Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 34 Level 20

No one expected that this important figure, who was usually elusive and rarely seen, would personally intervene in the freshman assessment.

Yan Shaozhe felt helpless.

He had only been watching from the shadows when the Netherworld White Tiger suddenly disintegrated. Given Du Weiren's Soul Douluo speed, he might not have been able to come to the rescue at that distance.

If the White Tiger Duke's eldest son were to be killed on the spot during the Shrek Academy's freshman assessment, it would be a huge problem, and he would have no choice but to take action himself.

He slowly withdrew his hand, turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao, and looked at him with undisguised admiration: "You are Huo Yuhao?"

"Yes, Dean Yan."

Huo Yuhao bowed respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly and said approvingly, "Not bad. The power of your Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's attack just now is no less than the fourth or fifth soul skill of a Power Attack-type Battle Soul King. Given time, your future is limitless."

He scrutinized Huo Yuhao carefully, thinking to himself.

"Is this the Huo Yuhao that the teacher specifically mentioned? His talent is truly terrifying. This martial soul that can summon and promote the growth of soul beasts... is something I've never seen or heard of before."

At this moment, Du Weilun also rushed forward and confirmed that although Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu had exhausted their soul power and Dai Huabin was seriously injured, they were not in any danger of death.

Yan Shaozhe then faced the entire arena, his voice calm yet clear, echoing throughout the entire competition hall: "I hereby announce that the champion of this year's Foreign Languages ​​Academy freshman assessment is—the team of Huo Yuhao, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng!"

After his announcement, the entire venue fell silent for a moment, then erupted in enthusiastic cheers and discussions.

The students and teachers of Class 9 were extremely excited.

Huo Yuhao stood in the center of the arena, listening to the cheers around him, but his gaze swept over Dai Huabin, who was being helped off the field and looked disheveled.

He collected today's interest quite readily.

But this is just the beginning.

He will make every single blood debt owed by the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, with interest, pay it back!

"You won! Yuhao, you won!"

Wang Dong excitedly flapped the butterfly wings on her back, like a joyful blue butterfly, and pounced directly on Huo Yuhao, who had just retrieved the Golden Coin, grabbing his arm excitedly.

Xiao Xiao jogged over, her face beaming with a happy smile: "Yuhao, Ningtian, Wufeng, congratulations!"

Huo Yuhao's face broke into a hearty smile.

"That was a great game. I wish I could have more chances like this."

The group glanced instinctively at Dai Huabin, who was being carried away.

This kid is going to be in trouble.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng were equally excited, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

Wang Dong grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm and shook it, his eyes sparkling: "Yuhao, you won the championship, shouldn't you celebrate? I saw how much fun you had beating up Dai Huabin today, you must be in a really good mood!"

Looking at her expectant eyes, Huo Yuhao knew exactly what she was thinking and readily nodded, "It's definitely time to celebrate. Same as always, all-you-can-eat grilled fish tonight, and I'll cook it myself!"

"Great!"

Wang Dong immediately cheered.

Huo Yuhao smiled and planned, "Okay, let's go to that open space outside the academy that we often go to tonight. Let's invite Brother Bei and Sister Xiaoya too, so we can all have some fun together."

"I'll go prepare the ingredients and things we'll need for the barbecue!"

Wang Dong volunteered.

"I'm here to help too!"

Xiao Xiao quickly replied.

"Then Ning Tian and I will go prepare some drinks and other snacks."

Wu Feng also took the initiative to take on work.

The news spread quickly. That very evening, not long after Huo Yuhao and the others arrived at that familiar open space, Bei Bei and Tang Ya rushed over upon hearing the news.

"Xiao Yuhao! Congratulations on winning the championship!"

Tang Ya happily patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder as soon as she arrived.

"I heard you gave that arrogant Dai Huabin a good beating today? Well done!" She waved her little fist, looking even more excited than Huo Yuhao.

Bei Bei smiled and patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder: "Congratulations, Yuhao. I didn't expect you to have grown to this extent in such a short time."

"Brother Bei, Sister Xiaoya, you've come at the perfect time. The grilled fish will be ready soon."

Huo Yuhao said with a smile as he skillfully flipped the fish on the grill.

When Tang Ya arrived, she naturally didn't forget her good friend.

Although Jiang Nannan was a little embarrassed, she couldn't resist the temptation to come after hearing that Huo Yuhao was personally grilling the fish.

When Jiang Nannan arrived, a certain "tagalong" naturally followed suit.

"Wow, it's so lively here! Looks like I've arrived just in time!"

Xu Sanshi came over with a grin and naturally sat down next to Jiang Nannan. Although he was given a glare in return, he was still happy.

So what was originally planned as a small gathering of a few people suddenly turned into a large gathering of nine people: Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, Bei Bei, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, and Xu Sanshi who came uninvited.

The open space suddenly became lively.

Huo Yuhao focused intently on grilling the fish, filling the air with its aroma; Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao helped out; Ning Tian and Wu Feng shared the drinks and snacks they brought with everyone; Bei Bei and Tang Ya chatted and laughed; Jiang Nannan ate the grilled fish in small bites, occasionally exchanging a few words with Tang Ya; Xu Sanshi relentlessly tried to strike up a conversation with Jiang Nannan.

"Nan Nan~ Nan Nan~"

"Get out of here!"

"Hahahahaha..."

As night deepened, the stars began to twinkle.

The laughter and chatter in the open space gradually subsided as the campfire died down.

The aroma of grilled fish still seemed to linger in my nose, but the feast must eventually come to an end.

The group played and joked until late at night before reluctantly saying goodbye and leaving.

Xu Sanshi persisted in trying to take Jiang Nannan back to her dormitory, but naturally, he was rejected again.

Beibei and Tang Ya left side by side, talking in hushed tones.

Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong said goodbye and returned to their dormitory.

Back in their familiar dormitory, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong smiled at each other. Although they were physically tired, their spirits were exceptionally high due to the victory during the day and the joyful gathering in the evening.

"Tonight... continue cultivating?"

Wang Dong's cheeks flushed slightly as he made the suggestion in a low voice, his eyes flickering.

Huo Yuhao looked at her expectant yet forced composure and nodded: "Okay."

The two sat cross-legged on Wang Dong's bed in perfect harmony, their hands touching, and their soul power naturally began to merge.

After several months of adjustment, their martial soul fusion has become a natural process. Soul power flows smoothly within their bodies, nourishing their meridians and enhancing their soul power.

In such an intimate state of cultivation, time flew by.

……

The next morning, the soft morning light streamed into the dormitory through the window.

Huo Yuhao slowly awoke from his deep state of cultivation.

He opened his eyes and the first thing he felt was the soft touch of her arms and the faint fragrance lingering around his nose.

Wang Dong still clung to him tightly like a koala, her head resting on his neck, fast asleep, her long eyelashes casting faint shadows under her eyes.

Huo Yuhao did not move immediately, but calmed his mind and carefully sensed the changes in himself.

The soul power flowed like a gentle stream through the broad and resilient meridians, becoming more solid and powerful than before.

A sense of perfect fulfillment filled my heart.

"Level 20!"
