Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 27.1. Revenge? Brother?

The teachers of Shrek Academy had seen many geniuses, but freshmen like Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong, who were this fixated on victory and this resolute in their beliefs they were simply too rare.

The Director of the Martial Soul Department, Du Weilun, walked over to the stunned Zhou Yi. Teacher Zhou, congratulations on teaching these two excellent students. Report them to the higher-ups. I believe that they both have the qualifications to become core disciples of the outer courtyard.

Only then did Zhou Yi react. She hurriedly replied, Director Du, theres still Huo Yuhao. Hes the core of their team, as well as their team leader.

Du Weilun was stunned, but he shook his head. He only has a single soul ring. Hes too weak. Also, he should be one of those rarely-seen spiritual-type soul masters. Dont you know how few spiritual-type soul beasts there are? With that, he walked off the tall stage.

As the Director of the Martial Soul Department, Du Weilun wasnt just strong, he was calculative as well. He naturally saw the role that Huo Yuhao had played during the match. He was the one that had stimulated the nearly-insane fighting spirits of Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao. However, he had important responsibilities as a Director; he naturally wouldnt choose a core disciple just for his personality and leadership skills.

After listening to Du Weiluns words, Zhou Yis entire body shook. Right! Shed always overlooked this simple problem. Although Huo Yuhaos first soul ring had a strong soul skill attached to it, he was still a spiritual-type soul master. Spiritual-type soul beasts were simply too rare, and strong ones were even rarer. Under these circumstances, the chances of Huo Yuhao becoming an expert was naturally much smaller than normal.

No problem. If the Martial Soul Department doesnt want him, our Soul Tool Department will take him. A bright light flickered through Fan Yus eyes as he patted Zhou Yis shoulder. Its hard to find strong spiritual-type soul beasts, but its still possible to find ordinary ones. As long as he has enough soul power, hell still be able to become an outstanding student of the Soul Tool Departmenteven if he only has his first soul ring. I want this core disciple.

In front of Fan Yu, Zhou Yi didnt seem to have any of her usual iciness, No, its not time yet. You need to give him three years. Yuhao is a specially-invited student who was recommended by the Tang Sect; he shouldve been a rogue soul master who grew up in a poverty-stricken family. Thats why he only has a ten year soul ring. Hes always been the most attentive student during class time, and although hes had a somewhat late start, hes the most hardworking and serious student Ive ever met. His foundation is too weak, thus I need to stay by his side and continue teaching him. Three years will be enough for him to obtain a basic knowledge of how things are, and with his current level of diligence, he should be able to obtain three rings at the very least by that point. Once he obtains his third ring, hell naturally have brighter prospects. At that time, he can be the core disciple of your Soul Tool Department.

Fan Yu smiled. I can see that you like this child a lot. Since youve already planned things out for him, Ill listen to you. Once the freshmen assessment has ended, take him over to see me, and Ill let him participate in the Soul Tool Department in addition to his regular studies. Ill see whether or not he has any talent in that field.

Yup. Zhou Yi nodded her head, Ill go check on Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong. Fan Yu, believe me, the Martial Soul Department will definitely regret not taking Huo Yuhao in as a core disciple.

Fan Yu replied, Then, lets wait and see.

Wang Dong was left in a slightly better condition than Xiao Xiao, as hed only used up all of his energy. More importantly, he had his fusion partner, Huo Yuhao. Once Huo Yuhao hugged him, his soul power naturally flowed into Wang Dongs body, allowing him to quickly recover a strand of his soul power. After using their Haodong Power, Wang Dong was able to wake up from his unconscious state in less than ten minutes.

However, Xiao Xiaos condition was much worse than Wang Dongs. She needed both soul power to active her Cauldrons Trembling Quake, as well as an extremely strong amount of control over it to maintain it. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Xiao would only use her National Treasure to deal a single attack, sending her opponent flying while applying a forced stun effect. The strength of this single blow far exceeded that of using both of her soul skills one after another. However, she didnt do this against Xie Huanyue. Instead, shed used it to trap him. Shed done so for the sake of buying even more time for Wang Dong. Xie Huanyues defense was simply too strong, and Xiao Xiao had been scared that hed charge straight back towards them if he was sent flying away. Furthermore, there was a high chance of that happening due to his bodys bouncing speed.

Because of that, Xiao Xiao hadnt just overdrawn her soul power alone; shed overdrawn her spiritual power as well. As soon as the match had ended, shed instantly sunk into a deep coma.

Fortunately, they were in Shrek Academy, which had no shortages of healing medicines. After consuming a few medicinal pills, Xiao Xiao sank into a deep sleep. However, the teacher that treated her said that shed have to rest for a full day, at the very minimum. Furthermore, she couldnt be disturbed in any way at all, so that the medicinal pills that had been used on her wouldnt leave any aftereffects. In other words, Xiao Xiao wouldnt be able to participate in the following two matches and that was a conservative estimate.

Zhou Yi personally carried Xiao Xiao back to her room for her to rest, while Huo Yuhao carried the weakened Wang Dong back to their dorm room.

Wang Dong, should we give up on the next match? As he looked at Wang Dongs pale face, Huo Yuhao sighed gently.

No way. Wang Dong knew that Huo Yuhao was concerned about the state of his body, but his current will to fight was still as strong as it previously was. Hed never been as serious as this towards anything else as he was now.

Yuhao, I know that youre worried about me. But we have to continue on with this tournament. If we just gave up like this, how could we face Xiao Xiao? She may have fainted, but theres still the two of us. And, dont we have our Haodong Power? Well definitely be able to recover before the afternoon match. We have to fight for Xiao Xiao, and wait for her to come back.

As he looked at Wang Dongs determined eyes, Huo Yuhaos heart was completely moved. True feelings had blossomed between them as a result of their hardships. The matches that had occurred yesterday and today had rapidly narrowed the gap between him, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao. The feelings between the three of them were no longer those of fellow schoolmates, but those of comrades-in-arms who were willing to live and die together. Although this wasnt a true battlefield, they already treated the tournament as one.

Whatre you waiting for? Hurry up. As he spoke, Wang Dong raised his hands.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, then placed his palms on Wang Dongs palms. He spoke with a resolute tone in his voice, Lets fight for Xiao Xiao.

Sea Gods Island, the Lakeside.

Xuan Lao, what do you think? Wang Yan stood beside Xuan Lao and asked in a quiet voice.

Xuan Lao had already finished his chicken legs, and there were now chicken wings around him. It seemed as though hed never be full.

Those two fellas arent bad. As for that fella with the Body Soul you were talking about, hes lacking by quite a bit. He should have a skill thats similar to a spiritual detection-type skill, however its unfortunate that his first soul ring is only ten years old. This is a flaw that cant be made up for. As he spoke, Xuan Lao swallowed a mouthful of wine.

Wang Yan replied, But, Xuan Lao, he still has a Body Soul!
