Douluo Continent: I Have a Diverse Order-Taking Platform

"They're here."

"Yes, it's here."

Outside Xingluo City, Liu Yuan was riding on horseback. And the one he was talking to was undoubtedly Huo Yuhao.

The latter's eyes were red; she had just finished crying.

Liu Yuan glanced at it.

"What? You can't bear to part with your mother?"

"Yes, I'll miss it."

Huo Yuhao's voice was slightly nasal, "But my mother insisted that I go to Shrek Academy. She said that only in this way could I repay her kindness and help my father when I grow up."

Liu Yuan: "..."

Huo Yuhao's mother is really love-struck.

Is this the power of the Love Continent?

This is truly terrifying!

Amidst his感慨 (feelings of deep emotion), Liu Yuan asked a question in return.

So what's your own opinion?

"I don't really care!" Huo Yuhao said firmly, a hint of resentment in his eyes. "I don't acknowledge him as my father! My surname is 'Huo,' not 'Dai'!"

Seeing this, Liu Yuan said no more. He simply pointed to another horse that was still grazing and said, "Get on the horse, I'll take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls."

Then, under the sunlight,

Two horses galloped off into the distance, leaving everyone else in the dust.

……

A few days later, at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Brother, I think I hear the sound of water."

Huo Yuhao, on horseback, pricked up his ears. Upon hearing the sound of flowing water, the fatigue from the bumpy ride vanished, and he turned to seek Liu Yuan's opinion.

"How about we find a place with water to rest for a bit, and maybe get something better to eat while we're at it? What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan's eyes lit up.

"OK."

He dismounted, demonstrating his agreement through action.

Although he wasn't the type of person who indulged in culinary pleasures, he was really tired of eating dry rations after a few days.

Furthermore, Yuhao's cooking skills are indeed excellent, almost like the aphrodisiac added to the dishes in Food Wars!

So after releasing the two horses, Liu Yuan and his companion followed the sound of flowing water and found a stream.

Watching the swimming fish, Liu Yuan simply pointed a finger, and several willow branches transformed into harpoons. With precise targeting, he speared quite a few bluefish ashore.

This move was Liu Yuan's third soul skill:

Myriad transformations!

Willow branches can be transformed into any inanimate object, with corresponding effects, except for things like soul tools.

Based on,

He also developed many original soul skills.

After setting up the stove, Huo Yuhao cleaned the bluefish with the White Tiger Dagger returned by Liu Yuan.

Before long, the bluefish gradually turned golden yellow, and a special aroma began to waft out from above the fire, which was extremely tempting.

Once the first fish is cooked,

"Brother, you eat first."

Huo Yuhao immediately handed it to Liu Yuan. Liu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and took a bite.

Ah!

It still tastes the same, truly authentic!

"Yuhao, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

"hey-hey…"

Huo Yuhao smiled shyly at the praise.

But at that moment, Liu Yuan suddenly turned around, which immediately alerted Huo Yuhao.

"Come out, I've already noticed you."

As he spoke, Liu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

It seems my assessment of Huo Yuhao's grilled fish was absolutely correct, even underestimated. This is like a spring... no, it should be said, like a concept-level weapon; it can lure others over.

Is it Tang Ya?

Or is it Beibei?

"I'm sorry..." A petite girl peeked out from the woods. Although she wasn't particularly beautiful, she had a delicate and pleasing appearance.

Liu Yuan: ? ? ?

Who is this?

Which random passerby?

Although he was puzzled, it didn't stop him from teasing her. He waved the grilled fish in his hand and said, "Little girl, you were attracted here by the smell of the grilled fish, weren't you?"

The moment she was exposed, the girl blushed instantly. Then she responded softly, in a voice barely audible, like a mosquito's buzz.

But at this moment,

"I apologize for bothering you two."

Suddenly, the trees behind the little girl shook.

Immediately afterwards, a towering figure slowly emerged from within. Compared to the petite little girl, this man was worlds apart.

At this moment, Liu Yuan had already stood up on high alert.

At the same time, he shielded Huo Yuhao behind him.

Because he hadn't sensed the man's aura, this person's strength was definitely above that of a Soul Emperor.

"Greetings, senior."

The man waved his hand.

"Hehe, don't be nervous."

She glanced at Liu Yuan and Huo Yuhao with a smile, but silently ignored the latter, saying, "Judging from your age, young man, you should be participating in Shrek Academy's recruitment, just like my daughter."

Despite this, Liu Yuan remained wary, saying, "We are indeed the new generation of Shrek."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the man was surprised.

He looked at Huo Yuhao and, after confirming that he was only a level 10 Soul Master, kindly offered his advice.

"Young man. I don't know if you know, but Shrek Academy's admission requirements, besides a letter of recommendation from the city lord of the main city, also include having level 15 soul power."

"But this young man..."

"Thank you for your trouble, senior." Liu Yuan cupped his hands in greeting. "Although my younger brother's cultivation is low, once he obtains his first soul ring, reaching level fifteen will be a natural progression."

Upon hearing this, the man instantly understood. So, the progress of acquiring the spirit ring was being suppressed; no wonder…

"I guessed wrong."

During their brief greetings, the young girl and Huo Yuhao gradually became acquainted.

Seeing a little girl eyeing the grilled fish, Huo Yuhao felt embarrassed to refuse and offered her one.

Seeing this, the man smiled slightly.

"Xiao Xiao, why don't you thank this young man?"

Xiao Xiao blushed.

He took the grilled fish apologetically and said, "Thank you."

Xiao Xiao?

Upon hearing this familiar name, Liu Yuan glanced at the girl out of the corner of his eye.

It seems that although Yuhao's grilled fish aroma didn't lure Tang Ya and Bei Bei over, it did attract Xiao Xiao, a girl of the same age.

As time passed, the man took his leave with Xiao Xiao. But before leaving, he kindly asked, "Young men, would you like me to take you hunting for spirit rings?"

"No need to trouble you, senior."

Liu Yuan politely declined.

If I go with Xiao Xiao and her father, what will happen if Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ilex show up?

"Fine."

Although it was a pity, the man didn't insist. After exchanging a few polite words, he turned and left with Xiao Xiao.

After watching Xiao Xiao and her father leave, Liu Yuan said to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, it's time for us to set off too."

There was no way around it; Yuhao's grilled fish smelled too good. If we stayed any longer, who knows what else might pop up?

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Yes."

After quickly dealing with the flames, Liu Yuan led Huo Yuhao away in the opposite direction.

Sure enough, not long after they left.

"Shh..."

The trees rustled, and a man and a woman emerged from them.

One of the women looked around, puzzled, and said, "I clearly smelled the fragrance right here, so why is it gone now?"

"Alright, Xiaoya."

The man, Beibei, said with a hint of helplessness, "Let's go hunt for your soul first."

Tang Ya's beautiful eyes widened, and she said angrily:

"What did you call me?"

Beibei immediately raised her hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Okay, Ms. Xiaoya, is that alright now?"

Tang Ya rolled her eyes at him.

"That's more like it." Then, reluctantly, he sniffed the lingering fragrance in the air before saying:

"Let's go, let's keep going!"

……

at the same time,

On another path leading into the forest, Xiao Xiao reluctantly threw away the grilled fish stick and asked in confusion, "Dad, why did you say you wanted to help them hunt souls?"

"Of course, it's because that young man in the lead is no ordinary person." Mentioning Liu Yuan, Xiao's father felt a surge of emotion. "He's only eleven years old and already at level thirty-three; his future is probably limitless."

Eleven years old, level thirty-three!?

Xiao Xiao stared in astonishment, her mouth agape.

I'm only level 20!

Seeing his daughter's surprised expression, Mr. Xiao chuckled, "What's wrong? Are you upset?"

"A little..."

A hint of hesitation flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes. "Dad, maybe I should still get three spirit rings."

Upon hearing this, Xiao's father immediately stopped in his tracks.

He regretted it.

I shouldn't have told my daughter those things.

Earlier, when Xiao Xiao left home, she had already proposed that in addition to obtaining the second spirit ring of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, she also wanted to obtain the first spirit ring for Nine Phoenixes' Arrival, in order to enhance her competitiveness at Shrek Academy. Left with no other choice, Xiao's father had to agree.

Who would have thought that things would get even worse now!

When Xiao's father wanted to dissuade him, but didn't know how to start, a sudden inspiration flashed in his mind, and the image of the child who wanted to obtain the first soul ring appeared.

Got it!

"Xiao Xiao, listen to me. Actually, your Nine Phoenixes Come to Court Xiao doesn't even need to acquire a spirit ring; you're already very competitive. Look, that kid who's only level ten just now—even he dared to enter Shrek Academy without any worries. So what are you worried about?"

Xiao Xiao: "..."

That makes a lot of sense.

Then how about we just forget about it?
