Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 114 Wang Dong, don't waste time thinking (10,000 words per day)

Xiao Xiao stared at Huo Yuhao in shock. She knew that she was able to get this information because she had good relationships with many students from other classes and would often visit each other's dormitories for late-night chats. That's how she got so much information. But how did Huo Yuhao know so much?

In response to Xiao Xiao's shock, Huo Yuhao simply scratched his head: "Ning Tian's third spirit ring was hunted down with the help of Brother Ning. As for the Lan sisters in Class 7, it was because a big mouth named Huang Chutian in Class 7 brought it up during dinner."

After thinking for a moment, Huo Yuhao added, "I didn't really go out of my way to find out about the other classes. I basically just overheard them while I was cooking for them on weekends. You know how it is, people are most likely to lose control of their mouths when they're drinking."

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's impeccable answer, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao exchanged glances. They then remembered that in addition to being a student, Huo Yuhao would also spend two days every weekend at his barbecue restaurant making barbecue.

The two of them knew very well how delicious Huo Yuhao's barbecue was, which is why Huo Yuhao's barbecue restaurant was always incredibly popular every weekend. People talked about all sorts of things there, and for freshmen, the most important thing was naturally the Freshman Competition, so a significant portion of the topics of conversation revolved around that.

Actually, what Huo Yuhao said before wasn't entirely true; he lied.

Huo Yuhao didn't bother to investigate his other opponents, but when he heard the name Dai Huabin, he mobilized his entire network of connections to dig up every detail about the other party.

He could accept losing to anyone, but he would never allow himself to lose to Dai Huabin. Not only could he not lose, he also had to crush Dai Huabin's path to the championship with overwhelming force.

He may not be qualified to return to the White Tiger Duke's Mansion to reclaim his principal yet, but at least he wants to get some interest back for his mother.

Seeing her carefully prepared topic crumble under Huo Yuhao's more detailed information, Xiao Xiao's brain was momentarily overloaded. Huo Yuhao had all the information about her opponent, so what topics could she possibly come up with to talk about?

"Well, actually I have another martial soul called Nine Phoenixes Come to Court Flute, which is mainly for auxiliary control, but I only added the first soul ring, and its effect is to slow down the enemy's movement speed."

Xiao Xiao's words made both of them's eyes light up.

"You also possess twin martial souls?"

"Yes," Xiao Xiao nodded proudly, then looked at Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong in disbelief: "You two too?"

"Alright, there's nothing left to discuss now, at least for this round of matches. Let's save the specific tactics for when we fight against Great Soul Masters and Soul Venerables."

After hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Wang Dong slumped into his chair. With three twin martial souls gathered together, he really couldn't understand what the need was to discuss tactics, especially since Huo Yuhao's combat strength couldn't be considered that of an ordinary twin martial soul master.

With this lineup, let alone a first-year team, even if the opponent is an elite team composed of second-year students, they might not be able to reliably suppress the three of them.

"...That seems to be the case," Xiao Xiao said dejectedly.

The two topics that Xiao Xiao had painstakingly prepared were each brought to a close by Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, leaving her dejected as she returned to her dormitory.

"Cultivate, cultivate, break through to Soul Master level and beat those idiots!"

Wang Dong hummed a song and skipped back to his dormitory, causing Huo Yuhao, who was following behind him, to abandon his plan to continue attending classes at the Soul Guidance Department that afternoon. The competition was tomorrow, so he should cultivate a little more.

The next day was boring, spent in meditation.

Wang Dong is a man of his word. He meditated for a whole day in order to achieve his goal of beating up Huo Yuhao. Of course, his reason was that he was about to break through to level 24 and wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

Huo Yuhao wasn't idle either. Like Wang Dong, he stayed in the dormitory and cultivated for a whole day. Cultivating with the talented Scroll King was indeed stressful. Before, Wang Dong would read supernatural tales with interjections whenever he had free time, and Huo Yuhao thought his cultivation speed was pretty good.

However, when Wang Dong actually started cultivating diligently and surpassed him by one level in just over two months, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh that cultivating quickly really did allow him to do whatever he wanted, and he then cultivated even more diligently than before.

The next morning, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong went straight to the teaching building after breakfast.

As soon as they entered the classroom, they felt a lively atmosphere.

Wang Yan's grouping was very appropriate. No one asked to switch groups. Now everyone is gathered in twos and threes, enthusiastically studying the tactics and strategies for the afternoon.

After meeting up with Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao took the time in the morning to discuss some simple basic tactics, taking advantage of the precious free time.

The first strategy they came up with was to "close the door and let Wang Dong go." As long as there were no opponents at the Great Soul Master level, Wang Dong would handle everything on his own.

Wang Dong, the tactician in charge, strongly opposed this tactic, but his opposition was ineffective. Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao wisely stood on the same side.

"Vice squad leader, in order to keep our team's strength out of the public eye as much as possible, could you please do this for us?"

Huo Yuhao patted Wang Dong on the shoulder earnestly.

"No, I understand hiding your strength, but why make me go first?"

Wang Dong kept glancing at Huo Yuhao and then at Xiao Xiao, his eyes filled with a blank stare. His brain seemed to have crashed, unable to process such a complex problem.

"You mean you want to send up Xiao Xiao, such a delicate girl?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at Wang Dong, whose brain was still malfunctioning, and asked with some curiosity.

"Then, if Xiao Xiao can't do it, can't you go instead?"

Wang Dong argued his case based on reason.

"Have you ever seen anyone lay their cards on the table? Aren't there enough rumors about me at school already? Do you really want to push me out of the spotlight?"

Wang Dong glanced at Huo Yuhao, then thought about the rumors surrounding him. Sending Huo Yuhao, such a trump card, seemed inappropriate.

"Then there's only one choice left, why not just choose me and go up?"

As Wang Dong continued talking, he realized he had gotten himself into a mess, and his brain went completely blank.

"Wang Dong, listen to my advice. I'm telling you, you're different from others. Don't waste time thinking. Just listen to what Xiao Xiao and I have to do, go up and beat them up. Don't use the Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul, just use the Clear Sky Hammer. That thing is more terrifying."

Seeing Wang Dong still deep in thought, Huo Yuhao sighed and patted him on the shoulder.
