Douluo Continent: Newcomer Yuhao, thank you Lan Xuanyu

A stream on the outskirts of the Starry Sky Forest.

Zhang Lexuan wore a light white outfit that allowed for easy movement, but due to her outstanding looks and figure, she managed to make the outfit look like a gorgeous gown.

"Sorry, Yuhao, your match isn't even over yet, and I'm already dragging you out..."

She sat on a cushion with her arms wrapped around her knees, and apologized to Huo Yuhao, who was busy at work.

She hadn't expected Huo Yuhao's mental strength to be so formidable, and she really couldn't wait any longer.

That day, Huo Yuhao's mental interference field not only blocked Lan Xuanyu, Wang Dong, and others, but also Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao, who were focused on watching the battle, as well as a certain Super Douluo.

Only by seeing it with one's own eyes can one know the truth of the matter. Then, the dean of the Martial Soul Department excitedly expressed that he could take Huo Yuhao as his disciple, but Zhang Lexuan refused on the grounds that Huo Yuhao was still too young.

Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing, Teacher Le Xuan. I've already advanced; I just need to wait for the finals. Besides, I don't want to run into certain people these next few days..."

Indeed, after Wang Dong's "true feelings" that day, rumors began to spread... but thankfully most of them were directed at Wang Dong.

Gossip can get ridiculously outrageous when it spreads. Because both he and Wang Dong are quite good-looking, even considered the most handsome men in the foreign language department, they were quite popular figures.

He was a little better off because of the rumors about Ma Xiaotao, but Wang Dong was in a much worse situation. There were rumors that Wang Dong had homosexual tendencies and tried to force himself on Huo Yuhao, who refused and left, etc.

To avoid the limelight and to fulfill Zhang Lexuan's wish, the two hit it off the next day and went to the Starry Sky Forest to pay respects at the graves of her deceased classmates.

As usual, they had to fill their stomachs before getting down to business, so the two of them grilled meat and fish by the stream where they had found the golden hawksbill turtle.

Faced with Xiao Huo's barbecue noodles, which were imbued with a seductive power, Zhang Lexuan, who was usually aloof from worldly affairs, revealed a greedy look.

Seeing Zhang Lexuan's eager eyes, Huo Yuhao smiled and handed her the grilled pork skewers and grilled fish.

"Alright, Teacher Lexuan, please enjoy."

"Thanks."

Zhang Lexuan reached out and almost snatched it, took a bite, and savored the delicious taste that bloomed on her tongue. A look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"It's so delicious! I've heard Xiaotao talk about your barbecue skills, but I didn't expect it to be this good! I wish I had you cook for me every day."

Huo Yuhao gave a wry smile. "If it weren't for this trick, my mother and I would probably have starved to death in Xingluo City."

Well... it's not exactly starving to death, but Uncle Baili Du forced him to learn how to cook, especially grill fish. At the time, he said something quite absurd: "Learning to grill fish and cook is your guarantee for finding a wife."

"Really? If it's okay, can I come to your house during the holidays?"

"Hey, isn't that a home visit...?"

Zhang Lexuan was amused and reached out to pinch Huo Yuhao's face and pull it, "Hehe...yes, let someone's mother know that her good son doesn't study properly all day long, and stares at his teacher with lecherous eyes during class..."

"I... I didn't look at Teacher Lexuan with any lewd gaze..."

"Hmph... well, let's see how you perform from here on out..."

Honestly, Huo Yuhao felt he hadn't been leering at Zhang Lexuan as she claimed. In fact, during class, it was Zhang Lexuan who would occasionally cast complicated glances his way...

After a round of playful banter, Zhang Lexuan finally calmed down and composed herself.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Yuhao! This time, our goal isn't to fight, but to use your ability to conceal ourselves from the soul beasts."

It's kind of... kind of satisfying my little bit of whims.

Zhang Lexuan paused, her booted feet kicking nervously on the ground. "And also, no matter what happens, if I tell you to run, you must run! Don't stop no matter what happens, understand?!"

Huo Yuhao was taken aback, pursed his lips, and nodded silently.

"...I understand. But Ms. Lexuan, you'll have to give me extra points on my final exam this time."

Zhang Lexuan reached out and touched his hair. "...Let's go. I'll leave the rest to you."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a pale golden light, and released his two soul skills, Simulation and Mental Interference Domain, enveloping the two of them.

The two figures completely disappeared into the lush thickets of the Star Dou Great Forest.

In the original timeline, Old Huo's simulation, which was merely a thousand-year-level soul skill, was enough to fool a level 98 super Douluo like Xuanzi. Admittedly, Xuanzi himself was incompetent, but this was enough to show how powerful the Ice Silkworm clan's life-saving soul skill was.

Moreover, this little Huo's simulation and mental interference domain is a million-year soul skill...

But simply hiding one's figure is not enough; soul beasts have very sensitive noses and can smell the scent of humans immediately.

Then, a large number of dark blue dragon scales emerged from Huo Yuhao's left hand. With a gentle wave, a light mist of water permeated the area around the two of them.

Just like taking a shower removes the smell of sweat, this mist can mask the scent of Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao to the greatest extent possible, thus blocking out the smells of those soul beasts with a keen sense of smell.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had meticulously completed these preparations, Zhang Lexuan nodded in agreement, "Okay! Let's not delay, let's go!"

……

A place of great misfortune, a lake of life.

A spirit beast that looked like both a lion and a dragon was lazily lying by the lake, idly watching the shimmering surface of the water.

Just then, the Eye of Destiny on her forehead suddenly throbbed, causing her to stand up and look north with a surprised expression.

"That's... the aura of destiny!"

Without hesitation, golden flames erupted from its claws, lifting it as it flew outwards.

Just then, a majestic voice rang out, "Auspicious Beast, where are you going?"

The three-eyed golden lion pouted in dissatisfaction. "Di Tian, ​​I sensed the power of destiny of someone like me! I want to go and see."

Di Tian's majestic voice carried a hint of astonishment, "A power of destiny of the same kind as yours? That's impossible... Could there be a second auspicious beast in this world?"

The three-eyed golden lion ignored him, flames rising beneath its feet. "I don't have time to explain in detail, I need to go and take a look."

After a few seconds of silence, its voice softened slightly, "Perhaps it has some connection to that power."

A dense, almost tangible, dark power surged up, enveloping the three-eyed golden lion. "No! You cannot leave this ominous place yet!"
