Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 397 Long Aotian? Zhao Ritian! (8K)

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao quickly stood up.

Yan Shaozhe hasn't had much rest lately, and he's been doing everything himself, not wanting Ma Xiaotao to do anything. Now that Long Aotian is a guest, he should sit down, and since Huo Yuhao has only come back to see him after so long, he can't very well ask Huo Yuhao to make a pot of hot tea. As a result, Yan Shaozhe has no choice but to take matters into his own hands.

"Teacher, let me do it, you should take a rest."

Huo Yuhao hurriedly walked in front of Yan Shaozhe and started working. Ma Xiaotao also took out the tea set and handed it to Huo Yuhao, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Teacher, I can only temporarily stop cultivating, not stop moving. When the master is in trouble, the disciple will do his duty. This is what you taught me when I first started learning."

Ma Xiaotao was also somewhat helpless, giving Yan Shaozhe a reproachful look, which made Yan Shaozhe burst into laughter.

Having such apprentices is a blessing for him.

After boiling the tea, Yan Shaozhe stroked the lid of the teacup, took a small sip, and then put down the teacup and looked at Long Aotian.

"Aotian, may I call you that?"

"sure."

Long Aotian had also heard of Dean Yan, the Phoenix Douluo. Although he was a bit of a womanizer in his youth, he hated evil and was once a ruthless character who made evil soul masters cry for their parents.

The two talked for a long time and basically finalized Long Aotian's study plan at the academy.

Because Long Aotian rarely leaves his home and lives in seclusion at the Body Sect, very few people have actually seen him. At most, they know his name, but nothing else, such as his appearance, martial spirit, or cultivation level.

For this reason, Shrek Academy is not worried that after the exchange students from Sun Moon Academy arrive, the two sides will be able to deduce any information from Long Aotian's presence at Shrek Academy.

However, the name Long Aotian cannot be used in the academy; an alias must be used.

Long Aotian readily accepted this, and promptly adopted the alias Zhao Ritian for himself. According to him, he felt that this name was more domineering than Long Aotian and better suited his temperament.

The group chatted in a relaxed manner. During the conversation, Huo Yuhao tried to help Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire within her body, but as Mu En had expected, Huo Yuhao's suppression was only a temporary fix.

As soon as Huo Yuhao's power entered Ma Xiaotao's body, the evil flames immediately shrank back. The flames, which were originally dark red and turning black, instantly turned into a bright orange-red. However, once Huo Yuhao stopped inputting his power, these evil flames would resurface without any restraint, proving extremely troublesome.

According to Ma Xiaotao's own description, since her martial soul stopped transforming into a black phoenix, it seemed to have become more flexible. If she concentrated, she could suppress the evil fire for a while, but if she was not careful, the evil fire in her martial soul would come out again and cause trouble.

That's why Ma Xiaotao has been too lazy to cultivate lately. Rather than fighting wits and courage with her own martial spirit, she'd rather stop cultivating. With no soul power left in her body, even the most powerful evil fire is like a skilled cook without rice, unable to stir up any trouble.

Just as Yan Shaozhe and Huo Yuhao were frowning, feeling somewhat worried about the changes in Ma Xiaotao's martial soul, Long Aotian looked thoughtful.

"Isn't this simply because the Soul Master lacks sufficient control over their own Martial Soul?"

Huo Yuhao immediately perked up and looked at Long Aotian.

He knew that the old man who couldn't kill poison was a real spendthrift, and his disciple Long Aotian wasn't much worse.

Long Aotian tensed up as soon as he saw that everyone's eyes were on him.

"Well, I was just saying. The martial spirits in our sect are all body-based martial spirits, which is why we constantly train soul masters to control their own martial spirits. This might not be suitable for beast-type martial spirit soul masters."

"Although this Senior Sister Xiaotao's performance sounds like a Soul Master's lack of control over her own Martial Soul, it is ultimately not her original Martial Soul, so it is hard to say whether that is indeed the case."

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe and Huo Yuhao could no longer listen to anything else, and looked at Long Aotian with great enthusiasm.

Huo Yuhao had already begun rummaging through his storage soul tool to see what good things he could exchange for some of Long Aotian's techniques on martial soul control from the Body Sect.

Huo Yuhao felt that the money was well spent as long as it could help Ma Xiaotao.

"Yuhao, it's not that serious. If you want to hear what I have to say, then do not take out your things."

Long Aotian quickly pressed Huo Yuhao's hand down: "If you feel embarrassed, Yuhao, you can cook some dishes yourself tonight. I haven't had your grilled fish for three years, and I've been really craving it."

"This is not appropriate."

Huo Yuhao still wanted to find some good things for Long Aotian, but Long Aotian's martial soul was a skin, and he was incredibly strong. He had already broken through level 60 at the age of less than fifteen, and his talent might even be a step above Ma Xiaotao's. Huo Yuhao's strength was indeed not as great as Long Aotian's.

"It's not exactly precious knowledge anyway, and besides, it's just a training method within our Body Sect. Whether it's suitable for Senior Sister Xiaotao is another matter, so why bother?"

After much earnest persuasion from Long Aotian, Huo Yuhao finally gave up his plan to give Long Aotian some good things in exchange.

"Then, Brother Aotian, shall we excuse ourselves?"

Huo Yuhao stood up and asked.

As the saying goes, the law should not be passed on lightly. Huo Yuhao's ability to learn other people's skills in the midst of battle is due to his own abilities, but it would be disrespectful to listen to others preach without their permission.

"Absolutely not necessary!"

Long Aotian quickly pulled Huo Yuhao to sit down.

This was also one of the tasks that Du Bu Si gave to Long Ao Tian.

Why didn't Huo Yuhao want to come to the Body Sect? According to Du Busi's analysis, it's probably because he lacks a sense of belonging and has deep feelings for Shrek Academy.

This is a good thing; it shows that Huo Yuhao values ​​loyalty and friendship.

However, this also gave Du Bu Si a headache, because even if he forcibly brought Huo Yuhao over, it would only mean that Huo Yuhao's body was in the Body Sect but his heart was in Shrek Academy, which was a poor strategy.

Therefore, in order to help Huo Yuhao understand the Body Sect as quickly as possible and develop a sense of belonging to it, Long Aotian came to Shrek Academy not only as a hostage and to learn some advanced martial soul knowledge from Shrek, but also with the mission of making Huo Yuhao feel as much goodwill and curiosity towards the Body Sect as possible.

Whenever Long Aotian had nothing to do, he would whisper various secrets of the Body Sect in Huo Yuhao's ear. When Huo Yuhao asked, he would say that these were just minor secrets of the Body Sect and there was no need to keep them a secret. After hearing them so many times, Huo Yuhao would eventually become curious about the Body Sect.

Now that Long Aotian has just met Huo Yuhao, he has found a good opportunity to instill the Body Sect's secrets into Huo Yuhao's mind. How could he let Huo Yuhao escape?

Once Huo Yuhao's mind is filled with the skills of the Body Sect, and his first martial soul is still the Body Sect martial soul, even if Huo Yuhao doesn't admit that he is a member of the Body Sect, he has in fact become a member of the Body Sect.

"The advantage is in my hands!"

Upon returning to the Heavenly Soul Empire's Body Sect headquarters, Poison Undying revealed a profound and enigmatic smile.
