Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 486 Don't Drop Out Now! (Daily 10,000 words)

Seeing Ji Juechen's disappointed look, Huo Yuhao chuckled inwardly. Serves you right, kid, always trying to block me with a watermelon knife.

Wang Dong's Dark Gold Terrorclaw external bone is a genuine right metacarpal bone. Its destructive power is second only to the attack of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. It is not the ultimate gold, but it is not far off. Even his own tungsten steel katana or Wind Mantis Giant Shadow Slash cannot withstand it head-on, let alone a watermelon knife.

Ji Juejian's sword is all about unwavering, invincible sword intent. Therefore, once the sword is drawn, the offensive will never change.

Ji Juechen really ran into trouble today. Against most opponents, his unstoppable sword intent could help him overpower them, but he couldn't block Wang Dong's Dark Gold Terror Claws at all and could only dodge them.

Even when Huo Yuhao faced Wang Dong's attack, he had to temporarily avoid its sharp edge and find an opening when Wang Dong made his move to deal with him.

Ji Juechen, however, was not quick-witted and could only blame his bad luck for losing a watermelon knife.

With his weapon gone, Ji Juechen could only look pitifully at Jing Ziyan. Seeing the ill intentions in Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's eyes, Jing Ziyan wisely surrendered and threw away her Explosive Nine-Section Whip.

They came to spar, not to get beaten up. Although sparring often involves getting beaten up, it's different from simply getting punched!

Although they wisely chose to surrender temporarily, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan were not discouraged. On the contrary, the gleam in their eyes revealed their extreme excitement.

Being able to fight against strong opponents is one of the things they love, and it is also one of the fundamental motivations that has enabled them to grow to this level.

Having fought with the other Shrek Academy experts besides Huo Yuhao for a while, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan were both curious about the powerful Wang Dong. At this time, Wang Dong was unaware that he had already been targeted by two battle maniacs.

Through Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, the two men truly saw what a truly powerful Soul Master should be like, something they could hardly access within the Mingde Hall.

The two knew that the soul masters trained by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were the two extremes compared to the soul masters of Shrek Inner Academy. However, they had heard Huo Yuhao mention during their casual conversation that students of Shrek Inner Academy had already begun to be required to learn how to use soul tools.

What does a truly powerful Soul Master look like when paired with a Soul Tool?

When Huo Yuhao sparred with the two, he basically didn't use soul tools except for the Wind Mantis Giant Shadow Slash, so the two didn't have a chance to really witness it.

But it is precisely because I haven't seen it that I yearn for it even more.

The two exchanged a knowing glance, and finally Ji Juechen walked over.

"How many people this strong are there in the Shrek Clan?"

Ji Juechen's blunt question startled Wang Dong, who blinked at Huo Yuhao, as if to say, "Is this guy always so direct?"

Huo Yuhao could only shrug helplessly and give Wang Dong a look that meant he would get used to it.

"There are probably around sixty or seventy people left? Their strength varies, but the fluctuations won't be too significant."

"Jing Ziyan and I will go with you."

After Ji Juechen finished speaking, he immediately prepared to drop out of school, but fortunately the two of them reacted quickly enough and were stopped by the two guys.

"You two, wait a minute, what are you doing?"

"Drop out of school, what else can you do?"

Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan spoke in unison.

Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "Even if you drop out, you have to wait until we return to Shrek Academy. Are you two going to drop out now and live under a bridge at Shrek Academy?"

"Oh, right!"

The two of them left truly dejected. For at least a year, they would have to stay in this boring Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, unable to spar with sixty or seventy powerful experts.

It wasn't until this moment that Wang Dong belatedly realized what was going on: "Wait, you've already kidnapped two top students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? One of them is a Level 6 Soul Master, and the other is clearly a high-level Soul Emperor who isn't simple at all!"

Wang Dong smacked his lips, marveling at the sight.

"Let's not talk about these two pests anymore, they're bad luck."

Huo Yuhao said it was bad luck, but he couldn't stop smiling. He suddenly turned around and hugged Wang Dong tightly again.

"I really didn't expect that you, who never writes a letter in a year, would actually come over so quietly. But I'm very happy about it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's body went weak, but she still pretended to be disgusted and broke free from Huo Yuhao: "Alright, alright, you've given me enough of a hug. Take me inside for a look around."

"No problem."

Without saying a word, Huo Yuhao grabbed Wang Dong's hand and walked into the academy. After registering his information with the gatekeeper, he swaggered in.

"Is the Sun Moon Royal Academy so lax in its management? I thought I wouldn't be able to get in."

Wang Dong couldn't help but marvel.

Huo Yuhao chuckled: "The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy allows family members to visit. We'll just fill out a family member form for you, won't we?"

Wang Donglan blinked her big pink eyes, a bad feeling suddenly rising within her: "What did you fill in?"

"Oh, father and son, what else could they be?"

Huo Yuhao replied calmly, "Aren't we father and son without blood ties? Here, take this New Year's red envelope."

Huo Yuhao took out a gold soul coin, but before he could hand it over, Wang Dong raised his dark gold claw.

"Huo Yuhao, you deserve to die!"

After some playful banter, Huo Yuhao, who had been looking at the densely packed mission log, felt a significant weight lifted from his shoulders. He could deal with the Conferred God Platform later; Wang Dong had come all this way, and he couldn't just leave him hanging.

They had arrived at the dormitory, opened the door, and led Wang Dong inside.

Huo Yuhao closed the dormitory door, pulled over a chair, and pressed Wang Dong down into it, saying, "Sit down first. I'll tidy up a bit. I've always lived alone before, so I haven't paid much attention to cleaning."

"No need, do I have that many fuss over?" Wang Dong said with a smile.

Huo Yuhao nodded seriously to him, but in the end he couldn't help but laugh, "Yes."

Wang Dong was furious. "Then you can pack up. I was actually going to help you."

Huo Yuhao said, "Alright, I can do it myself." As he spoke, he immediately got to work.

Just as he himself said, he was the only one here on weekdays, and as an exchange student, no teacher would come to check whether his dormitory was clean and tidy.

There weren't many clothes or anything like that in the room. But all sorts of soul tool parts and experimental logs were scattered everywhere, making them easy to grab, look at, and put away. There was practically no room to step.

Taking into account Wang Dong's germaphobia, he hurriedly started tidying up. Fortunately, there are magical things like storage soul tools in this world, so tidying up wasn't too difficult.
