Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 59 Heavenly Struggle
After the chaotic fight, there were no further objections to the allocation of the squad leader position.

But Wang Dong wasn't particularly excited about receiving the title; it was just a title, nothing to fight for.

The daily teaching content of the Martial Soul Academy consists of cultivation details, continental history, ancestral glory, academy honor, and some nonsensical core competitiveness.

As a bonus, you can also include some courses on soul power attributes, martial soul quality and classification, and common soul skills and soul beasts.

There was no homework and no exams.

The annual entrance exam is only strongly linked to soul power level and combat skills. As long as you can crush all the combat tests and achieve amazing results, you can still get a passing grade even if you have zero knowledge of books.

—At most, I'll just mention it to you so you can study harder, in case you can't distinguish between spirit beasts or hunt spirit rings in the future.

"A waste of time..."

Xiao Xiao stared blankly at the blackboard, her soul power slowly circulating within her body under the influence of the Xuan Tian Gong.

Although her current posture is not suitable for cultivation, the exquisite control she gained through training with her triple martial soul allowed her to explore more possibilities.

Although the cultivation method is progressing slowly right now, only one-fifth of the normal cultivation speed, it is still more meaningful than sitting in the classroom and wasting time.

"This new application of the Mysterious Heaven Skill should be very useful to Huo Yuhao, that cultivation fanatic, right?"

Xiao Xiao blinked and nodded in response to Wang Yan's gaze, then continued to stare blankly: "So much time has passed, he should be back by now..."

Although the far north is a long way away, it was still a Soul Saint teacher from the academy leading the way, and the round trip might not even take as long as the time spent searching for the Soul Beast.

Turning my head, I saw Wang Dong beside me still propping his head up and looking out the window.

"Hey!"

"what?"

Wang Dong was startled: "Is...is get out of class over?"

"It's still early~"

Xiao Xiao squinted and leaned closer, staring intently into Wang Dong's eyes: "You're thinking about someone, aren't you? You're so lost in thought~ You've been like this for so many days."

A flicker of panic flashed deep in Wang Dong's eyes: "I just find classes boring!"

"You're thinking about Huo Yuhao, aren't you?"

Xiao Xiao pinched her voice and smiled.

"……nonsense…"

Wang Dong slumped on the table, utterly dejected, a faint resentment rising from his head: "How could I possibly miss him... It would be better if he died out there."

It really is!
Xiao Xiao was instantly overwhelmed with an indescribable shock.

'Are they roommates? Shouldn't they be the same sex?'

Has the world become so open-minded?

Although she felt a slight sense of dread, she also had a strange feeling of familiarity with Wang Dong's words and actions.

Something's not quite right.

Wang Dong stared blankly out the window, while Xiao Xiao looked at him with suspicion. Wang Yan, standing in front of the blackboard, stared at the two of them and said, "The next topic is: how to concentrate soul power to weaken the enemy's mental attribute attack effect."

Swah——

In an instant, most of the class, including the two of them, perked up and turned to look at them.

……

Not too far north.

"Teacher, shouldn't we go back now?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the city gate in front of him. The three large characters "Tian Dou City" engraved on the top were already slightly mottled. Although the city was still thriving, there was always an inescapable sense of decline.

After acquiring the spirit ring, the Soul Saint didn't fly him all the way back to the academy. Instead, they traveled from north to south, stopping in one city after another to show him the different customs and cultures of each region. "Hehe...almost there~"

The elderly man, whose hair was somewhat gray, was still quite spry. He strolled along the street with a nostalgic look in his eyes, scanning the shops and stalls on both sides: "Haven't we already crossed most of the Heavenly Soul Empire? If we go south for a while, we'll reach the academy."

"No, I mean..."

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched.

"What I'm trying to say is: your time is precious right now, and you need to devote more energy to cultivating your soul power. Right?"

The old man turned around, lowered his head, and smiled broadly: "You little rascal~ I told you to sleep, but you've been meditating all day long. You were like this when you went there, you were like this when you were looking for the soul beast, and you're still like this now on the way back."

"I'm afraid you went through the same thing before, didn't you? All you did was cultivate, turning yourself into a machine. I don't even know how long you've been on edge."

Let's take a break~

The old man patted Huo Yuhao on the head: "Learn more about the outside world and broaden your horizons."

A giant baby wielding immense power would only be a disaster for the world, but at the same time, he is also extremely vulnerable.

A fragile heart is not a quality to be proud of.

"I…"

Looking at the old man in front of him, whom he had only met by chance, Huo Yuhao was somewhat moved.

"Let's go. Just consider it as accompanying this old man for a stroll."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's expression, the old man immediately understood that he had indeed listened, and then took his hand and walked through Tiandou City.

While quietly observing the flow of people, the old man also quietly recounted the past of this city.

"The history of Tiandou City can be traced back more than 10,000 years ago. It was once the capital of the Tiandou Empire and the starting point for the Sea God's path to the top ten thousand years ago."

"The Tang Sect was established here, Shrek Academy rose to prominence here, the Heaven Dou Empire experienced internal strife, the appointment of the Imperial Preceptor... This place has witnessed far too much."

The old man said with emotion, "Of course, the most important significance of this place is that it was here that our ancestor laid the foundation for overthrowing the Spirit Hall and the Spirit Empire! He quelled a war that was about to sweep the world."

Only the instant the words left the mouth.

Huo Yuhao's mental sea suddenly trembled.

The long-dormant fragments of divine essence shone with a few beams of light upon the appearance of a certain phrase, causing the tenants, who had finally settled down, to panic.

"Martial Soul Hall?"

Sensing the activity in his mind, Huo Yuhao subconsciously murmured and repeated it.

"Yes."

The old man gently shook his head: "The Spirit Hall."

"It was established 20,000 years ago by a powerful figure who pacified the entire Douluo Continent and gathered countless powers of faith to condense a divine spark. For thousands and tens of thousands of years thereafter, it has always played the role of the arbiter."

"Mediate the conflict between the two great empires, establish branch halls in various kingdoms and cities, and awaken the martial soul for every child free of charge. Reach an agreement with the imperial high command to provide subsidies for every low-level soul master."

"All those with potential, who come from humble backgrounds but possess mutated martial souls, will receive their full support and training, and may even have the opportunity to join the core of the Spirit Hall and become the source of a new lineage of spirit master families."

This……

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened: "What a great cause—woohoo?"

"shut up!"

The old man suddenly changed his gentle demeanor, his expression tense as he tightly covered Huo Yuhao's mouth, his voice low and serious: "Do you know what you're saying?"

　Q: Why did you have to use this old man to advance the plot?

　　A: I don't think you can find a morally sound and educational mentor in the original work. (Old Yi's core values ​​are solid, but he will only advise you to have limits to revenge and not to take your anger out on others... and he usually sleeps until the release of Life Gold before becoming active.)
