Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, the Thief of Heaven

The group pushed aside the low bushes blocking their way and arrived at the stream. The closer they got to the stream, the stronger the aroma of grilled fish became.

"It smells so good."

Before even seeing the grilled fish, Xiao Xiao could already imagine how delicious it would be, with its crispy skin and juicy flesh dancing on her tongue.

The first thing you see is the back of a tall man, eating grilled fish with one hand and giving a thumbs-up to the person opposite him with the other.

The oil dripping from the grilled fish over the campfire crackled and popped on the flames. Xiao Xiao stood there, stunned.

She pointed to the boy opposite the man, who was about to put the grilled fish into his mouth and was also staring blankly at her, and asked in surprise, "Class monitor, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Xiao recognized him as Huo Yuhao, the ultimate Ice Soul Master who had been a Soul Master since the start of the school year, and the only one in the class who dared to disobey Zhou Yi.

Huo Yuhao was also stunned. When he saw Xiao Xiao's Shrek Academy uniform and her age, he immediately remembered that he had a clone who was "cultivating hard" at Shrek Academy.

It's just that the Dao traces of the clone are not yet accumulated enough, otherwise I would have gone to receive the Dao traces and memories of that clone.

"It's Xiao Xiao, your classmate, someone you knew from your past life," Tianmeng Bingcan reminded her.

"Oh, Xiao Xiao, what a coincidence! You're here too?" Huo Yuhao said with an awkward smile.

Xiao Xiao's gaze gradually shifted from bewilderment to understanding, and then to rolling her eyes.

"I've heard you're a very busy person, class monitor. You must have a good reason for skipping class every few days."

There are often some bad rumors about Huo Yuhao in the academy. It is said that he often skips classes not to cultivate, but to travel around the academy.

An even more outrageous claim is that he had an affair with a female student in the inner courtyard, and that he would go to her dormitory every day and then have to lean against the wall to come out.

Now I'm certain, he's just a spendthrift who squandered his early talent. Her hardworking Wang Dong is definitely the best.

Wang Dong, sleeping in the Shrek Academy dormitory: "Achoo!"

She glanced blankly at Huo Yuhao's split soul, who was still fast asleep on the bed, then turned over and went back to sleep.

Cultivation is nowhere near as enjoyable as sleeping.

"Yes, I think cultivation requires frequent contact with nature," Huo Yuhao said with a relieved smile.

He felt that his divided soul must be receiving special training from the Sea God Pavilion's Title Douluo, otherwise why would he be taking leave every few days?

As expected, this Emotional God King's divided soul is quite diligent; I can't wait to receive the Dao traces accumulated from him.

The Emotional God King's split soul, far away in Shrek Academy: "Achoo!"

After glancing at Wang Dong, who was fast asleep on the opposite bed, she lay down as well.

While it's true that split souls don't need to sleep, this is for the purpose of enjoying life and accumulating positive emotional traces.

Cultivation is nowhere near as enjoyable as sleeping.

Xiao Xiao looked at him with disdain, thinking to herself that this guy was really shameless, not even knowing to hide his laziness from people.

Then his eyes quietly shifted to the grilled fish over Huo Yuhao's campfire, and he swallowed hard.

"Here, let me treat you to some food."

"Great! Class monitor is the best!" Xiao Xiao jumped three feet high and sat down next to Huo Yuhao to eat grilled fish.

"This senior looks unfamiliar. Who are you?" The Soul King Captain sat down next to Di Tian and started chatting with him.

In his view, this person's appearance was so extraordinary, yet he couldn't sense any fluctuation of soul power around him; he was definitely a master at the Soul Saint level.

"Long Xiaoyao," Di Tian replied indifferently, then continued to focus on the grilled fish in front of him.

This answer left the Soul King Captain completely bewildered, as he knew that he had seen most of the Soul Saints and Soul Douluo powerhouses of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

They had even met two titled Douluo.

But he still couldn't recall which powerful figure the name Long Xiaoyao was related to. Could it be that he was just a tall and strong ordinary person?

"It smells delicious! I had no idea you, class monitor, had this skill!"

Xiao Xiao's eating manners were no better than Wu Feng's and Wang Qiu'er's; her mouth was greasy from eating.

"No need to rush, I can grill some more for you if you like," Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile.

Xiao Xiao alone devoured ten grilled fish from Huo Yuhao. As the number of people increased from two to eight, Huo Yuhao transformed into a merciless grilling machine.

"Squad leader, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Xiao, whose belly was round and full from eating, then realized that it was strange that Huo Yuhao was here.

If Huo Yuhao wanted to travel and enjoy the scenery, he should go to a very safe place. If he wanted to hunt for spirit rings, he should go to the far north.

Why is Huo Yuhao here, in the Sunset Forest surrounded by poisonous miasma in the core area?

This makes no sense at all.

Xuanzi should have discovered that Huo Yuhao possessed twin martial souls, but the abilities Huo Yuhao displayed at the time were those of a mental-type soul master.

Therefore, Xuanzi did not take Huo Yuhao seriously, regarding him as just another nobody.

Therefore, Xiao Xiao couldn't find out why Huo Yuhao was a spirit-type soul master and came here to hunt spirit-type soul beasts.

"I'm here to investigate some herbs that can enhance mental strength. Xiao Xiao, what are you doing here?" Huo Yuhao made up a story.

Faced with this question, Xiao Xiao's eyes darted around, still wanting to maintain the mystery and give Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong a big surprise.

"I'm here to hunt soul beasts. I've broken through to level 20."

Click——

The sound of bamboo skewers breaking reached everyone's ears, and they saw Di Tian staring at the campfire with a gloomy expression.

"Senior Xiaoyao, what's wrong?" Huo Yuhao asked Di Tian in confusion.

"It's alright, I'm full. We still have a mission to complete, let's go."

Before Huo Yuhao could react, Di Tian had already gotten up and left, striding towards the center of Sunset Forest without looking back.

"Wait a minute." Huo Yuhao hurriedly chased after him.

"Sorry, we'll be going now." With a wave of his hand, Huo Yuhao bid farewell to Xiao Xiao and the others.

"Senior Long, what's wrong?" Huo Yuhao hurriedly asked Di Tian.

"I sensed it, I sensed it. I sensed that aura." Di Tian gritted his teeth, his expression radiant with excitement.

He was not like ordinary humans; he sensed a familiar aura deep within the forest—the aura of a surviving member of his own kind.

This aura is ancient and enduring, indicating that it belongs to a being of the same kind who has reached the divine level, and not just any ordinary divine level.

"What did Senior Long sense?" Huo Yuhao asked in confusion.

Di Tian stopped and looked at Huo Yuhao. "There's something good, but the poisonous miasma ahead is getting in the way."

With a wave of his hand, Di Tian swept Huo Yuhao into the deep darkness before he could react.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a strange pool of water in front of him.

Hot pot with two broths.

This description perfectly captures the scene before us: ice and heat coexist in a clear spring, the red and blue colors clearly distinct.

"Is this the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire that Brother Tianmeng mentioned?" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the scene before him.

"Intruders?!"

Just then, a female voice suddenly rang out from behind Huo Yuhao.

When Huo Yuhao turned around, he didn't find anyone behind him, only a large purple flower emitting pollen.
