Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills
Chapter 561 Huo Yuhao wakes up and the candidate is determined
Chapter 561 Huo Yuhao wakes up and the candidate is determined (two in one)
“Dong’er and I are half-siblings!?”
“Do not!!!”
“No!”
Huo Yuhao woke up from the created illusion, opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up from the sofa with his upper body.
At this moment, the thrilling scene in the illusion seemed to be still vivid in his mind, making his back wet and his forehead dripping with cold sweat. He subconsciously raised his hand to wipe it off, and then he gradually came to his senses and realized that he had returned to reality.
After thinking this through, the pain and fear he had felt when he heard the news gradually faded away, and his eyes became clear. Now, he had time to look around and found himself in an elegantly decorated room that was very much in line with the style of the sect.
“Am I…returning to the sect?”
He pressed the sofa under him, trying to recall what happened in his mind, and gradually remembered that before he fell into the illusion, he was on the Sea God Island of Shrek Academy, by the Sea God Lake.
“Yuhao, you’re awake.”
At this moment, the voice of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm rang in his mind.
Huo Yuhao quickly calmed down his mind and brought his consciousness to the sea of spirits. However, he found that the seven spirits were all looking at him with smiles on their faces… Well, perhaps only Bajiao and Evil Eye, who were in their original form, could not see it, but under the tacit understanding that could be said to be telepathic, Huo Yuhao always felt that the two of them were also laughing at him.
So he turned his attention to his brother Tianmeng.
There is no other reason,
Only the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had the widest grin on its face, with the most inexplicable expression, which even gave Huo Yuhao a special feeling of uneasiness.
So, “Brother Tianmeng, what are you laughing at!?”
For some reason, Huo Yuhao began to feel a little nervous.
However, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm just smiled, because before he could open his mouth, a scorpion tail quickly and skillfully pulled out, and blew him away in the accustomed gaze of the other souls.
“Puff-“
A sound of falling into the water was heard, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm fell directly into the “seawater” of the spiritual sea. Then, Bingdi’s voice, which seemed to be a reprimand, but was actually a forced suppression of his laughter, sounded, “Still laughing! Show Yuhao some respect.”
“Wow–“
A hand stretched out from the “sea water” first, followed closely by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm’s head. The smile disappeared, replaced by a look of grievance. He looked at Bingdi, “But Bingbing, when Yuhao was in the illusion just now, you were the one who laughed the loudest.”
“If you don’t believe me, ask everyone. You are all rolling on the ground…”
“Shh-“
Before Tianmeng Bingcan could finish his words, a chill swept through his body, freezing him into an ice cube. As for Bingdi…he was now clenching his fists and hugging his chest, his cheeks flushed with shame.
Obviously, he was annoyed by Tianmeng’s truth.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao also understood everything. His expression changed slightly, “So, everything I experienced in the illusion was seen by you guys without missing a single detail?”
Except for Tianmeng, the remaining six souls looked at each other.
“Okay, I admit I laughed.”
“Well…it’s actually quite exciting.”
“I find it quite attractive.”
“Yuhao, the love between you and Dong’er in the fantasy world makes me feel very warm. I think it’s similar in reality.”
With every word spoken by each soul, Huo Yuhao became stiffer. Finally, he looked at Bajiao and Xieyan who had not spoken yet, as if his eyes were the last hope.
“Uh–“
Bajiao was slightly stunned, as if he was thinking.
After a moment, “Don’t worry, we know it’s fake.”
At last,
The evil eye’s words are as frugal as gold, but they are fatal.
“It’s really ridiculous.”
hum-
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao’s consciousness felt a roar.
Done!
I suddenly want to die!
“Yuhao! Yuhao! Are you okay?”
“Ahem, that’s just fake, fake.”
“…”
Under the persuasion of the souls, Huo Yuhao gradually came back to his senses. But he did not stay for long, and directly withdrew his consciousness from his spiritual sea, leaving the souls staring at each other in bewilderment.
(Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: Hey, don’t forget me. I’m still frozen by my dear Bingbing! Remember to “feed me peanuts”!
At this moment, just as Huo Yuhao exited the sea of consciousness and was doubting his life, the door of this room was suddenly knocked “dong dong dong” and then pushed open with a “creak”.
Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chen Junting pushing the door open. Seeing Huo Yuhao wake up, Chen Junting showed an expression of being accustomed to it and said calmly with a smile on his face: “You’re awake.”
As he spoke, he walked forward and handed Huo Yuhao a bottle of water, saying, “Look at how much you’re sweating. Drink some water and relax.”
Huo Yuhao naturally didn’t need to be polite to Chen Junting. As he took the water and gulped it down, Chen Junting also answered him where he was and why he was lying on the sofa. “After you fell into the illusion, I asked Lao Gu to take you to the Nine Treasures Pavilion. Lying on the sofa and ‘dreaming’ is better than lying on a stone bench.”
After Chen Junting watched him drink a few sips of water, he continued to ask, “After experiencing the things in the illusion, how do you feel? Are you sure you can perfect your own soul skills?”
Huo Yuhao swallowed the water in his mouth, his eyes determined.
“confident!”
The confidence in his eyes was almost overflowing.
But before Chen Junting could react with satisfaction, Huo Yuhao’s confident look changed, replaced by a look of resentment. This look made Chen Junting feel guilty.
“Brother Jun Ting, do you know everything that happened in the illusion? Was it generated on its own, or did you compile it?”
“Cough-cough-“
Chen Junting coughed dryly, “Look at what you said.”
His tone slowed down, and he was secretly unreasonable, but he was confident on the surface, “I can’t monitor in real time, so how can I know what happened in your illusion. As for how the illusion is generated…”
Then he glanced at the suspicious Huo Yuhao. He didn’t say all that nonsense, but “reserved” a little. “So, I can only say that I only tampered with your illusion at most. After all, you know that an experience is a story, which can be made up in just a few minutes. Right.”
This is true.
Huo Yuhao also agreed with this explanation.
Although his intuition told him that there might be something fishy going on,
But as Jun Ting said, a story cannot be made up in one go. Just like a vernacular story, it takes a long time to polish it.
Moreover, the plots in his illusion had never been heard in any storybooks, so they could be said to be original. As a soul master, Jun Ting was devoted to cultivation, so he had no time to study these things.
so…
He did seem suspicious.
But the plot inside really made him feel uncomfortable, and even nauseous. Especially as the villain “Tang San”, he even threatened him with his “mother”.
This is for him to see.
When I think about it, I feel angry!
Chen Junting, who had been paying attention to Huo Yuhao’s emotions, also noticed his restrained but strong anger, which was even mixed with hatred.
At first, these two emotions were in conflict with each other, but as Huo Yuhao regained his senses, the hatred dissipated, leaving only the anger. Chen Junting immediately realized that he was probably recalling a scene in the illusion. The one that fits the description the most is…
Just thinking about it, Chen Junting’s expression became inexplicable.
To be precise, it’s probably complicated.
Because there is only one scenario that fits this situation, that is, “Tang San” used “Huo Yun’er’s” life to threaten Huo Yuhao in the illusion to give up “Wang Dong’er” and at the same time backstab his friends.
This design was not simply designed by Chen Junting to arouse Huo Yuhao’s emotions, but he had his own agenda.
After all, when he ascends to the God Realm in the future, he and Tang San will definitely fall out, and Huo Yuhao will definitely stand on his side once he becomes a god. At that time, Huo Yun’er’s soul will be in Tang San’s hands, which will become the biggest uncertainty. After all, that is his mother, and no one can guarantee what will happen.
There is such a private matter mixed in with the illusion. In addition to giving Huo Yuhao some psychological hints, the most important thing is to see what choice Huo Yuhao will make when encountering this situation.
Regarding this point, Chen Junting is a bit of a “villain”.
He admitted it too.
But we can’t leave hidden dangers, we have to be prepared.
But obviously, the final result satisfied him.
As Huo Yuhao calmed down and put the water bottle aside, Chen Junting asked, “Did you rest well?”
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded and quickly stood up.
“Okay, come out with me.” After Chen Junting finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao hurriedly followed.
As he walked, Chen Junting was still talking.
“I just talked to you for a long time, which made Xiaotian and the others wait there for quite a while. By the way, think about it now. Which seven people do you recommend for the Sea God Family?”
Huo Yuhao was slightly surprised, “I recommend it?”
Does he have this power?
But Chen Junting waved his hand and said:
“It looks more democratic in form. Anyway, seven of us are just like that. Everyone is roughly the same, or even the same.”
This is what I said…
Huo Yuhao’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch slightly.
Soon, the two came to another tea room. At this moment, Ning Tian, Gu Tianchen and Wu Feng were already waiting inside.
Seeing Chen Junting and Huo Yuhao coming in,
“Hurry up and spread the flowers. The flowers I’ve been waiting for have all withered.”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Wu Feng started to complain. Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but smile and put his hands together, then raised them slightly above his head.
“Okay! Sister Xiaofeng, this is my fault.”
“Okay, sit down and talk business.”
Chen Junting pulled the chair away, and at the same time, he turned his body to the side, passed Ning Tian, and put his hand on the back of the chair where Wu Feng was sitting. He gently pulled it, causing Wu Feng, who seemed to be leaning on the back of the chair, to “almost” stagger and “almost” fall to the ground. Before she could react, he scolded her and made her sit down obediently.
“Let’s talk business, don’t sit so awkwardly!”
This made Wu Feng murmur:
“There are no outsiders.”
Chen Junting pretended not to hear, and when Huo Yuhao took a seat, he went straight to the point and said that they wanted to discuss the candidates who would go to the Sea God Family to take the Divine Examination.
At the same time, he asked Ning Tian who was beside him.
“How’s the progress? The preliminary candidates have been decided.”
Then his tone became more serious, “No matter what, this is a test for the gods. From a general perspective, for geniuses, it is the foundation for becoming gods. So the seven people to be selected must not be weaker than the original Shrek Seven Devils in terms of talent, intelligence, and perseverance.”
At this time, Huo Yuhao suddenly gestured.
Seeing this, Chen Junting said, “Yuhao, you go ahead.”
“Should these seven candidates be notified to the Sect Master?”
Originally out of rigor, who would have thought that Ning Tian waved his hand.
“No need.”
“That’s right.”
Chen Junting followed up, “Uncle Ning has said before that Xiaotian and I can make the decision on matters like this.”
“okay I know.”
Chen Junting nodded slightly and looked at Ning Tian and the other two.
“In that case, let’s talk about who to choose.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Tian and the other three, plus Huo Yuhao who already had a general idea, proposed six candidates.
They are Dugu Xin, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, Wu Feng, Gu Tianchen, Ji Juechen, and as for the last candidate…
Ning Tian hesitated slightly and looked at Chen Junting.
“Brother Jun Ting, you are going to…”
“Do not.”
Before Ning Tian could finish his words, Chen Junting waved his hand to refuse. Because he knew what Ning Tian wanted to say, “For me, the Divine Examination is of little significance.” Then he said to Ning Tian:
“You don’t have to go to this divine test, Xiaotian.”
“it is good.”
Ning Tian nodded without hesitation and did not ask the reason, because she knew that Brother Jun Ting would never harm her.
“Since the two of us are not going, then this last person…”
After a little thought, Ning Tian glanced sideways at Chen Junting.
“Is it Gu Yi or Qiu Qiu, or Qin Lan and the others?”
Among the younger generation, those with good talents are almost all here. However, from Ning Tian’s words, it can be heard that among these candidates, she prefers Ye Guyi in her heart, because she has a great potential with the Holy Angel Martial Spirit.
But then again, Ye Guyi’s identity…
In fact, Chen Junting also had doubts about this.
But it was not between Ye Guyi and the Sea God Family. After all, no matter what, just like what the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect did to her, what should have passed was passed, and maybe the Sea God Family didn’t even remember it.
What really worries Chen Junting is that Ye Guyi is a descendant of the Qian Family. Once she goes to the Sea God Family, she will be in Tang San’s territory. Tang San’s influence and thoughts are unpredictable, and no one is sure whether he will be petty and target Ye Guyi.
But in the end, he decided to let Ye Guyi go.
It seems that after the throne of the Angel God was destroyed, Ye Guyi had no possibility of becoming a god. At most, he could become an Extreme Douluo. And since it was almost as difficult as ascending to heaven to become a god, such an existence was like an ant in the eyes of a God King like Tang San, and would not attract too much attention from him.
Thus, the seven candidates were finally determined.
But when Gu Tianchen asked him why he didn’t let Ning Tian go, Chen Junting just said “keep it a secret”. Gu Tianchen felt a little helpless, so he didn’t ask any more questions.
Afterwards, they reported the seven candidates who would take part in the divine examination to the sect, and asked the seven to quickly gather at Shrek Academy.
