Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 204 Huo Yuhao's Burning Memories (Daily 10,000 words)

In Huo Yuhao's short life of just over ten years, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion experienced many more complex emotions that only humans possess.

Besides life and death and killing, there are many other emotions rarely seen in the world of soul beasts mixed together, impacting the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's thin values.

What are fear, confusion, and loneliness?

What are loyalty, commitment, and trustworthiness?

What constitutes creation, effort, and joy?

Huo Yuhao's memories contain the brightest qualities among humankind: filial piety, loyalty, trustworthiness, self-discipline, kindness, and sacrifice.

However, Huo Yuhao's memories are also tinged with the dark side of humanity: greed, deceit, cunning, and the willingness to do anything to achieve one's goals.

All sorts of complex emotions and wills, both righteous and evil, surged into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mental world, its meager memory unable to bear it all.

If the three-eyed golden lion's meager 15,000-year-old memory is like an unusually long sheet of white paper, so long that if you stand in the middle, you can't see the beginning when you look up, you can't see the end when you look back, and if you look down, you can only see a few strokes on the paper, then Huo Yuhao's memory is like a small lava particle that sprang from a volcano.

Although small, it has a unique and magnificent shape; although tiny, it is intensely burning; although its burning to the end is extremely short, every minute and every second of its short life is filled with dazzling light.

Huo Yuhao's short lifespan of over ten years was like a stubborn, hard rock in a latrine—unbreakable, indestructible, and unscalding. No matter what kind of hardship he endured, it could not completely defeat him, neither physical pain nor any impact on his mental world could.

"Though battered and bruised, it remains firm and strong, unmoved by winds from east, west, north, or south."

A line of poetry inexplicably appeared in the mind of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The boy reciting this poem seemed to be quite young. He was dressed in a thin silk robe that he hadn't changed in a long time. He gazed at the bright moon in the distance outside the window of the castle tower, then turned to look at her—no, his gaze was directed at Huo Yuhao. This was just Huo Yuhao's memory.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's warm breath sprayed onto Huo Yuhao, making Huo Yuhao, who had already broken free from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's memories, feel somewhat embarrassed. Usually, others would peruse his memories, but now it was finally his turn to experience someone else's memories.

To be honest, there's not much to say about the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's memories. Moreover, what Huo Yuhao saw were just fragments of memories. Most of the time, Huo Yuhao's memories of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could be summarized in general terms.

Eat, eat, eat! This is delicious, that is delicious too.

Huo Yuhao also gained a lot from this long memory, such as the fact that the brains of those soul beasts tasted better.

No, Huo Yuhao shook off his desire to taste the brains of various soul beasts. Besides the expansion of his spiritual sea, his gains this time seemed to include the awakening of some incredible ability, as well as—a complete guide to hunting various soul beasts.

Yes, Huo Yuhao saw all kinds of soul beasts, both those he had read about in textbooks and those he had never seen before. All the so-called rare, endangered, and extinct soul beasts mentioned in various materials appeared in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's diet.

In addition, Huo Yuhao also saw two figures in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's memory fragments: a deity and an being who would soon become a deity.

"Ignore defenses, never miss?"

Huo Yuhao pondered these words, his eyes gleaming with excitement. What a profound and flawless technique! The opponent's skill was beyond Huo Yuhao's comprehension. To truly comprehend such a powerful technique, one must find a way to break it through countless deadly battles.

If the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were still conscious, it would have noticed that a black thread connecting Huo Yuhao to the heavens had snapped off before it could even fully form.

The deep purple threads of fate represent conspiracy, while the black threads of fate represent death.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion left, taken away by a three-headed dog with a fiery red body. The dog carried a body of a guard whose fate was unknown on its shoulder. Before leaving, the three dog heads gave Huo Yuhao a complicated look. Three eyes. Huo Yuhao couldn't understand the meaning of that look.

However, before leaving, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion left him a small gift: a shattered meteorite from outer space, which was now broken into seven or eight pieces.

According to her, nothing is more surprising than a meteorite falling from the sky.

Just after the Three-Eyed Golden Lion left, Huo Yuhao activated the distress flare that Yan Shaozhe had given him.

A burst of red light suddenly shot out from his hand, soaring into the sky and rising straight up to a height of several hundred meters before exploding with a bang, turning into countless tiny golden-red light spots that spread out in the air.

Huo Yuhao hadn't used the signal flare before, partly because he needed to silence witnesses.

Leaving Dai Huabin alive would not help Huo Yuhao kill him; on the contrary, it would increase Huo Yuhao's motivation to kill Dai Huabin.

Secondly, although this signal flare was conspicuous, it wasn't that conspicuous. If it had been launched too early, the people in Shrek City would definitely not have seen it. Therefore, Huo Yuhao could only use the signal flare after the Shrek people arrived.

"Yuhao!"

Yan Shaozhe's loud voice rang out as soon as Huo Yuhao lit the signal flare. After bidding farewell to Du Busi, Qian Duoduo carried Ning Ge and sped all the way back to Shrek City.

Immediately afterwards, about half a day later, a Soul Saint-level mercenary carried a fixed-mounted Soul Guidance Cannon that had been smashed to pieces but still bore the Shrek Academy mark to inform Shrek that a Shrek student was being targeted by a group of assassins and was fleeing through the Star Dou Forest.

The Shrek Academy members weren't stupid; they reacted almost immediately. They realized that Huo Yuhao's method of escaping poison so quickly might have gone wrong, and he had just run into a group of assassins who wanted to kill him.

Yan Shaozhe grabbed the Soul Saint by the collar in a hurry. The aura of a level 94 Title Douluo was almost crushed by the Soul Saint. Qian Duoduo, who was standing next to him, was even more anxious. His eyes were red and he almost bled. The aura of a level 95 Super Douluo was leaking out uncontrollably.

When the two heard that the people chasing Huo Yuhao were three Soul Kings and more than a dozen Soul Masters, they almost fainted. They grabbed the Soul Saint and flew away while demanding an explanation from him.

After hearing that Huo Yuhao had used a fixed-position soul-guided cannon to kill one of the Soul King-level assassins in one go, the two of them felt a little more confident. Yes, Yuhao was not only a genius in the Martial Soul system, but also a genius in the Soul Guidance system. Such a cunning person could definitely hold out until they arrived.
