Douluo: The True Eye

Chapter 112: My Heart, Why?

At this moment, Huo Yuhao was naturally unaware of the subsequent changes in the Sunset Forest.

It was only when he was still training in the undead demiplane that Du Bu Si came to find him.

"Master," Huo Yuhao greeted Du Bu Si as usual.

"Yuhao, I remember you mentioned before that after absorbing the Mirage Dragon soul ring, the soul power in your body has reached a saturated state and it will take a lot of time to polish it, right?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao felt a little strange, but after all, this was indeed something he had told Du Bu Si. He just didn't understand why Du Bu Si would bring it up at this moment.

"That's right, Master. Moreover, after accepting the sacrifice of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, although the soul power contained in its soul ring has been of great help to me..."

"...it also means that I need to spend more time to truly consolidate and digest it, otherwise it may be difficult to continue to the next stage."

Du Bu Si nodded: "Well, since it's all a matter of gradual progress, then there's no need to rush. You kid come out with me for a trip, it can be considered as broadening your horizons!"

"Broaden my horizons? Could it be that Master, you are going to challenge some strong person to a duel?"

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but battles below the Super Douluo level may not be of much help to me."

"As for battles above the Super Douluo level, if I am nearby, I am afraid that Master, you will also be restricted."

Hearing this, Du Bu Si said, blowing his beard and glaring: "Could it be that in your mind, all I do when I take you out is to fight and cause trouble everywhere?"

After speaking, he lightly punched Huo Yuhao on the head, but of course, he didn't use much force.

And Huo Yuhao naturally didn't avoid it, but looked at Du Bu Si with a 'what else would it be' look.

After all, after coming to the Body Sect, the few times Huo Yuhao followed Du Bu Si out, they were basically for hunting soul beasts. Most of the time, apart from searching, was spent on fighting.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, Du Bu Si couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Then, he directly picked up Huo Yuhao and flew towards the Body Sect with him.

In the sky, Du Bu Si said with some solemnity: "Yuhao, you are the young sect master of our Body Sect, the future sect master of our Body Sect."

"Master knows that your talent in cultivation and research is probably unmatched throughout the ages. However, as the future sect master of the Body Sect, a leader of a large force, merely possessing these is far from enough."

"One person's strength is sometimes exhausted, so strong people need disciples to support them, and weak people also want to unite around the strong to seek benefits for themselves."

"From ancient times to the present, those scattered people with weak forces, even if they can become titled powerhouses who shake one side, what about Super Douluos?"

"Scattered people will eventually end up alone and helpless. And Yuhao, although you are extremely talented and destined to be a strong person, Master can see that you don't care."

"You don't care about the ordinary disciples in the sect. Now, those ordinary disciples are indeed grateful to you because of your guidance and your theories, but this is only temporary."

"Because in your eyes, perhaps the disciples in the sect are no different from the soul masters outside. To you, they are all ordinary people who are difficult to reach your level. In your eyes, they are just a part of the Body Sect."

"To you, what you want to help and strengthen is the Body Sect itself, because the sect can bring you opportunities to become stronger."

"But what Master wants to tell you is not the case. People are people, not a part of any whole. For these disciples, they may not be able to truly recognize you in a short period of time."

"But if you continue to do this, then over time, even the disciples who admire you the most will eventually fear you and stay away from you."

"Perhaps Yuhao, you don't think that the exclusion of the weak is meaningful." Speaking of this, Du Bu Si looked at Huo Yuhao with some melancholy: "What a sect needs is a sense of belonging. Today, if those disciples can gather around you because of your 'strength'..."

"...but if you turn a blind eye to them, then eventually one day, once a 'stronger' existence appears, then they will definitely defect to others."

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, and was about to refute, but was interrupted by Du Bu Si's strong interruption.

"I know what you want to say, Yuhao, and I also understand that you believe that this world is determined by strength. That's right, that's indeed the case."

"Moreover, with your aptitude and ability, Yuhao, you will definitely stand at the top of the pyramid of power in this world in the future. But if that day really comes, Yuhao, what will you do then?"

"The strong have the privilege to decide and ravage this world with their own will, but under these privileges, what is concealed is the emptiness in the hearts of every strong person."

"This is not Master criticizing your way of dealing with people, but Master hopes you can think clearly about what you are for, what you really want to do, instead of becoming stronger for the sake of becoming stronger. Master hopes you can be worthy of your original heart."

Flying in the sky with Huo Yuhao, Du Bu Si's flying speed was not fast at this time. Every word he said could be reliably transmitted to Huo Yuhao's ears.

Huo Yuhao also fell into silence at this time. Before crossing to this world, he was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old student.

And even after crossing to this world, even though four years have passed, what he has increased is only his cultivation, not his experience.

Although in his previous life, the transmigrator had already established his own worldview, and at the same time, because he was once in the perspective of God, he had the ability to criticize this world.

But after truly entering this world, in fact, Huo Yuhao still found it difficult to recognize himself.

For Huo Yuhao, he does not think that he is inferior to Tang San. Even in his heart, his own existence, because he knows the original work, is even higher than this so-called God King.

But this mission was inherited naturally after the transmigrator took over the identity of 'Huo Yuhao', because if you want to have extraordinary power in this extraordinary world...

...then the various shackles confined to the identity of 'Huo Yuhao' are unavoidable.

However, from the very beginning, Huo Yuhao hadn't deeply considered this question, because in his view, the original Huo Yuhao's various opportunities had already laid the foundation for him to confront Tang San.

Furthermore, with the God's-eye view and coordinating abilities of a transmigrator, he believed that to contend with Tang San, he simply needed to become stronger and stronger, continuing down that path.

But now, what is the significance of my actions? Power is the necessary key to achieve a goal, but power itself is by no means the goal. Is confronting Tang San my purpose?

In the original work, Huo Yuhao, in the secret chamber beneath the Golden Tree, also used deep meditation to seek his true heart. Although under the guidance of the Golden Tree and Mu En, he reached a conclusion about the Tang Sect.

However, the test of one's heart, even if somewhat peculiar, is indeed a way for soul masters in the Douluo world to determine their future direction, or rather, this self-awareness will, to some extent, influence their strength improvement.

But for the current Huo Yuhao, he has never experienced these things, because he doesn't even need to, because he is 'strong' enough, talented enough.

For Huo Yuhao, the so-called bottleneck doesn't exist, and the so-called weakness doesn't exist either.

He only needs to constantly learn and plunder everything he knows, turning it into his own strength, and he can continuously become stronger.

And like Du Bu Si, this is also what Illex was worried about, so he set up the trial in the Undead Demiplane for Huo Yuhao.

However, although Huo Yuhao didn't feel much from the previous trials, Illex always felt that they were having little effect, or rather, not hitting the mark.

But now, with Du Bu Si's guidance, Illex suddenly realized what was missing from the trials he had set for Huo Yuhao.

That was Huo Yuhao's experience.

Illex once had the experience of bearing a blood feud, but there must be love before there can be hate.

If it weren't for the love for his family and the love for his former lover, which ultimately turned into hate when both were destroyed, then Illex's own driving force of hatred would never have been so powerful.

Looking back on the time spent residing in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, although Huo Yuhao can play the role of a good student eager for knowledge, or a talented leader.

But in fact, Huo Yuhao lacks 'emotion'. For Tianmeng Iceworm, Huo Yuhao is the core of his godhood plan, and for Huo Yuhao, Tianmeng Iceworm is just an appendage.

With Huo Yuhao's own talent and luck, even without the help of Tianmeng Iceworm, if Huo Yuhao wants to get on the right track, although it will take more time, with his current talent, it is by no means impossible.

And for Illex, Huo Yuhao is a qualified magic inheritor, but for Huo Yuhao, the magic Illex possesses is not necessarily what he needs.

Even without magic, Huo Yuhao can still use the power of other directions to arm himself, such as soul power circuits or self-created soul skills simulated by soul guidance core arrays.

Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was still thinking, Du Bu Si didn't continue to speak, but silently took Huo Yuhao towards Tiandou City.

The flight was very smooth, and even the slightest external disturbance was isolated by Du Bu Si's soul power.

Huo Yuhao fell into self-contemplation at this time, for a long, long time.

What exactly do I want? What exactly do I want to do? What exactly am I doing?

Huo Yuhao found that he really hadn't realized this point, even after coming to this world for four years.

He was just immersed in the joy of pursuing knowledge and power. Becoming stronger is addictive.

It's not to say that simply becoming stronger is wrong, but for Huo Yuhao, is simply becoming stronger really what he wants?

If that's really the case, then it's good to continue down this path, follow your heart, become stronger, so strong that no one can敌.

But at this moment, Huo Yuhao fell into hesitation, because he didn't know.

He doesn't know if this is his pursuit, just like once the path of becoming stronger goes astray, it will be difficult to move forward.

Once the path of pursuing one's true heart goes wrong, then one will inevitably lose oneself and be doomed forever, not to say that one will die because of it.

It's just that the 'I' of the past will no longer exist, and will be replaced by a new 'I'.

In the Douluo world, there is mention of the concept of the heart, but not much, and it will not affect how to become stronger or break through.

But at this time, Huo Yuhao fell into confusion, because he didn't want to, and he didn't think that he would eventually choose to become a 'god' trapped in the God Realm.

So he wanted to find what he really wanted. After several considerations, Huo Yuhao finally shook his head and gave up continuing to think about it.

Because thinking has no end, and pure thinking cannot verify what one seeks. Only through the unity of knowledge and action can one be proven.

Since you don't know what you want to do, then just do it.

Currently, Huo Yuhao's becoming stronger has fallen into a bottleneck, not stagnant, but entering a relatively stable accumulation period.

Because of this, he also has more time to walk, see, and think about what he needs.

Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was no longer thinking, and Tiandou City, which could already be seen in the distance, Du Bu Si asked, "Yuhao, have you figured it out?"

In fact, Du Bu Si is a little nervous now, because he doesn't know if Huo Yuhao has really thought it 'through'.

Huo Yuhao's subsequent shaking of his head, although made him a little disappointed, but also a little fortunate.

After all, it is a good thing that Huo Yuhao did not hastily define his true heart.

"Since this is the case, Yuhao, then you will stay by my side during this period, watch carefully, and think carefully."

"Tiandou City, we're here."

Tiandou City, as the former imperial city of the Tiandou Empire and the current royal city of the Tianhun Empire, although ancient, its prosperity is also among the top cities on the Douluo Continent.

And here, there is also a stronghold of the Body Sect, and it is also the largest stronghold of the Body Sect besides the sect's base, built by the Tianhun Empire's royal family for their protector sect.

At the same time, Tiandou City is also where those forces with the ability to research soul guidance devices, who formed an alliance with the Body Sect under the leadership of Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng, have their representatives stationed.

After all, those soul masters from the Sun Moon Empire are also being held here, and Du Bu Si and the Tianhun Empire's royal family are not at ease placing them elsewhere.
