean that after [Understanding] Authority reaches 10%, I can create Martial Souls myself?!”
“Good, good, no more pretending.”
“But what is a Martial Soul Carrier?”
This Martial Soul Carrier is very interesting. The only thing Huo Yuhao could think of that can carry a Martial Soul is humanity itself.
With doubt, Huo Yuhao opened “Special Information (Part Two)”
“The gene burying Martial Soul mysteries is located on chromosome eight. Gene extraction information, bloodline makes it powerful, spirit gives it possibility.”
“If there is something that can carry Martial Soul information and has extremely strong diffusion and replication abilities, perhaps the information can be grafted onto chromosomes.”
“There is a Soul Beast in the Extreme North called Ice Demon Worm. Its way of killing prey is injecting a virus into the prey. The virus grafts genetic material onto specific DNA in the target’s body, then shreds its genes.”
“And the Ice Demon Worm itself is unaffected.”
“Ice Demon Worm…”
Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and silently recited this name. He had seen this Soul Beast in One Hundred Ways for Soul Masters to Die.
It is the nightmare of northern cities in the Heaven Soul Empire, able to stop children from night crying.
It is also the Soul Beast that Soul Masters fear most when entering the Extreme North to hunt for Soul Rings.
According to the book’s description, once bitten by an Ice Demon Worm, the Martial Soul instantly loses contact with the Soul Master, unable to even release the Soul Ring.
Can only barely sustain life operations with Soul Power. Once Soul Power is exhausted, the Soul Master dies from systemic rot.
Physicians in Dragon City of the Heaven Soul Empire gathered a large number of healing Soul Masters to study this worm for several years, including even Titled Douluo level healing Soul Masters.
But the result was that complete healing is impossible. Even Titled Douluo level healing Soul Masters can only barely keep them alive, and the Martial Soul is riddled with holes.
Despite being an Ice Attribute Soul Beast, it is still called the number one poison of the Extreme North. Fortunately, its activity range is small, only living in the southeast direction of the Extreme North, and it is very afraid of fire. Soul Masters have many countermeasures when encountering it.
“So the poison of the Ice Demon Worm is a virus!”
“Making one’s Martial Soul lose contact, it seems the opponent’s virus targets chromosome eight.”
“According to the special information, this virus should be usable as a Martial Soul Carrier.”
“The Extreme North is truly a treasure trove!”
Huo Yuhao realized that he must make a trip to this Extreme North.
Whether it is the Ice Empress, the Snow Empress who is transforming into human, or the Ice Demon Worm, they are all opportunities belonging to him that cannot be missed.
Huo Yuhao rubbed his forehead, suddenly remembering that killing Yu Hongzhi seemed to give another Lottery Draw chance.
But killing Chen Wen didn’t give one, probably because there was no Soul Power in his body. No Soul Power leading to mediocre spirit counts as lack of intelligence, so no Lottery Draw chance.
“Good, start the Lottery Draw!”
Now Huo Yuhao has extremely high expectations for the Lottery Draw. The previous draws were all useful good items.
Accompanied by the familiar golden light flashing before his eyes, in the rippling light, the name of an item began to emerge.
“Sister Yu Photo Album: Too stimulating, old iron! After seeing this, love brain and such will all leave your brain, and you will become a cold cultivation machine.”
Huo Yuhao instantly put on a pain mask. He hoped to single-mindedly go mad with progress on the path of cultivation.
But Sister Yu Photo Album and such is still too advanced. Even swimsuit photos he could look at with relish.
Sister Yu Photo Album… still too stimulating.
Looking at the magazine cover in his hand that was hard to keep straight-faced about, Huo Yuhao felt this thing’s mental impact was much stronger than Yu Hongzhi’s Soul Skill.
Coincidentally, Jiang Nannan happened to walk over.
“Clinic Master Huo, the soul-separating grass here seems to be used up. Shall I go buy some?”
Huo Yuhao hurriedly put this thing away into the Storage Soul Tool. Jiang Nannan puzzledly looked at the flustered Huo Yuhao.
“Clinic Master?”
“Cough, nothing, almost ruined my reputation.”
Huo Yuhao composed himself, looked at Jiang Nannan and said:
“Nannan, come here. I’ll give you some things.”
Jiang Nannan obediently walked over, then saw Huo Yuhao hand her a necklace.
“This is a Storage Soul Tool I obtained by accident, with thirty-six cubic meters of space inside.”
“I’ve stored some medical books inside, along with a Spiritual Power cultivation insight, a meditation method I’ve improved, and some pills for recovering Soul Power and injuries.”
“I count as half your teacher. Consider these gifts.”
Jiang Nannan took the Soul Tool, not particularly happy. She knew this was a gift before parting.
