Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

And what about the others during this farce between the two? They just watched silently.

However, Dai Huabin, who was very self-assured, only felt a little uncomfortable.

Of course, it wasn't that he was uncomfortable with this farce, but rather that he felt a vague sense of familiarity with the blue-haired boy.

It was as if he had seen it somewhere before, which made him subconsciously think of the wanted poster that the Star Luo Empire once issued.

A young man who was once associated with a Title Douluo, an evil soul master, experienced what was like the end of the world at the Duke's mansion.

The strongest Contra-level being was instantly killed.

It was precisely because of a blue-haired boy.

However, Huo Yuhao has changed too much. The only thing that seems to resemble him from before is his eyes.

Furthermore, since the other party was from the Sun Moon Empire, he couldn't confirm their identity at first glance.

But once the idea came to him, he seemed unable to resist it.

He plans to revisit what happened back then.

On the other side, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but ask Huo Yuhao another question.

"Yuhao, their expressions just now seemed a bit off."

"After all, they are our biggest rival, and haven't you heard the rumors?"

Seeing that Meng Hongchen seemed to have noticed something, Huo Yuhao quickly changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, all three of them turned their gazes to Huo Yuhao, who then spoke in a serious tone.

"I just heard the people at the front desk say that Shrek Academy seems to have only sent ten people this time, but usually they send fourteen. Either the reserve team is short of people, or the main team is short of people."

This statement instantly sparked the discussion among the three of them.

As Huo Yuhao strolled through Xingluo City, a complex expression flickered in his eyes.

When I first came here or passed by, my own wanted poster was still hanging on the wall.

Based on his investigations over the years, the matter was eventually brought to a definitive conclusion.

For the sake of reputation, the official statement was that the evil spirit master had launched a surprise attack on the Duke's mansion that day.

I was once framed as a villain who chose to betray his country for personal gain.

After all, it's too bizarre for a teenager who has just awakened his martial soul to instantly defeat a Soul Douluo; the former is clearly more likely.

As the years passed, the reason why that arrest warrant gradually disappeared was quite simple.

Even Duke Dai Hao of Xingluo himself found it hard to believe.

Moreover, the matter is now in the past, and Xingluo City has strengthened its defenses.

Most importantly, even after the lakeside renovation, this still represents a disgrace to the Star Luo Duke's Mansion, since it involves collusion with evil spirit masters.

Even if it's just a servant in the household, this would still bring shame to the Star Luo Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, in the absence of any news, quietly taking it down is naturally the best option.

Whether it's to preserve the Star Luo Empire or to save face for the Duke's mansion, this is something that must be done.

The reason why Huo Yuhao had no worries when he returned was because he had changed.

He was also confident that the chances of the other person recognizing him were almost zero, unless he gave them a hint.

I only revealed my identity at the very last moment.

On the other hand, Dai Huabin, harboring this doubt, dug out the original arrest warrant.

I felt that the wanted poster and the people from the Sun Moon Empire I had met were somewhat similar, and after thinking about it, it seemed that only their eyes were the most similar.

He became even more convinced of the latter, as his mother and he had said, that the other party was involved with an evil spirit master.

Under these circumstances, after a brief period of hesitation, Dai Huabin also sent someone to follow Huo Yuhao and see if he could find any clues.

After all, if the other party really had ties with evil spirit masters, or if they were actually from the Star Luo Duke's Mansion but had now joined the Sun Moon Empire.

He still wanted to resolve the matter, after all, it was ultimately a disgrace to the Duke's mansion.

But the crucial point is that they haven't found any clues yet, or rather, they haven't even started taking action.

Huo Yuhao, who was cultivating, keenly sensed the abnormality.

Using his mental strength, he easily dealt with those who were tracking him using the Heavenly Dream technique.

He then had Brother Tianmeng use soul-searching techniques to get these people to confess on their own.

When Huo Yuhao heard that the person behind the scenes was none other than Dai Huabin, he couldn't help but sneer.

Scenes from his past life kept replaying in his mind, and he couldn't help but mutter them to himself.

"Since you're courting death, then don't blame me."

For Huo Yuhao, this pursuit reminded him of the chase he endured in Star Luo City in his previous life. Even after revealing his potential, he hadn't gotten justice then. This time, he would seek justice for himself.

While remaining hidden, Huo Yuhao quickly confirmed Dai Huabin's room number through the front desk.

Tianmeng used a simulation to directly open the other party's door.

Looking at Dai Huabin, who seemed to be sleeping soundly.

As the killing intent surged in Huo Yuhao's eyes, the Ice Emperor within his spiritual sea seemed to be urging him on as well.

"Yuhao, let's take this guy down."

But this murderous intent was ultimately suppressed by reason.

He knew very well what kind of storm the murder of the Duke of Xingluo's second son in Xingluo City would cause.

He couldn't risk revealing even the slightest clue.

However, despite this, Huo Yuhao still had Ice Emperor use some tricks on Dai Huabin.

Huo Yuhao then infused a wisp of his ultimate ice soul power into the other's body.

Normally, it wouldn't react at all, but just before Huo Yuhao was about to leave, this wisp of soul power would truly reveal its domineering nature.

Chapter 139 The Competition Begins

This approach caused Hyotei to grumble somewhat in dissatisfaction.

"Yuhao, I don't think we need to be afraid of him at all. Let's all go together. What if the whole Star Luo City comes?"

Seeing Hyotei's loud and boisterous appearance, Tenmu quickly spoke up to persuade them.

"Hehe, my Bingbing is the best, but Bingbing, you should think about Xiaoyuhao. Don't forget that we don't just want to take down these guys, we also have our ultimate goal."

These words gradually extinguished the anger that had been burning within Bingdi. However, he still felt a pang of resentment; after all, the way the other party had bullied Huo Yuhao in the past made him want to attack immediately just by hearing it. Yet, Yuhao was able to suppress that hatred.

Yes, I don't quite understand, but Tianmeng understands very well.

Even though Huo Yuhao has changed in this life, and even though he has achieved a lot now.

He might be qualified to challenge the Duke's mansion for revenge, but that would ultimately rely on the power of outsiders. What Yuhao wanted was to take revenge using his own strength, and most importantly, the God King was still watching from above.

"Yuhao, you..."

Tianmeng stammered, as if trying to say something. Huo Yuhao, however, just chuckled, a smile that seemed to convey a sense of relief.

"Hyotei Tenmeng, don't try to comfort me. I've already done enough stupid things in my past life. In this life, I won't let you take unnecessary risks with me again."

After letting out a long sigh, Huo Yuhao gave Dai Huabin one last cold glare before leaving.

He knew very well that even the slightest bit of power from the Ice Emperor could be enough to obliterate Dai Huabin, who was standing before him. Yet, he did not do so directly.

This hatred, this deep-seated blood feud, must ultimately be settled by myself.

Right now, even leaving Star Luo City is just a small lesson in Huo Yuhao's eyes. And this small lesson has caused Dai Huabin, supposedly a prodigy, to fall into the mire...

The next day, when Dai Huabin woke up, he felt a sudden chill all over his body for some unknown reason.

The feeling was like being naked in the far north, but that feeling only lasted for a moment.

Dai Huabin checked himself over and over but couldn't find anything wrong, but he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

What's wrong with me?

Although he muttered to himself, after the examination revealed nothing, Dai Huabin ultimately didn't suspect anything too much.

Or perhaps it was that confidence at play: after all, he was now in Star Luo City, the son of the Duke's mansion, and currently the most talented one.

This was essentially his own territory, and he didn't believe, or perhaps out of habit, that anyone would dare to attack him here.

However, even as he stepped out the door, he seemed to still be thinking about that matter: whether the person from the Sun Moon Empire had ever been involved with an evil spirit master.

However, this idea was not quickly dispelled, because today was the start of the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament.

At this moment, most of the Soul Master academies were heading in that direction under the guidance of their representatives, but Wang Yan's expression was somewhat absent-minded.

All of this stemmed from nothing else, but from the fact that when he woke up in the early morning, he was surprised to see Xuanzi beside him.

When he pressed for an answer with some expectation, Xuanzi awkwardly avoided the topic.

After all, it took him a lot of effort just to get this information out of the Poseidon Pavilion without punishing him.

There's no time to talk about calling over some more backup players.

For Wang Yan, this news was like a bolt from the blue.

After all, relying solely on Shrek's reserve team right now could pose a significant risk in the qualifiers and even the subsequent knockout rounds.

Shrek Academy currently boasts a glorious legacy spanning millennia.

If the team were to falter under his leadership, despite all the reasons, Wang Yan would still feel somewhat guilty.

But for Xuanzi, this was something that didn't mean much.

After all, Shrek isn't saying they'll die if they lose this championship or anything like that.

During his journey, Wang Yan was tormented, wondering whether he should go to Shrek Academy privately or send someone to request reinforcements.

Caught in this internal struggle, he and the team leaders from various colleges arrived in the capital first, drawing lots based on the competition number plates they received during registration.

At this point, the drawing ceremony was complete, and officials from the Star Luo Empire had tallied the results. Once the competition order was announced, the final preparations for the major tournament would be finished.

As they prepared to enter, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's team members stood behind Shrek Academy. This made it easier for them to observe the Shrek Academy students in front of them.
