Chapter 89: Martial Soul Awakening Day
“Level Nine Detection Isolation Soul Tool.”
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm scratched his head and said: “Soul Tool?”
“Alchemy is fine, but I really don’t know much about Soul Tools.”
“Is it someone from the Sun Moon Empire?”
Huo Yuhao nodded and said:
“Currently, all Level Nine Soul Tools on the Continent are only possessed by the Sun Moon Empire.”
“The Douluo Three Kingdoms struggle greatly even with producing Level Eight Soul Tools.”
Heavenly Dream couldn’t figure it out and said to Huo Yuhao:
“That’s strange. I remember there aren’t many rare metal mines near the Ice God Mountain Range in the Extreme North.”
“What are they after? That bird-shit-free Lake of Death?”
Huo Yuhao’s eyelids twitched. If Ameria heard this, she would probably boil with anger.
Such a huge petroleum lake—if they heard this, the next day it could be covered in mold.
“Yeah? What are they after?”
“Level Nine Soul Engineer, Level Nine Soul Tool, Extreme North…”
Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, suddenly recalling the Level Nine Soul Tool from the Starlight Auction at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament in the original work.
“Heh, Platform of Deification.”
“This Level Nine Soul Engineer’s purpose is really hard to guess.”
“It’s probably that unlucky Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast.”
“Lao Xue!”
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm’s big eyes were filled with doubt. He said:
“Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast?”
“Sun Moon Empire’s Soul Engineers want to capture a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast in the Extreme North?!”
“Then they’re probably doomed.”
“The core area of the Extreme North is different from other places.”
“The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts there are very united. Under the leadership of the Northern Three Heavenly Kings, any human who covets Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts will be killed!”
Huo Yuhao looked at Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm with some disbelief and said:
“Hiss, weren’t you also a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast back then?”
“What happened? In their eyes, are you considered a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure?”
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was immediately speechless. He didn’t know how to respond.
“Let’s ignore this sharp topic! In short, capturing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast in the Extreme North is no less difficult than going to the Star Dou Great Forest Core Area to steal Di Tian’s basket!”
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said to Heavenly Dream:
“Hard to say.”
“Tian Meng Ge, pay more attention to the spiritual imprint over there. Notify me immediately if there’s any unexpected situation!”
…
Five days passed in a flash. For heaven and earth, it was merely five alternations of sun and moon; for the world, just a blink of an eye. But for the residents of Xilu City, today was a big day.
As that lord from Enthusiasm Headquarters said, today all people in Xilu City aged six or above and under fifteen could participate in free Martial Soul Awakening!
During this time, the City Lord’s Mansion in Xilu City held public propaganda activities, informing all residents what Martial Souls are and what they are used for.
What benefits come after awakening innate Soul Power.
Many residents only now realized that the so-called Soul Master adults are people who awaken Martial Souls and then have innate Soul Power.
They previously thought these Soul Master adults popped out of rocks, born with sharp edges and corners.
Although they still only half-understood Martial Souls, they realized that as long as they awaken a Martial Soul with innate Soul Power, they could become Soul Master adults in the future.
And it’s free awakening too. Embracing the simple mindset of taking advantage where available, basically all the children in Xilu City came to the City Lord’s Mansion this day.
Huo Yuhao also got up relatively early this day. He planned to personally perform Martial Soul Awakening for these children.
Like a gacha game, Bai E and the others were guarantees. Huo Yuhao wanted to see if his luck could draw another gold card.
“Meow~”
The Shadow Cat didn’t know when it arrived, carrying a lunchbox in its mouth, squatting at Huo Yuhao’s door.
This proud cat never entered the master’s room without permission; it would only watch Huo Yuhao eagerly from the doorway.
Huo Yuhao put on his clothes: purple top, black fitted long pants, and that absolutely indispensable black trench coat!
He tossed a few fish into the Shadow Cat’s lunchbox, along with some precious fruits picked from Thunderclap Hellvine Canyon.
After the Shadow Cat finished eating, he let it climb onto his shoulder, scratched its chin, and said:
“It’s been a long time since I took you out with me. Let’s go, come draw cards with me.”
At this moment, not only Huo Yuhao was heading out; Bai E was hurriedly pulling Mademos out the door.
“Hurry up, Mademos!”
“Feng Jin and Ti Bao have already been to the City Lord’s Mansion!”
“We can’t be late!”
Mademos crossed his arms, golden eyes seeming to hide a lion. He said:
“Hmph, ‘late’ isn’t in my dictionary!”
Bai E scratched the back of his head, blue eyes showing some doubt.
“But Mademos, I’ve never even seen your dictionary.”
“Can you show it to me next time? I feel like you got scammed.”
“Your dictionary seems to be missing a lot of words.”
A vein popped on Mademos’s forehead. He punched Bai E hard in the chest and said:
“Let’s race to see who gets to the City Lord’s Mansion first!”
Bai E smiled and said: “Of course, partner!”
“I’ll count one, two, three, then we start running!”
“One!”
“Two!!”
“Three!!!”
Soon, one white and one red figure sped toward the City Lord’s Mansion.
Bai E and Mademos also discovered that since sleeping that nap five days ago, their stamina and strength had been rising rapidly!
Even Feng Jin and Ti Bao were the same.
Among them, Mademos had improved the most! He could run a hundred laps around the playground in one go and still only be slightly out of breath.
He could easily flip over several soul-powered orphans in the orphanage just with his strength.
Those orphans said Mademos’s strength was almost comparable to the former Big Sister Sui.
Keep in mind, Sui was a one-ring Soul Master with Taotie Bloodline.
One could only say that the Golden Lion King Martial Soul might be even more powerful than Huo Yuhao imagined.
As expected of a Martial Soul based on the Golden Mane Lion-Mastiff; Mademos would be the strictest father for all future assault type Soul Masters.
Bai E knew he wasn’t Mademos’s opponent right now, but he didn’t mind. He just enjoyed the feeling of running together with his partner; winning or losing didn’t matter.
If possible, he hoped these friends could always laugh together.
On the main street of Xilu City, everyone saw Bai E and Mademos and proactively made way for them.
These two guys were somewhat famous in Xilu City. Bai E had a warm heart and often took the initiative to help Xilu City residents solve problems.
In the mouths of these residents, he was a famously handsome young lad from ten miles and eight villages around.
Mademos often appeared with Bai E; as long as you found one, you could definitely find the other nearby!
Although Mademos was a bit arrogant, he was willing to accompany Bai E in helping residents solve various problems.
“Yo, it’s Bai E!”
“Going for Martial Soul Awakening? I bet on my ancestor Su Yuntao’s name that you definitely have innate Soul Power!”
“So, want to eat a steamed bun first? Free, no charge.”
“Consider it reward for last time you helped take care of little Ya.”
Bai E waved to the bun shop boss while running and said:
“Thanks, but no need, Uncle Su Yunhai.”
Bai E could no longer see Mademos’s figure at this point, but he kept running. No matter what, he always gave his all, especially for promises with friends!
Only upon arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion did he finally see Mademos’s figure.
The square at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion gate was packed with people!
Bai E felt there might be thousands of them!
Feng Jin and Ti Bao stood next to Mademos, tiptoeing to look for Bai E’s figure. When their eyes met, they waved at him, signaling him to come over.
Bai E jogged over excitedly without noticing the people nearby and accidentally bumped into a youth wearing a black trench coat.
Bai E hurriedly apologized to him first, then looked up and froze completely.
He became extremely excited, muttering unconsciously: “Such a handsome outfit!”
“Wait, aren’t you… Brother Huo… Huo Gu Shi!”
Huo Yuhao’s mouth twitched. He patted his head and said:
“It’s you, Bai E kid.”
“I’m Huo Qiang, courtesy name Gu Shi.”
“Just call me Brother Huo from now on.”
“You’re here for Martial Soul Awakening, right?”
Bai E nodded happily and pointed at Mademos and the others, saying:
“Yeah, everyone from the orphanage has basically awakened their Martial Souls. Mademos, Feng Jin, Ti Bao, and I came together for Martial Soul Awakening!”
Huo Yuhao gave him a kind smile and said:
“You will definitely awaken a powerful Martial Soul.”
Bai E nodded vigorously and said: “Yeah! Thanks, Brother Huo!”
“With a Martial Soul and innate Soul Power, I can definitely protect my companions, right!”
Huo Yuhao gazed at him like an artwork and said softly:
“Of course.”
tmd, got sent out again today to repair machines in Zhejiang. Went over and saw it just needed a restart. Didn’t even eat lunch. Should’ve gone to the power grid back then.
Still, thanks everyone for your subscription support. I bent over OzR
