Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 29 Light and Life Magic

As Huo Yuhao was terrified by the strange and powerful strength of the evil soul master, Ilex spoke in his mind:

"Yuhao, neither the giant worm nor the little scorpion's abilities are suitable for dealing with the kind of power you encountered in the arena today. They can only resist with brute force, but given your current cultivation level, your chances of winning against a high-level evil soul master are very low."

Tianmeng and Bingdi knew that this mysterious and powerful old man wouldn't speak without reason, and that their power, just as Elder Yi had said, was only suitable for fighting evil soul masters head-on. Judging from Yuhao's current cultivation level, it was indeed not suitable for dealing with them.

"Elder Ilex, what should I do?" Huo Yuhao noticed that Electrolux seemed to have something to say, so he asked.

"Hehe, I happened to have the title of 'Child of Light' in my previous life. Using the power of light to deal with this kind of Soul Master is quite appropriate," Ilex said softly.

After hearing Electrolux's words, Huo Yuhao and the other two were extremely shocked. If they remembered correctly, wasn't Electrolux's name the Necromancer Saint, the Undead Calamity Electrolux? From his name, it was clear that Electrolux's abilities were related to the undead, right? How could he have the title of Child of Light? Can death and light coexist in one person?

Seemingly sensing the three's confusion, Electrox continued, "I was originally the purest child of light, but later fell and became a despised messenger of death. By chance, I comprehended the true meaning of turning adversity into fortune. I can freely transform between the two attributes, and thus possess the authority of both death and light."

Yuhao, do not be shocked. The power of this world is inherently wondrous. I will bestow upon you the blessing of light, imbuing your attacks with a trace of luminous power. This will help you deal with those evil and powerful evil spirit masters. Even if you are weak, you are not without the power to resist.

"Once you've grown a bit more, I will also teach you my necromancy. This isn't some evil power, but pure death power. It's fundamentally different from the power wielded by the evil spirit masters you saw today."

Huo Yuhao could hardly believe the surprise that Elder Yi had given him. After witnessing the evil soul master pierce through Meng Hongchen's layers of protection today, a shadow had been cast over Huo Yuhao's heart; that power was simply too terrifying.

The surprise Elder Yi brought him completely dispelled the gloom and gave Huo Yuhao confidence. It sparked a thought in Huo Yuhao: perhaps I can use the power Elder Yi gave me to kill the evil soul master?

This thought flashed through Huo Yuhao's mind, but he grasped it firmly and fixed it in his heart. Meng Hongchen's injury made Huo Yuhao directly confront the damage that evil soul masters could inflict. If this weren't a competition, the three of them facing an evil soul master alone would likely have been killed.

At this point, a new bud sprouted in Huo Yuhao's heart, which was already overflowing with vengeance: to eliminate the evil soul master!

After casting the Blessing of Light on Huo Yuhao, Electrolux was slightly tired. His consciousness had only been nurtured in the Gold of Life for a short time, and his recovery was limited. Such a permanent blessing spell had consumed a considerable amount of his power, but he spoke again:

"Yuhao, although the little girl who was injured by the evil soul master today has her injuries under control, she has lost a lot of her life force. After her injuries heal, she will be in a period of weakness, and her lifespan will also be reduced."

"Will it affect his lifespan?" Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a little panicked. Meng Hongchen had taken good care of him since he entered the academy. Now, hearing that Meng Hongchen's lifespan would be shortened due to this injury, he was very worried.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's anxious expression, Tianmeng and Bingdi secretly chuckled, covering their mouths in their spiritual sea. Since Elder Yi had said so, there would naturally be a solution; Huo Yuhao wouldn't be worried for nothing. Sure enough, Electrolux continued:

"Yuhao, don't worry. With such a large piece of Life Gold guarding you, why are you worried about her life force? As long as we can guide some of the Life Gold's power into her body, not only will this injury be healed, but it will also bring her great benefits."

"Then let's go quickly, Elder Yi. You are truly amazing; you have a way to solve any problem you encounter." Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief and added with a hint of flattery.

"Are you really treating this old man like a laborer? I just finished casting a blessing spell, and now you want me to cast a life spell again. You're going to squeeze every last drop of value out of my pitiful spiritual energy." Electrolux protested when he saw Huo Yuhao still trying to order him around.

Huo Yuhao felt somewhat embarrassed by what Elder Yi said; his concern had clouded his judgment. He was so eager to restore Meng Hongchen's vitality that he momentarily overlooked the fact that Elder Yi was still very weak.

"Hmph! I, this old man, cannot cast magic, but you can. I will tell you the incantation, and after you learn it, use your own power to help her," Old Yi added, seeing Huo Yuhao's embarrassed state.

"Oh? You can do that? Then teach me quickly, Elder Yi," Huo Yuhao said hastily.

Elder Yi had no way to deal with Huo Yuhao in this state, so he immediately taught him the life magic.

After finishing his instruction, Electrolux said, "Yuhao, remember, you can heal the little girl, but you must not let anyone find out. The Gold of Life is extremely rare everywhere, and using it as a medium to cast life magic will greatly enhance your abilities."

Therefore, there will be no shortage of people who crave it; the world will never lack those who possess vast resources but are nearing the end of their lives. If they discover the wondrous uses of the Gold of Life, your troubles will be endless.

Huo Yuhao sensed the gravity in Electrolux's voice. He was still very young, with a long life ahead of him, and couldn't imagine the yearning for life in those nearing their end. However, although Huo Yuhao had never met him, it didn't stop him from taking Electrolux's words as gospel.

However, Electrolux's next words left him somewhat puzzled.

"However, even the most precious treasures will remain unused if they cannot be put to some use. And you can't be too rigid in your approach. In the future, when you encounter situations where you're willing to exchange something you're satisfied with for the conditions to prolong your life, you don't have to adhere to this rule. Exchanging for more resources is also a good thing, understand, Yuhao?"

"Yes, Elder Yi." Huo Yuhao agreed, secretly marveling at Elder Yi's insight, which was indeed far beyond his own. A dying man, if he could prolong his life, would be willing to give up something incredibly valuable. To have such a deal even once was a huge win for him!

After their conversation, Huo Yuhao secretly slipped into Meng Hongchen's room. It was late at night, and everyone had gone home to rest. Meng Hongchen was still unconscious, with only a hotel nurse watching over her, who was now asleep.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Unnoticed, Huo Yuhao quickly completed the life-extending magic, and Meng Hongchen's pale face regained its rosy hue. It was clear from her complexion that she was much better.

After finishing everything, just as Huo Yuhao was about to sneak out, the door suddenly opened.
