Douluo: This time we will rewrite our destiny

After the battle of the Demon Forest, the Sun-Moon Imperial Family immediately began to repair Mingdu and the cities around the Demon Forest. Because of the whole country's efforts and the high development of soul guidance technology, the scars left by the Sun-Moon Empire in this battle are healing at an astonishing speed.

The grassroots soul masters and civilians who were working hard complained less than usual. After all, the good news of the complete demise of the Holy Spirit Church spread among the neighbors and infected everyone. A dark cloud that had been covering their heads dissipated, and everyone had hope for what kind of sky they would see in the future.

Two weeks later, the streets of Mingdu became lively again. A newspaper boy stood at the entrance of the alley in the early morning, shouting at the top of his childish voice, "Holy Spirit Cult Demon Ye Xishui is in jail awaiting trial."

The coming-of-age ceremony for Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen was postponed. In the original plan, the process of the coming-of-age ceremony was not very detailed, after all, it was already determined that it was just the beginning of the conflict with the Holy Spirit Church. This time, Jing Hongchen finally planned to make a big fuss to give his grandchildren a good coming-of-age ceremony.

Xu Tianling was not stingy either. He sent the royal family's artists and designers to Mingde Hall to rebuild the venue and customize the dresses. The empty space that was once a battlefield was cleared, and in addition to the newly built huge venue, several crisscrossing streets were opened.

This was the result of a unanimous discussion among the emperor and his ministers during the court session after the war: in order to commemorate the important milestone of the Sun-Moon Empire's complete liberation from the Holy Spirit Church, the coming-of-age ceremony of the Hongchen brothers and sisters would be the first grand event, and this day of each year would be designated as a public celebration day for the Sun-Moon Empire. Because it falls in late autumn, the festival would be named the Autumn Fire Festival.

This battlefield where the Church of the Holy Spirit is confronted will naturally be called the main venue for every Autumn Fire Festival in the future.

With a new festival to celebrate and a seven-day unified holiday, everyone was naturally in high spirits. Wang Dong ran out of Mingde Hall early in the morning, saying that he would use the scholarship to buy a stall in the best location and sell pills for seven days to make a huge profit.

Xiao Hongchen had a bandage on his forehead and recited his speech in front of the mirror all day long, but he didn't find it boring and would show off from time to time. Xuan Ziwen told Jing Hongchen that there was no need to worry about the young master having a scar on his face. With the current medical level of Mingde Hall, even Liu Xi's arm could be saved, and they would definitely ensure that Xiao Hongchen's wound would not leave even a trace.

Meng Hongchen was more worried about the dance than the speech. She and Xiao were definitely the protagonists of the dance at the festival. Xiao Hongchen loved to dress up since she was a child, and she was very familiar with the palace-style dance steps, but she didn't like it and had never practiced it. She spent a long time adjusting her posture in front of the mirror, but she felt that her dress was awkward everywhere.

Huo Yuhao and Chi Qiu had no shortage of festive attire. When they were in the competition, they had borrowed the identities of bounty hunters from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, so he and Qiu'er's Ice Wolf and Dragon Witch sets came in handy. It was Chi Qiu who suggested participating in the event, as she was very interested in this grand festival of mankind. Huo Yuhao was still hesitant at first, but seeing Qiu'er's enthusiasm, he readily agreed.

Huo Yuhao's previous hesitation was not because he did not want to participate in such a grand celebration, but because of other reasons.

That day, everyone was so immersed in the joy and relief of defeating Long Ye and the others that they did not immediately notice that after Di Tian left, Huo Yuhao had other abnormalities besides his hair growing longer. Later, it was Chi Qiu who noticed it first.

"Hey, Yuhao." At that time, Chi Qiu said while gathering up his black hair, "What's going on with your left hand...?"

Huo Yuhao lowered his head and found that the scales on his left hand had not completely disappeared. The scales had lost the golden edges that represented Emperor Tian and turned into the same pure black as his hair, clinging tightly to his skin.

He could not help but be stunned, and took out a small mirror from the Mingyu Ring to observe the marks on his face. There was nothing wrong with his face, it was intact, and his green eyes were shining with a faint silver light, like a misty lake. There was no trace of Di Tian's gold left.

“Could it be that this is something that Senior Di Tian left for me?” Huo Yuhao guessed, and suddenly became a little excited. However, he did not dare to test it directly in front of everyone.

He and Chi Qiu exchanged a glance, and the latter immediately understood what he meant. She pulled out two rolls of bandages from the storage soul guide and wrapped his left arm tightly. On the way back to the imperial city, everyone asked him if his left arm was seriously injured, and he could only respond with this statement.

Only Yin Shuang took one look at his tightly wrapped arms and immediately gave him a meaningful look.

"Di Tian really has high hopes for you," she said.

“Senior Yinshuang,” Huo Yuhao leaned forward and lowered his voice, “What did you see?”

"Oh... just use it." She replied, "Just use it as an external spirit bone. But, you did really well this time. If I were Di Tian, ​​I would also like to help you."

Huo Yuhao could not help but feel extremely curious about the power of this gift. Then, during several emergency meetings in the Imperial City, he participated in the discussions as the Imperial Master appointed by Xu Tianling, but he was somewhat distracted.

“…at the Autumn Fire Festival, the Evil Emperor will hold a ceremony to award medals to the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Corps. Next, as a glorious army, the Evil Lord Soul Instructor Corps will be responsible for searching and eliminating the remnants of evil soul masters. The angels of the Worship Hall will fight alongside you.” Xu Tianling’s voice rang in Huo Yuhao’s ears.

"I will definitely fulfill my mission." Wang Yiheng, the leader of the Evil King Soul Instructor Group, stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

“Wait a minute,” Huo Yuhao regained his composure. “Your Highness, based on my recent visits and investigations, the evil soul masters in the Holy Spirit Church’s headquarters deserve to be wiped out; however, some of the evil soul masters in other branches may have been brainwashed and coerced, and there is still room for redemption. Many people are also worried about their relatives who were abducted by the Holy Spirit Church. I suggest that we treat them separately to minimize the occurrence of tragedies.”

Xu Tianling nodded: "Since this is Yuhao's suggestion after the investigation, then let's do it. The specific search and rescue matters will be arranged by you, Captain Wang."

"Yes." said Wang Yiheng.

The reason for saying this was because Huo Yuhao remembered something. During the competition, the bounty hunter named Bai Tan from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce helped him a lot, and she mentioned her sister who disappeared because of the Holy Spirit Church. He would not forget these favors, and he would definitely do what he promised.

Xu Tianling then arranged a series of matters, basically about foreign policy. He planned to stabilize border relations first, release the students and teachers that Xu Tianran had detained before, and buy more time for domestic reorganization and development. Huo Yuhao also thought of this, which was why he asked the Evil Emperor to stay for a while longer. With the Evil Emperor openly supporting the Sun Moon Empire, Douluo Three Kingdoms would have to consider more.

After the meeting, Huo Yuhao couldn't wait to call Chi Qiu to go to the familiar woods outside the school to conduct experiments. When he walked into the woods, he felt a little nostalgic. This place was the starting point of his story about the Sun Moon Empire, and it also witnessed his growth along the way.

"What kind of power do you think it will be?" Chi Qiu leaned against a tree, crossed his arms and looked at his left hand after removing the bandage.

“It’s definitely not something like the Dragon King Claw. I heard that it can’t be passed on to others, and it doesn’t match my fighting style.” Huo Yuhao also looked at his left hand, and finally clenched his fist. “You’ll know after you try it.”

Then he punched the tree next to him. He controlled the force and the tree broke.

“Is it really just this kind of simple increase in power?” Huo Yuhao was a little puzzled. “In fact, the force required to knock down a tree has become much smaller.” “Unlikely.” Chi Qiu shook his head. “Let’s test it.”

As she spoke, she raised her hand, and the tree was enveloped by a layer of golden light. The golden dragon spear in Chi Qiu's hand hummed: "I have provided it with a huge amount of shielding. Now, you can release it regardless of the power."

Huo Yuhao nodded and immediately gathered his strength. A black and white glow flashed between the scales. For a moment, Huo Yuhao felt as if the surrounding space was about to collapse with that glow as the singularity.

He punched the tree. However, the moment his fist touched Chi Qiu's shield, his face changed drastically, and he hastily retracted his strength. For a moment, he could not control the inertia, and his whole body fell together with the tree trunk. Chi Qiu hurriedly trotted over and pulled him up.

"What's going on?" she asked.

"Do you feel the pressure of being attacked?" Huo Yuhao asked her.

"I find it strange, too." Chi Qiu said, "I didn't feel you attack."

“Right.” Huo Yuhao looked at his left hand. “I didn’t feel like I hit your shield, but I went straight through it. That’s why I got scared. If that punch hadn’t been consumed and had hit the tree, at least this whole forest would have been blown up into the sky…”

"My power is not something that can be easily acquired." She looked at the tree in confusion. "When I was a child, I trained with Di Tian. Although Di Tian must have let me off, if I defended with all my strength, he would at least have to spend some effort, not without any obstacles. What's more, I now have the blood of the Golden Dragon King."

"let me see."

Huo Yuhao stared at the tree, circled it twice, and then squatted down to look at the growth rings of the broken end. After counting the growth rings, he finally clapped his hands. "I see," he said, "rather than going straight through it, it's more like your shield wasn't in the path of my attack at all."

"What does it mean?"

Huo Yuhao raised his hand, and the Moonlight Blade flew into his palm. He cut a white space crack, threw a leaf into it, and then blocked the path that the leaf was supposed to take with his hand. The leaf naturally flew out from the other side of the crack, and had nothing to do with his hand.

“That’s exactly what I mean.” Huo Yuhao said, “This claw scale… may be able to distort a certain amount of time and space. The example just given was about space. As for the time part, look at this.”

He showed Chi Qiu the growth rings of the broken surface. The part of the trunk that was hit had dozens more growth rings than the naturally broken part, making it look bulging and bloated, as if the tree had a tumor.

"But shouldn't Di Tian only have the power of space?"

Huo Yuhao was silent for a while before he said, “Qiu’er, do you still remember that day in Qiankun Questioning Love Valley? The silver figure that flew out from my heart. … At the moment, it is hard to explain in a few words, but when he left the top of the tower, he merged his essence into the Soul Slashing Blade and became the sword soul that protected me. When Senior Di Tian descended upon me, he used his power for the first time in order to protect my meridians. And his soul, for some inexplicable reasons, has the attributes of time and space.”

Chi Qiu looked at him for a while before saying, "Such a big thing..."

Huo Yuhao raised his hands in surrender: "Apart from this, I really didn't hide anything from Qiu'er. It's just this. It's not that I don't want to explain it clearly, but I really can't explain it clearly. Regarding that day... If you want to understand it thoroughly, I'm afraid you have to reach another realm. When I have figured it out, I will definitely explain it to you in detail."

"I knew you would say that." Chi Qiu squeezed his raised hand, "Yuhao, you usually only talk about things that you have figured out and have solutions for. You are always reluctant to speak out about things you don't understand, for fear of causing trouble for others."

"That's indeed what I am saying..." Huo Yuhao looked at her with helpless eyes.

"That means you have your own ideas and you can always figure it out in the end." Chi Qiu said, "Otherwise you would probably get yourself hurt."

“Maybe it’s because I believe I can handle it, right?” Huo Yuhao smiled. “If I didn’t have this confidence, I might have to ask for help. … Anyway, that’s the thing. I’m afraid that the time and space attribute is combined with Senior Di Tian’s space attribute, so it is amplified. If I can control it well, it should be of great use.”

"I think it's better to use this less before your account is banned." Chi Qiu said, "It seemed like you couldn't control it just now. Speaking of which, you should be about to reach the eighth ring now, right?"

“I’ll be there soon.” Huo Yuhao nodded. “After this visit from Senior Di Tian, ​​my soul power has basically reached the bottleneck of level 80, and I haven’t done any serious work to rebuild it yet. If I practice a little bit in the next few days, I should be able to make considerable progress.”

After saying this, he raised his left hand covered with scales. He closed his eyes, felt the power in it, and let the black and white light flow as much as possible along with his soul power and mental power. He wanted to master this gift.

However, in this feeling, he suddenly realized that this gift was more than that. He concentrated his mind and used all his mental power to perceive its mystery. Chi Qiu looked at him with surprise: She saw that the scales on Huo Yuhao's left arm disintegrated little by little, and these black pieces of armor flowed to his shoulder blades and grew again behind him - turning into a pair of huge bone wings.

“Wings?” She asked in surprise. “Soul Sages and above can fly. These wings should have other abilities…”

Before she finished her words, the pair of black bone wings disintegrated again and returned to Huo Yuhao's arms. Huo Yuhao himself stood there as if frozen, his eyes full of disbelief.

"This thing... I'm afraid it can only be used after the title is really granted," he said, "I guess Senior Di Tian's original intention was not this. He probably only wanted to give me the ability of space. But because the attribute of time in that soul was integrated, so..."

"so?"

Huo Yuhao looked at his left arm: "If you, Qiu'er, didn't notice what just happened, it means that my time stopped for less than a second." (End of this chapter)
