Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 530 Beibei's Choice
Beibei glanced at the lonely recliner where Elder Mu often lay in the Sea God Pavilion, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

He glanced back at his companions, then his gaze sharpened, and he said earnestly to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, with you here, I believe our sect is already one of the top teams in this competition. We don't need another offensive-type Soul Master like me."

Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly; he seemed to have already guessed what Bei Bei was about to say.

Sure enough, Bei Bei took a deep breath, glanced apologetically at everyone, and slowly said, "Although Elder Xuan is right, given our status, even if Shrek Academy really loses, it won't have much of an impact."

"But Shrek Academy is, after all, the culmination of Xuanzu's life's work. Xuanzu has just passed away, and I don't want Shrek Academy to be utterly defeated after he's gone. Even if we do lose in the end, we can't lose too badly. So, I want to represent the academy in the battle!"

Looking at Bei Bei's determined gaze, Huo Yuhao felt a sense of admiration.

He knew that Beibei must have struggled with what she said.

With me here, there's no way the championship of this tournament will fall into Shrek's hands again.

In other words, even if Beibei represents Shrek Academy in the competition, the final result will definitely be that they will not win the championship.

Without these companions, Beibei couldn't have led Shrek Team 2 to victory over the Spirit Pagoda.

Even so, Beibei still made this choice.

I have to say, Beibei is quite a sentimental person!

Huo Yuhao gently patted Bei Bei's shoulder and said, "Bei Bei, I understand what you're thinking. Don't worry, I won't blame you for this."

“What you said makes sense. If all of us leave, the academy will indeed be lacking in top-tier combat power given its current situation.”

"Go ahead. With you leading Shrek Academy, we can run two teams simultaneously and support each other, which is actually not bad."

Looking at Bei Bei's eyes filled with grief, Xu Sanshi hesitated for a moment before speaking up, "Yuhao, I also want to help Bei Bei."

"If we were to represent the Spirit Pagoda in the battle, apart from Bei Bei, we wouldn't be able to field even a single Soul Emperor among the students in the academy who are of the appropriate age to participate."

"This year's competition format has introduced sects again. I'm worried that relying on Beibei alone will be very difficult."

“But in our sect, you are a Soul Saint, and Qiu’er, Dong’er and several others have the cultivation of Soul Emperor. We should not lack high-end combat power. Moreover, Bei Bei and I have a good working relationship. With me here, even if Shrek Academy draws a strong team from the beginning, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then glanced at Bei Bei, who was filled with gratitude, and said with a smile, "Alright, San Shi is right. In that case, Wu Feng, why don't you go with San Shi to help Bei Bei? You don't need to worry about the Spirit Pagoda."

Huo Yuhao looked at Bei Bei: "With the addition of the three of you, Shrek Academy's combat strength is basically the same as in the previous competition."

Bei Bei nodded emphatically, glanced gratefully at Xu Sanshi, and said to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, thank you for your understanding."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand: "We're all on the same side, there's no need to thank me."

Looking at the harmonious scene of these young people "loving each other," Elder Xuan sighed. Seeing that they had made a decision, Elder Xuan said, "Alright, since you have discussed it, then let's decide it this way."

“Beibei, my original plan was that if you represented the sect in the competition, then Dai Huabin would lead the Shrek Academy team this year.” “But since you have decided to come back to help the academy, the position of captain will naturally be given to you. With you and Sanshi, two Soul Emperors, in charge, our academy’s overall strength will not be so weak.”

"Alright, everyone go back and rest. I'll let you know when the final competition format is confirmed. Yuhao, in the meantime, you should also finalize the starting lineup and substitute players."

"Okay, Mr. Xuan."

Huo Yuhao agreed and then led the group away.

After leaving the academy, the group deployed their flying soul tools and flew towards the Spirit Pagoda.

Because of Elder Mu's passing, no one had a chance to ask Huo Yuhao about his situation during this time.

Now that they were outside the academy, Xu Sanshi asked curiously, "Yuhao, what level are you in now?"

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly: "76, that should be enough for the competition."

Xu Sanshi's eyes widened, and after a long while, he said, "You're fucking freakish! A 17-year-old Soul Saint is one thing, but your Soul Power cultivation is also so high!?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at the guy and laughed, "You guys aren't bad either. With the help of the immortal herbs there, your and Bei Bei's soul power cultivation should have increased significantly, right? If I'm not mistaken, you two shouldn't be far from becoming Soul Saints now."

At this point, Xu Sanshi, Bei Bei, and the others all turned serious and said earnestly to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, thank you."

Xiao Xiao and the other women also looked at Huo Yuhao with happiness and pride.

With the help of those immortal herbs, the direct descendants of the Spirit Pagoda have completely surpassed their Shrek classmates in terms of cultivation progress!
It's just that everyone has been keeping a low profile and hasn't revealed it during this time.

Huo Yuhao looked at Bei Bei, first waving to him and Xu Sanshi with a smile, and then asked, "Everyone, tell me, how has everyone's cultivation progressed during my seclusion?"

Beibei laughed first, "After I ate the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, my physical strength was greatly increased, and my physical strength also improved significantly. My cultivation speed also improved to a certain extent. Now, I am already level 68."

"In addition, the power that Xuanzu poured into my body before greatly amplified my Holy Dragon bloodline. Moreover, it was equivalent to washing my marrow and bones again. I estimate that after I gradually digest this power, my soul power cultivation should be able to reach level 69."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly.

A soul power level of 68 is much stronger than in the original story.

It seems that the magical herbs I arranged for everyone have been quite effective.

Xu Sanshi also laughed and said, "I'm about the same. The Narcissus Jade Bone also greatly enhances my Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield. It not only increases my affinity with the water attribute, but also provides a good boost to the Xuanwu Martial Soul after awakening."

"Moreover, just like Beibei, after consuming the true form of the immortal herb, it greatly enhanced my physique. Now, my physical resilience has also improved significantly compared to before, and my defense has reached a new level."

Xiao Xiao chuckled and said, "The Nine-Turn Golden Jade Bamboo is also a good match for my Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron. Its righteous energy greatly enhances the power of the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, and my soul power is now at level 55."
