Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 5 Dream of the Mortal World

On his second day at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Huo Yuhao still got up early. He had developed the habit of getting up early very early, which was one of the essential virtues for poor children.

After becoming a student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Huo Yuhao received a monthly stipend of 20 gold soul coins. This was enough for him to live on, and there was no need for him to work to earn such a meager reward. He would rather spend his time cultivating.

However, having just arrived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Huo Yuhao decided to wander around and familiarize himself with the environment. As for cultivation, a little more time wouldn't make a difference.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is very large. Huo Yuhao wandered around for a whole morning and still hadn't even explored a fifth of the academy.

As noon approached, Huo Yuhao prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch. Yesterday, Jing Hongchen told him that a high-level Soul Master would be coming to accept him as a disciple this afternoon, and Huo Yuhao was very much looking forward to seeing who it would be.

Arriving at the cafeteria, as the highest institution of learning in the Sun Moon Empire, although the entrance examination standards are not low, there are still many people with the ability to study here.

The fact that Huo Yuhao's story yesterday alarmed the academy dean and was personally reviewed by him is still only circulating among a small group of people. Therefore, not many people in the cafeteria recognize Huo Yuhao. But at this moment, a girl with long wine-red hair walked straight towards Huo Yuhao.

"You're Huo Yuhao, the one who alarmed my grandfather yesterday?"

The girl with long, wine-red hair was extremely beautiful, and her crystal-blue eyes made her face look incredibly lively. She appeared to be a few years older than Huo Yuhao; at this age, girls are just beginning to develop, and their breasts are starting to grow quite well. This made the girl appear exceptionally beautiful, and her words shocked those around her.

"She is Meng Hongchen, the granddaughter of Dean Jing Hongchen. She's only 13 years old this year, and I've heard she's already reached the Soul Master level. Such a cultivation speed is truly rare in our Sun Moon Empire!"

"I also heard she has an older brother, Xiao Hongchen. He's about the same age as Meng Hongchen, but his cultivation speed is even more astonishing; he might already be approaching the Soul King level!"

"Such terrifying cultivation, and such a young age. He'll definitely be able to represent my Sun Moon Empire in the next Continental Youth Soul Master Tournament!"

"Ha! More than that. In my opinion, by next year's Soul Master Competition, the siblings' strength will be no less than that of the official participants! It's just that they are too young. They should wait five more years to train and participate in the next competition. That way, my Sun Moon Empire might really be able to defeat Shrek Academy."

Hearing the whispers around him, Huo Yuhao roughly understood who the girl in front of him was.

"It's just that the dean appreciates talent. Compared to Miss Meng Hongchen, my talent is nothing," Huo Yuhao said, trying to avoid trouble.

Who knows what kind of temperament this pampered young woman has? If she's the type who can't stand anyone being better than her, and I say something arrogant that she takes as a provocation, then I'm doomed. I've heard from others that this girl has the strength of a Soul Master. With my current level of just entering the Soul Master realm, if we fight, I'll definitely be in serious trouble. It's best not to invite trouble upon myself.

Meng Hongchen frowned slightly; this was not the answer she wanted. Her grandfather's grand welcome to a new student at the academy gate yesterday had certainly piqued her curiosity. The most talented person she had ever seen was her brother, Xiao Hongchen.

Whether it's Soul Master cultivation or Soul Instructor cultivation, her brother's talent is unparalleled. Meng Hongchen knew that even with her brother's talent, it was impossible for him to cause such a stir among her grandfather. So how could she not be curious when she saw Huo Yuhao in the cafeteria today?

"I don't believe it. You must have something extraordinary about you! I know my grandfather best. If you weren't exceptionally talented, he would never have personally tested you."

When Huo Yuhao heard Meng Hongchen say that, he knew that he couldn't escape it so easily.

"Show me the talent that shocked my grandfather yesterday. I also want to know, what exactly made you able to join my Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?"

"Alright then," Huo Yuhao said helplessly.

A golden light flashed slightly in Huo Yuhao's deep blue eyes, and a white spirit ring rose from beneath his feet.

Seeing the white spirit ring, Meng Hongchen was even more shocked and became increasingly curious about what abilities this kid possessed.

Spiritual exploration, spiritual sharing!

"Shared Mental Detection!"

Huo Yuhao released two soul skills at the same time, projecting every detail of the scenery within a 30-meter radius into Meng Hongchen's mind.

"this……"

Meng Hongchen was also very surprised to see what appeared in her mind.

She finally understood why her grandfather valued this seemingly ordinary boy so much. This ability was practically a divine skill of a Soul Master!

The most difficult part of crafting a soul tool is undoubtedly inscribing the core array. As a level four soul tool master, carving the core array involves countless subtle details, which is arguably the most agonizing aspect. The complexity of the core arrays in even more powerful soul tools is enough to make Meng Hongchen dizzy just thinking about it.

With Huo Yuhao's amazing shared mental detection ability, one can accurately display the details of surrounding objects. If Huo Yuhao could assist while carving the core array, the carving efficiency would be immeasurably higher. Even higher-level soul tools might be worth trying.

Not to mention the immense power his abilities would unleash when using certain soul tools! No wonder Grandpa values ​​him so much.

Thinking of this, Meng Hongchen suddenly looked at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was observing her behavior when she suddenly glanced at him, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"Ahem, Huo Yuhao, you're a freshman at the academy. Freshmen inevitably get bullied by some self-important old folks. As for you, my grandfather personally approved your admission. If anyone bullies you, come find me. I'll teach them a lesson for you." He then brandished his fist to demonstrate his strength.

Huo Yuhao was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this. It seemed that Meng Hongchen was just a little temperamental like a typical young girl, not as arrogant as he had thought.

"Alright, Miss Meng Hongchen, please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can help you with," Huo Yuhao said just as righteously.

"Hehe." Meng Hongchen chuckled to herself. She'd taken the bait. That's exactly what I was waiting for!

"Alright, alright, I certainly won't be polite. Don't try to refuse later, or I'll go to my grandfather for judgment!"

Fearing that Huo Yuhao might change his mind, Meng Hongchen brought up Jing Hongchen to "threaten" Huo Yuhao.

"No, if Miss Meng Hongchen needs any help, Yuhao will definitely not refuse."

"That's good, I knew you wouldn't dare." With that, he left the cafeteria.

After finishing his lunch, Huo Yuhao went to the first teaching building to wait for the teacher Jing Hongchen had mentioned yesterday.
