Douluo: Huo Yuhao Returns from Devouring the Stars

Did you take drugs during the holidays to boost your soul power?!

"Dean, this is a long story. Let's sit down and talk about it slowly." Huo Yuhao pushed a chair to Yu Yu next to him and sat down himself.

Jing Hongchen leaned closer to the table and said expectantly, "Come on, share with us what your third-level soul mentor assessment was like."

Huo Yuhao cleared his throat before speaking, "As you know, my spirit is the eye of my body. It's known as the window to the soul and is closely connected to the brain. What you may not know is that even when the spirit eye is activated, it has a remarkable early warning capability, allowing me to avoid most sudden and fatal attacks!"

Jing Hongchen took a sip of tea. Although he didn't know how this related to Huo Yuhao passing the third-level soul engineer assessment, he didn't interrupt him. He nodded and signaled Huo Yuhao to continue.

Huo Yuhao continued, "In addition to its early warning capabilities, the Spirit Eye also seems to have a mysterious ability to guide destiny!"

"Destiny guides?!"

Jing Hongchen and Yu Yu were both shocked. At their age, especially at Jing Hongchen's level, they had long kept their distance from "fate".

And it is incredible that Huo Yuhao can actually feel such a mysterious thing based on his spirit eye martial soul!

Huo Yuhao said, "Yes, guided by this fleeting fate, I went to the Far North..."

Then Huo Yuhao directly passed on the original Huo cheat to Shrek Academy: "He encountered a dead Ice Jade Scorpion soul beast in the far north, and then fainted out of curiosity after touching it. When he woke up, he awakened his second martial soul, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!" and passed it to Jing Hongchen and Yu Yu.

"Dean, Teacher Yu, look."

Huo Yuhao stood up and quickly took off his clothes, revealing the exquisite Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion tattoo on his back.

"This is... an ice-blue scorpion tattoo!"

Before Jing Hongchen and Yu Yu could say anything else, they felt the low temperature chill coming from Huo Yuhao's Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion spirit!

"This... this is really how he awakened the Ice Jade Scorpion spirit, which possesses the ultimate ice attribute, just by picking up corpses?!"

Jing Hongchen and Yu Yu both jumped up and stared in horror at the tattoo on Huo Yuhao's back and the released Ice Scorpion spirit.

Even if Jing Hongchen and Yu Yu were unwilling to believe Huo Yuhao's bizarre experience, they had to believe the facts before them.

Is this the heaven-defying fortune of being the "Child of Destiny"?!

Guided by fate, he went to the Far North, and then by picking up corpses, he awakened the Ice Scorpion martial spirit with the ultimate ice attribute!

Jing Hongchen stared at Huo Yuhao with rapid breathing. At this moment, he felt that his heart was about to jump out.

Twin martial soul genius!

A peerless genius with twin martial souls who possess ultimate attributes and super soul guidance talent!

"After awakening my martial soul, I felt that the mysterious guidance of 'fate' still existed, so I wandered around randomly according to my feelings. I ended up discovering a dying thousand-year-old ice silkworm soul beast. After killing it, I wanted to leave, but in the end, I was led back by some mysterious force and successfully absorbed the soul ring!"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao released the second soul ring of his Spirit Eye Martial Soul, which was at the millennium level.

“This…this…this…!!!”

Looking at the purple thousand-year soul ring that slowly appeared under Huo Yuhao's feet, Jing Hongchen and Yu Yu felt dazzled and couldn't help rubbing their eyes. As a result, they found that the soul ring on Huo Yuhao was indeed a thousand-year soul ring!

"Normally, a soul master's second soul ring cannot exceed the thousand-year level, because the soul master's physical fitness cannot withstand the energy impact brought by absorbing the soul ring!"

"And you, you absorbed the Millennium Spirit Ring so easily!"

"this……!!???"

Touching a dead Ice Jade Scorpion awakened his second martial spirit, the Ice Jade Scorpion. Walking along the road, he encountered a dying Millennium Ice Silkworm and easily absorbed its spirit ring...

Jing Hongchen racked his brains trying to find a reasonable reason to explain all this, but found that his mind was blank.

Hiss~, is this the son of destiny? !

Chapter 28 Ninth-level soul guide device, blessing from the mortal world!

Huo Yuhao put away his spirit ring and martial spirit, and looked calmly at Jing Hongchen and Yu Yu who were greatly shocked.

If they couldn't even accept this explanation with "luck" added in, then he had no other choice.

Anyway, the facts are in front of us, the situation has changed, and they should try to convince themselves.

"With the soul power feedback from absorbing the Millennium Soul Ring, plus the Xuanshui Pills that Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen gave me, plus the Soul Ascension Pills you gave me, and finally, my hard work day and night for the past three months, my soul power has reached level 30."

Huo Yuhao took a sip of tea and continued, "As you all know, my theoretical knowledge of soul guides has reached the level of a third-level soul guide. With constant practice during this holiday and the blessing of my Spirit Eye martial spirit, it won't be difficult for me to reach the level of a third-level soul guide."

Jing Hongchen and Yu Yu looked at each other, both breathing heavily and unable to control themselves.

Possessing twin martial souls with ultimate attributes, he passed the third-level soul instructor assessment in just over three months, and his second soul ring is a thousand-year level...

The more Jing Hongchen thought about it, the more shocked he was by Huo Yuhao's amazing talent. Such a genius actually appeared in the Sun Moon Empire and appeared before his eyes!

There is no doubt that with Huo Yuhao's talent, as long as he practices diligently and grows up safely, he will definitely grow into an unparalleled strong man and become the number one person on the continent!

Even Jing Hongchen, who had seen many storms, couldn't help but breathe rapidly and sweat on his palms when faced with Huo Yuhao's amazing talent.

But when he thought about Huo Yuhao going to the dangerous Far North alone during the holiday, he couldn't help but feel scared.

"The Far North is fraught with danger. You could have told me to take you there, or asked the teachers at the academy to take you there. It would have been much better than facing the unknown risks alone..."

Jing Hongchen wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought to himself that he was lucky to have returned safely.

He also became an unprecedented genius!

"That mysterious sense of destiny came so suddenly, it felt fleeting. If I didn't head to the Far North immediately, I was worried it would disappear."

Huo Yuhao paused, then continued, "Besides, it was already vacation time, and you were all away from the academy. Even if I found you, you wouldn't likely believe in this 'fate' thing. The situation was urgent, so there was nothing we could do."

"Besides, I'm back now intact, and I've also successfully obtained my second martial soul and my second spirit ring!"

Jing Hongchen nodded heavily. What Huo Yuhao said made sense. Moreover, he had returned with great success. It was no exaggeration to say that he was the treasure of the academy!

Faced with the changes in Huo Yuhao today, even he, the head of Mingde Hall, was unsure of how to respond appropriately to him.

It seems that I must consult the knowledgeable and wise seniors on this matter!

Jing Hongchen paced back and forth anxiously, "Yuhao, never tell anyone the secret that you have twin spirits. It's best to only show yourself as a second-level spirit master!"

"You are a genius with twin martial souls possessing ultimate attributes, and you also possess an astonishing talent as a soul mentor. Your future training plan is no longer something I can decide on my own. I must consult with the seniors and secure the best training resources for you!"

"You must protect yourself during this time. We will suppress the fact that you have twin martial souls and are a third-level soul mentor. Just concentrate on your cultivation. I will ask an old friend to protect you in secret!"

Having said that, Jing Hongchen seemed to remember something. He wiped his chest and a piece of metal that looked very thin appeared in his hand.

The metal piece is round and as thin as paper, emitting a soft golden halo all over. It is covered with fine and regular openwork lines. The overall appearance has a special texture as thick as a mountain, without any soul power fluctuations seeping out of it.

"This is a ninth-level automatic trigger-type defensive soul guide. It's one of the ninth-level soul guides I've been so proud of over the years!"

Jing Hongchen stroked the metal piece and continued with a gentle look in his eyes, "I named it Hongchen Blessing. If you place it on the chest, it will automatically adhere to the soul master's body and absorb the soul master's soul power to become one with them. It can be closed or opened by the soul master's thoughts. If the soul master is attacked, it can also automatically sense it in advance and take defensive measures!"

"Hongchen's blessing?!" Huo Yuhao looked at the metal piece in Jing Hongchen's hand in shock.

This ninth-level soul guide appeared in the original novel. After the first Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition, Jing Hongchen went to Shrek Academy to retrieve the Sword of Judgment. Moon took the initiative to invite Jing Hongchen to enter the Sea God Pavilion. As a result, when Jing Hongchen was leaving, Moon, the strongest man on the continent, robbed him of this ninth-level soul guide on the spot.

Even the several ninth-level soul guides that Jing Hongchen had hidden thousands of miles away from Shrek City were secretly taken away by Shrek's noble teachers.

Jing Hongchen felt extremely aggrieved during that Shrek trip. Not only did Moon and the "Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Church" Xuanzi detain his Sword of Judgment on the pretext that "Ma Xiaotao's life is far more valuable than the lives of your students in the academy", but they also forcibly took away several ninth-level soul guides that he had brought with him.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jing Hongchen has entered the lair of the evil soul master.

Of course, he didn't expect that after he showed his talent, Jing Hongchen would directly take out his precious ninth-level soul guide, Hongchen Blessing.

Jing Hongchen nodded and continued, "In addition to being able to sense and defend against attacks in advance, the Red Dust Blessing has no restrictions on the user's cultivation level. Even a second or third-ring spirit master can use it. Its defensive effect is equivalent to the user concentrating all their spirit power in a powerful attack without using any spirit skills, while consuming only one-fifth of the spirit power of the strongest attack."

"In short, it's suitable for all spirit masters. Of course, the higher the spirit power level and the stronger the strength, the greater its defensive effect. In the hands of a Titled Douluo, it can even exert Super Douluo-level defense!"

"In addition, it has a fifteen-second invincibility shield, and its defense is three times the user's cultivation level. However, after using it, it must be recharged before it can be used again. However, this recharging process is automatic. If the soul master meditates and cultivates soul power for three days, it will automatically absorb the soul master's soul power to complete the recharging. Of course, if it is actively recharged, it only takes one day and one night."

Jing Hongchen handed the Red Dust Blessing to Huo Yuhao, and said with a kind face and gentle tone: "Yuhao, this Red Dust Blessing has been with me for many years. Now you need it more than I do..."

"Dean, this... a ninth-level soul guide, can you give it to me just like that?" Huo Yuhao hesitated, not daring to take it.

"We can still make a ninth-level soul guide if we want, but a genius like you can't just get one whenever you want."

Jing Hongchen forced the Red Dust Blessing onto Huo Yuhao's chest. Only after Huo Yuhao successfully attached the Red Dust Blessing to his chest and integrated them into one did he nod with relief.

Chapter 29 There must be some pills, right?

Of course, Huo Yuhao would not refuse the blessing of the mortal world given by Jing Hongchen.

Compared to the helpless freedom of being like a rootless duckweed, he prefers to take shelter under a big tree.

His opponent is the God King Tang, the law enforcer in the divine realm who can deify the gods, as well as various undercurrents on the mainland, such as some powerful soul masters who will start with "you have already chosen the way to die" for "daring to hurt my academy students", so he needs to be especially careful.

He can't always hide in a dark corner like a mouse and develop. The bright sunshine and the gorgeous world are where he should be, but these places are interspersed with rapids and dangerous shoals, so he needs protection, or even blessing?

In short, only by showing your talent can you get more resources and protection from powerful soul masters.

Although he would not tell Jing Hongchen, who was both his teacher and friend, all his secrets were within his grasp, he could at least tell him the secrets of his twin martial souls.

Jing Hongchen gave Hongchen protection to him out of concern for his personal safety, but also as an investment.

If he doesn't want the investor's investment, how can the investor continue to invest in him?

It is necessary to give and take within a limited range in order to promote the relationship between both parties and achieve a win-win or even a multi-win situation!

"Dean, this Red Dust Blessing still relies too much on one's own strength. Is there any soul guide that can directly ignore all attacks and cannot be broken even by a Super Douluo in a short time?" Huo Yuhao felt the Red Dust Blessing that was integrated with him and asked subconsciously.

"Yes, yes. I have nine...eh?"

Perhaps because he was too excited, Jing Hongchen didn't pay attention to the content of Huo Yuhao's words at first. When he reacted, he realized how outrageous the soul guide device Huo Yuhao wanted was.

"I'm giving you a soul guide that even a Super Douluo can't break for a while... You're overestimating my attainments in soul guides..."

Jing Hongchen paused, then continued, "As long as you don't leave Mingdu, you don't have to worry about your safety at all."

"As long as a Titled Douluo who is not registered with the Empire enters the Mingdu area, we will find him immediately, so you are still very free within the Mingdu area. As for leaving Mingdu, there will definitely be someone to protect you secretly..."

"Is that so? Then there must be some pills that can improve mental strength, right? Can you give me some high-quality pills with few side effects so that I can take more of them?" Huo Yuhao rubbed his hands and looked at Jing Hongchen with anticipation.

"Of course there are good pills for improving your mental strength, but I must tell you that taking pills in moderation is beneficial and harmless. Taking too much is like taking poison. Take these first. I'll give them to you when you can use pills again." Jing Hongchen threw two white porcelain bottles to Huo Yuhao and said with a faint smile.

"Don't worry, Dean. I know what I'm doing."

……

"Master Kong, this is the situation. Yuhao is an unprecedented genius. I am undecided about his training. There are undercurrents within the empire, and outside of the empire, there are three other empires and Shrek Academy eyeing him covetously. You are the only one I can trust right now!"

After leaving the academy, Jing Hongchen rushed to the Imperial Worship Hall to seek advice from Kong Deming.

Kong Deming stood in front of the window, his tall shadow cast by the setting sun.

"Master Kong, I've carefully researched Huo Yuhao's background. He's an orphan who grew up on the border between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire. He went to Dongyang City to get an identity certificate before heading south to Mingdu..."
