Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 415 Fast Track to Cultivation (10,000 words per day)

During their time back at Shrek Academy, nothing much happened.

Wang Dong's soul ring absorption went much more smoothly than Huo Yuhao's, and his soul power level jumped to level 42.

After working for almost half a month, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong finally solved the big problem of the spirit ring. Without saying a word, they tacitly slipped back to their dormitory, drew the curtains shut, and slept soundly for a long time.

When Huo Yuhao woke up again, it was already past two in the morning. Pushing open the dormitory door and strolling under the starlight, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that everything is moving in a positive direction?

"Yuhao, come to the Sea God Pavilion. I have something to tell you."

Moon's voice suddenly rang out from the Sea God Pavilion.

"Yes, teacher."

Huo Yuhao quickly crossed the Sea God Lake and headed towards the Sea God Pavilion.

Moon was still the same as when he left, lying kindly on the recliner, looking at him with a smile.

"Mr. Mu, it's two in the morning, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Huo Yuhao entered the Sea God Pavilion, circulated his soul power, and went behind Elder Mu to give him a massage.

Mu En seemed to enjoy this, squinting his eyes as he savored Huo Yuhao's massage.

"As people get older, their sleep becomes lighter and they sleep less, haha."

Moon replied with a smile.

Huo Yuhao sighed silently in his heart. Sleep is the most important way for people to restore their energy, but now Elder Mu is even sleeping less, which means that Elder Mu's time may really be running out.

Who doesn't need sleep? Of course, it's someone whose lifespan is nearing its end, someone who's only clinging to life by sheer willpower.

Seemingly sensing the somber atmosphere within the Sea God Pavilion, Moon spoke first, changing the subject: "It seems you've had a great success this time?"

Mu En waved to Huo Yuhao, signaling him to stop pressing and come sit down next to him.

"If my eyesight isn't failing me, that should be the Dark Gold Terror Claw right metacarpal bone on Wang Dong's right hand?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Not only that, Wang Dong and I also absorbed the spirit rings of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast. The spirit beast I absorbed was a Thousand-Pound Ant King, which gave me a very interesting spirit skill. Besides that..."

"Wow, that's quite a haul."

After listening to Huo Yuhao's explanation of what had happened, Mu En sincerely praised him.

"An imperial auspicious beast, it's actually the imperial auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. You little guy, you've really kept things well hidden. You've got a soul beast doing things for you, and indirectly, you've got a ferocious beast doing your research. You really surprise me."

"It's mainly thanks to the fruit you gave me that I got the most out of it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be realistic for me to ask the Three-Eyed Golden Lion for help with something without even asking."

Upon hearing this, Mu En laughed heartily: "I was planning to have you give that fruit to Wang Dong, but now that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion has eaten it, you'd better worry about it yourself."

After teasing Huo Yuhao for being such a blockhead, Mu En said seriously, "Yuhao, from now on, you must enter a period of rapid growth."

"To possess both twin martial souls and a top-tier main martial soul, or even an unprecedented number of ultimate martial souls, not only signifies a bright future, but also a greater responsibility."

"Don't rush to resolve the ultimate dark power within your second spirit. You are different from those evil spirit masters. You might be able to incorporate the ultimate dark power into your own power. The first spirit is ultimate light and fire, and the second spirit is ultimate ice and darkness. This is not unfounded."

"Although it sounds unbelievable, if you want to embark on the path to becoming a god at level 100, you must be more outstanding than all the other geniuses, so outstanding that all the other geniuses will despair."

"Two years from now, you and Cai Tou will be going to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as exchange students for a two-and-a-half-year study period. At the same time, the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen will also be coming to our Shrek Academy."

"Your performance in the previous competition was too outstanding. I'm worried that someone with ulterior motives might try to take advantage of you. So you must learn to hide your strengths. The future is yours, but after all, it's not your time yet."

"Your teacher hopes that before the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, you will have the strength to stand on your own and become the pillar of Shrek Academy's new generation."

"My time is running out."

"Teacher, your health..."

Huo Yuhao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He wanted to try to help Moon extend his life, but in practice, he encountered far more obstacles than he had imagined.

It wasn't just the physical damage that shortened Moon's lifespan, but more so the damage to his soul.

A strange, malevolent aura swirled within Mu En's body, constantly harming his soul and body in ways that no amount of life force could salvage.

The moment the repairs were completed, the malevolent energy immediately began to corrode a large area of ​​the surface, proving difficult to eradicate.

To eradicate the evil energy is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even Mu En, who was at the Limit Douluo level, had difficulty expelling and refining it, and could only suppress it with great difficulty. Could Huo Yuhao, who was only at the level of thirty-something, possibly have a way to do so?

At least some of the practical treatment methods he discussed with Electrolux on the way back were beyond his current cultivation level to implement.

Often, things are beyond human control.

Perhaps the only thing that can solve Moon's predicament is that legendary herb—the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red.

But let alone immortal herbs, Huo Yuhao has never even seen a rare natural treasure that is over 50,000 years old.

"It's alright, my decaying old body can still hold on for a few more years. I won't feel at ease until I see you lead the team to win the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament again."

Old Mu smiled and shook his head.

"Don't rush, Yuhao. Your hard work has reached its limit. Too much of a good thing is bad. Your current cultivation progress has far exceeded my expectations."

"Starting today, you will stay here with Wang Dong and me to cultivate for three days. Then you can go to the Soul Guidance Area and find Duo Duo to cultivate with the Soul Guidance Device for three days. After that, Wang Yan will provide you and Wang Dong with one day of theoretical guidance."

"It's a seven-day cycle with no rest days. You don't need to go to the Foreign Languages ​​Department for now; the upgrade assessment and courses there are a waste of your time."

"As for Wang Dong, ask him if he's interested in spending some of his free time cultivating with Shao Zhe. His Goddess of Light Butterfly Martial Soul should gain a lot of insights by cultivating with Shao Zhe."

"As for you, you can visit Shao Zhe when you have time, but there's no need to study. His Bright Phoenix Martial Soul isn't an ultimate attribute, and I'm worried he might teach you something wrong."

Huo Yuhao was secretly pleased. He understood Mu En's implication: that Dean Yan's martial soul wasn't of the ultimate attribute and therefore couldn't teach him, he was worried that if he spent too much time with Dean Yan, he would be led astray by the secret techniques of the true body shared by Long Aotian.

"Then I'll go and tell Wang Dong first."

Huo Yuhao didn't expose him and left in a flash.
