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

Huo Yuhao suddenly opened his eyes, his heterochromatic pupils turning back to ice blue. He gasped for breath, and before he could recover, a sharp pain pierced his mind, and the icy chill sent goosebumps up his skin.

Ugh!

Huo Yuhao roared as he frantically clawed at his forehead with both hands, trying to tear off his skin and flesh.

It hurts.

Huo Yuhao's memories pierced his nerves like fine needles.

"Brother, what's wrong? Please don't be like this."

A soft, warm body pressed against him, relieving his pain. The choked sobs and the familiar milky scent gently soothed his tense nerves.

Huo Yuhao's body trembled, and he raised his eyes.

Is the person in front of me Na'er?

He pulled the girl in his arms tighter, greedily absorbing her warmth. Huo Yuhao's body was so cold; his skin was covered in a thin layer of ice, pale as a corpse. Huo Yuhao cried for a while before he came to his senses, abruptly pushing Na'er away, staring at her fair and clean face, and then reaching out to tear off her clothes.

Na'er was still dazed from his push when her clothes were ripped open, revealing her snow-white skin. Before she could even straighten her clothes, a cool touch landed on her skin.

Um~

Na'er let out a muffled cry.

Huo Yuhao groped around for a while, looking at her over and over again before pulling his hand back and hugging Na'er tightly in his arms.

"Na'er, oh, I'm so glad you're alright. You scared me to death just now. Please don't do that again."

"Brother, you're so mean... Why did you tear my clothes in front of everyone? What will happen to Na'er if no one wants her anymore? You big pervert!"

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment. He looked up and saw Su Yuewan smirking beside him, Teacher Shen Yi pretending to look at the sky, Old Cai pretending to cough, and a handsome young man with an extraordinary temperament.

Recalling his actions just now, Huo Yuhao's cheeks flushed red, and even his originally slightly icy and pale skin turned blush.

He really hadn't thought too much about it. Just now, during the assessment, he had seen Na'er covered in blood, a gruesome hole in her chest; that bloody scene was still etched in his mind. At that time, Na'er was clearly a cold corpse.

However, he quickly realized what was happening, raised his head, and looked at Old Cai with undisguised anger and coldness in his eyes, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Elder Cai, I need an explanation. I think this wasn't a test at all, but rather a deliberate experiment to mutate my martial soul?"

Old Cai smiled dismissively and nodded. "That's right. Yue Wan was teleported away the moment the Flame Wolf swept her away. And your sister Na'er," she changed her tone, a hint of undisguised pride in her voice, "was also teleported out the instant she suddenly disappeared. What you were holding just now was merely an ice shell I condensed using the spiritual energy of the Spirit Ascension Platform, infused with a trace of her aura. And your Martial Soul has already evolved into the Spirit Eye, hasn't it?"

Huo Yuhao shuddered suddenly.

From the fiery wolves that had been chasing Su Yuewan suddenly turning back, to the wolf pack's unannounced escape, and finally to the bloody hole in Na'er's body that shouldn't even exist, everything happened too smoothly. His martial soul had indeed changed, even his soul power level had increased significantly. And in his mind, there was a jumble of fragmented memories waiting for him to slowly digest.

"Brother, I'm fine. You just saw it too... I'm perfectly fine, and my mind isn't affected at all. As long as you don't say you're abandoning me, that's all that matters. Also, Na'er has already been accepted as the sect leader's last disciple, and Sister Yuewan has also been accepted as a disciple by Elder Cai."

Huo Yuhao's eyebrows twitched slightly upon hearing Na'er's words. Logically, Na'er should have been on his side, but her reaction was rather strange.

"Your name is Huo Yuhao, right? My name is Yun Ming, the current Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion. You can call me Senior Uncle." A gentle voice came from the young man. "You share the same name as the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago, and your Martial Soul has evolved into the Spirit Eye. What you just experienced inside was indeed a bit excessive for the academy. To compensate, the academy is granting you the opportunity to directly enter the inner academy for study. Moreover, your Martial Soul has been successfully purified into the Spirit Eye, and even your innate soul power has increased. I hope you won't have any prejudice against Shrek Academy."

Huo Yuhao looked at Yun Ming. The aura emanating from Yun Ming was simply too powerful; his handsome appearance and gentle demeanor unconsciously calmed Huo Yuhao's heart. The excruciating pain from the fragmented memories in his mind, coupled with the physical and mental exhaustion caused by his ascending spiritual platform, left him with little energy to argue.

"Master...Sect Leader, I'm a little tired, I'd like to rest for a bit."

Huo Yuhao ultimately didn't utter the words "Senior Uncle." Na'er was his sister, and although she willingly acknowledged Yun Ming as her master, the title of Sea God Pavilion Master sounded like it represented unfathomable strength. While their actions had indeed caused a transformation in his martial soul, raising his innate soul power to around level seven...

I'm not a useless person anymore.

This was Huo Yuhao's first thought.

However, Yun Ming's words still made him feel uneasy. The compensation was just entry into the inner academy? Although he already felt a sense of affinity for Shrek Academy, these words inevitably made him feel uneasy.

Seeing that he looked weak, Yun Ming didn't say anything to make things difficult for him: "The three of you can stay together, right next to the Golden Ancient Tree. Shen Yi, take him there and get some rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Ming vanished. Old Cai's eyes held a hint of doubt, but he said nothing and disappeared as well.

Only Shen Yi remained, staring at the three of them in astonishment.

What kind of place is the Golden Ancient Tree? It's the place where Shrek's vitality and spiritual energy are most abundant; basically, only the Shrek Seven Devils are qualified to live there. She quickly composed herself and walked over with a smile: "I'm sorry about earlier. I lied to you. I'm sorry you had to endure this trial."

Huo Yuhao forced a smile: "Teacher Shen, I'm fine. My head is throbbing, and I want to rest."

Seeing that his face was indeed frighteningly pale, Shen Yi led them towards the inner courtyard.

Su Yuewan was the most lively one, constantly asking Shen Yi all sorts of questions.

"Teacher Shen, isn't the Sect Master incredibly powerful? Even Elder Cai doesn't dare to mess around in front of him. My mom told me that the Sect Master is the strongest Soul Master on the continent. How come he's so young? Unlike Elder Cai, who looks much older. Also, is the place we live in really helpful for our cultivation?"

Hearing her words, Shen Yi smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, Xiao Yuewan is right. The Pavilion Master is already over a hundred years old. The place you live in is a place only the Shrek Seven Devils are qualified to live in."

Listening to Su Yuewan and Shen Yi's conversation, Huo Yuhao understood just how profound Yun Ming's strength truly was. Shrek Academy was indeed a great place for them to quickly improve their strength. Na'er's talent might truly allow her to become one of the Shrek Seven Devils that Teacher Shen Yi had mentioned.

He himself knew that even though his martial soul was now the Spirit Eye and his innate soul power had been raised to level seven, he was still considered to have gotten in through connections, or rather, the academy kept him along with Na'er in order to keep her.

It was getting late, and the setting sun slowly descended from the sky, reflecting on Poseidon Lake and turning the entire lake into a gentle pink.

Huo Yuhao and the others sat in a small boat. Na'er leaned on his shoulder, holding his hand tightly, watching the sunset slowly descend. Su Yuewan seemed to have inexhaustible energy, squatting at the bow of the boat, splashing the lake water.

Huo Yuhao alone quietly gazed at the lake.

The pale blue lake water rippled gently, gradually transforming into a familiar figure. His vision blurred, and his eyes began to well up with tears. Na'er noticed his unusual expression, leaned over, and followed his gaze, but saw nothing.

But in Huo Yuhao's heart, a tall figure stood in the waters of Sea God Lake. Her long, light blue hair fluttered in the wind, and although she wore a veil, it couldn't conceal her stunningly beautiful face. A gentle breeze blew by, rippling the lake, and the veil fell away.

Dong'er...

In the end, it was still the fate of the Sea God Lake, where the youth was buried.

"elder brother……"

When Na'er heard him murmur those two words, her eyes welled up with tears. Her eyes were like washed purple grapes, dazzling and captivating, yet concealing turbulent undercurrents. She gripped Huo Yuhao's hand tightly, her fingertips turning slightly white from the pressure, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned down.

Why do it this way...?

Why is it that when you lose your memory again, the first person you remember is still her... and not me or Sister Guyue... We miss you so much... Why are you doing this to Na'er...?

My dear Yuhao, if you still think about Tang Wutong in this life, Sister Guyue and I will really go crazy.

Then, we really will lock you up, so that you can only see the two of us, and can only think of us...
