Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

"You're my assistant, so of course I'll let you take pictures of me when it's appropriate. You can take pictures of me however you like at other times," Huo Yuhao said.

"When did I become your assistant!" Wang Dong stomped his foot angrily, but still held the camera properly.

Her eyes darted around, then she looked at Huo Yuhao and pulled him over.

Huo Yuhao tilted his body, and the two heads bumped together.

With a click,

Wang Dong raised his camera and took a picture.

A photo of the two of them together has surfaced.

Wang Dong happily took the photo and carefully put it away.

"This thing is really great." She hung the camera on her body, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

Seeing her silly grin, Huo Yuhao shrugged and commented that she still needed to read more books.

………………

After school in the evening,

Teaching building

The sound of a flute drifted from the classroom, which should have been empty.

“Listen, there really is the sound of a flute, right?” Wang Dong said, as if to say, “You still don’t believe me?”

"You can't judge based on just the sound. Let's go see for ourselves." Huo Yuhao said, giving Wang Dong a push and leading her to the classroom door.

Looking at the dimly lit classroom doorway at night, where everything was pitch black and nothing could be seen inside, and as she approached, the melodious sound of the flute indeed caused her soul power to freeze, which was extremely eerie.

"Really...do you really want me to open the door?" Wang Dong asked, trembling as he gripped the camera in front of his chest.

"The unknown is terrifying, especially when it's been covered up by everyone. So, let's explore, haha!" Huo Yuhao patted Wang Dong on the back again.

"Whoo~"

Wang Dong took a deep breath and suddenly opened the classroom door.

"Hey!!! Don't come any closer!"

The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, replaced by a clear, sharp female scream.

Wang Dong only saw a large cauldron smashing towards him from the front, with two spirit rings flashing behind it.

"This is a martial spirit, not a ghost, it's a human!" Wang Dong was overjoyed; if it was a human, she wouldn't be afraid anymore.

As the Goddess of Light butterfly spread its wings, it emitted a brilliant light, illuminating the entire classroom.

Wang Dong flapped his wings and flew away, dodging the giant cauldron and sending it crashing down on Huo Yuhao behind him.

"Hahaha, you've been laughing at me the whole time, now get smashed away, you bastard!" Wang Dong let out a tasteless laugh, then flew towards the attacker. "I'd like to see who's playing tricks and trying to scare people here!"

Huo Yuhao: "..."

The girl hiding behind them naturally wouldn't surrender easily. She summoned another long flute and played it melodiously. The music, imbued with soul power, slowed Wang Dong's movements once again.

This time, Wang Dong was no longer afraid. Although her movements were slow, the speed of the Goddess of Light Butterfly was not slow to begin with. She activated her soul power and burst out with even greater speed, rushing over and grabbing the girl.

Huo Yuhao, standing behind him, easily pressed down on the massive cauldron that was smashing down on him with a simple gesture. His specially tempered body made this a piece of cake.

The massive cauldron, which possessed the power of shock and suppression, was surprisingly docile in his hands.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't intentionally controlled the cauldron, and it had actually crashed down, the classroom would probably have been completely destroyed.

"Twin weapon spirits, and can be used simultaneously?" Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, and he became interested.

"Class...class monitor?"

The girl who had been captured by Wang Dong exclaimed in surprise.

"Who?" Wang Dong asked, puzzled, looking at the petite girl in green before him.

"She calls you class monitor, so she must be in your class. How can you, the class monitor, not even recognize your own classmates?" Huo Yuhao complained.

“Yeah, even if I’m nobody special, I should have remembered this by now after all these days. This is really going too far,” said the girl in green.

"I'm not good at remembering people, so you only remember her?" Wang Dong scratched his head and asked.

"I don't remember," Huo Yuhao said.

Although he has a photographic memory, he can't possibly remember so many memories forever. He will intentionally hide some messy and useless information and bring it up when needed.

"You two! My name is Xiao Xiao, remember it well!"

"Understood, Xiao Ding."

"Okay, Xiao Yan."

"Where did you go wrong! You did this on purpose!" Xiao Xiao said angrily.

She then squatted down dejectedly and cried out, "What's wrong with being short and having a low profile? Nobody can remember my name! I have twin martial souls, after all!"

"It's alright. Even an insect has its uses. You just haven't grown up yet. Besides, a loli figure is quite popular in some places," Huo Yuhao earnestly comforted him.

Do I need you to comfort me like that?!

Xiao Xiao stared wide-eyed as she looked up at Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, I feel like you're subtly criticizing me..." the giant worm in the sea of ​​consciousness said weakly.

Chapter 16 One Month of Development

"So what were you doing in the classroom so late at night?" Wang Dong asked.

Then she took a picture of the three of them with the camera on her chest. After getting the camera, she wanted to take pictures of everything she saw.

"I'm going to practice my second martial soul." Xiao Xiao chuckled and proudly summoned her two martial souls.

A tripod, a flute.

The cauldron is the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, with three legs and two handles, used to suppress souls and capture spirits.

The Xiao is a nine-phoenix-arrival-the-aristocrat Xiao, a long and narrow piece of jade, carved with phoenixes and dragons.

"Oh." Huo Yuhao and the other person reacted indifferently.

"Give me some response!" Xiao Xiao said angrily.

"Xiao Xiao, speaking of weapon spirits, I have a question I've always wanted to verify. Could you please help me with that?" Huo Yuhao asked.

As he spoke, he took out three small communicators and gave one to Xiao Xiao.

"I'll use this communicator as payment. Once connected to another device, you can make long-distance calls."

"Sure, sure. What do you want to verify?" The pretty young girl was a little shy; it was the first time someone had asked her for a favor.

"Let's see how far the weapon spirit can leave its original owner's body, and what the effects will be if it gets too far away," Huo Yuhao said calmly.

"Huh?" Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong were both puzzled.

………………

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore..." Xiao Xiao groaned softly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong pulled her Nine Phoenix Arrival Flute and ran for dozens of meters.

"As long as the original owner doesn't forcibly remove it, is the maximum distance a weapon spirit can leave the body thirty meters? No, it might also be related to cultivation level and the individual's abilities," Huo Yuhao pondered, stroking his chin.

"This is the first time I've seen anyone researching this..." Wang Dong complained, although she also found it quite interesting.

"If I forcibly grasp the weapon spirit, can it be taken back?" Huo Yuhao thought, and tightened his grip.

"Xiao Xiao, try to retract your martial soul," Huo Yuhao called out.

Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and with a wave of her hand, she retrieved her martial soul. The Nine Phoenixes' Auspicious Flute in Huo Yuhao's hand in the distance turned into pure soul power and dissipated.

"It has actually become pure soul power. It seems that only when the original owner intentionally drives it can soul power condense into a martial soul," Huo Yuhao analyzed.

Thank you.

After the experiment ended, Huo Yuhao thanked them again.

"It's nothing," Xiao Xiao said with a smile, holding the small communicator in her hand. She really liked these delicate little gadgets.

“Hmm… Yuhao…” Wang Dong thought for a moment, blinked and looked at Huo Yuhao, hesitating.

"I know, you'll get your share." Huo Yuhao had already prepared something for her.

"Yay, I'll treat you to dinner next time." Wang Dong happily took out the communicator and put his arm around Huo Yuhao's shoulder.

"Ah...bliss."

Xiao Xiao laughed strangely; she felt that just seeing this scene made the trip worthwhile.

"You bastard, what kind of gay stuff are you thinking about?" Huo Yuhao knew that Wang Dong was a woman, but in other people's eyes she was a man, so it was obvious what Xiao Xiao was thinking.

………………

A month passed quickly, and only two months remained until the Shrek Academy freshmen's entrance exam.

dormitory,

"Wow, time is passing so slowly," Wang Dong said, stretching.

She has made rapid progress in the past month, mainly because Huo Yuhao always writes and draws at night, making it difficult for her to sleep, so she has to get up to meditate and cultivate.

Moreover, under Huo Yuhao's tyranny, she was forced to read a lot of books about martial spirits and soul tools.

"Increasing knowledge is the best way to strengthen one's spirit and soul."

That's what the guy said. Just thinking about that face made Wang Dong puff out his cheeks in anger.

"Huh? This guy left so early today?" Wang Dong noticed that the bed next to him, with a missing corner, was empty; the person had already left.

………………

Shrek City

"Teacher Fanyu, our factory is doing very well, isn't it? I was right, wasn't I? We've already opened two more factories in just one month." Huo Yuhao said with a smile, looking at the factory that was emitting smoke.

"This is also thanks to the 'assembly line' you mentioned. It actually allows so many ordinary people without soul power to be responsible for repetitive tasks in the production of electric soul guide devices. The efficiency was incomparable to before," Fan Yu said happily.

He couldn't help but be happy. After listening to Huo Yuhao's advice and starting a factory, their income increased significantly, and the Soul Guidance Department had more and more research funds. They no longer had to be beholden to those Martial Soul Departments.
