Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, the Thief of Heaven

"It's just that I've been accumulating too much fatigue all day, and it suddenly exploded in an instant."

The kind-looking white-haired old lady stopped treating Huo Yuhao, her squinting eyes filled with curiosity about his symptoms.

If she hadn't carefully investigated and had Huo Yuhao's presence at the scene over the past few days as proof, she would have suspected that Huo Yuhao had been frantically overdrawing his own energy to use his soul skills.

This is indeed the result of years of arduous training and accumulated fatigue, right?

"Thank you so much, Grandma Tree." Ning Tian thanked Grandma Tree, then turned to Huo Yuhao and said casually, "You know what? Just get some rest these next few days."

"Hmm." Grandma Tree had already arrived at the gate. Before leaving, she turned to Huo Yuhao meaningfully and said, "Young man, you should be careful to restrain yourself."

"Yes, yes, Ning Tian, ​​Grandma Tree." Huo Yuhao replied with an awkward smile as he put on the shirt he had taken off.

After confirming that Huo Yuhao was alright, the group left the room and headed to the Soul Guidance Engineering Department.

With the industrial foundation accumulated previously, Huo Yuhao's designed mecha has begun construction, and the basic framework of the feet has been completely completed.

"This mecha will be a technology demonstrator, and its design framework is based on the [Hellfire Dragon]. Aunt Yun will be the pilot," Huo Yuhao explained to everyone.

"So that's why you marked a certain area on the design drawings as not to be built. It turns out that was the soul power supply module," Ning Tian said.

"Ning Tian, ​​you seem to have a good understanding of soul tool design," Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.

"Because we can't design a soul power storage module that can power large mechs, and the transformation module is also very time-consuming, we've temporarily cut it."

"A transformation module?" Ning Tian and Na'er asked curiously at the same time.

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to explain that the mecha would have two forms, a waiter hurriedly ran up to them.

"Young master and young lady, the sect leader has important matters to discuss with you."

?

The group turned around in confusion.

Upon arriving at Ning Zhiyuan's office again, an elderly man sat opposite Ning Zhiyuan's desk, chatting and laughing.

"What powerful humans!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor exclaimed in unison.

Including Benjamin Sun, all the residents in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea lowered their breaths, afraid of being detected by the newcomer.

While surprised by Tianmeng and the others' reactions, Huo Yuhao assured them that he had no recollection of the old man, as he had met all the Soul Saints and Soul Douluos within the past year.

Furthermore, even Soul Saints, Soul Douluos, and Title Douluos are not enough to make Benjamin and others worry about being exposed, yet this old man actually managed to do so.

Beside the elderly man, a man and two women served him, appearing to be like the elderly man's juniors.

One of them had long hair down to her waist, and just by looking at her back, you could tell she was a tall, slender woman with a great figure, around twenty years old.

The other two looked to be around the same age as Huo Yuhao and the others, probably only two or three years older.

Behind the purple-haired boy was a girl with a ponytail, half a head shorter than him. The girl was obviously a little shy, as if she was hiding behind the boy.

Noticing someone approaching, the three younger relatives beside the old man turned around to look behind him.

"You must be Sect Master Ning's daughter, right?" The mature and intelligent beauty stepped forward and greeted Ning Tian.

"My name is Zhang Lexuan, and I'm a member of Shrek Academy's inner court. I've heard of you; you awakened level nine and a half of innate soul power during your awakening ceremony. Would you consider studying at Shrek Academy for a couple of years?"

Zhang Lexuan smiled and extended her hand to Ning Tian in a friendly manner. Ning Tian's expression was full of shock. "Zhang Lexuan, is she the captain of the Shrek Academy team in the previous Soul Master Elite Tournament of the Douling Empire?"

Huo Yuhao and Wu Feng were both incredibly shocked, after all, Shrek Academy held a significant place in the hearts of the people of Douluo Continent.

Even someone like Huo Yuhao, who only knows how to bury himself in training all day long, has heard of the champions of the recent continental youth elite soul master competitions.

With her formidable level 69 cultivation, Zhang Lexuan swept aside all enemies, overwhelmingly defeating the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Team of the Sun Moon Empire.

Seven and a half years have passed now, and it's unimaginable how high her level is now.

"Are you Senior Zhang Lexuan? The Silver Moon from the Shrek team back then?" Ning Tian asked excitedly.

Zhang Lexuan was also her idol. Although she might not join Shrek Academy now, she could guess the reason from the current situation and her father's attitude.

But that doesn't stop her from admiring Zhang Lexuan. Zhang Lexuan is simply the bright moon of the younger generation, the moonlight in everyone's heart.

"Senior Lexuan, I also have myself, my name is Wufeng." Wufeng pointed to herself excitedly, she also admired Zhang Lexuan very much.

"Oh dear, everyone calling me 'senior' makes me feel old. You should just call me Sister Lexuan or Senior Sister Lexuan, like Beibei does," Zhang Lexuan said, looking troubled.

Ultimately, they admire their outstanding juniors, so let them call them seniors.

Then Zhang Lexuan turned her gaze to Huo Yuhao and asked kindly, "Little brother, what about you? Following these two young ladies, I guess your talent must be extraordinary as well."

"I……"

Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to Ning Zhiyuan, who was chatting with the old man. Ning Zhiyuan subtly made a gesture to Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao immediately understood.

"Sister Le Xuan, my name is Huo Yuhao. I am a Soul Master from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Oh, a Soul Master." Le Xuan was clearly not very interested in Soul Masters, but she still gave Huo Yuhao an expectant look.

"But even if you embark on this path, don't slack off on your own cultivation."

Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement after hearing Zhang Lexuan's words.

"Greetings, fellow disciples. My name is Beibei, and her name is Tang Ya. We apologize for disturbing you by visiting your sect today."

The purple-haired boy was a rather gentle and refined young man. He greeted Huo Yuhao and the others in a similar approachable tone to Zhang Lexuan.

Tang Ya, who was hiding behind her, peeked out mischievously and waved to the group with a peace sign, saying, "My name is Tang Ya. I came here with them to broaden my horizons. I'm also the leader of the Tang Clan, by the way."

"Tang Clan?!" The expressions of the group, who had been smiling as they accepted Tang Ya's introduction, changed drastically, and they all gasped in shock.

Huo Yuhao subtly took a half-step back.

Ning Tian, ​​who was learning about family history at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, didn't have a good impression of the Tang Clan, and so did Wu Feng.

However, the outward appearances still had to be maintained. Ning Tian extended his hand to Tang Ya and said, "It's actually the Tang Clan Master in person. I really haven't been welcoming you properly."

Upon seeing Ning Tian's expression, Tang Ya's eyes lit up, and she excitedly grasped Ning Tian's hands, saying, "Since Miss Ning knows about the Tang Clan, why don't you join?"

……

What is this guy saying?

Even the old man and Ning Zhiyuan who were chatting behind her were slightly taken aback, unable to figure out what was going on in this girl's mind.

Are you saying that the young lady of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School should give up her comfortable life, join the now-deceased Tang Sect, and then dedicate her life to its revival?

Moreover, they poached someone from a top-tier power on the mainland right in front of the person's own father.

That's a very real life.
