Douluo's Contract God King Huo Yuhao

Is Chapter 144 a tragedy? Who can say for sure?

The overall architectural model of the Spirit Pagoda is becoming more and more complete, and the metallic luster attracts passersby to stop and look at it.

The Spirit Pagoda, now more than half-built, has become the tallest building in Shrek City, and its location can be vaguely seen from any direction within the city.

Currently, many students in the academy have begun to accept the Soul Spirit system. In terms of illuminating and enhancing the martial soul's origin, the Soul Spirit is far superior to the Soul Ring.

Especially for some spirit beasts with higher intelligence and a better relationship with the spirit master, the evolution of the spirit is even greater.

Some students have already started fostering spirit beasts that are preparing to form contracts with spirit spirits in the arena, especially for spirit masters' first and second spirit rings. Hundred-year spirit beasts are not difficult to cultivate.

With a little investment of resources, one can cultivate a hundred-year-old soul beast in a short period of time. After establishing a good relationship with the hundred-year-old soul beast, the powerful low-level martial soul may be promoted to a mid-level martial soul.

This is incredibly attractive to low-level Soul Masters. For Soul Masters whose maximum level is only 10 or 20 in their entire lives, it's a life-changing event.

Therefore, Shrek City acquired another name: the City of Souls, and it began to show signs of becoming a holy land for Soul Masters.

The Douluo Three Kingdoms had almost no objection to this.

As a staunch supporter of Huo Yuhao, the Star Luo Empire not only did not stop him, but even sent members of the royal family to help select low-level soul masters to enter Shrek City.

The Heavenly Soul Empire remained silent due to Poison Undying's persuasion, especially after Long Aotian joined the Spirit Pagoda, many forces sensed that something was amiss.

As for the Douling Empire, what business is it of theirs in the overall balance of power on the continent? Their overall strength is too weak, and they can hardly find any well-known and powerful figures. They can barely be considered a country.

For this reason, with the support of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion unanimously decided to officially rename Shrek City as the City of Soul Spirits.

The three kingdoms agreed that on the day the Spirit Pagoda was built, the entire nation would take a break and the year would be designated as the Soul Spirit Calendar.

This measure was issued under the joint promotion of Xu Jiawei and Du Busi, and it also gave the high-level officials of Douluo Three Kingdoms some premonition.

The birth of a soul and the establishment of the Spirit Pagoda are probably not simple matters. The future will be decided in the next few years.

Huo Yuhao also noticed some of the academy's ideas; the elders began to intentionally push him to stand at the forefront and achieve greater success.

Just as everyone was contributing to the birth of a legend, and they would be remembered in history, Shrek's glory began to be gradually overshadowed by the glory of the Spirit Tower.

The list of honorary tower masters of the Spirit Pagoda now includes all ten elders of the Sea God Pavilion, making the initial membership list of the Spirit Pagoda increasingly complete.

The development of this matter was somewhat unexpected by Huo Yuhao, because the nature of the Spirit Pagoda was too special. Compared to Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, it was more like a force that was destroyed ten thousand years ago.

Or rather, it is the prototype of the Douluo Federation, the focal point of attention for all forces, and those who do not obtain an entry ticket will be eliminated in this game.

In this year, Elder Song successfully advanced to the Martial Soul level, his Soul Power broke through to level 98, and the strength of the Sea God Pavilion and the Spirit Pagoda reached the peak of the world.

After receiving news of Elder Song's breakthrough, the Sun Moon Empire fell into complete silence. The situation in the Mingdou Mountains stabilized, and the entire continent briefly remained as still as a stagnant pool.

Having completed the metal forging, Huo Yuhao is about to set off for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which is an opportunity for the Spirit Pagoda to enhance its strength for the second time.

The main reason stemmed from a conversation with Wang Dong two days prior, during which Huo Yuhao learned an unexpected and interesting piece of news.

"Wang Dong, did you come here because you're in trouble? We're classmates, I'll lend a hand if I can."

Dressed in a black and gold fitted outfit, exuding the aura of a powerful figure, Huo Yuhao spoke in a slightly gentle tone.

"Yuhao, classmate, the Haotian Sect has mysteriously disappeared. Before my elders left, they gave me a brocade pouch, telling me to open it when I was desperate."

There is a crystal in the pouch, which needs to be given to you, Yuhao. Of course, if it's too much trouble for you, you can refuse it.

I'm not entirely sure what's inside, but I thought it might be helpful to you, so I wanted to let you know.

I don't really know anything about accepting things, and I'm sorry to have bothered you. It might be something bad, so maybe I should take it with me.

Wang Dong's beautiful face was tinged with an indelible pallor, and a weak aura surrounded her, making her look listless.

She held the crystal in her hand with trembling hands. She scratched it slightly with the force, but the slight pain did not bring her back to her senses.

If Huo Yuhao were to describe her current state, only the word "anxious" could describe it, like a person who has been drowning for a long time observing a passing ship.

The blank yet hopeful light pierced Huo Yuhao's heart, leaving him momentarily at a loss, for he might be this girl's last lifeline.

Hidden deep in her heart was a strong will to die and loneliness. Huo Yuhao could sense that after he rejected her today, a corpse might appear in the student dormitory the next day.

Huo Yuhao realized for the first time that he had hurt the girl without even realizing it, and that he had dealt her a nearly fatal blow.

"Tang San, is this also part of your plan? Are you trying to prove that I'm no different from you, or are you planning something?"

Or is it both, meaning either choice is wrong? I knew I hadn't underestimated you; a fine dilemma, typical of your style.

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, countless possibilities and thoughts began to intertwine in his mind, and how to choose became a small problem, and the atmosphere fell into a brief silence.

Wang Dong, who had not received a response, kept his head down and gripped the crystal in his hand tighter and tighter. The sound of blood dripping rang out as blood squeezed out of the cut on the crystal.

"I'm so sorry, I've caused you so much trouble. I'll leave now. I'm really sorry, I won't come back to cause any more trouble."

The words, trembling, came from her slightly pale lips, and the girl's body shook uncontrollably—a reaction that was difficult to control under extreme emotions.

She kept her head down, not daring to look Huo Yuhao in the eye, and desperately tried to move her body away, but her legs were too heavy to move.

Her body’s instinct forced her to stay; it was a cry for survival, a final struggle as her hope gradually faded deep within her.

"Give me the crystal. If you trust me, sign this contract, and I will compensate you with a relatively bright future."

A transparent contract floated in front of Wang Dong. Overwhelmed with surprise, the girl looked up sharply, her eyes confirming the reality of the world.
