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

Chapter 22 Crown Prince Xu Tianran of the Empire, Promoted Three Ranks in Succession
Meng Hongchen didn't feel embarrassed at all.

In the teaching department, she had long heard rumors about Huo Yuhao and knew that he was a super handsome guy, but due to her studies, she never had the chance to meet him.

Now that his own brother has said this, it's like a knife to his heart.

"Okay, okay, but should we tell Grandpa about this? Didn't Grandpa say he wanted to take Huo Yuhao as his disciple? Won't our private contact affect Grandpa's plans?"

Xiao Hongchen shrugged, completely unconcerned.

"It's not even close to being settled yet. Besides, that kid's talent in soul tool research is so monstrous, Grandpa might not be able to get what he wants."

"Before that, let's sneak over and say a few words to that kid, get to know him, and Grandpa definitely won't say anything."

Meng Hongchen was clearly persuaded, or rather, she could be said to have developed a strong interest in Huo Yuhao's existence.

"Alright, genius brother, I hope you and Huo Yuhao can get along."

"Of course! I'm a genius, and I'll show him what I'm capable of!"

The Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace was nearing dusk.

Crown Prince Xu Tianran sat in his wheelchair, intently studying the intelligence report in his hand.

"A true martial soul, twin martial souls—breaking the empire's record for the fastest to become a level two soul master! Elder Kong's closed-door disciple is truly interesting!"

"Someone is coming."

When his personal guards entered, Xu Tianran gave them his instructions.

"Send a reward to that young man named Huo Yuhao to congratulate him on breaking the empire's record for the fastest person to become a level two Soul Master."

"Yes."

The guards left, and Xu Tianran looked into the shadows.

"Such a genius, and he's Confucius's last disciple, you can't touch him, or that old man will go crazy."

A sinister voice came from the shadows.

“This is not within my duties, and the Holy Church is not interested in such matters.”

"That would be best." Xu Tianran neither agreed nor disagreed.

He wanted to win over Mingde Hall, or rather, show goodwill to the Gongfeng Hall. Starting with this young man named Huo Yuhao was not out of the question, but he had to consider the Holy Spirit Cult.

If you're going to negotiate with a tiger for its skin, you have to be wary of whether the tiger will harm you. Once you've ascended the throne and have complete control over most of the power, it's time to cut ties with these filthy creatures.

How could someone who aspires to become an emperor who unifies the continent possibly accept carrying such an indelible stain on their body?

As the sun set, the imperial city was bathed in a brilliant gold. After all the attendants and guards had retreated, Xu Tianran couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"The entire empire will eventually be under my control. Father, you are getting old. Why do you keep clinging to the throne? I really can't wait any longer."

Suddenly, a woman with long, smooth, orange-red hair appeared in the quiet environment. She had fair skin, a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, and a dangerously languid air about her, as if she possessed some kind of privilege. While everyone else dared not approach, this woman brazenly came up behind Xu Tianran.

Her amber eyes, like those of a cat, also gazed at the sunset, like poisoned daggers, beautiful yet dangerous.

"Orange, you're here."

Ju Zi didn't move or say anything. She pushed Xu Tianran's wheelchair down to the palace. She didn't like it here, but because of hatred, she had to stay by Xu Tianran's side as the crown prince of the empire so that she could avenge her parents and fulfill her long-cherished wish.

As for why Xu Tianran, the shrewd Crown Prince of the Empire, would be so accommodating to Ju Zi, it's because when the Third Prince attempted to assassinate Xu Tianran, Ju Zi shielded him from a fatal blow. Their relationship wasn't one of trust, but rather mutual exploitation.

Seeing that Ju Zi hadn't spoken for a while, Xu Tianran didn't mind and continued, "I heard that a peerless genius has appeared at the Royal Soul Master Academy. He has never touched a soul tool before, but he became a level two soul master in just three months. You might want to get to know him in the future, Ju Zi."

He spoke as if he had just remembered it.

"By the way, your teacher, Xuan Ziwen, seems to have become that boy's senior. You'll probably see him quite often in the future. That boy's name is Huo Yuhao, a first-year student in the teaching department."

Orange's body trembled slightly, but she remained expressionless and nodded faintly, regardless of whether Xu Tianran could see her or not.

Huo Yuhao?
She suddenly remembered the blue-haired boy she had met briefly outside the academy. Was it him? He became a level two Soul Master in three months. No wonder someone like Xu Tianran called him a peerless genius.

"okay, I get it."

When Ju Zi spoke, Xu Tianran was taken aback for a moment, but quickly stopped talking.

The next day.

Royal Soul Master Academy, Teaching Department Dormitory.

Huo Yuhao woke up in the bathroom and was immediately hit by a foul odor before he could even fully wake up. Sure enough, he couldn't avoid the smell of poop in his pores. Fortunately, he had prepared in advance, so he didn't have to spend too much time cleaning the room.

"Level 17, almost level 18."

After washing up and checking his soul power level, Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised.

Previously, he was only one step away from breaking through to level seventeen. Now, the Xuan Shui Dan clears impurities from his body, nourishes his meridians, and enhances his innate soul power, achieving an effect similar to "deep purification." It is not surprising that his soul power has increased by one level.

Now that he has passed the Level 2 Soul Master assessment, breaking the record for the fastest Level 2 Soul Master in the Sun Moon Empire, he naturally no longer needs to attend the first-year courses. Once this semester ends, he can smoothly enter the fifth grade next semester and begin systematic learning of Level 3 Soul Guidance knowledge.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao first asked Shi Xuan for leave, and then returned to his dormitory to start taking the Soul Ascension Pill.

As for the fact that he had just taken the Xuan Shui Pill and his soul power was not yet stable, which would waste the medicine's effects, this was not something Huo Yuhao considered at all.

The teacher will prepare several medicinal baths every week, which should be more than enough for him to solidify his foundation over the next month. As for the Soul Ascension Pill, one can only take one in a lifetime, and its unique effect on a level 30 Soul Master breaking through to level 31 is, in Huo Yuhao's opinion, even more dispensable.

Use the resources you have. When you reach level 30, there will definitely be better things waiting for you. You're not some plagiarized 'master'. Level 30 isn't some insurmountable hurdle. Resources are only yours if you use them.

"Sigh~"

Although both pills were mild, Huo Yuhao still felt some swelling in his meridians, but fortunately it was not unbearable, and his soul power increased rapidly under these circumstances.

Two hours later, Huo Yuhao got out of bed and stretched his body.

"Level nineteen, almost level twenty, my soul power has increased by two levels."

Although his soul power increased by three levels in a single day, Huo Yuhao did not feel any instability in his soul power.

Ultimately, soul power is essentially a quantity. Once you reach a certain level, it means you possess the strength required for that level. The difference lies only in the quality. However, for most soul masters who don't have the ultimate attributes, the difference in the quality of soul power, a universal energy, is not apparent.

Huo Yuhao, whose soul power had reached level nineteen, was not complacent. After adapting for a while, he got up and went to the cafeteria, thinking that the teacher had almost finished preparing the materials for the medicinal bath. He would go and strengthen himself after eating.

Once the foundation is solid, he plans to go out tonight and try his luck to see if he can buy a few pieces of ancient whale glue.

Huo Yuhao now has more gold soul coins than he can spend, and if he doesn't quickly convert them into resources to strengthen his physical body, he feels he's letting Tianmeng down regarding her expectations of the Far North.

As a continent with a long coastline, the Sun and Moon Empire must have a considerable stock of whale glue, a treasure from the sea.

What he has no shortage of right now is gold soul coins. If it weren't for that damn aphrodisiac effect, he could eat it like candy.
