Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 196: Tang Ya on the List

“Reward: Martial Soul perfected into Blood Crystal Dragonscale Grass, all current Soul Rings upgraded to 100,000 years, meridians unblocked.”

Golden light descended once more. In the Sunset Forest, Tang Ya, receiving the reward, involuntarily released her Martial Soul. Two finger-thick Blood Crystal Blue Silver Grass spiraled and grew in her palm. Subsequently, four Soul Rings—two yellow, one purple, and one black—floated up from beneath her feet.

The four Soul Rings began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye. First, the first two yellow rings turned purple, followed by the third purple ring turning black. Then, the first two purple rings quickly turned black as well.

After a moment, a faint red appeared on the fourth Soul Ring, but this red rapidly deepened. It only took a few blinks of an eye for the light red to become completely blood red. Afterward, the remaining three Soul Rings followed suit.

Even if Tang Ya didn't have Soul Bones, those large families, major sects, and nobles would be very willing to nip such a genius in the bud.

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. It was his lack of consideration. He should have had Tang Ya consume the Immortal Herb later. He always felt that getting involved with the God Ranking wasn't a good thing.

Just a Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, how did it turn a noob support into a phoenix?

Suddenly, Huo Yuhao abruptly looked up at Tang Ya, or rather, at the Blood Crystal Blue Silver Grass in Tang Ya's hand. No, it should now be called Blood Crystal Dragonscale Grass.

On the surface, the change wasn't very significant. Compared to the Blood Crystal Blue Silver Grass, the leaves of the Blood Crystal Dragonscale Grass had some patterns. These patterns combined resembled the scales of some kind of animal.

This wasn't the main point. The main point was that Huo Yuhao felt immense pressure from this Blood Crystal Dragonscale Grass. His Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul was trembling.

Could it really have something to do with a dragon? Huo Yuhao couldn't help but let his imagination run wild. He knew that his Martial Soul wasn't an ordinary Ice Jade Scorpion, but the Emperor of the Ice Jade Scorpions, from the Ice Emperor who was infinitely close to 400,000 years of cultivation.

Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, Blood Dragon, Dragonscale Grass, Huo Yuhao already had a guess in his heart.

The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was very weak, extremely weak, but because of this, it was also very easy to change and had extremely strong plasticity. This plasticity was very obvious in the Soul Rings. For example, Tang Ya's first Soul Ring was taken from a snake-type Soul Beast, so she possessed the basic ability of a snake—entanglement.

The second Soul Ring, the Ghost Vine Soul Skill, was the Ghost Vine's innate skill—parasitism. The third Soul Ring was taken from the Man-Faced Demon Spider, which was the spider-type Soul Beast's essential skill—Spider Web Restraint.

From this, it could be seen that the plasticity of the weak Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was extremely strong. Blue Silver Grass Soul Masters could choose their own cultivation direction. For example, control-type Soul Masters would choose Soul Beasts with entanglement and spider web restraint, agile attack-type Soul Masters would choose agile Soul Beasts like leopards, and power attack-type Soul Masters would choose Soul Beasts that excelled in strength like bears and giant apes.

No matter which Soul Beast's Soul Ring was absorbed, the resulting Soul Skill was basically the Soul Beast's innate skill. Thus, the development direction of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was extremely broad, but limited by the Martial Soul being too weak, the Soul Skills would also be dragged down, so the strength they displayed was somewhat unsatisfactory.

This was the experience that people had summarized over countless years. The strength of the Martial Soul affected the Soul Skills produced. If the Martial Soul was weak, the Soul Skills produced would tend towards the Soul Beast that produced the Soul Skill. Tang Ya was an example. Conversely, the stronger the Martial Soul, the more the Soul Skills would lean towards the Martial Soul itself, and the Soul Skills produced would be more suitable for their own Martial Soul.

The most typical example was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters chose Soul Skills very simply. If they wanted Soul Skills that amplified strength, they would choose Soul Beasts that were good at strength. If they wanted to amplify speed, they would choose agile Soul Beasts.

The most unreasonable was Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Sea棠 Martial Soul. No matter what Soul Beast it was, it would all be transformed into healing Soul Skills. It was simply a rogue in the Martial Soul world.

In summary, Huo Yuhao concluded that Tang Ya's Martial Soul might really have something to do with the dragon because of the Blood Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and the God-bestowed reward, awakening some of the dragon's characteristics. It sounded indeed a bit unbelievable, but the fact that it could suppress Huo Yuhao's Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul was enough to explain everything.

Just then, Tang Ya's shout interrupted Huo Yuhao's thoughts.

“Ah!” The voice was cheerful, as if venting a long-suppressed feeling of comfort.

Huo Yuhao's expression was rich and varied. Who taught you to shout like that? Do it a few more times so I can listen.

Slightly raising her eyes, feeling the lightness coming from within her body, Tang Ya couldn't even believe that this was actually her body. Just now, under the baptism of the divine light, her body had undergone earth-shattering changes. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she had been reborn. All the hidden meridians in her body had been completely opened, which was what the God-bestowed reward referred to as the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

The Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record clearly stated that the Mysterious Heaven Skill would greatly benefit from the opening of any one of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. The Mysterious Heaven Skill was divided into nine levels, corresponding to the realm of Soul Master to Titled Douluo, and one of the criteria for the Mysterious Heaven Skill to be completed, in addition to reaching the eighth level, was to open all the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

Each of these Eight Extraordinary Meridians corresponded to some important parts of the human body. Although the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were naturally connected, they were only subtly connected, and Soul Power could not pass through. The Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill was created to open these Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill had a record that those who opened the Eight Extraordinary Meridians could go to heaven and earth and be omnipotent. Of course, this was just a big boast. At least Tang Ya knew that she didn't have the ability to go to heaven and earth at the moment.

Although it didn't allow Tang Ya to reach the sky in one step, it opened a path to the sky for her. All the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were opened, which meant that she would not have any bottlenecks in her cultivation to Titled Douluo in the future, and the benefits didn't stop there. As the meridians expanded, Tang Ya could feel the unobstructed flow of Soul Power in her body, which she would never have dared to imagine before.

Thanks to this, from today onwards, Tang Ya's cultivation speed would never be weaker than a genius with innate Soul Power level twenty. As for those with innate full Soul Power level ten, Tang Ya said that she didn't care about them. Well, in plain words, they were all younger brothers.

After sorting out all the situation, Tang Ya finally had time to pay attention to other things. Looking at Huo Yuhao, the gratitude in Tang Ya's eyes was overflowing. She understood that everything she had now was given by the boy in front of her. Without him giving her the Immortal Herb, her Martial Soul would not have evolved, let alone be selected by the God Ranking.

Gently stepping forward, opening her arms, Tang Ya wanted to give Huo Yuhao a bear hug, but before she could step forward, a palm was placed on her smooth forehead.

“Alright, Sister Xiaoya, let’s continue watching the God Ranking.”

Tang Ya reluctantly withdrew her hands, a hint of loss flashed in the depths of her eyes, but she didn't continue to insist, and continued to pay attention to the God Ranking with Huo Yuhao.
