Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

I actually lost to a level two Soul Master?

Indeed, Xiao Xiao on the other side is famous for being a genius with twin martial souls.

But isn't he also a genius with twin martial souls? And in terms of martial soul quality, his own martial soul is even superior to Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, and his second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, was once hailed as the number one weapon martial soul in the world.

But even under such circumstances, he still lost.

Although this is an opportunity to test the strength of the Soul Masters near the end of the semester.

It seemed harmless, but it left Wang Dong feeling somewhat distracted.

He couldn't help but think back to how, if he hadn't been so careless from the start, even if Wang Dong had used every trick in the book, he would never have been able to put himself in this situation.

Did they ultimately lose because of their own carelessness?

This fact made Wang Dong chuckle to himself.

On the other side, as the referee's voice faded, a hint of joy appeared on Xiao Xiao's face, which was covered in sweat.

Suppressing his last bit of strength, he sheathed the greatsword and continued on his way.

I looked at a boy in the stands.

The boy had short, clean, and neat black hair with a sharp fringe. His eyebrows were relaxed, and the childishness on his face was gradually fading, replaced by a more handsome appearance.

The moment he stood up, his height had reached 1.75 meters.

If you don't notice the childishness on the boy's face, you might even mistake him for an adult.

With a faint smile on her face and the girl's approval before her, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but share in the joy.

"Yuhao, I won! I really won!"

At this moment, twelve-year-old Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, his words filled with praise.

"Impressive. If you calculate it this way, you've indirectly defeated a level four Soul Master."

This teasing made Xiao Xiao blush, and she scratched her head while quickly explaining.

"No, I was just lucky. How could I possibly beat a level four Soul Master?"

These few teasing words sounded jarring to Wang Dong, who had just come to his senses.

I've lost, and now it seems I'm about to be humiliated again.

The frustration in his heart made him unable to help but recall his experiences over the past two years.

Whether it was by sheer coincidence or something else, I would occasionally run into Xiao Xiao and Huo Yuhao.

Although their relationship is only that of friends, seeing the two talking or chatting intimately...

He always felt a little uncomfortable inside, and occasionally he would even make up some reasons to justify it.

This time, Wang Dong couldn't accept leaving in such a dejected manner, so, pretending to be unintentional, he passed by the two of them before leaving and couldn't help but rack his brains to say something.

"I lost to my arrogance, which made me grow, but I won't lose to my arrogance every time."

These words made Xiao Xiao, who was initially somewhat delighted, frown slightly as she looked at Wang Dong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

The other person's appearance was indeed hard to dislike, but he didn't know why, the other person always seemed to have something against him.

Occasionally, I'll find myself using sarcastic or sarcastic tones and words.

But there was no real malice, or rather, she seemed to sense that the malice wasn't directed at her.

But even when it came to Huo Yuhao beside her, it was still unacceptable to Xiao Xiao, so she simply nodded in response.

Before Huo Yuhao could even speak, she had already taken the opportunity to make a sarcastic remark on his behalf.

"Oh right, you're the best, acting like no one else can't improve."

"you!"

One sentence seemed to ignite Wang Dong's anger, making him point at Xiao Xiao and mutter for a long time, but he couldn't say a word, after all, it was a fact that he had just lost.

And so, Wang Dong stomped his foot, glared fiercely at Huo Yuhao, and turned to leave.

This scene, though it happens frequently, still makes Xiao Xiao mutter to herself.

"Yuhao, you know he's good-looking, but why does he always seem a bit gay? Sometimes his temper is even more girly than mine, a girl."

In response to Xiao Xiao's complaints, Huo Yuhao's eyes only flashed with a deep and complex emotion.

The reason is simple, or rather, the reason he has always chosen to ignore it is because he knows the other party's identity.

Wang Dong, or perhaps Wang Dong'er, was originally a girl.

In the past two years, he has come to understand what it truly means to be subject to the arrangements of fate, something that is difficult to escape.

As long as he's not in the lab, Wang Dong will always randomly appear in various places that seem neither too close nor too far from him, and the two will often run into each other.

This was undoubtedly his own destiny, or rather, the arrangement of the God-King.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, went from wanting to struggle at the beginning to gradually becoming numb.

Since we can't change things right now, we might as well just ignore them with a touch of indifference.

"Hey, Yuhao, you absolutely mustn't let him turn you gay!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao looking at Wang Dong's departing figure with that complicated expression, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but ask a question, which made Huo Yuhao cough suddenly.

With a somewhat strange expression, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao.

How could you think that?

Xiao Xiao, on the other hand, simply and seriously began to analyze the situation.

"Look at her, she's just as good-looking as any girl. And while she sometimes provokes you and gets the short end of the stick, there's no deep-seated hatred between you two. It's not like those mortal enemies who, after spending a lot of time together, develop feelings for each other, and their orientations might even change."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao suddenly choked, seemingly unable to refute the claim.

After all, in her past life, during her interactions with Wang Dong, despite his constant avoidance of her feelings, she had genuinely experienced some attraction to him.

Honestly, if we continue to interact like that...

In his past life, he might have truly accepted his fate and become gay.

This sent a chill down Huo Yuhao's spine as he recalled the events, and he glared at Xiao Xiao with annoyance.

"Can we please stop watching all this fancy stuff?"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask another question.

Will you be confident then?

Upon hearing this word, a hint of guilt flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes, but she quickly puffed out her slightly flat chest, patted it, and said.

"Don't worry, I can definitely handle it."

These words also caused a hint of worry to appear in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

The matter he mentioned was none other than the preliminary selection competition for the Sun Moon Empire Soul Master Academy, which was to begin after the end of this semester.

That's right, strictly speaking, there are less than two months left until the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament.

Chapter 122 A Brand New System, Reserve Team Captain

Whenever he thinks about this incident, Huo Yuhao's memories of his past life always unconsciously surface before his eyes.

What was I like back then? After making a name for myself with my second martial soul, I successfully achieved dual cultivation of martial soul and soul guidance.

In that Shrek Academy reserve team selection competition, relying on everyone's efforts and the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they finally made it to that position.

However, in the end, he still relies on others. And what about Huo Yuhao right now?

This made him recall the situation a few days ago, when there was almost no selection process, and Jing Hongchen simply told him directly.

He was appointed as the captain of the reserve team this time.

Out of personal considerations, Huo Yuhao naturally preferred to have Xiao Xiao join the so-called reserve team.

After all, Xiao Xiao is now on the right track, and it is undeniable that she will be able to get more resources if she joins this reserve team.

However, although Xiao Xiao currently possesses twin martial souls and has diverse abilities, it still seems somewhat difficult for her to break through from this reserve team, which caused a hint of hesitation to appear in Huo Yuhao's eyes.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Yuhao!"

This made Huo Yuhao subconsciously turn around, and he was shocked to see a pair of white-haired siblings walking towards him.

Both of them are extremely good-looking.

The girl's face showed a lively air, while the boy was not arrogant, but rather composed.

Upon seeing them, Huo Yuhao unconsciously smiled, for the brother and sister before him were none other than his old acquaintances, the Hongchen siblings.

Upon seeing Huo Yuhao, Meng Hongchen instinctively smiled and, upon seeing Xiao Xiao, inquired about the battle results.

"Xiao Xiao, who did you choose?"

"Hmph, I chose the highest difficulty Wang Dong, and I defeated him."

As Xiao Xiao spoke, Xiao Hongchen, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment before blurting out his own words.

"He once defeated a level four Soul Master, which is equivalent to an S-level difficulty."

To be precise, with the implementation of the Soul Guidance System, the biggest change is that the annual competition for Soul Guidance Masters has gradually taken on a different content. It is no longer a simple competition of creating Soul Guidance Devices, but a test of the Soul Guidance Masters' own strength.

In practical tests, a scoring standard will be set from A to E, based on the different performances of each individual.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire realized after that youth genius competition that soul masters could no longer focus solely on creating soul tools and relying on a single combat method.

This also led to the addition of this practical final exam.

However, different situations will occur depending on the classification.

Even if the worst grade is E, and the soul tool itself passes the test, the student will still be required to retake the course.

For a D-level rating, the Soul Master needs to achieve a good score in the Soul Guidance Device test, and the result is a combination of both, depending on the circumstances.

However, in most cases, they will be required to take the test again, or at least have the opportunity to retake it.

A grade of C is the standard passing grade.

Once a student reaches Rank B, even if there are errors in the creation of the soul tool, the student's situation will be taken into account during the soul master test. As long as it's not too outrageous, the student can still advance to the next level smoothly.
