Douluo Continent: Transmigrating to the Star Palace of Yuhao

Chapter 25 The loser calls the winner "Dad"

Xian Lin'er smiled with satisfaction and took out a heart-protecting mirror from her soul tool.

This protective mirror was made entirely of an unknown, jet-black metal frame, with silver-white metal wires embedded in it, outlining a complex and mysterious array. The overall impression was one of immense weight and solidity. Huo Yuhao vaguely guessed Xian Lin'er's intention in taking it out, and a sense of anticipation rose within him.

"Yuhao, don't you like defensive soul tools? I'll give you this Xuan Yin Heart-Protecting Mirror as a gift. It's a near-level eight defensive soul tool. It can actively release a three-layered level seven soul tool shield, or passively trigger an invincibility shield for about three seconds. However, actively releasing it is a bit troublesome with your current soul power, but the invincibility shield can be replaced. Come find me after you use it up, and I'll get you a new one."

Huo Yuhao knew in his heart that his newly acquainted teacher truly regarded him as a close disciple. Having received this favor today, he must repay it with a generous gift in the future. Huo Yuhao bowed deeply again before accepting the gift from Xian Lin'er with both hands.

"Your disciple thanks you for your kindness, Master."

The more Xian Lin'er looked at Huo Yuhao, the more pleasing he became. He was talented, handsome, polite, grateful, eager to learn, and ambitious. She thought he was her own son! She couldn't wait to let the entire Soul Guidance Department know that she had taken in a direct disciple, and even to show off to Dean Yan Shaozhe of the Martial Soul Department!

Xian Lin'er barely suppressed the corners of her mouth, trying her best to act like a normal teacher in front of Huo Yuhao.

She slowly walked to the bookshelf away from the production table and testing area, carefully selected a few books, and then said to Huo Yuhao seriously, "Go and read these books carefully. Remember to take good notes and point out the parts you don't understand. I will explain them to you next time you come."

Huo Yuhao glanced at the books in his hands: one was "Complete Guide to Rare Metals - Beginner Level", another was "Complete Guide to Core Magic Arrays - Beginner Level", another was "Complete Guide to Soul Guidance Devices - Beginner Level", another was "Carving Knives and Sculpture Techniques", and the last was "Beginner Forging".

He knew he was in for a lot of work now, so he casually put it into his soul tool. Xian Lin'er then tossed him another token, which happened to be the same one that Xian Lin'er had used to open the gate to the Ninth Experimental Zone.

Before Huo Yuhao could ask, Xian Lin'er's voice rang out, "You can come here to practice whenever you want. This crafting table is yours from now on. The rare metals on it are all at the beginner level, which is perfect for you to practice with. Ask me for more when you're done."

Huo Yuhao nodded, then asked Xian Lin'er, "Does Teacher have any other plans for me now?"

Xian Lin'er was slightly taken aback.

Huo Yuhao explained with a wry smile, "I think I should go back and read some books before I start practicing. Right now, I'm a complete theoretical idiot."

Xian Lin'er couldn't help but laugh out loud, but due to her status, she didn't let herself indulge. As a teacher, she had to set a good example for her students! She covered her face and coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment, then waved her hand and said, "I won't keep you any longer. I will assess your studies in a week. If you don't meet the standards, you'll be in big trouble."

Huo Yuhao bowed slightly and said, "This disciple will not disappoint the teacher. I will take my leave now. Goodbye, teacher."

Huo Yuhao walked to the entrance of the test area and turned around, just in time to meet Xian Lin'er's gaze. Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, bowed again, and then walked out the door.

Xian Lin'er sighed helplessly, then transmitted her voice to Huo Yuhao, who hadn't gone far, "Don't be so formal in the future, it's too troublesome! It's good that you respect your teacher, but you can't be bound by formalities! Just greet me normally next time you see me!"

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile and walked towards the dormitory building.

As soon as Huo Yuhao arrived at his dormitory, he noticed that the door was open. He immediately realized that his roommate had probably already arrived.

He thought for a moment, then went inside. No one was there. Thanks to his cleaning yesterday, the dormitory was still spotless, but some items were scattered on the bed board opposite his own, making it look somewhat messy; he guessed his roommate hadn't finished tidying up yet.

Huo Yuhao sat down on his bed, crossed his legs, propped his chin on his hand, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, as if he was plotting something.

Just then, Huo Yuhao's roommate walked in from outside. He was a handsome young man with delicate features and fair skin, and a pair of very distinctive light pinkish-blue eyes. His neat short hair matched the color of his eyes, and his handsome appearance was comparable to Huo Yuhao's. This was the first time Huo Yuhao had seen a "handsome guy" who was just as good-looking as himself.

He recognized her; this was the sea goddess princess, Wang Dong'er, disguised as a man. Perhaps it was the corrective force of fate that made them roommates, just like in the original timeline.

Huo Yuhao didn't give the other person a chance, and took the initiative to say, "Since you're going to be my roommate, you have to follow my rules. First, you're not allowed to bring anyone back to the dorm without permission. Second, you're not allowed to be naked in the dorm; I'm not interested in the same sex. Third, you're not allowed to snore at night. Fourth, don't disturb me unnecessarily. Fifth, the dorm cleaning will be done on a rotating basis, and you can switch classes if needed. If you don't want to follow these rules, you can apply to the academy to change dorms now."

The boy stared at Huo Yuhao in disbelief, unsure if his thoughts had been spoken aloud first. He remained stunned for a long time before angrily shouting, "Bastard! Why should I listen to you? Who do you think you are? Even at home, no one dares to talk to me like that!"

Huo Yuhao smiled kindly and said, "Based on my strength, let me introduce myself. My name is Huo Yuhao, my martial soul is Spirit Eye, and I am a level 36 mental control type battle soul master."

The boy put away his previous domineering and reckless behavior, looked seriously at the handsome face that was no less handsome than his own, and said through gritted teeth, "Wang Dong, Martial Soul: Goddess of Light Butterfly, Level 21 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master."

Huo Yuhao smiled knowingly. "Want a fight? You don't seem too convinced yet?"

Wang Dong snorted coldly, "Fine, let's fight! Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Huo Yuhao inwardly scoffed, "How could this silly kid take the bait so easily? Doesn't he deserve to be bullied by me? No, I need to add fuel to the fire!"

Huo Yuhao's smile faded, and he became a little more serious, saying, "Just fighting isn't fun, let's make a bet."

Wang Dong said nonchalantly, "Fine, let's bet! What do you want to bet on?"

Huo Yuhao casually said, "How about the loser calls the winner 'Dad'?"
