Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 8 Sorry - No Soul Power Consumption

Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei stood guard over her.

Jin Liu sat down beside Huo Yuhao, mimicking his posture.

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. Why did he feel... his brain wasn't working properly?

While Tang Ya was absorbing the spirit ring, Bei Bei shifted her gaze from the somewhat simple-minded Jin Liu and looked at Huo Yuhao, asking with some curiosity.

"Brother Huo, why don't you retract your martial spirit first? Maintaining this form must consume a lot of soul power, right?"

He made this assumption subconsciously.

After all, the terrifying combat power that Jin Liu just displayed was almost comparable to that of a real century-old top-tier soul beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Logically speaking, wielding such a powerful martial spirit would require a massive amount of soul power.

He was worried that Huo Yuhao was too young and his soul power level was not high, so he would not be able to maintain it for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was taken aback for a moment, then understood Bei Bei's concerns.

He smiled and shook his head, explaining, "Brother Bei, you misunderstood. My martial soul is more of a special kind of summoning. Jin Liu... well, it's an independent entity that I summoned."

He organized his thoughts and continued, "Its usual activities, such as movement, attack, and defense, consume its own power and hardly involve my soul power. Only when it is initially summoned from the space will it consume some of my soul power, but that consumption is not too great. The same applies when it is recalled."

"what?!"

The gentle smile on Beibei's face froze instantly, replaced by extreme shock. He even wondered if he had misheard!
Summoning a dark gold dinosaur bear with independent combat power that doesn't consume the host's soul power?!

This, how is this possible? !
What kind of martial spirit exists in the world?! This completely defies common sense in the world of soul masters!

A thunderclap seemed to explode in Beibei's mind, buzzing and swirling, leaving only two words swirling wildly.

unbelievable!

This martial spirit is simply too overpowered!
He opened his mouth, and after a long while, he finally found his voice, almost blurting out, "Then...then doesn't that mean that if you, Brother Huo, cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo and have nine spirit rings in the future, you can summon nine terrifying spirit beasts like Jin Liu?!"

Just thinking about that scene sent chills down Beibei's spine!
An army of nine Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear-level Soul Beasts?

What kind of world-destroying power would that be?

Even a Super Douluo would probably have to give way!
Huo Yuhao found it somewhat amusing to see Bei Bei's stunned and bewildered expression, but he maintained his composure and nodded slightly, confirming in a calm tone, "Yes, theoretically speaking, you could say that. Each time you obtain a spirit ring, you get an extra beast taming slot."

"hiss--!"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Bei Bei couldn't help but gasp, and the way she looked at Huo Yuhao completely changed.

It was no longer about watching a talented junior, but about watching a future monster destined to stand at the pinnacle of the continent!

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Jinliu, seemed to understand that they were talking about him. It proudly shook its big head and even stuck out its tongue to lick its sharp claws.

"That's right, I'm just that awesome!"

Huo Yuhao sensed a hint of smugness in Jin Liu's expression and patted it helplessly.

This guy is strong, but his brain... he's like a complete idiot.

It took Bei Bei a while to calm his agitated emotions. He looked at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression, which finally turned into a heartfelt sigh: "Little Brother Huo, I finally understand why you had the confidence to refuse the Tang Sect's invitation. With such a martial soul, your future is indeed limitless, and you don't need to be bound by any sect."

He was now absolutely certain that Shrek Academy was probably just the starting point of this young man's legendary journey. A sudden thought struck him: such a genius absolutely needed to be recruited by the academy!

His attempt to win them over wasn't about directly enrolling them in Shrek Academy; that would only get them into the ranks of ordinary Shrek students.

He was thinking of the true Shrek members.

but……

With Huo Xiaodi's extraordinary talent, he probably wouldn't be enough.

He can't afford the price...

It seems I have to go back and tell Xuanzu that if the academy doesn't make good use of a genius like Brother Huo, it won't be enough.

Even if Xuanzu were to return, he would probably jump up in regret.

Bei Bei's heart was churning with emotions, but her face gradually regained its composure. However, when she looked at Huo Yuhao, there was an indescribable sense of importance in her eyes.

He chatted with Huo Yuhao for a few more minutes, and the topic subtly shifted to the local customs and some interesting anecdotes of Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao was happy to learn this information, and the two had a pleasant conversation.

Jin Liu, meanwhile, yawned listlessly to the side, his enormous head bobbing up and down as if he were about to fall asleep.

Not long after, the fluctuating soul power on Tang Ya's body gradually stabilized, and the deep purple soul ring finally merged perfectly into her body, pulsating steadily around her.

The three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—shone brightly, marking her official status as a Spirit Master!
"Success!"

Tang Ya suddenly opened her eyes, jumped up excitedly, her face beaming with joy and excitement.

Feeling the surging soul power within her and the newly acquired soul skills, she couldn't help herself and immediately opened her arms and threw herself into Bei Bei's arms beside her.

"Beibei! I did it! I'm a Soul Master now!"

Tang Ya hugged Bei Bei and jumped and shouted happily.

Beibei smiled and caught her, gently patting her back and saying in a doting tone, "Congratulations, Xiaoya."

The two embraced, surrounded by what seemed like pink bubbles, completely immersed in their own world.

Watching this scene, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch a non-existent stomach.

I'm so full...

Stop feeding this dog, it really can't eat anymore...

He silently turned his gaze to Jin Liu, who was already snoring softly beside him. Hmm, his own silly bear was more pleasing to the eye, at least he didn't flaunt their relationship.

It seemed that Huo Yuhao's somewhat resentful and helpless gaze was too obvious, and Tang Ya, who had been cuddling for a while, finally noticed the audience next to her.

She lifted her head from Beibei's arms, giggled, and teased, "Oh, Xiaoyuhao, are you envious? You're at the age where you should be looking for a girlfriend! How about I introduce you to some pretty senior girls at Shrek Academy? I guarantee they're talented and beautiful!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was immediately at his wit's end. He hurriedly waved his hands, shaking his head like a rattle drum: "No need, no need! Thank you for your kindness, Sister Xiaoya! Right now, all I want to do is cultivate and improve my strength. As for girlfriends... it's too early, too early!"

What a joke! He still has the pure and innocent Tang God King watching him from above, and his own strength is far from being fully developed. How could he have the mind to talk about love?

Besides, I, Ben Yuhao, am not such a casual person!
