Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

Huo Yuhao looked worriedly at his mother, Huo Yun'er, who was lying unconscious on the bed. Yu Xiaogang had just used his Soul Skill to heal her, but he hadn't touched the seal left by the God of Sea Tang San.

If Yu Xiaogang were to break the seal now, it would only hasten Huo Yun'er's death. After all, the main battleground is her weakened soul, and Yu Xiaogang is truly afraid that he might accidentally shatter Huo Yun'er's soul.

This would surely earn Huo Yuhao's wrath; it was clearly a case of good intentions gone wrong! He could only Golden Cicada Sheds its Shell again, thankfully he'd done it once before with his own disciple Tang San.

This time, however, the difficulty had increased dramatically. Yu Xiaogang directly explained the situation to his apprentice, Huo Yuhao.

"How is that possible! Teacher, you said that God of Sea Tang San, placed a sealing curse on my mother in order to obtain my fortune? Even without what happened before, she would still die when the time comes?"

"The teacher has told you the truth, Xiao Yuhao. As a grown man, it is now your turn to protect your mother. Do you believe that the teacher will use a fake soul to deceive this seal and curse, and take your mother's soul to a safe place, waiting for you, Xiao Yuhao, to become a god and resurrect your mother?"

Or are you going to be bound by this seal and curse, forced to watch helplessly as your mother goes to the Divine Realm? Even then, your teacher can't guarantee your mother's safety, Xiao Yuhao.

Yu Xiaogang's decision to entrust such an important choice to Huo Yuhao, who was only nine years old, caused the young boy great distress.

"Teacher, are you a god? Isn't there any other way? Why can't you just save Mom directly?"

"Xiao Yuhao, don't be fooled by the fact that your teacher is standing right in front of you. This is just an avatar of yours. My true self is in another world. I have high hopes for you, Xiao Yuhao. You will definitely become a powerful god..."

Yu Xiaogang's words left Huo Yuhao at a loss. The God of Sea Tang San, who was praised in the Douluo Continent, was actually a hypocrite who would harm his mother for some unknown reason.

Now that his new teacher is acting all mysterious, young Huo Yuhao is at a loss and doesn't know what to do. He's completely at a loss.

"Yuhao, let your teacher do it! Mom doesn't want to be a constraint or a burden to you. Mom has come to terms with things over the years, and maybe it was just wishful thinking on Mom's part. Mom is so tired right now. Can Mom get some sleep? Maybe when I wake up, everything will be better."

At this moment, Huo Yun'er had already woken up. She had clearly heard Yu Xiaogang explain the situation. Thinking about how her years of hard work had only resulted in disappointment, and how that man had never written her a single letter.

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's appearance and words on that day shattered his long-held dream, and seeing his nine-year-old son who was still as thin and weak as a six-year-old child.

Huo Yun'er felt that her son was so irritating. If she had woken up and left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion sooner, perhaps her son Huo Yuhao would have had a better life and wouldn't have had to suffer with her. This time, he might have lost his life.

This time, Huo Yun'er finally saw herself clearly. A mother's love makes her strong, and she is willing to do anything for her son, Huo Yuhao.

"Waaah... Mom! You're finally awake... Waaah, I thought Mom was going to leave Yuhao... Waaah!"

"This esteemed Lord Soul Master has worked his magic. I am prepared. I know that the sealing curse has penetrated deep into my soul, and I have no choice but to act swiftly and decisively."

When Huo Yuhao saw his mother wake up, he rushed into her familiar arms and burst into tears. After all, Huo Yuhao was just a little kid who was only nine years old.

Huo Yun'er gently stroked Huo Yuhao's dry hair, which felt particularly irritating to her eyes. Now that she came to her senses, she realized that she had missed a lot of things. She should have left the White Tiger Duke's Mansion long ago, perhaps even when she was pregnant with Xiao Yuhao.

As a nobleman's personal maid, Huo Yun'er knew how ruthless nobles could be. She only regretted having unrealistic fantasies back then; there's no going back in this world.

"I apologize for making you laugh, Lord Soul Master. May I ask your name? After all, Xiao Yuhao has already become your Your Excellency, and as his unworthy mother, I still want to know what kind of teacher Xiao Yuhao has chosen."

"It's nothing, it's just a situation that parents face. I'm a father of a daughter myself, so I can understand. Perhaps my name sounds familiar to you, but don't panic. My name is Yu Xiaogang."

"So it's Teacher Yu! Yu... Yu Xiaogang, the theoretical Grandmaster of the Douluo Continent from ten thousand years ago? The Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang who proposed the Ten Core Competitiveness Theories of Martial Souls? It's impossible that someone from ten thousand years ago would appear now?"

As Dai Hao's personal maid, the master of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, she also reads books frequently, especially since the White Tiger Duke's Mansion's Mansion had once been wealthy, and she has recorded many secrets of the Douluo World.

Huo Yun'er was also very surprised when she learned that Yu Xiaogang's name. Nowadays, no one would dare to use that name except for the person himself. She really couldn't think of any other reason.

"Hehe, don't panic, I'm not dead yet! But my name is indeed Yu Xiaogang, but I am him, and he may not be me."

"Xiao Yuhao, I'll have to trouble you, Yu Xiaogang Your Excellency. I'm a terrible mother to you."

"It's alright, I'll start right away. I'll first Huo Yun'er a bit of your spiritual essence as a foundation to prepare another soul body for you, so that the God of Sea Tang San can escape like a Golden Cicada Sheds its Shell!"

Yu Xiaogang's idea was to create a soul shell, and at the moment of Huo Yun'er's death, directly transfer Huo Yun'er's soul consciousness to the new soul shell, so that the God of Sea Tang San could take a blank soul back with him.

Yu Xiaogang patted Huo Yuhao's head, who was standing to the side with a red face after crying, and directly deactivated the Three-Dimensional Deduction Simulation, revealing the metallic corpse.

Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao stared wide-eyed at the person who had suddenly appeared before them. Where had such a big teacher gone? He was just here a moment ago!

Huo Yuhao complained that his mother was saved and had completely left that hellhole. Huo Yuhao had just cried and figured it out that he had actually been taken in as a disciple by such a powerful person.

Huo Yuhao was secretly pleased, but for his mother's sake, he had to study and cultivate diligently with his teacher and strive to become a god and resurrect his mother as soon as possible. This had become Huo Yuhao's obsession. However, he planned to make sure that none of those who had bullied him and his mother got away with it.

And then there's Dai Hao, the father who never shows up. Huo Yuhao will have to question him about who he and his mother really are!

Yu Xiaogang opened the chest cavity of Explorer No. 2, revealing the crystal that stored the Divine Sense Soul Tool, and then said to Huo Yuhao looked on with curiosity:

"Teacher Yuhao is currently only a Divine Sense clone. This Soul Tool stores the soul Divine Sense. When your mother's new soul body is placed in a culture dish, this Divine Sense of the teacher will need a place."

"Where did the teacher say? Yuhao will definitely find it for the teacher if he knows it!"

"No need, Yuhao. What I'm talking about is your brain, the unexplored Sea of Consciousness. This way, it will be easier for me to teach you, Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao glanced at his pale and weak mother, then turned to look at the blue crystal Soul Tool, and gritted his teeth before agreeing. He had nothing left to give.

Huo Yuhao believed that the teacher who saved him and his mother from dire straits was a great person!

"Come on! Teacher, I'm ready. I'll do anything for my mom!"

"Yuhao... it's Mom's fault for letting you down."
