Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

at the same time.

Shrek Academy, Department of Soul Guidance.

Fine beads of sweat glistened on Huo Yuhao's forehead as he stared intently at the palm-sized silver metal core in his hand.

He held a slender carving knife between the fingertips of his right hand. The tip of the knife shimmered with a faint light of soul power and moved across the metal surface with an extremely steady rhythm, leaving behind complex and precise soul guidance patterns.

Although Huo Yuhao left the Martial Soul Department, he became a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department and enjoyed the highest level of nutrition.

This also allowed Huo Yuhao to grow very quickly, and his cultivation level has reached a terrifying level 24.

Moreover, he has already become a Level 2.5 Soul Master, and can already inscribe Level 3 Soul Tools. However, due to insufficient cultivation, he has not yet been recognized by the Soul Tool Association.

However, just as the last few key nodes were about to connect, Huo Yuhao's heart suddenly clenched, as if it had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

A sudden, inexplicable feeling of palpitation and sadness welled up inside me.

The emotion was so intense that his highly focused mental energy instantly dissipated.

A small hand trembled.

"Crack!"

A crisp, piercing cracking sound rang out.

Huo Yuhao froze on the spot, and the soul core in his hand was destroyed on the spot.

"Uh...ahem..."

"what happened……"

Huo Yuhao looked confused, because he had never felt this way before.

However, this feeling came quickly and went quickly, soon disappearing, leaving only a faint sadness and a trace of unease.

"I'm probably too tired... I should rest for an hour..."

Huo Yuhao thought to himself, deciding to give himself a one-hour break.

He worked even harder in his cultivation of the Soul Guidance System, resting only for two hours each day.

He may not have great talent in martial spirit, but he is very strong in the soul guidance system.

As long as a powerful soul tool can be created, revenge can still be taken!
He wanted to defeat Duke White Tiger honorably, then personally capture him and bring him to his mother's grave, making him kneel down and apologize!
……

Huo Yuhao left the laboratory and arrived at the central hall of the Soul Guidance System—the "Myriad Phenomena Information Hub".

To be precise, it's a giant screen where you can view the news.

This is one of the core application areas of the Soul Guidance Device "Omnidirectional Communication Instrument".

In the center of the enormous circular hall stands a huge hemispherical soul guidance screen with a diameter of over twenty meters, which is precisely pieced together from countless smaller soul guidance screens.

The walls around the corners were also huge soul guide screens, displaying real-time information streams from various parts of Douluo Continent in different areas.

However, currently only text can be displayed; images cannot be shown.

Even so, it still caused a huge sensation, with a large number of students coming here every day to check the news.

They stood or sat, looking up at the scrolling information on the screen, whispering among themselves.

However, the news displayed on the screen was very rough.

If you want to see the details, you can search for them yourself.

Since the completion of the "Universal Communication System" and its information network, the efficiency of information transmission across the entire continent has undergone tremendous changes, increasing by at least ten thousand times.

Messages that used to take months to arrive can now be delivered in just a few minutes or even seconds.

The college has established a dedicated information analysis and processing department, which is responsible for screening and integrating the massive amounts of information transmitted from communication nodes across the mainland.

Important intelligence will reach high-level officials such as Xianlin'er directly, while ordinary news, mainland developments, and anecdotes from the Soul Master world, after being filtered, will be presented here in real time for students to read and learn from, broadening their horizons.

The Martial Soul System also has a similar information center, but its scale and content focus are slightly different.

Huo Yuhao found a spot near the edge of the circular main screen and stood there.

The hall was quite crowded, but very quiet, with only the students' hushed conversations.

Huo Yuhao was also quite interested in these things, and in his spare time he would come here to take a look and learn about the outside world.

A small-scale conflict broke out on the northern border of the Star Luo Empire, and the Heavenly Soul Empire's scout team was repelled...

[The Royal Soul Master Academy of the Sun Moon Empire announces a breakthrough in the development of its next-generation Soul-Guided Fighter...]

[Shrek City Merchant Guild Alliance releases latest rare metal trading index; Mithril price continues to rise...]

A remote village within the Heavenly Soul Empire has been attacked by suspected evil spirit masters; the Imperial Investigation Team has intervened…

Messages flashed by rapidly.

Huo Yuhao watched somewhat absentmindedly, the heavy feeling still weighing on his heart.

Suddenly, a news article in bold and highlighted text caught his eye.

News highlighted in red is usually quite important and can cause a sensation in mainland China.

[Breaking News! The Pillar of the Star Luo Empire Has Fallen! Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan Has Been Killed in an Attack! The White Tiger Clan's personal guard, the "White Tiger Imperial Guard," was ambushed by an unknown force on the outskirts of the Ming Dou Mountains and was almost completely wiped out!]

"Om-"

When Huo Yuhao saw this news, his mind went completely blank!
The whole world seemed to have been muted; all the sounds in the hall disappeared, leaving only the glaring text on the screen.

His breathing stopped abruptly, his heart clenching as if gripped by a giant, icy hand, a hundred times stronger than before. "Duke White Tiger... dead... dead... how could this be..."

Huo Yuhao's voice was dry and hoarse.

His biological father, the man he had hated for over a decade and swore to defeat with his own hands, had actually died just like that…

Who killed him?
how is this possible.

He's the Duke of the White Tiger!

He is the God of War of the Star Luo Empire!
How could... how could he have died so easily?

Although he hated Dai Hao.

All his efforts and all his motivation for cultivation stemmed from his hatred for Dai Hao and his desire for revenge.

But he never intended to kill Dai Hao.

But now, Dai Hao has inexplicably died...

The murderer who killed his mother died so mysteriously without ever apologizing...

Even Dai Hao was unaware of his mother's existence.

Not to mention the guilt he felt towards his mother.

Even if he cultivates to become the strongest on the continent, he will not be able to revive Dai Hao and make him kneel at his mother's grave to repent.

The motivation that sustained him in his cultivation vanished inexplicably...

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao felt a tightness in his chest.

For a fleeting moment, I even had suicidal thoughts.

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so sad!"

At this moment, the voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm came.

Clearly, Huo Yuhao's intense emotional fluctuations awakened the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Tianmeng, Duke Baihu is dead..."

Huo Yuhao said in a low voice.

"Ha! Good riddance! Yuhao, didn't you always hate him? Now that he's dead, you've got your revenge! Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm burst into laughter.

Huo Yuhao:......

"Yuhao, why aren't you smiling? Are you unhappy... haha... ha..."

As Tianmeng Ice Silkworm laughed, she noticed something was wrong; Huo Yuhao didn't seem so happy.

"I hate him, but I never thought of killing him. He will always be my father, my only family in this world!"

Huo Yuhao's mentality completely collapsed.

Tianmeng Iceworm:...

"Hey, hey, Yuhao, what's wrong? It was my fault just now, I said the wrong thing..."

Although Tianmeng Bingcan couldn't understand Huo Yuhao's thoughts, she quickly tried to comfort him.

He knew that Huo Yuhao's emotions were rather extreme.

Although they are usually very amiable.

But if provoked in certain ways, this guy is willing to risk his life.

He didn't want Huo Yuhao to do something reckless and ruin his only hope...

Although it's unlikely that Huo Yuhao will become a god right now, there's still a tiny chance.

He certainly wouldn't give up.

It took a long time to coax Huo Yuhao back to his senses.

However, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm discovered that Huo Yuhao's hard work had dissipated by more than half.

Although he continued to practice diligently.

But compared to before, it's still far from good.

This caused Huo Yuhao's cultivation progress to become increasingly slow...

Huo Yuhao's cultivation aptitude was among the worst.

Previously, Huo Yuhao had worked hard to cultivate, and with the dietary benefits of a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department, he was able to barely keep up with the ordinary students of Shrek Academy.

Now, Huo Yuhao has stopped trying.

The pace of progress was predictably slow, resulting in a sharp decline.

Fortunately, the Soul Guidance Department doesn't consider cultivation speed, so Huo Yuhao can barely make it to graduation here.

But it will likely be very difficult for him to get promoted in the future.

At most, I can only be a researcher...
