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

Chapter 38 Xiao Xiao: Could it be that Wang Dong likes me?

"Confucius is right!" Jing Hongchen immediately flattered.

Kong Deming said in a deep voice: "Remember, you must never force growth. Those pills that deplete potential must not be given to Huo Yuhao, or I will hold you accountable! My disciple Xuan Ziwen is still a Soul Douluo because he has used too many pills."

If Ziwen were a Title Douluo, with his talent in the Soul Master field, he would already be a Level 9 Soul Master by now.

"Don't worry, Elder Kong, I will keep a close eye on Yuhao in this regard!" Jing Hongchen immediately assured Kong Deming.

"Hmm." Kong Deming's expression softened slightly, and then he said, "Remember, if Yuhao needs any resources in the future, try your best to meet his needs. As for his daily expenses, let Mingde Hall reimburse them. If he needs to hunt soul beasts, you should assist him in the hunt! From today onwards, he is the most important student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!"

Although the Sun Moon Empire lacks powerful Soul Masters and is inferior to the Douluo Three Kingdoms in terms of Soul Beast resources, it absolutely crushes the Douluo Three Kingdoms in terms of financial resources because it can sell powerful Soul Tools.

“Elder Kong, there’s one more thing. Under my arrangement, Yuhao has already become a reserve member of our academy for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament. Now that he has the Ultimate Ice, can we ask him to withdraw from this tournament? In my opinion, he only needs to focus on cultivation.” Jing Hongchen asked.

The venue for this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is Xingluo City, not Mingdu. Therefore, if Huo Yuhao were to reveal his talent, it could very well attract the Xingluo Empire's ambush.

Kong Deming pondered for a moment and said, "Let him participate in the competition. Participating in the Soul Battle Tournament is a rare experience that will help cultivate team spirit. His first soul skill, Spirit Detection Sharing, is actually very suitable for cooperating with soul masters and the soul master group. Therefore, Yuhao is a natural team leader!"

"However, to avoid outsiders prying into it, Huo Yuhao's ultimate ice martial soul need not be revealed. Of course, since we know too little about ultimate martial souls, we don't know if Shrek Academy has any means of detection."

Therefore, you and Ye Yulin will need to go with us. If necessary, you can also contact a few more level-nine Soul Masters to prevent Shrek Academy from snatching them away! Huo Yuhao has a very high chance of becoming the first Limit Douluo cultivated by the Empire itself; he is extremely important to the Empire.”

"This Elder Kong, that's Shrek Academy, the holy land of soul masters. They shouldn't stole someone, right?" Jing Hongchen hesitated. Like Xu Tianran, he had grown up listening to the legendary stories of Shrek Academy, so he had an idolized view of the academy.

Upon hearing these words, Kong Deming's face darkened. Having lived for so long, he had naturally come into contact with some people from Shrek Academy, but some of them had left him with a bad impression.

He immediately reprimanded, "What do you know! Just do as I say! How can you, the head of the Mingde Hall, speak up for outsiders? Are you a Sun Moon person or a Shrek person? If you like Shrek so much, then you should quit being the head of the Mingde Hall and go to Shrek Academy to be the dean of the Soul Guidance Department!"

"Master Kong, I was wrong, please don't be angry! I will definitely do as you say!" Jing Hongchen apologized immediately after being scolded, not daring to argue back.

Master Kong is the head of all the ninth-level Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire. Even he himself had received guidance from Master Kong before he became a ninth-level Soul Master, because of his good talent. Therefore, he naturally had great respect for the old man in front of him.

Shrek Academy.

As the new semester begins, students have returned to the college and started attending classes.

It was during recess, and many students were heading to the restrooms. Wang Dong was one of them. Because she hadn't found what the consciousness was looking for, she had already returned to Shrek Academy with the help of her great-uncle.

At that moment, she stood outside the toilet, looking troubled.

As we all know, the Douluo people are not ultimate beings; they still need to use the toilet.

Even Huo Gua, the wheelchair-bound version of Huo Gua who had considerable strength in the original work, needed help to go to the toilet. Wang Dong is now just a Soul Venerable, and she still needs to eat, drink, and relieve herself.

Wang Dong is currently facing a very awkward problem: she does need to use the restroom, but the problem is, she's dressed as a man!

Although Shrek Academy is wealthy, it's impossible for the academy to customize a separate toilet for every student.

This means that Wang Dong has to choose between the men's and women's restrooms in the teaching building. For Wang Dong, choosing which restroom to use is a huge problem.

If she chooses the women's restroom, it would indeed suit her gender, but it wouldn't suit her current status. She might be beaten up as a hooligan the moment she steps into the restroom and then handed over to Du Weilin.

Her reputation would be ruined. In Wang Dong's opinion, her disguise as a man was very skillful; others shouldn't be able to tell. This meant that unless she took off her male disguise, she would face severe punishment from the academy. But according to her uncles, now wasn't the right time to do so. If she chose the men's restroom, that would be a big problem too. She was still a virgin; she couldn't possibly see that kind of thing!

"Why did my uncles make me dress up as a man? It's so troublesome! If only I hadn't worn men's clothes in the first place! I'm clearly a girl, but I have to pretend to be a boy!" Wang Dong said helplessly, and also couldn't understand the purpose of her uncles' arrangement.

She planned to wait until everyone left the restroom before going in herself, which was what she always did. As a result, no one had ever encountered Wang Dong in the restroom. As for flying back to the dormitory to use the restroom, she felt that wouldn't work, because she might not be able to hold it in on the way.

To be honest, if you really look into it, this is indeed a huge bug.

In the original novel, Huo Gua became good brothers with Wang Dong at the beginning of Douluo Dalu II. Since they were good brothers, they should have had the experience of going to the toilet together during breaks between classes.

Wang Dong couldn't possibly activate his martial spirit during class breaks to secretly fly back to the dormitory to use the restroom and then fly back to the teaching building to attend class in order to avoid revealing his female identity!

At this moment, Xiao Xiao, who was petite, walked out of the girls' restroom. She was about to return to the classroom when she suddenly stopped because she saw the handsome Wang Dong.

"Wang Dong, what are you doing here? What a coincidence!" Xiao Xiao said with some surprise.

Because much of the knowledge that Soul Masters need can only be taught in the classroom, Zhou Yi doesn't just make her students run as soon as she starts a class.

"What a coincidence." Wang Dong's heart skipped a beat, wondering how he could run into an acquaintance like Xiao Xiao.

In such situations, what she fears most is running into acquaintances, because if they see her strange behavior, they will definitely come up and ask what's going on.

However, she cannot tell the other party the truth, which will cause a series of troubles.

"You've been standing outside the restroom the whole time, are you waiting for someone?"

Xiao Xiao looked at Wang Dong with some confusion. She and Wang Dong had a good relationship. Some time ago, she, Wang Dong, and another person teamed up together and participated in the freshman assessment.

However, Wang Dong's team was ultimately defeated by Dai Huabin's team, which infuriated Zhou Yi. The reason was simple: Dai Huabin and his group were Mu Jin's students, and Mu Jin and Zhou Yi had a very bad relationship.

Wang Dong and his group, being Zhou Yi's students, lost to Mu Jin's students, which undoubtedly made Zhou Yi lose face.

"That's right, I'm waiting for someone." Wang Dong had no choice but to lie, otherwise she couldn't give a reasonable explanation for her behavior.

"Who are you waiting for?" Xiao Xiao asked curiously.

"I'm waiting for that." Wang Dong started brainstorming. She hesitated a bit. She couldn't just say any name. What if Xiao Xiao corroborated it? Wouldn't that make things even more complicated?

Moreover, because she hadn't been able to use the restroom for a while, Wang Dong was feeling quite uncomfortable, and her complexion was becoming increasingly rosy.

In Xiao Xiao's memory, Wang Dong was a proud and righteous person who would not back down even when facing the tall and mighty Dai Huabin.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, given Wang Dong's personality, it would be absolutely impossible for him to show such a rosy complexion and somewhat awkward demeanor.

Could it be that Wang Dong likes me? Is that why he waited for me outside? Or is he just too embarrassed to say anything because I found out?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao's breathing became rapid, and her face flushed red.

Undoubtedly, she liked Wang Dong. On the one hand, Wang Dong was extremely handsome, and on the other hand, although Wang Dong had some minor flaws, his personality was generally good.
