"Inside this is Luoyun Village. The boy at the end of the projection is my accomplice, and what I left behind is a treasure for notifying him.
Oh, there's no need to tell you any of this anyway. You've already made your decision. Whether those people exist, whether they live or die, has nothing to do with you."
With that, Huo Yuhao took an identical pouch out of his Soul Tool and made as if to open it.
Suddenly, a fragrant breeze swept toward him, and a slender, jade-white hand seized his hand in a death grip. Zhang Lexuan pressed herself tightly against Huo Yuhao, despair on her face as she closed her eyes in anguish.
"Let them go, and I'll agree." Zhang Lexuan forced out each word. After saying it, her face turned as white as a sheet of paper.
She had never imagined that a young, weak Evil Soul Master would take her chastity. She wanted to end her life, but the demon before her would not even give her the chance to die.
Bei Bei, I'm sorry.
Meanwhile, in the girls' dormitory at Shrek Academy.
"Achoo! Achoo!"
"Bei Bei, what's wrong?" asked Tang Ya, who was cultivating.
Bei Bei rubbed his nose, then gave the concerned Tang Ya a sweet smile. "Nothing. Maybe I caught a chill. Say, Sect Master Xiaoya, you care so much about this disciple of yours and keep inviting me into your dorm room every day. Aren't you afraid I'll get up to something?"
"Then go ahead. Don't just talk big every time." Tang Ya abruptly stopped cultivating and lay down on the bed. Her snug nightgown was indeed incredibly alluring.
"Ahem, Sect Master Xiaoya, could you be a little more serious?" Bei Bei said with righteous solemnity. "Besides, you summon me to the girls' dormitory whenever something comes up. If I get caught, I'll be expelled."
Tang Ya was unconcerned.
"Don't think I don't know. Every time you come into the girls' dormitory, that old gatekeeper downstairs keeps watch for you. Be honest. What's your relationship with him?"
Bei Bei said, "Uh..."
"What? You can't tell me? Then I'll ask him myself." With that, Tang Ya started to get up.
"Wait! I'll tell you, I'll tell you. Actually, he used to be my family's gatekeeper. When he got old, he came to Shrek Academy to work as a gatekeeper instead." Bei Bei spun the lie without missing a beat, all while repeatedly apologizing to his great-grandfather in his heart.
Dragon God Douluo Mu En: "..."
The Star Dou Great Forest.
Huo Yuhao turned his hand over, caught Zhang Lexuan's hand, and pulled her into his arms. Feeling her delicate body tremble, he said disdainfully, "A mighty Soul Saint, just one step away from becoming a Soul Douluo, reduced to being toyed with by a mere Soul Ancestor. Is everyone at Shrek as stupid as you?"
"It's not that I'm stupid. You're just too despicable," Zhang Lexuan said coldly, looking at Huo Yuhao as though he were a beast.
"On a battlefield, either you die or I do. What does being despicable have to do with it? It's just the strong devouring the weak. Enough. Your stupidity has really opened my eyes. Hurry up and get lost. You stink. What a mood killer."
Just when Zhang Lexuan thought her chastity was lost, Huo Yuhao suddenly released her hand and shoved her far away.
Even the words Huo Yuhao had just spoken, still echoing in her mind, felt unreal.
"You mean you're letting me go? But why?" Huo Yuhao's sudden change of heart felt utterly unreal to her.
"Because you're too stupid. I'm afraid it would affect the next generation." After tossing out those words, Huo Yuhao vanished with a Flash Step, leaving only a bewildered and astonished Zhang Lexuan behind.
This Evil Soul Master, a Soul Ancestor who had yet to obtain his fifth Soul Ring, was actually faster than she was?
How was that possible? And besides,
What did he mean by being afraid it would affect the next generation?
Far away, Huo Yuhao walked in silence, his expression rather grave.
That inner court disciple from Shrek Academy had left a deep impression on him. Everything that had just happened had been a spur-of-the-moment whim, but the result left him sighing with emotion.
Without shedding a drop of blood, he had threatened a powerful Quasi-Soul Douluo into willingly sacrificing even her chastity to protect a village that did not exist. As he had said, it really did seem far too stupid. Such justice was far too heavy a burden.
"Yuhao, if you had been that girl just now, what would you have chosen?" At that moment, Electrolux floated out of his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness. His expression was solemn, as though Huo Yuhao's answer mattered a great deal to him.
It was the first time Huo Yuhao had seen Electrolux look like that. He sank into thought, then answered firmly, "I would have killed him without hesitation."
"Even if an entire village of ordinary people might die along with him?" Electrolux continued.
"I don't have that spirit of self-sacrifice. The people of Luoyun Village are only passing figures in my life. If they died because of me, then out of moral obligation, I would avenge them, provided it was within my power.
To me, the value of one person's life can equal that of a whole group's lives. I don't think the lives of an entire village are worth more than any one individual's. So whatever you choose, it will be unfair to the other side. In that case, why sacrifice yourself?"
"Well said!" Electrolux's eyes shone brightly. He had never expected Huo Yuhao's answer to be so clear-cut.
"Yuhao, do you know why I asked you that question?"
Huo Yuhao looked puzzled.
"Because if someone strong is reduced to being threatened by someone weak, he no longer deserves to be called strong. Only by enduring the utmost loneliness can one become truly strong."
Three days later, Huo Yuhao had gradually ventured deeper into the Mixed Area, even reaching its heart. With his advantage in speed, he easily shook off several troublesome Soul Beasts. Though he was powerful now, he had no desire to slaughter indiscriminately.
After all, although Soul Beasts were a renewable resource, they took far too long to mature. He could not understand the mindset of people who slaughtered Soul Beasts indiscriminately. In this life, he would not be creating Soul Spirits. If the indiscriminate killing continued, the profession of Soul Master would disappear sooner or later.
Avoiding those low-level Soul Beasts, Huo Yuhao continued toward places where powerful auras gathered. After all, his target was a Ten Thousand Year Beast King.
After absorbing the Golden Hawksbill Turtle King's hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, his cultivation had passed level fifty. He therefore decided to keep adding Soul Rings to his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul to push his Soul Power Level higher.
He would descend upon the Star Luo Empire with invincible might, reclaim his mother's remains in the most glorious fashion, and repay kindness and settle grudges with unrestrained satisfaction.
In his view, that was the advantage of twin martial souls. He truly could not understand that theory from the "Grand Fraud" in the original story: the higher your cultivation when you added Soul Rings, the stronger they would be? In his previous life, Tang San had listened to the Grand Fraud and waited until he became a Titled Douluo before adding Soul Rings to his Clear Sky Hammer. Without a Deity's inheritance, Tang San would definitely have been ruined.
A genius with twin martial souls would certainly be under twenty upon reaching Soul King, and some geniuses could even manage it at fifteen or sixteen. At that age, a Soul Master's meridians had not yet fully formed. They were highly adaptable, with enormous room for improvement. On top of that, the younger a Soul Master was, the faster they cultivated.
He believed that this was precisely when one should do everything possible to obtain Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and break through cultivation realms, creating a virtuous cycle: accumulating and condensing one's Soul Power while obtaining Soul Rings and absorbing pure Soul Beast energy, thereby rapidly breaking through.
As for that laughable talk about the body's limits, it did not seem to apply to the protagonists in the original story anyway. Anyone who believed it was a fool.
That was even more true for Huo Yuhao. He did not even care whether his Soul Power was unstable. All he wanted was to stack up his levels, add more Soul Rings to the Divine Sense Orb, and rapidly raise his Psychic Power level. Once he broke through to Titled Douluo, he would no longer be the one afraid of Tang San. Tang San would be the one who ought to fear him.
If Tang San was blind enough to provoke him, Huo Yuhao would hunt him to the azure heavens above and the yellow springs below, ensuring he died without a place to be buried.
Hehe, feel free to point out typos and offer suggestions. I'll fix them right away. After all, I've only been writing this book for a little over ten days. As a new author, I lack experience, so I need everyone's guidance to improve.
