Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 80 Life Extension Magic

Encouraged by Jing Hongchen's gaze, Huo Yuhao felt uneasy. Would this obviously powerful old man accept his mental detection sharing?

If he refuses and instinctively retaliates, he will suffer a severe backlash.

However, the thought that this was Jing Hongchen's instruction dispelled Huo Yuhao's anxiety.

Jing Hongchen would definitely not do anything to him.

The Spirit Eye Martial Soul was activated, and the first white soul ring beneath his feet shone brightly.

Mental detection sharing is now available.

The powerful Confucius did not refuse his sharing, as if he had been prepared for it.

When Jing Hongchen arrived, he announced their arrival in the palace hall, and Kong Deming naturally noticed their arrival.

Having long heard of Huo Yuhao, Elder Kong deliberately relaxed and easily accepted Huo Yuhao's spiritual sharing.

With Huo Yuhao's assistance, Elder Kong inscribed the magic array even faster, and before Huo Yuhao and Huo Yuhao could wait long, Elder Kong finished carving.

Although he had heard of Huo Yuhao's soul skill before, when Kong Lao first experienced it, he was just as shocked as the other soul masters. There was no way that there was such a skill in the world that was so suitable for soul masters!

The soul skills that Tianmeng bestowed upon Huo Yuhao were praised even by the number one soul master on the continent, who marveled at his good fortune.

Kong Deming put down the metal in his hand and turned to look at the two of them.

"You must be Yuhao."

Kong Deming, who held a high position of power, spoke with unexpected gentleness, which somewhat overlapped with Jing Hongchen's description of him as someone who was happy because the common people liked him.

"Master Kong, I am Huo Yuhao. Thank you for your concern."

Huo Yuhao replied very politely.

"Hehe, I've heard of you for a long time, but I've never met you. Now that I see you, you do have the air of a young hero."

After scrutinizing Huo Yuhao for a moment, Kong Deming praised him.

After three months of deep meditation, Huo Yuhao's breathing became steady and his temperament reserved. Even ordinary people would feel a sense of goodwill towards him at first glance, and Master Kong was generous with his praise.

"Thank you for the compliment, Master Kong. I am unworthy of it."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's humble attitude, Kong Deming looked at him with increasing satisfaction.

He really liked this kind of calm and composed child.

"The purpose of inviting you here today has already been explained to you by the Master of the Red Dust Hall, hasn't it?"

Kong Deming got straight to the point.

"The dean mentioned that Yuhao has prepared the life-extending magic, but does Elder Kong need it?"

Huo Yuhao was naturally puzzled when he saw that Elder Kong's complexion was rosy and he didn't seem to need to prolong his life.

"It's not me. I'm 150 years old this year. Title Douluos have a longer lifespan, so I'm not in such a hurry to prolong my life. The one who wants to prolong his life is someone else, His Majesty the Emperor of my Sun Moon Empire."

"Your Majesty the Emperor?"

Huo Yuhao exclaimed in surprise.

Before he came, he had thought that it might be a member of the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, but he never expected that it would be the emperor.

Is the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire nearing the end of his life?

No wonder Jing Hongchen was in such a hurry. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Mingde Hall are royal properties, and Jing Hongchen directly obeys the emperor. That's why she tried every means to prolong his life.

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized.

"That's right. The empire is in turmoil, with evil spirit masters appearing and strategic materials flowing out. This is probably because His Majesty's birthday is approaching, and the princes who want to vie for the throne are doing this in order to seek external help."

Speaking of this matter, Master Kong seemed rather helpless.

Every change of the throne always brings a bloody storm, especially when the crown prince has a physical defect.

"Yuhao will do his best."

At this point, Huo Yuhao finally understood why the evil soul masters had established a base in the Dark Elf Forest—it turned out that they had support from within the empire.

Thinking of the endless stream of dead souls, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of anger that was hard to suppress. In order to seize power, he had actually disregarded the lives of countless civilians to support the evil soul masters.

Huo Yuhao absolutely did not want to see such a thing happen again.

When Kong Deming saw that Huo Yuhao could not suppress his anger at the mention of evil soul masters, he knew that the boy was of good character.

"If His Majesty were in good health, these matters would naturally be handled. Yuhao, does your life-extending magic really require no preparation?"

"Yes, Elder Kong, before I go to see His Majesty, let me demonstrate here first. Life magic only requires my Blade of the Watcher of Life as a medium."

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

Since they were going to see His Majesty the Emperor, Huo Yuhao suggested that they demonstrate it first, as he remembered that people were very cautious about matters concerning the Emperor.

Kong Deming nodded in agreement. It would be best if he could demonstrate it before going to see His Majesty.

With Kong Deming's consent, Huo Yuhao began preparations.

He took the Blade of the Living Beings from the Eye of the Living Beings, and just like the time Jing Hongchen had seen it, a vibrant green light instantly filled the entire room.

When the emerald light shone on Kong Deming, he was certain that Huo Yuhao's words were absolutely true. If such abundant vitality could not prolong the life of a person whose lifespan was about to end, then there was nothing else in the world that could save him.

Huo Yuhao walked up to Jing Hongchen with the Blade of Life Guardian in his hand, his face solemn. He was going to demonstrate to Jing Hongchen, who had shown him great favor since he was admitted to the hospital. He wanted to take this opportunity to repay him.

Jing Hongchen offered no resistance and readily accepted the role of Huo Yuhao's demonstration subject.

Huo Yuhao aimed the Blade of Lifeguard at Jing Hongchen, closed his eyes, and began to chant the magic incantation that Electrolux had taught him.

As Huo Yuhao chanted, the Blade of Guardian of Life shone with a brilliant green light. Huo Yuhao released his hand, and it quietly floated in the air.

Huo Yuhao finally finished chanting the long incantation, and the Blade of Life Guardian split into two life-giving rays, one aimed at Jing Hongchen's heart and the other at his forehead.

After finishing his chant, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, and two beams of light quickly flew toward their target, entering Jing Hongchen's body.

Struck by the radiance of life, Jing Hongchen felt his spirit soar into the sky, experiencing a kind of spiritual sublimation that made him extremely comfortable.

After a short while, Jing Hongchen recovered, but he was still immersed in the feeling of sublimation. The moment he was struck by the radiance of life was definitely the most beautiful feeling in his life.

He wanted to experience it ten more times.

Unfortunately, this kind of magic can only be used once in a person's life, and it generally extends life for about five to ten years. Jing Hongchen probably won't be able to experience it again.

Kong Deming had already seen the answer he hoped for in Jing Hongchen's expression: the life-extending magic worked!

After their initial shock, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen exchanged a glance and, without further hesitation, immediately led Huo Yuhao to the emperor's palace.

With Confucius in charge, no one dared to stop them this time.
