Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 82 Xu Tianzhen

"Hahaha, Minister Huo, what the Master of the Red Dust Hall gave you is his share, and what I want to give you is my share. They cannot be confused."

Xu Leye laughed heartily. With both opportunity and wisdom, who wouldn't admire such a young talent?

"Yuhao thanks Your Majesty for your kindness."

Having said all that, it would be inappropriate to refuse now, especially since Huo Yuhao never intended to refuse in the first place.

What I just said was just polite talk; it was full of feigned reluctance. The emperor couldn't just refuse and then refuse outright.

Huo Yuhao was merely stating an opinion: I have absolutely no intention of taking credit for anything.

"Alright, Minister Huo, you should go back and rest first. Once I've made a decision, I'll send someone to inform you. I promise I won't let you down."

After expressing his gratitude once again, Huo Yuhao and Jing Hongchen left together.

After the two left, Xu Leyue began to discuss with Kong Deming the major events that had occurred in the empire during the period when he was not in charge of the country.

As for the rewards from Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, they will certainly be given, but not now; they should be distributed together with Huo Yuhao's reward.

Huo Yuhao returned to the academy late at night, and Jing Hongchen took him directly back to his dormitory.

It has to be said that when Huo Yuhao declined the reward, Jing Hongchen was deeply moved. It was worth it to treat this kid well!

"Yuhao, get some rest."

After giving Huo Yuhao his instructions, Jing Hongchen left.

Should I marry my dream off to this kid? I'm finding him more and more pleasing to the eye.

As she left, Jing Hongchen pondered the possibility of marrying her granddaughter to Huo Yuhao.

Jing Hongchen's affection for Huo Yuhao was even somewhat comparable to that for Xiao Hongchen, who was his own grandson.

After a busy day, Huo Yuhao also felt a bit tired, especially since his mental energy had been greatly depleted. At this time, sleeping was the best way to restore his mental energy.

Huo Yuhao washed up hastily in a daze and then lay down on the bed and fell fast asleep. Before he lost consciousness, he was still thinking that extending the emperor's life was in line with the exchange principle that Elder Yi had warned him about. He just wondered what good things His Majesty would reward him with.

I had a good night's sleep.

Huo Yuhao slept in very late the next day. He hadn't had such a comfortable sleep in a long time; he used to spend every night cultivating.

No one came to see him today. The Emperor's reward wouldn't be coming down anytime soon, and Ji Juechen should be in seclusion right now. Huo Yuhao could arrange his own time.

The previous battle with Ji Juechen had put him into deep meditation for three months. He had just promised Teacher Xuan Ziwen that he would spend three hours every day practicing his soul tool, but he didn't manage to do so the next day.

"Plans really can't keep up with changes."

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself and decided to go to Professor Xuan Ziwen's laboratory to practice and develop soul tools.

Huo Yuhao arrived at Xuan Ziwen's laboratory with ease. As usual, Xuan Ziwen was carefully studying the core magic array engraved on a piece of metal.

Huo Yuhao didn't interrupt, walked to a test bench, took out a piece of metal, and began the practice that should have started three months ago.

Xuan Ziwen was not dissatisfied with Huo Yuhao's three-month absence. Deep meditation was unavoidable, and it was even an opportunity for Huo Yuhao. Xuan Ziwen naturally didn't say anything. It's good that he's back now.

A few days later, Ji Juechen emerged from seclusion, and Huo Yuhao's life gradually returned to normal.

He spends three hours a day learning and developing soul tools from Xuan Ziwen, occasionally asking Xuan Ziwen questions about his creative concepts. After all, he can't forever imitate the soul tools developed by others. To become a senior soul tool master, he must innovate and have his own unique style.

During breaks, Huo Yuhao would stroll around the campus with Meng Hongchen, but because the academy was so large and Huo Yuhao didn't have much time to rest, it would take them quite a while to see everything, a fact that Meng Hongchen constantly complained about.

This relaxed and balanced life made Huo Yuhao feel very happy, especially the way Meng Hongchen was all smiles and laughter with him one moment, and then her eyebrows furrowed the moment she heard that he was going to cultivate.

He never gets tired of watching it, no matter how many times he watches it.

Besides that, he sparred with Ji Juechen almost every day, but the sparring sessions were usually very short.

When sparring with Ji Juechen, Huo Yuhao found that many weapons were not suitable for him. Later, he became too lazy to look for more and simply used his fists to fight Ji Juechen.

In any case, the path they pursue is not the sharpness of weapons, but the fusion of their own spiritual will and soul power.

Ji Juechen's newly mastered sword technique was extremely powerful. In their first encounter, Huo Yuhao was instantly defeated, utterly powerless to resist.

Deep meditation greatly increased Ji Juechen's mental strength. Inspired by the fusion of Huo Yuhao's spirit and soul power, Ji Juechen's soul power, spirit, and will were perfectly integrated. Previously, he could only integrate a portion of his will and mental power into the sword. This enlightenment allowed him to unleash his full power.

Ji Juechen's three powers merged to form a domain.

After Ji Juechen activates his domain, he will enter a state in which his power will gradually rise to the limit he can reach.

After the attack, Ji Juechen would be exhausted, as he had poured all his power into that one strike.

He named the domain "Silence".

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

Sword fanatic's domain: solitude.

When deeply trapped within the domain, under the pressure of Ji Juechen's mental will, the opponent will find it difficult to move and can only watch helplessly as his power rises to its peak and then strikes down.

When Huo Yuhao first clashed with Ji Juechen, he was unable to move due to the pull of Ji Juechen's aura and almost took the full force of Ji Juechen's attack.

Even Huo Yuhao couldn't resist that power; it was only because his responsible and impartial teacher blocked it for him that he was unharmed.

That was the power of a full-force attack from someone approaching the Soul Saint level who had activated their Martial Soul True Form.

Ji Juechen's ability to unleash such an attack with a Soul King cultivation level below level 60 makes him an absolute genius in anyone's eyes.

In the subsequent battles, Huo Yuhao tried every means to prevent Ji Juechen from accumulating power to its peak before forcing him to make a move, so that he could barely hold on.

However, under such immense pressure, Huo Yuhao's soul power soon increased by another level, reaching level thirty-nine.

Ji Juechen, having not focused on cultivating his martial soul, still had his soul power at level 59, but judging from his aura, he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

After all, his cultivation method ensures that even without deliberately increasing his soul power, his soul power will steadily improve.

This kind of life lasted for nearly twenty days, and Huo Yuhao really enjoyed this simple yet fulfilling life.

However, one day, after Huo Yuhao's battle with Ji Juechen ended, a girl came to the academy looking for him.

The girl had fair skin, long, flowing black hair that reached her waist, and innocent eyes; she was a stunning beauty no less beautiful than Meng Hongchen.

Unfortunately, her personality wasn't as gentle as her face, and at fifteen, her breasts weren't as developed as Meng Hongchen's.

Her name is Xu Tianzhen, and she is the youngest daughter of the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire.
