Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 217 - Wang Dong: Are you relatives?

Meanwhile, after two days of travel, Huo Yuhao and his companions finally arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. ①

The previous seclusion had given all three of them a transformative experience, filling them with the height of their confidence. They came to the Star Dou Great Forest with the excitement of showcasing their skills.

Therefore, after two days of travel, I did not feel tired at all; on the contrary, I was in high spirits and in the best state I had ever been in.

The three of them continued forward, laughing and joking, as the outline of the Star Dou Great Forest gradually came into view.

In the distance, the boundless, dense forest was already visible, and Huo Yuhao saw the warning signs he had seen before once again.

After a brief division of labor, Huo Yuhao had Xiao Xiao walk in the center and slightly forward, while he and Wang Dong stood to her left and right rear, respectively, forming a small triangle.

We've finally arrived at the dense Starry Sky Forest.

The air here was not only fresh but also very humid. As they entered the forest, the three of them immediately felt as if their bodies were being nourished by a special force.

As if it were destiny, Huo Yuhao and his two companions, who were walking forward, soon saw Huo Zhanji walking alone in the Star Dou Forest.

"Wait, there's someone ahead," Huo Yuhao reminded Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao beside him in the shared mental detection state.

Within Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's mental perception, a presence with a distinct and intense soul power fluctuation appeared in the 3D image. It was a slightly blurry human figure that had just entered Huo Yuhao's shared mental detection range.

"Human? Enemy or friend?" Xiao Xiao stopped and glanced at Huo Yuhao.

"It's unclear yet, but his strength isn't high, only around level 30. He's just one person; he poses no threat to us," Huo Yuhao calmly analyzed. Wang Dong, standing beside him, looked puzzled and whispered:

"Why don't we go take a look?"

"..."

The three looked at each other, and finally Huo Yuhao made the decision: "Let's go! The three of us together, how could we be tricked by someone of the same cultivation level!"

On the other side, Huo Zhanji's forehead skin twitched, his eyes flashed, and the first purple halo surrounding his body shone brightly.

Suddenly, his eyes brightened, and everything around him became clear. An invisible spiritual force expanded.

First Soul Skill: Mental Detection. After activation, it allows the user to sense even the slightest fluctuations within a 300-meter radius.

Huo Zhanji's mental detection range is now 100 meters greater than Huo Yuhao's, which means that... Huo Zhanji had already discovered Huo Yuhao and the other two before Huo Yuhao discovered him.

"Ding, main storyline side quest, Opportunity. In your line of sight are Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, three of the current Shrek Seven Devils. Travel with them and hunt for spirit rings together."

"The quest must be accepted, or you will be trapped in this world forever. There is no reward upon completion of the quest, and the quest cannot be failed."

"Wow, living legends! It would be amazing to be able to work alongside them!"

Thinking this, Huo Zhanji ran towards Huo Yuhao and the other two.

His unusual behavior immediately alerted Huo Yuhao and the other two, after all... encountering other Soul Masters in the Star Dou Great Forest was not a good thing.

Even if the opponent is of average or weaker than you, you must not underestimate them!

You should know that back then, we wiped out the evil soul masters near the Mingdou Mountains.

With his own strength and preparation, the Soul King, the evil Soul Master, and the Death Messenger, under the protection of Xuanzi, a level 98 Super Douluo, nearly wiped out the two generations of Shrek Seven Devils!

When Huo Zhan ran to within ten meters of Huo Yuhao and the other two, even someone as straight-talking as him could clearly sense the intense hostility emanating from them, and instinctively stopped ten meters away from them.

It should be said that Huo Zhanji was lucky. If he had taken another step forward, Huo Yuhao and the other two would have mercilessly bombarded him with their soul skills until he lost his fighting ability!

Seeing the strong reaction from Huo Yuhao and the other two, Huo Zhanji's mind raced, and he came up with a nonsensical explanation:

"Gentlemen, I meant no harm, I just... I just got lost in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Lost?" Xiao Xiao turned around and looked at the plain beyond the forest, faintly visible among the giant trees, and thought to herself:

【Are you kidding me? This is just the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, less than a kilometer from the edge. Anyone with eyes can easily see the way out. Getting lost here? You're kidding me!】

She shared her thoughts with Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao, who nodded in agreement, and their wariness of Huo Zhan increased to a new level.

"Let him come over here, so I can show him what I'm capable of!" Wang Dong placed his shiny left hand behind his back and winked at Huo Yuhao.

The two were so in sync that with just a simple glance, Huo Yuhao immediately understood Wang Dong's meaning. He nodded and waved to the still clueless Huo Zhanji in a friendly manner, saying, "Come here!"

"Oh, okay!" Huo Zhan swallowed hard in excitement and rushed to Huo Yuhao's side, but the more he looked at him, the more something seemed off.

Why does Huo Yuhao look so much like his father?!

What's with this inexplicable sense of familiarity?

The same changes also occurred to Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, who were both about to unleash their soul skills.

But when they saw Huo Zhanzhi's true intentions, for some reason, they silently withdrew their soul skills.

It seems that a unique bond has formed between the three of them, as if they were old acquaintances who have known each other for a long time.

The only outsider—Xiao Xiao—stared incredulously at the three gazing deeply into each other's eyes, a knowing smile, typical of a yaoi fangirl, appearing on her face as she murmured:

[My God, no way! Three men gazing at each other with such affectionate eyes, that's really interesting!]

"What's your name?"

After a long while, Huo Yuhao finally came to his senses and asked softly.

"I...I am Huo Zhanji!" Huo Zhanji swallowed nervously, his heart pounding with excitement.

You have to understand, this is the leading figure of Shrek Academy in this era! The fact that he spoke to me so gently is such a wonderful feeling.

However, the way he spoke always felt strange, as if I had heard it somewhere before.

Something's not right. Twelve out of ten things are not right.

"You're also surnamed Huo!" Wang Dong blinked in surprise, then pulled Huo Yuhao over and introduced him, "He's also surnamed Huo, and his name is Huo Yuhao. You two look a bit alike, could you be related?"

"Ah!" Huo Zhanji and Huo Yuhao exclaimed in unison, their voices trembling, "No way!" ×2

"To be honest," Xiao Xiao, a complete bystander, nodded in agreement, now siding with Wang Dong. "You two really do look alike! Except for your hairstyles, everything else is very similar!"

"Moreover, the tuft of light blue hair on your head is the same as Wang Dong's."

"Nonsense, his pinkish-blue hair! How does it... resemble mine..."

Wang Dong initially retorted to Xiao Xiao's words with great force, but when his gaze fell on Huo Zhan's tuft of blue hair, his voice became several decibels lower.

(Original text: Xiao Xiao's seclusion only lasted for more than thirty days, but Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's seclusion lasted for more than sixty days. This is also an important reason why both of them made great progress in their abilities.)

After the competition, it will take about a day to return to Shrek Academy. After emerging from seclusion, the next day should be the day to compete against the Hibiscus Class in the Outer Court. Then the Body Sect will attack, and Jing Hongchen will be fleeced. On the third day, go to Star Dou.

Considering that Huo Yuhao is currently in Mu Jin's class, the current timeframe is set to approximately 65 days after the end of the first competition.

Qian Lingyun left on the day the competition ended. She spent two days on the road, one day at the Iron Blood Sect, one day inquiring about Tang Ya, and on the fourth night she captured Tang Ya and Zhang Lexuan. On the sixth day, she arrived at the Holy Spirit Sect. On the ninth day, she held a meeting, then went into seclusion for forty-five days. She spent one day subduing Shangguan Weier, one day leaving her name in the Offering Hall, one day traveling from Mingdu to Longcheng, and seven days waiting to deliver the goods. The unpredictable fragmented time in between can be counted as one or two days.

Original text 2: After traveling at full speed, Huo Yuhao and his two companions arrived at the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest in just two days.

②In the virtual world of "Douluo Continent," Huo Zhanji experienced virtual scenarios with the Mad God and the Kind God of Death. In the former, he thought he could storm into someone's camp with his mental detection, but he relied too much on mental detection and didn't even notice the powerful figure approaching.

The latter, in particular, launched a rescue and counterattack operation without conducting any investigation into the opponent's strength, a move commonly referred to as being a "catalyzed giant baby."

Huo Zhan's second martial soul was catalyzed by a cultivation technique, not through normal inheritance.
