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

Chapter 158 "Croak! A battleground? This is really bad."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Roman smiled gently and straightened his posture slightly, saying:

"That's normal."

"Isn't this what the extraordinary world is like?"

"Life's thirst for evolution is endless, even if you haven't taken the time to study the soul."

"When people in this world find that the path to the future is blocked, they will find their own way out."

There is no such thing as limiting the development of civilization.

"It's just a matter of speed."

Huo Yuhao simply smiled at this.

"That's too slow!"

"According to the development process of soul tools in this world."

"Without human intervention, they estimate it will take them another ten thousand years to reach the information society."

"It will be another 10,000 years before we can even set foot in the stars."

"Not to mention there's a divine realm above us, and they're not exactly gentlemen."

"To put it bluntly, they are actually parasites that leech off blood from all over the world."

"At least that's the case for Douluo Continent. Tang Buddha didn't give Douluo Continent any benefits, but kept using underhanded tricks and dirty tricks on them."

Roman tapped his temple with his finger, about to say something more, when he saw Huo Yuhao put his legs down, point outside, and say:
"somebody is coming."

"It's a violet and a butterfly."

"They must be here to see you, right?"

Roman smiled and nodded, saying:
"Ah."

"I promised Feng Jin some time ago that I would teach her about knowledge related to Reality Boundaries."

"Teach her some alchemy as well."

Huo Yuhao took the initiative to use his telekinesis to open the office door.

"A Reality Marble."

"That's not easy to learn."

"It not only requires a high level of alchemical skill, but also a high standard of the user's heart and will."

Roman was well aware of the high requirements of a Reality Boundary, and he confidently stated:
"These kids are all exceptional in terms of talent and willpower."

"If even they can't learn the Inherent Boundary, this technique can be discarded, because it's impossible for anyone to learn it."

"A technique without a lineage is not much different from one that doesn't exist."

Just as Huo Yuhao and Luo Man were chatting, Feng Jin and Xia Die finally arrived at the door of the top-floor office.

"Dr. Roman!"

"Butterfly and I have come to find you!"

Her pink-to-blue curly pigtails swayed slightly, and her bright green eyes shone with excitement.

"Hey! Brother Huo is here too!"

Feng Jin's tone was filled with surprise; she hadn't expected to see Huo Yuhao here.

"Father."

Xia Die's jewel-like eyes also revealed surprise. She gently lifted the hem of her skirt on both sides and bowed slightly to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao greeted Feng Jin with a smile.

"How have you been lately, Little Violet?"

"I came here to talk to Roman about some things, after all, I'm a passionate boss."

Then he looked at Xia Die and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone:
"Didn't you say you don't need to bow when you see me?"

"This seems too distant."

Huo Yuhao gently stood up, the chair beneath him scraping against the wooden floor with a soft sound. He walked over to Xia Die and Feng Jin and gently patted the two girls' heads.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Xia Die's indifferent face, and Feng Jin also enjoyed Huo Yuhao's caresses.

Feng Jin herself didn't know why, but every time she saw Brother Huo, she always felt relaxed and happy, and had a vague sense of dependence on him.

It's like a child who has left home suddenly seeing their parents.

That feeling of having a strong mountain to rely on behind her always allowed Feng Jin to return to calm, no matter how anxious she was inside.

"not bad."

"However, the accommodations at Shrek Academy are really indescribable, but thankfully Teacher Tibo is here!"

"We can go outside to take a bath through Teacher Tibo's Hundred Worlds Gate."

"For this reason, Ms. Tibo is very popular in the girls' dormitory."

“Many people are very nice to Teacher Tibo because they are counting on Teacher Tibo to take them outside to bathe.”

Just like a child who has left home telling their parents about the fun things that happened at school, Feng Jin excitedly told Huo Yuhao about their recent experiences.

Huo Yuhao smiled gently and listened patiently to the girl's words. Seeing that she was a little thirsty, he poured a glass of water for both girls from the table next to him.

"It sounds like this would be a romantic story."

Huo Yuhao's dark eyes shone with a gentle light as he spoke softly.

Feng Jin and Xia Die both nodded. Feng Jin said energetically:

"Being with your companions is the most romantic story in the world!"

Hearing Feng Jin's answer, Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction. This was exactly the answer he wanted, and it was the very reason why they were able to stand firm despite the falling boulder.

Roman, standing to the side, revealed a barely perceptible worry in his eyes; he was well aware of Huo Yuhao's plan.

These children will be at the center of all future storms, and their future path will surely be fraught with thorns.

Huo Yuhao's mental strength was so strong that he naturally noticed Roman's unusual behavior; his thoughts were too easy to guess.

So he transmitted his voice to him using his mental power:

"I also promised that when they traversed the thorny path, they would be greeted by a new world of sunshine and gentle breezes."

Roman nodded to Huo Yuhao almost imperceptibly, trusting that the future "Above All Things" would not mistreat his family.

Then, Roman looked at Feng Jin and Xia Die and said:
"It's almost time. Let's go. I'll go teach you alchemy related to Realistic Boundaries."

Feng Jin nodded her little head, her green eyes shining slightly, while Xia Die beside her hesitated a bit.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao gently took Xia Die's hand and looked at Luo Man, saying:
"It seems that Butterfly would prefer to go to Shrek City with me."

"Teach her again next time."

Roman's eyes were filled with tenderness. This being above all things was more humane than the previous one. Of course, it would be even better if he could do less work.

"I do not mind."

"Butterfly can come to me whenever she wants to learn."

"That gives me a good reason to ask your father for leave."

"When will this mountain of documents ever end?!"

The thought of those mountains of documents made Roman's eyes go dull, like dead fish eyes.

Huo Yuhao ignored Luo Man's rambling and pulled Xia Die directly towards the door.

"If you are willing to persevere, even an iron pestle can be ground into a needle."

"Keep it up, my excellent employee!" Roman smiled helplessly. After tidying up the documents, he took Feng Jin directly to the open space behind the Passion Building to teach her alchemy.

"Kaze Sumire, next, I will show you every detail of the Reality Marble. Remember it."

"Yes! Dr. Roman!"

...............

"Come on, try this dress on."

Huo Yuhao picked out a light purple dress for Xia Die at a clothing store on the main street of Shrek City. He held it up in front of her and thought it looked pretty good, so he let her try it on.

Xia Die took the dress, her eyes lighting up slightly, and went into the fitting room to change.

This child listens to Huo Yuhao so much that Huo Yuhao feels she wouldn't refuse even if he gave her the same outfit as him.

Huo Yuhao stood at the entrance of the clothing store, imagining Xia Die wearing a trench coat, a purple top, and black trousers, and found it surprisingly appealing!
He glanced at the fitting room, thinking that next time he could prepare a powerful outfit for her as well.

I'll find a way to coax Su Tong into wearing the same outfit later. The three of them together are enough to intimidate anyone just by standing there.

"Brother Huo?!"

A familiar voice interrupted Huo Yuhao's thoughts, and three figures emerged from the bustling crowd.

The figure on the far left has long, golden curly hair and slightly widened beautiful eyes; she is Jiang Nannan, who is half of his disciple.

With her black ponytail tied in the middle and petite figure, Huo Yuhao almost didn't see this child, who was also an old acquaintance, Xiao Xiao.

The one on the right is a familiar stranger, with his signature pink and blue short hair; he is Wang Dong dressed as a man.

Looking at her face, which was similar to hers in her previous life but also slightly different, Huo Yuhao was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"I wonder if they survived?"

"Has the Jupiter crisis been overcome?"

"If they manage to get through, will they be able to reach Proxima Centauri smoothly?"

"Are those star systems suitable for the continuation of humanity?"

Huo Yuhao had almost buried his memories of his past life deep in his heart, but seeing familiar strangers made him involuntarily worry about Earth from his past life.

The malice from a star is a burden that a species cannot bear; a joke played by the sun almost cost the lives of billions of creatures.

Even in this world, even the gods of the divine realm would absolutely not be able to withstand a solar helium flash.

It is estimated that they can only rely on the divine realm to resist solar storms.

In the end, it was Xiao Xiao's elbow strike that pulled Huo Yuhao back from his wandering thoughts.

She pouted and looked up at Huo Yuhao, her face full of displeasure.

"Hey!"

That sound almost triggered Huo Yuhao's passive ability.

Should I call you Danzo or Huo Qiqiang?

Huo Yuhao could only smile awkwardly and say:

"Just call me Kenneth Fok."

Xiao Xiao turned her head, and her black side ponytail struck Huo Yuhao's lower abdomen like a long whip.

I haven't seen this child for a year, but his height hasn't changed at all.

In the end, we still have to look up to Huo Yuhao.

"Okay, don't be angry, I didn't mean to hide it."

"I was unfamiliar with the place and the people there, so I couldn't use my real identity, could I?"

Of course, his current identity is just a pseudonym; only a few of his closest friends know Huo Yuhao's true identity.

Xiao Xiao raised her fist, wanting to punch Huo Yuhao's chest, but found she couldn't reach it. In the end, she chose to be angry rather than frustrated.

Looking at her puffed-up little face, Huo Yuhao chuckled and poked her cheek, causing her to let out a soft, escaping sound.

The people present were all trying hard to suppress their laughter.

Huo Yuhao rubbed her head and said:
"Don't be so upset, I'll take you to Shrek City for a meal right away."

"You can eat whatever you want."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao calmed down slightly and said:
"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

"I want the most expensive one!"

"You're the Spirit Ice Douluo, you can definitely afford to hire him, right?"

Huo Yuhao said with a smile:
"Of course, of course."

Then, Huo Yuhao looked at Jiang Nannan and said:

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Jiang Nannan smiled and said softly to Huo Yuhao:

"Well, long time no see."

Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong and said:

Who is this person?

Wang Dong had heard Xiao Xiao mention Huo Yuhao before, and naturally he had also heard that this person was the leader of the Passionate Ones, the powerful Spirit Ice Douluo of the continent.

He was slightly reserved, and nodded slightly to Huo Yuhao, saying:

"Your Majesty Lingbing, my name is Wang Dong."

At this moment, Xiao Xiao pointed at Wang Dong and said:
"He was my teammate during last year's freshman assessment."

"It's a pity that he lost to Sister Sui in the end."

"However, we both eventually became core disciples."

Wang Dong also showed a hint of regret.

"Alas! It's a pity that the final Butterfly God's Light didn't hit us, otherwise we might have been able to turn the tide."

Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes at Wang Dong and said:

"Come on, back then you were like a goose, charging straight at Sister Sui without me even having time to help you!"

"You were surrounded and beaten by three people, and I was the one who saved you!"

"Otherwise, you'll be bedridden for half a month!"

Wang Dong stamped his foot and retorted to Xiao Xiao:
"That's a tactic!"

"I wasn't trying to capture the leader first, but who knew that Sister Sui was only level 23 at the time, yet her attack power was so strong!"

"Luckily, my agility is superior, and I bought you five minutes with my body!"

Xiao Xiao let out a disdainful "Eh."

"You were clearly the punching bag for five minutes."

Jiang Nannan's beautiful eyes showed helplessness as she waved her hand at Huo Yuhao.

Then Jiang Nannan mentally cheered herself up and decided to chat with Huo Yuhao about the recent situation to get closer to him.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard a clear, cold female voice coming from behind Huo Yuhao.

"Father! I'm all changed."

"Are they?"

Huo Yuhao was about to turn around and respond to his beloved daughter when he caught a glimpse of Jiang Nannan's eyes, which suddenly seemed to lose their luster.
