Douluo Continent: Transmigrating to the Star Palace of Yuhao

Chapter 67 Where is Dai Huabin?

"I named my second spirit the Ice Chimera. After all, apart from the legendary strange spirit beast Chimera, there isn't much else that can better summarize the characteristics of my spirit. Moreover, I can't be sure whether it will continue to mutate. Plus, the Chimera is a mixed beast, which fits my spirit's situation very well, so I just called it that."

"My first spirit ring was from a dying thousand-year-old ice jade scorpion I encountered when I went to the far north to complete a quest. Its spirit skill was Frost Claw. As for the spirit skill I used at the end of the finals..."

Huo Yuhao suddenly froze; he had forgotten to tell Yan Shaozhe about Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's situation.

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo were puzzled. They exchanged a glance, and then Qian Duoduo asked, "What's wrong, Yuhao? Why does your complexion suddenly look so bad?"

Huo Yuhao sighed and explained his mistake.

"My second spirit has a talent skill called Ice Seal. It's the ability that decided the outcome of the final battle. The function of this ability is just like its name: sealing, pure sealing, with no other effects. The price is that my second spirit cannot be used for a month."

"As for Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu, they will also be unable to use their martial souls for a month."

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo stared at Huo Yuhao in astonishment. They had never heard of any martial soul that could seal other martial souls for such a long period of time.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head sheepishly and continued, "If they hadn't used their Soul Fusion Technique and only one of them had been affected by this ability, the original duration should have been three months. But the Soul Fusion Technique, Netherworld White Tiger, blocked one-third of the sealing effect, and the two of them shared the sealing effect equally, so the sealing time was only one month."

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo exchanged a glance. Then, Qian Duoduo patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said somewhat helplessly, "I'm going to the Martial Soul Department now to tell Yan Shaozhe what you said. Next time, remember to make sure you explain things clearly as soon as possible, understand?"

Huo Yuhao nodded with a wry smile, "That ability was too taxing. I passed out right after the match and completely forgot about it."

Qian Duoduo nodded to Xian Lin'er, then walked to the entrance of the Ninth Experimental Zone, opened the gate, and immediately headed towards the Martial Soul System.

Xian Lin'er raised her hand impatiently and gently tapped Huo Yuhao's forehead, saying, "Come on, let me see if you've fallen behind on your studies lately. Go to your manufacturing station."

Huo Yuhao followed Xian Lin'er somewhat awkwardly as they walked over.

Shrek Hospital, Comprehensive Sanatorium.

"what!"

Zhu Lu woke up suddenly from a nightmare, drenched in cold sweat. She sat up, breathing heavily, her eyes filled with exhaustion and panic.

After regaining her composure, she realized that she was no longer on the competition stage in the assessment area, but on a hospital bed in the sanatorium.

The sun was about to set, and the orange-red light of the setting sun shone through the windowpane, falling on the white blankets covering her, creating an indescribable sense of loneliness.

Who actually won the match?

Zhu Lu didn't know the answer, but a cold, icy face suddenly appeared in her mind. It was the opponent that she and Dai Huabin couldn't defeat quickly even when they used the Netherworld White Tiger technique together.

Zhu Lu felt a sudden pang of fear. She had a vague sense of foreboding. Had they lost?

A hint of doubt flickered in her beautiful, dark eyes. But after looking around, she realized that the sanatorium was completely empty except for her. Zhu Lu couldn't get the answers she wanted from anyone else.

What exactly happened?

Zhu Lu didn't understand the reason for that inexplicable palpitation. She could clearly feel the abundance of soul power in her body. Apart from being slightly tired mentally, her body had almost recovered.

So, what exactly happened?

As Zhu Lu pondered, she subconsciously activated her martial spirit.

"Huh?"

Zhu Lu was immediately gripped by immense fear; her martial spirit, her Netherworld Cat martial spirit...

She couldn't feel it anymore.

So it was because the Martial Soul disappeared?

What exactly happened? My martial spirit.

The last scene before Zhu Lu fell into a coma flashed through her mind—that person.

Huo Yuhao!

Huo Yuhao's ability!

Zhu Lu could no longer remain calm; she wanted to find Huo Yuhao immediately and get to the bottom of things!

Without even having time to change into her school uniform, Zhu Lu, still in her hospital gown, hurriedly jumped off the bed, slipped on a pair of slippers from the sanatorium, and rushed to open the door.

"Bang!"

A tall figure at the door blocked her way, and Zhu Lu accidentally bumped into him.

Fortunately, the man quickly caught Zhu Lu, otherwise she would have definitely fallen to the ground.

The man looked at Zhu Lu with puzzlement, then asked, "Little girl, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhu Lu composed herself, looked at the person who had helped her, and politely bowed. "Thank you for helping me. I'd like to go find someone."

The man paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "You must be Zhu Lu?"

Zhu Lu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, acknowledging her identity.

The man continued, "You've discovered there's something wrong with your martial soul, haven't you? I'm Qian Duoduo, the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, and Huo Yuhao's godfather. I'm here to explain this to you and Dai Huabin. By the way, where's Dai Huabin?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Lu's eyes. The vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department came to explain to us personally? Dai Huabin... So he was in the same ward as me? Where is he?

Zhu Lu took a couple of slow breaths, then shook her head blankly. She really didn't know where Dai Huabin had gone.

Zhu Lu felt a little upset, but she really had no reason to demand that Dai Huabin report his whereabouts to her. He woke up first, so he naturally left.

Qian Duoduo walked into the ward without making a sound, found a stool and sat down, then gestured for Zhu Lu to sit down as well.

"Oh, Dai Huabin isn't here. Let me make things clear first, and if you see him later, please pass on my message."

Zhu Lu nodded quietly, then looked at Qian Duoduo with some urgency, hoping he could answer her question quickly.

Seeing the girl's miserable appearance, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but curse Dai Huabin in his heart for being such a heartless man, not even staying by his fiancée's side at a time like this!

"Huo Yuhao's ability is a seal, which means your martial soul is unusable. It will take about a month. During this time, focus on cultivating your soul power. When the time comes, your martial soul will return. Dai Huabin is in the same situation as you. If you see him, just let him know."

A month?

Zhu Lu subconsciously bit her lower lip; she found it hard to accept.

"Dean Qian, could you please break the seal for me right now?"

Qian Duoduo looked at her with some difficulty, "To be honest, I only just learned about your situation from Huo Yuhao. I can't say whether the seal can be lifted immediately. How about this, I'll talk to him for you, and he can come to you personally to explain."

Zhu Lu nodded somewhat reluctantly.
