Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

After looking around the hall, Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on Karl, and he was quite surprised to see the handsome face revealed under the hood.

Is this Zhongli Wu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult?

It doesn't look evil at all!

Although Karl was focused on carving, he was also watching Huo Yuhao and was quite pleased with his surprise.

He was most satisfied with this body, especially this pretty face; his father's taste was still quite impressive.

If you show this face, even if you say you're a bad guy, no one will believe you.

"Do you think my sculpture looks like the real thing?"

After finishing the stone carving in no time, Karl waved it at Huo Yuhao, who was quite puzzled.

It was a statue of a giant dragon, completely black and lifelike, but he had no interest in it and didn't understand why the other party would ask him this.

"You don't seem to have seen the Dragon Emperor Douluo's Martial Soul True Form, but you must know him, otherwise he wouldn't have been watching you from a distance, or rather, it was a form of protection."

"Could you tell me your identity? As far as I know, there seems to be no one named you at Shrek Academy, or perhaps your current appearance is fake?"

Karl placed the black dragon statue on the table, crossed his hands and rested his chin on them, revealing his hand directly.

He had neither the time nor the inclination to play house with this little guy; a direct confrontation would be far more efficient.

As expected, these words caused Huo Yuhao's pupils to shrink sharply, realizing that he had given himself away and was exposed to Elder Long's secret protection.

Although it's unclear how the other party knew this, since they've mentioned it, they must have discovered it, and there's no point in making excuses now.

"I cannot reveal my specific identity; I am here to make a deal with you."

After thinking for a while, Huo Yuhao changed his strategy.

While revealing his identity would certainly save him from death, he would most likely be expelled from Death Song Academy, which would prevent him from learning the new Soul Guidance System.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; don't miss it.

"To trade with me requires qualifications. Do you have them, young man?"

Karl smiled, waiting for Huo Yuhao to continue, while preparing to unleash a look of shock.

Is that enough?

Huo Yuhao decisively manifested the Lotus Lantern. Although he could not reveal his relationship with his uncle, revealing a little bit could still serve as a deterrent.

When he saw that Huo Yuhao indeed took out the Lotus Lantern as proof of his qualification, Karl's expression froze, his eyes revealing shock and doubt.

"Since it involves Father, you are naturally qualified. But do you have any bargaining chips that can tempt me?"

Karl gave Huo Yuhao a meaningful look, but instead of pressing him for his identity, he asked about the chips Huo Yuhao held.

He only needed a plausible excuse to obtain the necromancy inheritance from Huo Yuhao, so that he could improve the Underworld Secret Realm and use it to deceive the Abyss Saint King and the God Realm. He didn't want to waste time fighting Huo Yuhao with wits and courage.

"I possess a completely new power that is well-suited for Deathsong Academy."

As expected, Huo Yuhao used necromancy and even summoned a skeleton warrior on the spot.

This is an undead creature from the undead plane of Electrox, considered one of the lowest levels.

At the same time, necromancy is the only thing he currently possesses that he can use as a bargaining chip, and the other party will definitely be interested in it.

"I accept this offer!"

Karl walked around the desk, looked at the skeleton warrior, nodded in satisfaction, and then his gaze fell on the boy again.

What do you want?

"The new Soul Guidance System!"

Huo Yuhao didn't hide anything; he knew he couldn't hide it now anyway, and the other party might have already guessed it.

"The deal was struck, but the new Soul Guidance System has its own limitations and is a problem of its own."

I can teach you, and I won't hold back, but whether you learn it or not is up to you.

He readily agreed to the deal, but Carl also outlined the limitations.

Teaching the new soul guidance system is fine, but whether Huo Yuhao can learn it is another matter entirely.

Me too.

Without backing down, Huo Yuhao replied that he was very confident in himself and that as long as Karl taught him without reservation, he would definitely be able to learn it.

"I like equivalent exchange; if you want to learn as much as you want, you have to offer an equivalent amount of knowledge."

The Underworld will arrange accommodation for you. Come to me every afternoon at four o'clock, and I will teach you for one hour.

After saying that, Karl continued to study the skeleton warrior, seemingly genuinely interested in it.

With a flicker in his eyes, Huo Yuhao said nothing more, turned and left the main hall. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he stepped out of the door, his back already covered in cold sweat.

"Ji Juechen went to Shrek Academy because of your instigation?"

The Netherworld Douluo, who had been waiting outside, suddenly spoke. He had been there the whole time and had heard the conversation inside. He hadn't expected that this person was from Shrek Academy, and he even had some idea of ​​his identity.

There are few people as outstanding as that at Shrek Academy, and even fewer who are skilled in espionage and have sufficient expertise in the Soul Guidance System. Only that Spirit Eye boy is one of them.

That spirit-eyed youth went to the Sun Moon Soul Master Academy to steal secrets last time, and even emptied the Mingde Hall, which angered the Sun Moon Empire so much that they retaliated against Shrek Academy and bombed Shrek City into ruins.

“That wasn’t seduction, it was Brother Juechen’s choice.”

Huo Yuhao knew that his identity had been exposed, so he did not deny it.

He did have contact with Ji Juechen during that period, and used the sword intent of Ice Sorrow as bait to lure Ji Juechen to Shrek Academy, where he is now a member of the Tang Sect, but that was by no means a seduction.

"You are leading him to a dead end."

His gaze grew even colder, and the Netherworld Douluo felt a strong aversion to him.

He had long had his eye on Ji Juechen, especially after obtaining the sword dao inheritance from the sect leader ten thousand years ago. If he wanted to find a successor, Ji Juechen would be the best choice.

Unfortunately, he was busy assisting the leader in reforms and didn't pay much attention to the situation. By the time he received the news, Ji Juechen had already gone to Shrek Academy, which made him extremely regretful and unhappy.

"You want to kill him?"

Huo Yuhao met the man's gaze without flinching; he was equally dissatisfied with this person, having been unhappy since being forced to come along.

This mentality of destroying what he couldn't have made him even more dissatisfied and contemptuous.

“We’re not that bored. As long as he doesn’t become an enemy and come looking for trouble, we won’t care about a nobody like him. What we said before was just a pity that a promising swordsman was wasted by you.”

Shaking his head, the Netherworld Douluo walked to the side and gave a warning.

"Since you've made a deal with the leader, then behave yourself and don't have any ulterior motives. Otherwise, the wrath of Death Song Academy is something you and Shrek Academy can't withstand. Even if you hide deep underground, it won't help. We have plenty of ways to completely destroy you."

I'll keep an eye on you!

He had heard about the boy's behavior at Mingde Hall and, not wanting him to cause trouble at Death Song Academy, a necessary warning was indispensable.

Huo Yuhao, feeling threatened, was even more dissatisfied and angry, but he did not show it. Obtaining the new soul guidance system was the priority, and he did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

The Netherworld Douluo arranged a dormitory for Huo Yuhao right next to his own residence, making it convenient to keep an eye on him at any time.

He wouldn't let his guard down around this troublesome little guy, and that would be his main task going forward.

Huo Yuhao saw through the Netherworld Douluo's intentions. Although he was annoyed and regretful, he could only endure it.

I had hoped to sneak in and gather information about the Death Song Academy, especially to see what my uncle's purpose was in arranging for them to come and establish the academy. Now it seems that's not going to happen.

He didn't think his little tricks could fool a Super Douluo, especially one who had embarked on the path of swordsmanship.

"Could it be that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has truly preserved a sword system from ten thousand years ago?"

Sitting on his bed in the dormitory, Huo Yuhao pondered quietly.

He sensed an extremely strong sword intent from the Netherworld Douluo, which was many times stronger than Ji Juechen's and comparable to the sword intent on Ice Sorrow.

This is definitely not normal. Considering that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School suddenly pledged allegiance to the Super God Academy, many things become quite easy to guess.

Senior Brother Yan had previously guessed that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School might have preserved a cultivation system from ten thousand years ago. This was also confirmed by the fact that the soul power of those who had been dispersed to the four great empires was exactly the same as that of the Nine-Colored Goddess from ten thousand years ago.

Clearly, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School preserved its original heritage in some way and evaded the Sea God's cleansing until last time when it took it to seek refuge with the Super God Academy.

My uncle was already incredibly powerful, and now he has obtained the swordsmanship inheritance from ten thousand years ago, which is equivalent to gaining the accumulation of two eras, so he will inevitably become even more powerful.

This made him worry. Compared to his uncle, whom he had only met twice, he felt a greater sense of belonging to Shrek and even regarded it as his own home. There, he had friends and a lover. He would never allow Shrek to be hurt again.

"Let's master the new Soul Guidance System first, and we can talk about the rest later."

After quickly calming down, Huo Yuhao pondered his upcoming study plan and the deal.

Although he decided to offer the necromancy system in the trade, he did not want to offer it all, as that would inevitably make Deathsong Academy and his uncle's side stronger, which would exacerbate the conflict between their world and the divine realm. Once a war of gods broke out, it would surely cause widespread suffering.

Therefore, you have to be selective in your transactions, but you have to be reasonable enough so that the other person doesn't notice.

Chapter 769 Melting the Moon

"Kids are becoming spies? Shrek Academy is running out of talent."

Karl took the skeleton warrior into the Underworld Secret Realm and made a sarcastic remark.

He acknowledged that Huo Yuhao was outstanding, far more so than other children his age, but he was still young and lacked life experience; he was mentally immature and not a qualified spy.

The reason he revealed his identity earlier was to warn the kid not to cause trouble, to focus on completing his studies and trading, and then to go home.

It's not that I'm afraid I can't prevent it, but rather that if it really happens, how to deal with it is a difficult problem.

After all, that was Father's most important pawn, and it wouldn't be good to kill it directly, so the only option was to make it clear.

Unfortunately, he was too young and didn't understand what a system meant. The skeleton warrior he sent out alone could already represent the foundation of necromancy. Once that foundation was established, it would only take a little time to deduce the entire necromancy system.

However, according to Father's plan, we need to continue to give that kid a boost and increase his potential so that we can entice the God Realm to invest more, such as by sending him some materials to help Junior Sister upgrade Ice Sorrow.

"Thinking you can beat us just by remote control is wishful thinking."

With a disdainful sneer, Karl opened the spatial portal and entered the secret realm of the underworld.

He had studied the information his father had given him from ten thousand years ago. The reason he was able to outwit the gods in the divine realm was mainly because the gods in the divine realm initially only remotely controlled the layout and could not exchange information in a timely manner. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were completely clueless about this side.

There's no information equivalence between them; it would be a miracle if they could outsmart each other.

Upon entering the underworld space, they discovered that the skeleton warrior had already been dismantled by the Holy Emperor's clone, and the undead magic within it had been separated.

"A very interesting power."

The Holy Emperor's avatar commented that this power has some merit, especially since this undead was brought from the Elex Undead Plane, representing the most primitive power of another world, and has extremely high research value.
