Douluo: Crossing the Yuhao Star Palace Master

Chapter 72 Ling Luochen's Dream Lover
After a night, Ma Xiaotao and Huo Yuhao gradually woke up from their cultivation.

Huo Yuhao, fearing he might see something he shouldn't, decisively chose to close his eyes and rest, activating the Star Attraction Technique to regulate his spirit energy. The Sun Emblem, which had shown signs of awakening due to Ma Xiaotao's fiery spirit energy, had vanished once more.

After a night of training, Huo Yuhao's Flame Demon Tiger King's left metacarpal bone had become much purer in origin fire, and its fusion with the star purple fire had also become deeper.

As Huo Yuhao carefully sensed the changes in himself, Ma Xiaotao tiptoed out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her as she slipped away, trying to make as little noise as possible. They both tacitly chose to give the other some wiggle room.

As soon as Ma Xiaotao left the bedroom, she leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh. Everything that happened between her and Huo Yuhao yesterday was now replaying in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it at all!
If only one of them had been more proactive, the job would have been done!

Ma Xiaotao blushed, spat, and then looked down at her sweat-stained and wrinkled clothes, frowning. She was still clear that most of this was her own fault.

Huo Yuhao wouldn't despise me, would he? If he dared to despise me, I would beat him up!
After thinking this to herself with some trepidation, Ma Xiaotao simply ran into the bathroom to take a cold shower.

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes only after Ma Xiaotao left. Although it was Ma Xiaotao who was sweating most yesterday, his clothes were undoubtedly also affected.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Huo Yuhao decided to return to the dormitory and clean himself up. With this in mind, Huo Yuhao pulled out a pen and paper from his soul guide, left a note for Ma Xiaotao on the coffee table in the living room, then tiptoed through the door of Ma Xiaotao's cabin and scurried away.

By the time the young woman, whose heart had just been stirred, had taken a good bath, changed her clothes, and emerged from the bathroom, Huo Yuhao was no longer in the room. Ma Xiaotao picked up the note Huo Yuhao had left with a hint of disappointment. Her slender, fair hands couldn't help but exert a little force, crumpling the paper into a ball.

"You have to leave first? What a great idea! You have to leave first! Just wait for me, you little bastard!"

Ma Xiaotao cursed and used her soul power to burn the note into ashes in an instant.
It was now time for the first class in the morning, and Huo Yuhao had just enough free time to take a good shower in the dormitory.

After making up his mind, Huo Yuhao hurried towards the outer courtyard.

Small boats were generally available for transportation on both sides of Poseidon Lake, but few people actually had the luxury of using them. Most of those with sufficient strength would simply fly using their spirit power, while those with lesser abilities would often devise their own special abilities to cross Poseidon Lake.

Huo Yuhao was a prominent example of the latter. Although his second martial spirit was currently unusable, he still possessed the ultimate ice-attributed spirit power. By freezing the lake water with this ultimate ice-attributed spirit power, Huo Yuhao was able to easily navigate across Seagod Lake.

It was morning, and the waters of Seagod Lake were a brilliant blue, blending beautifully with the cloudless sky to create a stunning scene. Walking across the lake for the first time, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of extraordinary tranquility. There was an occasional gentle breeze, but none of the hustle and bustle of a school. The tranquility was so profound that it made him linger, reluctant to leave.

Huo Yuhao gradually slowed his pace, lightly touching the blue water in the lake, with frosted petals forming a stage. Recalling the graceful dance steps of the Snow Empress in the Far North, he could not help but follow his heart and replicate the beautiful dance here one by one.
There aren't many environments in Shrek Academy that are suitable for ice-attribute soul masters to practice, but fortunately, ice and water have the same origin, and this vast Sea God Lake can be an excellent environment for ice-attribute soul masters to practice.

As the only ice-attributed soul master in Shrek's inner courtyard, Ling Luochen was naturally aware of this. Whenever she didn't have classes, she would come to the Sea God Lake and use the water element, which was derived from the same element as ice, to mimic the environment and assist in her cultivation.

She had no classes this morning, so she wouldn't let go of this rare opportunity. Her feet tapped the ice flowers, and Ling Luochen hummed a little tune with joy as she walked from the shore of the Sea God Island to the depths of the lake. The water and the sky merged into one, a clear blue. A gentle breeze blew across the empty lake.
Huh? This wind! Why is it so cold? No! I'm an Ice Soul Master, how can I feel cold?

Ling Luochen was startled and looked up. In the distance, a figure was dancing on the frost-covered ice platform.
The black ponytail moves in the wind, the slender figure seems to be flying like a bird, and the cold white face is clean without any flaws.
Is this a boy? Is this the ultimate ice?
For the first time in her life, Ling Luochen, before she was even twenty, felt her heart flutter. The young man before her was like a dream lover, a one-to-one reproduction created by heaven according to her aesthetic taste.
She stared at the scenes before her in a daze, like an art connoisseur discovering a rare and unprecedented treasure. Ling Luochen's ice-blue eyes were devoid of lust, filled only with reverence and delight.

She had never really believed in gods, but for the first time, she wanted to thank God from the bottom of her heart for bringing this young man to her.

The chilly breeze gradually died down, and the frost-covered ice platform gradually melted, leaving only a half-inch of frost flowers. Huo Yuhao finally performed the Snow Empress's solo dance to its final act. He knew someone was watching him, but moved by emotion and following his heart, he performed the Snow Maiden's dance to its finale.

When Huo Yuhao came out of his previous state of mind and opened his deep blue eyes, he saw an icy beauty with long straight black hair staring at him blankly with her icy blue eyes.

"you are."

Ling Luochen was in a trance when she heard a clear but slightly distant call. After a pause, she realized that it was the young man in front of her who was asking her a question.

"Ah, hello. I'm Ling Luochen from the inner courtyard. May I ask who you are?"

The boy showed a gentle and somewhat distant smile, just like the sunshine in winter, somewhat warm and slightly cold.

Huo Yuhao bowed slightly and said with a smile, "I'm Huo Yuhao, a first-year student from the Outer Court. Nice to meet you, Senior Sister Ling."

Huo Yuhao? The adopted son of the two deans of the Soul Guidance Department? The champion of the freshman assessment? So, he was Huo Yuhao?
Ling Luochen was a little at a loss. After a moment of silence, she took out a light blue jade token from her ice-blue gemstone ring and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"Here, you can come to the inner courtyard to find me when you have time. I want to learn more about your ultimate ice. I hope you can give me a chance to get to know you later."

"Huh?" Huo Yuhao was stunned. He hadn't expected this icy beauty to be so direct on their first meeting. After a brief silence, he finally accepted Ling Luochen's token.

"Senior, you can come to me when you are free. I also have many questions about cultivation that I would like to ask you."

A smile appeared on Ling Luochen's cold face. "It's a deal. Let's just say it this way."
