Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 209 Crossdressing (Daily Voyage)

Huo Yuhao's appearance in front of the academy shocked many students. On Huo Yuhao's shoulder was a dead assassin. The assassin's face was black, his eyes were empty, and it was almost impossible to detect how much life he had left.

Night had fallen and the sun had set, though it still shone brightly. Most of the sky was now covered in the colors of night, colors that resembled those Huo Yuhao saw when he soared into the heavens.

The students strolled around the school in twos and threes, only to find Huo Yuhao suddenly appearing there, covered in blood and carrying a man whose fate was unknown.

"Yuhao!"

Wang Dong's clear voice rang out, and the butterfly wings behind him flapped, quickly heading towards Huo Yuhao's location.

Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw that it was Wang Dong. This guy seemed to have bought a lot of clothes, so much so that his storage soul tool couldn't hold them all, and he was carrying several of them in his hand.

Without hesitation, Wang Dong dropped all the clothes in his hands, glanced at Huo Yuhao with some concern, and then, without caring about the bloodstains on Huo Yuhao's body, took the clueless assassin from Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao landed on the two bags of clothes that Wang Dong had left on the ground. Many of the clothes had spilled out, and they looked like girls' clothes, including a few dresses.

"What happened to you? I heard from Huang Chutian that you were back, but you went straight to the Star Dou Forest as soon as you got back. Are you alright?"

Wang Dong nervously touched Huo Yuhao's body, and when he touched the wounds that had not yet healed, he carelessly tore them open again. Huo Yuhao couldn't help but groan in pain and looked at Wang Dong with a wry smile.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao's clothes, which had turned dark brown, were instantly soaked and turned dark red, Wang Dong realized that he had accidentally reopened Huo Yuhao's wounds. Somewhat embarrassed, he changed the subject, saying, "It's okay, he can run and jump. It's just scary to look at. It scared me to death."

As he spoke, Wang Dong nervously patted his chest, looking relieved.

"I went to a conference with my teacher before, and a lot of unexpected things happened on the way back. I even encountered a group of assassins who wanted to kill me. I took care of most of them, but this one escaped."

Huo Yuhao rubbed his wound: "Later, the teacher found me and took me to the infirmary. I secretly ran away and followed the trail to catch this guy. Luckily, he didn't go far."

"Dai Huabin? Is that the bastard?"

Wang Dong was so angry that his eyes were blazing with fury.

Huo Yuhao smiled wryly. This guy's motive was so obvious that no evidence was needed; everyone knew it was him.

"I don't know, but I removed the biting object from the killer's teeth, so he has lost the chance to commit suicide. We'll find out who the killer is a little later."

Seeing Wang Dong's angry and worried expression, Huo Yuhao quickly asked, "Wang Dong, why did you buy so many girls' clothes? Who are you planning to give them to? Xiao Xiao, the Lan sisters, or Wu Feng?"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Wang Dong felt as if he had been electrocuted, and only relaxed after hearing the second half of the sentence.

"Don't worry about it. This is something I brought for someone else."

Wang Dong explained somewhat flusteredly, then immediately changed the subject: "I endured the disgust to help you carry this thing, how are you going to compensate me!"

Huo Yuhao felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this. He knew that Wang Dong was a germaphobe. His blood-soaked appearance at the school gate startled the other students. Wang Dong took the unconscious assassin from him without saying a word, which was a challenge for Wang Dong as well.

"Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll prepare it for you. How about three meals?"

Huo Yuhao was distracted by Wang Dong's change of topic and immediately forgot about the fact that Wang Dong was carrying two bags of women's clothing.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't press the matter further, Wang Dong finally felt a little relieved.

"No, at least five meals!"

"Okay, whatever you say is fine."

"Did I not shout enough?"

"A little."

The news of Huo Yuhao capturing an assassin spread like wildfire across the campus, as if propelled by an invisible force. Within a short time, the story had reached the entire school, even reaching the students deep within the inner courtyards.

"What did you say?"

Dai Yueheng frowned deeply.

"That's right. I saw it when I went to submit the materials. Apparently, an assassin tried to kill a core disciple of the outer academy, but the disciple managed to drag him to our academy. Not only did the teachers arrive, but out of the eighteen assassins, only one managed to escape."

"Judging from the quality of the residual soul power fluctuations in these people's bodies, these eighteen assassins should be one Soul Emperor, five Soul Kings, and the rest are all Soul Sect level."

As he spoke, Chen Zifeng's face lit up with an exaggerated expression.

"I'll ask Xiao Tao to introduce me to him tomorrow. I've heard that this junior brother's swordsmanship is profound. It would be a real shame not to befriend such a talented young man."

Chen Zifeng's tone carried a hint of excitement.

One Soul Emperor, five Soul Kings, and the rest are Soul Sect Masters?

Upon hearing this news, Dai Yueheng was slightly startled. This setup seemed so familiar. And there were exactly eighteen people?

"What? That junior is that fierce? After returning to school to heal his injuries, he went back into the Star Dou Forest and captured the last escaped assassin alive?"

Chen Zifeng picked up the communication soul tool, his face filled with indescribable shock.

"It's already incredible enough that a Great Soul Master could escape the pursuit of so many Soul Masters, but now they're even hunting down a Soul Sect Master. I really find it hard to believe what you're saying."

"Alright, alright, I'm coming right away. If I can learn a few tricks from this junior, I might have a better chance of dealing with evil spirit masters in the future. By the way, you said he was injured too, right? I'll prepare some gifts first and then head over."

Chen Zifeng turned off his communication soul tool and walked out.

"Zifeng, I'll go with you."

Feeling uneasy, Dai Yueheng pulled Chen Zifeng back.

"What's the name of this junior you're talking about?"

Dai Yueheng asked in a deep voice.

"Huo Yuhao, he's the guy who was quite famous at our school even before he enrolled. He's an absolute master at grilling fish, but unfortunately he doesn't cook much anymore. I used to frequent his barbecue restaurant."

As Chen Zifeng walked out, he hurriedly explained.
