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

Chapter 68 Gu Yuena's Dilemma

The sunlight streamed into the classroom through the glass windows, marking the end of today's lessons for Class Zero.

Gu Yuena saw Xie Xie and Wei Xiaofeng's trio chatting and laughing as they packed their things and then walked out the door.

"In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed —"

She took out her phone, glanced at the date on the screen, and thought to herself with some emotion.

"Finally, school's over!" Xu Xiaoyan got up from her seat on the other side of the classroom, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Gu Yuena, want to go out for dinner together?"

As the only two girls in the class, their relationship naturally grew much closer over the past six months.

Although Meng Hongchen and Ye Guyi were also female classmates in Class Zero, they were always skipping classes.

Therefore, the lonely Xu Xiaoyan had no choice but to socialize more with Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena glanced at Huo Yuhao and the others' seats, then nodded slightly: "Okay."

Xu Xiaoyan wasn't the only one who felt lonely; she felt the same way.

However, Xu Xiaoyan felt lonely because there were very few girls who came to the class often, and she couldn't get along with Xie Xie and the other three boys.

As for Gu Yuena, it was because she had rarely seen Huo Yuhao and the others during this period.

For Gu Yuena, this loneliness was like a close friend suddenly stopping coming to school.

Since Huo Yuhao and his three companions stopped coming to Donghai Academy so often, Gu Yuena's life hasn't been as enjoyable as the first three months when she spent every day sparring, chatting, and playing with them.

Outside the teaching building, Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yuena walked side by side in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Tell me, what do Huo Yuhao and the others usually do? They never come to school—" Xu Xiaoyan said enviously. "I really envy them because they don't have to go to class!"

"I don't know—" Gu Yuena shook her head.

In fact, she could have taken the initiative to ask Huo Yuhao and the others what they had been doing all this time.

However, seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't tell her anything, Gu Yuena felt embarrassed to ask anything herself.

It might be something secret.

However, after being asked this question by Xu Xiaoyan, Gu Yuena hesitated again.

Given her current relationship with Huo Yuhao's family—shouldn't she at least ask about this kind of thing?

Even if it's a secret, Huo Yuhao would definitely hint to her that it's something that can't be told.

After all, this reincarnated deity was so understanding—understanding the dragon's will.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuena suddenly felt an urge to take out her phone and send a message to Huo Yuhao.

But as soon as Gu Yuena put her hand on the phone in her pocket, she hesitated again.

"I'm so conflicted."

Beneath her calm and composed expression lay Gu Yuena's wavering thoughts.

one way or another----

Before returning to the Spirit Pagoda after having dinner with Xu Xiaoyan today, she has to make a decision!

Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Spirit Pagoda Execution Department in Donghai City.

"After completing a few more missions—we'll be able to become a Black-level Executor Squad."

A young man wearing a purple mask looked at the information on the self-service kiosks screen in the lobby and spoke to his three companions, who were also wearing purple masks.

The person speaking was none other than Huo Yuhao, who had disguised his appearance.

Beside him were his three family members: Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ye Guyi.

Since joining the Spirit Pagoda's Execution Department six months ago, the four of them have been working in small teams, continuously taking on missions within the department and then going out on missions.

Therefore, they rarely attended classes at Donghai Academy during this period.

At first, Huo Yuhao, who knew nothing about this department, was quite curious.

After all, ten thousand years ago, Huo Yuhao entered a state of hibernation when he was in his twenties and did not personally participate in the development and construction of the Spirit Pagoda.

-

He only conducted overall planning and determined a simple blueprint for the future development of the Spirit Pagoda in the first few years after its establishment.

Departments like the Execution Department, which are subordinate departments within the Spirit Pagoda that are not responsible for soul-related work, all appeared during the past ten thousand years, so Huo Yuhao naturally doesn't know anything about them.

Soon, after Huo Yuhao joined the Spirit Pagoda's Executive Department under the false identity of "Huo Yun," he quickly discovered that this was none other than the Soul Fighting Hall, one of the three inner halls of the Tang Sect in the original work.

Their duties are all to help the country protect the weak and punish evil, and their greatest enemies are all evil spirit masters, not to mention that.

The internal members are also classified according to the color of their soul rings, into white, yellow, purple, black, and red levels.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised.

After all, the Tang Clan, after its decline ten thousand years ago, did not achieve the revival that Huo Yuhao did in the original work.

So another ten thousand years passed. Although the Tang Clan did not completely perish, it experienced several resurgences during those ten thousand years.

However, this revival was only a flash in the pan. The Tang Clan of today is still no match for the scale in the original work; it is just a small sect with a historical legacy.

In this way, with the Tang Sect's Soul Hall absent from the Douluo Continent, this niche was naturally replaced by the Spirit Pagoda's Executive Department.

Of course, while the Spirit Pagoda's Executive Department and the Tang Sect's Fighting Soul Hall are similar, they differ considerably in specific details.

For example, the Spirit Pagoda's execution department has a large number of executors, while the Tang Sect's Soul Fighting Hall in the original work only has two hundred people (I searched the original work, and that's what it says there—but I always feel that the author is talking nonsense, how could there be so few).

Compared to the rare "official elite positions" like Fighters in the Soul Hall, Executors are more like a convenient part-time job for contemporary Soul Masters, offering a certain degree of freedom in their identity.

If you are willing to punish evil and promote good, serve the country, and want to gain some benefits from the Spirit Pagoda by carrying out missions, but do not want to make this your main profession and cause your daily life to be too restricted, you can become an executor of the Spirit Pagoda's Execution Department.

The upgrade method within the Spirit Pagoda's Executive Department also differs from that of the Tang Sect's Soul Hall, which primarily values ​​the Battle Armor Master level of Battle Warriors.

Because the Executive Department is more like an "Adventurer's Guild" than a formal department like the Fighting Soul Hall, it fully respects each member's need to protect their privacy.

If a Soul Master who wants to join the Execution Department does not want to reveal their Martial Soul and cultivation level, they only need to provide their Sun Moon Federation citizenship, which has been registered and verified within the Spirit Pagoda, to become an Executor.

The way for executors to upgrade is quite simple and direct: as long as they complete a certain number of tasks of the same level within the Execution Department, they can be upgraded and have the ability to take on higher-level tasks.

Upon successful completion of the mission, the executor will receive contribution points as a reward—similar to the Tang Clan in the original work.

This made Huo Yuhao suspect that the staff who were originally responsible for establishing the Soul Hall system in the Tang Sect had most likely come to the Spirit Pagoda to be responsible for establishing the Execution Department system in the current timeline.
