Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 71 Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan

After Jing Hongchen finished speaking, he gestured for Huo Yuhao to leave, as he needed to leave Mingde Hall again.

Huo Yuhao left with deep doubts. He was unaware of the undercurrents within the Sun Moon Empire and couldn't quite grasp Jing Hongchen's meaning for the time being.

After racking his brains to no avail, Huo Yuhao temporarily gave up thinking about it. He believed that Jing Hongchen would not harm him, and that was enough for him.

After leaving the secret chamber of Mingde Hall, Huo Yuhao returned to his room and took out the ultimate cultivation method that Jing Hongchen had given him.

Huo Yuhao obtained his third spirit ring from a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast, so the spirit ring replenished a great deal of his spirit power.

However, due to the extreme attribute of Ice Soul Power, the enhancement granted to him by this ten-thousand-year-old Soul Beast is only equivalent to the boost provided by a thousand-year-old Soul Beast to an ordinary Soul Master.

Huo Yuhao's current soul power is about level 32. A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast only raised his soul power by two levels at the level 30 cultivation threshold.

"It seems that the ultimate martial soul really does slow down one's cultivation."

Huo Yuhao gave a wry smile.

Although he was somewhat prepared, he did not expect the constraints of the ultimate martial soul to be so great.

Judging from this situation, a 100,000-year-old soul beast wouldn't provide him with much of a boost.

However, inversely proportional to the cultivation speed of an ultimate martial soul is its strength.

"Based on my current strength, excluding the influence of soul tools, I should be able to compete with a Soul Master who possesses an ordinary or even slightly stronger martial soul."

Compared to the less-than-ideal cultivation speed, Huo Yuhao was very pleased with the power of his ultimate martial soul.

"Let's see what's so amazing about Shrek Academy's ultimate cultivation technique."

After examining his own physical condition, Huo Yuhao looked eagerly at the secret technique that Dean Jing Hongchen had exchanged with Shrek Academy.

This is a cultivation secret method that Shrek Academy summarized from the only three ultimate soul masters in ten thousand years. They themselves have not even used it yet, but unexpectedly it has benefited Huo Yuhao first.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao smiled wryly.

It's not my fault. Who told you to have such close ties with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion? Otherwise, you might have really gone to Shrek with Brother Beibei and Sister Xiaoya.

Thinking of his old friends, Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart. Although Shrek Academy had a bad reputation, Brother Bei and Sister Xiaoya were still very kind people.

Even if they become enemies in the future, I cannot lay a hand on them.

Huo Yuhao secretly made up his mind.

Stopping his wild thoughts, Huo Yuhao slowly composed himself and began to carefully study this ultimate cultivation secret technique.

While Huo Yuhao was immersed in Shrek Academy's cultivation techniques, a real student at Shrek Academy was feeling rather depressed.

Tang Ya, who had once shown kindness to the weak Huo Yuhao, sat alone by the Sea God Lake at Shrek Academy, her mind filled with mixed emotions.

"Xiaoya, what are you thinking about?"

The person who spoke was Jiang Nannan. Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan were roommates and had a very good relationship, just like Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.

Unfortunately, Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi's fate was completely different from Tang Ya and Bei Bei's.

"Nannan, you're about to enter the inner academy to study, right?"

Tang Ya said dejectedly that with her talent, it was impossible for her to enter Shrek Academy's inner court.

"Yes, we need to go to the inner academy for further study and do our best to prepare for the next Soul Fighting Tournament."

Jiang Nannan's mood became somewhat heavy when the matter was brought up.

Huo Yuhao and his sister Hongchen from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy displayed such strength in the previous Soul Master Competition that even Jiang Nannan, a rare genius from Shrek Academy, felt immense pressure.

"Yes, you all need to focus on your cultivation these next few years, so I can't stay here and disturb you any longer."

Tang Ya's mood became even more depressed. Looking at the boundless Poseidon Lake in front of her, her eyes revealed reluctance, but also a hint of determination that no one else could detect.

If someone with a wealth of experience could see Tang Ya's gaze, they would understand that what would guide her next move was not the obvious reluctance, but rather a subtle, unwavering determination.

She's leaving.

"Xiaoya, don't say that. Even if we can't enter the inner courtyard, you'll still be my friend for life. Didn't we make a promise? After we graduate from here, I'll join your Tang Clan, and we sisters will build it together!"

Jiang Nannan gently comforted Tang Ya. Tang Ya's martial soul was not outstanding, and in a place like Shrek Academy where geniuses gathered, Tang Ya suffered a great blow.

Jiang Nannan, a genius soul master and her roommate, always stayed by her side, giving her the greatest help. The two had a very good relationship.

"Thank you, Nan Nan."

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

Upon hearing Jiang Nannan's offer to help her rebuild the Tang Clan, Tang Ya's gloom instantly dissipated, but the determination in her eyes grew even stronger.

"By the way, Nan Nan, what do you think of Huo Yuhao from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? What kind of person is he now?"

Tang Ya seemed to have regained her usual talkativeness, and pulled Jiang Nannan aside to talk about Huo Yuhao.

"I think he's a pretty good kid. He plays a big role in the Sun and Moon team, and I can feel it. His teammates treat him very well, just like we do."

"His strength is also very strong. Before he met us, he even concealed his innate dual martial souls. If it weren't for saving his teammates who were threatened by Senior Sister Xiaotao, he would have kept it a secret. If that had happened, we would have suffered a great loss in the next competition."

"He even killed Senior Dai Yueheng in front of Elder Xuan. I could tell he didn't originally intend to do it; he was just enraged by Elder Xuan's appearance. He's a stubborn guy."

Jiang Nannan rattled off a long list of things. Huo Yuhao was indeed the person who left the deepest impression on her in the previous competition, and also the person who left the deepest impression on all the audience and contestants.

Tang Ya listened quietly to Jiang Nannan's evaluation. She was not angry because of Dai Yueheng's death. She did not know Dai Yueheng at all and had no feelings for Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy could have prevented the Tang Sect's destruction by sending even a single outstanding inner court disciple, but they didn't.

This matter will forever remain a source of regret for Tang Ya.

"His stubbornness hasn't changed at all. Nan Nan, do you know, when I first met him, he was a Soul Master without any Soul Rings, yet he actually wanted to enter the Star Dou Great Forest alone!"

"Moreover, I still remember his grilled fish skills; it was really good, and I really want to eat it again."

"I even invited him to join the Tang Clan back then. When he heard that the Tang Clan had profound martial arts techniques, he was originally going to agree, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his mind and rejected me."

Tang Ya had a very good impression of Huo Yuhao, but she still had some reservations about him not joining the Tang Sect.

Seeing Tang Ya become happier, Jiang Nannan's mood gradually improved as well; Tang Ya's smile always had an infectious quality.

Tang Ya was always grateful to herself, unaware that her smile was also soothing her own wounds.
