Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 256 Tang Sect Skills Interest Learning Group (Daily 10,000 words)

Huo Yuhao was curious about the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Step, but he wasn't particularly eager for it. After all, it was just a movement technique and footwork.

Just like Isshin Ashina dodging his own slash and then gracefully slashing horizontally to send him back to the Sculptor's Idol, it demonstrates his control over every muscle in his body and his grasp of the situation.

Tang Ya was overjoyed and readily agreed to Xiao Xiao and He Caitou's application to join the Tang Clan.

The Tang Clan's decline was due to the widespread appearance of soul tools, but now that the Tang Clan wants to rise again, it must start with soul tools.

A Tang Clan disciple with exceptional talent can only maintain a certain level of combat strength. If the Tang Clan truly wants to restore its former glory, then economic income is essential. Soul tools can not only bring economic income to the Tang Clan, but also elevate its status on the continent.

Therefore, combining the soul tool with the Tang Clan's hidden weapons is naturally of paramount importance.

Huo Yuhao simply shook his head. He felt that the mess Bei Bei and Tang Ya had made was unreliable. Putting aside whether the new product resulting from the combination of hidden weapons and soul tools should be considered a hidden weapon or a soul tool, the elite policy that Bei Bei and Tang Ya had come up with didn't seem like it could work.

Even powerful sects like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Haotian School have countless ordinary disciples. When they join these sects, they are protected by the sects and are also required to fight for the sects' interests.

Beibei and Tangya's current development strategy looks more like a "Tang Sect Skills Interest Learning Group," which operates on a referral system with no profit channels and no sect resources other than their old, treasured possessions.

This development model carries a strong sense of dabbling. Logically speaking, what Tang Sect should do most right now is to put aside its status as a top sect from ten thousand years ago and rise step by step from humble beginnings like other small sects, instead of pursuing some elite development path.

However, Huo Yuhao felt that his idea might be flawed. To this day, the Tang Sect only has four members. Even if they planned to recruit more disciples, they would probably have to wait until Tang Ya, Bei Bei, and the others had grown up before making a decision.

With the Tang Clan in decline, everything was kept simple. Tang Ya's initiation ceremony with He Caitou and Xiao Xiao was not complicated. After the ceremony, everyone had a good meal to celebrate. Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi also participated.

It was because of this meal that the seven people who became part of the reserve team got to know each other quite well.

"Junior brother, I'd like to have a private talk with you." After dinner, He Caitou called out to Huo Yuhao, who was about to return to his dormitory to rest.

"Okay." Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou, who seemed to have something on his mind, with some surprise, and stopped walking.

Wang Dong said, "I'll go back to my dorm first, you guys chat." After saying that, he left first.

Huo Yuhao approached He Caitou, looking at him as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and asked, "Senior Brother He, what's wrong?"

He Caitou looked up at the sky, and the honest look on his face gradually changed into a solemn one. The confusion in his eyes also gradually disappeared, and a kind of depth that Huo Yuhao had never seen before slowly appeared.

At this moment, he seemed to have completely transformed into someone else. His demeanor changed so drastically that Huo Yuhao could hardly recognize him.

Genichiro? !

Huo Yuhao subconsciously swallowed. He had to admit that the bitter and resentful aura on He Caitou at this moment was not much different from that of Genichiro back then. As the one who killed him the most times during that journey, Huo Yuhao was too familiar with Genichiro's aura.

Huo Yuhao could never forget that spirit of Ashina, who, despite the overwhelming tide of events and the fact that no amount of resistance could withstand the Inner Court's offensive, still burned their own blood and flesh, even at the cost of breaking all taboos, in order to pull Ashina back from the brink of death.

Ashina, this country, is everything to me.

So, no matter how many times, until I kill you.

Fortunately, this was just an illusion. He Caitou was not Genichiro, and at this moment, the relationship between He Caitou and himself was not the same as the tense relationship between himself and Genichiro, where neither could back down an inch.

One was willing to give everything to protect Ashina, the land that gave birth to him, and the land his grandfather had built. The other was willing to cross mountains of knives and seas of fire to seek the possibility of severing immortality, all for the sake of a promise. Even though they respected each other, they could only kill each other without mercy.

He Caitou looked at Huo Yuhao again, and at this moment, there seemed to be something else in his eyes besides their profundity.

"Yuhao, you know what? I really admire your talent."

Over the next period of time, He Caitou recounted the Extreme Individual Soldier Project, and also explained his purpose for participating in Extreme Individual Soldier Project.

"Yuhao, whether I joined the Extreme Individual Soldier Project or the Tang Clan, I had my own selfish reasons, which was that I hoped to seize every opportunity that could make me stronger."

"To become stronger, to become stronger by any means necessary, that is my goal. If I hadn't joined Shrek Academy, if Teacher Fan Yu hadn't adopted me and treated me like his own son, I might have even chosen to embark on the path of an evil soul master."

Upon hearing He Caitou's words, Huo Yuhao felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Brother He, you don't happen to have a treasure similar to the Transformation of the Jade, or possess a strange ability like the Thunder of the Basara, do you?

"Deep in my heart, there lies a hatred I can never forget."

He Caitou's words made Huo Yuhao's expression gradually become serious.

"I am a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire. Only in the Sun Moon Empire would someone have such a dark complexion as mine. Moreover, I am a member of the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, the nephew of the current emperor."

He Caitou slowly revealed his background and hatred, which surprised Huo Yuhao. As He Caitou recounted his story, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a sense of grief and indignation.

As He Caitou recounted his story, his eyes turned bloodshot, his fists clenched tightly, and his once honest face became contorted with rage. His hatred had reached its peak.

"I can't avenge this blood feud on my own. Are you willing to help me as much as possible, ensuring your safety and doing what you can? In return, I'm willing to do everything I can to help you on your path to growth. I'm sorry, Yuhao, I really don't have anything else to offer you."

At this point, a look of unease appeared on He Caitou's face.

"I promise you, with my older brother."

Huo Yuhao's words were crisp and concise, leaving He Caitou stunned on the spot.

"What?!"
