Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 83 Xu Tianzhen's Invitation

After finishing his battle with Ji Juechen, Huo Yuhao calmed down the turbulent soul power within his body.

With Shrek Academy's ultimate cultivation secrets as an aid, his cultivation progress was not slow at all. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Soul Master realm and obtaining his fourth Soul Ring.

Ji Juechen is also at a bottleneck. They both need a ten-thousand-year soul ring, so perhaps they can agree to hunt soul beasts together.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao spoke to Ji Juechen:

"Old Ji, when do you think you'll be able to break through? I'm almost at my bottleneck too. How about we go hunt some soul beasts together?"

"it is good."

Ji Juechen's answer was very concise, as always.

Huo Yuhao knew Ji Juechen's personality; answering with only one word did not mean he was unwilling.

After receiving Ji Juechen's affirmative answer, Huo Yuhao grinned and prepared to leave.

At that moment, a girl stood up from the stands of the trial arena and walked straight toward the two of them.

"Hey, when you guys go, could you include me?"

The girl's voice was clear and crisp, exuding a carefree spirit that seemed quite different from her gentle appearance. She was none other than Princess Sun and Moon, Xu Tianzhen.

Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen looked at her at the same time. Neither of them recognized this girl with a gentle face, but whose voice and figure were quite different.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has about 10,000 teachers and students. It's impossible for Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen to know them all, but there should be very few teachers and students who don't know them.

One represented the academy in the Soul Fighting Tournament, and the other was a well-known battle maniac in the academy.

However, they rarely interacted with others, and the two men couldn't immediately figure out where this beautiful girl had come from.

"Who are you?"

Huo Yuhao asked.

"My name is Xu Tianzhen. I just watched you guys fight. You're pretty strong. It would be a lot of fun to team up with you. We won't have any teachers with us when we go out. We'll rely on the strength of the three of us. I'm also a Soul King, just one Soul Ring away."

"How about it? Interested in teaming up with this princess to hunt soul beasts?"

Xu Tianzhen's words revealed the excitement of an adventurer. Although she was a princess, she disliked the luxurious and elegant life in the palace.

She loved adventure, but unfortunately, her father and brothers protected her very well, so she rarely had the chance to go on adventures.

"Princess?"

Huo Yuhao secretly pondered the identity of the girl in front of him. She must have been sent by His Majesty to inform him to collect his reward. Otherwise, he had never heard of a princess studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Princess Naïve is joking. You are of noble status, how can you take such a risk? If anything happens, we two cannot bear the responsibility."

Huo Yuhao politely declined Xu Tianzhen's request; it was definitely a huge problem, and he couldn't be bothered to take it on.

"Tch, boring. So timid, I really don't know why Father Emperor always praises you so much in front of me."

"It's boring, it's boring."

Xu Tianzhen had come to Huo Yuhao with great enthusiasm, but Huo Yuhao's rejection made her extremely irritated, and she waved her hands repeatedly.

Xu Tianzhen desperately longed for a real adventure, without any followers or protection, just herself or her companions.

However, her status as a princess made it difficult for her to fulfill this wish.

Huo Yuhao saw that Xu Tianzhen's mood had plummeted, but he didn't care about her dissatisfaction with him.

Huo Yuhao could see that Xu Tianzhen longed for adventure, but the princess's status was indeed extraordinary. Although the daughter of an emperor was fortunate, there were some things she was destined not to do.

Although Huo Yuhao looked reluctant at the moment, he would soon have to figure out how to sneak away with Xu Tianzhen under heavy protection.

Of course, this is something.

"Is there something you need, Princess?"

Huo Yuhao desperately wanted the emperor's reward, but Xu Tianzhen kept quiet about it, so he couldn't help but ask directly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianzhen looked at Huo Yuhao with an extremely resentful gaze, making Huo Yuhao feel uneasy.

Xu Tianzhen came here because her father, the Emperor, had sent her to find Huo Yuhao. The Emperor had recently regained his vitality, and she could hardly believe that her father was so lively and energetic.

Is this still that aging lion?

After much questioning, Xu Tianzhen finally learned that it was a Soul Master named Huo Yuhao who had restored her father's health.

She came here because her father had decided on a reward for him and wanted her to bring him into the palace.

She was initially very grateful to the man who had saved her father, but his unwavering rejection still made her extremely unhappy. Moreover, he insisted on taking her to receive her father's reward, which naturally made her feel somewhat resentful.

"The Innocent Princess?"

Huo Yuhao cautiously called her name.

"Hmph, Father Emperor sent me to bring you into the palace. Come with me."

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

Feeling resentful, Xu Tianzhen abandoned her earlier friendly demeanor and said sullenly.

Huo Yuhao naturally understood the source of her unhappiness, and felt rather helpless. "I dare not meddle in the affairs of your royal family."

He then followed in her footsteps.

Ji Juechen was also involved, but he didn't say a word. He only had eyes for the sword and Huo Yuhao. As for Xu Tianzhen, he couldn't care less. Whether or not she was in the team hunting soul beasts, Ji Juechen didn't care at all. Huo Yuhao was enough.

Heads down, Xu Tianzhen led Huo Yuhao to the emperor's palace again. At the entrance, Xu Tianzhen suddenly stopped.

"Thank you for helping my father recover from his illness."

She quietly expressed her gratitude to Huo Yuhao.

As she walked along, most of her anger dissipated. From childhood to adulthood, she had wanted to take risks countless times and had been rejected countless times. She wouldn't be any different from Huo Yuhao this time.

Besides, Huo Yuhao had saved her beloved father, so she knew she shouldn't be angry.

"Yuhao's opportunity is a blessing from heaven and earth. His Majesty is worried about the country and the people and has fallen ill from overwork. Heaven and earth are grateful for His Majesty's painstaking efforts for the people, which is why Yuhao is able to help His Majesty. It is Yuhao's honor."

Huo Yuhao made no mention of his own contributions, only emphasizing the emperor's achievements.

After Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Xu Tianzhen felt extremely relieved. Her gloomy mood vanished, and a bright smile returned to her face. She was an optimistic girl who didn't like to dwell on troubles.

"I forgive you, come in."

With a beaming smile, Xu Tianzhen easily pushed open the door and generously invited Huo Yuhao inside, as if it were her own home.

Seeing Xu Tianzhen's smiling face, Huo Yuhao smiled knowingly. He was glad that she hadn't held a grudge against him; he was really too clever.

Upon entering, Huo Yuhao saw Xu Leye engrossed in writing at his desk, completely unaware that someone had come in.

With his astonishing eyesight, Huo Yuhao saw that the emperor was dealing with some urgent imperial matters.

Looking at the mountain of files on his desk, Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly. He had only recently recovered, and his first thought was not to have fun, but to firmly grasp the power of the empire.

A great and powerful ruler.
