Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 81 The Seeds of Hatred Have Been Sown (Please Read On!)

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Aside from Dai Huabin, one of the strongest newcomers, being stabbed in the waist by a level 17 Soul Master, which prevented him from unleashing his full potential in the following matches, and then encountering Xie Huanyue and his group, he was defeated and could only regretfully achieve a third-place finish.

Huo Yuhao, this dark horse, has emerged.

Although he remained invisible within the team, after Xiao Xiao left, Fan Yu did his utmost to place a level 25 Great Soul Master in his team—someone who had missed the recruitment registration due to an accident, but by chance, Fan Yu encountered him. (The power of destiny rotates)

Since helping him defeat Dai Huabin, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm has never made another move, supposedly because there are too many strong people at Shrek Academy, and his last action had already attracted the attention of some people...

Huo Yuhao is working so hard because he desperately needs the status of a core disciple. Right now, avenging his mother is his top priority, so he followed Tianmeng's advice—to absorb Shrek Academy's resources as much as possible to strengthen himself and avenge his mother first.

As for Su Wen, he is indeed someone he cannot afford to provoke right now.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao chose to endure.

Even when he was transferred to the class of Mu Jin, Zhou Yi's arch-rival, he remained silent and activated his "invisibility" skill.

Even Dai Huabin, who wished he could kill him, didn't realize that the little bitch had actually "infiltrated" his class.

Wang Dong obtained a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone from the Haotian Sect and gave it to Xiao Xiao for free as an apology. The latter repeatedly refused, but under Wang Dong's firm attitude, she accepted this friendship.

"Congratulations, students, on passing the first round of assessment."

on the square.

Du Weilen spoke with a smile.

"Next, I will announce the awards."

"First place, Su Wen's team!"

"Papa papa ~"

The entire playground erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Su Wen, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng took a few steps forward, drawing envious glances from the crowd. Even Dai Huabin, who disliked Su Wen, had no objection to their first-place finish.

After all, this person had just fought Zhou Yi head-on, and could even cripple a Soul Emperor. His talent was so monstrous that it was terrifying. It would be hard to find anyone comparable to him even if you looked through the history books. He was likely to reach the Limit Douluo level in the future. He was Shrek Academy's treasure.

So no one was thinking about competing with him; they were only thinking about how to get closer to him.

From the first day of the knockout stage.

The fact that all the teams Su Wen encountered surrendered revealed something suspicious; the only difference was the excuse they gave for surrendering—diarrhea, menstruation, etc.

"Second place, Evil Moon Squad!"

"Third place, Dai Huabin's team!"

"Exit!"

Du Weilin announced the reward in just a few words.

Besides the first team to obtain a soul bone, the top four teams will each have the opportunity to receive help from a powerful academy member to acquire a soul ring.

Then comes the selection of core disciples.

"Su Wen!"

"Ning Tian!"

"Witch Wind!"

"..."

"Chen Yanjin!"

All the way to Huo Yuhao's team.

Huo Yuhao's face was filled with barely concealed excitement. This was the first time he had reached fourth place in the freshman team through his own efforts.

I'm looking forward to Du Weiren reading out my name.

but……

The latter glanced at Huo Yuhao, but skipped over him and called out the name of another member of the team: "Wang Tao!" (In the original work, he had a martial soul fusion technique and won first place in the freshman team, so Du Weilun gave him a "backup" core disciple position. Now that he is invisible the whole time, he is unlikely to even get a "backup" position.)
"Lan Susu, Lan Luoluo!" "There are eleven of you in total. I hope you will achieve even greater success in the future..."

Huo Yuhao stood there, stunned. The joy and excitement on his face slowly froze, as if he had sunk into another world. At that moment, all sounds faded away from him, and he felt as if he were drowning in water.

He worked so hard, and finally achieved results.

But at this moment, he looks like a clown.

"Next is the list of candidates for core disciples."

"Long Xiangyue, Cui Yajie, Nanmen Yun'er, Huang Chutian... The reading is complete."

A burst of enthusiastic applause followed.

Huo Yuhao's heart sank to the bottom.

His name is still not there...

The boy appears resilient, but in reality, he harbors a dark side that is hard for ordinary people to imagine. The trauma he suffered in his childhood cannot be easily healed. In the original work, he had the care of a group of teachers and the companionship of his lover, which made him feel at home in Shrek Academy. This dark side was suppressed, but it also had some subtle eruptions later on—for example, the Mingdu explosion, where he had no respect for life.

How many people can an ordinary evil spirit master kill in a lifetime?
Even exceeding 10,000 is unlikely.

However, Huo Yuhao slaughtered at least hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians during his trip to Mingdu alone. Not to mention that later, when he was unable to defeat the Sun Moon Empire, he used the pretext of assassinating Xu Tianran to massacre unarmed civilians in Mingdu.

He didn't fall into the evil soul master path; he was tricked into becoming the holy son by Zhongli Wu purely because Ilex suppressed him. Otherwise, when he first encountered the Soul King in the Mingdou Mountains, he probably would have already opened the door to a new world.

And this life.

The dark side of my heart couldn't be suppressed.

Tianmeng remained silent in the sea of ​​consciousness, watching the boy with his head down, letting the shadows cover his face, his fists clenched almost into his flesh.

What it needs is a young man who can embark on the path to godhood.

Rather than a cowardly and incompetent boy whose only goal is to avenge his mother.

Even if the path to godhood is slightly crooked, as long as one possesses great power—Rakshasa God is a god too, so there's nothing wrong with killing.

The first step to transformation and growth is overcoming setbacks.

So it didn't offer any words of comfort.

Instead, he allowed a seed of hatred to be planted in Huo Yuhao's heart, and then take root and sprout.

After a long while, the awards ceremony ended.

As everyone dispersed.

Tianmeng said leisurely, "Yuhao, your efforts have paid off. Although you've lost your core disciple status, it's still quite good that Shrek Academy experts helped you hunt for spirit rings. Quickly cultivate to level 20 these next two days and get ready to set off..."

"Okay, Brother Tianmeng..."

Huo Yuhao said in a low voice.

……

P.S.: I've always felt that Huo Gua's luck didn't come from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and that he wasn't ruined just because the silkworm's molt was taken away.

The chosen one of destiny on the mainland couldn't be that fragile; he was just interfered with by the protagonist's extra power. But if the protagonist really wanted to kill him, the Douluo Continent would probably intervene.

There are also arrangements regarding Huo's departure.

After a while, they'll run off to the Body Sect or the Holy Spirit Sect.

Shrek Academy has no future. Tianmeng will eventually entice them to run away. As for why the protagonist didn't deal with them in advance... I said before that killing the Chosen One is too troublesome. What if they are resurrected after being killed and then secretly develop in the shadows? It would be a loss.

It would be better to keep him in front of the protagonist—of course, he doesn't necessarily have to stay at Shrek Academy, as long as he doesn't change his identity, even if he runs to the Holy Spirit Cult to become a holy son, it would count.

The protagonist and the Holy Spirit Cult are mortal enemies, which will begin a few chapters later.

Although the previous book followed the Holy Spirit Cult route, this one will be about chasing and killing people, hehe.
