Douluo: Peerless Light..

Chapter 168 Picking up the leaks
The two chatted for quite some time, then returned to the academy together and went back to their respective residences.

As soon as Minghui entered the room, he immediately saw Zhang Lexuan sitting on the sofa. As for Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen, they were probably practicing.

"Xiaohui, just now Master Xuan asked me to hold a small meeting to discuss the replacement of the old and new Shrek Seven Devils." Zhang Lexuan said.

Minghui nodded and walked over and said, "Xiaotao and her generation of the Shrek Seven Devils are all approaching 20 years old and will not be able to participate in the next Soul Master Competition. It is indeed time to replace the old with the new."

"So, what was the result of the discussion?"

“After this upgrade exam, we will re-select seven students from the current core students of the academy as the reserve Shrek Seven Devils. At the same time, they will also be the reserve team members for this Soul Master Competition. It is just right for us to use this Soul Master Competition to accumulate competition experience.” Zhang Lexuan said.

“The academy used to do this.”

Minghui sat down next to her and put his arm around her waist. The latter seemed to be used to it and did not struggle. He continued, "Xiaohui, you are already a reserve team member of the team and do not need to participate in the assessment. Therefore, we only need to select six more students for this assessment."

In other words, I will squeeze out one of the Shrek Seven Devils in the original novel. Minghui thought, his thoughts becoming active.

If possible, he certainly hopes that the new generation of Shrek Seven Devils will have more acquaintances.

Minghui nodded slightly and smiled, "I hope my junior brother can perform better. Yuhao told me just now that he has been accepted as a direct disciple by my teacher and has a second martial spirit. Speaking of which, this kid is really lucky, unexpectedly..."

He informed Huo Yuhao about the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. As for the God-Creating Plan, he told him about it when the two of them formally confirmed their relationship.

"A million-year-old soul beast!" Zhang Lexuan was shocked.

"According to Bingdi, that guy's cultivation level was acquired through eating, and he doesn't have much combat power." Minghui continued.

Bingdi told him about her and Tianmeng.

"This dream is really an anomaly." Zhang Lexuan was very moved after hearing it.

It was really hard for her to understand why they liked the soul beasts of different species that treated her as food.

"The thoughts of soul beasts are sometimes really puzzling." Minghui nodded in agreement.

Zhang Lexuan nodded and said, "One more thing. There are new items in the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion. There will be a treasure appraisal meeting specifically for the inner courtyard tomorrow night."

"Then I have to go and take a look." Minghui said, "Lexuan, let's go shopping together tomorrow night."

If nothing goes wrong, the thousand-year-old whale glue should also be in it. This thing is useful to him now and he can't miss it.

"Okay." Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly.

After a while, the two finished chatting and went upstairs to practice together.

At the same time, outside the courtyard.

Huo Yuhao reunited with Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, and happened to run into Dai Huabin and his group of three.

Seeing Huo Yuhao, Dai Huabin's expression became visibly gloomy, and then he said coldly, "Huo Yuhao, tomorrow afternoon is our martial spirit upgrade assessment. Do you have the courage to gamble with me?"

Huo Yuhao was not afraid at all, and asked calmly: "What are you betting on?"

"Let's bet on how many points we get tomorrow! I've already found out that the first test of this upgrade assessment is to fight face to face with a soul beast, and the points will be calculated based on the performance." Dai Huabin snorted coldly, "Whoever loses will kowtow to the other and admit his mistake!"

"It also puts an end to our previous feud."

During the Chinese New Year holiday, he also heard what Dai Yuheng told his father Dai Hao. Now the number one player of the Shrek team has been announced, and it is Minghui. He defeated Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yuheng successively, and his soul power reached level 48 before the New Year. They are obviously the same age, but the gap is so big that he can't help but accept it. Due to Minghui's talent and background, even his mother asked him to be more careful in the academy in the future.

Unless it is necessary, Huo Yuhao should not take the initiative to provoke Minghui, as he currently has a good relationship with him.

But he just refused to accept it!

Since I can't provoke him openly, I can probably vent my anger by making a bet, right?

"Yuhao, promise him!" Tianmeng sent a voice message first, "Fighting against soul beasts, I guarantee you will get full marks."

"Your newly acquired simulation spirit skill can be used just right. When the time comes, you only need to simulate Xiaotian's aura. Those with less than ten thousand years of cultivation will be absolutely terrified."

"Hey, there's no need to fight!"

Huo Yuhao thought it was feasible, so he said without hesitation: “Okay!”

Dai Huabin was a little surprised that Huo Yuhao agreed so readily. Could it be that he had some support?
But when he thought that his soul power had reached level 36, and Huo Yuhao was at most a beginner soul master, not even close to level 30, his mood instantly calmed down.

"Then see you tomorrow!" Dai Huabin said and turned away.

Wang Dong finally spoke, with a trace of worry on his face, "Yuhao, are you really sure?"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Huo Yuhao said confidently. He had to admit that he had become more confident since returning from the sect. Not only because of the sect's strength, the love of his teacher and senior brothers, but also because of his own improved strength.

Seeing Huo Yuhao so confident, Wang Dong's expression became much more relaxed, and he even started to complain.

"I hope so, otherwise you will lose face as a squad leader."

Huo Yuhao just smiled and said, "Wang Dong, I have made great progress during the New Year, and you have also broken through to Soul Master. Do you want to try the martial soul fusion technique to see if the power can be further improved?"

Wang Dong's pretty face flushed for no reason and she nodded gently, "Okay."

Xiao Xiao glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "Then I won't be a light bulb for you guys anymore. Goodbye!"

Having said that, he ran away.

Huo Yuhao scratched his head and said shyly, "Let's go then."

The two walked towards the grove behind the dormitory.

In the Divine Realm and the Seagod Temple, Tang San saw all of this and frowned slightly, "This kid has indeed made a lot of progress during this period, but compared to Minghui, he is still far behind. If he wants to become my son-in-law, Tang San, he is even further away from the requirements."

"Let's see the results of the subsequent training."

Minghui had basically given up on being a candidate for son-in-law. He didn't want his daughter to be shared with other women, unless these three women disappeared.

But as it stands, it's a bit difficult. The biggest problem is that I don't have much affection for my own daughter.

On the other side, the goddess of life was smiling.

"Wutong has finally met someone who can make her control her temper."

"Yuhao's life story is indeed tragic, and he is a bit sensitive, but with Du Bu Si and Xiao Hui guiding him, he has been making progress over time. There are no major problems with his character and mentality, and his temper complements Wu Tong's. I think he is pretty good."

"Tang San may not be satisfied." The God of Destruction said lightly.

"."

In the morning, Huo Yuhao rushed to the Soul Guidance Department. After a practical assessment, he successfully obtained the second-level Soul Guidance Medal, shocking the entire Soul Guidance Department.

He became a second-level soul engineer after only eight months of study last year. This talent is truly extraordinary.

Fan Yu encouraged him, and then warned him not to be complacent, and told Minghui the results of his short study. He then said that if Minghui wanted to, he might have been a fourth-level soul instructor now.

Senior brother is so awesome. Huo Yuhao was shocked and said that he would continue to work hard.

In addition, the money owed to my senior brother must be repaid as soon as possible! In the afternoon, the martial spirit department entrance examination began in the beast fighting area, and Minghui went to observe alone.

Wang Dong, who had just arrived, was chatting quietly with Huo Yuhao, "Don't worry, as long as your score exceeds that of Zhu Lu or Cui Yajie, we still have a great chance of winning. Although Dai Huabin's cultivation is higher than mine, if we really have to compete, I may not be worse than him."

When they practiced the spirit fusion technique together yesterday afternoon, she had a new understanding of Huo Yuhao's strength.

He went back to the sect to get the second soul ring, and when he came back, his soul power had become level 26, which was simply outrageous.

Upon asking, it turned out that it was because the first martial soul had a second soul ring attached to it, and the second martial soul had been successfully solidified and attached to the first soul ring. Although it felt a bit strange, it was still within the acceptable range. After all, Huo Yuhao actually had a second martial soul, and she had seen it.

The ultimate ice attribute is quite powerful!

"If you're really worried, you can consider using your mental shock skill to assist me off the field."

Compared to the loss of face caused by cheating, she was more worried that Huo Yuhao would lose and kowtow in public, which would leave a shadow on him.

Huo Yuhao shook his head repeatedly, "No!"

"Doing this would not only bring shame upon myself, but also upon the sect, my teacher and my senior brothers. I could never do this!" His senior brothers and teacher had been so good to him, he could never bring shame upon them in public.

"Wang Dong, I know you are worried about me. You are afraid that I will lose to Dai Huabin and kowtow in public and lose face."

"But compared to losing face, I think it is more important to stick to the bottom line. This is what my teacher and senior brothers have always taught me. As a man, you must win with dignity and lose with dignity. Losing your dignity for the sake of face is the real shame."

Wang Dong looked at him, his heart trembling, and suddenly he felt that Huo Yuhao's image in his mind had become taller.

“Besides, don’t worry, I won’t lose.” Huo Yuhao smiled and said confidently, “I agreed so readily yesterday, so I was definitely confident!”

Wang Dong's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she quickly turned her head away, saying calmly, "It's up to you. It's not me who will be embarrassed if I lose!"

Huo Yuhao was completely unaware and said with a cheery voice, “Wang Dong, just watch.”

"Big log!" Wang Dong pouted and said so in his heart.

Soon, the upgrade assessment began, and Huo Yuhao took the lead ahead of Dai Huabin and went on stage first.

"Teacher, I choose the Millennium Soul Beast!"

"!?" Dai Huabin was stunned and suspected that he had heard it wrong.

The referee was also stunned and turned to look at Huo Yuhao, "Student, were you talking about the thousand-year soul beast?"

“That’s right!” Huo Yuhao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Are you going to show off? Minghui perked up and looked over. Huo Yuhao had indeed simulated his spirit ring into a hundred thousand year spirit ring just like in the original novel, and released the aura of the Mysterious Ice Demon Wolf King, which scared the Millennium Wind Spirit Wolf that had just been released on the opposite side to death.

In addition, there were some little girls outside the venue.

There was chaos inside and outside the venue.

"What's going on? Who the hell did this?" Gong Changlong, the person in charge of the fighting arena, ran out angrily.

The soul beasts that were kept in his fighting soul arena, after ten thousand years of cultivation, almost all peed themselves.

Minghui did not show up, but watched Du Weilun announce the suspension of today's upgrade assessment, and Huo Yuhao received full marks.

Then, Huo Yuhao was taken away by Gong Changlong to explain the reason.

But Huo Yuhao did not follow immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Dai Huabin and said coldly, "Dai Huabin, you lost. Don't forget the agreement between us."

"I'm waiting for you to kowtow to me and admit your mistake!"

“Wow!” Dai Huabin vomited blood on the spot, his body swayed, and he was about to fall down. Zhu Lu, who was standing beside him, hurried over to support him, but was roughly pushed away. She stared at the back of Huo Yuhao who turned and left with red eyes, and suddenly knelt on her knees.

"I was wrong!" He said as he kowtowed hard, then got up and ran away.

Seeing this, Minghui immediately fell into thought. If this plot was still the same as the original novel, should he, as a senior brother, do something?
While thinking, Zhu Lu had already run to chase Dai Huabin and soon came to a dark corner.

"Hua Bin, are you okay?" she asked worriedly.

Dai Huabin said coldly, "Zhu Lu, please ask for leave for me. I need to go out for a while."

Zhu Lu was shocked, "Hua Bin, do you want to?"

"Don't worry about it, I know what's going on!" Dai Huabin said coldly and turned away.

Zhu Lu opened her mouth and stood there at a loss. She watched Dai Huabin disappear from her sight before turning around and leaving. She asked Mu Jin for leave on the grounds that Dai Huabin had vomited blood due to anger and was feeling unwell.

"You deserve it!" Wang Dong felt relieved after seeing this.

At the same time, Minghui also left the beast fighting area.

He walked to a corner and used simulated spirit skills to hide his figure, then strode out of the school gate. He went straight to the residence of the two elders of Shrek City and asked the two elders to keep an eye on it. If it really happened, pay attention to collecting evidence.

Afterwards, she went to a clothing store to pick up the clothes that she had asked Zhang Lexuan to customize.

His relationship had improved rapidly in recent times, and he felt it was time to prepare.

After returning to the academy, he practiced on his own for a while. In the evening, after dinner, he took the three girls to Shrek City to attend the treasure appraisal meeting.

Sure enough, a piece of thousand-year-old whale glue was found, and the note read:

Minghui activated his martial soul ability and saw that it was indeed a piece of ten thousand year old whale glue. Without hesitation, he bought it for 6000 gold soul coins.

"Xiaohui, this thousand-year-old whale glue has weathered and turned black. It's not worth the money at all!" Ma Xiaotao, who felt sorry for the money, couldn't help but say.

"Xiao Tao, are you still not confident in my judgment?" Minghui said in a low voice with a smile.

"This is a piece of whale glue that is ten thousand years old."

The three girls were surprised. Was this a lucky find?
"It can be used tomorrow when we are refining our bodies with ice and fire, and the absorption effect will be better." Minghui continued.

Ma Xiaotao immediately said, "Xiaohui, hurry up and take another look to see if there is anything else you missed!"

Minghui nodded and took the three women to continue looking at the goods. Soon it was the turn of the auction for the Ten Thousand Years Golden Left Arm Bone, but he was not interested at all.

The attributes are not suitable for him and the age is a bit low.

After a while, the auction ended and I reunited with my teammates and returned to the academy in a mighty procession.

The next day, because Huo Yuhao scared the many soul beasts in the Colosseum, the upgrade assessment was forced to be postponed. Minghui didn't have to watch the game, so that afternoon, he ate a whole piece of ten thousand year old whale glue and refined it with the help of ice and fire.

Turns out this stuff is really good.

Helpless, he could only accelerate absorption through fighting. The effect was good, and the physical strength was greatly improved. Ma Xiaotao also improved after receiving feedback from the ice and fire training.

Two days later, outside the Colosseum.

“Huo Yuhao, do you dare to gamble again?” Dai Huabin blocked Huo Yuhao’s way and said coldly.
