Douluo Peerless: Eye of Truth

Chapter 32: Spiritual Destruction

Huo Yuhao shook his head and did not delve further into the matter. With his current ability of the Eye of Truth, he was temporarily unable to fully see the soul bone in Wang Dong's body.

Apart from the ability to passively strengthen the body that it has already demonstrated, he could not see the specific effects and other abilities of this soul bone. As for asking Alex, he could not explain it clearly in just a few words.

“Okay, stop being naughty.” Huo Yuhao suppressed Wang Dong with one hand and said, “Don’t forget that Du Weilun just deducted ten points from your skill.”

Hearing this, Wang Dong looked a little unconvinced: "What do you mean by lack of skills? He asked me to fight guerrilla warfare with this bloodthirsty demon bear. He is not me, how does he know that I haven't considered it?"

"Besides, my Butterfly God Slash just now was able to severely injure that big guy. I can also handle close combat without any problem!" Wang Dong said proudly, and then became a little dejected.

“Oh, yes, yes.” Huo Yuhao nodded, but this time he was not being perfunctory. He really felt that Wang Dong’s tactics were correct.

After all, after getting close, the power of Wang Dong's third soul skill, Butterfly God Slash, had completely ripped open the bloodthirsty demon bear. Although the bloodthirsty demon bear still had the strength to fight, Wang Dong was obviously able to handle it with ease.

Compared to this period in the original novel, Wang Dong's physical fitness and soul power reserves have been greatly improved with the help of that unknown torso bone.

Moreover, Wang Dong's tactical thinking also improved under Huo Yuhao's training, although not much.

Huo Yuhao did not think that Wang Dong’s words were aimless, but the reason why Du Weilun found an excuse to deduct points from Wang Dong was probably just to polish Wang Dong’s character.

As the students took turns to compete, Huo Yuhao found that most of the students' performances were not particularly outstanding. Few of them were able to fully utilize the advantages of their martial spirits or soul skills to target the weaknesses of the soul beasts being tested.

Therefore, the combat performance of these students naturally could not be very good, and the scores they obtained were not very high.

Apart from Wang Dong, the person with the highest score was Dai Huabin, who scored the same 145 points as Wang Dong. He easily tore apart the opponent's Millennium Soul Beast. However, Huo Yuhao believed that this was probably the result of Du Weilun's consideration.

After all, Wang Dong is still the monitor of Class 1, although Dai Huabin is more valued by the Martial Soul Department because of his higher cultivation level and talent. Moreover, due to his personality, it is not easy to control Dai Huabin by suppressing him, but they will not let Dai Huabin surpass Wang Dong, the official squad leader.

After all, Wang Dong’s previous combat performance could be considered almost perfect. As core disciples of the Martial Soul Department, it was natural that they should be treated equally.

"Next, Huo Yuhao from Class 1, Grade 2." The referee took Huo Yuhao's assessment form and nodded at him.

"Well, what level of soul beast do you choose as the test subject?"

"millennium."

"Hmm? Millennium, have you thought about it? You are only a two-ring great soul master. I hope you can face up to the strength of the thousand-year soul beast. Although the teacher is responsible for the rescue, it is not impossible for accidents to happen."

"Yeah, a thousand years."

Seeing this, the referee did not continue to persuade.

This also aroused some interest among other teachers. After all, for second-year students, the Millennium Soul Beast was still quite powerful. This was also the third Millennium Soul Beast in this assessment.

"I wonder if the thousand-year-old soul beast's spiritual power and wisdom can withstand it."

After entering the Colosseum and hearing the referee’s instructions on a series of safety matters, Huo Yuhao’s assessment, or experiment, finally began.

As the soul rings flashed, one yellow and one purple, it exceeded the soul ring ratio that soul masters usually knew, which surprised everyone.

At the same time, everyone was also somewhat surprised by an old man who did not appear in front of everyone, the Dragon God Douluo, Moon.

That’s right, Moon also came to watch the second-year student promotion assessment. After all, he was really bored on weekdays.

He was also somewhat concerned. Huo Yuhao had been staying in the dormitory for more than half a month, and he didn't know what new tricks he could come up with.

Compared with Huo Yuhao’s own unique thoughts, for soul masters, for this world, what truly determines the right to speak is strength and combat talent.

Moon came here this time just to confirm Huo Yuhao's combat talent.

"Isn't this little fellow born a commoner? Without any natural resources to build a solid foundation for his body, how could he absorb a thousand-year soul ring when he was at the second level?"

'It could also be the effect of his original martial spirit plus the Tang Sect's Xuan Tian Gong. After all, our ancestor Tang San also absorbed the third soul ring beyond his level, although no one in the Tang Sect has tried it since then.'

Huo Yuhao’s opponent also walked out of the beast circle, and Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that his opponent this time was not the Flame Lion King, but it didn’t matter.

"A thousand-year-old mutated powerful ape, a strong attack soul beast. The compatibility between this opponent and this kid is a bit bad." Du Weilun commented on the high platform.

The Hercules Ape is famous for its strength among soul beasts. It is said that it has the blood of the Titan Ape, but it is too thin. However, this thin blood alone is enough to make it look down on a group of low and middle-level soul beasts.

Especially at the level of one hundred years or one thousand years, although physical strength is rough, it is the most useful. Compared with soul beasts with elemental attributes, strength attributes are often more advantageous in the early stages.

Moreover, this powerful ape seemed to have awakened some other bloodlines. Unlike the other powerful apes whose bodies were dark red, its dark red hair also emitted a faint black metallic luster.

Everyone had previously understood Huo Yuhao's fighting style. The hidden weapons he relied on were basically of little use against thousand-year-old soul beasts. What's more, the mutation direction of this powerful ape should be towards defense.

A two-meter-tall giant ape walked out of the animal enclosure, and its huge and deformed arms beat its chest, making a series of muffled sounds. Some students with weaker strength or weaker character showed fear on their faces.

"Is this, a halo of intimidation?" Through the Eye of Truth, Huo Yuhao keenly captured the spiritual power fluctuations mixed in with the soul power fluctuations emanating from this mutant powerful ape.

The intimidation light can make some soul masters with weaker mental power become afraid before the battle, causing their strength to decline and they lose the will to fight.  

However, for Huo Yuhao, this method is not enough. "It seems to be a hybrid of the powerful ape and the iron-armed ape, and it combines the advantages of both bloodlines."

Huo Yuhao had already figured out the source of the other party's bloodline through the abilities used by the other party, and had also figured out how to defeat the other party through normal means.

'The powerful ape is known for its strength and explosive power, while the iron-armed ape is as hard as steel. Coupled with the intimidating aura it exudes at all times, it can also fight in a protracted battle.'

"Its weaknesses are speed and durability. Although this mutant ape has outstanding defense and attack power, that's all it is."

In Huo Yuhao’s real eyes, the mutant Hercules Ape, which seemed to be emitting a black and red metallic luster and had a strong defense, was actually riddled with holes. All its weaknesses were exposed in Huo Yuhao’s eyes. As long as Huo Yuhao wanted, he could easily break them at any time.

However, Huo Yuhao did not take out hidden weapons to end the battle, but instead activated his own soul skills, with yellow and purple lights flashing alternately on the soul ring under his feet.

The mutated powerful ape that was originally showing off its power and preparing to rush over to attack Huo Yuhao suddenly stood there for some reason, not moving a single step.

Instead, Huo Yuhao walked over slowly and looked the mutant powerful ape up and down.

However, the first and second soul rings under his feet were constantly flashing.

"The highest intensity of mental detection sharing combination mental cannibalism, well, it's about what I expected." Huo Yuhao was quite satisfied as he watched the mutant powerful ape remain motionless no matter how close he was, even if he tried to pluck its hair.

Afterwards, Huo Yuhao stood a little further away from the mutated powerful ape, and then the mutated powerful ape began to punch him in the chest one by one.

It was not until his ribs were broken, his heart was damaged, and his huge body could no longer be supported by the blood supply from the heart that he gave up.

Huo Yuhao immediately nodded to the referee beside him and said, "Teacher, I think this assessment is over."

Seeing this situation, although he was also confused, the referee quickly turned his gaze to Du Weilun, who was in charge of scoring on the podium nearby.

Although Du Weilun also frowned and didn't see any clues, he nodded and said: "After discussion, Huo Yuhao completed the highest level of the Millennium Soul Beast Assessment and received a basic score of 100."

"Through the control spirit skill, the powerful ape was affected at the beginning of the battle, and it was eventually severely injured. The performance was perfect, and the combat skill score can be obtained with a full score of 50."

"But there were too many unnecessary movements. As a spirit master, you should be cautious in everything you do during a battle. As a control spirit master, you did not seize the opportunity immediately, but instead made unnecessary movements that led to betrayal. Therefore, 20 points will be deducted from your final score as a warning."

"Huo Yuhao, the final score of the test is 130 points. You have passed the upgrade test."

Huo Yuhao shrugged and didn’t care too much. After all, he came here to choose a thousand-year soul beast just to experiment with his soul skills. Otherwise, he would not bother to grab the test scores that didn’t mean much to him.

“Wow, what soul skill did you just use?” After Huo Yuhao left the field, Wang Dong immediately came up to him.

"How did that powerful ape beat himself down? Is that your second spirit skill? Do you have to be so perverted?"

“Why, do you want to try it?” Huo Yuhao smiled and said to Wang Dong, “I just came up with this idea during the holiday, and I haven’t used it on a spirit master yet.”

Hearing this, Wang Dong quickly shook his head: "No, but the school's deduction is too harsh! Your performance just now was obviously perfect, why did they deduct 20 points from you directly?"

“Who cares? I don’t care anyway. Even if I get deducted points and get expelled, it doesn’t matter. Even if I get 20 extra points, I won’t get an extra gold soul coin.” Huo Yuhao yawned: “Finally the exam is over. I’m going to go back to sleep.”

After saying this, Huo Yuhao turned around and left the Colosseum, and Wang Dong naturally followed him. After all, there was nothing else for her to do if she stayed here any longer.

Along the way, Huo Yuhao was thinking about the battle between himself and the mutated powerful ape.

Through the combination of mental detection sharing and mental cannibalization, Huo Yuhao first invaded the mutant powerful ape's mental sea without leaving a trace, and then influenced its pitifully small mental sea with deep mental detection.

Then, because the mental power was occupied by the large amount of information retrieved by the mental detection, in order to avoid the mental consciousness of this mutated powerful ape being blown up, it instinctively mobilized all of its mental power back to the sea of ​​​​spirituality.

He used all his mental power to sort out the large amount of useless information obtained through mental detection as much as possible, while Huo Yuhao himself directly blocked the effect of mental detection and observed through the Eye of Truth.

After all of the mutant powerful ape's mental power was mobilized back to its sea of ​​​​spiritual sea, its sea of ​​​​spiritual sea gradually shrank and closed due to the cannibalization effect of mental cannibalism. As a result, Huo Yuhao also separated the mutant powerful ape's own mental consciousness from its physical body.

In the spiritual world, since this mutated powerful ape cannot free its own spiritual power, there is naturally no question of taking over the physical body again.

In the end, the reason why the mutant giant ape was able to overcome its body’s self-protection mechanism and severely injure itself was entirely because Huo Yuhao directly controlled its body through his mental power.

A body without mental consciousness is just an empty shell. For Huo Yuhao, controlling it couldn't be easier.

And due to the continued impact of mental cannibalization, in fact, although this mutated powerful ape now seems to be able to be saved, its mental consciousness has almost completely become a part of the mental cannibalization.

When its mental power is completely devoured by mental cannibalism, this mutated powerful ape will completely lose its self-awareness, and because of the existence of mental cannibalism, its mental power can no longer be regenerated.

Then in this case, even if a huge amount of resources are spent on healing it, it will eventually die and decay as the body loses control of the spiritual will.

'There is really no way for soul beasts to resist this move. The performance of ordinary soul masters of the same level should be similar. The mental power of a thousand-year-old soul beast should be able to match that of a fourth-ring soul beast.'

'However, it is a pity that the spiritual power consumed by spiritual cannibalism cannot be recovered. Otherwise, the pure spiritual power that constitutes the soul skill of spiritual cannibalism is also a good supplement. Maybe I can try it later and build a method to recover it.'

Huo Yuhao currently named this method "Spiritual Destruction", although it is very likely that this method will be updated in the near future.
