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

Chapter 25 "Looting Time"

Under the bright moonlight, I repeatedly turned my palms over, observing the colorful, knife-shaped tattoos.

He suddenly remembered something important, and stared at the mass of black ash with eyes wide with rage.

"Oh no, I forgot to loot the bag."

"It's over, this person has been put to sleep by Amaterasu, and his storage soul tool is probably gone too."

But since he was already here, he might as well take something back with him. He remembered that this person seemed to have a soul bone.

"I wonder if the soul bones have turned to ash."

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao began to rummage through the clump of things that could perhaps be called ashes, hoping to find the soul bone within.

Fortunately, the use of the Earth Destiny was timely, and the Soul Bone was preserved at the very bottom of the black ash.

This is a left arm bone, its jet-black color highlighting its mystery.

However, Huo Yuhao held it up and examined it closely under the moonlight, discovering several cracks in the left arm bone.

It must have been burned by Amaterasu's high temperature.

"Hiss~ The soul bone has a slight crack, but it should still be usable, right?"

He wasn't entirely sure, but he figured it should be fine.

After all, a soul bone often circulates for more than a hundred years in the Douluo Continent, and Huo Yuhao did not believe that a soul bone would not wear out over such a long period of time.

After watching for a while, I thought of putting the soul bone in the bag on my back.

But then they discovered that the bag on their back had been slashed by some kind of sharp object.

It is estimated that he was cut by a sharp piece of iron while tracking Jiang Nannan on the roof beam.

Huo Yuhao was a little embarrassed, so he simply threw down his bag and tied the soul bone to his waist with a rope.

"Heh, I'm probably the only Soul Master who's ended up like this, I don't even have a storage Soul Tool."

Huo Yuhao did not intend to absorb this soul bone.

He didn't care about the soul skills attached to the soul bone.

It's of no use to him.

Moreover, this soul bone is probably not very old, at most ten thousand years old, and it is very likely to be a thousand-year-old soul bone.

After all, for a wild Soul Emperor to even possess a Soul Bone is an incredible stroke of luck.

Wanting a high-age soul bone is simply wishful thinking.

Of course, Huo Yuhao had no idea that the black and gray mass was once a prodigy who could participate in the continent-wide advanced soul master competition.

Yu Hongzhi was once an outstanding student at Zhengtian Advanced Soul Master Academy and was selected to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition.

They are regular starters, not reserve team members.

At that time, he was full of vigor and ambition, challenging various strong teams with his teammates on the field.

The captain possesses a pure Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul, making him a prodigy of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

Unfortunately, they lost to Shrek Academy in the final four.

Even so, due to his outstanding performance, the academy bestowed upon him a soul bone of a ten-thousand-year-old Shadow Leopard.

However, due to a lack of talent, he was stuck at level 69, watching his former teammates progress towards becoming Contra.

The younger generation of the past also entered the Soul Emperor realm one after another. After realizing that they would never be able to break through to level 69 in this lifetime, they gave up and became degenerate in Xuanfeng City.

He was killed by Huo Yuhao tonight.

Huo Yuhao shook his body to make sure the soul bone was securely bound.

"I'll find a chance to move to a bigger city later and sell the soul bone to make some money."

"Now that I have the money, I'm determined to get a higher-end storage soul tool."

Before leaving, Huo Yuhao, still unwilling to give up, rummaged through Yu Hongzhi's ashes a few more times to make sure that there was really nothing left.

"Ugh."

Seemingly hearing Huo Yuhao's sighs, the knife in its right hand conveyed a message to Huo Yuhao.

"The person returns to their position."

"Dreams record everything."

Huo Yuhao looked puzzled and tried to communicate with it telepathically.

"Do you know where his storage soul tool is?"

The knife continued to convey the message: "I don't know, but the dream does."

Huo Yuhao immediately perked up and walked to the ashes to ask, "Is that right?"

"Ah."

"Man, summon."

After understanding its meaning, Huo Yuhao summoned the Broken Dream Blade.

Then grasp the white hilt that shimmered with colorful waves.

"The person waves."

Following the instructions, Huo Yuhao gently swung his sword.

The power to erase everything manifested once more, and a colorful door suddenly appeared in the otherwise empty space.

The doorway exhales colorful bubbles, each bubble reflecting a bizarre dream.

Huo Yuhao was stunned. He felt something drawing him toward the door until he was brought back by the sound of the Broken Dream Blade.

"People, don't go for now."

"Danger."

"Found it at the doorway, Bubble."

"Then, accept it."

The broken, disjointed way the Broken Dream Blade spoke was difficult for him to understand, but thankfully he could still comprehend what it was saying.

Huo Yuhao searched for the relevant bubbles and soon found Yu Hongzhi's bubble near the entrance.

It is easy to identify because its appearance is visible on the surface of the bubble.

After touching the bubble with the Broken Dream Blade, a light screen appeared in the Sea of ​​Spirit almost instantly.

The screen is recording and playing Yu Hongzhi's life from a third-person perspective.

Huo Yuhao's consciousness grew increasingly alarmed as he looked at the Sea of ​​Spirit.

Of course, I wasn't awestruck by his life story.

"That's incredibly detailed."

Huo Yuhao was shocked by the level of detail recorded above.

From birth to death, everything is recorded, and the screen automatically segments the life and then plays it at an accelerated pace.

It's as if a person is being recorded by a hidden camera from birth until death.

"The power in the dream world may be far more terrifying than I imagined."

"Don't be afraid, this is the rule."

"It cannot be disobeyed."

After sensing Huo Yuhao's emotions, Canmengdao took the initiative to comfort him.

Indeed, thinking about these things now is useless. One day I will gain control of the Dream Realm, and at that time all the secrets contained within that power will be revealed to me.

With his mind at ease, Huo Yuhao watched Yu Hongzhi's life as if it were a documentary.

Having learned his name, where he came from, and witnessed his joys, sorrows, and anxieties, we also learned why he was following Jiang Nannan.

After the playback ended, Huo Yuhao returned his consciousness to reality.

Use the Broken Dream Blade to close the door, then close your eyes to process the information.

"I put the storage soul tool in the flowerpot on the left side of the entrance of Ruyi Brothel in the East District. I plan to run away from the East District after this job."

"The Xuanwu Divine Pill and the Xuanshui Pill, and Chen Wen..."

"You almost got away, kid."

Huo Yuhao sheathed the Broken Dream Blade, jumped onto the roof beam without looking back, and left this scorched earth.

It left behind a piece of land that looked as if it had been turned upside down by a dragon.

Only the black ash scattered by the night wind knows that a battle once broke out here, and a former prodigy, the Soul Emperor, perished in the dirtiest and most chaotic western district of Xuanfeng City.

Perhaps when his relatives and friends came looking for him, people would learn of his death, and he would become a bizarre figure in people's conversations until he completely disappeared from memory.

After a long while, a staggering figure walked over, its delicate body revealing exquisite curves in the night.

The figure seemed to be searching for something, until it hurriedly walked to a corner and picked up a small, torn bag.
