Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, who lives in the Dragon King's body

Han Tianyi was very satisfied with Huo Yuhao. His disciple's spiritual power talent was terrifying, unparalleled throughout history. He would probably be the first genius in ten thousand years to come into contact with the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm.

Seeing that the two had something to say to each other, Sikong Hong left on his own.

"I didn't bring anything good with me this time, so you can use this storage soul tool first."

Here it comes, the first teacher of the classic texts will give you a storage soul tool.

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered.

This pattern seems to have become a tradition for apprenticeship in Douluo Continent ever since Yu Xiaogang took Tang San as his disciple. For example, Mang Tian gave Tang San the Silver Ring, and Tang Ya gave him a replica of the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon.

Of course, this is not something to be criticized.

Han Tianyi's soul tool was bracelet-shaped. After a quick scan with his spiritual power, Huo Yuhao discovered that it was not empty. For example, it contained some soul beast essence blood, as well as spiritual items such as Xuanbing Grass, Dragon Spirit Grass, and Whale Glue, all of which were of the hundred-year level.

—You say you didn't bring any gifts, but you've prepared everything perfectly.

That old man is being hypocritical.

However, whale glue… who knows if that woman will have any stress reaction. Although Huo Yuhao thinks probably not.

Seeing Huo Yuhao accept the bracelet, Han Tianyi's smile faded. "Good disciple, come, tell me what Xiao Si has taught you these past few days?"

"Teacher Si said someone would come to teach me, so these next few days I'll continue practicing the common meditation method and also take a look at the history books and information about souls in the Spirit Pagoda."

Huo Yuhao answered truthfully.

A look of satisfaction flashed in Han Tianyi's eyes. In the Douluo Continent, lineage is extremely important. If Sikong Hongzhen teaches Huo Yuhao the ultimate meditation method of the Spirit Pagoda, he will be a master in name only.

Xiao Si knows how to handle people; let's promote him later.

"Now I will teach you a Spirit Ice Meditation Technique."

"The Spirit Ice Meditation Method?"

Huo Yuhao raised a question at the opportune moment. In fact, he was indeed somewhat confused; he didn't recall leaving behind any Spirit Ice Meditation Technique.

"That's right, it was created by Spirit Ice Douluo based on the meditation method you're currently practicing." Han Tianyi nodded, explaining the origin of this meditation method to him. "You must be wondering, since it's a meditation method from the Spirit Pagoda, why is it related to the meditation method from the East Sea Academy?"

Huo Yuhao nodded.

In fact, he already understood at this point.

"In fact, apart from some powerful forces and reclusive families that cannot be identified, the meditation methods practiced on the continent are basically all created by Lingbing Douluo more than 10,000 years ago."

"According to the Emperor Heaven Tower Master himself, ten thousand years ago, the number of Title Douluo was extremely small. The entire Douluo Continent at that time could only be counted up to eighty Title Douluo, and among them, even fewer reached the Super Douluo realm. In our era, while Title Douluo are still among the top combat forces, there are quite a few. Our Spirit Pagoda alone has forty or fifty—and that doesn't even include the soul beast combat power of the Emperor Heaven Tower Master and his entourage."

As Han Tianyi spoke, he almost instinctively raised his chest, a proud expression appearing on his face. Whenever the Spirit Ice Douluo was mentioned, the people of the Spirit Pagoda felt a deep sense of pride.

Their ancestor was truly legendary! Even the Sea God Tang San could never compare to him on the same level. His achievements were incomparable.

Why is this era so prosperous? Why have humans and soul beasts developed such a friendly relationship? How did soul tools become so widespread among commoners without soul power? All of this is thanks to that ancestor who refused to become a god. He spent decades researching and guiding.

"And this is all thanks to Spirit Ice Douluo. He couldn't bear to see the world's geniuses trapped by meditation methods and unable to break through, so he went to Shrek Academy and various hidden sects to obtain various cultivation techniques. After ten years of hard work, he created a universal meditation method that almost every soul master knows now."

In fact, the martial art that Huo Yuhao released on the mainland is called Xuan Tian Gong. Although it is a censored version, he spent ten years completing some parts of it.

Although everyone criticizes Tang San, it must be admitted that his unchanging Xuan Tian Gong has something to offer. Of course, Huo Yuhao is referring to the version without removing the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and other related content.

However, Huo Yuhao certainly wouldn't want Tang San to gain a good reputation for doing good deeds, so he gave Tang San a name that he himself was a little embarrassed to recall back then.

Returning to the Xuan Tian Gong, after Tang San became a god, he left the Xuan Tian Gong to the Tang Sect on Douluo Continent as a legacy. However, the Xuan Tian Gong was emasculated, with the crucial part about connecting the eight extraordinary meridians removed.

This is also the root cause of the Tang Sect's decline. If they had knowledge of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, even if they had always relied on the Blue Silver Grass as their inheritance, they could have become Title Douluos by mastering it! After all, Tang San himself has admitted that his innate soul power came from the Xuan Tian Gong he cultivated before the age of six.

Even people without soul power can cultivate soul power!

Huo Yuhao thought this was good. Why were commoners bullied by nobles? This world was ruled by Soul Masters; if you didn't have Soul Power, you'd be scolded.

Back then, he promoted the practice of the New Mysterious Heaven Skill to ordinary people in every city. Although it didn't cover everyone, it wasn't far off.

Although no one realized that they could cultivate from a young age, Huo Yuhao respected their personal choices and would not specifically remind them. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Douluo Continent was ultimately limited. If everyone had the potential to cultivate, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would be completely absorbed by them.

If everyone could cultivate, then those at the top would ruthlessly exploit those at the bottom. Just imagine, even the dead would be exploited—how terrifying! You're not even qualified to be a Soul Master if you don't have money?

"It can be said that every Soul Master on this continent is grateful to Lingbing Douluo. Even if they are dissatisfied with the Spirit Pagoda, they will not hold a grudge against Ancestor Lingbing."

What kind of being was that? The era is too far back, and the accounts given by those people who lived during Lingbing's time are somewhat unreliable.

Whenever Han Tianyi thought of this great man, he only regretted that he could not live in the same era as him and see what kind of demeanor and noble character he had.

"Although some people will inevitably become selfish over time, thanks to the efforts of the successive masters of the Spirit Pagoda, the Federation eventually yielded, so it wasn't really a loss for them. Now, you can buy this meditation method at any Spirit Pagoda in the country for just one hundred Federation coins."

At this point, Han Tianyi was also surprised.

Even if someone grew up in an orphanage, spending 100 federal dollars to buy a meditation manual and benefit future generations wouldn't be difficult, right? Why did his disciple only learn it at the academy?

grass--

I almost gave myself away!

He cursed under his breath.

Huo Yuhao, seizing the opportunity, curiously pressed on, diverting his attention: "Teacher, is this meditation method really that miraculous? And what advantages does our Spirit Pagoda's meditation method have?"

Not bad, you're smart.

Han Tianyi nodded. If this meditation method was so miraculous, how could the Spirit Pagoda maintain its position as the number one power in the world? Although the Spirit Pagoda's status did not require pursuing military strength, who wouldn't have selfish desires to become the number one power in the world, to possess powerful military strength to ensure their safety, and so on?

If his disciples can't even be mindful of potential dangers in times of peace, and can't even think about what to do if others become stronger than them after learning this technique, then he needs to guide their thinking first.

"The characteristics of this meditation method circulating on the mainland are gentleness, continuous and resilient soul power, and the ability to open up the eight extraordinary meridians."

Opening up the eight extraordinary meridians was something few people could do even ten thousand years ago; many titled Douluo of that time had only opened up three of them.

The body's meridians are very fragile. Opening up the eight extraordinary meridians does indeed bring many benefits, such as increased strength, abundant soul power, and accelerated cultivation. However, it also comes with risks, namely, the possibility of a meridian ruptured by accident. Of course, this usually happens to those who are impatient for quick results.

The power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill is gentle; with slow and gradual application, it can naturally be opened.

"Ancestor Lingbing left the Spirit Transmission Tower a separate Lingbing Meditation Method. Its advantage lies in recording how to quickly and safely open the eight extraordinary meridians. Well, apart from that, it's not much different from other meditation methods."

"As long as we quickly open up the eight extraordinary meridians, we can take a long lead in cultivation speed. This can be considered as Lingbing Douluo giving the Spirit Pagoda special training." Huo Yuhao said. Everyone is using the same cultivation method (if we use other cultivation methods, we will be laughed at. Xuan Tian Gong is the number one cultivation method in Douluo, so don't try to compete). Therefore, the difference in skill level depends only on the individual and who opens up the eight extraordinary meridians first.

He left this behind to give the people of the Spirit Pagoda a sense of superiority: anyway, they trained faster and could win!

"I just never imagined that the humans of Douluo Continent were so incredibly stupid. It's truly regrettable that the Soul Beast race was defeated by them."

In the Divine Sea, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked utterly desperate.

This world is really hard to keep up with. Over the years, He has innovated many combat techniques and soul beast cultivation methods, but judging from Han Tianyi's attitude, he is still far ahead in the key to opening up the eight meridians.

Do people from other factions really eat stones?

The thought that these idiots in the original timeline could wipe out the soul beasts made even Tianmeng think that they were truly a pair of star-crossed lovers, destined for each other but both having a trashy future.

However, even if Huo Yuhao open-sources a lot more things, there won't be many geniuses who surpass the times in this era.

After all, if everyone cultivates, it's the same as if no one cultivates.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Tang Sect in Douluo Continent IV also open-sourced the Xuan Tian Gong, resulting in a huge number of extraordinary geniuses. That's not due to the Xuan Tian Gong itself. With the updates to this version of Douluo Continent, the world's strength has indeed been continuously upgrading, powerful bloodlines are constantly emerging, and the number of geniuses is also increasing with each update.

For example, Yuanen Huihui has the bloodline of an elven royal family from another planet; and Little Dragon God is the king of cheaters...

In general, this is a world where the newer the version, the more cheats there are. The difference lies in how many are used and how strong they are. Take Huo Yuhao's Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm cheat, for example. It was considered average in Douyu III, but in Douyu IV, it became practically useless.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao did not believe that the Tang Sect had declined for more than four thousand years ten thousand years ago, and that the Xuan Tian Gong had not been completely stolen and learned by the people of the mainland. This point was also confirmed after he plundered these major forces.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao only completed the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
