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

Thinking of the fate of the Dragon God's fall and split into the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, the more I look at Gu Yue's path, the more it seems to lead to an immortal destiny.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yue asked softly when she noticed his expression was off.

"It's nothing, I roughly guess what Aha's surprise is." Huo Yuhao put his mind at ease and looked at her seriously, asking, "Gu Yue, if one day you want to ascend to godhood, the price is to completely merge with heaven and earth and dissipate your own self, are you willing?"

"Ascension to godhood?"

Gu Yue shook his head as if he had heard something amusing, his tone filled with pride, "If I want to ascend to godhood, then naturally I will be the divine body and wield the rules. To merge with heaven and earth? What difference is there between that and annihilation?"

She paused, then softened her voice: "If that day ever comes, I would rather have a child with you before then, so that he or she can continue my life."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Well, he's figured out the core of immortality himself, even better than him.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Get some rest. There's a round-robin tournament tomorrow."

He coughed lightly to change the subject, his mind sinking into a sea of ​​thoughts.

Seeing this, Gu Yue also returned to her room, her mind filled with thoughts.

She heard Ahha's words clearly. Huo Yuhao's question just now was like a key, allowing her to vaguely touch something, only a thin layer of paper was missing.

In the sea of ​​spirit, Huo Yuhao told Electrolux and Xiaotianquan about his speculation on the immortal destiny.

Electrolux remained silent for a long time, and the voice of the Necromancer Saint was tinged with a subtle speechlessness: "To merge with the Dao with one's own body? No matter how you change planes, you still can't escape this routine."

"It's no big deal." The Celestial Hound lay lazily on the cloud, flicking its tail. "Once you're stronger, protecting her soul's essence and reshaping her physical body won't be difficult. The rules of this plane can't hold back a true powerhouse."

"Yup!"

Huo Yuhao slapped his forehead, realizing he had just walked into a dead end.

The Star God Rules of Beng Tie are one thing, and the Soul Master System of Douluo Continent is another. He has the Necromancer's Secret Techniques of Ilex and the mythical inheritance of Xiaotian Dog by his side, so why should he be stuck on the setting of immortal destiny?

"By the way, what is the origin of the acquired treasure that my martial uncle fused into my body?" he asked.

"I don't know." The Celestial Dog rolled its eyes. "Most of the acquired treasures are made by humans, so how could I recognize every single one? I can only tell that they are things that use the elements of heaven and earth to temper the body. In the past, they would have been considered useless, but in this world where soul power is supreme, they are indeed considered treasures."

"What about the external soul bone?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?" Howling Celestial Dog said helplessly. "It's most likely that the spirit of that supreme treasure was refined by the rules of this world and transformed into a soul bone form. This is just a guess."

Huo Yuhao nodded, then touched the illusory image of the mask: "So this Fool's Mask... there's nothing wrong with it, is there?"

"According to you, Ah-ha does everything for fun." The Celestial Dog sneered. "Isn't there enough fun in this world? You're in charge of creating fun, and I'm in charge of watching the show. It's a fair trade, and you don't lose out. With this mask, you can create multiple clones to cultivate, and your progress will be twice as fast."

"So I'm just a hired hand working for €, huh?" Huo Yuhao retorted sarcastically, but then felt relieved.

Ultimately, ability is your own, and bottom line is in your own hands. As long as you don't cross the line, having more cards to play is never a bad thing.

When Gu Yue exited the Sea of ​​Spirit, it was already late at night. She returned to her room, where Ning Tian was still stabilizing the fusion of his soul bones; the room was quiet.

Huo Yuhao held the Night Raven Mask in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, suddenly recalling the saying "the fool has a thousand faces".

He tried to separate a wisp of pure spiritual energy and probe it into the mask, then slowly infused it with soul power.

A black halo spread from his fingertips, the mask became slightly hot, and the next moment, a black shadow solidified beside him.

She had the same eyebrows and eyes as Huo Yuhao, except that her eyes were the color of rubies, with a light gold flame pattern at the corner of her eyes. Her purple hair had a few barely noticeable red highlights, and her lips naturally carried a mischievous smile.

The boy had barely steadied himself when he came over, hooked his arm around Huo Xiaobai's shoulder, and said in a very loud voice, "Huo Xiaobai! You finally let me go!"

Huo Yuhao's face instantly darkened.

This is his "joyful side"? Huo Xiaobai? What kind of weird name is that?!

"Behave yourself. From now on, I'll call you... Huo Xiaohei." He frowned and pushed the person away.

"Such a casual name, don't be so serious." Huo Xiaohei chuckled, poking his face one moment and making faces in front of him the next, acting cute and charming with a face that was exactly like his, the contrast was ridiculously strong.

Huo Yuhao held back for three seconds, but couldn't resist and threw a punch.

"Huo Xiaohei, if you keep causing trouble, I'll shove you back in!"

"Hey hey hey, you're hitting me! The main body is abusing the clone!" Huo Xiaohei laughed and dodged, but didn't hold back when he fought back. The two of them went back and forth in the room, making a huge commotion.

The next morning, when Ning Tian finally finished refining the external soul bone and slowly opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was two Huo Yuhaos fighting back and forth in the room.

One was coldly slapping the other's face, while the other was grinning and dodging while shouting, calling out "Huo Xiaobai" and "Huo Xiaohei" in his mouth, names that were so outrageous they seemed like a joke.

Chapter 76 Little Black, Little White, the Powerful Huo Xiaohei!

"Uh... Yuhao?"

Ning Tian looked at the two people fighting fiercely inside the room and tentatively called out.

As soon as he finished speaking, both Huo Yuhao turned their heads to look at him.

The purple-haired one's eyes lit up, and he spoke first with a smile, his voice now more lively and playful: "Tian'er, you're awake?"

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Ning Tian was stunned for two seconds, then instantly realized that the one who would call her "Tian'er" was definitely not the usual Huo Yuhao.

"Huo Xiaohei! Stop fooling around."

Huo Yuhao raised his hand, intending to retract his clone into his mask, but instead, a flash of black mist appeared and Huo Xiaohei's figure vanished from the spot.

In the next instant, he darted behind Ning Tian, ​​holding a matte black revolver with dark purple raven feather patterns engraved on the barrel.

"I was prepared for this move, Huo Baibai!" He laughed, leaning on Ning Tian's shoulder, his tone very smug.

Huo Yuhao's temple throbbed.

Wait, where did this guy pull out that revolver? And the power of pleasure can even create things out of thin air?

He suddenly understood why Hanabi always chased after Higanbana in the Honkai Impact 3rd universe.

With such a mischievous clone, anyone would be itching to get their hands dirty.

Ning Tian's body reacted before his mind could react. Ice-blue light exploded from his palm, and a pair of crystal-clear ice-jade emperor scorpion pincers instantly covered his hand, with cold air spreading along the ground.

"Soul Skill: Emperor's Claw Kill!"

She stabbed backhand, the sharp icy claws grazing Huo Xiaohei's clothes, only striking a wisp of drifting black mist.

A giggle echoed from mid-air. Huo Xiaohei unfurled a pair of ethereal, jet-black raven wings, dangling from the roof beam, swinging his legs, and deliberately wiggling his rear end while making a face at Huo Yuhao: "Can't hit me~ Hehehe~"

Huo Yuhao rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

"Yuhao, what exactly is going on?" Ning Tian retracted the scorpion claw and quickly walked to his side, his eyes still warily fixed on the clone in mid-air.

“My clone is called Huo Xiaohei.” Huo Yuhao sighed, his tone full of helplessness. “He was up to something last night. He’s a bit impulsive, but he meant no harm.”

"Hey, Tian'er, were you scared?"

As the black mist swirled, Huo Xiaohei approached Ning Tian again, his ruby-like eyes crinkling, his face bearing an eight-tenths resemblance to Huo Yuhao's, his smile radiant and bright.

Ning Tian was stunned by his approach, her brain short-circuited, and she could only look at Huo Yuhao with pleading eyes. In all her years of life, this was the first time she had encountered such an irresistible personality.

"Huo Xiaohei, today is the start of the round-robin tournament, behave yourself." Huo Yuhao tapped the table, "or I'll shove you back into the mask and lock you up in solitary confinement."

"Okay, okay." Huo Xiaohei pouted, then his eyes lit up and he leaned over to urge, "Xiaobai, can I play in your place in the individual competition today? You didn't sleep well last night, so you can rest."

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, and then actually began to seriously consider it.

Huo Xiaohei inherited 80% of his basic strength. More importantly, he was naturally suited to the power of pleasure, and he used the Fool's Mask's abilities even more skillfully than his own original self.

In terms of unpredictable and versatile close combat abilities, Huo Xiaohei is even more suitable for individual elimination matches than him, and can also hide core trump cards such as the Heavenly Eye and the Emperor Bow.

"Okay." He nodded. "Just let Teacher Wang Yan know later."

As for the number of places...

The clone is essentially an extension of his soul power and mental power, falling under the category of his soul skills. It cannot be considered an extra team member, which is entirely in line with the competition rules.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao had been making a ruckus all night. Huo Yuhao didn't know if Huo Xiaohei was sleepy or not, but he was.

Xingluo Square was bustling with people.

The 67 teams that won the knockout stage gathered at the players' table. They were all discussing tactics in hushed tones, but their eyes kept drifting uncontrollably toward Shrek.

Yesterday's story of Huo Yuhao single-handedly taking on seven opponents hadn't even been fully processed when today, the Shrek Academy team gained another boy who looked almost exactly like him. Purple-streaked hair, crimson-gold eyes, and dressed in black—they were practically twins.

Huo Yuhao is hard enough to figure out, and now there's another one?

The team leaders' faces darkened, and their tactical notes suddenly lost their appeal.

"Everyone! The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament Round-Robin Stage has officially begun!"

The host's voice was amplified through the soul guide device, and cheers erupted from the audience.

"First round match: Shrek Academy Team vs. Star Luo Empire Yunluo Advanced Soul Master Academy!"

"Both team captains, please come to the stage and draw your battle modes!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone on Shrek Academy instinctively looked at Huo Yuhao and Huo Xiaohei.

Huo Xiaohei's eyes lit up, and he made a "leave it to me" gesture. Before anyone could react, a swirling black mist enveloped him, and he had already flashed to the referee's side.

"I'll draw!"

The referee, having seen many of the Soul Masters' bizarre movements, remained steady, but the audience and the teams' seats erupted in chaos.
