Douluo Continent: Shrek Prince, Getting to the Root of the Matter

"Pfft!"

Dai Huabin coughed up a mouthful of blood, still not understanding what had happened.

One moment he was in the academy anticipating the deaths of Yu Wudao and the other two, the next he found himself in an unfamiliar place with a dagger piercing his chest.

"Young master!"

The Soul King shouted anxiously, then gritted his teeth and yelled at Huo Yuhao:

"Damn it! What did you do?!"

"Haha~"

Huo Yuhao squinted, revealing an extremely enjoyable expression, and then reached out and touched the inside of Dai Huabin's shirt hem.

He removed a metal button engraved with strange white patterns and then showed it to the two of them.

"This was given to me by Brother Wudao. He said it's a soul tool he got from the Sun Moon Empire, and it has a one-time teleportation function."

Then he opened his right hand, which had been tightly clenched, and a nearly identical button appeared in his hand.

"As long as I input soul power into this device, the other carrier will be instantly teleported to my front!"

"Brother Wudao already knew about your plan today! The reason the three of us swaggered out of the academy was precisely for this moment!"

Huo Yuhao spoke excitedly, ignoring the Soul King assassin beside him, and staring straight at Dai Huabin's pale face, revealing an extremely cruel smile.

"Dai Huabin, you still have some time before you succumb to the poison, it's time we settled some scores!"

……

On the other side, Yu Wudao sat on a tree stump, stepping on the head of a Soul King assassin, with Wang Dong meditating and recovering beside him.

An aged voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Wu Dao, that teleportation array has been triggered!"

"Oh? It seems things are going smoothly on Huo Yuhao's end."

Yu Wudao calmly replied that with Mu En secretly protecting him, there wouldn't be any problems.

"That kid was a lot like me for a time; his whole life was dominated by hatred."

Yu Wudao nodded and said:

"There's nothing wrong with that. Hatred only has meaning when it becomes an obsession, an unyielding will, and occupies your entire life."

Electrolux had never expected Yu Wudao to have this view; it was practically a response to his life. He shook his head and said:

"But what happens after the hatred is over? Will he vent that hatred on the whole world? It is immoral to seek revenge, but too much hatred is not a good thing."

He shared his own experience, not wanting Yu Wudao to become too obsessive.

"The reason he vented it to the world is because after he took his revenge, his whole life lost its fulcrum and its purpose. He could only see the world through the lens of hatred."

In Huo Yuhao's life, I, who will help him take revenge, will become this fulcrum!

Old Master Yi, hatred that is not heavy enough cannot be called hatred. Hatred must have a strong sense of presence at all times!

If the Avenger isn't suffocated by the pressure, he'll soon forget everything in the calm of daily life.

After Yu Wudao finished speaking meaningfully, Electrolux fell silent.

Although Yu Wudao's argument seems like fallacy, or even is fallacy, he has to admit that it is an objectively existing perspective and possibility.

At Electrolux's level, he doesn't care whether what you say is right or wrong, profound or superficial; he only cares about whether it exists or is possible.

The claim that Yu Wudao exists is highly likely and is an objective fact.

"Is it lacking a fulcrum?"

Electrolux sighed, his gaze wistful.

With the nourishment of the life-giving gold during this period, his soul has been completely stabilized, and even his memories have been mostly restored.

Time passed quickly, and Wang Dong awoke from his meditation.

Huo Yuhao also dragged two mangled corpses back here. The head of the Soul King's corpse was blown off. Yu Wudao guessed that it was Tianmeng Ice Silkworm who made the move.

The other corpse, covered in wounds and barely recognizable as human, was clearly Dai Huabin.

Wang Dong was startled by what he saw and felt a pang of pity.

"Killing him would have been enough, why did you have to desecrate his corpse?"

She said to Huo Yuhao with some dissatisfaction.

"Who said I desecrated a corpse? Every single one of these wounds was carefully left by me when Dai Huabin was still alive!"

"alright!"

Yu Wudao interrupted their argument, looking at Huo Yuhao's swollen eyes, and said:

"Now that things have come to this, there's no way to return it to the Duke's mansion, otherwise the truth might be exposed..."

"What should we do then?"

Huo Yuhao asked somewhat anxiously.

If he had known there would be such consequences, he would have restrained himself a little more.

Wang Dong also looked at Huo Yuhao with some disdain.

"That would only cause trouble for the wicked!"

Because of Huo Yuhao's abusive behavior, she developed a sense of disgust towards this classmate whom she originally had no particular opinion of.

Huo Yuhao ignored Wang Dong's sarcasm and looked at Yu Wudao with some anxiety.

"Brother Wudao! If all else fails, just take me..."

"Alright! Just destroy the evidence!"

"What?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Yu Wudao with some surprise.

Yu Wudao then picked up the unconscious Soul King from beneath his feet and asked:

"You didn't forget to record this, did you?"

"No!"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and took out a recording soul tool from his storage soul tool.

"That's settled then! Let's go, drag Dai Huabin's body to feed the dogs! Just say that my battle with this Soul Emperor affected his body, and that his bones have been completely destroyed!"

If you edit the background in the video, there are such obvious signs of a fight here that no one can find fault with it!

As long as there's video evidence proving we didn't kill them, that's fine!

"Wu Dao is indeed meticulous!"

Wang Dong said with a smile, staying close to Yu Wudao.

Yu Wudao glanced at her but didn't say anything.

"Why does it smell like mutton...?"

The three of them quickly disposed of Dai Huabin's body before embarking on their journey back to school.

"Brother Wudao, thank you so much! You've helped me so much; I'll definitely not refuse to help you if you ever need anything in the future!"

He said with a determined look on his face.

Yu Wudao waved his hand and said calmly:

"There's no need for that. I killed Dai Huabin simply because I didn't like him and to get revenge for Wang Dong. Besides, this is nothing."

Dai Huabin has gone mad, daring to assassinate me, but the White Tiger Duke's mansion isn't full of fools!

"Brother Wudao, what do you mean...?"

Huo Yuhao had some guesses and asked in an expectant tone.

"Just you wait! By tomorrow night at the latest, Dai Yueheng will have to come here and apologize to me!"

The three arrived at the academy quickly. Wang Dong went back to his dormitory first, while Yu Wudao found a place to lock up the Soul King assassin he had deliberately left behind.
