Douluo: Huo Yuhao Returns from Devouring the Stars

For a time, several powerful men in the top combat circle of the Sun-Moon Empire all accepted Huo Yuhao's kindness and promised to help Huo Yuhao with all their might as long as he needed them!

Although a lot of immortal herbs and precious fruits were collected during the trip to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, Kong Deming only gave away a few immortal herbs and seven or eight precious fruits in preparation for emergencies. He preserved the remaining hundreds of immortal herbs and hundreds of precious fruits using advanced soul guides, and told Huo Yuhao that if he needed them, he could just go to him and get them, even though Huo Yuhao himself had quite a few top-level immortal herbs and precious fruits on him.

At the same time, upon learning that Huo Yuhao and Hong Chen had returned with Kong Deming, Prince Xu Tianran, who had a keen political sense, appeared at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy in time to express his condolences and commendation to the Sun Moon Royal Team.

The many media outlets called by Xu Tianran praised Huo Yuhao and the others' performance in the competition with lavish words. Of course, the theme was "His Royal Highness Crown Prince Xu Tianran visits the champion team of this competition - the Sun-Moon Royal Team!" They also exaggerated Xu Tianran's visit, trying their best to portray him as a person who loves the country and the people, suitable for the position that symbolizes supreme authority.

After the visit, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy returned to peace, and Huo Yuhao and his sister Hong Chen also devoted themselves to cultivation and study.

In a short period of time, Huo Yuhao passed the fourth-level soul engineer assessment and the fifth-level soul engineer assessment in succession, officially becoming an unprecedented super soul engineer genius in the history of the Sun Moon Empire!

For the sake of Huo Yuhao's safety, the fact that Huo Yuhao passed the fifth-level soul engineer assessment was not announced. Only Kong Deming, Jing Hongchen, and the Hongchen siblings knew about this.

On the second day after passing the fifth-level soul engineer assessment, in order to relax their bodies and minds, Huo Yuhao and his sister Hong Chen took their "equipment" and went for a picnic in the jungle on the outskirts of Mingdu.

When Jing Hongchen learned that Huo Yuhao and the Hongchen siblings were going to team up for a picnic, he actually said several times, "Picnics are great, we have to have a picnic..."

Although Lao Deng listed several benefits of picnics, what he was actually thinking about was that this would improve the relationship between Huo Yuhao and Hongchen, especially the relationship between Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen, whom he was particularly concerned about...

At first, when Huo Yuhao invited Xiao Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen was reluctant to go. After being discovered by Jing Hongchen, he persuaded Xiao Hongchen with a "hateful iron but not steel" attitude. Xiao Hongchen, who was stimulated by the fact that Huo Yuhao had passed the fifth-level soul engineer assessment and had been burying himself in the research of soul guides in the exclusive manufacturing room day and night, finally hung his head and accompanied Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen on a picnic.

"Yuhao, I didn't expect you to pass the Level 5 Soul Instructor assessment so quickly, breaking my record. Sigh, comparison is really frustrating."

Xiao Hongchen lay on the lawn with his head in his hands, feeling uneasy and almost bursting into tears.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said in an intriguing tone: "Xiao, don't panic. When I become a six-ringed Soul Emperor, we will take the sixth-level Soul Instructor exam together."

Xiao Hongchen glanced at Huo Yuhao and said bitterly, "Ah, the wounds of betrayal never heal. Didn't we agree not to break my record, so that I could sit firmly on the throne of the empire's greatest soul engineer genius for a thousand years?!"

Meng Hongchen looked at the two people playing on the grass and couldn't help but smile. She began her unique way of comforting them: "Laugh, Yuhao is the number one genius of all time, but it doesn't affect your number one genius of all time at all!"

Xiao Hongchen scratched his head and thought: "Meng, although what you said makes some sense, it doesn't seem to make sense. After all, Yuhao seems to be overshadowing me now. I'm no longer the most dazzling genius..."

"Hurry up and get some firewood. If you keep up the pace, the sun will set." Meng Hongchen kicked Xiao Hongchen and muttered.

Xiao Hongchen glanced at Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao, rubbed his chin, and thought to himself, "Why does it feel like the relationship between Yuhao and Meng is a little tricky? Could it be that the picnic is just a cover for them to have fun? Hiss, what's become of that buddy?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Thinking of a certain possibility, Xiao Hongchen shook his head violently, not daring to think too much and hoping that it was all an illusion.

"Since you invited me to have a picnic today... ahem, since Yuhao has to cook a big meal for me today, I won't bother with you for now." Xiao Hongchen, who almost revealed his true thoughts, hurriedly walked towards the jungle to hide his embarrassment.

After Xiao Hongchen disappeared into the jungle, Huo Yuhao looked at Meng Hongchen, whose face was slightly red, and whispered, "Could Xiao have discovered something?"

Meng Hongchen covered her face, stole a glance in the direction of Xiao Hongchen, and punched Huo Yuhao coquettishly: "Hurry up and prepare the food, it's getting dark."

Huo Yuhao smiled, stood up, and went with Meng Hongchen to wash the ingredients in the stream beside the grass. After the meat such as the soft-bone rabbit and the black spirit pig's trotters were prepared, Xiao Hongchen appeared at the edge of the jungle with dry firewood.

"Why do I feel like Yuhao and Meng are quite... well-matched? Yuhao has a very good character, and like Meng, he's a peerless genius..."

Looking at Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen chatting and laughing by the stream, Xiao Hongchen was stunned for a moment before suddenly coming to his senses: "Huh? How could I have such an idea?!"

Xiao Hongchen shook his head, carried some dry firewood and walked to the stove and grill. He sat on the grass and watched Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen washing vegetables, spices, etc.

After washing the vegetables, Huo Yuhao began to grill and stew pork.

Soon, the golden and greasy roast meat and the stewed meat that was so soft and fragrant that it could not be melted were ready.

The three of them sat on the grass, enjoying the cool breeze and began to feast on their food. After they finished eating, they lay on the grass, chatting and laughing, enjoying this rare leisurely moment.

In the evening, the sky is filled with red sunset glow. The setting sun casts a faint golden glow on the earth. The mountains, rivers and seas seem to be covered with a thin layer of warm yellow gauze.

The evening breeze was gentle, the grass and trees were swaying, and after relaxing for the whole day, the three of them returned to the academy in the sunset.

early morning.

It was gray outside the window, and the drizzle was like a silver-gray sticky spider silk, crossing the dim sky and creating slight ripples in the puddles on the ground.

After practicing all night, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes and looked at the drizzle outside the window. He woke up and then went to wash up.

After washing, he began today's genetic energy training. As his physical fitness increased dramatically, the amount and rate of his absorption of cosmic energy increased a lot.

Due to refining the immortal grass that can enhance mental power and absorbing the spiritual soul bones and soul rings, Huo Yuhao's mental power has been rapidly improved. His current mental power level is at the peak of the advanced general level, only one step away from the god of war level!

However, this one step still requires a lot of time and energy to complete. After all, the huge gap between the War General level and the War God level is there, and it is not something that can be crossed just by wanting to. In addition to the huge gap in realm, the scarce cosmic energy on Douluo Star is also a major obstacle to his rapid advancement in mental power.

His mental power was able to be raised to the peak of the advanced general level, and a large part of the reason was due to the improvement in the form of "taking drugs". Now that "taking drugs" has little effect, he can only rely on practice to advance to the war god level.

In addition to the rapid improvement in his mental power level, his warrior level has also made a breakthrough and has now reached the peak of the advanced warrior level. As the amount and rate of his body's absorption of cosmic energy increases, his warrior level should be able to be improved rapidly in the short term.

Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the balcony of the training room with his five hearts facing the sky. After entering a state of meditation, he officially began today's genetic energy training.

Cosmic energy is an elusive existence. Unlike the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it cannot be gathered by mental power to accelerate cultivation. Therefore, Huo Yuhao can only rely on his body to absorb the thin cosmic energy between heaven and earth as before.

Soon, the cosmic energy between heaven and earth "hissed" into his body from the soles of his feet, palms, and Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, and was converted into genetic energy after passing through the mitochondria of his body cells. These genetic energies not only transformed the genes of his body cells but were also stored in his body like soul power.

Part of the cosmic energy entered his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness through his brain, and was transformed by the source of spiritual power that was hanging high above his sea of ​​consciousness and slowly rotating like a star, forming a spiritual power that was of the same nature as spiritual power but higher than spiritual power.

After practicing his mental power, it was nine o'clock. Huo Yuhao went to the cafeteria to have breakfast and then went to find Xuan Ziwen to learn soul guidance knowledge.

Xuan Ziwen, as Kong Deming's favorite disciple and an eighth-level soul engineer who has almost reached a paranoid level in the research of soul guides, is fully capable of teaching Huo Yuhao soul guide knowledge.

It is worth mentioning that Orange, who is like a god of war in the original novel, is Xuan Ziwen's student. Compared with Huo Yuhao's unparalleled talent in soul guides, Orange's talent in soul guides is very ordinary, but this does not affect their interactions and even becoming classmates and friends.

Before Huo Yuhao went to participate in the All-Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition, he learned soul guidance knowledge from Xuan Ziwen. Therefore, Huo Yuhao and Orange had several interactions at that time and established a good friendship.

Not long ago, when Xu Tianran visited the Sun Moon Royal Team to express his condolences and commend them, Xu Tianran intentionally or unintentionally extended an olive branch to Huo Yuhao in front of Jing Hongchen, saying that Ju Zi and Huo Yuhao were classmates, hoping to establish a relationship with Huo Yuhao through Jing Hongchen.

After all, Huo Yuhao is a rare genius in the history of the empire, and is extremely favored by Kong Deming, the master of the Gongfeng Hall, and Jing Hongchen, the master of the Mingde Hall, both of which are known as the national treasures. If Huo Yuhao can be won over, it means that he has connections with the Gongfeng Hall and the Mingde Hall.

Xu Tianran, who was quite politically savvy, naturally understood the many benefits of winning over Huo Yuhao, so he told Huo Yuhao about Orange's tragic life story without reservation, hoping that Huo Yuhao would take good care of Orange and so on.

When Xu Tianran told Huo Yuhao about Ju Zi's tragic life story, Ju Zi was standing nearby. Feeling that she was just a tool for Xu Tianran to realize his political ambitions, Ju Zi couldn't help but feel sad, thinking that she was just a dispensable sacrifice in front of Xu Tianran, who could provide him with political resources...

When Huo Yuhao rushed to Xuan Ziwen's place, Juzi was sitting alone by the window, looking at the drizzle outside. Her mood was as gloomy as the sky, and there was no sign of the bright spring sunshine.

Huo Yuhao, noticing something strange happening to Juzi, sat down next to her and asked with concern, "Senior Juzi, what happened?"

Orange pursed her lips and said sadly, "Nothing, just some bad memories from the past."

Huo Yuhao looked out the window, and the dark time when the original owner was in the White Tiger Duke's mansion emerged in his mind. He could actually sympathize with Orange, who was now an orphan because both of his parents had died tragically at the hands of the White Tiger Duke.

After all, in a sense, he is also an orphan.

The drizzle outside the window gradually became heavier, and the thick dark clouds that gathered were like Orange's increasingly gloomy mood. Amidst lightning and thunder, heavy rain fell like the sky crying, and the raindrops that hit the ground and scattered were as fierce as the words Xu Tianran said indifferently in front of everyone that day about her tragic life experience, piercing her young and soft heart.

Huo Yuhao gazed at the pouring rain and said gravely, "Senior Orange, actually... I'm an orphan too."

Orange looked at Huo Yuhao in confusion, as if he didn't expect Huo Yuhao to say such a thing.

"My hometown is near the Mingdou Mountains. My parents were killed by the White Tiger Duke's men. Left alone, I left home and went to Dongyang City to obtain my identity before wandering to Mingdu. During those dark days, I vowed that no matter what the future held, I would make the White Tiger Duke pay a heavy price to comfort my parents' spirits."

"That's why I personally attacked the two White Tiger Dukes during this Continental High-Level Spirit Master Competition to collect some interest in advance..."

Huo Yuhao's life story, which was both true and false, resonated with Orange. Orange stared at Huo Yuhao blankly, her eyes bright and dark, with a complicated expression.

In fact, she had already known about Huo Yuhao's life experience from Xu Tianran. At that time, Xu Tianran hoped that she could establish a deep friendship with Huo Yuhao by making up for the psychological defects caused by Huo Yuhao's tragic life experience. However, she was soft on the outside but tough on the inside, so she naturally disdained to do so, and was even more unwilling to use Huo Yuhao's life experience, who had a similar experience to her, to achieve certain benefits.

But what she didn't expect was that this junior who was younger than her would be so open-minded. He recounted his shameful past with a calm expression, as if he was narrating a very ordinary past.

Amidst the heavy rain, Orange heard a deep and inspiring voice from Huo Yuhao.

"I once read a sentence in a book: Two people stood in the dim snow and ice. One of them looked at the dim frozen earth below, while the other looked up at the starry sky..."

“So from then on, even when I was in darkness, my heart was toward the light.”

The heavy rain outside the window continued. The girl lowered her head, bit her lips tightly, and a crystal tear rolled down the corner of her eye.

"Thank you, Yuhao."

Chapter 147 Mingdetang doesn’t want to be dug into a tunnel, right?

The girl raised her head slightly, her long, soft black hair falling to her waist, a faint sweet smile on her delicate face, and her sleepy eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were full of gratitude.

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, then sat back in his seat and began to study the soul guide array.

At that time, the heavy rain outside the window gradually subsided, and bright sunlight shone through the sea of ​​clouds. After being baptized by the heavy rain, the sky and the earth had been completely renewed, presenting a vibrant scene.

Feeling that he had found a soulmate and a comrade who could fight side by side, Orange sat by the window, staring at Huo Yuhao who was already engrossed in studying the soul guide array. He was slightly dazed, and finally smiled sweetly. The melancholy in his heart was like the water in the puddle on the ground outside the window, slowly evaporating under the bright sunshine.

After Huo Yuhao studied the soul guide array for a long time, the other students of Xuan Ziwen rushed into the classroom. As for Xuan Ziwen, he was nowhere to be seen until almost class time.

It was not until there were only three minutes left before class that Xuan Ziwen hurriedly walked into the classroom with the materials and began today's class.

Although Huo Yuhao had passed the fifth-level soul guide assessment and had a good reserve of soul guide knowledge, his understanding of many of the knowledge was still somewhat one-sided or not deep enough. Whenever Xuan Ziwen explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way the soul guide knowledge that Huo Yuhao thought he had thoroughly understood, he would nod his head in enlightenment as if he had been enlightened.

After completing the soul guide knowledge explanation, it is time to learn how to put the theory into practice and carve soul guide arrays.

In view of Huo Yuhao's nearly perfect carving skills in soul guide array carving, Xuan Ziwen felt that there was nothing much he could teach Huo Yuhao in terms of carving techniques. At most, he could teach Huo Yuhao more knowledge about soul guide arrays and carving key points, and then let him sit at his workstation and try to carve and study by himself.

After completing the carving of several level five soul guide arrays of varying difficulty, Huo Yuhao felt that his soul power had reached its limit. With nothing to do, he sat at his workstation and studied the information on soul guide arrays that Xuan Ziwen had copied for him.

Huo Yuhao, who had extraordinary mental power and was quite experienced in using it, picked up the information and directly turned on the "scan" mode. Through his powerful mental power, he "imprinted" the knowledge of the soul guide array into his sea of ​​consciousness.

At first, he flipped through the documents at a decent speed, but after gradually getting into the state, the continuous "swish swish" sound of flipping through the papers echoed throughout the entire manufacturing room, attracting envious glances from several students, including Orange.

They were already accustomed to Huo Yuhao's extraordinary ability to remember everything he saw and easily memorize complex soul guide arrays, but every time Huo Yuhao did this, they were shocked, and then they were sincerely envious.

For soul masters, understanding and memorizing all kinds of soul guide knowledge is certainly important, but the core of soul guide research is the soul guide array that drives the operation of the soul guide. The study and research of soul guide arrays require memorizing and carving all kinds of complex soul guide arrays. Coincidentally, Huo Yuhao has a terrifying ability to remember everything he sees!

As for the carving of the core of the soul guide array, he also has the unique advantage of the spiritual eye martial soul!

Otherwise, how can one say that he is the most talented soul mentor in the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and even in the entire Sun-Moon Empire in the past ten thousand years?

The students could only envy and sigh for a while before devoting themselves to carving and studying their own soul guide arrays.

Orange also sighed. Not to mention Huo Yuhao's talent as a soul master, which was enough to be called a demon. His talent in soul guides alone was enough to make her far behind.

Considering that she was only seventeen or eighteen years old and had to take a lot of drugs to become a fourth-level soul engineer, her future achievements would probably be around that of a fifth-level soul engineer. However, Huo Yuhao's future has unlimited possibilities.

Orange adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, patted his soft and moist face, and then immersed himself in carving his own soul guide array.

As for Xuan Ziwen, who was obsessed with the research of soul guides and had amazing talent in soul guide research, he couldn't help but envy Huo Yuhao's unparalleled talent in soul guide research.

Whenever he shared his advanced soul guide research projects with Huo Yuhao, he would always get some enlightenment from Huo Yuhao. For example, in his current core research topic - the research on encrypted milk bottles, Huo Yuhao put forward many unique insights, which greatly accelerated his research on sealed milk bottles.

When chatting with Huo Yuhao, he would often imaginatively imagine some unexpected soul guides, such as a soul propeller that used sealed soul power as its power source and soul guide array as its driving method, and a flying soul guide that could be extended from this basis and used by ordinary people...

Huo Yuhao also mentioned the topic of industrialized assembly line production of soul technology, which was highly praised by countless respected soul masters in Mingde Hall. He said that only by continuously producing soul tools with machines could the Sun-Moon Empire's national strength advance by leaps and bounds. Only when soul tools were widely available to the people could the development of soul technology be more meaningful...

In short, Huo Yuhao not only possesses a natural talent for learning existing soul guidance knowledge, but also possesses unbridled creativity and the ability to reflect on real life, making him quite capable of possessing the demeanor of a great soul guidance master...

"It's just... this kid learns too fast. He understands a lot of soul guidance knowledge in a flash, and can even apply it to other situations. If it weren't for the limitation of his soul power level, I'm afraid he would catch up with me in a few years..."

Xuan Ziwen touched his chin, a hint of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he turned around to continue instructing other students in carving soul guide arrays.
