Chapter 96: Unfavorable weather

Ma Xiaotao stood in front of the window, the sun shone through the thin curtains on her face, warm and bright.

Her mood was like the dark clouds outside the window, difficult to dissipate.

Yesterday was their rare day off, and they had planned to go to Xingluo City together to enjoy this long-lost holiday, but Huo Yuhao seemed to have evaporated and did not show up for the whole day.

Now Huo Yuhao suddenly appeared again like a few days ago, making her unable to help but rub Huo Yuhao's cheeks hard.

"Did you forget that we have a day off?"

Ma Xiaotao's tone was mixed with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"I forgot too."

Huo Yuhao's voice came, with a bit of innocence and laziness, as if he had never realized what he had missed.

Ma Xiaotao frowned slightly, and a feeling of helplessness surged in her heart.

He just stayed at home like this, didn't he feel bored?

"Then you stay at home all day?"

She couldn't help asking, with a hint of ridicule in her tone.

Huo Yuhao nodded, as if to say "Yes, that's how I spend my days".

Her mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

Ma Xiaotao looked up helplessly, looking at the blue sky outside the window, and was speechless.

God knows how painful it was for her to happily invite Huo Yuhao to go shopping in Xingluo City yesterday, but she waited for a whole day and didn't see anyone.

It was just that Wu Yu's mother opened the door to Wu Yu, and Wu Yu was at home.

"Do you know? I was happily preparing to invite you to go shopping in Xingluo City yesterday, but I waited for a whole day and didn't see you."

Her tone was resentful. If someone who didn't know saw it, they would think Huo Yuhao was a scumbag who abandoned her after having sex.

"Next time you dare to stand me up, I'll make you look good!"

Ma Xiaotao threatened until she saw Huo Yuhao nod, and she let go of her hand with satisfaction.

"I will try my best to make time."

Huo Yuhao's voice came again.

But he definitely didn't think about wandering around in the Douluo World, he would go to the Pirate World if he was going.

It just so happened that the branch base of the Pirate World was still in a state of disrepair, so it was just right to pull people over to serve as soldiers.

Ma Xiaotao's voice was particularly clear in the morning light, as if with a hint of excitement and expectation.

"Okay, we are ready to go. After the game yesterday, Master Xuan arranged for us to go first and hunt souls all the way to the Star Dou Great Forest."

Her words were like the first ray of sunshine in the morning.

This change from cloudy to sunny, obviously, Huo Yuhao's promise made her feel a lot better.

However, if she knew that Huo Yuhao was thinking of pulling her as a soldier, she would probably fight with Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.

"There are also several members of the royal family traveling with us, and they all go to hunt souls with us."

Ma Xiaotao continued.

As Ma Xiaotao narrated, Huo Yuhao's thoughts gradually became clear.

He understood that this was not only a cooperation between the major forces led by Shrek.

It should be related to the soul system.

The two walked out of the Xinghuang Hotel. The air was filled with a faint scent of grass and trees, and the sun cast mottled light and shadows through the leaves.

Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao soon reunited with Xuanzi and others who had been prepared.

However, when they came to the outside of the city, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt doubtful.

He looked around and found that the people who were supposed to set out with them were not as complete as expected, but seemed a little deserted.

"Where are the others?"

"Did they go back first?"

Huo Yuhao was a little surprised.

Because last time they clearly said that they would go soul hunting together, and it just happened to be a break after the competition.

"I took all those who didn't get the soul ring requirements this time, so now there are only you, Xiaoxiao, Ling Luochen, and a few members of the royal family."

Yan Shaozhe's voice was like a breeze, breaking Huo Yuhao's meditation.

Perhaps he saw Huo Yuhao's doubts, and his hand pointed to the few people standing in front, as if he was unveiling a mysterious veil for Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of his finger. Several young members of the royal family were nodding slightly with a polite smile, but that smile was a little distant.

Several members of the royal family introduced themselves one after another. Their martial spirits were unique, but their potential was obviously not high.

In this royal family full of glory and power, obviously, their status was not high, so they participated in this first batch of soul experiments.

Although these young royal family members were in high positions, they were just pawns in the royal power game and could not choose their own fate.

"You all came for this soul experiment, right?" Huo Yuhao finally spoke, with a hint of concern in his tone.

"Yes."

"We were ordered by the emperor to participate in this experiment, but we all have our own ideas in our hearts."

"I hope to find a stronger martial spirit through this experiment."

"I want to surpass the expectations of my family and become an independent soul master."

Huo Yuhao stood on an open grassland, and several royal family members dressed in gorgeous clothes surrounded him with different expressions.

What made Huo Yuhao wonder was that their goals were not the same, and they were not all "abandoned" by the royal family.

Many of them came here on their own initiative.

Perhaps it was because the performance of the souls of Shrek Academy in the All-Continent High-level Soul Master Competition received widespread attention.

Many people began to realize the importance of souls and planned to take this opportunity to improve their potential.

"I will do my best to help you."

As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of several royal family members, and then they nodded one after another, and the smiles on their faces seemed to become much more sincere.

Although Huo Yuhao said this, his family knew his own business.

They knew that their status in the Xingluo royal family was not high, and being on good terms with Huo Yuhao did not mean that they could gain any substantial benefits.

On the contrary, if they offended Huo Yuhao, the consequences would be disastrous.

Huo Yuhao's identity was not only an excellent soul master, but also a representative of the powerful Shrek Academy behind him.

And the direct members of the Xingluo royal family would not tolerate the opportunity for collateral members to threaten their status.

At this moment, a young man with a slender figure and outstanding temperament walked out of the crowd. His eyes were firm and confident, as if he was the dazzling sunshine on this piece of grass.

The man smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to Huo Yuhao: "Hello, I am Xu Mingyu."

Huo Yuhao held his hand and felt the warmth and strength.

Xu Mingyu is the eldest son of Xu Jiawei, the eldest son of Xu Jiawei. He came here not only because he had just reached the age to obtain the fourth soul ring, but also to make friends with Huo Yuhao.

But in fact, his talent is not as good as Xu Jiawei's sister Xu Jiujiu.

"Okay, now that we have introduced ourselves, let's go first."

"Yuhao, car."

Qian Duoduo, who had not spoken, said after the conversation.

Huo Yuhao heard this and reached out to the soul guide, and a huge pure white RV appeared.

As soon as the huge white RV appeared, many "uninformed" royal children exclaimed.

In fact, it's not their fault that they are ignorant.

Although the soul guide technology in the Douluo world is not as deformed as that in the Pirate World, there is no technology applied to people's livelihood.

But it's not much better.

Even if many Douluo residents have reached the technological level of Douluo, which has developed soul guide screens and soul guide cannons, many civilians still starve to death.

Even the poor who can become soul masters are pitifully few.

It can be said that the overall social structure is in a state of regression.

There was no conversation along the way. Because Huo Yuhao was too lazy to waste time waiting, the RV kept moving at full speed.

The scenery on the road flashed by, and there was almost no stopping at any place.

It took just over a day to reach the outskirts of the Xingdou Great Forest from Xingluo Imperial City.

Unfortunately, everyone's luck was a bit bad.

It started to rain heavily as soon as they arrived at the Xingdou Great Forest.

The rain was gently hitting the window, accompanied by low thunder, and the whole sky was covered by heavy dark clouds.

In the RV, because of the heavy rain, several people chose to wait until the rain stopped before hunting souls.

"Yuhao, why does your soul guide feel like a level 7 soul guide, flying so fast."

Qian Duoduo muttered dissatisfiedly, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.

He looked at the disciple in front of him, feeling both surprised and helpless.

Obviously half a month ago, Huo Yuhao was only a level 5 soul guide, but today he seemed to have grown a lot overnight. The soul guide he made looked like a level 5 soul guide, but its speed was not much worse than the level 7 soul guide he made.

Even he himself could not understand it.

Huo Yuhao's smile became brighter and brighter, as if he was enjoying the sense of accomplishment at this moment.

He gently shook the soul guide in his hand, feeling the power and agility in it, and was secretly proud of himself.

"Hehe, Lao Deng, the Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, you have to work hard, otherwise when I surpass you, I guarantee to cut off your beard."

There was a bit of provocation in his voice, as if he was challenging Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo's mouth twitched slightly, and a burst of anger surged in his heart, but he still resisted the urge to fight back.

After all, there were not only the two of them in this RV, but also other classmates and teachers.

He didn't want to appear too out of control at this time, so he tried to suppress his anger and chose to save some face for Huo Yuhao.

But his eyes did not let Huo Yuhao go, and he glared at him fiercely, as if hinting.

"I'll deal with you when we return to the academy."

His eyes were as sharp as lightning, but Huo Yuhao just smiled, as if he didn't care about Qian Duoduo's threat at all.

He knew in his heart that after this soul hunting, his strength was no longer the same as before.

In contrast, Qian Duoduo was only an eighth-level soul mentor. If the two fought, the winner might not be clear.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's heart was full of confidence, and even a little expectation.

"You kid, you really don't take me seriously anymore."

Qian Duoduo finally couldn't help it, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a helpless smile.

Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he appreciated and expected Huo Yuhao more.

This disciple really made him look at him with new eyes.

"It's not that I don't take you seriously, but I want to encourage you, Lao Deng."

"Imagine one day, surpassing Master's Wife and enjoying a good time, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Huo Yuhao pretended to be serious, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

He knew that although Qian Duoduo was angry on the surface, he was proud of his growth deep down.

"You kid, you are getting more and more slick."

Qian Duoduo shook his head, but warmth surged in his heart.

He didn't care about his disciple's offense, or in other words, they had always dealt with him in this way, and it was precisely because of this that he really regarded Huo Yuhao as his own child.

"However, don't be too complacent. There is a long road ahead. The further you get to the back, the harder it will be to break through. If you want to catch up with me, you are still far away!"

Qian Duoduo suddenly became serious, with a firm light shining in his eyes.

Although he knew that Huo Yuhao was very talented and would not be blindly arrogant, he still gave him a warning to prevent Huo Yuhao from flying too high and accidentally falling down.

"Wait for me, Lao Deng."

Huo Yuhao raised a smile at the corners of his mouth, and his eyes shone with fiery anticipation.

The sound of rain outside the window gradually weakened, and the thunder gradually faded away.

"Okay, don't wait any longer, hurry up and get ready, we have to go hunting for souls."

Qian Duoduo interrupted Huo Yuhao's thoughts.

Huo Yuhao nodded.

"Lao Deng, after the soul hunting, do you want to go to the arena?"

"Don't worry, I will save you some face."

Huo Yuhao's voice was clear and confident, with a naughty smile on his lips.

"Come here, traitor, it's time to show your majesty as a master!"

Qian Duoduo refused to admit defeat, but it made waves in his heart.

He knew that Huo Yuhao's strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and he would definitely become stronger after reaching the realm of the Sixth Ring Soul Emperor.

"Damn it, I won't be able to defeat this guy after he becomes the Sixth Ringed Soul Emperor, right?"

Qian Duoduo muttered secretly, feeling a chill in his heart.

He thought of the hundred thousand year old soul rings and soul bones on Huo Yuhao, how rare and powerful they were, as if he was the darling of fate, destined to write his own legend on this continent.

"Is this the trouble of teaching a genius?"

Qian Duoduo sighed in his heart. The Huo Yuhao in front of him made him feel extremely proud, but also extremely helpless.

He understood that the efforts he had put in on this road might seem insignificant in front of Huo Yuhao.

Teaching such a heaven-defying genius was originally the honor he yearned for, but now it has turned into a shadow in his heart.

But no matter what, Huo Yuhao is his disciple.

Being able to teach such a disciple is a great honor for any teacher.

Even, because of Huo Yuhao's existence, the entire Shrek Academy will have greater glory.

He will also leave a mark in the history of Shrek Academy because of Huo Yuhao.

"Okay, I'm just waiting to see how you save face for me!"

There was a hint of excitement in Lao Deng's voice, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, all worries and uneasiness seemed to have been dispelled by Huo Yuhao's determination, replaced by expectations and confidence in the future.

Just as he said.

He waited for Huo Yuhao to surpass him.
