Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 1: Transmigration, but Huo Yuhao
Duke White Tiger's Mansion

A massive mansion covering more than 3,000 acres, where every brick and tile radiates a hazy golden light under the sun, and sunlight shines through the glazed tiles of the eaves, reflecting on the ground in ripples like water.

Even a single tile or stone here would be something an ordinary person in the Douluo Continent could only afford after a lifetime of hard work.

After all, this is the territory of Duke Baihu. Just thinking about the Star Luo Military God who guarded the Mingdou Mountains and the ancestor Dai Mubai who ascended ten thousand years ago, even the lowest-ranking serfs would proudly stand tall!

Of course, not all parts of such a vast territory can bask in the sun's blessings.

In a simple house near the back gate of the Duke's mansion, a thin, black-haired boy of about ten years old sat on a stool, looking out the window with a melancholy expression.

The servants coming and going were like the roots of a great tree, freely drawing nutrients from the earth to nourish the great tree that was the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Seeing them busy, Huo Yuhao's mind, which had been somewhat dazed by the overwhelming amount of information, regained its clarity.

"Douluo Continent? Or the era of Peerless Tang Sect? This is so lame."

If you were to ask netizens from previous lives to discuss which period of the Douluo Continent series would be the most suitable for time travel, they would probably have a very good debate.

However, if we're talking about which period is the least suitable for time travel, then the Douluo Continent II: The Legend of Tang Dynasty period is absolutely undisputed.

There's no other reason than that time travelers during this period all faced the great threat of the Buddha Tang.

That pure and innocent man would lewdly spy on the entire continent whenever he had the chance, treating Douluo Continent as his own backyard.

For those geniuses who aspire to become gods in the Douluo Continent, the Buddha's astonishing wisdom is an essential element to appreciate.

As we all know, the most important thing about extraordinary wisdom is not wisdom itself, but its extraordinary nature.

"I am ten years old now, with level nine soul power, which means there is still about a year before the story begins."

"The only thing we know now is that in the original story, Huo Yuhao left the Duke's mansion when he was eleven years old and had just reached level ten soul power."

"Then I encountered two powerful cheat codes, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Once Huo Yuhao regained some clarity, he immediately began to recall the original novel and roughly plan out the route to obtain the cheat codes from the original work.

Yes, Huo Yuhao is a transmigrator now, but strictly speaking, he did not possess a body.

In his previous life, he was also called Huo Yuhao, and he even had a good brother named Wang Dong.

As for why he traveled through time, it's because Earth in his previous life was also not peaceful; their sun experienced a helium flash crisis and began to age rapidly.

The world embarked on the Wandering Earth project, but while using Jupiter to change course, it was captured by Jupiter's gravity.

With many planetary engines malfunctioning, his mission was to salvage the Singapore No. 1 steering engine.

Unfortunately, when they were still 100 kilometers from the planetary engine, their rescue team encountered a massive geological collapse caused by Jupiter's gravity.

Huo Yuhao used all his strength to push Wang Dong and the other team members to safety, but he himself fell into the crevice.

Countless rocks crashed down around them, and the biting cold wind seeped in through the gaps in their protective suits, sucking away their dwindling life like a vampire.

Fortunately, before his vision completely darkened, he saw a beam of blue light shooting into the sky—the light from the planetary engine.

The saturation rescue operation likely means that someone restarted Singapore's No. 1 engine before they could.

Amidst faint cries and the roar of fusion tearing through the atmosphere, he forced a grotesque smile through his already stiff facial muscles before losing all consciousness completely.

After his death, his soul, guided by a certain voice, came to this world and entered Huo Yun'er's body to conceive a new one. Whether it was due to damage to his soul during the transmigration or some other reason, he only regained his memories yesterday after Huo Yun'er's passing, overcome with grief.

After considering the current situation, Huo Yuhao shifted his gaze from the busy servants outside to a delicate, dark green dagger on the table in front of him.

The White Tiger Dagger, a level 5 melee soul tool, is a token of love from Dai Hao to Huo Yun'er, and it is also the most valuable item Huo Yuhao currently owns.

Huo Yuhao drew the White Tiger Dagger, and some strange inscriptions could be faintly seen on the thin blade. He guessed that they were soul guidance circuits.

He infused a little soul power into it, and soon a hazy blue light appeared out of thin air on the White Tiger Dagger, which then formed a white blade aura on the edge.

The blade's aura was faint and transparent, making one worry that it might be blown away by the wind; although it looked very fragile, Huo Yuhao could clearly feel the danger contained within it.

As a spirit-type soul master with the spirit eye as his martial soul, and also a transmigrator, his spiritual power, if judged according to the spiritual power level of the Legend of the Dragon King, would probably have reached the Spiritual Connection Realm.

His spiritual power at the Lingtong realm already allowed him to sense danger in his surroundings, which could be considered a beneficiary version of spider sense.

In his perception, the faint blade aura on the White Tiger Dagger emitted an extremely terrifying sense of pressure, as if a fully powered chainsaw was standing directly in front of Huo Yuhao.

As a level 5 melee soul tool, the White Tiger Dagger can undoubtedly easily break through the defenses of ordinary thousand-year-old soul beasts. As an early-game weapon, it can be said to have overpowered stats.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao in the original work had too much of a power-up, so the White Tiger Dagger was practically invisible.

Looking at the blade that reflected half of his face, Huo Yuhao realized that he now had two paths to take.

The first path is to do nothing but simply follow the original Huo Yuhao's example and put in three times the effort to cultivate until he reaches level ten soul power, then leave the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain the two most crucial opportunities.

The second option is to leave the White Tiger Duke's Mansion now. Venture out on your own for a year before venturing into the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain the two great opportunities: the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux.

With the White Tiger Dagger, the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm, and the combat skills honed in extreme environments in his previous life, Huo Yuhao was confident that he could escape unscathed as long as his opponent was below level 30.

As long as you don't go to big cities like the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy, or other well-known places from the original work, and instead travel to remote, small places not mentioned in the original work, your safety should be guaranteed.

The half of his face illuminated by the White Tiger Dagger revealed a distorted smile, like that of a clown or a madman.

In his previous life, Huo Yuhao lived in Hefei's No. 1 Underground City.

He was taken to the underground city when he was three years old and grew up in an orphanage.

My father has no recollection of dying during the lunar crisis. My mother, Huo Yun'er, died of type II radiation sickness.

Blue skies, white clouds, warm sunshine, endless grasslands and forests, and animals that aren't preserved in formaldehyde—these were things that people of Huo Yuhao's generation could only see in virtual reality.

But data is ultimately just data; it can never simulate the warmth of the world or the pulse of nature.

Even after removing the helmet, the room remained cramped, filled with dried earthworms of various flavors.

Continuity, endurance, and survival were the main themes of that world. Most forms of entertainment were canceled, and people could only find solace in reading pre-Braking-era online novels or watching pre-Braking-era movies.

Now, reborn into this world with a stable sun, I no longer need to suppress my true nature for the sake of the world's future.

Huo Yuhao now wants to live a different life!

"So the answer is obvious: take the original plot as a reference, I'm going to forge my own path!"

The blade's aura slowly dissipated, and Huo Yuhao sheathed the dagger again, deciding to take the second path.
