Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 255 The Shrek Seven Devils Take Shape (Daily 10,000 words)

Once outside the Soul Battle Zone, Huo Yuhao discovered that not only Wang Dong, but also Bei Bei, He Caitou, and others had not left and were waiting for him outside the zone.

Of course, they weren't just waiting idly. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were trying their best to tell others how simple it was to achieve victory by following Huo Yuhao's mental detection and instructions.

"Brother Beibei, and Senior Brother, why haven't you left yet?" Huo Yuhao hurriedly went to greet them.

"Of course I'm here to thank you."

Beibei smiled and said, "In that chaotic battle just now, strength alone wasn't enough to guarantee victory. Since we were all at the fourth ring, we were bound to face combined attacks from others."

"Our victory was achieved so smoothly thanks to you. Your shared mental detection and the ability to issue commands at top speed in the chaotic melee were crucial. Without that, if the teams on the field had been given more time to sort out their strategies, we Soul Masters would have been eliminated."

Xu Sanshi nodded in deep agreement. At first, they reacted similarly to the other teams, simply sticking together to fight, and then they fell into confusion. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao's mental detection was forcibly shared the next moment, announcing and arranging clearly what everyone needed to do.

Xu Sanshi said casually, "Yuhao, there's another reason we're staying. Since we're all part of the Shrek Seven Devils reserve team selected this time, we must work hard and no one can fall behind. Only then can we represent the academy in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament five years from now."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Jiang Nannan, who was standing not far away. Jiang Nannan, however, was looking down at her toes. Xu Sanshi was overjoyed to have qualified alongside Jiang Nannan, as this undoubtedly created an opportunity for him to be with her openly.

"Indeed, no one can fall behind. This free-for-all wasn't exciting enough. I guess the academy will be increasing the difficulty for us soon. I didn't have time to test the effects of the new soul bone I bought from the Treasure Hunt this time, but I think it won't be long before I can use it."

Xu Sanshi's eyes widened: "The new soul bone you bought at the Treasure Appreciation Event? You mean that Golden Radiance?"

Xu Sanshi's tone changed. That was a treasure worth nearly ten million in full. His family was rich, but that didn't mean they had that much liquid capital. Moreover, even if they did have that much money, it was impossible for Xu Sanshi's family to take out all their liquid capital to buy such a soul bone for him.

Since the Treasure Pavilion's reserves of ten-thousand-year-old soul bones were mostly allocated by the academy to support the production of new close-combat soul tools for the Soul Guidance Department this year, the number of soul bones on display was quite small, and there was only one soul bone that matched Wang Dong. Therefore, Xu Sanshi immediately guessed which soul bone Wang Dong had bought.

Wang Dong nodded.

"My goodness, what kind of background do you have? You can just casually pull out more than nine million in cash. Your liquid reserves are probably more than our family's total assets."

Wang Dong smiled slightly and summoned his Clear Sky Hammer: "I mainly benefited from Yuhao's red card. His card offers much better discounts than mine."

Upon seeing the Clear Sky Hammer, everyone's eyes showed relief. "You should have said you were from the Clear Sky Sect earlier. It's not surprising that someone from the Clear Sky Sect is so rich. Twin Martial Souls?"

Upon seeing Wang Dong's Clear Sky Hammer, everyone was incredibly surprised, for this was a twin martial soul!

"Why are you all so surprised? Yuhao, Xiaoxiao, and I all have twin martial souls. Isn't that quite common?"

Wang Dong rolled his eyes and said something that made everyone's blood pressure soar.

Bei Bei and the others exchanged glances and smiled wryly. It was quite common, but when they thought about how three people with twin martial souls had appeared in the same class, they really didn't know what to say.

From this perspective, at least in Class One, having twin martial souls is indeed not very rare.

"Alright, we can talk about this later. We have plenty of time to get to know each other. Let's aim to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament five years from now without missing a single one."

In the end, it was Beibei who steered the conversation back on track.

"By the way, since we are the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils, we need to have a ranking order, just like the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils. So, Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, when are your birthdays?"

Soon, the seven people were arranged in order of age.

The oldest is Beibei. He is only a month younger than He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan, just like Huo Yuhao and Wang Dongxiao.

After Beibei comes He Caitou, then Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, Huo Yuhao, and Wang Dong is the youngest.

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi immediately became excited: "We're all in the academy, so we're already senior brothers, junior brothers, senior sisters, and junior sisters. From now on, let's address each other as fellow disciples. Hahaha, I'm ranked third, isn't that the same as our ancestor Tang San? He was the Thousand-Handed Asura, and I'm the Thousand-Handed Xuanming Turtle, that doesn't sound very nice."

Bei Bei said irritably, "Same ranking doesn't mean the same ability. Calling each other fellow disciples is fine, but if you're willing to join our Tang Sect, then you'll truly deserve it."

Xu Sanshi chuckled and said, "Didn't I already tell you the conditions for joining the Tang Clan?"

As he spoke, he gestured towards Jiang Nannan with his lip.

Beibei rolled his eyes upon hearing this. Over the years, he had helped Xu Sanshi, that unlucky guy, quite a bit, but not only was it of no use, it had also worn down the goodwill he had painstakingly built up on several occasions.

For example, the time a few years ago when I celebrated Tang Ya's birthday at Yuhao's barbecue restaurant, not only did it affect Yuhao's business, but I also got scolded by Tang Ya when I got back, and she grabbed my ear and gave me a lecture.

Ultimately, the matter of calling each other fellow disciples could not be settled. However, Bei Bei's idea of ​​developing and expanding the Tang Sect was not entirely in vain. He Cai Tou wanted to try adding some hidden weapon elements to the creation of soul tools, so he chose to join the Tang Sect.

In addition, Xiao Xiao was very interested in the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Step, believing that this movement technique might be able to make up for her lack of agility as a control-type and power-attack-type Soul Master, so she also decided to join the Tang Sect.

Wang Dong wasn't very interested in joining the Tang Sect. Perhaps it was because the Haotian Sect and the Tang Sect were gradually going in opposite directions, but Wang Dong politely declined Bei Bei's invitation.

Huo Yuhao goes without saying. He was hoping that if he were ever caught by that old guy Du Bu Si again, he could use his status as someone without a sect to take the fall. To be honest, apart from being a bit poor, having a remote location, and having a sect leader who was a bit too controlling, the Body Sect was pretty good overall.
