Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 26 Very Curious

A high vermilion wall encloses a vast expanse of land, within which are numerous luxurious buildings. The scale of this architectural complex is second only to the Xingluo Imperial Palace in Xingluo City.

At the main entrance of the complex, two majestic tigers painted in gold are placed on either side, and the five large characters on the plaque are bold and powerful.

—The White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

In the Star Luo Empire, the White Tiger Duke's influence is second only to the royal Xu family. In some people's eyes, the White Tiger Duke's influence even surpasses that of the royal Xu family, after all, this is the White Tiger family, which has been passed down for ten thousand years.

Therefore, the people of the White Tiger family always walk with their heads held high, and basically no one dares to mess with them.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Even within the magnificent White Tiger Duke's mansion, there are cramped and dilapidated buildings.

In a dilapidated woodshed, there was simple and old furniture. On a wooden bed, sat a thin, sallow-faced, handsome young man.

He was not only thin, but also had very poor physical condition.

Due to years of malnutrition, many of the meridians in the body are blocked by impurities, and the delicate meridians cannot even withstand too much soul power flowing through them.

He has a very interesting identity: Huo Yuhao, the illegitimate son of the White Tiger Duke.

It's hard to imagine that he, the son of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, lives such a miserable life. Judging from his complexion and physique, he probably hasn't had a full meal in a long time, and his living conditions are worse than those of ordinary people.

After struggling to circulate his soul power through one full cycle, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, revealing a pair of bright eyes that were completely out of place in this body.

"Level 10! Finally, level 10!" Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth, a bloodshot glint appearing in his clear eyes, his gaze filled with hatred.

"Mom... Yuhao's reached level 10, he can go get his spirit ring now!"

"If I survive and return here, I will make the entire White Tiger Duke's mansion pay for your death!"

……

"Your Excellency!" A dark green figure appeared silently. A middle-aged man with dark circles under his eyes and a somewhat gloomy demeanor appeared behind Lin Yun.

Lin Yun stopped cultivating and slowly opened his eyes.

In eight months, Lin Yun's cultivation level increased from level 34 to level 37. More than two levels of his soul power were cultivated by himself, while the remaining part of his soul power was increased after absorbing the external soul bone of the demon spirit.

The external spirit bone did not significantly increase Lin Yun's soul power, but it did increase his mental power considerably.

Moreover, the soul skill attached to this external soul bone did not disappoint Lin Yun!

Space travel!

The demon spirits' specialty is the ability to roam freely through space, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

"It's you, King of Ten Thousand Demons. How's your investigation going with the matter I asked you to keep in mind?" Lin Yun turned around and looked at the King of Ten Thousand Demons, who was bowing slightly behind him.

Yes, this middle-aged man with a gloomy demeanor is none other than the Demon King of the Demon Tree, one of the Beast Kings of the Star Dou Great Forest and ranked fifth on the list of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

As for the task Lin Yun asked the Demon King to do, it was equally simple.

"Your Majesty, I have confirmed that the human boy you asked me to keep an eye on broke through to level ten a day ago and set off for the Star Dou Great Forest early this morning," the Demon King said in a low voice.

"Hmm, you did a great job. Keep an eye on him, and report back to me when he's almost at the Star Dou Great Forest!" Lin Yun nodded in satisfaction.

"Yes!" The Demon King quietly departed. Indeed, Lin Yun's task for the Demon King was to keep a close eye on Huo Yuhao and find out as soon as possible when he would arrive in the Star Dou Great Forest!

Even if you beat Huo Yuhao to death, he probably would never have imagined that while he was cultivating, there was a soul beast powerhouse comparable to the Limit Douluo level secretly observing his every move.

The true form of the Demon King is the Demon Eye Tree. Plant-type soul beasts are inherently very patient and can stay in one place for a long time without moving.

If it were any other powerful soul beasts keeping an eye on Huo Yuhao, they might not be too happy, but if it were the Demon King, it would just be like he had changed his cultivation location.

Besides, soul beasts...

There's no difference between cultivating and not cultivating.

"It seems the plot has already begun. In a few days, Huo Yuhao should 'accidentally' run into Tang Ya and Bei Bei, right?" Lin Yun thought to himself as he looked at the lake surface rippling in the breeze.

"Well then... it's time for me to head to Shrek Academy!"

"Di Tian!" Lin Yun suddenly spoke.

"Your Excellency!" Di Tian, ​​the number one underling, appeared instantly.

"Go, get me a recommendation letter from a major city. I'm about to start my plan!" Lin Yun looked in the direction of Shrek City, a strange smile playing on his lips.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Di Tian replied respectfully, but his face also showed joy and anticipation.

His Majesty's plan is finally about to begin!

Six days later, the Demon King returned, bringing news that Huo Yuhao was only fifty kilometers away from the Star Dou Great Forest.

This distance is already very close.

During these past few days, Di Tian somehow managed to get Lin Yun a letter of recommendation from Shrek Academy, and the name on the letter was naturally Lin Yun's own.

"This is my alias in the human world," Lin Yun said to Di Tian.

With the recommendation letter in hand, all that remained for him to wait for was Huo Yuhao.

Lin Yun wanted to stay and see for himself whether Huo Yuhao's trajectory would change after he had intercepted Electrolux in advance.

Speaking of Electrolux, Lin Yun subconsciously sank his consciousness into his spiritual sea and glanced at the small gray ball floating in mid-air.

Shortly after obtaining the Gold of Life, Electrolux told Lin Yun that he was preparing to go into seclusion. With the Gold of Life, he could use its immense life force to repair his divine consciousness.

Although his divine consciousness, thanks to the life-giving metal, was no longer in danger of being extinguished, it could still continue to grow stronger.

The stronger Electrox's consciousness, the more memories he could recall, and the greater the help he could provide to Lin Yun. The only loss was some negligible life force, so Lin Yun let him be.

If Huo Gua merges with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, I wonder if another fragment of Electrolux's divine consciousness will fly out?

Lin Yun was very curious!

So he planned to go and see for himself, to watch Huo Yuhao fuse with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and to see if any other unexpected events would occur during the process.

After all, he is the protagonist of the original work, so it is necessary to treat him with caution.

"Thank you for your hard work, Demon King. You can go back now." Lin Yun nodded to Demon King.

"Tell Di Tian where that person is, and then, Di Tian, ​​let's go check it out together!"
