Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 57 The grandson-in-law's plan is really shrewd.

After strolling around the campus, Huo Yuhao discovered that there were indeed many girls who liked Xiao Hongchen, and they were whispering in twos and threes not far away, saying that Xiao Hongchen was so handsome.

Of course, there were also some people who said Huo Yuhao was good-looking, but Meng Hongchen pursed her lips and told him to ignore those voices.

"I didn't expect that Brother Xiao would have such a good reputation at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy," Huo Yuhao said with a light laugh, without any intention of teasing.

If it weren't for hearing these cheerful people's comments, I would have thought that most of them were students who couldn't stand Xiao Hongchen's arrogant attitude.

Xiao Hongchen's aristocratic air, along with her superior looks and talent, has indeed attracted a group of enthusiastic female fans.

"If it weren't for protecting and accompanying my sister, I would be doing very well in Mingdu now, let alone on campus," Xiao Hongchen said with a touch of melancholy and emotion.

Regardless, he was the son of a top noble family in the Sun Moon Empire, and his status was absolutely noble.

However, compared to the spoiled sons of the royal family, Xiao Hongchen felt that his character was far superior. He never indulged in frivolous pleasures or played around outside, and his only mission was to accompany Meng.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Brother Xiao, as the saying goes, when you gain something, you always lose something else. You are not like a spoiled brat who is idle and incompetent, but in return you have gained the high praise and recognition that so many people dream of as the number one genius of the empire."

Xiao Hongchen agreed with him and nodded slowly: "Yes, Yuhao, you're absolutely right."

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen looked up at Xiao Hongchen with a smile in her eyes: "Brother, you don't need to worry about me anymore. Yuhao will be with me from now on, so you can focus on breaking through to the fifth level of Soul Master."

Xiao Hongchen's expression froze. Although he had already acknowledged Huo Yuhao's talent, he was still not entirely comfortable letting his sister and Yuhao continue to develop like this.

He coughed, thought seriously for a moment, his gaze shifting between Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen, and spoke earnestly, setting an example as an elder brother.

"Dream, Yuhao is only a second-ring Soul Master right now, and he's also quite young, so he might not be very mature in terms of his temperament."

"Besides, if you and Yuhao are together, it will be difficult for him to take care of your feelings. Yuhao is three years younger than you, so you might have to take care of him."

Meng Hongchen blinked: "It's okay, we usually eat together and go to and from school together."

After a brief pause, she smiled and said, "Actually, I'm already very happy that you or Yuhao can keep me company. It's not like you have to provide so-called emotional support to coax me. I'm not that delicate."

Xiao Hongchen thought about it and felt that his sister was right. After all, Yuhao was also someone favored by his grandfather, and he couldn't possibly completely sever the relationship between Yuhao and his sister.

Speaking of which, ever since Xiao Hongchen witnessed the amazing effects of Huo Yuhao's mental detection, his goodwill and acceptance of him have skyrocketed.

Xiao Hongchen patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and sighed softly, "Yuhao, your talent is truly exceptional, so exceptional that it has changed my perception of you."

With such unparalleled talent, even Xiao Hongchen himself would be reluctant to give Huo Yuhao to someone else.

As for his mental detection forming a detection map in his mind, Xiao Hongchen wanted to find an opportunity to let Huo Yuhao test it in actual combat later.

He was eager to know how much of a benefit Huo Yuhao's soul skill could bring him in actual combat.

Huo Yuhao smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Xiao, you may not believe it, but actually my Spirit Eye Martial Soul's innate soul power level was not even at the maximum level at first, it was only level one."

"After running away from home, I stumbled upon some opportunities and happened to activate my second martial soul. That's when I discovered that I had some talent. After that, my cultivation gradually improved. To be able to get to this point now, it's all just a matter of luck."

"Your innate soul power level is only level one?" Xiao Hongchen's eyes showed a hint of disbelief and surprise.

Then Huo Yuhao showed him the scene he had created back then, depicting his level 10 soul power without soul rings fighting against a level 10 Wind Baboon with no equipment.

After witnessing the battle between the man and the baboon within the sphere of light, Xiao Hongchen believed it.

Meng Hongchen's eyes held a hint of mischief as she smiled and said, "Brother, how about it? Do you still think you're invincible among your peers?"

Xiao Hongchen snorted and confidently crossed his arms, saying, "Meng, Yuhao has already enrolled, so they'll definitely be our teammates from now on. Besides, Yuhao's support soul skill greatly enhances my soul-guided cannon ground-clearing tactics."

"Without Yuhao's assistance, I can only modestly say that I am half invincible. But with Yuhao's assistance, I would still be invincible among my peers."

……

Sun and Moon Empire, Royal Hall of Worship.

"Elder Kong, that's the situation with Yuhao. In today's entrance exam, the explosive gun he made by combining his self-created soul skill with a soul tool showed excellent results in actual combat."

Jing Hongchen recounted Huo Yuhao's performance and some details about his martial soul to Kong Deming.

Xuan Ziwen then added appropriately from the side: "Teacher, the kind of pill that Yuhao refined himself seems to have a similar effect to my special research project - baby bottles."

It's like giving the baby bottle a golden label.

After listening to their stories, Kong Deming narrowed his eyes slightly, and a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on his face for the first time in a long time.

"His physical body possesses a spirit-attribute eye-type martial soul, an unprecedented second martial soul with dual extreme attributes of ice and fire... yet, like my disciple Xuan Ziwen, he comes from another country."

Jing Hongchen cupped his hands and said, "Actually, in terms of attributes, my granddaughter's martial soul has three attributes: ice, fire, and poison. But Yuhao's talent is high because he has two extreme attributes. Such talent is truly one in a million."

Kong Deming had already heard Xuan Ziwen recount Huo Yuhao's background and pondered for a moment.

"Master Hongchen, you must be well aware of the core issue in this situation. It's simply about increasing Yuhao's sense of belonging and making that child genuinely and sincerely acknowledge our academy and country."

Kong Deming gripped the armrests of the armchair tightly, suppressing his inner joy.

"Such a prodigy would be highly valued and nurtured by any power on the continent. Compared to his background and status, his talent completely overshadows all of that!"

This is just like his journey of taking Xuan Ziwen as his disciple; it's simply a matter of exchanging sincerity for sincerity.

Hearing the tone of the other person's voice, Jing Hongchen's eyes brightened slightly: "So, what Elder Kong means is..."

"Master of Mingde Hall, I really don't know if you're genuinely confused, or if you're pretending to be confused when you know the truth."

Jing Hongchen smiled respectfully: "To be honest, Elder Kong, when faced with a child as talented as Yuhao, I am somewhat hesitant and unsure of what to do."

"Oh? Are you unsure whether to accept him and nurture him, or are you unsure about your next steps for Yuhao and your future development plan?"

Kong Deming opened his slightly closed eyes; these two situations are fundamentally different.

The former is a decision, whether or not to start. The latter is having already decided to start and considering future plans.

Jing Hongchen smiled politely as always: "Naturally, it's to discuss with Elder Kong the next steps in Yuhao's training plan."

He had already decided to mentor Yuhao, and his purpose in coming here was to hear the insights of this elder and wise man, Kong Lao.

"Yuhao's talent is so amazing that I am now somewhat apprehensive, worried that I will not nurture him properly and waste his potential."

Kong Deming suddenly laughed out loud: "Master of the Red Dust Hall, let's talk about the Soul Guidance Department. If even we, the Sun and Moon Sect, can't teach him, then who else on the entire continent can?"

Kong Deming himself possessed exceptional martial soul talent, being a twin martial soul, but he was incredibly passionate about the field of soul guidance, dedicating his life to the research of soul guidance technology.

He achieved this level of accomplishment by cultivating only one of the Silver Moon Martial Souls, while barely cultivating the second one.

Therefore, he was well aware that if a genius with twin martial souls, each compatible with both the soul guidance system and the martial soul system, could be fully nurtured, his terrifying potential would be unimaginable to others.

Jing Hongchen smiled wryly and nodded: "I have no concerns about the Soul Tool Domain."

"It's just Yuhao's second martial soul, with its extreme ice and fire dual attributes and unlimited potential. It would be a waste to use it on a soul tool."

Kong Deming said meaningfully, "I heard from Ziwen that when Yuhao was choosing between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy..."

"That child didn't care about Shrek Academy's ability to teach martial souls, which was the best in the entire continent, and completely denied it."

Their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's martial soul teaching ability is only slightly inferior to Shrek Academy.

However, we should not overlook their martial soul domain because of the unparalleled brilliance of their soul tools. In fact, they are also at a top level in guiding the cultivation of martial souls.

"Master Hongchen, since Yuhao has denied Shrek Academy's ability to teach martial souls..."

Kong Deming's eyes narrowed again: "So, in your opinion, besides Shrek Academy, what level does our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's actual control department rank on the continent?"

In fact, Jing Hongchen's actions are often correct, but he may not be able to fully understand them in his mind.

As an elder, what Master Kong needed to do was to help Jing Hongchen to sort out her thoughts and make her feel at ease to act boldly.

The Sun Moon Empire possesses the most powerful Soul Masters on the entire continent, without a doubt. Similarly, it also boasts top-tier Martial Souls, such as the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon.

Therefore, their overall martial soul domain ability is not bad, it's just that they don't have the huge advantage that soul tools do.

After a moment's thought, Jing Hongchen said, "Our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's Control Department is already among the top tier in terms of strength on the continent."

"If we don't compare it with Shrek Academy and some sects, it can be considered to be in a class of its own among the major royal academies."

Kong Deming smiled and said, "That's right. If Hall Master Hongchen is still worried, he can go back and ask the child again what he thinks of Shrek Academy's martial spirit teaching ability."

"Even in our view, Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department is so domineering that there have been cases of students applying for exchange programs in the past."

"But for a genius like Yuhao, once he decides that Shrek Academy is lacking in a certain aspect, that belief is planted in his heart and cannot be easily changed."

Although Kong Deming's second martial soul is not of particularly high quality compared to the Silver Moon martial soul, it will definitely raise his potential.

However, because he did not cultivate a second martial soul, his cultivation level remained at the level of a Title Douluo of level ninety-four, and he was unable to advance to the level of a Super Douluo.

If he uses a soul tool, he will have the full combat power of a Super Douluo. When facing a true Super Douluo, he might only have a slight flaw in terms of aura.

However, the powerful level nine energy-gathering soul-guided cannon, Silver Moon Annihilation, is enough to make up for this.

In their Sun Moon Empire, only Jing Hongchen, Kong Deming, and Ye Yulin possessed the combat power of a Super Douluo through their soul tools.

Each of these three possessed a level-nine energy-gathering soul-guided cannon, specially crafted with decades of painstaking effort.

Kong Deming has made remarkable achievements in the research of level 10 soul tools.

"Master Hongchen, at least with our teaching staff, we can guarantee that Yuhao will receive effective guidance before he becomes a Title Douluo."

"After becoming a Title Douluo, Yuhao is already a pillar capable of supporting the nation. If he wants to advance further, his own enlightenment will be more important, and we will simply provide him with sufficient resources."

After listening to what Master Kong said, Jing Hongchen felt much more at ease.

Kong Deming, as the pillar of the Sun Moon Empire, was sought out by Jing Hongchen with the hope that he could provide guidance and direction.

In fact, within the Sun Moon Empire, there was someone whose mastery of martial spirits had reached its pinnacle, making him one of the top figures in the entire Douluo Continent.

That was the Holy Spirit Cult, Ye Xishui…

However, the nature of her stance was something that the academy absolutely could not touch, and both Mu En and Long Xiaoyao were caught in her trap.

It's easy to imagine how much of a jerk Ye Xishui is.

"Master Hongchen, your excessive worrying now will only lead to internal strife. Take the first step and nurture that child Yuhao!"

Kong Deming stood up from the armchair and laughed heartily, "Haha, such a talented child, as long as we protect him and ensure his safe growth, will surely become a pillar of strength and a beam of support for the world."

Then he looked at Jing Hongchen and said with a half-smile.

"Master Hongchen, if you really lack confidence, you can send Yuhao to my Hall of Worship. We, the elders, can also train him to become a pillar of the nation."

Jing Hongchen quickly waved his hand with a smile: "Elder Kong is joking. Actually, I have been thinking about this for a long time in order to let Yuhao grow up naturally."

"In Yuhao's life, there are only three types of people who play a crucial and guiding role: teachers, friends, and lovers."

Kong Deming glanced at him sideways: "Oh? Master Hongchen, could you tell me who these three people are?"

For the first time, Jing Hongchen stood tall in the ancestral hall, hands behind his back, adopting his usual air of superiority.

"As for the teacher, he is naturally a level nine soul master from my Mingde Hall, who is currently developing a humanoid soul tool and leading Mingde Hall's scientific research achievements to a new level... that is, me."

"As for friends, we have a male student in our academy who possesses the Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul. He is exceptionally talented and we could consider him."

"As for my lover, I have a granddaughter who is excellent in both talent and appearance. Moreover, her martial soul is the same as Yuhao's second martial soul, possessing both ice and fire attributes. The compatibility is quite high, and she is capable of taking on this role."

Kong Deming: "..."
