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

Chapter 97 Gu Yuena: Long time no see, Yuhao.

He couldn't help but recall his experiences in the original timeline:

After coming into contact with the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Emperor Beast, Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes evolved into the powerful "Eye of Destiny" under the influence of the beast's aura containing the power of destiny.

Ten thousand years ago, with Tang San, a being born in the God Realm, secretly monitoring his every move, Huo Yuhao naturally dared not easily make contact with the Emperor-level auspicious beast.

He was terrified that if he made the slightest move, the Buddha Tang would find a weakness and take advantage of him to set a trap.

At that time, Huo Yuhao will not only be in danger of losing his own life, but it may also affect many subsequent plans.

But now, he has arrived in this era ten thousand years in the future, where the constraints of the past no longer exist, and there are no longer such restrictions.

"In that case—do I now have a chance to make contact with the current Imperial Beast, and then—"

..."

Huo Yuhao's thoughts drifted away, and a strange feeling stirred within him.

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he calmed down—this was probably not an easy thing to do.

After all, the Imperial Beast is related to the rise and fall of the entire Soul Beast race and is the core treasure of the Soul Beast race.

The soul beast race has always been wary of humans, so how could they allow a human soul master to have such intimate contact with a mythical beast, such as "forehead touching," thereby affecting the beast's luck power?

However, there is always a chance for things to turn around.

A thoughtful look flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes: If he could get the consent and support of Gu Yuena, the ruler of all soul beasts, would things be different?

He and Gu Yuena have already signed a bloodline contract, and they have a deep bond between them. Perhaps Gu Yuena is willing to help him with this favor.

But regardless of whether this matter is ultimately feasible or not, Huo Yuhao is very clear that this is definitely not something that can be forced.

The Soul Beast race has its own rules, and the fortune of the Emperor Beast is not to be disturbed lightly. One must take a "soft" approach, plan slowly and proceed step by step, in order to have a chance of success.

Moreover, although it is said that "having more skills is never a bad thing", Huo Yuhao is now reborn and will not encounter any obstacles on his way to the limit of cultivation.

Therefore, any new power that is useful to Huo Yuhao must be something that helps him break through to the god level or even create his own godhood.

The power fragments of the Seven Elemental Gods are certainly very useful, but the power of destiny of the Emperor Beast is not necessarily so—after all, the Emperor Beast is just a special soul beast, not some god-level being.

"However, even so, the power of destiny, a dimensional force, can indeed be considered related to the divine level —"

While pondering and planning for future power enhancement, Huo Yuhao's spaceship sped towards the mainland, soon to bring him back to Donghai City.

When Huo Yuhao reappeared at the classroom door of Class 0, Grade 1 at Donghai Academy, the students who were chatting and playing around during the break instantly stopped.

All eyes in the classroom turned to him, and everyone stared at him intently.

The three-month absence caused a dramatic change in Huo Yuhao's aura.

Now, Huo Yuhao exudes the powerful aura of a spirit-type soul master, and also carries an indescribable divine-level pressure, making him a completely different person compared to before.

"Oh my god—" Xie Xie, who was originally chatting enthusiastically with Wang Jinxi and a few other boys, was the first to react.

After blurting out a vulgar word in shock, his voice was filled with surprise and disbelief: "Boss Huo! You're finally back! I thought you'd dropped out of school, I never expected to see you at the academy!"

"Yuhao————"

Gu Yuena, who was chatting quietly with Xu Xiaoyan in the seat by the window, suddenly stiffened when she heard Xie Xie's shout.

She looked up in a daze, her gaze fixed on Huo Yuhao, and unconsciously murmured his name.

The next moment, upon seeing Huo Yuhao's face clearly, Gu Yuena couldn't help but reveal an undisguised joy, and the light in her eyes instantly shone brightly.

It had been a full three months since she last saw Huo Yuhao in Donghai City.

During these three months, without any news from him, Gu Yuena couldn't help but feel a little worried.

At the very moment that Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye Martial Soul underwent a qualitative change and was promoted to the Seven Luminaries Spirit Eye, Gu Yuena, who had a close bloodline contract with him, also clearly felt the powerful breakthrough aura emanating from him, as well as the seven elemental attribute fluctuations that were of the same origin as her own Silver Dragon King bloodline power.

That's why she was even more curious about Huo Yuhao's experiences during this period.

"Long time no see, Xie Xie, and everyone else."

Huo Yuhao met everyone's gaze with a gentle smile and nodded to Xie Xie and the other boys in Class Zero.

His gaze then moved quickly, finally settling on Gu Yuena, who had been staring at him, his eyes softening slightly.

The moment their eyes met, Gu Yuena felt as if she had been burned, momentarily unaccustomed to Huo Yuhao's long-absent gaze.

A slight blush rose to her cheeks, and she lowered her head shyly, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes, adding a touch of coquettish charm to her appearance.

Xu Xiaoyan sat to the side, taking in this somewhat ambiguous scene, and immediately understood what was going on.

She winked at Gu Yuena discreetly, then stood up quietly and whispered, "I'm going outside for some fresh air."

Immediately, Xu Xiaoyan quickly left the seat next to Gu Yuena that originally belonged to Huo Yuhao, tactfully giving the two of them some alone time.

"It's been a long time, Miss Gu."

Huo Yuhao stepped forward, gently pulled out a chair, and sat down next to Gu Yuena.

The elemental aura emanating from him intertwined with Gu Yuena's aura, creating an almost imperceptible sense of harmony.

Sensing the familiar yet unfamiliar presence beside her, Gu Yuena took a deep breath before slowly raising her head to meet Huo Yuhao's gaze once more.

Her voice carried a barely perceptible softness as she responded in a low voice, "—Yes, long time no see, Yuhao."

These few words, seemingly plain, actually conveyed her deep longing for the boy with whom she shared a blood pact.

Suppressing the surging emotions within her, Gu Yuena's eyes were filled with curiosity and joy as she couldn't help but ask, "What have you been doing lately? Why did you suddenly disappear for so long?"

Seeing the pure curiosity in Gu Yuena's eyes, Huo Yuhao had no intention of hiding anything.

He smiled slightly and began to tell the Silver Dragon Queen in detail what he had seen and heard after leaving East Sea City.

From their successful advancement to Black-Rank Executor after joining forces to arrest an evil Soul Master on the Soul Guild train to Heaven Dou City, to their fortunate encounter with the Divine Craftsman Mu Chen at the Blacksmith Association upon arrival in Heaven Dou City, and then to their subsequent journey with the current Sect Master of the Body Sect, Mu Ye, to the extremely dangerous Seven Elemental Forbidden Land overseas, undergoing a full forty-nine days of extreme body tempering and Martial Soul awakening—

Huo Yuhao recounted his experiences during this period without reservation, telling Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, as if telling a story.
