Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 41 New Semester
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow.

"Your eyesight is impeccable; it really is an Ice Jade Scorpion."

Moon smiled.

"Could I take a look at it?"

"It's impossible."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, and two purple soul rings slowly rose from beneath his feet.

As the second spirit ring lit up, the Ice Emperor, nearly two meters long, appeared out of thin air in front of the two.

Its icy blue carapace shimmered in the sunlight, and its yellowish-green eyes watched Moon warily.

Ice Emperor's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind: "Yuhao, be careful, this old guy is not simple. Even if I were at my peak, I probably wouldn't be his match."

Ice Emperor had been monitoring the outside world from Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, so she was naturally well aware of Huo Yuhao's actions.

Huo Yuhao understood. Mu En was one of only three Limit Douluo of level 99 in the world. At his peak, Ice Emperor was at most equivalent to a peak level 98 Douluo. There was an insurmountable gap between level 99 and Mu En.

When Mu En saw the two purple spirit rings at Huo Yuhao's feet, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Two thousand-year spirit rings? Did they evolve along with the beast taming?"

The potential of this Beast Taming Martial Soul seems to be even more astonishing than he imagined.

Moon's gaze lingered on Hyotei for a moment, then he smiled and waved his hand, "Alright, alright, take it back. I'm really getting old, I can't keep up with the young people anymore."

With a thought, Huo Yuhao sent Ice Emperor back to the Beast Taming Space as a streak of emerald light.

Mu En leaned back in his recliner, rocking gently, his voice tinged with a hint of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and awe): "These young people nowadays are truly monsters. At such a young age, they can contract a top-tier soul beast like the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, and even have their soul rings evolve along with it..."

He looked at Huo Yuhao with admiration in his eyes: "Little guy, your future is limitless."

Huo Yuhao nodded.

"You can recognize it?"

"Hehehe, I've lived this long, I still have some eyesight. Ordinary ice scorpions don't have such cold ice."

Moon closed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Ultimate Ice... this is a very rare attribute. Make good use of this power."

"Thank you, sir. I'll go eat now and won't keep you company any longer."

Huo Yuhao said casually.

Moon waved his hand: "Go on, the new semester is about to start, prepare well."

Huo Yuhao turned and left.

After Huo Yuhao left, Mu En opened his cloudy eyes.

"Ultimate Ice, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, it seems that little peach is in luck. I'll have to tell Shao Zhe about it later. But how to make contact with it is up to them."

……

After leaving Moon, Huo Yuhao strolled around Shrek Academy.

The long winter has passed, and the trees along the road are sprouting tender green buds. The spring breeze still carries a slight chill, but the sunlight has become warm.

Shrek Academy, which had been quiet for a holiday, has become lively again.

The entrance to the college was bustling with people, including returning students, but mostly students and their families who came to take the new student assessment.

The entire campus was filled with youthful energy, and students who had been separated for a long time could be seen chatting excitedly everywhere.

Of course, many of the senior students had solemn expressions on their faces.

After all, the upcoming promotion exam is crucial to their chances of advancing to the second year, and nobody wants to pack up and go home right after the start of the semester.

Just then, a light blue figure rushed into the academy and ran straight towards the dormitory area, not even noticing Moon on the lounge chair at the entrance.

Wang Dong ran to the dormitory door in one breath, and just as he was about to raise his hand to knock, the door opened from the inside.

What came into view was Huo Yuhao's handsome face. After two rounds of beast taming and nurturing, his temperament had become even more outstanding, which made Wang Dong pause for a moment.

"What are you doing standing at the door, lost in thought?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and stepped aside.

"You're too late. I've been back for ages."

Wang Dong then came to his senses and followed him into the dormitory: "When did you get back? I thought you wouldn't arrive until the last day!"

"It's been about a week. I came back after I got the spirit ring."

After not seeing each other for a month, the two chatted for a long time.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden glow on Huo Yuhao's profile. Wang Dong would steal glances at him every now and then, her heart inexplicably racing.

"Yuhao, your holiday..."

Wang Dong hesitated before speaking.

"Has it gotten stronger again?"

"I guess so. What about you? You should have broken through to the Soul Master level by now, right?"

"how do you know?"

Wang Dong's eyes widened in surprise.

She did indeed break through to level 30 during the last part of her vacation, and she deliberately kept it a secret, intending to give Huo Yuhao a surprise later.

Huo Yuhao turned around, revealing a mysterious smile: "Just a guess." "Liar! You definitely figured it out!"

Wang Dong grumbled in dissatisfaction, but didn't ask any further questions.

After packing their things, the two went for a walk by the Sea God Lake.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the lake surface golden, and a gentle breeze ruffled their hair.

"The new semester has begun."

Huo Yuhao gazed at the shimmering lake surface.

"There are a lot of big things happening this semester."

Wang Dong skipped and hopped to the front of him, turned around to face him: "No matter what happens, we'll face it together, right?"

Seeing her radiant smile, Huo Yuhao smiled too: "Of course."

The next morning, Huo Yuhao finished his cultivation and opened his eyes, only to meet Wang Dong's gaze as he woke up.

"Hurry up and wash up."

Huo Yuhao jumped off the bed.

"We can't keep Teacher Wang Yan waiting for the first class of the new semester."

"Do not worry."

Wang Dong rubbed his sleepy eyes.

"Teacher Wang Yan is such a kind person, he won't say anything even if he's late."

"Alright, twelve-year-old Soul Master, if you don't get up now, I'm not waiting for you."

Wang Dong blushed instantly, grabbed a pillow and threw it at him: "Don't make fun of me!"

The two finished washing up amidst laughter and jokes, changed into their yellow school uniforms, and headed to the cafeteria.

As soon as I stepped out of the dormitory building, I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Yuhao! Wang Dong!"

Xiao Xiao jogged up to catch up, her black ponytail bouncing merrily behind her.

She was wearing her second-grade yellow school uniform today, and she looked especially energetic.

"You didn't even tell me you were coming back."

Xiao Xiao glared at the two of them, pretending to be angry.

Huo Yuhao explained with a smile.

"I've been busy cultivating these past few days, and Wang Dong only arrived yesterday."

"That's pretty much it."

Xiao Xiao then smiled.

"Since we've run into each other, why don't we have dinner together?"

"Okay, this meal is on me."

Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"Who said they were going to treat us? I heard them!"

The group turned to look.

"Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, you've arrived too."

Wu Feng walked over.

"Tsk tsk, what a womanizer, he didn't even invite me and Ning Tian to his dinner party."

Huo Yuhao was speechless.

"I swear to God, who knew you had arrived?"

The group chatted and laughed as they walked toward the cafeteria, encountering many classmates along the way and exchanging greetings.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, they met Beibei and Tang Ya.

Tang Ya waved happily at them: "Xiao Yuhao! How was your holiday?"

"Not bad, I obtained my second spirit ring."

Huo Yuhao replied.

"There's no problem with the upgrade assessment."

Beibei gently reminded, "Be careful during the assessment, don't be careless."

"Don't worry, Brother Bei."

Wang Dong was full of confidence.

"We're all geniuses!"
