Douluo: Crossing the Yuhao Star Palace Master

Chapter 2: Collect some interest and leave
Huo Yuhao returned to the woodshed where the mother and son lived, took out a set of clean clothes, and washed his body thoroughly in the river.

For some reason, his meridians became incomparably wider, and his soul power flowed happily through them. This was a feeling he had never experienced before.

This incomparably comfortable feeling made him extremely excited, and even the hunger he should have felt disappeared completely.

He discovered that his soul power was flowing naturally along a path he had never seen before, and for some reason his soul power had reached a bottleneck.

What was particularly strange was that when he began to wonder, a string of words suddenly appeared in his mind - "Star Attraction Technique".

This is a method of drawing the power of the stars into the body, and cultivating the body, soul and spirit power at the same time.

This was one of the gains he gained from yesterday's adventure.

After putting on his clothes, Huo Yuhao looked at the Duke's Mansion in the distance and had some vague plans in mind. The abilities he currently possessed gave him some confidence.

A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists, saying to himself, "Collect some interest before you leave!"

The Duke of White Tiger's Mansion is divided into the inner mansion and the outer mansion.

The inner palace was where the Duke and his family lived, while the outer palace was for servants and the palace guards. The firewood room where Huo Yuhao and his mother lived was located in the outermost corner of the outer palace. This treatment could not be any worse.

At the Duchess's behest, the steward of the northern courtyard of the outer mansion and his servants frequently came to cause trouble. His mother was asked to do the laundry that should have been done by other servants, and the benefits that should have been allocated to them by the Duke's mansion were intercepted and deducted by these people. With no one to protect them, they were often beaten by these servants.
As long as you don’t die, who cares?

Oh, his mother is dead, is there anyone to see her?
What these outwardly powerful but actually weak dogs like to do most is to bully others, especially those who are originally of higher status than them. The pleasure of pulling down the gods from the altar is something these scums enjoy immensely. They come here every day and rarely miss it.

After all, the Duchess gave the instructions herself, so they would definitely do their best. After all, only by pleasing the master can they gain greater benefits.

The crude use of the power of the stars gave Huo Yuhao an ability, which he named "Starlight Camouflage".

By initially fusing his mental and soul powers to draw the power of the stars and distort the space within a one-meter radius around him, Huo Yuhao quietly arrived at the core courtyard of the North Courtyard, where the steward of the North Courtyard lived.

There are a total of six stewards in the inner and outer courts of the Duke's Mansion. The steward of the inner court is a relative of the White Tiger Clan, with the strength of a Soul King, and is in charge of all the servants and slaves in the inner and outer courts.

Among the five stewards of the outer mansion, there is a chief steward with the cultivation level of Soul Sect. There is also a deputy steward in each of the four courtyards in the east, west, south and north. Their cultivation levels are between Great Soul Master and Soul Venerable.

The person in the North Courtyard who has a grudge against Huo Yuhao happens to be a Soul Master.

When Huo Yuhao came, he had no intention of assassinating the Soul Master head-on. He had calculated that it was now ten o'clock in the evening, and the housekeeper had to get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning to prepare for the day's work. At this time, even if the housekeeper did not sleep, he had to practice, which meant that he had the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

He only has one chance to come and go quietly.

In addition to the starlight camouflage, he currently also possesses another ability of using the power of stars - star purple fire.

This flame, derived from the burning power of the stars, possessed the property of burning everything. Once it caught fire, it would spread rapidly until everything was consumed. Of course, Huo Yuhao only had an extremely weak flame at his disposal, but even so, it was more than enough to kill a Soul Master.

Huo Yuhao leaned sideways and put his ear against the window. He could faintly hear bursts of gentle breathing from inside the room. He was sure that the deputy housekeeper was the only one in the room.

Huo Yuhao looked carefully and found that there was no alarm or anything like that in front of the gatehouse. He quietly opened a crack in the door and went in.

The house is not too big. It is a regular square hall with a tea table and two chairs. Further inside is the inner room separated by a curtain, which is where the housekeeper rests.

Huo Yuhao observed carefully and made sure there was no problem before entering the inner room.

A short and skinny middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating and practicing.

Yes, this is the deputy steward, the person Huo Yuhao must kill today.

Huo Yuhao's heart was beating wildly at this moment, and emotions such as tension, anger, murderous intent, etc. rushed up all at once, but reason suppressed these impulses and forced Huo Yuhao to make the most correct choice.

He held the White Tiger Dagger in one hand and a hatchet in the other and slowly approached his target. Then he activated his soul power, and a wisp of deep purple flame wrapped around the White Tiger Dagger and fiercely stabbed it into the middle-aged man's dantian. At the same moment, his other hand took the hatchet and chopped his throat!

The middle-aged man opened his eyes in pain. His dantian was shattered, all his cultivation was wasted, and his throat had been cut so that no sound could come out. Only blood spurted out of the two holes in his body.

He looked at the young figure in front of him in disbelief, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He was unwilling to fall down like this, and staggered to stand up, wanting to strangle Huo Yuhao's neck and take him to death with him.

Huo Yuhao, covered in blood, looked at the dying steward with a ferocious smile, his deep blue eyes bloodshot, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

The middle-aged man flapped his hands in fear. He didn't dare to have the same thought again. He tried to stay away from Huo Yuhao in fear, but as expected, his idea was dispelled.

Huo Yuhao stomped hard on his lower body, climbed onto the bed, and chopped and stabbed him again. The huge head was cut off and rolled to the ground.

Huo Yuhao chopped the corpse a few more times in anger before giving up. He sat on the bed expressionlessly for a while, then lightly tapped the spoils, a two-cubic storage soul guide bracelet with more than a hundred gold soul coins and more than fifty silver soul coins in it, but no copper soul coins.

He briefly searched the house again and put everything of some value into the soul guide.

Before leaving, he kicked the ball back onto the bed to keep it company with the other half, and then he swaggered away.

Time was running out, so after leaving the deputy housekeeper, Huo Yuhao quickly rushed to the courtyard where the servants lived. Under the cover of the starlight camouflage, he easily entered the house. He swiftly harvested the servants who were sleeping like dead pigs on the bunk bed, and counted the spoils again: two gold soul coins, twenty silver soul coins, and more than a hundred bronze soul coins.

After collecting all the interest, Huo Yuhao returned to the woodshed where he and his mother once lived. He put his clothes into his soul guide, then ran north without looking back, his destination being the Star Dou Great Forest!
