Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

Chapter 68.1. Shrek Guardians

Two similar figures stood together.

Brother, so how about it? Is there a chance for you to make a move? Dai Huabin asked resentfully.

Dai Yueheng snorted coldly. Youd best give up. Theres no chance. Huo Yuhaos even more talented than you. He has a skill called Spiritual Detection that can benefit every single one of his teammates. Furthermore, its obvious that Elder Xuan likes him a lot. The two consecutive matches we had were to show off his strength for everyone to approve of him. I dont even need to tell you what kind of person Elder Xuan is again. Also, mother is very angry over this incident. Fortunately, fathers not home. Otherwise, youd be in for a lot of trouble.

Mother has told me to pass on a piece of news to you. If there is a next time, nobody is going to help you. Do you know how much pressure mother suffered to keep this matter quiet? Even the royal family doesnt dare to offend the academy. You were actually this rash?

Dai Huabins eyes turned red. Dont tell me that youre just going to let this go? Did our men die for nothing?

Bastard! Dai Yueheng suddenly pulled his hand back and slapped Dai Huabins face. The latter staggered, and nearly fell to the ground.

How old are you already? Dai Yueheng asked sternly, Do you not know the difference between the clans interests and your private grudges? If this were a soul master academy within our country, Id have let you do anything you wanted. But this is Shrek! Dont you know what the word Shrek means? If you want to continue staying here, youd better back down. Is this a place where you can simply do as you wish?

As for that Huo Yuhao, not only can we not go against him, we even have to rope him in. Hes still very weak now, but he has the sovereign abilities of a twin-souled soul master and an Ultimate martial soul. Hes a precious treasure even in our Shrek Academy. After the matter that you started, the old fellas from the academy will definitely protect him even more strictly. If you can rope him into our clan, do you know how many benefits well get? Have you forgotten the task our mother gave us?

Dai Huabin turned silent. Though his eyes were still filled with rage, hed calmed down.

Dai Yuehengs expression softened slightly. Go back first. Dont think too much about it. Even though you cant take Huo Yuhaos position, the other positions might not be as stable. Word hard, and youll have a chance to become one of the Seven Monsters. After this tournament, Ill have the qualifications to graduate from the inner courtyard. Ill return to our clan first, and prepare for our major project under our mothers plans.

Okay. Dai Huabin nodded. After he turned away and left, he sneered inwardly, Dai Yueheng, werent you just born a few years before me? Therell be a day when you wont be able to strut around in front of me. Once Im your age, Ill definitely be able to surpass the current you.

Morning. Amidst the misty gates of Shrek Academy, a group of people slowly walked out. From their ages, it was clear that they were students of Shrek Academy. However, they werent wearing their uniforms today. Some of the students were wearing clothes made of cloth, while some were wearing ones with flowery designs; all of them wore different things.

Flowery clothes werent necessarily beautiful, and ones made of cloth didnt necessarily represent mediocrity. The most obvious delegates of the two types of clothes were Yao Haoxuan and Jiang Nannan.

As a result of his skinny body, Yao Haoxuan looked somewhat wretched with his flowery clothes on. On the other hand, the cloth-wearing Jiang Nannan looked incomparably elegant.

Huo Yuhao no longer wore the set of clothes hes brought to the academy. However, he treasured the set of clothes his mother had made for him, and had thus placed them in the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges. Currently, he was no longer the poor young boy who didnt have a single penny to his name. The black set of warriors robes he wore made him look extremely nimble. Due to the changes that had occurred to his body, he looked fourteen to fifteen years old, even though he wasnt even thirteen yet. The well-proportioned muscles underneath his robes seemed to contain an explosive amount of power within them.

Wang Dong was no longer as tall as Huo Yuhao, but his slender body, elegant aura, and clever yet beautiful eyes were extremely captivating. If the prettiest among the girls was Jiang Nannan, he was definitely the most handsome of the boys. In terms of pure appearance, he was comparable to Jiang Nannan.

The sun had just risen from the east, but they were already leaving the academy. This group of people naturally consisted of the official and preparatory teams of the Shreks Seven Monsters. Elder Xuan wasnt the only person leading the group; Huo Yuhaos teacher, Wang Yan, also tagged along with them.

Only now did Huo Yuhao know that Elder Xuan was Teacher Wangs master. Only, Elder Xuan wouldnt allow the former to address him as such. Elder Xuan liked his inheriting disciple very much, even though he wasnt comparable to the other Heavens Chosen in terms of cultivation. Wang Yan could travel far along the path of research into martial souls, and he would be able to teach within the inner courtyard after two more years of practice.

The group of almost twenty people people walked together in twos and threes, but Elder Xuan was still as messy as ever, with his bottle gourd and chicken legs in his hands. The foodstuffs he ate seemed to alternate between chicken legs and chicken wings, and he didnt seem to ever get bored of eating them.

Possibly due to the fact that he wanted to eat and drink, Elder Xuan didnt walk especially quickly; he walked at around the pace of an ordinary person. This gave the entire group a relaxing and leisurely feeling. With their physical abilities, walking at such a pace was simply a type of pleasure.

Compared to when he had just entered the academy, Huo Yuhao had experienced an earth-shattering transformation. Hed entered by relying on the Tang Sects special quota, and not only did he have a pitiful amount of soul power, he didnt even have a single attacking skill. His body was as frail as an ordinary persons.

The fact that he was able to completely change everything within a short year couldnt be fully attributed to his two intelligent soul rings; his painstaking hard work couldnt be ignored. It wouldnt be an exaggeration to say that Huo Yuhao had put in more than twice the amount of effort as the other students. He didnt even have any time to rest.

Although he now possessed talent that made even the upper echelons of the academy approve of him, he didnt dare to relax at all. He deeply remembered what his Teacher Wang Yan had told him; as a wielder of an Ultimate martial soul, his cultivation speed would drastically decrease after reaching Rank 30. At that time, his cultivation speed wouldnt be comparable to that of an ordinary soul master. He could cultivate alongside Wang Dong, but he still paid attention to this matter. Moreover, he was even dual-cultivating in the Martial Soul and Soul Tool Departments. Thus, he had to work even harder.

After the earnest conversation he had had with He Caitou, Huo Yuhao paid much more attention to the Ultimate Soldier Plan. If he could become a person that could change the entire situation of a battlefield by himself, he would have the qualifications to seek his revenge!

Due to his current mentality, Huo Yuhao didnt want to waste any time. Seeing that they werent walking too quickly, he immediately whispered to Wang Dong, Lets cultivate for a while.

Wang Dong glared at him unhappily. Im gonna die of exhaustion. What bad luck I have, having a roommate like you.

Huo Yuhao chuckled, Havent you felt that youve been improving so quickly with me urging you on? You should be grateful to me.

Wang Dong snorted, Id rather rest for a bit. Come. Youre not allowed to use Spiritual Detection.

With that, Wang Dong ran straight towards Huo Yuhao. However, instead of colliding with him, he flickered around the latters body at a rapid rate.

Huo Yuhao continued to slowly follow the group, but they were at the very back of the group, and thus wouldnt be afraid of anyone noticing them. Huo Yuhao raised his hand, then started to make pushing and pulling motions with a regular tempo. A pale, white light could faintly be seen at the tops of his hands.

Wang Dong immediately slowed down. Evidently, hed sensed what Huo Yuhao was doing. However, he immediately accelerated using his soul power, doing his best to maintain his current level of speed.

Whilst walking together with Bei Bei, He Caitou turned around. He saw Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong with a weird look in his eyes and whispered, Senior brother, isnt Wang Dong using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Tracks? Whats Huo Yuhao doing?

Bei Bei naturally saw what the two of them were doing. He revealed a sincere look of admiration on his face. Huo Yuhaos using another secret technique of our Tang Sect. Its called the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, and its user can use their soul power to release a pushing or pulling motion within a fixed range. Its a skill thats extremely practical in close-combat. Ill teach it to you later. Actually, even if your martial soul isnt a combat-oriented one, youll be able to wield a decent amount of strength in a close-combat situation once youve finished training in our techniques.

Xiao Xiao looked towards the two of them with a somewhat envious look in her eyes, then moved closer to Bei Bei, Senior brother, lets try this out as well.

Bei Bei couldnt help but laugh. Were not too suitable for what theyre doing. The training theyre doing now is more suitable for people whose cultivations are closer to each other. If I use my Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon on you, you wont even be able to use your Ghost Shadow Perplexing Tracks.

Xiao Xiaos lips pouted, Those two are so close that theyre like the same person. I cant interrupt them either! Theyre both guys, so why are they so intimate with each other? Hmph!

She was truly somewhat envious of the intimate relationship that Wang Dong had with Huo Yuhao. In the past, shed thought that it would be much easier for her to mix around with guys due to the fact that she was a girl! However, the intimacy that Huo Yuhao had with Wang Dong was evidently much deeper than the friendship she had with them.

He Caitou gave a silly laugh, Since the two of them can complete a fusion skill, theyre naturally close to each other. However, a martial fusion between two people who dont share the same bloodline is quite rare. Xiao Xiao, why dont I help you out? I dont know how to use the Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, but I can use some of my weaker soul tools to help you train your Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. How about that?

Though she felt that He Caitous extremely rugged body and black skin looked somewhat fierce, Xiao Xiao was always a very kind and straightforward person in her interactions with other people. Thus, she nodded, Sure! I want to train hard as well. Otherwise, Id deserve to be eliminated if I lagged behind them.
