Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

"Haha, that's an exaggeration." Nanmen Yun'er laughed, "But Ning Tian, ​​I really didn't expect that you, the young lady of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, could also mix drinks."

"What young lady? I'm just an ordinary student at Shrek Academy. I only learned bartending because I was interested in it. It helps me forget things for a while, and I actually prefer this place to the oppressive atmosphere inside the sect." Ning Tian made her another glass of emerald green soda, garnished with a small piece of honeydew melon.

"Now the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is going to become the Bartender Glazed Tile School."

Just then, an infuriating voice suddenly came from the other side, and Huo Yuhao was sitting in the other seat at some point.

"What a boring pun..." Wang Dong complained.

Ning Tian and the other two all changed their expressions and immediately stood up, their faces full of vigilance.

"Don't be nervous, something good is coming your way." Of course, the renowned Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was among the first group of people selected by Huo Yuhao.

"What good could you possibly have?" Wu Feng was furious. The sight of them brought back the unpleasant, sticky feeling on her hands.

"Wait a moment, Feng Mei, let's hear what Huo Yuhao has to say." Ning Tian's guarded expression disappeared upon seeing Huo Yuhao, and a slight blush appeared on her cute freckled face.

"No...no way..." Wu Feng couldn't believe it, his eyes instantly losing their sparkle. "I was the one who started it..."

In reality, what Wu Feng didn't know was that Ning Tian's feelings of admiration and learning stemmed from joining the Fifth School District and reading Huo Yuhao's martial soul research materials.

It is the excitement of a pure, scientific seeker of the Way.

There is nothing impure about it.

That's it.

………………

The first group of volunteers gathered at the east gate of Shrek Academy; they were all outstanding students from the School of Foreign Languages.

"Alright, everyone's here. We're going to Star Dou Forest today. Is everyone ready?" Huo Yuhao stood in front of the volunteers like a tour guide.

"Oh!" Only Wang Dong responded cooperatively, raising his camera and waving it around. He also had a light blue backpack on his back, making it look like he was going on a picnic.

"Haha, why is everyone so nervous? Come on, let's distribute the gifts now. Everyone get one: snacks, soft drinks, insect nets..." Huo Yuhao began handing out the gifts.

Beibei and the others, who had lined up, fell silent. Wasn't the Star Dou Forest supposed to be a dangerous place, off-limits to the living? What was with this picnic atmosphere?

Common sense from childhood tells them that going to the Starry Sky Forest shouldn't be like this.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. It's not that dangerous. If you don't believe me, ask Huo Qiu'er. She lived here for a long time." Huo Yuhao invited Huo Qiu'er to speak.

“It feels just like coming home,” Huo Qiu’er said.

"..."

"Alright, line up, watch out for the people in front and behind you, don't fall behind or get lost." Huo Yuhao clapped his hands. "This time our instructor is Elder Xuan, so safety is guaranteed. Everyone, welcome him!"

When Elder Xuan appeared, he was still the same disheveled old man, carrying a purplish-red wine gourd and gnawing on a chicken leg.

"Little ones, I'll be right behind you, none of you need to be afraid," Elder Xuan said confidently, then glanced at Huo Yuhao.

He knew that Huo Yuhao was Mr. Huo, and that half of the two tons of food in his storage device was produced by him. This opportunity to cooperate with the soul beast was also something he had secured.

He had already decided to protect Huo Yuhao no matter what, even at the cost of his life. Putting aside the fact that Huo Yuhao was a super genius who could change the times, the fact that he had cured Mu En alone made him extremely grateful.

Huo Yuhao, however, was not worried at all. He was certain that this trip was safe, not because of Elder Xuan, but because he trusted the cooperative relationship he had established through his own beast-taming contract, as well as the two powerful beings at the divine sense level within his body.

As for Elder Xuan…

"This Elder Xuan is really strange," Huo Yuhao thought to himself. "Why does he have to keep eating?"

We hadn't had much of a chance to meet before, but this time, it was clear that Elder Xuan was constantly eating, with chicken legs and grilled fish in his hands in rotation, never taking a break.

"Binge eating disorder that makes it impossible to stop eating? Is it possible to have this problem at level 98?" Huo Yuhao frowned. The side effects of the martial soul are quite severe.

He had heard about Elder Xuan from Elder Mu. The Gluttonous Divine Ox Martial Soul was accompanied by an uncontrollable and ever-explosive appetite. He had to eat constantly, otherwise he would become mentally confused and unable to think. However, when eating, his attention was already distracted by the food.

"This side effect previously caused a large number of casualties among the students when I was leading the team... This martial soul is completely unusable." Huo Yuhao commented. This martial soul is obviously problematic, and its side effects are comparable to those of an evil martial soul.

………………

Starry Sky Forest

Amidst the clicking of Wang Dong's camera, everyone else relaxed and began to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Starry Sky Forest.

Strangely enough, the spirit beasts in the forest were all unusually well-behaved; none of them attacked them, and they would avoid them if they encountered them head-on.

"arrive."

Huo Yuhao stopped in his tracks. Ahead of him were Di Tian and other ferocious beasts leading a large group of soul beasts.

The infamous ferocious beasts, including the Bear King, the Crimson King, and the King of Ten Thousand Demons, have all gathered here.

They were just there to witness it. The Silver Dragon King, as the ruler of all soul beasts, had already agreed to the cooperation, and even Xiong Jun, who was most dissatisfied with Di Tian, ​​didn't dare to cause trouble.

"Di Tian, ​​let's begin." Huo Yuhao pulled out Bei Bei first, and the senior brother set an example by being the first in line.

"It's entirely up to you." Di Tian nodded, his voice still extremely authoritative.

The imposing aura emanating from him made it hard for the students present to breathe, even Bei Bei, who appeared to be the most powerful, felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Hold your breath and call that old, dying Celestial Dragon Horse over."

Huo Yuhao quickly found a matching soul beast using his mental detection.

A pure white steed appeared, with a dragon's head and a diamond-shaped pale gold gem on its forehead.

"Senior Brother, your Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex has both electric and light attributes, as well as the light attribute of the Light Holy Dragon. I'd like to confirm with you whether you want to continue developing based on the electric attribute, or whether you want to activate the Light Holy Dragon bloodline and develop it in the direction of bloodline enhancement."

If you choose the path of bloodline, then this Heavenly Dragon Horse, which also possesses the bloodline of the Holy Dragon of Light, is the most suitable for you. If you choose the path of electromagnetism, I can also choose other soul beasts for you.”

Beibei didn't hesitate. He smiled and said, "If it were before, I would definitely have chosen to activate my bloodline, but now that I have the super electromagnetic path that you, Yuhao, customized for me, of course I will choose to cultivate the electric attribute."

How could a mere Holy Dragon of Light compare to the powerful and domineering electromagnetic field? He, Beibei, simply loved the exhilarating feeling of the electromagnetic field spinning! So exhilarating! So exhilarating!

"Haha, good choice. Actually, I also think you're more suited to the electric attribute, but you have to choose your own path." Huo Yuhao used his mental detection again. "If it's the electric attribute, then choose it."

He pointed to another soul beast. Those who came with Di Tian were all willing to sign contracts with people, so there was no need to worry about being refused.

Following Huo Yuhao's instructions, Di Tian pulled out a golden-furred rat-shaped soul beast.

"An 80,000-year-old electric rat, a pure electric attribute soul beast. If it can form a contract with you and cultivate the electromagnetic path together, it should produce an extraordinary reaction. It might even evolve and break through to 100,000 years." Huo Yuhao was looking forward to Bei Bei saying the line, "I choose you, Lightning Rat."

Next, Huo Yuhao took out a contract seal from his pocket, infused it with his mental energy, and tapped the slightly glowing seal on Bei Bei's hand and the electric mouse.

Each person drew a drop of blood at the location of the magic circle, and as soon as the person and the soul beast imprint came into contact, their soul power began to merge.

Beibei's cultivation level began to increase, breaking through from the critical point of level 40 to the Soul Master realm. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was released on its own, but compared to the original dragon might, the terror of lightning was even greater.

Meanwhile, the electric mouse's soul power became purer, and its fur became more lustrous. After its cultivation level broke through to 90,000, it began to conceal its aura and seal its own cultivation level in accordance with Beibei's current level. Its size also shrank to the point where it could stand on Beibei's shoulder.

The human and the beast together released a semi-circular electric field, with golden lightning crackling and causing the weaker soul beasts around to retreat, much like the awakening of insects.

Wang Dong was prepared and captured the moment with a click of the shutter.

Tomorrow's newspaper headline will be reporter Dong Er's photo of "the first collaboration between humans and soul beasts and the scene of the beast taming contract".

"Its intelligence has increased so much, and its cultivation has broken through immediately. Although this electric rat was already the most outstanding in its clan, the ability to change its form at will should be something that only a soul beast that is at least 200,000 years old can do. This contract is truly amazing!" Bi Ji exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with joy.

She hoped that in this way, a future where soul beasts and humans could coexist, and an unprecedentedly prosperous future, would not be far off.

"What a wonderful contract!" Although Di Tian didn't show it, he was also surprised. Even though he had already read the information given by the auspicious beast, seeing it with his own eyes was still a different experience. "Is this contract really all benefits and no drawbacks?"

"Haha, anyway, we haven't found any downsides yet. It's much better than the original direct hunting." Huo Yuhao said confidently. This is a work that combines the knowledge of three worlds, so it's normal for it to perform like this.

That's right, the Soul Master's Way in Douluo Continent, the Magic Way in Yi Lao's World, and... the Meridian Cultivation Way in the Xuan Tian Gong World.

From the very beginning of his research, Huo Yuhao was puzzled. The level of understanding of the human body and meridians in the Xuan Tian Gong was far inferior to that of the Douluo Continent.

"It's almost like a product of another world," he thought. With the example of Old Man Yi, it wasn't hard for him to think about the existence of other worlds and the fact that people could travel between different worlds.

What confirmed this for him was discovering a suspicious point about the Xuan Tian Gong: as a cultivation method for cultivating soul power, it contained not a single word containing the terms "soul ring," "soul beast," or "soul power."

It's as if breakthroughs in cultivation techniques don't require spirit rings.

Instead, there are many obscure and difficult-to-understand terms that are almost never used in Douluo Continent, such as "internal force".

There might be those who create new words to keep the secret and pass on the technique, but the Mysterious Heaven Technique is still too suspicious.

In conclusion, Huo Yuhao concluded that the founder of the Xuan Tian Gong who "suddenly" created it was "Sea God Tang San".

One possibility is that he received the inheritance of someone from another world, like Elder Yi.

Another possibility is that he himself is from another world.

Of course, he is also a truly unparalleled genius. Without any precedent or trend of the times, he created the Great Dao that transcends the entire world and is independent of the entire cultivation system all by himself.

"Is this... possible?" Huo Yuhao didn't believe it was possible. He even thought that the thing in his own mind was from outside the world, otherwise he couldn't explain those inexplicable knowledge and inspirations.

…………

Back to now,

"Alright, Wang Dong, you're next. You're the one to contract this Heavenly Dragon Horse with the Light attribute," Huo Yuhao called out.

Then it went very quickly; everyone lined up to sign contracts, and there were no, and could not be, any unexpected situations.

Chapter 73 The Gold of Life

The contract between Wang Dong and Tianlongma was perhaps influenced by the divine bloodline within Wang Dong, coupled with the high purity of the light attribute soul power of the Goddess of Light Butterfly, which was extremely compatible. As a result, Tianlongma's cultivation level rapidly increased, and its lifespan, which was originally nearing its end, was no longer a limitation.

Tianlong Horse regained its vitality, raised its head and puffed out its chest, its hooves pounding the ground. Then it lay down in front of Wang Dong and let Wang Dong ride it.

"Hahaha, I've become Prince Charming!"

The shimmering butterfly wings and the lithe white horse combine to create a dazzling, fairytale-like scene.

Huo Yuhao nodded, confirming his judgment; the contract partners he had found were indeed the most suitable.

Next up are Xu Sanshi with a golden hawksbill turtle, and Jiang Nannan with a crimson soft-tendoned python.

Jiang Nannan was not surprised and smoothly signed a contract with the Rouge Soft Tendon Python. The two were a perfect match, and the latter, seeing how much the cultivation of the previous soul beast had increased, knew that this was an extremely rare opportunity and immediately agreed.

But the requirements for golden tortoiseshell are quite specific...

“I request a separate contract space to protect my privacy,” said Golden Tortoiseshell.

"Your tortoiseshell has quite a few requirements." Xu Sanshi was speechless. How could the soul beast that was compatible with him be like this?

"Its intelligence is very high, it can speak human language, and it's an auspicious beast with fortune second only to the Golden Lion, which is probably why it's so arrogant. However, its vitality seems to be a bit problematic. Let's agree to its request and find a place to go alone." Huo Yuhao could tell that this hawksbill turtle seemed to have some unspeakable secret.

“We should definitely agree to his request, Yuhao. This soul beast has a valuable treasure on it,” Electrolux suddenly said.

Huo Yuhao became curious when Electrolux called it a treasure.
