Chapter 575: Everyone's Advancement
For Meng Hongchen, this situation was extremely embarrassing.
As a true born citizen of the Sun Moon Empire, she had used many medicinal pills throughout her cultivation journey, accumulating a significant amount of impurities in her body.
Now, under the effects of the diluted Heavenly Creation Pill, it was as if she had undergone a complete rebirth, expelling all the accumulated impurities.
Ju Zi was in the same predicament.
Her innate talent wasn't as strong as Meng Hongchen's, and she had also consumed a considerable number of pills in the past to increase her strength.
Although her power had indeed improved, she had also accumulated a substantial amount of impurities over time.
As a result, the amount of black filth expelled from her body was even greater than Meng Hongchen's.
Not only did these impurities emit a foul, acrid stench, but they also coated her body in a sticky, cold layer, creating a deeply uncomfortable sensation on her skin.
She glanced at Meng Hongchen and frowned.
"Meng, you're right. We should take a bath and wash off this disgusting filth. It's unbearable having it stick to our bodies like this."
Turning toward Huo Yuhao, she smiled.
"Tower Master, can we go take a bath first? We'll come back later to report on our improvements. You wouldn't want to talk to us while we're reeking like this, would you?"
Huo Yuhao waved his hand dismissively.
"Go take a bath already. Do you really think I'd stop you from doing something like that?"
At this moment, the stench in the Third Laboratory was overwhelming it was no exaggeration to call it nauseating.
Continuing a conversation in such an environment would be torturous for his sense of smell.
He planned to activate the ventilation soul tools after everyone left, allowing the foul odor to dissipate.
"Thank you, Tower Master!"
Ju Zi giggled as she took Di Qiu'er's hand.
"Come on, Qiu'er, let's go."
Since they were both members of the Spirit Pagoda and students at the academy, they had a close relationship.
However, as someone with a sharp mind, Ju Zi could tell that Di Qiu'er and Huo Yuhao had an unusual connection.
To Ju Zi, it seemed inevitable that the two would eventually develop romantic feelings for each other.
At first, when she realized this, jealousy consumed her like wildfire.
She even considered making a move on Huo Yuhao herself, ensuring that she was the first woman by his side.
But as time passed, and Huo Yuhao's talents and power became even more monstrous, she gradually abandoned those thoughts.
After all, a man as exceptional as Huo Yuhao was bound to attract many admirers.
A man like him wasn't someone she could have all to herself.
Di Qiu'er had expelled the least amount of impurities, and her scent was the faintest among them.
She didn't immediately leave.
Instead, she turned to Ye Guyi.
"Guyi, you need to bathe too. Come with us."
Ye Guyi's body radiated a holy, sacred aura, and Di Qiu'er found this pleasant.
As a result, she had grown quite fond of Ye Guyi, and over time, the two had developed a close friendship.
After all, Ye Guyi's light attribute reminded Di Qiu'er of her favorite meal from the past light attribute soul beast brain matter.
"Mhm."
Ye Guyi nodded firmly, grasping Di Qiu'er's hand, and the four of them left together.
Nearby, Xiao Hongchen and Ji Juechen exchanged a glance.
Xiao Hongchen raised an eyebrow and grinned.
"Juechen, shall we?"
"Sure."
Ji Juechen nodded in agreement, and the two also left the Third Laboratory.
The Results of the Pill
A while later, after bathing and cleaning up, everyone returned to the laboratory, noticing that the air was much fresher than before.
Di Qiu'er smiled and said,
"Senior Yuhao, my soul power has increased by five levels. I've already reached the bottleneck at Rank 70!
"All I need now is to add one more soul spirit, and I'll become a Soul Sage."
Her golden eyes shimmered as she continued.
"More importantly, I feel that my Golden Dragon Martial Soul has improved again!
"Even my soul itself has been nourished!
"Without a doubt, my potential has greatly increased after consuming the Heavenly Creation Pill. It truly lives up to its name!"
The others nodded in agreement, their expressions filled with awe and excitement.
Although the exact level gains varied, they had all experienced similar improvements.
Their martial souls had strengthened, and their souls had been nourished.
More importantly, they had all reached Rank 70.
Huo Yuhao's Breakthrough
Inside the Spirit Pagoda's Tower, Huo Yuhao instinctively opened his eyes.
He could feel the surging soul power within him, his mind racing with thoughts.
"My soul power has already reached the bottleneck at Rank 80.
"Even my martial soul has improved.
"My spiritual power has also increased by nearly 20%.
"Now, all I need is one more soul ring or soul spirit, and I'll become a Soul Douluo."
However, he faced a small dilemma.
"It seems there aren't many suitable ice attribute soul beasts left for my Ice Jade Empress Scorpion Martial Soul."
"Should I just create my own soul ring instead?"
With his Ice God Divine Flame, his extremely concentrated Ice God bloodline, and the dormant Dragon Core of the Water Dragon King, he hadn't even begun to tap into his full potential.
In Soul Land 3, Tang Wulin had created his own bloodline soul rings through his Golden Dragon King bloodline.
Though the Water Dragon King wasn't as powerful as the Golden Dragon King, it was still a God King level being.
"There's no reason I shouldn't be able to form my own soul ring."
That said, Huo Yuhao wasn't planning to attempt it just yet.
His priority was ensuring that Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen, and Xuan Ziwen could fully absorb the medicinal power of the pill and end their seclusion sooner.
In the original story, Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe, and Xian Lin'er had shared a single Heavenly Creation Pill and remained in seclusion for an entire year and a half.
Huo Yuhao didn't want Kong Deming and the others to remain in closed door cultivation for that long.
Thus, he made his way to the Third Laboratory, determined to help them absorb the pill's energy faster.
For Huo Yuhao himself, the Heavenly Creation Pill's energy was indeed overwhelming.
However, with his divine consciousness, he could gently control its immense power, making it calm and manageable instead of letting it rampage through his body.
