Douluo: This time we will rewrite our destiny

The second volunteer was a loyal soldier of the Evil Lord Soul Mentor Corps, who was in the bottleneck period of breaking through the Five-Ring Soul King, and the object of the contract was also a member of the Evil Eye Clan who was about to reach ten thousand years of cultivation. This group also went very smoothly, and everything went as Huo Yuhao expected, until the volunteers completed one-third of the work, he temporarily stopped and welcomed questions from all walks of life.

"If you want to popularize a new technology, you must first control the cost." Jing Hongchen said, "In my opinion, the biggest cost of your contract is the extra person to chant the spell. How do you solve the manpower problem? Can the spell be popularized?"

“I will soon make some of the spells public.” Huo Yuhao nodded. “Soul masters below the sixth ring and soul beasts below ten thousand years of cultivation need to use contract masters like me as intermediaries to assist in the contract. Spiritual soul masters starting from the third ring can learn the contract by themselves. The threshold for soul beasts is higher. After all, the intelligence level of thousand-year soul beasts is not enough to learn spells.”

"Training for contract masters will soon begin through the Spiritual Contract Sect. We welcome any spiritual soul master of any level and soul beasts with a cultivation level of ten thousand years or above who are also interested to sign up. The scope of a contract master's responsibility is his own level of cultivation and below."

Jing Hongchen nodded slightly, indicating that he was fine.

"How do we resolve malicious acts of harm?" A soul beast scholar from another city in the Sun Moon Empire stood up. "Over the years, soul beasts and humans have accumulated a lot of grievances. Although we have seen many soul beasts and humans willing to move forward hand in hand through equal contracts, it is inevitable that some extremists want to take malicious revenge. How do we ensure the safety of both parties? How do we punish those with malicious intent?"

"good question."

Huo Yuhao turned to him. "What you said is a question that the fierce beasts asked me a similar question when I was giving a lecture in the Star Dou Great Forest a long time ago. I didn't have a concrete idea at that time, but now I should be able to answer you."

"First, I have made some improvements to the spell. If you kill the contract object with your own hands, all the benefits obtained from the contract, including the spirit ring, will disappear, and you will also suffer a certain degree of backlash. However, if the contract object dies accidentally or naturally, there will be no such punishment. The spirit ring will return to a dead spirit ring, and the spirit power in the spirit beast will no longer increase."

"Since some humans and beasts may intentionally create 'accidents', we will establish the same regulatory agencies on both the soul beast and human sides, responsible for investigating and judging the behavior of both parties. Crimes will be determined by both parties, and in order to avoid the protection of the same kind, human criminals will be handed over to the soul beast regulatory organization for execution, and soul beast criminals will be handed over to the human regulatory organization for the same reason."

"The human regulatory agency will be managed by a portion of the Lingqi Sect. Please rest assured that we will not be nepotistic. This is the common development of human soul masters, and we will ensure that all countries and all walks of life can participate."

"Soul beasts, according to my previous discussions with soul beasts from all parties, this organization will be jointly established by the ten fierce beasts and the emperor's auspicious beasts, so you can rest assured."

The soul beast scholar sat down to think. After a while, another person raised his hand:
"How many soul beasts can one person sign contracts with?"

“Any number is fine,” Huo Yuhao said with a smile. “Similarly, soul beasts can also make contracts with many humans at the same time. However, a human martial soul can only have nine soul rings. In this regard, soul beasts have a slight advantage in terms of the number of contracts they can make.”

"Are these soul bones given normally?"

"Yes, the probability is the same as that brought by hunting, or even slightly higher."

"But is it impossible to obtain the secret soul bone?"

Huo Yuhao’s tone became a little heavier: “After the contract, the soul bones can be naturally integrated. We no longer need such a cruel and bloody product.”

"Question," a newspaper editor said, "I am a human external controller. If I fall in love with my soul beast partner, I will not want to make contracts with other soul beasts. In this case, how should I deal with my subsequent cultivation?"

Even Huo Yuhao spent some effort to tighten his lips. He replied:

"Don't worry. Your soul beast companion can provide you with all subsequent soul rings, but the quality will be limited to its cultivation. At the same time, if you need a sense of ritual, you can also choose to conclude a deeper lifelong contract, but this contract can only be performed by a contract master with a higher spiritual cultivation."

"I still have questions..."

The questioning lasted for about two hours, and Huo Yuhao patiently answered most of the questions one by one, even analyzing and explaining some detailed personal needs. At the end, most of the people in the audience had satisfied expressions on their faces. Even the various audience groups that were hostile at the beginning had now mostly forgotten their hostility and focused on thinking about the new future of soul masters and soul beasts.

When the second group of volunteers came up, Dai Luoli looked quite dazed. When he was brought to the Sun Moon Empire by his brother, he didn't know what he was going to do. He only knew that Huo Yuhao was going to help him get promoted, and he thought it was hunting soul beasts. When Huo Yuhao arranged for him to be a volunteer, he didn't understand much, and it was always difficult for him to listen to the lectures.

However, today at the scene, nervousness made him concentrate, and he finally understood what his brother in the Sun and Moon Empire was doing.

When he was young, he limited the concept of proving himself to Dai Hao, so the best way he could think of was to join the army. Growing up in the army and becoming a general as strong as Dai Hao, or even stronger than Dai Hao, was proving himself - if he hadn't met Huo Yuhao that day, perhaps he would have been stuck in it forever, unable to get out.

Now, at this moment, he had a new concept of proving himself. It would be better to say that the image of "hero" in his mind was no longer just the silhouette of Dai Hao on the battlefield, but also the image of Huo Yuhao making an impassioned speech on the stage.

No wonder his brother seemed to be thinking about the issues between countries, but he didn't seem to care too much emotionally. The reason was this: what Huo Yuhao wanted to do had transcended national boundaries.

In a trance, Huo Yuhao held his shoulders and asked him with a smile if he was willing to trust his soul beast friend and make a contract. He looked at the three-eyed black tiger he was familiar with, then looked at Huo Yuhao, and felt dizzy because of his smile.

"Brother," he said, "you are a hero. I want to learn from you. I want to be like you."

Huo Yuhao patted his head gently. "You already are," he said. "Don't underestimate yourself. You are a hero. You saved your mother and yourself."

The volunteer activity started in the afternoon and lasted until the night. The lights in Mingdu were just coming on, and the soul guide lights covering the city decorated the ground like a starry sky. The Douluo Three Kingdoms, whose soul guide technology was still used in military industry, was a little shocked at this moment.

The last person to go on stage was Yin Yun—as it should have been. However, when it was his turn, he lowered his voice and said to Huo Yuhao in the backstage:

"Senior, I don't want to go anymore."

“What’s wrong?” Huo Yuhao was a little surprised. “Is there a reason? It’s okay, you can just tell me.”

"I'm afraid an accident will have a bad impact on you." Yin Yun hesitated, but when he saw that it was almost his turn, he still said it, "My martial soul has been acting strangely lately, and I feel very uncomfortable. I'm afraid something will happen on stage. If I hurt the soul beast, or cause a backlash, your work today will be in vain."

"I understand. Do as you wish." Huo Yuhao nodded and looked at him, his eyes of all spirits opening silently. He quickly observed Yin Yun's condition and found that his soul power was functioning normally, and his martial soul was intact. If there was anything wrong, it could only be caused by the strange mutation.

However, now is not the time to investigate this matter. He put his hand on Yin Yun's shoulder: "After the meeting, remind me of your matter. Remember to find me." "Senior, it's okay if I don't bother you," Yin Yun's voice became softer, "I used to feel uncomfortable sometimes, but it got better after a while. I feel that you are very busy, I just don't want to trouble you."

“No trouble.” Huo Yuhao said, “I’m very interested in your situation. Remember to look for me.”

He still remembered that Di Tian said that the Moonlight Blade was an out-of-this-world item. The earthquake in Luoyue City that caused the Yinyun incident was related to the Holy Spirit Church, and the Moonlight Blade was a trophy he seized from the Holy Spirit Church. Everything pointed in the same direction.

Perhaps, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao can give him an explanation.

He cancelled Yin Yun's contract, made a closing speech in advance, announced the end of the conference, and announced that the audience group would have three days to stay in a specific area of ​​Mingdu to study with the contract master or ask him questions.

After the meeting, as soon as he stepped down from the stage, a man rushed down from the audience and blocked his way. The soul guide in charge of security immediately raised his soul guide to this man, but Huo Yuhao raised his hand to signal them not to be nervous.

"Beibei, you're here?"

The person who came was Bei Bei. Huo Yuhao guessed that he didn't hear much of the important content, and there was nothing else in his mind except Tang Ya. The only way to make this guy think normally again was to let him meet Tang Ya.

"Yuhao, can I...can I see her now?"

“Okay,” Huo Yuhao said, “Come with me. And by the way, tell Dean Yan that if he wants to see Ye Xishui, he should wait for me here tomorrow.”

He led Beibei through the venue, around the main hall and dormitory of Lingqi Gate, and into a small room surrounded by herbs in the back hill. Entering the herb garden, even Beibei could feel that the life of these herbs was being sucked in one direction.

Huo Yuhao pushed open the door of the small bungalow. Tang Ya was lying quietly on the bed, her face calm, as if she was asleep. Bei Bei immediately rushed over to her. He trembled as he touched her cold skin until he felt her weak pulse and the barely detectable airflow under her nose. Then he slowly bent down and collapsed beside Tang Ya.

"Xiao Ya..." He kept murmuring. All his regrets, pain, longing and love intertwined together and flowed towards her along with the life of the herbs, but they were also unable to wake her up at all.

"The saintly personality that Zhongli Wu created became ineffective when he was arrested. However, Tang Ya's original consciousness has been cut off for too long and cannot be reconnected to her body. She cannot control the flow of soul power in her body. If she is awakened by force, she will only explode and die."

Beibei's helpless voice came from between his arms: "What should I do? Can I still save her?"

"Her martial spirit is Blue Silver Grass. If we can find a suitable contracted spirit beast, we will naturally have a chance to reestablish the connection. As long as we can connect her consciousness to her body, the rest will be easy for me. After all, your blood was almost drained out, and I dragged you back from the brink of death."

"I'll look for it... I'll look for it. Thank you, Yuhao."

Bei Bei slowly got up, turned around, and tried to salute Huo Yuhao, but his legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees. Huo Yuhao stretched out a hand to steady him:
"Look at what you look like now, Beibei. Now that you know how to save her, can you live a good life? Do you want her to see you like this when she wakes up?"

"I……"

“Eat well, sleep well, and live well.” Huo Yuhao patted him on the shoulder, “Only when you are alive can you have hope. Torturing yourself is the most irresponsible thing.”

"...I understand," Beibei said, "Thank you so much."

Huo Yuhao walked him to the gate of Lingqi Sect. Under the moonlight, he saw a thin and tall figure standing by the gate, watching him. He said goodbye to Beibei first, then turned around and talked to her.

"Hello, Julu," he said.

"Hello, Huo Yuhao," she said. "It's been a long time since we last met. You seem to be doing well."

"Yes," Huo Yuhao smiled, "You are probably not feeling well."

"Normally," she said. "My family wanted to wait until the disabled child of the Dai family was appointed as the third young master so that I could remarry and become a child bride, but I refused. I had a quarrel with them, but I didn't have the courage to leave home. I cried for a while, and the next day they said Dai Luoli was missing, so I didn't have to remarry."

Huo Yuhao nodded as if he had heard it. He didn’t know what to say, but he also knew that he was in no position to comment.

"They said that Dai Luoli ran away because he hated Dai Hao. I admired him very much because he saved me, but I didn't have the courage to escape. I continued to go to school at Shrek. At first, when I visited Dai Huabin's grave, I felt that my fate was very tragic, so I cried bitterly. But later, I began to think about the reasons why we ended up like this."

"I heard that he beat a concubine to death, but he didn't care, thinking that those who were lowly and annoying should die. I thought he was right at first, because I would definitely be his legal wife. The day I quarreled with my parents, I realized that if I left my parents, the man who made me his legal wife and his family, how much better would I be than the woman he beat to death?"

"Killing someone means paying with one's life. That's what I thought at first, but...but. Huo Yuhao, answer me a question. Was it you who did everything to Dai Huabin? Wasn't it some Douling soldier who killed him?"

"It's me." Huo Yuhao admitted frankly.

"Huo Yun'er is the concubine's name, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay," Zhu Lu said, "I've gotten over it. I won't tell the Zhu family or the Dai family. I don't have the courage to become the fuse of a war. I won't bother you again. Goodbye."

“Goodbye,” Huo Yuhao said, “I hope you can get out of the shadow of your family, even though it has nothing to do with me anymore.” (End of this chapter)
