Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 21: The First Tower Master's Admonitions

"As members of the Spirit Pagoda, we must remember that we must not let our love minds wander. We must remember the reason for the Spirit Hall's demise. The Spirit Hall was destroyed not because of its strength, but because of the many peculiar individuals who were obsessed with love."

"If a younger generation member develops a love-sick mind and falls madly in love with someone from another faction, and the elders are unable to cure him, we suggest that he be handed over to the soul beast party for physical therapy! At the same time, such a person is prohibited from becoming a high-ranking official in the Spirit Pagoda!"

Hua Yichen stood on the podium, read the contents of the book word for word, put down the book "The Instructions of the First Tower Master" in his hand, and looked at Huo Yuhao who was sitting at the bottom.

"Yuhao, do you understand? In a few days, you will enter the academy. If you have a girl you like, you must remain rational and not reveal your feelings. Or you can directly bring her to the Spirit Pagoda. Otherwise, no matter how high your talent is, you will have no chance of rising to the top."

"You may not understand, but the soul beasts on the Spirit Pagoda take the Spirit Pagoda very seriously, fearing we'll follow in the Spirit Hall's footsteps. They truly rely on physical therapy to keep the Spirit Pagoda's younger generation sober and rational. Some may complain about this, but as long as it doesn't damage the foundation, most people will support it."

Having said this, Hua Yichen changed his voice and said:
"When Tianfeng Douluo, one of the current deputy tower masters, and her sister were young, they both liked Qingtian Douluo. Her sister almost fell into the evil spirit master because of this."

"Fortunately, due to the teachings of the first Tower Master, the Spirit Pagoda has always paid close attention to this aspect. The Leng Family Patriarch discovered the signs of trouble in time and directly detained Tianfeng Douluo's sister. In a rage, he handed her over to the Snow Empress and had her stay in the Far North for ten years. No one knows what happened during her journey."

"After coming out, she hugged Tianfeng Douluo and cried bitterly. She seemed to have become normal again and never said she liked Qingtian Douluo again. However, even so, she was not qualified to become a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda. Tianfeng Douluo was not so outrageous and became the deputy tower master."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

If it was still the original plot, she would probably cry because the misunderstanding was resolved.

Are you sure Tianfeng Douluo is truly normal? He was the love-brained man who said he wanted to be Qingtian Douluo's mistress. Maybe he's just been restrained by the high-pressure policy...

Huo Yuhao’s thoughts wandered for a moment, then shifted to the most important point.

After all, he understood all these principles, but who could tell him what the name of the book meant? Was this his admonition?
He never left such a book, nor did he say that he would hand people over to soul beasts for punishment...

"Tianmeng, Bingdi, I shouldn't have given you any warnings, right?"

Bingdi: "Yuhao, have you forgotten? This is a revised version, or an upgraded version, of what you taught Su Tong. The part about the demise of the Spirit Hall was your original words."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Sorry, I remembered it.

Worried about the death of the Spirit Pagoda II, he held Su Tong to very high standards, educating her and correcting her thoughts. After all, looking at the major forces in the original Douluo, how many high-ranking officials weren't in love? This was the Love Continent...

But he didn't expect that Su Tong would turn what he said into a warning, and pass it down, and it became something he had to learn.

This is...God has his own way, no one can escape it?

It's outrageous.

Tian Meng said uncertainly, "As for handing it over to the soul beast... it must have been created by the elders of the Spirit Pagoda later to scare people, right? How could Snow Empress and Emperor Tian have the time to manage a bunch of juniors? It's just that that Sky Phoenix Douluo's sister is too rebellious, and she walked into the trap."

Despite the ancestral teachings, he actually loved someone so much that he almost became an evil soul master. If it were him, he would also throw people to soul beasts to train them well!

Huo Yuhao felt strange in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just looked at Hua Yichen and said, "Teacher Hua, can you let me see that book?"

"It's prepared for you. Only the core disciples of the Spirit Pagoda can read it. After all, some of the ideas in it are somewhat unorthodox in the eyes of ordinary people."

Hua Yichen handed it to Huo Yuhao, who opened it and took a look, and found that they were indeed modified versions of what he had said. He was speechless and felt a little nostalgic.

That girl Su Tong...if I have the chance, I'll have a good talk with her.

After instilling in Huo Yuhao the horrors of falling in love, Hua Yichen planned to take him to the training ground to teach him practical combat.

Over the past three years, he also discovered that Huo Yuhao didn't need to worry about cultivation and absorbing knowledge and experience, as the other party learned very quickly.

Strictly speaking, actual combat is not necessary, but Hua Yichen would feel ashamed as a teacher if he didn't show it.

Looking at Huo Yuhao calmly dodging under his attacks that suppressed his strength, Hua Yichen sighed inwardly.

At the age of nine, after taking the Soul-Boosting Pill, his soul power had reached the peak of level thirty-two, and his mental power had even reached the Spiritual Sea Realm, which made him not know how to report it.

And as for the Young Talents List that he mentioned in the past, where should he rank Huo Yuhao?

The opponent is still young, and some soul masters have experienced rapid progress in their early training, but difficulty in making any progress in the later stages. Although he is confident that Huo Yuhao will not encounter a similar situation, he cannot send him directly to a position too far forward.

Just choose one from the top ten.

"Tower Master, President Li is here to visit!"

At this time, a staff member knocked on the door and reported one after another.

"What is he doing here?" Hua Yichen was stunned at first, then he reacted and looked at Huo Yuhao.

That's right, with two secondary professions at level three, it's no surprise that Li Yucheng couldn't sit still. ...

The reception room on the top floor of the Spirit Pagoda was simple and comfortable, with a dark brown wooden conference table in the middle and off-white double sofas on both sides. Li Yucheng sat on one of the sofas.

"Master Hua, where is Huo Yuhao's secondary professional teacher?"

Seeing Hua Yichen walk into the reception room, Li Yucheng stood up and said anxiously, "I want to meet him. How did he teach Huo Yuhao? How could he..."

Huo Yuhao walked out from behind Hua Yichen, causing Li Yucheng to stop talking. His expression became a little awkward, and his eyes began to wander.

Speaking ill of his teacher in front of the main person would probably leave a bad first impression.

Hua Yichen smiled, dispelling the awkward atmosphere, and sat opposite Li Yucheng with Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao is self-taught and has no teacher for his secondary profession... If I had to say, the mecha builders and mecha designers in this Spirit Transferring Tower are all his teachers."

Li Yucheng raised his eyebrows, feeling that it was as he expected.

He was saying, who wouldn't cherish a genius? Let him waste his talent?
But in this case, it was Huo Yuhao's own decision...

Li Yucheng looked at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression and said solemnly, "I am Li Yucheng, the president of the East Sea City Mecha Engineer Association, and a Level 8 Mecha Builder. Huo Yuhao, I've seen your work many times. I must remind you that excess is as bad as deficiency. Only by focusing on one thing can you reach the pinnacle of perfection!"

"Thank you for your concern, but I am just digging deep into the areas I am good at. I am not wasting my talent." Huo Yuhao shook his head.

He has always been clear about what he is good at.

"You want to follow the path of soul masters from ten thousand years ago, right? But you have to understand that things are different now than they were in the past."

Upon hearing this, Li Yucheng sighed and said, "In the past, soul masters could take care of forging, design, manufacturing, maintenance, and even combat. But now the knowledge base of each system is too vast. If you want to take this path... it's too difficult."

The soul masters of ten thousand years ago were just a group of beasts in the eyes of people today, and they were terrifying beings with their own internal conflicts that were outrageous.

Wouldn’t they be tired if one person did so many things?

A bunch of Roll Kings, no wonder they can suppress Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek...

"I just want to complete a soul guide of my own."

Huo Yuhao said a name that surprised Hua Yichen and the others.

"Silver Moon Douluo, have you heard of this, Guild Master?"

……

"I didn't expect that it would be His Majesty Ling Bing who came to see me in the end. As the master of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, not to mention being busy with affairs, you don't have much free time, right? Why would you come to see someone's end?"

An old voice, tinged with self-mockery, emanated from the large sickbed. The once high-spirited Silver Moon Douluo had now reached old age.

Huo Yuhao, standing in the shadow of the corner, had a complicated look in his eyes.

"Master Kong, won't this life-defining soul guide be passed down?"

"My descendants don't have the talent of His Majesty Ling Bing, so they can't do it."

Kong Deming shook his head and looked at Huo Yuhao with his cloudy eyes.

If the other party had spent the time he spent on martial arts training on soul guides, he might have been able to go further than him.

But even if the other party had wasted his energy on other aspects, after the accumulation of time, he would still be the only soul guide in this world who could discuss the Dao with him. If he had joined the Sun-Moon Empire in the past... it would really be a pity.

Kong Deming sighed, "Besides, the war is over, and the empire is victorious. After that, soul masters will have no enemies and will only delve into their favorite fields and indulge in research."

"In the end, I'm afraid the profession of soul mentor will completely become synonymous with researcher. Everyone will have their own areas of expertise, but it won't be as comprehensive as it is now."

"And if I want my own soul guide to suit me, I can't rely on others. At least I have to design and manufacture it myself. I have a premonition that when this kind of soul guide falls into decline, the prototype of the battle armor you developed will be more likely to flourish."

Huo Yuhao looked at Kong Deming and said in a low voice, "Then, how about I inherit it?"

Kong Deming was stunned.

Huo Yuhao continued with a smile, "In the name of... the Spirit Transferring Pagoda!"

Kong Deming was silent for a while, then laughed and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you!"
