Chapter 94: Vice Hall Master?
However, for Jing Hongchen, he had already lost the opportunity to obtain a soul spirit. After all, he already possessed nine soul rings. As for acquiring a tenth soul ring, he had never even dared to dream of such a thing in his lifetime.
"You can now test the power of your soul spirit," Huo Yuhao said to the young girl, while simultaneously deactivating his Simulation soul skill, allowing the aura of the Ice Empress surrounding him to dissipate.
The girl nodded excitedly, then commanded, "Attack that tree in front of us!"
Since the Evil Eye had formed an equal contract with her, it naturally understood her words. Moreover, with the Ice Empress's aura now gone though its lingering presence remained it was no longer as terrified as before.
The Evil Eye levitated, and a crimson beam of energy burst forth from its body, striking a nearby tree. With a crack, the tree was severed at its midpoint, and its upper half crashed to the ground with a boom, sending dust flying in all directions.
"Not bad, not bad at all!" Not far away, Xiao Hongchen's face lit up with excitement. "The Soul Spirit System is truly powerful! Having a soul spirit is like having an extra battle companion. And if someone has multiple soul spirits, wouldn't that mean they have multiple powerful allies?
I'm currently a Soul King. With Huo Yuhao's help, I should be able to obtain four powerful soul spirits in the future!"
Huo Yuhao immediately explained, "Brother Xiao, for most soul masters, there is a limit to how many soul spirits they can accommodate and how strong those soul spirits can be. This is directly tied to the level of their spiritual power.
So, if you only want to accommodate four weak soul spirits, that's easy. But if you want to host four powerful soul spirits, then your spiritual power must reach an extremely high level."
"Linked to spiritual power?" Xiao Hongchen's expression stiffened.
Even if he could consume special elixirs and resources provided by the Sun Moon Empire to boost his cultivation, increasing his spiritual power was still no easy task. While advancing in soul power did improve spiritual strength, there was still a gap between him and spiritual type soul masters.
For the first time, he felt a hint of envy toward Huo Yuhao.
After all, Huo Yuhao was a spiritual type soul master. In the future, he would inevitably form a spiritual type soul core. If, as Huo Yuhao claimed, the number and strength of soul spirits depended on spiritual power, then that meant Huo Yuhao would be able to accommodate more and stronger soul spirits than anyone else.
Jing Hongchen, standing nearby, also wore a thoughtful expression.
As a Titled Douluo, his spiritual power naturally far surpassed that of Xiao Hongchen. He had his own ideas about soul spirits as well.
However, when he thought about his own cultivation, his excitement quickly faded.
"I already have nine soul rings. I can't obtain a soul spirit anymore. What a pity I'll never get to experience the wonders of soul spirits in my lifetime."
With that thought, he turned to the gathered students and said, "You all have seen firsthand the marvels of soul spirits.
So I hope that none of you reveal anything about this without Huo Yuhao's permission. The value of soul spirits is simply too great. If word gets out, Huo Yuhao will undoubtedly be placed in the eye of a storm."
The students had already been carefully selected, so it was unlikely any of them would leak this information.
However, Jing Hongchen still needed to emphasize it. While revealing this information wouldn't physically endanger Huo Yuhao, he was concerned that Shrek Academy might take action.
After all, the shamelessness of Xuan Zi during the previous Continental Soul Master Academy Tournament was still fresh in his memory.
If Shrek Academy found out that Huo Yuhao was the creator of the Soul Spirit System, wouldn't they immediately lower their dignity and try everything in their power to pull him into Shrek?
Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's words, the students all nodded solemnly.
Before long, Huo Yuhao resumed helping more students obtain their own soul spirits.
Some time later, his expression showed clear signs of fatigue his task was finally complete.
He walked up to Kong Deming and said, "Elder Kong, I want to establish an organization centered around soul spirits, and I would like to request your assistance."
"An organization related to soul spirits?" Kong Deming pondered for a moment before nodding. "Very well. If you wish to establish such an organization, I will fully support you."
"Thank you, Elder Kong." Huo Yuhao smiled and then began explaining his vision for the Spirit Transmission Tower.
As for the structure of the Spirit Transmission Tower, he intended to largely follow the blueprint from the original story.
However, when it came to limiting the power of the Tower Master, he chose not to adopt the same restrictive system from the original.
After all, at this stage, the Spirit Transmission Tower would be one of his greatest assets, and he needed to ensure that he held absolute authority over it.
After a period of discussion, it was decided:
Huo Yuhao would serve as the Tower Master.
Kong Deming would take the position of Vice Tower Master.
Jing Hongchen would be appointed as a Council Member.
Among the students, those with spiritual type abilities would become "Spirit Transmitters."
At that moment, Kong Deming casually activated a soundproofing soul tool around them and said, "Yuhao, since you've invited me to join the Spirit Transmission Tower, I'd also like to invite you to join the Worship Hall as the Vice Hall Master!"
"Vice Hall Master of the Worship Hall? But I lack the strength…" Huo Yuhao was taken aback.
The Sun Moon Worship Hall was composed almost entirely of Rank 9 Soul Engineers.
Although the original story initially claimed that the Sun Moon Empire only had three Rank 9 Soul Engineers, this was likely due to outdated intelligence from Shrek Academy.
After all, the Worship Hall alone housed several Rank 9 Soul Engineers Kong Deming couldn't have been the only one.
Kong Deming waved his hand with a smile. "That's not a problem. Your contributions are immense. A position as Vice Hall Master is a small price to pay.
Even if the other Worship Elders find out, they won't object. The significance of the Soul Spirit System is simply too great.
For soul masters, the appearance of soul spirits is even more revolutionary than the creation of soul tools!"
Jing Hongchen, still inside the soundproofing barrier, was visibly stunned. "Vice Hall Master? Elder Kong, when did the Worship Hall even have a Vice Hall Master position? Are you creating this position specifically for Yuhao?"
"That's right," Kong Deming admitted without hesitation.
The truth was, he wanted to keep Huo Yuhao within the Sun Moon Empire at all costs. He wasn't going to hesitate when it came to investing in a talent like this.
Huo Yuhao nodded after a brief moment of thought. "Alright, I accept."
Kong Deming smiled. "Good. From today onward, you are officially the Vice Hall Master of the Worship Hall.
However, keep this a secret for now. When I return, I will convene the other Worship Elders to inform them of your position.
Additionally, I will arrange for them to dedicate some of their efforts to ensuring your safety.
Don't worry it won't be surveillance. They will simply eliminate any potential threats around the Royal Sun Moon Soul Engineering Academy, ensuring that your environment remains safe."
"Potential threats… Is he referring to members of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.
To be honest, the Holy Spirit Cult did not fear the Royal Sun Moon Soul Engineering Academy.
After all, Xu Tianran , the Sun Moon Empire's Crown Prince, was openly collaborating with the cult.
