After dealing with Lu Xinjin, Huo Yuhao didn't linger and directly used his Divine Might to teleport to the homes of the other Soul Saints.
These Soul Saints' residences had already been thoroughly investigated, all thanks to their subordinates' voluntary betrayal.
One of the Soul Saints, somewhat ungrateful, tried to attack Huo Yuhao on the spot after hearing his words.
Huo Yuhao wasn't going to tolerate this and directly sent him to meet Tang Buddha with a single Amaterasu. Of course, whether Tang Buddha would accept him was another matter; he was only responsible for sending him.
After dealing with one Soul Saint, he took the Soul Saint's remains to the home of the second Soul Saint.
This level 72 Control-type Soul Saint, named Kong Yang, immediately realized he was no match for Huo Yuhao upon seeing the remains. He
immediately knelt on the ground and said,
"Kong, I've wandered half my life, only regretting that I haven't met a wise ruler!"
"If you don't abandon me, Kong is willing to become your godfather!"
Huo Yuhao didn't want to be Dong Zhuo, and this guy's martial soul wasn't the Fangtian Halberd.
However, seeing that Kong Yang was quite sensible, Huo Yuhao decided to make him the city lord.
Huo Yuhao told him in advance that from now on, Xilu City must give him a green light in all aspects and not allow any obstacles to his development.
Kong Yang nodded repeatedly, saying that as long as he wasn't turned to ashes, everything was negotiable.
Huo Yuhao couldn't trust such a fence-sitter, so he imprinted a Tsukuyomi version of his mental sea with a Tsukuyomi mental imprint. This method of using mental power was taught by Tianmeng.
It was somewhat like a transcribing seal.
Once he showed any rebelliousness, Tsukuyomi would automatically trigger, tormenting him in the mental world for three days and three nights before erasing his personality.
Kong Yang felt the restraint in his mental sea, trembling all over, his eyes filled with awe and fear as he looked at Huo Yuhao.
Seeing his obedient appearance, Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction. Now that he had found a suitable candidate, there was nothing more to say to the last Soul Saint.
The last Soul Saint was named Ma Fengjun, an agility-type Soul Saint, level 75.
Huo Yuhao didn't waste any words with him; a combination of illusion and Tsukuyomi directly made him kneel on the ground.
They branded him with the same Tsukuyomi mark as Kong Yang, making him his future advisor.
Clearly, Ma Fengjun wasn't one to back down; he immediately knelt.
He didn't want to die. As a sixty-year-old Soul Saint, he had plenty of time to strive for Soul Douluo status; his prime hadn't arrived yet, how could he die here?
Besides, for him, who he served didn't matter. He'd always been at Lu Xinjin's beck and call before, just with a different person.
In one night, this city, so close to Shrek City, completely fell into Huo Yuhao's hands.
The upper echelons were all his own people, the lower ranks were constantly infiltrating with enthusiasm, and there was potential for future expansion into surrounding cities.
Since Shrek Academy was always aloof and looked down on the surrounding cities, it was best to just give them all to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao wouldn't waste these crucial cities that could tightly control the Star Dou Great Forest.
After finishing everything, Huo Yuhao teleported directly to the Passion headquarters, a tall building over ten meters high, formerly a casino.
He summoned Passion's cadres through mental imprinting.
Then he announced that the main development goal was to establish schools in Xilu City, help school-age children awaken their martial souls for free, and adopt orphans from the surrounding area. He
vigorously reformed Xilu City's economy, forbidding prostitution, casinos, and addictive drugs from existing in his city.
Before he came, the world was this bad; if it remained this way after he arrived, wouldn't his trip have been in vain?
After concluding his affairs in Xilu City, he also visited the orphanage established by Passion.
Seeing that the girl named Sui had voluntarily joined Passion and was helping the orphanage director care for the orphans,
Huo Yuhao was very pleased. He had Sui stand on the awakening array and personally used his mental power to fully activate her martial soul.
A primordial beast with a sheep's head, dragon horns, tiger teeth, and human claws, its earthen-yellow body covered with strange patterns, appeared behind Sui.
It was none other than the Taotie Spirit Sheep, a martial soul of the same type as Xuanzi's Taotie Divine Ox.
Huo Yuhao believed that this girl named Sui would definitely become a core member of Passion in the future, supporting the top combat power of Passion.
Afterwards, Huo Yuhao summoned all the children from the orphanage who were six years old or older to him, and then awakened their martial souls one by one.
Only seven children awakened their soul power, with the highest soul power being level five.
Huo Yuhao personally explained to these children their future development direction and what kind of soul rings they should hunt.
For the children without soul power, Huo Yuhao instructed the orphanage to continue to support them, letting them try to learn a skill from the craftsmen under Passion, so that they would have a way to make a living even if they did not join Passion in the future.
"It's over, Brother Tianmeng, we should head to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was currently bickering with Ilex, which was his daily routine, but he was often almost knocked out by Ilex's words.
He was both bad at it and loved to play.
"Great, Yuhao!"
"Once you get the second ring of your Spirit Eye, I'll take you to the far north to obtain your second Martial Soul and the Ice Emperor Soul Ring!"
"That way, Yuhao, all three of your Soul Rings will be over 100,000 years old, unprecedented and absolutely unparalleled!"
Huo Yuhao nodded with a smile. His current configuration was indeed invincible; 100,000-year Soul Rings were practically a commodity for him.
"Divine Might!"
This time, Huo Yuhao didn't need to walk; he could directly jump using Divine Might.
The Divine Might eye technique was incredibly useful. It connected to a Divine Might Space, which was attached to the other dimensions of the Douluo Continent.
Huo Yuhao used the Divine Might Space as a transit point, allowing him to jump to other locations on the Douluo Continent.
This location had to be a place Huo Yuhao had been to or within the range of his spiritual power.
When Electrox saw the Divine Might Space, he was amazed. He said this space was a kind of demi-plane.
Moreover, it was a demi-plane inherent to his Martial Soul, and Huo Yuhao was the master of the demi-plane.
...
In a verdant pond on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The golden hawksbill turtle was listlessly blowing bubbles in the middle of the river.
"He came, he didn't come. He came, he didn't come..."
"Could he have really been tricked away by the other turtles?"

"This kind of thing should happen at least five years after I die!!!"
The golden hawksbill turtle didn't notice a spatial vortex appearing by the pond.
Huo Yuhao's figure was slowly expelled by the vortex.
Hearing the golden hawksbill turtle's words, Huo Yuhao's face darkened.
"This kind of pathetic soul beast is about to become my soul ring, how pathetic!"
When Huo Yuhao was completely standing by the pond, the shadow cat on his shoulder meowed at the golden hawksbill turtle.
"Meow!!"
The golden hawksbill turtle immediately turned around, and its triangular head showed an expression of ecstatic joy.
"Woo~"
"You've finally arrived, this old turtle has been getting impatient!"
Before Huo Yuhao could speak, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in the Sea of Spirit couldn't hold back any longer.
"Wait?"
"It's this golden hawksbill turtle?!"
"This guy absorbed my life force!!"
"I can feel my essence within it!"
"Yuhao, cover it with your spiritual power, I need to talk to this bastard!"
Huo Yuhao reluctantly covered it with his spiritual power, allowing the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to communicate with the golden hawksbill turtle.
"Bastard! Do you still recognize me?"
The golden hawksbill turtle suddenly sensed an unusual spiritual power emanating from Huo Yuhao's body. It was a little confused at first, but quickly recognized him.
"Ah! It's you, that ice silkworm!"
"You actually showed up! So the first soul ring you were talking about was you!"
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm continued angrily, "You also absorbed my life force back then!"
The golden hawksbill turtle felt a little guilty and secretly buried its head in the water, muttering, "I absorbed it secretly, it didn't cause you too much trouble."
"And I paid the price for it, you can see from my current life force."
Only then did the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm realize that the golden hawksbill turtle's life force was almost exhausted.
"So that's how it is, no wonder you wanted to sacrifice yourself!"
The golden hawksbill turtle didn't want to explain anymore; its body was already nearing its limit, and every second of life was excruciating.
"You should have the ability to preserve your spiritual essence in your spiritual sea, otherwise the Great Ice Silkworm wouldn't be able to communicate with me."
"Help me seal my spiritual essence into his body, and I will do my best to sacrifice myself for him!"
"The rest, I'll explain to you after I rest in my spiritual sea for a while!"
After saying that, the golden hawksbill turtle exuded the terrifying aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, its entire body covered in blood red.
Then, the blood-red light enveloped Huo Yuhao's entire body, and his spiritual eyes automatically opened.
The Shadow Cat quickly jumped off Huo Yuhao's shoulder, standing guard nearby.
Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was unwilling, it still used its spiritual power to guide the golden hawksbill turtle's spiritual essence into Huo Yuhao's body.
He wouldn't refuse something that was beneficial to Huo Yuhao.
The sacrifice didn't take long; soon, a blood-red soul ring appeared in his spiritual eyes, with two golden patterns on it.
It was clear that the Golden Hawksbill Turtle had successfully broken through to the level of a 200,000-year-old ferocious beast during its sacrifice.
After the sacrifice, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's body dissipated, leaving behind a large piece of emerald green metal radiating a life force like that of a world.
A dark golden skull also floated in the air.
Electrox sensed that life force within Huo Yuhao's body, extended his divine sense, and was immediately shocked by the entire gray sphere!
"What a huge piece of Life Gold!"
"Unheard of, unseen before!"
"This, this, this!"
"Alas, Yuhao, you are truly blessed!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked Ilex in confusion, "What is Life Gold?"
Ilex said in an aged voice, "Life Gold... that is a world, the essence of a world."
"If you were to convert your million years of life force into Life Gold, it would probably only amount to a single drop."
"Such a large piece of Life Gold, in my world, would probably make all the powerful warriors risk their lives to fight for it!"
"Yuhao, after you absorb the Soul Bone, I will help you make the most of this Life Gold."
At the same time, the Golden Tortoise finally entered Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
"Hahaha, this old tortoise is finally free!!!"
"So your name is Huo Yuhao, hurry up and absorb the skull I gave you."
"This skull's soul skill is related to destiny."
"I'll rest for a while, I've been too tired these past few years!"
Huo Yuhao didn't rush to absorb the Soul Bone, but first put the Life Gold into his storage soul tool.
Experience the two soul skills granted by the Golden Tortoiseshell.
"Spirit Eye Second Soul Skill: Golden Armor: The body coalesces into a golden armor, a spiritual star burning on the chest. The armor maintains its state, possessing extremely high defensive power; at level 20 soul power, it can withstand a full-force attack from a Soul Emperor."
"Spirit Eye Second Soul Skill: Sun Wheel Spear: The golden armor shatters, ignited by spiritual power, coalescing into a giant light spear."
"The spear is inlaid with miniature sun wheels, composed of elements ignited by spiritual power."
"Extremely powerful, but consumes a very high amount of soul power; it is especially effective against darkness and evil!" This
