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

Chapter 274 will echo the idea of ​​a collaboration; there are always fools who like to court death (4K).

The Shrek incident was just a minor episode; the competition proceeded as planned.

Because it's a knockout tournament, every team gives their all. Since injuries and fatalities don't affect the rules, brutal scenes are inevitable.

Vina, as the princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and Mu Xue both appeared in the Snow Demon Sect and successfully advanced, demonstrating their remarkable strength.

Xu Jiujiu also led the Star Luo Royal Academy into battle and successfully passed the elimination rounds.

However, almost everyone knew that passing the elimination rounds meant nothing, because the real mountain was still blocking their way. Not to mention overcoming Huo Yuhao, even given the strength that Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and the others had shown so far, they would be eliminated without a doubt if they encountered them.

On the first day, nine teams advanced in the morning. After noon, the competition continued until evening. Including the nine matches yet to be played, a total of twenty-five matches were played today. Some teams had a huge gap in strength, but unlike the first match, there were no direct casualties.

Of course, Huo Yuhao didn't care about any of this, and he didn't even care that all the Shrek Academy guys were captured.

After receiving his title at the opening ceremony and announcing it to the entire continent, he lost interest in the upcoming Baby Cup.

After receiving the response to "scapegoat," he kept thinking about something else.

That is, how to make the Final Martial Soul generate as many new echoes as possible, and make these echoes become one's most powerful trump card in the future.

There is no doubt that echoes are interconnected and can influence each other.

For example, strong luck and the echo of fate.

If we compare destiny to an innate foundation, then good fortune is an acquired variable. Good fortune can significantly improve the upper limit of destiny's performance, but it cannot break through the basic framework of destiny.

Fate determines his potential and future, much like factory settings. Simply put, if we compare fate to a vehicle model, such as a sports car or a regular car, then fate sets the boundaries of his future abilities and resilience.

Strong luck, on the other hand, helps him to maximize his potential within this established framework. Strong luck is like the road on which a vehicle travels, infinitely extending the potential of destiny.

Combining good fortune and destiny is like driving a stable and fast luxury car on a highway with no end in sight.

So now, what he needs to do is use the power of the End Martial Soul to integrate the other echoes into this framework, turning luxury cars on the highway into airplanes, or even spaceships.

This requires finding commonalities among different responses, which is not an easy task.

However, since soul skills can be linked, and Shrek Academy has been able to research a secret method that combines ring fusion with soul skill linkage, then by changing our thinking, Echo can certainly be done as well.

If he can figure this out, then when he uses his ultimate martial soul in the future, he won't need to activate the echoes of each martial soul one by one; he can simply unleash all the echoes at once.

【Heavenly Movement】 and 【Strong Luck】 bless oneself, 【Destiny】 and 【Scapegoat】 influence others, 【Breaking Through All Laws】 grants immunity to all attacks, and 【Skillful Objects】 provide assistance.
This sparked entirely new responses and can be integrated into the framework of this system; this is true mastery.

"I've finally found you, Yuhao."

The door was opened, and Meng Hongchen, Yu Qiu'er, and the others walked in together.

Before Huo Yuhao could speak, the others couldn't wait to say anything.

"Haha, Yuhao, you don't know, something really interesting happened after you left today."

"let me tell you."

Meng Hongchen chattered on and on, quickly recounting everything that had happened that day to Huo Yuhao.

Did the teacher take Zhang Lexuan away?

Huo Yuhao remained unmoved by Bei Bei's death or Yan Shaozhe and the others' imprisonment. Only after hearing that his teacher had taken away Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of Shrek Academy's inner court, did his expression change slightly.

However, he soon realized the blind spot.

Zhang Lexuan's martial soul is the moon; of course, it's perfectly acceptable to call it the Silver Moon. The attributes and characteristics of her martial soul are completely similar to her teacher's Silver Moon martial soul.

As we all know, the martial souls in Douluo Continent have the characteristic of bloodline inheritance. Excluding some common martial souls such as Blue Silver Grass, all the rarer martial souls have bloodline inheritance.

Especially for a martial soul like Silver Moon, although it may not be considered the ultimate or top-tier, it is almost impossible for it to become so common that many inheritances appear.

Just as a hammer is a hammer and a Clear Sky Hammer is a Clear Sky Hammer, the possibility of a second Silver Moon appearing in this world without a mutated martial soul is as extremely small as the Sun Moon Royal Family's Sun Martial Soul appearing in the homes of ordinary people.

Their teacher possessed twin martial souls, the Silver Moon and the Sun. The Sun martial soul came from the teacher's own one-quarter royal bloodline, while the Silver Moon martial soul came from the Kong family, a martial soul inherited by a great noble family in the Sun Moon Empire.

For example, He Caitou, despite possessing royal blood, also has twin martial souls. In addition to not having a primary Sun martial soul, he also has a Cigar martial soul inherited from his mother.

Huo Yuhao guessed that although Zhang Lexuan was born in an unknown noble family in the Heavenly Soul Empire, her Moon Martial Soul might have been inherited from her mother's lineage, meaning that her mother was a member of the Sun Moon Kong family.

This also explains why, despite being born into a minor noble family of the Heavenly Soul Clan and having her family persecuted by other clans when she was young, she was still able to awaken innate full soul power and a top-tier martial soul like the Moon.

He shook his head. Why was he thinking so much? Even if Zhang Lexuan really was a descendant of his teacher, she was saved by Mu En when she was young and grew up in Shrek Academy. Even if she knew her true lineage, she might not feel much sense of belonging here.

Who knows, with such a distorted mindset, he might even take advantage of the situation and use his identity to scheme for Shrek.

If this person were to be given a "love-obsessed" buff, Huo Yuhao felt he would need to have a talk with his teacher.

He never underestimated the bottom line of the guys Shrek had trained.

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, two more unexpected figures appeared outside the room.

After seeing Xu Jiujiu and Vina, Meng Hongchen was the first to step forward.

"Hey, what are you two doing here?"

Meng Hongchen was like a cat with its fur standing on end. For some reason, she always felt that these two guys had ill intentions, something she had noticed during the competition.

Xu Jiujiu spoke first, with a standard smile on her face.

"On behalf of the Star Luo and Heavenly Soul Empires, we congratulate His Majesty the End Douluo on achieving his title. At the same time, we have some matters that are not convenient for us to discuss with His Majesty the End."

In fact, Xu Jiujiu found it very strange that the 70,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone that his elder brother released back then could not be absorbed by anyone other than an ultimate ice attribute soul master, otherwise they would explode and die.

They released him with the same idea in mind, intending to trick the geniuses on the Sun and Moon side.

Although the Embryo Project was not carried out back then due to the sudden appearance of the Body Sect and a series of events, they knew that Meng Hongchen had obtained the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone.

But now, five years later, this person is completely unharmed, and his strength has even increased so much.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities: either Meng Hongchen has raised her attributes to the extreme level due to a fortuitous encounter, or she has not absorbed the soul bone of that Ice Jade Scorpion for the past five years.

But now it seems that the former is more likely.

Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but sigh in her heart, thinking that her elder brother was truly too clever for his own good. Not only did he fail to harm anyone, but he also indirectly helped his opponent.

Talk to me?

While lost in thought for a long time, Huo Yuhao's expression was a little strange. He didn't think he had anything that Xingluo and Tianhun could plot against him, nor did they have the ability to do so.

"Is this your idea, or your elder brother's, or your father's?" Vina asked.

"This is a decision that Jiu Jiu and I made after discussing it together."

That means what happens next has nothing to do with Xingluo and Tianhun.

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and walked out first.

"Let's go to the place you've arranged to talk."

Whether it's the Star Luo Empire or the Heavenly Soul Empire, what do they have that's worth his time? Huo Yuhao felt there wasn't, but that didn't stop him from wanting to see what kind of trouble these two royal princesses were planning.

After the three left, Meng Hongchen and Yu Qiu'er exchanged a quick glance and then secretly followed.

Xu Jiujiu's room.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"By the way, tell us what kind of compensation you're willing to offer!"

Huo Yuhao cut to the chase. He could tell at a glance what the two were up to, so he didn't bother with any more words.

Xu Jiujiu and Vina were taken aback. They had originally planned to play the emotional card, hoping to use their past weak ties with the Star Luo Empire and the Body Sect to gradually steer the conversation toward their respective plans.

However, considering Huo Yuhao's current strength, they abandoned the idea. The two sides were not equal in strength at all, so there was nothing wrong with Huo Yuhao saying such things.

After a long sigh, he looked at Huo Yuhao, who was sitting on the sofa with an indifferent expression, and said...

"Huo Yuhao, Xingluo and Tianhun want all the information about the Sun Moon regarding the soul-guided aircraft. For this, we are willing to pay a huge price that we can afford."

When no one else was around, they obviously couldn't bring themselves to address Huo Yuhao, who was even younger than them, as "Your Majesty," especially since each of them had their own agenda.

“The same goes for the Heavenly Soul,” Vina said, her expression somewhat unnatural. “Father said that there could be a corresponding exchange of benefits, even… even if it’s just me.”

The first person to look at Vina was Xu Jiujiu, who looked surprised.

Not sisters?

You didn't mention this when we discussed it before, so why are you bringing in your own agenda now?

What? Even you can do it? I could say I can too! Do you think you can have something like that all the time?!
"Obviously, that's impossible!"

Huo Yuhao refused without even thinking. He lacked nothing at the moment. Whether it was gold soul coins, soul bones, or cultivation resources, nothing could tempt him.

Although he himself did not care about the value of aircraft as a strategic aerospace soul guide, he did care about whether the continent could be unified as soon as possible, because this was related to the popularization of the Soul Art and his subsequent plans for this world.

Exchanging soul tools for what might seem like huge benefits to others, thereby disrupting the plan for the Sun and Moon to unify the continent, is not in line with his plan.

Xu Jiujiu and Vina exchanged a glance. They had clearly anticipated Huo Yuhao's clean and decisive rejection, so they quickly offered their second bargaining chip.

"Huo Yuhao, with your talent, you have the opportunity to reach that legendary realm."

"And in the past ten thousand years, the only places on the mainland where gods have been clearly recorded to have appeared are Shrek Academy and our Douluo Three Kingdoms."

“If you agree, we can transfer all the detailed records about those gods to you, as well as the places of their legacy.”

Ten thousand years ago, the original Shrek Seven Devils ascended to godhood. Most people thought it was just a legend, but only the descendants of those involved understood that it was not a fabricated history.

Although the Dai family did not inform the Xu family of the exact location of the divine succession after their abdication, and the Xu family was not qualified to inherit the divine succession of the Dai family's ancestors, this does not mean that speculation cannot be made.

For thousands of years, countless people have tried to find traces of the gods, and the Xu and Wei families were no exception.

In their view, the reason they couldn't know the location of the gods' lineage must be because they weren't qualified. So, since they weren't qualified, why not exchange this elusive thing for tangible benefits?

The Three Kingdoms are now in a precarious situation. If they could exchange the unattainable divine inheritance for weapons and benefits, wouldn't that be a good thing?

Furthermore, after the Shrek Seven Devils became gods, they disappeared from this world and have never shown any trace of themselves over the past ten thousand years, no matter how the continent has changed.

Does this mean that even if Huo Yuhao really has the opportunity to become a god, after he becomes a god, will he also follow the path of the original Shrek Seven Devils and disappear from this world?

This is a win-win situation.

It's not their fault; after all, they only had limited information. It was already quite impressive that they could deduce these things and even make some calculations based on them.

"That's it?"

Huo Yuhao scoffed.

If he didn't have the idea of ​​creation, if he weren't Huo Yuhao, if he didn't know the current situation of the God Realm, perhaps he really would be interested in this kind of thing.

However, I'm sorry to say, he has already made detailed plans for the future, and even arranged the paths for Meng Hongchen and others. He has very little interest in the godhood realm that all the top powerhouses in Douluo Continent crave.

"If this is the purpose of your conversation with me, and the bargaining chip you can offer, then I can only say, I'm sorry."

After saying that, he was about to leave, but there are always some people who fail to recognize the situation and are self-righteous.

"Young man, you've only just entered the Title Douluo realm. I admit your talent is unprecedented, but isn't this arrogance a bit too overbearing?!"

The Nebula Douluo, who had been secretly protecting Xu Jiujiu, now harbored evil intentions. In her eyes, Huo Yuhao was only a newly appointed Title Douluo, while she herself had spent many years cultivating at the level of a 93rd-level Title Douluo.

Such a talented kid really shouldn't continue living in this world. From a different perspective, in a few years, this kid's existence will definitely be a disaster for Xingluo.

The opportunity is rare; even if I self-destruct, I might have a chance to die together with this kid.

"Grandma Manyi, no!"

Xu Jiujiu tried to stop it, but it was too late.

"Arrogant?" Huo Yuhao almost burst out laughing.

She's always been this brave. Doesn't he know who he is? Didn't he see how she dominated the entire audience at the opening ceremony?

"Old man, I think you really can't tell the difference between the king and the queen!"

Interesting, very interesting. It's been a long time since anyone has challenged me like this. This old guy is something else.

However, that won't be the case for long!
Nine spirit rings appeared instantly. Huo Yuhao's movements were magnified slowly in front of Nebula Douluo. Under the powerful pressure, she couldn't even do a simple summoning of spirit rings.

Huo Yuhao's voice sounded to her like a final judgment from hell.

"You never had a choice!"
