Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 124 I Hit Qiu'er?

The auspicious beast was willing to sacrifice her life for Huo Gua in the original story, but in the end, her existence was denied by Tang San. According to Tang San, if it weren't for him, Qiu'er wouldn't have had so much intelligence and wouldn't have appeared. To be honest, Tang San's words are a bit shameless.

If it's just that without his manipulation from behind, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion wouldn't have taken on Wang Dong'er's appearance, that makes sense, since Wang Qiu'er's face was indeed modeled after Wang Dong'er's.

But, this involves intelligence, so what does it have to do with Wang Dong'er's wisp of divine consciousness?
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is, after all, an imperial auspicious beast. How could it lack intelligence? Once the Three-Eyed Golden Lion chooses to transform into a human, it will still be Qiu'er, only Qiu'er will not be affected by Wang Dong'er's divine sense.

As expected of the Sea God, he really knows how to flatter himself. With just a casual remark, he can deny Qiu'er's intelligence. No wonder he could come up with such a terrible thing as combining Dong'er and Qiu'er.

"Students preparing for the special recruitment exam? No fun, it doesn't feel as good as a soul tool. Yuhao, let's go to the lab and continue researching soul tools."

Xuan Ziwen gave his assessment: he was now eager to step into the laboratory to continue developing soul tools, and nothing else mattered to him as much as developing soul tools.

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Teacher, I would like to meet this Soul Master who is preparing to take the special recruitment exam."

Xuan Ziwen was getting anxious: "What's so interesting about the special recruitment exam? If she really has the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, then passing the special recruitment exam is a sure thing."

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is not Shrek Academy. You need the city lord's recommendation letter to get in. If she has enough talent, wouldn't it be easy to give her a spot?

"Come with me to the lab. I have a brilliant idea for creating a soul tool, which needs to be implemented in the lab. You can watch from the sidelines and see if there are any improvements you can make."

He knew that Huo Yuhao's Soul Master level was not as high as his own, but Huo Yuhao's talent in Soul Master was something that Xuan Ziwen had never seen before. Communicating with such a genius of Soul Tools would help him develop Soul Tools.

As he spoke, he grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm.

Huo Yuhao's expression changed slightly as he felt a force coming from Xuan Ziwen's arm. He thought to himself that Xuan Ziwen was too fond of soul tools. No wonder this guy betrayed Mingde Hall and went to Tang Sect for Huo Yuhao's hidden weapons in the original story.

But I want to see the auspicious beast! Why develop soul tools at this time? I can use the martial soul fusion technique with the auspicious beast then!
He immediately said, "Teacher, wait a minute. I've been too tired lately. I feel that constantly researching soul tools is bad for my physical and mental health. People need to balance work and rest, so I want to see more of the outside world and adjust my state."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ziwen immediately stopped what he was doing. He looked Huo Yuhao up and down, thinking that Huo Yuhao had indeed been a bit tired lately. So he said, "Alright, you do seem to be a bit tense lately. I'll go with you to see this Di Qiu'er."

Huo Yuhao was a little puzzled: "Teacher, didn't you think the special recruitment exam was boring? Why have you suddenly changed your mind?"

Xuan Ziwen sighed: "Thinking about it carefully, what you said seems to make some sense. I've been focusing my energy on soul tools lately. Although it's something I love, I feel like I'm working myself too hard, like a bowstring that's been drawn to its limit."

So, I also need to relax a bit, like looking at the energetic new students, which reminds me of my own student days.

"Um, Teacher Xuan, Di Qiu'er, is still at the school gate. Why don't you go find her first? I still need to see the dean. After all, it's very rare for someone to voluntarily apply to take the special admissions exam. This matter still needs the principal's decision," the skinny gatekeeper asked cautiously.

Xuan Ziwen is the chief researcher of Mingde Hall. Throughout the entire Sun Moon Empire, he is a Soul Master who possesses both creativity and talent. There are even rumors in the academy that Xuan Ziwen has actually reached the level of a ninth-level Soul Master, but is limited by his own cultivation, so he is currently only an eighth-level Soul Master. Xuan Ziwen waved his hand, "Then Yuhao and I will go and bring Di Qiu'er in."

"Okay." The skinny gatekeeper nodded, smiled at Xuan Ziwen and Huo Yuhao, and then used his flying soul tool to quickly fly towards the dean's office.

after a while.

In the arena of battle.

Di Qiu'er stood in the center of the Soul Arena, preparing to participate in the special recruitment exam of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

To be honest, special recruitment exams usually prioritize assessing the participants' Soul Master qualities, since the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's main focus is still on Soul Masters.

However, Huo Yuhao knew that Di Qiu'er, this homebody girl from the Star Dou Great Forest, had never learned about soul tools and knew nothing about how to make them.

Therefore, he suggested to Jing Hongchen that they test Di Qiu'er's other qualities first, since Di Qiu'er was actually very good at fighting because of her unique bloodline.

At this moment, besides Di Qiu'er, there are also Jing Hongchen, Xuan Ziwen, and Huo Yuhao in the Soul Arena.

Di Qiu'er had already removed her veil. Judging by her looks and temperament, Di Qiu'er was undoubtedly a very beautiful girl. Huo Yuhao looked at her silk-like golden hair and thought to himself that if Qiu'er hadn't been affected by Wang Dong'er's divine sense, she would indeed have golden hair, not pinkish-blue hair.

After all, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is a golden retriever.

At this moment, Di Qiu'er also noticed Huo Yuhao's gaze. She felt that there was something wrong with his gaze, so she wondered if Huo Yuhao had seen through her. After thinking for a moment, she felt that it was impossible for her to be seen through, so she must be overthinking it.

Jing Hongchen said, "Alright, Di Qiu'er, this is the Soul Arena. The special recruitment exam will begin now. The first test is for you to fight Yuhao in the Soul Arena."

Huo Yuhao was a little confused. Wait a minute? I hit Qiu'er?
"Dean, isn't this a bit outrageous? In your eyes, I should still be just a Soul Venerable, right?" Huo Yuhao asked.

He planned to get to know Qiu'er, then work on acquiring a new soul spirit, eventually becoming a Soul Master. The soul power he had accumulated in his body during this time would also erupt along with the appearance of the new soul spirit.

Jing Hongchen waved his hand and said righteously, "It's alright. You can accumulate experience through battles. Although you have great talent, you haven't experienced many battles. This is a fatal flaw for both Soul Masters and Soul Instructors."

That's not entirely untrue. Some researchers at Mingde Hall are so engrossed in their research that some haven't even fought many battles in decades. Sometimes they do fight only to obtain soul rings from soul beasts, which results in their questionable combat skills.

While these researchers are excellent at research, they would instantly falter if they were put into a fight.
This isn't because their soul tools aren't powerful; it's mainly because their combat awareness has become somewhat weak over time.
