Douluo: Reborn as a Dragon, I am the Lord of Soul Beasts

Chapter 73 Communication, Another Teacher
early morning.

A thin mist permeates the air, bringing with it a sense of coolness and moist freshness.

Huo Yuhao changed into casual clothes. The clothes made of ordinary materials made him look like an ordinary civilian child.

In the east, the sun had already shown half its face, and he had just finished practicing his Purple Demon Pupil. The progress of Purple Demon Pupil was the fastest among all his Tang Sect skills.

There are four realms of the Purple Demon Eye: comprehensive, subtle, mustard seed, and vast.

At this time, he had already entered the third realm, the mustard seed realm. This was achieved when he was able to study the ability to focus through mental detection, and he was also the first person in the Tang Sect to reach the mustard seed realm.

Even in such a short period of time, Huo Yuhao did not forget to continue training his eyes. His hard work really made others feel ashamed of themselves.

Huo Yuhao came to the academy gate so early to practice the Purple Demon Pupil. It was not that he had any special hobbies, but Ying Qian had someone inform Huo Yuhao last night that he would wait for him at the academy gate this morning, so Huo Yuhao simply practiced all night and waited at the academy gate early in the morning.

As it turned out, Huo Yuhao had indeed arrived a little early.

At dawn, the entrance to the academy was silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze. Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, practicing the Purple Demon Pupil. The practice of the Purple Demon Pupil required a high degree of concentration and perseverance, and Huo Yuhao never slacked off in this regard.

He recalled that when he met Ying Qian yesterday, he was greatly shocked. However, as Ying Qian was one of the most powerful people in the continent, it was a rare opportunity for him to meet him in person. Huo Yuhao knew that this was a great opportunity. Not only could he learn more knowledge and skills from Ying Qian, but he could also improve his own strength.

Time passed by bit by bit, the morning light gradually became brighter, and the entrance of the academy began to be busy. Students arrived one after another, and seeing that Huo Yuhao had been practicing here for a long time, they all cast curious and admiring glances at him. However, Huo Yuhao was still focused on his own practice, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

Finally, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the academy. Ying Qian walked over slowly, his eyes fell on Huo Yuhao who was sitting cross-legged, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. Huo Yuhao could naturally feel Ying Qian's aura, slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and respectfully saluted Ying Qian: "Senior Ying, good morning."

Ying Qian smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Yuhao, you've worked hard. You've come to practice so early. You're really a hardworking kid." His eyes were deep, as if he could see through Huo Yuhao's thoughts. "Do you know why I asked you to gather here today?"

Huo Yuhao's heart trembled, and he quickly asked, "Senior, if there is anything I can do, just tell me."

Ying Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry. Didn't I tell you that you are my student now, so you can just call me teacher. By the way, you are already level 40, right?"

Huo Yuhao was not surprised at all that Ying Qian knew that he had broken through to level 40. After all, during their meeting yesterday, Ying Qian had already discovered the existence of Alex and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. It was impossible for such a small matter as his specific soul power level to escape Ying Qian's eyes.

"Yes, teacher." Huo Yuhao answered awkwardly. For some reason, Huo Yuhao himself always found it difficult to accept the word "teacher".

"Yes." Ying Qian nodded and said, "Since you are level 40, why don't you go get your fourth spirit ring?"

Huo Yuhao said hesitantly, “Teacher, I have been looking for a soul beast that suits me, but I haven’t found one yet. As you know, I am a soul master who majors in the spiritual system. Soul beasts of the spiritual system are very rare, so I have been delayed until now.”

Regarding Huo Yuhao’s remarks, Ying Qian said, “What you said makes sense, but that was back when we were in Shrek Academy. Now you are my student, and this is the Sun Moon Empire. There is a race in the Demon Forest of the Sun Moon Empire that is very suitable for your Spirit Eyes martial spirit!”

“The Evil Eye Clan?” Huo Yuhao’s heart moved when he heard this. The Evil Eye Clan was quite famous among the soul masters. The reason was that the second one in the list of the ten fierce beasts was the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, the strongest soul beast of the Sun Moon Empire, and was regarded as the totem of the Sun Moon Empire. It was not an exaggeration to say that its mental power was the strongest on the continent.

“Well, it seems that you have quite a lot of knowledge. Let’s go! I will take you to get your fourth soul ring today.” Ying Qian was never more surprised that Huo Yuhao could tell about the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.

"Have you brought all the flying soul guides?" Ying Qian asked.

Huo Yuhao did not say much. A pair of plain grey wings opened behind him, and soft white light spewed out, pushing his body into the sky. Although he did not seem to be qualified as a level 6 soul guide at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy, how could he not have a flying soul guide?
Ying Qian nodded with satisfaction, and his figure also floated lightly in the air. The flying soul guide on his body had a unique shape, and the streamlined design emitted a faint blue light. It was obviously a high-level soul guide. Huo Yuhao took a look and secretly admired it in his heart, knowing that this must be an extremely precious soul guide.

"Follow me closely." Ying Qian's voice rang out in the air, and he then accelerated and flew away. Huo Yuhao followed closely behind him, and the two of them quickly left the academy and flew into the vast sky.

Flying high in the sky, Huo Yuhao felt a fresh breath coming towards him, and his mood gradually relaxed. He knew that the process of obtaining the fourth soul ring would not be easy this time, but with Ying Qian by his side, he was full of confidence.

During the flight, Ying Qian briefly explained today’s plan to Huo Yuhao: “I just told you about today’s mission. We are going to the Demonic Forest, the largest soul beast habitat in the Sun-Moon Empire. Only there are soul beasts suitable for you. When you arrive at the destination, you don’t have to save your soul power. I will follow you. You just need to search for soul beasts that are suitable for you. When you find a suitable target, just tell me and I will take him down.”

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched unconsciously when he heard this. With Ying Qian's strength, he was worried that Ying Qian would not be able to control his soul power and would kill him in one blow. Huo Yuhao still remembered the scene of the Taotie Bull's martial soul being pressed to the ground by Ying Qian.

“Got it, teacher.” After saying this, Huo Yuhao looked at the flying soul guide behind Ying Qian with some hesitation.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't hide it from me." Ying Qian keenly noticed the change in Huo Yuhao's mood and shouted in front of him without turning his head. Huo Yuhao hesitated for a long time, and finally asked: "Teacher, with your strength, you should be able to fly freely! Why do you still need to use something like a flying soul guide?"

Ying Qian chuckled, slowed down his flying speed, turned around and faced Huo Yuhao, his eyes full of meaning: "Yuhao, you are right. With my strength, I can indeed fly freely. But you have to understand that using a flying soul guide does not mean weakness, but rather a strategy and wisdom."

Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned and looked at Ying Qian in confusion: "Strategy and wisdom?"

Ying Qian nodded and explained, "Soul guides are the crystallization of human wisdom. Being good at using them can not only save soul power, but also catch the enemy by surprise in battle and break the enemy's prediction. Even the strong need to know how to use all available resources to improve their chances of winning."

Huo Yuhao nodded thoughtfully, understanding what Ying Qian meant. A trace of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he sighed, "Teacher, I understand. Using soul guides is not only for convenience, but also for better exerting one's own strength."

Ying Qian smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, Huo Yuhao, you can understand this, which shows that you have great potential. Remember, no matter when, do not underestimate any tools and means, they may become the key to your victory. Moreover, do not look at me with the traditional concept of soul master. Do you know why the Sun Moon Empire can have the strength to overwhelm the three major empires? It is precisely because of the technological development of soul guides. Yuhao, remember, soul guide technology is the crystallization of human wisdom. The current soul guide technology can only be regarded as just starting. When soul guides really develop at full speed, even those soul masters will not be able to ignore its existence. Self-righteousness, isolation and isolation will eventually be limited to the vision of the bottom of the well. Since you can come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy for exchange and study, I believe you can also understand the truth!"

Listening to Ying Qian's words, Huo Yuhao's view of Ying Qian was refreshed. He originally thought that a top soul master like Ying Qian would look down on the existence of soul guides like his teachers at Shrek Academy. But now it seems that the teacher in front of him has a more far-sighted vision! At the same time, Huo Yuhao remembered these words deeply and respected Ying Qian even more. He knew that he still had a lot to learn and improve. Maybe Ying Qian was not Huo Yuhao's first teacher, but Ying Qian would definitely be the best mentor in his growth.

"Okay, let's keep going." Ying Qian restarted the flying soul guide, and Huo Yuhao followed closely behind. The two flew through the air.

After the episode just now, Huo Yuhao obviously found something in common with Ying Qian, which was soul guides. The two of them kept chatting about soul guides along the way. Although Ying Qian didn't know much about soul guides, judging from Ying Qian's strength and the memory of the Dragon God he inherited, the current soul guides were still too weak.

Through some of Huo Yuhao's words, Ying Qian could instantly guess what Huo Yuhao wanted to say. He could even give Huo Yuhao some enlightenment from time to time with his own experience.

"Yuhao! I'm afraid you know that the purpose of my coming to the Sun-Moon Empire is to research artificial spirit rings." Ying Qian suddenly said.

"Artificial soul ring?" Huo Yuhao was shocked and for a moment he could not control the flying soul guide behind him and suddenly distanced himself from Ying Qian.

Ying Qian was not in a hurry. He waited for Huo Yuhao to catch up again before he asked, “Yuhao! What do you think of the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters?”

"Yuhao! I'm afraid you know that the purpose of my coming to the Sun-Moon Empire is to research artificial spirit rings." Ying Qian suddenly said.

"Artificial soul ring?" Huo Yuhao was shocked and for a moment he could not control the flying soul guide behind him and suddenly distanced himself from Ying Qian.

Ying Qian was not in a hurry. He waited for Huo Yuhao to catch up again before he asked, “Yuhao! What do you think of the relationship between soul beasts and soul masters?”

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and replied, “The relationship between soul beasts and soul masters is somewhat complicated. Soul masters rely on hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings to improve their strength. This relationship inevitably brings opposition and conflict. However, soul beasts are also part of nature and an important part of the world's ecosystem. Although the soul master's cultivation method is inevitable, we should also try to maintain a balance and avoid killing innocent people.”

Ying Qian nodded and looked at Huo Yuhao with deep eyes: "Your opinion is very insightful. That is why I am committed to studying artificial spirit rings. If we can successfully create artificial spirit rings, then spirit masters will no longer have to hunt spirit beasts, and it will also be able to effectively ease the conflict between humans and spirit beasts and maintain ecological balance."

Huo Yuhao's eyes sparkled with admiration: "Teacher, your idea is really great. If artificial spirit rings can be realized, it will be a great contribution to the spirit master world and the spirit beast world."

Ying Qian smiled slightly and continued, "However, it is not easy to study artificial spirit rings. It requires a lot of experiments and data support. This is why I need to come to the Sun Moon Empire, which has the most advanced spirit guide technology and experimental conditions. I hope that through hard work, I can achieve this goal soon."

Huo Yuhao nodded, and his respect for Ying Qian deepened. He knew how lucky he was to be Ying Qian's student.

Ying Qian looked at Huo Yuhao, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes: "Yuhao, I tell you this because I hope you can help me!"

“Teacher, you are so powerful now, how can I help you?” Huo Yuhao asked puzzledly.

Ying Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said calmly: "You really can't help me with anything that can be accomplished with strength. But Yuhao, you know it, and I know it too. You are not alone. Why don't you ask your other teacher about your research on artificial spirit rings? I think he should know what I need!"

Ying Qian’s words were already very straightforward. The other teacher he was talking about was none other than Alex within Huo Yuhao’s sea of ​​consciousness!

"Teacher, since you already know everything, I won't hide it anymore. I'm sure you can sense the existence of my other teacher. But regarding your invitation, I can't make the decision on my own. I need to ask my teacher before I can reply to you."

At this point, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to confront Ying Qian. He knew that he had no means to refuse Ying Qian's request. Ying Qian was able to talk to him properly, which showed that he respected Huo Yuhao's opinion.
