Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 509 Revisiting an Old haunt (10,000 words per day)

After flying all the way to Shrek City with Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao left alone and flew towards the far north.

He was short on time, so he could only talk about going back to the academy another time.

Once I go back to school, my mom and teachers will have to visit me, and my two good buddies, Jiechu and Ningge, can't just leave without inviting me out for a meal. Since I've been to both places, I'll have to make a trip to Tangmen too.

It wasn't that Huo Yuhao didn't want to go back, it's just that his time was really tight, so tight that he wished he could divide himself into several parts.

This is based on the fact that he already has a team, and he also has Nana, the chosen worker, to help him with internal affairs. Otherwise, Huo Yuhao might not even be able to find time to go on vacation to Haotian Sect with Wang Dong.

In addition, Huo Yuhao was also very concerned about the last words the Azure Bull Python said before parting ways.

"Never mind if you don't have one. Go on, I'm going back to have a drink with my second brother. There are more than one top-tier expert in Shrek Academy, so I don't need to worry about anything, big or small."

Within Shrek Academy, besides Elder Mu, who else can be considered a top-tier expert?

Huo Yuhao understood that there must be some extremely important clue in Tianqing Niu Mang's words, but since Tianqing Niu Mang was reassured about Wang Dong returning to the academy, he figured he didn't need to worry too much about this matter for the time being.

There was more than one top-tier expert.

Huo Yuhao pondered these words repeatedly in his mind.

In less than half a day, Huo Yuhao had already arrived at the location of the Frozen Forest. Once he got there, he was not far from the far north.

Unlike his past self, who was trudging along cautiously, he was now full of pride and no longer the same as before, who was always bundled up and needed the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm to venture into the far north.

A cold wind howled, its biting chill sharp as a knife, but to Huo Yuhao, it was merely a gentle breeze brushing his cheek. The soul power thrusters behind him spewed forth blazing flames, propelling Huo Yuhao soaring through the sky above the frozen forest.

Returning to a familiar place, one finds a vastly different level of strength and undergoes a complete transformation. This feeling is somewhat similar to the joy of returning home in wealth and honor.

After flying through the frozen forest until all that remained was a vast expanse of white snow, where even the trees had vanished, Huo Yuhao slowly descended.

Yes, their strength has increased considerably, but they still need to keep a low profile. Flying over the far north is still risky, such as being hit by a snowball the size of a millstone from a passing Titan Snow Demon.

He traversed the vast snowfield, yet the snow beneath his feet made not a sound.

The arduous journey of the past is now just a memory for him; he easily crossed the snowfields and deep icy valleys that once deterred him.

No longer needing skis, Huo Yuhao could traverse snow-covered mountains at incredible speeds, simply by staying close to the ground.

Soon, Huo Yuhao arrived at the familiar cave. He had once fallen into a crevice in the cave and wandered around in the dark for a long time. Looking at the deep cave entrance, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of inexplicable emotion.

This time, however, Huo Yuhao didn't need to continue traversing the cave's fissures; he knew of another entrance.

After climbing around the snow-capped mountain to its leeward side, Huo Yuhao was struck by the beautiful scene of thousands of miles of ice and snow, but the intense sunlight reflecting off the snowfield stung his eyes. Fortunately, he soon found the familiar cave entrance.

Braving the cold wind, Huo Yuhao strode forward. Before his eyes was a lush, blue-green meadow, where large patches of Coldheart Grass grew.

Sunlight streamed through a small hole in the ceiling, illuminating the grass and reflecting into the cave, giving the misty vapor inside a pale blue hue, creating a serene and ethereal atmosphere as if surrounded by a bluish glow.

Although several years have passed since Huo Yuhao left, this place remains the same as when he departed, as if time has stood still in this cave.

Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked at his destination: the skeleton of the giant three-legged ammonite.

Huo Yuhao reached out and stepped forward to stroke the shell of the three-legged ammonite. The cool and smooth texture of the ammonite's shell remained unchanged. Apart from the small chip that Huo Yuhao had left on it with the carving knife, the shell was still as smooth as a mirror and as delicate as porcelain, giving people a warm and jade-like feeling.

The undulating patterns, resembling tiny hills, are etched on the snail shell. These patterns are like fingerprints in nature, unique and rhythmic.

Huo Yuhao took out the giant starlight sapphire storage soul tool he brought from the Sun Moon Empire and poured his soul power into the giant three-legged ammonite remains in front of him.

Fortunately, without this giant starlight sapphire storage soul tool, a national treasure of the Sun Moon Empire, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have been able to take the other party away even with the Gate of the Dead. Its outer shell, reaching a height of fifty meters, was even several heads taller than the thirty-five-meter-tall Experiment Subject No. 1 of Mingde Hall.

Huo Yuhao could certainly open the Gate of the Dead very high and very large, but the Gate of the Dead does not have the effect of directly storing items into it. Trying to pull the remains of this giant three-legged ammonite into the Gate of the Dead would be no easier than pulling away a building.

Even if Huo Yuhao pulled out all the bone dragons from the Gate of the Dead and used them as mules temporarily, it would be unlikely to work.

In terms of pure strength, the Soul Beast race is the true gift. Even a Limit Douluo can only unleash a maximum force of 100,000 jin with his physical body alone, which is probably only enough to carry tens of tons of rare metal around.

But the remains of this three-legged ammonite in front of us weigh at least several hundred tons, and it's not impossible that they weigh a thousand tons. Such a size is barely acceptable even among top-tier ferocious beasts.

According to the records in the books of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, the Evil Eye Tyrant, who has been sleeping deep in the Demon Forest for many years, has an eyeball that is a hundred meters in diameter and tentacles that are two to three hundred meters long.

In this situation, even the physical strength of a Limit Douluo is insignificant.

Fortunately, the Soul Masters' Soul Skills are undiminished in their destructive power. With various assistance and buffs, they can unleash destructive power exceeding that of the Soul Beasts' innate talents. Otherwise, humans would really have no way to drive the Soul Beasts into the Soul Beast Forest.

A beam of blue light shot out from the dazzling surface of the star sapphire, radiating outwards in mid-air. A corresponding beam of light also shone from the massive three-legged ammonite remnant. The two beams of blue light collided in mid-air, instantly illuminating the entire enormous cavern with their brilliant blue hue.

The burst of blue light did not last long. When the light subsided, the gigantic three-legged ammonite remnant, which was fifty meters tall, was finally stored in Huo Yuhao's Starlight Sapphire Storage Soul Tool.
