Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 104 Hanging on the city gate tower, sizzling blood (10,000 words per day)

Upon seeing the last line of the recommendation letter, Qian Duoduo seemed to want to say something, her lips moving slightly.

"This good-for-nothing, stupid apprentice. Even if your journey is blocked, it doesn't matter. Your teacher will at least prepare a place for you to stay. After all, you are still my apprentice."

Qian Duoduo looked a little lonely, but fortunately she quickly refocused her attention on Ning Ge's introduction of Huo Yuhao.

"You brat, you became self-taught at nine without any formal instruction, and you even made your first core array using a boning knife you bought on the street?"

Qian Duoduo read Ning Ge's recommendation letter to Huo Yuhao again carefully, and the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

"I guess so. Thanks to my main body's martial soul, I could see the lines more clearly when I was carving them. Also, the lines required for a level one soul guide core array don't require micro-carving, so the boning knife can still be used."

Huo Yuhao answered honestly.

Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. As fellow Soul Masters, they knew all too well what it meant to be able to carve core formations with a boning knife at the age of nine.

Moreover, according to Ning Ge, this kid's talent in soul guidance learning is just as terrifying as his talent in carving. He advanced to the second-level soul guide master in less than a year. This speed is even more terrifying than Ning Ge and He Caitou, the two undisputed geniuses of the soul guidance system.

"What materials did you use for the first core soul-guiding array you created back then?"

Qian Duoduo suddenly spoke, staring intently at Huo Yuhao.

"Sophobic tin."

Huo Yuhao answered without the slightest hesitation.

Hearing this answer, Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu were finally relieved. The boning knife they bought on the roadside wasn't that hard, and it was nowhere near as hard as the soul carving knife used by a normal soul master.

Tin-refined metal is one of the few rare metals that has extremely low hardness but can be used as a core material for array formations.

That's why, when Huo Yuhao gave this answer without hesitation, Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu truly believed that the person standing in front of them might be the greatest hope of Shrek Academy, or even the original Douluo Three Kingdoms' soul guide world.

This is a true genius, one in a million!

"Not bad, it seems that old bastard Yan Shaozhe still has some conscience. In that case, I'll accept you."

"Feel sorry."

Huo Yuhao's somewhat embarrassed voice rang out: "Dean Qian, my teacher said that a recommendation letter is just a recommendation letter. If you really intend to accept me, I have to go back to class immediately. If you have any other thoughts, you can talk to him about it. And there is absolutely no personal grudge involved."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Qian Duoduo's face twisted in disbelief: "This fickle, womanizing playboy has the nerve to say he has no personal grudges?"

"Damn it, Lin'er only got together with me because he hurt her time and time again."

As Qian Duoduo spoke, she clenched her fists, glanced at Huo Yuhao, and said irritably, "Let's go, let's go. I'll talk to Lao Yan about your matter. It's just a matter of losing a little blood. Hurry up and go. Seeing you makes me annoyed."

After waving Huo Yuhao away impatiently, Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu finally got together.

"What do you think of this kid? Although he has already shown enough talent, based on my understanding of Lao Yan, he probably has far more talent than that. He's just waiting to take advantage of me."

Qian Duoduo looked at Fan Yu and asked, somewhat unsure of what to do.

"I learned about this kid before because of Zhou Yi's matter. According to many students from the outer academy, this kid makes delicious barbecue, has solid soul guide repair skills, and his basic skills are definitely good. Moreover, this kid's fighting spirit is terrifyingly strong."

"Terrifyingly strong?" Qian Duoduo frowned. "How strong?"

Fan Yu said, "When this child was nine years old and at level eleven, he crossed an 18-level gap in soul power and defeated Xu Sanshi, who was at level twenty-nine at the time, 2-0 on the Soul Battle Arena. Although the final result was one win and one draw, everyone with eyes could see what really happened. He just left Xu Sanshi with some dignity."

"A difference in soul power spanning eighteen levels?"

Qian Duoduo gasped and uttered that classic exclamation once again.

"The second son is terrifying! How did this kid do that? Overcoming an eighteen-level difference in soul power? That's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Qian Duoduo didn't find Huo Yuhao terrifying at all; he only found it unbelievable. A difference of ten or eight levels in soul power could be overcome with effort, but damn it, an eighteen-level difference in soul power was something he couldn't possibly figure out how Huo Yuhao had managed to overcome.

After finishing his meal at the cafeteria, Huo Yuhao went back to his dormitory and took a leisurely nap. After absorbing the soul bone in the morning, Yan Shaozhe assigned him a task: to go to the Soul Guidance Department to find Qian Duoduo and demonstrate his potential. He was to leave the rest to Huo Yuhao.

That's why Huo Yuhao, being very sensible, went to the Soul Guidance Department after class, and everything actually developed just as Yan Shaozhe had predicted.

"So, it's true that enemies understand each other better?"

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, recalling the few words Qian Duoduo had blurted out when she was emotional earlier. It seemed that Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo had a lot of things going on because of a woman named "Lin'er".

However, such gossip is too dangerous. If you're not careful, you might get hung up on the city gate tower by Dean Qian or Dean Yan and have your blood spurted out with a knife. You might even get hung up on the city gate tower by both of these old guys and have your blood spurted out.

For the sake of his own life, Huo Yuhao decided that even if he wanted to find out the specific details of this gossip, it would be safer to ask his senior sister Ma Xiaotao or his senior brother Ning Ge.

"What do you mean by 'friendly' or 'unfriendly'?"

Just then, Wang Dong, who had also just woken up from his afternoon nap, twitched his ears and heard Huo Yuhao talking to himself.

"I said I'd hang you up on the city gate tower and let your blood splatter out."

Huo Yuhao grinned mischievously, then immediately rushed out of the dormitory.

"You idiot, you really deserve a beating. If you've got the guts, come up to the Soul Arena with me now."

Wang Dong was furious and immediately chased after him.

The afternoon physical education class was not in the teaching building. Based on the address left by Wang Yan before the end of the previous get out of class, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong quickly found the designated location for the afternoon physical education class.

Although Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong arrived quite quickly because they had been chasing each other all the way, Teacher Wang Yan appeared here even earlier than the two of them.

"Yuhao, Wang Dong, you two are here early."

Wang Yan nodded at the two of them and then handed them a form.
