Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 30: Records and the Forge (Please continue reading)

"With a 5% understanding level, branch ability records will be unlocked."

"Current record: Soft-boned Rabbit: A rabbit living in the Star Dou Great Forest, located at the bottom of the food chain, but has evolved unimaginable survival abilities."

"Dream Eater: A nightmare that exists in the caves of the Cataclysmic Mountain Range. It prefers to move at night, seeking out sleeping soul beasts and then absorbing their spiritual essence."

"Blazing Bull: They live on the July Fire Plains of the Great Wilderness, prefer to act in groups, and have replenished their energy by consuming flames over a long period of evolution."

"Blood Wolf: A common wolf-type soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. It is entirely red and can boil its blood to temporarily improve its physical attributes."

"Shaking Axe: A fantasy derivative of the axe, it is derived from the concept of the axe extracted from the sea of ​​human unconsciousness, and after being processed by the spirit and bloodline, it is given the concept of vibration, thus the shaking axe was born.

"Tyrant Hammer: A fantasy derivative of hammers, the concept of hammers was extracted from the sea of ​​human unconsciousness, and after being processed by spirit and bloodline, it was given the concept of power, thus the Tyrant Hammer was born."

"Hoe: A fantasy derivative of hoes, derived from..."

"Deep-sea gold: A metal formed from the essence of the ocean, located a thousand meters below the seabed, possessing vast and unique properties."

"Amber Spirit Gold: A special metal nurtured in amber, possessing a heavy nature and excellent soul power conduction properties."

"Sinking silver: A metal concentrated through countless hammer blows; it is tough and easily shaped..."

Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised to see the newly unlocked ability. He sat behind the counter of the clinic and began to ponder this branch ability of the [Understanding] authority.

This ability, called Record, seems to have recorded all the martial spirits and materials it has ever seen.

All beast spirits are recorded in the catalog as spirit beasts, but weapon spirits are more interesting.

"The sea of ​​human unconsciousness..."

The information revealed in the catalog is very important: Beast Martial Souls are a direct manifestation of bloodlines, while Weapon Martial Souls are actually a processing of the concept of a collective!
Moreover, this time the authority of [understanding] did not keep me in suspense. The moment the recording ability appeared, it informed me that the next stage was 20%.

Once you reach 20%, you will unlock the next branch of the [Understanding] authority – Reproduction.

In addition, Huo Yuhao also noticed the word "furnace" in the lower right corner of the catalog.

After making contact with the furnace with his mind, a series of information appeared in Huo Yuhao's brain.

"When the [Understanding] Authority reaches 10%, you can combine and forge different martial spirits or materials from the catalog."

"Transmit the information after fusion and forging to the martial spirit carrier through mental power."

Huo Yuhao was immediately astonished, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"Does this mean that once my [Understanding] Authority reaches 10%, I can create my own Martial Soul?!"

"Fine, fine, we're not going to act anymore."

"But what exactly is a Martial Soul vessel?"

This martial soul vessel is very interesting. The only thing Huo Yuhao can think of that can support a martial soul is the human body itself.

Filled with doubt, Huo Yuhao clicked on "Special Information (Part Two)".

"The gene that holds the secrets of a martial spirit is located on chromosome eight. The gene extracts information, the bloodline makes it powerful, and the spirit gives it the potential."

"If there were something that could carry the information of a martial soul and have an extremely strong ability to spread and replicate, perhaps it would be possible to graft the information onto chromosomes."

"In the far north, there is a soul beast called the Ice Demon Worm. It kills its prey by injecting a virus into it. The virus grafts genetic material into the target's DNA and then tears apart its genes."

"The Ice Demon Worm itself is unaffected."

"Ice Demon Worm..."

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and silently recited the name. He had seen this soul beast in "One Hundred Ways for Soul Masters to Die".

This is a nightmare for the northern cities of the Heavenly Soul Empire, capable of stopping children from crying at night.

It is also the kind of spirit beast that spirit masters who venture into the far north to hunt for spirit rings fear the most. According to the book, once bitten by the Ice Demon Worm, the spirit will instantly lose contact with the spirit master, and even the spirit ring cannot be released.

They can only barely sustain their life with their soul power. Once their soul power is exhausted, the soul master will die from systemic ulceration.

Physicians in Dragon City of the Heavenly Soul Empire gathered a large number of healing soul masters to conduct research on this worm for several years, including healing soul masters at the Title Douluo level.

However, the result was that a complete cure was impossible. Even a healing soul master at the Title Douluo level could only barely keep the patient alive, and the martial soul was riddled with holes.

Despite being an ice-attribute soul beast, it is still known as the most poisonous creature in the far north. Fortunately, this worm has a small range of activity, living only in the southeast of the far north, and it is very afraid of fire, so soul masters still have many ways to counter it.

"The Ice Demon Worm's poison is actually a virus!"

"To make someone lose contact with their martial spirit, it seems that the virus targets chromosome eight."

"Based on the meaning of the special information, this virus should be able to serve as a carrier of martial spirit."

"The far north is truly a treasure trove!"

Huo Yuhao realized that he had to make a trip to this far north.

Whether it's Hyotei, the Snow Emperor who is transforming into a human, or the Ice Demon Worm, each one represents an opportunity that shouldn't be missed.

Huo Yuhao rubbed his forehead, suddenly remembering that killing Yu Hongzhi seemed to have given him a chance to win a lottery.

However, killing Chen Wen did not yield any prizes, presumably because there was no soul power within his body. The lack of soul power resulted in a mediocre spirit, which is considered as a lack of intelligence, thus preventing him from obtaining lottery chances.

"Alright, let's start the lucky draw!"

Huo Yuhao now has extremely high expectations for the lottery, as he has won some useful items in the previous few draws.

As a familiar golden light swept past, the name of an item began to emerge amidst the shimmering light.

"Sister Yu's photo album: Want to show off, bro! After seeing this, all your romantic fantasies will leave your brain, and you'll become a ruthless training machine."

Huo Yuhao immediately put on the Pain Mask, hoping to focus wholeheartedly on making rapid progress in his cultivation.

However, Rain Sister's photobooks and such were still too ahead of their time; even swimsuit Chiyo was something he could enjoy looking at.

Sister Yu's photoshoot... is still a bit too flamboyant.

Looking at the magazine cover in his hand, which was so unsettling, Huo Yuhao felt that the mental impact of this thing was much stronger than Yu Hongzhi's soul skill.

As luck would have it, Jiang Nannan happened to walk by.

"Master Huo, it seems we've run out of Soul-Separating Grass here. Shall I go buy some?"

Huo Yuhao hurriedly put the thing back into his storage soul tool, and Jiang Nannan looked at the flustered Huo Yuhao with a puzzled expression.

"Master?"

"Cough, it's nothing. I almost ruined my reputation."

Huo Yuhao straightened his expression and looked at Jiang Nannan, saying:
"Nannan, come here for a moment, I have something for you."

Jiang Nannan walked over obediently and saw Huo Yuhao hand her a necklace.

"This is a storage soul tool that I obtained by chance. It has a space of thirty-six cubic meters."

"I have stored some medical books, a mental cultivation manual, a meditation method I improved, and some pills to restore soul power and heal injuries inside."

"I consider myself half your teacher, so please accept these as gifts."

Jiang Nannan accepted the soul tool, but she wasn't particularly happy. She knew it was a gift before their parting.
