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

Chapter 126 Lonely People Sing Sad Songs
At this moment, Xiao Hongchen stared blankly at the azure sky above the Soul Arena. The warm midday sun could not penetrate his gloomy and rainy heart.

The blue sky and white clouds seemed to have been heavily filtered through his eyes, making the whole world appear dim and lifeless.

He rarely read those chivalrous novels, but every time Meng Hongchen forced him to read them, he would complain about why the author always made it rain on the day the protagonist was defeated.

Now he understands a little. Xiao Hongchen really hopes that the sky will send down a torrential rain to wash away his shame, and it would be best if a bolt of lightning struck him dead!

Just thinking about how I fought one-on-one with someone in the Heavenly Soul Empire and ended up losing to a second-ring Great Soul Master!

Xiao Hongchen now only wants to carry Mingde Hall away from Douluo Continent overnight.

If the people at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy found out about this, he felt his career as a Soul Master would probably be over.

The only thing that makes Xiao Hongchen feel somewhat gratified is that this Soul Arena doesn't use a recording device to record the match process.

He barely managed to preserve what little dignity he had left.

It was obvious that he had forgotten that his younger sister was carrying a soul recording device.

Meng Hongchen, on the other hand, gleefully recorded Xiao Hongchen's humiliation.

This video could make her laugh and live a life of happiness forever!

If Meng Hongchen refuses to give her the latest soul tool when she asks him for it, Meng Hongchen will pull out this video and say:

"Laugh, you don't want the people at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to know about this, do you?"

Xiao Hongchen lay helplessly in the mud, his body wracked with intense pain.

Medemus had a good grasp of his strength; each attack did not damage the opponent's internal organs, only causing superficial wounds.

After all, the two were just exchanging blows; how could they possibly do something that would ruin someone's future or take their life?
"It's not raining."

"Looks like I'm not the protagonist in the chivalrous tales."

"I'm sorry, Grandpa, I don't think I'm some kind of number one genius."

Laughing at the world, I murmured in the soil, feeling like my vision was about to blur.

Medemos stretched his shoulders, although the high-temperature scarlet crystal formed by the "blood feud" had blocked most of the soul-guided rays.

Some attacks still managed to hit him, but these attacks were all within the Golden Lion King's self-healing capacity.

Then, his golden lion eyes looked at Xiao Hongchen, who was questioning his existence in the pit, and his eyes showed doubt.

He was certain that he hadn't injured the other person's internal organs, so why was this guy acting like he was about to die?

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Can you stand up?"

Xiao Hongchen did not respond, staring blankly at the sky.

He wasn't afraid of losing, but he couldn't accept losing to a second-ring Grand Soul Master.

Being defeated by someone twenty levels above him was definitely a huge blow to him.

"Hmph, get up!"

Medemos couldn't bear to see the guy continue to lie in the pit pretending to be dead, so he reached out and forcibly pulled him up.

"If you have nothing else to do, take a walk."

"Making that face after just one loss? Incompetent!"

"Cheer up!"

Upon hearing Medemos's cold words, Xiao Hongchen finally came to his senses.

He looked intently at Medemos with his heterochromatic blue-green eyes and said:
"Medemos?"

"I'll remember this name!"

"I will continue to challenge you! Until I defeat you!"

Upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's declaration of war, Medemos crossed his arms, glanced at him with his golden eyes, and said:

"The word 'cowardice' does not exist in my dictionary."

"up to you."

"Let's go and keep your promise."

Xiao Hongchen watched Maidemus's retreating figure, memorized it, and then followed him to the backstage of the Soul Arena.

He wanted to apologize to the red-haired girl. Since it was a promise he had already made, even if the initial request was to kowtow as an apology, he would accept it!
Despite being self-proclaimed as the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire, he still has some pride and principles!

There were actually two heartbroken people in the Great Soul Arena.

After Xiao Hongchen left, the referee slumped on the competition stage, somewhat distraught.

"The Soul Battle Arena!!!" "That's all top-quality sedimentary rock! It's incredibly expensive!"

Although he is the referee, he is also the owner of this fighting arena!

This great arena didn't belong to him before. The previous owner, who encouraged bloody gladiatorial combat and enjoyed the slave trade, was enthusiastically dragged to the Dragon Arena to seek enlightenment.

The other party had long since become a D-level personnel, waiting for Huo Yuhao's favor.

Having been a referee here for a long time, he had some affection for this place and spent all his savings to redeem the Arena from Passion.

He even personally went to the headquarters of Passion to repeatedly promise Huo Yuhao that the bloody gladiatorial combat would never happen again.

At this moment, his heart was bleeding, as repairing the submerged rock would be another considerable expense.

I didn't have much money left to begin with.

At that moment, he also wished that a heavy rain would fall from the sky to wash away his sorrow.

"Alright, stop kneeling there."

"Go to the headquarters of Passion and ask the finance department to reimburse you for the money spent on the Battle Arena."

A voice was transmitted through mental energy into the referee's mental sea.

He immediately became alert, and then felt an undisguised gaze fixed on him.

The referee glanced at the high platform behind him and saw a man in a black trench coat looking at him with dark eyes.

"boss!"

He immediately recognized the burly man with the extremely unconventional style of dressing as the enthusiastic boss!

He is also the King of Xilu City, the Underworld Emperor of Tiandou Plain, the Fast Food King of Douluo Three Kingdoms, and the Soul Guidance Device Distributor of Tiandou Plain!
It's truly outstanding!
Since the other party has spoken, there's definitely no problem with the money for my Soul Arena; I'm always generous when it comes to spending.

Nobody knows how much passion is actually worth; the other party has made a fortune just from fast food.

Not to mention, the other party also sells soul tools, having sold level eight soul tools to date, making them the largest soul tool dealer in the Tiandou Plain.

Enthusiastic officials frequently appear at major auctions, spending lavishly! They have a particular fondness for unusual and exotic items.

For example, some time ago, an enthusiastic cadre spent one million gold soul coins to buy the famous Soul Devouring Carving Knife at an auction in Xingluo City.

The auction house originally projected a price of 100,000 gold soul coins, but the other party immediately increased it tenfold.

Because of their enthusiasm and generosity, they are invited to participate in many large auctions, and are on par with other major sects in terms of status.

This is mainly because it is widely believed that the biggest backer of the passion is Taotie Douluo Xuanzi.

After all, the other party often stepped in to clear obstacles for Passion, and some even said that Taotie Douluo was Passion's Supreme Elder, and they were family.

Huo Yuhao really wanted to clarify that this was absolutely a rumor! His enthusiasm couldn't possibly tolerate the powerful Chicken Leg Douluo!

Even those destined for greatness often run into trouble when they're around him; who knows what's going on with the other person's birth chart!
The referee bowed to Huo Yuhao and then left the platform.

Huo Yuhao said to Su Tong beside him:

"Disciple, did you see that boy with the golden-red hair just now?"

Su Tong nodded, her icy blue eyes slightly shocked, and her cool voice reached Huo Yuhao's ears as she said:

"Ultimate Martial Soul!"

"He actually managed to defeat an enemy twenty levels higher! And the opponent even had the divine beast martial soul, the Three-Legged Golden Toad!"

"But the three-legged golden toad seems to be from the side of the sun and moon."

Huo Yuhao ruffled her hair and said:
"That child is my junior, and I have another ultimate martial soul that I'll show you later."

"The one with the three-legged golden toad martial spirit is called Xiao Hongchen. You should have seen him on the billboards in Snow King Ice City."

“His grandfather is Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingdetang, and he has a good relationship with us now.”

"Send him here to learn, and also to avoid the internal turmoil within the Sun Moon Empire."

“Jing Hongchen actually sold a level nine soul tool to Equanimity a while ago. I wonder what they were thinking.”

"Those level nine soul tools are in the experimental area behind the Passion."

"I'll give you some permissions later and teach you some new things while I'm at it."

"Come on, let me introduce you to my lovely juniors!"

After saying that, Huo Yuhao led Su Tong to the backstage of the Soul Arena and, guided by his spiritual power, found the locations of Medmus and Tibo.

Meanwhile, Bai Er and Roman arrived late in their jeep, attracting the attention of many passersby.

"Sigh, it looks like it's over."
