Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 164 Becoming...Human?
"Certainly!"

The moment Nana's fingers touched the handle, Huo Yuhao's cold command resounded from the depths of her soul, stripping her of the power to control her body before she could open the door.

Now, Nana can do nothing but breathe and blink.

It has been completely transformed into a living sculpture.

"Don't be so nervous... Can't you talk things out slowly?"

Huo Yuhao flicked his finger, pulling her back to the bedside with the Crane Control and Dragon Capture techniques: "It's just using the imagery of vengeful spirits to cultivate, not a demonic transformation of your martial soul. Why are you so flustered?"

As if afraid she wouldn't believe him, Huo Yuhao smiled and summoned a ball of golden spiritual energy, which enveloped the vengeful spirit released by Nana.

However, the vengeful spirit is now somewhat listless, its black aura has become much fainter, and the true nature of its soul is faintly revealed.

"Are you relieved now?"

"... "

Clearly, Nana, unable to move, couldn't give a proper response and could only blink a few times to indicate that she understood.

"Good. I'm returning this part of your soul to you now. After the control is broken, don't move or make any noise..."

Huo Yuhao soothed him in a low voice, slowly loosening the mental chains.

But the moment her soul returned, Nana's usually docile eyes suddenly sharpened, and her damage reduction skill was about to activate again—

"Certainly."

Huo Yuhao raised a finger expressionlessly, and a ray of golden light instantly appeared in Nana's pupils, once again taking control of her soul: "I knew it~"

Crafty guy.

Fortunately, he was more skilled and had reserved a wisp of spiritual energy within the vengeful spirit beforehand. Until this spiritual energy completely dissipated, Nana's body would be under his control.

"Since you still don't want to believe it... then..."

After a moment of contemplation, Huo Yuhao extended a finger glowing with light and pointed it at her brow: "Try it for yourself whether I am an evil soul master or not!"

'Wait--'

As the spiritual flame drew ever closer, Nana's eyes were instantly filled with terror: "Ugh... Waaah!"

After a while.

The door opened, and Nana left, looking weak and haggard.

The story of Shrek elites and Sun Moon geniuses getting mixed up has spread like wildfire, and there's no stopping it.

It's understandable if we eat and travel together normally, since we're friends, doing this kind of thing is normal... but now that she looks like she's really gone through a lot of trouble...

"What did I say?"

Lin Jiayi scoffed and slammed down the screen: "I knew it! When have I ever misjudged anything?"

However, doesn't this also show that those so-called Shrek elites aren't actually that determined?
It's hard to say for older people, but those who are clearly under twenty might still have a chance.

As Lin Jiayi tapped his fingers on the screen, his mind began to race: "I've got it!"

Don't these traditional Soul Masters just love competitions?

Then give them a match!
He assigned over a dozen outstanding Soul Masters to join the Shrek Academy team, and he refused to believe that they couldn't develop camaraderie after a few battles.

"Of course, let's exclude that kid Huo Yuhao first..."

Putting aside the possibility that his mental detection might lead to him luring all the Sun Moon Academy students away, his incredible cross-level combat power alone could have a counterproductive effect.

The monsters trained by Shrek Academy have slaughtered all the academies in Mingdu... If this news tops the headlines, he, the dean of students, can be fired on the spot, and even Jing Hongchen can't protect him.

"He's only at the fourth ring level but already has the combat strength of a sixth ring. I wonder how this kid's physique has developed... Wait a minute?"

Leaning back in his seat, lost in thought, Lin Jiayi suddenly sensed something was amiss and frowned: "Soul Emperor strength... Did he go all out?"

This feeling wasn't unfounded. He would glance at the surveillance footage on the training ground from time to time, and what surprised him most in each battle was that Huo Yuhao, this traditional soul master, would just throw punches without using any skills at all.

"He's a spirit master, so hand-to-hand combat probably isn't his forte."

After a few thoughts, Lin Jiayi slowly narrowed his eyes: "Should we try to test him?"

……

Since he touched the threshold of emotional energy, Huo Yuhao's life trajectory has become a simple two-point line: go out once a day to the cafeteria to eat his fill, and then go back to the dormitory to study mental energy.

Of course, he also made some mistakes during the exploration process.

For example... accidentally triggering the deep-seated hatred buried in one's heart.

ducal mansion.

The Duke's Mansion!
In that instant, fueled by resentment...

These three words were like a thorn stuck in my throat, the more I tried to suppress them, the more painful and deeper they became. The dark wave that arose from these emotions also grew wildly, at one point engulfing the entire sea of ​​my mind.

Finally, Huo Yuhao barely regained his senses when he thought of a certain golden phantom, and with a backhand, he dragged out the evil spirit that had almost merged with his spiritual power and killed it completely.

"It seems I need to be extra cautious when dealing with anything involving mental energy from now on..."

Huo Yuhao's spirit stood helplessly on the surface of the spiritual water, his body covered with no less than a hundred wounds, each of which oozed black energy.

Someone like him, whose obsessions remain unresolved, seems ill-suited to dealing with things like resentment.

"Actually, just don't get too immersed in the simulation. Trying to understand the true meaning by putting yourself into the emotions is something that can easily lead to problems for anyone, let alone you?"

Xue Di twirled the mental sand in her hand, and the complex thoughts of someone solidified within it flashed rapidly through her mind. Without exception, all these emotions solidified in her early years were filled with hatred:

"The marks left by your childhood are too deep."

“From the time you left home, three-quarters of your current subjective life is still filled and occupied by these emotions. Too intense and immersive emotions may cause you to lose control.”

As she finished speaking, a slight ripple appeared in Xue Di's eyes.

It must be said that Huo Yuhao's emotions, as an ordinary human, were incredibly strong and pure. Every time she idly communicated her thoughts, the will within the sand would cause this block of ice, frozen for seven hundred thousand years, to tremble slightly.

even……

This gradually caused her to experience some of the emotional fluctuations that only humans have.

'If I didn't have these 700,000 years of memories to rely on, my own will would probably have been assimilated into a human in an instant, right?'

Suddenly struck by this thought, Xue Di, who had been subtly sensing the sand, was amused by her own whimsical idea: 'What am I thinking? How could something like that happen out of nowhere…'

But, become human?
"Seven emotions and six desires".

Xue Di suddenly frowned and spoke, drawing a strange look from Huo Yuhao: "What's wrong?"

"Things that humans have added."

Looking at Huo Yuhao in front of her, Xue Di said something unclear in a daze: "--It should just be the seven emotions and six desires, right?"
