Douluo Continent: I can overdraft the future in advance

Luo Yun walked in front, turned two streets, and stopped in front of a restaurant.

Luo Yun directly requested a private room on the second floor. The four of them sat down, and the waiter brought over a teapot. Luo Yun took the menu, quickly ordered five or six dishes, and added a soup, before returning the menu to the waiter.

The food was served very quickly.

Halfway through the meal, the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside.

"So you guys are really something, eating all that food behind my back!"

Xu Sanshi strode in, a smile still on his lips. He glanced at the table, pulled up a chair without a word, sat down, picked up an extra chopstick, and stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth.

"Who notified you?" Beibei tapped his hand with her chopsticks.

"Did I need to notify you? I came right after smelling it." Xu Sanshi mumbled through his chewing meat, then picked up another piece with his chopsticks. "Is Luo Yun treating? He didn't invite me? That's so unfair."

Luo Yun leaned back in her chair and glanced at him: "You didn't even tell me you were coming back."

"I just got back." Xu Sanshi swallowed the meat in his mouth in a few bites, picked up his teacup and took a sip. His gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, and he looked him up and down. "And this is?"

Bei Bei nodded and patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder: "Huo Yuhao, a freshman who just enrolled this year, will be our Tang Sect's junior brother. Yuhao, this is Xu Sanshi, a fifth-year senior, known as the strongest defender in the outer academy."

Xu Sanshi extended his hand, grinning, "Hello, hello."

Huo Yuhao quickly put down his chopsticks and shook Xu Sanshi's hand: "Hello, Senior Xu."

As Luo Yun watched Xu Sanshi and Huo Yuhao shake hands, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

In the original novel, Huo Yuhao and Xu Sanshi first met on the street. A grilled fish attracted Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi, and the two had a minor argument over the fish. Later, after Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi's duel, Bei Bei compensated Huo Yuhao with a Xuan Shui Pill.

Now that that incident is gone, the Xuan Shui Dan is probably unavailable.

However, he thought again that Huo Yuhao went to the Martial Soul Department in the original story, but now he had persuaded Huo Yuhao to go to the Soul Guidance Department. The resources of the Soul Guidance Department were no worse than those of the Martial Soul Department, and there would be no shortage of various pills to improve one's foundation.

Well, everyone has their own destiny.

After finishing their meal, they entered Shrek Academy. Bei Bei and the other two said goodbye and headed towards the Martial Soul Department.

Luo Yun glanced at Huo Yuhao beside him.

"Come on, I'll take you to the Soul Guidance Department."

The teaching building of the Soul Guidance Department is located on the east side of the academy, and is a group of gray and white buildings.

Luo Yun led Huo Yuhao through the corridor to the innermost studio and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Pushing open the door, I saw Fan Yu sitting at his workbench, a carving knife in his hand, and a half-finished magic array base plate in front of him. He was wearing the uniform of a Soul Guidance Department instructor, a gray robe with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing his muscular forearms. He looked up, his gaze shifting from the base plate, pausing briefly on Luo Yun, before settling on Huo Yuhao.

"Luo Yun? What brings you here? And who is this—"

"Teacher, I've brought you a promising student." Luo Yun walked in, pulled up a chair, sat down, and pointed to Huo Yuhao. "Huo Yuhao is a freshman who just enrolled this year. His martial soul is the Spirit Eye, a spirit-type soul master."

Fan Yu paused for a moment while carving with her knife.

Luo Yun winked at Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, show off your soul skill and let Teacher Fanyu experience it."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and activated his first spirit ring, unleashing an invisible spiritual detection field centered on him.

Fan Yu didn't move. He sat in the chair, closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then opened his eyes, looked at Huo Yuhao, and frowned slightly.

"The soul skill's effect is excellent, but the range is a bit small; it should only be thirty meters?"

Huo Yuhao's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Teacher Fanyu, my soul skill can evolve. On the way back these past few days, I've expanded its range by almost a meter through training, and it will get even bigger in the future."

The studio fell silent for a few moments. Fan Yu looked at Huo Yuhao, her gaze changing, as if she were deep in thought.

"Teacher, haven't you always wanted to do research on that mental-type Soul Master?" Luo Yun's voice wasn't loud, but it reminded Fan Yu at just the right moment. "Moreover, the most amazing thing about the Soul Skill of Sharing Mental Detection isn't just its use as radar on the battlefield—it's its use in Soul Tool creation. With this kind of mental power combined with Mental Detection, I guarantee that Junior Brother Yuhao's talent for Soul Tools is absolutely one in a million."

He looked at Fan Yu, a slight smile playing on his lips: "If you don't believe me, I'll go and invite Dean Xian Lin'er over right now, so she can see for herself whether this child is worth nurturing."

Fan Yu glared at him: "Don't try to intimidate me with the dean's name."

He put down the carving knife, crossed his hands on the table, looked at Huo Yuhao, and remained silent for a moment.

"I'll take this child."

He paused, then looked at Luo Yun: "But let me make this clear from the start, the Soul Guidance Department is not the same as the Martial Soul Department, and I don't support idlers here. No matter how good your talent is, it's all for nothing if you don't work hard."

Huo Yuhao quickly stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Teacher Fan Yu!"

Luo Yun nodded: "By the way, teacher, let me add something. You've noticed, haven't you? This child's constitution is rather weak. But I'm certain that his poor foundation isn't due to a lack of talent, but rather to insufficient nutrition. I'll need your help in the future."

After chatting with him for a few minutes, Fan Yu asked him to take Huo Yuhao to the dormitory.

Luo Yun led Huo Yuhao out of the studio.

It was getting dark. As they approached the East Campus dormitory building, Huo Yuhao suddenly spoke.

"Senior Luo Yun."

"Um?"

"Thank you." His voice wasn't loud, but it was very earnest. "Thank you for treating me to dinner, thank you for persuading me to go to the Soul Guidance Department, thank you for recommending me to Teacher Fan Yu... I don't have much money now, but I will definitely repay you in the future."

Luo Yun glanced at him and said slowly, "You don't need to think about repaying me. What I value is your talent. The Spirit Detection Sharing Soul Skill is something that any Soul Master would dream of. If you go to the Martial Soul Department and are subjected to two years of physical training by those teachers from the outer academy, which could injure your body and hinder your Soul Master talent, I just can't stand to see such a waste of talent."

He paused, his tone softening slightly, "Besides, although I'm mainly a Martial Soul Department disciple now, I'm also half a Soul Guidance Department disciple. It's only right that I treat my future junior brother well."

Huo Yuhao gripped the small porcelain bottle tightly, his knuckles turning white. His lips moved, but he only managed to utter two words: "Senior..."

Luo Yun waved his hand, stopping him from continuing.

The two walked down to the dormitory building.

"You live on the fourth floor, 403." Luo Yun took the key from the building manager and handed it to Huo Yuhao. "I live in the south area, 207. If you need anything, go downstairs and walk south. It's just two intersections away."

Huo Yuhao took the keys and nodded.

Luo Yun watched him go upstairs and close the door before turning around and walking back.

When they returned to 207, Chen Jiyong was already back, lying on the bed reading an encyclopedia about earth-attribute spirit beasts, muttering to himself. Hearing the door open, he looked up, smiled at Luo Yun, and then went back to studying his third spirit ring target.

Wang Dong.

According to the original timeline, Wang Dong should arrive tomorrow.

Now that Huo Yuhao has been lured to the Soul Guidance Department by him, if nothing unexpected happens, Wang Dong will still be "allergic" to soul tools. In the future, one of them will be in the Soul Guidance Department teaching building and the other in the Martial Soul Department teaching building, so they won't even have many chances to meet.

"I'll go check out the registration office tomorrow," Luo Yun muttered to himself.
