Douluo: The True Eye

Chapter 121: Her Name is Di Ruier

Compared to the bustling and prosperous Heaven Dou City, aside from the initial curiosity brought about by the novelty, Di Ruier actually preferred a more harmonious natural environment.

Therefore, apart from the first few days when Di Ruier dragged Huo Yuhao around out of curiosity, and the two of them explored the entire Heaven Dou City together,

In these past few days, their meeting place has been in the suburbs of Heaven Dou City, in this secluded and deserted grassland.

Apart from random summoning type summoning techniques, all summoning techniques require the summoner to contract the summoned beast in advance.

Whether it's an equal contract, a soul contract, a blood contract, a master-servant contract, and so on and so forth.

The essence of these contracts is to bind the summoner and the summoned beast together to a certain extent, and only under the circumstances of concluding a contract can the summoned beast be locked to its coordinate anchor point by the summoner and summoned to their side through術式.

And as such, along with the development of the summoner profession, whether it is positioning, communication, or a series of more complex effects, over time they have all been incorporated into the contract.

The level of a soul contract is only below that of a life-and-death blood contract. As an advanced contract, it naturally also possesses many additional accompanying effects.

The ability of Huo Yuhao and Di Ruier to have telepathy, share vision, communicate with each other, and exchange memories are only some of the basic functions that come with it.

And precisely because of this, even if they were to discuss some plan, or even if they were to launch an action, Huo Yuhao would not need to meet with Di Ruier directly.

However, Huo Yuhao didn't dwell on this too much at this time. He lay on a slightly sloping grassland with Di Ruier, looking up at the starry sky.

He took the lead in saying, "I've dealt with almost everything in Heaven Dou City during this time, but there are still some loose ends to tie up."

"After I finish dealing with them, I can go directly to the Far North in a few days. How is the situation with your Dio Academy?"

Di Ruier, lying on the grass, squinted her eyes, her expression quite relaxed. Beneath her rather noble appearance and temperament, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was actually still a young girl at heart.

"After you accompanied me there once before, although they were very unhappy, that old man still agreed to let me leave Dio Academy."

Although Di Ruier's appearance was very intriguing, as far as Huo Yuhao was concerned, as long as he wanted to, he only needed to slightly conceal it with his spiritual power, and his contact with Di Ruier these past few days would naturally not be easily noticed.

However, in order to take Di Ruier away from Dio Academy, Huo Yuhao had previously revealed his identity as the young sect master of the Body Sect and had a negotiation with the dean and vice-dean of Dio Academy.

It was precisely because of this that Huo Yuhao's relationship with Di Ruier was inquired about by those under Du Bus 死's command. After all, what happened at Dio Academy was considered a major event in this Heaven Dou City.

As for why Huo Yuhao wanted to take Di Ruier away from Dio Academy.

First of all, regardless of the performance of Shrek Academy in this competition, and the butterfly effect produced by the various situations that were completely different from the original work, whether the next Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition would be held as usual in the Sun Moon Empire.

But even if the next Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition proceeded as usual as in the original work, since Huo Yuhao already knew that this competition was a trap set by the Sun Moon Empire, then why should he let his own people throw themselves into the net?

Although in Huo Yuhao's view, the so-called plan of the Sun Moon Empire to host this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition in the original work also seemed a bit hasty.

After all, even according to the best expectations of the Sun Moon Empire, it would only be able to severely injure the young talents under the age of twenty among the three countries of the original Douluo Continent in advance.

But you must know that, no matter what, this is only one generation of the three countries of the original Douluo Continent. Those spirit masters who have truly grown up in the previous competitions will not be affected in the slightest.

Apart from needlessly exposing the Sun Moon Empire's war actions against the three countries of the original Douluo Continent in advance, this plan actually cannot gain much tangible benefit.

Of course, from the reader's perspective, in this Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Soul Fighting Competition, many of the new generation led by Huo Yuhao and others in the protagonist group have talents that are rare to see in a hundred years.

But as far as affecting the war trend of the entire continent is concerned, the role these people can play is not that important in the early stages of the war. After all, even the protagonist group only grew to the level of Titled Douluo many years later.

Moreover, if the destruction caused to Mingdu by Huo Yuhao detonating the ammunition depot in the original work and the losses caused to the Sun Moon Empire are not taken into account.

In fact, according to Mingdu's war reserves, it would be fully sufficient to directly launch a full-scale war, and under the dual crushing of national power and military strength of the Sun Moon Empire, if it suddenly launched an attack and started a war at that time, it would be the choice that could maximize the benefits in the first place.

And apart from the potential threat of the Sun Moon Empire, Huo Yuhao also knew that near Mingdu, there was also the Valley of Affection, a place where Tang San had set up a means in the Douluo Continent.

Since he knew the situation, and Huo Yuhao also understood that he didn't have the power to confront the gods head-on, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't rashly go to Mingdu to give himself up.

And in Tang San's plan, the most important node in the arrangement for soul beasts was the Imperial Radiant Beast, so even if Di Ruier had Ditian's insurance on her, it was still not enough for Tang San, who didn't play by the rules.

After all, with intention calculating against the unintentional, the soul beasts now don't know that the God of Asura in the God Realm has been replaced by Tang San, who doesn't care about anything.

And the more important reason why Huo Yuhao wanted to reveal his identity and take Di Ruier away was to hope to attract the attention of others to himself.

After all, Di Ruier's origins really couldn't stand scrutiny. If someone followed the clues and discovered her abnormality, then it would be a bit troublesome.

Because of the reason that a 100,000-year soul beast had transformed into a human, although it was not mentioned much in the original work, the spirit masters of this era were still quite sensitive to the transformation of 100,000-year soul beasts.

Even though Di Ruier's transformation was seamless, undetectable even to Limit Douluos, allowing her to deceive the powerhouses of the Di'ao Academy and successfully join.

However, upon closer inspection, Di Ruier is still essentially an unregistered individual, with a background that cannot be fabricated in just a few words.

At that moment, the two of them lay side-by-side on the grass, gazing up at the bright moon in the sky, remaining silent for a long time.

Huo Yuhao genuinely didn't know what to say at this moment. After finishing the serious matters, he fell into silence.

Through the soul contract, Huo Yuhao could hear Di Ruier beside him, seemingly counting the stars.

This had become a common occurrence in their interactions over the past few days. When it came to serious matters, Huo Yuhao could speak eloquently, but after that, Di Ruier would take control.

Moreover, ever since their first outing in the city, Di Ruier had been in control.

Huo Yuhao even felt ashamed of himself at the time and resolved to regain the initiative the next time they met.

But...

The second day: a silent half-day of shopping.

The third day: a silent half-day of shopping.

The fourth day: a silent half-day of shopping.

The fifth day: Huo Yuhao made a painful decision.

'Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao! How can you be so weak? Didn't you already think of what to say? Stand up! You can't continue like this.'

The sixth day: a silent half-day of shopping.

The seventh day: a silent half-day of shopping.

The eighth day: a silent half-day outside the city.

Huo Yuhao only spoke after Di Ruier took the initiative to start a conversation. At this point, Huo Yuhao no longer intended to struggle and decided to continue with this mode of interaction.

However, Huo Yuhao was now curious. Even though they were out and about, Huo Yuhao hadn't reduced his efforts in cultivation after returning.

How could Di Ruier manage to slack off every day while still maintaining her cultivation?

As a Ruishou, her cultivation during the Soul Beast stage could only increase naturally with age. But what about now, after transforming into human form?

Thinking this, Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate and directly asked Di Ruier.

"Oh, that question?" Di Ruier tilted her head and, from who knows where, took out the Golden Dragon Spear.

Huo Yuhao naturally recognized this item. After all, the Golden Dragon Spear played a significant role in the original story and was closely related to the Dragon Clan.

"My cultivation is indeed fixed, even after transforming into human form. After all, I'm not really re-cultivating, so the strength I gain in human form comes from the Golden Dragon Spear."

Her bright eyes blinked, and Huo Yuhao couldn't help but look away, but he more or less understood Di Ruier's explanation.

After all, as a Ruishou, the strength of the Emperor Ruishou, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, is actually equivalent to a human Title Douluo.

It's just that she can't exert her full strength in human form, and she no longer possesses such a powerful physical body, which is why she only exhibits a Soul Power of level sixty.

However, the Golden Dragon Spear compensates for this. By purifying the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's bloodline in human form into a Golden Dragon, it resonates with the Golden Dragon Spear.

Using the power of this divine weapon, Di Ruier gradually increases her compatibility with it, and as the compatibility increases, the divine weapon feeds back a portion of its power to Di Ruier.

It can even use this divine weapon to condense 'Soul Rings,' but in reality, these so-called Soul Rings and Martial Souls are all based on the Golden Dragon Spear and do not truly belong to Di Ruier.

Because as an Emperor Ruishou, her own strength is actually tied to the entire Soul Beast race.

No matter how hard she tries to improve herself, or even if she consumes heavenly treasures, they will be covered by the vast power of luck and destiny and will not have a substantial impact on her body.

And as she ages, the power of luck of the entire Soul Beast race that the Emperor Ruishou can bear will gradually increase.

This is why an Emperor Ruishou with only fifteen thousand years of cultivation can have a true combat power comparable to a hundred thousand year Soul Beast.

Compared to ordinary Soul Beasts who painstakingly cultivate their bloodlines and hone their Soul Power, the growth of an Emperor Ruishou is completely different from theirs.

After thinking for a while, Huo Yuhao stood up and pulled up Di Ruier beside him, using his mental power to sweep away the dust and grass from their bodies.

"Now that the matters at Di'ao Academy are settled, you should follow me to the Body Sect's base for a while. After I arrange the matters at hand, I'll take you to the Far North."

Di Ruier nodded. Of course, she had no objections. After leaving Di'ao Academy, she had been staying in a hotel in Tiandou City for the past two days.

Moreover, she didn't have anything to prepare. Compared to humans, Soul Beasts have never been too interested in these material possessions.

With the storage soul tool that Di Tian gave her, she could naturally pack everything she needed.

At the Body Sect's base, Du Busi's expression was not very good.

He had just gone to Di'ao Academy, and the dean of Di'ao Academy was panicked by his presence. After all, Du Busi's eccentric personality was quite famous.

Fortunately, Du Busi wasn't there to cause trouble this time. He was just inquiring about someone, but recalling the information he had gathered, he felt like cursing.

"Ah? Title Douluo, the girl you mentioned was taken away by your sect's young master."

Rubbing his hands obsequiously, the old man squeezed out an awkward smile: "As for her specific whereabouts, I really don't know."

"Oh, you're asking about the girl's background? We're not very clear about that either."

"However, according to my guess, she should be a descendant of a hidden family. After all, ordinary family bloodlines can't produce top-tier Martial Souls like the Golden Dragon."

"Moreover, that girl has an extraordinary temperament and is a match made in heaven with your sect's young master."

The words were good, and Du Busi was very happy, but he would be even happier if he could see the person in person.

As soon as he returned to the base, Du Busi felt a strange aura, and with a flash, he appeared in a courtyard.

Huo Yuhao was not surprised by Du Busi's arrival and said, "Master, her name is Di Ruier, and she is my friend."
