Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 73 Dream, did you two sleep together last night?

A soft rustling sound filled Huo Yuhao's bedroom, leaving only the faint sound of two breaths.

Unbeknownst to her, the bow tied in Miss Meng's silver-white hair accidentally fell next to two pairs of boots, one blue and one white. The blue ones are not worth mentioning, but the silver-white high-heeled crystal ankle boots looked exquisite.

A pale white quilt was spread out and covered the bed. Because it was a single bedroom bed, it wasn't wide. In addition, their feelings had reached this point, and when their emotions were at their peak, Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen lay very close together on the bed.

……

"Shh... Yuhao, don't move, or I'll really do it."

"I didn't move, Sister Meng."

"You...you're breathing. Your breath is so cool, it's making my chest itch a little," Meng Hongchen said softly, her face flushed.

Huo Yuhao: "..."

"Huh? Yuhao, why did you seem a little too skilled when you kissed me just now?"

Meng Hongchen seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised her eyes, her tone full of serious inquiry.

"This is my sister's first kiss... You weren't tricked by other girls before, so you only have kissing experience now, were you?"

As Meng Hongchen spoke, a hint of resentment, as if saying, "You've wronged your sister," appeared on her pretty face.

Holding Huo Yuhao, she shifted slightly to make herself and Yuhao more comfortable: "Yuhao, tell me the truth."

Huo Yuhao's hand, which was gently stroking her smooth back, suddenly stopped, and he immediately said:

"No, absolutely not. Sister Meng, that was my first kiss too." His tone was firm.

"Then... what's your experience with kissing?" Miss Meng asked Huo Yuhao where he learned his kissing skills.

"Uh... haha, maybe guys just naturally do that kind of thing," Huo Yuhao said with a laugh.

"Oh, that's true."

"Yes, Sister Meng, you're the first one."

Meng Hongchen's tone became cute: "Then Yuhao, tell me you like me, and make me happy."

Huo Yuhao pursed his lips and said softly, half-jokingly, "You like me."

Meng Hongchen blinked, thinking the meaning was similar, and said happily, "Yuhao, you like your older sister too."

……

The moonlight outside the window was serene and peaceful. Inside the bedroom, Miss Meng and Huo Yuhao were enjoying a sweet and tender moment, their soft, hushed conversation faintly audible, creating a serene and warm atmosphere.

Mingde Hall, a bedroom decorated with various small metal figurines, has a rather tasteful atmosphere.

Xiao Hongchen was engrossed in reading the 67th volume of "The Female Tenant of the Sixth Ring Soul Emperor - Pure Love Edition".

For some reason, he suddenly scratched his head.

"Huh? Why do I feel like a certain bond has deepened..."

He immediately thought of his sister and Yuhao, but he had already accepted their relationship as a couple, and Xiao Hongchen trusted Huo Yuhao's character and believed that he would not do anything outrageous.

So Xiao Hongchen didn't worry about it and continued reading his pure love comic: "After finishing this volume, I'll practice engraving the level 5 core magic array a few times before going to sleep."

Xiao Hongchen felt more and more that it was such a wonderful thing for Huo Yuhao to be his brother-in-law.

First, Huo Yuhao himself brought happiness to his sister; second, Huo Yuhao's soul skills brought him happiness.

There's simply nothing more wonderful than this experience.

Mingde Hall, the main meeting hall.

Lin Jiayi was reporting to Jing Hongchen about some things related to this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

"Master, this year's regular team members are all promoted from the reserve team last year, so the list has been confirmed. The seven members are: Ma Rulong, Chen Fei, Chen An, Mi Jia, Lin Xi, Xiao Xiafeng, and Li Yan."

Jing Hongchen nodded: "I heard Xiao mention this student named Li Yan. He has a flame martial soul just like Yu Hao."

"Tell me with a smile that you were planning to arrange a meeting between Li Yan and Huo Yuhao, hoping they might have some common topics to discuss. How did the meeting go?"

Lin Jiayi thought for a moment and considered the words that Xuan Ziwen had relayed to him that afternoon.

"Actually, Yuhao and Liyan had some discussions about fusing their flame martial souls with one or two other flames."

"As for the result, it's nothing much, it just inspired Li Yan's fighting spirit."

"What was he saying? Back when I participated in the last competition as a reserve member... some Soul Masters said that my Blazing Fire Martial Soul was just a useless fire with too many impurities. They mocked and insulted me. One day, after I fuse with one or two flames to remove the impurities, I will definitely make those Soul Masters regret it and never be able to reach my level!"

Overall, having witnessed Huo Yuhao conjure two kinds of flames with his own eyes, Li Yan is now in high spirits.

Jing Hongchen chuckled: "Li Yan is, after all, a student with considerable talent in the academy. It's not bad that he has such ambition."

Lin Jiayi pondered for a moment and then asked, "Master, since we no longer need to consider the regular team members, do we need to select student candidates for the reserve team members?"

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen have already been decided internally, but there are still five spots available.

Because the Hongchen siblings are so outstanding, their individual strength surpasses that of the regular team members, and the two siblings working together can even defeat the captain, Ma Rulong.

Therefore, if other reserve team members were selected to form a team with Hongchen and his sister, the gap would be too large.

Jing Hongchen laughed heartily: "Originally, I didn't plan to select any other reserve team members."

"But unexpectedly, we have welcomed a student with such outstanding talent as Yuhao. Therefore, I have changed my mind and will organize a small selection competition to choose from them."

In the original story, besides the Hongchen siblings, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also had other talented individuals who were still undiscovered.

After all, in the second competition, a total of seven students participated, including the Hongchen siblings, and some of them showed impressive skills.

Lin Jiayi asked uncertainly, "As for Yuhao, will he be directly selected as a preliminary team member, or will he be allowed to participate in the selection process?"

"Is there even a question?"

Jing Hongchen glanced at him: "Just like Xiao Hemeng, he's directly designated as a reserve member. The selection competition is just a formality. Do you really think Yuhao can't pass the selection?"

Lin Jiayi nodded to indicate that he understood, but a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

"Dean, we have always focused on cultivating fifth and sixth grade students, so we may not be able to find good talents in the lower grades."

Jing Hongchen waved his hand: "If we use laughter and dreams as a reference, we definitely won't be able to choose."

"We should conduct a relative selection process. Among all students under the age of fifteen, besides Xiao, Meng, and Yuhao, we should select the four students with the best overall abilities."

Although Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were nominally reserve members in the original work, they were always the main force in the team.

Often, they are used as regular players, and when they encounter strong Shrek Academy players, they can directly replace the regular players to enter the game.

To be honest, the Hongchen siblings' talents are indeed ridiculously strong. At less than fifteen years old, they are level five Soul Masters and level fifty-something Soul Kings.

Such talent is enough to make one stand out among the top geniuses of Shrek Academy.

Jing Hongchen said gently, "Jiayi, you don't need to worry too much. With Xiao, Meng, and Yuhao, these three kids are enough to support the whole team."

"Sometimes I wonder if it's because of my recent burst of power that I've been able to bring forth a child like Yuhao, who has such extraordinary talent."

Faced with the hall master's boasting, Lin Jiayi was taken aback: "Hall master, wasn't Yuhao brought back by Xu Sheng and Xuan Ziwen?"

Jing Hongchen chuckled: "Let's not even mention that they were originally researchers from my Mingde Hall."

"It was I who led Xu Sheng to hunt down the soul ring of the Three-Soul Ghost Mantis. Only then did they meet Yuhao. Being able to make Yuhao feel at ease living in my Mingde Hall is almost a testament to my personal charisma."

Lin Jiayi: Are you sure it's not because of your granddaughter's charm?

……

The next morning, Xiao Hongchen was in the corridor outside Huo Yuhao's room, preparing to have breakfast with Meng and Yuhao.

Before long, Xiao Hongchen was stunned to see Huo Yuhao and his sister walking out of the room together, their faces rosy and full of energy.

"Yuhao, Meng, were you two together all night?"

Meng Hongchen seemed to be in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Last night, Yuhao had a little trouble taking the Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue, so I took care of him all night. I didn't do anything, and I was very well-behaved."

When Xiao Hongchen heard his sister say this, he turned to look at Huo Yuhao and found that his aura had indeed improved. His doubts dissipated somewhat.

"Brother Xiao, I understand that you think being too young is bad for your health. Please don't worry about it, Brother Xiao." Huo Yuhao told Xiao Hongchen not to think of him all the time, as if he was always thinking about stealing cabbages whenever he had the chance.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen felt somewhat relieved. Based on his understanding of Huo Yuhao's character, he knew that Huo Yuhao was definitely sensible to say such a thing.

After having breakfast, the three of them arrived at the Soul Guidance Device Trial Grounds.

Jing Hongchen arranged an acclimatization training session for Xiao Hongchen and Huo Yuhao with the regular team members.

Yesterday, Xiao Hongchen also had Li Yan inform Ma Rulong in advance.

Soon, Ma Rulong, a tall and strong man with a short, neat hairstyle, arrived at the Soul Guidance Device Trial Ground with his six team members.

After nodding to Hongchen and his sister, Ma Rulong took the initiative to greet Huo Yuhao: "Hello, my name is Ma Rulong, and I am the captain of the main team for this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament."

Huo Yuhao smiled politely and said, "Hello, Brother Ma, my name is Huo Yuhao."

Then Jing Hongchen walked over cheerfully and talked to the main players about the upcoming friendly match.

Originally, it was supposed to be Xiao Hongchen fighting Ma Rulong alone, with the assistance of Huo Yuhao's mental detection.

Xiao Hongchen looked confident and spoke with great conviction.

"Brother Ma, why don't you bring a team member too? Otherwise, I feel like I'm not under any pressure."

Ma Rulong smiled and said, "This young brother Yuhao is probably not even a Soul Master yet. It's probably a bit unrealistic for you to bring him along to challenge a combination of a Soul Emperor and a Soul King."

He felt that Xiao Hongchen was getting a bit too arrogant, although Ma Rulong didn't want to calculate combat power solely based on the cultivation stats on the bare-bones panel.

However, bringing only one Great Soul Master to challenge two regular team members is a ridiculous idea no matter how you look at it.

Since Xiao Hongchen had brought it up, Ma Rulong naturally agreed. Bringing a teammate would make things easier for him, wouldn't it?

Ma Rulong had a brief discussion with the other team members.

Lin Xi said, "Captain, Xiao Hongchen is so confident today simply because he has Huo Yuhao with him. He is an unknown factor for us."

Chen Fei nodded in agreement: "Count me in. I'm an agility-based Soul Master. I'll go and take down Huo Yuhao as soon as it starts."

"Then, just like before, Captain, you and Xiao Hongchen can focus on the standoff."

Ma Rulong thought Chen Fei's idea was feasible, so he agreed.

Lin Xi and Chen Fei were truly inseparable during their first Soul Master Competition in the original novel.

On the field, the former's invincible shield couldn't withstand Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Roaring Strike and was directly burned into the air by its terrifying high temperature.

The latter happened to be because of Ma Xiaotao. He was only slightly scratched by Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Black Fire, and half of his body was instantly burned away, resulting in a rather cruel death.

After giving the group a few minutes to prepare, Jing Hongchen announced the start of the friendly match.

Huo Yuhao explained the "reverse American-style Iaijutsu" tactic to Xiao Hongchen.

As Xiao Hongchen listened to his story, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, giving him an expression of "how wonderful."

So, once the sparring began, the two released their martial spirits.

The rows of soul-guided cannons that Xiao Hongchen had originally formed on his chest transformed into rows of flying knives under the effect of the simulation.

Chen Fei asked in confusion, "What kind of nonsense is Xiao Hongchen up to? Why not just solidify the Soul Guidance Cannon and instead throw a row of flying knives? What's the point?"

Ma Rulong couldn't understand his baffling actions.

"I don't know, but he probably got cocky and wanted to show off or do some acrobatics."

"I'll handle the front line. You just need to take that junior brother Huo Yuhao off the field. Xiao Hongchen shouldn't actually throw flying knives at us."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dense white light shone from Xiao Hongchen's chest, and a barrage of flying knives flew towards Ma Rulong.

Ma Rulong's lips twitched: "What era are we living in? They're actually using throwing knives now. Isn't that just plain stupid?"

The God of Emotions in the original work: Hey, that's not a pleasant thing to hear. Please rephrase your words. Is there a problem with me using the super artifact Ghost Carving Divine Blade as a throwing knife?

"I'm going to cut off Brother Huo's neck."

Chen Fei rushed over like lightning. His martial spirit was the Flash Bird, which had extremely high movement speed.

Huo Yuhao remained completely calm, and Xiao Hongchen was equally composed.

Seeing Chen Fei rushing towards him, Huo Yuhao took out the Buddha's Fury Lotus version of the bomb gun.

"Senior, who do you want to cut?" Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, loaded the explosive, and with the aid of mental detection, aimed it at Chen Fei's face.
