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

Chapter 54 Inviting Nobles to a Feast of Fortune and Prosperity (The Prince of Fortune Version)
What started as mere suspicion has now become certain that I'm steadily progressing towards becoming a tattooed warrior.

Before you get into a fight with someone, take off your clothes and show off your tattoos. You'll win over your opponent with your sheer presence.

The rose-gold diamond-shaped mark on his forehead can transform into the Eye of Destiny at any time, allowing him to unleash soul skills.

The consumption of soul power and mental energy has increased significantly, while the effects of soul skills have also been greatly enhanced.

When the Eye of Destiny is activated, the mental detection range covers a diameter of eighteen kilometers and a one-way straight-line distance of twenty kilometers.

In short, all soul skills related to mental power have been strengthened.

At the same time, his ability to precisely control his mental power has also improved significantly, which is what surprised Huo Yuhao the most.

Since the evolution of his Spirit Eye, he has been trying to improve his ability to manipulate his mental power more precisely.

In his view, rather than simply increasing the amount of mental energy, it would be better to focus on improving the control over mental energy.

Having a lot of mental energy is meaningless if it cannot be fully controlled.

On the contrary, it will drag down one's own strength.

Unfortunately, during this period, the Douluo Continent lacked a systematic method for cultivating spiritual power, and naturally, there was no scientific path to improve the control over spiritual power.

Huo Yuhao currently improves his precision by using mental power to perceive the world instead of his eyes and by using mental power to detect his physical condition.

The appearance of the Eye of Destiny now gives Huo Yuhao another path to practice the refined manipulation of his mental power.

After Tianmeng confirmed that the golden tortoiseshell had simply fainted from exhaustion, Huo Yuhao refocused his consciousness on the outside world.

The pure white world may seem magnificent and strange at first glance, but if you stay here for a long time, you will feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

Perhaps it's because I'm still human.

If one day I become a god, the so-called spiritual master, I guess I can endure this loneliness and oppression.

Huo Yuhao summoned the tortoise shell on his left hand again, then stepped on it and began to glide using telekinesis.

"Let's go, Xiaomeng, back to the entrance."

The Remnant Dream Blade trembled slightly, then quickly flew to Huo Yuhao's side and wrapped a colorful ribbon around his right wrist.

Like a big hand holding a little hand, they moved together toward the entrance.

The way back was not difficult, and the spatial-temporal disorder that had occurred when they first entered did not happen.

It's probably because the control over the [Dream] authority has reached 10%.

Huo Yuhao could feel the goodwill emanating from this dream space.

Once back on land, I looked up and saw the black dragon still fighting the teddy bear.

The two behemoths fought like in a turn-based game, exchanging blows with great sportsmanship.

Huo Yuhao really wanted to say:

"Stop! You're not going to kill anyone like this!"

These two giant beasts are probably just a ridiculous dream that some innocent child had in their dream.

Or rather, most of the strange things in this dream space are products of children's dreams.

Only these children could give birth to such absurd and bizarre things.

Those that are more realistic are the products of adults' dreams.

"So, whose dream are you, you idiot?"

Huo Yuhao stared at the chick in overalls chirping beside his legs with a dark expression.

The black chicken feet kept kicking Huo Yuhao's calves, and a look of grief and indignation appeared on its face.

It's obvious that it still holds a grudge against that flying kick from back then.

"Could it be mine?!"

Huo Yuhao couldn't think of anyone else in the world whose dream could give birth to this thing besides his own.

He chuckled softly, squatted down, and looked at the distinctive center-parted hair, saying:

Ah, meeting is fate.

"I'll give you a name, Xiao Heizi."

Perhaps it was due to the special privileges afforded to the ruler of the divine kingdom that Huo Yuhao named it from the moment he did so.

The chick in overalls immediately stopped moving, and its previously dull and lifeless eyes slowly began to shine.

A peculiar connection has emerged between Huo Yuhao and this chick in overalls.

He can use this connection to transfer his power to it, or to extract some energy from it.

It can also sense its state at any time, and even directly erase its newly born intelligence.

It stared at Huo Yuhao, then chirped and ran away again.

Huo Yuhao ignored it. He realized that as long as he named the creations in his dream, he could turn them into his own followers.

The price was his own mental energy; yes, after naming Xiao Heizi, a portion of his mental energy was consumed.

With his current spiritual energy reserves, he could transform thousands of dream creations similar to Kuroko into his followers. Perhaps these followers would be the first inhabitants of his divine kingdom.

Huo Yuhao got up and followed the Broken Dream Blade to the entrance of the dream.

The colorful doors reflected the scene inside the secret chamber of the headquarters.

You can also see the Shadow Cat peeking in from time to time, its eyes seemingly filled with worry.

"Jazz Cat!"

"Kitten, you can eat grilled fish!"

Seeing this scene, Huo Yuhao felt that his love for it had not been in vain.

With one step, the boundary between dream and reality is crossed, and an intense white light shines before your eyes. When the white light dissipates, the scene of the secret room appears on your retina.

The familiar air filled my lungs again, and the real temperature caressed my skin once more.

Indeed, for people, the real world is more suitable for living.

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao return, the Shadow Cat leaped up against the wall and pounced into his arms, then climbed onto his shoulder and sat down.

The Broken Dream Blade suddenly tightened the binding of the ribbon, causing Huo Yuhao to break out in a sweat.

"Oh no, I didn't realize this knife was so heavy!"

"I won't end up like Makoto Shinkai, will I?!"

There was nothing else to do but gently soothe the Broken Dream Blade and feed it a little entropy.

He was genuinely a little afraid that one day he would be divided up by a bunch of strange and unusual things.

That truly shows how the late emperor passed away before his great undertaking was even halfway complete.

Fortunately, after absorbing some entropy force, the Broken Dream Blade used its ribbon to rub against Huo Yuhao's cheek and then returned to the back of his right hand, transforming into colorful blade patterns.

Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly, walked out of the secret room, and arrived at the Passion Headquarters.

The number of people on the Passionate side is increasing, and they have gained control over all aspects of Xilu City, covering almost everyone from commoners to Soul Masters.

The speed of expansion is astonishing; one can only say that the previous city lord was utterly inhumane.

The people of Xilu City are now joyfully welcoming the royal army!

As for the nobles, after their enthusiastic ban on prostitutes, casinos, and bloody gladiatorial combat, some of them left the area on their own.

Before leaving, he even made a bold statement, saying that Xilu City would eventually fall into the hands of the passionate!

Huo Yuhao did not directly attack those who were willing to leave on their own.

There were also some nobles who were unwilling to leave, and even ignored the rules, continuing to do illegal things in Xilu City.

After Huo Yuhao gave the order, he directly made a "Fortune and Prosperity Feast" and fed it to the other clueless clowns.

This is truly the wisdom of our ancestors; this method is effective!

You can always trust your ancestors!
The clowns who had eaten at the Feast of Fortune immediately became obedient, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and admitted their mistakes, gave up their property, and got out of Xilu City that very day.

As for reporting to the Heavenly Soul Empire that they were harming nobles here?

The Heavenly Soul Empire has no say in the cities surrounding Shrek City, and doesn't even dare to utter a word of condemnation.

After all, if you dare to condemn the investigation of the cities surrounding Shrek today, you might dare to investigate Shrek tomorrow.

What's wrong? Does the Heavenly Soul Empire intend to swallow Shrek City up?

Do you know who is in charge of all twenty-one provinces in Douluo Three Kingdoms?

As for reporting it to Shrek Academy? That's pure fantasy.

Shrek Academy looks down on everyone outside of Shrek Academy, regardless of whether you are a commoner or a noble soul master.

Even if you are a nobleman of the Heavenly Soul Empire, so what? You're not a nobleman of Shrek Academy.

Even when the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire arrived, Shrek Academy students had to pay their respects to Yan Shaozhe.

Who do you think you are?

Moreover, Xilu City has been paying tribute to Shrek City for thousands of years, and this has not changed regardless of who the city lord is, making it a direct descendant of Shrek City.

Even if one's own direct subordinates are wrong, the eldest brother will still say they are right!
Otherwise, what will the surrounding cities think? They've been paying protection money for thousands of years; it can't be completely useless, can it?

Even after Huo Yuhao had just taken control of Xilu City, Kong Yang, following Huo Yuhao's orders, donated all the treasures of the former city lord to Shrek Academy's Treasure Pavilion.

By directly stating its position, Xilu City remains "loyal" to Shrek Academy!

Moreover, I heard that Lin Huiqun, who is in charge of finances at Shrek Sea God Pavilion, plans to personally visit the new city lord Kong Yang in Xilu City these days.

After all, Xilu City was a fan of hers.

Therefore, as far as Shrek Academy is concerned, you actually dared to report my direct subordinate, you must be an evil spirit master!

Shrek Academy must strike hard against evil spirit masters!

　The back features Hyotei, but what about the front? Any suggestions? Ideally, something imposing, no Peppa Pig.
