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

How about Chapter 88?

three days later.

"Student Huo, I've said so much because I hope you can receive better training. Your original martial soul has always been..."

On the corridor leading to the dean's office, Huo Yuhao listened to Du Weilun's incessant chatter with a faint smile on his face. No matter how earnestly the other party tried to persuade him, he did not show the slightest interest.

Keep in mind that Gu Yuena was by his side, and in terms of performance, she was much better than him. However, Du Weilun was uncharacteristically focused on persuading him from the moment he started leading the way, ignoring Gu Yuena.

They seemed to value him more, but they didn't mention anything about the benefits of joining the Martial Soul system.

If it were an ordinary freshman, after listening to the dean of students' rambling, they would probably be so excited that they would want to give their lives for the Martial Soul Department on the spot, even swearing to donate their heart or something.

But how could Huo Yuhao not guess the other party's little scheme?

The purpose of the next meeting was to recruit people by leveraging resources. The reason they didn't try to fool Gu Yuena was simply because they were confident that Gu Yuena would not refuse the conditions they offered and would definitely join the Martial Soul system.

As for myself, I'm probably the type who'll try my best to get what I want verbally, but if people don't appreciate it, then I'll just let it go.

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. He really couldn't hold back. In his previous life, he only had a white soul ring and his entrance level was not up to standard, so it was understandable that he was not valued by the other party.

Unexpectedly, even though he had already entered the school with a thousand-year soul ring and was a Great Soul Master, his opponent was still like this.

Since that's the case, there's nothing more to discuss.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao turned his head and looked at Gu Yuena beside him, asking softly.

"Which side do you want to go to?"

Seemingly surprised that Huo Yuhao would ask such an obvious question, Gu Yuena blinked her purple eyes.

"Wherever you go, I'll go."

Upon hearing this, Du Weiren, who was walking in front, suddenly shuddered and stopped speaking abruptly.

Recalling how inseparable the two had been during this time, a terrifying thought that sent chills down Du Weiren's spine suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that these two are paired up?

But he immediately dismissed the idea.

No, that's impossible.

In order to win over Gu Yuena and Tang San, the conditions offered by the Martial Soul Department this time will be unprecedented, and he doesn't think any student will be able to refuse after hearing them.

Besides, it's not like we can't see each other every day even though we're in different departments. He understands that young couples want to be together 24/7, but no one would risk their future...

Despite trying to reassure himself, Duvelen became increasingly anxious the more he thought about it.

It's too peaceful.

Gu Yuena spoke those words with such calmness that it seemed she didn't care at all, no matter how favorable the conditions were.

He really didn't dare to gamble!

If the other party actually does such a thing, all the hard work the dean has put into his plan will be for naught.

As he was thinking, Du Weiren subconsciously glanced back and happened to see Gu Yuena taking Huo Yuhao's hand and gently squeezing it.

!!!

Dean, our Martial Soul Department might really be doomed this time.

No.

Calm down, calm down. We haven't even entered the office yet, there's still a chance to salvage the situation, there's still a chance.

...I remember the school rules said that dating was not allowed in the college, right?

"Director Du, what's wrong?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's slightly concerned words, Du Weilun, who had just come to his senses, looked at the handsome face that was slightly covered by long black hair and suddenly forced out a smile that was more like a grimace.

"Oh, no, it's nothing."

After waving his hand somewhat hastily, Du Weilin seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead.

"Oh dear, look at my memory! I suddenly remember, the dean told me this morning that he had some business to attend to and wouldn't be in his office. Why don't you two come to my office for some tea and wait a bit?"

"……Yeah?"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow with a half-smile, then turned his head to look behind Du Weilun at the dean's office, which was currently locked.

"Yes, yes."

Du Weilun nodded vigorously, subtly shifting his body to block the office doorway as he wiped the cold sweat from his brow and awkwardly began to speak.

"Look, the office doors are all closed. Besides, as the head of student affairs, would I lie to you?"

After saying that, Du Weiren spoke again, feigning seriousness.

"You might not know this, but trespassing into the dean's office can be serious enough to result in expulsion. Since the dean isn't here, we can't just go in. Let's go to my office."

However, before he could finish speaking, Xian Lin'er's voice, tinged with a hint of questioning, rang out from the office behind the door, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Yan Shaozhe, didn't your dean of students send someone over? Why does it take so long to walk such a short distance from here to the freshman building? Are they secretly up to something along the way?!"

Then Yan Shaozhe's slightly embarrassed voice rang out again.

"Ahem, what are you saying? We're old friends, and I, Yan Shaozhe, still have that much credibility."

"Do you still have any credibility with me?"

Xian Lin'er seemed to chuckle, her voice rising a few decibels: "I can tell from your expression that you're hiding something. If you don't come soon, I'll go pick them up myself."

"Hey, hey, hey, you're just a little late, why are you so agitated? The others are probably already at the door, let me go check."

As the words fell, footsteps approached from afar, walking unhurriedly toward the gate.

However, the scene outside the door was quite the opposite. Under Huo Yuhao's increasingly strange gaze, Du Weilun's face quickly turned red, as if he were constipated.

Click.

The crisp sound clearly reached Duvelen's ears, as if the rope of the guillotine hanging around his neck had been cut.

"."

As the door was pushed open from the inside, Yan Shaozhe's eyes lit up when he saw the three of them.

"You two are here, welcome, welcome. Old Du, why are you standing at the door? Let them in quickly."

Unaware of Du Weilen's expression, which seemed as if he had just experienced the end of the world, Yan Shaozhe stepped aside to make way for him, then subconsciously turned his head and smiled smugly into the office.

"See? I told you they were at the door!"

"Thank you, Dean Yan."

Faced with Yan Shaozhe's invitation, Huo Yuhao first gave Du Weilun a meaningful look, then smiled and thanked him before pulling Gu Yuena into the legendary office of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department.

When Yan Shaozhe saw the two holding hands, his eyes flickered slightly, but he ultimately said nothing.

The office didn't look luxurious; in fact, it looked a bit dated. Apart from a desk piled high with documents and a row of storage cabinets, there were only a few sofas that looked like they were for entertaining guests.

Besides Xian Lin'er, whose voice Huo Yuhao had already heard, there was another unexpected figure sitting quietly on the sofa.

Tang San.

Compared to his hysteria when they last met, Tang San was noticeably calmer now that he saw him again.

Their eyes met for a moment, then he calmly looked away as if they were strangers.

However, no matter how well Tang San concealed it, the fleeting killing intent in his eyes and the ever-growing source of rage in Huo Yuhao's mental space still betrayed his true feelings at this moment.

After smiling and nodding at Xian Lin'er, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena had just sat down on the sofa when Bingdi's clear voice rang out in their mental space.

"Yuhao, it seems like this source of jealousy is about to be unlocked."

Upon hearing Bingdi's reminder, Huo Yuhao subconsciously turned his attention to the mental space, where he saw Tianmeng and Bingdi surrounding the light orb that had mostly turned dark pink.

Thanks to Gu Yuena's constant presence and Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan's occasional visits, Huo Yuhao's acquisition of the Sin of Jealousy has skyrocketed in the days since he arrived at Shrek Academy.

In addition, those who can appear at Shrek Academy are all Soul Masters. Although the outer academy students are not highly skilled, their numbers are overwhelming.

If it weren't for the fact that many people had witnessed his battle of spirits with Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao would probably have already fully unlocked his jealousy by now.

"I wonder what abilities jealousy can provide."

Looking at the pink ball of light so close to him, Tianmeng blinked his little golden eyes twice and muttered softly.

After such a long time, he has clearly adapted to the effects of being close to the source of original sin, and no longer has to hide far away from these sources of original sin as he did when he first entered Huo Yuhao's body.

Ice Emperor then looked at Huo Yuhao and asked softly.

"Won't unlocking it like this have any impact on you, Yuhao?"

"Don't worry, at least these three won't have much of an impact, and you just need to be careful afterward."

Thanks to Huo Yuhao's premonition at the time, he always maintained a natural attitude in unlocking the original sin source and did not pursue it excessively, so he unlocked three in a row without any problems.

Of the remaining four original sins, the one that is being unlocked the fastest is Envy, followed by Lust, while Wrath and Sloth are still in their very early stages.

However, having unlocked three of them and spent so much time in contact with them, Huo Yuhao has made some new discoveries about these original sin sources.

Simply put, if the host's personality is inherently arrogant, then the impact of facing the source of arrogance will be even stronger.

This influence is not insurmountable; it's just that it's more difficult for naturally arrogant people to resist the effects of their inherent arrogance, and it requires more effort.

This characteristic also applies to the other original sins.

Fortunately, there was nothing he needed to pay special attention to in this regard.

Not to mention the three that have already been unlocked, the upcoming envy, sloth, and wrath should not have much of an impact on him either.

The only thing Huo Yuhao wasn't sure about was the source of lust.

Am I a pervert?
