Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 553 Starting a Family and Building a Career? (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

Mu En slowly opened his eyes, his gaze towards Huo Yuhao filled with endless love and sighs.

"Yuhao, birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order of things. Don't waste your time. I'm already very pleased to see you grow up. Long Xiaoyao would be extremely envious if he knew I had such a close disciple like you. I've lived a very fulfilling life."

Moon's slightly relaxed voice rang out: "Keep the rest of the pills. They're life-saving. Don't waste them on me. Even if you bring them back, I won't take them."

"teacher!"

Huo Yuhao was immediately thrown into a panic.

Mu En's tone hardened: "Yuhao, take it back. Your future path will be difficult, and you need these more than I do. Besides, even after the teacher chose to return to the tree, his soul could still stay in the Golden Ancient Tree for a few more years, which is already quite good."

Mu En patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement.

"teacher"

Huo Yuhao felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his chest, his heart heavy, and he didn't know what to say.

"Alright, alright, go on, go do what you should be doing, instead of wasting your time on this old geezer."

Mu En waved his hand, intending to send Huo Yuhao away.

"Teacher, I will definitely find a way. It may not work now, but that doesn't mean it won't work in the future. I will definitely find a way."

Huo Yuhao stood up and said to Mu En with unwavering determination.

Upon hearing this, Mu En grinned and said, "Alright, I'll remember. If you want to visit me in the future, just come to the Golden Ancient Tree. Xuanzi, you guys come in too."

Huo Yuhao was taken aback when he heard this. He turned his head and saw that Elder Xuan and the others had been waiting outside for a long time. However, they had given Huo Yuhao the first chance to visit Elder Mu.

"Yuhao's contributions to Shrek Academy are immense. I'm too lazy to count them all; everyone probably has their own opinion, right?"

A smile played on Moon's face as he slowly spoke.

Everyone, including Elder Xuan, nodded. Just as Mu En said, Huo Yuhao's contributions to Shrek Academy were so great and numerous that they were too many to count and no one knew where to begin.

"Huo Yuhao".

Mu En turned to look at Huo Yuhao, who immediately stood up from the stool.

"Teacher, I'm here."

Mu En nodded, his tone becoming serious: "From this day forward, you will be one of the prospective elders of the Sea God Pavilion, with a status equivalent to that of Changlong, who is also a prospective elder. Once your strength breaks through to the Title Douluo realm, you will automatically be promoted to one of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion."

"At the same time, from this moment on, as the current Sea God Pavilion Master, I hereby designate you as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master. Whenever you break through to the Title Douluo level, you will directly ascend to become the sole successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master. Does anyone have any objections?"

Moon's remaining half-sentence was, of course, addressed to the other people.

Huo Yuhao was taken aback. What did it mean to be a prospective successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master?

That means he has officially entered the preliminary list of candidates for the Sea God Pavilion Master. Moreover, as long as he breaks through to the Title Douluo realm, when the Sea God Pavilion Master steps down at that time, he will be the only successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master, and there will be no competitors.

Assuming he breaks through to the Title Douluo level before Mu En returns to the tree, even Elder Xuan would automatically lose his status as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master, making Huo Yuhao the only choice!

"Teacher, how can this be? I..." Huo Yuhao said anxiously, then looked to everyone for help, only to be met with a helpless expression. Elder Xuan was even more amused, clearly hoping that Huo Yuhao could take on the main responsibility as soon as possible.

"teacher!"

This time, Huo Yuhao called out to Qian Duoduo and Yan Shaozhe, not Mu En. Logically speaking, if Elder Xuan were to step down after decades as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, one of his two teachers should be the rightful head of the Sea God Pavilion.

"Yuhao, we're afraid we can't count on you anymore. We two old folks are really counting on you to take the lead."

Qian Duoduo laughed heartily, patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, and Yan Shaozhe's face was also full of relaxation.

Yes, once Huo Yuhao, this monster among monsters, breaks through to the Title Douluo level, Shrek Academy will probably have another pillar of strength like Elder Mu, a pillar that can support the sky and the sea.

After all, Huo Yuhao's ability to defeat opponents of higher levels is undeniable. He has defeated top students from Shrek Academy or other prestigious universities. When he was level 11, he chased after Xu Sanshi, who was level 29, and when he was in his 30s, he beat up Xixi, who was in her 50s.

Not long ago, he, as a mere Soul King, unleashed a powerful attack that lasted a full minute, completely overwhelming Long Xiaoyao, who was also a level 99 Limit Douluo like Elder Mu. The aftershocks of the explosion almost killed Super Douluo Zhang Peng.

Once Huo Yuhao breaks through to the Title Douluo level, who knows how much his combat power will inflate!

"Yuhao, whether Duoduo and I can retire early in the future depends on you, kid."

Yan Shaozhe smiled and ruffled Huo Yuhao's hair, leaving Huo Yuhao helplessly looking at his master's wife, Xian Lin'er.

Xian Lin'er shrugged: "Yuhao, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department is already very busy, so don't count on me. As for your master's wife, don't even think about it. She and Elder Zhuang are already working hard enough to set up the Treasure Pavilion in our academy. You wouldn't want to add to her burden, would you?"

"what?"

Huo Yuhao stood there stunned. How come all the people present who were qualified to inherit the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master were elders he couldn't command?

But no matter what, the position of Sea God Pavilion Master shouldn't be his so soon!

Seeing Huo Yuhao's stunned expression, everyone, including Mu En, let out good-natured laughter.

"Elder Mu, am I not qualified?"

Huo Yuhao racked his brains and finally came up with a reason to refuse.

"Not qualified?"

Elder Xuan immediately turned to Huo Yuhao and said, "Who said you're not qualified? Ask any of the elders here. With your contributions to the academy, do you have the qualifications? I can tell you with certainty that, in terms of contributions to the academy, no one here, including myself, can surpass you."

"Well, it's still a bit early in terms of timing, isn't it?"

As for the speed at which he would break through to the Title Douluo level, Huo Yuhao was quite confident. With the support of his second martial soul, he would break through to the Title Douluo level no later than forty years old.

It was completely inappropriate for him to inherit the Sea God Pavilion at that time!

"Got it!"

Qian Duoduo chuckled strangely: "Settling down and starting a career, Yuhao wants to settle down first and then start a career."

Yan Shaozhe and the others nodded in agreement.

No, what do you guys know?!

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened.
