Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, the Thief of Heaven

Chapter 97 The Heart of a Strong Person

"We've arrived! Elder Don Juan's position is just ahead!" many Tang Clan disciples exclaimed excitedly.

They had just sensed the soul power fluctuations emanating from Elder Don Juan during his battle, which meant he was nearby.

There were a few faint fluctuations of soul power around Don Juan, but they quickly disappeared, which means the elders must have dealt with the enemy.

When they arrived at the scene, everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Just as they had expected, the scene was devastated by the aftershocks of the battle, with the bodies of several unknown soul masters scattered everywhere.

In the middle of the battlefield, a sheet of ice had formed, and at the center of the ice, Elder Don Juan lay frozen, powerless and kneeling.

Whether it was fluctuations in soul power, fluctuations in mental power, or the aura of life, they all completely disappeared.

Elder Don Juan is dead.

Even more shocking was a young man, covered in blood and wearing only metal armor from the waist down, carrying a heavily injured and unconscious girl on his back as he walked toward them with a gloomy expression.

"Halt! Are you the intruder who invaded the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"

Among the disciples, the leading Soul Emperor expert Tang Yuanhao raised the Clear Sky Hammer and pointed it directly at Huo Yuhao, who was walking towards them, but Huo Yuhao remained completely unmoved.

His steps were calm and powerful, as if he didn't take his opponent, whose soul power was thirty levels higher than his, seriously at all.

This opponent, whose strength was unknown, instilled fear in Tang Yuanhao, even though he only had soul power fluctuations of just over level 30.

What's going on with Elder Don Juan kneeling on the ground?

What's with this arrogant and calm pace?

The boy walked up to him, and he instinctively made way for him.

This made Tang Yuanhao feel extremely humiliated, as he had actually been intimidated by a kid whose soul power was thirty levels lower than his own.

"Kid! You—"

"Get out of my way if you don't want to die."

These emotionless yet forceful words reached Tang Yuanhao's ears, causing him to shrink back and swallow his angry words.

Just by looking at his calm demeanor, you can tell that this kid is terrifyingly strong.

His body language and overall aura were telling these Haotian Sect disciples a story.

I have already killed the strongest person here. I paid a considerable price to kill him. I really don't have the power to kill you all.

But even if I only have one percent or one-thousandth of my strength left, I am confident that I can kill any one of you who dares to stand up for me.

Come on, who's the first to come up and die?

As time goes by, my strength will gradually recover. When that time comes, I will be able to kill you all.

Come on, come on!

Huo Yuhao's gaze was gloomy and calm, and all the Haotian Sect disciples blocking his way involuntarily made way for him.

Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a sinister smile.

What's with all this talk about the outstanding Haotian Hammer and the majestic Haotian Sect?

They're nothing but a bunch of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong. If they were truly tough, they wouldn't have been forced to seal off their mountain by the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago.

All I need to do is project an unparalleled aura, and I can scare these cowards so much that they tremble with fear and dare not step forward.

This was the solution Huo Yuhao came up with when he was in a desperate situation where he was extremely exhausted.

Benjamin and Electrolux nodded in satisfaction at Huo Yuhao's current growth, noting that he was showing the aura of a future powerhouse.

"Damn it, we were actually scared by a mere Soul Master."

"Why are you going up there? Can't you see Elder Don Juan over there?"

"He's just a minor Soul Master—"

Once Huo Yuhao had walked a distance away from them, they began to whisper among themselves.

After some deliberation, they realized that even if they were cowardly, they should still test the strength of this young Soul Master.

When they looked in Huo Yuhao's direction, Huo Yuhao had already disappeared.

A theft of space.

Using all his soul power, Huo Yuhao abandoned his perception of the teleportation location and fled at all costs, choosing his destination without regard for anything else.

Poof!

He felt himself plunge into the water, and desperately swam to the surface, using the last bit of his soul power to create a piece of ice to float on the water.

That way, he and Xiao Xiao wouldn't drown.

"Sect Master, are you truly determined to venture into the certain death trap of Sunset Forest?"

Beside a stream, Jin Peng, the vice sect leader of the Body Sect, advised Du Busi, who was heading towards Sunset Forest.

"Jin Peng, do you know how rare it is for the successors of my Body Sect?" Du Bu Si spoke coldly, leaving Jin Peng speechless for a moment.

Their lineage has become increasingly rare as time has progressed.

Although each of their martial souls would become quite powerful after a second awakening, the number of disciples was still far too small.

This generation of disciples of the Body Sect has fewer than ten members of this new generation. If this continues, the succession of the Body Sect will indeed be a problem.

Although there are exceptional talents like Long Aotian among the new generation who can rival the Poison Brothers of yesteryear, even with such high aptitude, they may not be able to inherit the original seed.

Moreover, because there is only one Long Aotian, there is absolutely no room for error in the succession of the next sect leader in the main body.

If something happens to Long Aotian, his original body will face a dilemma where no one can inherit his legacy.

It is feared that from this point on, the Body Sect will decline more and more, and eventually disappear from the continent like the Tang Sect.

Therefore, Du Busi's desire to reach the Limit Douluo level is not only for greater strength, but also for a longer lifespan to find the next generation of successors.

"Without your presence, the strength of the Body Sect will inevitably decline. You've seen the current situation on the continent; various forces are stirring up trouble. What will happen if you remain in seclusion for too long without breaking through?"

Jin Peng's words made Du Busi stop in his tracks. He turned to look at Jin Peng and said earnestly, "Old Jin, I understand your concerns. But no matter how the world changes, as long as my Body Sect remains closed off, there will be no problem. However, the matter of the successor cannot wait any longer."

"Are you absolutely certain that you will succeed in reaching the Limit Douluo level?" Jin Peng questioned.

"Trust me." Poison Undying grinned, then pulled a scroll from his soul tool and waved it in front of Jin Peng.

"This is the Spirit Eye Douluo's Notebook that I found in the library of our main body. This predecessor, who laid the foundation for the current structure of our main body sect six thousand years ago, pointed out that there is something in Sunset Forest that can help me break through to the Limit Douluo level."

"The Spirit Eye Douluo's Handbook?!" Upon hearing this, Jinpeng's eyes lit up.

To outsiders, Spirit Eye Douluo was the weakest sect leader in the history of the Body Sect, and he had not even successfully developed his second awakening of his martial soul.

Little did people know that the reason why Spirit Eye Douluo was able to become the sect leader of the Body Sect was entirely because of his extraordinary wisdom, which laid the foundation for the current development pattern of the Body Sect.

Moreover, this titled Douluo also left behind prophecies and solutions for major crises in history.

Among all the sect leaders throughout history, Spirit Eye Douluo's prestige even surpassed that of the first Body Douluo, who pioneered the second awakening. He is the undisputed cornerstone of the Body Sect.
