Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 69 Huo Yuhao and Qian Daoliu's Trick (25 words per day)

Huo Yuhao naturally knew how to manipulate the other party's psychology. He quickly put all the paper and pen into his storage soul tool and gave a simple and honest smile: "Hehe, I was just joking with you, old man. You can just write me a recommendation letter for admission. A recommendation letter personally written by the dean will sound very prestigious."

The white-haired old man then realized that he had once again underestimated the young man in front of him. In just a few minutes of sitting down, the young man had already obtained everything he wanted, and he couldn't even be angry with him. He even had to willingly write him a letter of recommendation for school admission.

As I stepped into the main room and took my seat in the main seat with the air of an elder, the kid innocently offered me a drink. I said I wanted to see the boy's martial spirit, and he waited for me to state my conditions before lowering them. Not only could I not get angry, but I even felt that the boy knew how to behave.

Moreover, with just a few actions from this young man, the initiative in the conversation had unknowingly shifted to the other party, making the white-robed elder feel even more that this young man was troublesome.

This kid probably only had a letter of recommendation for college admission in mind from the beginning. After all, no matter how good the other party's relationship with Wang Yan was, asking someone to write a letter of recommendation would still mean owing the other party a favor. Since that's the case, he might as well just ask me, the sucker who has once again delivered himself to his door.

The old man in white quickly interrupted his thoughts after thinking for a moment. How could he possibly be a sucker? But this kid was quite the smooth talker. "A recommendation letter personally written by the Dean sounds very prestigious." It was really surprising that this kid could say such glib words.

"You little rascal"

The white-robed elder hesitated for a moment, then nodded, agreeing to Huo Yuhao's proposal and getting the price he wanted. Huo Yuhao didn't linger, raising his head to look at the white-robed elder. A pale golden light shone in his eyes, and at the same time, two illusory golden flames seemed to leap in Huo Yuhao's eye sockets.

In those golden eyes, an indescribable sense of holiness was revealed. The white-robed elder suddenly felt as if he were suffocating. He tried to release his martial spirit, only to find that under the gaze of those golden eyes, even releasing his martial spirit had become incredibly difficult!

How is that possible? My martial soul is the Phoenix of Light, a rare top-tier martial soul on the entire Douluo Continent. How could it be suppressed by a mere physical martial soul to the point that I can't even unleash it?

Although his Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul was not an ultimate Radiant Martial Soul, it was still only one step away from the ultimate Radiant Soul. How could he possibly feel a tremendous sense of worship in those golden eyes in front of him?

The old man in white suddenly understood what Ma Xiaotao meant by "wilted." It wasn't an exaggeration, but a genuine description. In front of those eyes, he and his martial spirit wilted almost simultaneously, like eggplants that had been hit by frost.

Before Huo Yuhao's eyes, the white-robed elder sensed two extremely magnificent energies: one was the limit of light, a sacred power that seemed to be the embodiment of the will of heaven; the other was as scorching as the blazing sun, making it impossible to look directly at.

With difficulty, the white-robed elder averted his gaze from Huo Yuhao's, swallowing hard.

"Are you kidding me? A spirit-type martial soul, with extreme light and extreme fire attributes? Are you sent by the heavens specifically to deal with me and Xiao Tao, this unfortunate master and disciple?"

The old man was completely unable to contain his shock, muttering to himself, "I can't understand it, I really can't understand it."

How can a spirit-type martial soul possess both ultimate light and ultimate fire attributes at the same time?

"Kid, what kind of spirit beast did you absorb for your first spirit ring?"

The old man in white had a serious expression on his face.

"Um, I can't quite remember, it was something like a 150-year-old wind baboon that died peacefully in its old age."

Huo Yuhao looked around, clearly not intending to tell the truth. The white-robed elder stared at the pale yellow first spirit ring that floated up beneath Huo Yuhao's feet, looking at it from all angles. This color indicated that it could only be a spirit ring with a lifespan of about 150 years. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Since that's the case, kid, would you like to become my student? My sect is in dire need of a promising talent like you. I can guarantee you the status of a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department and all kinds of cultivation resources. Even if you want a 100,000-year soul ring, that's difficult, but I can persuade the other elders to help you catch one."

The old man in white had undisguised joy in his eyes. Although he didn't know why Huo Yuhao, a spirit-type martial soul, had two extreme attribute energies, he didn't care. Such a good seedling, if he didn't make a move now, when would he?

"But."

Huo Yuhao hesitated, which startled the white-robed elder. He wasn't afraid of anything else, but he was afraid of Huo Yuhao's hesitant attitude. The more impressive the kid's act, the more it proved that he was going to rip off a big one.

"Grandpa Dean, actually I personally prefer the Soul Guidance Department. Brother Ning Ge said I have great potential in Soul Guidance Devices and that I could even become a Level 7 or 8 Soul Guidance Master in the future."

As soon as Huo Yuhao cast the fishing hook, the old man in white immediately took the bait.

"Seventh and eighth level Soul Masters are nothing. Even if you tie three or five of them together, they still can't beat a Title Douluo. Little Huo, don't lose sight of the bigger picture."

The old man in white began to earnestly persuade Huo Yuhao, fearing that the other party might have a change of heart and actually choose the Soul Guidance Department.

After all, the spirit-type martial soul is naturally compatible with the soul-guiding type. If Huo Yuhao were discovered by the soul-guiding type, he would have to argue with those old guys until they were red in the face.

"But Grandpa Dean, I really enjoy making soul tools! Making soul tools is so much fun!"

Huo Yuhao remained unmoved, while Qian Daoliu was currently offering him advice.

According to Qian Daoliu's observation, this old guy is extremely anxious right now, so Huo Yuhao doesn't need to name a price at all; this old guy will proactively reveal his bottom line.

"You like making soul tools... No problem, you can make soul tools in the Martial Soul system. If you want, just nod and I'll go back and prepare a special experimental table for you."

Just as Qian Daoliu had predicted, Huo Yuhao didn't need to offer a price; he only needed to show that he had no interest in the Martial Soul system.

"But if I join the Soul Guidance Department, I'll have access to a dedicated lab table and be able to learn advanced techniques from the department's professors."

A barely perceptible wavering appeared in Huo Yuhao's eyes, a wavering emotion that was immediately and accurately captured by the white-robed elder.
