Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

The earth-shattering explosion in the Mingdou Mountains was extremely powerful. Even in Yuming City, more than 200 kilometers away, the people in the city could clearly hear the muffled sound of the explosion.

Outside Yuming City, the Sixth Army Group, which served as the reserve corps of the Northwest Army Group, was stationed. The sudden explosion startled them instantly.

When it was discovered that the explosion was coming from the Mingdou Mountains, the people of Yuming City were immediately plunged into extreme panic.

The Sixth Army Group soon received news that the Sun Moon Empire had brazenly bombed White Tiger City, and the Mingdou defense line had been declared lost.

Therefore, the Sixth Army Group acted swiftly, entered Yuming City, and took full control of the city's defenses in an attempt to stabilize the situation and resist any potential crisis.

In the Sixth Army's camp, a young man dressed in ordinary soldier's uniform stood quietly in the distance, gazing solemnly towards the Mingdou Mountains. He was Huo Yuhao.

After passing on his Soul Spirit Techniques to Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao resolutely left Shrek Academy and Tang Sect and came to Yuming City to join the army.

Previously, he had finally managed to bring Wang Dong'er out of the Haotian Sect, but due to the lack of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red and the inability to find any other effective methods, he could only watch helplessly as Wang Dong'er's life force gradually weakened.

Wang Dong'er's condition caused great concern throughout Shrek Academy, and everyone did their best to help her.

The academy even used the power of the Golden Tree in an attempt to save Wang Dong'er's life.

However, Wang Dong'er's situation was far more complicated than imagined; it was not simply a loss of vitality, but rather a gradual dissipation of her soul.

Faced with such a thorny problem, even with the combined efforts of everyone in the academy, it was still to no avail.

As Wang Dong'er's breath grew weaker day by day, Huo Yuhao's heart was completely shrouded in despair.

During that period, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol every day, becoming as颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and apathy) as a middle-aged vagrant who had experienced many hardships, losing his former spirit and fighting will.

Just when Huo Yuhao was almost in despair, a miracle happened: the soul of Dragon God Douluo Mu En, who was sleeping in the Golden Tree, was awakened.

This teacher of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er witnessed their predicament and resolutely made an amazing decision.

At the cost of his own soul dissipating, he transformed himself into pure spiritual energy to nourish Wang Dong'er's soul. Thanks to Mu En's selfless sacrifice, Wang Dong'er's life was temporarily saved.

Although Wang Dong'er's life is temporarily out of danger, there are still many difficulties and a long way to go before she can truly wake up.

The sacrifice of Mu En filled Huo Yuhao with grief and self-blame and guilt, but the news that Wang Dong'er's life was no longer fading rekindled a glimmer of joy and hope in his despair.

Although Wang Dong'er has not yet woken up, Huo Yuhao has regained his courage and confidence.

He remembered what Niu Tian and Titan had once told him, and a firm belief sprouted in his heart—he decided to rely on his own power to become a god, and then do everything he could to save Wang Dong'er.

Having regained his spirits, Huo Yuhao, in order to repay Shrek Academy's kindness and make up for the losses caused to the academy by his affair with Wang Dong'er, unreservedly handed over the Soul Spirit technology that Electrolux had painstakingly researched.

After all, to help him and Wang Dong'er, Dragon God Douluo Mu En completely perished. Originally, Mu En could have lived in the Golden Tree for a long time, protecting Shrek Academy through countless years. Because of what happened to the two of them, Shrek Academy lost a trump card. In the current turbulent Douluo Continent, Mu En's complete disappearance is very bad news for Shrek Academy.

After assisting Shrek Academy in successfully establishing the Spirit Tower, Huo Yuhao returned to the Star Luo Empire.

To achieve his goal, he chose to join the army as a common soldier. He knew that after becoming a god, he needed to ascend to the divine realm, and before that, he had to settle his grudge with Duke White Tiger.

For many years, Huo Yuhao has been determined to seek justice for his mother who has raised him with great hardship.

He was determined to rise through the ranks of the army step by step and surpass Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger through his own efforts.

He longed to one day return to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion with dignity, to make those who had looked down on him and his mother pay the price they deserved, and to make Dai Hao deeply repent at his mother's grave.

And so, Huo Yuhao, using the alias Tang Dong, successfully joined the Sixth Army Group. There, he even encountered Dai Luoli, the only younger brother he had ever acknowledged, with whom he had a good relationship with the mother and daughter back in the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

Therefore, he temporarily put aside the pressure in his heart and instead happily began to discipline his younger brother.

But before he could properly discipline his younger brother, the Sun Moon Empire suddenly launched this massive war and swiftly captured White Tiger City, dealing a heavy blow to the Northwest Army Group.

Huo Yuhao stood in the military camp, gazing in the direction of the Mingdou Mountains, his expression extremely solemn. He was originally a citizen of the Star Luo Empire. Although he had not had close ties with the country over the years and did not have much deep affection for it, he instinctively did not want his homeland to be wantonly invaded by other countries.

Moreover, he had just heard that Duke White Tiger was currently commanding the battle at the front lines.

His feelings for Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger were extremely complicated. His past experiences had left him with a deep-seated resentment towards Dai Hao. Day and night, he longed to make Dai Hao bow his head in repentance at his mother's grave and pay the price for his past indifference.

However, deep down, he did not want to see Dai Hao die in this brutal war.

After all, Dai Hao and he had countless connections, and this complicated emotion was like a tangled mess that lingered in his heart and he couldn't shake it off.

In Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire, stands the magnificent Xingluo Imperial Palace.

On this day, the atmosphere in the palace was tense and oppressive. Xu Jiujiu rushed into the palace with a hurried expression.

This princess, who is usually dignified and elegant, has now completely disregarded royal decorum and appears utterly lost and anxious.

She searched everywhere for her brother, Xu Jiawei, and finally found him in a palace.

"Brother, something terrible has happened!"

Upon seeing Xu Jiawei, Xu Jiujiu shouted loudly, his voice filled with obvious panic, "The Mingdou defense line has fallen! Baihu City, along with a third of the Mingdou Mountains, has been blown up by the Sun Moon Empire with level-nine fixed-position soul-guided shells! The Northwest Army Group has suffered heavy losses!"
