Douluo Continent: I can nurture soul beasts and even perform super evolution.

Chapter 167 Mingdu, Huo Yuhao (Fourth Update)
Mingdu.

Royal Academy of the Sun and Moon Empire

Inside a laboratory.

"Hey, have you heard? Among the exchange students who came to the Sun Moon Empire this time, there's the guy who won first place in this competition. I heard his name is..." Keke stopped the metal polishing work of the cutting machine, took off her protective goggles, and looked at the others with a gossipy look on her face.

"Call him Su Wen."

A handsome young man with long blond hair and blue eyes spoke up, but his gaze was mostly fixed on a girl sleeping soundly in a corner of the laboratory, wearing a coat.

"Hey, Orange, Orange, wake up... Don't you think Su Wen is handsome?" Keke took off her gloves, walked straight to the girl's side, lifted her clothes and whispered in her ear with a smile.

Zi Mu opened his mouth, but hesitated, afraid of disturbing the girl's sweet dream, and then sat down. He didn't seem qualified to care about this.

Orange stood up and gave a long yawn.

Her figure was graceful and voluptuous, yet it made Zi Mu blush and turn her head away unconsciously.

"What the hell? It's so noisy, Keke."

The girl was clearly complaining, but her voice was as soft as cotton, making it exceptionally pleasant to listen to. When she stood up, her fair skin and beautiful face were revealed, as tender as tofu, as if you could squeeze water out of it...

"Did you stay up late again last night?" Keke chuckled mischievously.

"Hmm." Orange yawned. "You were doing research very late last night. This project is really difficult lately. It's very challenging. I feel that only a level six Soul Master is safe. I don't know why the teacher assigned it to me."

"That's because I trust you."

"Then I'd rather not have it." Orange looked distressed, opened her fair palm, conjured a juicy orange, peeled it and stuffed it into Keke's mouth, then threw the other half into her own mouth.

As I savored the delicious taste of the orange, my drowsiness slowly dissipated.

"Who did you just say? Su Wen?"

"Yeah, I heard he's a really handsome guy, and so strong that he could sweep through the top four teams by himself. He single-handedly carried the crippled Shrek team to first place. Otherwise, I've heard many seniors lamenting that this year was the Sun Moon Empire's most promising year."

"It's a pity that I was killed by this person, but it also shows that he is really powerful. I just don't know if I will have the chance to see his face." Keke said sadly.

"Hilarious! There's hope every year, but I'm afraid even when I'm buried, it'll still be the same old story." Orange couldn't help but swear.

"And I also heard that at the competition, Meng Hongchen, who is the granddaughter of the Mirror Hall Master, grabbed his pants and wouldn't let go, offering herself to him!" Keke leaned closer and said mysteriously.

The two best friends whispered in each other's ears.

This made Zi Mu quite envious. He wished he were the goddess's ear, since Ju Zi was so indifferent to him, even the junior brother who had just joined the lab...

Sigh, where's my junior brother?

Zi Mu looked around, completely bewildered.

He remembered that not long ago, Huo Yuhao was polishing metal next to him. How could he have disappeared in the blink of an eye?

……

Outside the Mingde Hall laboratory.

A figure walked slowly down the corridor.

He was strong and robust, with bright, deep blue eyes. Compared to his former thin, self-conscious, and timid self, he seemed like a completely different person. He walked with a powerful stride, a confidence that came from his strength and status.

"Brother Tianmeng..."

Huo Yuhao thought to himself quietly.

"I'm here, Yuhao."

In the sea of ​​spirit, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm emerged from the water, its tiny pupils revealing a solemn expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"I didn't expect him to still catch up with us," Huo Yuhao said calmly.

“I wouldn’t say we’ll chase you, but by some chance, you might find it hard to avoid. I heard this exchange will last a full three years. I didn’t want this to happen so soon after you joined the Sun Moon Empire Royal Academy. It’s really…” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed. “There will always be a battle.” Huo Yuhao pursed his lips. “A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and I heard that Teacher Fanyu is leading the team this time…”

"You want to turn Fan Yu against his side? That's probably not going to be easy," Tianmeng Bingcan hesitated. "After all, Zhou Yi is still within Shrek Academy's territory."

"Who said that?" Huo Yuhao's lips curled up.

"I don't believe that Teacher Fanyu wasn't prepared. He would really be blindly loyal to Shrek Academy..."

"You mean..." Tianmeng asked in surprise.

"Once we meet Teacher Fan Yu, everything will come to light." Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually turned cold: "I heard that since I disappeared, Teacher Fan Yu has been causing a ruckus in the Martial Soul Department, determined not to let that beast Dai Huabin go, but Su Wen waved his hand and made the decision to let Shrek Academy let the Dai family off the hook."

"I haven't forgotten this grudge..."

"Plus, there's the old grudge of crippling Teacher Zhou Yi, so all the old and new grievances must be taken into account!"

As Huo Yuhao's tone grew increasingly cold, a faint aura of menace emanated from his body.

The Body Sect has a set of ultimate techniques for awakening the Body Martial Soul, and the Holy Spirit Sect naturally has methods for corrupting and corrupting people.

Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eye mutated into Blood Eye, but his second Martial Soul remained unchanged.

After turning to the dark side, he also displayed extraordinary talent, the talent of an evil soul master. Even within the Holy Spirit Cult, he gained many supporters. The struggle for the Holy Son is not far off, and the Holy Son will be the future leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Yan Feng has also been eyeing this place covetously.

Over the years, he has also learned to disguise himself, packaging himself as a harmless "invisible person," concealing his identity as a member of the Holy Spirit Cult, and joining the laboratory with excellent grades. Even his mentor, Xuan Ziwen, never noticed his true nature.

His martial soul, Blood Eye, had a fourth soul skill that Zhongli Wu personally chose for him—killing one person would permanently increase his mental strength, and the soul skill would automatically activate when killing someone.

The fifth soul skill is the ultimate illusion control.

As long as the enemy touches him, no matter how powerful the opponent is, they will be briefly trapped in an illusion, and he is the master of that illusion...

This seemingly overpowered ability made him invincible within the Holy Spirit Cult. His mysterious and unpredictable nature, coupled with his mastery of illusions, attracted many altar masters within the cult to place their bets on him.

Six months ago, he, with his level 46 Soul Master status, managed to kill a level 55 Soul King Evil Soul Master, which astonished the entire Holy Spirit Cult.

Everything was going well until six months ago, when Zhongli Wu, who had always supported him and was his closest ally in the Holy Spirit Cult, was crippled in all four limbs and paralyzed in bed during a large-scale raid on Shrek Academy.

The Holy Spirit Church was thrown into a state of panic, but fortunately, the Supreme Elder appeared and brought the situation under control.

With his patron in the Holy Spirit Cult gone and the Supreme Elder unable to discern his true intentions, he resolved to delve into the study of soul-guided devices. Once he achieved something in this field, he would return to the Holy Spirit Cult to contend for the position of Holy Son.

And it has been just over five months since then.

"I heard that his strength has improved again in this competition..." Huo Yuhao forcibly suppressed a violent aura and spoke calmly.

“Of course, I did say his cultivation speed is very fast,” Tianmeng said helplessly.

"Yuhao, your cultivation speed is already very fast. From a level 25 Great Soul Master two years ago, you have soared to a level 51 Soul King in just two years, which is quite outrageous." (In the original novel, Huo Yuhao was in his forties at this time, which was under suppression. Now, with the killing buff, the full support of resources from Zhongli Wu, and the floating soul power, it should be about the same.)
“But this is what I got from killing people…” A hint of resentment flashed in Huo Yuhao’s eyes: “I have to control myself. If I continue without restraint, the backlash might kill me.”

"..."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm fell silent.

Looking at Huo Yuhao's current state of pain, he didn't know whether his choice back then was right or wrong.

That day outside Shrek Castle.

He sensed the presence of other powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult. After a moment's hesitation, he released a powerful mental energy fluctuation, attracting the powerful member and rescuing Huo Yuhao, whose soul power was exhausted.

“Brother Tianmeng, I have tried my best to catch up with him all these years, but I am still no match for him.” Huo Yuhao did not notice Tianmeng’s strange behavior and became more and more frustrated.

“Based on his performance in the competition, he has probably already reached the Soul Saint realm, while I can at most fight against a Soul Emperor, let alone a Soul Saint…” (In the battle between the Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy, both sides only announced the birth of Mu En, without revealing other battle details, so Su Wen’s true strength is only known within Shrek Academy.)
“Let’s take it one step at a time. That kind of guy is a once-in-a-millennium talent. He’s the kind of being who can suppress an entire era as soon as he’s born. It’s not so easy for you to compete with him…” Tianmeng said quietly.

"..."
