Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, the Thief of Heaven

Chapter 102 Yes, child, you've got a system (laughs)

As soon as the door opened.

The interior space was not as cramped and confined as Huo Yuhao and Du Busi had imagined; on the contrary, it was as spacious as a battle arena and extremely bright.

In the air, countless rusty soul tools were scattered like stars in the Milky Way, slowly floating and swirling.

Benjamin Sun figured it out.

These soul guides, which have lost their spirituality, are covered with numerous Daoist traces and are connected to the scanning devices among their fellow practitioners.

If the scan results differ from the preset values, these soul tools that could have been Huo Yuhao's aid will turn into weapons to attack him, blasting him and Du Busi to their deaths.

Moreover, these soul tools also have an enemy-targeting mechanism, so even Benjamin's intervention is futile.

He had a vague feeling that this arrangement was not only about leaving behind a legacy, but also about showing off his achievements to his teacher.

See, even you can't do anything about me now, can you?

"Old Sun, you figured it out?" Electrolux smiled.

"I can see that, but he's still very inexperienced. I could solve it if my stats were a bit higher. But it's actually quite good," Benjamin said with satisfaction.

In the center of this vast, empty room, which is also the center of these abandoned soul tools, a skeleton sitting cross-legged, holding a long sword, faces Huo Yuhao.

The skeleton was dressed in the same red robes as Suiyuan, and there was a small circular indentation on its skull.

Clearly, that was the cause of his death.

"Look, there's something over there." Poison Immortal pointed to the skeleton's chest, where an ancient book was kept.

Huo Yuhao reached out and took the book down, carefully flipping through it. Du Busi also pressed himself against it, full of curiosity.

"Senior Poison, why don't you take a look first?" Huo Yuhao, whose light was blocked by the Poison Undying, said with a helpless bitter smile.

"No, no, no, this is what our ancestor left you, I can't look at it." Poison Undying waved his hand in refusal.

But then he thought that Suiyuan was still his ancestor, so he snatched it away without hesitation.

Sui Yuan had left all his lifelong insights into cultivation on the soul tools he created. These soul tools floating in mid-air were the culmination of his life's work.

Spirit Eye Soul Masters can gain insights into cultivation by repairing and studying these Soul Tools, and may even take a step that Sui Yuan could never take in his entire life.

Second awakening of the martial spirit.

From the fact that he could not evolve a second time, Benjamin Sun finally understood Sui Yuan's identity; it turned out that he was the split soul of Huo Yuhao left behind six thousand years ago.

"So that's how it is. So that's why Ancestor Suiyuan couldn't awaken a second time—he wasted his energy on the soul tool."

Poison Undying was deeply moved, and he imagined the tragic life of Patriarch Suiyuan.

Master Suiyuan was probably the kind of person who was resourceful but lacked talent.

Knowing his own lack of talent, he devoted the rest of his life to soul tools, leaving his cultivation insights on them to pass on to future disciples of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

Isn't this spirit of selflessness precisely the way their sect treats every member as family?

It's truly heartbreaking.

"Besides that," Huo Yuhao continued reading the book while Du Busi was overthinking things.

"To build up the sect, I once borrowed ten million gold soul coins from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. I request that future disciples repay the full amount according to the inflation rate and interest. In the future, when you encounter disciples of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School—"

Before Huo Yuhao could finish reading the contents of the book, Du Busi snatched it away.

I stared in disbelief at the last four words on this page—

Do not make things difficult for them.

"Um, I suppose I can be considered a disciple of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Huo Yuhao said to Du Busi somewhat embarrassedly.

How could Du Bu Si not know this? Of course he knew.

Besides what Xiao Xiao would tell him, Huo Yuhao himself is a well-known figure among the new generation of Shrek Academy students, so how could the Body Sect not investigate?

This means that Huo Yuhao not only has the full right to inherit the Spirit Eye Douluo's legacy, but also the sect's diplomatic immunity.

Confining the children of one's former benefactor within the Body Sect would be an act that would bring eternal infamy in the Soul Master world.

"Wait, let me calculate—" Poison Undying began to close his eyes and calculate how much money he needed to repay the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

If they can repay Huo Yuhao, he'll still be a member of their own Body Sect; if they can't—

We won't even consider wiping out the entire family.

The logic is simple: how much damage can a sect leader who harbors resentment towards the sect, and who may be the strongest sect leader in history, cause to the sect?

If this incident causes an irreconcilable conflict in Huo Yuhao's heart, the Body Sect might disband after he becomes the sect leader.

brainwashing?

Even if there's only a one percent chance of memory recovery, Du Busi doesn't want the risk of the Body Sect disbanding.

"Tsk." Du Bu Si couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

This sum of ten million gold soul coins, after six thousand years of compound interest, has become a sum that the Body Sect cannot repay.

If they don't manage to poison him, they'll have to sell the Body Sect and make those Title Douluos work for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School for a thousand years just to barely pay it off.

"Senior Poison Undying." Huo Yuhao understood the current situation and stared at Poison Undying with an innocent look.

"Alas!" Poison Undying sighed heavily.

How come such a promising talent was snatched up by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School right from the start? If only I had seen this child with such talent.

In short, we should try to negotiate with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and see if we can win Huo Yuhao over.

The dog, Zi Lingbei, searched through the pile of soul tools, but after a long time, it still couldn't find what it was looking for.

The bronze mask that he would always wear on his face is nowhere to be found.

Zhang Chen, who was studying at Shrek Academy, looked dejected.

Perhaps my appearance caused a change in the timeline, and now even Xiao Xiao is being killed by a riot of soul beasts in the Sunset Forest.

Because of a shortage of people, I, as a member of the old lady's class, was assigned to Huo Yuhao's team.

Even though I won by doing nothing, I just can't feel happy.

The reason is that Huo Yuhao is very similar to the Emotion God King who was reborn in those Douluo fanfics. Not only is he an eleven-year-old Soul Master, but he also already has an ultimate martial soul.

Instinctively, Zhang Chen kept his distance from them.

"It seems like all the beautiful women are irrelevant to me now, so why should I work so hard?"

On his way home from school, Zhang Chen lamented the fickleness of fate on the main commercial street, realizing that he no longer had the chance to try Huo Yuhao's grilled fish.

Deep within Zhang Chen's consciousness, the true mind simulated by Huo Yuhao sensed that the time was right and it was time to begin the plan.

Then a sound that sounded incredibly pleasant to Zhang Chen rang out, making his blood boil.

Ding! [The Invincible System for Signing In has been activated. Please check in at the correct location.]

Zhang Chen's eyes flashed with a brilliant light, and amidst the bewilderment of those around him, he excitedly shouted to the sky.

"System Daddy, I've been waiting for you for so long! Why are you only arriving now?!"
