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

Don't hide!

The thought flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind for only a moment before he took a deep breath, pushed open the window, and faced the falling golden light.

Come forth, hunting arrows!

The moment the golden light touched me, there was no excruciating pain as I had imagined; instead, a vast, sharp, all-encompassing will surged into my mind.

A grand voice, as if crossing a sea of ​​stars, questioned Huo Yuhao's mind:

What is justice?

"justice?"

Huo Yuhao repeated in a low voice, countless images flashing through his mind in an instant: Dai Huabin's arrogance in hiring someone to kill, Yan Shaozhe's hypocrisy in favoring the powerful, the plight of a commoner soul master struggling for a single pill, and the fate of ordinary people as insignificant as dust under the soul master system...

Was it to kill Dai Huabin in revenge?

A voice inside me was saying, "No!"

"My justice is never just for personal vendettas." Huo Yuhao raised his head, his eyes growing brighter and his voice firm. "I will not ignore suffering, nor will I stand idly by because it doesn't concern me; I will not distort the truth, nor will I twist justice for personal gain or loss. The lives of ordinary people are lives too, and the dignity of ordinary people is dignity too."

How can justice be served?

That will asked again.

"If justice can be upheld through rules, then we will abide by the rules; if the rules are trampled by power, then justice has nowhere to rest." Huo Yuhao's body was surrounded by a surge of silver-gold light, and behind him, a phantom of a ferocious beast with the body of a jackal and the head of a dragon, its eyes blazing and its mouth holding a sword, vaguely appeared. "I will transform into a hunting arrow, using violence to suppress violence, and eradicate injustice!"

"The sword is drawn; it will not return until blood is drawn! Wrathful spirit, Yazi, summon me!"

Boom

A special soul ring with silver and red patterns slowly rose from beneath his feet.

The Emperor Bow in his hand shimmered with light and instantly transformed into a dark golden heavy sword: the blade was covered with crimson cracks like blood vessels, and the hilt was carved with the head of a fierce beast with wide-open eyes and protruding fangs. The blade was sharp and exuded a murderous aura that could penetrate everything.

This is the approval of the Star God of Hunting, the first layer of divine power bestowed by the Emperor Bow Master!

"Many thanks to the Emperor Bow Master for bestowing his blessing."

Huo Yuhao snapped out of his daze and bowed respectfully in the direction the shooting star had disappeared.

The night sky returned to silence, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

Only the heavy sword in his hand and the special spirit ring at his feet proved that everything had actually happened.

He looked inward into his spiritual sea and asked, "Elder Yi, Uncle-Master, did you sense the aura of the Emperor's Bow just now?"

“No.” Electrox’s voice carried a hint of solemnity. “I only sensed a sharp will that pierced through the sea of ​​stars, which vanished in an instant.”

"I've noticed." The Celestial Hound's voice carried a hint of understanding. "His strength is quite impressive."

"Uncle-Master, ...you won't harm me, will you?" Huo Yuhao was still a little unsure.

"Harm you? You?" Howling Celestial Dog scoffed, his tone tinged with disappointment. "Good intentions are wasted. We're grooming you as our successor."

"The heir?" Huo Yuhao was stunned. "Am I that special?"

“My master isn’t that petty. Besides, your personality just suits his tastes perfectly,” said the Celestial Hound slowly. “The way of the hunt is to eliminate evil and persecute injustice. The way in your heart is ridiculously compatible with his authority. Others would be begging for it, but you’re worried about being harmed.”

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered that Yang Jian, the True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao, was originally in charge of hunting and slaying demons and evil spirits, and his authority was almost the same as Lan's.

No wonder the Emperor's Bow Master chose him...

PS: I originally wanted to write about the God Lord, but Huo Yuhao's situation did not meet the requirements for the God Lord's appearance at that time, so after thinking about it, I created my own.

The original designation was the Xie Zhi, which symbolizes judicial fairness.

Later I felt that it didn't fit Huo Yuhao, who has a vengeful and murderous tone, so I found Ya Ci.

The original meaning of Yazi is to glare angrily. The saying goes, "A kindness of a meal must be repaid, and a grudge of Yazi must be avenged." Revenge inevitably involves bloodshed, and Yazi has become the embodiment of the annihilation of all evil.

Yazi, one of the nine sons of the dragon, though of dragon lineage, resembled a jackal. His father was angry and wanted to abandon him, but fortunately, his mother pleaded, and he was spared.

See how many matches...

Chapter 55 Light Cone "The Night Before Dawn", a cheating player

"Wait... Uncle-Master, am I carrying something extra?"

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and looked inward, his brows slightly furrowed.

He could clearly feel that his affinity for the wind element within his body had increased dramatically.

With the dual martial souls of Emperor Bow and True Lord of Pure Origin, Huo Yuhao's perception of the nine elements was already far beyond that of ordinary people. But at this moment, the activity level of the wind attribute was almost twice that of the other attributes. He could even see the trajectory of the air flow around him in detail. His progress was simply outrageous.

"It must be this little thing."

With a casual grab, the Celestial Hound released a holographic cone of light, interwoven with dark gold and deep indigo, from Huo Yuhao's body, hovering in mid-air.

Against the backdrop of the light cone, dark purple thunderclouds churned, and a blinding golden ray of dawn tore through the clouds, casting dappled light and shadow, much like the darkest night before dawn.

The five words "the darkness before dawn" were branded onto Huo Yuhao's mind like a mark.

"This is... a light cone?" Huo Yuhao was dumbfounded.

So the Star God of Hunting not only bestowed upon me divine power, but also gave me the equipment along with it? This is practically a buy-one-get-one-free deal!

"Not bad, it passively enhances your strength, quite suitable for you." The Celestial Dog stroked his chin, his comment concise and to the point.

"How did it get into my body?" Huo Yuhao reached out and touched the light cone. His fingertip passed through the phantom, and a warm wind-attribute energy spread out from his fingertip.

"It should have been a gift from €€," said the Celestial Dog calmly.

Huo Yuhao focused his mind and sensed the information from the light cone instantly flooding his mind:

Exclusive Light Cone: "The Night Before Dawn"

Light Cone Effect – The Long Night Will Dawn: Increases the wearer's Sin Points gain rate. When Sin Points reach 100, the wearer's Wind Attribute Damage is increased by 80%, lasting until the end of the Spirit Liberation form.

"So I'm playing a turn-based game?" Huo Yuhao said, both amused and exasperated.

The mechanism of the Weiling Yazi is biased towards fighting to sustain itself, with the core being "sin value": basic attacks, being hit, counterattacks, and applying negative status effects to enemies can all stack up, and once it is full, it will unleash maximum burst damage.

Now, with this light cone, the stacking speed takes off like crazy.

"You know this mechanism?" Howling Celestial Dog was a little surprised.

Huo Yuhao: "...I was just joking, it can't really be that coincidental, can it?"

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked inward at the source of the powerful spirit. What he saw made him gasp in shock:

"Holy crap? This is a Star Soul?!"

Deep within the origin of the Yazi, six star patterns float silently, two lit and four dim:

Star Soul One: Bloodbath: In the Spirit Liberation state, each counterattack increases the damage of Extreme Wind received by all enemies by 10%, stacking up to 5 times.

Star Soul II – Blood for Blood: Soul Skills come with a "Sin" mark. Each time a marked target uses a Soul Skill, it adds an additional 5 points of Sin value to Wei Ling.

Star Soul 3 is not unlocked (Soul Power level is less than 30).

……

"Outrageous... This is outrageous." Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, "So I started with two lives and a unique weapon? Even cheating wouldn't be this easy."

"Alright, if you get any more excited, it'll be dawn soon." Xiaotian Dog yawned. "Go and get some rest. You have to travel back to the academy tomorrow."

"Uh... this is such a pleasant surprise." Huo Yuhao scratched his head, suppressing his excitement, and lay back down on the bed.

The moonlight outside the window was perfect, and Huo Yuhao clenched his fist.

It feels so good to become stronger.

……

A few days later, at the Lionheart Society headquarters in the outer courtyard of Shrek Academy.

The late summer wind swept by, carrying sycamore leaves. The blonde girl and the black-haired girl stood side by side, gazing towards the direction outside the city.

"Gu Yue, you're back so early." Ning Tian spoke first, twirling a silver-gray jade tablet between his fingers, his tone calm.

"Nothing's wrong at my place." Gu Yue shook her head gently, her purple eyes reflecting the distant sunset. "I came back and checked the club warehouse, and left a few people on duty in rotation to prevent any trouble during the holiday."

She did indeed return three days early.

The celestial fluctuations emanating from the far north unsettled her, so she decided to return to Shrek Academy ahead of schedule to wait for Huo Yuhao.

Ning Tian smiled, not revealing her thoughts, and then got down to business: "Yuhao sent a message saying that we need some 'black gloves.' Lionheart will handle the things that are obvious, but the dirty work that can't be done in the light will be handled by another group of people."

There are too many dark sides to this world. Huo Yuhao can't personally get involved in everything, and he can't let the Lionheart Society be tainted.

A pair of hands hidden in the shadows are indispensable.

"He has an idea?" Gu Yue turned her head to the side.

“He said we could set up a peripheral guild, which, according to his naming habits, would probably be called ‘Hunter’s House’.” Ning Tian’s lips curled up slightly. “They’d take on commissions, gather intelligence, and handle troubles. On the surface, it would be an adventurers’ guild, but secretly they’d be doing things for us.”

"His thought process is always very unpredictable," Gu Yue commented casually, a hint of a smile in her eyes.

The two remained silent for a moment, then looked together at the official road outside the city.

"He'll be back soon."

"Yes, Yu Zhaoli said it will be in the next couple of days."
