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

Guanglong walked into the shop, glanced curiously at Huo Yuhao and the others sitting inside, and then sat down near the entrance.

Huo Yuhao stared at the burly figure's back, while digging into his memory for that name.

He was dressed in a dashing federal police uniform, and also exuded the soul power fluctuations of a fourth-ring Soul Master.

Soon, Uncle Li, the owner, served him a table full of rice and braised beef, then greeted him warmly:

"Officer Guanglong, how's work lately?"

"Haha, that's great! The security in Donghai City is very good now. I patrol the city every day, and it's just like taking a walk."

"If the security is good, why are you still patrolling? It's too tiring!"

"Hey, what's the matter... We can't slack off on our daily work! What if something happens in the city because I'm lazy for a day?"

Moreover, as a Soul Master possessing Martial Soul power, one should set an example. You go ahead and get busy, Uncle Li!

After Guanglong finished speaking with righteous indignation, he began to eat heartily.

"It's truly wonderful that Donghai City has a Soul Master police officer like you..." Uncle Li exclaimed with emotion and admiration in a low voice. "Then I'll be going now. Enjoy your meal!"

"good!"

After listening to their conversation, Huo Yuhao finally remembered who this Guanglong was.

"Guanglong... isn't that the thug from the original story who came to the food street to collect protection money?"

Huo Yuhao thought to himself, quite surprised.

How did he suddenly transform into a federal police officer and put on a federal police uniform?

Soon, Huo Yuhao, recalling the fact that his soul power fluctuations were two levels higher than those in the original work, seemed to understand the reason behind it.

In the original work, he came from an ordinary family after his parents died.

Even though his martial spirit was of good quality, Guanglong could only have his older brother Guangbiao purchase a decent spirit from the Spirit Pagoda, so that he could have the opportunity to cultivate and grow at a young age.

Therefore, Guanglong's cultivation level was only at the second ring after he grew up. His personality also became cynical because of this experience, which led him to become a thug who oppressed ordinary people and took up a gangster job collecting protection money.

So, why is this Light Dragon...?

After recalling the information from the original work, Huo Yuhao immediately took out his Soul Guidance Phone, intending to verify a guess in his mind.

As expected, Huo Yuhao found information about the Light Dragon in the Spirit Pagoda's internal database:

Guanglong, possessing the Ironclad Dragon Martial Soul, was granted B-rank Soul Master support at the age of six after being assessed by the Spirit Pagoda, receiving free Soul Spirit assistance...

Although his cultivation talent was not as good as his older brother Guangbiao, who already had seven rings, his eligibility for subsequent Soul Master support decreased, he still managed to cultivate to the fourth ring.

As a way to repay the "Soul Loan" from the Spirit Pagoda, Guanglong became a police officer in the Sun and Moon Federation after reaching adulthood, and his monthly salary was reduced due to the repayment.

After all, in this day and age, the Spirit Pagoda is no longer considered a "private organization" and has an extremely close cooperative relationship with the Sun and Moon Federation.

Therefore, a large portion of the funding for the Spirit Pagoda's soul subsidies comes directly from the Sun and Moon Federation.

Through this cooperative approach, many Soul Masters who grew up with the support and subsidies of the Spirit Pagoda have become staff members of federal government departments, contributing their strength to the country.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao fully understood everything and turned off his phone with a moved expression.

He slowly put the last bite of beef into his mouth, and was filled with emotion.

Huo Yuhao never imagined that his small effort ten thousand years ago could actually change the life of such an insignificant person ten thousand years later.

After all five children finished eating, Huo Yuhao didn't stand up to leave. Instead, under the curious gazes of the other four, he said:

"You guys can wander around the area for a bit, I'll come find you later."

"Perfect timing, Xie Xie, you often come to this food street, right? Could you please show them around and see if there's anything else good to eat?"

"what?"

Should I take them to find some good food? Me?

Feeling like he'd been used as a guide, Xie Xie was taken aback, then stood up and quickly replied:

"Oh, I do come here often...no problem."

Xie Xie had no objection to this, after all, he also wanted to build a good relationship with Huo Yuhao and other geniuses of the Spirit Pagoda who were surprisingly easy to get along with.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't said that, Xie Xie really wouldn't have been able to stay with the other three girls any longer; he probably would have had to find an excuse to sneak back to school first.

"Yuhao, hurry up!"

Hearing that there were delicious snacks to enjoy, Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up, and she happily reached out to ruffle Huo Yuhao's hair.

"If you're late, I'll buy you some snacks in advance~"

She smiled, her eyes crinkling, and spoke in an affectionate tone.

"We'll wait for you, bye-bye."

Behind Meng Hongchen, Ye Guyi also acted playfully, gently patting Huo Yuhao's head with a slight smile.

As Gu Yuena finally stood up and walked past Huo Yuhao, she paused slightly and met his gaze.

Then, she gave him a slight, curious smile and nodded.

As for Xie Xie, he was stunned when Meng Hongchen reached out and ruffled Huo Yuhao's hair.

He stared blankly as Ye Guyi naturally nudged Huo Yuhao, and even Gu Yuena, who was usually aloof and seemed to keep her distance from everyone, actually gave him such a gentle smile—

So, once your cultivation reaches a certain level, you can... enjoy this kind of "romantic bliss"?

As a boy, Xie Xie unconsciously swallowed, his gaze shifting between Huo Yuhao and the three girls' backs.

Immediately afterwards, an unprecedented surge of cultivation motivation rushed into his heart—

He wants to become like Huo Yuhao in the future, so that many beautiful girls will surround him!

"Bye-bye, I'll be right there." Huo Yuhao smiled as he watched the three girls leave the shop led by Xie Xie.

After the four people left, Huo Yuhao got up and slowly walked towards Officer Guanglong, who was enjoying his meal.

There are some things... he'd rather hear from someone else than read the cold records in a database.

After Huo Yuhao walked to Guanglong's side, he looked up and greeted him in a very childlike voice:

"Officer, are you a Soul Master?"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's voice, Guanglong, who had been engrossed in eating, was suddenly startled.

After realizing what was happening, he looked up at Huo Yuhao, and a warm smile appeared on his somewhat fierce face:

"Yes, little one. What's wrong?"

"So how strong are you?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up, and his tone was excited; he was just like a simple child who admired a powerful Soul Master.

So, Guanglong put down his chopsticks and replied with a hint of smugness:

"Hmph, although Uncle isn't that powerful, he's still a four-ring Soul Master!"
