Douluo Continent, Reborn: Yuhao and the Silver Dragon Keep Their Appointment

The taxi sped through the streets, leaving Huo Yuhao's thoughts behind. He quietly gazed at the beautiful scenery outside the window, skyscrapers flashing past. The scene was familiar, yet all memories of the past were gone.

Huo Yuhao quietly gazed out the window, looking towards Shrek Academy, a gentle smile softening his usually calm face. It was as if his past life had been a dream, and upon waking, he found himself unfamiliar with the familiar courtyard.

"Brother, why are you ignoring me!"

Huo Yuhao was still in a daze when Na'er's shout snapped him back to reality. He turned his head and noticed that Na'er's hand was tightly gripping his sleeve, her knuckles slightly white, and even Su Yuewan's gaze towards him was filled with something strange. Huo Yuhao looked at Na'er, who seemed sullen and angry, yet also appeared quite aggrieved, and was somewhat puzzled.

"Huh? Did you just call me?" he asked in a puzzled voice.

A hush fell over the car; even the driver, arranged by Shrek Academy, didn't dare to breathe. After a while, seeing Na'er's head drooping lower and lower, her ear tips turning bright red, and her whole body seemingly shrinking into the seat, Su Yuewan finally spoke: "Are you deaf or pretending? Na'er saw you staring out the window in a daze, and called you several times, but you didn't respond. Didn't you really hear me?"

It took Huo Yuhao a while to realize what was happening. He scratched his head awkwardly and said honestly, "I'm sorry, Na'er. I don't know why this place felt familiar just now. I was too engrossed in looking outside."

Upon hearing this, Na'er, who had been playing with her little finger, suddenly stopped. She trembled, and her purple-blue eyes became empty and lifeless, as if shattered glass.

elder brother……

When my brother returns to the home he used to be so proud of, will he think about that woman...?

No.

No.

Why is it that his memories are completely intact, even though everyone else's memories are?

But those who were meant for me have vanished without a trace?

Just then, she felt someone gently stroking her head, which made her feel safe and secure, like a kitten finding its nest. She quickly suppressed her emotions. Huo Yuhao's concerned voice rang in her ears: "Na'er, what's wrong? It's your brother's fault, please forgive me?"

Na'er quickly put those things out of her mind and snuggled into his arms: "Brother, then you must think of me a thousand times every day, and you are not allowed to think of other girls, and you are not allowed to look at historical materials from ten thousand years ago, and then I will forgive you."

Huo Yuhao felt completely bewildered. Na'er's reaction and words piqued his curiosity, and he developed a strong curiosity about the historical document from ten thousand years ago that Na'er had explicitly forbidden him from using. He kept this thought to himself and could only gently stroke Na'er's hair, feeling her slightly trembling body, which brought him endless warmth.

The car soon came to a stop. Huo Yuhao could see the architectural style of Shrek Academy from the window: tall, ancient black rock walls, like a giant dragon coiled around it, without much decoration, yet exuding an aura of majesty and solemnity. Above the main gate hung five powerful characters: "Shrek Academy".

Old Cai seemed to have been standing at the door for a long time. His face showed no impatience; instead, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Huo Yuhao got out of the car first.

The feeling that greeted him was not the anticipation he had imagined, but rather a bone-chilling fear. That fear, capable of controlling one's entire being, almost swallowed Huo Yuhao whole, like an invisible hand forcefully choking him. However, he quickly recovered, his face pale, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, his legs so weak he could barely stand, and he could only hold onto the car door for support.

Na'er quickly realized that Huo Yuhao seemed to have no strength left, so she quickly moved behind him and let him lean against her.

"Brother," Na'er murmured with some concern, "Are you alright? Does your head hurt a lot? Let me rub it for you, okay?" After saying that, she actually used her little finger to rub Huo Yuhao's temples in a very serious manner.

In Na'er's eyes, Huo Yuhao's reaction was likely due to fragmented memories. Na'er didn't want him to accept these memories, but she feared he would remember the woman who had taken her brother away. After all, this was the place where her brother and she had spent the most time together. To prevent Huo Yuhao from recalling everything, while massaging his temples, she injected an invisible silver dragon force into his mind. This dragon force would help Huo Yuhao regulate his memory meridians, or more precisely, seal away unstable memories. Unless Huo Yuhao's mental strength matured, or either Na'er or Gu Yue helped him erase them, Huo Yuhao wouldn't be able to remember Tang Wutong, or rather, Wang Dong'er, for the time being.

However, the problem is quite simple. Huo Yuhao's mental strength is indeed not as high as Na'er's now, but what about in a few years? Na'er knows all too well the mental strength of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul. Besides, logically speaking, Huo Yuhao is a god, and his mental strength will definitely surpass theirs in the future. But Na'er is confident that she can make Huo Yuhao fall in love with the woman named Gu Yue Na again before he regains his memories. If Huo Yuhao truly only sees Na'er as a younger sister, she has already decided to tell Gu Yue about Huo Yuhao's return. She believes that Sister Gu Yue will definitely make this young man fall in love with her again.

Ten thousand years ago, Huo Yuhao appeared incredibly strong, but she knew perfectly well how insecure he harbored deep inside. Back then, Huo Yuhao was imprisoned by Gu Yuena in the core circle of the Star Dou Cave for a month. The surrounding ferocious beasts were gone, leaving only the auspicious beasts and Gu Yuena herself, both still in human form. Huo Yuhao was unaware they were soul beasts. During that month, they teased him countless times, but Huo Yuhao only ever thought of escaping, barely speaking to them a few times. She could tell then that Huo Yuhao wasn't shy, but rather afraid of the feeling of being looked down upon. If someone develops this kind of personality early on, their character will definitely change drastically when they become powerful. (Under the premise of no intervention from Tang Shenwang)

Huo Yuhao quickly recovered. Before he could speak, Na'er took his hand and led him and Su Yuewan toward Elder Cai.

Old Cai glanced at them, said nothing, just made a gesture, gave Huo Yuhao a meaningful look, and then disappeared.

Just as Huo Yuhao was still wondering, a girl of about twenty-six years old appeared in front of him. She had a pair of emerald green eyes, wore a dark green tracksuit, and looked like a cool and capable female teacher.

"You must be Su Yuewan?" Her gentle voice rang out. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Shen Yi. Elder Cai will be responsible for bringing you to the assessment area for the assessment. Only by passing the assessment can you enter the inner academy and become core disciples of the inner academy's elders."

Huo Yuhao quickly realized this was a trap set by Elder Cai—a smile hiding a dagger, a bait and switch. He frowned. He could choose not to come to the academy, but what about Na'er? She had said that her sister had asked her to come. And what about Sister Yue Wan? She was exceptionally talented and had been personally taken in by Elder Cai to become stronger. He didn't want to implicate them because of himself. Even if Elder Cai wouldn't refuse them, their reputation and status in the academy would be significantly lower in the future.
