Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

When she regained her composure, fully opened the door, and met Huo Yuhao's meaningful gaze—

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Gu Yuena. I've heard so much about you."

Soon, Huo Yuhao's next greeting completely shattered Gu Yuena's composure:

"Or should I address you as... Your Majesty, the Silver Dragon King?"

Gu Yuena never expected that when she confirmed Huo Yuhao's true identity, the huge information advantage she had held would vanish in an instant.

She stood frozen at the door of the private room, as if nailed to the spot by an invisible force.

Her beautiful purple eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao's meaningful face, and her heart was already filled with turbulent waves.

Huo Yuhao: I've only been cultivating for a little over twenty years, not as good as Miss Gu Yuena. You can steal the sky and change the sun, and pass off fish as the real thing—I can tell you're not human at a glance!

How...how did he know I was the Silver Dragon King?!

You must understand, she is no ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast, and it is absolutely impossible for a human titled Douluo to see through her rebuilt cultivation.

Even if Huo Yuhao still possessed the same peak cultivation level as ten thousand years ago, he would still be almost unable to discern her true identity...

Could it be that over these ten thousand years, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power at the Divine Origin Realm not only did not decline, but actually advanced further, reaching a true god-level, which is why he was able to see through her at a glance?

No, that's not right. After seeing Huo Yuhao in person, Gu Yuena could tell that his cultivation level had undoubtedly regressed.

Then why...?

In an instant, Gu Yuena's thoughts raced, and countless guesses flooded her mind.

She stared at Huo Yuhao, trying to find a flaw in his calm and meaningful smile.

"Please have a seat, Miss Gu Yuena."

Wearing a black swallowtail tuxedo, Huo Yuhao slightly raised his hand, gesturing towards the seat opposite her, his tone gentle and calm, "If I let you stand at the door, it would seem impolite of me, the one sitting here."

Gu Yuena closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed her surprise and uncertainty.

She took a step forward, slowly walked to the table, maintaining her composure, and then gently sat down.

"Miss Gu, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

Huo Yuhao pushed an exquisite menu in front of her, his expression as natural as if nothing had happened.

Gu Yuena glanced at the menu but didn't open it.

Then, she suddenly reached out and pressed the menu onto the table, making a soft sound.

She raised her eyes, a sharp glint in her purple pupils, and finally spoke her first words since they met:

"Since you've revealed my identity the moment we met... is this still the time for a leisurely meal, Lord Spirit Ice Douluo?"

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's eager opening remarks, Huo Yuhao's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, a sense of triumphant relief washing over him.

In fact, Huo Yuhao appears calm and composed on the surface, but it would be a lie to say that he is completely unmoved inside.

Facing this Silver Dragon King, whose peak strength was equivalent to a half-step God King, even if he had many trump cards, he was not a reincarnation of a God King and could not truly calmly interact with her.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao was initially a little flustered, which is why he lied to Gu Yuena and said that "something came up at the last minute," but in reality, he had already arrived at the restaurant and was already in place.

That's why Huo Yuhao decided to reveal the other party's most crucial secret at the very beginning of their meeting.

What he needed was to make Gu Yuena wary because her identity was suddenly revealed, and to plunge her into a vortex of suspicion about "how he found out".

As her thoughts were consumed by countless bizarre and exaggerated speculations, he quietly took control of the conversation.

Anyway, Gu Yuena would never have guessed that the reason Huo Yuhao knew her identity was very simple—he had read the script.

"That's not how it works, Your Majesty, Silver Dragon King. It's certainly not the time for leisure, but since we're here at the best restaurant in East Sea City, shouldn't we at least have a proper meal first?"

After saying that, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly at her, then beckoned to the waiter outside the door and calmly ordered several of Yundingxuan's signature dishes.

After the waiter left, the private room returned to silence.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt that the time was right—Gu Yuena's patience had been worn down to a certain extent, and it was time to get down to business.

He slightly suppressed his smile and said in a calm but clear tone:

"Well then, let's get back to the main topic. Miss Gu, after ten thousand years, we finally meet face to face. Why don't we both speak frankly and honestly... What do you think?"

Gu Yuena's slightly furrowed brows relaxed immediately after hearing Huo Yuhao's straightforward words.

"That's exactly what I was thinking too. I just don't know what Your Excellency Lingbing Douluo would like us to have a frank discussion about first?"

Her amethyst-like eyes, filled with scrutiny and curiosity, fell upon Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and after his gaze settled quietly on Gu Yuena's stunningly beautiful face, he said softly:

"Where to begin... I've got it. I think what Miss Gu wants to know most right now is how I was able to see through your true identity, isn't it?"

Huo Yuhao paused slightly, then subtly raised his fingertips.

"Please experience this. I'm sure Miss Gu will understand without me saying more."

As he finished speaking, an invisible yet powerful pressure spread out like a deep, dark current.

That was not soul power, but an aura that transcended the mortal realm and belonged to the divine level—it originated from the divine consciousness power of Electrox.

"This is……!"

The moment the divine pressure enveloped her, Gu Yuena sat up straight, her pupils slightly contracting.

Although this aura was far inferior to her peak God-King level, it was pure and ancient, undoubtedly at the divine level.

It shouldn't exist in this mortal realm.

Gu Yuena's thoughts raced through her mind in the blink of an eye, like a turbulent undercurrent beneath the surface of ice.

She originally thought Huo Yuhao was just an ordinary human who possessed great fortune ten thousand years ago. It was only with the blessing of that fortune that he grew against all odds...

But this is still not enough to explain the many extraordinary qualities that Huo Yuhao possessed ten thousand years ago.

Soon, a startling deduction emerged:

Could it be... that Huo Yuhao is actually a god reincarnated?!

Yes.

If not, how can we explain the divine artifact he wielded ten thousand years ago that touched upon the laws of time, space and causality, and whose power far exceeded common sense?

How do you explain "Soul Spirits," creations developed by him that are completely different from the underlying rules of this plane?

And how do you explain his return after ten thousand years of silence, and his possession of divine power sufficient to see through her true form?

The more Gu Yuena pondered, the more convinced she became of her conclusion.

The mind-blowing wisdom has come into play!
