Chapter 175 The Dilemma of Soul Rings
Huo Yuhao went into seclusion for three months.
"Peak of level 39..."
Feeling his current cultivation level, Huo Yuhao frowned deeply.
Huo Yuhao thought he could get his fourth spirit ring before heading to the Sun Moon Empire, but he didn't expect to be stuck at the level 40 bottleneck.
Huo Yuhao had even done the thing of infusing his soul ring with the essence through Tianmeng, but he still couldn't break through the bottleneck of level 40.
With less than a month left before heading to the Sun Moon Empire, it's not enough time for Huo Yuhao to break through level 40 and obtain a soul ring.
"Could it be that we're really going to retrieve the Silver Moon Wolf King's spirit ring?"
Huo's fourth spirit ring comes from the Silver Moon Wolf King, which lived 30,000 years ago, and is called Mental Chaos.
Mental confusion can only affect one target at a time. As long as the target's mental strength is less than one-third of the user's, they will be in a state of confusion.
During the chaos, the target acts like a madman, attacking everything around it.
If the person hit has more than one-third of Huo Yuhao's mental strength, then they will suffer a mental attack caused by the instantaneous burning of their own mental strength. Depending on the level of their mental strength cultivation, the duration of dizziness will vary, and their strength will be greatly reduced.
Thinking about the description of Huo Yuhao's fourth soul skill in the original work, Huo Yuhao really had a headache.
The book written by Gong Chang is really unreliable. The indiscriminate attack effect of mental confusion only appeared once in the battle against the Golden Wolf King. The effect that appeared afterward was only stun control.
Is that much different from a soul impact? Besides, Huo Yuhao also has a self-fusion martial soul technique hidden away. This kind of single-target control ability will be eliminated by Huo Yuhao sooner or later.
Judging from the description in the text, burning spiritual power should be a major highlight, but is it worth risking your first quick casting slot for a soul skill with uncertain effects?
But which one should I choose for my fourth soul skill...?
Huo Yuhao couldn't find a suitable spirit ring. Looking at the spirit beast picture book in his hand, which was covered in curled edges, Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly.
It's no wonder that Shrek Academy reduced Huo Yuhao's importance after learning that he had a mental attribute. Given the rarity of mental attributes, there are even fewer soul beasts that can create unique effects, and most of them have roughly the same effect.
Moreover, Huo Yuhao didn't have any elemental talent, so he directly rejected soul beasts with the Silver Dragon bloodline that could control elements through mental power.
With another sigh, Huo Yuhao stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out of the secluded cultivation area.
In three months, with Mu En and the others' tacit approval, Tang Ya absorbed a lot of plant life force under the guise of training and broke through to level 50, while Huo Yuhao only rose from the early stage of level 38 to the peak of level 39.
Today is the day Tang Ya breaks through, and we are preparing to discuss which soul beast to choose for her soul ring.
Upon arriving at the Sea God Pavilion, only Elder Song, Elder Yu, and Elder Mu En, three elders of the Sea God Pavilion, were waiting there. However, Tang Ya's soul ring problem was unlikely to alarm the other elders.
"Yuhao, you're here. How did it go? Did you learn anything from the book I gave you?"
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Elder Yu greeted him with a smile.
Mentioning this makes Huo Yuhao angry. He wanted to continue pretending to be stupid, but Old Master Yu's move completely caught him off guard, leaving him unsure how to face Wang Dong.
After all, his relationship with Wang Dong might affect Tang San's attitude, and Huo Yuhao didn't want Tang San to pull any more tricks.
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at Elder Yu, then turned to Mu En beside him and said, "Elder Mu, you already knew?"
Mu En's smiling expression froze for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Huo Yuhao was saying.
Seeing Mu En's expression, Huo Yuhao guessed that Mu En hadn't instructed Elder Yu to do so, and that the two were not on the same page at the moment. He immediately continued to question him:
"Elder Mu, you couldn't possibly be unaware of the matter concerning the Goddess of Light Butterfly, so why didn't you stop it back then?"
Huo Yuhao's question made Mu En's heart tremble.
Based on the information he knew, he could easily guess that Huo Yuhao couldn't possibly be unaware of Wang Dong's gender, yet Huo Yuhao was pretending not to know...
Who exactly is Huo Yuhao putting on an act for?
This is the Sea God's Pavilion!
Mu En's smiling expression vanished, replaced by a calm tone: "Students have their own freedom, and we respect the choices of every student."
Huo Yuhao muttered under his breath, "But I also have my privacy..."
"What are you doing...?"
Yu Lao was also somewhat puzzled as he watched Huo Yuhao and Mu Lao speaking in riddles.
Suddenly, Tang Ya said, "The Goddess of Light Butterfly... Xiao Yuhao, isn't Wang Dong's martial soul the Goddess of Light Butterfly?"
"he?"
(Either you understand it as the difference between "ta" and "he" in the Douluo Continent language, or you understand it as being able to roughly sense the content of what is being said through mental power. Long live understanding!)
A glint flashed in Old Man Yu's eyes as he looked at Huo Yuhao with amusement.
Damn! This young man!
Through these few clues, Old Yu still managed to piece together a shocking revelation.
Mu En waved his hand, stopping the conversation from going off-topic: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You can settle your private matters privately. What we need to discuss now is what kind of spirit ring to choose for Tang Ya."
Old Master Yu stroked his long beard and said, "Yuhao, tell me your thoughts first."
Huo Yuhao nodded, took out a booklet and said, "The most pressing problem for Teacher Xiaoya right now is how to eliminate unclean things in time after consuming them. Therefore, choosing to expel or purify them is the most suitable approach for plant-type soul masters."
"This is also the core requirement for the effect of Teacher Xiaoya's fifth soul ring skill."
"In addition, we should try to create synergy with Tang Ya's existing spirit rings and the spirit rings she may have in the future. After thinking about it for a while, I think the Delicious Mushroom is the most suitable fifth spirit ring for Tang Ya."
"Delicious mushrooms..."
After reviewing the information about the King Mushroom in his mind, a hint of surprise flashed across Old Yu's face.
"How did you come up with the idea of this soul beast?"
Delicious mushrooms are a type of fungus that grows in swamps and are known as the liver of the swamp.
The delicious mushrooms grow in the very center of the swamp, feeding on decaying plant and animal carcasses, and thus accumulating large amounts of toxins.
Long ago, the Delicious Mushroom was called the Carrion-Eating Demon Mushroom. It wasn't until someone peeled open the Carrion-Eating Demon Mushroom's skin that they discovered an extremely tender and delicious mushroom beneath its highly poisonous exterior. Thus, the name Delicious Mushroom began to spread.
Later, a group of scholars learned of this information and conducted an in-depth investigation, discovering that when the carrion-eating mushroom secretes spores, it injects all the toxins into the spores, concentrating them on the surface, while the inner body is incredibly pure.
