Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

Stroking the tree trunk that radiated golden light, Huo Yuhao turned to look at the old man behind him.

"Old Yi, how about using this thing as your physical body?"

Chapter 103 Possession, Going to Xingluo, Making Trouble

“Actually, I would prefer a human body, but this is fine for now.” Electrox nodded, then leaped into the golden tree, his spiritual form disappearing into it.

The original consciousness of the Golden Tree had long since ceased to exist, and Electrolux took over its body without any hindrance.

Although the tree has not yet recovered to its former grandeur before the bombing, it is still quite lush and verdant thanks to Huo Yuhao's careful cultivation.

The golden leaves shone brightly under the sun, radiating a life force that was in no way inferior to the gold of living beings.

A flash of golden light appeared, the golden branches and leaves trembled twice, and an old man's face appeared on the trunk.

Thus, the golden ancient tree Electrolux was born.

"Elder Yi, how are you feeling?" Huo Yuhao asked. It was a novel thing for a human soul to possess the Golden Tree.

“Very good. This golden ancient tree has a very pure life force and its light attribute power is extremely rich, making it a perfect match for me.” The human face on the tree trunk opened its mouth and said.

"This is triggering my uncanny valley effect. Old man Yi, can't you turn into a human and speak? What's with that face growing on the tree trunk?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm complained.

“This golden ancient tree cannot yet transform into human form, but it should be fine once I get used to it for a while,” Electrox said.

Suddenly, another magic circle appeared on the golden ancient tree; it was the beast taming contract within Electrox's body.

"Huh? The third martial soul has changed a bit."

Huo Yuhao's third martial soul, the Necromancer Saint, resonated with the contract between the Golden Tree Ilex, causing a gray soul ring representing the path of necromancy to rise automatically.

The intricate structure of the necromancy soul ring underwent subtle changes, and a golden leaf pattern condensed on it.

"Is this... now that Elder Yi has taken control of the Golden Tree, it's also considered part of my power?" Huo Yuhao quietly sensed himself and discovered that his life force had grown much stronger.

The ground trembled as Electrolux manipulated the golden tree roots to rise from the earth, using tens of thousands of thick, tentacle-like roots as support to stand on the ground.

“Although I can’t take human form for now, it won’t be a problem if I need to move around,” Electrox said.

“Okay, that way I can summon Elder Yi anytime if anything happens,” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

He then turned and greeted Mu En, "Elder Mu, let's set off for the Star Luo Empire immediately."

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is about to begin.

………………

Train platform,

In the past few months, apart from the Sun Moon Empire, all other countries in Douluo have been connected to Shrek City by rail.

Huo Yuhao designed the railways leading to Tianhun and Xueguo, while He Caitou and Fan Yu were tasked with completing Xingluo and Douling respectively.

Now, Huo Yuhao and his group are about to take a train from Shrek City directly to Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire.

Star History Railway was the name He Caitou came up with when designing it. Although he felt that the name might easily unleash some kind of inner power, Huo Yuhao was too lazy to care.

"Is everyone here?" Elder Xuan looked at the Shrek Seven Devils, who had gathered together again after the holiday.

Although Elder Xuan was still dressed in his usual slovenly manner, thanks to the compressed food Huo Yuhao gave him, his hunger was greatly reduced, and he no longer ate a chicken leg all the time like before.

Of course, he still enjoys eating in private, but in formal settings, he chooses to eat the most convenient and filling compressed foods so that he doesn't make mistakes due to binge eating disorder.

For example, right now, he's responsible for escorting the students to the competition, and he's already stuffed himself until he's about to burst.

“Everyone’s here,” Wang Yan replied. He was the teacher leading the group this time.

In addition to the previously agreed Shrek Seven Devils, there are seven reserve team members.

They are Huo Qiu'er, Cui Yajie, Zhu Lu, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo.

In the selection of the reserve team, Elder Xuan adopted a multi-person free-for-all format.

With Huo Qiu'er's almost complete lack of strength, Cui Yajie and Zhu Lu didn't need to move at all during the chaotic battle, and the three of them were able to enter the reserve team together.

Ning Tian devoted himself to studying his meridians and martial soul, neglecting sleep and meals. In addition, Huo Yuhao had let him temporarily experience the feeling of martial soul advancement, and he successfully replicated the soul power circulation route used in that advancement, finally forming his own cultivation method, which could stabilize the state of the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

With the blessing of the evolved Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and the help of Wu Feng, although he still couldn't defeat Huo Qiu'er, he was invincible.

As for the Lan sisters, although they have a martial soul fusion skill, their strength is still not top-notch.

The reason they were able to stand out from the other trainees is that they were invited to join Jiang Nannan's school idol team a month ago.

Their first performance together with popular idol Jiang Nannan made them famous as the "Lan Twins," and their adorable twin characters with distinct personalities became very popular.

Due to their high popularity, the company also rewarded them with the same idol-exclusive cultivation techniques as Jiang Nannan.

With the enhancement of the cultivation technique, the two gained meticulous control over every single strand of their hair, a level of skill unmatched by ordinary students.

"Alright, everyone get on the bus. This time we won't do anything along the way; we'll go straight to Xingluo City." Elder Xuan urged everyone to get on the bus.

"We should have taken the students to see the border battlefield of Duke White Tiger along the way, so that these children could broaden their horizons. Unfortunately, the relationship between the academy and Duke White Tiger is such that..." Elder Xuan sighed softly.

Huo Yuhao was secretly delighted. Of course he knew what Elder Xuan was talking about, after all, he was the culprit who killed Dai Huabin.

"On the way? Will we pass by Duke White Tiger's camp?" Wang Yan asked.

"It's just that the train will be closer for a while; there's still quite a distance to go," Elder Xuan replied. "I've also heard that after our Shrek City's communicators were exported to Xingluo, Duke White Tiger immediately discovered their value and applied them to military purposes. He used information warfare to cause great suffering to the Sun Moon Army, which had never been very peaceful before. He truly deserves to be called a military genius."

"Tsk."

"Hmm? What's wrong with Yuhao?" Wang Yan was listening intently. Regardless of their relationship with Duke Baihu, the people of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms were very happy to hear that the Sun Moon Empire had suffered a setback. Then he heard Huo Yuhao next to him make an unhappy click of his tongue.

"It's nothing, Teacher Wang, you must have misheard." Huo Yuhao shook his head and turned back to his seat.

"What's wrong with Yuhao? He looks unhappy." Wang Dong, who was sitting next to her, asked. She was quite excited about going to Xingluo City for the competition.

"It's nothing." Huo Yuhao leaned back in his seat and turned to look out the car window.

"Hmm..." Wang Dong tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then decided it was best not to disturb him for the time being.

"Let's go and cause some trouble for that White Tiger Duke."

Huo Yuhao thought about it and was very dissatisfied that the product he developed was being used by that guy.

Since it's on the way, we should make Dai Hao suffer a bit more.

He used mental simulation to leave a fake body in the original seat, while he himself was teleported out of the train.

"Let me see, that's where their camp is." Huo Yuhao activated a teleportation array and slowly stepped in.

…………

The border of the Star Luo Empire

This is where Xingluo meets Riyue. The army of the Sun and Moon Empire, along with some evil spirit masters and bandit groups, often cause trouble here. Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger and his White Tiger Guards have been stationed here for many years.

After leaving Shrek Academy due to the death of his younger brother, Dai Yueheng also fought here with Dai Hao.

"Huh? Evil Soul Master? Hiding on that hilltop over there, so close to the White Tiger camp, why don't they go and wipe them out?" As soon as Huo Yuhao arrived, he had a clear view of everything in this area.

Chapter 104 Corpse Explosion Technique, Star Luo City

Between the borders of stars and the sun and moon lies a rugged, undulating landscape.

Evil spirit masters, bandits, and others like to hide in these caves.

"They're quite clever. After committing crimes in Xingluo, they run to Sun and Moon, and after committing crimes in Sun and Moon, they run back to Xingluo, making it difficult for both sides to catch them." Huo Yuhao floated lazily in the air, peering at the cave that exuded an evil aura.

The cave was hidden in the mountains and forests. Inside were more than ten bandits dressed as robbers, all of whom had cultivation. The strongest was a black-robed evil soul master with the cultivation of a Soul King. His aura of death was strong, indicating that he had taken many lives to cultivate.

The environment outside the cave was terrible. There were many corpses lying haphazardly, making it almost impossible to step outside the cave entrance. Moreover, it was stinking and infested with flies.

"This is disgusting. Is it some kind of weird quirk of evil spirit masters? Why do they keep their living quarters so unsanitary?" Huo Yuhao frowned. Either the evil spirit master liked this style, or the pile of corpses had another purpose.

Huo Yuhao extended his mental power, which slid into the cave like dozens of flexible tentacles. He had originally planned to use spatial magic to throw the evil soul master directly into Dai Hao's tent to scare him, but the disgusting nature of this evil soul master made him change his mind.

"Let's just kill them first."

The telekinetic tentacles instantly seized all the thieves on the hillside, climbed up their necks, and snapped them in an instant with a crack.

"Who goes there?! How dare you provoke me, the Hand of Death, the Messenger of Death?"

Before the Death Messenger, who had been intentionally left behind by Huo Yuhao, realized what was happening, he felt a tremendous force on his waist and was pulled out of the cave.

At this moment, the Grim Reaper realized something was wrong. The opponent was a master who had instantly killed all his men and captured him.

He gritted his teeth and, disregarding the fact that he was also at the center of the explosion, activated his powerful soul skill, "Corpse Explosion," which he was very proud of, in an attempt to escape while Huo Yuhao was distracted by the explosion.

Having made up his mind, the Death Messenger summoned his Soul Ring, and his Soul Power surged forth.

In an instant, everything inside and outside the cave, regardless of size or rottenness, including the corpses of his own recently killed subordinates, swelled up, and a huge and dangerous energy fluctuation erupted from them.

"Hahaha, taste this messenger's corpse explosion technique!"

"So that's how it is, there are such soul skills." Huo Yuhao now understood why he had piled up so many corpses; they were materials for casting soul skills.

Huo Yuhao waved his long gun, and a row of spatial magic was generated everywhere, instantly teleporting away the corpses on the ground that were about to explode.

The surrounding area suddenly felt much more spacious, and even the air felt fresher.

On the empty hillside, only Huo Yuhao and the Grim Reaper's messenger, suspended in mid-air by telekinesis, remained.

fear!

This was the only thought left in the Grim Reaper's mind after seeing Huo Yuhao. In his eyes, Huo Yuhao was the embodiment of fear, radiating a mental aura that suffocated living beings.

Under such pressure, one dared not move their body at all; not to mention escaping, even breathing seemed wrong.

“Death…the Grim Reaper?” The Grim Reaper’s messenger felt as if he had seen the real Grim Reaper.

"Death? Haha, yes, but I'm a kind Death. Now show me the spirit ring of your soul skill, and I'll grant you a quick death." Huo Yuhao commanded with a smile, his spiritual eyes continuously radiating fear.

The novel concept of corpse explosion actually piqued his interest in researching it.

…………

On the other hand, Dai Hao is in a terrible situation.

Inside the White Tiger Camp tent

"Father, first Hua Bin, then Mother, our Dai family must be targeted!" Dai Yueheng's face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse, as if he had cried out until he was exhausted.

"Yueheng, do not grieve. We are on the battlefield now, we cannot..." Dai Hao didn't finish his sentence. He wanted to say that we cannot let our grief disturb the morale of the army.
