Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 203 The Starry Sky Dai Family (4,000)
The people of Xingluo did not believe Gu Qinghan's words, thinking that the Huo Yuhao he mentioned was fabricated.

But this is Tianhai City!

The battle that made Huo Yuhao famous several years ago took place here.

So when faced with the Star Luo people's doubts, Gu Qinghan took out the Soul Guiding Light Screen and showed these ignorant guys a picture of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition from a few years ago.

After watching the video, Lin Yuhan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

This is... a fake video, right?
A Soul Master with four black Soul Rings?

how can that be!

Lin Yu frowned and said, "No matter how talented he is, it's impossible for him to obtain a ten-thousand-year soul spirit with his first soul ring, right? How could his body and mental strength withstand it?"

Gu Qinghan was taken aback at first, then said with some amusement, "You don't know about the Spirit Ascension Platform? It's a special facility of the Spirit Transmission Tower that can increase the age of a soul spirit. As far as I know, Huo Yuhao reached the Spirit Abyss Realm around the fourth ring, which is why he increased his first soul spirit to ten thousand years."

"Increasing the lifespan of a soul? The Spirit Pagoda even has such a place?"

Those who had never experienced the Ascension Platform before naturally found it hard to believe.

In their world, there is no such place; it is beyond their knowledge.

While they were secretly surprised, Gu Qinghan continued:

"A few months ago at the Spirit Ice Ceremony, Huo Yuhao participated in an exhibition match. At that time, he demonstrated the cultivation of a six-ring Soul Emperor, and he was a six-ring Soul Emperor with a hundred thousand-year-old Soul Spirit. If you want to see the relevant records, I can find them."

Lin Yuhan: "..."

She didn't want to believe that such a Soul Master genius existed in the world, but Gu Qinghan's confident tone and the various messages on the Soul Guidance Network made her and her companions fall silent.

The Douluo Federation would never try to fool them with a fake video, would they?

Is this the Douluo Federation?
Whether they were veteran experts or young talents, they were all so invincible...

Even Chang Gongyan, an elder, frowned and was secretly shocked when he heard about Huo Yuhao's various intelligence reports.

Unlike their younger generations, the older generation had a certain understanding of the Federation.

After all, although the two continents are far apart, they have had various conflicts and frictions. In the process of testing each other, they naturally gained some understanding of the situation of the Douluo Federation.

However, it now seems that their understanding is somewhat one-sided, and they only have a superficial understanding of just how terrifying the Federation's strength really is.

Has a Soul Master like Huo Yuhao ever appeared in the history of the Star Luo Federation?

Chang Gongyan frowned, a sense of unease rising in his heart—if a genius like Huo Yuhao was not an isolated case, but rather a microcosm of the new generation of Soul Masters in the Federation, then the future of the Star Luo Continent would likely face unprecedented challenges.

"He actually possesses such talent... No wonder the master values ​​him so highly."

Beside Chang Gongyan was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance. Upon hearing about Huo Yuhao's current achievements, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes in satisfaction.

Only such an unparalleled genius is qualified to be their holy son.

Seeing him lost in thought, Chang Gongyan transmitted his voice in a low tone:

"Ning Fengzhi, what are you thinking about?"

Ning Fengzhi, like him, is a Saint-level blacksmith, but he had never met him before coming to the Douluo Federation, and the other party was not known in the blacksmithing world of the Star Luo Continent. (This character appears in the original novel Douluo III, as a pseudonym, like an Easter egg.)
Ning Fengzhi arrived suddenly before this visit to Xingluo. He knew nothing about this companion, not even whether the other person's name was real or fake. Naturally, he also didn't know the other person's purpose.

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Chang Gongyan and said, "I was just marveling at the strength of the Douluo Federation."

In such a short time, Huo Yuhao has made such a great improvement. It seems that the saying circulating in the Holy Sect is true - if Huo Yuhao is successfully brought back to the Holy Sect, the Holy Sect is likely to prosper!

……

In the room prepared for the guests from Xingluo, a young woman dressed in magnificent palace attire stood gracefully and elegantly. Lin Yuhan stood behind her, holding documents in her hands, and said solemnly:
“Miss Dai Yun’er, this is the information we’ve gathered recently. The Federation’s strength is beyond our imagination.”

"Bring it to me and see."

Dai Yun'er raised an eyebrow, reached out and took the document from her hand, and began to study it carefully.

Lin Yuhan looked down at her, her eyes flickering slightly.

The Dai family of Xingluo is one of the major families in the Xingluo Federation. Ten thousand years ago, their family held a pivotal position in the Xingluo Empire.

Unfortunately, their clan encountered an unknown enemy, and overnight, the powerful White Tiger Duke's mansion was massacred. Several heirs of that generation of White Tiger Dukes died as a result, and even the White Tiger Duke himself turned white-haired overnight, became mentally exhausted, and was unable to support the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

Fortunately, the White Tiger Duke also had a child born to a concubine—Daloi.

In order to win over the Dai family and revitalize the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, the Xu family of the Xingluo royal family betrothed their little princess to Dai Luoli.

Later, the White Tiger lineage, the Xu family, and many other people from the Star Luo Empire who refused to submit migrated to the Star Luo Continent. Even now, the Dai family has gradually recovered its strength and is still a prominent family in Star Luo, occasionally even serving as the Speaker of the Star Luo Federation, its status not far behind that of the royal Xu family.

Princess Dai Yun'er of the Dai family came with them to the Douluo Federation this time, and she is the highest-ranking person among this group of young people.

As Dai Yun'er looked at the documents, her initially indifferent expression gradually became serious, and finally, a hint of shock appeared on her face.

"Fourteen years old, a six-ring Soul Emperor... a hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Spirit... is this Huo Yuhao truly such a monstrous talent?"

Her slender fingers unconsciously gripped the edge of the document, her knuckles turning slightly white.

Lin Yuhan said in a low voice, "According to the intelligence we have so far, that is indeed the case. Moreover, he seems to have participated in the latest soul tool research and development project of Mingde Hall and Spirit Pagoda, and has also made remarkable achievements in the field of soul tool technology."

Dai Yun'er took a deep breath, carefully examined the documents for a moment, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.

They are people who should never exist in this world.

Just as she was about to put down the documents, she suddenly saw Huo Yuhao's martial soul description, and her expression changed slightly.

"His martial spirit is the same as mine? Could he be a descendant of the Dai family?"

"Yes."

Lin Yuhan nodded and smiled:
"The people of the Douluo Federation are unaware that the White Tiger Martial Soul can mutate into a special spiritual attribute Body Martial Soul. They thought Huo Yuhao only had a simple Body Martial Soul and were unaware of his relationship with the Dai family. However, with your Martial Soul as a reference, I came to this guess."

When she first saw Huo Yuhao's information, she was only shocked and overlooked his martial soul, which was exactly the same as Dai Yun'er's original martial soul!
Since Dai Yun'er's martial soul is a mutation of the White Tiger martial soul, Huo Yuhao's identity becomes quite clear.

He must be a descendant of the Dai or Zhu families who did not leave Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago!

A glint of light flashed in Dai Yun'er's eyes. She slowly closed the file, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"Interesting...this is really interesting."

She stood up, walked to the window, gazed at the bustling streets of Tianhai City, and whispered:

"The strongest genius in Douluo Continent actually has the bloodline of Xingluo flowing through his veins. That's quite unexpected."

Many years ago, the royal family of the Star Luo Empire was the Dai family. Until the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent collided, igniting a war between the two continents, the Dai family suffered heavy casualties. The Xu family then emerged and took over the throne from the Dai family. However, the Dai family did not disappear from the historical stage, continuing to assist the Xu family in governing the country to this day. Therefore, it is entirely accurate to say that the Dai family represents Star Luo, and that the Dai family's bloodline is the bloodline of Star Luo.

However, Dai Yun'er wasn't naive enough to believe that bloodline alone could make Huo Yuhao feel a sense of belonging to Xingluo. She knew very well that a peerless genius like Huo Yuhao must have his own beliefs and stance.

She gently tapped on the windowsill, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

"Lin Yuhan, go and investigate Huo Yuhao's background, especially his parents. He's a member of the Tianhai Alliance, so we should be able to get more information here."

Lin Yuhan nodded: "Yes, Miss. You want to see him?"

Dai Yun'er continued, "There's no harm in getting to know them. Anyway, the purpose of sending us juniors here is to use our age advantage to do things that our elders can't do. Of course, we're the ones who should be doing the work of getting to know our peers. Besides, he's the next tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, so if we want to win over the Spirit Pagoda, we can't bypass him."

At this point, a sly glint flashed in Dai Yun'er's eyes, revealing her mischievous nature to Lin Yuhan.

"It's a pity he was born in the Douluo Federation. If he were one of us from the Star Luo region, he might even call me 'sister'."

Lin Yuhan: "..."

Even if such a genius were born in Xingluo, you couldn't force her to call you "sister" if she didn't want to, could you?

You might even have to try to please him.

Thinking this, Lin Yuhan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because Dai Yun'er's words dispelled the worries that had been troubling her recently.

The strongest genius in the Douluo Federation right now is a descendant of the Star Luo Dai family, which is a good thing from all angles. At least, it gives them a subtle psychological advantage when facing Huo Yuhao.

"Anything else?"

Seeing that Lin Yuhan had not left after reporting her findings, Dai Yun'er raised an eyebrow.

Lin Yuhan said, "Our teacher communicated with the Governor of Tianhai and arranged an opportunity for us to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform..."

……

During their stay in Tianhai City, every member of the Xingluo delegation experienced an unprecedented spiritual shock.

After experiencing the wonders of the Spirit Ascension Platform under the arrangement of the Heavenly Sea Governor, everyone fell into a long silence. The soul-guiding technology that projected consciousness into a virtual world while possessing a 100% realistic experience, and the device that could also increase the age of a soul spirit, left these soul masters from Star Luo both amazed and terrified.

"We must establish a branch of the Spirit Pagoda in Xingluo." The head of the delegation stated firmly in a private meeting, "This technological gap is no longer just a matter of being behind in terms of soul tools."

After resting for several days in Tianhai City, the real investigation journey officially began. According to the itinerary, they would conduct an in-depth visit to the Douluo Continent for three months to fully understand the true strength of their opponent.

Surprisingly, after learning of their intention to conduct an inspection, the governor of Tianhai not only did not take any precautions, but also personally planned the best route for them—

From Donghai City to Shrek City, and finally all the way to Mingdu, this route encompasses almost all the most essential development achievements of the Douluo Federation. Afterwards, they even chartered tickets for soul-guided aircraft for everyone, thoughtfully sending them off from Tianhai City.

"Since our friends in Xingluo are so interested in our development."

The governor stood by the gangway, waving goodbye with a beaming smile, "Then please take a look at the true face of the Douluo Federation."

Do you Star Luo want to know how strong our Douluo Federation is?

Okay, I'll grant your request!

Let's understand the gap between us and realize our own powerlessness!

Some gaps cannot be bridged by ambition alone!
……

Above the Tiandou City Forging Association, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed, and a suffocating pressure enveloped the entire area.

The nearby Soul Masters trembled and hurriedly moved away from the area.

"Is His Majesty Zhenhua undergoing Heavenly Forging? Something feels off. Compared to previous lightning tribulations, this one seems even more terrifying?"

"...Why does this feel like a tribulation for a soul beast? Judging from the aura brewing in the lightning tribulation, the ferocious beast undergoing the tribulation is extremely powerful. It's probably at the limit level!"

While the Soul Masters outside were discussing the matter, inside the Blacksmith Association, Zhenhua looked at Xiong Jun next to the forging platform and smirked, "Your Majesty Xiong Jun, you should leave the Ascension Platform immediately, lest the lightning tribulation affect this place."

"Ok."

Xiong Jun scratched his head, sighed, and his whole body radiated violent soul power fluctuations. His arms were muscular and his golden hair shone brightly in the lightning.

"boom--!"

A thick bolt of lightning tore through the sky and struck straight down! Xiong Jun roared, but instead of dodging or avoiding it, he met the heavenly lightning head-on!

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, who were also in the Blacksmiths' Association, watched as Xiong Jun attracted the lightning tribulation. The latter tilted his head and said:

"Yuhao, how's your research on lightning tribulation going? Should we have Xiong Jun continue?"

"It's still a long way off."

Huo Yuhao said, "But after this, let Xiong Jun rest for a while."

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, "Okay."

The bear king in the sky almost burst into tears when he heard the two talking.

Is it finally time to stop trying?

Next time, please don't make fun of Lingbing...

While Xiong Jun was being struck by lightning, the Xingluo group also arrived at Tiandou City.

Along the way, they witnessed many differences between Douluo Continent and Star Luo Continent.

In remote towns, there are spirit masters helping ordinary people escape poverty.

Near the Star Dou Great Forest, there is a landscape where soul beasts and humans live in harmony.

These were scenes they had never experienced in Xingluo. As their knowledge grew, their initial confidence vanished, leaving only solemnity.

Upon arriving in Tiandou City and seeing the lightning tribulation of the Blacksmith Association in the distance, Chang Gongyan's eyes widened in shock. "That's the Blacksmith Association? Could this lightning tribulation be... the legendary Heavenly Forging?"

They, Xingluo, do not have their own divine craftsmen, which is another absolute gap between them and the Douluo Federation.

"..."

Gu Qinghan, who was assigned to accompany them, had a strange expression on her face.

Such power doesn't resemble a lightning tribulation forged by a master craftsman... it's more like a heavenly tribulation of a ferocious beast.
