Douluo 2: The sickly sister is the group's favorite

Chapter 259 Something bad happened
The two said goodbye downstairs. Huo Yuxi returned to the room with a pile of stones. He looked up and saw the familiar figure sitting on the sofa.

Huo Yuxi: “…”

She reluctantly sat down next to him and took out all her things.

Xiao Hongchen smiled, consciously helped to tidy it up, and took out the ore inside.

“These pieces should all be rare metals.” Huo Yuxi smashed the mud and rocks on the surface with a punch, cleaned them up, and picked up the broken iron pieces from the ground.

Xiao Hongchen narrowed his eyes and pulled her up to prevent her hands from being cut.

He circulated his soul power, gathered the metal on the ground into mid-air and fused them together.

He had no interest in gambling on stones before.

One reason is that I know it’s full of waste, and the other is that I don’t want to waste time.

But considering the rarity of the ore in Huo Yuxi's hand, he might not be able to buy it. This can be regarded as a formal lesson...

"Good luck." He looked at Huo Yuxi with a smile in his eyes.

After helping to organize the things here, Xiao Hongchen took the initiative to help Huo Yuxi put all the things into the storage soul guide.

“Although we don’t have a match tomorrow, we can still go and watch it. The winning team will enter the knockout stage and become our opponent.”

"Yeah." Huo Yuxi held a piece of ice ore that she had carefully selected just now in her hand. She swept her black soul power over it slightly, and found that it was corroded.

Xiao Hongchen looked at her actions, wondering what she was trying to do.

"This is ice ore that can be used to carve the core formation of an eighth-level soul guide. It is much more valuable than other ore. Why did it get corroded?"

"It's a gift for you." Huo Yuxi's expression became more serious. The crystal ore in her hand gradually took shape, and she raised a happy smile.

Xiao Hongchen didn't understand what she meant at first, but when she stopped what she was doing and saw the vivid Q-version sculpture on the table...

"Is it so cute?" He reached out and picked up the small thing. It was not even as big as his palm and was a very cute Q-version little figurine.

If you look closely, you can even observe some of his own characteristics.

Huo Yuxi raised his head proudly, "A reward for accompanying me."

"Reward, I want something more practical." Xiao Hongchen leaned forward and motioned for her to express it with practical actions.

But Huo Yuxi obviously had the wrong idea, "Then I'll change it again."

She took the figurine back, and the power of light in her body surged out, illuminating the entire room. The golden lines on her forehead appeared and disappeared, looking sacred and mysterious.

These minerals can be used as materials for soul guides, which is obviously extremely special in itself. After being endowed with the power of light by Huo Yuxi, they look even more crystal clear.

"My aura of light is sealed inside. If you are in danger, I will not only be able to sense it immediately, but I will also protect your heart in time!"

Xiao Hongchen paused, raised his hand to touch her head, and then gave her a light kiss on the cheek.

"I should go back..."

"Yeah." Huo Yuxi responded, but the strength in his hands did not loosen.

In the end, Xiao Hongchen went back.

Huo Yuxi did not watch the third round of the game, but he heard from other people how brutal the game was.

In this round alone, five people died and more than twenty people were seriously injured. On average, there were casualties in every round...

In previous years' competitions, there have never been so many deaths until the end!

This also caused dissatisfaction among the major sects and academies.

The people who could represent the competition were all extremely talented disciples and students from the sects, so naturally they would be questioned when such a big incident happened. The Sun-Moon Empire was also helpless and had to issue a notice, promising to try to control the situation on the field in the next competition.

Huo Yuxi's mood became increasingly heavy. When they came here, they had thought of letting the reserve players go on stage to experience the rules firsthand when they had the chance.

But now everyone has unanimously given up this idea. Unless it is necessary, the eight reserve players will not have the opportunity to play...

With the next day to rest, Huo Yuxi originally wanted to go find Huo Yuhao and give him the things.

But what awaited him were several empty rooms.

Back upstairs, she sat down next to Wang Qiuer in a depressed mood, "Sister Qiuer, do you know where my brother and the others went?"

"I don't know." Wang Qiuer was very leisurely. After reading the information in her hand, her heavy mood disappeared without a trace.

Because there are not many people here who can threaten her.

The most important thing now is to train Dai Huabin and others, and try not to fall behind in the competition or cause any accidents.

"Why are you looking for them?" Wang Qiuer glanced at her several times, "You are so free, why don't you go and train with them!"

"You said it at the beginning. Teamwork is equally important."

Huo Yuxi never thought that this sentence could be used to smother herself. She looked at Wang Qiuer with resentment and said, "Then let's go together!"

Anyway, we can't let her suffer alone!
As for why it is suffering, it starts from the previous training...

Dai Huabin was not kidding when he said that seeing Huo Yuxi was like taking an IQ-reducing drug. Except for being normal on the court, he was uncooperative in other areas.

Unless Huo Yuxi or Wang Qiuer suppresses him by force.

But if this happens frequently, Huo Yuxi will get annoyed and his efficiency will be even lower.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the training place, Huo Yuxi saw the undisguised disgust in Dai Huabin's eyes from afar.

"You are poisonous!"

She really couldn't help it. What kind of fool was he!
When he saw Huo Yuhao, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit, but he only felt disgust towards her.

Did this person hate her so much that he had no intention of beating her up?
Huo Yuxi took the opportunity to vent his anger by beating Dai Huabin during the competition, which seemed to be a bit disappointing.

Her hatred for Dai Huabin did not diminish with the passage of time, but instead became deeper.

But I was able to stay rational. This was a competition, and no matter what, I had to wait until it was over to resolve these personal grudges.

And compared to Dai Huabin, she hated Dai Hao and the Duchess even more.

According to what He Qing told her, the conditions for growing the evil species are very harsh. Not only does it require finding suitable embryos, but it also requires the mother to take medication for a long time.

In the Duke's Mansion, apart from the Duchess, she couldn't think of anyone else who could drug Huo Yun'er without anyone noticing.

...

We need to find representatives tonight to conduct the group draw for tomorrow's round-robin tournament.

The person sent by Wang Qiuer was Dai Huabin.

After Huo Yuxi found out, he had a bad feeling that something was wrong.

Sure enough, when he came back, everyone heard the news that they were assigned to the same group as the Tang Sect and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Dai Huabin didn't seem to think there was a problem. What he wanted most was to defeat Huo Yuhao and win the competition. Now this result undoubtedly hit him hard.

Wang Qiu'er was fine, but Huo Yuxi was wondering what would happen if the Shrek and Tang Sect teams met...
