Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

Shrek Academy has always valued the Martial Soul Department over the Soul Guidance Department. Now, the Martial Soul Department is overwhelmed with work because of the Star Luo Empire's reparations, while their Soul Guidance Department is thriving.

Moreover, he and Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department only own 10% of the shares in this electric soul guidance device factory, yet they have already made a fortune. Huo Yuhao, the big boss, will only make even more.

"Right now, from the Soul Masters at Shrek Academy to countless ordinary people in the city, everyone is using our electric Soul Conductor Lights, Induction Cookers, and Cameras. If we don't make money, who will?" Huo Yuhao laughed.

"I don't even know what to call you anymore. In name, you're my student, but you're also my big boss. Dean Qian Duoduo even wants to make you the dean of the Soul Guidance Department directly." Fan Yu chuckled and shook his head.

"Whatever, and the factory still needs to work harder; they're not even making as much as I do with my grilled fish," Huo Yuhao said.

He doesn't just sell electric soul guides; his grilled fish is practically the best-selling dish in Shrek City.

His automatic grilled fish vending machines are everywhere in the city, and dozens of agility-type Soul Masters deliver meals throughout the city every day.

Fan Yu broke out in a cold sweat. Huo Yuhao's grilled fish must have been drugged with some kind of magic potion. It became an instant hit in the city. Now, there's probably no one in Shrek City who hasn't tried his grilled fish.

Moreover, I heard that those agility-type Soul Masters are now sending not only grilled fish, but also other things. Huo Yuhao has also set up some kind of "company" and "logistics".

“It’s called ‘Huo’s Technology Company’ and ‘Mengtian Logistics’,” Huo Yuhao said with a wicked smile. “We’re going to turn it into an international logistics company soon. Shrek City, located at the center of three countries, is truly an excellent logistics hub. It’s a top-notch choice as a pilot project, hahaha.”

“Yuhao, you’ve already done very well. Don’t be too obsessed with making money. Your soul power level is already level 20, right? Let me take you hunting for soul rings when I have the chance,” Fanyu said.

To everyone's surprise, Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"No need, thank you, teacher. I already have a plan for my spirit rings." Huo Yuhao remained as confident as ever.

"Alright, you're a smart kid. Since you have a plan, I won't say anything more." Fan Yu wasn't stubborn. After all, with Huo Yuhao's current financial resources, he could probably hire a whole team of Soul Douluos to hunt Soul Beasts without any problem, so there was no need to worry about safety at all.

Huo Yuhao's plan was not to hunt soul beasts, but to obtain a second martial soul and condense a second soul ring.

After finishing the inspection of his own factory,

Huo Yuhao arrived at a room he had bought in the city. He flipped open the bed, revealing a magic circle underneath.

The magical textures and runes ripple with intense spatial fluctuations.

This is a spatial teleportation magic circle that Huo Yuhao drew himself.

Chapter 17 The Far North

The teleportation magic circle, emitting stable spatial fluctuations, glowed with a silver light in the dimly lit room.

"Haha, after buying so many space-type soul bones and soul tools for research, and with Elder Yi's magical knowledge, I've finally completed this short-distance teleportation magic array," Huo Yuhao laughed. He didn't know how many gold soul coins he had invested in completing this work.

"Unfortunately, that dormitory was too small to fit the magic circle, so we had to buy our own place in the city."

He stood in the center of the magic circle and raised his hand to activate it.

In the silver light, Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared.

When he opened his eyes again, he had left Shrek City and arrived in the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

"vomit"

Huo Yuhao leaned against the wall and let out a long breath. "I'm dizzy from the teleportation... Multiple teleportations in a row are really too mentally taxing. I must make a teleporter that can reliably teleport you to any place in one go in the future."

Shaking his head and looking out the window at the distinctly exotic scenery, Huo Yuhao knew that he had arrived in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Unlike his hometown, Xingluo, the Tianhun Empire is a country that has split apart. Its predecessor, the Tiandou Empire, split into the current Tianhun and Douling countries.

Although both are empires, on the surface, the Heavenly Soul is weaker than the Sun Moon and Star Luo, ranking third. The Battle Spirit ranks fourth, with the smallest territory and the fewest Title Douluos.

The strongest is undoubtedly the Sun Moon Empire, which has the largest area, the most mineral resources, and the strongest strength. If it weren't for the existence of Shrek Academy, even if the original three kingdoms of Douluo joined forces, they would still have difficulty defeating the Sun Moon Empire.

The reason it is described as overt is because, unlike Xingluo, which has more families than sects, Tianhun has a great many different sects and powerful hidden sects.

Huo Yuhao had learned from Shrek Academy's library that most of the sects like the Body Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were located in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Although these sects usually act independently, it's hard to guarantee that some of them might step forward when the Heavenly Soul is in danger.

Huo Yuhao walked out of the cave where the teleportation array was hidden and observed his surroundings. It wasn't too far from Shrek Academy. He had only taken ten days off, so he had to hurry.

It's not easy to get leave from Shrek Academy, but now that he's the "big boss" of the Soul Guidance Department, he naturally doesn't have that restriction.

His destination this time was the hometown of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the northernmost part of the entire Douluo Continent, which is also the coldest and most vast snowfield in the far north.

Once you get there, getting back and forth will be much easier. You can set up a teleportation array there and then keep moving between several teleportation points.

"Magic is such a convenient thing." A small metal mechanical insect crawled out of Huo Yuhao's shoulder.

"Science is also science," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said curiously, twisting its mechanical body.

With Huo Yuhao's current abilities, he cannot create intelligent robots. This metal worm is the result of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm possessing him.

In short, using this insect-shaped machine as a carrier, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm can temporarily leave Huo Yuhao's Sea of ​​Spirit and move around for a period of time.

It also has audio and video recording functions, and even attack capabilities, which can be controlled by Tianmeng's thoughts.

"This feeling of being attached to a puppet's body is quite peculiar. It's been a long time since I've been active in the outside world." Another small humanoid figure flew out from the other side of Huo Yuhao; that was Electrolux.

"Elder Yi, Brother Tianmeng, let's hurry on our way."

Huo Yuhao had them crawl into his shirt pocket, then took out a pair of roller skates from his storage soul tool.

Using the ice-attribute soul power that Tianmeng had given him, Huo Yuhao condensed a thin layer of ice on the roller skates' wheels and skated northward at an extremely fast speed.

………………

The north wind blows, chilling to the bone.

Eight thousand miles of frozen land, and towering silver peaks and snow-capped mountains.

Huo Yuhao arrived at the border between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the far north.

"It's truly magnificent," Huo Yuhao exclaimed, marveling at the silvery world before him.

Beautiful and dangerous.

He knew that if he went any deeper, once he entered that seemingly endless snowstorm, he would probably freeze to death in seven or eight days with his current physical condition.

"Seven or eight days is long enough. Your physical body is ridiculously strong. I feel like I won't need anything I prepared." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm removed his remains from Huo Yuhao's body.

"This is... Brother Tianmeng, your corpse?" Huo Yuhao said, looking at the thin silkworm shell. He had already discovered that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had left this on his body.

However, he had always thought that Tianmeng was reluctant to give up her original body, but it turns out that it is useful now.

"Calling it a corpse is too strange, but it doesn't seem wrong... Oh well, why worry about it so much? Yuhao, hurry up and put it on." Tianmeng urged.

"It's so warm. Brother Tianmeng, your body is quite warm, even though it's so thin." Huo Yuhao touched the silkworm shell wrapped around his body in surprise.

"This is getting more and more outrageous. I feel like you're doing this on purpose..." Tianmeng complained.

"And it's very sturdy. If this material could be replicated, it would definitely be a very popular garment. Senior Brother Bei Bei and the others always have their clothes burst open when they transform with their Beast Martial Souls. If it were this kind, it could change with the body without breaking. It seems that there are very few styles of clothing in Douluo Continent. Most of them are tight-fitting clothes, tight-fitting clothes, tight-fitting clothes..." Huo Yuhao discovered another business opportunity.

"Yuhao, let's go quickly." Tianmeng was speechless; this kid would just stare blankly with his head propped up whenever he got into thought.

………………

"The Ice Emperor, one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North?" Huo Yuhao pressed on through the wind and snow, his eyes blinded by the snow, and even with his mental detection activated, all he could see was white.

“That’s right, we’re going to make her your second martial soul, a living, ultimate ice martial soul!” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said excitedly.

"Haha, that's exactly how it should be! The power I need has to be this strong!" Huo Yuhao laughed wildly, without fear or confusion; he was always so confident.

"Waaah..." Laughing wildly in the snow meant getting a mouthful of snow.

We found a place where the snow was lighter.

"How are you? Yuhao, can you still hold on?" Tianmeng, attached to the mechanical insect, climbed onto Huo Yuhao's shoulder. "I'm about to lure her over."

“No problem at all.” Huo Yuhao patted Tianmeng’s mechanical body, and a hole slowly opened on Tianmeng’s back, from which a perfectly grilled fish stretched out.

Huo Yuhao picked up the grilled fish and took a big bite. It was delicious and very satisfying.

"When?! I didn't even know! Don't put weird things inside people's bodies!" Tianmeng exclaimed in shock.

"I made the cooking function right from the start, so I can eat hot food anytime, anywhere. Isn't that useful?" Huo Yuhao said as he ate, placing the fish in the heating vent to keep it warm.

"It is indeed very useful... No, now is not the time to talk about this, Hyotei is already here!" Tenmu exclaimed.

In an instant, the pitch-black sky turned into a translucent and alluring emerald green, its captivating color like the sky high above suddenly transforming into a giant emerald gem.

"Tianmeng, you're still alive! You truly deserve to be the longest-lived creature in our far north... Huh? Why does your scent have changed? Why do you smell so good?" A clear and majestic voice resounded across the snowfield, and the swirling snow seemed to pause for a moment.

Chapter 18 Hyotei, Fusion, Becoming Stronger

"Hyotei, you're still alive, why can't I live? Do you remember what I said back then? If I don't die, one day I will become your partner." The spirit of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm emerged from the mechanical body.

He transformed into a golden humanoid figure with golden hair and eyes, radiating brilliance, and his face bore a resemblance to Huo Yuhao.

"We've already seen countless interracial romances in Shrek's library," Huo Yuhao laughed.

"Tianmeng, you're courting death. With your current state where you don't even have a physical body, you might as well obediently become my nourishment," Ice Emperor said disdainfully.

She revealed herself to be a giant, emerald-green scorpion.

The fine Ice Scorpion can be described as follows: Silver sky, white earth, and azure light; fierce winds and snowstorms rage wildly; chilling emerald claws; murderous intent and sharp tail hook.

Seeing an opportunity, Tianmeng took action, unleashing his million years of spiritual cultivation to engage in a fierce battle.

This is a million-year-old ice silkworm, that is the infamous Emperor Scorpion; one radiates a vast, golden spiritual light, the other displays deadly intent with its sharp ice hooks…

In the sea of ​​spirit, Elder Yi watched Huo Yuhao enthusiastically describe the two insects fighting and was speechless for a moment.

Even someone as composed as him, who could recite "Holding the sun and moon in his hands and plucking stars from the sky, there is no one like me in the world," felt incredibly embarrassed.

"Alright, Brother Tianmeng is about to succeed." Huo Yuhao saw Tianmeng use his mental power to manipulate the remains he had taken off earlier and secretly fly towards Ice Emperor.

The Hyotei, who was briefly restrained, couldn't escape in time. As soon as they came into contact with the remains, they were bound by the thin membrane that the remains had transformed into.

With the power of the Heavenly Dream, the remains became exceptionally strong, firmly binding Hyotei to the spot, unable to move.

"Hehe, Yuhao, now that we've got the second martial soul, let's pack her up and take her with us!" Tianmeng said excitedly.

………………

"You actually depend on a mere human?" The bound Ice Emperor looked at Huo Yuhao in shock.

"So what if we're human? For you and me, this is the only chance to become gods and survive. Are you in or not?"

"Dry!"

After being coerced and tempted by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, Ice Emperor finally agreed.

Although Tianmeng Ice Silkworm is lazy, it is actually very smart. This is evident in its ability to retain its intelligence and depend on humans through its own research, as well as in its current tactics of playing the victim, threatening, and enticing.
