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

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

"Yuhao, that smile of yours is so sinister. You look like a villain."

Huo Yuhao was not ashamed. If anything, he took pride in it.

"I'm a villain to begin with."

Tang God King was a pure and spotless righteous figure, so naturally, the villain could only be him.

Besides, just look—how many villain bosses had gathered in the Spirit Pagoda? Di Tian, Silver Dragon King, the Qian Gu Clan. What was wrong with adding one more him?

Electrolux pondered for a moment, then said with certainty, "It's not just that, is it, Yuhao? If there were no other benefits, you wouldn't approach 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.

This period was the easiest time to obtain the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. He could not take the divine core, but a thread of Bloodline Power was possible. Likewise, a single thread... would be enough!

Little Wulin, I'm not someone who asks for nothing in return. You took all kinds of gifts I indirectly gave you, so it's not too much for me to take a thread of Bloodline Power as payment, right? Don't worry, it won't hurt.

Seeing this, Electrolux more or less understood Huo Yuhao's thoughts and said, "In that case, you may have to spend quite a lot of time with him. To avoid accidents, we need to make some arrangements. Should we place that piece of Gold of Life in the Spiritual Sea first?"

"When necessary, fuse it with the Blade of Life Protection. That way, it can preserve your life in a crisis and also strengthen my divine sense."

Although according to Huo Yuhao, Tang San's Divine Sense and the Silver Dragon King's state were both half-crippled, preparations still had to be made. Of course, the main purpose was to deal with the Silver Dragon King. Old Yi was very clear on the limits of what divine sense could accomplish.

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 in order to exist for long. Just like ten thousand years ago, when he himself was weak, he had to rely on Yuhao's own strength to fight. There were quite a few restrictions.

As for the other piece of Gold of Life he mentioned, it was naturally the Gold of Life that had been devoured by the Soul Beast—the Golden Tortoise—ten thousand years ago.

Since Huo Yuhao knew this opportunity existed, of course he would not let it pass. He had taken the initiative to seek the other party out and, in exchange for allowing it to survive through a Soul Spirit Contract, obtained the Gold of Life.

It was just that, in Huo Yuhao's view, the state after fusing two pieces of Gold of Life was too dangerous. It could even make contact with the Divine Realm, so ten thousand years ago, he had not fused it into the Blade of Life Protection.

And the Life Force produced when the two pieces of Gold of Life fused, combined with Undead Magic, was enough for Huo Yuhao to recover from the brink of death to his full strength and catch his opponent off guard.

"Mm, this is exactly what I wanted to ask you to do."

Huo Yuhao nodded. "There's also the Undead Demigod Plane. My reactions right now aren't as fast as yours, so I'll have you control it first, Old Yi."

The next day, when Gu Yuena appeared in front of everyone again, Hua Yichen was surprised to discover that the stunning little girl from yesterday had actually changed her appearance.

Black hair and black eyes, with a single ponytail. Her figure was considered above average among those her age, very well-proportioned, but her looks could only be called delicate and pretty. Her large eyes shone with spirit.

Hua Yichen was somewhat puzzled. "What's this?"

"Entering Eastsea Academy, I feel this appearance will be better, so as not to invite trouble," Gu Yuena replied.

Last night, she had thought about it carefully. Huo Yuhao had deliberately pointed out her Martial Soul. Was he hinting that she did not resemble a human and yet lacked self-awareness?

Clearly, a god king who had reincarnated continuously for ten thousand years was more like a human than she was. By learning from him, she could understand humans more quickly.

Added to Zi Ji's earlier reminder, Gu Yuena simply changed her appearance and made herself seem a little more ordinary. (Refer to Gu Yue.)

"..."

Huo Yuhao looked at Miss Gu Yuena, whose appearance had changed drastically, and fell silent.

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

Di Tian and the others wouldn't have taught the Silver Dragon King into uselessness while teaching her how humans lived, would they?

After all, no matter how much they integrated, they were still high-level members of the Spirit Pagoda. There was a difference between their understanding and that of ordinary people.

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

She had sealed her memories and transformed, then nearly got caught by human traffickers. Fortunately, someone saved her.

As long as one awakened, one would have a Martial Soul, yet she alone had no Martial Soul. Fortunately, no one paid attention.

When entering Eastsea Academy, she did not use the proper channels, but went to find a teacher who was in class. Fortunately, that person was Wu Zhangkong.

This... wouldn't do. He could not keep thinking about it. Otherwise, he was actually starting to feel that the Silver Dragon King was nothing special, and even developed a strange sense of déjà vu, inexplicably feeling that she resembled a certain famous Teacher Da Ye.

That was the Dragon God's wisdom. He could not look down on her... Eh? Speaking of which, setting Gu Yuena aside, where was the Dragon God's wisdom?

Setting up Heavenly Tribulations to forbid Soul Beasts from becoming gods?

Huo Yuhao did not consider himself smart, so whenever he thought through a plan and completed an important action, he would review it afterward. But his IQ should still be above the basic line, right? He had not disgraced transmigrators, right?

Why was he unable to 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 his wisdom could not compare to the Dragon God's...

Hua Yichen raised an eyebrow. He did not ask about Gu Yuena's ability to change her appearance, but turned to look at Huo Yuhao and said in a slightly admonishing tone:

"You have already memorized the First Generation Tower Master's Admonitions. You must keep its many taboos firmly in mind and not violate them."

Huo Yuhao came back to himself. "...I understand."

Bringing this up at a time like this probably isn't meant for me to hear, is it?

"..."

Gu Yuena took a deep breath.

"May I ask what you mean by that, Titled Douluo? Is this a warning to me?"

Gu Yuena really had heard Di Tian and the others talk about the absurd affair between her teacher and his younger sister. After all, it was a special case within the Spirit Pagoda, rare even in a thousand years, and had been held up to her as a negative example.

And of course, Heavenly Phoenix Douluo had taken her to read that copy of the First Generation Tower Master's Admonitions as well. She still remembered the incredibly complicated look in the other woman's eyes at the time.

But what did that have to do with her?

She, the Silver Dragon King, was absolutely not some lovestruck fool!

After giving them a serious round of instructions, Hua Yichen finally left them with one sentence—there was a surprise waiting for them in the academy—then departed.

Before leaving, he cast a thoughtful glance at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

The atmosphere between those two was a little strange.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena found a chance to be alone with Huo Yuhao and said bluntly:

"I'm willing to sign the contract."

Huo Yuhao's eyes stirred slightly. He said nothing, only nodded.

Complaints were complaints, but Gu Yuena's strength alone was worthy of his respect. Besides, reality was reality, and the story in the book could only be used as a reference.

He would not underestimate her.

This contract was a trap he had laid for her. After signing the Equal Contract, unless Gu Yuena brought out Deity-level 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.

However, even if something went wrong on his side, with Gu Yuena's strength, she would at most have to pay a certain price. As for the reverse... he and Old Yi had long since figured out things like contracts. If it really came down to it, couldn't they just find a soul spirit to bear the price?

It's decided, then—you're up, Evil Emperor!

Only, Gu Yuena showing willingness to sign the contract—was it because she wanted to numb his vigilance and continue carrying out her own plan... or was it that she had no intention of carrying out any dangerous plan at all, and simply wanted to gain the goodwill and support of an unknown Deity?

Huo Yuhao watched as both their blood entered a formation at the same time. Sensing the faint connection being established between the two of them, he narrowed his eyes.

The outcomes led by the former and the latter were worlds apart...

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

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

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