Douluo: The True Eye

#73 - Reach a tacit understanding

Huo Yuhao could feel that, along with the 'awakening' of these Fear Demon Dragon skulls, the yellow mental power flames flickered within those dark eye sockets, and the vast mental powers were interlinked with each other.

It was as if a huge cage had been formed, wanting to imprison Huo Yuhao, who had disturbed them, within it. Moreover, this mental cage was constantly squeezing inward, attempting to oppress Huo Yuhao's spirit.

Besides this, within this huge mental cage, there was also an abundance of mental power that could stir up the most primitive emotions of fear in living beings.

These mental powers were constantly trying to influence Huo Yuhao's heart.

However, after this process lasted for about a few minutes, Huo Yuhao simply looked around, examining the surrounding room and skulls.

As well as Mu En, who was still outside the tunnel, communicating and influencing the other six people through his mental power. Huo Yuhao could see through the Eye of Reality that Mu En was currently paying attention to him, but he didn't speak.

Now that he had arrived here, Huo Yuhao didn't plan to continue hiding. After all, the more he hid, the more he would expose. Appropriately revealing some 'trump cards' could instead deceive others.

'How does it attract fear?' Huo Yuhao was currently using his Eye of Reality to analyze the mental power waveforms formed by the residual mental power of the thousand Fear Demon Dragons after their deaths.

Through Huo Yuhao's observation, the structure displayed by these so-called skulls, which only retained residual mental power after their 'natural death,' revealed that...

Apart from some skulls that were indeed from natural deaths, most of the Fear Demon Dragon skulls were faintly entwined with patterns formed by different kinds of soul power.

Their potential and lifespan were at least at the ten-thousand-year level for soul beasts. Even if they died naturally due to injuries, it would still take at least a thousand years.

And the fact that Shrek Academy could collect one thousand and one 'naturally deceased' Fear Demon Dragon skulls in just eight hundred years already said a lot about the problem.

On the Douluo Continent, ten thousand years after the ascension of the Seven Gods, the descendants of the Fear Demon Dragon were only recorded in the outer courtyard library of Shrek Academy as having a small number remaining in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the total number would definitely not be large.

Let's put this matter aside for now. After all, to be honest, in Huo Yuhao's view, there was no so-called right or wrong in this kind of practice. In a world where the strong preyed on the weak, strength was right, and weakness was wrong. The Fear Demon Dragons weren't strong enough, and it was only normal that they were targeted and exterminated due to their special nature.

And now, apart from those 'colors' that were the same, waveforms that were similar, and mental power fluctuations that were found to be derived from the Fear Demon Dragons themselves through the analysis of the Eye of Reality...

Huo Yuhao observed that within this huge mental cage that enveloped him, there were actually many mixed and redundant mental powers.

It wasn't that these redundant mental powers were insidious and difficult to dispel.

Rather, the 'colors,' strengths, and levels of these mental powers were all different, but without exception...

These mental powers all emitted waveforms symbolizing 'fear,' and the mental pressure exerted by these Fear Demon Dragon skulls now...

In reality, it was using mental power to squeeze these mental powers with 'fear' emotions into the spirit sea of the affected person.

Subsequently, through the double impact of external mental power and external 'fear' emotions, it disrupted, deceived, and drew out the fear in the affected person's heart.

This should be the operating logic of the Fear Demon Dragon's innate ability. As for where the fear experienced by the first creature hunted by the Fear Demon Dragon came from?

Huo Yuhao guessed that it should originate from the Fear Demon Dragon's own fear emotions.

Because Huo Yuhao discovered that at the bottom of all those redundant fear emotions...

The level and 'color' of the mental power were the same as that of the Fear Demon Dragon, and they were connected to each other, but the waveforms were different, emitting fear emotions.

Because perhaps some people's hearts are firm enough to suppress their own fear emotions, remaining calm even when Mount Tai collapses before them.

However, when someone uses fear as a weapon, forcibly penetrating the mental will of the attacked person, then the confrontation between spirit and spirit will shake the attacked person's heart.

Even if they could have originally calmly suppressed their own distracting thoughts and fears, they would now be drawn out, the fear that was originally buried in their hearts.

'That's quite interesting, but if it's only to this extent, then the analysis is almost complete.' Huo Yuhao thought so. Although he didn't activate the secondary awakening form of his Martial Soul...

But after the secondary awakening, the mental power that had risen to the level of tangible and intangible was already enough for the Eye of Reality to complete the analysis faster and more accurately.

'Afterwards, I can also use mental power to simulate and achieve the Fear Demon Dragon's innate ability effect. It seems that I don't need to consider the Fear Demon Dragon for the third soul ring.'

At the same time, Huo Yuhao also heard Mu En's voice. His old voice echoed in the room.

"Old man originally thought that I had always overestimated you, child, but I didn't expect that old man was ultimately wrong."

Along with the echo of the voice, the mental flames of the Fear Demon Dragons, which had been stimulated and awakened by the intrusion of outsiders, began to dim and extinguish one by one.

That's not accurate to say, it's more like the intrusion of external mental power forcibly put them into hibernation and sleep, in order to preserve the remaining mental power.

After all, for Huo Yuhao, the mental pressure of these Fear Demon Dragons, whether as a training or to exert influence on him, was completely inadequate. After the secondary awakening, Huo Yuhao's mental power had reached the level of tangible and intangible.

Although it was only that the level of mental power met the standard, the accumulation of Huo Yuhao's own mental power was still far from the normal tangible and intangible, but it was more than enough to protect himself.

And wanting to collect these Fear Demon Dragon skulls, even with secret methods, was not simple. Rather than continuing to waste the mental power remaining in them...

It was better to put them away earlier, so Mu En took action and forcibly put the mental power in the Fear Demon Dragon skulls here into hibernation. After all, these things were rootless water and would constantly be depleted.

"I didn't expect that your mental power has actually reached this level now." Mu En said regretfully, while secretly sighing in his heart.

It's a pity that I didn't discover Huo Yuhao's talent earlier. Although he is still immature, this seed has already sprouted. It's not going to be easy to interfere now.

Although I understand that this accumulation of spiritual power could not possibly be achieved by Huo Yuhao's own efforts as a two-ring Great Soul Master through steady practice.

There must be many fortuitous encounters involved, because in my eyes, your spiritual power quantity is still insufficient, but your level is already extremely high. Many weaker Title Douluos are not as spiritually advanced as you.

This cannot be explained by just a spiritual attribute soul. Since your soul is a Body Soul, then I believe that your Body Soul has already completed a second awakening by chance, and its level must be extremely high.

Huo Yuhao, do you agree with what I said?

Huo Yuhao did not deny it, but nodded.

After all, although the secret method of the second awakening of the Body Soul has always been strictly guarded by the Body Sect.

But where there is one, there is two. The Body Sect's second awakening secret method was also created by the first generation Body Douluo of the Body Sect.

It is not impossible for Huo Yuhao to complete the second awakening of his Body Soul on his own.

On the contrary, if Huo Yuhao's spiritual power level was not a transformation completed because of the second awakening of his Body Soul, it would be unimaginable.

What kind of rare treasure could allow a two-ring Soul Master to complete the transformation of spiritual power to the level of tangible and intangible?

At this time, Mu En only felt regret. What a good seedling this is. How wonderful it would be if he belonged to my Shrek Academy.

But now that Huo Yuhao's spiritual power level has reached such a point, Mu En's original plan to use the fear environment created by the Fear Demon Dragon's spiritual power to exert pressure.

At the same time, supplemented by his words and spiritual power to guide him, in order to interfere with Huo Yuhao's future path, so that Huo Yuhao would be loyal to Shrek Academy, has also fallen through.

The second awakening of the Body Soul, if it is not a direct descendant of the Body Sect, can only mean that Huo Yuhao's Body Soul level was extremely high from the beginning, and his talent and opportunities are even better.

Now that what's done is done, it is no longer possible for Mu En to subtly interfere with Huo Yuhao's spiritual power level. It would be better not to force influence.

After all, the best result of Mu En's forced influence would be that he would use the quality of his spiritual power to forcibly suppress Huo Yuhao and instill in him the idea of being loyal to Shrek Academy.

But in this way, Huo Yuhao's greatest advantage, his spiritual talent, would definitely be ruined.

Because only when Huo Yuhao's spiritual power is suppressed by Mu En can Mu En ensure that Huo Yuhao follows his ideas and takes the path that he needs Huo Yuhao to take.

But in this case, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power would at most remain at its current level and would not improve. For a Soul Master whose main talent is spiritual power, it would undoubtedly be a waste.

A worse result would be that Huo Yuhao's spiritual power could not withstand his pressure, and at the same time, he would not be willing to be influenced by Mu En.

In the end, he would choose to perish together, and die in vain. Then, losing a genius for no reason would not be a good thing. After all, not making a profit is a loss.

As for the worst result, it is that Huo Yuhao's second awakening of the Body Soul has great opportunities behind it. It may be a strong man's inheritance, or it may be an ancient legacy, or even a god's trial.

In this case, if Mu En goes to exert influence on Huo Yuhao through strong-arm tactics, it may backfire and cultivate a young enemy for Shrek Academy who is immortal and has terrifying potential. This is even more of a bad choice.

Moreover, based on Mu En's previous observations and understanding of Huo Yuhao, if he does not interfere through external forces, Huo Yuhao's sense of belonging to Shrek Academy is not very deep, so it is difficult to subdue him.

Rather than that, since he cannot be subdued, and it is also impossible to guarantee Huo Yuhao's loyalty, it is better to give him some benefits first, stabilize him, and then negotiate with the Body Sect.

After all, such a genius is definitely not allowed to be abandoned by the Body Sect. At that time, he will be able to forge a good relationship with Huo Yuhao, a future powerhouse.

It can also ease the relationship with the Body Sect, and even find a way to obtain some 'thank you gifts' from the other party. Exchange of interests, this is the perfect solution that Mu En can think of now.

With this in mind, Mu En continued: "Then can you let me see your soul after the second awakening? Apart from the Body Sect, I have never seen a second awakening of the Body Soul on an outsider."

Huo Yuhao politely declined: "I'm sorry, the price of launching the second awakening of the soul is quite high, and it damages vitality. If it's just for viewing, please don't embarrass me, Elder Mu."

After saying that, Mu En didn't say anything more. After all, the soul is indeed a personal privacy, and he didn't mean to continue to ask. He said: "Since this place is not suitable for you, then Yuhao, you come out first, and I will take you to another room."

"Although that room is not suitable for spiritual attribute Soul Masters, it has many uses and has many benefits for Soul Masters' cultivation and precipitation."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was a little confused about what kind of medicine this old fox Mu En was selling in his gourd, but since the other party had already pointed it out, then Huo Yuhao naturally didn't need to continue pretending.

"Elder Mu, one should not accept rewards without merit, not to mention that after graduating from the outer courtyard, I don't plan to continue to enter the inner courtyard for further study, but plan to travel to various countries on the mainland to broaden my horizons."

"It doesn't matter, you are still a student of our Shrek Academy. As a teacher, I naturally have to treat everyone equally."

"Your partners enjoy the same treatment. As one of the Shrek Seven Devils of this generation, you should naturally enjoy it too. As for the matter after graduation, let's wait until graduation."

"After all, today, you are still from my Shrek Academy, even if you go to various countries on the mainland, you can still call yourself this identity."

"If you are interested in the Body Soul, I can also act as a liaison to contact the hidden sect, the Body Sect. You should know the Body Sect, although its reputation is not obvious."

"But you, who were called 'librarian' by your classmates in the first grade, should also have some understanding of it."

Huo Yuhao nodded and no longer declined. Now he naturally understood what Mu En meant and reached a tacit understanding with the other party.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Elder Mu."
