Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 68 "Croak, it's a strong one, back off!"

The newcomer was wearing a black trench coat, his black, tousled hair moved without wind, and a purple top that exuded mystery and power! He wore black trousers and black shoes.

Just by looking at his clothes, you can tell he's an absolute top-tier expert!

Just by standing there, his mere presence is enough to make a bunch of small fry shout:

"Croak! It's a strong one! Everyone, retreat!"

Jiang Nannan was initially very excited to see the person she had been longing for come to find her, but when she saw Huo Yuhao's nonsensical attire, her delicate face immediately darkened.

He has a rather stern and intimidating aura.

She was still wearing Shrek Academy's school uniform. She got up and straightened her skirt to make sure her clothes were neat in front of Huo Yuhao.

Then he walked up to Huo Yuhao in small steps, helped Huo Yuhao straighten his trench coat and collar, and said:

"Brother Huo, your fashion sense is still so bad!"

“I remember back in Xuanfeng City, quite a few customers at the clinic complained that your clothes were particularly outdated.”

Jiang Nannan complained as she carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on Huo Yuhao's clothes.

Although she kept complaining, Huo Yuhao could clearly see the excitement and joy on Jiang Nannan's face.

After smoothing out the wrinkles caused by the wind from their journey, Jiang Nannan gently hugged Huo Yuhao and pressed her head against his chest.

During this intimate physical contact, Huo Yuhao could directly smell the lavender scent on her body.

He gently stroked Jiang Nannan's head; her soft, smooth golden hair cascaded down to her waist like a golden waterfall, clearly well-maintained by its owner.

Jiang Nannan felt Huo Yuhao's body temperature with a look of enjoyment, breathing in his scent.

This made Huo Yuhao feel a little uncomfortable, as if Tang San was crawling on him.

Fortunately, Jiang Nannan let go of the hug after only a short while.

Jiang Nannan's mother, seeing Huo Yuhao sitting in the back room of the clinic, went out with a smile on her face to watch the shop.

Before leaving, he gave Jiang Nannan a meaningful smile.

This made Jiang Nannan blush deeply; the quiet back room seemed to be subjecting her to the ultimate humiliation.

To break the silence, she got up and made Huo Yuhao a cup of tea, then said:

"Did Brother Huo find his way here after receiving the letter I sent him?"

Huo Yuhao didn't stand on ceremony with her; she was practically his disciple. He took a sip of tea and said:
"Ah."

"When I went to Xuanfeng City to buy things a while ago, I saw a letter at the entrance of the clinic."

"I knew it was you who put it there."

Jiang Nannan adjusted her skirt, smiled, and sat down, her eyes seemingly rippling with emotion.

"Master Huo must have left Xuanfeng City secretly back then."

Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "I was in a bit of a rush back then. I set off around the same time you left Xuanfeng City."

Jiang Nannan bent down and took out a pile of letters from a small bag below. With a smile in her eyes, she placed the letters on the table and pushed them towards Huo Yuhao.

"These letters were all sent by people from Xuanfeng City."

"They can't find where you went, and they don't have your contact information."

"You can only send the letter to me."

"They said they plan to post bounty quests on the Adventurers' Guild."

"They say the best doctor in Xuanfeng City has run away, and the whole city has lost hope!"

"We need to have you captured and brought back to Xuanfeng City."

Huo Yuhao's face darkened instantly as he stared at the letter in front of him, his expression tense.

He never imagined that his first bounty would be for fleeing!
If this is the reason written on my wanted poster in the future, that would be really embarrassing!

"These unruly commoners from the Douluo Continent!"

"Looks like we'll have to take a hard line against them from now on!"

Jiang Nannan slowly gathered the letters on the table, then rested her chin on her hands and looked at Huo Yuhao, saying:

"How many days does the master plan to stay at Shrek Academy?"

"You can stay here with me."

“This place is quite big.”

Just kidding, with a comment like that, how could Huo Yuhao dare to stay here? He'd probably have to drink some kind of sedative tea.

So he shook his head and said:
"No, I mainly came here to see you."

"I plan to go and take a look at the Cataclysmic Mountain Range."

"There's a spirit beast over there that I'm very interested in."

"The Disaster Mountain Range?"

Jiang Nannan tilted her head and said, "Is it from the Star Luo Empire?"

"I remember this mountain range was very unpopular because the types of spirit beasts were limited, and usually only the Star Luo royal family liked to go there to hunt spirit rings."

"Even in the last hundred years, the Star Luo royal family hasn't been going there much."

"Starry Sky Forest offers better value for money."

"But since Brother Huo wants to go, I won't say anything more. Just be careful not to enter the core area over there!"

"Natural disasters are frequent in the core area! They are even more dangerous than soul beasts!"

Huo Yuhao patted her head and said:

"Don't worry, I have everything I need to do."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao glanced at Jiang Nannan's flawless white arm and sensed that the reversal technique he had inscribed on her had never been used. He then said:
"It seems you haven't encountered any danger recently, that's good."

Has anything happened at Shrek Academy recently?

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's question, Jiang Nannan said softly:
"The freshman assessment just ended recently."

"Many outstanding first-year students were selected as core disciples."

"Xiao Xiao, whom Brother Huo asked me to take care of, is also a core disciple."

"She also possesses twin martial souls, which has garnered her a lot of attention."

"I heard that he/she joined Teacher Wang Yan's class."

"Oh, by the way, I heard that some freshmen went missing near Poseidon Lake recently!"

"However, it seems to have been suppressed, with witnesses claiming that a red glow appeared over Lake Neptune that day."

"It has now become one of the top ten strange tales in the School of Foreign Languages!"

"Many people say this matter should not be publicized, because if some teachers hear about it, they will expel the student on the spot!"

"It has become a taboo subject."

Huo Yuhao was not surprised to hear the news. This time, without him taking the bullets in front of him, there was no one to stop the crazed Ma Xiaotao.

Did everyone at the Sea God Pavilion go to eat chicken legs with Xuanzi? A Soul Emperor, who is also Yan Shaozhe's beloved disciple, went berserk and no one stopped him in time.

That unfortunate freshman has probably already met Buddha Tang, after all, that was a temperature close to the extreme of fire.

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow and said:
"Shrek isn't safe either!"

Jiang Nannan didn't know what to say, so she gave an awkward smile. "By the way, Brother Huo, would you like to go watch the Soul Fighting Competition together?"

"The twin stars of the outer academy, Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, are going to have a duel at the Soul Arena."

"Many people are planning to go and take a look."

Huo Yuhao asked in confusion, "The Soul Arena inside Shrek Academy isn't open to the public, is it?"

Jiang Nannan shook her head and said:

"It is not open to the public, but as long as a core disciple acts as a guarantor, outsiders can still enter after inspection."

"I am a core disciple, don't worry."

After saying that, Jiang Nannan pulled Huo Yuhao towards the Shrek Academy's Soul Arena.

When her mother saw this, she smiled, then closed the shop and wrote "Closed for one day".

After Huo Yuhao was checked at the entrance of Shrek Academy and his soul power level and aura were confirmed, he was allowed to stay inside the academy for one hour.

The two successfully entered Shrek Academy.

Along the way, the Shrek Academy students around them kept turning around to look at Huo Yuhao next to Jiang Nannan.

"who's that person?"

"How can her fashion sense be so terrible! And she's standing next to the most beautiful girl in the Foreign Languages ​​Department?"

Then his companion punched him and said:

"fart!"

"That person's clothes are so cool!"

"These are clothes only a strong person would wear!"

"Anyone who isn't strong would have been beaten to death long ago if they dared to dress like that!"

"Huh? So that's how it is?!"

Shrek Academy's Soul Arena is huge, at least ten times the size of the Xuanfeng City Soul Arena that Huo Yuhao has seen.

Jiang Nannan led Huo Yuhao to a high platform and sat down.

The Soul Arena has already attracted quite a few people. Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, the twin stars of the outer academy, are still very well-known.

Someone has already set up the bookmaker, and many people have started betting on whether Beibei or Xu Sanshi will win.

Huo Yuhao looked at the two people who had finished warming up in the Soul Arena and used his spiritual power to sense their auras.

The two are high-level Soul Masters, and they should be close to breaking through to Soul Sect, so they are like little Karami.

A wave of spiritual intimidation from a Spirit Abyss Realm expert will probably keep him straight for life.

"Nannan, who do you think will win?"

Jiang Nannan heard Huo Yuhao's words and said:

"Beibei, please."

"Xu Sanshi is a little weaker than Beibei in terms of hard power."

However, when the name Xu Sanshi was mentioned, Huo Yuhao noticed that Jiang Nannan's eyes did not show any emotion.

It seems that the two sides have no interaction this time.

However, Huo Yuhao was a little puzzled. He sensed that Xu Sanshi's martial soul had not evolved. Could it be that the ritual was not performed?

I decided to give up on thinking about it. A guy whose future position is basically taken by Medemos probably won't be able to give Huo Yuhao any exciting performances.

Soon, the battle began below, with blue lightning mingling with dragon roars and black tortoise shells clashing together.

The two sides fought back and forth, with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus having numerical values ​​and the Dark Turtle having mechanics.

Without Huo Yuhao's help in cheating, neither of them could gain the upper hand for the time being.

"Thunder's Fury!"

Beibei activated her third soul skill first, and under the amplification effect of the soul skill, the blue lightning immediately became frenzied.

Then, he launched a fierce attack on Xu Sanshi using his first soul skill, Thunder Dragon Claw.

Xu Sanshi, his face contorted with rage, also unleashed his third soul skill, Xuanming Power, refusing to back down.

The gentle water element and the frenzied lightning element collided.

Xu Sanshi was clearly being suppressed and had begun to show signs of decline.

Huo Yuhao shook his head; the duel between the two below was indeed very spectacular.

But it was all show; Beibei's thunderous power was completely unrestrained, and a large amount of soul power was wasted on momentum.

Xu Sanshi is similar; his control over the water element is only slightly better than Beibei's, since the water element is more gentle.

This battle of spirits was good for killing time, but the details of the fight shouldn't be scrutinized too closely.

Beibei's movement technique is quite interesting; it should be the Ghost Shadow Step from the Tang Clan.

Huo Yuhao glanced at it casually but memorized it; he could study it when he had time.

Looking at the intertwined lightning and water before her, Jiang Nannan rested her head on Huo Yuhao's shoulder without her noticing.

My thoughts are wandering a bit.

"I wonder how Roman's foundation is doing?"

"Ah!"

Roman, who was far away at the orphanage, suddenly sneezed.

"I feel like someone is thinking about me."

"Could it be Merry-chan?!"

Feng Jin interrupted Roman's daydreaming, saying:

"Dr. Roman, there are some parts of the book you gave me last time that I don't quite understand."

"For example, this one, the Human Reason Burning Style."

"What is this?"

“I’ve studied it for a long time and it’s a bit hard to understand, but something feels off.”

"Is this also knowledge for healing and saving lives?"

"It doesn't seem quite right?"

Roman was dumbfounded and said:
"What?"

"Humanity-based incineration?!"

Roman hurriedly took the book, flipped through it, and realized that he seemed to have given the wrong copy that day; this one was the unabridged version.

"Ah~ Haha."

"It's okay, don't worry about it."

"You shouldn't keep researching this thing."

"I'll give you another book right away, but this one is prohibited for minors!"

　I wrote this chapter in the car; it's about 6,000 words today. A family member is having some health issues and we probably need to go to Nanjing for a checkup, as they can't figure out the diagnosis here in Hefei.
