Douluo Continent: The Great Summoner Huo Yuhao

The three-eyed golden lion jumped over.

"I'm really surprised you won. But the Ghost Bees are all dead. Are you sure you're okay? This isn't the Star Dou Great Forest, after all."

Why be so persistent?

The three-eyed golden lion couldn't understand it.

"Haha... Yeah, the Ghost Bees are all dead, and Shrek Academy doesn't have any targets for me to use my soul-stealing technique. Plus, I'm broke; I don't have a second soul ring or any living expenses to pay for..."

That's terrible. I never expected things to go so badly so soon after arriving at Shrek Academy.

The battle with Wang Dong resulted in far greater losses than he had anticipated.

Huo Yuhao had analyzed it carefully before, and of all that he had, the system was absolutely the core of the core.

The logic to become stronger is to defeat opponents to accumulate points, then summon a second contracted beast, and then rely on the second contracted beast to hunt for the second soul ring.

While there is an element of gambling involved, it is also a method for rapid growth.

Otherwise, one would have to obtain the second spirit ring through other means, then defeat the opponent to gain points, and finally summon a new contracted beast.

Currently, Huo Yuhao has no other means to acquire a hundred-year-old soul ring.

He had no high-level Soul Masters he knew to help him, nor did he have the financial means to hire someone to help him.

Now, after his battle with Wang Dong, he has almost lost all his fighting ability.

"Man proposes, God disposes... What if..."

Huo Yuhao stared at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. If she were willing to help him even a little bit, even just a tiny bit... how wonderful that would be.

Forget it, I don't want to think about those useless things anymore.

Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, why are you starting to crave help from others? Didn't you already understand the principle that it's better to rely on yourself than on heaven or earth?

For some reason, a face suddenly appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind...

萧萧

She's a righteous girl; if I were to ask her for help with my second spirit ring...

Snapped!

Huo Yuhao slapped himself hard.

That's so pathetic. He clearly owes that girl a huge favor.

Just as Huo Yuhao was lost in thought, the sky was suddenly obscured by a figure.

"Hey! How long are you going to sleep? I only punched you a few times, stop pretending to be dead!"

Wang Dong is back.

Back in her dorm, she couldn't calm down. When her gaze drifted to the window, she saw Huo Yuhao lying there motionless.

A feeling of irritability welled up in my heart again.

So she ran over again, thinking that punching Huo Yuhao a few more times might make her feel better.

But when he finally reached Huo Yuhao's side and saw the bitter smile on his face, Wang Dong ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Why are you back again? Trying to take advantage of me and punch me a few more times?"

Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes at Wang Dong, annoyed. How could someone with such a terrible personality be so good-looking?

"What do you mean? Am I that bad in your eyes? You've taken my kindness for granted. I shouldn't have come to check on you."

Despite having his thoughts exposed, Wang Dong remained calm and composed, speaking his mind without batting an eye.

Anyway, if he insists that he came to show concern for him, there's nothing he can do to him.

"..." Huo Yuhao fell silent. Although he didn't believe that Wang Dong was there to care about him, he was actually relieved that the other party had said that.

Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, he's just saying he cares about you. You can't develop feelings for him just because of a few words.

Seeing Huo Yuhao remain silent, Wang Dong smiled and said, "What's wrong? Now that you know someone cares about you, you poor thing, are you starting to cry your heart out and worship me? Sigh, I'm just too kind."

"So..." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, "Why am I lying here?"

"Then don't worry about it. Just tell me that someone cares about you. Aren't you touched?"

Wang Dong reached out and pulled Huo Yuhao up from the ground. "I have to say, seeing you looking so pitiful is actually quite satisfying."

The two limped to the cafeteria.

It was past lunchtime, and there were only a few people scattered around the college cafeteria.

"You could say we became friends after a fight; you're definitely got something for you to beat me."

Wang Dong randomly picked a few dishes from the few remaining options at the cafeteria window.

Stewed meat from some unknown spirit beast, two cups of rose-red drinks, and roasted lamb chops with a charred aroma.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is the ability of your ten-year spirit ring?"

Wang Dong was very curious. In terms of sheer power, it was actually quite average, but controlling more than ten Ghost Shadow Bees was something that a ten-year soul ring could really do.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao remained silent, she pressed on, "What's wrong? Are you afraid that if I find out your abilities, I'll find your weakness?"

"Weakness? I can tell you directly. My first soul skill, [Soul Absorption], can control soul beasts. Its weakness is that once a controlled soul beast dies, it cannot regenerate."

Huo Yuhao didn't care. Rather than saying he wasn't afraid of others finding out, he wanted his enemies to know that his ability couldn't regenerate.

In a real battle, if the enemy wants to weaken him, they must launch a targeted attack, and he can use this idea to guide the opponent and thus control the battle.

Otherwise, without targeted attacks, as long as the controlled soul beast does not die, where would its weakness come from?

"I see..." Wang Dong said thoughtfully, then was taken aback.

"Doesn't that mean that after I've killed them all and thought I've figured out your secrets, next time you can just switch to a different soul beast and use a completely new fighting style?! How cunning!"

Is this really a ten-year soul ring?

That's incredibly strong, completely unreasonable...

"Yes." His real weakness is the vacuum period during the change.

Just like now, without using a soul tool, there is almost no combat power.

Hmm, it seems I'll have to put some effort into developing soul tools in the future.

"Huh? Isn't this Huo Yuhao?"

A woman's voice rang out.

Huo Yuhao turned around and saw that it was Xiao Xiao.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao's gaze was fixed on Wang Dong's face.

"And this is...?"

For some reason, Xiao Xiao's voice sounded somewhat reserved and shy, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

"Wang Dong... my roommate." Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong.

Despite being stared at by such a spirited and lively girl as Xiao Xiao, this guy remained remarkably calm.

"Wang Dong... nice to meet you, my name is Xiao Xiao!"

Xiao Xiao stretched out her little hand.

Wang Dong, however, remained unmoved.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Xiao Xiao's smile froze, and she quickly withdrew her small hand.

"Haha, you guys eat first, I'll go see what else we can eat at this hour."

After leaving a message, Xiao Xiao walked quickly towards the window in the distance.

Seeing Xiao Xiao walk away, Huo Yuhao glared at Wang Dong with annoyance.

"Hey! What are you pretending for..." Although he was complaining, for some reason, he was in a pretty good mood.

"Huh? Really? I thought I was being very understanding... Did I misunderstand? Huo Yuhao, don't you like her?"

Wang Dong chose to play dumb; she had no liking for guys who used others as stepping stones.

"No way!" Huo Yuhao hurriedly denied, while looking in Xiao Xiao's direction to make sure she had heard him.

"..." Wang Dong fell silent; she had only said it casually...

That guy Huo Yuhao...

What terrible taste!
