Chapter 577: Kong Deming Reaches Rank 98!
Even Kong Deming's spiritual power couldn't compare to Huo Yuhao's. When Huo Yuhao had helped him before, the sheer intensity of his spiritual energy had given off an overwhelming and transcendent presence, making even someone of Jing Hongchen's level feel an immense sense of oppression.
To be honest, even the most powerful spiritual type Super Douluo he had encountered in the past had never made him feel such an overwhelming force.
For a brief moment, he had even doubted whether Huo Yuhao had already gained access to divine consciousness, but he quickly dismissed the thought.
After all, the Shrek published "Tang San: Heroic Tales" recorded that only deities could possess such a formidable divine sense.
Although Huo Yuhao's talent was extraordinary, and his future seemed boundless, at present, his strength was far from that of a true god.
Jing Hongchen couldn't help but ask, "Yuhao, I'm really curious how exactly did you cultivate your spiritual power to such a level? Was it really just pure talent?"
Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Of course not! If I relied purely on talent, there's no way I could have started transforming parts of my spiritual sense into divine consciousness at this stage. Normally, that only happens after one becomes a god."
But by cutting corners with certain methods, he had managed to force an early transformation, allowing part of his spiritual awareness to ascend to divine consciousness.
He replied casually, "Of course not. It wasn't just talent, Dean. You already know that, through my 'Eye of Destiny,' I can glimpse into certain aspects of the future."
"Over the years, through observing the future, I've also obtained various unique opportunities. Those encounters helped me improve my spiritual power bit by bit. If you want to achieve a higher level of spiritual cultivation, don't worry you'll have a chance in the future. I'll make sure to help you when the time comes."
For Huo Yuhao, as long as his plan proceeded smoothly, defeating Tang San would be inevitable. Once he claimed victory, those around him would naturally benefit from his success.
Anyone he considered worthy would receive his full support.
Unlike Tang San, who neglected close friends and family, Huo Yuhao would never abandon those who stood by him.
Tang San had forsaken Jiang Nannan, Liu Erlong, and Bai Chenxiang, despite their deep relationships. It would have cost him nothing to at least grant them pseudo godhood, yet he chose to follow divine rules only when it was convenient for him.
Tang San had broken divine rules multiple times, yet when it came to helping his own people, he suddenly decided to play by the book.
Even if pseudo gods weren't as strong as true gods, they still had incredibly long lifespans yet he refused to take action.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Jing Hongchen's expression brightened.
"Supporting Yuhao was the best decision I've ever made," he thought to himself.
Huo Yuhao was not only a genius but also someone who knew how to repay kindness. He wasn't an ungrateful person on the contrary, he deeply valued those who helped him.
Just as Jing Hongchen was about to respond, a surge of immense soul power erupted from Kong Deming's chamber, instantly capturing his full attention.
"Looks like Kong Lao is finally coming out of seclusion. Judging by this energy… he must have reached Rank 98! He might even have a chance to become an Ultimate Douluo!"
Through Spiritual Detection Sharing, the scene inside the room became clear in their minds.
Inside, Kong Deming slowly opened his eyes. After briefly stabilizing his internal soul power, he restrained his aura, causing the once overwhelming pressure to fade away completely.
At a glance, he now looked no different from an ordinary person.
Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised.
For Kong Deming, reaching Rank 98 was perfectly natural.
In terms of raw talent as a soul master, Kong Deming had always surpassed both Xuan Ziwen and Jing Hongchen.
If he had dedicated himself solely to soul master cultivation, rather than spending so much time on soul tools, he would have already become a Rank 99 Ultimate Douluo.
And those with superior talent always benefited more from consuming the Heavenly Creation Pill.
After fully stabilizing his strength, Kong Deming stood up and pushed open the door with a bang, stepping forward.
Before anyone else could react, Xuan Ziwen excitedly rushed forward and embraced his teacher in a tight hug.
"Teacher! Congratulations on reaching Rank 98! Maybe one day, you'll even be able to create an eleventh tier soul tool!"
Just thinking about it made Xuan Ziwen ecstatic. If he could witness the birth of a Rank 11 soul tool in his lifetime, it would be a dream come true.
Kong Deming smiled wryly and pried himself free from Xuan Ziwen's enthusiastic grip.
He patted his disciple's shoulder and said in an encouraging tone, "Ziwen, you can't always rely on me. Maybe one day, you'll be the one who invents an eleventh tier soul tool first."
"Me?" Xuan Ziwen laughed bitterly.
"Teacher, let's be real. No matter how much I study, I doubt I'll ever surpass you in terms of overall mastery. But… when it comes to soul tool innovation, I do have some confidence!"
As he spoke, his chest puffed up with pride. As the chief researcher of Mingde Hall, he had always been on the cutting edge of innovation.
Kong Deming simply chuckled and said nothing more.
Finally, his gaze landed on Huo Yuhao.
"Yuhao, I owe you my thanks. If it weren't for the Heavenly Creation Pill you refined, I might never have reached Rank 98 before my death. From now on, I will do everything in my power to help you grow stronger."
Then, as if remembering something, he added, "Also, I need to personally thank the soul master who helped me with my spiritual power during my seclusion. If not for them, I would never have been able to fully absorb the pill's energy so quickly. Where are they now? Did they leave? I'd like to express my gratitude in person."
He turned and scanned the area, looking for the mysterious spiritual powerhouse who had assisted him.
"Teacher, that powerful soul master… is actually Yuhao."
Xuan Ziwen's voice was filled with pride.
"What? Yuhao?!" Kong Deming's eyes widened in shock.
He knew that Huo Yuhao's spiritual power was extraordinary, but he had never imagined that it was so powerful that it could help a Super Douluo stabilize his energy absorption.
Spiritual power was just like soul power the higher one's level, the harder it was to improve.
Yet, despite still being at a lower cultivation level, Huo Yuhao had managed to achieve such terrifying growth in his spiritual abilities?
It was something he couldn't comprehend.
As he stared at Huo Yuhao, a thought began to take shape in his mind.
"Could it be that Yuhao… is already walking the path of a god?"
