Douluo Continent: Becoming a disciple of Jing Liu, illuminating all the gods

Chapter 77 Another day of filler.

Xu Sanshi said, "Your class of students is truly outstanding. Not only you, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao entered the inner academy, but several other students also skipped grades to enter the inner academy."

"How many? Besides Dai Huabin, who else?" Huo Yuhao asked curiously.

Xu Sanshi said, "There are three more. Ning Tian, ​​the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda support-type battle spirit master; Wu Feng, the Red Dragon attack-type battle spirit master; and Xie Huanyue, the Pipi Elephant defense-type battle spirit master. Look, isn't that over there?"

Huo Yuhao followed Xu Sanshi's gaze and indeed found Xie Huanyue's figure.

Compared to a few years ago, Xie Huanyue had grown much taller and seemed to have gained a lot of weight. His appearance had also changed considerably, after all, everyone goes through puberty. Dai Huabin walked up to him at this moment and said a few words to him. Xie Huanyue's gaze naturally turned towards Huo Yuhao.

Their eyes met, and Huo Yuhao raised his wine glass in a gesture of respect, after all, he had no grudge against Xie Huanyue.

Xie Huanyue nodded to him as well.

Xu Sanshi asked, "What comes to mind when you think of those guys being able to get into the inner academy?"

Huo Yuhao asked, "Have their strength all broken through level fifty?"

Xu Sanshi nodded and said, "Even within Shrek Academy, they can all be described as geniuses, just like you and Wang Dong. Although they don't have twin martial souls, each of their martial souls is very strong. Especially Dai Huabin, whose performance in the past few years has been quite dazzling. His soul power should have exceeded level 55. You know, he used to study in the outer academy and didn't have the advantage of twin martial souls like Wang Dong. Judging from his current momentum, he will definitely break through level 60 within two years. Among our Seven Devils, Nan Nan and Xiao Xiao's cultivation speed may not be able to keep up with him."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "I can't catch up either!"

Xu Sanshi said irritably, "How can you, a freak, be compared to others? Don't use yourself as an example. Although I don't think Dai Huabin is better than you, his talent is even above that of Senior Dai Yueheng. If he causes trouble for you tomorrow, you'd better be careful, after all, it concerns your lifelong happiness."

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "Third Senior Brother, why do you sound like I'm sure I'll find my sweetheart tomorrow?"

Xu Sanshi laughed too: "As long as you're not so stupid that you're practically snot-nosed, you'll definitely find it."

Huo Yuhao was a little embarrassed by Xu Sanshi's way of describing him, but he could still feel Xu Sanshi's concern for him.

"Come on, let's have some more. It's rare for the academy to pay for wine. This wine is really good today, at least ten years old, and it's already been decanted beforehand. These two barrels of wine are quite valuable! Look at how pathetic Beibei is."

Beibei and He Caitou were chatting on the other side, right next to a barrel of wine. Beibei drank very quickly, downing a glass in just a few gulps, then grabbing another and drinking it immediately. Even He Caitou, a big guy, couldn't drink as fast as him.

Xu Sanshi frowned slightly and said, "Beibei hasn't had a good time these past two years!"

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly; he certainly knew what Xu Sanshi meant.

Xu Sanshi sighed and said, "In this vast sea of ​​people, finding someone is incredibly difficult. Although we all know Xiaoya might be in trouble, he just won't believe it. I've seen him drinking alone late at night several times. Compared to his outward strength, he's actually quite fragile inside. Xiaoya holds too much weight in his heart."

Huo Yuhao clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Teacher Xiaoya will definitely be alright."

Xu Sanshi nodded and said, "We will all pray for her."

The two had already reached Bei Bei and Cai Tou as they talked. Bei Bei's eyes were already misty. He smiled slightly at Huo Yuhao, gently patted his shoulder, downed his glass of wine in one gulp, and said, "Yuhao, remember what your senior brother said. You must cherish the people in front of you. Only after losing them can you feel how deep the pain is. I'm not drinking anymore. I don't want you to see your senior brother's weak side. Let's go!" With that, he waved to the three of them and walked away with slightly unsteady steps.

Huo Yuhao wanted to chase after him, but Xu Sanshi stopped him: "Don't go. At a time like this, no amount of comforting words are as good as letting him have some peace and quiet. We've already said everything we could say. He doesn't want to get drunk in front of us; he wants to preserve his last bit of dignity."

Xu Sanshi has known Bei Bei the longest, and is undoubtedly the one who understands him the best.

Huo Yuhao turned away. He truly didn't want to see his senior brother like this, and his eyes involuntarily reddened. Is this love? If one day, the person I love suddenly leaves me, will I end up like my senior brother?

Bei Bei's loneliness ultimately affected everyone's mood, and this so-called bachelor party passed by hastily. Huo Yuhao and his senior brothers lived in different places; his dormitory on Seagod Island had already been assigned to someone else, so he could only stay temporarily at Seagod Pavilion.

Walking slowly to the Sea God Pavilion, gazing at the towering golden tree, Huo Yuhao finally couldn't hold back his tears. He wasn't just grieving for Bei Bei; returning here also reminded him of the departed Elder Mu!

Facing the direction of the Sea God Pavilion, he knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times towards the tall ancient tree.

"Teacher, I'm back. I missed you so much." Before he could finish his sentence, Huo Yuhao was already sobbing uncontrollably.

This was his home; only here could he truly relax, both physically and mentally. Two and a half years later, he finally saw Poseidon Island, Poseidon Pavilion, and the Golden Tree again.

Huo Yuhao cried for a full quarter of an hour, as if he wanted to release all the emotions he had accumulated over the past two years.

Moon has passed away, Electrox's consciousness has dissipated, and Teacher Xiaoya has disappeared... These are all the people closest to him!

At the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he was so resilient that he barely slept more than a few times a month. He spent most of his time either drawing blueprints or cultivating.

More than two years have passed, and Huo Yuhao has grown up and become more mature. But no matter what, he is still only seventeen years old. For many of his peers, who are still psychologically dependent on their parents, he has already shouldered many responsibilities on his own.

Elder Xuan stood quietly not far from Huo Yuhao, occasionally raising his wine gourd to take a sip. He didn't try to comfort Huo Yuhao. This emotional outburst wasn't a bad thing for Huo Yuhao; on the contrary, it allowed him to release the pent-up emotions within him.

Elder Mu, you still managed to take on two excellent disciples even in your twilight years!

Elder Xuan's eyes were filled with relief, while not far away, inside the Sea God Pavilion, a pair of clear pinkish-blue eyes were watching Huo Yuhao kneeling there, sobbing uncontrollably. Several times he couldn't help but want to rush out to comfort him, but was stopped by the two people beside him.

Do you want to lose everything you've worked for?

"It's not a big deal. Hold it in. Crying won't be a bad thing for him. Men don't cry easily. I think he's under too much pressure."

"But he was crying so hard. I..."

"Stop looking, you're crying. Tomorrow, everything will be alright. With Elder Xuan here, he'll be fine. After all, he's a Soul King level expert; how could he possibly get hurt because of crying?"

"Huo Yuhao".

Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw that the person who came was Chen Qiye.

"Chen Qiye, it's you."

Chen Qiye nodded.

"Are you here to see the teacher too?"

I guess so.

"Unfortunately, that's how life is. Some people leave, some people come, and no one will stay by your side forever. In the end, you're all alone."

"By the way, I haven't asked you where you've been these past few years?"

"I found something, and it took quite some time. As for why I disappeared, that's not something I can say."

Chen Qiye and Huo Yuhao chatted for a long time before parting ways.

Huo Yuhao cried so hard that he was almost delirious. He didn't even know when he got back to the Sea God Pavilion, or how he got into his room. Once inside, he just collapsed and fell asleep.

A faint golden light slowly seeped from the walls of Huo Yuhao's room, turning into specks of golden light that drifted down onto him, as if gently soothing him.

Huo Yuhao, in his sleep, seemed to feel the warmth, his furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and he slept even more soundly.

When he awoke from his deep sleep, he felt completely relaxed and comfortable, his fatigue gone. It was a world of difference from the coma he had experienced at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"I'm home." Lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Huo Yuhao had a faint smile on his lips. Home is still the best place.

Hugging his sun-scented blanket, he rolled over, feeling even more comfortable. Even though the sunlight was streaming into the room, he absolutely refused to get up.

He drifted off to sleep again, and when he woke up, he felt refreshed. The only discomfort was in his stomach.

Why am I so hungry!

Getting out of bed, Huo Yuhao rubbed his sleepy eyes and peered out the window at the sky. What he saw startled him. The sun was already setting! It was past noon! Had he slept for so long?

He hadn't even practiced the Purple Demon Eye today; that was the first thing that came to his mind. However, nothing seemed particularly important today. He might as well go home and rest for a day.

He slept well all night and felt particularly energetic. He got dressed and went out.

The Sea God Pavilion never lacked food. Huo Yuhao found some fruit and snacks to fill his stomach, and after eating, he headed straight for the Sea God Island dormitory area. He wanted to find a few senior brothers first to see how things would be arranged for the day.

Oh right, there's that Sea God's Fate event tonight. Huo Yuhao patted his forehead; he was still a little sleepy and had almost forgotten about it.

Now my senior brother will surely tell me the rules.

When he arrived at Beibei's dormitory, Xu Sanshi and He Caitou were also there.

The living conditions for the inner court students were naturally much better than those for the outer court. Rows of two-story buildings sat scattered across Seagod Island. Each building could accommodate two students. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi naturally occupied one of them. He Caitou, like Huo Yuhao, was homeless, but since he couldn't stay at Seagod Pavilion, he simply made do with Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's place last night. The place was spacious enough that one more person wouldn't be a problem.

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother," Huo Yuhao greeted his three senior brothers.

"Junior brother, you didn't just get up, did you?" Bei Bei asked with a smile. He seemed to have fully recovered and showed no signs of his dejection from last night.

Huo Yuhao said somewhat embarrassedly, "I just woke up. I haven't slept this well in a long time. Maybe it's because I'm home, so I slept especially soundly."

He Caitou nodded in deep agreement, saying, "I feel the same way. I slept exceptionally well last night. Sleeping is much more comfortable than meditation!"

Xu Sanshi rolled his eyes and said, "You slept so comfortably, but we two brothers suffered. Your snoring was so loud it almost shook the ceiling down."

Beibei sighed softly and said, "I also have to thank Caitou. At least with his thunderous snoring, I temporarily forgot about Xiaoya."

"I...do you guys have any humanity?! Is it really that bad?" He Caitou said indignantly.

"Yes!" Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi nodded in unison, clearly having been thoroughly harassed last night!

Huo Yuhao suppressed a laugh, the days spent with his senior brothers were always so pleasant.

Xu Sanshi said, "Hey Caitou, shouldn't you go see a doctor? Your snoring is so loud, even if Xiao Xiao ends up with you at the Sea God's Fate event, the two of you will have a hard time! Who can stand not being able to sleep at night?"

He Caitou protested, "I can meditate, and if I don't sleep, I won't snore. Do you sleep all day long?"

"Hmm, that makes sense." As Soul Masters, they don't sleep much; they obviously spend much more of their nights meditating.

Huo Yuhao, trying to smooth things over for his second senior brother, asked, "Senior brother, what are the rules for tonight's Sea God's Fate event, and how many people will participate?"

Beibei said, "You've come to the right person. Apart from me and Senior Sister, no one else knows the exact number tonight. We're in a great position to get to know you better, so I'll tell you some things to keep in mind, at least to ensure you don't run into any problems before you confess your feelings."

Xu Sanshi, He Caitou, and Huo Yuhao all immediately stood up.

Xu Sanshi and He Caitou both had their own goals. Huo Yuhao also vaguely harbored his own dream girl. But these three brothers had one thing in common: none of them were certain of their feelings.

Let's not even mention the ill-fated couple Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan. Although Jiang Nannan occasionally shows a hint of concern for Xu Sanshi, most of the time she treats him with cold indifference and indifference.

He Caitou and Xiao Xiao had a slightly better relationship. Originally, there was some ambiguity between them, but Xiao Xiao was still young at the time, and He Caitou was unusually shy in this regard, so they never officially established a relationship. He Caitou and Huo Yuhao were gone for more than two years. He was even afraid that Xiao Xiao had forgotten him. How could he possibly be sure?
