Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 220: Taking Advantage of Someone's Predicament

Their gazes returned to Bing Di, and the arena quieted down. Huo Yuhao skillfully took Xue Di's delicate hand.

Xue Di's body stiffened, wanting to pull back but failing. She felt a surge of anger; this man was simply taking liberties. An intense chill emanated from her.

Huo Yuhao leaned close to Xue Di's ear and whispered, "Xue Di, Bing'er is at a crucial moment. You don't want to disturb her, do you?"

Xue Di glared at him fiercely upon hearing this, but the aura rising from her body subsided. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao's lips curled into a sly smile, revealing a triumphant scheme.

With his real girlfriend Bing Di right beside him, Huo Yuhao was taking advantage of Xue Di, causing a strange little thrill in his heart, as if he were having a secret affair.

He looked at Xue Di with burning eyes, wondering if she would resist if he took another step closer.

Xue Di felt the invasive gaze of the person beside her. Her face remained calm, but her heart was actually in turmoil. Just as Huo Yuhao said, she didn't dare to make any big movements in order not to disturb Bing Di.

In the end, Huo Yuhao didn't make any further moves. It was better to proceed gradually with this kind of thing. Haste makes waste.

Two hours passed. Just as Huo Yuhao was curious as to why Bing Di was taking so long, the second soul ring appeared on Bing Di's body, also black, representing ten thousand years.

But it didn't end there. The two waited for a whole day and night. On the evening of the second day, Bing Di, having finally completed her task, slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, five pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul rings floated around Bing Di.

Huo Yuhao was already numb from watching. He felt like Bing Di had soared to the sky in one step, but in reality, it wasn't that exaggerated. Thinking about how many years she had cultivated before, and what her cultivation level was, this was nothing compared to that.

Bing Di got up and walked towards the two with joy. Suddenly, she slowed down, her gaze falling on their clasped hands.

Xue Di's face flushed upon seeing this, and she belatedly withdrew her hand, feeling a little guilty, as if she had been caught cheating.

Bing Di gave Huo Yuhao a meaningful look, not too surprised. After all, she had seen his infatuated look when he first met Xue Di.

...

The core area of the Far North, a vast ice field, with swirling snow and piercing winds. This was a forbidden zone for life. Huo Yuhao and Bing Di walked hand in hand, as if the harsh weather around them didn't exist.

"Actually, wouldn't it be the same if you stayed in the Far North to cultivate? Why do you have to go back to the Body Sect?" Bing Di asked.

"Alright, Bing'er, you are a Soul King now. It's only a matter of months before you become a Soul Emperor. I'll come to pick you up then," Huo Yuhao said helplessly.

"Okay." Bing Di pouted, clearly unhappy.

Whoosh!

A ray of light flashed, and Tianmeng appeared in human form in front of the two.

"Tianmeng," Huo Yuhao said softly.

Tianmeng looked at the two with a complicated expression, and said bitterly, "Yuhao, I know what you want to say. You don't need to feel guilty. Bing Di never promised me anything, did she?"

"I just feel a little uncomfortable, losing so inexplicably." Tianmeng was so miserable. It had clearly only taken a nap, but its goddess had run off with someone else.

Uh! Is he really that open-minded?

Huo Yuhao was a little stunned. Without sorrowful cries or accusatory questions, was Tianmeng really that straightforward?

Actually, upon closer thought, it was clear that Tianmeng didn't have any real feelings for Bing Di. They had only met twice, and it was under the circumstances of being chased. Love at first sight was just a matter of being captivated by beauty.

It was similar to Huo Yuhao's feelings for Xue Di. If Xue Di ran off with someone else now, Huo Yuhao would feel uncomfortable, but he wouldn't be heartbroken. At most, he would feel a little regretful.

Huo Yuhao lowered his head and remained silent, not comforting Tianmeng. He had stolen someone else's goddess, so wouldn't comforting him be like rubbing salt in the wound?

"Bing Di, considering how long we've known each other, can you introduce me to a female scorpion from your clan?" Tianmeng looked at Bing Di with anticipation.

Huo Yuhao's expression turned strange. Was Tianmeng fixated on scorpions? And this change of heart was a little too fast, wasn't it? It was ruining his image.

Several black lines appeared on Bing Di's forehead. She replied unhappily, "Introduce you, introduce you. But I advise you not to have too much hope."

Song Ming and Lin Xi were also arranged to protect Ye Lingling. The two were indebted to Huo Yuhao and had no complaints.

After that, it was five months of arduous cultivation. Thanks to the energy of the Myriad Year Profound Ice Essence, Huo Yuhao's soul power successfully reached level 50 after five months. In the Far North, under Xue Di's guidance, he successfully condensed his fifth soul ring using the energy of the Seven-Colored Exquisite Lotus Core.

The fifth soul ring was a hundred thousand years old. Fortunately, it was a soul ring condensed by himself. If Huo Yuhao had hunted a soul beast, absorbing a hundred thousand year soul ring would still have been very risky.

Both of the newly generated soul skills were amplification types.

Huo Yuhao didn't really care about soul skills. What made him happy was that the soul ring of the Seven-Colored Exquisite Lotus Core actually made his soul power jump three levels, reaching level 54. It had to be said that it was indeed a fairy herb. He didn't expect that the fairy herb that enhanced spiritual power would bring him such a great boost to his soul power after transforming into a soul ring.

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, five months had passed.

Body Sect, the top floor of the library. Huo Yuhao gently closed the yellowed book in his hand. The cover of this book was labeled, 'Detailed Explanation of Formations.' Putting the book back in its original place, Huo Yuhao turned and slowly left.

Of course, Douluo Continent also had formations, mostly passed down from ancient times. The awakening formation used when people awakened their martial souls at the age of six was one of them.

Later, when the Sun Moon Empire collided with them, the core of soul tools was also formations.

But overall, the formations on Douluo Continent were extremely crude. Huo Yuhao only spent half a month to memorize all the content of the books on formations in the library. The rest was practical operation.

Learning formations was only to lay the foundation for the second soul core. Huo Yuhao had many ideas for the second soul core, and formations were an indispensable part of it.

Walking out of the library, someone immediately stepped forward to report: "Young Master, someone is seeking an audience with you outside the sect. The person claims to be from Shrek Academy."

"Shrek?" Huo Yuhao frowned. Perhaps because of Tang San, or perhaps because of Shrek and those hypocritical old things from the Sea God Pavilion, he was very disgusted with that so-called holy land for soul masters.

"Do you know the name of the visitor?"

"Reporting to Young Master, the person is called Jiang Zequn, and he said that their Dean has a message to convey to you," the disciple replied respectfully.

"Jiang Zequn." Huo Yuhao had never met this person, but he had heard of him, the fourth-grade class teacher of Shrek Outer Court.

Huo Yuhao sneered in his heart. Yan Shaozhe, that old thing, thought too highly of himself, sending someone to deliver a message. Was the Body Sect an affiliate of your Shrek? Or did he still think of him as a student of Shrek?

Anyone who didn't know would think he was here to deliver an imperial decree. He waved his hand dismissively, "Go, tell him I'm in seclusion and don't have time."

"Yes." The disciple bowed and quickly retreated.
