Chapter 301: The 9th Test of the Saint King, the Past is Like Clouds
Huo Yuhao looked at the Evil Eyed Saint King in front of him for a long time without saying a word. To be honest, Huo Yuhao was still a little resistant to the idea of inheriting the Evil Eyed Saint King’s power.
After all, he personally felt deeply repulsed by everything about the White Tiger family. However, it would not be a bad idea if he could use the power of the Evil Eye Saint King to destroy the White Tiger family, right?
Because from a certain perspective, Huo Yuhao, the child born to the maid who inherited the Evil Eye Saint King's legacy, is the legitimate heir to the White Tiger clan, while his half-brothers and his father are heretics.
Moreover, thinking back to his time in Shrek, there was no one who practiced Lianzhong there whose talent was worse than his, especially that bastard named Xu Xingyu. His cultivation talent had already made Huo Yuhao feel that there was an unreachable gap between the two of them, and he even wanted to give up chasing the other party.
Huo Yuhao has complained in his heart more than once that if he had the same talent as Xu Xingyu, he would have avenged his mother and become the strongest man on the continent. Why would he be so slow in training and not even have a girlfriend?
But he has to avenge Brother Tianmeng, and he also has to wash away the humiliation that the other party has brought upon him. So if he does not have enough strength to compete with the other party in the future, all these will ultimately be wishful thinking.
Therefore, even if it is a power that he hates from the bottom of his heart, if he can use it to achieve his own goals, then he, Huo Yuhao, will not refuse. What's more, power is something that has no good or bad distinction. What matters is how it is used.
Moreover, according to the legend, the power of the Evil Eye Saint King is god-level power, just like Tang San's ancestor ten thousand years ago. Isn't this kind of divine test that is directly passed down to people much simpler than repairing the Rakshasa throne?
Therefore, Huo Yuhao had only one answer to the Evil Eye Saint King's question: "I do."
The Evil Eyed Saint King was not surprised by this. After all, he had been observing Huo Yuhao for quite some time. This little brat Su looked like an honest child, but his thoughts were extremely extreme. Especially his desire for power had long exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
For example, although Huo Yuhao seemed to be tricked by those guys from the Holy Spirit Church into becoming an evil soul master, and they said that the power of evil soul masters was not evil or anything, Huo Yuhao actually knew it all in his heart.
Although many evil soul masters may have become evil soul masters due to oppression from society, this does not mean that their behavior of devouring innocent people to assist in their own cultivation for the sake of their own revenge is correct.
But Huo Yuhao needed a reason to convince himself. Only in this way could he feel at ease using this method to strengthen his cultivation. Only he could persuade his conscience to do such a unscrupulous thing.
Of course, this does not mean that the Evil Eye Saint King rejects Huo Yuhao from becoming an evil soul master. After all, in his opinion, human society is too artificial. As a worshiper of the Beast God, he believes in the law of the forest where strength is supreme. As long as one is strong enough, he can get everything.
This is why the Evil Eye Saint King chose Huo Yuhao. In addition to his own opportunities and talents, his thirst for power is just like his past self.
Thinking back to when he was competing with the White Tiger God for the White Tiger God position, he was filled with resentment in his heart just like Huo Yuhao, and he swore in his heart that he would defeat the White Tiger God at all costs!
Thinking of this, the Evil Eye Saint King chuckled and said, "If that's the case, let's get started."
"start?"
Before Huo Yuhao could think about it, a golden mark of the word "王" appeared between his eyebrows. A huge amount of information also flowed into Huo Yuhao's mind. Among them, four big letters appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind.
The Nine Tests of the Holy King!
Seeing this, the Evil Eye Saint King stood up and shouted, "Since you have chosen to inherit my power, let the test begin!"
"Wait? That fast?"
The scenery around Huo Yuhao began to change, and at some point Huo Yuhao lost his footing, causing him to fall in the air. Then, after an unknown amount of time, he arrived in a new space.
After arriving at the new space, Huo Yuhao began to look around the surrounding environment, and what surprised him was that this was actually his former home, the Duke of White Tiger Mansion!
At this moment, the voice of the Holy King emerged in Huo Yuhao’s mind. The first of the nine tests of the Holy King: There are two people here that you must find. After finding them, you must kill one of them in order to pass the test.
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, “Who do you want to kill? Can’t you just tell me? And with my strength, killing someone in the Duke’s Mansion is like seeking death, isn’t it?”
But soon Huo Yuhao stopped complaining because he saw a figure that could not possibly exist here, that was his mother, Huo Yuner.
He saw his mother washing clothes just like when he was a child. Her beautiful yet tired look made tears well up in Huo Yuhao's eyes. However, before Huo Yuhao could go forward, a young thought interrupted his train of thought.
"Mother!!!!"
I saw a little boy with blue hair and blue eyes rushing towards Huo Yuner with a happy face, and hugged her.
Seeing this, Huo Yun'er smiled slightly and said, "Okay, okay, Xiao Yuhao is so old, but he is still so clingy."
To this young Huo Yuhao responded: "So what? Mom is mom. No matter how old Yuhao is, mom is my mom."
At this time, Huo Yuhao saw Huo Yun'er washing clothes, and patted his chest and said, "Mom, you must be very tired! Leave the remaining set to me! You just go and have a good rest!"
Huo Yun'er looked at her son who was so confident and showed an expression that her son had finally grown up. She said, "Okay, okay, I'll leave it to you then."
Upon hearing this, the young Huo Yuhao also took the clothes from Huo Yun'er with a smile on his face. However, the real Huo Yuhao, who was watching from the side, shouted, “Stop it!”
At this moment, he didn’t care whether this was an illusion or not, but the scene before his eyes was something he would never forget in his life!!!
This was the day that caused his mother to be seriously injured and triggered her illness, which eventually led to her death! ! ! ! ! !
How could Huo Yuhao, who saw this scene again, just sit there and wait for death? He came to the location of the mother and son at an extremely fast speed, but just when he was about to grab them, his hands grabbed nothing.
He could only watch helplessly as the tragedy of the past happened again before his eyes.
When he was carrying some laundry and preparing to wash it, he accidentally knocked down a blond boy who was about the same age as him.
When the blond boy saw that a servant dared to do such a rude thing to him, the son of the White Tiger Duke, he immediately ordered his subordinates to give him a beating that he would never forget.
Upon seeing this, Huo Yun'er quickly stepped forward to apologize to the blond boy and begged for forgiveness. In response, the blond boy just glanced at Huo Yun'er and left.
Upon seeing this, the subordinates began to teach the young Huo Yuhao a lesson even more harshly. Therefore, in order to protect her son, Huo Yun'er had to use herself as a shield and take some of the beating for Huo Yuhao.
After the blond boy's subordinates had vented their anger, the young Huo Yuhao looked at his mother and began to cry sadly.
Gu Shu’s memories after that were exactly the same as Huo Yuhao’s. His mother was severely injured due to the beating, which made Huo Yun’er, who was already weak due to her illness, even weaker.
In the end, after a period of time, Huo Yun'er died in the sound of Huo Yuhao's crying because she did not receive the necessary treatment in time.
At this time, the young Huo Yuhao cried out to the heavens: “Why! Why! God, why did you take my mother away!!!”
At this moment, a deep voice rang in the ears of young Huo Yuhao: "Because neither you nor mom is strong enough. Because we are too weak, we are always bullied by those so-called strong people. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, only the strong can control their own destiny."
The person who spoke was the one who had been watching the grown-up Huo Yuhao. For some reason, he was now able to intervene in this illusion and spoke to the young Huo Yuhao.
The young Huo Yuhao looked at this familiar big brother with a confused look on his face, not knowing what to do. However, Huo Yuhao ignored his young self and continued, “Perhaps you will think this is very unfair, but we were not born in a fair world. Everyone’s origin is determined at birth. The rich are born into rich families, and the poor are born into poor families. If you want to turn your life around, you have to work many times harder than ordinary people, and have talents that the upper class do not have.”
"You and I are both unfortunate because we were born into poor families. You can complain and blame God for being unfair, but it's useless. If you don't want the scene before you to happen again, you can only become a powerful person who is unrivaled in the world to truly decide your own destiny."
After saying this, Huo Yuhao knelt down towards the yellow earth tombstone that Huo Yuhao had just made for Huo Yuner when he was a child and said, “Thank you, Mom. I will never forget you.”
At this moment, the voice from the Saint King appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind again: "The first person has been found, please find the next one."
The surrounding scene changed again. This time, Huo Yuhao actually returned to the time period of the Continental Soul Master Competition held in Xingluo City!
Moreover, looking at himself on the ring, Huo Yuhao knew that he had reached that period, which was the most embarrassing period for him.
It was the match between Shrek Academy and Zhengtian Academy.
At this time in this incident, Huo Yuhao was fighting against two players from Zhengtian College together with Xu Sanshi. One of them was Yu Mengdi, whom Huo Yuhao had enjoyed greatly in real life.
It was exactly the same as what happened in Huo Yuhao’s memory. Because of the Rakshasa helmet’s induction on the angel clan, the Rakshasa power in Huo Yuhao’s body began to run wild, and finally began to launch indiscriminate attacks.
This was why Xu Sanshi had to join forces with the people from Zhengtian Academy to drive Huo Yuhao off the stage, which also led to Shrek Academy losing the game.
Although Huo Yuhao was not scolded by his teammates after waking up after the game, he could still see that each team member disliked him, as if they were saying that it would be better if Huo Yuhao was not their teammate. After all, who would like such a stupid teammate who would turn against them?
Fortunately, there was one person who held a different opinion, and that person was Ling Luochen, one of the regular team members.
Initially, Ling Luochen had a good relationship with Huo Yuhao because Huo Yuhao possessed the Ultimate Ice, which helped Ling Luochen cultivate high-level abilities of Shimane, causing the other party to take the initiative to fund Huo Yuhao and become friends.
As for Xu Yanxue, who also possessed the ultimate ice, she was not approached by Ling Luochen. It might be mainly because both of them had cold and arrogant personalities, which led to the repulsion between the same sex and they disliked each other.
Although Huo Yuhao understood that the other party's original purpose in approaching him was to use his hand to raise her ice attribute to the extreme level, and that she vaguely wanted to use him as a substitute for her deceased brother, for Huo Yuhao who had been abandoned by Beibei and others, this kindness had already made him very satisfied.
Especially after he awakened his evil attributes, Ling Luochen did not abandon Huo Yuhao like other people in Shrek Academy and teachers did, and advocated to execute this evil soul master seedling. Instead, he chose to protect himself and was not executed by those bastards in Shrek Academy right away.
These behaviors made Huo Yuhao truly regard the other party as his sister. It can be said that in Huo Yuhao's heart, Ling Luochen's position is only second to his mother.
The next scenes that appeared before him were all the moments spent between him and Ling Luochen. It could be said to be a very heartwarming scene.
But this also made Huo Yuhao wonder why the Evil Eye Saint King wanted to show this to him again? Huo Yuhao could understand that he wanted to overcome the king's weakness when he showed his father's past, but what did he think of showing his time with Ling Luochen now?
After all, in his memory, there were no sad or weak moments in the time he and Ling Luochen had spent together, right?
However, when the scene turned to the time when Huo Yuhao went berserk, he finally understood the Saint King's thoughts.
Huo Yuhao, who had completely fallen into a rampage state, began to kill people in the dungeon of the Holy Spirit Church. The number of people who died in his hands had already exceeded double digits.
When Ling Luochen saw Huo Yuhao starting to attack Shrek Academy, he also shouted hurriedly: "Yuhao, stop it!!!"
However, Huo Yuhao, who had already gone berserk, ignored Ling Luochen's shouts and instead put all his efforts into his own killing spree.
And when Ling Luochen saw that he didn't know how many Shrek people were in his hands, he slowly changed from persuading at the beginning, and then began to loudly insult Huo Yuhao, saying that Huo Yuhao was a jinx and that he should not have approached Huo Yuhao in the first place, and other hurtful remarks.
The real Huo Yuhao was also stunned when he saw this, and after careful recollection, it seemed as if it had really happened. At this moment, for some reason, a crack began to appear in Huo Yuhao's trust in Ling Luochen.
The Holy King's voice sounded again: "The second person has been found. Now it's time to make a choice."
