Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 272 The End of the Title Conferment: I Heard the Echo of the [Scapegoat]! (4K)

boom! !

The only word to describe the situation at this moment is "explosive".

As the figure slowly entered the arena, countless people felt a range of emotions: envy, admiration, awe, fear, and resentment. But none of them looked down on him.

Almost everyone knew just how valuable this grand spectacle was, given the occasion, the opportunity, the setting of the imperial crown prince, and the backing of top experts.

It can be said that even if Huo Yuhao didn't have such an extraordinary age advantage, or his previous dazzling reputation, just based on the current hype, his fame would be enough to spread throughout the entire continent, making countless people aware of his name.

This was a huge blow to the teams from the three kingdoms. The moment Huo Yuhao appeared, the moment he was about to be promoted to a title, everyone knew that they were completely out of the running for the championship.

They, a team of ordinary Soul Kings and Soul Emperors, are going to fight a Title Douluo? Are they kidding me!

On Shrek Academy's side, Yan Shaozhe and Bei Bei looked at Huo Yuhao, who was the center of attention, and the former couldn't help but whisper a sarcastic remark.

"Hmph, he became a Title Douluo at the age of twenty. I wonder how much of that achievement is real."

His words were a veiled criticism of the Sun Moon Empire's drug use, since even during Shrek Academy's peak, there had never been a Title Douluo of such an age.

Beibei found it difficult to describe her current feelings.

If you were to say that when you first met Huo Yuhao in Xingluo City, you were just feeling sorry for the little guy who used to live a precarious life in the Star Dou Great Forest, he had suddenly become quite lucky, then you were very resentful after Huo Yuhao shattered your 'Dao Heart' with two punches.

So now, there is only despair, utter despair.

"How did this guy do that?"

Only Zhang Lexuan stared at the figure that had already walked to the center of the field, remaining silent for a long time, as if she wanted to remember him completely.

On Xingluo's side, Xu Jiujiu's expression was also shifting, his eyes filled with extremely complex emotions, as was Vina's.

Almost simultaneously, feelings of inferiority arose in the hearts of the two women. Could they really catch up with someone like Huo Yuhao in the future?

Unlike the mixed feelings on the other side, Meng Hongchen and Yu Qiu'er were both looking up in admiration at the figure under the spotlight.

Even Xu Tianzhen and Ju Zi, who was next to Xu Tianran, couldn't control their expressions at this moment, their eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao and unable to look away.

It would be a lie to say that Huo Yuhao, who was being watched by hundreds of thousands of eyes, was not at all unmoved, but to be honest, he was in better condition than ever before.

The formalities still need to be followed. His title had already been discussed and decided long ago. Now, all that needs to be done is to proceed with the script according to the established plan.

So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he stood in the center of the field, his gaze slowly sweeping across the arena. Under the mental detection, almost everyone felt that they had exposed everything about themselves in Huo Yuhao's eyes, like a child without any cover.

His expression was aloof, and his voice was solemn yet calm.

"Today, I, Huo Yuhao, at the age of seventeen, have stepped into the realm of Title Douluo as a Soul Master and Soul Instructor, and hereby declare that I have become a member of the Sun Moon Empire's ninth-level Soul Instructor sequence."

"I cannot live without the nurturing of the Sun Moon Soul Master Academy and the Empire. Aba aba."

"I will never keep this honor to myself. Today, in the name of 'The End,' I declare to the entire continent that from this day forward, I am—the End Douluo."

"."

At the same time, under the influence of mental interference, nine spirit rings with ratios different from those known on the continent slowly emerged.

An immense pressure instantly filled the entire arena. Not to mention ordinary Soul Kings and Soul Emperors, even titled powerhouses felt completely unable to withstand it.

Faced with such power, they felt as if they were a small boat on a vast ocean, at risk of being swallowed by giant waves at any moment.

"Are you kidding me? Such mental pressure! What level of mental power is this?!"

"Spirit rings, what kind of spirit rings are these? Why are they all red?!"

"Is this really someone who has just entered the Title Douluo realm? Even those Limit Douluos don't have this kind of pressure!"

"."

In the Sea of ​​Spirit, Tianmeng was so happy she almost jumped for joy.

"Awesome, this is absolutely awesome."

Foolish mortals, you can hardly believe a 100,000-year spirit ring. If my million-year spirit ring were to be revealed, you would be scared to death.

Hahaha.
Not far away, Xiao Hongchen and the others were also somewhat moved, because Huo Yuhao had never shown enough strength, and they had never been clear about the true gap between them and Huo Yuhao.

But now, it's clear, completely clear. With Yuhao's current strength, he could beat them all without even having to turn the tables.

From then on, no one dared to question the authenticity of this promotion, and absolutely no one would doubt whether Huo Yuhao, at such a young age, had truly become a Title Douluo.

After all, spirit rings can't be faked. The nine crimson spirit rings were right there, and their overwhelming sense of oppression was impossible to fake.

Gollum~
The oppressive aura dissipated in an instant, but the entire arena still gasped in shock, the sounds rising and falling in waves.

A titled Douluo at less than twenty years old, and a level nine Soul Master—that's quite impressive.
It can be said that any power or country, if it has a seed like Huo Yuhao to inherit the future central authority, can continue to live in peace for hundreds of years. This is beyond doubt.

With such strength and at such a young age, it can be said that there is no risk of him falling from grace. In just a little time, he will become a top-tier combatant on the continent, no, perhaps the strongest combatant.

The naming rules for titles generally prioritize the characteristics of the martial spirit, and can also incorporate artistic conception and mythology, or be a projection of experiences before becoming a titled person.

Choosing "The End" as his title was also the result of Huo Yuhao's careful consideration.

Whether it's his second martial soul, the Bell of the End, or the End World he plans to create in the future, these two words perfectly meet his requirements as titles.

And the instant he finished speaking, countless cheers and shouts erupted.

"The End Douluo! The End Douluo!!"

"Long live!!"

Does "the end" mean the end of everything?

Many people on the Sun and Moon side unconsciously had this thought in their minds. They could even feel the final state of all things returning to nothingness contained in those two words.

In their eyes, Huo Yuhao, as the number one genius of their Sun Moon Sect, had a martial soul named Spirit Eye, which was named after the End, and the meaning behind it was self-evident.

This person definitely wants to end this era and push the sun and moon to new heights.

"When the war ended, only ruins remained."

The Three Kingdoms had a different perspective. They felt that Huo Yuhao's use of "The End" as a name was an expression of his ideals and a demonstration that he wanted to end the era of Soul Masters that had lasted for ten thousand years in the Three Kingdoms.

Moreover, this boy, who has never appeared in ten thousand years and may never appear again, is qualified to do this.

Of course, as for what other people think, that's a matter of opinion.

After all, not many people knew that Huo Yuhao possessed a second martial soul, and only a few close friends and family members knew about the Bell of the End.

They simply extended their imaginations in other directions.

"The End Douluo, what a glorious moment for Yuhao."

"Good, ambitious, and you haven't disgraced yourself. You truly deserve to be my last disciple." Kong Deming and Du Busi looked gratified. At this moment, they both felt that being able to take Huo Yuhao as their disciple was the best decision they had ever made in their lives.

This child has the potential to become a god. As long as this child is around, the Body Sect and the Hall of Worship may well achieve the same glory as Shrek Academy for ten thousand years.

What is brought about by countless shouts and waves of hundreds of thousands of voices?
Huo Yuhao was unaware that, the moment the word "End" was uttered, amidst the increasingly loud cheers for the word "End" from the entire audience, his End Martial Soul once again stirred up ripples.

In the midst of extreme emotions, a bell pattern slowly emerged, following the echoing bell pattern of the [Skillful Object], becoming yet another echo of the Bell of the End.

And so, under the watchful eyes of 100,000 people, the bell that had been heard by countless people in Star Luo City once again rang out, the bell of destiny resounding once more in the minds of everyone present.

"I heard the echo of [scapegoating]!"

The first echo of the Bell of the End, once activated, was not actually under Huo Yuhao's control. This was true for the first [Fate], and it was also true for [Strong Luck].

Once his emotions reach an extreme point, and the timing is right, the response will be powerful.

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.

Xu Tianran quickly ordered the Royal Soul Master Legion to maintain order and prevent chaos from breaking out at the scene.

"It's that kind of bell sound again. Huo Yuhao's second martial soul ability is really hard to understand."

The bells that resonated during the Soul Venerable era are naturally incomparable to the bells that resonate now at the Title level.

Even though "Breaking Ten Thousand Laws" is a three-word echo while "Scapegoat" is only a two-word echo, Huo Yuhao's current strength is enough to make the bell toll further and allow the echo to exert greater power.

The moment this echo, named "Scapegoat," resounded, it instilled a subconscious unease in everyone present.

Under the echo, everything about them seemed to no longer belong to them, as if it could escape their control at any moment.

Not only these ordinary people, but even top experts like Du Busi and Kong Deming seemed unable to control themselves, their hearts filled with unease.

Only Gu Yuena remained undisturbed, gazing at Huo Yuhao's figure with a kind of infatuation, completely absorbed in it.

"Yuhao, that kid, really knows how to surprise us."

Regardless, this demonstrates the further improvement of their disciple's abilities. Kong Deming and Du Busi naturally want to maintain the stability of the arena to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and causing trouble.

Among the crowd, two figures, also dressed in black cloaks and looking somewhat out of place like the remnants of Shrek, shook their heads in unison.

Long Xiaoyao had no intention of coming here, but Ye Xishui wanted to cause trouble. After the Holy Spirit Cult was destroyed and its last strength was also destroyed in Shrek City, Ye Xishui, the former Supreme Leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, was particularly dissatisfied.

This trip here was also a covert collaboration with the royal families of the Three Kingdoms, preparing to help them complete their plan to blow up the Ming capital's armory.

However, after Kong Deming and Du Busi appeared, and Huo Yuhao exerted his pressure, causing this series of changes, this ridiculous idea completely vanished.

No way, absolutely not. They dare to cause trouble in Mingdu. Others may not know, but those two are definitely doomed.

The bell tolled quickly and then disappeared just as fast. The eerie feeling that had been hanging over everyone vanished as if nothing had ever happened.

But the hundreds of thousands of spectators present understood that what had just happened was definitely not as simple as the Final Douluo Huo Yuhao using his second martial soul.

This marks the dawn of a new era.

In later years, people regarded this competition as the clearest dividing line between the new and old eras, and clearly stated that this was one of the most memorable events for Huo Yuhao, the Final Douluo, as he first stepped onto the historical stage. Of course, these are all stories for later.

The bell tolled and Huo Yuhao put away the Ultimate Martial Soul, but the bell pattern engraved under the [Craftsmanship] still made him unable to calm down.

After causing such a commotion, and especially eager to test the echo's ability, Huo Yuhao was unwilling to stay here any longer.

Amidst the cheers and shouts of 100,000 people, he naturally stepped down from the 'stage'.

Behind them, the teams from the three kingdoms remained unusually silent. They understood that for them, participating in the upcoming matches was the most important thing.

To win, they must overcome Huo Yuhao, but everyone knows that this is an impossible task.

This might be the first time in the history of mainland China that the outcome of a competition has been determined before the match even begins.

After Huo Yuhao left, Xu Tianran, as the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire, announced the start of the competition.

As for what the three kingdoms thought and what they planned to do, that was beyond his control.

Huo Yuhao is nominally the captain, but in reality, he doesn't need to worry too much about the competition. He can just let Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and the others fight their way through.

As a team that had already secured the championship and was the previous champion, Sun and Moon only needed to play in the first elimination match of the opening ceremony, and then they could do whatever they wanted.

Therefore, Meng Hongchen and the others stayed at the Mingdu Arena, while Huo Yuhao casually found a hotel to study the newly activated [Scapegoat] echo.

in the room.

The Bell of the End appeared, the sixth echoing bell pattern after [Craftsmanship], radiating an exceptionally eerie color on the Martial Soul.

Huo Yuhao had already made a guess. Rather than comparing the echo to an ability, he was more inclined to think that the echo was a rule, a universal rule that reached the essence of the world.

The mechanism of the [Scapegoat] echo is no different from the previous echoes; it changes based on the strength of his will and beliefs.

After triggering the [Scapegoat] Echo, he will gain the ability to scapegoat, which can forcibly transfer fatal damage to himself or others, and unconditionally bear or transfer any ability damage that the target is about to suffer.

Transferring fatal damage sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? It seems like some overpowered soul skills can do this. But don't forget, Echo is a rule-level ability, which means that any attack that cannot reach the rule level cannot kill him or those around him.

Why mention people around us? Because the problem with this response lies in the word 'coercion'.

For anyone else, having the ability to take the blame for others would be incredibly ridiculous—why should I die for you? But for him, it all makes perfect sense.

This means that he can forcibly transfer any harm that could injure or kill those around him onto himself, and this is absolutely true.

With the [Heavenly Movement], he is practically immortal and can recover instantly. Any damage inflicted on him can be completely healed with a single [Heavenly Movement] echo.

This means that, if he so chooses, he can actively protect those he wants to safeguard from any harm.

Of course, the [scapegoat] echo is also limited; it cannot be activated indefinitely.

"In this way, the echo has been activated by almost half, leaving six bell-shaped patterns unfilled."

Aside from the ever-present "Endless Life," Huo Yuhao had no idea what kind of response he would be triggered next.

He also discovered that the triggers for his own responses seemed to have no specific rules or scenarios, and were completely random.

This demonstrates that, apart from extreme emotions and will, echoes possess complete randomness.

"We need to focus our attention on the feedback mechanism from now on."

The stronger the response, the better.

Even without deliberately seeking a response, the more responses one receives, the more rules one can be involved in.

It will definitely be beneficial for improving one's own strength and for preparing for the next creation.
