Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 178 The Ruthless Huo Yuhao

Once this soul-detonating spell is used, the recipient will have no chance of reincarnation; their entire soul will be released as energy, like explosives.

Even the knowledge Electrolux gave him only contained general descriptions, without specific methods of casting spells.

"Is this really Huo Yuhao? How did he change so much? Did Ma Xiaotao and Dai Hao really have such a big impact on him?"

Xu Yang narrowed his eyes, and based on the changes that had occurred since Huo Yuhao met Dai Hao, he began to speculate that there were three main reasons why Huo Yuhao was so cruel.

First, Ma Xiaotao's infatuation with Dai Hao when he first appeared was noticed by the sensitive Huo Yuhao. His pure and innocent love as a young boy had led him to consider Ma Xiaotao his possession. Ma Xiaotao's actions undoubtedly deeply wounded Huo Yuhao's sensitive and vulnerable heart.

Secondly, Dai Hao's appearance reminded him of his deceased mother. Furthermore, Dai Yueheng's words acted as a catalyst, pushing Huo Yuhao's suppressed anger to its peak.

Thirdly, the Grim Reaper's dying words, "You motherless bastard," unfortunately struck a nerve with Huo Yuhao.

That's why this scene happened.

"Unbeknownst to many, his Otto clone had such a significant impact on Huo Yuhao?"

He admitted that he had indeed played matchmaker for the two of them to provide some entertainment. But he didn't do anything else; in fact, Huo Yuhao's soul tool level had even improved compared to before.

Moreover, he knew through the mimicry of the Feather Crossing that even during the incident in Ma Xiaotao's room, Huo Yuhao still had a choice.

Hyotei can forcibly interrupt the state of the two.

This was something even Xu Yang hadn't expected.

But it doesn't matter anymore, since Xu Yang has never considered himself a good person anyway.

Besides, whether something is good or bad is simply a matter of perspective. In the eyes of Shrek Academy and Tang San, he might be an unstable factor threatening the continent, but in the eyes of others, he might be something else entirely—

The Grim Reaper's body exploded, just like the corpses he had previously used his Corpse Explosion Technique on.

Blood and fragments splattered on Huo Yuhao's face, but he didn't flinch; instead, he showed an expression of enjoyment.

Huo Yuhao looked into the cave; he still had residual power within him.

"Should we kill Dai Yueheng and let Dai Hao experience the pain of losing a son? And Sister Xiaotao, if we use that method, you can belong to me completely—"

"You are mine, and you can only be mine!"

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to continue, a long sigh rang out.

Huo Yuhao also came to his senses.

"What happened? What just happened to me?"

Huo Yuhao covered his head with his hands and knelt on the ground.

He felt immense pain, even more so than when he fused with the Ice Emperor's soul bone. His eyelids inexplicably began to feel heavy, and he eventually drifted off to sleep without realizing it.

Xu Yang finally came out. At the same time, Di Tian also came over with the Conferred God Platform containing Xuanzi. As for Zhang Lexuan, she had been staying by Xu Yang's side the whole time.

The reason given was to protect Xu Yang's safety.

Although Xu Yang didn't believe there was anything threatening his safety, Zhang Lexuan stood silently beside him.

Xu Yang couldn't very well send him away, could he?

Huo Yuhao fainted entirely because Xu Yang had just used the Mimicry Feather Dust.

He didn't want the Ice Emperor and Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm inside Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea to hear the following conversation.

Speaking of Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Xu Yang couldn't help but complain.

It was so lively! It started as a three-player game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), then evolved into a four-player game of Mahjong. Eventually, with the addition of Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong, it was enough to make a full-fledged "Army Eight" game.

Huo Yuhao fell into a deep sleep, and Electrolux officially took over his body.

So Huo Yuhao stood up again in a way that seemed very strange to others, this time his eyes were pure gray.

However, Huo Yuhao's voice sounded very old to Zhang Lexuan and Di Tian.

The two had noticed Huo Yuhao's special characteristics earlier, but they were unaware of Electrolux's existence, which is why they looked surprised.

At the same time, he couldn't help but start circulating his soul power to protect Xu Yang.

Electrolux spoke first: "We meet again, young friend."

"It seems that you and I are truly destined to meet, and this time you've brought two very interesting people with you."

"A genius girl in her early twenties who can cultivate to the near-ninth level, and another—a super magical beast that is infinitely close to a god. Its bloodline is weaker than the one that was with you last time."

"Oh, if we follow the naming convention of Douluo Continent, they should be called Soul Beasts."

Xu Yang patted Zhang Lexuan and Di Tian on the shoulder respectively, signaling them not to be so nervous.

He stepped forward, speaking in a calm tone.

"Indeed, senior."

"To be honest, my purpose this time doesn't really have much to do with you. I was just looking for some experimental materials, but—it seems I've discovered something quite interesting."

Xu Yang pointed at Huo Yuhao.

"Were you testing this little guy just now?"

"What, does it meet your standards?"

Electrolux couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing Xu Yang's words.

Moreover, it was Huo Yuhao's body that Xu Yang found a bit strange and indescribable.

"I do have that thought. When I accidentally entered this little guy's spiritual sea, I felt a kind of guidance from fate. At my level, such guidance usually foreshadows something."

"So I followed that guidance and entered this little guy's spiritual sea. At first, I saw that this little guy was resolute..."

He was hardworking and ambitious, and had initially considered taking on a disciple.

"But—the result doesn't seem to be what I expected, yet the guiding force still seems to want me to do it this way. So I decided to take another look, and that's how this situation came about."

"I mobilized a portion of the giant worm's power so that this little guy could control it himself. At the same time, I taught him a lot of magic through knowledge instillation, hoping to see how this little guy would choose."

"However, it seems to be a bit too disappointing."

"This little guy harbors far too much evil in his heart."

"Having hatred and being able to become stronger because of it is a good thing."

"It's a pity he seems to be completely blinded by hatred—"

"Moreover, it seems he's become a bit too obsessed with power."

Electrolux finished speaking and then let out a long sigh, as if he had remembered something.

"Oh, if you'd like to move to another place, I can help you. Of course, there are conditions; you can choose to overdraft some of your future salary first."

Xu Yang chuckled, as if extending an invitation.

Electrolux was somewhat tempted, but seemed to still have some lingering feelings for Huo Yuhao.

Xu Yang noticed Electrolux's inner conflict.

He hadn't expected that this matter would actually work, and with that thought, Xu Yang had a new idea, even though he wasn't sure if it would succeed.

But—what if?

"If you really don't want to, I have a suggestion you can listen to."
