Huo Yuhao: Where Is the Dragon God's Wisdom?

In the end, Tian Meng looked at the smile on Huo Yuhao's face and complained:

"Yuhao, you're smiling so sinisterly. You look like a villain."

Huo Yuhao felt no shame—on the contrary, he was proud of it.

"I was a villain to begin with."

Tang God King was an upright and virtuous figure, so naturally, Huo Yuhao could only be the villain.

Besides, look at how many villain bosses the Spirit Pagoda had gathered: Di Tian, the Silver Dragon King, the Qian Gu Clan. What was one more?

After pondering for a moment, Electrolux said with certainty, "That's not all, is it, Yuhao? If there were no other benefits, you wouldn't be approaching Tang Wulin now. You want... the Golden Dragon King Bloodline?"

Huo Yuhao did not deny it and nodded frankly.

This was the most important reason he had chosen to join the Spirit Pagoda in Eastsea City at this time.

This was the easiest period to obtain the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. He could not take the Divine Core, but a trace of Bloodline Power was possible. Likewise, a trace... was enough!

Little Wulin, it's not that I'm someone who expects nothing in return. You've accepted all kinds of gifts I indirectly sent you, so it isn't too much for me to take a trace of Bloodline Power as payment, right? Don't worry, it won't hurt.

Seeing this, Electrolux roughly understood Huo Yuhao's intentions. "In that case, you may have to spend quite some time with him. To avoid accidents, we need to make some preparations. Should we first place that piece of Life Gold in the Sea of Consciousness?"

"Fuse it with the Life Guardian Blade when necessary. Not only can it save your life in a crisis, it can also strengthen my divine sense."

Although, according to Huo Yuhao, both Tang San's Divine Sense and the Silver Dragon King were only half-functional, preparations still had to be made. Of course, this was mainly to deal with the Silver Dragon King. Elder Yi knew very well the limits of what divine sense could achieve.

Without the Main Body supplying power, that Sea God's divine sense had to rely on Tang Wulin and the power leaking from the Golden Dragon King Seal to exist for long periods. Just as when he himself had been weak Ten Thousand Years Ago, he had needed to rely on Yuhao's own power to fight. There were many restrictions.

As for the other piece of Life Gold he had mentioned, it was naturally the Life Gold that had been devoured Ten Thousand Years Ago by the Soul Beast—the Golden Tortoise.

Knowing full well of this opportunity, Huo Yuhao naturally would not let it slip away. He had sought it out himself and used a Soul Spirit Contract, offering it survival in exchange for the Life Gold.

However, Huo Yuhao considered the state after fusing the two pieces of Life Gold far too dangerous. It could even establish contact with the God Realm, so Ten Thousand Years Ago, he had not fused it into the Life Guardian Blade.

And the life force produced when the two pieces of Life Gold fused, combined with Necromancy, was enough to restore Huo Yuhao from the brink of death to his peak condition, catching his opponents completely off guard.

"Mm, that's exactly what I wanted to ask you to do."

Huo Yuhao nodded. "And the Undead Demiplane as well. My reactions are no longer as sharp as yours, so Elder Yi, you should control it first."

The next day, when Gu Yuena appeared before everyone once more, Hua Yichen was surprised to discover that the stunning little girl from yesterday had completely changed her appearance.

She now had black hair and black eyes, with her hair tied in a single ponytail. Her figure was above average among children her age and very well-proportioned, but her looks could only be called delicate. Her large eyes shone brightly.

Hua Yichen was somewhat puzzled. "What is this?"

"If I'm entering Eastsea Academy, I think it would be better to use this appearance, so as not to attract trouble," Gu Yuena replied.

The previous night, she had thought it over carefully. Had Huo Yuhao deliberately pointed out her Martial Soul because he was hinting that she did not seem human and lacked self-awareness?

Clearly, a God King who had continuously undergone Reincarnation for Ten Thousand Years was more human than she was. Learning from him would allow her to understand humans more quickly.

Together with Zi Ji's earlier reminder, Gu Yuena simply changed her appearance and made herself look more ordinary. (Reference: Gu Yue)

"..."

Huo Yuhao fell silent as he looked at the drastically altered Miss Gu Yuena.

He had hoped Gu Yuena would overinterpret some of his actions, making his identity seem more plausible in her eyes, but... he definitely had not wanted her to overinterpret things in such a useless area.

Could Di Tian and the others have taught the Silver Dragon King into uselessness while she was learning from them how humans lived?

After all, no matter how much they tried to blend in, they were still upper management of the Spirit Pagoda. Their understanding differed from that of ordinary people.

But when Huo Yuhao recalled the Silver Dragon King's actions in the original work, he suddenly fell silent.

She sealed her memories and took human form, nearly getting captured by human traffickers, fortunately saved by someone.

Anyone who awakened had a Martial Soul, yet she alone did not, fortunately drawing no attention.

She enrolled in Eastsea Academy without following the proper procedure and went to find a teacher who was teaching classes, fortunately that person was Wu Changkong.

This... no, I can't keep thinking about it. Otherwise, I'll start feeling that the Silver Dragon King is nothing special. I even have a strange sense of Deja Vu, as though she resembles a certain famous Teacher Daye.

That is the Dragon God's wisdom. I can't underestimate her... Huh? Speaking of which, setting Gu Yuena aside, where exactly is the Dragon God's wisdom?

Setting up the Heavenly Tribulation and forbidding Soul Beasts from becoming gods?

Huo Yuhao did not consider himself particularly smart, so whenever he devised a plan or carried out an important operation, he would review it afterward. But his intelligence should at least have been above the baseline, right? He had not disgraced transmigrators, had he?

Why couldn't I understand the meaning behind the Dragon God's various actions?

After thinking it over and over, Huo Yuhao finally reached a conclusion.

Perhaps it was because my wisdom could not compare to the Dragon God's...

Hua Yichen raised an eyebrow. He did not inquire about Gu Yuena's ability to alter her appearance, instead turning to Huo Yuhao and saying in a vaguely cautionary tone:

"You have already memorized The First Generation Tower Master's Admonition. Remember its many prohibitions well, and do not break them."

Huo Yuhao came back to his senses. "...I understand."

Bringing this up now, he probably wasn't saying it for my benefit, was he?

"..."

Gu Yuena took a deep breath.

"This Titled Douluo, what do you mean by that? Are you warning me?"

Gu Yuena had indeed heard Di Tian and the others talk about the absurd affair between her Teacher and his younger sister. After all, it was an exceptionally rare case within the Spirit Pagoda, one that occurred perhaps once in a thousand years, and it had been presented to her as a cautionary example.

As for The First Generation Tower Master's Admonition, Sky Phoenix Douluo had naturally taken her through it as well. She still remembered the incomparably complicated look in his eyes at the time.

But what did that have to do with her?

She, the Silver Dragon King, was absolutely not Love-Obsessed Mind!

After giving them a serious round of instructions, Hua Yichen finally left them with one last sentence—there was a surprise waiting for them at the Academy—before departing.

Before leaving, he gave Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena a thoughtful look.

There was something strange about the atmosphere between those two.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena found an opportunity to be alone with Huo Yuhao and said bluntly, "I am willing to sign the contract."

Huo Yuhao's gaze shifted slightly. He said nothing, merely nodding.

Jokes aside, Gu Yuena's strength alone deserved his respect. Besides, reality was reality; the stories in books could only serve as reference.

He would not underestimate her.

This contract was a trap he had set for her. Once they signed an Equality Contract, unless Gu Yuena brought out God Tier strength, their lives would be bound together to a certain extent. If she wanted to make a move against him, she would have to consider the consequences.

Even if something happened on his end, with Gu Yuena's strength, she would at most pay a certain price. As for the reverse... Elder Yi and he had long since figured out how to play around with contracts. If it came down to it, couldn't he just find a Soul Spirit to bear the cost?

You're the one, Evil Emperor!

But was Gu Yuena showing willingness to sign the contract because she wanted to lull him into complacency so she could continue carrying out her plan... or did she have no intention of carrying out any dangerous plan at all, merely seeking the favor and support of an unknown deity?

Huo Yuhao watched as their blood entered a Magic Array at the same time. Feeling a faint connection form between them, he narrowed his eyes.

The outcomes led by those two possibilities were a Vast Difference...

Forget it. There was no point thinking about that now.

The instant the contract was signed, Huo Yuhao sensed his perception of and affinity with all kinds of elements, including the Ice Element, increase severalfold.

This was... the power of the Silver Dragon King Bloodline!
