Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 159 Vina
"came back."

This seclusion allowed her to achieve a second awakening of her martial soul, and the time it took was not long. For Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King who could sleep for hundreds or thousands of years, it was nothing.

It could even be said that it wasn't as long as the nap she took under the Lake of Life before.

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to a woman next to Gu Yuena.

I recognized him at a glance.

Vina, the princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, possesses twin martial souls: her first martial soul is the Snow Lotus, and her second martial soul is her physical body, the Brain.

Having met once before, the Body Sect planned to use him as a pawn to get closer to the Heavenly Soul in politics.

Of course, that was before. Now that the Body Sect has Huo Yuhao, they have long since put those previous schemes behind them.

"Hello, Young Sect Master. My name is Vina, and I am a core disciple of the inner sect."

Vina speaks softly, yet her eyes are full of rationality. Her skin is fair, her face delicate, like an elf sculpted from ice and snow, and her temperament possesses a contradictory sense of elegance and sharpness.

"Hello, you don't need to call me Young Sect Master, just call me Huo Yuhao."

Although he had been in the Body Sect for half a year, he spent those six months either cultivating or cultivating, his schedule was packed, and he could only talk to Gu Yuena for a few minutes each evening.

Although the disciples of the Body Sect, whether from the outer or inner sects, all knew of his existence and that the sect leader regarded him as the next successor, very few had actually seen what he looked like.

Aside from Long Aotian, Lang Yayutao, and a handful of others, he hadn't really interacted much with the other inner disciples of the Body Sect.

Upon hearing this, Vina gave a look that said, "I knew you would answer like that."

Her martial soul is the brain, which is also a powerful spiritual attribute martial soul. Its greatest strength lies in using existing data to deduce behavior.

Behavior is also a form of data. The moment Huo Yuhao spoke, she had already considered many possibilities in her mind and anticipated all the situations.

However, unlike Huo Yuhao's main spirit which connects to the eyes, cerebral cortex, and brain, hers is simply a brain and is not connected to any other body organs.

Is the brain important? Of course it is. In terms of importance among bodily organs, it is second only to the heart. It can be said that among the younger generation of the Body Sect, her aptitude is among the top.

Of course, it's just that Huo Yuhao doesn't know what Vina just did, wasting her mental energy to deduce his next move. Isn't that just being idle?

Although he could also do this using his mental power, it was completely unnecessary. His fourth soul skill, Time Travel Eye, could accurately predict the next move of others, but he wouldn't idly watch what would happen in the next few seconds.

It's so tiring, okay?

"You and her"

Huo Yuhao couldn't understand how these two had gotten together.

Vina covered her mouth and smiled as she replied.

"You mean Na'er? Female disciples in the Body Sect are already rare, and she's so beautiful. It's not easy for such a great beauty to appear in the sect, so of course I want to become friends with her."

Gu Yuena is not a disciple of the Body Sect, but what does it matter? She is the only person whose background she cannot figure out with her brain. Moreover, Gu Yuena is the only person who is close to Huo Yuhao, besides Long Aotian and the sect leader and elders.

As for Huo Yuhao, the suddenly appearing young sect leader of the Body Sect, she had her father investigate him the moment she learned of the news half a year ago.

Huo Yuhao's information is not difficult to investigate, or rather, anyone who pays a little attention can easily find out his identity and some of his past experiences.

Although nearly two years have passed since the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, some of the events that occurred during the tournament are still being discussed throughout the continent.

Previously, Vina only knew that Huo Yuhao was a Star Luo person who, unable to survive in Star Luo, went to the Sun Moon Empire, where he displayed his Soul Master talent and became the Sun Moon's number one genius. He then participated in competitions with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as a reserve team member, but actually played a key role, and revealed in front of hundreds of thousands of spectators that he was of Star Luo White Tiger Duke bloodline.

Kong Deming's disciples, etc.

However, as her father's investigation progressed, she found things to be getting more and more interesting.

For example, Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger suddenly died before returning to the Sun and Moon. The Sun and Moon took the opportunity to seize the Mingdou Mountain Range, forcing the Star Luo Western Army to retreat to the point where they had to shrink their defensive layout.

And when their own sect leader appeared at the arena, it was clearly the emperor of Xingluo who wanted him to secretly plot against the Sun and Moon Sect. However, their own sect leader suddenly discovered Huo Yuhao's potential. After that, he disappeared for half a year. When he returned, he brought Huo Yuhao with him and made him the young sect leader of the Body Sect.

There's also the royal family from Xingluo, specifically Princess Xu Jiujiu, who shares the same status as me. They say Huo Yuhao is an ultimate attribute Soul Master, and his Martial Soul attribute is the same as mine—ice.

Each and every one of these things made her feel incredulous. How could a person be so audacious!
A man traveled thousands of miles to the Sun and Moon Palace to make a name for himself. During the competition, he openly challenged the Star Luo Emperor and his father, the White Tiger Duke, who was a war god. Now, he also has the background of the Body Sect and is regarded as the successor of the sect leader.
This... Having the powerful backing of both the Sun and Moon Offering Hall and the Body Sect at the same time, is this really something that one person can do? Just what kind of talent does Huo Yuhao possess that would make the two big shots of the Body Sect and the Offering Hall willing to share disciples in order to take him as their disciple?

During this time, she secretly observed him and found that he seemed to do nothing but cultivate. She didn't notice anything different about him. Moreover, his main spirit, the Spirit Eye, never showed the existence of his second spirit. Where did the extreme ice attribute come from?
But that doesn't make sense. She had witnessed Huo Yuhao's battle with Long Aotian before. Long Aotian, the super genius of the younger generation of the Body Sect who was able to defeat him, was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

There's only one possibility: Huo Yuhao is deliberately hiding it. After all, the sect leader wouldn't lie, and neither would the intelligence.

Therefore, taking advantage of this person's reappearance during her seclusion today, she wanted to observe him carefully.

Huo Yuhao had no intention of deliberately hiding his talent. He was simply too busy cultivating, which meant he didn't have time to show off his divine armor in front of everyone, and there was no need for it.

Huo Yuhao took two steps forward and directly broke through the Dao.

“You are a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Body Sect have always been close. I am a Sun Moon person, or rather, I have an official Sun Moon background that cannot be ignored.”

"Now that I have become the heir of the Body Sect and been accepted as the last disciple by my teacher, you all can't sit still anymore. You, or rather your father, are worried that the Body Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect have some kind of connection, so you sent you here to test the waters, right?"

With a smile, Gu Yuena stood up and walked behind Huo Yuhao.

"As for your motives for getting close to my friend, I don't think I need to elaborate here. You agree, right, clever Princess Vina?"

Vina was surprised that Huo Yuhao would speak so bluntly. Even though she hadn't intended to hide anything, she was now somewhat flustered.

As for predicting Huo Yuhao's next words in advance, relying on the brain of the main body's martial soul to calculate Huo Yuhao's micro-expressions and tone, and thus deduce the next countermeasure, it suddenly no longer works.

Because she suddenly found herself unable to deduce Huo Yuhao's purpose. He seemed to be shrouded in mystery, making it impossible for her to understand whether his words were a gesture of goodwill or a warning.

"Both." Vina maintained her composure and had no choice but to tell the truth. "And what is your attitude, Huo Yuhao, the number one genius of Sun and Moon?"

To be honest, the sudden acceptance of Huo Yuhao, the number one genius of the Sun and Moon Sect, as a disciple by the Sect Master of the Body Sect did indeed cause great panic in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

There's no way around it. The overall strength of the Heavenly Soul Empire is what it is, and the Body Sect is the Heavenly Soul's guardian sect. Now, the sect leader of his own empire's top sect has suddenly taken in a disciple of the Sun and Moon Sect. Huo Yuhao is also a disciple of Kong Deming, the hall master of the Sun and Moon Sea-Stabilizing Divine Needle Offering Hall. Anyone would be panicked in this situation.

The emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire, who is also Vina's father, even speculated whether the Body Sect was sending some kind of signal. Without the Body Sect, the Heavenly Soul Empire's already weak combat power would be even more vulnerable, and what would it use to deter the ambitious Sun Moon Empire in the future?

"My attitude? I have no attitude. The teacher is the sect leader, while I am just a minor figure in the Body Sect."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao made a gesture with his thumb and forefinger, a smile on his face.

Vina's eyelids twitched. Who would believe that? They were just trying to fool someone!
The sect leader has already named you as his successor, and the elders of the Body Sect are all extremely fond of you. The Body Sect will be yours in the future. As for the Sun and Moon Sect, you say you're a nobody? Fine, fine, then what am I? A clown!
“You don’t need to be in such a hurry, Princess of Tianhun. Sometimes, looking at things from a different perspective might reveal a different side of the issue.”

She was a princess of a nation, and all her emotions were written on her face. Compared to Xu Jiujiu, the princess of the Star Luo Empire, the two were equally matched.

"What do you mean?"
