Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 675 Han Hao's Headache

Two years later.

In the past two years, a lot has happened. Starting from the freshman assessment, Huo Yuhao began to stand out at Shrek Academy. Then, he won the Soul Master Competition and even overshadowed Han Hao for a time!

Of course, this is also due to the comparison.

From the beginning, few people had high hopes for Huo Yuhao. After all, when Huo Yuhao entered the school, he was only at level eleven. No normal person would think that he could become one of the Shrek Eight Monsters. Han Hao, on the other hand, swept through the school from the very beginning, unstoppable. No matter how amazing Han Hao did, no one was surprised. At most, they would just sigh, "As expected of Han Hao!"

Huo Yuhao is different. He made a comeback all the way, especially after awakening his second martial soul. His strength improved by leaps and bounds. In addition, with the body refining secret technique and soul refining secret technique given to him by Han Hao, Huo Yuhao has now surpassed 99% of his peers!

What's rather absurd is that two years ago, Han Hao's cultivation level was a full seventeen levels higher than Huo Yuhao's. However, two years later, with Huo Yuhao cultivating both elements simultaneously, this gap has actually narrowed. Han Hao is now only at level forty-seven, while Huo Yuhao has already reached level forty!

This is all under the premise that Huo Yuhao has not absorbed the fourth soul skill!

However, Han Hao was not too surprised by this.

Since their frank conversation two years ago, Huo Yuhao had completely let down his guard against Han Hao, sharing almost everything with him, including the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion—in fact, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion had vaguely guessed Han Hao's identity, but she was hesitant to speak of it.

Getting back to the main point, as far as Han Hao knows, Huo Yuhao has a million-year soul ring, a four-hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and a four-hundred-thousand-year torso bone!

This is only what Huo Yuhao himself knows; he even has secrets that he himself cannot explain!

In this light, it's not surprising that Huo Yuhao has achieved such success.

Han Hao wasn't jealous of Huo Yuhao. At most, he might be a little envious of Huo Yuhao's million-year spirit ring, but after learning that the spirit ring came from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, he no longer had such thoughts.

Regardless of whether the attributes are compatible or not, a million-year-old ice silkworm is still an ice silkworm, isn't it?

A soul ring from an ice silkworm with a cultivation of a million years is not as valuable as a soul ring from a top-tier soul beast with a cultivation of three or four hundred thousand years!

One or two 100,000-year soul rings are not worth Han Hao's jealousy.

It is worth mentioning that a year ago, the previous leader of the Sea God Pavilion, Mu En, perished in a bloody battle with the Holy Spirit Cult.

This incident was a huge blow to Huo Yuhao. For a whole year, he was immersed in his own world, doing nothing but cultivation and studying, almost to the point of madness!

Although Han Hao was also somewhat saddened, he didn't feel the same way as Huo Yuhao. Mu En had indeed wanted to take Han Hao and Ning Bingning as disciples, but they were rejected. Ning Bingning seemed extremely resistant to the word "master" and would never accept anyone as a disciple. Han Hao, on the other hand, simply felt that there was no need for it.

Limit Douluo is indeed at the pinnacle of the mortal realm, but Mu En clearly cannot suppress Han Hao's status.

Therefore, when Mu En fell, Han Hao did not feel the pain of losing a loved one. Instead, he felt that Mu En's life deserved the title of "epic"!

In his twilight years, the Holy Dragon roared to the heavens, battling eleven Title Douluos of the Holy Spirit Cult. Six died and five escaped, but who in the world could rival him?

However, the dead are gone, and Huo Yuhao still needs to continue to grow. A few days ago, he went to the Sun Moon Empire to study soul tool knowledge. Although Han Hao thought that doing so was putting the cart before the horse, he couldn't resist Huo Yuhao's desire for the terrifying destructive power of high-level soul tools, so Han Hao simply let him go.

Even Wang Dong'er couldn't stop him, so what right does he have to stop him?!

During the days Huo Yuhao was away, Wang Dong'er couldn't eat or sleep. If two years ago, the two were just beginning to fall in love, then two years later, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er were already deeply in love, just one last layer of glass was needed to make it official!

Seeing Wang Dong'er's distraught state, Han Hao had no choice but to take advantage of the academy's holiday to bring her back to the Haotian Sect to relax and avoid keeping her at the academy from being reminded of him by familiar sights and sounds.

Two years ago, Han Hao needed Zhenbing Douluo to protect him when he went to the Haotian Sect, but two years later, he no longer needs to.

Han Hao, Ning Bingning, and Wang Dong'er are all strong enough to handle most troubles, so there's no need for Zhenbing Douluo to protect them all the time.

It should be noted that Ning Bingning's cultivation level has now reached an astonishing level 55, which is much higher than Wang Dong'er's!

On the way to the Haotian Sect, Wang Dong'er still wore a distressed expression. Her dejected look made Han Hao sigh and say, "Dong'er! Yuhao is going on an exchange program, not going to the battlefield. At most, he'll be back in three years. Why are you so gloomy?"

"Sigh!" Wang Dong'er sighed, saying with a sense of loss, "Brother! I'm so envious of you and Bing Ning! You can be together every day. You're so lucky but don't know it. Three years is a long time! Who knows if there are any vixens in the Sun Moon Empire!"

In front of Han Hao and Ning Bingning, Wang Dong'er no longer needed to hide her feelings, since the two of them had already seen right through her.

However, when Wang Dong'er mentioned Ning Bingning, Han Hao couldn't help but cough twice and glared at Wang Dong'er angrily.

It's not even close to being settled yet, and this girl is already talking nonsense!

Ning Bingning blushed slightly. Seeing that Han Hao did not refute her, she was secretly pleased, but on the surface she still said softly, "Miss misunderstands. I am only responsible for the young master's safety."

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Wang Dong'er nodded in sudden understanding, then looked at Han Hao and asked blankly, "So, brother, you like someone like Senior Xiao Tao?"

In an instant, Han Hao felt as if a steel knife had pierced his heart from behind, and his whole body went cold!

Mentioning Ma Xiaotao in front of Ning Bingning is a minefield that Han Hao has never dared to touch!

Cold sweat involuntarily trickled down Han Hao's forehead. He glared at Wang Dong'er, feigning annoyance, and snapped, "What nonsense are you talking about! There's nothing between me and Senior Xiao Tao!"

"So, brother, you're planning to have both?" Wang Dong'er blinked, murmured innocently, then let out a long sigh of relief, muttering to herself with considerable relief, "Luckily, Yuhao is different from you, brother, otherwise I wouldn't have let him go to the Sun Moon Empire!"

That girl definitely did it on purpose!

Han Hao clearly sensed the chill behind him, quickly chuckled dryly, and said, "Let's hurry on our way! We'll be there soon!"

"Hehe!" Seeing Han Hao's nervous look, Wang Dong'er covered her mouth and chuckled twice before quickly following him.

Looking at Wang Dong'er's cute, playful expression, Han Hao felt both annoyed and amused.

My own little sister is truly my golden armor—the kind I wear inside out!

However, judging from the results, it doesn't seem too bad?

At least now Wang Dong'er is no longer immersed in the sadness of Huo Yuhao's departure.

The only thing that gave Han Hao a headache was Ning Bingning.

If his relationship with Ning Bingning could progress further, he could directly explain things to her; if he had no feelings for Ma Xiaotao at all, he could also calmly accept Wang Dong'er's teasing.

The problem is that he's currently stuck in an awkward position, unable to move forward or backward.

That's how people are, and Han Hao is no exception. He was incredibly strict with Huo Yuhao back then, but now that it's his turn, Han Hao can't stick to his principles. Han Hao feels that he likes Ning Bingning, but Ning Bingning always hides her feelings, leaving Han Hao unable to figure out what she means.

As for Ma Xiaotao, Han Hao knew that Ma Xiaotao had probably taken a liking to him. For the past two years, Han Hao had been helping her expel her "evil fire" twice a month. As the saying goes, familiarity breeds affection, and Han Hao was indeed very outstanding. Although he was a little younger, Ma Xiaotao didn't seem to mind.

Even after Han Hao broke through to the Soul Sect level and completely purified Ma Xiaotao's martial soul, advancing to the Ultimate Flame and transforming into a perfect fire phoenix, Ma Xiaotao always found various reasons to come to Han Hao.

During the Soul Master Competition, Ma Xiaotao's gaze towards Han Hao was clearly strange!

Han Hao wasn't sure if he had feelings for Ma Xiaotao, but on one hand, the girl he liked was indifferent to him, and on the other hand, an equally outstanding girl was pursuing him relentlessly. Who could resist that?!

Even if we take a step back and say that Han Feng married two women, didn't he?

Han Hao doesn't seem to have any problems with his wife!

Even his own grandfather often encouraged him to find him a few more granddaughters-in-law. When has the Han family ever cared about this?

Sometimes, Han Hao also wished that Ning Bingning could be more frank and not be so aloof.

But as the saying goes, the more you like someone, the more timid you become. In the past, Han Hao could talk to Ning Bingning about anything without any reservations, even about arranging Ning Bingning's fate, because at that time, Han Hao did not have any improper thoughts about Ning Bingning.

But now...

Maybe this is fine too. Anyway, Han Hao is only fourteen years old, so he's not in a hurry!
