Douluo Dalu: Ice Demon Yuhao

“That’s really interesting, Master Xuan. What did Shrek do to train me?” Huo Yuhao said coldly, “I found my spirit rings myself, bought all my resources myself, and I’ve paid my annual tuition. If it’s an equal exchange, Shrek doesn’t seem to be at a disadvantage, right?”
Xuan Lao said: “Humph, you are a dual core disciple of the academy, enjoying so many preferential treatments. You can come and go as you please. How can it be so easy?”
“You and Wang Dong have consumed so much energy, so you don’t need to participate in the next game. Leave it to others.”
After saying this, he released his pressure, but the implication of his words naturally did not mean letting Huo Yuhao leave.
Huo Yuhao had a gloomy expression.
He wanted to leave in stealth, but it was still difficult to get away from under Master Xuan’s nose.
Wang Dong, who was standing by, grabbed his hand and walked to the corner of the lounge.
“Master Xuan, Teacher Wang, Yuhao is just a little excited. I’ll go and try to persuade him.”
Elder Xuan whispered, “Huo Yuhao, the academy did not handle some things properly. If there is anything, let’s talk about it after the competition is over.”
Huo Yuhao didn’t say anything, but with a gloomy face, he walked to the corner with Wang Dong.
Wang Dong gently advised: “Yuhao, don’t take it to heart, the academy…”
Huo Yuhao interrupted her coldly: “Do you also think Shrek Academy is right?”
“I…” Wang Dong lowered her head. She wanted to refute Huo Yuhao, but she didn’t know how to start.
On the competition stage, Ma Xiaotao and Ma Rulong were fighting fiercely.
Ma Rulong did not use the long-range soul guide he had used in previous competitions, but instead held a huge golden sword in both hands, with a strong golden light emanating from the sword.
“Awaken, Sword of Judgment!”
Ma Rulong shouted loudly and injected his own soul power into the giant sword.
The golden light converged, and the giant sword gradually changed into two colors, black on one side and white on the other.
He held the sword with both hands and pointed the black side of the giant sword towards Ma Xiaotao.
The phoenix flame on Ma Xiaotao’s body turned black in an instant, and a dark, cold aura spread throughout her body, and the evil energy in her body began to riot.
Ma Rulong turned the giant sword over again, pointing the white side at Ma Xiaotao, and the strong breath of light oppressed Ma Xiaotao’s body.
Extreme pain filled Ma Xiaotao’s body. She finally couldn’t bear it anymore. The original evil fire phoenix turned into a dark phoenix full of destructive and destructive thoughts.
A dark phoenix figure appeared behind her, emitting an aura of despair and madness.
“Oh no, Xiaotao has mutated.”
Old Xuan suddenly rushed out and fell onto the competition stage. The others also checked the situation on the competition stage with concern. No one paid attention to Huo Yuhao anymore.
He looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was turning evil, indifferently, with no mercy in his eyes.
“I’m leaving now. Let Brother Caitou pass this on to Teacher Fanyu. It should be enough metal money for me.”
Huo Yuhao handed Wang Dong a card, and the space around him floated.
Wang Dong grabbed his hand and whispered, “Yuhao, please don’t leave, okay?”
“You…didn’t you promise me a request?”
Huo Yuhao was silent for a while, and his figure disappeared.
“Different road non-phase plan.”
Chapter 149 I Just Look Down on You
Huo Yuhao no longer cared about the outcome of the final of the Soul Fighting Competition.
In fact, he was already somewhat dissatisfied with the performance of other Shrek players during the round-robin and knockout rounds.
In his opinion, the fighting spirit competition should be held with a spirit of participation. It is certainly okay to pursue a better ranking, but Shrek’s pursuit of the so-called championship seems a bit… sick.
However, he did not say anything, nor did he play passively. On the contrary, he helped Shrek Academy win almost all the games and advance to the finals.
The straw that really broke the camel’s back was that Ma Xiaotao killed someone in the final, which he couldn’t understand.
Perhaps if anyone else had accidentally killed someone, he would not have been so angry, but it was Ma Xiaotao.
In an instant, Huo Yuhao felt that his forgiveness and tolerance towards her, and his help in suppressing her evil fire without holding a grudge, had all become a joke.
“Whatever you want.”
Be it glory or shame, it has nothing to do with him at this moment.
Lost children long to find a haven where they can confide their feelings.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, it was a familiar weather. Huo Yuhao left the Xingluo city area and came to a hill outside the White Tiger Duke’s Mansion, in front of a familiar tomb.
It was his mother, Huo Yuner’s.
He stood there silently for a long time.
Tianmeng and Bingdi emerged from the sea of spirits and stood on either side of him.
Bingdi asked, “Why don’t you finish watching the game?”
“What’s so good about it? Once someone dies, both sides will kill each other. The next game will definitely be more brutal than the previous one. Who knows how many more people will die?”
Huo Yuhao asked calmly: “Why did you come out?”
“I haven’t come out for some fresh air in a while. And it’s even darker inside than outside today. I don’t want to stay inside.”
Bingdi looked at the grave in front of him and asked, “Who is this?”
Tian Meng said first: “Bingbing, please be polite. This is Yuhao’s mother.”
She had read Huo Yuhao’s memories and knew who was buried here.
Huo Yuhao nodded and admitted it.
“Mother…it’s such an outdated term that I have even forgotten what kind of existence it is.” Bingdi’s expression remained cold.
Tian Meng asked, “I don’t seem to have a mother either… Yuhao, what kind of person is your mother?”
“Hardworking, kind, loving, strong…” Huo Yuhao said calmly, “But also has a kind of ignorance that I cannot understand.”
“She is just an ordinary, fragile person. A simple cold could end her life.”
The three of them were silent for a while, and Tian Meng asked, “Yuhao, are you really going to leave Shrek Academy?”
Huo Yuhao said: “Do you think I still want to stay there? I went there casually, and I don’t feel sorry for leaving.”
Tian Meng asked again: “So are you going to stay in Xing Luo Empire? Or go to the Benti Sect?”
Huo Yuhao said: “I don’t know. Anyway, let’s contact all parties first and see how it goes.”
Tian Meng asked in confusion: “Yuhao, aren’t you from the Xingluo Empire? Why don’t you want to stay here?”
Huo Yuhao glanced at her and asked, “Do you think I like the Xing Luo Empire?”
Tian Meng was puzzled: “Isn’t it? After all, this is your hometown.”
Huo Yuhao said calmly: “I don’t feel a sense of belonging to this world. Whether it is Shrek, the Xingluo Empire, or anywhere else, they can all be my place. If I don’t like it, I can leave at any time.”
Tian Meng asked: “Why? I see you have planned the future direction of the Xing Luo Empire, haven’t you?”
Huo Yuhao said: “It’s not because I like this place, but because I promised someone that I would help her build the Xingluo Empire. However, this time I promised her not to kill anyone in the finals, but I didn’t do it.”
“Oh……”
Bingdi continued, “Humph, I have long been dissatisfied with this Shrek Academy. They don’t give any benefits, but they still make so many demands. Just leave.”
“With this emperor and this idiot here, with your talent, you don’t need to rely on anyone.”
“Well, thank you.” Huo Yuhao smiled.
Bingdi added: “But aren’t you afraid of talking back to that old guy today?”
“What should I be afraid of?” Yu Hao asked back.
“Aren’t you afraid that he might suddenly get mad and slap you to death?”
“I’ll die if I want to. Do you think I want to live?” Huo Yuhao said coldly, “If there weren’t a few people who care about me, I really don’t want to stay in this world any longer.”
“I’m so tired of living in this world.”
“I’m just afraid he doesn’t have the guts to kill me.”
Tian Meng and Bing Di were both stunned to hear him suddenly make such negative remarks.
Tian Meng said in horror: “Yuhao, you…you don’t scare me…”
Bingdi was silent for a while, then asked, “From your tone, it seems that you look down on that old guy. Even if I were in my prime, I would not be his match.”
She looked at Huo Yuhao, who was keeping his head down and not saying anything, and asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time: “You have always looked down on everyone like this. Can you tell me why?”
Huo Yuhao raised his head, covered his face and sighed: “I look down on you, I look down on you.”
“I just look down on it.”
“I look down on everyone in this world. The stronger they are, the more I look down on them.”
“They are strong, but what have they done?”
The sound of the wind around suddenly became louder, and the grass and trees swayed continuously in the strong wind.
After a long while, Bingdi asked, “Why?”
Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, put a piece of ice into his mouth, and said in a calm tone: “Tian Meng, Bing Di, you have spent almost your entire lives in the Far North and have no idea about human history.”
“I don’t know the history of Douluo Continent, but I know the history of Xingluo Empire, which is at least more than 10,000 years. To you soul beasts, 10,000 years may seem very short, but to humans, it is a long enough time span to change the entire social structure.”
“If an ordinary person counts one generation as 20 years, there will be 500 generations in 10,000 years. If a soul master counts one generation as 50 years, there will be 200 generations in 10,000 years.”
“But with just a few hundred generations, in 10,000 years, society as a whole has made almost no progress and is still basically at the level of 10,000 years ago.”
“Can you imagine?”
Bingdi and Tianmeng were silent for a while, then said, “Isn’t this normal?”
“No, this is not normal at all.” Huo Yuhao shook his head. “Five thousand years, five thousand years is enough for a tribe to develop into a sufficiently advanced country. However, this continent stayed in the dynasty hegemony period for a full ten thousand years.”
“On this continent, apart from soul guidance technology, I can’t see any progress or development, only endless wars.”
Huo Yuhao’s calm tone was filled with disappointment.
Tianmeng and Bingdi fell silent again. To be honest, they did not understand what Huo Yuhao wanted to express.
