Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 44: Silent Strength, Then Wiping Out the Enemy's Entire Family
Outside the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Huo Yuhao stood outside, dressed in a dark silver patterned ice silk trench coat. The hem of the coat flowed like cold mist, and the surface of the robe faintly reflected a ghostly blue luster from the ice crystals. His temperament remained aloof and cold, giving people a sense that strangers should not approach him.

Of course, it would be even better if that elegant yet slightly playful little girl wasn't by my side.

"Yuhao, which spirit beast do you want to choose as your third spirit ring?"

Meng Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao's profile with a doting smile and asked with some curiosity.

"Well, we have some options, but we'll have to wait until we get to the Jingyang Mountains to make a decision on the specifics."

He still decided to acquire a soul beast with metal control abilities for his third soul ring, since the advantage of this ability in terms of soul tools was too obvious.

Of course, it would be best if a soul beast could possess both metal control and mental attributes.

That's still a bit greedy. Soul beasts with the ability to control metal are already rare, and to want them to mutate into spiritual attributes makes them just as difficult and rare as the Elemental Silver Wolf King.

Huo Yuhao's ideal choice was actually Xiao Hongchen's three-legged golden toad. However, the wild habitat of this kind of soul beast is usually located near areas with high concentrations of metal ore veins.

It's still very difficult to find a product that fits all the criteria, including the age limit.

The location for this soul hunt is the Jingyang Mountains, southwest of the Mingdu capital of the Sun Moon Empire.

This place not only possesses extremely rich mineral resources, but also gives rise to many special metal-attribute soul beasts, as well as a considerable number of spirit-type soul beasts.

The Jingyang Mountains and the Demon Forest are adjacent, and the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult is located in the Demon Forest. However, with Jing Hongchen protecting them this time, the three of them are not worried about encountering any trouble.

Watching his younger sister talk to Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen curled his lip and pretended not to see it. He was not a third wheel.

"How are the preparations going?"

When Jing Hongchen appeared, he looked at his grandson and granddaughter and Huo Yuhao, whose relationship was becoming increasingly close, and pursed his lips almost imperceptibly.

"Grandpa (the dean)."

With a wave of his hand, Jing Hongchen took out a flying soul tool and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"I will protect you secretly as you acquire the spirit rings this time, but I will not appear unless absolutely necessary. Everything depends on the cooperation of the three of you. Do you understand?"

The three looked at each other and naturally had no objections.

"In that case, let's go."

Led by Jing Hongchen, Huo Yuhao and his two companions quickly arrived at the outer edge of the Jingyang Mountains. Just as they had said, Jing Hongchen hid in the shadows after arriving at the location and would not make a move unless they encountered a life-or-death crisis.

Of course, Dean Hongchen's reputation is beyond reproach, and he would never be like the Holy Spirit Cult's Grand Elder, who always manages to cause a near-total annihilation for his own side when leading a team.

"Let's take a rest first."

Arriving at the Jingyang Mountains was easy, but finding a suitable soul beast for themselves would require considerable effort for the three of them.

Fortunately, there is still more than a month before they set off to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition, so there is still plenty of time.

Huo Yuhao took out the ingredients from the Star Ring and began cooking on the spot.

Wow, Yuhao, you can actually cook?

"Seriously, Yuhao? Why didn't you say you had this skill sooner?"

The two siblings curiously gathered around; this was the first time they had seen Huo Yuhao display his skills, preparing to cook ingredients in the wild.

"Don't be so surprised. As you know, I'm an orphan. I even traveled all the way from Xingluo Run to Riyue by myself. If I didn't know how to cook, how would I have survived as a child? And I wouldn't be talking to you here now."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen fell silent. He knew Huo Yuhao's background very well, which was why he didn't know what to say for a moment.

She glanced up at Huo Yuhao. Perhaps this was why Yuhao, despite possessing such extraordinary talent, still cultivated relentlessly every day.

Compared to Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen was much more sentimental, immediately taking Huo Yuhao's hand. "Yuhao~"

"Stop!"

Huo Yuhao isn't trying to elicit sympathy. To be honest, all those childhood experiences were his own. Although he was also an orphan, I don't really think there's anything to sympathize with about them.

Needless to say, the cheesy stuff is ridiculous. Only the weak dwell on the past; the strong silently grow strong and then wipe out their enemies' entire families.

The two siblings smiled at Huo Yuhao's actions; this was the right way, the Yuhao they knew.

However, no matter what, if Yuhao seeks revenge in the future, they will definitely be the first to lend a hand.

Before long, Huo Yuhao had finished cooking all the ingredients he had taken out from the storage soul tool. For some reason, even though it was a normal cooking method, the food tasted inexplicably delicious after he made it.

Perhaps this is the power of my thinking.

"Alright, I also made some grilled fish, come and have a taste."

Having smelled the aroma long ago, the two siblings couldn't wait and started eating immediately.

"It smells so good. Although it's not very refined, the taste is inexplicably to my liking. It tastes like the taste of my childhood."

"I don't care, I'm going to eat until I can't walk anymore today. Yuhao, you have to feed me well from now on."

Huo Yuhao chuckled and shook his head. "That's too exaggerated. I didn't think these ingredients were emitting any golden light. How could I be hallucinating from eating them?"

"Speaking of which, when I first enrolled in the Royal Soul Master Academy, if it weren't for the help of the dean and the director, I would have been planning to set up a stall to sell grilled fish."

An orphan in the unfamiliar Sun Moon Empire, if it weren't for Lin Jiayi, he really wouldn't know how he would have survived in the academy.

It's true that the other party values ​​my talent, but the help they provide is also genuine.

Compared to the difficult time Huo endured in the early stages of Shrek Academy, he had already had a perfect start.

Jing Hongchen, hiding in the shadows, laughed rather cheaply. "Good child, truly a good child, at least not an ingrate."

Gollum~
A stomach rumbled inexplicably, and Jing Hongchen blushed. Why did it smell so good? Yuhao, that kid, actually had such good cooking skills. No, I must find a chance to try it sometime.

"Sell grilled fish?" Meng Hongchen squinted her eyes with delight. "If Yuhao, you went to sell grilled fish, your business would definitely be booming."

“Indeed, Yuhao’s grilled fish is really delicious.” Xiao Hongchen clearly didn’t understand what her younger sister meant.

"No, what I meant was, just based on Yuhao's handsome appearance, even if it's just one gold soul coin and a grilled fish, many female students would definitely go there."

There's no hope for her. My younger sister is hopelessly infatuated.

After having a meal and resting for a while, the three continued their journey deeper into the Mingdou Mountains.

Three days later, deep in the Jingyang Great Forest.

On a mountaintop, Huo Yuhao and his two companions concealed their presence using soul tools, quietly gazing into the distance.

On a rare metal vein, a giant wolf with blood-red eyes and golden-brown fur was devouring the metal.

"Golden Wolf King, a metal-attribute wolf-type soul beast, feeds on rare metals, is brutal and bloodthirsty, and serves as the guardian of the elemental silver wolves. Its ten thousand years of cultivation is comparable to that of a human level five soul master."

"Usually, the three golden wolf kings act together, so this one must have been left alone."

Huo Yuhao introduced the situation of the soul beasts and then looked at Xiao Hongchen.

"How about it? The Golden Wolf King, which is 16,000 years old, has all the age-related attributes that are perfect for you. Do you want to give it a try?"
