Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, the Thief of Heaven

"A library? That kind of place is certainly acceptable, since our collection of books won't be much left after ten thousand years."

Jin Shoucheng generously led the way forward, and indeed there was nothing left; the Spirit Hall's accumulated wealth had long since become Shrek Academy's.

"Teacher, what about the Dao marks on Ye Guyi's body?" Huo Yuhao asked.

Benjamin nodded. "This special Dao trace has an extremely strong ability to counter and target evil and shadow-oriented abilities. I originally wanted you to try developing and cultivating it, but let's skip it."

Why?

"While this ability grants you a strong resistance to evil abilities, it will greatly affect your mental state, making you less tolerant of evil abilities."

"Isn't that great?"

"Not good at all." Benjamin shook his head. "It means you'll easily become intolerant of anything. Don't you want to defeat Tang San and change your destiny? This kind of personality will make it harder for you to integrate the forces around you, and suppressing them will drain your mental energy. You know what I'm trying to say, right?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Seeking power must be suitable for oneself; one cannot be perfect."

"Yes, but once you reach a certain level on your own path, you will naturally possess this ability."

"I understand, teacher."

Just as the group stepped onto the steps of the main hall, Huo Yuhao suddenly turned around.

He seemed to have just vaguely seen that the poor angel girl kneeling here as a warning had cracked open.

"Maybe it's just my imagination?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and followed the others into the main hall.

Click click... click click click...

This crippled body, which had remained kneeling for eight thousand years without showing any signs of damage, suddenly began to develop tiny cracks, slowly splitting open from the inside out.

"This is the only library in our Spirit City."

Jin Shoucheng led the group to a room that was less than a tenth the size of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's library.

Although its size is comparable to that of some main city libraries, it is still too small compared to other forces that have a Title Douluo guarding it.

"Is that all?" Cao Zangxin asked.

"Yes. That's all." Jin Shoucheng nodded. "Moreover, most of what's here is the clan history of the surviving clans of the Spirit Hall around us, and there are very few cultivation insights and other secret techniques for Soul Masters."

"Alright, kids, go see if there's anything you need here," Cao Zangxin said.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao and the other two nodded and scattered to search for the Soul Fusion information that Huo Yuhao (Benjasun) needed, while also looking up things that interested them.

"Well done, old swordsman. Your juniors are quite talented," Jin Shoucheng said with a smile, stroking his beard.

They sat down on the chairs provided indoors and began to chat. Ye Guyi obediently served tea and water to the two elderly people, and then retreated to Jin Shoucheng's side.

Her gaze would intentionally or unintentionally drift toward Huo Yuhao, who was looking for a book with his back to her. Whenever Huo Yuhao turned around, she would hurriedly move away and take small steps backward.

The two titled Douluo seniors naturally noticed the girl's little actions, and they exchanged a smile. Jin Shoucheng joked.

"Your son seems to be quite popular with girls. Two girls around him aren't enough; even my Gu Yi's attention is being drawn to him."

"I..." Ye Guyi was immediately dumbfounded.

But thinking of Huo Yuhao's terrifying appearance earlier, she feared that what she said might lead to bad consequences, so she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

"Oh, the little girl is shy," Cao Zangxin joked. "Yuhao is indeed very popular with girls; he probably won't only have one wife in the future."

"I had the same feeling," Jin Shoucheng said with emotion. "I never imagined that you would be the ones who helped us during our most difficult time ten thousand years ago."

"There's a good saying in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School: 'Don't go to extremes; leave yourself a way out.'"

Actually, he was the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in that era. Ning Rongrong's brother went mad with anger after seeing his sister ascend directly to the God Realm.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School paid such a high price to help you fight the Spirit Hall, and you, Ning Rongrong, wholeheartedly joined the Tang Sect, which is one thing, but at least leave some descendants and bloodline.

After much deliberation, he secretly opened a way out for the Spirit Hall clan, which could be considered a small act of revenge against the Sea God's group.

Although the Spirit Hall was not so much able to be revived because of this small amount of support, it was not completely wiped out either.

On the contrary, it was the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School that gave the Spirit Hall this leeway, thus providing them with a way out.

After a thousand years in the Wuhun City area, when everyone has forgotten about this matter, you can leave the mountain.

These descendants of the Spirit Hall who have lived here for ten thousand years could actually leave, but they are faithful followers of the Angel God and are unwilling to give up their faith.

This is also the source of Ning Zhiyuan's confidence to launch an attack when Shrek Academy was at a low point.

Even if the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School fails and its flame can still escape to this place, where it is protected by the Angel God and the Rakshasa God.

Although it is unknown whether these two deities still exist, the fact that the Spirit Hall lineage has not been completely wiped out over the past ten thousand years means that any power would be wary of any possible means of survival.

In the past ten thousand years, only Gertrude has been killed.

Huo Yuhao pulled a book from the upper bookshelf, but the friction from the book he pulled out caused the book next to it to fall.

"oops!"

The book hit him hard on the head and fell to the ground.

Benjamin noticed that a small gray ball on the bookshelf resembled a hand, gave Benjamin a thumbs-up, and then disappeared.

"Old Sun, what was that thing just now?"

Following Benjamin's perspective, Tianmeng Bingcan also vaguely saw a blurry shadow on the bookshelf and asked Benjamin in alarm.

"No, you must have misjudged me," Benjamin said to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm with a puzzled look.

He then pointed to the book on the ground that had hit Huo Yuhao on the head and said, "This is the one. Open it and take a look. I can vaguely see the words 'Fusion Ring'."

"OK."

Huo Yuhao touched the bag on his head and picked up the ancient and heavy book with a puzzled look. He couldn't help but wonder why his reaction speed as a Great Soul Master hadn't caught up with it.

Huo Yuhao began to flip through the pages quickly, his eyes moving rapidly as he turned the pages.

"Hey kid, watch your step. These books are antiques that have been stored for over a thousand years," Jin Shoucheng shouted at Huo Yuhao.

"Can he keep an eye on everything?" Jin Shoucheng turned to his old friend and asked.

His question was not without reason, because Huo Yuhao was currently flipping through the pages of a book as if he were playing with them; even a Soul Master wouldn't read like that.

"He is a spirit-attribute soul master."

"Oh, then that's not surprising."

Supported by powerful mental abilities, the reading speed of a mental-type Soul Master is not much slower than that of the scanner in Benjamin's world, and in some aspects, it is even more outstanding.

Huo Yuhao quickly found the content about the Fusion Ring in the ancient book, but it immediately gave him a headache.
