Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 67: Life Guardian Blade
"This Soul-Devouring Knife is indeed a murderous and ominous knife." Jing Hongchen looked at the Soul-Devouring Knife. Considering Huo Yuhao's safety, he reached out and stroked it. Then he said with a serious expression, "I can feel a chilling aura rushing toward my body. However, I can get rid of this chilling aura by circulating my soul power.
Until today, we still don't know what the evil soul master did to create such a vicious knife that could devour its master. Yuhao, if you feel that you cannot solve the problem with this carving knife, stop immediately. If worst comes to worst, I can take you to see Mr. Kong and ask for a top-ranked carving knife."
Huo Yuhao nodded, "Don't worry, Dean, I can solve the problem with the Soul-Devouring Knife!"
He believed that his third eye would only become slightly more complete with the help of this knife, so he could not give up this carving knife no matter what.
In fact, for Huo Yuhao in the original novel, the third eye was a very important aspect. In "The Legend of Tang Heroes," Huo Yuhao could become a true God King because the Eye of Destiny evolved into the super artifact Eye of Eternity.
Then he used his spiritual detection on the Soul-Devouring Knife, and a fierce, cold aura swept over him. He called out to Electrolux in his spiritual sea, "Teacher, the Soul-Devouring Knife is right in front of me, so you can take action."
Electrolux replied, "Okay!"
Then Huo Yuhao's eyes instantly turned gray, and an aura of death emanated from his body. However, within this aura of death, there was a strangely sacred temperament.
Jing Hongchen was a little surprised. He didn't understand what was happening to Huo Yuhao, but he sensed that Huo Yuhao was undergoing a drastic change, as though he had become a different person.
However, the sacred aura surrounding him was something Jing Hongchen had rarely encountered in his life. If he didn't know that Huo Yuhao's martial soul was not an angel's martial soul, he might have suspected that Huo Yuhao was the inheritor of an angel's martial soul!
"I don't know whether this change is good or bad," Jing Hongchen admitted, feeling a bit nervous.
Meng Hongchen, on the side, widened her eyes and looked at Huo Yuhao. To be honest, she felt that Huo Yuhao had become much more handsome since he returned from the Far North. However, his inner temperament was not what it was before.
Two gray lights burst from Huo Yuhao's eyes. The two gray lights struck the Soul-Devouring Knife directly. At this moment, the knife began to tremble strangely and emitted bursts of shrill screams.
Seeing this scene, a look of surprise appeared on Meng Hongchen's face. Xiao Hongchen clenched his fists, a hint of nervousness showing on his face.
Jing Hongchen watched this scene nervously. His martial soul was activated, and nine soul rings appeared around him.
To Jing Hongchen, Huo Yuhao was undoubtedly the peerless genius of the Sun Moon Empire, so if any problem arose, he needed to save Huo Yuhao at a critical moment.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's eyes transformed from gray to white, and the gray light shifted into pure white purifying light.
At this moment, a green light emerged from the Soul-Devouring Knife, condensing into a hideous and ferocious face. This was the evil thought and curse attached to the Soul-Devouring Knife, which had killed many soul engineers. However, this hideous face was quickly obliterated by the white purifying light and then completely dissipated.
This once black carving knife had now turned completely green, resembling crystal, and looked quite beautiful.
The white in Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually faded. He looked at Jing Hongchen and said, "Okay, Dean, the problem with the Soul-Devouring Knife has been solved. It will no longer kill its master."
"The problem has been solved?" Jing Hongchen looked incredulous. He stretched out his hand and touched the Soul-Devouring Knife. Unlike the last time he had touched it, this time a strong breath of life surged over him, making him feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
Jing Hongchen's expression was complex. "In the past three thousand years, no one has ever solved the problem of the Soul-Devouring Knife. Yuhao, you are the first person to do this in the past three thousand years. Compared to you, any genius seems dull."
Huo Yuhao thought that when he read the original novel, he hadn't realized how skilled the Dean was at praising people. However, upon reflection, the spirit soul had already shocked Jing Hongchen even more previously, so it was not surprising that Jing Hongchen said such words.
Xiao Hongchen, who stood nearby, bit his back teeth almost to pieces. To be honest, he was impressed by Huo Yuhao's ability to solve the problem with the Soul-Devouring Knife. The issues with this thing were notoriously difficult to resolve. If it had been him, even with his pride, he would have admitted that he was not capable of it. But what did his grandfather mean by that?
Compared with Huo Yuhao, he wasn't so dull!
After all, he was also a genius among the living beings in the Sun Moon Empire—second only to Huo Yuhao! If Huo Yuhao was compared to the moon at night, then he was the star! What Grandpa said was unfair!
"Dean, I will leave first with this Life Guardian Blade!" Huo Yuhao picked up the carving knife and prepared to find a quiet place to create the Eye of Destiny.
"Life Guardian Blade?" Jing Hongchen was a little surprised. "Is this its new name?"
"Yes, because it is made of a rare metal called Life Gold, I call it the Life Guardian Blade," Huo Yuhao said as he raised the green carving knife. The sunlight shone through the window and fell on the knife, creating a halo that looked magnificent.
Meng Hongchen's eyes sparkled. "Compared to before, this carving knife is so beautiful now. I feel like my previous carving knife pales in comparison!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Sister." A smile adorned Huo Yuhao's face.
Star Dou Great Forest.
By the Lake.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion approached Di Tian and said nervously, "Di Tian, I'm going to be in seclusion for a while, so there's no need to arrange for Red King to tell me stories for the next period."
"Oh? A retreat? How long has it been since you last did this? Why did you suddenly think of doing this?" Di Tian turned to look at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, confusion emerging on his face.
"I feel like I'm too weak, so I have to become stronger to prevent myself from being controlled by humans in the future!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion stared intently at Di Tian, trying to appear normal.
She felt her heart pounding wildly.
The reason was simple. The so-called retreat was just her excuse. She had a yearning for the colorful human world, so she wanted to use the retreat to sneak out and see what the human world was like.
Of course, it would be even better if she could find the human named Huo Yuhao.
However, this behavior was essentially a lie to Di Tian. She was an auspicious beast born from the condensation of destiny and favored by heaven and earth. Therefore, she was different from most soul beasts. She had no parents. Because of her special identity, she had always been raised under the care of the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
