Douluo Continent: Reborn Yuhao, their eyes are strange

Chapter 290 Yuhao, I'm entrusting Xinglan to you from now on.

Chapter 290 Yuhao, I'm entrusting Xinglan to you from now on.

Huo Yuhao only spoke slowly after he saw a slight blush creep up Ya Li's usually calm and composed face.

"The lives of ordinary people have indeed undergone a qualitative leap compared to ten thousand years ago. Although the open and covert struggles between various Soul Master factions are not much different from those ten thousand years ago, they are still a mess."

If this were simply a world made up of humans, then while it might not be perfect, it would be enough.

Ya Li naturally understood the deeper meaning hidden in Huo Yuhao's words, and subconsciously revealed a complicated bitter smile.

"You are still just a human being, and that's not a responsibility you need to bear. For the person you were at that time, you did everything you were supposed to do."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, his words tinged with self-deprecation: "Every effect has a cause. If I hadn't promoted the Soul Spirit Contract back then, perhaps the Soul Beast race wouldn't have fallen to such a state today."

"When only spirit rings exist, a spirit master's breakthrough in overcoming a bottleneck depends heavily on hunting spirit beasts."

When the number of spirit beasts drops to a critical point due to excessive hunting by human spirit masters, spirit masters, in order to ensure their own survival and that their offspring will still have rings to attach to, will spontaneously protect the spirit beasts and maintain the ecosystem.

Without giving Ya Li a chance to speak, Huo Yuhao continued, "But the emergence of the Soul Contract, especially after the Spirit Pagoda tampered with the original equal contract, completely shattered this fragile balance."

"In order to research artificial soul spirits, the Spirit Transmission Tower began an unprecedented and frenzied hunt for soul beasts. After all, they could be directly turned into soul spirits after death and sealed in the Spirit Ascension Platform."

Furthermore, the production of rare souls can be artificially controlled to further solidify the Spirit Pagoda's monopolistic position.

It was this greed, which was like draining the pond to catch all the fish, that ultimately led to the devastating blows suffered by land-based spirit beasts over the course of ten thousand years.

On the Douluo Continent today, the once thriving soul beast races are probably reduced to only a handful.

Yali let out a soft sigh.

She could naturally understand Huo Yuhao's state of mind at this moment, just as she had chosen to burn her own life to save people suffering from the plague.

However, what lies between the two races of humans and spirit beasts is a deep-seated hatred accumulated over tens of thousands of years, which cannot be explained in a few words, nor can it be reversed by the will of any one person.

Thinking of this, Ya Li could only temporarily change the subject, which was too heavy, and said, "Yu Hao, I have also asked Elder Jin about the second thing you asked me to do, and I have told him part of the situation you mentioned without revealing your true identity."

"Old Jin also admitted that he did indeed accept Tang San's mother into the Golden Ancient Tree, allowing her to rely on the tree's immense life energy. However, he didn't entirely believe the things you mentioned."

Yali paused for a moment, carefully organizing her thoughts, trying to express the Golden Tree's attitude more clearly.

"After all, he was originally transplanted to Seagod Island by Tang San himself, and later he also absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor who had become a god, so his speed of evolving into the core of planetary life also increased significantly."

From his perspective, he had indeed received a favor from Tang San. However, Elder Jin also assured me that he would never reveal the contents of our conversation to the Blue Silver Emperor.

After a moment's thought, Huo Yuhao understood what the Golden Ancient Tree meant and said calmly, "It's less that he doesn't believe in it, and more that he wants to hedge his bets and not offend either side. However, it's only human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm."

When the God Realm was in chaos, Tang Hao and Ah Yin were not in the God Realm and were not affected by the temporal turbulence.

Unlike Dai Mubai and the others, they didn't return to the Douluo Continent with half-crippled bodies.

Those two have almost completely retained the full strength of a second-level god. Even though they are subject to the suppression of the plane, it is no exaggeration to say that they are currently the strongest in the Douluo plane.

It's perfectly normal for the ancient golden tree to be wary.

"However," Huo Yuhao's eyes sharpened again, "I'm afraid I'll need to borrow the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal."

In the previous world, with the guidance of Elder Yi and the help of Gu Yuena, he successfully extracted the wisp of Tang San's consciousness that was hidden deep within Wang Dong'er's spiritual sea.

He had experienced this before when he and Dai Yun'er crossed the ocean on a cargo ship.

Although the sea god has fallen and his divine status has shattered, the authority over the sea has not been fully liberated; about half of it remains bound by an invisible force.

In this situation, by using the Vast Ocean Crystal as a lock, and with that wisp of Tang San's divine consciousness as a key, he might have a chance to completely liberate the power that the ocean has been bound by, and let the power of the ocean return to the plane itself.

Perhaps, this will allow the consciousness of the other plane to refocus its attention on itself.

I am no longer the person I was, who received the favor of the plane from the very beginning.

Luck, like destiny, is a mysterious and enigmatic thing.

Huo Yuhao was also unsure whether the plane's consciousness still had the capacity to pay attention to him, given the increasingly scarce life energy on the planet.

However, the power to liberate the sea will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the restoration of the entire plane.

However, doing so would also alert the enemy.

This caused Tang Hao and Ah Yin, who were hiding in the shadows, to do some unexpected things, even to the point of desperation.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's new request, Ya Li's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of difficulty appeared on her face.

"The Vast Ocean Crystal has always been one of the most important treasures of the academy, and is usually kept by the current head of the Sea God Pavilion."

However, given Yun Ming's current situation, obtaining it would undoubtedly alert Long Yeyue.

Yali was ultimately an outsider when it came to many affairs of the Sea God Pavilion.

Long Yeyue had been dissatisfied with her, a fact she was well aware of, and she naturally understood how difficult it would be to borrow the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal from her.

"Dragon Night Moon————"

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

For this true supreme ruler of the Sea God Pavilion, even Yun Ming, the current Pavilion Master, had to maintain a certain level of respect for her most of the time.

Nanali had complained to Huo Yuhao more than once that it was fine if this Light and Dark Douluo didn't interfere, but once she really got the urge to meddle, the result would definitely be chaos throughout the entire academy.

Even nearly two hundred years ago, the relationship between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Tower had eased somewhat, and it seemed that they were about to reconcile.

However, because this Light and Dark Douluo once charged into the Spirit Pagoda headquarters alone during a conflict and gave the Spirit Pagoda Master a resounding slap in the face in front of everyone.

If it weren't for the mediation of the previous Sea God Pavilion Master, the full-scale war between Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda would probably have broken out again long ago.

Just as Ya Li and Huo Yuhao were talking, Shen Yi, who was standing in front of the soul guide screen recording, suddenly spoke up: "Currently, there are sixty people remaining in the virtual space, and the terrain has shrunk by fifty percent."

Inside the virtual space, Dai Yun'er, who was happily hiding behind Wu Siduo and Gu Yue, and picking up kills with Xu Xiaoyan, was startled and felt the scene in front of her become distorted and blurry in an instant.

The next moment, the four sisters found themselves in a completely new place.

In this not-so-large forest clearing, nearly thirty students gathered instantly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

What attracted everyone's attention the most was the girl with a single ponytail near the center of the open space.

She held a bright yellow longsword in her hand, its blade shimmering with starlight, its dazzling light striking even in broad daylight.

Ye Xinglan pointed the Star God Sword at the horizon, her entire aura perfectly integrated with the sword, and said coldly, "Lizhi, give me the Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun, then you can leave. After that, I'm afraid I won't have time to deal with you."

O

Xu Lizhi, standing beside her, hesitated for a moment, his face full of worry, but he still quickly released his third soul skill, condensing a steaming hot red bean bun and handing it to Ye Xinglan.

"Sister Xinglan, how about we just forget about it? Wouldn't it be better if we found somewhere to hide first?"

In Xu Lizhi's view, the best way to win the position of squad leader is through strategy.

The best strategy is to quietly conceal your strength, wait until only a few competitors remain, and then unleash your full power to deliver the decisive blow.

But Ye Xinglan has been on a killing spree ever since this chaotic battle began, displaying her sharp edge.

In just a few minutes, she had eliminated more than ten trainees.

Such intense combat has caused her own soul power and physical strength to drop to a low point.

Ye Xinglan didn't say much, but her azure eyes still revealed a sharp light like a sword's edge.

After receiving the red bean bun, she swallowed it without hesitation.

As soon as the red bean bun entered her stomach, her entire aura suddenly changed, and her previously exhausted soul power and physical strength rapidly increased.

Ye Xinglan's straight figure became even sharper, and a soaring sword intent gathered around her. Even from a distance, the sharp aura was enough to make people feel a chilling cold.

Outside, Huo Yuhao stroked his smooth chin, watching the girl on the soul guidance screen who soared into the sky, her whole body merging into the dazzling sword light, falling like the morning star. He subconsciously said, "If she chooses to walk this invincible path that dominates the world, it will probably be very difficult."

If you encounter failure during your growth and fail to learn from it and find what you want, then in the future you may not even be able to hold the sword firmly in your hand.

The girl in front of me has already reached the level of unity between body and sword at this age, and has touched the threshold of sword intent.

Her talent in swordsmanship is truly astonishing.

Even in Huo Yuhao's opinion, she was no less capable than Ji Juechen back then.

However, in the path of swordsmanship, excessive rigidity easily leads to breakage.

Even Ji Juechen, who was devoted to the sword path all his life, only achieved a true breakthrough after finding the person he wanted to protect, thus perfecting his sword intent.

"Xinglan, that's just how strong-willed she is."

Yali's tone was tinged with a mix of emotion and helplessness. "The last person to take this path and succeed was Yunming a hundred years ago."

Near Zhu Zhechi, near the ink is black.

Having cultivated in Shrek Academy's inner courtyard since childhood and grown up listening to Yun Ming's legendary stories, it's only natural that Ye Xinglan would imitate the cultivation path of that Sky-Supporting Douluo.

At this point, Ya Li gently clasped her hands together in front of her and solemnly entrusted Huo Yuhao with the task: "Yuhao, you are now a first-grade teacher. So, I entrust Xinglan to you from now on."

I hope you can put in the effort to guide her onto the path that best suits her, and prevent her from going down a dead end or getting stuck in a rut.

Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched involuntarily, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart. It was as if he had been forced to accept a troublesome girl.

He's always been someone who responds better to gentle persuasion than force, and to be honest, he doesn't have much affection for Ye Xinglan's unconventional personality.

But then he thought that he had asked Yali for so many things, and he had to repay the favor.

In addition, given that he was indeed a teacher, and that teaching students was his duty, he eventually nodded in agreement.

"I will do my best."

I just hope that Ye Xinglan's talent is truly comparable to Ji Juechen's.

Unlike the Soul Master, whose theoretical system is already fully developed, the Dao of Swordsmanship, which relies more on personal temperament, is something that Huo Yuhao is not entirely confident about.

After all, back then, every time he and Ji Juechen sparred, Ji Juechen could directly learn something new from it, thus constantly improving his own sword intent and even innovating.

That pure dedication to swordsmanship and astonishing talent is something that cannot be found in the past.

Within the virtual space, as the dazzling starlight falling from the sky suddenly exploded, the Star God Sword in Ye Xinglan's hand let out a clear and melodious chant.

An incredibly sharp sword aura converged on her, sweeping wildly outwards in all directions, creating a small-scale...

The sword's light and the wind's power leveled everything around it.

Third Soul Skill: Sword Starfall.

This attack was not targeted at any particular mediocre student.

However, with the blessing of the Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun, the astonishing sword intent that the Star God Sword had comprehended was still unstoppable.

Even though they were only affected by the leaked sword energy, nearly ten students didn't even have time to react before they turned into streaks of white light and disappeared into the virtual space.

The remaining students stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Ye Xinglan, who was enveloped in dazzling starlight and still exuded heroic spirit.

They simply couldn't understand why, even though everyone was a three-ring Soul Master, the damage difference was so great.

Even Xu Yucheng, the Undying Soul Master ranked nineteenth on the list of young geniuses and a four-ring Soul Master, probably couldn't compare to this girl in terms of Soul Skill damage.
