Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao's Path of the Knights

A pair of bright eyes gazed at the armored figure before him. After a moment, the eleven-year-old boy nodded gently.

"You are my saviors. I trust you, and I will stay with you during this time."

Huo Yuhao wasn't sure if his choice was right, but he didn't seem to have any other options at the moment.

They saved my life. Without their help, I would probably have become food for the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest long ago.

Moreover, I don't have any plans for the future right now. Maybe by spending this time with them, I can figure out my future path.

"By the way, what's your name? I'd like to know how I should address you as we spend time together."

"We're just Kamen Riders passing by. Names don't matter. As for how you'd address me, what do you think you'd call me?"

The armored man tilted his head, asking with a faint smile in his voice.

"Uh... Armored Guy?"

Huo Yuhao spoke uncertainly. The most distinctive feature of the person in front of him was that he was wearing full armor, so he could only tentatively call him "Armor Bro".

"Ha, Armor Bro, although it doesn't quite fit my true personality, it can be used as a nickname. In that case, you can call me that from now on, kid."

"Okay, armored guy, but I remember you had a companion..."

Huo Yuhao recalled the person next to Armored Bro earlier, who was wearing a black trench coat and had a serious expression, looking somewhat unapproachable.

"He doesn't like being called by strange names, especially not names like 'cold-faced, ruthless man in a dark trench coat.' Don't ask me why or how I know, it's just not okay. So you can just call him 'Boss.'"

"Big...big boss?"

That sounds like a strange name...

As Huo Yuhao was thinking this, the door to the room opened, and the man in the black trench coat walked in.

"Hello, boss!"

Upon seeing another savior, Huo Yuhao instinctively straightened his posture and greeted him respectfully.

Upon hearing the other person's address, the man in the trench coat paused, then glanced at the armored man beside him who seemed completely unfazed.

"Hey, you're back, buddy. How did the investigation go?"

The armored man feigned innocence and calmly asked the man in the trench coat.

Ignoring the armored man's words, the man in the trench coat turned to look at Huo Yuhao, who was sitting on the hospital bed:

"Is it fully recovered?"

"Not yet. Judging from his condition, it will take him quite a while to completely get rid of the belt. But fortunately, his situation is special and he can come with us. So we just need to wait until he can get out of bed, and then we can set off. It should be around tomorrow."

The armored man answered Huo Yuhao's question, while the man in the trench coat remained silent for a moment upon hearing this.

"What's your name?" the man in the trench coat asked suddenly, staring at Huo Yuhao.

"My name is Huo Yuhao."

"..."

The man in the trench coat nodded, left the room after saying "Leaving tomorrow," and then departed.

Call ~

Seeing the big shot leave, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He had felt a lot of pressure when he was with this big shot.

"Don't be so scared. Although he seems unapproachable, you'll soon realize that he really is difficult to get along with before you get to know him. But even after you do get to know him, he's still not easy to get along with, and it will be even more difficult to become familiar with him."

"Forehead……"

Huo Yuhao didn't know how to respond to Armor Guy's remarks.

"Alright, I won't bother you any longer, young man. Get some rest today. I hope you can get out of bed and walk tomorrow. Otherwise, if you really can't walk, I'll have to carry you on my back. I don't want to have any more burdens on my shoulders."

The armored man reached out and gently rubbed Huo Yuhao's head, then quickly walked to the door and pushed it open.

"..."

Huo Yuhao was the only one left in the room. The eleven-year-old boy sat on the hospital bed, head down and silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Leaving with two strangers and embarking on an unknown journey, Huo Yuhao was unsure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for him.

But he has no choice now; his future is shrouded in mist, and this eleven-year-old boy can't see his future direction at all.

"At least I now have my own spirit ring and have become a true spirit master, although I don't know where this spirit ring came from..."

Huo Yuhao chuckled softly, trying to comfort himself by mentioning that he had become a Soul Master, hoping to improve his mood.

However, the thought that he had only just become a Soul Master and that revenge was still a long way off caused the boy's slightly improved mood to plummet again.

"Mother……"

Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, his eyes lowered, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

"No matter what, I will avenge you!"

Even though the future is bleak and he can't see it clearly, Huo Yuhao has no intention of giving up. His eyes are filled with determination. Avenging his mother is the only belief that keeps this eleven-year-old boy going!

Outside the room, the armored man and the man in the trench coat were standing in the corridor.

"This young man looks somewhat like you, buddy."

"..."

The man in the trench coat remained silent, staring at the floor.

"By the way, did you find any information about the Zerg in this world?"

"no."

"Huh? There isn't one? Logically speaking, since there are alien insects in this world, there shouldn't be only one."

"They seem to have appeared only recently."

The man in the trench coat spoke calmly, and the armored man nodded in response:

"That makes sense. Perhaps those alien insects have only recently appeared in this world, and there are some places where they haven't been detected yet."

As he spoke, the armored man sighed, his left hand instinctively resting on his hip:

"I was hoping to find a way out quickly, but it turns out this place isn't peaceful either. It's a world being targeted by alien insects..."

"..."

"Hey buddy, where are we going next? We can't just fly around like headless chickens, can we? Besides, we still have that boy with us, so we can't go to any dangerous places."

"..."

After a long silence, the man in the trench coat spoke:

"Alien insects."

"Is the main goal to find the Zerg and search for clues about them? That's a good objective, but there probably aren't any clues about the Zerg in these small towns. If we want to gather information about the Zerg, we'll have to go to the big cities."

As they spoke, the armored man took out the map they had bought and unfolded it, showing the distribution of various empires in this world.
