Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

Chapter 176 The verdant Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao

To relieve her depression, she decided to go outside for a walk.

Although it was already evening and the bright moon was high in the sky, Wang Dong still couldn't put his mind at ease because Huo Yuhao hadn't returned yet.

Just as Wang Dong walked downstairs, he saw a familiar figure.

"That's—Master Otto."

"What is he doing here so late at night?"

"Could they be looking for Yuhao?"

Wang Dong took the initiative to greet him. Although she still disliked soul tools, her opinion of Xu Yang had improved considerably after the last incident.

"Mr. Otto is a good person!"

Xu Yang had no idea that Wang Dong had already given him the "friend zone" card.

"Mr. Otto, are you here to see Yuhao?"

Xu Yang did come to find Huo Yuhao. He wanted to confirm Huo Yuhao's exact departure time so that he could make preparations in advance.

"Yeah, Yuhao isn't in the dorm again?"

"Hehe, he went to his nice senior's place."

"I don't know why it's taken so long to come back after suppressing a wicked fire."

Wang Dong's words were filled with resentment.

"Maybe she's encountered some difficulties. After all, your senior sister Ma Xiaotao's evil fire is quite powerful. Although Yuhao is at the pinnacle of ice, the difference in cultivation level is still there, so it's understandable that it takes her more time."

Xu Yang began to analyze the situation for Wang Dong in a reasoned and well-founded manner.

"So that's why?"

"With such a large difference in their cultivation levels, won't it cause any damage to Yuhao's body?"

Wang Dong also inquired about Huo Yuhao's health.

That's how quickly they built up that goodwill.

"No, that's not the case. I'm sure you've noticed that Yuhao's cultivation speed has increased significantly recently. This is the reward Huo Yuhao received after suppressing Ma Xiaotao's evil fire."

"That evil fire is actually the soul power that Ma Xiaotao cultivated. Every time it is suppressed, it is refined by Huo Yuhao. So, it is actually a good thing for Yuhao."

Wang Dong had fallen completely silent at this moment.

"That's right, it can help the pretty senior and improve one's cultivation at the same time. How could Huo Yuhao, who has always pursued power, let such a good thing pass by?"

She now understands why Huo Yuhao was so late in returning home.

"By the way, I heard the Soul Master Competition is about to start. When does our academy plan to set off?"

Xu Yang asked this question as if they were having a casual conversation.

"Teacher, is there something you want Yuhao to bring back for you?"

"Yes, Xingluo City has quite a few local specialties. I hope Yuhao can bring some back for me."

"I can pay you."

"Since Yuhao isn't here, I'll just give it to you. It's all the same anyway. Just remember to buy back the things on my list for me later. Whatever's left over is your reward."

Xu Yang took out a storage soul tool, which was the only soul tool that Wang Dong wasn't too opposed to.

However, this storage soul tool is a bit special. While it can store items, it is also a tracking and listening device. As long as the holder is within a radius of 200 kilometers, Xu Yang can use the matching locator to find his location and obtain everything the other party says in real time.

Although Xu Yang knew they would go to the Mingdou Mountains, to the Western Army Group controlled by Dai Hao.

But—it's always good to have an extra layer of insurance.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Also, if you're feeling down, try looking at the moon; it might help ease your worries."

Xu Yang's figure disappeared from Wang Dong's sight.

Wang Dong was still staring blankly in the direction Xu Yang had left.

Three days later, in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, by the shore of Poseidon Lake.

"The main reason I called you here today is to discuss your joining the Shrek Academy's supervisory team."

In the following minutes, after Xuanzi's motivational speech, a group of children with an average age of no more than thirteen or fourteen joined the so-called Shrek Inspection Team with great enthusiasm.

They had no idea what awaited them a few days later.

"Our inspection team's first task is to deal with a heretical soul master who is active in the Mingdou Mountains."

Xuanzi went on and on about the evil spirit masters, and then the group set off in a grand procession towards the Mingdou Mountains—

It flew off in that direction.

"Ahead lies the residence of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger. Little Dai is now in your care."

Xuanzi patted Dai Yueheng on the shoulder.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Dai Yueheng flew over, and Wang Yan began to explain Dai Yueheng's identity to everyone.

However, apart from Wang Dong, even Ma Xiaotao didn't notice that Huo Yuhao's emotions were off.

Xu Yang, Zhang Lexuan, and Di Tian had been watching from the sidelines. With Di Tian's cover, it was quite easy for them to escape Xuan Zi's senses.

Xu Yang watched with great interest, while Zhang Lexuan and Di Tian remained expressionless.

Both of them knew that Xu Yang had come here for a reason. Originally, Di Tian was going to take action directly, but Xu Yang stopped him.

The strongest Soul King in history hasn't appeared yet, so how can this grand drama end like this?

After the Shrek Academy students present were led over by an old man named Durex, they also saw the legendary White Tiger Duke Dai Hao.

As soon as Dai Hao came out, Huo Yuhao noticed that Ma Xiaotao's expression when she looked at Dai Hao was a little different.

Dai Hao was tall and imposing, with a resolute appearance. Because he was in the military, he also carried the tough and steely aura of a soldier.

After Shrek and his group settled down, Xixi, who was closer to Ma Xiaotao, whispered to her.

"Sister Tao, the way you were looking at Duke White Tiger just now was so intense. Yeah, that kind of tall and mighty man is your favorite type."

Ma Xiaotao pinched the soft flesh on Xixi's waist, but Xixi, being an agility-type Soul Master, dodged it. At the same time, Xixi, as if enjoying the spectacle, said, "Dai Yueheng, how old is the White Tiger Duke this year? Do you think our Sister Xiaotao still has a chance?"

Dai Yueheng frowned, then said in a very serious tone, "Don't talk nonsense. My father had no other mistresses besides my mother. He once said that if a man can't even be faithful, how can he stand tall and upright?"

"Therefore, my brother and I have always held our father in high esteem and regarded him as an idol. Also, this time it's out of consideration for our classmate relationship. If you dare to say such offensive things again next time, I won't be so lenient."

"snort!!!"

Dai Yueheng snorted coldly, clearly warning Xixi not to be ignorant.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao was already seething with anger. Wang Dong noticed Huo Yuhao's emotional state, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

"Sister Tao, so in your eyes I'm just a tool to suppress the evil fire? For so many days, I thought—"

"Furthermore, if Duke White Tiger has no other mistresses, then what is my mother, and what am I?"

At this moment, Huo Yuhao not only felt green on the head, but his desire to kill off the White Tiger lineage also reached its peak.

Within his spiritual sea, Electrolux let out a barely perceptible sigh, as if he had made some important decision—
