Douluo Continent: Starting by controlling the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult

Chapter 61 Heavy Rain Floods the Papal Palace

The results came out quickly: the match in District 66 was decided as a draw, and both sides advanced.

Huo Yuhao of the Dead Fire Sea team was too ruthless and deliberately hurt a student whose soul power was exhausted. However, considering that Xie Huanyue was the inner court student who was originally selected in the team, the academy went back on its word and chose this compromise, reassigning Gou Luanshi's team to another competition area for re-evaluation.

Huo Yuhao had anticipated this. As long as he didn't kill his opponent outright, their team, which possessed Xie Huanyue, would never be eliminated.

In reality, neither Huo Yuhao nor Cui Yajie is inferior to Xie Huanyue in terms of talent. It's just that Xie Huanyue's awakening of his martial soul alerted the academy, and he was discovered too early, so he couldn't hide his talents.

After obtaining his third spirit ring, Huo Yuhao's spirit power directly reached level 39. It was just that his spirit power compression level decreased from level 9 to level 6. Once his fourth spirit ring was completed, he would instantly become a Spirit Master.

This made Xie Huanyue, who knew him best, extremely envious. Others improved their cultivation level by level, and even some Soul Masters with great fortune could only jump three or four levels at a time. Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, would level up ten levels at a time.

After recording the results, the supervising teacher glanced at Huo Yuhao and his companion as they left, thinking to himself, "This group is probably Class Nine's trump card. The students taught by Teacher Mu Jin are indeed quite interesting!" However, Xie Huanyue might be unable to play for a while in the upcoming matches, which might give him a chance to see Huo Yuhao and his companion's true strength.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the same time, Wang Dong's team also successfully defeated their opponent and gained Wang Yan's appreciation. This time, Huo Yuhao was not in Wang Dong's team, but he became interested in Cao Jinxuan's Time-Passing Martial Soul.

The time attribute is always the most mysterious and rarest.

Wang Yan is a representative figure of the theoretical and moderate faction at Shrek Academy. He has a solid theoretical foundation and strong teaching abilities. He is over forty years old and is a top-notch senior teacher in the Department of Foreign Languages.

After the assessment, Wang Dong and his two companions did not leave, but instead watched the other two matches from the sidelines. They only bid farewell to Wang Yan and left after all three matches were over.

Wang Yan didn't stop them to ask any questions. He believed that the full capabilities of Wang Dong and the other two would be revealed in the next few matches.

The first round of freshman assessments ended quickly. The first day's assessments at the academy were mainly to help the freshmen adapt to this intense, competitive assessment style. Therefore, the assessment density will increase significantly tomorrow, with two rounds each in the morning and afternoon, for a total of four rounds. The third day will be even more grueling, with each team undergoing five rounds of assessments. The entire freshman assessment period only lasts three days.

That same afternoon, after all the assessments were completed, the teams that won and advanced to the next round all received the same news at the same time—Xie Huanyue had suffered a severe injury and fallen into a coma!

The only four-ring Soul Master among all the new students will be unable to participate in the battle for at least one day!

This bombshell news is undoubtedly great news for all the new students. Just look at the battle situation of Gou Luanshi's team to see how easily the Fourth Ring could face three opponents with first and second rings. If he hadn't violated the rules by using his soul tool, he would have inevitably ended up being beaten to a pulp by Xie Huanyue.

Similarly, Gou Luanshi, the newcomer who severely injured Xie Huanyue, also attracted the attention of many participating teams. Many people regarded him as a god, while others saw him as a threat that surpassed Xie Huanyue.

Gou Luanshi himself is currently unaware of his newfound fame. He is lying in the infirmary of the outer courtyard, where a medical teacher is treating his wounds. Huo Yuhao's cut was so deep that if Gou Luanshi hadn't been so strong, his sternum would likely have been split in two.

The intense pain caused Gou Luanshi to curse Huo Yuhao's family countless times in his heart, determined to use every means possible to make Huo Yuhao infamous for eternity in the future, to avenge this fatal blow. It's hard to imagine that a mere twelve-year-old could be so vicious.

Rather than caring about a mad dog he wouldn't even glance at, Huo Yuhao attributed the problem more to his own carelessness. Although his last strike nearly killed Gou Luanshi, it was clear to everyone that Gou Luanshi was already at his limit. His carelessness in causing the death of his teammate obviously drew a lot of strange looks.

Huo Yuhao is ultimately just an ordinary person with a human soul. After gaining great power, he becomes complacent and arrogant. He feels distressed and guilty when faced with disdainful looks.

Nighttime, on the shore of Poseidon Lake.

Huo Yuhao sat alone on the railing, staring blankly at the vast starry sky, silent.

"Are you just going to stay like this, wallowing in guilt?" Bibi Dong's voice came at the right moment. "Huo Yuhao, don't let this emperor underestimate you."

"If this is all you're capable of, even if you knew everything beforehand and had access to enough resources, you still wouldn't be a match for Tang San."

"Sorry, I was overthinking it." Huo Yuhao smiled apologetically. Ever since he came to the academy, he had started to think that he was invincible, especially after he obtained his third soul skill. He would no longer face any life-threatening situations in the Douluo plane, which made him become arrogant without him realizing it.

"I'm someone who's afraid of loss. I can't imagine what it would feel like to lose the people and things I cherish again in this life. So, I'm also afraid. I've been through two lifetimes, and I don't have many brothers, Fatty being one of them."

"So you're worried that one day you'll lose even more important people?" Bibi Dong retorted coldly.

"Yes, it's a very unpleasant feeling. After all, this isn't a proper stage yet; it's just a small academy," Huo Yuhao admitted.

"I don't want to lose Fatty, I don't want to lose Zhongli Yu, and I don't want to lose Xiao Tao."

Huo Yuhao lowered his head, staring at his hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "Most importantly, I can't live without you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pulling force arose, and his consciousness was suddenly pulled into the sea of ​​consciousness by Bibi Dong.

Upon returning to his own spiritual sea, Huo Yuhao instinctively widened his eyes.

He stood in mid-air, below which was a vast ocean. The enormous Papal Palace was now reduced to just a few towering buildings barely standing on the water. The torrential rain made his divine consciousness seem like a tiny, insignificant boat.

Seeing this apocalyptic scene, Huo Yuhao opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. Beside him, Bibi Dong's beautiful body slowly appeared.

"Yuhao, whenever you are sad or lost, it will rain here, and a raging flood will engulf everything." Bibi Dong stood with her hands behind her back, neither comforting him nor scolding him.

"I don't like rain because it always reminds people trapped in a cage of sad things. That suffocating feeling makes it hard to breathe until you drown yourself."

"Whenever you are in a bad mood, Tianmeng, Yi Lao, and I lose our spiritual support, we can't see any hope, and we feel despair."

"Because we've staked everything on you."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was deeply moved. His lips trembled slightly as he looked at the person in front of him, who was soaked to the bone from the rain, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"You said you can't live without us, and we can't live without you." Bibi Dong looked at him earnestly, and at this moment, this woman with a tragic past showed him what true strength is.

Because she had been caught in the rain before, she was not afraid of getting wet and was willing to use her gentleness to hold an umbrella for the boy who brought her hope.

Huo Yuhao's eyes welled up with tears. He grabbed Bibi Dong's delicate body and pulled her into a tight embrace. The power of Hao Dong instantly connected and activated, clearing a patch of sunshine in this rainy world.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ilex silently emerged from the water, thinking to themselves, "Your Majesty, if you hadn't added that 'they,' that kid Yuhao would probably have been even more moved."

……

As Huo Yuhao withdrew from his own consciousness, he saw a fiery red figure flying towards him from afar; it was none other than Ma Xiaotao, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

"Yuhao!"

Ma Xiaotao flew to his side in a few breaths and asked anxiously, "I heard from your companions that one of them was injured and fell unconscious during the first assessment today?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, surprised that Ma Xiaotao was the first person to find him here.

"Are you alright? I heard you weren't in a good mood..." Ma Xiaotao asked, cautiously looking Huo Yuhao up and down.

"It's alright, this won't happen again next time," Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head at her.

Ma Xiaotao suddenly felt that the boy in front of her had changed a lot. All his immaturity had faded, and he had matured a lot and become more attractive.

"Then..." Ma Xiaotao's pretty face suddenly turned bright red, "Are you going back to your place tonight?"

Huo Yuhao chuckled. He needed to maintain peak performance for the assessment over the next few days; he didn't want Cui Yajie to become another Xie Huanyue. So he shook his head slightly at Ma Xiaotao, "I'll come and tell you the good news once I've achieved a great victory."

"Oh, okay then." Ma Xiaotao replied somewhat disappointedly, but Huo Yuhao grabbed her hands.

"Thank you for your concern." Huo Yuhao took her hand in his palm and held it as if it were a precious treasure.

"Who, who cares about you?" Ma Xiaotao blushed and quickly turned her head away, huffing softly.

Our male protagonist is actually just an ordinary person's soul, not one of those gods, emperors, or immortal kings. I think writing it this way makes things more realistic, and the protagonist's mind will also experience a kind of otherworldly growth. Going forward, let's accompany Yuhao as he grows up in this life, breaking free from the character's original constraints and living the life he wants.
