Transmigrating into Huo Yuhao, my abilities are refreshed every month.

Huo Yuhao looked down at the girl's radiant face and said gently:

"Sister Yanzi, do you have any plans for the future? After all, you've withdrawn from the Royal Fighting Team, so you probably won't be able to participate in the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Master Tournament two years from now."

Dugu Yan frowned, her delicate brows furrowed, and breathed hot air from her nose as she said gently, "If you don't want to participate, then don't. I can focus on my cultivation."

Huo Yuhao's eyes were unfocused, and he was deep in thought. He also planned to establish a force in this world to collect "leeks" (victims) to gather materials for the [Hive Will].

Establishing an academy would be perfect; it wouldn't provoke too much repercussions from the Spirit Hall and the two great empires, and it would also allow him to get close to Qian Renxue. Once the Spirit Empire is established, he can use Qian Renxue's identity to seize power within the empire and turn all the Spirit Hall's soul masters into his own people.

Preparation is key to success, and lack of preparation leads to failure. Huo Yuhao needs to prepare several trump cards to deal with the Sea God Tang San in advance.

In the original novel, Tang San paid so much attention to him that he would eventually discover the abnormality in him.

If he doesn't prepare a few ways to deal with Tang San in advance, and Tang San wants to kill him directly, he will have no choice but to hide in the Douyi World and abandon the Douyi World.

Although Tang San cannot descend to the mortal realm personally, it is still possible for him to send a second-level god down to the mortal realm.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao still remembered that Tang San's parents, Tang Hao and Ah Yin, were still inside the Golden Tree.

Now, the only way he can deal with gods is through the ability of the [Hive Will].

Therefore, it is imperative to develop as many of our own people as possible and reduce the number of our enemies.

Huo Yuhao quickened his pace and said with a smile:

"It's not necessarily true that I won't be able to participate in the Soul Master Competition, but let's talk about it later."

The Soul Master Competition is the best opportunity to make a school famous, and it also provides a chance to get closer to Qian Renxue.

Furthermore, he might be able to bring over people from the Douluo Continent II world to launch a devastating attack on this side.

In Huo Yuhao's view, now that he has the dual portal, these two worlds naturally need to be gradually integrated in order to make the most of them.

"Slow down~" Dugu Yan snorted, her eyes gleaming with white, somewhat dazed, her two serpentine white arms pressed above her head by Huo Yuhao, "Do you want us to join another advanced soul master academy and then participate in the competition?"

"More or less," Huo Yuhao said vaguely.

The girl's alluring demeanor made him reluctant to speak, and her graceful, swaying waist made him unable to resist.

"Sister Yanzi, I really love your slender waist." Huo Yuhao whispered in the girl's ear.

Dugu Yan's waist is truly top-notch; it's as if she has no spine. She can perform any difficult move and is particularly good at twisting.

Dugu Yan was speechless at this point, only letting out a high-pitched, delicate moan.

Huo Yuhao said gently, "Sister Yanzi, Sister Lingling is still next door, you have to keep your voice down. Maybe she's eavesdropping on you right now."

Dugu Yan glared at Huo Yuhao, but still bit her lower lip and lowered her voice.

Huo Yuhao chuckled and directly used his mental detection sharing link to connect with Dugu Yan, then directed the detection range toward Ye Lingling.

Soon, the two of them saw Ye Lingling in their minds.

The girl's once cool and aloof face was now flushed crimson. Her small, pink ears perked up, listening to the sounds coming from Huo Yuhao and the others. Her starry eyes flickered with shame, curiosity, and hesitation as she looked towards Huo Yuhao and his group through the wall.

At this moment, Dugu Yan felt as if her best friend's bright eyes could really see through the walls and see her current appearance.

A surge of indescribable shame, excitement, and tension, along with the physical impact, overwhelmed her, leaving her mind blank and completely unable to think.

Huo Yuhao looked at the wet sheets, let out a long sigh, and turned Dugu Yan over.

After a long while, Dugu Yan came to her senses, turned around and glared at Huo Yuhao, coldly snorting, "Quickly shut down your soul skill."

Huo Yuhao said innocently, "No way, I was just about to tell you about Lingling, but I didn't expect you to react so strongly."

Dugu Yan blushed and asked, "What is it?"

Huo Yuhao said, "As far as I know, there can only be two Nine Heart Begonia Martial Souls in the world, right?"

Dugu Yan said with a sorrowful expression, "Yes. The only remaining Nine Heart Begonia Soul Masters are Lingling and her mother. Lingling's grandfather, who loved her the most, chose to end his own life when Lingling awakened her Martial Soul at the age of six. Therefore, Lingling has always felt guilty, believing that she caused her grandfather's death. Since then, she has closed herself off and seems to care about nothing."

Autistic? Locked-away love?

Huo Yuhao looked thoughtful. Ye Lingling, who had a knot in her heart, was actually the most difficult to win over, but also the easiest.

Just like if he could help Ye Lingling revive her grandfather, even if he were to take Dugu Yan over right now and place her on top of Ye Lingling, she would definitely cooperate.

However, it doesn't necessarily have to help revive her grandfather. If the drawbacks of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul can be resolved, the same effect can be achieved.

Huo Yuhao said softly, "If I can help Sister Lingling solve the problem of her family's martial soul, could I recruit her and her mother?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan quickly turned around and asked, "Can you really help Lingling solve the problem of her martial soul?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded.

He couldn't do it himself, but the Water and Fire Dragon Kings could.

Even a second-level god can pay a certain price to bestow a top-tier martial soul upon someone else, let alone a god-king. It's merely a matter of resolving the flaws in martial souls; even if they only have remnant souls left, it won't be a problem for them.

Speaking of this, Huo Yuhao finds it strange that Ning Rongrong didn't help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School evolve its martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda before her ascension, and why didn't Ma Hongjun help his descendants solve the problem of their martial souls having inherent evil fire.

Even if they are only second-level gods and it is difficult for them to do it, does that mean Tang San cannot do it either?

For a first-level god, this is something that can be done easily.

Ultimately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the original novel was truly a victim of injustice. Not only did they lose two Title Douluo who were protecting the sect, but Ning Rongrong could only protect the sect for less than a hundred years, ultimately gaining nothing and losing all of her family's wealth.

After receiving Huo Yuhao's affirmative answer, Dugu Yan pleaded tactfully, "Then can you help Lingling? If Lingling and her aunt knew that you could solve their martial soul's problems, they would definitely be willing to accept your offer."

She still really wanted to help her best friend who had suffered so much in the past; now Ye Lingling was her only remaining friend.

Huo Yuhao chuckled and said, "Whether I help or not depends on you, Sister Yanzi."

"Me?" Dugu Yan frowned.

Huo Yuhao leaned close to Dugu Yan's ear and whispered something.

Dugu Yan blushed instantly, spat, and scolded, "Where did you learn so many tricks?"

Huo Yuhao asked with a smile, "Sister Yanzi, are you willing or not?"

Dugu Yan stared at Huo Yuhao, suppressing her shyness. She twisted her waist, her smooth, jade-like legs climbing up Huo Yuhao's strong body and onto his shoulders. Then, she slowly exerted force, hanging upside down on Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao let out a long sigh and said softly, "Sister Yanzi, you have sacrificed so much for Sister Lingling. How will Sister Lingling ever repay you?"

Dugu Yan stammered and remained silent.

Huo Yuhao said softly, "I'll be leaving at dawn. We can only talk about helping Sister Lingling solve her martial soul's problems next time I come back. Sister Yanzi, I need you to go and whisper some words to Sister Lingling and lay the groundwork for recruiting her in advance."

Dugu Yan coughed once, then remained silent, as if she were choking.

Time passed, and another day and night went by.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 158. Qian Renxue: We are both straightforward and outspoken.

158.

On the other side, Ye Lingling sat blankly on the edge of the bed, her long purple hair cascading down her back, her fair face glowing in the moonlight. Her eyes were ethereal, like a moonlit elf.

As a Soul Master, her hearing was naturally very sharp. When she heard Dugu Yan and Huo Yuhao mention her repeatedly, her usually calm heart couldn't hide her shyness and anger.

She never imagined that she, living next door, would become part of their play.

How could they do this?

Ye Lingling gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, circulating her soul power, trying to block out the two people's seductive voices.

"I can help Sister Lingling solve the problem of the martial spirit that is troubling her family."

Suddenly, the faint voice of Sister Yanzi's fiancé from next door reached her ears, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, making it impossible for Ye Lingling to maintain her composed demeanor any longer.

She strained her ears, listening intently to the conversation next door.

When Ye Lingling heard what Sister Yanzi was willing to sacrifice for her, she felt a warmth in her heart and made up her mind to make it up to Sister Yanzi.

As for what Sister Yanzi sacrificed, Ye Lingling didn't hear clearly.

She pushed open the door and ran to Dugu Yan's door, almost impatiently.

But the sounds coming from inside the house made her hesitate.

She gently touched the door with her delicate hand, her face flushed, and stood there for a long time.

Finally, she cautiously approached the window and peeked into the room. One glance was enough to strike her like a thunderbolt, leaving her stunned on the spot.

Why is Sister Yan hanging upside down on her fiancé?

The innocent young girl had never seen such a scene before, and in that instant, her worldview was violently shaken.

Ye Lingling stood frozen in place, her legs weak, until Huo Yuhao glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally. Only then did she snap out of her daze and run back to her room, her heart pounding.

He must have seen me spying on them!

Ye Lingling felt a little dizzy, and her cheeks were burning hotter than ever before.

She didn't know how to face Sister Yanzi and her fiancé tomorrow.

Actually, she didn't know that Dugu Yan also didn't know how to face her best friend tomorrow. She had seen Ye Lingling peeping at her from the window, and Huo Yuhao had shared the entire scene with her through his mental detection.

As dawn approached, Huo Yuhao covered the sleeping Dugu Yan with a newly changed quilt, and then quietly left.

Before leaving, he glanced at Ye Lingling's door.

Last night, he thought Ye Lingling was going to push the door open and he might be able to take advantage of the situation to win over this best friend of Sister Yanzi, but the girl backed away again.
