Chapter 168 Heaven and Hell 20 (Two in One)

Chapter 168 Heaven and Hell 2.0 (two in one)

Seeing Meng Hongchen's state that was far different from what he remembered, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but have a question mark on his forehead.

The next second, a handsome young man who looked slightly older than him stood in front of Meng Hongchen and looked at him with a cold expression.

Laugh at the mortal world.

Compared to his younger sister, the older brother's reaction was obviously much more normal. After looking Huo Yuhao up and down, Xiao Hongchen raised a provocative smile on his lips.

As if that wasn't enough, he stretched out his thumb and made a wiping motion on his neck.

It's back, it's all back!

It’s this arrogant feeling, and it has to be you, Xiao Hongchen!

Feeling the sense of familiarity rising from the bottom of his heart, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but curl up his lips and thought that he would not be angry because of the provocative behavior of his old rival in his previous life.

Even for this much-anticipated soul master competition, he came here with the mentality of solving the Duke's Mansion along the way.

However, his appearance was full of mockery in Xiao Hongchen's eyes, and his fighting spirit surged for a moment.

He clearly saw the scene where Huo Yuhao was registering as the captain of the team just now.

A boy who looks younger than him can actually become the captain of the Shrek team. If you say you're not curious, it's definitely a lie.

Although the captain may not necessarily be the strongest in the entire team, no matter how you think about it, Shrek would never let such a young boy take this position without purpose.

As he thought about it, Xiao Hongchen narrowed his eyes slightly. Even before the Soul Master Competition officially started, he could already smell the smell of gunpowder smoke that made people's blood boil.

The intuition in his heart made him understand that the boy with a beautiful face in front of him was very likely to be his rival in this competition, or even in the competition five years later!

It wasn't until everyone from Shrek signed up and left, feeling the tense atmosphere slowly receding, that Xiao Hongchen withdrew his gaze.

"Meng, it seems we finally have an opponent."

As he spoke, he subconsciously looked to his side, only to find that his sister's eyes were still closely following Huo Yuhao's back, and she didn't even seem to notice his call.

".Dream?"

"Um?"

As if she finally heard his call, Meng Hongchen reluctantly looked away.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

The corner of Xiao Hongchen's mouth twitched, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked in an inexplicable tone.

"What do you think of that boy just now?"

"What do you think? I think he's quite handsome."

Meng Hongchen tilted his head, subconsciously looked at Huo Yuhao's back as he disappeared into the crowd, and analyzed it seriously.

"Besides, did you notice that when everyone in Shrek's group showed hostility towards us, he was the only one smiling at us? Maybe we can become friends!"

"That's really gratifying!"

Listening to his sister's speech, Xiao Hongchen's face turned darker and darker, and he asked through gritted teeth as if he was squeezing out a sound from between his teeth.

"Since you can see this, Shrek is a neutral academy anyway, why don't we recruit him and see if he is willing to join the Sun and Moon Empire?"

"Um?"

Not hearing the sour tone of his brother, Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up and his tone was full of surprise.

"May I?"

"Is that okay? That's okay!"

Xiao Hongchen finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "We just met, and I can see you can hardly walk! What? Is that kid's smile laced with ecstasy? Just smiling at you almost takes away your soul. gone!?"

"Still being friends? He is from Shrek! Meng Hongchen! Our Hongchen family will be completely embarrassed by you!!!"

"Why are you so angry?"

Facing Xiao Hongchen's anger, Meng Hongchen curled his lips fearlessly.

"Brother, you are thinking too much, okay? What about Shrek's people? We compete in the arena, but we can also be friends in private!"

After saying that, before Xiao Hongchen could open his mouth to retort, she seemed to have thought of something, looked at her always proud brother up and down, and asked with some suspicion.

"Smile, are you jealous that someone else is handsomer than you?"

"You fart!!!"

Being questioned by his sister, Xiao Hongchen, who had not lost his composure in the face of Huo Yuhao's contemptuous attitude just now, turned red quickly, and his angry voice attracted the attention of people around him.

"Am I jealous of his appearance? Is he as handsome as me!?"

"?"

As if he didn't expect that his elder brother would ask such an obvious question, Meng Hongchen just remained silent, but the eyes he looked at him became more and more pitiful.

"."

Looking at his sister who said nothing but seemed to have said everything, Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth.

Just when he suppressed the anger in his heart and was about to say something, Meng Hongchen seemed to have suddenly compromised and spoke on his own initiative.

"Okay, okay, if it's not because of appearance, then it's because of ability?"

Staring at his brother's trembling face with anger, Meng Hongchen blinked his eyes and continued to hit the target unceremoniously.

"Is it because I see others being able to become Shrek's main captain at such a young age, but I can only be ranked as an alternative team, so I feel inferior? It's okay, brother, we are not ashamed, just hide in bed and cry for a while."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Hongchen's roar sounded again.

"Meng Hongchen, get out of here!!!"

Listening to Xiao Hongchen's loud voice, Ma Rulong looked helplessly at the man next to him who was about the same age as him.

"Captain, you don't care about...Captain?"

It was only now that Ma Rulong realized that the man was just like Meng Hongchen, looking in the direction where Shrek and the others were leaving with a slight frown on his face, his eyes full of surprise and uncertainty.

In the distance, hearing the faint roar of Xiao Hongchen coming from behind, Huo Yuhao also frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Are you thinking about how to attack that girl?"

"ah?"

Huo Yuhao subconsciously raised his head and looked at Qiu'er, who had a meaningful expression next to him. He immediately understood what the other party was referring to, and saw him roll his eyes angrily with a calm tone.

"What the hell, Meng Hongchen and I are completely incompatible with each other, okay? What she likes is..."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao seemed to have come back to his senses, and his words suddenly stopped.

... Dong'er seems to be born as a daughter in this life?

"Now you know what the problem is?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao's gaze suddenly drifting towards Wang Dong'er, Qiu'er spoke calmly.

"And has someone forgotten the effects of lust?"

Thinking of the ability called 'All Things Affinity', Huo Yuhao's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. After a brief silence, he shook his head.

"Okay, don't hurt me. You know that's not what I was thinking about just now."

"Hmph, I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, how do I know what you are thinking?"

Qiu'er snorted lightly, but did not continue the topic. Instead, she asked aloud as if she had a clear understanding.

"Captain of Sun and Moon?"

How could Qiu'er, who had seen Huo Yuhao's memories, not notice something was wrong?

Ma Rulong, who had been the main captain of the Sun and Moon Team in his previous life, was not standing at the front of the team this time, but following an ordinary-looking man of similar age.

The most important thing is that Huo Yuhao has no impression of this man.

"Well, I just checked their registration form through mental detection. That person's name is Xiao Lixuan. Judging from the fluctuations of soul power emitted by him, he should be around the Soul Emperor. There was no such person in the Sun and Moon Team in the previous life."

Qiu'er nodded, and then asked pointedly: "Is it that one?"

"I'm not sure if it's the butterfly effect, but the probability is quite high, and regardless of whether it's the butterfly effect, it's definitely someone who comes with bad intentions."

Of course, although he said he was unsure, judging from the current situation and the malice Huo Yuhao felt from Xiao Lixuan, he should be inseparable.

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he recalled everything he observed when he first came into contact.

Although Xiao Lixuan just glanced at the Shrek crowd and then looked away, he still caught a hint of strange emotion in those eyes, but at that time, many people in the Sun Moon Team had surprise in their eyes, which made him unable to proceed. Accurate judgment.

Fortunately, he also kept an eye on it, and after walking away quietly, he chose to use mental detection to observe the situation. As expected, he discovered Xiao Lixuan's obviously unusual eyes.

He observed more than that. Judging from Xiao Hongchen's still proud attitude, although Xiao Lixuan replaced Ma Rulong as the captain of the team, in terms of strength, he should not be much higher than Ma Rulong.

After all, Xiao Hongchen in his previous life had a high opinion of himself because of his talent as a fifth-level soul teacher who was less than fifteen years old. If Xiao Lixuan surpassed him in talent, then Xiao Hongchen would not be as arrogant as in his previous life today, but would be full of fighting spirit. They stared at each other's back.

Of course, it is unknown whether Xiao Lixuan has hidden part of his talent.

"how?"

Noticing that Huo Yuhao was still thinking, Qiu'er couldn't help but cast a sidelong glance at him: "Are you still afraid of playing with soul tools?"

The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Indeed, as Qiu'er said, if Xiao Lixuan relies on martial arts or other abilities, he may still cause some trouble to him.

But what a coincidence, this guy is from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, which proves that what Xiao Lixuan is good at is also the soul guidance tool that he is good at.

As a soul engineer, no matter how talented Xiao Lixuan is in soul guidance, his talent is limited to the soul guidance framework of this era. In the face of his previous life in the God Realm, he has never given up studying, and his attainments in soul guidance have transcended. Huo Yuhao, who has passed the times, is destined to be hit by dimensionality reduction.

Of course, even in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, there might be freaks like Ji Juechen who didn't use soul guidance devices, but when he saw Xiao Lixuan's impure gaze, Huo Yuhao knew that he was not such a person.

"Ahem, you have to be cautious when doing things, and since we have discovered the clues, we naturally have to find an opportunity to test the opponent's strength. You can play in the first game tomorrow."

The reason for this arrangement is not because Huo Yuhao thinks that Shrek will be able to face the Sun and Moon Royal Academy in the first game tomorrow, but because he wants to judge Xiao Lixuan's strength after seeing Qiu'er's strength. To what extent.

As Shrek's trump card, the extremely powerful Soul Emperor with a hundred thousand year soul ring, even a layman knows that this is enough to compete with the Soul Saint.

If Xiao Lixuan remains unmoved after seeing what Qiuer showed, it proves that his strength may be equally comparable to Soul Saint, or even stronger than Soul Saint.

On the contrary, if the opponent's face becomes extremely ugly, it proves that his strength may not be that great, at most he is stronger than Ma Rulong.

"Can."

Qiu'er naturally did not refuse and agreed directly.

After traveling for so long, even though the journey was not very difficult, it still felt like a long journey. After arriving at the hotel, everyone just had dinner and then went into their own rooms with their own agendas.

Then, after taking a shower, they all knocked on Huo Yuhao's door...

It was like a silent war was going on, and the silent room was filled with the faint smell of gunpowder smoke.

"Um...well...there is a game tomorrow. Isn't it a good idea for us to do this?"

Looking at the people who were staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes, no one said anything, a trace of sweat broke out from Huo Yuhao's back again, and he hesitated for a long time before he cautiously suggested.

"I think it's getting late. How about... everyone go back and rest?"

Unfortunately, everyone ignored his words as if they had made an appointment in advance, and didn't even bother to give him a look.

Only the smell of gunpowder smoke became stronger and stronger.

Click——

"Oh, it looks like everyone hasn't left yet."

The bathroom door was pushed open, and Tang Ya's red-faced little head poked out from behind the door with wisps of moisture. Her half-dry black hair fell on her shoulders, looking particularly seductive.

With a smile that made Huo Yuhao a little uneasy, Tang Ya took out the dice cup and a few dice directly from the storage space, shook them towards everyone, and suggested with a smile.

"In this case, why not play a game like last time?"

As soon as these words came out, the silent room suddenly became lively.

"I want to come!"

I saw Wang Donger raising her hands first and saying: "This time I must avenge my shame!"

Zhu Lu, who was pecking at Wang Dong'er, glanced at Huo Yuhao calmly, and then nodded with a blushing face.

"I'll join in too."

"Speaking of which..."

Zhang Lexuan, who had always been calm, glanced at Ma Xiaotao and said meaningfully.

"I haven't decided the winner with Xiao Tao yet in the last game."

Ma Xiaotao raised her lips and accepted Zhang Lexuan's game invitation.

"Senior Sister has said so, so I will accompany you."

Ling Luochen, who was also a disciple of the inner courtyard, was naturally unwilling to be outdone and said in a cold tone.

"Count me in."

Jiang Nannan didn't speak. Before the game started, her toes shrank and became extremely sensitive as she recalled the last experience.

Gu Yuena blinked her eyes and expressed her attitude silently.

Seeing everyone who was silent about his question just now and now eager to give it a try, the smile on Huo Yuhao's face seemed so stiff.

Are you just going to ignore me?

Although it was his first time to play, Qiu'er, who had seen the memories, clearly knew better than Ling Luochen that only Huo Yuhao, who did not participate, was the winner in the entire game.

"I really took advantage of someone..."

After letting out a soft sigh, Qiu'er glanced at her master, who had no martial ethics, and sat down cross-legged directly to join the game.

She would never lose betting on the glory of the Emperor's auspicious beast!

Compared with last time, although there are two more contestants this time, the game process is much reduced.

As for the reason, it's not because of anything else, it's simply because the girls' clothes are a little less than last time...

After all, the previous school uniform consisted of a top and pants, plus underwear and the like, so losing five or six rounds was not a problem.

Now everyone has just taken a shower, and they are all wearing nightgowns. Some people even wear nothing under their nightgowns for some unknown purpose.

Looking at those Doudou whose silhouettes could be seen through their clothes, Huo Yuhao didn't know what to say for a moment.

It is conceivable that if these people lose once, they will no longer be able to play.

Of course, this method was solved quickly. After taking off the clothes, you can change to other punishments.

For example, after being amplified by the senses, he made a small wound on his hand to hone his willpower. Huo Yuhao had already started to implement this kind of thing a month ago. After all, this was also for everyone to absorb the hundred thousand year soul ring earlier. .

It not only determined the winner, but also tempered the willpower. Anyone who saw it would say yes.

It's not like Huo Yuhao has never thought of exercising his willpower in ways other than pain, such as tickling Wang Dong'er.

However, after several attempts, Huo Yuhao found that this method not only did not work, but also had the opposite effect, making them more sensitive, so he chose to give up.

And one thing that is different from the last game is that this time the reward and punishment system is more complete. In addition to punishment, the winner of each round can also receive rewards.

As for the bonus content...

Early the next morning, on the way to Xingluo Square, Xian Liner, who noticed Huo Yuhao's abnormality, couldn't help but asked with some confusion.

"Yuhao, why does your mouth seem to be swollen?"

Huo Yuhao was the treasure of their Soul Guidance Department. If something happened under her nose, she would not have the nerve to go back and explain.

"Ah, it's okay, that's it"

A glimmer of light appeared in Huo Yuhao's hollow eyes. With his thoughts racing, he quickly came up with an excuse.

"I just drank too much water last night and got a little swollen."

".Really?"

A soul master can get swollen from drinking water. Did you drink it from a water tank?

Listening to Huo Yuhao's somewhat numb voice, Xian Lin'er seemed to have thought of something and glanced at everyone obscurely.

After confirming that no female student had the same swollen lips as Huo Yuhao, the confusion on her face became even more intense.

Could it be that he really drank water?

Without thinking too much, she could only give a serious warning.

"It's good that you're fine. No matter what, health is the most important thing, especially during the competition. If there is any situation, you must tell me in time. It's not just Huo Yuhao, but everyone else as well. Do you understand?"

"I understand."

While speaking, Huo Yuhao glared at the people around him who couldn't help laughing.

These guys acted like they hadn't kissed each other in their lifetimes. They took turns. Even if his mouth was made of iron, he couldn't stand such torture.

Especially Zhang Lexuan, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen. They were like a fight, getting more and more fierce each time.

However, the second most fierce ones were not Gu Yuena and Qiu'er, nor Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, but Wang Dong'er and Zhu Lu.

At first, these two were more restrained, but as they lost most of the time and could only watch others attack frantically, they suddenly became anxious.

The shyness in his heart had long disappeared under the stimulation of gunpowder, and was replaced by a strong desire for possession of the spoils.

After waiting for them to win once, they wanted to use all their skills when kissing, as if they wanted to make up for all the losses before.

What a hell.

Huo Yuhao sighed in his heart. If he hadn't wanted to observe Xiao Lixuan's reaction, he wouldn't want to go out and see people today.

Xiao Xiao was just as confused as Xian Lin'er. After a brief hesitation, she subconsciously looked at Wang Dong'er beside her.

"Did something happen last night that I don't know about?"

"Ahem."

After last night's kiss, Wang Dong'er felt that she had leapt ahead of Xiao Xiao in matters between men and women. At this moment, facing Xiao Xiao's question, she was shy, but a sense of superiority as a senior also appeared on her face, and she spoke in a low voice.

"It's better for you not to know about the affairs between adults."

".?"

While recalling the absurd experience of last night, everyone walked into the competition venue under the attention of the crowd.

On the high platform of the imperial city not far away, the Xingluo Emperor Xu Jiawei narrowed his eyes slightly, scanned everyone one by one, and slowly fell on Huo Yuhao.

"He is Huo Yuhao? So why didn't Tang San come?"

"Your Majesty, according to our informant in Shrek, Tang San, like the other contestants, was not in class. Logically, he should have come to participate in the competition, but now he is not here. Something must have happened on the way."

Listening to the minister's explanation, Xu Jiawei shook his head.

"Forget it, it's not important. Let me see if Huo Yuhao has the potential to make the Xingluo Royal Family apologize for him."

"Ah?"

The minister was slightly stunned: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with us. Do we really have to apologize for it?"

"If I don't plan to apologize, I would have expressed my position directly. Why do I have to pretend to be dumb until now?"

Xu Jiawei snorted coldly and continued: "Does it matter whether we do it or not? Whether to apologize or not is never about whether you have done it, but whether the other party is qualified to ask us to apologize."

"I have never seen Shrek so tough because of any student. Naturally, we have to see what is so outstanding about Huo Yuhao before making plans."

Although he said this, Xu Jiawei's face was a little ugly, not because of Shrek, but because of Dai Hao.

I was lucky that I didn't do anything to him. This guy actually dared to bring the royal family to provoke Shrek!

Although Cheng Gang was a fool, he was still a Titled Douluo. It was conceivable how much the royal family had spent to recruit him. Now not only was all of it wasted, but the royal family had to be involved in this storm.

This matter would definitely not be let go.

The minister seemed to want to say something else, but suddenly noticed the situation below and spoke respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the competition is about to begin, you can give a speech."
