Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 44 Xuanzi is so comfortable, thanks to the big shot's recommendation letter.

Sunset Forest, somewhere in the core area.

Under Xuanzi's guidance, some disciples have already obtained soul rings for themselves.

Although there were some minor accidents during the process, the number of soul rings absorbed by several disciples was accidentally overlooked by Elder Xuan a few times, and he did not carefully judge them, which exceeded the limit that the disciples could bear.

This almost caused these disciples to lose control of the malevolent energy contained within their spirit rings.

Fortunately, no major problems arose in the end. Xuanzi released his terrifying aura in time to suppress the malevolent energy within the soul ring, allowing the disciples to successfully absorb the soul ring at the small cost of disrupted soul power.

As night fell, Zhang Lexuan directed her disciples to help each other set up tents, just like the day before.

"Xiaoya, the thousand-year-old spirit-binding vine you absorbed this time is several hundred years older than your body's limits, yet you persevered. Your future is sure to be bright."

"Yes, for the Tang Clan! These hardships are nothing."

Tang Ya felt the aura brought by the Soul Ring of the Binding Vine, and nodded emphatically with a joyful expression on her face.

Beibei was still a little shaken. The spirit ring that Tang Ya had just absorbed was several hundred years old, making the whole process quite arduous.

Fortunately, Tang Ya persevered to the end with her unwavering determination, and the sweat on her forehead slid down like broken beads, wetting her hair.

She desperately wanted to improve.

A surge of hope welled up in Tang Ya's heart, and her eyes reddened slightly. If she continued to develop the life attributes and resilience of the Blue Silver Grass as she did today, she should be able to reclaim the old site of the Tang Clan and avenge her parents in no time.

Before leaving school, her best friend Jiang Nannan said that she had rented a house and was temporarily staying in Tiandou City, and that she could come to Tiandou City to find her after she obtained her soul ring.

But at that time, Tang Ya was subconsciously trying to escape the city because it held too many painful memories.

And since her strength was so weak, it was inevitable that when she went to Tiandou City, the images of the Tang Sect's foundation being taken away and her parents being murdered would appear in her mind, and she would be powerless to do anything about it.

But having absorbed the Binding Vine today, Tang Ya rallied, clenched her fists, and encouraged herself: "My Blue Silver Grass is just as good. If I keep going, I will definitely become very, very strong."

Seeing Tang Ya's confidence, Bei Bei was genuinely happy for her.

"Xiaoya, never keep anything to yourself, and never act rashly on your own. I will always help you."

Tang Ya nodded and said, "Luckily, Yuhao reminded me that I shouldn't have fused the Blue Silver Grass martial soul with that poisonous Mandragora snake. It seems that our ancestors' path wasn't always right."

Beibei smiled and said, "The fact that the Blue Silver Grass martial soul can fuse with the Mandragora Snake shows that it has a strong inclusiveness."

"If that's the case, why fuse with poison? With such strong compatibility, we should try other plant-type soul beasts with different attributes."

Beibei himself possesses the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul, and he knows that lightning-attribute attacks are very powerful.

Even if it doesn't absorb life-attribute plants, if there are lightning-attribute plant-type soul beasts, they are much better than poison-attribute Datura snakes in every aspect.

After all, fusing with plants is definitely a better fit than fusing with Blue Silver Grass to a Soul Beast Snake.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan walked over and asked in a cool tone, "Tang Ya, after you've hunted down the spirit rings, are you going to Heaven Dou City? I can go with you."

Tang Ya stubbornly shook her head; she would take revenge on her own.

Bei Bei was taken aback: "Senior Sister, what are you going to Heaven Dou City for?"

Zhang Lexuan frowned and said coldly, "Ancestor worship."

Beibei suddenly realized what had happened, and a hint of self-reproach and guilt appeared in his eyes. Come to think of it, he shouldn't have forgotten his senior sister's background and this whole affair.

Zhang Lexuan was originally born into a noble family in the Heavenly Soul Empire, but was later persecuted by another powerful noble family.

According to his great-grandfather Mu En, Zhang Lexuan was playing hide-and-seek at the time and hid under the bed, thus escaping the danger. She was later rescued by Mu En and taken back to Shrek Academy.

(PS: Although it's a bit far-fetched to escape by hiding under the bed while playing hide-and-seek, and it makes you think the enemy's Soul Master is an idiot, that's how it's described in the original work... Well, that's how it is.)

Zhang Lexuan turned around gracefully, her back to Bei Bei and Tang Ya, and asked in a cold tone, "Bei Bei, I'm going to Tian Dou City, do you want to come with me?"

"Uh, I think I'll pass, Senior Sister."

"OK."

Zhang Lexuan didn't say a word, and gracefully walked to her own tent to prepare for rest.

Xuanzi leaned against a large tree beside the group. Thanks to his diligent protection, no children had been injured or killed. He felt very satisfied and enjoyed a chicken leg and a sip of fine wine.

…………

"Teacher Xuan, I might have to go back to Heaven Dou City again. As for whether I will study at your Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, I'll give you an answer in a few days, okay?"

Huo Yuhao did not immediately accept Xuan Ziwen's invitation.

"No problem, Yuhao." Xuan Ziwen and Xu Sheng's destination for the ancestral worship was also Tiandou City.

So Xuan Ziwen told Huo Yuhao to think it over for a few days and give him a definite answer before he left the Heavenly Soul Empire.

"Yuhao, the Sun Moon Empire is eager to recruit talented people. Anyone who contributes to the development of the Empire's soul guidance technology can receive very good treatment."

Xuan Ziwen threw out a silver-white cube, and the metal block instantly expanded and changed at an extremely fast speed, soon transforming into a soul-guided tent.

He took out a few metal chairs, and very naturally pulled Huo Yuhao to sit next to him, using himself as an example.

"I was originally from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Based on my decent scientific research achievements, I entered the Mingde Hall as a senior researcher."

"Moreover, our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has gathered almost all the top teachers in the field of soul guidance across the entire continent. Its soul guidance technology education system can be said to be unparalleled on the continent."

"If you are interested in soul tools, I can guarantee that there is absolutely no place more suitable for you than our academy."

Xuan Ziwen talked about the many advantages of the Sun Moon Empire and compared it with Shrek Academy. They did not particularly value the level of innate soul power, but paid more attention to talent and comprehension in soul tools.

Soul Masters with low innate soul power levels can reach the Soul Saint or Soul Douluo level even if they take drugs, as long as they have a strong comprehension of soul tools.

Although his foundation is shallow, his combat power when using soul tools at a distance is no weaker than that of ordinary soul masters of the same level.

If Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department is the best in the world, then the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's Soul Guidance Department is also second to none, far ahead of the competition.

Xuan Ziwen repeatedly emphasized to Huo Yuhao that once he went there and experienced it for a few days, he would definitely realize how right it was for him to develop at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, given his spiritual attribute, the Spirit Eye Martial Soul.

"Teacher Xuan, I've actually heard before that your expertise in the field of soul tools far surpasses that of any other force on the continent."

Huo Yuhao nodded to indicate that he understood, looking as if he was already aware of the enormous advantages of your soul guidance technology.

As can be seen from the final outcome of the original work, the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided technology was completely capable of suppressing the Chaotic Shark of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Even with Huo Qubing on the side of Shrek Academy and the original Three Kingdoms, they were almost wiped out by the Sun Moon Empire. In the end, it was Tang Shenwang, who claimed that "gods should not interfere with the mortal realm," who descended to the mortal realm to save the day and prevent the original Three Kingdoms from being completely destroyed.

Afterwards, Xuan Ziwen asked Huo Yuhao about his past experiences.

Huo Yuhao briefly explained: "To be precise, my identity is that of the illegitimate son of the patriarch of a noble family in the Star Luo Empire."

"After my mother was murdered, I felt that staying at home was harmful and not beneficial, so I ran away from home..."

Huo Yuhao truthfully recounted some experiences that others knew but had no impact on him, as there was no need to hide them.

Xuan Ziwen nodded slowly. He could clearly sense that there was nothing unusual about Huo Yuhao's soul power fluctuations while he was speaking.

"I understand, Yuhao. Don't worry, at our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, we will definitely train you to become an outstanding Soul Master so that you can fulfill your long-cherished wish as soon as possible."

Xuan Ziwen looked at Dugu Luo: "And your friend, her martial soul possesses extremely potent poison."

"At our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, we can combine this deadly poison with a soul tool to make the poison's lethality cover a wider range."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Luo instinctively said, "Isn't this just a hidden weapon?"

She had some knowledge of hidden weapons through the storybook "Dugu Bo and Tang San Become Friends Despite Their Age Difference" passed down from her ancestors.

For example, the Soul-Chasing Darts that Dugu Bo used ten thousand years ago were given to him by Tang San.

Its power seems quite considerable, granting Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, whose combat strength is slightly lower than other Title Douluos, the ability to fight against other Title Douluos.

However, Dugu Luo has absolutely no interest in hidden weapons now.

Xuan Ziwen shook his head and chuckled, "How can this be related to hidden weapons?"

He then gave Dugu Luo a detailed explanation, explaining that fusing toxins into a fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell could be considered a "biological weapon."

The range that the poison could not spread using soul skills could be easily achieved by soul-guided cannonballs.

Finally, from a perspective of humanistic concern, Xuan Ziwen told Dugu Luo that if she were to have the ability to manufacture fixed-position soul-guided missiles in the future, she should try not to use them unless it was a war on the mainland.

This impressive narration left Dugu Luo completely stunned, even leading her to believe that Dugu Luo was someone who could turn the tide of the war.

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched as he listened.

If he remembered correctly, the young lady of Mingde Hall, Meng Hongchen, possessed a martial spirit called Zhu Qingbing Toad, which was also a top-tier poison.

Although he cannot yet distinguish which is stronger, the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake or the venom of the Crimson Ice Toad.

However, despite also possessing poison attributes, Meng Hongchen didn't follow Xuan Ziwen's approach; instead, he focused on using Soul Guidance Armor.

What he remembers most clearly is that in the first Soul Master Competition in the original work, Meng Hongchen wore a full set of Soul Guidance Armor and held a pair of ice-blue longswords, shining brightly on the field.

With his cultivation level as a five-ring Soul King, he even managed to force Dai Yueheng, who was a six-ring Soul Emperor, to retreat in defeat.

"Alright, that's all I wanted to say. You guys get some rest. We'll go to Tiandou City together tomorrow morning."

With a friendly smile, Xuan Ziwen patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, then politely greeted Dugu Luo. The group then got up and returned to their respective tents.

Just like last night, Huo Yuhao and Dugu Luo slept on the bed while one of them slept on the floor.

"Yuhao, have you considered going to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?"

After listening to Xuan Ziwen's explanation, Dugu Luo felt that this academy was quite good, mainly because she described her martial soul's poison ability as extremely powerful.

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Teacher Xuan is right. My martial soul is the Spirit Eye, and your soul skill can condense the Azure Serpent Venom Spear. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is indeed a good place for us to show our skills."

"However, I suggest that you wait until the toxin problem in your body is completely resolved before you enter the academy to study. Until then, you can cultivate on your own with the help of detoxification pills."

Dugu Luo also had this concern; the most important thing was to completely eliminate his own hidden dangers first.

Inside another tent with a metallic finish.

"Hey Xuan Ziwen, you mentioned the fire lotus Yuhao released earlier, and the ice cabinet he casually conjured, but his martial soul is the Spirit Eye. How did he manage that?"

Xu Sheng was puzzled. He had wanted to ask Huo Yuhao directly, but Huo Yuhao hadn't mentioned these things when introducing his experience and martial soul, so he ultimately suppressed his curiosity.

Xuan Ziwen had an attitude of "You're asking me? Who should I ask?"

"Since Yuhao didn't say, there's no need for us to dwell on it. We just need to know that he has great talent, and that's enough."

After all, everyone has their own trump cards. Maybe when Yuhao goes to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and everyone gets to know each other better, he will naturally reveal them.

Xuan Ziwen sat down at the soul guidance table, took out two pieces of paper, and prepared to write.

Xu Sheng was taken aback and asked with some confusion, "Xuan Ziwen, what's going on? Do you need to write something in advance for your ancestral worship?"

Xuan Ziwen's forehead creased with a few black lines: "I was preparing to write a letter of recommendation and send it to the college teachers in advance."

"Oh, is that so?" Xu Sheng said thoughtfully. Having encountered such a promising talent, should he do something for the sect leader...?

Xuan Ziwen started writing, and Xu Sheng walked over to watch.

Xu Sheng was still thinking about whether he could learn something, but Xuan Ziwen only wrote two lines.

"I recommend this student to you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. — Xuan Ziwen, a direct disciple of Confucius."

Xu Sheng disagreed with Xuan Ziwen: "Did you write the recommendation letter like this?"

"Shouldn't we have clearly written down all of Yuhao's advantages, especially the keywords 'eye martial soul' and 'spiritual attribute'? We should have emphasized them repeatedly in the letter so that the other party would know how extraordinary the talent of the prospect we found is."

Xuan Ziwen slowly shook his head: "You don't understand."

"A recommendation letter is not about the letter itself, but about the person making the recommendation."

He put away the letter he had written: "This is practically a guarantee. Do I, Xuan Ziwen, need to clearly list all the strengths of the students I recommend?"

Xu Sheng thought for a moment and felt that Xuan Ziwen's words made sense; this kind of recommendation letter was also known as a recommendation notice.
