Getting closer.
They saw Huo Yuhao's secret technique doppelganger, shield in the left hand and sword in the right, killing its way through the surging horde of undead seven times.
The dense aura of light on its body was even stronger than Mu En's and Bei Bei's.
Every move was a knight combat skill.
"Pure White Blade!"
"Light Slash Sword!"
"Holy Sword!"
"Light's Revenge!"
"Divine Defense Block!"
"Sacrifice!"
Its combat prowess was fierce, and its defense was also maxed out.
It was precisely the dual cultivation of the Guardian Knight and Retribution Knight from the World of the Throne of Divine Seals. From time to time, it would free a hand to cast a light magic spell.
Triple cultivation!
The secret technique doppelganger had not awakened psychic power. Could it really have achieved its current battle strength in just over half a month?
It must have used cheats.
But not the kind of cheats Zhuge Lan provided.
Rather, the time flow rate between the Undead Half-Plane and the Douluo World was 10:1.
Over half a month had passed for Huo Yuhao, but it had been nearly half a year on this side.
Coupled with the fact that when condensing the secret technique doppelganger, it inherently possessed a certain amount of base spiritual power.
That was why it had made such progress.
"If only it weren't for the fact that soul power can't be cultivated in this Undead Half-Plane, I'd really want to just cultivate here," Huo Yuhao sighed.
"You can come here to cultivate psychic power," Octagonal Grass chimed in.
"Other aspects are fine, but increasing psychic amplitude progresses faster near the Golden Tree," Huo Yuhao analyzed.
"That's simple, just snatch the Fear Demon Dragon Head Bone then," Zhuge Lan spoke up.
"Sounds good to me. It would give over ten times the cultivation time," Yi Laike agreed.
"Shall we go back and snatch it now?" Ice Empress said eagerly.
It seemed they were about to reach a unanimous agreement.
"Wait a moment!" Huo Yuhao stopped them. "Teacher has been so good to me. Isn't it improper to take so much from him?"
"You're going to help him ascend to godhood in the future. What does a little investment like this matter?" Zhuge Lan retorted.
Ah, this...
That seemed quite reasonable?
At that moment.
The secret technique doppelganger's spiritual power was almost depleted. It used a fourth-tier light magic spell, Light Explosive Shot, for crowd control. The aura of light on its body then transformed into a deathly, lifeless one.
This caused the numerous undead who had recovered to lose their target. They wandered around confused for a while before engaging in close combat, killing and devouring each other to evolve.
The secret technique doppelganger mingled among them, training in necromancy and death magic.
It was very busy.
Electrolux materialized, nodding with satisfaction.
"This secret technique doppelganger has inherited your diligence, Little Yuhao. It drives itself to fight and train without needing urging. It's been so relentless that it nearly died in battle several times."
A blurry figure of Zhuge Lan appeared nearby, condensed from psychic power.
"Let me correct one point: the secret technique doppelganger has no consciousness. It's entirely remotely controlled by Little Yuhao himself."
"So, the concept of inheritance doesn't apply. The secret technique doppelganger is Little Yuhao himself. However hardworking he normally is, it remains the same."
"As for dying in battle... it just consumes some energy, no big deal."
Huo Yuhao timidly raised his hand.
"That... still hurts a bit."
Zhuge Lan and Electrolux exchanged a smile.
"Alright."
Zhuge Lan said—
"The arrangements outside will probably take a few days. The energy sources I left for Ice Empress and Ah Tai should last about three days."
"During this time, you stay here and fight alongside the secret technique doppelganger."
"There's no better way to get used to all the abilities you've gained in such a short time than actual combat."
"Oh, right, be careful controlling your soul power. Don't let the 'Sigh of the Gods' be broken."
"Never mind, I'll give you something good."
Zhuge Lan opened the [Creation Authority].
—
Condition: Create a special pupil technique for the Sharingan: Izanagi.
It can turn unfavorable events happening to the user within a certain period into illusions, only selecting events beneficial to the user to turn into reality.
The cost is one Sharingan permanently losing its sight!
Cost: 50,000 Fortune Points!
Create? —
This Izanagi was incredibly powerful, a free pass from death!
As long as it was activated in advance, even if one was utterly dismembered, it could "transform that into a non-existent illusion," and the user would revert to the earliest "anchor point" set when Izanagi was cast.
It only cost 50,000 Fortune Points because the Sharingan had already been exchanged.
Otherwise, the cost would easily be several times higher.
Thinking this.
Zhuge Lan directly deducted 200,000 Fortune Points from Huo Yuhao's balance and condensed the [Izanagi Skill Book].
He slapped it onto Huo Yuhao's head.
Huo Yuhao was dazed for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise!
"Brother Lan, how many Fortune Points does it cost to restore a blinded Sharingan?"
"Yours is the Mangekyō, so it's more expensive. Starts at 100,000 Fortune Points," Zhuge Lan said. "But using it for Izanagi this way also lasts longer, probably... 10 minutes?"
"That's so expensive," Huo Yuhao frowned. "Another last-resort trump card."
"Don't be reluctant to use it!" Zhuge Lan reminded him. "It doesn't matter if you die, but there's only that one strand of the Ice God's Divine Sense. Its creation value is 20 million Fortune Points!"
"Got it, I won't be stingy at critical moments," Huo Yuhao waved his hand. "Then I'll go down to fight now."
He charged headfirst into the undead horde.
Along the way, he had already completed his Spirit Soul attachment, transforming into a half-dragon, half-human form and slaughtering everything in his path.
He soon met up with the secret technique doppelganger and began testing various normal state skills.
The two took turns fighting, orderly and methodical.
When their soul power and spiritual power were almost depleted, this time, without using the "Hiding Under the Lamp" tactic, the long-accumulated psychic power sprang into action.
The Blood Shadow Flying Knives reaped lives like cutting grass, unstoppable.
Within the range covered by the psychic power, everything was cleared out.
But the undead knew no fear.
They continued charging forward wave after wave, only to be harvested by the circling Blood Shadow Flying Knives.
They couldn't even get close to the two.
"This psychic power is truly invincible against opponents of the same level," Electrolux sighed. "Numbers are meaningless in front of a Psychic Master."
"Aren't numbers meaningless before you, the Death Holy Mage God?" Zhuge Lan reciprocated the praise. "Old Electrolux, if you were willing to awaken psychic power with your mental strength, you would definitely surpass us all."
"Forget it," Electrolux shook his head. "This old man is but a wisp of a remnant soul, with no heart to contend for such things anymore."
Zhuge Lan didn't press further.
Just as Electrolux said, he was a wisp of a remnant divine soul, like a rootless duckweed.
A single burst of power would require a long rest to recover, or the use of Fortune Points to replenish.
It was the kind of power unused in normal times, and in life-or-death situations, psychic power alone might not be sufficient.
Choosing not to waste Fortune Points on this was quite rational.
However...
Zhuge Lan looked down at the secret technique doppelganger below, with its ability system unique to the Throne of Divine Seals.
An interesting thought arose in his mind.
"Old Electrolux, do you have a way to convert between spiritual power and soul power?"
"No way," Electrolux shook his head directly. "They aren't even from the same world's system. If this old man's original body were still here, perhaps I could research it, but now..."
Zhuge Lan raised his hand to stop him.
He noticed that recently, Old Electrolux often hung the phrase "a wisp of a remnant soul" on his lips, using it to avoid quite a few troublesome matters.
He would have to do it himself.
—
Condition: A method for freely converting between Soul Power and Spiritual Power!
Cost: 5,000,000 Fortune Points!
Create? —
So expensive.
Zhuge Lan replaced "method" with "item".
[Cost: 2,500,000 Fortune Points!]
Even an item was this expensive?
And...
