Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

"Everyone has different thoughts. For example, what do you think the eliminated trainees would think?"

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, keenly noticed the change in this so-called Uncle Lin.

He was also aware that his slander and Shrek's behavior had probably aroused the dissatisfaction of the so-called other party, but he was too lazy to say anything more.

He has his own path to walk now, and as for how others will fare in the future, if he can offer guidance or is willing to speak up, that is already more than enough.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but stroke her chin and ponder this.

Just then, as they were getting closer to completely leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, the group began to move forward.

Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly changed, while at the same time, Uncle Lin's face flashed with joy.

Because Huo Yuhao's spiritual power sensed a very powerful fluctuation of soul power, at least at the Soul Saint level.

However, seeing the so-called Uncle Lin's joy, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he must be one of the other party's people.

With a rustling sound, a figure, or rather several figures, appeared in front of the three.

The leader was dressed in a light green outfit and appeared to be around forty years old.

The soul rings beneath his feet were the best configuration: yellow-yellow-purple-purple-black-black-black.

The martial spirit behind it is also the same Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron.

Upon seeing the other person, Xiao Xiao instinctively couldn't help but throw herself into their arms, her tone slightly coquettish.

"Second uncle."

The man Xiao Xiao called her second uncle couldn't help but rub Xiao Xiao's head, his expression filled with guilt.

"Xiao Xiao, it's all your second uncle's fault. If your second uncle hadn't been careless, you wouldn't have been separated from us."

In response, Xiao Xiao shook her head and said with a somewhat firm tone.

"Second Uncle, it's not your fault. Who could have predicted that two extremely terrifying auras would suddenly appear, causing two ancient soul beast clans to suddenly appear and charge towards us?"

Listening to Xiao Xiao's explanation, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but suddenly have a strange emotion flash across his eyes.

It seems that Xuanzi's pursuit of that 100,000-year-old soul beast not only separated him from Lin Jiayi, but also brought considerable trouble to the Xiao Clan and the others in front of him.

At that moment, the one called Ling Shu suddenly knelt down in front of the so-called Second Uncle Xiao Xiao, and said in a tone of great remorse.

"Master Yun, I... I was so incompetent just now that I almost caused Miss..."

These words instantly made the so-called second uncle look at Uncle Lin with a puzzled expression in his eyes.

After that, Uncle Lin did not choose to hide anything, and after recounting his encounter with the three-thousand-year-old Purple Shadow Lion and how Huo Yuhao came to his rescue.

The so-called second uncle, along with the others dressed in the same family attire behind him, were all visibly shocked.

One of them, after being the first to react, looked at the so-called Uncle Lin and couldn't help but question him.

"Were you just hit by some kind of illusion-type soul skill?"

There seems to be no other way but to explain Huo Yuhao's combat power, which is so excessive that it is almost unreasonable.

Upon hearing this, the second uncle took a deep breath and then looked at Huo Yuhao.

He stepped forward, nodded slightly, and spoke with a sincere expression.

"Thank you so much, young friend, for saving my niece."

Huo Yuhao, seeing that it was someone else's second uncle who was acting this way, clearly understood that the other party was not a guard, so he didn't directly accept the situation and simply stood there, choosing to accept it.

Instead, he clasped his hands together and spoke in a slightly casual tone.

"It was just a moment of enthusiasm."

Clearly, the man referred to as "Second Uncle" shook his head in disapproval.

“This is not just a momentary act of kindness. If it weren’t for you, my niece would probably have been devoured by beasts. So, I wonder where your sect or academy is located? I will definitely come to thank you in person.”

Although the so-called second uncle spoke sincerely, after learning about Huo Yuhao's terrifying strength, he also wanted to take the opportunity to see if he could make friends with him.

At that moment, the expression on the face of the man referred to as Second Uncle suddenly changed.

As they became serious, most of the people behind them instantly completed the possession of their martial spirits.

Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief after sensing that aura with his mental power.

As the figure appeared, it was none other than Lin Jiayi.

Lin Jiayi, upon seeing so many people, ignored them and instead looked at the unharmed Huo Yuhao. He first breathed a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but go to Huo Yuhao's side to check him over and make sure he was alright.

Only then did he feel relieved, though his tone still carried a hint of lingering fear.

"Yuhao, thank goodness you're alright. It's all because I'm too weak."

Seeing Lin Jiayi's reaction, Huo Yuhao tried to comfort her.

"Uncle Jiayi, this is not your fault."

Lin Jiayi, however, did not respond to Huo Yuhao's words at this moment, but instead set his sights on the Xiao family and others.

As for Xiao's second uncle, he seemed to realize that Lin Jiayi was Huo Yuhao's elder, so he stepped forward and took the initiative to speak.

"Hello, sir, this is a long story..."

Immediately after hearing this brief description, when Lin Jiayi recovered from her shock, she looked at Huo Yuhao with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

There was no other way. Under those circumstances, Lin Jiayi naturally hoped that Huo Yuhao would not meddle in other people's business. After all, even a level 5 Soul Master would not dare to be careless with the three-thousand-year-old Purple Shadow Lion.

The Xiao family and others could understand Lin Jiayi's reaction; they would also hope that their younger generation would not choose to do such a dangerous thing in that situation.

"May I ask if I may inquire about your family's power or name? Would you be willing to visit us another day to express my gratitude?"

"No need, it might be inconvenient, since we belong to the Sun Moon Empire."

After Lin Jiayi shook his head, he finished speaking.

The expressions on the faces of everyone in the Xiao family changed slightly.

The people who originally belonged to the three kingdoms of the continent, although their power is not directly hostile to the Sun and Moon Empire now, are gradually becoming stronger than the Sun and Moon Empire.

This causes these forces to react somewhat differently when facing the people of the Sun Moon Empire.

Lin Jiayi seemed to be used to it. After the other party realized what was happening, he said a few more polite words and then left with Huo Yuhao.

However, watching Huo Yuhao's departing figure, a strange emotion flashed across Xiao Xiao's expression...

Chapter 44 Mutant Ice Silkworm, Master of Fabrication Huo Yuhao

Only after Huo Yuhao and Lin Jiayi had completely left did the man referred to as Uncle Lin...

The man called Uncle Lin then looked at the so-called Second Uncle Xiao and couldn't help but complain.

"They're from the Sun Moon Empire, no wonder they slander Shrek Academy."

Xiao Xiao frowned at this.

For the first time, I felt a slight dissatisfaction with the guard who had been with me since childhood.

Regardless of Huo Yuhao's identity, he had just risked his life to save the two of them.

Huo Yuhao just risked his life to save the two of them; that's an indisputable fact.

Although Shrek Academy had a good impression of her before, Huo Yuhao's words were a wake-up call for her.

This so-called top academy on the mainland is not necessarily perfect.

When Xiao Xiao's second uncle looked at the so-called Uncle Lin, his eyes were filled with a hint of disapproval.

"Be careful what you say. He just saved you too, but that's just how he is."

Upon hearing this, the so-called Uncle Lin suddenly lowered his head, as if he had been enlightened.

Thinking about how the other person saved him, he felt somewhat ashamed, but still somewhat resentful.

However, this is not his fault, but rather the result of long-standing stereotypes and the resulting antagonism.

Xiao Xiao, as if she had mustered up her courage, couldn't help but look at her second uncle.

"Second Uncle, regarding Shrek Academy, could we go and check again to see if there's anything like the situation he described?"

This instantly changed the expressions of the other members of the Xiao family.

Why did Xiao Xiao choose to obtain the first soul ring of her second martial soul ahead of time? It was so that she could pass Shrek Academy's test and stay there, and even better, get into the inner academy.

The Inner Court holds an extremely special status in Shrek Academy, and even in the entire continent.

However, this so-called second uncle did not immediately express his opinion. Instead, he pondered for a while before slowly speaking.

"Then send someone to investigate. But if we can't go there, going to the Heavenly Soul Royal Soul Master Academy would be a good alternative for Shrek Academy."

The rest of those words made Xiao Xiao lower her head, furrow her brows, and remain silent.

Seeing this, the second uncle couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

To be honest, how could someone as shrewd as him not see through Xiao Xiao's thoughts?

The key point is that Xiao Xiao has already made so many preparations to enter Shrek Academy.

The possibility of giving up outright is almost negligible...

On the other side, on the way back, Lin Jiayi couldn't help but glance at Huo Yuhao and asked him a question, seemingly unintentionally.

"Yuhao, what do you think of that girl?"

Huo Yuhao, having been reborn, quickly understood the unspoken meaning in the other person's words.

For a moment, he felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. As his former friend, saving the other person was what he should do, but how old was he to have such feelings for him?

"Hmm, quite cute."

This is an ambiguous answer.

This instantly made Lin Jiayi's heart leap into his throat.

Then, after leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, he realized something and spoke somewhat nervously.

"Yuhao, your second spirit ring isn't really white, is it?"

Lin Jiayi could even imagine that with Huo Yuhao's talent, the number one soul in a thousand years, if his second soul ring absorbed the white one...

Then, after I get back, I'll take into account the fact that I failed to protect Huo Yuhao.
