Gu Yuena: Huo Yuhao Isn't Human (Certain)

East Sea Spirit Pagoda Airport's spacious, bright departure hall was like a modern palace. The marble floor gleamed like a mirror, reflecting people's hurried footsteps and the shadows of the suitcases they dragged behind them.

Hua Yichen and Huo Yuhao stood at the edge. Seeing a Soul Tool Airplane land, the former said, "Let's go. Time to welcome that young lady from headquarters."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked at the silver-haired figure walking down from the airplane and stepped forward.

I didn't expect her to come study in East Sea... This saves me some trouble.

Gu Yuena got off the airplane and immediately noticed two figures walking toward her. Her gaze met Huo Yuhao's, and her movements paused. Thinking of her life in recent years, her eyes flickered slightly.

All of this had been brought by him.

"Miss Gu Yuena, welcome to the Eastern Sea Branch. I am the Tower Master of the Eastern Sea Branch—Hua Yichen."

When the two sides met, Hua Yichen smiled and nodded to Gu Yuena.

"I've long heard of your great name, Venerable Xiaoyao."

Gu Yuena gave a slight bow and greeted him politely, then looked at Huo Yuhao beside him and extended her right hand without anything unusual. "Hello, I'm Gu Yuena."

"Huo Yuhao."

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly. He smiled and reached out, lightly clasping that clean, pale hand for an instant.

In that instant, Huo Yuhao sensed his Soul Power being forced into circulation, and even the surrounding air seemed to turn cold.

Ice Element Control!

What a blunt probe. She came to Eastsea Academy this time to confirm my identity, didn't she? Huo Yuhao showed no change in expression.

Twin Martial Souls had an obvious difference from ordinary Spirit Masters. The key lay in the fact that when a Twin Martial Souls Spirit Master switched Martial Souls, their own Soul Power would rapidly fuse with the new Martial Soul, and the attribute of their Soul Power would also change.

Recently, in order to attempt a Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Huo Yuhao had been switching between his two Martial Souls. Right now, he was using the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul, and his Soul Power attribute was ice.

And what was the Silver Dragon King?

She was a god. What "Elemental Envoy" Martial Soul? Every element she controlled was, by human understanding, above Ultimate!

Even if her strength was no longer what it had been, the Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul still held no meaning before her. It could only be suppressed.

The Soul Power he carried with the Ultimate Ice attribute had been affected by her the moment their palms met. The person before him could be called the natural enemy of all Elemental Spirit Masters.

His Spiritual Sea had already exploded into chaos. Tian Meng said in disbelief, "What is going on with her? Why can she suppress Yuhao's Ultimate Ice? How could such a Spirit Master appear among humans?!"

The Ice Empress also could not remain calm. Fortunately, she still had her reason and looked toward the only person present who might know the truth. "Old Yi, she is?"

Electrolux said solemnly, "She is not human. She is a god! Yuhao, you..."

Huo Yuhao's tone was very calm. "Old Yi, don't worry. After taking human form, her strength no longer remains. It's only suppression in terms of attribute. I have a contingency plan for dealing with her."

In this era, without the Divine Realm above, there were only so many Deity-level existences. Most of them were also restricted and found it difficult to exert their full strength.

Only the Silver Dragon King, although her strength had been sealed after transforming into human form, still had the fewest restrictions when it came to taking action. If necessary, it seemed she could still bring out quite formidable strength.

Naturally, how to deal with her needed to be considered first. Hoping that because he had given Soul Beasts a chance to survive, she would not act against him was the stupidest idea.

Ten thousand years had passed. Huo Yuhao had had far too much time to think. Even if he only used exhaustive enumeration, he could still come up with contingency plans for various crises.

For example, this current situation.

Throne of Seal, it's time for you to pay some rent!

Through contact, Gu Yuena discovered that Huo Yuhao possessed Soul Power with the Ultimate Ice attribute, confirming Huo Yuhao's identity. Instead, she frowned.

A human could not live for ten thousand years, much less accomplish something like this, which resembled cultivating all over again. What exactly was going on with Huo Yuhao? He had lived for ten thousand years and come to this era, but for what?

She had the thought of probing further, but when she thought of the grace Huo Yuhao had shown in remaking the Soul Beasts, Gu Yuena still did not continue.

There would be plenty of time in the future. She would understand eventually. Confirming Huo Yuhao's identity was enough.

With that thought, Gu Yuena withdrew her hand, only to suddenly sense a burst of spiritual fluctuation.

Was he angered by my probing? With Huo Yuhao's temperament, even after discovering that I can suppress Ultimate Martial Souls, he shouldn't go that far... Hm? It isn't an attack?

Gu Yuena had thought Huo Yuhao was angry because his Soul Power had lost control, but she quickly discovered that it was not a spiritual attack. Instead, it was... Spiritual Sharing?

Ripples rose in Gu Yuena's purple eyes. Bold in her skill, she did not block it.

Even if her strength had been sealed, and on the surface her Spiritual Power was currently not as high as Huo Yuhao's, her essence was still there. It would not be that easy for him to heavily injure her.

The spiritual connection was completed in an instant, and then... Miss Gu Yuena's originally calm and natural expression vanished. She instantly froze in place.

Huo Yuhao had already withdrawn his hand and smiled at Hua Yichen. "Teacher Hua, Senior Luo should have already prepared lunch. Let's take Miss Gu Yuena over."

Hua Yichen looked thoughtfully at Gu Yuena, who had frozen in place, then glanced toward Huo Yuhao and shook his head with a quiet laugh.

How rare. He had actually seen Yuhao counterattack when facing someone else's provocation.

He had naturally sensed the ice-element aura and Spiritual Power fluctuation in the air just now. The ice element should have been Gu Yuena's Martial Soul, and the Spiritual Power was naturally Huo Yuhao's.

Was it because of a genius's pride? After losing by a hair on the rankings, she wanted to win back face? It was just that, looking at things now, this young lady had not gotten her wish.

Not paying too much attention to the matter, Hua Yichen turned and left. "This way, please, Miss Gu Yuena."

Huo Yuhao also nodded to Gu Yuena, then turned and walked in the direction of the Spirit Pagoda.

Gu Yuena paused, then followed the two of them, her purple eyes staring at Huo Yuhao's back with a hint of shock.

Was that the mark of a Super Divine Tool?

And that kind of origin aura was definitely not from an ordinary Super Divine Tool!!!

Even the current her only had clues to a Super Divine Tool; she did not have one at her side.

Huo Yuhao had a Super Divine Tool? Could it be that ten thousand years ago, he had already become a god? Or even a very powerful Deity? Was it only because the Divine Realm had met with disaster that he had come to the Douluo Plane?

No, that was wrong.

The moment this possibility occurred to her, Gu Yuena denied the guess.

Becoming a god was an earth-shaking event. Even if she had been in deep sleep, with her strength, there was no way she would have sensed nothing at all.

And if that was not the case, then when she connected it to all of Huo Yuhao's strange traits, Gu Yuena's gaze turned grave.

To have lived from ten thousand years ago until now, to have researched Soul Spirits and the Soul Spirit Contract—he can't possibly be a simple human. And some of the arrays involved in the Soul Spirit Contract aren't things the Douluo Plane should have at all. Could he be... a Deity reincarnated? With a Super Divine Tool at his side, is he a First Rank God, or... a true God King?

Gu Yuena possessed the Dragon God's memories, and as her imagination kept running, she arrived at an unbelievable conclusion.

But if a person clearly had knowledge from another world and carried a Super Divine Tool too, and you said he was an ordinary person? That was absolutely impossible!

Moreover, with the accumulation Huo Yuhao had built ten thousand years ago, whether he created his own god position or obtained the inheritance of a god position, he should have been at least above a First Rank God.

If he had such an opportunity but did not seize it, did not become a god, and instead remained on the Douluo Continent, that could only mean he had even greater ambitions... or that the Divine Realm did not allow him to become a god!

The former meant Huo Yuhao was the reincarnation of a Deity above First Rank God, and disdained that god position.

As for the latter... would the Divine Realm make things difficult for a human? No matter how bad the Divine Realm was, it should not have fallen to such a point, right?

Then it could only mean there was something wrong with Huo Yuhao himself. From the very beginning, he was not human! (Huo Yuhao: Who are you insulting?)

Huo Yuhao: My strength depends entirely on your imagination.

Throne of Seal: See? I told you this guy was very flexible. Nothing's even been settled yet and he's already using me to scare a dragon.

Note: Because of many showings in Douluo 4 and Douluo 3, this book sets Gu Yuena's peak strength as First Rank God, Half-step God King.
