Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

"You idiot." Huo Yuhao poked half his body out of the portal and flicked Wang Dong's head with a finger.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Wang Dong cried out.

"It's not your turn to make an appearance yet," Huo Yuhao said. "I'll call you when something fun happens."

"I know..." Wang Dong covered his head, "How could he have crossed over from so far away..."

"I'm leaving." Huo Yuhao said goodbye this time and went back through the teleportation portal.

………………

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, a short, stout middle-aged man greeted them.

"Welcome, welcome everyone to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. I am Lin Jiayi, the academy's Dean of Students. For the next two and a half years..." Lin Jiayi greeted everyone with a smile and a few polite words before distributing a map of the academy and keys to their accommodations.

He even spoke a few words to Huo Yuhao separately.

"Hello, Director Lin, what brings you here?" Huo Yuhao greeted him politely with a smile.

“Professor Huo, there’s no need to be so polite. You and I are both teachers and colleagues,” Lin Jiayi said, waving his hand. “The main reason is that His Highness Crown Prince Xu Tianran heard that you were here and made a special trip to the academy, hoping that you could meet with him after your inspection.”

"Crown Prince..." Huo Yuhao nodded, indicating that he understood.

The map of Sun Moon Academy is very simple and clear, mainly divided into three areas: the teaching area, the dormitory area, and the experimental area.

The experimental zone is the largest, occupying two-thirds of the area, and the Mingde Hall, famous throughout the Douluo Continent, is located in the central part of the experimental zone.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy does not differentiate between the six grades based on age. Here, as long as you reach the first-level Soul Master level, you can enter the second year to continue your studies, and if you reach the second-level Soul Master level, you can advance to the third year.

Everything depends on the Soul Master's level.

This demonstrates the high status of Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire.

"What should my Soul Master level be again?" Huo Yuhao hadn't taken the test in a long time, so the level on his certificate was still the second level he had taken before. But if he really wanted to make a Soul Tool, he could already make a level nine Soul Tool.

Moreover, many of the things he creates do not depend on soul power level at all; electric soul guides can no longer be classified using the old soul guide level system.

Next, Lin Jiayi took them to undergo a series of tests and examinations, including physical fitness tests.

In the physical test, the others were fine, but He Caitou's physical body, which reached the level of a Contra Douluo, startled Lin Jiayi and the other people from the Sun Moon Empire. He himself just smiled innocently on the surface, looking nothing like an Avenger returning to his hometown.

It's not surprising that He Caitou has such a strong physique. He was born with a strong body, and he has been practicing the "True Self Body Visualization Method" given to him by Huo Yuhao, which trains his mental strength and drives his physical body. By visualizing his entire body from the inside out, from the bones to the meridians and internal organs, he achieves the unity of mind and body.

His cultivation level was not high, and in order to keep up with Huo Yuhao and Fan Yu's research, he dared not relax his practice of visualization for a moment.

Lin Jiayi was completely baffled by Huo Yuhao's physical test results. He had tried all the physical test soul tools, and Huo Yuhao's results for each test were "unmeasurable".

"That's strange, could they all be broken?" Lin Jiayi couldn't help but wonder. The best machine here could measure all the data below the Super Douluo level.

…………

Huo Yuhao's physical test was abandoned. Huo Yuhao parted ways with He Caitou and the others. Lin Jiayi took him to the back of the teaching building to meet Xu Tianran, who was already waiting there.

"Greetings, Teacher Huo." Xu Tianran bowed to Huo Yuhao from his wheelchair.

"Hello, you must be Crown Prince Xu Tianran." Huo Yuhao was surprised by the other party's politeness. He looked calmly at the young Crown Prince in front of him, who was probably only in his early thirties, but was paralyzed on one side and could only use a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Was it caused by a power struggle within the imperial court...? Huo Yuhao did some research on Xu Tianran and learned the details of the matter.

"Teacher Huo, let me be frank. A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. How much do you want? Whether it's beauty, wealth, fame, or power, becoming a king or nobleman and obtaining a fief is no problem. Join my Sun Moon Empire." Xu Tianran said earnestly, "Only in my Sun Moon Empire can Teacher Huo's talents be best utilized."

"So that's how it is. They specifically invited me here as a visiting teacher in order to find an opportunity to win me over and make me a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire?" Huo Yuhao laughed.

News of his previous battle against the Sea God in Star Luo City had spread, and his strength was no longer a secret. Many people even speculated that Huo Yuhao, the owner of the Huo family, was the same person.

Regardless of the circumstances, it is a fact that Huo Yuhao possesses the power to contend with gods, and every faction wants to win him over.

“Teacher Huo is right. I hope you can consider it. What Shrek Academy can give, my Sun Moon Empire can give even more!” Xu Tianran said sincerely, then smiled again, “Since you know this, you still insisted on coming here, so you must have this intention as well.”

Intentions? It seems Xu Tianran has misunderstood. Huo Yuhao is not interested in his ambitions; he only came because of the issue of evil soul masters.

As for the claim that "Shrek gave it to him," it's clearly "he gave it to Shrek." The now largely defunct Shrek Academy was rebuilt with his help. He himself is the largest shareholder of Shrek Academy, the uncrowned king of Shrek City.

"I'll think about it." To avoid trouble, Huo Yuhao gave a casual reply.

"You won't be disappointed." Xu Tianran still wore a smile that looked extremely shrewd.

"By the way, your wheelchair isn't very good, how about I give you a better one?" Huo Yuhao suddenly had a whimsical idea. He still had a wheelchair that he had made for Elder Mu in his storage device.

Several were built initially, and several versions were updated and upgraded, specifically to fit Elder Mu's body.

After saying that, Huo Yuhao pulled out a very stylish-looking wheelchair and placed it in front of Xu Tianran.

If anyone else offered to give Xu Tianran a wheelchair, he would insist on punishing that person severely because it reminded him of unpleasant memories and he considered it an insult.

But since it was a gift from Huo Yuhao, Xu Tianran took it as a gesture of goodwill from Huo Yuhao, who intended to join him, and was overjoyed.

"Alright, alright, since it's a gift from Teacher Huo, I'll go up and have a seat." Xu Tianran naturally couldn't let Huo Yuhao's good intentions go unrewarded.

"This wheelchair is no ordinary thing. I made it for Dragon God Douluo. It's essentially a level nine soul tool, perfectly suited to his body..." Huo Yuhao was introducing the product to him.

Xu Tianran didn't care. How could the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire not understand soul tools?

"An automatic wheelchair, huh? It's similar to my old one. This button must be the power switch." Xu Tianran pressed the button directly.

"...Even in terms of speed, it can match the speed of a Limit Douluo. Dragon God Douluo often uses it to train his reaction speed. When you drive it, remember to reduce the speed by a few gears, otherwise... Eh? Where did he go?" Huo Yuhao was halfway through his sentence when Xu Tianran beside him had already disappeared from sight.

With a whoosh, Xu Tianran, in his wheelchair, dashed out at the speed of a Limit Douluo.

Fortunately, it was in the opposite direction from the teaching building, so it wouldn't hurt the students, but it had already crashed through several walls of the academy.

"I've...I've made a mess of things!"

Huo Yuhao's smile froze. He had caused trouble on his very first day. What should he do?

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!!!" Director Lin Jiayi shouted, his soul almost leaving his body.

Chapter 137 Revenge, Infiltration

After crashing through several walls, Xu Tianran finally fell off his wheelchair, his face sliding across the ground and leaving a long crater. The empty wheelchair continued to travel alone into the distance.

"Your Highness!" Director Lin Jiayi cried out and rushed to help Xu Tianran up.

Poor Xu Tianran, who was already crippled in both legs, was further injured by the repeated impacts from this Limit Douluo-level opponent, leaving him with a bloody head and a truly miserable state.

Fortunately, Xu Tianran seemed to be quite talented. Despite his physical disability, he was determined and his cultivation had barely reached the level of a Title Douluo. Although he was badly injured, he was still alive.

"This has nothing to do with me... He just wouldn't listen to me finish..." Huo Yuhao explained, but he himself felt that such an explanation was useless.

"How dare you assassinate the Crown Prince!" A dark figure suddenly appeared, moving as fast as a ghost, silently thrusting a sharp dagger toward Huo Yuhao's throat.

"I already said it's none of my business." Huo Yuhao snapped the knife in two with two fingers.

The attack failed, but the dark figure remained menacing, its movements fluid and unpredictable. Its beastly claws, hidden in the darkness, reached for Huo Yuhao's head, its attack becoming even more ferocious.

"This is so troublesome..." Huo Yuhao stopped trying to explain and used hundreds of tendrils of mental energy to wrap around the black shadow's body, tightly binding it.

Subsequently, the intense vibrations and impacts of the mental shockwave were transmitted through the psychic tentacles into the shadowy figure's body, nearly shattering the shadowy figure's Title Douluo soul into pieces.

"Aaaaaah!!!" The dark figure screamed in pain and fainted.

The shadow that had enveloped him dissipated, revealing his true appearance: an elderly man with a slightly hunched back, dressed in the most ordinary servant's attire in the palace. He had been following behind Xu Tianran like an ordinary old servant.

"Shadow Douluo Xue Chen?!" Director Lin Jiayi, who had just carried the bloodied Xu Tianran back, looked at the unconscious old man in astonishment.

Lin Jiayi certainly knew Shadow Douluo. He was a great master who had disappeared from the Sun Moon Empire for many years, far stronger than him. He never expected that Shadow Douluo would become the Crown Prince's personal bodyguard, and he never expected that he would be suddenly defeated by Huo Yuhao, who had just arrived.

"Is he a very powerful figure?" Huo Yuhao asked, judging from his expression. This old man was quite a famous expert.

Lin Jiayi trembled inwardly when Huo Yuhao glanced at him. He, a mere head teacher, could not afford to offend such a formidable figure.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is not directly under the Sun Moon Royal Family, and Lin Jiayi is not a subordinate of the Royal Family. There is no need for him to risk his life for the Crown Prince and the monster in front of him.

Thinking of this, he slowly put Xu Tianran down from his back.

"I'm so sorry, Teacher Huo! I didn't see anything. Please spare my life!" Lin Jiayi begged for mercy directly.

"You're quite pragmatic," Huo Yuhao laughed. "It has to be Director Lin. If everyone could speak so politely, there would be no need for fighting."

“Yes, Teacher Huo is right,” Lin Jiayi echoed, and then he saw a pair of spiritual eyes radiating strange spiritual fluctuations.

"Very good, remember, you didn't see anything." Huo Yuhao gently guided Lin Jiayi, casting a mental illusion spell to make him forget what had just happened.

Lin Jiayi, under the illusion spell, left the place in a daze.

"As for these two..." Huo Yuhao looked at the unconscious Xu Tianran and Shadow Douluo, a troubled expression on his face.

"It wasn't me who wanted to kill them." Huo Yuhao stroked his chin, pondering how to deal with them. These members of the Sun Moon Royal Family should be left to He Caitou, the one who was truly seeking revenge.

It must be Xu Tianran who colluded with the evil spirit master. The sooner we kill him, the better.

Thinking of this, he reached out and opened the portal, pulling He Caitou out from inside.

"A ghost! Oh, it's Yuhao." He Caitou was tidying up his new dormitory when suddenly a hand was put on his shoulder and pulled into a teleportation portal. He immediately saw Huo Yuhao.

"Look at these two people, do you know them?" Huo Yuhao pointed to Xu Tianran and Shadow Douluo on the ground.

He Caitou's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and he gritted his teeth: "I know them! I'd recognize them even if they were ashes!"

"Haha! Then do whatever you want." Huo Yuhao laughed and opened his domain, isolating all sound within this semi-circular space.

With his seriously injured enemy right in front of him, He Caitou had no reason to hold back. He pulled out a 100-round burst submachine gun and opened fire on them.

Under Huo Yuhao's domain shielding, the guns didn't make a sound, but Xu Tianran and his servant had been riddled with bullets, and blood was flowing everywhere.

Only after he had used up all his bullets did He Caitou breathe a sigh of relief, calmly taking out a few miniature bombs and stuffing them into the mouths of Xu Tianran and Ying Douluo.

It has to be said that the vitality of titled Douluo is tenacious. They still have a breath left, but no matter how tenacious they are, the bomb exploding inside their bodies has brought about their deserved end.

Finally, seeing Xu Tianran and Shadow Douluo everywhere, Huo Yuhao patted He Caitou on the back.

"It'll be hard to clean like this," Huo Yuhao said, pointing to the ground.

"It's alright, I have a way." He Caitou smiled and gave a thumbs up. First, he took out his vacuum cleaner and cleaned up the mess left by Xu Tianran and the other person. Then, he took out a small bottle, sprayed some liquid on the ground, and wiped it with a cloth. The ground, which was originally covered in blood, was clean as new.

"With this cleaning agent I invented, even the most stubborn stains can be wiped clean," He Caitou said with a smug smile.

"This is so convenient!" Huo Yuhao exclaimed. "You're the one who invented these everyday gadgets."

"Is it okay for us to kill Xu Tianran like this?" He Caitou finally realized what they had done.

They killed the prince on their very first day. Isn't that a bit too fast?

"You've had your fill of killing and you're only telling me now," Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and joked. "What can you do now that you're dead? Want me to help you ascend the throne and become the new emperor?"

"No, Yuhao, don't joke around." He Caitou immediately waved his hand to refuse. "Having known you for so long, who doesn't know that emperors are things that will be abandoned by the times, and there's nothing good about being an emperor? I certainly don't want to be one."
