Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 138 Memories Flow Like a Tide (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

The freshman assessment elimination round has come to an end, and after a morning of competition, the top eight teams have been determined.

Due to the interference of a certain old man, the two Soul Master teams, which had won all ten matches in the round-robin tournament, were eliminated before they even made it into the quarterfinals.

While this is undoubtedly a regrettable situation for both teams, it only adds to the fearsome reputation of Huo Yuhao's team.

Despite not having a single Soul Master level expert in their team, they managed to defeat two teams with Soul Master level experts. As a result, even Dai Huabin's team couldn't help but turn their attention to Huo Yuhao's team when they arrived.

Huo Yuhao also noticed Dai Huabin's gaze and turned to look. It was a handsome yet cold face, with long, golden hair parted in the middle and cascading down his sides. A closer look revealed double pupils in his deep blue eyes. He was also taller than his peers.

When Huo Yuhao saw his appearance, he was suddenly shocked and grabbed Wang Dong's arm, but he quickly regained his composure, though his eyes held a fierce glint that he was trying hard to suppress.

Wang Dong was startled by his sudden action and turned to look at him, only to find that although Huo Yuhao's expression was calm, a hint of ferocity unconsciously flashed in his eyes. Huo Yuhao's hand was gripping tightly, even causing Wang Dong some pain.

Huo Yuhao could never forget the time he bumped into the other person while hanging up the clothes, which led to the other person ordering their servants to beat him up. At that moment, Huo Yun'er ran out and hugged Huo Yuhao tightly, but all she got in return was another person getting beaten up.

The other party's expression remained cold and arrogant. Only after listening to Huo Yuhao's cries and Huo Yun'er's pleas until they were barely audible did the two guards finally stop.

Huo Yuhao also couldn't forget the month he and Huo Yun'er endured hunger. At that time, Huo Yun'er had just received her allowance when she encountered this young master who was eagerly trying to buy the memory pearl.

"Young Master, you've run out of your allowance for this month. How about we buy it next month?"

A servant followed behind Dai Huabin and whispered.

"Isn't there still money in the storeroom? Look at this lowly maid, didn't she just receive her pay?"

Dai Huabin pointed at Huo Yun'er, who was looking down and trying to hide herself in an inconspicuous corner.

"You servants' wages can wait. I'll pay you back after I buy the memory beads."

Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao's monthly allowance was taken away by a single sentence, all for a fun and interesting photo-remembering bead.

Perhaps the other servants later received their due wages again, but Huo Yun'er did not.

In the year since returning from Ashina, Huo Yuhao has been wishing nothing more than to kill Dai Huabin, no, the Duchess and her children. What he learned in Ashina was not benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, but only the skills of killing. So he naturally felt no burden when it came to killing.

What allowed Huo Yuhao to restrain his murderous intent was the Duchess's power. In the White Tiger Duke's mansion, Huo Yuhao could do nothing. Unlike him, an unrecognized illegitimate son, Dai Huabin had countless protectors around him.

Moreover, even if Huo Yuhao successfully killed Dai Huabin, so what? The one who truly allowed Dai Huabin to do whatever he wanted and humiliate them was the Duchess.

Huo Yuhao was not afraid of death, but he had to consider his mother's feelings. It was for this reason that Huo Yuhao put aside the old grievances and did nothing to the Duchess and Dai Huabin. He simply took his mother and quietly left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion with the power of Moon Concealment.

Dai Huabin's face remained as cold and stern as ever, just like when he casually ordered his servants to beat Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun'er back then. He clearly no longer recognized Huo Yuhao. Yes! Even when he brought disaster to Huo Yuhao and his mother, he never gave this half-brother a second glance.

Huo Yuhao hadn't expected that, despite having conducted a thorough investigation into the other party's existence, he would still be so agitated when facing him directly, to the point that his emotional control had been compromised for the first time in years.

Wang Dong was filled with shock. This was the first time Huo Yuhao had shown such emotions, and he had no idea what had happened to Huo Yuhao. But he was certain that it was related to Dai Huabin, since Huo Yuhao's eyes had never left him from the very beginning.

"Yuhao, Yuhao, calm down. What's wrong with you?" Wang Dong whispered, trying to comfort him.

The drawing of lots continued, and no one noticed the change in Huo Yuhao's expression. After taking a few deep breaths, Huo Yuhao returned to his original state.

"It's nothing, let's go draw lots. I think we shouldn't run into Dai Huabin's team before the finals."

Huo Yuhao didn't say much, but gestured for Wang Dong to go up on stage to draw lots. As Huo Yuhao had said, they did not encounter Dai Huabin's team in the quarterfinals.

When Wang Dong returned after drawing lots, he looked at Huo Yuhao, whose expression was normal, and felt a little dazed. It was as if everything that had happened before was his own illusion, but in fact, it could not possibly be an illusion!

Huo Yuhao's team drew position number three this time. Soon after, another team drew position number three and their expressions changed drastically. The three of them seemed to be wearing masks of pain.

If drawing one of the other five teams is considered a very good draw, and drawing Dai Huabin's team is considered a bad draw, then drawing Huo Yuhao's team is definitely the worst draw.

After all, Huo Yuhao's team had already defeated a team with a spirit fusion skill in the round-robin stage, and also defeated two Soul Master teams in the knockout stage. In terms of record alone, Huo Yuhao's team's record was much more impressive than Dai Huabin's team.

A moment later, the two sides confronted each other in the assessment area and exchanged names.

The strength of their opponents this time was vastly different from before.

For other teams, a team composed of three Great Soul Masters with the best Soul Ring ratio is already powerful enough.

But for Huo Yuhao's team, the opponent was definitely weak, even far inferior to Huang Chutian's team. At least Huang Chutian had a Martial Soul Fusion Technique, right?

It was in this match that Huo Yuhao used his Spirit Eye Martial Soul for the first time. Standing next to Wang Dong, the two super-limited-age soul ring configurations, one yellow and one purple, shocked the entire audience. Even Dai Huabin couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

"Let's go down. It'll save us both some time, don't you think?"

Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked at the three people. His golden eyes, combined with his heroic and extraordinary appearance, made him look like a servant who had descended from the heavens to announce a decree from the celestial realm.

"Two purple second spirit rings"
