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

Chapter 12: The Lottery and a Message

On the back of the white-scaled horse, the gentle breeze that flowed around him caressed his cheeks, and the unique earthy scent of the morning invigorated Huo Yuhao's nearly exhausted mental energy.

The pale face beneath the faceless mask began to regain its color.

Having survived the attack by the evil spirit masters, the convoy noticeably sped up its journey. Now, everyone desperately needed to soothe their bodies and souls with warm rooms and soft beds.

Some people were seriously injured and urgently needed treatment at Xuanfeng City's medical facilities.

With a little back and forth, what was originally a day's journey has been compressed into half a day, and we expect to arrive by noon.

Huo Yuhao finally had time to check the spoils of killing the second brother while on horseback.

Name: Huo Yuhao

Race: Human (God?)

Soul Power: 15 (Level 9)

"Spiritual Power: 950"

"Martial Soul: Kaleidoscope of Spirit Eyes"

"Abilities: Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Kagutsuchi, Kamui, Root Country, Ame-waka-hi-ya, Susanoo."

"Power: [Dream]: The unique fantasy of life (Mastery 2%)"

[Understanding]: The desire to control the unknown (Mastery level 4%)

[Daydreaming]: A distortion of reality (Mastery 1.5%)

"Lottery: Random Manifestation Based on Imagination (Number of Attempts * 1)"

"Items: Yilin Concentrated Medicine (Douluo Special Supply), a piece of information (to be completed)."

Compared to the previous panel, his mental strength has improved again. Huo Yuhao has always been able to feel his mental strength slowly increasing, and there is no sign of decline yet, which is probably the result of the evolution of his martial soul.

To his surprise, his [understanding] authority actually reached 4%.

Huo Yuhao, who originally wanted to participate in the lottery directly, was suddenly attracted by "a piece of information" in his inventory.

He retrieved this special item from the panel.

The moment his mind touched the panel, a piece of text appeared directly in Huo Yuhao's mind.

The text was short, but its content greatly intrigued Huo Yuhao.

"Bloodline bonds are strong, and genes conceal everything."

"Martial spirit is the embodiment of bloodline, etched into the human evolutionary blueprint along with genes."

"What is the essence of a martial soul? These questions seem to be related to a certain pair of chromosomes..."

Note: Obtaining more genetic information from different humans will unlock subsequent content.

After reading the message, Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and thought to himself:

"Isn't Douluo Continent a fantasy world? How can it be related to genes?"

"I was an engineer in my past life, not a biologist, so this isn't really my field."

“Collecting human genetic information…it seems that we can start with blood.”

Huo Yuhao rubbed his temples and looked up at the towering city walls that were already faintly visible in the distance. Even though they were dozens of miles away, he could still feel the heavy, wild atmosphere of the city.

With some time still remaining before entering the city, Huo Yuhao had an idea and decided to use up the lottery chances he had obtained.

A dazzling golden light rippled in front of his retina, and as the light dimmed, the information about the extracted items appeared before Huo Yuhao's eyes.

"Reversal Technique (Local Modification): Two negatives make a positive, water and fire, wind and earth, light and darkness, life and destruction, spirit and body."

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up. Just by looking at the ability description, this was definitely a gold card that could reverse attributes and grant conflicting abilities.

If one obtains the ice element, one can obtain the fire element, and by combining the two, one can control the water element... Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's mind stirred, and all the information about the reversal technique appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind.

This ability, or technique, is essentially the utilization of the mutual generation and restraint of elements. It uses special techniques to enrich elements and accelerate their circulation, causing them to reach a state of extreme reversal.

At the same time, one principle is to convert the difference while keeping the quality unchanged.

For example, the ultimate ice will definitely be transformed into the ultimate fire, but the enrichment and circulation during the transformation will inevitably consume some energy. It may take ten parts of ultimate ice soul power to transform into one part of ultimate fire soul power.

Although the losses are significant, it does not diminish the fact that this is an extremely powerful technique.

Judging from the current quality of Huo Yuhao's spiritual attribute soul power, if it were reversed, he could achieve extremely strong self-healing ability and formidable strength.

After digesting the technique, Huo Yuhao suddenly thought that he could set up a small stall to heal people's injuries and cure their illnesses after entering Xuanfeng City.

Not only can he practice reversal techniques, but he can also collect human blood to obtain genetic information. More importantly, he can make money. Huo Yuhao was truly terrified of being poor in both his lives.

A perfect plan to kill three birds with one stone, but I don't know if there's any such thing as a medical license in the Douluo Continent.

At noon, the sun hung high overhead, its scorching rays mercilessly licking the parched earth, taking away every drop of moisture.

Cicada-like spirit beasts chirped loudly on the ancient trees on both sides of the Xuanfeng City gate, their piercing sounds defying the scorching heat.

Huo Yuhao's convoy was neatly lined up on the path in front of Xuanfeng City, undergoing inspection by the guards.

They said they were going to inspect, but it was really just a cursory glance; they didn't really look at anything closely. Xiao Dingyuan chatted with the city gate guards, and judging from their familiar manner, he guessed that the Dingyi Merchant Guild frequently traded here.

"President Xiao, why are there so many injured people from your chamber of commerce this time?"

The city gate guard pointed at the convoy with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Dingyuan sighed helplessly and said, "General Qin, I was lucky this time to escape with my life."

"We encountered evil spirit masters a few hundred miles from Xuanfeng City. If they hadn't suddenly started fighting amongst themselves, our entire caravan would have died there."

Upon hearing Xiao Dingyuan's words, General Qin's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "An evil soul master?"

Upon seeing his expression, Xiao Dingyuan immediately asked, "Does General Qin know something?"

General Qin didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "President Xiao, you may not know this, but a while ago, people from Shrek Academy came here."

"They recently raided a hideout of evil spirit masters, but unexpectedly, many of them escaped."

"The escape routes are very scattered. They can't clear them out in time, so we need to be extra careful."

Upon hearing his words, Xiao Dingyuan sighed, "What an undeserved disaster!"

General Qin nodded in agreement, then looked at him and said, "President Xiao, once you've settled in, please go to the City Lord's Mansion to give a report."

He paused for a moment and then said, "This is what the Shrek Supervisory Committee requested."

"You know the Shrek Supervisory Group's temperament; we can't disobey them."

Xiao Dingyuan cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Of course, I certainly won't forget."

General Qin nodded and shouted to the guards at the gate, "What are you all standing there for! Let Chairman Xiao's convoy pass."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards beside him immediately put away their weapons and stood by the city gate to guide the convoy into the city.

They led the convoy to a large open space on the outskirts of Xuanfeng City.

Xiao Dingyuan directed the able-bodied members of the Chamber of Commerce to arrange the goods and bring the wounded down.

Then he walked to Wolf Mountain's bed and said, "Wolf Captain, I have already sent someone to contact the medical clinic in Xuanfeng City. I guarantee that the brothers will recover."

"Thanks to you all this time."

Wolf Mountain waved his hand dismissively and said, "The mercenary group takes money to do their job, so it's actually us who failed to provide adequate protection."

Just as the two were talking, Huo Yuhao walked over.
