Douluo Continent: The Peerless Hunting Heavenly Lord, Huo Yuhao!

On the other side, Dai Hao looked at the three people on the bed, his brows furrowed into knots.

Dai Heng's body was partially carbonized and his breath was weak; Tang San was nearly paralyzed; and Xu Sanshi was unconscious and his life hung in the balance.

He turned to look at Xuanzi beside him, his voice heavy with worry: "Elder Xuan, what exactly is going on?"

Xuanzi felt embarrassed, followed by shame, indignation, and hesitation.

When the military doctor arrived, Ma Xiaotao had already told him what had happened—naturally omitting the part about Huo Yuhao's conversation with Huanlong.

"It is my fault." Xuanzi sighed heavily, his brows furrowed with sorrow. "A mistake occurred while scouting enemy positions, which led to the deaths of several children. It is my dereliction of duty!"

Of course, there are also those bizarre existences that transcend the Soul Master system; once word gets out, the entire continent will be thrown into turmoil!

"Elder Xuan, you flatter me. This child is not fortunate enough to have such a blessing." Dai Hao also sighed, feeling as if a red-hot stone was stuck in his chest.

How could he not feel heartbroken? That was his own son. How could he not resent it? Such a talented young man, reduced to this state.

But he can't let it happen!

Xuanzi is a titled Douluo, Shrek Academy is the number one Soul Master force on the continent, and the Star Luo Empire still has to rely on Shrek Academy. Considering both public and private matters, he cannot show even a hint of resentment.

"The most urgent task is the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament." Xuanzi composed himself and ordered in a deep voice, "Wang Yan, you take the remaining team members and head to Xingluo City to prepare for the start of the tournament. I will take Tang San, Heng, and Sanshi back to the academy for treatment."

“This…” Wang Yan hesitated for a moment, then Huo Yuhao tugged at Wang Yan from behind and made a gesture.

"Okay, Elder Xuan." Although Wang Yan was curious as to why Huo Yuhao wanted to pull him in, he was prepared to agree since the main team was still relatively intact.

Huo Yuhao's lips curled up as his backup hidden energy source was activated!

"Yuhao, why did you pull me just now?" Wang Yan asked Huo Yuhao as they returned to the tent.

"Teacher Wang, have you forgotten about the Lionheart Society?" Huo Yuhao asked with a smile.

"The Lionheart Society?" Wang Yan was a little confused, wondering why Huo Yuhao would mention the Lionheart Society.

"Elder Xuan gave me 30 spectator slots from the Lionheart Society. Among them are some stronger than Tang San," Huo Yuhao nodded.

"what do you mean……"

“That’s right, they can replace Tang San and Xu Sanshi.”

Three days later, in Xingluo City, at the Xinghuang Hotel.

Looking at the assembled crowd, Wang Yan solemnly instructed, "Everyone, please take a good rest, adjust your condition, and prepare for the opening match."

"Teacher Wang, I have a suggestion." Huo Yuhao suddenly raised his hand.

"You said."

"I'll play in the first match of the opening tournament," Huo Yuhao said casually. "Let's keep our main players' strength hidden for now, and I'll go and test the waters."

Actually, there's another half-sentence: how can the Sea Patrol Ranger not have an opening highlight? The skills that need to be shown must be shown.

“I’ll go with Yuhao to be the backup,” Gu Yue quickly followed, raising her hand.

She knew best how powerful Huo Yuhao's Myriad Manifestations Heaven was; once the simulated soul skill was unleashed, it was enough to deceive even the most incomparable people, more than enough to handle the opening match.

After a moment's thought, Wang Yan nodded: "Okay, you two be careful."

Holding the room key, Huo Yuhao was a little confused, but there was one thing he really had to mention.

The room they had was the most luxurious in the Star Emperor Hotel, after all, Shrek Academy's reputation speaks for itself, but their room was still on the top floor!

There's no elevator here, you have to walk up, and Huo Yuhao really wanted to complain.

It is indeed luxurious, but it has no real function; at best, it is the ultimate in enjoyment.

At lunchtime at the hotel restaurant, Huo Yuhao ordered a grilled fish, took a bite, and raised an eyebrow.

The taste was alright, but it was overcooked, and the fish skin tasted bitter.

"Where have Lao Zhou and the others been arranged?" He chewed on the fish and turned to ask Cao Jinxuan next to him.

Cao Jinxuan took a sip of juice, looked at the message sent by Yu Zhaoli, and replied: "Stay at this hotel too. Old Zhou took Ye Qingwu to Xingluo Amusement Park, the Lan sisters went shopping with Wu Feng and Yun'er, the rest of them are probably wandering around Xingluo City, and Xie Huanyue and Long Xiangyue went to Xingguang Auction House."

"An auction? There's news?" Huo Yuhao put down his chopsticks and perked up.

He had previously instructed Xie Huanyue and the other person to keep an eye out for cultivation resources at the auction house that were suitable for the Lionheart Society to acquire, as well as the Soul-Devouring Carving Knife that appeared in the original work.

Is there any movement now?

"Yes, Sister Ning Tian, ​​Sister Gu Yue, and Wu Meng have already gone ahead." Cao Jinxuan nodded, thinking to himself, "Otherwise, would I be here eating fish with you?"

Huo Yuhao said "Oh," and was about to say that he would go and take a look after he finished eating, when he suddenly realized something was wrong—how could he inform Ning Tian and Gu Yue if there was any news? No one had told him about the real president?

He was immediately confused. (-_-)€€

So he's been too successful at being a hands-off manager, and the Lionheart Club's daily operations are no longer his concern?

"Excuse me, may I get to know you?"

A clear, crisp female voice suddenly rang out from the table.

Huo Yuhao looked up, his face full of question marks.

Cao Jinxuan almost spat out the juice in his mouth, and silently lowered his head to suppress his laughter.

Standing before him was a silver-haired girl with bright eyes and sparkling features, staring intently at Huo Yuhao, making no attempt to hide the... affection in her eyes?

Huo Yuhao quickly went through the original plot in his mind: silver hair, the Sun Moon Empire, a straightforward infatuation... Meng Hongchen?

Wait a minute, wasn't she pursuing Wang Dong in the original novel?

"Miss, may I ask who you are?" Huo Yuhao suppressed his inner complaints and asked politely.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself!" The girl slapped her forehead and laughed heartily. "My name is Meng Hongchen, and I come from the Sun Moon Empire."

really……

"Meng! What are you doing running around like that!"

Another young voice came from afar. He also had silver hair and walked over hurriedly, his eyes watching Huo Yuhao warily, like a little leopard guarding its food, as if he was afraid that Huo Yuhao would kidnap his sister.

It is a laugh at the mortal world.

"Brother!" Meng Hongchen called out as she turned around, then immediately turned back, her eyes still fixed on Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao: "..."

Cao Jinxuan kept his head down, his shoulders shaking violently, his face full of envy that said, "Brother, you're amazing!"

It has to be said that Huo Yuhao today is completely different from the naive young man in the original novel.

He was tall and well-proportioned, with cool-toned white skin. Beneath his neat short black hair, his dark eyes were clear and sharp. He always had a nonchalant smile on his face. Arrogance and gentleness were strangely blended in him. In terms of demeanor and appearance, he was even more eye-catching than Wang Dong. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the face of the Lionheart Society.

"I am Huo Yuhao, a student of Shrek Academy and president of the Lionheart Society." He gave a brief self-introduction, but couldn't help but feel a little strange thinking to himself: What's going on here? Unable to get Wang Dong, she's after her boyfriend now?

Xiao Hongchen took a step forward, blocking Meng Hongchen's path, and sized Huo Yuhao up and down, his tone carrying the arrogance of a genius from the Sun Moon Empire: "Shrek? What do you want by getting close to my sister?"

Huo Yuhao was so angry he laughed. His sharp tongue instantly kicked in: "Hey classmate, get this straight, it was your sister who came looking for me. Also, I have to leave now, so please make way."

Chapter 70 Confession, Purification

In the corridor of the Star Emperor Hotel, Xiao Hongchen's temple throbbed three times.

He had lived for fifteen years and was the recognized number one genius of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and the grandson of the Mingde Hall Master. What kind of scene hadn't he seen?

There's just one thing he can't do with his twin sister.

Meng Hongchen stared in the direction Huo Yuhao had left, her ruby-like eyes sparkling.

He looked as if he had seen some rare treasure.

"Have you seen enough?" Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth, stepped aside to make way, and said in a voice as cold as the wind of the Arctic, "Huo Yuhao, right? Shrek's genius... We'll see you on the field."

The boy at the end of the corridor didn't stop, only turned his head and nodded slightly, his tone completely calm: "Whatever. Cao Jinxuan, let's go."

"Okay, boss!" Cao Jinxuan, who was following behind, hurriedly responded. When he passed the brother and sister, he didn't forget to scratch his head and smile, just like a little follower.

Once everyone had completely turned the corner and disappeared from sight, Meng Hongchen suddenly snapped out of her daze, turned around and glared at Xiao Hongchen: "Xiao, it's all your fault! You had that sour face just now, and you scared everyone away!"

Laughing at the World: "..."

He took a deep breath and practically forced the words out: "Wake up! He's from Shrek Academy! He's our opponent in this Continental Tournament!"

"What's wrong with the opponent?" Meng Hongchen pouted, then couldn't help but glance at the end of the corridor, her cheeks slightly flushed. "He's good-looking."

"I...!" Xiao Hongchen almost choked on his words, swallowing back the curse that was about to come out.

He definitely couldn't hit her; she was his own sister. So, the blame would fall on that Shrek kid who stole his sister's soul.

On the field, he was determined to utterly defeat this kid.

Huo Yuhao, who had just stepped out of the hotel, suddenly felt an itch in his nose for no reason and sneezed slightly.

He touched the tip of his nose, a little suspicious: Could it be that someone is cursing me behind my back?

Cao Jinxuan leaned over from the side: "Boss, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Huo Yuhao shook his head and looked up at the magnificent building at the end of the street. "Let's go, Starlight Auction House."

……

The Starlight Auction House is the largest trading place for soul tools in Star Luo City. Its outer walls are inlaid with tiny light-attribute crystals, which are not visible during the day, but will exude a soft silver glow at night.

As soon as Huo Yuhao stepped into the front hall, he heard a familiar, clear, and cold female voice.
