People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 36: Huo Yuhao’s Journey to the Far North
"Junior brother, how is it? Teacher Qin shouldn't have given you any trouble, right?"

Seeing Huo Yuhao walking out of the office building, Xu Sanshi hurriedly went to greet him and immediately turned into a close-knit elder sister... Oh no, a caring elder brother, and showed some concern for his little master.

Huo Yuhao said calmly, “It’s okay. Dragon Douluo is easy to talk to. He said… he will back me up. It’s okay if I can’t come back within seven days. There won’t be any major events at Shrek Academy in the past month… Wait, Third Senior Brother, will there be any major events at Shrek Academy in a month?”

"Don't you know?" Xu Sanshi pondered, "The Soul Master Competition in this life has been reformed, with two age groups of soul masters competing separately. Those under fifteen are in the youth group, and those between fifteen and twenty are in the youth group."

"In one month, the academy will select seven regular team members and three substitutes from all students under the age of fourteen and two months to represent Shrek Academy in the Youth Soul Master Competition. The specific selection method is unclear, but it is said that each class will have a different method."

Huo Yuhao: "..."

The youth group and the junior group compete separately, which means that Ma Xiaotao, Ling Luochen, Dai Yueheng and others will go against the youth group of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy led by Ma Rulong. Their main opponents in the junior group are... the brother and sister Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

As long as Xuan Zi doesn't do anything weird and with Ma Xiaotao leading the team, the youth group will definitely be able to crush the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

"Junior brother, you'd better come back within a month and don't miss this selection. Oh, by the way, do you want me to arrange a team of guards to protect you? Our Xuanming Sect has some industries in Shrek City, so we can naturally put together a top-notch soul hunting team." Xu Sanshi suddenly asked.

Huo Yuhao said helplessly: "Third Brother, I appreciate your kindness. With my current ability, I should be able to escape unscathed from a Super Douluo. A group of Soul Douluos and multiple Soul Saints are too big a target for Soul Hunters. Instead, they are a burden to me."

“Well… okay.” Xu Sanshi did not insist any further. If Huo Yuhao died, it would not be a bad thing for him. In that case, he could completely extinguish his desire to become a god, put aside his inappropriate thoughts, and live peacefully with Chen Yu like an ordinary couple.

Having lived for more than three hundred years in his previous life, Xu Sanshi was no longer the naive boy who fearlessly advanced forward. The reason he followed Huo Yuhao was purely out of luck.

After bidding farewell to Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao bought some warm clothes and a batch of medicinal pills from Xiao Fengxian (Mo Lian’s alchemist sister Xu Fengxian). Then he left Shrek City and entered the territory of the Tianhun Empire, heading north towards the Far North.

The running speed of a prospective great soul master is definitely not inferior to that of a horse-drawn carriage or a car at this stage. Huo Yuhao went out alone without any guards. The carriage and car would be too conspicuous, and there was no guarantee that horse bandits would block the road. He was not afraid of trouble, but he thought it was troublesome.

Huo Yuhao hardly stopped during the journey. When he was hungry, he ate the Bigu Pills made by Xiao Fengxian to replenish his energy. When he was tired, he would just find a bush to rest for an hour or two. As a result, he only took two days and two nights to cross half of the continent and reach the outskirts of the Far North.

It was still that far north land, and he still came to obtain the second martial soul, but... his brother Tianmeng had been in a deep sleep and could not be woken up no matter how he called him.

Ugh!
He was used to the noise of Tianmeng baby in his mind. Now that no one was making noises and no one was whispering in his ear, he felt a little empty. Huo Yuhao did not try to show off. The moment he stepped into the Far North, he used the original power of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to add a layer of protection to his body. While making him immune to the harsh environment of the Far North, he could also cover up his breath and avoid being besieged by soul beasts.

He didn’t know how long he had been walking, but Huo Yuhao only felt that the aura emitted by the soul beasts around him was getting stronger and stronger. He estimated that he seemed to have reached the buffer zone between the outer area and the core area of ​​the Far North. There were many kinds of soul beasts here, and people called this area the mixed zone.

"Let's take a break first."

Huo Yuhao found a relatively secluded cave, simply cleared the snow on the ground, spread a waterproof cloth, and slowly sat down.

With the protection of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's original power, Huo Yuhao's physical energy consumption was not great. He mainly needed to avoid the groups of soul beasts that came out to find food. Although he had the means to conceal his breath, he couldn't run into them head-on, right?
In his previous life, he had the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to guide him, but now... he was all alone. Sigh! He never thought that one day... he would face loneliness again.

Huo Yuhao took a fasting pill and drank a small can of carbohydrate water. After recovering his strength, he took out a piece of kraft paper from his storage ring. On the kraft paper was a rough map of the Far North.

"Do you want to use Brother Tianmeng's power to fish out the Ice Emperor like in the last life? No, no! I am just a human being. I don't have the qualifications to confront the Ice Emperor head-on."

"It would be best if we could find the residence of the Ice Emperor. Whether it's recording my dreams or directly playing the footage of me and the seven spirits becoming gods together, without any other interference, I should be able to have a chance to talk to the Ice Emperor."

"But... Damn it! Where does Hyotei live? She never told me in her previous life!"

Huo Yuhao's heart was finally hanging. With his current cultivation level, it would take him even a year to search the entire core area to find Ice Emperor's residence, let alone a month. What's more, Ice Emperor might not live in the core area.

Annoying! It’s so annoying!
However, Huo Yuhao was obviously not the kind of person who gave up easily. He planned to go to the Snow Empress' palace to take a look. The Snow Empress in this time and space was married. The Ice Empress liked the Snow Empress, so it should be reasonable for her to occupy the Snow Empress' original residence, right?

After resting for an hour, Huo Yuhao continued on his journey to find the Ice Emperor.

The pressure in the core area, mixed area and periphery of the Far North is simply not of the same order of magnitude. Here live the three most powerful soul beast tribes in the Far North: Ice Scorpion, Snow Demon Ape, and Ice Bear!
In addition, there are many not very powerful high-level soul beast clans with ice attributes, such as the Ice Phoenix and Ice Fox. In the core area, the soul beasts that come out to find food are mostly in groups. There are also soul beasts with cultivation of more than 40,000 years, which makes the already difficult situation of Huo Yuhao even worse.

At this moment, in order to avoid the sight of a group of Ice Jade Scorpions, Huo Yuhao did not pay attention to the environment under his feet, causing him to step on empty air and fall into a small valley.
