Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao's Path of the Knights

After an unknown amount of time, when the boy finished the simulation and returned to his dormitory, he was still depressed.

He killed the alien insects and absorbed their soul rings, but he couldn't bring back those who were killed by the alien insects.

Those targeted by the alien insects are just like my former self.

If it weren't for the big boss and the armored guy arriving in time, I probably would have fallen into a pool of blood like them and gradually stopped breathing.

The armored guy and the big boss were able to catch up and save him, but he couldn't save them...

The boy subconsciously lowered his eyes and clenched his fists.

He knew he couldn't save everyone, and he understood that those people were strangers to him; their deaths wouldn't really affect him, and had little to do with him...

But the boy doesn't want such a tragedy to happen again!

He wants to become stronger, strong enough to prevent such a tragedy from happening again!

Raising his head, Huo Yuhao's eyes regained their usual brightness, and his handsome face was full of determination.

Since the armored guy and the big boss believe in him, he can't let them down!

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, stopped thinking about it, and activated his simulated soul skill again.

This time, he wasn't going out; instead, he took out the communicator that Armor Guy had given him.

Huo Yuhao hadn't used this communication device much; he didn't want to bother Armored Brother and the others with his own trivial matters.

But things are different now. The Zerg have appeared in Mingdu, the capital of the Sun and Moon Empire!

Even though it only occurred in older urban areas, it still illustrates the seriousness of the problem!

"If even Mingdu has seen alien insects, then there might be even more in other places!"

A sense of urgency rose from the boy's heart. He was well aware of the dangers posed by the alien insects, so he decided to tell Armored Guy about it.

Following the instructions given to him by the armored man, Huo Yuhao sent the information about the alien insects.

"Now we just have to wait for Armor Guy and the others to reply."

Putting away the communicator and deactivating the simulated soul skill, Huo Yuhao did not relax but instead seized the time to begin cultivating.

The reappearance of the alien insects made the boy feel an involuntary sense of urgency, a suffocating feeling that he might die at any moment surrounded him.

While Huo Yuhao was focused on his cultivation, in the special research room of Mingde Hall, Dean Jing Hongchen was looking at the items that had been delivered to him with a serious expression.

The object was neither a special treasure nor a rare soul tool, but rather several green corpses.

That was the corpse of the alien insect that Huo Yuhao had just killed.

"Can anyone tell me how these things ended up in Mingdu, and who killed them?!"

Jing Hongchen's voice was filled with anger, and the pressure of a Title Douluo swept outwards.

"Master, this matter was handled poorly on our part, allowing these beasts to slip into Mingdu..."

"Incompetent? Ha..."

Jing Hongchen snorted coldly, his disdain evident in his words.

"You don't know how these things got into Mingdu, you don't know that people were killed, and you don't even know who killed them! Is this incompetence? This is utter incompetence!"

"These beasts appeared in the old city today, but what if they appeared at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, what if they appeared in the Mingde Hall, what if they appeared in the Imperial Palace? Can you still bear the responsibility?!"

Faced with Jing Hongchen's angry curses, everyone around lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

"I don't care what methods you use or how much money you spend, you must find out everything about these beasts!"

"Yes, Master, we will definitely complete the mission!"

"That sounds nice, but I want to see the results. If you can't even handle these things, then I should consider replacing you with a more capable team!"

"yes!"

……

Huo Yuhao was unaware of what had happened inside Mingde Hall.

The appearance of the alien insects caused him an unusual sense of tension, so Huo Yuhao devoted all his time to studying and cultivating these days.

Huo Yuhao compressed his mealtimes to the extreme, and even the matter of learning to cook from the butler was temporarily put aside.

Blood and corpses littered the ground, the terrifying and eerie presence of the alien insects...

That day's experience ignited a sense of crisis in the boy's heart, and his desire for strength was amplified infinitely!

The existence of the alien insects was like a Damocles' sword hanging over the boy's head, forcing Huo Yuhao to keep moving forward.

Yuhao's state quickly attracted the attention of those around him.

"Yuhao, while studying and cultivating are important, you can't keep studying like this, neglecting sleep and meals."

"Pushing yourself so hard won't do you any good, either for your body or your mind!"

Inside the dean's office, Jing Hongchen earnestly advised Huo Yuhao, a hint of worry in her eyes.

During this period of teaching, he could see Huo Yuhao's excellence and diligence, and knew how hard this child worked.

But recently, he noticed that Huo Yuhao seemed to have been stimulated by something.

Huo Yuhao, who was already diligent in his training, became even more relentless, frantically squeezing every last drop of time and energy from his practice.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I've been too stressed lately."

"Remember to relax, give yourself some rest time, catch your breath. Not everything can be accomplished overnight, so don't overwork yourself!"

"I'll be careful, teacher!"

After leaving the dean's office, Huo Yuhao went straight back to his dormitory.

Back in his dormitory, the boy instinctively wanted to start cultivating, but then he suddenly remembered what the dean had just said.

"Want to relax...?"

Huo Yuhao murmured softly, wanting to try to slow down as his teacher had suggested.

But whenever he relaxed, the image of corpses scattered on the ground would reappear in the boy's mind, and at the same time, certain voices would always echo in his heart:

If he doesn't become stronger quickly and doesn't give it his all, then he, his friends, his benefactors, and everyone he cares about could become those corpses...

He hasn't avenged his mother yet, hasn't fulfilled his deepest desire, and can't give up now!

and……

He has lost his mother...

He didn't want to lose anyone else!

Panic and anxiety lingered in the boy's heart, making Huo Yuhao feel unusually heavy and making it difficult to breathe.

Such a tragic future must never happen!

A feeling of suffocation welled up in Huo Yuhao's heart, and he subconsciously wanted to continue cultivating, but before he could start, he sensed something.

The martial spirit is released, simulating the activation of a soul skill.

Then, Huo Yuhao took out the communicator that Nightshade had given him.

After sending the message, he finally received a reply from Armored Guy on his communicator.

"Hey kid, wanna chat?"

Huo Yuhao blinked lightly, then replied:

"That's awesome, Armor Guy."

The moment Huo Yuhao finished sending the message, the communicator in his hand began to flash, and a bright light flew out and landed beside Huo Yuhao.

"Hey kid, how have you been lately?"
