Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect

Huo Yuhao subconsciously rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had been thinking too much last night.

After all, it was the first time he had seen his mother in over twenty years. He flew here to meet her and was very emotional. He hasn't had a chance to rest since.

Could it be that I've been working non-stop since the battle and now my body is exhausted?
But Huo Yuhao could see it clearly: the communicator on the Title Douluo's wrist was still glowing blue, while the steel bar in his hand was bending into an arc as if kneading dough. The light blue crystal embedded in the tower's component module was flashing with the fluctuation of soul power, which was a notification that the soul guide core had been activated.

Huo Yuhao recognized the special symbol on the back of the Title Douluo's clothing; it was the symbol of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.

"Aodu Chamber of Commerce? That's just people from Nijiang."

He decided to go and take a look.

The newly formed Title Douluo keenly sensed someone rapidly approaching. He turned around and saw a young man flying towards him, holding a token.

"Advanced access token, Level 9 Operator Qi Wu greets Your Excellency."

The Aodu Chamber of Commerce has very complete rules and an exceptionally well-developed hierarchical system.

Those with ability, considering their performance in various aspects, may be considered for promotion even if their academic qualifications are not high.

What kind of building is this?

"This is the 'Soul Tower Infrastructure Project' established by the Alliance. This town has a large population, and the higher-ups have approved it as a pilot area. We'll first build a simple tower to test the Soul Tower," Qi Wu said truthfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, a rumbling vibration suddenly came from afar. Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw three silver-white soul-guided engineering vehicles flying over the field ridges. The hovercraft emitted a faint light and stabilized the low-altitude flight angle.

In the driver's seat of the first car, a familiar figure was poking out and waving.

He is a Soul Master within the Tang Sect's inner circle.

"Hou Teng, an inner disciple, greets Hall Master Huo!"

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and put away his token.

"What are the deputy sect leader's current plans?"

Hou Teng immediately removed a promotional brochure from his personal storage device and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"Oh right, and this too!"

Huo Yuhao took the brochure, and upon hearing this, looked at the item in Hou Teng's hand.

It was a small metal box.

"The Vice Sect Master asked me to bring you a 'little gadget,' saying it's for use with the Purple Demon Eye, for work. The Vice Sect Master said that the soul spirit infrastructure in this area is now in your hands, and your vacation is over."

"What the hell?!"

Huo Yuhao stared at Hou Teng in disbelief.

Hou Teng nodded firmly in response to the somewhat desperate look in his eyes.

Yes, that's right, I'm here to urge you to go to work.

"The main reason is that the Vice Sect Master's plan covers the four great empires. The Vice Sect Master said that such a massive plan means a large flow of resources and personnel relationships. Our Tang Sect needs to secure a share of resources in this grand plan, as well as build connections and enhance the glory of the Tang Sect!" Hou Teng said with burning enthusiasm.

Okay, this is so Ye Nanxiao.

Huo Yuhao took a few deep breaths and resignedly opened the box.

Perfect timing! Having something to do allows him to focus on reflecting on his current situation while he's working.

Wu Tong followed him home and met his mother. Although they got along well, she still didn't fully understand her father's situation. As for herself, she was still struggling to let go of her "predestined fate."

After all, if his fate hadn't been disrupted by Ye Nanxiao, he would have truly been like a puppet, being led by strings.

It's as if all my efforts have been in vain.

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly to clear his mind of distractions and looked at the box in his hand.

Inside lay a pair of pale gold soul-guided glasses, with ornate gold thread patterns that extended all the way to the finger-thick temples. The inside of the temples was engraved with fine patterns that, upon closer inspection, resembled miniature soul-guided magic arrays.

“This is the ‘Spiritual Vision Soul Guiding Mirror’,” Hou Teng explained.

"It contains a professional spirit-gathering core array, which can amplify the Hall Master's Purple Demon Eye, increase the range of vision, and also allow him to perceive the energy flow of the soul guide device. The Deputy Sect Master also said that Hall Master, you will be helping to supervise the soul guide circuit of the Soul Spirit Tower in the future, and this thing will come in handy."

"Alright." Huo Yuhao put on his glasses, then told Qi Wu and Hou Teng to return to their posts, while he himself planned to take a closer look at the publicity plan.

The Soul Tower sounds like a huge project.

Then there is no room for error.

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and conjured an ice bench. His habits are becoming more and more like Ye Nanxiao's.

Just as he put on his glasses and prepared to start working, the core magic array on the temple of his glasses emitted a faint light.

"Ahem, I mean, Huo Gua, no, I mean Yuhao."

Ye Nanxiao's voice rang in Huo Yuhao's ears, which startled him slightly.

Huo Yuhao took off his glasses and carefully examined the core magic array on the temples.

"No wonder the temples of these glasses are almost as thick as a finger. You can never guess what kind of crazy ideas Muddy has."

He put his glasses back on, intending to listen to what Ye Nanxiao had to say.

There's no need to think about it; it's definitely a work assignment.

After all, Ye Nanxiao is a capitalist with both a criminal and a political background.

The only proof he doesn't need to be hung on a streetlamp is that no matter how much he earns, his subordinates will receive increased resources and benefits.

In Ye Nanxiao's words, it was about winning people's hearts and cultivating loyal followers.

Huo Yuhao looked up at the Soul Tower that had risen from the ground, and Ye Nanxiao's voice continued to ring in his ears.

"I feel it's more convenient to call you Huo Gua. After all, you're such a foolish little brother. It would make you lose face in front of outsiders. Enough with the nonsense, I'll get straight to the point."

"I've known about Wu Tong's father for a long time because I was assassinated and hunted down a long time ago. But now that I've won, Wu Tong's father, who is also your father-in-law, has to suffer. He'll have to go to work on time, take one day off a month, and not eat. He'll be a 24/7 nuclear-powered ox or horse. That's one of my punishments."

"Of course, leave this one for now. Wu Tong is a good girl, the kind of girl you once risked your life to protect. The most important thing for a man is to keep his promises. So, tell me the truth about how I dealt with her father. Whether you have any grievances or not, it's not your fault."

"You just need to work hard, earn more money, build a small family, and have a baby to play with whenever you have time. From the day I met you, you were not a puppet destined for fate. You are a real man with flesh and blood, the Huo Yuhao who is righteous, loyal, and will do everything in his power to protect everything."

"Your growth to where you are today is not entirely due to my help. I only gave you a spark. The one who ignites the raging fire within you is always yourself. You are your own master and the guardian of Douluo Continent."

"From now on, no matter what you encounter, no matter what methods those people use, you must remember—your destiny has always been in your own hands. Don't deny yourself because of the past that others have presupposed, and don't get lost in unknown conspiracies. Guard your heart, guard the people around you, guard everything you want to protect, and that's enough."

"After all, you are Huo Gua, the proud and peerless disciple of the Tang Sect, a genius student of Shrek Academy, an outstanding junior brother, and a qualified husband. Of course, you are also your mother's pride." (End of Chapter)
