Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 47: Xiao Wu's Eight-Stage Throwing Highlights, Join This Hall Master in Blocking People

Inside Jiang Nannan's house, by the time the soup and meal were cooked, it was already night.

"It smells so good, Sister Nan! Your cooking is just as good as Yuhao's!"

Dugu Luo carried the sumptuous dishes to the round table in the living room and put them down. Smelling the rich aroma in the air, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"These are just everyday meals."

Holding the soup she had just cooked, Jiang Nannan smiled and said, "I started learning to cook seven or eight years ago, ever since my mother got sick."

Dugu Luo turned to look at Huo Yuhao and found him fiddling with a strange ball of light, which seemed to be woven from threads condensed by his spiritual power.

"Huh? Yuhao, can you create some scenes of Soul Masters fighting?"

Dugu Luo found it very novel: "If possible, we can watch it while we eat later."

Huo Yuhao thought so too. Watching some scenes while leisurely eating at home was a necessary part of the meal.

Although he created the story himself and knew the plot, he mainly focused on creating a pleasant atmosphere for the meal.

"Sister Dugu, how about I weave a scene or two of your ancestor Dugu Bo's battles? What do you think?"

With his memories of reading Tangjia Continent comics and anime in his previous life, plus a little of his own imagination, it wasn't difficult for Huo Yuhao to weave these scenes.

"The Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, huh..."

Dugu Luo thought about the scene of poisoning an entire town, then suddenly shuddered and quickly shook her head: "That's a bit too cruel, not suitable to watch while eating."

"Why don't you create some battle scenes related to Sister Nan Nan's martial spirit?"

She had noticed Jiang Nannan's rabbit ear hair accessory before and guessed that the other party might have a rabbit-type martial soul or like rabbits.

Jiang Nannan noticed Dugu Luo's gaze and smiled slightly, saying, "My martial soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit."

Recalling the story of Tang San and Dugu Bo becoming close friends despite their age difference, Dugu Luo tentatively asked, "Is it the same martial soul as Tang San's wife from ten thousand years ago?"

Not entirely.

Jiang Nannan lightly touched the hair accessory on her head and pondered for a moment.

"When you first enter Shrek Academy, you will see the statues of the original Shrek Seven Devils as soon as you enter the school gate, and the teachers will also introduce them in the first few classes."

"Tang San's wife, Xiao Wu, was a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit who had transformed into human form. She had also experienced death and rebirth, and in the end, she even obtained the inheritance of a god."

Jiang Nannan herself possesses the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul, and although she sometimes feels proud of it, she ultimately finds it unbelievable.

Dugu Luo nodded: "I know that too. It's recorded in my family's ancestral storybook."

She knew perfectly well that the original Shrek Seven Devils were able to become gods under Tang San's guidance thanks in no small part to the various immortal herbs of their ancestor, Dugu Bo.

If she and Yuhao successfully enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the future, and properly consume certain immortal herbs, is it possible...?

Oh dear, what was I thinking?

Dugu Luo shook her head sharply, banishing unrealistic fantasies from her mind; the problem of toxins in her body hadn't been completely resolved yet.

Jiang Nannan looked at Huo Yuhao, smiled and said, "Yuhao, why don't you show me some combat footage of the Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul? I'll see if I can learn anything from it."

"OK."

After a moment's thought, Huo Yuhao realized that having Tang Buddha appear in the scene was really unpleasant, so he decided to make a compilation of Xiao Wu's highlights.

Several tens of minutes later, after a rather sumptuous meal was served, he had also finished weaving—"A Collection of Rare and Famous Scenes from Xiao Wu's Eight-Stage Falls."

Huo Yuhao immediately simulated a large screen and established a mental connection between the image woven inside the light sphere and the large screen, and the image was successfully displayed on the large screen.

"Dinner's ready, dinner's ready."

Jiang Nannan called everyone to eat and handed a bowl of light soup to her mother: "Mom, have this bowl."

The chairs were moved around, and Dugu Luo, Jiang Nannan, and Huo Yuhao sat on one side of the round table, eating while watching the screen.

The images on it were all based on the Douyi anime that Huo Yuhao watched in his previous life. Although the Love Continent was criticized by everyone, the character modeling was still acceptable and was loved by 3D viewers.

Based on the real appearance of the Douluo after his transmigration, Huo Yuhao made slight modifications to the character's appearance to make it more realistic. Moonlight streamed in from the window, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

From the very first scene, Jiang Nannan and Dugu Luo were immediately drawn in.

"Is this Xiao Wu's signature move, the Eight-Stage Throw?"

Jiang Nannan didn't know this move, but she was particularly interested in it and wanted to figure out some clues.

"Looks amazing, can kick anything."

Dugu Luo was amazed by the power of the Eight-Stage Throw; even some beast spirit masters who were clearly stronger than Xiao Wu were violently thrown by her.

Huo Yuhao asked, "Sister Nannan, how are you feeling?"

"Mmm! This fight is amazing! And those soul skills!"

Jiang Nannan was completely engrossed in watching, chewing her food and swallowing it before continuing, "This soul skill is also amazing!"

Huo Yuhao: "..."

"I thought you, Sister Nan, would have some insights, and with your good comprehension, you would have figured out the key points of the Eight-Stage Throw and its power generation techniques, and then analyzed the overall principle of the Eight-Stage Throw."

"Yuhao, my sister is figuring out those poses." Jiang Nannan said with a serious expression.

Dugu Luo wiped her mouth with a tissue, covered her mouth and chuckled, "This set of eight falls left seven or eight afterimages with each 'thud,' there were indeed quite a few difficult poses."

Huo Yuhao nodded: "After all, Xiao Wu is a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit in human form. With so much practice, her Eight-Stage Throw naturally looks incredibly skillful."

After watching the highlight reel of Xiao Wu's Eight-Stage Fall, the group finished their meal, leaving the soup and meat dishes completely clean.

Jiang Nannan was in a good mood because of Huo Yuhao's return, while Dugu Luo felt satisfied with the warm atmosphere of eating with his friends.

The two leaned back comfortably in their chairs, their legs dangling in mid-air at the same height as the chairs, stretching out forward with ease.

"The Eight-Stage Throw requires a high level of strength and flexibility in the waist."

As she spoke, Dugu Luo's emerald green eyes darted between the image frozen on the screen and Jiang Nannan, and she couldn't help but compare Xiao Wu and Jiang Nannan's figures.

"Sister Nan, you seem to be even taller than Xiao Wu."

Dugu Luo looked down at the table: "Yuhao, look at Nannan's legs, aren't they very long?"

Huo Yuhao subconsciously glanced at Jiang Nannan's long, slender, and flawless legs. Her thighs were firm and fleshy, while her calves were slender and straight, giving her an advantage in leg length.

However, the Eight-Stage Throw mainly depends on technique, and the basic skills of the waist and legs must be solid enough.

Seeing Huo Yuhao looking at her, Jiang Nannan gracefully swayed her legs slightly in the air, crossing them slightly, before slowly bringing her legs back together and sitting up straighter.

She smiled and said slowly, "Actually, it has little to do with leg length. Yuhao is young and has short legs, but it doesn't affect his great skills."

Dugu Luo nodded, agreeing with her: "Indeed, Yuhao is the most capable person I've ever met among his peers."

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips. Was this a compliment? It just didn't feel quite right.

"Sister Nan, do you want to watch Xiao Wu's fight scenes again? Maybe we can learn something from them."

With a thought, a ball of light appeared in the air in front of him.

Jiang Nannan thought about it and felt that even if she thoroughly understood the Eight-Stage Throw, she would still need to practice it day by day.

"Let's not watch it anymore. We can watch it again when we have dinner tomorrow. No matter what the move is, mastering it takes time."

"Alright then, we'll see tomorrow."

Afterwards, the group cleaned up the dishes together. Huo Yuhao, with his control over the cold energy, was skilled at washing pots and pans and took the initiative to do the washing.

After helping her mother back to her room, Jiang Nannan came out and sat on the sofa in the living room.

Watching Huo Yuhao, who wasn't very tall, stand by the sink, using his soul power to pull a plate into his hand with one hand, and after a cloud of icy mist enveloped it, the plate instantly became as clean as ever.

For some reason, Jiang Nannan's gaze was focused on a place she shouldn't be looking at. She watched Huo Yuhao bend over and wave his hands while washing the dishes. His thin and weak body caused his buttocks to sway back and forth, making her want to bully his puppy-like little brother.

Dugu Luo blinked: "Sister Nan Nan, your focus has become strange."

Jiang Nannan, without blushing or skipping a beat, quietly withdrew her gaze.

"It's nothing, I just think he's very well-behaved."

"Hehe, I get it, maybe it's the same feeling Yuhao had when he looked at your legs."

Dugu Luo smiled playfully. It was the first time in many years that she had experienced such a peaceful and warm atmosphere, which filled her heart with a unique warmth.

"Sister Nan, when is Yuhao leaving?"

Jiang Nannan slowly shook her head: "I'm not sure about that either. I'll ask him tonight."

She could clearly sense that Yuhao couldn't stay in this cozy little home for long. Although he looked young, he had a strong sense of purpose once he set his mind on something, and seemed to have many reasons why he had to get it done.

After washing all the dishes and pots, Huo Yuhao walked out of the kitchen and smiled, "Sister Nannan, it's getting late, let's rest."

Jiang Nannan nodded slightly, and then the three chatted for a few more minutes before returning to their respective bedrooms.

Huo Yuhao took a quick shower and lay down on the soft, comfortable bed. He had been sleeping either in holes dug in the snow or on a makeshift bed in a tent for a long time and hadn't had a proper night's sleep in a bed.

Seemingly exhausted from the experiences in the far north and the Sunset Forest, Huo Yuhao quickly fell into a deep sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, a few rays of light began to scatter into the pitch-black room.

The door was pushed open slightly, and Jiang Nannan tiptoed to the doorway, peeking inside through the crack...

Seeing that Huo Yuhao was already fast asleep, one could hear his even breathing.

After observing secretly for a while and confirming that the other party showed no signs of waking up, Jiang Nannan pushed the door open and came in, carefully closing the door behind her.

Although Huo Yuhao was very relaxed in the room, he still noticed a slight strange noise.

His eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with a faint golden glow.

Huo Yuhao looked at Jiang Nannan's delicate features and blinked, "Sister Nannan, is there something you need?"

Jiang Nannan straightened her pajamas, sat down on the edge of his bed, and asked softly.

"Yuhao, when are you planning to leave?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment: "I'll leave in a couple of days."

Jiang Nannan was silent for a moment, then shifted her body closer to Huo Yuhao, raised her hands, and leaned slightly forward...

?

Huo Yuhao was taken aback, unsure of her thoughts: "Sister Nannan... what are you doing?"

Jiang Nannan smiled and said, "I'm afraid we won't see each other for a long time now that you're going to school."

"Tonight is also your first night back in your room. It's been so long since we last met, so let me give you a hug and a pat on the shoulder to express how much I've missed you."

Huo Yuhao lifted the thin blanket and gave Jiang Nannan a friendly hug. He was pulled into her arms and could clearly feel the pressure of her soft body.

The soft touch lingered for a long time, and Huo Yuhao mumbled, "Sister Nannan... how long is a hug?"

Jiang Nannan did not respond, but simply held him quietly, her breath warm.

……

The next day.

Sun and Moon Empire, Mingdu, at the entrance of Mingde Hall.

Jing Hongchen stood with his hands behind his back, smiling as he looked at the man in black in front of him, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Here to buy soul tools again. This month, the success rate of soul tool making at my Mingde Hall is relatively high, with only about three hundred failures."

The man smiled憨厚ly at the former academy principal: "It's alright, Master, three hundred pieces are enough."

Jing Hongchen waved his hand, and a group of Soul Masters handed over their unsatisfactory failed products from levels one to five this month to the man, settling the bill on the spot.

The man completed his transaction with these Soul Masters without much effort.

Seeing the hesitation on the other person's face, Jing Hongchen asked kindly, "Is there anything else?"

"If you encounter a bottleneck in breaking through to the Soul Master level, I can send a researcher to help you."

Although that wasn't the reason, the man still felt incredibly warm upon hearing these words. Any researcher randomly selected from Mingde Hall was a level seven or eight Soul Master.

He handed the envelope to Jing Hongchen: "Master, Teacher Xuan Ziwen wrote a letter of recommendation, asking me to give it to another teacher in the academy."

Jing Hongchen was somewhat surprised: "There are students who could get Xuan Ziwen to write a letter of recommendation?"

The man nodded: "What Professor Xu Sheng means is that since we are studying at our academy, we should let the hall master take a look first."

"Let me see. I'm very curious about what Xuan Ziwen wrote that he personally recommended.

Jing Hongchen opened the letter of recommendation and was stunned when she saw its contents.

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

Jing Hongchen exclaimed "Oh!" in amazement, then quickly beckoned behind her.

"Jiayi, Jiayi, come here quickly and help me analyze this letter of recommendation. What exactly does it mean?"

Another short, stout man burst forth with a speed disproportionate to his bulky physique, arriving before Jing Hongchen in just a few steps.

Lin Jiayi leaned closer and took a look, then gasped.

"Master, Xuan Ziwen is inherently arrogant. For him to write such a recommendation letter, he must have enough confidence in this student."

After a long pause, Jing Hongchen slowly spoke: "Jiayi, postpone tomorrow's research project. Come with me to ambush someone."
