Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 108 The Tragic Story of Nan Qiuqiu
"Black stockings?"

Huo Yuhao slapped his forehead. These kids really know how to pick the important points.

It's unbelievable that they were just joking. If the two of them actually wore black stockings and went to the Earth Dragon Gate to steal the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow...

This is probably the end of Huo Qiqiang's online persona.

Huo Yuhao considered himself to be quite thick-skinned, but it was like Sun Wukong becoming the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses—he could be talked about for a lifetime.

"My apprentice! The idea is novel, but don't think about it again next time."

"I have a mask here, you can wear it."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao took out a mask similar to Obito's from his storage soul tool. Huo Yuhao had made a lot of these in Xilu City some time ago, just in case.

Then he handed the mask to Su Tong and let her put it on herself. Su Tong looked at the mask for a few moments, gathered her smooth, long black hair that reached her waist, and finally managed to put the mask on her face after some time.

Huo Yuhao found her much more pleasing to the eye when he saw her like this.

It doesn't really matter whether the other person wears a mask or not, since she's just an accessory anyway; I'm the one who'll actually do the dirty work.

We can't let her deal with so many disciples of the Earth Dragon Sect, she'd be dead for sure!

This made things much easier for him; he simply used the Faceless Man mask to transform into a spiral mask.

Then they walked out of the living room and into the courtyard of the siheyuan (traditional courtyard house). They glanced at the sky; it was already quite late when the two of them returned.

After a long conversation, it was already late at night.

The moon was also very cooperative today, its face obscured by dark clouds, and its bright moonlight was completely blocked by the thick clouds.

Occasionally, a few snowflakes would drift down from the sky and land on Huo Yuhao's spiral mask, melting into water from his body heat.

"It seems the weather is nice today; even the heavens are benevolent."

"Since things have come to this, I guess I have to get started."

"Su Tong, let's go!"

Hearing the call, Su Tong slowly walked to Huo Yuhao's side, tilted her head, and said:

"You really don't need black stockings?"

With a loud "bang," Su Tong gently covered her head, her eyes looking at him innocently from behind the mask.

Huo Yuhao lowered his fist, looked at the night sky, and said:

"Get back to normal! We're about to leave."

"Divine power!"

As Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in the courtyard, a spatial vortex was released centered on Huo Yuhao's right eye.

This was the first time Su Tong had experienced a soul skill that involved spatial teleportation. She felt a slight tearing sensation all over her body, but her mental energy did not issue any warnings.

She stretched out her arm slightly and watched as it twisted before disappearing into the spatial vortex.

The distortion quickly reached the eyes, and the surrounding light disappeared due to the spatial distortion, leaving everything in darkness.

When she opened her eyes again, she was in a strange space.

The surrounding area was filled with enormous cubes made of unknown rocks, and the edge of this space was a deep darkness. No one knew what lay beyond the boundary.

Su Tong had seen space-type soul skills before, and had even fought against soul masters with space attributes in the Soul Arena.

Most space-type soul skills are unpredictable and dangerous, but she had never seen a soul skill like her teacher's that could connect to a large area of ​​other dimensions.

Huo Yuhao patted Su Tong on the shoulder to tell her not to get distracted.

"You are the first human to enter this place alive."

"Concentrate, you might feel a little dizzy."

Their figures began to fade into the distance, and in an empty alley near the Dragon Gate in the north of Dragon City, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared and spat the two people out.

Su Tong felt a slight throbbing in her head and gently shook her head. This was a normal reaction to experiencing divine power teleportation for the first time.

"The Earth Dragon Gate is not far away."

"Let me check the situation first."

As soon as he finished speaking, his first soul skill, Spirit Detection, instantly activated. The entire Earth Dragon Gate was like a naked young girl, with no secrets in his eyes.

The mental probe directly locked onto a well in the backyard of the Earth Dragon Gate, and the mental energy began to probe deeper.

Before long, they found a peculiar cave filled with magnificent, ice-blue metal, which was exactly the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal that Huo Yuhao was very interested in.

This metal possesses its own vitality and spirituality; in the era of the Dragon King Legend, this metal could be considered a naturally forged soul.

Because it possesses spirituality, only Soul Masters with the ultimate ice attribute can easily mine it.

Otherwise, even if a Limit Douluo came, he wouldn't be able to mine much, because that cave is constantly filled with the extreme icy energy of heaven and earth, and the temperature is extremely low!
Huo Yuhao glanced at Su Tong beside him, realizing that without the Ice Emperor's power, he really couldn't do anything about this metal.

Fortunately, Su Tong is the ultimate ice, so mining it will definitely not be difficult at all.

Then, using their spiritual power to delve deeper, they found a cold spring at the bottom of the well.

Huo Yuhao's mental energy was unable to penetrate any deeper! Like an explorer stuck in quagmire, he was unable to move.

This icy spring is so densely packed with the essence of heaven and earth that it's practically tangible, and spiritual power can't penetrate it! Huo Yuhao withdrew his spiritual power; if he couldn't pass through, he couldn't pass through.

Once the location is found, Huo Yuhao has plenty of ways to get into that cold spring.

"Brother Tianmeng, your silkworm molt can withstand the extreme ice of heaven and earth's elemental energy, right?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm confidently patted its chest and said, "Don't worry!"

"Even if Bingbing came here, I could directly control this silkworm shedding process."

"Just some Ice Extreme Crystals. I've seen countless of them underground in the far north back in the day."

"With the silkworm molt still intact, these extreme icy primordial energies of heaven and earth absolutely cannot corrode your body!"

Having received assurances from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Huo Yuhao looked at Su Tong and said:

"Next, I'll take you to the backyard of the Earth Dragon Gate. Get ready!"

"Divine power!"

…………

Nan Qiuqiu trained at the sect very late today, practicing to master the power of annihilation, which is the most powerful ability of the Rouge Dragon, the martial soul inherited by the Earth Dragon Sect.

It is considered a lower-tier Destruction attribute, but its power is extremely impressive. Under the same level, a Soul Master with the Rouge Dragon Martial Soul is not afraid of a Soul Master with the pure Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul.

Both sides had their wins and losses.

"I'm exhausted, let's take a walk in the backyard."

Nan Qiuqiu stretched her back, intending to go for a walk in the backyard to relax her tense muscles.

"Sigh, my mom won't let me join the Advanced Soul Master Academy, otherwise I could participate in next year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament."

I don't know if I'll have another chance in the future.

Nan Qiuqiu complained as she walked around her family's well.

This well is considered a secret place of the Earth Dragon Gate, but the successive gate masters have never taken it seriously because it is too cold inside!
Completely unsuitable for the cultivation of dragon-type martial souls, this well has been neglected for many years, and many of the tiles and stones have fallen off.

"What exactly is the purpose of this well?"

"What were our ancestors thinking? Treating the ice-attribute secret realm as a treasure of the Earth Dragon Gate?"

"Ice and dragons don't go together at all."

Nan Qiuqiu kept muttering to herself, completely unaware that two mysterious masked figures stepped out of the spatial vortex behind her.

Huo Yuhao and Su Tong were a little embarrassed; they had accidentally overheard each other's rambling.

Nan Qiuqiu is, after all, the leading figure of the younger generation of the Earth Dragon Gate, and the future number one of the Earth Dragon Gate.

His perception was naturally quite strong; realizing something was amiss behind him, he suddenly turned around and shouted sharply:
"Who?!"

Only her mother and she could enter the secret place of the Earth Dragon Gate. At this time, apart from intruders, Nan Qiuqiu couldn't think of anyone else who would come here.

As expected, she saw two mysterious masked men, and her eyes immediately lit up with fighting spirit. She prepared to activate her martial spirit and fight these two invaders for three hundred rounds.

"Why are you running around so late instead of sleeping, you little brat?"

Huo Yuhao was too lazy to play games with her, so he directly used his spiritual eye to cast an illusion on her.

A simple maze illusion lulled Nan Qiuqiu to sleep. She lay straight on the ground, her head hitting the bluestone slab hard with a muffled groan.

It looks like it's in a lot of pain, but Huo Yuhao isn't worried about whether the other person will suffer a concussion.

He is, after all, a powerful offensive Soul Master, whose physique is in no way inferior to that of a sports student.

Huo Yuhao had already recognized the girl's identity. After all, only a few people were qualified to enter the Earth Dragon Gate Secret Realm, so there was no need to guess.

Then, as he stepped over Nan Qiuqiu's body, he glanced at her sleeping face.

"Young people are great, they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow!"

Su Tong followed closely behind Huo Yuhao, looking at Nan Qiuqiu lying upright on the ground, feeling a little sorry for her.

She gently picked her up and carried her to the lawn in the distance.

With a slight glint in her blue eyes, she used extreme ice to bind the other person's hands and feet, and even tore off a piece of her skirt to cover the other person's mouth to prevent them from shouting after waking up.

However, she seemed to have no idea that being bound by extreme ice all night would probably be quite a challenge for the other party when they woke up in the morning.

Then, taking a small step, he came to Huo Yuhao's side, looked at the well in front of him, and said:

"Teacher, is this the place?"

Huo Yuhao nodded and said to her:

"We're about to enter. Cover your body with your ultimate ice soul power; it's very cold down there."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao performed a standard athlete's entry into the water and accurately jumped into the well.

Unfortunately, they became the Filipino fishing squad, and the splashes of water even landed on Su Tong's mask.
