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

Chapter 229 Departure, Gazes from the Shadows (4K)

"Hey, Na'er, what's with that expression?!"

Meng Hongchen felt that Gu Yuena's gaze was particularly strange, as if, as if she were somewhat smug.

No, what exactly happened? You just went to Shrek Academy. I admit it's impressive that you were able to participate in the destruction of Shrek Academy, but do you have to be so arrogant?
"Nothing, by the way, why is someone still only level 70? Could it be..."

"I've put up with you for far too long!"

Clearly, Meng Hongchen was no match for Gu Yuena and was directly suppressed with one hand.

Meanwhile, Yu Qiu'er, who had formed an alliance with Meng Hongchen, was watching this scene with amusement. Clearly, this alliance was not as solid as it seemed.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, and Ji Juechen also arrived. Because of the delay, Ji Juechen's soul power level was now level sixty-nine.

He only absorbed the essence of the immortal herb. Because his soul power level was not high enough, he did not absorb the soul ring of the eight-petaled immortal orchid, so his soul power level was naturally much lower.

However, thanks to the unlimited resources provided by Sun and Moon during this period, and through diligent cultivation day and night, he still reached level 69. In terms of effort and comprehension alone, he can be considered one of the top in Sun and Moon.

"Alright, I have something to tell you."

Huo Yuhao looked at Meng Hongchen, who was still struggling as Gu Yuena sat on her bottom, and sighed helplessly.

These guys, who used to be so arrogant in the eyes of outsiders, how come they're so unreliable when they get together?

Gu Yuena slowly got up, and Meng Hongchen patted her bottom, pouting and glaring at Gu Yuena with a hint of resentment. She also complained a little angrily to Yu Qiu'er, saying that this sister was unreliable, completely unreliable.

Huo Yuhao clapped his hands and said.

"I think you all know what has happened during this time: Shrek Academy was destroyed, and although the war between the Three Kingdoms and the Sun and Moon has temporarily stopped, this peace will not last long."

"So during this peaceful period, I have developed a very detailed development plan for you."

"Before the next Continental Soul Master Tournament opens, which is less than two years, all five of you must grow to a level close to that of a Title Douluo."

"."

Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, and even the usually stern Ji Juechen all looked on incredulously.

Currently, their soul power is only at the Soul Saint level. If they can grow to near the Title Douluo level before the next Continental Soul Master Tournament begins, then they will need to advance nearly ten levels in a year.

In the past, this would have been something we wouldn't have even dared to dream of.

However, if Huo Yuhao said this, they felt it was highly credible and might actually be able to do it.

However, Gu Yuena and Yu Qiu'er were much calmer. Based on their understanding of Huo Yuhao and their past experiences, they knew that it wouldn't be difficult for Huo Yuhao to help Meng Hongchen and the others grow.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said calmly.

“I know you have a lot of questions right now, but before I answer them, there’s something I want to tell you in advance.”

What he wanted to talk about was naturally the establishment of the Extreme Path Organization. After hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation, neither Meng Hongchen nor Xiao Hongchen had any questions about it. Ji Juechen only hesitated for a moment before readily agreeing.

What are you hesitating for? No matter how you look at it, following Yuhao will lead to a bright future.

Xiao Hongchen was even more excited and asked curiously.

"Yuhao, you're not planning to establish a force and replace Shrek Academy in the future, are you?"

He knew his brother's abilities and was well aware of what they could achieve in the future. There was no way around it; it wasn't that he was laughing at Hongchen's arrogance, but at their age, there wasn't a single person among the younger generation on the entire continent whose strength could compare to theirs.

Not to mention compared to a prodigy like Yuhao.

This brother of mine will surely become the strongest person on the continent in the future. If he wants to build a force, he will definitely be able to rank at the top of the continent.

"Shrek?" Huo Yuhao sneered. "The Extreme Path is just the core members. When the time comes, this organization will definitely far surpass any existing force on the continent."

He explained his plans in detail to Xiao Hongchen and the others, including the Soul Orb and Soul Spirit. The group felt as if they were listening to a foreign language, and apart from Gu Yuena and Yu Qiu'er, they all found it unbelievable.

Just through language, they could sense the immense impact that the widespread adoption of spirits and spirit orbs would have on the existing continental order.

"Hahaha, doesn't that mean the era of Grandpa and the other old folks is coming to a complete end, and our era is about to begin!"

Meng Hongchen looked at her older brother with disdain. Well, she still felt ashamed of this inexplicable enthusiasm.

Huo Yuhao was already used to this guy's dramatic outbursts. He knew that with their connections, Xiao Hongchen and the others wouldn't hesitate at all; this was just a formality.

After explaining what he needed to say, he took out three 100,000-year-old soul bones that he had prepared in advance from his storage soul tool.

They were still incredibly wealthy, but the visual impact of these items was enough to make Xiao Hongchen and Ji Juechen gasp for breath.

"Well, this is part of my plan to improve your strength. Each of you will have a 100,000-year soul bone. Absorb it first."

"Once you have absorbed these 100,000-year-old soul bones, I will take you to a treasure land and help you obtain your seventh soul rings, while we begin the next phase of the plan."

"."

Guided by the will of the plane, the Dragon Valley plane is currently located in the area between Dragon City and Sunset Forest.

This perfectly matched Huo Yuhao's plan. After all, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was now full of energy. With the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus transplanted away and replenished by the Gold of Life, it was a perfect treasure land for cultivation.

The Earth Dragon Gate, which he needs to go to in the next stage, is also near this treasure land. It can be said that apart from spending some time to help Meng Hongchen and the others obtain soul rings, nothing else will be delayed.

In one go, you can obtain all the opportunities from Dragon Valley and Earth Dragon Gate.

"Gulu~"

Do not doubt it, this is the voice of Xiao Hongchen.

"Yuhao, where did you get all these soul bones? You didn't really empty Shrek Academy's coffers like Grandpa said, did you?"

He didn't know about the Lake of Life, so the moment Huo Yuhao took out these 100,000-year-old soul bones, he naturally assumed that he had obtained them from Shrek Academy.

Now everyone suddenly understood why Yuhao was confident that they could advance twenty levels within two years.

It's safe now, it's really safe now!

Huo Yuhao shook his head, not wanting to answer these questions.

"Absorb quickly. Once you've absorbed the soul bones that are 100,000 years old, we'll set off immediately."

Yu Qiu'er and Gu Yuena didn't need it, so Huo Yuhao simply used the excuse that they had already absorbed the soul bones to fool them, and Xiao Hongchen and the other two didn't suspect anything.

Ji Juechen wanted to say something, but Huo Yuhao interrupted him by raising his hand.

"Hold on. If you want to say thank you, then save your breath. If it's a fight, then I don't have time right now."

After saying that, he turned and left. He had a lot of things to do, and he didn't know how long he would be gone. He also had to hand over all the research matters to his senior brother, Xuan Ziwen.

As for his research on soul tools, since it had long deviated from the current soul tool system, no one could offer him much guidance on the soul tools he was about to research. He planned to take some rare metals with him and check on his senior brother's progress on soul armor research. After all, his senior brother, Xuan Ziwen, was now a level nine soul tool master, and his research progress could directly make up for the soul tool research he had wasted during this period.

Once this wave of learning is over, becoming a level nine Soul Master will be a natural outcome.

Watching Huo Yuhao leave, Ji Juechen held the soul bone in his hand and smiled bitterly. Now he owed even more. But as before, he would keep these favors in his heart and repay them with his life when Yuhao needed them in the future.

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen's soul bones both come from the 100,000-year-old torso bones of the Lake of Life, while Ji Juechen's soul bone is a 100,000-year-old right arm bone.

It is foreseeable that once they have absorbed all these soul bones, their physical strength will be greatly enhanced once again. Combined with the foundation of the previous 100,000-year-old immortal herb essence, absorbing the 100,000-year level of the seventh soul ring will no longer be a problem.

After all, a 100,000-year-old immortal herb is different from a real 100,000-year-old soul beast. The souls of those immortal herbs were obliterated by Gu Yuena, so there was no need to worry about absorbing them. But a 100,000-year-old soul beast is different.

With these foundations, once the three of them have absorbed the 100,000-year soul ring, and with the energy boost from the 100,000-year soul ring and another 100,000-year soul bone, their strength will inevitably reach the next level, directly growing to the high-level Soul Saint level.

Meng Hongchen looked at Gu Yuena triumphantly; this time, Miss Meng was finally able to stand up for herself again.

"Just you wait, Na'er. This time I will definitely surpass you and teach you a lesson."

Gu Yuena spread her hands blankly, shrugged, and said, "To surpass me? Unless you become a god, and a god of at least the first level, you should give up."

However, she was too lazy to be sarcastic or sarcastic, as it didn't fit her authoritative persona.

Besides, I already took Yuhao's first time, so I'm too lazy to argue with you.

a few days later.

Just as expected, Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen's strength and physical attributes were greatly enhanced after absorbing the 100,000-year-old soul bone. Ji Juechen's soul power officially reached level 70, putting him on the same level as Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen without having absorbed the seventh soul ring.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao had arranged everything in the past few days, and it was time to set off again to leave Sun Moon.

Meng Hongchen was especially excited at this moment. There was no way around it; apart from the Soul Hunt several years ago and the previous trip to the All-Continent Soul Master Competition, this was the first time she had acted with Yuhao.

"Yuhao, where are we going?"

"The Great Forest at Sunset"

"Huh? Isn't that a dead end?"

"Not anymore."

"."

Outside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, many students from the teaching and research departments looked at Huo Yuhao and his six companions standing together with eyes filled with excitement and admiration.

"That's Huo Yuhao, the number one genius of our Sun Moon Sect. I heard he's already a Soul Saint, and he's not even sixteen years old yet."

"Your information is outdated. I heard he's a Soul Master now, and an eighth-level Soul Master at that!"

"Seriously? This isn't just the number one genius, this is a monster!"

"Those next to him seem to be the Hongchen siblings, and the sword fanatic Ji Juechen. Oh? That's Yu Qiu'er, who's recently risen to fame in the academy. She's also a Soul Saint, right?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, these six people are all monsters. If they participate in the next All-Continent Soul Master Tournament, wouldn't our Sun Moon Sect be guaranteed to win the championship!"

"Tch, it's only because Shrek Academy is destroyed now, otherwise, in the next All-Continent Soul Master Tournament, we'd definitely beat those Shrek guys to a pulp."

"Oh well, it doesn't matter. Last time Shrek was so arrogant, but Star Luo still lost to us at home. Even if Shrek were still around, they would still be trampled under our feet!"

"These are true geniuses! I really want to be one of them."

Wake up! Anything can happen in dreams!

"."

not far away.

As they watched Huo Yuhao and his companions disappear into the horizon, and amidst the surrounding chatter, Xu Tianzhen, Ju Zi, and Ke Ke fell silent.

Although Xu Tianzhen is now known as a genius at the Royal Soul Master Academy, in terms of influence, she cannot compare with Meng Hongchen and Yu Qiu'er, let alone Huo Yuhao.

Previously, Xu Tianzhen actually had a special filter on Shrek Academy, but after Shrek Academy was destroyed by Sun Moon Sect and Body Sect, this filter completely disappeared.

Instead, they developed the same fervent confidence in the strength of the Sun Moon faction, just like the other students.

Xu Tianzhen's heart was filled with complicated feelings at this moment. Last time, her elder brother told her to get closer to Huo Yuhao and even wanted to match her with Huo Yuhao. Although she verbally refused, deep down she still had a glimmer of hope.

For a royal princess like her, encountering a man who surpasses her in both strength and other aspects is, in terms of attraction, fatal.

"Sister Orange, do you think that we and someone like Huo Yuhao will never have even the slightest intersection in the future?"

Orange pursed her lips, her mind already in turmoil.

They panicked when they saw Meng Hongchen, Gu Yuena, and other girls by Huo Yuhao's side.

She didn't know where this feeling came from. Perhaps it was because Huo Yuhao had dealt with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and avenged her, or perhaps it was the complex emotions that came with secretly watching him over the past few years.
Orange knew that, deep down, she had long since developed a curiosity about a certain man.

"maybe."

After the destruction of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the death of Dai Hao, Ju Zi actually wanted to break away from Xu Tianran and live a peaceful life for the rest of her days.

But then her thoughts changed again. She wanted to continue growing, to grow to the point where someone would notice her. Perhaps she herself didn't know why.

Xu Tianzhen and Ju Zi were both feeling rather down, while Ke Ke didn't seem to notice anything.

"Hey, you two, why are you suddenly so downcast?"

"But, Orange, do you remember when we first met Huo Yuhao? He looked so disheveled and even missed the academy's enrollment period."

"I never imagined that the boy who was only in the teens back then would grow to this level in just a few years."

Xu Tianzhen and Ju Zi were already walking into the academy when Xu Tianzhen asked curiously.

"Sister Orange, you met Huo Yuhao back then, right? I heard that he had nothing a few years ago and it took him more than half a month to get from Xingluo to Mingdu. Can you tell me what he was like back then?"

Before Orange could speak, Coco continued to attack.

"Of course, Huo Yuhao was a bit immature back then, but he was still very handsome. Ju Zi and I noticed him at first glance."

"Sigh, if we had helped him a few years ago, wouldn't we be among the geniuses standing next to him now?"

"."

Orange remained silent, her thoughts seemingly drifting back to that afternoon a few years ago.

Did I miss my chance? Yes, if I had helped him back then, would things be different now?
These thoughts quickly disappeared from Ju Zi's mind. It's not too late now. As long as she doesn't give up, Huo Yuhao will notice her one day.
