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

Chapter 20 "A Martial Soul of the Same Type as Mine?"

Upon hearing Jiang Nannan's decisive rejection, Chen Wen's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty.

After returning to the Xuanming Sect and reporting the situation to the sect leader, he was granted permission to use a Xuanwu Divine Pill in exchange for the voluntary offering of a beautiful young woman.

However, because the round trip to Xuanfeng City took some time, they discovered that the other person's mother's illness had been cured.

Chen Wen felt like a clown.

There was no time to think about anything else; Chen Wen had just discovered a serious problem.

There is only one week left until the Second Young Master's Martial Soul Evolution Ceremony begins.

He had solemnly promised the sect leader that he would find a beautiful young woman with top-notch looks and temperament for the second young master as a key part of the ceremony.

When I first discovered Jiang Nannan at the clinic, I was immediately awestruck; she perfectly met all my requirements.

Moreover, his mother was diagnosed with an incurable disease, and Chen Wen immediately opened champagne at halftime.

I felt that everything was settled.

He had already begun to fantasize about the Second Young Master's martial spirit evolving into the Xuanwu Shield, and after being appointed as the Young Sect Master, he would follow suit and become a manager of the sect.

To completely shed the status of a servant.

He used to not believe that a cooked duck could fly, but now he does.

The duck really flew away.

Chen Wen panicked, suddenly feeling his head hovering in the air.

He had sworn a death sentence to the sect leader, and if he couldn't find a suitable woman in the end, the sect leader would definitely kill him.

You must know that the current sect leader of the Xuanming Sect is no benevolent person. He is ruthless in killing and will not show any mercy to servants like himself.

"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have boasted!"

"Where am I supposed to find a virgin who meets all the criteria in terms of talent, looks, and temperament within a week?"

"Shrek Academy isn't a brothel; there aren't that many students from poor families."

Chen Wen squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands, feeling as if he could see the end of his future at a glance.

"I don't want to die!"

People in dire straits often choose to take risks. Chen Wen suddenly looked up and stared intently in the direction Jiang Nannan had left.

"Oh, sorry."

Then he got up and sped away, heading towards the eastern district of Xuanfeng City.

There, many frustrated soul masters gathered, venting their frustrations in the bright lights and revelry.

One of them happened to be a Soul Emperor he knew who spent all his time hanging out there.

He has been stuck at level 69 for decades due to his low innate soul power.

Breaking through level 70 had long been an obsession for him.

He would definitely make a move if offered the Xuanwu Divine Pill as payment, and the target was only a Soul Venerable.

This Soul Emperor's martial soul is called the Dream Eater, a spirit-attribute beast martial soul.

This martial spirit can keep all these shady dealings hidden from the light of day.

.........

That morning, as usual, Jiang Nannan arrived at Huo Yuhao's clinic with a gentle breeze.

He was carrying a breakfast in his hand.

"Brother Huo, this is breakfast my mother prepared for you."

The girl slightly raised the breakfast in her hand, a bright smile spreading across her face, like a kitten waiting for praise.

Huo Yuhao smiled and took the breakfast from her hand, saying:
"Thank you, Nan Nan."

Breakfast wasn't extravagant—just a few steamed buns and an egg—but you could feel the thoughtfulness in the meal.

"What are your plans for today?"

While eating breakfast, Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and said, "There will be a competition at the Great Soul Arena today. I estimate there will be quite a few injured people. We'll be busy afterwards."

As expected, there were an unusually large number of Soul Masters coming to the clinic for treatment today. Many of them were covered in blood and gore, their clothes stuck to their flesh, making cleaning their wounds a huge hassle.

Fortunately, Jiang Nannan was quick-witted and was able to clean the wounds quickly.

Huo Yuhao continuously used the Reversal Technique to heal these Soul Masters.

For a while, screams like pigs being slaughtered could be heard from time to time in the clinic.

For these Soul Masters, the anesthetic had no effect whatsoever; they were forced to clearly perceive the pain caused by the writhing of their flesh.

Surprisingly, these Soul Masters seemed to enjoy it. In their view, pain was to be expected; how could such a powerful healing Soul Skill not come at a price?

They took the amplified sensory experience throughout their bodies, resulting from abundant physical energy, as the price of treatment.

Huo Yuhao didn't bother to explain; he might as well consider it a price to pay.

"It hurts to death."

A Soul Master whose Martial Soul was the Blazing Bull grinned and trembled as he gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up.

"Your healing soul skill is still the most powerful, Master."

"It'll be done in no time. I have a game tomorrow anyway."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Heh, a competition, huh?"

"Haven't you had enough of being beaten yet? This is the third time this week."

The Soul Master with the Blazing Bull Martial Soul gave an awkward smile and said, "That's just how Soul Masters are, either bleeding right now or on their way to bleeding."

"The clothes of a Soul Master without a powerful background are always covered in blood."

"Master, I'll be leaving now. I need to study tomorrow's opponent."

Huo Yuhao shook his head. He didn't quite understand these Soul Masters' passion for battle. He turned to the others and cast a reversal spell.

Whether in his past life or now, Huo Yuhao doesn't actually like fighting, but if a battle is unavoidable...

He firmly believed that he would be the one who stood until the end.

He will crush all enemies in his path at all costs.

After all the wounded had left the clinic, Huo Yuhao pulled back the curtain to let the bloody smell dissipate.

Jiang Nannan was cleaning up in the back, carefully wiping away the bloodstains on the ground with alcohol.

After breathing in some fresh air, Huo Yuhao was about to turn around to help Jiang Nannan clean up the residue when his mental energy suddenly surged.

Having an intimate understanding of mental power, he instantly realized that someone was using mental power to sense his clinic.

Huo Yuhao silently activated his spiritual eye, only to discover that the target of this spiritual power was not him, but Jiang Nannan behind him.

"The opponent is very strong."

Judging from the scope of their spiritual power, the other party's cultivation level is very high.

Compared to those evil soul masters, this is at least a Soul Emperor.

Huo Yuhao's expression was gloomy. He didn't expect trouble to come so soon, and the target was someone close to him.

This undoubtedly touched a raw nerve in his heart.

After pulling the curtain closed again, Huo Yuhao resumed his usual kind smile and worked with Jiang Nannan to clean up the bloodstains on the floor.

As the night grew darker, the spiritual energy surrounding the clinic remained persistent, relentlessly locking onto Jiang Nannan.

After Jiang Nannan finished her work for the day and left the clinic, the spiritual energy disappeared from the area around the clinic.

Huo Yuhao quietly appeared on the roof of the clinic, watching Jiang Nannan's departing figure. The faceless mask transformed into a vortex-shaped mask, revealing only one right eye.

"A martial soul of the same type as mine?"

"interesting."

"Then let's see who can use their mental power better."

After saying that, a dark figure moved swiftly across the roof beams of the street, locking onto the situation around Jiang Nannan.
