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

Chapter 26 "Even crying takes time."

Jiang Nannan was walking normally on the main road in the South District, pondering what kind of breakfast to prepare for Master Huo tomorrow.

The bright moonlight illuminated the road ahead, and occasionally a bustling crowd passed by. Everything was just like any other night in Xuanfeng City, an inconspicuous one among the thousands of nights.

But accidents always happen unexpectedly. Just as she was about to leave the South District, her mental sea was suddenly attacked by a strong mental force.

That spiritual power far surpassed his own, and despite his best efforts to resist, he still could not make up for the huge difference in their levels.

Until his consciousness became hazy, as if he had fallen into utter darkness.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a medical clinic, surrounded by her mother and the clinic's owner, Master Huo, who were showing her concern and care.

She was about to open her mouth when she realized something was wrong. She shook her head at her mother and Huo Yuhao, then went outside for a while.

Everything here is beautiful, but she still finds something out of place in this world; every flower, every blade of grass, and every tree is so beautiful that it feels unreal.

The entire city of Xuanfeng was incredibly harmonious, free from conflict, and everyone lived in peace and contentment.

But how is this possible?

I must be trapped in a dream world by some Soul Master, a world based on my own desires.

Jiang Nannan began trying various methods to break free from the dream.

However, whether it's self-harm or the burst of soul power, it's all like a stone sinking into the sea, unable to cause even the slightest ripple.

Jiang Nannan realized that the other party's cultivation level was at least two levels higher than hers, and he might even be a spirit attribute soul master.

In despair, she had no idea where her fate would lead her, and could only keep trying to unleash her soul power in vain.

Until the entire dream suddenly shattered for some unknown reason, the sky cracked like glass, making a piercing sound that made one's teeth ache.

When the sky completely collapsed and she was plunged into darkness again, she realized that she had fallen to the ground without even noticing when the soft moonlight fell on her eyes once more.

He heard loud noises coming from not far behind him, indicating that a battle was taking place, and he had been rescued.

She wanted to go and help, but found herself too weak and insignificant; going there would only be a hindrance.

Once the fighting subsided and he hadn't fallen back into the dream, and after confirming that the person who saved him had won, he dared to limp over there to check the situation.

Then I saw the land that had been almost completely plowed, the air filled with the smell of coke, and a pile of coke in the distance.

She looked around and spotted something familiar in a corner.

A small, damaged bag.

Jiang Nannan hurriedly picked up the bag and confirmed that it was the one she had seen before.

Because there was an indigo stain on the edge of the bag.

This is Master Huo's bag!
Huo Yuhao himself probably didn't know what was so special about his bag that made it so memorable.

During her time as an apprentice at the clinic, Jiang Nannan memorized almost everything in the clinic, especially Huo Yuhao's belongings.

He memorized every single unique mark.

If Huo Yuhao knew this, he would probably be sweating profusely.

"Damn it, she's a heterosexual woman, she's going to look terrible now."

Jiang Nannan held her bag and looked toward the clinic. Her eyes were exceptionally clear and bright in the moonlight, like ripples flowing within them.

After a long while, she returned home with her bag.

.........

"Ah!"

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sneeze and scratch his head, feeling that someone was always thinking about him.

"It must be that naturally evil brat Tang San."

"Oh my god, how could Tang San be so mean!"

I never imagined that anyone would be plotting against me like this, so I can only blame it on Tang San.

If anything bad happens on Douluo Continent, you can't go wrong looking for Tang San; it must have been Tang San who did it.

"What! What! What!"

Without much thought, Huo Yuhao continued his journey towards the East District to inherit Yu Hongzhi's estate.

After obtaining the inheritance, he went and killed Chen Wen.

Damn it, they're even eyeing the person next to them now.

If they dare to plot against Jiang Nannan today, they'll dare to shit on Huo Yuhao's head tomorrow.

This is no ordinary troublemaker from Douluo Continent; we must strike hard!
After arriving in the East District, Huo Yuhao finally understood what the decadent and extravagant scene the Soul Masters in the medical clinic had described was all about.

It was already past midnight, but under the dazzling lights, it looked just like daytime.

Scantily clad women solicit customers on the streets, while drunken passersby lie on the roadside unattended; the locals are used to this.

Gamblers knelt at the casino entrance, kowtowing and pleading, while onlookers held glass goblets, seemingly enjoying a performance. Huo Yuhao even saw some ragged, emaciated people leading young children into a small alley.

Then, with something in her arms, she lowered her head and quickly left, the child no longer in sight.

Huo Yuhao stood on a roof ridge, his masked eye observing the myriad aspects of human life.

He couldn't help but lower his eyes.

"Heh, so this is Douluo Continent."

"A cannibalistic society."

As a night breeze blew, Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared into the rooftops without causing any disturbance.

Soon, Huo Yuhao arrived at the Li Ruyi Brothel and, following Yu Hongzhi's memory, easily retrieved the necklace-shaped storage soul tool from the flowerpot.

When I probed inside with my mental energy, good heavens, Huo Yuhao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Wow, that's a lot of money.

"So many soul tools, and medicinal herbs!"

A preliminary estimate suggests that this necklace storage soul tool is quite valuable, with an internal space of approximately thirty-six cubic meters, making it a soul tool of a high level.

Inside are eight soul-guided devices: two soul-guided ray cannons, four fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells, one fixed-mount soul-guided cannon, and one flying soul-guided device.

In addition, there are various rare medicinal herbs that are basically unavailable on the market, as well as the Mysterious Water Pill hidden in the deepest part of the room.

"As expected of a former regular member of the Zheng Tian Advanced Soul Master Academy."

"Even in their depravity, their wealth is still beyond imagination."

Huo Yuhao put the necklace around his neck, got up and went to the top floor of Ruyi Brothel, following the images recorded in his dream.

After Yu Hongzhi had completely taken control of Jiang Nannan, he brought her here, handing her over in exchange for the goods.

As for whether he would be exposed because of the large number of people and eyes in the East District, Chen Wen was not worried. He believed in Yu Hongzhi's mental strength. They were in the same boat and he would definitely take the initiative to deal with his eyes and ears.

Moreover, the Chen family has served the Xuanming Sect for so many years and has benefited greatly from it.
This brothel belongs to the Chen family, and the people inside are all their trusted confidants.

Chen Wen leisurely soaked his feet in the luxurious rooftop while waiting for Yu Hongzhi to arrive.

Huo Yuhao was already slowly making his way to the top floor. Thanks to the power of his spiritual eye, no one stopped this one-eyed masked man who looked suspicious at first glance.

"Ha, while your teammates are out there fighting, you're upstairs listening to music and soaking your feet."

Huo Yuhao approached him cautiously at first, but the kid didn't seem to notice at all.

So he simply pulled out the White Tiger Dagger, flashed behind him, and pressed the White Tiger Dagger against his neck.

Shh, don't shout.

Chen Wen felt a chill on his neck and was about to shout when he heard Huo Yuhao's words and immediately covered his mouth.

"Hero, spare your life."

"Do not kill me!"

"Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!"

Huo Yuhao patted his face and said, "Turn your head and look at me."

Chen Wen didn't dare turn his head and said in a flustered manner:
"No, no! I know the rules, I don't care about your face."

In a fit of anger, Huo Yuhao twisted the entire sofa around, and only then did Chen Wen see that the person threatening him was a one-eyed masked man, and then saw a knife pointed at his head.

"You should have at least three things to say right now."

Chen Wen was so frightened that he peed himself.

"No! Not a single word. A true hero!"

"All the money is in the cabinet next to us!"

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and calmed himself down, saying, "Why did you send someone to follow Jiang Nannan? If you can't answer in three minutes, you'll lose your head."

At this moment, Chen Wen realized that Yu Hongzhi had made a mistake and that his enemies had come knocking on his door. He immediately burst into tears.

"what!"

"Hey, don't cry, crying counts as time."

He quickly stopped his tears and, in the most fluent and rapid words he had ever spoken, explained why he had been following Jiang Nannan.

Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction and said, "I like honest people."

Then Huo Yuhao raised his knife and chopped off his head.

"I was just kidding. If I told you, I'd lose my head too."

Huo Yuhao stepped over the corpse and found a storage soul tool ring in the cabinet next to him. His initial mental perception revealed that it was even larger than Yu Hongzhi's storage soul tool!
