Chapter 272 Departure, Star Forest
“It’s always difficult for someone to enter the heart of a taciturn boy like Huo Yuhao, but once he falls in love with someone, he will even give you all the beautiful things without reservation.”

“Since you like him, just pursue him openly. Huo Yuhao didn’t refuse or take the initiative. If you want to continue, it’s your turn to take the initiative.”

Moon looked at Wang Dong, who was blushing, and teased.

“Who wants to pursue him?”

Wang Dong retorted with a blushing face.

Moon chuckled and didn’t argue with Wang Dong about this issue.

Regardless of whether it was Wang Dong’s own wish or that person’s instigation, it was a foregone conclusion that Wang Dong would get entangled with Huo Yuhao.

Moon wanted to see what that person wanted to do by paying so much attention to Huo Yuhao.

“Wang Dong, you are here.”

Xiao Xiao’s voice sounded, and Wang Dong subconsciously turned his head to look, only to find that Moon had left at some point.

Xiao Xiao trotted to Wang Dong.
“We’ve been looking for you for a long time.”

As he spoke, Xiao Xiao looked around and asked in confusion: “Yuhao is not with you?”

“That guy has probably locked himself up in the soul guidance laboratory by now.”

Wang Dong crossed his arms across his chest and said indignantly.

“By the way, what do you want from us?”

“That’s it.”

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, “Huo Yuhao and He Caitou are back. They are planning to practice teamwork in preparation for the All Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Contest in half a year. Senior Beibei and Senior Xu Sanshi are already here, and the only ones missing are you two.”

“But since Huo Yuhao is busy, we won’t disturb him. The six of us just need to get to know each other. Yuhao’s absence won’t have a big impact.”

After all, judging from the situation in the last Soul Fighting Competition, Huo Yuhao would probably be hiding in the corner to provide mental detection and… back-end support, so there would be no need for Huo Yuhao to take action in a frontal battle.

In this case, it is not impossible to conduct the team drill with or without Huo Yuhao.

Although Xiao Xiao also knew that without Huo Yuhao’s spiritual detection, their performance would drop to a lower level, they could not rely on Huo Yuhao for everything. It would be better for them to hone their own level.

Wang Dong whispered, “Let’s go.”

It doesn’t matter if Huo Yuhao is not here due to some matters. Wang Dong has not figured out how to face Huo Yuhao yet.

As for team cooperation, in fact, it is more of cooperation with He Caitou. After all, except Huo Yuhao and He Caitou, the other five have been in the academy all the time, and they have been practicing and working together a lot on weekdays.

The main part of the running-in is how to cooperate with He Caitou’s soul guide cannon, advance under the cover of the soul guide cannon without getting hurt, and how to maintain a safe distance under He Caitou’s high-powered soul guide cannon.

These are the key points of this run-in. Without Huo Yuhao’s assistance, the efficiency is indeed not good enough. Only now that everyone has soul guide shields and invincible golden bodies can they avoid injuries.

Two days later, early in the morning.

“what–“

Huo Yuhao stretched lazily as he walked out of the laboratory and immediately noticed the paper stuck on the outside of the door.

“Left by Wang Dong?”

At first glance, Huo Yuhao recognized who left the letter. The handwriting was so delicate that it didn’t look like that of a boy. Its characteristics were too distinct.

“Gather this morning and go to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls? Fortunately, we didn’t miss it.”

Huo Yuhao looked out the window. The sun hadn’t risen yet, so Wang Dong was probably still sleeping.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but yawn.

After concentrating on making soul guides for two days in a row, I suddenly relaxed and had nothing to do, and a feeling of fatigue suddenly came over me.

In order to avoid resting too long and missing the time, Huo Yuhao went directly to the gate of Shrek Academy, found a clean place to sit cross-legged, and began to meditate to restore his energy.

……

Tread-tap-

As the sky brightened, people began to move around in front of the academy gate. Therefore, Huo Yuhao did not pay attention to the footsteps in his ears and continued to concentrate on moving his soul power.

Although he has reached a bottleneck, the soul power he has cultivated will still be stored and continue to serve as nutrients for breakthroughs after hunting soul rings. The fact that the fourth soul ring was delayed for a year did not have much impact on Huo Yuhao’s cultivation speed, which is proof of this.

This guy is still working so hard.

Wang Dong, who was standing aside, looked at Huo Yuhao, whose body was covered in dew, and frowned slightly.

After seeing the note on the door of the soul guide laboratory being taken away, Wang Dong knew that Huo Yuhao had come out, so he ran to the gathering point to find Huo Yuhao.

I didn’t expect that Huo Yuhao spent all this time on cultivation.

Looking at the dew on Huo Yuhao’s clothes, he must have maintained this posture for quite some time.

It was a hot summer day and the sun rose early. When most of the residents of Shrek City had not yet woken up from their sleep, a hint of paleness had already appeared on the horizon.

As if he had sensed something, Huo Yuhao subconsciously adjusted his body with his eyes still closed, facing the rising sun, and activated the Purple Demon Pupil the moment the purple air appeared, starting his daily check-in.

Although his immersion in the soul guide resulted in frequent absences, these absences had little impact on Huo Yuhao. With or without Huo Yuhao, he would still be stuck in the second level of the Purple Demon Pupil – subtlety.

If one wants to enter the third realm, in addition to decades of perseverance, the only external force that can be relied upon is the Wangchuan Qiu Shui Lu.

However, Huo Yuhao still chose to practice the Purple Demon Pupil when he had time, because Huo Yuhao vaguely felt that this had subtle hidden benefits for his spirit eye martial spirit.

Perhaps it can subtly improve the quality of martial soul.

Huo Yuhao had just finished training and opened his eyes when a teasing voice rang out: “You’re finally awake. I thought you would only wake up after everyone is gathered and someone calls you.”

“Come so early?”

Huo Yuhao propped himself up and stood up, gently brushing off the dust on his butt.

Wang Dong said unhappily, “Isn’t it because I’m worried that someone might have gotten so carried away with the soul guide that he could even forget something as important as soul hunting?”

As he spoke, Wang Dong took out a handkerchief and handed it to Huo Yuhao: “Here, wipe off the dew on your body.”

“Need not.”

Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, and his soul power shook, and all the dew and dust stuck to his body were shaken off his body surface.

Huo Yuhao, who has become a Soul King, can use his soul power to clean stains on his body. It is no longer like when he first entered school and still needed to take a shower to clean stains on his body.

However, Huo Yuhao would still experience the pleasure of taking a bath when he has time.

Throwing seductive eyes at a blind man. Wang Dong cursed inwardly and put the handkerchief back into the storage soul guide.

This handkerchief is what Wang Dong uses on a daily basis. Huo Yuhao wanted to use it but Wang Dong refused to give it to him.

After glancing at Wang Dong who was in a bad mood, Huo Yuhao finally did not chat with Wang Dong. Instead, he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

It seems that this operation was not smooth. There were three evil soul masters, Soul Douluo, and the wolf ape that produced three right leg bones.

If the situation continues to develop in this way, I might have to use some trump cards to save my life.

An evil soul master at the Soul Douluo level is not afraid of ordinary Titled Douluo, let alone three brothers. Who knows if they have any combined attack skills. If you are not careful, your title may fall into their hands.

Without using the power taught by Master Yi, Huo Yuhao could only barely save his life.

Even so, Huo Yuhao had no intention of asking for reinforcements. With Zhang Lexuan, who had a 100,000-year soul ring, leading a group of inner court disciples who were not even Soul Sages to hunt souls, the security configuration was already high enough. Even if they encountered a 100,000-year soul beast, they would still be able to escape.

What’s more, there is a vice-president who may or may not come, and yet they are still calling for him at this time. The intention is too obvious, as if they are sure that there will be accidents with such a lineup.

In less than half an hour, the seniors who were going to participate in the soul hunt arrived one after another.

As if he sensed something, Huo Yuhao subconsciously opened his eyes and turned his head to look towards the direction of the academy.

In the shining of the morning sun, the golden hair glowed with a brilliant red color like a fiery cloud, which was particularly eye-catching.

Why is this guy here?

Wang Dong frowned on the side.

It’s not Wang Dong’s fault for being sensitive, but Huo Yuhao himself seldom mentions girls he is not familiar with, but he is obviously more interested in Di Rachel.

Di Rachel ignored everyone’s gazes and walked to the other side of the gate on her own. She imitated Huo Yuhao’s actions and leaned against the door wall with her eyes closed to rest.

The appearance of Emperor Rachel undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention. Apart from her stunning appearance, the students in the Inner Academy were more curious about Emperor Rachel’s martial spirit.

The ancestor of power, the Golden Dragon. Even though Shrek has lived for thousands of years, it is the first time that he has encountered such a top-level martial spirit. The opponent even crushed Beibei, who has been a prominent figure since the outer courtyard, with an absolute advantage in one move.

If Di Rachel had not been handling the registration matters for the inner courtyard, warmongers would have come to ask for a duel.

As for why he could participate in Poseidon Fate without signing up? Would the academy reject such a genius who took the initiative to ask to participate?

“Still sleeping.”

Seeing Huo Yuhao retract his gaze and prepare to continue resting, Wang Dong pouted and pulled Huo Yuhao up.

No, buddy, am I bothering you when I squint?
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Dong, causing Wang Dong to turn his head away guiltily.

“By the way, you haven’t had breakfast yet. We are going to hunt souls soon, so you can’t do it without replenishing your energy.”

As he spoke, Wang Dong took out a basket of buns from his storage soul guide and handed them to Huo Yuhao, “Eat them quickly while they’re still hot.”

Don’t I know that I need to replenish my physical strength? After making the soul guide, I must replenish my physical strength as soon as possible.

Huo Yuhao had a helpless look on his face, but he finally accepted Wang Dong’s kindness, took the bun and started eating it.

While Huo Yuhao was eating a bun, the team leader Zhang Lexuan finally arrived, with Cai Meir beside her.

“President Cai.”

All the students saluted, and even Di Rachel straightened up a little, not so casually.

“We are all students from the inner courtyard, and this is not our first time entering the Star Dou Great Forest. Considering that there are new members joining this operation, we should introduce each other and briefly talk about our names, martial spirits, and cultivation levels to facilitate cooperation in the Star Dou Great Forest.”

As she spoke, Cai Meier nodded to Zhang Lexuan. Zhang Lexuan understood and took the lead to say, “My name is Zhang Lexuan, an assistant teacher and student in the inner courtyard. My martial soul is the moon, and I am a strong attack-type combat soul master. This time I will be responsible for leading and commanding the team, and I don’t need soul rings. My soul power level is 86.”

“Han Ruoruo… Martial Soul Huang Jinsheng, Control-type combat soul master… No soul rings required, soul power level 82.”

It was obvious that these two people were originally responsible for providing backup for this operation. Later, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong joined in. Especially Huo Yuhao, who had a low cultivation level and had provoked a group of ferocious beasts in the core area when he entered the Star Dou Great Forest last time, the Shrek executives had to consider sending an additional member of the Poseidon Pavilion to escort him.

“Huo Yuhao, soul power level 50, spiritual control spirit – Spirit Eyes, responsible for reconnaissance and team coordination in this operation. A spiritual spirit beast of about 2 to 5 years old is required, preferably a functional one.”

A group of inner court students looked at them sideways. There was nothing much to say about the spiritual attribute, but the age of the soul ring was a big question.

As we all know, the fifth soul ring of a soul master is usually ten thousand years old. But this Huo Yuhao starts at twenty thousand years and caps at fifty thousand years. People who don’t know would think that Huo Yuhao needs the sixth soul ring.

“Such a high age limit, can you absorb it?”

Wang Dong gently tugged at the corner of Huo Yuhao’s clothes and said worriedly.

The inner court students also nodded slightly. Some of them hadn’t even absorbed 50,000 years yet, but Huo Yuhao had already set his sights on them.

Huo Yuhao said seriously: “It’s okay, I know my limits.”

Just absorb as much as you can, and seal what you cannot absorb with Tianmeng for later absorption. If you were not afraid of your body bursting due to too much power pouring in at once, you could have increased your age a bit.

Cai Meir looked at Huo Yuhao with a frown on her face, but ultimately said nothing.

Seeing that Dean Cai did not stop them, the students in the inner courtyard did not dare to speak up either.

“As you wish,”

Knowing that Huo Yuhao was not an impulsive person, Wang Dong sighed and said, “Wang Dong, my martial soul is the Goddess of Light Butterfly, and I am a level 3 Strong Attack Battle Soul Emperor. This time, my goal is to select a suitable spirit ring for my second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. I need a 5- year strength spirit ring. If I find a suitable one, I will absorb it. If I don’t have one, I won’t force it.”

Clear Sky Hammer?
Everyone was shocked. They didn’t expect that the Haotian Sect, which had been secluded for so many years, would have disciples coming down the mountain again.

Di Ruiqiu said softly: “Di Ruiqiu, martial soul Golden Dragon, power-type strong attack martial soul, requires the sixth soul ring, the age is roughly 3 to 6 years.”

Everyone’s eyes were wandering between Di Ruiqiu and Wang Dong. When the Clear Sky Hammer, the world’s number one weapon spirit, meets the Golden Dragon, which is also a power-type offensive spirit, who is stronger?

However, judging from the required soul ring age, the golden dragon is slightly better. The upper limit of Emperor Rachel’s sixth soul ring is actually directly extended to 60,000 years.

Many titles have eighth and ninth soul rings that only last this long, right?

Wang Dong was puzzled when he saw that Di Rachel was 10,000 years older than him in terms of age limit. A 60,000-year-old spirit ring was not so easy to absorb. As a spirit ring bestowed by God, Wang Dong knew very well how difficult it was to absorb a spirit ring that was over 50,000 years old.

Her sixth soul ring almost couldn’t withstand the strength of 50,000 years, and finally barely reached 50,000 years and could not be improved any further.

In addition, normal soul hunting also requires dealing with various emergencies, and there is also the test of soul shock when absorbing soul rings.

Therefore, even though he had experience in absorbing a 50,000-year soul ring, Wang Dong still felt that if he wanted to absorb one, it would be best to control it to less than 50,000 years, and even if it exceeded that, it could not be too much.

Well, in Dou Yi, Tang Hao’s sixth soul ring is also 40,000 years old, and Dai Mobai’s sixth soul ring, who ate the magic grass, is only 50,000 years old.

Furthermore, putting aside the question of whether they can absorb it or not, they need a certain amount of luck to successfully hunt soul beasts that are over 50,000 years old. If they really wanted to hunt soul beasts of this level, they would not have let Zhang Lexuan lead the team in the beginning.

After a brief introduction to each other, everyone activated their flying soul guides and arrived at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest in less than half a day.
