"That woman... probably wishes I were dead out there."
……
Xuan Hao left the Crown Prince's residence and went straight back to the Tian Dou Royal Hotel.
After a quick tidying up, he set off again with Na'er, who still hadn't had enough fun, heading straight for Sunset Forest.
This time, without the leisure to enjoy sightseeing, Xuanhao moved extremely fast.
For him, the previous two weeks of indulgence were to numb the nerves of all parties, to solidify his persona, and to give his tense nerves a break.
But now, the holiday is over.
In the Douluo Continent, where strength reigns supreme, all conspiracies and schemes, and all human relationships, must ultimately be built upon absolute power.
Without strength, no matter how clever he is, he will ultimately be nothing more than fish on someone else's chopping board.
……
The eye of ice and fire.
The familiar red and blue light was still dazzling, and the air was filled with a violent energy that was suffocating to ordinary people, but felt incredibly familiar to Xuan Hao.
Yue Guan was humming a little tune as he carefully watered a rare herb that had just been transplanted in the distance. When he saw Xuan Hao and the others return, he simply waved from afar and then continued to immerse himself in his world of flowers and plants.
"call……"
Xuan Hao stood by the spring, took a deep breath of the unique energy here, and felt every pore on his body relax.
"It's so comfortable here."
He turned to Dugu Yan and Na'er and said:
"I'm going into seclusion for a while now, at least half a month, or longer... it's hard to say."
"Na'er, just stay here and play quietly. Don't run around. If you get bored, go find Elder Ju."
Having explained everything, Xuan Hao no longer hesitated.
He skillfully removed his outer garment, revealing his muscular upper body, and leaped into the air.
"Pfft!"
Water splashed everywhere.
He plunged directly into the center of the red and blue spring, floating cross-legged beneath the surface.
Having undergone previous tempering, his body had long since adapted to this intensity and even began to greedily devour this energy.
however.
Just as Xuan Hao held his breath and prepared to enter a state of deep meditation.
"Om-"
A gentle mental fluctuation suddenly and without warning came from his left leg, rippling across his mental sea.
Immediately afterwards, a gentle yet somewhat melancholic female voice echoed softly in his mind:
"Xiao Hao, do you have some time lately?"
Xuan Hao's mind stirred, and his soul power, which was circulating, paused slightly.
"Sister Arou? What's wrong? Did Sister Bing bully you again?"
"No, I'm recovering quite well too."
Arou paused, seemingly finding it difficult to speak, but finally sighed softly and asked with deep longing:
"I just... suddenly miss Xiaowu a little."
"Judging by the time, it's been almost a year since we last met in the Soul Hunter Forest, hasn't it?"
"I wonder how that girl is doing at Notting College?"
"She grew up in the Star Dou Great Forest and hasn't had much contact with human society. She's also a bit impulsive. What if she gets bullied?"
"Besides, the human world has many rules. Will she be able to adapt to it, given her free-spirited nature?"
"There's food too..."
Listening to Arou's rambling, detailed chatter, Xuanhao couldn't help but smile and feel a little touched.
This is what a mother is like.
Even if only a wisp of soul remains, even if one is barely able to save oneself, the one who will always be thinking of one's child is still one's child.
"Sister Arou, don't worry, everything will be alright."
Xuanhao smiled and comforted him from within the sea of his mind:
"Who is Xiao Wu? That's a 100,000-year-old rogue rabbit... cough cough, that's a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form!"
"Although she's retaking her studies, her foundation is still there, and her combat experience remains. In a novice Soul Master academy like Notting Academy, she's the one bullying others; who would dare bully her?"
That's what they say...
Arou was still a little worried, "But I always feel empty inside. After all, she has only recently taken human form, and this is the first time she has been so far from home..."
After a moment of silence, Arou's voice became somewhat pleading:
"Xiao Hao, could you... find some time to go see her again?"
“I know you’re very busy right now, having to cultivate and deal with those powerful forces. But I really… want to know how she is doing.”
"Even if I just see her from afar and know that she is safe and sound, I will be at ease."
Feeling the slight tremor coming from his left leg bone, Xuan Hao sighed.
He who takes a bribe is bound to do his bidding; he who eats another's food is obligated to do his bidding.
Having received such a great favor as a sacrifice, he naturally could not refuse this request.
Besides, he really hadn't seen that little rabbit for quite a while.
"Row."
Xuan Hao readily agreed in his heart:
"Sister Arou, don't worry."
"I need to consolidate my cultivation at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well during this time, and also digest some of the good things I just acquired."
"Once this seclusion ends and I've stabilized my cultivation level, the first thing I'll do is go to Notting City!"
"Really?"
Arou's voice instantly revealed a hint of joy.
“Of course, I promised you I would take good care of her,” Xuan Hao said.
"I won't let anyone bully her."
"Of course, except for me."
"..." Arou.
Do you really have to bully her?
Chapter 121 It's all because of you
……
Time flies, white horses pass by.
In the blink of an eye, five years have quietly passed in the rising and setting of the sun and moon at the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
Over the past five years, Xuanhao has led a life that is both regular and fulfilling.
He established his base in Tiandou City and used the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to cultivate like crazy.
Aside from returning to Wuhun City every year without fail to "report to Bibi Dong," teasing his teacher, and taking the time to visit the rabbit and Tang San who were still in junior academy in Notting City, he spent almost all his time improving his strength.
Sunset Forest, the eye of ice and fire.
"boom--!!"
A muffled boom came from the depths of the valley, and then the red and blue spring water seemed to boil, surging up waves tens of meters high.
At the crest of that giant wave, a tall and slender figure stood proudly.
Fourteen-year-old Xuanhao has completely shed his former childishness.
The Golden Dragon Martial Soul granted him a growth rate far exceeding that of ordinary people. Now, he has reached an astonishing height of two meters, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and muscle lines that are as perfect as if carved by a knife and axe, exuding an ultimate sense of powerful beauty.
"call……"
Xuan Hao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his aura as sharp as a sword, leaving a long white trail in the air.
Level 67.
In just five years, he broke through from a level 42 Soul Master to a level 67 Soul Emperor. If word of this speed were to get out, it would probably drive the entire Soul Master world crazy.
This was the result of him deliberately suppressing his soul power and spending a lot of time honing his physical body and mental strength.
Otherwise, with the terrifying power of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, coupled with the meticulous guidance of the two Dragon Kings, he might have already touched the threshold of Soul Saint!
At this rate, breaking through to level 70 Soul Saint and condensing a Soul Core before the start of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament should not be a problem.
"almost."
Xuan Hao leaped out of the spring and landed steadily on the rocks on the shore, casually pulling a long robe over his shoulders.
"I wonder how those girls are doing."
……
Above the valley, in front of the treehouse halfway up the mountain.
After five years of expansion, this place is no longer the simple little house it once was, but has been transformed into an exquisite villa.
In the courtyard, three girls with very different styles, yet all equally stunningly beautiful, were gathered together.
Dugu Yan wore a dark green, tight-fitting outfit that perfectly accentuated her stunning figure. Her long purple hair was casually tied up, giving her a dashing and heroic air.
Now, her soul power has reached level 53, and she has developed the Azure Phosphorous Poison Dragon Martial Soul to its limit. Every move she makes exudes a terrifying pressure.
