Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 147 We are the champions! (Part 2)

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong cheered suddenly, and the two of them grabbed Huo Yuhao at the same time, throwing him into the air amidst his exclamation.

Three people, one team, and they ultimately won the championship in the freshman assessment finals. Who is the real core? Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong both know very well.

They were freely expressing their youthful energy until the teachers on the field were all smiling like doting aunts as they watched the three celebrating non-stop. Only then did Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao realize something and stop celebrating somewhat embarrassedly.

"No, I'm still in heaven!"

Huo Yuhao noticed that the two had stopped throwing him up again, and couldn't help but shout.

The fiery red hand that had easily blocked Huo Yuhao's Kasaya Slash on the Soul Arena reappeared and slowly caught Huo Yuhao. Xuan Lao looked at Huo Yuhao with eyes full of approval.

"Your strike was quite good, it had a bit of the flair of Elder Mu's 'Ruling the World' back in the day. My palm still hurts a little, you'd better cook me a few good meals to make it up to me."

Elder Xuan patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder. This time, Huo Yuhao did not feel any sense of crisis from the other party. It seemed that as long as Huo Yuhao did not take the initiative to rely on the other party or try to curry favor with him, simply contacting this good-natured old man was not a big problem.

"Then I'll trouble you to bring your own ingredients. Whatever ingredients you bring, I'll prepare a delicious meal for you."

Huo Yuhao smiled with delight. If that were the case, it would naturally be very beneficial to cultivate a good relationship with this old man, whose strength was probably even greater than that of Dean Qian and Dean Yan.

"Little one, keep up the good work. Although you've already become a disciple of Duoduo and Shaozhe, if you're interested in discussing with me whether there's anything you can improve in your swordsmanship, you can come to me anytime."

Elder Mu smiled and nodded to Huo Yuhao. The slash Huo Yuhao had made earlier made him feel that his mantle might have found a successor.

Hearing Elder Mu say this, everyone's envy deepened. Elder Mu's words meant that he regarded the other person as half a disciple.

With their limited knowledge, how could they not see that Huo Yuhao's previous strike was somewhat similar to Elder Mu's signature move?

Huo Yuhao nodded vigorously in response. He knew far too little to reach the pinnacle of his skills, and he was eager to learn from the world's top experts.

"Alright, since that's the case, we old folks won't disturb your celebration any longer."

Old Master Mu looked at Huo Yuhao, becoming more and more satisfied, and left with a happy smile.

One day later.

Huo Yuhao and his friends had already gathered a group of friends to celebrate winning the freshman competition. Huo Yuhao himself hadn't noticed at first, but after counting, he realized that he already had so many friends.

It seemed that everyone had anticipated Huo Yuhao's victory in the freshman competition, as they all brought ingredients with them.

The ingredients Jiang Nannan brought were century-old ginseng that she had casually picked out while hunting for spirit rings.

Xu Sanshi brought a two-hundred-year-old black tortoise as a gift, but actually wanted to drink the turtle soup that Huo Yuhao had stewed.

Bei Bei and Tang Ya, on the other hand, somehow caught a hapless red rainbow that was over a meter long, and wanted Huo Yuhao to cook it in ten different ways.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng took out a pair of thousand-year-old Mighty Vajra Bear paws, wanting to see which was better, Huo Yuhao's milk soup stewed bear paws or the chef's skills from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. This made the outstanding one, whose martial soul was the Mighty Vajra Bear, feel a chill in his wrist.

The ingredients Ning Ge brought were the offal from the Glazed Dragon that Ning Tian had absorbed the soul ring from last time. The dragon's heart, liver, and belly were all there, and they had all been cleaned and refrigerated in advance, clearly indicating that he had prepared in advance.

Jiechu chuckled, glanced back like a thief to make sure his mother wasn't following, and then grinned mischievously, "I've stolen some of my family's best wine, which I've kept for over twenty years. Let's have a good drink today, brothers and sisters, until we're all drunk, hahaha."

The central island of Poseidon Lake, inside the Golden Ancient Tree.

The Sea God Pavilion meeting, which was usually held only once a year, was convened again less than three months after the last one.

The normally serious and calm meeting room has now turned into a chaotic mess.

"I'll say it again, it's not that this child can't study in your Soul Guidance Department, but studying for two or three hours a day is enough."

Master Xuan slammed his hand on the table and expressed his opinion.

"Two or three hours? Should our Soul Guidance Department thank you for your mercy?"

Xian Lin'er was not intimidated by Elder Xuan at all. She slammed her hand on the table and said, "Why don't we just give this child to our Soul Guidance Department? Even if we have to sell everything we own, our Soul Guidance Department will still manage to gather a set of 100,000-year soul bones for him. Your Martial Soul Department can go find whoever they want."

"Hey, hey, hey, this won't do! How did it turn into a kidnapping incident?"

Yan Shaozhe panicked and immediately spoke, only to be glared at by Xian Lin'er.

"Shao Zhe, since you already have such a good kid as Xiao Tao, why don't you just give Yu Hao to our Soul Guidance Department? Shao Zhe, listen to what Elder Xuan said, 'Come to the Soul Guidance Department to study for two or three hours,' tsk tsk tsk."

Qian Duoduo then said in a somewhat sarcastic tone that the harmonious relationship she had with Yan Shaozhe during the previous match was no longer there.

"The cultivation speed of an ultimate martial soul isn't that fast. If all the time is devoted to the soul guidance system, how can Huo Yuhao improve his cultivation level?"

Yan Shaozhe also argued his case based on reason.

Qian Duoduo: "You have no idea how amazing Yuhao's soul guidance talent is. He was born for this. The study time you've arranged for Yuhao is a complete waste of his potential!"

"What's so special about him? It's as if Huo Yuhao's talent in martial souls isn't remarkable. Just that one strike he made during his martial soul battle left a gash on my palm. Is that kind of talent just going to be wasted?"

Old Xuan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his opponent, refusing to even gnaw on the chicken leg he was holding.

"Isn't that because your Martial Soul Department is going too far, making Huo Yuhao learn about soul tools for eight hours every day? That's too much!"

Xian Lin'er also knew that Huo Yuhao was practically the future of the Soul Guidance Department, and she never gave up her principles.

"Eight hours a day for cultivation, eight hours for learning martial spirit knowledge and combat spirit experience, and the remaining eight hours have to be allocated to your soul guidance department. Do you think Huo Yuhao is a soul tool that can keep running as long as it has soul power? Does he not need to rest or eat?"

"Why don't you bunch of old bastards just deduct Huo Yuhao's study time from your own Martial Soul Department? Why do you have to deduct it from our Soul Guidance Department's time? You're playing the good guy, but you're all from the Soul Guidance Department! Bah!"

On this extraordinary day, Xian Lin'er, representing the Soul Guidance Department, single-handedly dominated the Sea God Pavilion, engaging in a fierce debate with a group of scholars.

On this day, everyone in the Martial Soul system remembered the fear of being dominated by the Valkyrie.

I've finally got the update time pretty much set. I'll write some more drafts this afternoon, and tomorrow I can get back to a stable 11:50 update time. I'll also make sure to deliver the drafts I owe everyone.
