Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 58 Dark Elf Forest

After Jing Hongchen left, the elders who were present in the Sea God Pavilion's conference room did not leave, and the atmosphere in the conference room was solemn.

"Sect Master, entrusting the ultimate cultivation method to Jing Hongchen is like raising a tiger to cause future trouble. Once Huo Yuhao grows up rapidly, he will definitely become a formidable enemy of Shrek Academy!"

One of the elders present spoke up.

Although it wasn't Xuanzi who spoke, he clearly agreed with the statement, but he had been reprimanded too much by Mu En today and dared not speak again.

Moon sensed the atmosphere in the meeting room; clearly, everyone except himself was dissatisfied.

Mu En did not comment on this, but simply said, "Call Le Xuan here," and then closed his eyes to rest.

Mu En's instructions were naturally carried out by others. Seeing this scene, the elders in the room naturally felt the atmosphere becoming increasingly oppressive, not understanding what Mu En was thinking.

"Master, you wanted to see me?" Zhang Lexuan arrived quickly.

"Le Xuan, please sit down."

Mu En gestured for Zhang Lexuan to sit down; as a member of the Sea God Pavilion, she was naturally entitled to sit there.

"Xuanzi, tell Lexuan what happened today," Mu En instructed Xuanzi after seeing Zhang Lexuan sit down.

Xuanzi dared not be negligent and recounted in detail the transaction between Jing Hongchen and Mu En.

"Say your argument again that you're raising a tiger that will cause you trouble."

After Xuanzi finished speaking, Mu En addressed the elders.

Looking into Mu En's unyielding golden eyes, the elder who had spoken earlier repeated what he had said to Mu En at the beginning.

"Le Xuan, is there anything you want to say?"

Moon's tone remained unchanged from beginning to end.

"Sect Master, Le Xuan believes you did the right thing."

"Tell me more about it."

"I believe that while the ultimate cultivation method is important, it is not some closely guarded secret. Huo Yuhao of the Sun Moon Empire will not be hindered in his future achievements even without this method. Jing Hongchen wants to exchange for this method simply to accelerate this process, and the three level-nine soul tools he offered are also very sincere."

"Le Xuan believes that we are not actually in control of this matter. The secret technique is not something that Jing Hongchen absolutely needs. Since Jing Hongchen has taken the initiative to speak up, we should seize the initiative. If Jing Hongchen no longer needs this secret technique, then its value is zero until we encounter the next ultimate Soul Master."

"It's not bad to exchange it for resources that are beneficial to us now. As for what the elders said about raising a tiger to cause trouble, there's no need to mention it. Even without the ultimate cultivation method, it can only barely slow down Huo Yuhao's cultivation speed, and it won't play a decisive role."

"Huo Yuhao's rise to power is inevitable. It is the wisest choice for us to make some moves at this time to help the development of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department."

Zhang Lexuan calmly analyzed the situation, leaving the assembled elders speechless.

To become a Grand Elder of the Sea God Pavilion, one must have been immersed in the path of Soul Master cultivation for many years; conservatism is the most fitting characteristic of them.

Or rather, a lack of ambition.

"That's right, Lexuan."

Mu En nodded in agreement with Zhang Lexuan's words.

Zhang Lexuan is the youngest Soul Douluo in Shrek Academy's ten thousand years of history. Even he admires her talent, and she is also able to see the situation clearly. Currently, Shrek Academy's strength is not superior.

If it weren't for his lack of seniority, Zhang Lexuan would be very suitable to succeed him as the Sea God Pavilion Master after his passing. However, Zhang Lexuan is not yet able to control these elders.

"Sect Master, there is something I don't understand, and I would like to ask for your guidance."

Zhang Lexuan spoke up.

"What is it?"

Mu En did not understand Zhang Lexuan's doubts.

"Sect Leader, why not ask Huo Yuhao to help resolve Xiao Tao's evil fire problem? During the last competition, Huo Yuhao's Extreme Ice sealed Xiao Tao's evil fire accumulated over the years, removing most of it. If it can be completely resolved, Shrek Academy will no longer need to worry about Huo Yuhao's Extreme Ice."

Zhang Lexuan expressed her doubts.

"Huo Yuhao may not be able to solve Xiao Tao's problem. The seal of the ultimate ice only dissipated her pent-up evil fire."

"Besides, Jing Hongchen will never agree to this request. We can only wait until Huo Yuhao comes to the inner courtyard to cultivate before making any plans."

Mu En did not intend to give up using Huo Yuhao to help Ma Xiaotao, but he could not tell Jing Hongchen directly.

The Sun Moon Empire would never want to see another ultimate Soul Master emerge from Shrek Academy.

"Disciple understands."

Zhang Lexuan nodded thoughtfully. Although she was intelligent enough, she was still far less experienced than an old fox like Mu En. However, everyone has experience, and with a little training, Zhang Lexuan would definitely be an outstanding leader.

It seems that things won't be peaceful for Huo Yuhao after he arrives at Shrek Academy. It won't be easy for him to cultivate peacefully under the tutelage of these old monsters.

……

The negotiations with Poseidon Pavilion have come to an end.

Huo Yuhao and his group arrived at the outskirts of the Dark Elf Forest.

It was a consensus among all soul masters that they could not fly over the gathering place of soul beasts. Under Xi Xiuran's deliberate control, they landed.

"Elder Xi, is this the Dark Elf Forest?"

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

Huo Yuhao asked.

"That's right, according to the map, this is the Dark Elf Forest."

"Dark Elf Forest, what an intimidating name. But it doesn't seem like anything special."

The speaker was Ju Zi. Although she was from the Sun Moon Empire, she had obviously never been here before.

"Alright, Senior Orange, let's go inside first. The soul beast I want is quite strong, so it shouldn't be living on the outer perimeter. Let's not waste time outside."

Huo Yuhao reminded Ju Zi.

Ju Zi needs to acquire her fifth spirit ring. According to the optimal spirit ring combination, she needs to hunt down a ten-thousand-year spirit beast. However, a large part of Ju Zi's strength improvement comes from medicine, so her physical condition is not strong, and absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring may be dangerous.

Moreover, as a Soul Master, she doesn't have any requirements for Soul Rings, so her goal for this trip is to obtain a thousand-year Soul Ring.

Even thousand-year-old soul beasts are not weak in cultivation, and they also do not inhabit the outer areas.

Huo Yuhao did not forget Xuan Ziwen's instructions and took out the detection soul tool that had been given to him from his spatial soul tool.

A spherical object then appeared before everyone.

This soul tool is quite large, with a fan-shaped transparent glass panel on the upper part of its spherical shape, which houses the cockpit of the soul tool and can accommodate four people.

The hatch was opened, and Huo Yuhao and the other three entered together.

"All-terrain detection soul guide device, Professor Xuan Ziwen is in charge of developing the new detection soul guide device."

Huo Yuhao began to introduce Meng Hongchen and Elder Xi.

As a student of Teacher Xuan Ziwen, Orange needs no introduction.

The soul tool is covered with a strange coating that changes color depending on the environment.

When placed on the ground, it blends into the color of the earth.

Ju Zi was the main pilot, Elder Xi was responsible for injecting soul power into the soul tool to charge it, and Huo Yuhao activated the mental detection sharing to provide Ju Zi with a terrain map.

Dreaming of the mortal world, while being responsible for sightseeing.

As soul power was injected, the spherical soul tool slowly extended six mechanical legs and pierced into the ground, looking like a spider from the outside.

"Let's go!"

Orange shouted, showing her excitement, as she rarely ventured out on adventures.
