Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao's Path of the Knights

"I never imagined that Grandpa Butler had so many cooking tips."

Inside the library, Huo Yuhao was reading the notes that his butler had lent him.

Recently, Huo Yuhao has been spending extra time almost every day reading his butler grandfather's notes.

Although this wouldn't increase his strength, Huo Yuhao wanted to give it a try.

He wanted to see if he could make that amazing dish.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the time, then gently put away the butler's notebook, stood up, and walked towards the door.

"Grandpa Butler should be here soon."

Huo Yuhao quickly walked towards the academy gate. Before he even reached the gate, he saw the butler waiting there from afar.

"This is for the young master, and this is for you. Thank you for your help, Yuhao."

The butler handed Huo Yuhao two exquisite but slightly different lunch boxes that he had prepared.

During this period, he always prepared two meals, one for Tian Ce Sword and the other for Huo Yuhao.

"It's alright, Grandpa Butler."

After putting away the two lunchboxes, Huo Yuhao headed towards his dormitory.

Back in the dormitory, Tian Ce Sword was cultivating, but after Huo Yuhao entered, Tian Ce Sword sensed the movement and opened its eyes to look at Huo Yuhao.

"The butler made this for you."

"As the Sword of Heavenly Strategy, I will surpass you and become the most outstanding genius among Soul Masters!"

"Whatever you say goes."

Huo Yuhao stared speechlessly at the Tian Ce Sword. During their time together, this guy kept talking about the pinnacle, surpassing, and family glory.

Completely disregarding what others say, they simply continue to speak their own words.

"It doesn't matter. No matter what, I will stand at the top and become the pinnacle of everything!"

"well……"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and sighed, then ignored the Tian Ce Sword and sat down at his table, opening his lunchbox.

Grandpa Butler is a very good cook, so not only are his noodles delicious, but his other dishes also have their own unique characteristics and flavors.

As he savored these exquisite delicacies, Huo Yuhao suddenly recalled the cooking techniques he had just watched.

He had been reading the butler's notes for a while, but hadn't tried it himself yet.

Perhaps I can try it sometime.

……

After finishing his meal, Huo Yuhao put away his lunchbox. Since the Tian Ce Sword would not use a lunchbox that had already been used, these exquisitely designed boxes were all disposable.

After tidying up a bit, Huo Yuhao got up and left the dormitory.

Today is Friday, and he is going to see Teacher Zhang.

Inside Zhang Hong's office.

"Yuhao, this should be the last time you come to my place this semester, right?"

"Yes, Teacher Zhang."

The Royal Soul Guidance Academy will be on holiday next Sunday and September, at which time he may not be able to come and see Teacher Zhang.

"What are your plans for the holiday?"

Zhang Hong looked directly at the exceptionally talented young man before him, wanting to know his plans for the holiday.

"Teacher, I want to go back and take a look."

Huo Yuhao said this, even though his identity was fake, he really didn't plan to stay at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy during the holiday.

He never forgot the mission that Armored Guy and his team had given him: to find clues about the Zerg.

During his months at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, after searching on his own, Huo Yuhao discovered that there were almost no clues about the alien insects within the academy.

At least with my current level of expertise, I can't find any clues.

But the boy didn't want to give up, so he decided to go to the Sun Moon Empire, where there were many soul beasts, to look for clues.

After all, he himself encountered the alien insects on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Perhaps I will encounter clues related to the alien insects.

"Going home? That's good. You've been busy for months, you really deserve a rest. But please be careful on the road, and don't act impulsively if you encounter any problems. If possible, come back to the college and tell me, and the college and I will try to help you solve them."

Zhang Hong was unaware of Huo Yuhao's true thoughts. In his view, the eleven or twelve-year-old boy was simply homesick and wanted to go back to visit.

"Going back is fine, but if possible, Yuhao, I hope you can take a good rest during your vacation, even if it's just for a day or two."

"Should we take a break?"

"That's right. You've been studying at a high intensity since you enrolled. While studying is indeed important, taking breaks now and then can make you more efficient, so don't push yourself too hard."

"Okay, teacher, I will take a break during the holidays!"

Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously, and seeing that the boy agreed, Zhang Hong didn't say anything more, but changed the subject.

"Also, to prevent any accidents, remember to take these with you when you go back."

Zhang Hong shifted his gaze to the spatial soul tool placed on the table. He reached out and picked up the spatial soul tool, then took out a meticulously crafted soul tool that he had prepared beforehand.

"Teacher Zhang, what is this?"

"This is a defensive level 7 soul tool that I specially made for you. It has two modes: continuous defense and powerful shield. The continuous defense mode can last for up to 15 minutes, while the powerful shield provides three seconds of super strong defense."

As he spoke, Zhang Hong continued to take out other items from the spatial soul tool.

Soul power milk bottle, medicinal herbs to aid cultivation, three months' worth of dry rations, and even an unknown amount of gold soul coins.

"Teacher Zhang, aren't these too many?"

Seeing Zhang Hong still taking items out of his spatial soul tool, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh.

"You are a genius that the academy is focusing on. Your talent is so high that I have never seen anything like it in my life. So for a genius like you, we can't be too safe."

Although Zhang Hong's tone was calm, Huo Yuhao could still feel the care he received from his teacher's words.

"Yuhao, remember this: in special circumstances, use these things if necessary. These things aren't important; the important thing is that you come back safely!"

"Thank you, teacher. I will come back safely!"

……

After leaving the office, Huo Yuhao prepared to return to his dormitory to cultivate.

On his way back, he unexpectedly ran into his roommate, Tian Ce Jian.

However, unlike his appearance in the dormitory, Tian Cejian looked slightly disheveled, with many wounds on his body, slow steps, and heavy breathing, as if he had gone through a fierce battle.

"Has the Tian Ce Sword been defeated?"

Looking at the miserable state of Tian Ce Sword, Huo Yuhao had some guesses in his mind.

Due to his personality, Tian Ce Jian had offended quite a few people recently, and among them were bound to be some straightforward individuals. As a result, Huo Yuhao often heard others talking about Tian Ce Jian's battles with others.

Most of the time, Tian Ce Jian is the victor, after all, he is quite strong and has an incredibly powerful combat talent.

However, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. This time, Tian Ce Jian probably offended someone far stronger than him, which is why he was defeated.

Huo Yuhao glanced around at the people and found that none of them wanted to help Tian Cejian.

It seems this guy isn't very popular at school.

Huo Yuhao hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly and decided to go up and help the other person.

They are roommates after all, and if something really happened to him, the butler would probably be very sad.

Huo Yuhao stepped forward and came to the side of the Tian Ce Sword:

"Let me help you back to your dorm."

"No need! As the sharpest weapon of the Tian Ce family, I have no need for anyone's pity!"

"This is not something to be pitied..."

"No need! One day I will stand at the pinnacle of everything and surpass everyone!"

"..."

She still doesn't listen to what others say, just like always.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh, then shook his head and stopped paying attention to the other party.

After all, the other person didn't look like the type to ask for help.
