Douluo: The Peerless Eye of Heaven Yu Hao

Chapter 17 The Living World (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

"Luo Li, you must remember that the Blood Tiger Martial Soul must control the murderous aura. Only with the blessing of murderous aura can your Martial Soul exert its strongest power at this stage."

In the 500-square-meter training ground, on the solid white stone floor, a nine-year-old child stood there with blood-red soul power fluctuations all over his body. In front of him was a huge animal skull.

The beast's skull was as big as a turtle, and was blue-gray in color overall. There were a large number of cracked scales on the surface, and there was a pair of blood-red eyes where the pupils should be. The owner of the beast's skull was obviously dead, but those eyes were still filled with a terrifying, cold, bloody aura.

Its mouthparts are covered with a large number of sharp teeth, like blood thorns inserted in it. I'm afraid that when this creature is alive, its attack power must be extremely strong.

Dai Luoli was trembling all over as he looked at the beast skull. Behind him, there was an illusory light and shadow of the blood tiger martial spirit. When the blood tiger faced the beast skull, perhaps influenced by Dai Luoli, it was also trembling, and seemed to be extremely afraid of the beast skull.

A large amount of sweat soaked Dai Luoli's clothes, and the blood-red soul power on his body was flickering.

Perhaps to outsiders, everything seems normal, just a boy standing in front of a huge animal skull.

But in fact, in Dai Luoli's sight, a huge and strange creature was crawling on the ground, staring at him with its terrifying scarlet eyes. In those lifeless eyes, there was an extremely strong murderous aura, as if it could kill everything.

"This child's martial soul has mutated just like yours, and also had problems with the mutation, just like you. You have the innate first-level soul power, but he's strange. At first, he had the innate ninth-level soul power, but later inexplicably became the innate third-level soul power." Old Chen looked at Dai Luoli with a serious look. In his hand, there was a special dark blue stone, which was releasing a strange gas that completely surrounded Dai Luoli and the beast skull.

Although Huo Yuhao didn't know what Dai Luoli had experienced, he could sense that Dai Luoli's emotions were extremely unstable at the moment.

"Mr. Chen, are you planning to use the head of this soul beast to help Dai Luoli get used to the murderous aura in advance?" Huo Yuhao asked.

Elder Chen's eyes moved slightly, somewhat surprised by Huo Yuhao's question. "Yes, that's my plan. This child is still young, and he can't experience real killing yet, but I'm using the Yin Demon Turtle's head to let him sense the real killing intent in advance, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation for him to control killing intent in the future."

"This stone is called the Bewildering Stone. As long as you inject soul power into it, it will release a psychedelic gas. Once you are enveloped by this gas, it will cause changes in your senses. Similarly, this gas can also stimulate the remaining murderous aura in the beast's skull. The combination of the two will produce a unique effect."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding.

The way Old Chen taught him was very different from the way he taught Dai Luoli. After all, their martial spirits were different.

Perhaps it was because Old Chen thought that it would be difficult for him to become a powerful soul master in the future, so he only taught him some knowledge-based things.

Whether it is the knowledge of soul beasts, the knowledge of humans, or the knowledge of special existences in nature, there is a lot of it.

Huo Yuhao gladly memorized all this knowledge. He knew that although he was a time traveler with a God's perspective, the Douluo Continent before him was no longer a world of novels, but a living world, and the people were no longer an illusory existence described in words, but real individuals with flesh and blood.

This knowledge will always be extremely useful at some point.

If you think you are different from the rest of the world, are unwilling to integrate into this world, and appear to be extra special, you will eventually get into trouble one day.

Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Luoli and said after a moment’s silence, “Mr. Chen, have you ever thought that the reason why Dai Luoli’s martial soul awakening caused two changes in his innate soul power is because the conventional martial soul awakening method is not enough to support his talent?”

Mr. Chen was moved, "Tell me what you think."

He was becoming more and more amazed at Huo Yuhao. In his opinion, Huo Yuhao seemed to be very good at drawing inferences from one instance.

Huo Yuhao recalled the situation in the original novel and said in a deep voice: "The Blood Tiger Martial Soul is derived from the White Tiger Martial Soul. According to the records in the Martial Soul Encyclopedia you gave me, this Martial Soul also has mental power capabilities. But from what I can see, Dai Luoli does not seem to have erupted in mental power attributes."

“Go on.” Old Chen did not respond and just asked Huo Yuhao to continue.

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment and continued, “If you want Dai Luoli to truly unleash the power of the Blood Tiger Martial Spirit, he needs to receive extreme levels of mental stimulation.”

Elder Chen smiled and twirled his beard, saying, "What you said is actually known to the entire Duke's Mansion's top brass. That's why I took out the Yin Demon Turtle's head to stimulate Luo Li. This will not only allow him to adapt to the murderous aura in advance, but also stimulate his martial soul to develop mental attributes. But obviously, this has no effect. Luo Li can only use part of the White Tiger martial soul's ability."

Old Chen was very impressed by Huo Yuhao's personal insights, because Huo Yuhao, who was less than a soul master, could actually see problems that ordinary soul kings could hardly see.

But Dai Luoli’s martial soul problem is not so easy to solve. After all, the attributes of mental power involve the soul.

“I think that’s because the stimulation is not enough.” Huo Yuhao said softly, “Because mental power involves the soul, you and the other Duke’s Palace masters may be worried about this, so you didn’t choose a more severe method, right?”

Old Chen's pupils shrank and he looked at Huo Yuhao in disbelief.

Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Luoli and said in a deep voice, “In fact, you can give Dai Luoli the right to choose. See if he is willing to lag behind the two brothers he hates for the rest of his life and be mocked by the world, or if he wants to give it a try, even if it means risking his life.”

Old Chen fell silent. All along, what he was most worried about was that Dai Luoli would not be able to withstand stronger mental stimulation, resulting in damage to his soul. In that case, everything would be in big trouble.

But he never asked Dai Luoli what he thought.

He turned his head to look at Dai Luoli who was still gritting his teeth and persevering. His expression became serious as he recalled the vision that the child had made in front of him, which was to become a Titled Douluo.

Becoming a Titled Douluo is extremely difficult. There may be shortcuts on the road to becoming a Soul Master, but only very few people can take it. For most people, they still have to keep their feet on the ground and keep working hard to make progress.

"Perhaps, it's time to ask the child what he thinks."

Mr. Chen talked to himself.

"What are your training methods?" asked Old Chen. On this issue, he treated Huo Yuhao as an adult.

Even Mr. Chen himself felt somewhat amazed and surprised by this.

But in the final analysis, he could only think that it was Huo Yun'er who taught Huo Yuhao these things.

Huo Yuhao knew that Old Chen still hoped that Dai Luoli would choose to fight to the death. He said, “For example, we could take him to a height of a thousand meters and then drop him down, or throw him into the endless sea, or put him in a cage with a soul beast to fight, etc.”

Taking a deep breath, Old Chen looked at Huo Yuhao several times with a strange expression.

Where did this kid learn these and how to use them?

It's really a life-threatening thing.

Some things involve spoilers, and I don’t know how to explain them to you, for example, why the plot is still in the Duke’s Mansion. I can only say that what I am writing now is not random.

Then, although the male protagonist starts out taking the Shrek route, this is too monotonous. Many fan fictions are written this way. I will definitely make changes later, so don't worry.

I plan to write down all the regrets from my previous book in this one.

I estimate that the length of my book Tianyan Yuhao is about two million words.

PS: Although Shrek Academy is annoying, for example, it has double standards, but it is undeniable that once you gain control of it, there are indeed a lot of powerful resources it can provide.

In the end, I hope you can forgive me and thank you for your support.

After reading the comments these days, I almost lost my mind...

Chapter 18 The Book is Called Douluo Dalu

"Did your mother teach you all this?"

In the end, Old Chen couldn't help but ask Huo Yuhao, but in his opinion, apart from Huo Yun'er who followed Dai Hao back then, no one could teach Huo Yuhao these things.

“No.” Huo Yuhao shook his head.

"Then how do you know all this?" Mr. Chen was a little surprised.

“I learned all this from a literature book at a local stall. It just so happens that some of the content is very compatible with Dai Luoli,” Huo Yuhao explained.

"Street literature?" Mr. Chen was stunned for a moment, "What's the name of that book?"

Huo Yuhao turned his head and glanced at Old Chen. He was silent for a moment and said, "The book is called "Douluo Dalu"

"Douluo Continent?" Elder Chen reacted and raised his eyebrows. "You kid, you are not reading those story books, are you? I tell you, these story books are fine to read as entertainment, but don't take many things in them seriously."

"Those stories left a deep mark on Xingluo City. For example, Tang San was strong enough to lift a cauldron at the age of three, and he could run around the Xingdou Great Forest once a day. Nine golden dragons appeared as soon as he was born, and auspicious signs fell from the sky. Those were all made up by some people."

"Even the scariest is a storybook called Biography of the White Tiger. In it, your father Dai Hao is portrayed as a god descending from heaven. It's said that he was chasing the Sun and Moon Empire on the battlefield, showing off the masculinity of the empire. I have been with your father for so many years, and it was only after reading these storybooks that I learned that this was actually true."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I know what I'm doing." Huo Yuhao nodded with a strange expression. What are these?

“That’s fine.” Old Chen finally understood why Huo Yuhao was so able to draw inferences from one instance. It turned out that it was because he had read too many storybooks sold on the street.

Huo Yuhao naturally would not explain, as what he saw was very different from what Old Chen said.

But you know what, there is a local literature called "Douluo Dalu" and it is not made up. In addition to this, there are some other books, such as:

"The Secret of the First Generation of Shrek Seven Devils' Becoming Gods, a Must-Read for Soul Masters!"

"The reason for the destruction of the Spirit Hall turned out to be..."

"Teach you step by step how to turn a soul beast into a wife"

There are too many of these anyway.

People always need something fun to watch, and so the story was born.

But it seems that the biography of the White Tiger described by Mr. Chen is more realistic...

"Well."

Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard. Huo Yuhao turned around and saw that Old Chen had already cut off the soul power injection into the Bewilderment Stone. Dai Luoli, who was experiencing the murderous aura of the Yin Demon Turtle, felt his legs go limp and he sat down on the floor.

"Huff, huff." After coming out of the illusion, Dai Luoli's whole body was drenched in cold sweat and he was still gasping for breath.

Huo Yuhao walked slowly towards Dai Luoli, and when he reached his side, he stretched out his hand.

Dai Luoli was gasping for breath when he suddenly noticed a hand reaching out. He thought it was Grandpa Chen, but when he looked up, he was stunned.

The boy whom Grandpa Chen asked him to call brother was standing there.

Huo Yuhao had a smile on his face. "Why? The floor is so comfortable that you don't want to get up?"

Perhaps it was because Huo Yuhao’s smile was very gentle, Dai Luoli subconsciously reached out and grabbed Huo Yuhao’s hand.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao pulled and stood up with Dai Luoli.

"Thank you." Dai Luoli said after a moment of silence. He had no friends of the same age in the Duke's Mansion.

“You’re welcome.” Huo Yuhao said casually.

On the other side, Chen Lao smiled and put away the confusing stone, then came to the two of them and said, "You should take a rest first, and we will continue in the afternoon."

Huo Yuhao and Dai Luoli nodded in succession.

Huo Yuhao and Dai Luoli went to the living room to rest temporarily, but Old Chen did not follow them. He was planning to go and check out the situation because no one had come to cause trouble for Huo Yuhao since last night, and he was a little confused.

He believed that either the Duchess or Dai Huabin must know that Huo Yuhao was hiding with him.

"What is your martial spirit?"

After arriving in the living room, Dai Luoli couldn't help but ask Huo Yuhao. Perhaps because of what happened in the martial arts arena, he was no longer so repulsive to Huo Yuhao.

During the morning class, Huo Yuhao was arranged by Mr. Chen to go to the library to learn knowledge and skills.

Huo Yuhao pointed at his eyes.

"Your martial soul is eyes?" Dai Luoli's eyes lit up. He also learned about martial souls and knew that the eye martial soul belonged to the body's martial soul, which was a very powerful existence.

"So what level are you now? Are you a great soul master?"

"I am now level eight." Huo Yuhao answered Dai Luoli's question truthfully.

"Ah?" Dai Luoli froze in place. Did he hear it wrong?

Eighth grade?

"Your martial soul is so powerful, why is your soul power level so low?" Dai Luoli was very puzzled.

Huo Yuhao’s mouth twitched. “Can’t you be more tactful when speaking?”

“My innate soul power is only at level one, so my cultivation speed is very slow,” Huo Yuhao explained.

Hearing this, Dai Luoli finally understood. He sighed and said, "You are even more pitiful than me. I at least have a congenital third-level soul power."

Huo Yuhao clenched his fist again and again.

“By the way, will you also study and practice under Grandpa Chen in the future?” Dai Luoli looked at Huo Yuhao expectantly.

“No.” Huo Yuhao shook his head.

Seeing this, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on Dai Luoli's face.

“You seem to want me to stay here and practice as well?” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

Dai Luoli nodded, his expression gloomy, "I don't have any friends. Every day, apart from practicing, I stay at home alone to read and study. I thought you would be like me and continue to study and practice with Grandpa Chen. This way, I can have a friend."

Huo Yuhao looked indifferent as he watched Dai Luoli lower his head in disappointment. He said slowly, "Am I not your friend now?"

Dai Luoli raised his head suddenly.

“Although I am your only friend, you must remember that having many friends is not necessarily a good thing. Having good friends is the right thing to do,” Huo Yuhao said with the tone of an experienced person.

Dai Luoli was stunned for a moment, muttering Huo Yuhao's words in his heart.

“I heard from Mr. Chen that your dream is to become a Titled Douluo?” Huo Yuhao changed the subject.

Hearing this, Dai Luoli scratched his head shyly. It was okay for his elders to know his wish, but it would be awkward for his peers to know his wish. However, he nodded and said, "I want to become a Titled Douluo, so that I can give a slap in the face to those who look down on me and my mother."

“But becoming a Titled Douluo is quite difficult.” Huo Yuhao looked at Dai Luoli.

"I understand what you said." Dai Luoli stretched out his hands and looked at it, and said in a deep voice, "But no matter how difficult it is, I will work hard to practice. Ten years, thirty years, sixty years, as long as I am not dead, I will never give up."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, "If I have a way to speed up your cultivation, are you willing to do it?"

"What method? As long as it can speed up my cultivation, I'm willing to do anything." Dai Luoli said excitedly, his eyes burning.

“Anything?” Huo Yuhao paused and asked, “If this method is likely to cost you your life, would you still be willing to do it?”
