I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.
Chapter 301: The Holy King's Nine Trials, Past Events Like Clouds
Huo Yuhao stared at the Evil Eye Saint King in front of him for a long time without saying a word. To be honest, Huo Yuhao was actually somewhat resistant to the idea of inheriting the power of the Evil Eye Saint King.
After all, he personally felt a deep aversion to everything about the White Tiger Clan, but it wouldn't be bad to use the power of the Evil Eye Saint King to eliminate the White Tiger Clan, would it?
This way, from a certain perspective, Huo Yuhao, the child born to the maid who inherited the Evil Eye Saint King, is the rightful heir of the White Tiger Clan, while his half-brothers and his father are heretics.
Moreover, recalling his time at Shrek Academy, he realized that none of the cultivators there were less talented than him, especially that bastard Xu Xingyu. His cultivation talent made Huo Yuhao feel an insurmountable gap between them, and even gave him the idea of giving up on catching up.
Huo Yuhao had complained in his heart more than once that if he had Xu Xingyu's talent, he would have avenged his mother long ago and become the strongest person on the continent. He wouldn't be cultivating so slowly and without even a girlfriend.
However, he also has to avenge Tianmeng and wash away the humiliation Tianmeng inflicted on him. Therefore, if he doesn't have enough strength to fight against Tianmeng in the future, all of this will just be wishful thinking.
Therefore, even if it is a power that he despises from the bottom of his heart, Huo Yuhao would not refuse it if it could be used to achieve his own goals. Moreover, power itself is neither good nor bad; it depends on how it is used.
Moreover, according to legend, the power of the Evil Eye Saint King is the same as that of Tang San's ancestor from ten thousand years ago, both belonging to the divine level. Isn't this kind of divine test that directly passes on to people much simpler than repairing the position of some Rakshasa god?
Therefore, Huo Yuhao's answer to the Evil-Eyed Saint King's question has always been the same: "I'm willing."
The Evil Eye Saint King was not surprised by this, after all, he had been observing Huo Yuhao for quite some time. This kid, Su Liang, seemed to be an honest child, but his thinking was extremely extreme, especially his desire for power, which was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
For example, although Huo Yuhao seemed to have been tricked into becoming an evil soul master by those guys from the Holy Spirit Cult, who claimed that the power of evil soul masters was not evil or anything, Huo Yuhao actually knew the truth in his heart.
Although many evil spirit masters may have become evil spirit masters because of the oppression they suffered from society, this does not mean that their behavior of devouring innocent people to aid their cultivation in order to seek revenge is justified.
Huo Yuhao needed a reason to convince himself. Only then could he feel at ease using this method to enhance his cultivation, and only he could persuade his conscience to do such a heinous thing.
Of course, this does not mean that the Evil Eye Saint King rejects Huo Yuhao becoming an Evil Soul Master. After all, in his view, human society is too pretentious. As a generation of Beast God worshipper, he believes in the law of the forest that strength is paramount, and that as long as one is strong enough, one can obtain everything.
This is why the Evil Eye Saint King chose Huo Yuhao. Besides his own opportunities and talents, his thirst for power is just like his past self.
Back when he was vying for the White Tiger God's position, he was just like Huo Yuhao, filled with resentment and vowing to defeat the White Tiger God at all costs!
Thinking of this, the Evil-Eyed Saint King chuckled and said, "Since that's the case, let's begin."
"start?"
Before Huo Yuhao could think any further, a golden "King" mark appeared between his eyebrows, and a vast amount of information flowed into his mind, including four large letters.
The Holy King's Nine Tests!
Seeing this, the Evil-Eyed Saint King stood up and shouted, "Since you have chosen to inherit my power, let the test begin!"
"Wait? That fast?"
The scenery around Huo Yuhao began to change, and at some point, Huo Yuhao lost his footing, causing him to fall through the air. After an unknown amount of time, he arrived in a new space.
After arriving in the new space, Huo Yuhao began to look around at his surroundings. To his surprise, this was his former home, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!
Just then, the Holy King's voice appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind: "The first of the Holy King's Nine Trials: There are two people here that you must find. After finding them, you must kill one of them in order to pass the test."
Huo Yuhao scratched his head and said, "Who are you going to kill? Can't you just say so directly? Besides, with my strength, killing someone in the Duke's mansion is just courting death, isn't it?"
However, Huo Yuhao quickly stopped complaining because he saw an impossible figure there: his mother, Huo Yun'er.
He saw his mother washing clothes, just like she had when he was a child. Her beautiful yet tired appearance brought tears to Huo Yuhao's eyes, but before he could approach her, a childlike thought interrupted his thoughts.
"Mother!!!!"
A little boy with blue hair and a blue face rushed happily toward Huo Yun'er and hugged her.
Seeing her tired expression, Huo Yun'er smiled and said, "Alright, alright, how old is Xiao Yuhao now? Why is he still so clingy?"
In response, young Huo Yuhao said, "So what? A mother is a mother. No matter how old Yuhao is, a mother is still my mother."
At this moment, Huo Yuhao saw Huo Yun'er washing her clothes and patted his chest, saying, "Mom, you must be very tired! Leave the last outfit to me! You should get some rest!"
Looking at her son's confident expression, Huo Yun'er finally saw that her son had grown up and said, "Alright, alright, then I'll leave it to you."
Upon hearing this, the young Huo Yuhao smiled and accepted the clothes from Huo Yun'er's hands. However, the real Huo Yuhao, who was watching from the side, shouted, "Stop!"
At this moment, he couldn't care less whether it was an illusion or not; what he was seeing was something he would never forget for the rest of his life!
This is the day that triggered his mother's illness due to her severe injuries, ultimately leading to her death!
Seeing this scene again, how could Huo Yuhao sit idly by and wait for his death? He rushed to the location of the mother and child at lightning speed, but just as he was about to grab them, his hand grasped nothing.
He could only watch helplessly as the tragedy of the past unfolded before his eyes once again.
As the young boy was carrying his clothes to be washed, he accidentally bumped into a blond boy about his age.
When the blond-haired youth saw that a servant dared to do such a disrespectful thing to him, the son of the White Tiger Duke, he immediately ordered his subordinates to give him a beating he would never forget.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yun'er quickly stepped forward to apologize to the blond-haired boy and begged for forgiveness. The blond-haired boy merely glanced at Huo Yun'er before leaving.
Seeing this, the subordinates began to intensify their punishment of the young Huo Yuhao. Therefore, in order to protect her son, Huo Yun'er had no choice but to take the beating for Huo Yuhao herself.
After the blond-haired boys finished venting their anger, young Huo Yuhao looked at his mother and began to cry sadly.
After that, the ancient tree and Huo Yuhao's memories were exactly the same. Because of the beating, his mother suffered serious injuries, which made Huo Yun'er, who was already weak due to her illness, even weaker.
Finally, Huo Yun'er passed away amidst Huo Yuhao's weeping after a period of time because she did not receive the treatment she deserved.
The young Huo Yuhao cried out to the heavens, "Why! Why! Heaven, why did you take my mother away?!"
Just then, a deep voice sounded in young Huo Yuhao's ear: "Because neither you nor your mother are strong enough, because we are too weak, we are always bullied by those so-called strong people. In this dog-eat-dog world, only the strong can control their own destiny."
The speaker was none other than Huo Yuhao, who had been watching from the sidelines until he was already grown up. For some reason, he was able to intervene in this illusion and then speak to the young Huo Yuhao.
Young Huo Yuhao looked at his familiar older brother with a confused expression, somewhat at a loss. However, Huo Yuhao ignored his younger self and continued, "You might think this is very unfair, but we weren't born into a fair world. Everyone's fate is decided at birth; the rich are born into rich families, and the poor are born into poor families. If you want to change your fate, you have to put in many times more effort than ordinary people and possess talents that the upper class doesn't have."
"You and I are unfortunate to have been born into poor families. You can complain and blame God for being unfair, but that's useless. If you don't want this to happen again, the only way to truly decide your own destiny is to become an unparalleled powerhouse."
After saying this, Huo Yuhao knelt down before the earthen tombstone that the young Huo Yuhao had just made for Huo Yun'er and said, "Mom, thank you. I will never forget you."
Just then, the voice of the Holy King appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind again: "The first person has been found. Please search for the next person."
The surrounding scenery changed again, and this time Huo Yuhao returned to the time of the Continental Soul Master Competition held in Star Luo City!
Moreover, looking at himself on the arena, Huo Yuhao knew that he had reached that point in time, the time when he would be most humiliated.
It was that match between Shrek Academy and Zheng Tian Academy.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao is fighting alongside Xu Sanshi against two team members from Zhengtian Academy, one of whom is Yu Mengdi, whom Huo Yuhao had indulged in in the real world.
Just like what happened in Huo Yuhao's memory, because of the Rakshasa Helmet's connection to the Angel Clan, the Rakshasa power in Huo Yuhao's body began to go berserk and eventually started to attack indiscriminately.
This is why Xu Sanshi had to join forces with the people from Zhengtian Academy to oust Huo Yuhao from the stage, which also led to Shrek Academy losing the match.
Although Huo Yuhao was not scolded by his teammates when he woke up after the match, he could still see the disdain each of them had for him, as if they were saying that they wished Huo Yuhao wasn't their teammate. After all, who would like a teammate who would betray them?
Fortunately, there was one person who held a different opinion, and that person was Ling Luochen, one of the main team members.
Ling Luochen initially cultivated a good relationship with Huo Yuhao because Huo Yuhao possessed the Ultimate Ice, which helped Ling Luochen cultivate high-level abilities of the island root, leading Ling Luochen to take the initiative to befriend Huo Yuhao and become friends with him.
As for Xu Yanxue, who also possesses extreme ice, the reason she wasn't approached by Ling Luochen is probably because both of them have a cold and arrogant personality, which leads to them being mutually repulsive and disliking each other.
Although Huo Yuhao understood that the other party's initial purpose in approaching him was to use him to elevate her ice attribute to its extreme level, and that she vaguely intended to use him as a substitute for her deceased younger brother, Huo Yuhao, who had already been abandoned by Bei Bei and the others, was already quite satisfied with this kindness.
Especially after he awakened his evil attributes, Ling Luochen chose to protect Huo Yuhao, who did not abandon him like the other Shrek Academy students and teachers, and instead advocated for the execution of this promising evil soul master. This prevented him from being executed by those bastards at Shrek Academy immediately.
All these actions made Huo Yuhao genuinely regard Ling Luochen as his older sister. It can be said that in Huo Yuhao's heart, Ling Luochen's position was second only to his mother.
What followed were scenes of him and Ling Luochen, a heartwarming moment.
But this also made Huo Yuhao puzzled again. Why did the Evil Eye Saint King want to show this to him again? Huo Yuhao could understand the other party's desire to help the king overcome his weakness when he showed his father's past before, but what was the other party thinking now that he was showing his time with Ling Luochen?
After all, in his memory, there were no sad or weak moments in his time with Ling Luochen, right?
However, when the scene shifted to the time when Huo Yuhao went berserk, he finally understood the Holy King's thoughts.
Having completely entered a berserk state, Huo Yuhao began to wreak havoc in the Holy Spirit Cult's dungeon, and the number of people who had fallen at his hands had already exceeded double digits.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao attack Shrek Academy, Ling Luochen hurriedly shouted, "Yuhao, stop right now!!!!"
However, Huo Yuhao, who had already gone berserk, ignored Ling Luochen's shouts and instead focused all his energy on his killing spree.
When Ling Luochen saw that countless Shrek members had fallen into his hands, he gradually changed from initially trying to persuade them to loudly insulting Huo Yuhao, calling him a jinx and saying that he shouldn't have approached Huo Yuhao in the first place, among other hurtful remarks.
Huo Yuhao, in reality, was also stunned upon seeing this. After carefully recalling the events, it seemed that this had indeed happened. At this moment, for some reason, a crack began to appear in Huo Yuhao's trust in Ling Luochen.
The Holy King's voice rang out again: "The second person has been found; now it is time to make a choice."
