Douluo Continent: A Fallen Immortal Descends to Earth, Slaying Gods with a Drunken Sword

Chapter 457 The First Clash with Ma Xiaotao, The Soul-Devouring Carving Blade (Side Story)
Had dinner.

Zhang Lexuan originally intended to arrange accommodation for Huo Yuhao so that he could wait at the academy for the competition a month later.

Huo Yuhao politely declined.

Looking at the faint hint of aloofness in the young man's eyes, she sighed inwardly.

Joining Shrek Academy shouldn't be rushed; it requires a gradual approach.

"Junior brother, if you need anything, you can come to the inner courtyard to find me at any time."

Zhang Lexuan said seriously:

"Since we come from the same school, we should support each other and there's no need to be strangers."

Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.

Zhang Lexuan escorted him all the way to the academy gate, watching his figure gradually disappear into the distance before turning and leaving.

"Yuhao, that's enough. Your senior sister has already gone far away."

In the sea of ​​knowledge.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed:
"Your teacher is truly a master."

"Alas, now that my divine position is gone, I must be more careful from now on."

Huo Yuhao nodded.

Then Tianmeng Bingcan jokingly said:
"Yuhao, I think your senior sister is pretty good."

"She has outstanding looks, decent talent, and a highly respected position in Shrek Academy."

"If you were to marry her, wouldn't cultivation resources be readily available to you?"

You'd better seize this opportunity!

Huo Yuhao said helplessly:

"Brother Tianmeng, you must be joking."

"I already have plans for my future cultivation path."

At this time.

Electrolux began:

"Are you plotting against that Soul-Devouring Carving Blade?"

"Exactly."

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and said:

“In my previous life, I bought the ‘Soul-Devouring Blade’ at the Starlight Auction House for 100,000 gold soul coins.”

"After being purified by you, Elder Yi, it can be transformed into the 'Blade of Guardianship of Living Beings'."

Electrolux agreed:
“Yuhao, you’ve moved much faster in this life, so you really don’t need to follow the rules anymore.”

"That Soul-Devouring Carving Knife contains the metal of life, which can help you open the Eye of Life, grant your physical body immortality, and further boost your spiritual power."

"With those two kinds of pills you have, I'm afraid it could reach level 50 in soul power."

Such an opportunity must not be missed.

Huo Yuhao clenched his fist and nodded emphatically.

The Starlight Auction House is hidden deep beneath the imperial city of the Star Luo Empire.

When Huo Yuhao arrived, travel-worn, it was already two days later.

According to convention.

Strict verification is required to enter the auction venue.

But when he showed the token given to him by Moon, he passed through all the checkpoints without any hindrance.

"The title of 'teacher' is indeed very useful."

"This token was originally intended to make things easier for me within the academy, but I never expected it to have such power at the auction house."

He put the token bearing the emblem of the Holy Dragon of Light back into his pocket and stepped into the auction house, which was famous throughout the continent.

The venue was resplendent with gold.

The crystal chandelier illuminates the murals on the dome, showcasing luxury and grandeur everywhere.

"I obtained the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade three years later in my previous life."

"This knife is exceptionally malevolent, and none of its previous owners met a good end, so no one has ever dared to use it."

"Hopefully the murder weapon will remain at the auction house now."

Huo Yuhao had a clear goal for this trip. He did not participate in the ongoing auction, but went straight to the person in charge of the auction.

Faced with this mysterious young man who possessed the legendary token of the Dragon God Douluo, the person in charge dared not be negligent, but his face showed difficulty:

"Please understand, according to the rules of the auction house, the information of both the buyer and the seller must not be disclosed."

He changed the subject, bowed, and said:
"But I'm sure you won't tell anyone."

"To be honest, that murder weapon had been sitting at the auction house for several years, and it was bought just two days ago."

"what?"

Huo Yuhao frowned.

This is completely different from the future he knew.

Is it simply a matter of timing, and the murder weapon will only return to the auction house three years from now?
Or was it because of his rebirth that the trajectory of fate was changed?
"Yuhao, don't worry."

Electrolux's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Fate is mysterious and unpredictable; it is likely that no one but that person can fully fathom its secrets."

Even if rebirth brings changes, it will eventually return to its predetermined trajectory.

"The Soul-Devouring Carving Blade is destined to be your opportunity."

Huo Yuhao felt a little more at ease and asked again:
"Who bought it?"

The person in charge took out a recording-type soul tool and tapped it lightly with their fingertip.

When the image of that fiery red-haired beauty appeared on the light screen, Huo Yuhao was stunned. "Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao?!"

Huo Yuhao spent another two days returning to Shrek Academy.

"What does Senior Sister Ma Xiaotao need the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife for?"

"She also doesn't know how to make soul tools."

With this question in mind.

He strolled to the shore of Poseidon Lake at the academy.

In his previous life, he first met Ma Xiaotao at the Sea God Lake.

The vast expanse of blue water was like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky.

Ancient trees reach for the sky along the lake, and weeping willows sway gently. The misty water vapor contains abundant water energy, which refreshes the mind and spirit.

"Senior Sister Ma possesses the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, and she needs to constantly extinguish the blazing flames within her body, otherwise she will be corroded by the evil fire."

"The area around the Sea God Lake is rich in water-attribute energy, making it an ideal place for her to suppress her evil fire and cultivate."

Think of this in your mind.

Huo Yuhao simply found a spot on a blue stone by the lake and sat cross-legged.

A gentle breeze ruffled his slightly disheveled hair.

The young man was already immersed in cultivation.

"Cultivation is like rowing against the current."

"Only by cherishing every moment can one ascend to the divine realm and step into the true realm of the gods."

This meditative state lasted for several hours.

As dusk falls, the lake is bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, its shimmering surface tinged with a sense of desolation.

Just at this time.

As Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan strolled hand in hand, they spotted the figure sitting quietly.

"Huh, it's Huo Yuhao again? Could it be that he joined the academy?"

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, eager to try.

"He is really diligent in his cultivation; every time I see him, he is working hard."

"Let's go say hello."

Jiang Nannan tugged at Xiaoxiao's sleeve, her head slightly shaking.

"Let's not disturb them. We'll just stay here and take a look."

She still felt a sense of fear when she recalled the scene of his head being crushed in the far north.

Xiao Xiao pouted.

"alright."

"Judging from Huo Yuhao's expression, is he waiting for someone again?"

"Now the whole academy is talking about Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan traveling with a young man. Could it be that we're waiting for Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan today?"

Jiang Nannan shook her head.

"do not know."

While the two were talking.

A fiery red suddenly appeared on the lake surface as dusk settled.

Huo Yuhao seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes.

In the dim light, his bright pupils shot out three feet away.

With his eyesight...

Then, Ma Xiaotao, with her jade-like cheeks flushed red like fire, her red hair flying like flames, and her body surging with intense soul power, broke through the waves and came.

Wherever you go.

Thick white mist rose from the lake.

This scene is so similar to our first encounter in a past life.

"Fate is indeed mysterious and unpredictable."

In just over ten breaths.

Ma Xiaotao darted within a few meters of Huo Yuhao.

Her soul power surged like a raging fire, bringing with it scorching steam that rushed towards Huo Yuhao.

"Huo Yuhao, watch out!"

Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan gasped in shock.

Facing the oncoming heat wave.

Huo Yuhao stretched out his palm and pressed it towards the lakeside.

hum!
A wave of icy blue ripples spread from his palm.

Wherever you go.

Water vapor condensed into ice crystals, which then fluttered down onto the lake surface.

The lake water in front of him froze rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Click, click, click!

Click, click, click!

The ice crackled and, carrying a chilling cold, spread toward the crimson figure.

The forces of ice and fire collided violently on the twilight-shrouded lake shore.
