Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 199 Huo Yuhao's Soul Power Attribute Power Bank

Upon hearing Wang Yan utter such a seemingly impulsive and whimsical statement, Long You's eyes narrowed slightly. At that moment, Long You sensed the force of the world lines converging, or rather, he realized that this Douluo world was using various methods to move closer to the predetermined path in the original work.

In the preparation phase before the competition, knowing the plot, Long You, in order to turn this competition into an easy school trip, made various preparations almost to the limit of a Soul King-level evil Soul Master with the ability of Corpse Explosion. After equipping those preparations on the seven members of the Inner Academy's regular team through various means, Long You was very confident. In Long You's view, as long as the opponent was still that evil Soul Master, then this time the Shrek Academy Inspection Team would definitely not suffer any casualties or losses.

However, the thing that was least likely to change in Long You's mind actually changed in the end: a Soul King-level evil Soul Master became two Soul Saint-level evil Soul Masters.

This change rendered all of Long You's previous preparations futile. Faced with two Soul Saint-level evil Soul Masters, the Shrek Academy's main members, despite having adopted extremely cautious tactical arrangements, still could not avoid losses.

Although it was only a loss due to injury, rather than death, for the Shrek Academy team about to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, such an injury was essentially a permanent loss. Coincidentally, the remaining members of the Shrek Academy team were exactly ten, exactly the same as in the original world, the only difference being the remaining members of the main team.

However, to some extent, the remaining three inner court team members are actually weaker than in the original story. Replacing Ma Xiaotao with Gongyang Mo is a disadvantage in terms of combat strength. It's only because of Long You's presence that the reserve team's strength has greatly increased; otherwise, the Shrek Academy team would definitely be in a more passive situation in this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

When this situation arose, Long You didn't think much of it. After all, because the Long family of the Star Luo Empire was allowed to become the intelligence headquarters of the Sun Moon Empire, the Holy Spirit Cult invested more resources in the Star Luo Empire. Therefore, it was perfectly normal for them to notice the special nature of the Evil Soul Master's Death Hand and want to do something unsavory. It can be said that the entire development of events was in line with objective laws.

But if something that seems normal only happens once, then it is truly normal. But what if it happens repeatedly? Long You was reminded of this during a meal earlier, and now he pays close attention to the audience's abilities. This method of using coincidences to guide the development of things in the direction one desires is quite familiar to Long You.

With this awareness, Long You had already harbored some doubts about the Shrek Academy inspection team's battle. After all, in terms of sheer strength, the reserve team's improvement compared to the original story was roughly equivalent to Ma Xiaotao being stronger than Gongyang Mo within the team (assuming Gongyang Mo used a soul tool to transform into a soul master). With this addition and subtraction, the Shrek Academy representative team's strength was almost even.

Coupled with Wang Yan's seemingly normal but actually strange remarks, Long You couldn't help but be suspicious.

Long You had a fairly good understanding of Wang Yan's personality. This teacher was a pure theorist with a conservative streak. Although, in terms of team strength, it was entirely feasible for Shrek Academy to send only six members after Changning Academy was confirmed as their opponent, Wang Yan, as a conservative teacher who placed particular emphasis on the academy's reputation, would never normally do something so pointless and risky.

This is getting interesting. Is this a forced convergence of world lines, or is someone controlling the course of events? If the world lines are automatically repairing themselves, that's fine. But if someone is deliberately interfering, what's their purpose?

Forget it, I'm not going to think about it anymore. The crazy idea has already been brought up, and no one else seems to have any objections. I don't think this kind of thing needs to be forced into caution, so I won't change it. Not only will I not change the six-person lineup, but I'll also chime in to make things a little more interesting.

His brows relaxed, a somewhat comical look flashed across Long You's eyes, and he slightly curled the corners of his mouth as he said:

"Teacher Wang, I have an idea that I'd like to explore with your expertise. Would it be worth a try? If successful, it would significantly enhance our overall capabilities once again."

Perhaps his thinking was indeed affected by some unknown factor, but Wang Yan's qualities as a teacher remained unaffected. Now that Long You had suggested using his professional knowledge to make a judgment, Wang Yan naturally agreed without hesitation.

"Let's talk about it first. If there's not too much danger, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try."

"Teacher Wang, Yuhao's second martial soul attribute is Extreme Ice, but because Yuhao's strength is still weak, the power of the Extreme Ice martial soul attribute cannot be fully exerted. So, could we try to let Senior Sister Ling Luochen, who also has the ice attribute and whose soul power level is much higher than Yuhao's, borrow Yuhao's Extreme Ice martial soul attribute?"

If Yuhao can truly enhance Ling Luochen's attributes, then we'll essentially have an ultimate Ice Soul King.

In Long You's memory, this operation was one of Huo Yuhao's uses that had already been developed in the original world. However, in this world, perhaps because Long You significantly altered Huo Yuhao's fate, very few of Huo Yuhao's uses have been developed. Now that the conditions are right and the time is perfect, Long You is prepared to reveal Huo Yuhao's "power bank" attribute usage.

The only problem is that Long You's memory doesn't contain any specific instructions on how to use Huo Yuhao's attribute power bank.

"A very tempting idea, and it certainly has a chance of success, and most importantly, it doesn't seem dangerous. But how do we put it into practice?"

It's common knowledge that a Soul Master with the highest attribute far surpasses their peers in strength. Given Shrek Academy's current predicament and numerous difficulties, the addition of a Soul King with the highest ice attribute would be a godsend.

No matter how tempting an idea is, it's still just an idea. To turn an idea into reality, you need a method. However, this specific operational method stumped Wang Yan, who was known for his theoretical knowledge, when Long You's cheat code failed.

"Uh, Teacher Wang, I, as a student, don't really understand how to do this. But I think it's just a matter of Yuhao and Senior Sister Ling releasing their martial souls and their soul powers coming into contact with each other. Let's give it a try."

Long You spoke quite casually, giving the impression that he was using others as guinea pigs, which left the Shrek Academy students speechless. However, they had to admit that Long You had a point. With such a small sample size, it was impossible to say for sure what to do about the ultimate attribute martial soul.

"Then let's give it a try."

"I'm willing to give it a try."

At this crucial moment, Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao, as the participants in the experiment, both expressed their desire to give it a try. Although they hadn't shown it before, every student from Shrek Academy present was actually filled with worry about the academy's upcoming competition. Now that they suddenly learned of a way to enhance the academy's overall strength, they certainly wouldn't give up easily.

"Then let's give it a try. Based on my knowledge, if we just try the method Xiaoyou mentioned, there shouldn't be any danger."

However, just to be on the safe side, Le Xuan, you should still be prepared to separate the two of them at any time. Also, Bei Bei, release the Emerald Swan so it can be rescued immediately in case of an emergency.

"Yes, to prevent the uncontrollable extreme icy currents from occurring, Xiao You, you and Cai Tou should build a soul-guided shelter. During the trial, those of us with lower strength should all hide inside the shelter to avoid any unexpected situations."

Wang Yan naturally hoped that the academy's strength could be improved, so after careful consideration, he agreed to let Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao try. However, to prevent this act of kindness from turning into adding insult to injury, Wang Yan considered various scenarios and devised corresponding protective measures.

Setting up a shelter wasn't difficult; the key was to construct a sufficiently strong soul-guided barrier to cover the entire conference room. After all, no one knew whether the experiment would cause any major disturbance.

Firstly, alerting the other colleges on the same floor is risky; secondly, directly exposing something that could be used as a trump card to the public is not worthwhile. To be on the safe side, it's best to keep all the noise contained within this conference room.

About twenty minutes later, the entire conference room was enveloped in a double-layered barrier, and Wang Yan, Long You, and the other students all retreated into the shelter. Ling Luochen and Huo Yuhao had already released their martial souls and were holding hands; the next step was to merge their soul powers together.

"Are you ready? Given the difference in soul power levels between us, Yuhao, you need to protect your meridians."

Her expression remained cold and calm, but Ling Luochen, being a girl, was ultimately meticulous. Just before their soul powers were about to intersect, she reminded Huo Yuhao to protect his meridians.

"Don't worry, senior, everything is ready. But you must be careful not to resist, otherwise my soul power will have a hard time entering your meridians."

"Yes, I know."

After saying this, Ling Luochen took the initiative to release her soul power. Huo Yuhao, after sensing the soul power released by Ling Luochen, also relaxed his mind and body and let the Ice Emperor control the soul power in his body, which contained the extreme ice aura, and carefully began to release it.

The next moment, a chilling current that sent shivers down one's spine flowed out. The ordinary ice-attribute soul power, which had been lingering in Ling Luochen's palm for a short while, seemed to encounter a powerful attraction and suddenly rushed into the soul power with the extreme ice attribute, merging into one.

There were no dazzling special effects, nor any imagined conflicts; all that existed was the Ultimate Ice Soul Power, which seemed to have been replenished and expanded.

After a silence of about ten seconds, Huo Yuhao spoke first: "Senior, I feel that there should be no problem with these soul energies. They are fused together very well, and there are no signs of conflict."

"Besides, I can still control this ball of soul power now, can you, senior? If you can also control this ball of soul power, then it would be better if you took it back yourself."

"Yes, I can still control it, but only if you don't try to take control from me. Get ready, I'm going to take back this ball of soul power."

As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by Ling Luochen's deep breath, the ball of soul power that had at least on the surface appeared to have been completely assimilated into the ultimate ice attribute soul power re-entered Ling Luochen's meridians.

It was still peaceful, without any dazzling sound or light effects. The process of soul power recovery was uneventful, and only Ling Luochen himself noticed the change.

"Yuhao, continue to provide the ultimate ice attribute soul power. I think we should be on the verge of success."

After pausing for two breaths, Ling Luochen spoke, her voice trembling slightly.

As a Soul Master with a good grasp of his own situation, even though the Soul Power absorbed into his body was only a very small clump, Ling Luochen still keenly noticed the changes that this small clump of Soul Power brought to him.

As soon as Ling Luochen finished speaking, Huo Yuhao on the other side seemed to have also received some news from the Ice Emperor. A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and a large amount of extreme ice attribute soul power began to surge directly into Ling Luochen's body.

This time, the changes in Ling Luochen were much more obvious. Even through the isolation barrier of the shelter, Long You and the others could feel Ling Luochen's suddenly sharper aura.

"The temperature has dropped."

Using a thermometer placed outside the shelter, Long You keenly noticed that the temperature in the entire conference room was dropping.

About two minutes later, Ling Luochen, who had closed his eyes at some point, opened them again. In that instant, even though they were in the shelter, Long You and the others could clearly feel the change in temperature.

Ling Luochen's first and second spirit rings flashed in succession, and a staff that was much more crystalline than usual appeared in his hand. The next moment, thick frost quickly covered the entire conference room (the walls of the spirit guidance barrier).

"This feeling is simply wonderful. I think I understand why Soul Masters with extreme attributes have an overwhelming advantage when facing Soul Masters with ordinary attributes."

It was clear that Ling Luochen was very excited, but this Shrek Academy student with strong mental fortitude maintained her calm tone.
