Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

"Why isn't anyone saying anything? Everyone, we won 50 gold medals, that's first place... uh... smile..." Wang Yan sensed that something was wrong and tried to break the silence, but the lack of response only made him more embarrassed.

“We…we’re too weak…” Beibei spoke first, her voice filled with resentment at her own lack of strength. “While Yuhao was fighting, we couldn’t even stand up. We could only watch him risk his life alone…”

"That's right!" Xu Sanshi punched his leg. "Just one glance from that god and you're immobilized? What... what has all our cultivation done so far amount to!"

"We...we need to become stronger!" Xiao Xiao clenched her fist and stood up from her seat.

"Become stronger!" Jiang Nannan said, tears welling in her eyes.

"So strong that when we encounter that kind of enemy again, I can fight alongside Yuhao!" He Caitou roared.

"So powerful that even gods can no longer ignore us!" Elder Xuan slammed the wine jug down, causing the entire train carriage to tremble.

"Elder Xuan?! How did you manage to sneak in too?" Wang Yan asked, looking at the old man who had blended into the students.

"We can't keep training like this, just playing around!" Wang Dong was also caught up in the atmosphere, his face full of determination. "Yuhao, teach us how to become stronger!"

“That’s right, Yuhao, let’s not train like before. No matter how painful it is, let’s train us and teach us to become stronger!” Beibei and all the students walked up to Huo Yuhao, who was eating his train meal.

Huo Yuhao's determination to become stronger was so strong that he dropped the spoon from his hand.

"Oh...oh..." Huo Yuhao silently wiped the spoon clean. "Is that so? You want to become stronger...then go for it, become stronger."

As he spoke, he took another bite of food.

"Don't be so perfunctory, say something!" Wang Dong said angrily.

“Alright, in that case. Write the character for ‘turtle’ on Xu Sanshi’s forehead, then throw him out. Find him before the train arrives. Those who can’t find him won’t get to eat. That’s your training,” Huo Yuhao said seriously.

"Why did you throw me out?!" Xu Sanshi's eyes widened.

"Two years have passed since then..."

"Two Years Later Chapter, a Grand Serialized Series!"

"No!" Wang Dong shouted, "Don't pretend to be a narrator! Only two seconds have passed, and we haven't even gotten off the bus yet!"

"Ugh... this is so troublesome, having to train you guys and all that." Huo Yuhao poked at the rice in his bowl with his spoon.

"You actually think it's too much trouble..." Wang Dong puffed up his cheeks in anger, "We're worried about being able to fight alongside you."

"Because it's not suitable, it's not suitable. Do you really think that the traditional hot-blooded style of encountering a powerful enemy and then working hard to cultivate, creating a 3D2Y cultivation story, would suit us? No way, we're not going for that route." Huo Yuhao leaned back lazily in his chair, rambling on with a bunch of nonsense.

"How can you be so unambitious?" Wang Dong said with a look that said, "I really misjudged you."

"In the end, who says you have to go through painful and arduous training to become stronger faster? If you want to train hard, go to the Black Corner Region, go to the Hundred Dynasties War, or go across the 100,000-mile Great Wilderness," Huo Yuhao said indifferently.

"Where would you find these things on the Douluo Continent..." Wang Dong complained.

"Exactly. Compared to all this, I might be better off equipping you with a吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) energy device," Huo Yuhao said casually. "Just do your own thing."

"Honestly, if you don't want to train us, fine. I'll cultivate on my own and become as strong as you!" After saying that, Wang Dong turned his head away.

“I understand, Yuhao,” Beibei suddenly said.

"Ok?"

"You mean we just need to become stronger in our own way, and what suits us best is the best?" Beibei's words were full of sincerity.

"Ah...yes, that's what I meant." Huo Yuhao looked away.

Huo Yuhao really meant it. He had already given them the foundation for becoming stronger, whether it was through cultivation techniques, bloodlines, magic, or other means. Even Huo Yuhao couldn't be sure of their future, so how could he train and teach them?

One must rely on oneself to walk one's own path of cultivation.

Since you've already made up your mind to become stronger, there's no problem.

Shrek City

More than twenty powerful figures with the aura of the eighth ring or above arrived above the city. Among them was a Super Douluo who was very close to the limit. He had a full head of green hair and strong muscles, and could be described as a fierce and powerful figure.

"Dragon God Douluo! I, Poison Undying, am here! Hahaha!" Poison Undying laughed as he charged straight toward Douluo Island, his fighting spirit seemingly at its peak.

As for the defensive formations in the city, Poison Undying certainly saw them, but he didn't believe any of them could withstand his impact.

then,

boom!

The green-skinned creature, which couldn't be killed by poison, was charred black by the explosion.

"What kind of magic array is this? It's so powerful that even I can't get through it!" Du Bu retreated repeatedly, extinguishing the flames burning on his body, wondering if he had come all this way and wouldn't even be able to get through the door.

"Immortal, it's been so many years." Mu En also took to the air to meet the group from the Body Sect. The healthy Mu En was truly invincible, his aura alone directly overwhelming the more than twenty members of the Body Sect.

"I heard you didn't die, and even improved your cultivation. It seems the news was true. The name 'Undying' seems more suitable for you. You really are an immortal old man." Although Poison Undying was shocked, he did not show any fear.

"Putting everything else aside, you came here in such a menacing manner, are you here to cause trouble?" Moon asked.

"How could that be? Of course, I came here to find my long-lost disciple from my original sect," said Poison Undying.

“A lost disciple? Hmph, where would our Shrek City get a lost disciple from the Body Sect?” Mu En said.

"Dragon God, don't play dumb. It's Huo Yuhao, the one with the Spirit Eye Martial Soul. Anyone in the world with a Body Martial Soul is a disciple of my Body Sect, hahaha." Poison Undying laughed, still unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

"What are you talking about?" Moon flashed forward and grabbed Poison Undying's head.

"Wait! What level of cultivation do you have?" Du Busi realized that he couldn't even tell Mu En's current level, only that it must have far surpassed the original Limit Douluo level.

…………

The train slowly pulled into the station.

"Wow, Yuhao, look at the sky! Old Mu is fighting!" Wang Dong pointed to the sky above the city.

Mu En stood in the void, one hand gripping Poison Undying, the other pounding fiercely. The people from the Body Sect around him tried to stop him, but they were intimidated by Mu En's oppressive aura and could not move.

"Green hair, Super Douluo... Is he the Poison Undying of the Body Sect?" Huo Yuhao's mind had already connected with the will of Douluo Star. As long as he knew enough key information, he could easily search for the information he wanted.

It's like a library that has collected knowledge from an entire planet.

However, there are limitations. For example, the higher the cultivation level of the person searching for information, the more private and important the information to be searched, the more difficult it will be to find.

For example, although he can now search for Du Bu Si's name, personality, likes, what he is doing now, and some of his personal stories, he cannot find out the contents of the Body Sect's ancestral secret techniques.

Of course, if he spends some time, he can easily deduce the general content of the secret technique from searchable details such as what the members of the Body Sect have done over the years.

"So that's how it is. You want me to join the Body Sect?" Huo Yuhao immediately understood Poison Undying's intentions.

Chapter 125 Noumenon Sect

"Elder Mu, stop fighting for now." Huo Yuhao used his mental power to guide his body and flew to Mu En's side.

Incidentally, Huo Yuhao could easily fly using only soul power at his current level, but he is more skilled at using mental power.

"Yuhao, you're back." As soon as Mu En saw Huo Yuhao, he put down the poison and resumed his usual kind expression.

"You must be Huo Yuhao!" Poisonous Undying said with a swollen face. "I'm so glad to finally meet you."

"Dragon God! I can't beat you, but my Body Sect absolutely cannot give up on this kid. You can stop me, but can you stop him himself?"

"Huo Yuhao, if you join my Body Sect, I promise you not only the future position of sect leader, but also that you can freely allocate all the sect's resources. I will personally help you hunt for a complete set of soul rings and soul bones. Moreover, my Body Sect has the most suitable awakening secret method for Body Martial Souls. Are you willing to come?" Du Busi roared.

Their Body Sect is currently facing a generational gap, lacking successors to carry on the legacy and leaders to guide the sect into the future. They are absolutely unwilling to give up on a genius like Huo Yuhao.

"Senior, Poison Can't Kill You, take a look at my Martial Soul first, how about that?" Huo Yuhao directly released his Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

His spiritual eyes have undergone multiple transformations through continuous cultivation, and are still in the process of transformation.

Huo Yuhao didn't know how the Body Sect's awakening method worked, but he also had his own researched and developed his own transformation and awakening method.

Moreover, according to his research, the awakening and evolution of a martial soul is not limited to the original martial soul; all martial souls should be able to advance through different methods.

"This is... a second awakening?! How could you... no, it's not quite the same as the awakening secret technique of my Body Sect. Could this be a new technique researched by Shrek Academy?" Poison Undying was shocked. Among the conditions he offered, the one he was most proud of was his Body Sect secret technique.

This is the very foundation upon which his Body Sect stands.

However, is even this secret technique no longer their only option?

Having studied the Body Secret Technique for countless years, he could naturally see that the sophistication of Huo Yuhao's Awakening Technique was no less than that of the Body Secret Technique.

"What can I say? Since you have such a secret technique, we have nothing more valuable to offer." Poison Immortal sighed and turned to leave.

"Wait, Senior Poison Cannot Kill, would you like my secret technique?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"Huh? If I said I wanted it, would you give it to me?" Poison Undying asked back, then hesitated. He suddenly remembered the shared link of the divine realm a few days ago.

"Hahaha, so what if I give it to you?" Without saying another word, Huo Yuhao sent another mental sharing link to Poison Undying.

"This...is given to me?" Du Busi couldn't understand how Huo Yuhao could so casually give away a secret technique that could be passed down for thousands of years.

"Yes, here you go. In exchange, how about you listen to me say a few words?" Huo Yuhao was about to start his persuasive speech, no, his attempt to convince him.

"Alright, alright lad, I'll listen to you." Poison Undying was overjoyed; Huo Yuhao's personality was exactly to his liking. At the same time, he was also incredibly resentful; why hadn't he, Poison Undying, met him first?

"Let's unite the Body Sect and Shrek Academy," Huo Yuhao said, surprising everyone.

"Oh?" Even Mu En raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, not expecting Huo Yuhao to say such a thing. However, he didn't interrupt, knowing that Huo Yuhao must have his reasons.

"Me, cooperating with Shrek Academy? Are you kidding me?" Poisonous Undying's eyes widened; he never imagined anyone would say such a thing.

"We can establish a dedicated Body Spirit Research Institute, with you, Senior Poison Immortal, serving as its dean. This institute will specialize in researching Body Spirits, teaching Body Spirit students, and imparting knowledge about Body Spirits..."

"Stop, stop! Do you know that my Body Sect and Shrek Academy have a long-standing feud?"

"I know."

"Do you know that Moon killed my elder brother?"

"I know."

"Then how dare you say that to me?"

"I know more than just that. I also know that the Body Sect is now very close to the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire and may become the Heavenly Soul Empire's guardian sect," Huo Yuhao said frankly.

"How do you know everything?" Poison Undying was completely stunned.

"Senior Poison Cannot Kill, then let me ask you, why does the Body Sect want to recruit me? For the sake of inheritance, right?"
