Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 5 The Holy Maiden Does Not Emphasize Martial Morality

Along with the immense surprise brought by Huo Yuhao, the Holy Spirit Cult also held a grand banquet amidst cheers and jubilation. As for the Holy Maiden Ma Xiaotao, who was still unconscious, she would not be able to make a formal appearance until she woke up. Currently, only the higher-ups of the Holy Spirit Cult knew about this extra joy.

Of course, this was automatically filtered out amidst the immense surprise brought by the arrival of Huo Yuhao, the Holy Son.

Most of the younger generation of evil spirit masters are discerning. Even if Huo Yuhao is weak now without any spirit rings, his enormous potential is enough to drive the entire Holy Spirit Cult crazy. Therefore, any young evil spirit master with a brain will spare no effort to curry favor with this new Holy Son.

Looking at the glasses of Bloody Mary on the table, Huo Yuhao felt like vomiting. It seemed that the Holy Spirit Cult had perfectly inherited the fine tradition of the Slaughter City from ten thousand years ago. Drinking too much of this stuff would make you drunk, and at best it would affect your mind, and at worst it would cause mental derangement. No wonder most of the evil soul masters described in the original work were so crazy. It turned out they had drunk a lot of this stuff!

This was the first time Huo Yuhao had ever seen a banquet for evil spirit masters. It was truly a chaotic scene, with all sorts of bizarre martial spirits gathered together, enjoying this rare moment. In the past, these people who were hated by everyone could completely indulge themselves and enjoy life in this unfathomable underground world.

Perhaps, as depicted in Douluo Continent IV, no one is born an evil soul master; it is just that their special cultivation methods destined them to have an extraordinary identity.

However, the crimes committed cannot be forgiven, just as a person is born with a psychological defect. It's better not to commit any crimes, otherwise, one will face the severe punishment of justice and life imprisonment.

At the banquet, Huo Yuhao also met the Holy Spirit Cult disciples who would appear in later parts of the original story: Jili with the Brain-Eating Beast Martial Soul, Wang Xiaolei and Tang Dai with the Skeleton Martial Soul, Lu Genggeng with the Hatred Martial Soul, Gu Yu with the Bone Staff Martial Soul, and Yan Feng, the personal disciple of Zhongli Wu with the Bone Dragon Martial Soul.

Huo Yuhao couldn't refuse their hospitality, so he reluctantly drank a few Bloody Marys with them before leaving the scene under the pretext of feeling unwell and finding a place to vomit.

Zhongli Wu arranged for him to have a separate small pavilion located at the deepest part of the underground palace, which was a way of giving him the greatest security. Even if there were evil soul masters with ulterior motives who wanted to take something from Huo Yuhao, they would have to get past Zhongli Wu and the elders first.

Huo Yuhao scanned the area with his powerful senses and found no surveillance in the residence. Only then did he feel slightly relieved. Venturing into a place like the Holy Spirit Cult was tantamount to dealing with a tiger for its skin, or dancing ballet on a tightrope. One wrong move and he would be doomed.

Before this, Huo Yuhao's mental strength had not yet transformed. If Zhongli Wu wanted to explore his memories, things would get very serious. Of course, that would also cause great damage to Huo Yuhao's mental strength. Weighing the pros and cons, Zhongli Wu did not do so.

Therefore, the first thing Huo Yuhao did after arriving at his residence was to place an insurance policy on his mental sea in case he encountered the Holy Spirit Cult trying to probe his memories in the future.

Although Huo Yuhao had never been exposed to any methods of using mental power, the mental power of the Spirit Abyss Realm was already capable of forcibly protecting memories. If one day Zhongli Wu and the others were to thoroughly investigate his spiritual sea, this insurance would be activated immediately, erasing all traces of his past life's memories. Similarly, Huo Yuhao himself would also lose all his memories from his previous life.

This is still much better than letting the Holy Spirit Cult, a terrorist organization, get the entire script.

After securing his memories of his past life, Huo Yuhao finally breathed a sigh of relief. All he needed to do now was deal with the training methods taught by the Holy Spirit. As long as he didn't lose his sanity and rationality, whether a person was good or evil would still be determined by their own heart.

"Although my mental strength has increased a thousandfold, my physical fitness hasn't changed much." Huo Yuhao looked around inward and revealed his most serious problem: years of malnutrition had made his physique far inferior to that of other Soul Masters of the same level. This was also the reason why, despite having accumulated thirty levels of Soul Power in Zhongli Wu's perception, he could only release ten levels of Soul Power on the surface.

Soul power is far inferior to mental power, which also leads to limitations in the use of mental power. Suppose Huo Yuhao now has a skill like Soul Impact, and he were to fight against a level 20 Great Soul Master, he could only unleash an attack power that matched the mental power of the Spirit Realm. Once he used mental power beyond his physical capabilities, Huo Yuhao's brain would explode due to overload.

"I need to improve my physique as soon as possible," Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, clenching his fist.

crunch--

Just then, Huo Yuhao's door opened without warning, and a beautiful figure appeared in his field of vision.

The newcomer was a woman who looked to be only in her early twenties. She had long, glossy black hair that reached her waist, an amazing figure without an ounce of excess fat, and wore dark red eyeshadow. Her fox-like eyes shone with a captivating allure, and her bright red lips parted slightly, sparking endless fantasies.

"You are the Holy Son Huo Yuanjia?" The woman lazily glanced at Huo Yuhao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Her alluring voice made the still immature Huo Yuhao blush.

"Senior, who are you?" Huo Yuhao dared not take the woman in front of him for granted. Someone who could easily appear in the deepest part of the Holy Spirit Temple was not someone to be trifled with.

"Calling me 'senior' is really going too far." The woman walked towards Huo Yuhao with great interest, her long, shapely legs creating a beautiful sight. She leaned down slightly, her hands lightly resting on the edge of the bed, and said with seductive eyes, "I am Zhong Liyu, the first Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Sect, and also your future partner."

Huo Yuhao suppressed the urge to clap and cheer wildly, and awkwardly moved his body back a little. It was only the first day after joining the sect, how come someone was already lusting after his body?

"The Holy Maiden is joking..." Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the stunning beauty before him. This was definitely the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in a long time. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't moved, but his current circumstances didn't allow it.

Zhongli Yu and Zhongli Wu are clearly the direct descendants of the Holy Spirit Sect's leader. In order to completely capture Huo Yuhao's heart, Zhongli Wu can be said to have used every means possible!

"Holy Son, you may not know this, but once I, your Holy Son, descend into this world, all the Holy Maidens of our sect will be your women." Zhongli Yu leaned forward slightly again, revealing a beautiful sight, her hands slowly crawling towards Huo Yuhao, displaying an extremely alluring posture. "Does the Holy Son have no interest in these things?"

"It's just you, Holy Son, oh." Zhongli Yu moved closer to Huo Yuhao again. At this moment, their faces were only a few feet apart, and Huo Yuhao could even smell the intoxicating fragrance from Zhongli Yu's breath.

"No, no, no..." Huo Yuhao was about to retreat again when he found that he had already retreated to the wall. Just as he was about to turn to the side to avoid it, Zhong Liyu raised his hand and grabbed his cheek. Then he felt a wet and soft touch on his lips, which blocked all the words he wanted to say.

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened in surprise. He wanted to release his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, but Zhong Liyu forcefully suppressed it with her powerful soul force. Then he felt a small snake invade his mouth, carrying an intoxicating fragrance, acting recklessly.

In this extremely intoxicating atmosphere, Huo Yuhao felt his consciousness gradually fading away. In the end, he finally realized that this was a trick of the Holy Spirit Cult. However, as a virgin in two lifetimes, he would still resolutely accept the Holy Spirit Cult's conspiracy and face the challenge head-on!

The Holy Spirit Cult's holy woman, lacking any martial virtue, tried to deceive me and ambush me! Is this acceptable? Very well, come again next time…

Feeling Huo Yuhao's breathing as he fell into a deep sleep, Zhong Liyu finally released him, her face flushed. Huo Yuhao's mental strength was truly unexpected, taking her quite a while to master. Even for her, this was the first time she had ever used this technique.

The purpose was to plant the unique mark of the Holy Spirit Sect in Huo Yuhao's body. This mark would evolve as Huo Yuhao grew stronger in the future, and no matter what Huo Yuhao did in the future, Zhong Liyu and the others could decide his life or death with a single thought.

"How is it?" Zhongli Wu's figure appeared in the room at some point, and he asked expressionlessly.

"Grandpa, Yu'er succeeded." Upon hearing this, Zhong Liyu quickly straightened her clothes and stepped forward to bow. At this moment, her delicate face still had a faint blush. She did not expect that the boy would actually dare to touch her inappropriately. Now her beautiful face was covered with scratches.

"Whether he can truly dedicate himself to our sect depends on you. Make him fall at your feet as much as possible." Zhongli Wu nodded, as if giving a trivial order. "The Holy Son's Martial Soul is of the mental type. Our sect does not want him to become a walking corpse unless absolutely necessary."

"Yu'er understands," Zhong Liyu replied.

Zhongli Wu didn't say anything more. He was also ordering people to collect information about Huo Yuhao. Every Soul Master has a file in the Empire when they awaken their Martial Soul. Even if Huo Yuhao blew up the Duke's Mansion, it would be impossible to erase the records.

Only after confirming Huo Yuhao's true identity and background could Zhongli Wu fully commit the entire sect's resources to help Huo Yuhao become a god.

As the saying goes, "When you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up," Zhongli Wu and Huo Yuhao could never have imagined that the Duchess, in order to conceal Huo Yuhao's existence, had personally used her connections within the royal family to change his birth status to that of a servant's son. Could this be considered indirectly providing the person she hated most with an excellent cover for his identity?

As expected, this writing style is still the most popular. As long as everyone likes it, I will continue to update it!
