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

Chapter 4 You Don't Deserve It (New Book Launch, Please Add to Favorites!)

"yes."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, but then changed the subject.

"But I came back, and I'm standing here again."

He has been given another chance, and this time, everything will be different.

Huo Yuhao met Yu Ming's gaze calmly, scrutinizing his hysterical expression as if he were looking at an evil soul master who, having just discovered his hidden power, considered himself superior. No matter how glamorous his outward disguise was, it could not conceal his base nature.

"You are different from Dai Huabin. After reading your memories, I still don't understand where your sense of superiority, your attempt to judge me, comes from."

"Even if I hadn't been reborn, you wouldn't be able to walk the same path I did. With a weak will, your fate would only be to die during the fusion process with Hyotei, and even your soul would be completely devoured by that pain."

At this point, Huo Yuhao gave a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, but then his smile vanished.

"But thanks to you, I've found the first meaning in my life after being reborn—"

His expression was as cold and aloof as he looked down at Yu Ming, as if announcing his return, and he spoke each word carefully.

"That's to get rid of you unruly vermin!"

A flash of cold light, and the White Tiger Dagger silently pierced Yu Ming's left shoulder. There was still no blood seeping out, but it seemed to trigger a chain reaction. Yu Ming's body and even his soul were disintegrating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Feeling his body gradually losing its vitality, Yu Ming's eyes flashed with terror, and he cried out in pain, but no matter how much he struggled, he could not slow down the process in the slightest.

"You executioner, you've killed so many people. You'll definitely go to hell."

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.

"Perhaps it's true, as you say, that one day someone will come to judge me and send me to hell, but that person won't be you."

He slowly bent down, gazing at Yu Ming, whose head was the only part of his body remaining. His lips parted, and in the last moment of his life, he sent a faint sound into the other's ear.

"Because you don't deserve it."

As Yu Ming completely turned to ashes and vanished into the world, a bead the size of an infant's fist, entirely ice-blue in color, fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Is this considered monster hunting and loot drops?"

Huo Yuhao's expression was somewhat strange. Through the other party's memories, he naturally recognized that this bead was the ice-attribute martial soul that could evolve. He bent down and picked it up. The bead was cool to the touch, but not piercing. Inside, there was a deep vortex that was constantly rotating.

He put it into his pocket and thought about absorbing it when he had time. After all, it was a spoil of war, so why not take it? Although the fusion with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could provide him with a semi-finished martial soul, this one was clearly more powerful and could evolve.

The unfinished martial soul was unusable before it was fused with Ice Emperor. However, with this bead, when it is fused with Tianmeng, the ice attribute martial soul should be able to be activated directly. After all, this thing can evolve by absorbing ice attribute power, and it does not necessarily need to absorb a soul ring.

And wasn't the martial soul that Brother Tianmeng used to construct the semi-finished product precisely ice-attribute energy?

As for what this martial soul will become after merging with Tianmeng, that remains to be seen.

It could be an Ice Silkworm, or it could be an ice element like Ling Luochen's. In any case, it can continue to evolve by absorbing the power of the Ice Emperor. Although the combat power of this martial soul is not as strong as in its previous life before fusing with the Ice Emperor, it will at least give him more ways to fight enemies.

After doing all this, Huo Yuhao glanced at Dai Huabin on the ground. The dark blue light on his body gradually subsided, and he felt a sharp pain throughout his body. The intense weakness made him sway involuntarily.

This ability comes from the Pride Source that he unlocked in time. As the source of one of the Seven Deadly Sins of the God Realm, Huo Yuhao had just roughly understood the effects of this thing.

There are two effects, and both of them can actually be described by one name—breaking the limit.

For example, the explosive power he just used, similar to that of the arrogant god in the divine realm, can greatly enhance his soul power cultivation and physical attributes in a short period of time.

This is also an important factor in his ability to defeat four guards with only level one soul power. In particular, the "Reign of the World" technique he used later could not be used without soul power as a fusion medium, even with spiritual power.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little fortunate. Fortunately, the other party was wandering in a safe area near the Duke's mansion, so the guards he brought with him were not particularly powerful. If they were all Soul Masters or Soul Kings, even if he had the power of Pride and Sin, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist.

After all, his soul power was only level one, and his physical fitness was at the bottom among children of the same age due to malnutrition. No matter how rich his combat experience was, he could not fight against an enemy whose strength could overwhelm him.

If the first effect is explosive, then the other effect is subtle and gradual.

In short, the moment Pride was unlocked, it began to improve Huo Yuhao's body, allowing him to permanently break through the limits in both the quality and quantity of his soul power.

This improvement is like how he condensed a soul core that only other titled Douluo could condense at the Soul Saint realm in his previous life. It means that in every major stage thereafter, the quality and amount of his soul power will far exceed those of his peers.

This situation may not be obvious at lower levels, but as the level increases, the gap between him and others becomes more and more terrifying.

The benefits of improving the quality of soul power go beyond these. It should be noted that there are no decent body-tempering methods in the Douluo Continent. From one-ring soul masters to nine-ring titled Douluo, the improvement of physical fitness is all achieved through the cultivation of soul power. Huo Yuhao, whose soul power quality surpasses that of his peers, will naturally have stronger physical fitness. The density of his bones and muscles, as well as the strength of his internal organs and meridians, will be greater than that of others.

Of course, there are also drawbacks. Firstly, this power can make people arrogant in daily life, but it doesn't matter to Huo Yuhao. As the God of Emotions in his previous life, he can be said to be naturally able to restrain such emotions. Although he doesn't know what will happen as he unlocks more and more original sins, at least it won't affect him now.

Secondly, with the increased soul power capacity, cultivation will naturally take longer. However, this issue is negligible compared to the benefits brought by Pride. We can find more ways to quickly improve our cultivation level later.

Huo Yuhao's smile vanished, and he turned to look at the woods behind him.

"Have you seen enough? Come out."

Suddenly, a flurry of movements came from behind a tree. A moment later, a black-haired figure emerged from behind the tree, head down, hands nervously clutching the hem of her skirt. Although she looked somewhat different from when she entered school in her previous life, Huo Yuhao recognized her at a glance.

Who else could it be but Zhu Lu?

Although she tried to remain calm, the tears welling up in her eyes and her trembling body betrayed her true feelings.

Seeing Zhu Lu walk out without even testing whether he was bluffing, Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched involuntarily. After all, she was only a six-year-old child. Even if children in this world were precocious, this age was still a period of ignorance.

As for why the other party appeared here, it was probably brought by an elder of the clan to make contact with Dai Huabin. Huo Yuhao was still clear about the relationship between the Duke's Mansion and the Zhu family. There were many factions within the Zhu family. Judging from Dai Huabin's talent in his previous life, his innate soul power was definitely not low. Naturally, some people would want to place their bets in advance.

"Alright, stop crying."

Huo Yuhao toned down his aura and rubbed his temples to relieve the headache caused by excessive mental exertion. Since the other party hadn't provoked him, he naturally wouldn't make a move.

"Stay here quietly until someone comes looking for you, can you do that?"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao did not intend to kill her, Zhu Lu was stunned for a moment, then the fear on her face lessened, she nodded and asked in a low voice.

"Are you... going to leave the Duke's mansion?"

Seeing the current situation, she naturally guessed that Huo Yuhao wanted to delay the time it took for the people in the Duke's mansion to discover this place, so as to take the opportunity to leave the Duke's mansion.

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, his voice suddenly turning cold.

"What do you want to do?"

"without"

Zhu Lu waved her hand in a panic, then took off the storage bracelet on her wrist and carefully handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"There's some money in here that should be helpful to you."
