Chapter 186 Let me say a few words on behalf of the Duke's Mansion (two in one)

Dong dong dong——

At noon the next day, after hearing a gentle knock on the door, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but have a look of doubt on his face.

He stood up and opened the door. After seeing the figure standing at the door, he subconsciously asked.

"Dean Immortal, what's the matter?"

"Two people from the Noumenon Sect came to me and said they wanted to meet you."

Speaking of this hidden sect that usually did not reveal its landscape, Xian Liner's face was obviously a little solemn.

"Are you going to meet them?"

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized that he recalled that Lang Ya and Yu Tao came to him at the same time in his previous life. Although he did not appear much in this life, Xiao Lixuan was already in a state of being rewarded by the Noumenon Sect, so he would naturally receive special attention. In addition, in yesterday's battle, he directly showed the characteristics of the second awakening of the silver level, so it can only be said that it is excusable that he was approached now.

Speaking of which, with the lessons learned from Xiao Lixuan's betrayal, will the Noumenon Sect still invite him to join this time?

"Since they are all here, let's go and have a look. We must make things clear."

"Then remember to stay with me later. The Noumenon Sect is unscrupulous in their actions, and I'm worried that they will do something to you."

"Okay, thank you, Dean Immortal."

Following Xian Lin'er all the way downstairs, Huo Yuhao soon saw the two very eye-catching figures on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

One of them has a very strong right arm, which looks more than twice as strong as his left arm. The other one has a huge head and a very thin body, which looks a bit nondescript.

Naturally, the two of them noticed him immediately, following him closely with slightly scrutinizing eyes, and their expressionless expressions made it impossible to guess what they were thinking.

After following Xian Lin'er to sit down on the sofa opposite the two of them, Huo Yuhao got straight to the point.

"I heard that two seniors are looking for me. What's the matter?"

"I believe that our identity, Senior Martial God, has been told to you. Don't worry, we don't have any malicious intent in coming here this time. Before we get down to business, we would like to congratulate you on your upcoming victory in the Soul Master Competition."

While talking, Lang Ya, who looked like a big-headed doll, took out a storage ring from the storage space and pushed it towards Huo Yuhao.

".What's this?"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't reach out to pick it up, Lang Ya explained warmly.

"This is the first thing we came to see you for. I'm afraid you don't know. Let me explain to you first. Xiao Lixuan was once a disciple of our Noumenon Sect, but later he betrayed the sect and joined the Sun and Moon Empire. This matter Senior Martial God should have heard about it, after all, our Noumenon Sect issued a reward for Xiao Lixuan several years ago."

As soon as these words came out, Huo Yuhao had no reaction, but Xian Lin'er on the side looked like she suddenly realized something.

"No wonder, I was wondering before why Xiao Lixuan, the captain of the Sun and Moon Team, would awaken his martial soul for the second time. Now it makes sense."

This bounty amount is as high as 10 million gold soul coins. It can be said that it caused quite a stir a few years ago, and she has naturally heard about it.

But time passed so long that even after hearing Xiao Lixuan's name, she couldn't remember that this guy was the one who was offered a reward by the Noumenon Sect.

"That's right. Now that you have killed him and completed the reward, the reward will naturally be yours."

Looking at Huo Yuhao in front of him, Lang Ya pushed the ring in his hand towards him again while speaking.

"There is a shadow lynx right leg bone inside. It is about 40,000 years old. After our investigation, the soul skill produced should be more suitable for agility attack type soul masters. It is yours now."

Although the shadow lynx is not a very powerful group among the soul beasts, it is definitely an excellent choice for speed-type soul masters. Coupled with the forty thousand years, its value is definitely one More than ten million gold soul coins.

".If that's the case, then I'll accept it. Thank you, senior."

This time Huo Yuhao did not refuse. Although he did not kill Xiao Lixuan for the reward, since the other party came to his door, he naturally would not refuse.

"This is what you deserve. No need to thank me. Next is the second thing."

Speaking of this, Lang Ya paused for a moment, glanced at Xian Lin'er subconsciously, and then slowly spoke.

"Even if our sect disciples don't show much publicity on weekdays, but they are famous, you should have heard about some situations in our Noumenon Sect. I can tell you with confidence that our Noumenon Sect is not only powerful, but also has great influence on the Noumenon Martial Spirit. The level of understanding is also unmatched by any force. This time I came to find out that you are the Noumenon Martial Spirit, so I invite you to return to the Noumenon Sect. "

"You also saw Xiao Lixuan yesterday. He completed the second awakening of the silver level under the training of our Noumenon Sect. Although I don't know how you did it, you were able to activate the silver level on your own without joining the sect. The second awakening is extremely rare in the nearly 10,000-year history of Noumenon Sect, but the silver level is not the pinnacle. There is the gold level above this. With your talent, it is entirely possible to reach that level. "

Ignoring Xian Lin'er's suddenly gloomy expression, Lang Ya leaned forward slightly, looked at Huo Yuhao with burning eyes, and continued in a seductive voice.

"But you also know that no matter how good your talent is, it needs to be properly cultivated in order to be fully utilized. It is no exaggeration to say that there is no one other than our Noumenon Sect who can do this. If you continue to stay at Shrek , it will only be a waste of resources and a waste of talent.”

"."

After a brief silence, Huo Yuhao blinked his eyes, chuckled and spoke.

"Thank you for the promotion, senior, but I still prefer to be more free and have no idea of ​​joining the sect."

"But."

Before Lang Ya could speak again to persuade him, the dark-faced Xian Lin'er on the side suddenly burst out with the aura of a super Douluo and directly blocked his words.

"Both of you, Yuhao is still my Shrek student. If he agrees, I won't say anything more. But since he has already stated that he doesn't want to join, if the two of you continue to be entangled, the situation may not be good. Looks good.”

Even if they dig her baby bump in front of her, they even try to trample Shrek in a different way. Do these two people really think that she has a good temper?

Feeling the terrifying pressure that shrouded his body, Lang Ya's face looked ugly to the naked eye. Although he and Yu Tao could gain the upper hand among their peers with their own martial souls, their cultivation was only Contra after all. Facing Xian Lin'er, who was at level ninety-five, could only give in.

Of course, you still have to let go of harsh words before you leave.

"I was rude about this matter, but it is of great importance. I will report it to our sect master after I return. I believe that it won't be long before he visits Shrek in person."

After saying that, he looked at Huo Yuhao again, and his tone suddenly became softer again.

"Huo Yuhao, maybe you think that my status in the Noumenon Sect is not high, and the promises I have made are of little weight, but I will never lie about your talent. As long as I report this matter, the sect leader will definitely attach great importance to you. I hope Could you please consider my proposal carefully? Farewell."

Seeing the two people leaving without looking back, Huo Yuhao felt a little disapproving.

On the surface, the other party seems to respect personal wishes, but in fact, this is not the case at all. If Xian Lin'er hadn't been following him, if he hadn't shown the ability to kill Contra in the game, the two of them would have been like each other. He was kidnapped just like in the previous life.

As for the so-called promotion to the gold level and second awakening, it has no appeal to him.

Not to mention that he had the experience of advancing from the silver level to the gold level in his previous life. After absorbing the martial soul stripped off by Xiao Lixuan yesterday, his spiritual eyes had actually been promoted to the gold level.

You must know that his current cultivation level is only Soul Master. If this cultivation level is placed on other body martial soul soul masters, let alone the awakening gold or silver level, I am afraid that he will not even be qualified for the second awakening.

Even in the nearly 10,000-year history of the Noumenon Sect, Huo Yuhao is the only one. Even in this life, he has the possibility of making further progress on the basis of the gold level.

Huo Yuhao once thought about a question: Why can the martial soul of the previous life only reach the gold level after awakening for the second time?

Now, combined with the experience of two lives, he already has the answer in his mind.

To put it simply, the second awakening of the original martial spirit is a process of stimulating the potential of one's own martial spirit.

This process can be seen as an exam with a perfect score of 100 points. If someone scores 100 points, the second awakening will be the silver level. If someone scores 60 points, the second awakening will be the bronze level.

The reason why only those who have awakened to the Silver level for the first time are qualified to advance to the Gold level. To describe it in one sentence, some people can get 100 points because their strength can only get 100 points, but some people can only get 100 points. The reason for getting 100 points is because the full score of the test is only 100 points.

Those who awakened for the first time at the silver level may have martial soul potentials of 120, 130, or even 150, and it is these invisible scores exceeding 100 that determine whether they can succeed from Silver is promoted to Gold level.

If the gold level awakening is compared to one hundred and eighty points, then those beings whose original martial soul potential exceeds one hundred and eighty points only need to practice and upgrade step by step to fully stimulate their potential, and they can smoothly advance from the silver level to gold. class.

And those who have a martial soul potential of 150 points may need to obtain some heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can improve the quality of their martial souls in the process of hard training. In this way, they can also reach 180 points. Advance to gold level.

But those with 110 points and 120 points are very difficult, and this is why the promotion methods are the same, but not every silver level can advance to the gold level.

As for why Huo Yuhao feels that he can improve on the gold level in this life, it is because he awakened to the gold level much earlier than in his previous life.

For example, a person's martial soul potential is only 180, and he gradually improves to the title Douluo level step by step. After fully developing his martial soul, he will naturally reach the gold level threshold.

And this also indirectly explains why the promotion from silver to gold level usually occurs when the titled Douluo is around the cultivation level, because for most top-level souls, the limit of the potential of the soul may be around one hundred and eighty. .

Thinking about it now, although his spiritual eyes were also top-level martial arts in his previous life, he should have improved his martial soul's potential by seeing through the autumn dew. Otherwise, he might not have been able to be promoted to gold level at level eighty at that time.

Looking at his current situation from this conclusion, the soul master cultivation level is at the gold level for the second awakening, and his spiritual eye martial soul potential is conservatively estimated to be upwards of 400. When the cultivation level is high in the future, the martial soul potential will be increased. With more development, it is really possible to surpass the gold level.

It can be said that from this moment on, he has reached the forefront of the original martial soul and is walking on an unprecedented path.

"Then Dean Immortal, I will go back first..."

Huo Yuhao stood up. Before he could finish his words, he noticed a group of Sun Moon Team members coming down the stairs.

Because the team had already lost to Shrek in the semifinals, as losers, they naturally had no chance to continue staying at the Star Emperor Hotel.

After a day of packing their luggage, the boys and girls who were preparing to go home also took off their Sun Moon College uniforms and put on their daily travel clothes.

The one who attracted the most attention among the crowd was naturally Meng Hongchen. Her upper body was in a short-sleeved shirt with a special pattern, revealing two white arms. Her chest was perfectly curved by her already sizable figure. , the lower body is tightly wrapped by a slightly slim trousers, outlining the outline of the slender legs.

The overall style is not fancy, but it fully demonstrates the youthful atmosphere of a girl.

As if she didn't expect to see Huo Yuhao before leaving, Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes widened subconsciously, and then she looked at Xiao Hongchen with surprise on her face. Although she didn't say anything, the meaning she wanted to express was self-evident.

"..."

The corners of Xiao Hongchen's mouth twitched, but due to the previous bet, he finally nodded in agreement.

"Ten minutes at most."

After saying that, he first gave Huo Yuhao a warning look, as if he was wary of a pervert who seemed to be plotting against his sister, and then turned to explain to the two leading teachers.

After receiving a positive answer, Meng Hongchen naturally strode towards Huo Yuhao happily.

Xian Lin'er on the side didn't know what was going to happen next. She raised the corners of her lips and raised her hand to pat Huo Yuhao's shoulder.

"It seems that our first friendly exchange between Shrek and Mingdetang will start with you, Yuhao. I happen to have something to do next, so I won't disturb you."

After saying that, she walked away quickly without looking back under Huo Yuhao's dull gaze.

As for Huo Yuhao's safety, she wasn't particularly worried. Not to mention that he was still at the Star King Hotel. It was impossible for the other party to do something in a place like this. As someone who had experienced it, she could still see whether Meng Hongchen's little thoughts were true. Got it.

Moreover, the girl in front of her was the granddaughter of the master of Mingde Hall, and she had been favored since she was a child. Huo Yuhao had already shown his strength in killing Soul Douluo in competitions, so Jing Hongchen was crazy enough to use his granddaughter to set up a trap.

"..."

Huo Yuhao had a bitter look on his face when he saw Xian Lin'er, who had just sold him, disappearing at the top of the stairs.

"Obviously you would smile and say hello every time you saw me before, why are you looking sad today?"

A slightly dissatisfied voice came from his ears. Huo Yuhao subconsciously turned his head and looked at Meng Hongchen who came to him unknowingly. A polite smile appeared on his face and he asked awkwardly.

"Good afternoon, Miss Meng. Do you want to see me for anything?"

"Don't you know what I want from you? Or...are you asking knowingly?"

Meng Hongchen asked back. After he sat down on the sofa opposite, his eyes filled with curiosity, wonder, and many other emotions fell on Huo Yuhao, as if he wanted to see through him. He didn't restrain himself until the waiter brought the tea. .

"Do you want to hear an unorthodox explanation or a serious explanation?"

Before Huo Yuhao could make a choice, Meng Hongchen leaned forward slightly, staring directly into his eyes with a pair of beautiful eyes, as if he had completely forgotten that he had overheard the conversation two days ago, and said with a smile.

"The serious explanation is that I think you are good-looking and talented, so I want to be friends with you."

"The unreasonable explanation is that I am about to return home. I want to find out more about you, the captain of the Shrek team."

"After all, you should be no more than fifteen years old. Maybe we will be opponents in the next competition. After all, this time we players were eliminated before we even had time to test, so I can only look for opportunities like this... …”

Speaking of this, Meng Hongchen paused and asked in a meaningful tone.

"Are you satisfied with my answer?"

Huo Yuhao was a little stunned. No, are your serious and non-serious answers reversed?

As if being amused by Huo Yuhao's appearance, the corners of Meng Hongchen's lips couldn't help but curl up a little.

"Or do you think that as the granddaughter of the master of Mingde Hall, I can't be friends with you, a top student at Shrek? Should we hate each other and shout to kill each other as soon as we meet?"

"If I thought so, I wouldn't be here to tell you this, right?"

Huo Yuhao laughed and shook his head, paused for a moment, and then spoke again.

"I just feel a little emotional, you have a good brother and a good grandfather..."

Meng Hongchen paused slightly while drinking tea. After a brief moment of sluggishness, she glanced at Xiao Hongchen, who was eavesdropping behind the pillars in the hall, and spoke with a hum.

"My brother kept saying bad things about you in front of me, and you actually praised him so much...How did you come to this conclusion?"

Huo Yuhao remained silent, gently picking up the hot tea in front of him and staring at the slight ripples, as if he was thinking about how to explain it.

Meng Hongchen was not in a hurry. He took the spoon and stirred the tea, quietly waiting for the answer.

"In my opinion, so-called development and growth are not the same thing. The former may only require the passage of time, but the latter is often accompanied by pain worth remembering and experiencing, which remains on the body like a brand. From your appearance, I think you must be well protected."

Seemingly touched by this unexpected answer, Meng Hongchen looked at him deeply and snorted.

"It sounds nice, but you think I haven't suffered and don't seem to have grown up. Why, I act very childish?"

"It's not certain whether I am childish or not, but it is certain that I have lived a carefree life since childhood."

Huo Yuhao just smiled gently and asked back.

"And who can say for sure whether growth after suffering is good or bad?"

"As a person who has experienced it, your grandfather protects you from experiencing the pain that is enough to make you grow. From this point of view, in his heart, this is not a good thing, isn't it?"

Silence fell quietly.

After a long while, Meng Hongchen came back to his senses and asked in an inexplicable tone.

"...What about you?"

"Ah?"

Meng Hongchen leaned forward again, closing the distance between them a little, and asked word by word while looking at Huo Yuhao's beautiful blue eyes.

"Do you think I'm good or bad like this?"

"Uh..."

Huo Yuhao was a little speechless, and after a long time of grumbling, he finally expressed his thoughts.

"I can't give you an answer, but I think that if you are like a boring adult in everything you encounter, from the perspective of interests, you shouldn't be able to make any friends, right?"

After looking up and down at Meng Hongchen, Huo Yuhao raised the corners of his lips and revealed a heart-throbbing smile.

"At least I'm happy to make friends with you now."

"..."

Looking at Meng Hongchen staring at him blankly, Huo Yuhao touched his face in a daze.

"Is there something on my face?"

"No, nothing."

It was difficult to move his eyes away from Huo Yuhao's face, and he saw Meng Hongchen pick up the teacup as if nothing had happened, drink the tea in the cup, and stand up.

"It's getting late, and we should set off to return to the Sun Moon Empire. I look forward to seeing you again later."

"Ah, there will be a chance."

Huo Yuhao suddenly realized and nodded with a smile.

"Goodbye."

Two days later.

In the early morning, when the sky just turned pale, more than 100,000 people gathered on Xingluo Square, and the crowds looked like a black wave.

The unprecedented appearance of the 100,000-year soul ring, coupled with the fact that one of the final teams was from the local Xingluo Royal Academy, the scene of this soul master competition finals can be said to be unprecedented.

"Don't be too heavy-handed later, and try to fight as long as possible in the team battle."

Just like this day in his previous life, the sky was overcast, and fine raindrops fell on his face. Huo Yuhao walked on the way to the competition venue, earnestly admonishing the people behind him.

Because the audience had already been refunded once in the semi-finals, it would not be a good influence if the finals were to be held in the same way again, so Xu Jiawei personally came to the door yesterday, hoping to play a show match, at least to make those laymen feel that the ticket price was worth it.

The Shrek students naturally had no objection to this. They all came to participate in the Soul Master Competition. Who doesn't want to experience the feeling of being the center of attention?

As the two teams slowly entered the venue, the atmosphere on the scene gradually became more intense. Just as Xu Jiawei on the high platform was about to start his speech, a deep voice filled with solemnity suddenly rang out.

"Your Majesty, can I say a few words on behalf of the Duke's Mansion before the game starts?"
