Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 116 The Awkward Durex

Once everyone was ready, Ma Xiaotao said, "Those of you with lower cultivation levels are likely to slow us down, and we can't accommodate you. How about this, Yuhao should be able to keep up with us, so you can walk by yourself. As for the others, we'll each take one."

Huo Yuhao suddenly interrupted with a smile: "Sister Xiaotao, you can take Xiaoxiao and Ningtian with you. Leave Dong'er and Qiu'er to us."

Ma Xiaotao was taken aback: "Leave it to you? With your cultivation levels, wouldn't it be even slower if you brought the two of them along?"

Huo Yuhao took out his own flying soul tool, attached it, tapped it lightly twice, and laughed, "A level five flying soul tool, the speed should be enough, right?"

Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi smiled and each took out a level four flying soul tool and installed it on themselves. Bei Bei said, "Yu Hao helped us with this. Although our flying soul tools are only level four, they should be able to keep up with the senior students. With my soul power, carrying Wang Dong'er won't consume too much energy."

Ma Xiaotao herself possessed a flying soul tool, but due to Dai Yueheng and the others' aversion to soul tools, they never used them. She refrained from using one to ensure the entire team maintained a consistent speed. Huo Yuhao was Fan Yu's disciple, and Bei Bei and the others implicitly followed him. It wasn't surprising that she, influenced by Huo Yuhao, would acquire a flying soul tool; wasn't she doing the same?

She looked at Xu Sanshi curiously and said, "If that's the case, can't Xu Sanshi bring one along? Are Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian afraid of heights?"

Beibei looked at Xu Sanshi with schadenfreude and said, "Because someone is too sleazy, Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian are unwilling to get close to sleazy people."

Xiao Xiao and Ning Tian chuckled to themselves upon hearing this, while Xu Sanshi looked utterly embarrassed.

Ma Xiaotao smiled mischievously. She had heard about Xu Sanshi's reputation in the outer courtyard.

"In that case, let's go. I'll take Xiao Xiao, and Dai Yueheng, you take Ning Tian." The two of them had the highest cultivation levels in the group, so it was naturally the most appropriate for them to lead the way since they needed to travel.

Meanwhile, under Wang Dong'er's strange gaze, Huo Yuhao naturally supported Di Qianqiu's arms and leaped into the air, with Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi following closely behind.

Although Bei Bei and the others' soul power cultivation was much weaker than that of the regular team members, they were still able to keep up with the speed of the regular team members because Dai Yueheng and the others were running on the ground, while they were able to keep up with the speed of the regular team members by relying on the high mobility of air transport that ignored the terrain.

All of them were Soul Masters with considerable cultivation. They traveled at breakneck speed, stopping every three hours to rest and replenish their Soul Power, and to eat something before continuing their journey. A day later, they finally arrived at the border between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

Ahead, a large military camp blocked their path.

Dai Yueheng signaled everyone to stop, then went to the military camp alone to borrow several standard-issue Level 4 flying soul tools from the military and distributed them to everyone. Then he set off again, heading straight for the Mingdou Mountains.

On the way, in order to ensure that he could participate in the Soul Fighting Competition on time, Elder Xuan showed off his twelve-cylinder turbocharged high-speed flight once again, making a big splash amidst the exclamations of the students.

As dawn approached, the night was still deep. Suddenly, a white light shone in the dark sky. The white light approached from afar, leaving a magnificent trail in the sky before descending in an instant.

Despite the discomfort caused by the high-speed flight, the trainees quickly sat down cross-legged as soon as they landed and began to adjust their condition.

Elder Xuan glanced at them and said, “Look at your pathetic self. Xiao Tao, you will be in charge of the next operation. Xiao Dai, you will be in charge of liaising with the military.”

After saying that, Elder Xuan vanished in a flash, disappearing somewhere to have a snack.

A moment later, streaks of light flew through the sky, rapidly approaching their direction. Dai Yueheng raised his hand and threw a punch into the air. Instantly, a ball of white light exploded three meters above his head, spreading out a white halo.

Then, led by a stern-faced old man, more than thirty Soul Masters dressed in black leather armor descended from the sky, subtly surrounding the Shrek Academy group.

"Who are you? Why are you approaching our troops in the dead of night?"

Dai Yueheng walked forward with a smile and said, "Elder Du, it's me."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Dureth exclaimed with delight, "Young Master! It's you! Are these all your classmates from Shrek Academy?"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at everyone present. When his gaze swept over Huo Yuhao, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Dai Yueheng smiled and said, "That's right, they are all my classmates. I have already written to my father about the purpose of our visit. Is my father in the military camp?"

Du Leisi respectfully replied, "The Marshal is in the military camp and should be getting up soon."

Dai Yueheng nodded slightly, glanced at Huo Yuhao, and said, "Let's rest for a bit first, then go to the military camp to see Father. Hmm, it's perfect timing, Yuhao came with me this time too. Father hasn't seen Third Brother for so many years, he must miss him, so it's a good opportunity to see him."

"Third brother!?"

Upon hearing Dai Yueheng suddenly change how he addressed Huo Yuhao, the Shrek Academy members, who were unaware of the situation, exchanged shocked glances.

Only Ma Xiaotao, Chen Zifeng, and Di Qianqiu already knew this secret and vaguely sensed the discord between Huo Yuhao and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. They subconsciously looked at Huo Yuhao, wondering how he planned to deal with it.

Wang Dong'er's mouth gaped slightly in surprise as she looked at Di Qianqiu, who seemed completely unsurprised. A pang of sadness struck her, and she thought bitterly: Did she already know about Yuhao's background? Yuhao told her, so why didn't he tell me?
Du Leisi glanced at Huo Yuhao, hesitated for a moment, and then said respectfully, "Greetings, Third Young Master. I will send someone to inform the Marshal that after everyone has rested for a while, we will go to the military camp together to see the Marshal."

Huo Yuhao remained indifferent, sitting down to regulate his breathing without even glancing at Du Leisi.

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Du Leisi's eyes. He had followed Duke Baihu in countless battles, achieving remarkable feats. Coupled with his own strength and the title of viscount in the Star Luo Empire, he was Duke Baihu's most trusted right-hand man and knew a great deal about the affairs of the Duke Baihu's family. Even Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin usually treated him with a degree of respect and secretly intended to win him over, but Huo Yuhao seemed to have no such intentions at all.

He had, of course, heard the Marshal mention the conflict between this illegitimate child and the legitimate bloodline. The Marshal had always wanted to ease tensions between the two sides, but now it seemed nothing had changed!

Putting aside everything else, the feud between Huo Yuhao and the Dai brothers, along with their mother, is so deep that there is absolutely no room for reconciliation!

Dai Yueheng glanced at Huo Yuhao's indifferent posture with his eyes closed and his legs crossed, a smile playing on his lips, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Although the other members of Shrek Academy did not see it, they could clearly sense that Huo Yuhao's relationship with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion was not as harmonious as Dai Yueheng described as "the third brother." They exchanged glances and tacitly refrained from asking any questions.
