Douluo Continent: The Great Summoner Huo Yuhao

White Tiger's Fierce Light Wave!

A blinding white light shot out from Dai Huabin's mouth.

Huo Yuhao did not take the hit head-on. Instead, he moved like a ghost to the side, and his third spirit ring suddenly lit up.

Millennium Soul Skill, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!

His muscles swelled up all over his body, and even light golden hair appeared on the surface of his skin.

His speed increased dramatically, and he was right in front of Dai Huabin the instant he turned around, his tiger claws aimed straight for his throat.

Dai Huabin hastily blocked the attack, but was forced back several steps by the force of the claw, and felt a sweet taste in his throat.

"You..." He was filled with shock and anger.

How can this bastard's power be so strong?!

Huo Yuhao gave him no chance to breathe, his tiger claws turning into countless afterimages, each strike aimed straight for vital points.

Dai Huabin tried to defend himself, but was forced to retreat step by step. His hand was cracked from the impact, and blood dripped down his wrist.

Huo Yuhao's offensive became increasingly fierce.

The power of the White Tiger roared within him, each claw carrying intense hatred.

White Tiger!

Ha! White Tiger!

Dai Huabin's defense finally showed a flaw.

Huo Yuhao left five deep, bone-revealing bloody gashes on his chest with a single claw strike.

Dai Huabin groaned in pain, his third soul ring flashed, and the White Tiger Demon God Transformation was activated!

His aura surged, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

"Die!" Dai Huabin roared as he charged forward, twice as fast as before.

Huo Yuhao smiled.

We've been waiting for this moment.

He stopped dodging and charged at Dai Huabin. Their tiger claws collided, producing a deafening roar.

The shockwave exploded outwards from them.

Dai Huabin's tiger claw pierced Huo Yuhao's left shoulder.

Huo Yuhao's tiger claw pressed against Dai Huabin's chest, and a dagger had appeared in his hand.

White Tiger Dagger.

"You lost," Huo Yuhao said softly, wanting to see what Dai Huabin's expression was like before he died.

Dai Huabin stared wide-eyed at the dagger pressed against his heart; if it went in just one more inch, it would pierce his heart.

"Kill me then," Dai Huabin grinned, his mouth full of blood. "Kill me, and you bastard won't survive either. Shrek Academy won't let you go, and neither will your father... You'll be hunted down to the ends of the earth."

"It doesn't matter." Huo Yuhao exerted a little force.

As a last will and testament, it's quite good, as arrogant as ever.

Dai Huabin's skin was punctured, and blood seeped out.

Just then...

An irresistible force descended from the sky, firmly binding Huo Yuhao's body.

He could not move forward an inch further.

"What..." Huo Yuhao struggled, but couldn't move.

Dai Huabin was also stunned.

Space began to distort, and countless points of light converged around Huo Yuhao, forming a swirling vortex. Huo Yuhao felt his body being pulled apart, and the scene before him began to blur.

"No!" He refused to accept it!

So close!

I was so close to killing this beast!

Dai Huabin's face receded from view...

Huo Yuhao reached out, trying to grasp something, but only grasped nothingness.

This is a forced transfer.

……

Tiandou City

When his vision cleared again, Huo Yuhao found himself standing on an unfamiliar street.

He gritted his teeth, raised his head, and looked around.

A completely unfamiliar city with absolutely no prior knowledge of it.

"Why! Didn't you let me choose? I chose revenge, why are you stopping me at the last moment!"

Huo Yuhao shouted towards the sky, attracting the attention of many passersby.

However, that's how the world of Soul Masters is. People are generally used to seeing someone like Huo Yuhao suddenly go crazy and shout for revenge.

"This is Tiandou City. I just want you to see what consequences your choices have led to."

Tang San's voice rang in Huo Yuhao's ears.

"Heavenly Dou City!?" The sudden appearance of this name made Huo Yuhao feel uneasy.

What does that mean?

Could it be that Tang Ya is in danger...?

This thought made him quicken his pace.

I asked a passerby where the Tang Clan was, but all I got was the answer that the Tang Clan had been wiped out many years ago.

After crossing two streets, we arrived at the former site of the Tang Clan.

Tang Ya stood at the door, her long hair simply tied back, staring intently at the door in front of her with gritted teeth.

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, she's alright.

He was about to step forward when he found himself unable to move once again.

The tragedy of the young girl was unfolding before Huo Yuhao's eyes, but even though he was there, he was like a spectator, unable to do anything but watch as Tang Ya, driven by revenge, gradually went mad and was eventually taken away by an evil soul master.

He stood there blankly...

Then, that voice rang out.

Cold and imposing.

"Dai Yuhao."

At some point, Huo Yuhao returned to the secret realm behind the Haotian Sect.

"Look what you've done."

"Driven by personal vendetta, you infiltrated Shrek Academy and fought Dai Huabin to the death." The voice spoke each word clearly, "Do you know that during the time you were so determined to seek revenge, Tang Ya, too, was driven mad by the same vengeance?"

"I..." Huo Yuhao opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

"You think you're so smart? You think revenge is everything?" Tang San's voice grew increasingly stern. "Tang Ya saved your life and invited you to join the Tang Clan. Have you ever considered this kindness?"

"..." Huo Yuhao fell silent.

"Revenge, and then what?" Tang San's divine sense questioned.

Huo Yuhao fell into self-doubt.

If... if he comes directly to Heaven Dou City...

If he puts aside his hatred, he will first repay the kindness he received...

"For personal revenge, you disregarded gratitude." Tang San's voice was like a judgment. "To kill Dai Huabin, you put the person who saved you in danger. Dai Yuhao, is this your choice?"

"No..." Huo Yuhao clutched his head, "It's not like that..."

"I gave you a chance. In the secret realm, I said, 'An eye for an eye leads to another, and returning to one's ancestral home is the right path.' I let you be reborn as Dai Yuhao in the hope that you can let go of the past and live with dignity as the son of the White Tiger Duke."

"But you chose a different path."

"You chose hatred."

"Now you see," Tang San said through his divine sense, "because of your stubbornness, Tang Ya was taken away by an evil soul master. You should know what her fate will be."

Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked at the blue figure.

"You gave me a chance, so it's my fault?"

Then what about this guy who knew things would turn out this way but didn't stop it?

"Yes, I am a deity and cannot personally interfere in the affairs of the mortal realm. So I gave you a chance, but unfortunately you chose the wrong side."

Tang San felt a deep sense of regret, but in order for Huo Yuhao to repent and reform, he knew that necessary suffering was required.

"What is the third test?" Huo Yuhao didn't argue anymore. Now he just wanted to complete this damn test as soon as possible and then go to Tiandou City to investigate Tang Ya's whereabouts.

"Don't rush, the third test is simple: gathering herbs. This time, your companions can come along too."
