Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 144 Come back and visit often

The Spirit Pagoda of the East Sea soars into the clouds, its spire shimmering with a pale blue light in the sunlight, seemingly connecting with the sky. Two years ago, the battle that shocked the entire Soul Master world turned this originally unassuming building into the focus of countless people's attention.

It was only because Huo Yuhao and others' information was investigated and confirmed by everyone that they were members of the Spirit Pagoda.

However, facing the only force in Donghai City with a Title Douluo in charge, no one dared to be too presumptuous, so it did not affect the lives of Huo Yuhao and the others.

Huo Yuhao stepped into the Spirit Pagoda and greeted the people who came towards him.

"Good morning, Anya."

"Yuhao, good morning."

Anya saw Huo Yuhao, and a gentle smile appeared on her joyful face.

Because of Huo Yuhao, she got promoted again!

Looking back now, being a spirit medium was the best job ever—seize the opportunity and rise to the top in one step.

I heard that the colleague who interacted with Wu Lin also got promoted. Congratulations!

"I heard you're going to headquarters?" Anya asked.

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded, took out a gift box and gave it to Anya, "This is a gift for you. Thank you for taking care of me all these years, Sister Anya."

"Rather than saying I took care of you, it's more accurate to say I owe you a debt of gratitude; otherwise, I might not be where I am now."

Even as she said this, Anya still accepted the gift box and smiled:

"A gift from a Level 6 mecha builder and a Level 6 mecha designer, the number one on the list of young geniuses... I'm really looking forward to it..."

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside the Spirit Pagoda. Anya stopped speaking and the two turned to look, only to see a group of parents with their children gathered at the entrance, seemingly waiting in line.

"The Awakening Day is tomorrow, right?" Anya asked, puzzled. "Why are they here today? And those children are already too old."

A staff member passing by explained to her:

"The Federation has asked us to temporarily take in a group of children and Soul Masters. The reason why the Soul Guidance Aircraft is temporarily out of service is also related to this. They have all been sent to various places to pick up personnel, and we don't know what happened."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked at the parents entering the Spirit Pagoda under the guidance of the staff. Seeing their uneasy expressions, and then glancing at the children, he pondered for a moment before speaking to Anya, who had regained her senses:

"Then I'll go say goodbye to the others. See you again sometime."

Anya's eyes held a complex expression, which eventually turned into a sigh: "Okay, goodbye, come back and visit often when you have time."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Huo Yuhao went to see acquaintances from the Spirit Pagoda and Xie Xie and others.

"Boss, you and Gu Yuena go to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters first, we'll come over later." Xie Xie said with a smile, "We'll come and join you then, I also want to study at the Sun Moon Soul Master Academy."

Two years passed, and their cultivation levels had basically all reached the Soul Venerable realm, a year faster than before. However, things didn't go so well afterward; after using spirit-upgrading pills and other methods, their cultivation speed would gradually return to normal.

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head: "Okay."

After two years, Xie Xie and the others finally completed the Black-level assessment. After that, they need to go to their respective branches to formally meet their teachers, which will take some time.

Luo Yanglu, who was also standing to the side, smiled when he saw Huo Yuhao looking at him:

"Be careful on the road, and... come back and visit often."

"Of course I will."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, then took out two items and handed them to Luo Yanglu. "This is for you. Please give the other one to Teacher Wu." Luo Yanglu accepted the items with a smile, without refusing.

After a few pleasantries and several farewells,

Finally, Huo Yuhao walked towards a simulation training room.

The rest of Class Zero were on Luoyang Road; only Gu Yuena was here.

Time flies, and two years have brought about astonishing changes in her. The once naive girl has blossomed into a graceful young woman, her height of over 1.7 meters making her stand out in a crowd. Although there is still some naivety in her eyes, the precocious advantage unique to young girls makes her more charming than boys her age.

Her slender figure already showed signs of curves, with a long neck and a slim waist. Every line was just right, and black pantyhose outlined her long, straight legs, which shimmered with a youthful glow under the light.

Gu Yuena stood quietly under the tree, her silver hair cascading down like a waterfall, her eyes cold and frosty. The moment her right hand made a grasping motion, a long spear that shimmered with silver light suddenly appeared.

The gun barrel is over ten feet long, slender as moonlight, and covered with fine hexagonal silver scales, each one like a meticulously crafted ice crystal, reflecting a cold, sharp edge in the dim light.

Suddenly, she moved.

Before he could even flinch, the gun had already pierced the air.

The moment the spear was thrust out, time seemed to stand still—the spear tip transformed into a cold silver line, silently cutting through the airflow. Wherever it passed, space distorted slightly, revealing fine, spiderweb-like cracks that instantly healed.

There was no sound of wind, no afterimages, only pure killing intent concentrated on a single line.

When the gun was put away, all was quiet.

She stood still, the silver spear dissipating inch by inch, transforming into a sky full of fireflies-like starlight. Within a hundred paces—fallen leaves hung suspended in mid-air, dust remained still, and even the light seemed to be imprisoned by some invisible force, transforming into an absolute domain.

Only when her eyelashes trembled slightly did the world resume its flow. As for everything that had been still before, it had silently turned to dust and scattered away.

Gu Yuena sensed Huo Yuhao's presence, and the coldness on her face thawed, replaced by a bright smile as she walked over. "Yuhao, are you leaving?"

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao glanced at the spot where Gu Yuena had just practiced her spear intent, then looked at the silver dragon spear in her hand. "You've mastered the intent perfectly. You've officially entered the inner sanctum."

Perhaps influenced by his words, or perhaps it was Gu Yuena's own plan, but over the past two years she has put in a lot of effort in various aspects, even taking out the Silver Dragon Spear to practice her spear techniques...

However, it seems that the Douluo spearmen don't have much luck, right?

Huo Yuhao secretly raised an eyebrow.

Miss Auspicious Beast, Sky-Supporting Douluo, the original Tang Wulin, and others who fight with guns—their lives are hard to describe as simply lucky.

Did the curse of the Luck E of the Lancers in a certain month extend to this world?
Huo Yuhao looked Gu Yuena up and down, which puzzled her. "Yuhao, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with my artistic conception?"

"nothing."

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly. "President Li said he's waiting for us at the station. Have you said goodbye yet?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena naturally extended her fair hand, took Huo Yuhao's hand, and walked with him towards the door. "I also said goodbye to everyone. At the Mech Pilot Association, Teacher Cheng was in tears, which made me a little... reluctant to leave."

As she finished speaking, Gu Yuena's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a complex smile.

Huo Yuhao gently squeezed her hand back, feeling a cool touch on his fingertips. "She treats you like a daughter, so of course she can't bear to part with you... Come back and visit often, don't leave any regrets."

Gu Yuena turned her head to look at Huo Yuhao's profile, which was softly outlined by the morning light, and nodded gently, "Yes, I will."

Human lifespan is short, and the future is uncertain, so we must cherish the present.
