Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 133 Xia Die: "Father?"

Time is like a rushing river! It washes over the banks of the world, bringing life and change, and nourishing the wilderness called reality.

A month has passed since the Magic Network was released, and there is still a month before Shrek Academy starts school.

Huo Yuhao stood by a window in the Passion Headquarters, his finger resting on a blue butterfly with beautiful patterns on its wings.

The scorching sun shone on Huo Yuhao's face, his dark eyes gleaming in the light, and the sunlight sprinkled a layer of gold dust on his eyebrows.

The cicadas outside are chirping, announcing the arrival of summer, trying to drive away the sun's heat with their chorus of music.

This is Huo Yuhao's twelfth summer in this world. Since regaining his memories, his life has been racing towards the extraordinary.

Summer has always been the season he finds hard to describe. It's very hot, but Huo Yuhao always looks forward to this season. Perhaps it's because he never experienced this kind of warmth in his previous life.

Just one month after Huo Yuhao personally activated the Magic Network, the world began to change drastically.

From the moment the Magic Network was created, the worldline completely deviated from the original story, and no one knows where the future of this world will lead.

The forum has hundreds of millions of posts, with all sorts of complex information interwoven like a spider web, including both true stories and many fictional accounts fabricated by historians.

For example, the post that Huo Yuhao is currently seeing is quite difficult to read.

Title: Why did Tang San, the Sea God, retain his experience as a blacksmith's apprentice in Notting City?

"The poster should conceal their identity for now, in case of retaliation. In reality, Poseidon's family was very poor at that time, and his father was a drunkard!"

"When Poseidon was a child, he couldn't afford to eat! In Notting City, he had to come to the blacksmith's shop to survive."

"You know what kind of people worked in blacksmith shops back then? Round faces, thick beards, black leather shoes, white socks, and rubber shoes! A skinny kid could only get enough to eat there by selling hooks!"

"My ancestor was a blacksmith from Nottingham! He was a sea god! The following is his own record of history!"

"…………"

Huo Yuhao almost lost his composure when he saw the old man on the subway with his cell phone. This absurd history was just too far-fetched!
In other words, only Huo Yuhao knows the true identities of those users on the Magic Network, otherwise he would have been beaten to death by the Shrek Academy!
Because the author's writing was excellent and the scene descriptions were vivid, many people in the comments section gave him tips, and some even actually believed the fabricated history.

After reading the article with a critical mindset, Huo Yuhao used his "Ye Ge" account to tip him and then gave it a like.

Besides the forum module, the live streaming module is also becoming increasingly popular.

A large number of Soul Masters opened live streaming rooms on the live streaming module, some streaming Soul Hunting and others streaming Soul Battles.

Among them were unlucky souls who were live-streaming their soul hunting and were directly taken offline by ancient soul beasts based on their addresses.

Dream Coins have also been integrated into the game, and they have been highly sought after by the Soul Master community since their release!
They discovered that Dream Coins are really useful! Unlike Gold Soul Coins, Dream Coins can actually be directly converted into combat power!
A while ago, some people from the Sun Moon Empire streamed a Soul Battle. One Soul Master, because he was rich and powerful, prepared 100,000 Dream Coins to challenge everyone from the Soul Master Academy.

One hundred thousand Dream Coins, when converted into Soul Power and Spiritual Power, amount to one percent of Nebula Douluo Manyi.

With the power of spending real money, that Soul Master managed to wear everyone down to death.

Influenced by this live stream, all Soul Masters began hoarding Dream Coins.

However, Dream Coins are hard to obtain! A Title Douluo only gets a few hundred thousand after converting all his soul power and spiritual power!

After all, only 10% reaches them; the remaining 90% belongs to the dream space.

It would take at least a month for a Title Douluo to recover.

Because of the importance of Dream Coins, both Douluo Three Kingdoms and Sun Moon Empire began to purchase large quantities of Dream Coins from the public as strategic reserves.

Even auction houses are slowly starting to accept Dream Coins instead of Gold Soul Coins for transactions.

Dream coins are now to the Douluo Continent what spirit stones are to traditional fantasy worlds.

Ordinary Soul Masters do not have the vast financial resources of the royal family to acquire large quantities of Dream Coins.

Their way of quickly obtaining Dream Coins is to create hilarious content during live streams!

These Soul Masters have figured out the rules of the live stream. As long as they don't do anything dirty like murder, arson, petty theft, or selling drugs, their live streams won't be banned.

So, within the rules, these Soul Masters can be as ruthless as they want!

Just to attract attention and earn Dream Coins.

Even the usually arrogant Shrek Academy has started hoarding Dream Coins.

The elders of the Sea God Pavilion aren't fools; they all realize that this thing can truly save lives in critical moments!

If the quantity is high enough, it can become the most important foundation of a power!
Under his access control, all of Shrek Academy's Dream Coins were concentrated in Mu En's hands. He personally managed the Dream Coins, distributing them to the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Guidance Department.

At a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion, Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe almost got into a fight over the funding of three million Dream Coins, as neither side wanted to give up this new type of resource.

Yan Shaozhe wanted to use these Dream Coins to speed up the cultivation of the core disciples, as absorbing these things was much easier than absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Qian Duoduo scolded Yan Shaozhe for being short-sighted, saying that Dream Coins should be used as an energy source to research and drive Soul Guidance Devices.

Absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth won't be much slower than absorbing dream coins!
You can still become a powerful being by absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth!
Unfortunately, to Huo Yuhao's regret, the two didn't end up fighting.

Huo Yuhao drew the curtains, turned on the cooling alchemy system in the room, enjoyed the air conditioning of this other world, casually browsed the posts on the forum, and took a few sips of iced cola.

Life was so pleasant.

"Peng!"

Unfortunately, the office door was pushed open forcefully, and Huo Yuhao quickly turned off the light screen and sat up straight.

Su Tong reluctantly walked to Huo Yuhao's table and said:
"Teacher, please spend less time on forums, and please stop drinking those sodas."

Let's get down to business!

Huo Yuhao smiled awkwardly and said:

"Isn't this about finding a vulnerability in the magic network?"

"If someone finds a loophole, then we're finished."

Su Tong sighed and said:
"Teacher, I am the administrator of the Magic Network."

"I will find any loopholes as soon as possible."

A month ago, Huo Yuhao had already given Su Tong the administrator privileges of the Magic Network, asking her to help manage it.

Huo Yuhao has always adhered to the principle of "not using those you doubt, and not doubting those you use".

He still trusted his apprentices very much.

If Huo Yuhao can't even trust the disciples he chose, then he's lived a truly unsuccessful life.

He had fulfilled his duties as a teacher to Su Tong, giving her plenty of good things and teaching her a lot of knowledge.

Tianmeng Bingcan gave her the alchemy books she had compiled, as well as Xue Di's "Five Years of Simulation, Three Years of Alchemy" which she had been practicing.

I taught him step by step myself.

Seeing her teacher slacking off, Su Tong straightened her expression and said to Huo Yuhao:

"Teacher, Dr. Roman is coming back."

"I'm here to inform you."

Upon hearing Roman's name, Huo Yuhao showed an interested expression.

"That guy's back?"

"Alright, I'll go check on him."

Huo Yuhao stood up immediately, ready to greet his top ten employees!

As soon as they stepped out the door, Huo Yuhao poked his head out and said to Su Tong:
"There are some documents under the table. Could you please take care of them for me?"

I'll grill you some fish later.

Su Tong was about to reach out to refuse when she heard the door slam shut with a "bang".

She sat helplessly in Huo Yuhao's office chair and looked down.

At that moment, the girl's blush spoke louder than any words!
Because there are at least several hundred documents under the table!
"teacher!"

"Let's get down to business!!"

...At the main gate of Xilu City, Huo Yuhao was already waiting.

Roman's figure in the distance was somewhat distorted by the scorching sunlight.

When the guy saw Huo Yuhao, he smiled and waved at him before jogging over.

Roman had two little followers beside him.

One is Fujin with pink twin ponytails, and the other is Xia Die with white and purple hair.

The two girls went to Tiandou Plain with Roman a month ago.

Roman was happy to bring his two followers to help carry the things, and along the way he also taught Feng Jin and Xia Die some alchemy knowledge.

"It seems like you had a pleasant trip."

Roman approached Huo Yuhao, wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, and said in a cheerful tone:

"not bad."

"I was planning to take the two of them to Tiandou City for a visit, but we're running out of time."

"We'll just have to wait until next time."

"Boss, there will be a next time, right?"

Huo Yuhao patted Roman on the shoulder and said:
"Of course, how could I possibly treat you unfairly?"

"The Magic Network is short-staffed for maintenance, so you can go and help repair it from now on."

Roman looked sad.

"Huh? You have to work as soon as you arrive?"

Huo Yuhao said to Roman earnestly:

"Where does the value of life come from if you don't work?"

"You're still young, this is the age to work hard. If you don't work hard, your boss won't even be able to afford to live in a villa anymore!"

Roman shouted at Huo Yuhao with a bitter face:
"You heartless boss!"

At this moment, Feng Jin, panting, brought Xia Die to Huo Yuhao and said:
"Yes, it's Brother Huo."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Huo Yuhao smiled and took out two bottles of ice water from his storage soul tool, handing them to Feng Jin and Xia Die.

"Well, long time no see."

"You must be feeling hot."

Feng Jin and Xia Die took the ice water and said to Huo Yuhao:

"Thank you, Brother Huo!"

"Thank you father."

Upon hearing Xia Die's address, Huo Yuhao trembled, somewhat bewildered, and looked at Luo Man as if he were the one who had taught her.

Roman wouldn't take the blame for this, and used his mental power to transmit a message to Huo Yuhao:

"Don't look at me! It's not me!"

"It's Adam and Amon!"

"Have you forgotten that those three were from the same group?"

"They both know, so of course Xia Die knows!"

After learning the reason, Huo Yuhao looked at Xia Die, who was a little scared at the moment.

When the child saw Huo Yuhao's expression, she thought it meant that Huo Yuhao disliked her.

Huo Yuhao gently squatted down and hugged Xia Die. This child's martial soul had already awakened; it was the Dragon of Death.

On the day of awakening, the power of death almost got out of control, but fortunately it was eventually suppressed by the bloodline of a large number of life-beasts within Xia Die's body.

This allows her to continue embracing life and feeling its warmth.

This child's unique death and life did indeed attract the attention of the goddess of life, but she has yet to send down a divine test.

They must be waiting for something.

Xia Die gently clasped her hands together on her lower abdomen like a little maid, her amethyst eyes trembling as she looked at Huo Yuhao and said:

"May I call you father?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, then stroked Xia Die's soft hair and said:

"of course can."

A smile appeared on Xia Die's indifferent face as she stretched out her hand and tightly gripped Huo Yuhao's black trench coat.

Feng Jin, who was standing to the side, was also very happy, but soon she seemed to have thought of something and said to Xia Die somewhat anxiously:
"Oh dear, Butterfly!"

"Yuebao is almost at the south gate of Xilu City!"

"We agreed to pick her up!"

Xia Die released her grip and looked at Huo Yuhao apologetically.

Huo Yuhao said to Feng Jin:
"Who is Yuebao?"

Feng Jin explained, "Yuebao is a friend we met on the Magic Network."

"She wanted to come and see the food in Xilu City, so the three of us agreed to go together."

"When she chatted with us privately, the address she saw was the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, which terrified us."

"However, the other party said it was because they were taken to the core area to hunt souls by their elders."

"Um, Butterfly and I will go pick them up first!"

Goodbye, Brother Huo!

Huo Yuhao could barely contain himself as he watched Feng Jin lead Xia Die toward the south gate of Xilu City.

"Go to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls?"

"Wow, he's got some skill."

"There's someone named Yuebao?"

Roman looked at the two girls' retreating figures with some concern and said:

"Should I go and take a look?"

"The other party might not be human."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said:

"Need not."

"I already know who the other person is."

"There shouldn't be any malicious intent."

"Don't worry about their safety, especially since this is Xilu City."

"This is my base camp. If there is any danger, I will teleport there immediately."

"I'm not Chicken Leg Douluo."

"Let's go eat!"

Soon, Roman followed Huo Yuhao to a well-known restaurant on the main street of Xilu City.
