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

Chapter 18 Becoming a Disciple of Kong Deming, Under the Protection of the Mortal World
Jing Hongchen glared fiercely at Xuan Ziwen, but the latter pretended not to see it, whistling and staring at the ground. This ground was really something else!
Kong Deming clearly didn't have time to pay attention to Jing Hongchen. He first glanced at the soul guide made by Huo Yuhao, nodded in satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao.

"Child, I heard that you have twin martial souls, and the martial soul you are currently cultivating is the Spirit Eye, your main martial soul with a spiritual attribute, right?"

At this moment, Huo Yuhao had already stirred up a huge storm. What happened?
He wanted to showcase his talent to attract the attention of a big shot like Jing Hongchen, but he never expected to attract the attention of a big shot like Kong Deming.

This situation is like Shrek's second-year promotion test suddenly catching Moon's attention.

However, Huo Yuhao calmed his nerves and answered calmly.

"I dare to address you as Elder Kong. You are right, I am indeed a Twin Martial Soul Master. One is the Spirit Eye, a spirit-attribute physical martial soul, and the other is a weapon martial soul called the Bell of the End."

Kong Deming already knew all this, after all, he wanted to obtain a student's information, which was not something Jing Hongchen could hide.

The reason for bringing this up now is simply to find common ground between the two. Compared to Jing Hongchen's initial investment in the child, his sudden appearance is indeed at a disadvantage, so we can only start from another angle.

After all, he also possesses twin martial souls, which puts him far ahead of people like Jing Hongchen in this regard.

"Very good, very good, child. May I see your martial spirit?"

Huo Yuhao's talent and innovation in soul tool research are beyond doubt. Now we need to see his second martial soul besides the Spirit Eye. As for his background and origins, he neither wants to nor cares about them. Who would send such a peerless genius to the enemy camp?

His disciple, Xuan Ziwen, was not a pure citizen of the Sun Moon Empire long ago; his prejudice against different sects was far too narrow.

After glancing at Hongchen, and with the latter's nod, Huo Yuhao released his second martial soul.

In an instant, the people in the test area felt a deep sense of loneliness and destiny, a feeling like the despair of everything coming to an end.

"My second martial soul is called the Bell of the End. It is a weapon martial soul that has not yet been fully awakened. As for its abilities, I haven't fully figured them out yet."

What he said was true. After all, the Bell of the End will definitely continue to be engraved with echoes and characteristics. Leaving things as they are now will allow for a reasonable explanation later.

At this moment, Kong Deming's envious expression had been completely replaced by fervor.

"The Bell of the End, good, it is truly an unprecedented weapon spirit. The power of this spirit is something I cannot fathom at all."

Not fully awakened yet?

This is hardly a problem.

If the main martial soul can undergo a second awakening, isn't it reasonable that the other martial soul hasn't fully awakened?

"Child, let me introduce myself. My name is Kong Deming. I am the head of the Sun Moon Empire's Hall of Worship and also a dual martial soul possessor, with the title Silver Moon."

Kong Deming's tone was somewhat excited, and his voice even carried a hint of trepidation.

"Child, I have guided countless Soul Masters throughout my life, but now I only have Xuan Ziwen as my disciple. If possible, would you be willing to become my last disciple?"

"Whether it's cultivating twin martial souls or researching soul mastery, I will impart all my knowledge to you."

This time, even Jing Hongchen, who had originally vowed to compete for a share, remained silent.

Although he felt it was a pity, he also knew that the most suitable person for Huo Yuhao now was actually the old man in front of him.

Whether it's soul tools, soul masters, or the twin martial souls similar to Huo Yuhao's, this person is the most suitable teacher. He might be able to teach Huo Yuhao soul tool research, but he can't give him the best on the path of a soul master. Therefore, it's not that he can't compete, but rather that he's unwilling to compete for Huo Yuhao's better future. This is a responsibility that a senior should consider for the junior.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao did not immediately bow to his master. He was not an ungrateful person. He still remembered Jing Hongchen's investment and help to him. Some things are different when you eagerly rush to help someone and when someone goes with the flow.

Seeing this, Kong Deming nodded in satisfaction. This child really suited his taste. Jing Hongchen sighed and finally spoke.

"Yuhao, what Master Kong said is right. This old man is indeed the most suitable person to be your teacher. What are you waiting for? Why don't you become his disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao no longer hesitated and bowed to Kong Deming as his master, thus establishing their master-disciple relationship.

"I've met the teacher!"

"Good, good, good child, such a good child."

Kong Deming was extremely satisfied. He never expected that at his age, he could take on a disciple like Yuhao, who was first-rate in both talent and character. He felt that his life had been worthwhile.

"Yuhao, call me 'Senior Brother' and let me hear it."

Xuan Ziwen was overjoyed. The thought of having such a talented junior brother made him feel that he was not alone on his path.

"Senior Brother Xuan."

This scene shocked Lin Jiayi and Shi Xuan.

The day brought so many shocks. First, the Dean and Xuan Ziwen, an eighth-level Soul Master, arrived in person. Then, Yuhao created another groundbreaking Soul Tool 'model'. Then, the Dean and Xuan Ziwen started vying for people one after another. Before we could even recover, Elder Kong Deming actually came again, and his purpose was also to take Huo Yuhao as his disciple.

They felt that nothing in the first half of their lives was as exciting as this moment.

At this moment, Kong Deming took out a level nine soul tool, and his tone became much more relaxed and amiable.

"Master Hongchen, don't accuse me of stealing your disciple. Here, consider this level nine protective soul tool as compensation for you."

"Tch," Jing Hongchen scoffed. "A level nine defensive soul tool? It's like everyone has one. Even if I were compensated with three more level nine soul tools, it wouldn't be worth a single hair on Yuhao's head." But despite thinking this, he still accepted the item.

Both sides knew this was just a token gesture, and neither of them would take this level-nine soul tool, which was considered extremely precious by outsiders, seriously.

After thinking for a moment, Jing Hongchen took out another level-nine trigger-type defensive soul tool and personally handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"This level nine trigger-type defensive soul tool is called Red Dust Protection. It can be controlled by thought, adapts to fit, and provides trigger-type defense. It has no cultivation restrictions on the user. Consider this my reward for you breaking the record, Yuhao."

That's what they said, but Huo Yuhao and the others around him all knew that this was Jing Hongchen's investment in Huo Yuhao. After all, who would offer a level nine soul tool as a reward?

"Thank you, Dean."

Jing Hongchen felt it was a pity that he couldn't become Huo Yuhao's teacher, but the thought of Huo Yuhao becoming the disciple of the old man Kong Deming made that thought disappear.

Oh well, it's just that I haven't gone as far as this old man on the path of a Soul Master. Besides, even if Yuhao becomes an apprentice, he still has to study in the teaching department before becoming a Level 5 Soul Master. He has nothing to be disappointed about.
