Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 138 Jealous Miss Meng, You Gu Yuena Can't Beat Me!

Huo Yuhao had no idea what Xu Tianzhen and Ju Zi were thinking. As he said before, he didn't care about such troublesome political matters right now.

He is now preparing to rest and recuperate, and then set off tomorrow to go to the Demon Forest to obtain his fourth soul ring, and then head to the Sunset Great Forest to take away the opportunity that the little punk has sealed away.

As for those disgustingly obsequious immortal herbs, kept like pigs by those lowly scoundrels and quite loyal to them, their own teachers will deal with them when the time comes.

After leaving his senior brother Xuan Ziwen's research room, Huo Yuhao ignored the gazes of Ju Zi, Xu Tianzhen, and others behind him, and saw Meng Hongchen, Gu Yuena, and Xiao Hongchen waiting for him.

They are now recognized as super geniuses by the academy's higher-ups.

As mentioned before, the Gongfeng Hall and Mingde Hall jointly decided to develop a top-tier training program, leveraging the power of the empire, to rival the so-called Shrek Seven Devils.

On the day Huo Yuhao passed the Level 3 Soul Master assessment, he fully revealed his talent and was already one of them.

The resources I used for cultivation during this period, namely the medicinal bath prepared by my two teachers using precious resources after the previous challenge, and the precious metals I needed for my fourth-level soul master cultivation, all came from the resource allocation provided by this training sequence.

The Sun and Moon faction treats geniuses like him with such fervor that they practically want to overwhelm them with resources and metals, even though he doesn't lack these things.

His own teacher, Kong Deming, didn't need to do anything or use his own connections. The offerings from the ancestral hall and the high-ranking officials of Mingde Hall would allocate a large amount of resources, so he wouldn't have to worry about resources at all.

The reason I mention this is because previously there was only one person training this series of personnel, but now there are three more.

It was Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Gu Yuena, who had gradually revealed her talent over the past six months.

The first two need no further explanation. Jing Hongchen, the descendant of the Mingde Hall Master, was undoubtedly one of the top talents in the Sun and Moon Sect before Huo Yuhao appeared. Later, he won the championship of the All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament. He was talented and famous enough.

There was no need for the previous considerations; they were naturally included as part of the training program.

Gu Yuena is even more outrageous. In the past six months, she has been suppressing Huo Yuhao's record and has gradually become a level three soul master. Moreover, she has raised her soul power to level fifty at the age of less than fifteen.

The knowledge of these matters was still limited to some high-ranking members of the Gongfeng Hall and Mingde Hall. The old emperor also knew about it, but it was of little use. He was now practically sidelined by Crown Prince Xu Tianran and was more like a decorative figure.

In addition to the existing four, including Huo Yuhao, several other individuals are being considered for training in this program, such as Ji Juechen, who is on the verge of being evenly matched with Huo Yuhao.

Although this person only managed to fight Huo Yuhao to a draw despite being a Soul King, it depends on how you look at it. Didn't you see that Huo Yuhao took down most of the Mingde Hall? Being able to fight to a draw is already quite good. Considering his previous achievements, he may soon be qualified to become a member of the order.

As for innate soul power, this is not a standard that those higher-ups care about. Whether it is Huo Yuhao with innate level one or Ji Juechen with innate level three, they have both proven that basic talent is not a constraint that limits one's strength.

As long as you are strong enough among the younger generation, regardless of your background, you can receive a lot of resources and ample training.

Compared to Shrek Academy's selection criteria, such as having a chaotic battle to determine the Shrek Seven Devils, Sun Moon Academy's criteria are clearly more complicated, but also more comprehensive, ensuring that no true genius is overlooked.

"Yuhao, you're now a Level 4 Soul Master, one step closer to becoming this genius. It really puts a lot of pressure on me!"

Xiao Hongchen had a face that looked like he wanted to punch someone. Who would have thought that Huo Yuhao, his brother, had been enlightened for half a year, and after waking up, he passed the Level 4 Soul Master assessment in less than a month.

He's only a level 5 Soul Master right now, and it will take him a long time to reach level 6. That's terrifying.

"Pressure is a good thing. Let me tell you, it's okay if your soul power level increases slowly. Just build a solid foundation step by step. Don't think about relying on pills to improve your strength. That's just forcing growth."

Huo Yuhao knew that this kid had learned from past mistakes, so he gave him some advice to prevent the kid from being too eager for quick success and damaging his foundation by taking drugs excessively, which could happen again on the original route.

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's serious tone, Xiao Hongchen stopped joking and nodded earnestly.

He was a person who refused to admit defeat. Even though his own brother Yuhao was only a Soul Master, he was able to fight against opponents of higher levels because of his solid foundation. There was no reason for him to go the long way around and waste his talent by rashly increasing his soul power level.

That was just wishful thinking. Given some time, he believed he could eventually reach the title level, become a ninth-level Soul Master, and surpass his grandfather.

No, my talent is stronger than my grandfather's. A level nine Soul Master isn't enough. Let's set a goal: level ten. Level ten will be about right!

Meng Hongchen seemed to have received some news, and with a troubled expression, she leaned forward and asked.

"Yuhao, are you going to hunt souls? Can I go with you?"

Huo Yuhao is now level 40, so he will definitely go to obtain his fourth soul ring. Her current soul power level is level 54, so it is difficult for her to go with him, but Meng Hongchen still decided to give it a try.

Besides this reason, another reason that made her say that was that Gu Yuena had coincidentally reached level 50 and needed to obtain her fifth soul ring. The thought of her going to hunt souls with Yuhao made her feel uneasy.

I won't be bullied, will I? Probably not. Besides, I have to eat, and I have to be the first one. What does Na'er know?

You think you can mess with me? No way!
"No, this time is different." Huo Yuhao refused directly. "This time there may be danger. Moreover, this time I'm not just going to obtain a soul ring. I'm going to a dangerous place, and the fewer people there are, the better." He softened his tone as he looked at Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

"Don't worry, when I come back this time, I promise to give you a big surprise."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen said no more. They knew that once Huo Yuhao made a decision, he would not change it, so in order not to hold him back, they decided to cultivate diligently at the academy.

"Let's go. Before we leave, I'll make you one last barbecue as a way of making up for it."

"Great!!"

Everyone smiled. They never got tired of Huo Yuhao's cooking, no matter when. Just as they were about to leave, Huo Yuhao suddenly looked into the distance.

"Ji Juechen?"

The man, carrying a sword on his back and with his arms crossed, walked up to Huo Yuhao and said coldly.

"Not bad, you actually remember me. I thought you would forget me like those other guys, as a defeated opponent."

Huo Yuhao extended his hand, a faint smile on his face.

"The sword intent emanating from you is unique, and it was because of you that I was able to enter a state of enlightenment. In fact, I should thank you for the pressure you put on me, which allowed me to comprehend my own intent."

Ji Juechen was stunned for a moment, then reached out and shook hands with Huo Yuhao.

"I also want to thank you. After that battle, I also fell into deep meditation and gained a lot of insights."

"However, I didn't have the same enlightenment time as you. I only had an enlightenment for a month, and I'm only now digesting what I've learned."

"My talent is not as good as yours." Ji Juechen said this, but his expression became more and more confident. "However, I will not give up on catching up. You are a worthy opponent to improve together with."

Friendships between men are simple; a satisfying battle is enough to build a foundation of trust.

"What's this?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"I want to challenge you to see how much you've learned since that epiphany, and what your intentions are."

Having said that, he picked up his sword, ready to continue the battle.

"No need. Your focus on sword intent is excellent. I can tell you with certainty that you are on the right path. As long as you pursue it throughout your life, you will one day become one of the world's top experts."

"You don't want to fight me?"

Huo Yuhao shrugged. "I just passed the Level 4 Soul Master assessment and I'm going to hunt for my fourth Soul Ring tomorrow. I really don't have the mind to fight right now. Wait for me to come back, and I'll make sure you have a good time."

Having said all that, Ji Juechen put his mind at ease.

Little did he know that the "next time" Huo Yuhao spoke of would actually take more than a year to arrive.
Huo Yuhao is right. There's no rush to fight.

"By the way, my cooking is pretty good, would you like to try some?"

Ji Juechen had already made Huo Yuhao his life's goal, so he naturally didn't mind becoming his friend and sincerely accepted Huo Yuhao's invitation.

"Hey, can't you laugh? How come you're even more pretentious than this genius?"

Xiao Hongchen also admired Ji Juechen's perseverance and strength. At this moment, he stepped forward to examine Ji Juechen's face and said something that made Ji Juechen's eyes twitch.

"got used to."

"Tch, you're such an ice-cold face. Well, this genius isn't bad either. In the days that Yuhao won't be around, I can be a decent opponent for you."

"I want to challenge a Soul Master, you're not suitable."

"Sigh, I have such a bad temper."
