Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 249 The Beginning of the Trouble (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

Whale glue is an extremely yang and potent tonic. If an ordinary adult male were to consume it, it would have certain special effects. However, Huo Yuhao is anything but ordinary now. His blood and qi surged, rapidly absorbing the power of the whale glue and transforming every bit of power into nourishment for every cell in his body.

The surging blood energy surged, boiled, and even roared within Huo Yuhao's body. When the power of the whale glue rushed into Huo Yuhao's meridians and released its own power, the blood energy rushing into Huo Yuhao's body was like a pack of hungry wolves, devouring all of this pure power.

If Huo Yuhao couldn't fully absorb the power of this whale glue, the remaining power might indeed embarrass him a bit. But unfortunately, Huo Yuhao's body at this moment was like a huge furnace, and no matter what rare and precious materials were poured in, they would be completely devoured by the surging blood energy.

To fully satisfy the surging blood energy within Huo Yuhao's body, a single piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue is far from enough.

Huo Yuhao had finished absorbing the whale glue, but Wang Dong's absorption of the soul bone had only just begun. When Wang Dong's soul power barely touched the left arm bone, a rich golden-red light surged towards him like flowing water and instantly adhered to his left arm.

Instantly, Wang Dong's entire body was bathed in a golden-red glow, a rich and intense warmth rising and surging within him. He let out a long breath, almost like a comfortable groan. He stood there with his eyes closed, seemingly enjoying the process of fusion.

Huo Yuhao quietly got out of bed and leaned closer to Wang Dong to examine him closely. When he saw that Wang Dong looked satisfied and comfortable, he felt extremely resentful.

It was one thing to suffer when absorbing the Ice Emperor's soul bone, given its extremely high age, but the external spinal bone I absorbed was only a few hundred years old, yet I still suffered terribly.

Seeing that Wang Dong's soul bone absorption process went smoothly, Huo Yuhao was relieved and probed his spiritual will into the sea of ​​his mind.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu seemed to have calmed down. The group sat down on the ground in their own spiritual seas, while Tianmeng Bingcan tried her best to tell everyone some lame jokes. However, after eavesdropping on two of them, Huo Yuhao felt the temperature of his spiritual sea drop a few degrees.

"Old Qian, Old Yi, Brother Tianmeng, Hyotei."

Huo Yuhao slowly revealed his form and greeted everyone. It has to be said that his spiritual sea is now very lively. A group of people are gathered inside. There is an extra dealer for playing Dou Dizhu, and enough people to play mahjong. If he were added, they could even play Baohuang.

"You're here?"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm shifted its plump body to make room for Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao stepped forward and looked at Qian Daoliu, who had regained his composure.

Qian Daoliu sat cross-legged on the sea of ​​consciousness, took a deep breath: "You're very puzzled, aren't you, Yuhao?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. He was indeed puzzled as to why Qian Daoliu had said so many strange things before, claiming that all the blame was on him.

"It all started when Tang Chen, Poseidon, and I traveled across the continent. You should know about my story with Poseidon. After Poseidon revealed who would become a god and who she would choose as her partner, I understood everything and returned to the Spirit Hall disheartened."

"Although Tang Chen's previous wife and I had already passed away by then, we started pursuing Poseidon. I still felt a sense of betrayal. Because of this, I spoiled and indulged Xunji in her upbringing."

"This was the beginning of all the trouble that followed."

The story told by Qian Daoliu surprised everyone, and they all sighed at the eventual destruction of the Spirit Hall.

If Qian Daoliu had been stricter with Qian Xunji back then, perhaps none of this would have happened. No wonder Qian Daoliu was so agitated when he saw the Angelic Holy Sword, once enshrined in the temple, reduced to fragments.

The glory of angels is gone, the Douluo Continent has been without gods for ten thousand years, and even the Douluo Continent is coveted by ambitious people. All of this is because of him. The enormous sins weigh on Qian Daoliu every day, making it hard for him to breathe. He has been waiting for a chance to atone for the sins of the entire continent for far too long.

Every bite and sip is ordained by fate. After hearing Qian Daoliu's story, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a deeper awe of the power of destiny.

"Old man, we'll get everything back on track. You're not fighting alone now, are you?"

Huo Yuhao moved closer to Qian Daoliu, and perhaps because the secret he had kept for so long was finally revealed, Qian Daoliu even felt a sense of relief.

"Thank you, Yuhao, and Brother Yi, Tianmeng, Bingdi, thank you all."

A smile finally appeared on Qian Daoliu's face. In any case, he had at least been given a chance to atone for his sins, and he was determined to seize it.

Nothing happened that night. When Wang Dong woke up the next day, it seemed like a little tail had risen up from behind him, swaying back and forth, almost sticking up to the sky.

Perhaps he couldn't bring himself to show off to Huo Yuhao, but he wasn't quite comfortable showing off to others, which left Wang Dong with a look of regret on his face.

After class ended in the morning, Ms. Mu Jin announced the end of get out of class. Everyone was about to run to the cafeteria when they found Ms. Wang Yan already standing at the door with a smile.

"Alright, let's not waste everyone's time. Core disciples, please stay behind and come with me to the Soul Battle Zone later."

Seeing that most of the others had left, Wang Yan coughed, drawing everyone's attention to himself.

"I've called you all here today because there's a special matter I need to inform you about. The Outer Academy will be holding a selection competition for core disciples."

"Originally, we second-year students weren't supposed to participate, but the academy changed the rules at the last minute, allowing our core second-year students to participate in the selection. So, you kids need to be prepared."

Xiao Xiao asked curiously, "Teacher Wang, what kind of selection are we doing?"

Wang Yan smiled mysteriously and explained, "Don't worry, it's a good thing. Seven people will be selected to participate in a special mission. You'll find out what it is once you're among the seven."

"You don't need to be nervous. There will be no punishment for losing this selection competition. There are only about thirty core disciples under the age of fifteen from the outer academy, including those from the Soul Guidance Department. Just do your best."

Hearing Wang Yan's meaning, the group immediately understood that this was probably another small competition to showcase the talents of core disciples.

After confirming that there would be no punishment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people couldn't help but secretly complain that Shrek Academy had too many tests.

The upgrade assessment just ended, and now the core disciples have to take another assessment. It's like they don't want to give people any more time to cultivate in peace. It was better when I was in the first year, when there weren't so many messy things.
