Huo Yuhao immediately got up and began packing.
After rummaging around the room for a while, he suddenly realized that as the most powerful members of the White Tiger Duke's residence, Huo Yun'er and Huo Yuhao were, if not rich, then at best, incredibly poor.
The most valuable item in the house, besides the White Tiger dagger, was the clay pot on the table.
He'd almost completely vacuumed the room clean, but only found seven silver soul coins and twenty bronze soul coins.
That's right, not even a single gold soul coin! This amount of money might be substantial for an average family, but for a spirit master embarking on a long journey, it would probably only last a week.
"No wonder Huo Yuhao in the original novel had to fish for food in the Star Dou Great Forest. He truly didn't have enough money for rations."
Huo Yuhao, looking at the money on the table, fell into deep thought.
"Looks like I'll have to pick up my old skill of grilling fish later."
Despite having little money, Huo Yuhao was determined to leave the White Tiger Duke's residence.
There was no other way. Even without the past life connection, any normal person who had seen Huo Yuhao's memories would not choose to remain in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
Huo Yuhao and his mother regarded the White Tiger Duchess as a thorn in their side.
She sent people to cause trouble almost every other day, and her methods became increasingly brutal.
From verbal abuse to physical assaults, she became increasingly brazen.
She was certain that Huo Yuhao, without awakening his White Tiger Martial Spirit, would go unnoticed by Dai Hao, far away in the Mingdou Mountains. Even if he died, her overwhelming power within the White Tiger Duke's Mansion meant she had countless ways to deal with him.
As for resistance, the Duchess was a true Soul Sage. While not a Force Attack Spirit Master, her realm was there, and her sheer pressure alone could crush Huo Yuhao hundreds of times.
Of course, revenge was a must. Given all the experiences he had over the years, when he had fully developed, he would inflict the ultimate humiliation on the Duchess and Dai Huabin.
He would even record and copy hundreds of millions of copies of the scene using spirit guides for the world to see.
Just thinking about that scene made him almost jump with excitement.
"Forget it, let's quickly pack our belongings."
Huo Yuhao shook his head and collected his thoughts. He put the money in his pocket and hung the White Tiger Dagger on his waist, ready for immediate use in case of danger.
The most important thing next was to check the status of his mental and soul power.
Soul power and mental power were the foundation of his life, and no mistakes were allowed.
Huo Yuhao opened his spiritual eyes, and his deep blue eyes suddenly became clear. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if stars were flowing within them.
After activating his martial spirit, the world became extremely clear in Huo Yuhao's vision, capturing every detail, from the tiny lines on the table to the dust floating in the air.
Simultaneously, the soul power in his body flowed through his meridians, reaching his brain, transformed into mental power, and then circulated within his spiritual eyes.
Huo Yuhao used his mental power to perceive his entire body, every part of his flesh and blood forming a detailed image in his mind.
After a quick self-examination, he frowned, his mental power sensing a slight sense of disharmony as it examined himself.
It felt as if something was inside him. If he hadn't possessed the spiritual power of the Lingtong realm, he probably wouldn't have noticed the strange sensation.
Huo Yuhao began to use his spiritual power to gradually explore every inch of his flesh and blood. Although his spiritual power was at a powerful level, his soul power was only at the ninth level. After a thorough investigation, his face had turned pale.
Strangely, although he clearly felt the strange sensation, he could find nothing.
Huo Yuhao's brows furrowed. He would never allow his body to harbor hidden dangers he didn't understand. If this hidden danger suddenly erupted during battle, it would be Huo Yuhao's life.
So, he ignored his body's already sounding alarms and forcibly squeezed his soul power into spiritual power, then injected it into his spiritual eyes to explore deeper into his body. His
spiritual power carefully explored each organ in his body. Fortunately, his efforts paid off. He finally discovered a mysterious "line" in the spiritual sea within his brain.
The "line" violently divided the pure white sky of the spiritual sea in two, and countless points of light swirled around it.
After his spiritual power attempted to touch the line, it rapidly expanded into a massive portal, and from behind it erupted a powerful suction force.
Like a black hole suddenly appearing in his spiritual sea, the floating specks of light were sucked in, along with Huo Yuhao's consciousness.
After his consciousness entered, he felt like he was being tortured inside a washing machine running at full power.
As his mind spun, Huo Yuhao vaguely sensed an indescribable presence connecting with his soul.
Before he could register what it was, his consciousness was flung back into his spiritual sea.
"I almost got my consciousness thrown off the line,"
he said, suppressing the nausea that emanated from deep within his soul. He then re-examined his spiritual sea. He
discovered the pure white space was completely empty. If it weren't for the numerous specks of light missing from his spiritual sea and the discomfort emanating from his soul, no one would have known what had happened there.
Huo Yuhao wanted to explore further, but his soul power was completely depleted, his spiritual power was running low, and his Spirit Eyes martial spirit sounded an alarm.
With no other options, he had to shut down his martial spirit and retract his consciousness.
Huo Yuhao used his hands to forcefully lift his head from the table. His face was extremely pale, a sign of overdrawn mental and soul power.
He refocused his pupils to look at the trees outside to refresh himself, but the sight before him made his pupils shrink suddenly.
A transparent light curtain suddenly appeared in front of him.
After the shock came ecstasy!
Having browsed countless golden age online novels on the virtual reality network in his previous life, he had seen enough of this kind of development.
This is the symbol of a panel-based protagonist!
His brain, which had been a little tingling due to the overdrawn mental power, suddenly became clear, probably because of the adrenaline.
Huo Yuhao began to read the contents of the light curtain with great concentration.
"Name: Huo Yuhao"
"Race: Human (God?)"
"Soul Power: 15 (Level 9)"
"Spiritual Power: 300"
"Martial Soul: Spirit Eyes"
"Abilities: None"
"Authority: [Dream]: Unique fantasies of life (Mastery 2%)
[Understanding]: The desire to control the unknown (Mastery 1%)
[Imagination]: Distortion of reality (Mastery 1%)"
"Lottery: Random manifestation based on imagination (Number of times * 3)"
"Conclusion: Lord of the former higher dimension! Please ascend to the throne!"
After browsing the panel, Huo Yuhao's eyes focused on the last conclusion.
"Lord of the higher dimension? Are you talking about my past life?"
For some unknown reason, Huo Yuhao gently tapped the last conclusion with his finger.
The entire panel began to ripple violently from his finger, and the final conclusion gradually faded in the distorted ripples. Then, a flood of information flooded into Huo Yuhao's brain from the panel.
Having previously experienced the awakening of past life memories, Huo Yuhao's brain had already adapted to this onslaught of information.
This information mainly discussed the origin of the panel and how to improve control over authority.
This panel was composed of the three major authorities based on Huo Yuhao's memories.
[Dream] forms the core of the panel, [Understanding] populates it with content, and [Imagination] grants it functionality.
Huo Yuhao, originally a higher-dimensional being, descended upon arriving in this universe. In the process, he captured the spiritual laws of this universe and imprinted his own mark.
In short, Huo Yuhao is now the spiritual master of this universe, but he hasn't yet mastered authority.
In other worlds' terms, Huo Yuhao possesses status without authority or power.
As for mastering the three major powers, [Dream] requires Huo Yuhao to gather dreams and weave a dream kingdom to increase his control.
[Understanding] requires him to explore the unknown. This unknown is vast, encompassing unknown realms, unknown places, and unknown knowledge.
[Imagination] is simple and straightforward: simply draw lots to increase control. The number of draws earned is related to a unique spirit.
Any intelligent and awakened being possesses a unique spirit, derived from its memories and soul.
The easiest way to acquire this unique spirit is to kill!
Huo Yuhao pondered. He certainly couldn't kill civilians to gain draws.
The ideological education he received in his previous life's dungeon wouldn't allow him to do this. However, this was the Peerless Tang Sect era, a place with a local specialty—evil spirit masters. He had no problem killing them.
Killing all the evil spirit masters might kill some innocent ones, but if he killed nine out of ten, there would definitely be some that slipped through the net!
After roughly planning how to obtain the lottery draw opportunities, Huo Yuhao set his sights on the three lottery draw opportunities provided on the control panel.
After a moment's reflection, he decided to use them now.
He clasped his hands together and silently chanted, "Bless the Three Pure Ones, bless the Buddha, bless God, praise Allah, bless our ancestors..."
"Give it to me!"
Huo Yuhao's face was grim, and he suddenly tapped the lottery button on the control panel.
After three consecutive ripples of golden light, the names of the three items appeared on the panel.
"Faceless Mask: Once worn, you can alter your appearance and height at will, with the maximum range limited to 10cm above or below the user's height."
"Yilin Concentrated Potion (Douluo Special): Did you know? Even the air in that kingdom is sweet. After injecting this, your mind will be filled with the glory of Shrek."
"Mangekyo Sharingan: This transcribes the powers of Amaterasu, Kagutsuchi-no-Mikoto, Tsukuyomi, and Kamui. If the user experiences severe mental shock, it can also awaken their own eye techniques. Note: Overuse can cause blindness."
Looking at the three items on the panel, Huo Yuhao's smile curled up harder than Ak.
Aside from the Yilin Concentrated Potion, whose use is currently unknown, the Faceless Mask and the Mangekyō Sharingan are both Golden Legends.
Furthermore, this Mangekyō Sharingan transcribes numerous eye techniques.
Due to the pre-existence of soul technology, soul masters during the Peerless Tang Sect era did not delve deeply into spiritual power, and few actively cultivated it.
The realms of spiritual power during this era were roughly categorized as intangible, tangible, and both tangible and substantial.
Due to the lack of systematic spiritual cultivation, no one has yet discovered that achieving peak spiritual power can actually create a spiritual realm.
Therefore, illusion-based eye techniques like Tsukuyomi are absolutely deadly for soul masters below Soul Sage level.
As for soul masters above Soul Sage level, Huo Yuhao is unsure of the true extent of the spiritual benefits of his spirit avatar and cannot guarantee it.
Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi are complementary eye techniques. While Amaterasu's Black Flame hasn't incinerated anyone in Naruto, its power is still considerable. Amaterasu
's temperature is set to rival that of the sun, and based on the Naruto depictions, it's likely comparable to the sun's surface.
That's around 5500°C, while the Douluo Ultimate Flame's temperature is 3000°C.
As for Kamui, this eye technique is considered one of the pinnacle Sharingan eye techniques in Naruto.
It has mechanics and stats, strong life-saving abilities, decent damage output, and even a certain degree of mobility. It possesses a built-in alternate dimension, which could be called a demi-plane in Douluo Continent?
However, considering that spatial abilities are not particularly scarce on Douluo Continent, Kamui's actual performance in this world is somewhat questionable.
"What a shame I don't have the Eight Thousand Spears."
Huo Yuhao sighed regretfully. If he had the Eight Thousand Spears, he wouldn't have even lost his last remaining soul power weakness. He could have given Douluo some Infinite Moon Reading shockwaves.
Returning his thoughts to the control panel, Huo Yuhao silently chanted,
"Fuse it for me!"
