Douluo Jueshi: I can only explode the ring, all I can do is operate.

Chapter 64 Love you mom, see you tomorrow
There is nothing much to say about what happened after that. Huo Yuhao was included in the candidate list for core disciples because of his martial soul fusion skill.

But compared to the original novel, he has grown more and doesn't take it too seriously. Anyway, he can't stay in Shrek for too long.

Ning Wuque could see that he was quite reluctant to part with Wang Dong. It seemed that after knowing in advance that the other party was a girl, the bond between this boy and Wang Dong became even deeper.

"Brother Wuque, I'm really sorry to bother you so late, but I have something I'm unsure about and want to ask you."

The night after the competition, Ning Wuque was exercising on the academy's playground when he saw Huo Yuhao walking towards him, looking a little embarrassed.

He stopped exercising with a smile, stretched his muscles, and replied:
"It's okay. The seven-day holiday for freshmen is coming up soon. What's the matter? Do you feel like you don't have any plans these days and want to consult me?"

He made a little joke because he knew what was going to happen next.

The seven-day holiday is a privilege for freshmen at Shrek Academy. It is a period of adjustment during the gap after each freshman assessment. After that, students who can still stay in the academy will attend classes as formal students.

Apart from this, Shrek’s only holiday is the annual enrollment period, during which time there will be a unified month-long vacation.

Across from him, Huo Yuhao raised his hands and shook his head, saying quickly:
"No, no, I was planning to sell more barbecue snacks this holiday, but..."

Slowly, Huo Yuhao told Ning Wuque what happened to him this afternoon, which was the plot in the original novel where he went to the Soul Guidance Department to accept the status of a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department.

It was only because of Ning Wuque's change that Huo Yuhao realized that he probably would not belong to Shrek, so he hesitated when faced with Fan Yu's offer to accept him as his disciple.

After finding an excuse, he found Ning Wuque that night and wanted to consult him whether he wanted to have a deep binding with Shrek.

"I see. What are your thoughts, Yuhao?"

"Me? If it's me..."

Huo Yuhao said this with some hesitation on his face. To be honest, he actually liked his current life very much, but he always remembered the two hatreds in his heart.

One is the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and the other is the fiery senior sister who is now his clear target.

Now there are only two choices before him:

Revenge, or a life of comfort and contentment?

"I don't know, Brother Wuque, I don't know. Would you like to hear my story?"

Looking up, Huo Yuhao's eyes were full of confusion. He didn't have the courage to refuse either of these two choices. He wanted to avenge his mother, but at the same time he was reluctant to give up his precious life.

In response, Ning Wuque nodded calmly, took Huo Yuhao's arm and sat on the Soul-Nourishing Jade together.

He knew, but at this moment he was just a listener.

"Brother Wuque, I..."

After finishing his story, Huo Yuhao was already in tears. The process of actively revealing the scars in his heart was not pleasant.

Even Ning Wuque, who had known about Huo Yuhao's experiences for a long time, was inevitably affected by the atmosphere after hearing the story with his own ears. However, he remained rational and was not swayed by the grief and indignation: "Yuhao, if it were up to me to choose, I would choose to take revenge. Nothing is more painful than hurting a mother who loves me again, and nothing is more joyful than the satisfaction my family shows me."

But this is just my personal opinion. In my heart, this sentence is the truth. No one's life should be confined to hatred and imprisonment. If you can't make a choice, you might as well think about the warmth you once had."

Ning Wuque said this, returning the power of choice to Huo Yuhao. He did not say that it was wrong for the other party to choose comfort, nor did he agree that revenge was a virtue.

Life is a world of countless choices, but the power of choice is always in the hands of the individual. Just as he did not choose comfort, he actually has more than one way to live the rest of his life in peace.

Whether it was letting Zhang Can take him into seclusion or doing business in the Sun and Moon Empire, many paths were open to him.

But he chose the most difficult one and took action for it!
Rather than imposing a clear direction on Huo Yuhao, Ning Wuque would rather guide him to fight for his own life. He can give Huo Yuhao a clear direction, but he cannot deprive him of the power to choose as a human being.

It's very nagging, but this is exactly how Ning Wuque behaves.

Beside him, Huo Yuhao fell silent, and his mind began to recall his past. Although life was hard, he felt satisfied and happy every day when he was with his mother. His mother's love seemed to be always by his side, warming his body and supporting his will.

Gradually, Huo Yuhao's eyes became firm. He said nothing, but simply thanked Ning Wuque:

"Thank you, Brother Wuque. I think I know what I should do."

"Yuhao, comfort is the most cowardly and beautiful kindness, and revenge is the simplest and most direct hatred. I will not support any of your actions, and similarly, I will not oppose any of your actions."

Finally, when Huo Yuhao stood up, Ning Wuque added:

"Overcoming courage and gaining enlightenment are both extremely difficult things, but those with courage are always cheerful, and those who are enlightened are always happy. The only thing I can do is to wish you a life that brings you cheerfulness and happiness, and to listen to you describe your choices and experiences as a listener."

"Brother Wuque, I cannot express my gratitude enough for your kindness. I will do my best to ensure that your blessings are not in vain and your help is in vain. I will prove that I am no worse than anyone else!"

At this moment, Huo Yuhao had the courage and awareness.

He understood what he truly wanted: a simple and direct revenge! A revenge for his mother and his own weakness that would put a perfect end to it!
He wanted to make that damn bastard Dai Hao regret offending his mother and regret having him... a "son"!
After this, perhaps he could really live a cheerful and happy life as Brother Wuque said.

This would be unfair to many people, including his friendship with Wang Dong, Teacher Fan Yu's expectations, Zhou Yi's help, etc. These are not all he has to be sorry about.

But there is one thing he will never do: he will never let down the person who once gave him warmth...his mother!
If possible, he really wanted to say one more thing:
"Good morning, Mom."

Huo Yuhao left, with the resolution to completely suppress revenge in his heart and the courage to tear apart his memories.

At the same time, Ning Wuque, who was about to get up and continue exercising, heard a familiar voice in his heart.

[Alas...enlightenment, and courage? You're so right, child, so right. My memory is fuzzy, but I'm still moved by these two sentences you said.]

[Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Alex, a...remaining soul wandering in a foreign land.]

　Tang San: Huo Yuhao, your mother's soul is in my hands now.

　　Huo Yuhao: What happened to my mother?
　　That year, having just achieved divine status, Huo Yuhao had his first free-style combat in the divine realm...
