Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 24 "People, Knife Likes".

Yu Hongzhi's completely carbonized body was still burning with Amaterasu Black Flame.

The divine fire from hell greedily devoured every inch of its target's matter.

The carbonized body also slowly sublimated at extremely high temperatures.

Only that strange sword, with its bizarre blade and colorful hilt, kept all of Amaterasu's black flames at bay.

"No, it's not isolation!"

As Huo Yuhao approached, he suddenly realized that all the Amaterasu Black Flames that were near the sword had been silently wiped out.

"But Amaterasu Black Flame isn't matter, it's energy!"

"Can this knife even erase energy?!"

"That person is already dead, so why is this knife still here?"

Huo Yuhao secretly rejoiced; if he hadn't used his cheat code so powerfully, he would have really messed up this time.

Next time I encounter this situation, I'll definitely start with Amaterasu and then use Tsukuyomi to control it.

He questioned Sasuke, mocked Sasuke, understood Sasuke, and finally joined Sasuke.

Amaterasu is really useful. With this ability in my hands, I finally managed to kill someone and get some credit. I'm no longer just an assister.

However, he had never heard of a knife capable of obliterating matter and energy before.

I had never seen a similar theory in my previous life; it was a completely unknown field.

“Dream…”

After the exchange, he also discovered that the enemy's martial spirit and dream were strongly connected.

The power of dreams is one of one's three powers.

He clearly understood how to improve his control over both the powers of "understanding" and "daydreaming".

Discover new knowledge and win new items through prize draws.

However, he had absolutely no clue how to weave a dream kingdom, as required by the authority of the [Dream] realm.

So far, the only place in the Land of Roots has been able to connect my Kaleidoscope of Spirit Eyes with dreams.

Huo Yuhao dared not use this ability lightly, as it was a life-saving skill that consumed a great deal of energy.

Over time, Huo Yuhao learned very little about the authority over the [Dream Realm].

The knife is clearly connected to dreams and is very likely the key to unlocking the power of dreams.

Back to the present, Huo Yuhao had already approached the charred charcoal that was still burning with flames.

"Add earth life!"

The sword-shaped pattern in Huo Yuhao's eyes began to rotate.

The inextinguishable black flames of Amaterasu began to dissipate.

A pile of black ash was exposed, and the air was filled with the smell of coke. The knife stood right next to the black ash.

Moreover, it is dissolving the ground at a visible speed and slowly falling.

"Dude, don't tell me this thing, if left unattended, might pierce straight to the Earth's core?"

Huo Yuhao was a little anxious. He didn't dare to pick up the knife directly, in case it got dirty. He could only hope that the Root Country could fight against the dream transformation.

Judging from the fact that even the Soul Emperor couldn't withstand this blade.

It's estimated that soul power is simply no match for the terrifying power of this sword.

Huo Yuhao was unwilling to give up the key that was so close at hand. If he missed this opportunity, the only way for him to regain access to the power of dreams would be to hunt down soul beasts with the relevant characteristics in the future.

"Mental strength is useless."

First, try using your strongest skill, mental power, to see if you can communicate with this knife.

It's obvious this thing isn't a Zanpakuto; communication is useless.

Mental energy is erased upon approach; the entire blade is a black hole of perception.

"Soul power?"

Secondly, his pitifully small amount of soul power meant that, unsurprisingly, it was shattered by the knife before he could even get close.

"Hey, you're pretty arrogant."

"Quickly let Brother Huo check if his development is normal."

The knife maintained its cold refusal, slowly sinking into the ground.

The colorful ribbons of light that intertwined and danced on the hilt of the knife carried a hint of mockery in the air.

Huo Yuhao was now at a loss; it seemed he truly had nothing that could counter this blade.

With most of the blade already embedded in the ground, Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered that he still had another type of energy he could use.

That is the entropy force generated after reversing soul power.

The disordered, chaotic, and uncontrollable entropy seems to share some symbolic meaning with this knife. Dreams are always disordered; they are life's unrestrained imagination of the world.

It is a mixture of all sorts of bizarre and wonderful things.

Chaos and difficulty in control are also characteristics of dreams.

Thinking about this, Huo Yuhao felt it was worth a try. Anyway, he had no other options. Since he had come all this way, he couldn't go back empty-handed.

"Reversal Spell, activate!"

His right hand began to be wrapped with dense blue runes, mysterious and noble.

Then the sparse soul power within the body began to reverse, turning order into disorder.

A gray-black entropy force appeared in Huo Yuhao's right hand, which he barely managed to control with a great deal of mental energy.

As soon as this entropy force appeared, the surrounding air began to be torn apart, producing a piercing sound. All the blue silver grass around bowed their bodies, as if they had seen their natural enemy.

Unknown bat-like spirit beasts in the sky rampaged through the night, and all life instinctively moved away from this mass of energy.

It's like a student deliberately keeping their distance from their homeroom teacher when they see them on the street.

Huo Yuhao's face was pale. He covered his right hand with entropy power and used his mental energy to create a barrier around his body to prevent it from touching his body.

Then he stretched out his right hand and carefully approached the hilt of the knife, which was made up of interwoven colored light stripes.

Once the knife showed no reaction, he immediately withdrew and never touched it again.

When the right hand is only one finger's width away from the handle.

The sword, which had been aloof and exuded a terrifying aura, suddenly trembled violently.

Even though it was just a lifeless knife, Huo Yuhao felt a strong longing emanating from it, like a traveler in the desert finding a spring of sweet water.

As if it had eyes, seeing that Huo Yuhao still didn't touch it, it got a little anxious and took the initiative to tilt the hilt of the knife and touch the right hand covered with entropy force.

Huo Yuhao was startled and tried to withdraw his right hand, but found that his hand seemed to be stuck to the knife.

It can't be taken back.

Then the entropy force in my hand was quickly absorbed by the hilt of the knife, and the blade of the knife began to emit a colorful halo.

"Oh no, the entropy force is not enough."

Huo Yuhao, who didn't have much soul power to begin with, naturally couldn't convert much entropy power.

As the entropy force in his hand decreased, the hilt of the knife slowly approached his hand.

Huo Yuhao was a little flustered.

Fortunately, this knife seemed to have a real sense of self, and after noticing that Huo Yuhao's soul power was exhausted, it took the initiative to stop absorbing entropy.

After the suction on his hand disappeared, he quickly withdrew his right hand and gasped for breath.

The knife in front of me began to emit a colorful halo and then changed.

The colored light bands that make up the handle of the knife slowly contract and compress until they burst into white light.

The white light also revealed surging, colorful waves, layer upon layer, a strange phenomenon that could only appear in a dream.

Moreover, the terrifying aura of wiping out everything was no longer present on the hilt.

Huo Yuhao sensed that the knife was actually conveying an intimate emotion to him.

I want him to take the knife handle voluntarily.

After a slight hesitation, he stepped forward, grasped the hilt, and pulled the knife from the ground.

"It really worked!"

The knife didn't actually eliminate Huo Yuhao; instead, it actively conveyed some information to him.

"Gray, delicious."

"People, knives like."

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched as he said:
"Wow, you actually have self-awareness."

"Force them to submit."

However, Huo Yuhao discovered another problem: the knife was too conspicuous, attracting a lot of attention wherever he went.

"That, the knife?"

"Could it be a little darker? It's a bit too flashy."

The knife initially conveyed a sense of doubt, but then, as if it had come to understand, it began to dissolve into bubbles.

The foam seeped into his right hand little by little until a colorful knife-shaped tattoo appeared on the back of his right hand.

"The person is healed."

Huo Yuhao glanced at his right hand and could feel that he could summon the sword at any time.

"Now I can't take the civil service exam."
