Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 334 Don't worry, your mother did it voluntarily (Part 2)

"Just now... wasn't Huo Yuhao's heart pierced?"

Hesitant murmurs rose from the audience.

Immediately afterwards, the audience reacted as if a chain reaction had started, discussing incredulously everything they had just witnessed.

"What exactly was that water droplet? Its power was even greater than the Clear Sky Hammer from before? I didn't even see the attack move clearly."

"Shouldn't we be focusing on Huo Yuhao right now? Why is he still acting like nothing happened? Even a Title Douluo couldn't survive in this situation, right?"

"You're telling me this is a fight between two kids who aren't even twenty? What am I supposed to do here? Is this still the Soul Master Competition?"

Hearing the surrounding chatter, the people in the Spirit Pagoda rest area secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"call--"

Tang Ya plopped back into her seat, patting her chest with lingering fear: "I almost thought something had happened to Yuhao."

Although the others remained silent, they were equally shaken. Even with their confidence in Huo Yuhao, they couldn't remain unmoved after seeing his heart pierced.

"You, how could you possibly do this?"

As if seawater were washing over his head, and with the hand on his neck gradually contracting, the intense feeling of suffocation prevented Tang San from uttering a complete sentence.

Because of the existence of the Sword of Life, he knew very well that this move could not kill Huo Yuhao.

But not dying doesn't mean he won't lose. In his mind, even with the help of the Life Gold, a heart pierced through the heart would be enough to make Huo Yuhao seriously injured and unconscious in an instant.

I had to stay in bed for a year and a half to personally experience the pain I went through after my rebirth.

However, to his utter surprise, this guy, just like Qian Renxue ten thousand years ago, had secretly achieved a divine body, and even after taking this attack, he would not completely lose his fighting ability.

Huo Yuhao's performance was even more exaggerated than Qian Renxue's. The latter was at least seriously injured, but Huo Yuhao acted as if nothing had happened. In less than half a minute, the penetrating wound in his chest had healed completely, and his breathing didn't even fluctuate much.

How could someone who hasn't even reached the level of a Title Douluo possibly achieve a divine body?

He couldn't understand it.

Logically speaking, as an important symbol of becoming a god, the divine body can only be fully realized at the moment of true godhood; otherwise, it should be stuck at a 99% limit.

Take, for example, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King whom he defeated in his previous life. This guy successfully achieved a 99% conversion rate of his divine body through various means, but because he lacked enough faith power to become a god, he was restricted by that last 1% for tens of thousands of years.

Without becoming a god, one cannot achieve a fully divine body. And to become a god, there is a basic requirement: one's cultivation level must reach level ninety-nine.

Someone like Huo Yuhao, who can defeat a Titan with a cultivation level of 60 or 70, only means that his combat power is comparable to the Titan's, and does not mean that he himself is a god.

But now, the situation that has occurred with Huo Yuhao has broken this pattern.

A guy who possesses a divine body at the seventh-ring Soul Saint stage?

What the hell is this joke?

Putting aside the fact that the Douluo plane is still firmly in the hands of the God Realm, it is impossible for any god to dare to choose Huo Yuhao as his successor under the nose of Shura God, one of the three enforcers of the God Realm.

Even if a god dared to do this, he wouldn't have the ability to help Huo Yuhao to this extent!

Or perhaps this guy has actually reached level ninety-nine and has already condensed a divine position through the power of faith.

However, in order to avoid being discovered by the divine realm, he chose to seal himself away, just like the Titan of the Bull.

But where did he get so much faith power?

Considering the thousands of years of accumulation when the first Sea God created his godhood, the Douluo Continent is only so big. Even if Huo Yuhao has great abilities and can absorb the faith power of the entire continent at once, it is impossible for him to do so in such a short time.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Tang San's mind, and he remembered the Ascension Pavilion, which had been completely destroyed in the explosion.

Did this guy get the power of faith from the Ascension Pavilion?

Considering that Huo Yuhao had only changed his body, this guess quickly took hold of Tang San's mind.

Yes.

This guy must have absorbed some of the faith power of the divine realm's central hub through his vertical eye from his previous life while destroying the Ascension Pavilion.

However, the power of faith was not enough for him to condense his own divine position. He could only temporarily advance to a priest like the Titan Niu Tian, ​​and only then did he possess a divine body.

Thinking of this, Tang San felt a sudden pang of regret.

If I had secretly followed them back then, could I have gotten a share of the profits too?

Considering that this thing would quickly dissipate if not absorbed in time, and that even with a divine artifact one could only store a small amount, he felt a pang of heartache.

That's the reserve of faith power that connects to the entire central hub of the divine realm! Can you absorb it all by yourself?!

In terms of artifact quality alone, his trident is superior to Huo Yuhao's Eye of Destiny, and correspondingly, it should be able to store significantly more faith power.

Although this thing cannot be used to directly improve cultivation, it is indispensable for anything that touches the level of gods.

He may be far from becoming a god right now, but he can use this thing to nurture the eight spider spears behind him!

If you channel your faith into him, who knows, one day he might gain an eight-winged sea god?

"It seems like this is the end of it?"

The indifferent tone made Tang San pause slightly. When he came to his senses, he saw Huo Yuhao leisurely looking him up and down and asking in a somewhat amused tone.

"Is there no show going on?"

"..."

Even though the excruciating pain in his body gradually subsided under the influence of anger, his body was no longer able to support him in any effective resistance. All he could do was stare intently at Huo Yuhao with his eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

The skin cracked and bled profusely, and even the meridians and muscles suffered severe damage.

If it weren't for the fact that his physical abilities had surpassed those of most Soul Masters due to Titan's torment, that wave of exploding rings would have been the first thing to happen to him.

"Don't think you've won, Huo Yuhao."

Tang San's eyes blazed with venom: "You dared to do that to Xiao Qi, I will never let you get away with it!"

"Yeah?"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, then suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered softly, as if a devil were speaking: "But I think your mother might not want to see you do this."

「!?」

It was a seemingly random and incomplete statement, yet it made Tang San's pupils shrink sharply: "What do you mean?! What happened to my mother?!"

"Don't worry, she just voluntarily made a deal with me."

Tang San frowned, a bad premonition suddenly rising in his heart: "A deal?"

"uh-huh."

As if lost in memories, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly, and his tone was tinged with emotion.

"Speaking of which, all mothers seem to be the same. Whether they are kind or harsh on others, as long as it involves their own children, they will all be willing to give everything for them."

"I have to admit that, from this point of view alone, both Dai Huabin's mother and your mother were quite competent."

"..."

Tang San trembled all over, his lips quivering, but he didn't know what to say.

Although Huo Yuhao didn't say it explicitly, he understood perfectly well what his mother, A Yin, had gone through.

What kind of deal is this? I bet Huo Yuhao is using some kind of leverage against me.

Especially after hearing the phrase "willing to give everything for the child," Tang San inexplicably thought of Vina, who came from the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire but ultimately gave herself to Huo Yuhao for Long Aotian.

When he witnessed the events at the Body Sect, he was secretly sneering to himself.

He thought that if it were him and Xiaowu, he would risk his life to prevent his lover from suffering any harm.

But reality dealt him a heavy blow.

Xiao Wu was indeed unharmed, because it was his mother who was hurt.

"By the way, you must have sensed Xiaoya's Blue Silver Emperor aura too, right?"

"If your mother hadn't brought it up, I wouldn't even have known that there were so many intricacies involved in awakening the Blue Silver Emperor. She really did a lot for you..."

Looking at Tang San's increasingly unpleasant expression, Huo Yuhao grinned and said, word by word.

She really loves you.

"Huo Yuhao—!!!"

Unable to suppress his killing intent any longer, Tang San's expression twisted to the extreme, his eyes filled with deep-seated resentment and hatred.

"You madman, how dare you do this?!"

He glared angrily at Huo Yuhao, letting his eyelids split open and blood trickle down as he roared.

"You'll regret this, Huo Yuhao, I swear you will! Sooner or later, I'll make you pay for everything you've done!!!"

Why be so angry?

Huo Yuhao tilted his head, seemingly puzzled: "From beginning to end, wasn't all of this your own arrangement?"

Tang San's breath hitched. Recalling his grand plan from his past life, he felt like a rooster being choked, and his words came to an abrupt halt.

Could it be that all of this is because the gods themselves brought forward their millennia-long plan?

Did he personally deliver his daughter and mother to Huo Yuhao?

But then, he looked at Huo Yuhao with a crazed expression, struggling violently: "You're a madman who'll stop at nothing!!!"

"This is between the two of us. Xiaoqi and her mother are innocent. How dare you drag them into this?!"

"Yes, that's exactly what I was wondering about, and I was just about to ask you."

Huo Yuhao still had Tang San's neck in his hand, slowly approaching, his chilling tone suppressing an unspeakable ferocity: "This is clearly a matter between the two of us. How dare you drag my mother into this in our past life?"

Tang San choked for a moment, unsure how to respond. After a long while, he stammered in defense, "I only helped you revive her out of kindness, but you repaid kindness with enmity..."

Blood mixed with filth covered his entire body, and combined with Tang San's comical expression, made him look extremely ugly.

Having witnessed Tang San's disgraceful behavior, Huo Yuhao remained calm, as if he had anticipated Tang San's reaction. However, before he could speak again, a voice suddenly rang out from the sky.

"Stop! You're a fellow student of Shrek Academy, how could you be so cruel to your own classmate! Do you even remember that you're a student of Shrek Academy?!"

Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw that Elder Xuan had somehow moved from the audience seats to the top of the arena, glaring at Huo Yuhao like a god.

"Tang San has clearly lost the ability to resist, yet you still cling to him, even resorting to such cruelty. Have you forgotten our past friendship as classmates?!"

"Classmate? I seem to remember that Tang San left Shrek Academy five years ago?"

Huo Yuhao looked up at Elder Xuan with a half-smile: "And since you old codger think my methods are ruthless, why don't you personally experience the power of that drop of water just now?"

Elder Xuan's face darkened.

Tang San left Shrek Academy because of your interference.

If you hadn't killed Dai Yueheng and attracted Xuanji Douluo, and then arranged for the Death Messenger, how could Tang San have developed a rift with Shrek Academy?

Noticing everyone's gazes were focused on him, Elder Xuan took a deep breath, and his impassioned voice slowly echoed across the arena.

"Even if he only studied at the academy for a year, he is still an indispensable part of Shrek Academy. I will never stand by and watch a student be in mortal danger."

"Moreover, Tang San left Shrek Academy because he had no choice but to do so. The academy never indicated that it would expel him. In fact, when he left, I promised that no matter what, the academy's gates would always be open for him, and he would always have a place in the inner courtyard!"

At this point, Elder Xuan's expression had already become solemn and proud, radiating the noble sentiments unique to a teacher, as if he were bathed in the glory of Shrek Academy that had been passed down for nearly ten thousand years.

After a brief pause, he looked down at Huo Yuhao and continued speaking.

"As for that water droplet you mentioned, giving your all during the match is the greatest respect you can show your opponent, and aren't you standing right here right now?"

"True strength always comes from a spirit of continuous improvement, not from someone like you who, despite having a little power, becomes arrogant and recklessly flaunts it, trying to demonstrate your worth to those weaker than yourself!"

"..."

Hearing Elder Xuan's indignant words, Huo Yuhao blinked, raised his finger and pointed at the six Haotian Sect contestants behind Tang San, whose faces were deathly pale and who looked like they had been sacrificed, and asked in return.

"So I did these too?"

Seeing Elder Xuan's suddenly frozen expression, Huo Yuhao glanced subtly at Tang San, who was about to faint in his arms, and patted his cheek.

"I didn't expect you to have such charisma, managing to get this old bastard who always hates evil to speak up for you, a heretic? He wasn't like this in front of me back then."

When Xuan Lao saw that Huo Yuhao was still thinking of slandering Tang San, his expression changed drastically.

"Huo Yuhao, even now you're trying to cry wolf! Do you really think no one has discovered your true identity?!"

If Tang San is identified as an evil soul master, his words will be tantamount to labeling Shrek Academy as a school that cultivates evil soul masters, which will undoubtedly have a huge negative impact on Shrek Academy's reputation.

What a vicious scheme this is!

No, we absolutely cannot let this happen!

In desperation, he had no choice but to reveal Huo Yuhao's true identity. This would not only divert other people's attention but also allow Shrek Academy to completely distance themselves from this guy as victims.

From training evil spirit masters, they were retaliated against by the Holy Spirit Cult through infiltration for maintaining stability on the continent.

If handled properly, this incident will not only not affect Shrek Academy's reputation, but may even become a shining example for the academy, allowing them to advance further!

To his surprise, Huo Yuhao did not show the panic he expected; instead, he looked puzzled.

"What is your true identity?"

How come he didn't know he had a real identity?

Could it be that this guy has discovered he is a reincarnated god?

This kid actually thinks he can get away with this!

Convinced that Huo Yuhao was making a death throes, Elder Xuan sneered inwardly.

"The captain of the Holy Spirit Cult team, are you still trying to play dumb now?"

His eyes widened, and his voice rose several decibels: "Or shall I address you as the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult?"

"What!?"

The cold, questioning voice reached the audience's ears like a bombshell.

Except for a very few people who knew the inside story, almost everyone had an expression of disbelief on their faces.

"How is this possible?! Huo Yuhao is actually the captain of that Holy Spirit Cult?!"

"I thought that guy was so covered up that he must not be good-looking, but I didn't expect it to be Huo Yuhao."

"But their martial souls and spirit rings are different! I remember Huo Yuhao's martial soul wasn't an eye or that ice; does he have three martial souls?"

"Hiss—the Three Lives Martial Soul, to possess such cultivation and strength at less than twenty years old, who will be able to rival him in the future?"

Gasps of surprise and whispers rose and fell.

Noticing the wary and guarded looks directed at Huo Yuhao, Ju Zi on the platform instinctively gripped the handrail tightly, and her gaze toward Elder Xuan became increasingly hostile.

Beside her, Ye Xishui calmly sipped her tea, showing no surprise but rather delight.

Although she preferred Huo Yuhao to remain the same, if this little rascal were truly forced by these so-called righteous people to completely side with them, and instead stopped fantasizing about everyone peacefully making dumplings together, but instead started leading the Holy Spirit Cult to carry out small massacres every three days and large-scale massacres every five days...

It sounds pretty good!

As if she could see through those calm eyes to the ever-growing darkness and madness within them, Ye Xishui gazed into Huo Yuhao's eyes and couldn't help but smile, murmuring softly in a voice only she could hear.

"That's it, that's the look in your eyes, Huo Yuhao. From the first moment I saw you, I knew that we've always been the same kind of people."

"What, are you preparing to publicly interrogate me in front of 200,000 people?"

Looking at Elder Xuan glaring at him from mid-air, Huo Yuhao smiled noncommittally.

The next second, as a vast aura burst forth from his body, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky and landed precisely on Elder Xuan.

Caught off guard, Elder Xuan let out a miserable groan as he crashed through the barrier like a meteorite, slamming heavily onto the arena.

"Excuse me, you can ask questions, but I don't like being questioned in a condescending manner, so please be kneeling down and talk to me now."

Huo Yuhao casually tossed Tang San aside and stared indifferently at Elder Xuan, who was lying on the ground unable to move.

"Getting back to the main point, you're right, I am indeed the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult."

"and then?"
