Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

Everyone passing by would greet Mr. Huodou, who was traveling with him, and would also look at the stranger with curious and innocent eyes.

Stable and peaceful.

Zhang Peng liked the place as soon as he arrived.

"Hey! Out-of-town guest, would you like some specialty cheese that's been specially marked up to an exorbitant price just for you?"

"..."

However, Zhang Peng secretly admired Huo Yuhao for being able to build such a place in the harsh environment of the snow-capped mountains.

"What do you think?" Huo Yuhao asked.

“It’s very peaceful and calming,” Zhang Peng nodded in response.

"Oh dear, Master has brought guests. I'll go pour some tea." Bai Zhen greeted them upon seeing them and then turned to serve the tea.

In the reception room,

"Bai Zhen, this is Zhang Peng, titled Scorpion Tiger Douluo," Huo Yuhao introduced.

"A Title Douluo?! Greetings, senior." Bai Zhen was surprised. There was actually a guest with a title. Her master was too amazing.

“Okay…okay…” Zhang Peng nodded, took a sip of tea. He used to be hated by everyone, and had never been called a senior before.

The sound of children playing outside came from outside the door. Zhang Peng looked in the direction of the sound and immediately noticed that several children had a faint bluish-gray tinge on their faces.

He frowned; he knew this all too well.

"Mr. Huodou, these children..."

"Hmm, Evil Martial Soul."

Zhang Peng immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Huo Yuhao.

"Sir, you are very righteous. If there is anything I can do to help you, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

These children, whom even their parents would avoid, were raised here by Huo Yuhao, which made him even more convinced of Huo Yuhao's claim of curing evil martial souls.

"A Title Douluo bows to my master..." The white-haired girl was dizzy and could barely hold the teapot in her hand. Just how strong was her master?

…………

night,

Undead Demiplane

"Hahahaha, what righteousness? I'm incredibly excited right now! With the corpse of a Title Douluo and a living Title Evil Soul Master to study, my experiments are more successful than ever before!" Huo Yuhao laughed wildly, unable to contain his joy.

Chapter 46 Creating the Living Dead

not long ago,

The entrance to Shrek Academy's dormitory.

Moon lay comfortably in his wheelchair, while a radio beside him played sunset music at a very loud volume.

"Locust blossoms fall, well water grows cool; the bluestone path winds and stretches long."

This old man is really living a leisurely life... Huo Yuhao walked speechlessly to the wheelchair.

"It's Yuhao, what's up?"

Huo Yuhao raised his hand and pointed to the dormitory building behind him.

"Mr. Mu, the sound is too loud. Even if the dormitory is soundproof, many people can't stand it. Wang Dong was so upset that she rolled on the ground. She said she would find a chance to take apart your radio."

"..."

The embarrassed old man quietly turned down the volume.

Since the elderly man had previously revealed his identity, the students in the dormitory dared not say anything.

Besides Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.

Huo Yuhao always had an indifferent attitude, but Wang Dong... she treated everyone the same way.

"Is there anything else?" Mu En coughed awkwardly twice, noticing that Huo Yuhao was still standing there.

"Elder Mu, are evil soul masters born evil? Does having an evil martial soul but never harming anyone count as an evil soul master? What about soul masters with normal martial souls but with a twisted personality who likes to kill indiscriminately? What is the specific definition of an evil soul master? I saw in the inner courtyard library that you had a record of letting evil soul masters go free..."

"Stop, stop..." Mu En rubbed his wrinkled forehead, interrupting Huo Yuhao's question, "You child, you keep asking questions. Let me think about how to answer you first."

Then, he began to speak slowly.

"Of course, evil soul masters are not born evil. In my opinion, no one is born evil. The reason why evil soul masters are evil soul masters is because their martial souls carry evil energy that will cause them to engage in extreme behaviors. As long as they cultivate, that evil attribute will continuously confuse their minds, making them more likely to do cruel things."

"So only those who have harmed others can be considered evil spirit masters?"

"That's my opinion, but in reality, many people don't distinguish that much when facing evil spirit masters. They usually just identify anyone with evil aura as a target."

"It's a fact that evil spirit masters are ruthless. I can only judge the strength of their evil aura and whether they've harmed anyone if I have the power to do so. For most people, not exterminating evil spirit masters is just playing with their own lives." Mu En shook his head and sighed.

"However, the fact that you would think about these things is quite surprising. Judging from your previous purge of the evil spirit masters in Shrek City, I thought you wouldn't care about such issues."

"The Great Purge was for the sake of a stable development environment for Shrek City, while considering the definition of evil soul masters was for another matter."

Huo Yuhao certainly wouldn't care about evil soul masters for no reason; he asked these questions for two main reasons.

First, there's Tang Ya. Tang Ya's martial soul undoubtedly possesses evil attributes. Although she has her own unique cultivation technique to suppress it, she dares not use it herself, and using it would inevitably invite criticism. This situation is not beneficial for the treatment.

Secondly, there is the matter of one's own research. Research is inevitably related to the human body and the soul, which is considered absolutely heretical by traditional soul masters and no different from evil soul masters. If we want Douluo Continent to allow research to proceed freely, we must change this mindset.

To resolve these two issues, it is necessary to clarify the definition of evil soul masters across the entire Douluo Continent and find a way to make everyone clearly understand the more detailed distinctions between evil energy, malevolent energy, darkness, devouring, and other such powers.

The most influential way to promote these open-minded ideas is naturally for Mu En, the leader of Shrek Academy and a trendsetter throughout the Douluo Continent, to personally say them and then spread them through his newspapers and weekly magazines.

"If I invent a machine that can automatically detect evil energy and martial spirits, Elder Mu, could you do me a favor?"

“This…” Moon’s forehead furrowed. If such a machine really existed, it would be an incredible thing. “What do you want to do?”

"Civilization and enlightenment!"

"?"

Mu En didn't quite understand what Huo Yuhao was talking about, but he knew that Shrek Academy was getting better and better because of Huo Yuhao.

He trusted the education consultant he had hired.

………………

Let's go back to the present.

At the summit of the snow-capped mountain,

Huo Yuhao and Scorpion Tiger Douluo were conducting experiments.

"Mr. Scorpion Tiger, release your martial spirit and try to control your evil power," Huo Yuhao commanded.

Having been given a sedative, Zhang Peng no longer needed to worry about his blood thirst attack, and he confidently unleashed his evil-infused soul power.

Huo Yuhao inserted a palm-sized oval device into the rising black evil energy. It vibrated slightly and emitted a red light.

"No, it needs to be improved."

Huo Yuhao put away the instruments and took out paper and pen to record the characteristics of the evil energy.

"Alright, we'll go back and draw some more blood today so you can rest."

"Doctor Huo Dou, I'm so sorry. Although I wanted to help you, I'm limited by that Mu En, and there are many restrictions," Zhang Peng said. Not having to spend a lot of time sucking blood every day has given him a lot of free time, and he wants to do more for Huo Yuhao.

"No problem, I'll handle it. Mr. Scorpion Tiger just needs to stay in the snow mountain and guard this place for me."

"Of course, once I, Zhang Peng, have promised something, I will do it even if it means risking my own life." He patted his chest and assured them.

"There's no need for self-destruction..."

Huo Yuhao paused and then said, "If you really want to do something, practice the mental training method I gave you more, and then try to experience your martial soul and soul power with your body. Tell me how you feel then."

………………

Undead Demiplane

Huo Yuhao examined the scorpion's blood under a microscope.

The body of Wuyun beside him had been disassembled and sealed away by him using extreme ice.

"That's the good thing about the ultimate ice; you never have to worry about things spoiling again."

Huo Yuhao carefully analyzed the scorpion tiger's blood and tried to react with it using different materials.

"If cells can divide, then could they grow into a complete human being... a clone?"

At this moment, Tianmeng tapped on the surface of the Extreme Ice, interrupting his thoughts.

"Yuhao, we've already studied the body parts of this titled figure several times. What's the point of keeping them? Why don't we assemble them into a zombie?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked.

"No rush. We do need to work hard, but this time I want to do something new."

"Something new?" Tianmeng wondered, what ingenious idea did Huo Yuhao have this time?

"Elder Yi, generally speaking, the zombies we create, even though their bodies are pieced together and they can move, are still inanimate objects, right?" Huo Yuhao asked this question out of the blue.

“Of course,” Electrox said. He was very familiar with zombies. “Although zombies can move, that’s just us giving commands to the corpse with magic. In essence, they are still just a piece of dead flesh.”

"Is it possible for us to dissect a dead body and then reassemble it to create a living person? Would the reassembled person still be the same person? Or, could we sew together different body parts from different people into a complete body? Would that still be able to live? As long as we can activate the brain and solve problems like rejection, it's entirely possible, right?"

"Is it possible to create... a living dead?"

Huo Yuhao said a bunch of things that made Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's hair stand on end.

"The dead are brought back to life? This is practically resurrection and the creation of life..." Hyotei exclaimed in amazement at the idea.

“This kind of thing…” Even Electrolux fell silent.

"Let's give it a try! Create a living dead! Isn't that interesting?" Huo Yuhao said excitedly.

"That's really interesting," everyone thought.

One of them was a necromancer, and the other two were not human, so they had absolutely no taboos about such things.

After making the decision, the four of them took out the dark cloud from the ultimate ice, intending to use him, a titled Douluo, as the basis for the stitching.

They have plenty of materials, so there's no need to worry about running out of parts.
