Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 46 Electrolux's Reaction

After Xuanzi left, Wang Yan busied himself checking and treating the injuries of the injured students, administering medication to suppress their injuries, and also using his own soul power to suppress the more serious injuries of Yao Haoxuan.

At this point, Ning Tian was the only one who could offer some assistance, so she went to help the main team members, using her second soul skill to suppress the corpse poison.

Apart from Gongyang Mo and Ning Tian, ​​none of the other members of the team had the ability to heal or suppress the corpse poison. Therefore, they scattered to be on guard or to recover the soul power they had lost in the previous battle.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, used the excuse that he had just used a level four defensive soul tool and had consumed too much soul power, to close his eyes and rest. Of course, Huo Yuhao's consciousness actually entered his spiritual sea, since his soul power was being restored with the help of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

After Huo Yuhao's consciousness entered the Sea of ​​Spirit, the small gray ball that usually lay quietly at the bottom of the Sea of ​​Spirit floated up and appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.

"Elder Yi." Huo Yuhao had a pretty good idea of ​​why Electrolux would take the initiative to appear in front of him, which was unusual for him.

One reason is that through contact with the Grim Reaper's influence, Electrox regained some of his memories related to necromancy.

Secondly, because he used his soul skill to influence and control Dai Yueheng, causing him to be killed by the Corpse Explosion Technique, he also made it clear to Ilex that Huo Yuhao had actually anticipated the danger of this battle but had not told anyone else.

"I have some old grudges with Dai Huabin, Dai Yueheng, and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. This matter was indeed intentional on my part. Moreover, out of consideration for concealing my abilities, I am not prepared to reveal my capabilities to ordinary people," Huo Yuhao said bluntly.

"But I don't sense any real resentment in your emotions," Electrox sighed, his aged voice continuing, "So in my opinion, your hatred isn't quite at the point where you need to kill the other person."

"Or rather, my feeling is that when you chose to influence Dai Yueheng and lead him to his death, I didn't even feel any emotional fluctuations in your heart, whether good or bad feelings or thoughts."

Huo Yuhao nodded and said frankly, "The dangers that arose in this battle were indeed within my calculations. Apart from Dai Yueheng, the others suffered injuries, but they were within an acceptable range."

"Without Dai Yueheng as the price, the damage to others would have been even more severe. As for emotions? Good or bad, like or resentment, I don't think these can control my personal will."

Then Huo Yuhao calmly said, "The reason we chose Dai Yueheng is simply because he is a suitable candidate, and he just happened to be chosen in such a suitable situation."

The voice emanating from the gray sphere that Electrolux had transformed into was somewhat erratic: "So this is what puzzles me, and even surprises me a little."

"My child, you are too indifferent to the life and death of others. This is not a good thing. People who have no reverence for death are more likely to destroy themselves."

"If you are filled with strong emotions, whether good or bad, I can guide you and point you in the right direction. But if you are truly indifferent to them, then I will not know how to help you."

"While this isn't a bad thing, because it also means, as you said, that only you can control your own ego."

Looking at Huo Yuhao, Electrolux couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. Was the generation gap between himself and this world too deep? Or was Huo Yuhao just too strange?

Because Huo Yuhao was the host chosen by his fragmented divine consciousness, Electrolux actually had a very good impression of Huo Yuhao from the very beginning.

Diligent in study, ambitious in cultivation, quick-witted, and composed in handling affairs, this is undoubtedly a promising candidate to become a mage. Coupled with his unique talent, the Eye of Truth, and an absolutely terrifying amount of good fortune, he is definitely a chosen one.

Moreover, when Electrolux transmigrated here, he could sense that the laws of this world allowed for the birth of gods. In other words, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Huo Yuhao already possessed the foundation to become a god based on everything he had.

Electrox's own Heart of Light and Tower of Eternity have been passed down in the Holy Demon Continent. His only regret is that the necromancy he studied last and most powerful has no successor.

Necromancy is not inherently evil; it is simply another form of existence after life comes to an end. It was through the mages' research into death and what comes after death that necromancy was born.

Although Electrox's memories were not fully restored due to his incomplete consciousness, he regained about one-tenth to one-twelfth of his emotions after the return of his memories related to necromancy.

Whether it's the lingering resentment from past deep-seated hatred, the current peaceful and calm state of mind, or the desire to pass on necromancy, I've almost regained them all.

Based on Electrolux's previous observations of Huo Yuhao, he actually thought highly of the young man, and even believed that Huo Yuhao should have been the only choice to inherit his necromancy.

However, Electrolux seemed somewhat conflicted at this moment, because in his view, Huo Yuhao's personality tended to be chaotic and unpredictable, but fundamentally he did not harbor any subjective malice or goodwill, and it seemed that everything he did was centered on himself.

While it's not wrong for a mage to be considered wrong from this perspective, there's no right or wrong either. What would happen if such a person obtained necromancy?

Furthermore, Electrolux understood that Huo Yuhao could have won her favor through other means, but Huo Yuhao did not do so, instead revealing his true personality to her.

Huo Yuhao looked calmly at the gray sphere that had been silent for a while and said, "Elder Yi, if there's nothing else, I'll continue my research."

For Huo Yuhao, Electrolux's reaction was exactly what he expected.

After all, based on the description of Electrolux and his background in the original text, it is not difficult to guess what kind of personality and what kind of person Electrolux is.

If we say that Electrox, born as a Child of Light, was originally inclined towards Lawful Good, then...

So, the period when Avenger Elex was burdened with hatred and transformed into a necromancer should be considered a completely reversed, chaotic evil.

Everything he does is for revenge. Even if it means dragging innocent bystanders down with him, he's willing to do anything to achieve his goal of revenge.

After perishing alongside the Pope, and remaining silent in the Tower of Eternity for a long time, the original hatred was released with the annihilation of the Papacy.

After being redeemed by Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er and resolving his obsessions and hatred, Electrolux should be considered neutral and leaning more towards goodness.

Or rather, after letting go of his past attachments and hatred, Electrox is more inclined to be a true mage, only that because of his past actions, his choices and actions will lean as much as possible towards the side of good.

However, because of his past experiences, Electrolux is not actually pedantic. Even when he encountered Huo Yuhao, who was blinded by hatred in the original work, he did not choose to reject him outright.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao chose to reveal his true self completely to Electrolux this time, leaving it to Electrolux to decide how the other party views him.

Rather than hiding his true self, pretending to be kind to imitate Huo Yuhao from the original work to gain Electrolux's approval, or playing himself in other ways to gain Electrolux's approval, Huo Yuhao didn't need to resort to such methods.

Even if Electrolux doesn't approve of him, Electrolux wouldn't do anything excessive to Huo Yuhao now, except that he has lost the possibility of inheriting necromancy.

Without necromancy, Huo Yuhao would indeed lose a crucial asset, but this is not absolute, as there are still many more resources available on the Douluo Continent.

It's better to spend time exploring overseas to find secret realms and gather new resources than to suppress your original personality and pretend to be someone else, only to fall out with Elex after receiving the inheritance of necromancy.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao actually believed that Electrolux would not dislike the true personality he had shown; at most, it would just make him observe Huo Yuhao for a longer period of time.

"Sigh." Electrox sighed, and the gray sphere fell back into the Sea of ​​Spirit.

"Alright, alright, let's observe Yuhao a little longer."

After studying the Soul Guidance Core Formation for a period of time, Huo Yuhao received a spiritual reminder from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm that some new changes had occurred in the outside world, but they were not urgent.

When Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, Xuanzi was already standing beside Wang Yan. Everyone else had also gathered around. As Huo Yuhao expected, Xuanzi, who had stormed off in a rage, returned with a full belly of anger.

Recalling the previous chase, Xuanzi still felt an indescribable sense of frustration.

He killed twelve disgusting corpse slaves in a row. Each corpse slave would self-destruct after he killed it. Although they could not hurt him, the nauseating stench seemed to still linger in his nostrils.

The Grim Reaper himself had vanished without a trace. As a Super Douluo, he had failed to capture a mere Soul King-level evil Soul Master, and had even allowed an inner disciple of Shrek Academy to perish at the hands of this Soul King.

If word gets out that this happened, Xuanzi's old face will be trampled on!

But since things had come to this, Xuanzi, after calming his anger somewhat, asked Wang Yan in a low voice, "Wang Yan, how are the children?"

Wang Yan shook his head and said helplessly, "Elder Xuan, apart from Yao Haoxuan, most of the others only have minor injuries. Xixi and Ling Luochen can expel the corpse poison from their bodies with their soul power after a little rest, but they may not be able to fight at full strength in the short term."

"As for Ma Xiaotao, apart from being a little overdrawn in her soul power, she is otherwise fine and only needs a little rest."

"The corpse poison accumulated in Chen Zifeng and Gongyang Mo's bodies is slightly more serious, but it's not a big problem. With the help of the academy's treatment drugs, they should be able to recover their combat strength in about half a month."

"Yao Haoxuan's injury is due to the infestation of corpse poison. He needs at least a month of quiet recuperation to gradually expel the poison from his body. Otherwise, it may pose a hidden danger to his future cultivation."

"As for the reserve team members, they were almost unaffected by the corpse poison because of the level four defensive soul tool used by Huo Yuhao. It's just that Huo Yuhao himself suffered a severe loss of soul power."

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi's anger subsided slightly: "Is that so? Well then, Wang Yan, you take the others to Xingluo City first. I'll entrust you with all the arrangements for the early stages of this competition."

"Leave Yao Haoxuan's words to me. I will take him back to the academy for treatment and try to return before the competition ends."

"As for the White Tiger Duke's mansion under Dai Yueheng, I will go and give them a proper explanation."

"Yes, Elder Xuan." Wang Yan reluctantly accepted this heavy responsibility.

After Xuanzi returns, the heavy responsibility of leading the team will fall on his shoulders. If Shrek Academy embarrasses itself in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, the responsibility he, as the team leader, will be considerable.

Logically speaking, the teachers at Shrek Academy should at least be Soul Emperor level experts, but they benefited from Xuanzi's influence.

As a disciple of Xuanzi, Wang Yan, a theorist, has successfully become a lecturer at Shrek Academy despite only having the cultivation level of a Soul King. However, he has always been the subject of rumors and gossip.

This is why Wang Yan usually doesn't reveal his martial soul; otherwise, the cultivation level of his five soul rings would naturally be exposed.

As the team leader of Shrek Academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, it was originally just an experience to enhance his resume, since no one believed that other academies were qualified to defeat Shrek Academy's main team.

However, given the current situation with so many casualties, it's uncertain whether Wang Yan, the team leader who got in through connections, will be able to stay at Shrek Academy if something unexpected happens during the competition.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan's eyes darkened, and he made up his mind that he must persevere no matter what, for the glory of Shrek Academy, and also so that he could continue to stay in Shrek Academy as a teacher.

Having said that, Xuanzi stopped dawdling and waved his greasy hand, clearly indicating that he had just eaten something again.

A dense layer of white soul power enveloped Yao Haoxuan, who was still lying dead on the ground. Then, Xuanzi carried Yao Haoxuan and flew towards Shrek Academy at an extremely fast speed.
