Douluo Continent: The Peerless Hunting Heavenly Lord, Huo Yuhao!

"Oh, is Shrek Academy a sect?"

"No!" Poison Undying exclaimed in confusion.

"It's true that I'm a student at Shrek Academy, but I haven't been brainwashed. Besides, a sect is a sect, and an academy is an academy. An academy can't control its graduates," Huo Yuhao said meaningfully.

"Hahaha, kid, I really like you. Are you interested in becoming my disciple?" Poison Immortal asked.

"Is that the young sect leader?"

"If you want, you can," Poison Immortal laughed.

"Is it okay if I don't join?"

“Of course, but since you have a Body Spirit, you are born to belong to our Body Sect. It seems like a good idea for the Body Sect to attack Shrek Academy and bring your family home.” Poison Immortal stroked his chin.

“Then I’ll join, but I can’t return to the Body Sect before graduation.”

"why?"

"Because of the red ideal in my heart! I want to realize it!" Huo Yuhao said with bright eyes, as if he were shining with light.

"Very well, I agree."

"Huo Yuhao greets teacher."

"Okay, okay, Yuhao, you're level 20 now, right?"

"Yes, I possess twin ultimate martial souls: the Emperor Bow and the Heavenly Eye." Huo Yuhao made no attempt to hide anything.

"I have no gift to offer, so how about I let you hunt for your second spirit ring instead!"

Huo Yuhao's face stiffened. He couldn't very well say that he came to the Extreme Cold Forest for the 200,000-year-old Ice Pattern Fox King, and that he was interrupted by Poison Undying, could he?

"Teacher, it seems you came with a companion," Huo Yuhao said.

"Um... wait, Vina!!" Poisonous Undying was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Huo Yuhao and hurriedly flew back.

Huo Yuhao: ...

It evokes a feeling of a small animal being held by the scruff of its neck, its fate hanging in the balance...

"Uncle-Master, Elder Yi, Hyotei, what should I do?"

"I can create an illusion, enough for you to absorb the soul ring, young master," said the Celestial Hound after a moment of contemplation.

"Thank you, Uncle-Master," Huo Yuhao said.

……

"Haha, Vina, you can't blame me. It was because of Yuhao that I forgot about you." Du Busi touched his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed at the extremely beautiful but seemingly frail girl.

"Teacher..." Huo Yuhao was speechless.

“It’s alright, Sect Master.” Vina shook her head and said, “Vina, Martial Soul Brain, Snow Lotus, Level 33 Soul Master.”

"Huo Yuhao, Martial Soul: Heavenly Eye, Emperor Bow: Fate, Level 20 Spiritual Soul Master."

Meeting Vina's surprised gaze, Huo Yuhao simply smiled and let it pass.

"Alright, we've met the people we need to meet. Now it's time to give Yuhao the hunting spirit rings."

"Uncle-Master, make your move!"

"Understood." Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly turned into the pitch-black night, and an invisible mist enveloped Du Busi and Vina.

"Hyotei, it's your turn."

"Leave it to me!" Hyotei appeared, coldly shouting, "Old fox, get out here!!"

Huo Yuhao: ? ? ?

The villainous aura has intensified...

"Hyotei, what are you doing?" A cold voice rang out, and a fox with fluffy white fur, sky-blue markings, agile limbs, and a mysterious purple mark between its brows appeared.

Unlike Ice Emperor, Huo Yuhao could clearly sense her weakness.

"So you really are here," Hyotei said slowly.

fox:……

Huo Yuhao: ...

You didn't even know you brought me here! And you even called her out!

"You..." The Ice Pattern Fox Queen was speechless. She looked at the Ice Emperor and said, "The forests here can preserve my race. Even if you purge us, we will still take a big bite out of you!"

"And why am I here? Isn't it because of you and this Title Douluo who's trapped in this illusion?"

"I want to make a deal with you," Huo Yuhao said.

"A deal? Human, you are indeed very powerful, but I am not someone to be trifled with. I will kill you before Ice Emperor kills me!" The Ice Pattern Fox King looked at Huo Yuhao coldly, clearly not believing Huo Yuhao's words.

"How about you beat her up, Ice Emperor?" Huo Yuhao suggested. Since the villain's aura was so strong, he wasn't incapable of using villainous methods.

"Alright!" Ice Emperor's eyes lit up. She was now a 400,000-year-old ferocious beast. Because of Huo Yuhao's Pure Origin Mystic Dao True Monarch Martial Soul, Ice Emperor could feel her ultimate ice level increasing.

Although it's very weak, she's only had a contract with Huo Yuhao for a short time, and the benefits are already so obvious!

After a good beating

"One-on-one".

"No."

"Two against one!"

"A royal flush! We won!" Huo Yuhao collected his cards, looking at the dejected Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the speechless Ilex.

It's clear that playing cards isn't suitable for older people.

"Yuhao, the old fox has agreed to sign a contract with you." Ice Emperor walked over, carrying the Ice Pattern Spirit Fox King, which was now much larger.

Originally, the Ice Pattern Fox King wanted to ambush Huo Yuhao, but he was instead utterly crushed by the Ice Emperor, whose strength had greatly increased.

"Ice Emperor, I have a name, I am called Ahri!" Ahri, the Ice Pattern Fox Emperor, objected.

"Yes, yes, let's start signing the contract," Hyotei said.

"Lord Yuhao, if you become a god, can you protect my race?"

“Of course, but it would be best if you came to protect me personally,” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Ahri was puzzled.

The signing of the symbiotic soul contract went unexpectedly smoothly. As Ahri completely entered Huo Yuhao's body, a purple soul ring with blue patterns appeared under Huo Yuhao's feet.

Feeling the surge of spiritual power within his body, Huo Yuhao slowly exhaled, his soul power reaching level twenty-five!

"What a great harvest!" Huo Yuhao exclaimed. He now possesses five soul skills, and Ahri, a ferocious beast that has existed for two hundred thousand years, has bestowed upon him two soul skills.

Because of the symbiotic soul contract, Ahri can also be summoned; it's her third soul skill.

The fourth and fifth were that Ahri gave Huo Yuhao a 200,000-year-old head soul bone!

Without the Flesh and Blood Furnace, Huo Yuhao would have suffered unbearable pain after absorbing the Void Dreamweaver Spirit Sea Skull.

Ahri's soul skill did not disappoint Huo Yuhao; it was basically a pleasant surprise for him!

"Ah Li, does your clan have any dead Ice Pattern Spirit Foxes, preferably those that are a thousand years old?"

"Well, we do have some, but as you know, our race has some disgusting talents, so we're exceptionally united," Ahri said. "If any of our companions get into trouble, we'll bury their bodies immediately."

"If you're going to smash it into mincemeat, then disregard what I said. But there's one with similar attributes to mine; it's a mutated ice-patterned spirit fox with lightning attributes."

“I originally intended to pass the throne to it, but because it was mutated and extremely bloodthirsty, I drove it away.”

"If you want to hunt it, I can help."

Huo Yuhao: ...

Well, he's transformed from a villain into a mafia boss, with a bunch of fist-sized bastards under his command. Should he find an intelligent soul beast for his next soul ring?

"Old fox, tell me where it is and I'll go kill it."

"The frigid forest, to the south."

Chapter 53 Testing Soul Skills! Sect Relics!

Huo Yuhao was also very curious about the mutated lightning-attribute ice-patterned spirit fox that Ah Li had mentioned, as most spirit beasts with such violent lightning-attribute power have two extremes.

Thunder-attribute soul beasts have always gone to two extremes: either they are docile in normal times, but become so ferocious as to not recognize their own family when a battle begins; or they are bloodthirsty and ferocious from birth to death, and are eventually either crushed by stronger beings or reduced to ashes under the heavenly tribulation.

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao was currently in the Frozen Forest. He deliberately guided Du Busi to fly south towards the Frozen Forest. As for why he could guide Du Busi without being discovered, that was of course because of Xiaotianquan. If he couldn't control Xiaotianquan, he felt he could be turned into a pot of dog meat hot pot.

Not long after, a mournful fox howl pierced the forest.

The mutated ice-patterned spirit fox was entirely silver-white, with lightning flashing at the tip of its tail, but it was no match for Poison Undying. In just a few moves, Poison Undying slapped it down, leaving it convulsing in the snow.

A few hours after he beat the mutated ice-patterned spirit fox to death with poison, Huo Yuhao snapped his fingers.

"Um... Yuhao, what are you doing?" Du Busi was a little confused. He watched Huo Yuhao absorb the soul ring and then get up, not knowing what to do.

"Let's test out the new soul skill." Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, a flash of blue-purple lightning in his golden pupils.

"Testing soul skills? Good! Let this old man test its strength!" Poison Undying immediately became interested, took two steps back, and slightly raised his soul power, looking eager to try.
