Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, they all have ulterior motives.

Chapter 131 Is this the pre-selection of the Sea God Pavilion Master?

Golden scales, distinctive vertical pupils, and the throbbing sensation emanating from his Azure Flame Dragon Martial Soul.

Everything proves the authenticity of the martial spirit information recorded in the registration materials.

If Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena have unimaginable potential, then Qiu'er has already transformed that potential into a completely predictable future.

Golden Dragon!

In terms of bloodline, it even surpasses the pure-blooded dragon martial soul of Elder Mu's Bright Holy Dragon.

In addition, their soul ring configuration is far superior to Elder Mu's, meaning that all they need to do is send someone to help hunt down 100,000-year-old soul beasts when Qiu'er needs to acquire soul rings, and they can cultivate a genius who surpasses Elder Mu.

Am I still dreaming?

After a moment of inward self-mockery, Xian Lin'er cleared her throat and got straight to the point.

"Then let's talk about compensation. Not just Qiu'er, but also you, Yuhao. The compensation we agreed on before will remain the same, but we'll add some things."

Huo Yuhao was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but he did not rush to ask any questions and waited quietly for Xian Lin'er to continue.

"I'm pretty straightforward, so I won't beat around the bush with you. I thought I had high expectations for you and Gu Yuena, but after seeing Qiu'er, I realize I may have underestimated your talent."

"Qiu'er, if your situation is not accidental, and you can still absorb a 100,000-year soul ring with your seventh or eighth soul ring, then what you need most is to be selective and not accept inferior ones. The condition I am giving you is to help you as much as possible in this process."

At this point, Xian Lin'er paused for a moment, then spoke earnestly.

"To put it simply, I hope that Qiu'er, you will not waste this talent in the future by choosing a soul ring that is less than 100,000 years old. I don't know how you got that 100,000-year soul ring, and I don't intend to investigate it. But if you are unable to hunt 100,000-year soul beasts in the future, you can tell me directly."

"Yuhao, the same applies to you and Gu Yuena. As long as you can absorb 100,000-year spirit rings, but you are unable to hunt, the academy will do its best to help you equip the remaining slots with 100,000-year spirit rings."

"I believe you have already heard that, Yuhao, although I am the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, the Sea God Pavilion in the inner courtyard is the strongest organization that controls the entire academy."

"From the moment Qiu'er revealed her Golden Dragon Martial Soul and her 100,000-year sixth Soul Ring, you were no longer someone my Soul Guidance Department could cultivate on your own. Because you already possess the potential to surpass the current Sea God Pavilion Master, you will be cultivated as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master. When it comes to hunting Soul Rings, I will ask the elders of the Sea God Pavilion to help, and they will definitely not refuse."

She was being conservative in her statement.

Let alone not being able to refuse, when Qiu'er really needs a spirit ring, she probably won't even need to ask. Those elders of the Sea God Pavilion will shout the glory of Shrek Academy and risk their lives to hunt for a 100,000-year spirit ring for Qiu'er.

We have no choice but to give it our all!

In the past, people might not have been so anxious, since even if Elder Mu had passed away, Elder Xuan, who was at level 98, could have stabilized Shrek Academy.

But the old man's frequent relapses in recent years have really alarmed them, forcing them to make other plans.

The previous Star Dou Great Forest incident was one thing, but I heard that Elder Xuan took Tang San, who had a martial soul, to the Star Dou Great Forest a month ago, and the two of them fled back like dogs in just two or three days.

Not only was he seriously injured, but it also seemed that Tang San was left with very serious aftereffects, which made Yan Shaozhe extremely anxious.

As for what happened next, she didn't pay much attention. She only heard that Yan Shaozhe took Tang San out for a trip. Although the aftereffects were mostly cured through folk remedies after they returned, Tang San was seriously injured again and is still lying in bed.

Two such egregious incidents have occurred in just a few years. Although people don't say it aloud, they have long begun to question Elder Xuan's abilities.

Just bringing people along can cause so much trouble; what would happen if they became the head of the Sea God Pavilion?!

But despite the doubts, all they can do under these circumstances is to cultivate geniuses capable of taking on the mantle as quickly as possible.

After all, the sooner they are trained, the sooner they can replace Elder Xuan from the position of Pavilion Master.

Initially, they chose Zhang Lexuan as their candidate.

To be honest, although Zhang Lexuan has good talent, her Moon Martial Soul is still somewhat inferior to that of Elder Mu and Elder Xuan.

This means that it is far from enough for Zhang Lexuan to become a Title Douluo or Super Douluo. She needs to reach at least level 98, or even become a level 99 Limit Douluo like Elder Mu, to have the strength to intimidate all forces.

Of course, given Zhang Lexuan's talent, it's not impossible for her to become a Limit Douluo, but how long would that take?

Take Elder Xuan as an example. As Shrek Academy's former number one genius, he has been stuck at level 99 for who knows how long.

Putting aside whether Zhang Lexuan's talent is stronger than Elder Xuan's, even if it is stronger, how much stronger could it be?

If we give her forty years from now, can she reach her limit?

You should know that Yan Shaozhe is over ninety years old and he is only level ninety-five. Without special opportunities, it would be extremely difficult to become a Limit Douluo in such a short time, let alone reach level ninety-eight.

Moreover, even if it's forty years, Elder Mu certainly won't last that long. In the meantime, Elder Xuan will succeed as the Sea God Pavilion Master for a long period of time. Who knows what Shrek Academy will become under this guy's leadership?

But now, Qiu'er's appearance has given her and the other elders of the Sea God Pavilion another option.

Although Qiu'er's soul power level is only level 66, it seems there is a considerable gap between her and Zhang Lexuan, who is already level 84.

However, strength is something that needs to be considered from many factors, and it's not just about who has the higher cultivation level.

With four 100,000-year soul rings and the ultimate power of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, Qiu'er doesn't even need to reach level 95. Just by becoming a Title Douluo, her strength is conservatively estimated to be comparable to Xuan Lao, who is at level 98.

In contrast, Zhang Lexuan, who possesses the Moon Martial Soul, would likely need to reach a Soul Power level of 98 to achieve the same strength.

Levels 66 to 90 are clearly easier than levels 84 to 98.

Moreover, Qiu'er is only seventeen years old and already at level sixty-six. With this talent alone, she might be able to become a Title Douluo before Elder Mu passes away, and it's not impossible that she could directly surpass Elder Xuan and take over as the head of the Sea God Pavilion!

As for Qiu'er's background and personality, it's still quite a while before she becomes a Title Douluo, so we might find out in time.

She didn't forget Qiu'er either; she also didn't forget Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.

Both of them started with a thousand-year soul ring, and no one knows whether they will replicate Qiu'er's success with a 100,000-year soul ring as her sixth soul ring.

But just imagining that scene in her mind made her scalp tingle.

Keep in mind that these three all graduated from her Soul Guidance Department!

Even if she joins the Sea God Pavilion in the future, they will definitely favor her Soul Guidance Department.

With these thoughts in mind, Xian Lin'er became increasingly excited, and she found Huo Yuhao more and more pleasing to the eye.

I thought buying Huo Yuhao and giving away Gu Yuena was already a windfall, but unexpectedly another one came along!

This kid, he's got a handsome face for nothing!

If I had been born a few decades later, I might have been chasing after this guy too, right?

Under Xian Lin'er's blatant gaze, Huo Yuhao felt a cold sweat break out on his back. He subconsciously exchanged a glance with Qiu'er beside him, and both of them noticed the strange look in each other's eyes.

Based on Xian Lin'er's words, Huo Yuhao had already roughly guessed her thoughts.

Judging from the conditions given, Xianlin'er is indeed very concerned about their future plans, but unfortunately, the 100,000-year soul ring is not very attractive to them.

Putting aside the many immortal herbs in the realm of the dead, just considering Qiu'er's status as an imperial auspicious beast, if she wanted a 100,000-year soul ring, combined with Huo Yuhao's soul contract effect, not only would the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest line up to give it to her, but she could at least get whatever she wanted.

Of course, although he had no shortage of 100,000-year soul rings, Huo Yuhao was very interested in the meaning behind Xian Lin'er's words.

Judging from what Xian Lin'er said, the Sea God Pavilion seems to be eager to cultivate a Sea God Pavilion Master who can stand alone.

Although the specific reason is unknown, this does not prevent Huo Yuhao from achieving his goal through this matter.

—Founded the Spirit Pagoda.

It's not impossible for Huo Yuhao to build a force that can influence the entire continent from scratch, but he doesn't have that much time to waste on such things. Therefore, it's essential to seek help from other forces in this process.

Shrek City is located on the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. In addition to having a unique geographical advantage in establishing the Spirit Pagoda nearby, it can also leverage the reputation of Shrek Academy to promote Soul Contracts in human society.

Most importantly, if things continue to develop like this, Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion will be filled with people he knows in just a few years, something that the Douluo Three Kingdoms, which are controlled by the royal family, cannot match.

First of all, there's Qiu'er. Judging from Xian Lin'er's attitude, once she enters the inner courtyard, she'll probably have a place in the Sea God Pavilion in no time.

Then there's Sister Le Xuan, who has already joined the Sea God Pavilion and has been groomed as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master.

And in his previous life, after he ascended to the God Realm, he became the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, which was considered as having reserved a seat in the Sea God Pavilion.

In addition, there are geniuses like Xiao Xiao who are exceptionally talented, have a good relationship with him, and have no power of their own, so they are very likely to join the Sea God Pavilion in the future.

In their previous lives, these people might have needed quite a while to reach the point of joining the Sea God Pavilion, but in this life, with his help, they truly have a chance to surpass Elder Xuan and become the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion, taking control of Shrek Academy.

Regardless of which of them ultimately becomes the leader of the Sea God Pavilion, their strong bond will provide Huo Yuhao with tremendous convenience in establishing the Spirit Pagoda.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Only now did he belatedly realize that in just one year, his network of connections at Shrek Academy had reached such an exaggerated level.

As Qiu'er walked out of the Soul Guidance Teaching Building, it seemed that she had been holding back for a long time and finally couldn't help but complain.

"What's this? I just started as an undercover agent, and suddenly I'm going to be promoted to boss?"

"It's still early. We'll have to wait until you become a Title Douluo."

Huo Yuhao's face twitched, and he was in a very good mood.

Originally, I just wanted Qiu'er to give Dai Yueheng some training in the inner courtyard, but who would have thought there would be such an unexpected surprise.

Shrek Academy is Shrek Academy after all. With such a large foundation here, and now that the opportunity is right in front of them, they will naturally take advantage of it. As for Elder Xuan and the others, they will not be a problem after the Sea God Pavilion undergoes a major reshuffle.

"Alright, the registration is complete. You can go to the inner courtyard now; I should go too..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Qiu'er interrupted him.

"Aren't you going to practice your skills?"

"……what?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head. He saw Qiu'er looking straight ahead, as if she was patiently coaxing a little lamb into her trap, and she explained in a serious tone.

"I've been traveling these past few days and haven't had a chance to cultivate at night."

...Are you trying to cultivate?

Hearing this suggestive and enthusiastic invitation, Huo Yuhao's throat bobbed slightly, and he subconsciously looked up at the sky.

Is it really appropriate to engage in such lewd behavior in broad daylight?

"I... I still need to register..."

"It's only morning now, you can practice until the afternoon and then register."

At this point, Qiu'er paused, then glanced at him sideways with a hint of flirtatiousness.

"I've heard that inner court disciples all have their own dormitories. In your previous life, you lived in the Sea God Pavilion and never had the chance to see them. Don't you want to come with me and take a look?"

Seemingly not expecting that Qiu'er, who was usually aloof and proud, would reveal such a charming and alluring demeanor, Huo Yuhao's words of refusal immediately stuck in his throat.

After a brief hesitation, under the direct gaze of Qiu'er's bright golden eyes, he nodded as if possessed.

"Let's go take a look then..."
