Na'er: You're Becoming a Soul King?!
Feeling the powerful aura suddenly emanating from Yun Ming, Huo Yuhao tensed up.
That was the pressure emanating from Limit Douluo; even a fleeting moment of its release was enough to make one's heart tremble.
Huo Yuhao's body tensed instinctively, and his hair stood on end.
But compared to his body's instinctive reactions, his mind worked even faster.
In that instant, he had figured out what was going on.
Yun Ming's attitude at this moment clearly indicates that he believes Na'er was brought here by him.
And that's not all; Yun Ming probably still believes that he and Na'er have romantic feelings for each other.
But that's not how it works at all!
Na'er was brought by Gu Yue; before this, he had only seen Na'er once on Sea God Island.
Huo Yuhao snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "Senior, you've misunderstood. Na'er and I aren't in that kind of relationship..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Ming interrupted him.
"You're already starting to make excuses?"
Yun Ming frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.
"They have absolutely no sense of responsibility."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but didn't know where to begin.
Yun Ming looked at him like this, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.
He paused, then continued:
"Na'er has been by my side for many years, and countless geniuses from the academy have fawned over her."
"But she never gave those people a second glance, not even bothering to look at them."
"But she seems to treat you differently."
Huo Yuhao listened quietly, without interrupting this time.
He reflected on his experiences with Na'er. Was that really the case?
Yun Ming continued, "Perhaps Na'er doesn't like you right now, but she definitely has feelings for you."
His gaze fell on Huo Yuhao's face, his eyes filled with a complex expression.
"However, if you two could get together, you would be a perfect match, a match made in heaven."
Huo Yuhao was somewhat speechless; yet another teacher who worried about his disciple.
However, Na'er's situation is different from Ma Xiaotao's. Ma Xiaotao has Evil Fire that she needs to suppress, but Na'er doesn't have Evil Fire.
What is Yun Ming worrying about?
Could it be that she really has taken a liking to me and wants to take me as her "son-in-law"?
Wait a minute...
A sudden inspiration struck Huo Yuhao.
Na'er doesn't actually have Evil Fire to suppress, but now his Magic can strengthen Na'er's bloodline and enhance her strength!
Today, after fusing with the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, Na'er's strength has increased dramatically.
He looked at Yun Ming opposite him, secretly wondering if this Qingtian Douluo was the kind of "utilitarian" teacher like Yan Shaozhe.
Indeed, although Yan Shaozhe acted very generously in front of Huo Yuhao had already seen through his true nature.
Although Yan Shaozhe did not actively try to match him up with Ma Xiaotao in front of him, Ma Xiaotao accidentally let it slip once.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's gaze towards Yun Ming took on a strange quality.
Yun Ming noticed his gaze and frowned slightly.
What kind of look is that?
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao snapped out of his daze and quickly suppressed his chaotic thoughts.
He looked at Yun Ming with a serious expression, determined to make things clear.
"Senior, you've really misunderstood. Na'er and I aren't in the kind of relationship you're thinking of, and... I already have someone I like."
Yun Ming raised an eyebrow and asked, "Your junior sister, Gu Yue?"
Huo Yuhao nodded. It seemed that Yun Ming had done some research before coming, at least knowing Gu Yue's name.
Yun Ming frowned even more, his tone tinged with displeasure. "Since you already have someone you like, you shouldn't be bothering Na'er."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao's breath hitched.
He felt that Yun Ming was being somewhat hypocritical.
When he was young, wasn't he also a womanizer?
Aunt Leng had told him about these things.
Forget about confidantes and romantic affairs; young Yun Ming was far more adventurous than Huo Yuhao.
Now, instead of lecturing him, they're doing it all?
However, Huo Yuhao knew that explaining would be useless in front of a senior like Yun Ming.
Once someone has made up their mind, nothing they say will change it.
So he didn't say anything more, but simply replied earnestly, "Don't worry, senior, I will keep my distance from Na'er."
A hint of displeasure flashed in Yun Ming's eyes. His precious disciple, Huo Yuhao, actually looked down on him?
He stood up and gave a cold snort.
"You'd better watch yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from Huo Yuhao's sight, as if he had never existed, leaving no trace.
Huo Yuhao sat in the pavilion, looking at the empty space opposite him, and let out a long sigh.
Yun Ming this time seems to be solely out of concern for the safety of his beloved disciple.
After talking with Huo Yuhao, he went to the Spirit Pagoda and met with Na'er.
What the master and disciple said remains unknown to outsiders.
In short, he left afterwards and did not forcibly take Na'er away.
Na'er had finally managed to get out on her own, so naturally she was reluctant to go back.
In the past few days, under Gu Yue's guidance, she has explored almost the entire Eastsea City.
Until six days later...
"You're going back to Shrek City?"
Gu Yue looked at Huo Yuhao with a somewhat surprised expression.
She had assumed that Huo Yuhao would stay in the East Sea during this holiday.
Huo Yuhao nodded. "I made some progress in my cultivation last night, and I'm preparing to return to Shrek City to break through."
Over the past few days, Na'er and Huo Yuhao have become quite familiar with each other.
Upon hearing this, a look of shock flashed across her pretty face.
Those large, purple eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "You... you're going to become Soul King?"
An eleven-year-old Soul King?
What does this mean?
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but smile at her expression.
He nodded, which was taken as admission.
In fact, with a normal breakthrough, he wouldn't need to return to Shrek City at all.
After all, his Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Soul's Wangsheng was enough to directly grant him Soul Ring.
It doesn't matter where you make a breakthrough.
But this breakthrough is unusual, because he is about to condense Soul Core.
That's right, Huo Yuhao, with Soul Power Level 50, is about to condense his first Soul Core!
Having twice the time of an ordinary person, he cultivated his Soul Power to level 50 at the age of eleven, which is actually not considered fast at all.
This was partly due to his distraction in researching forging, Soul Tool, and the secret techniques of the Body Sect, but more importantly, he was also deliberately controlling his cultivation speed.
According to several teachers, his situation is not one where the faster he cultivates, the better.
He currently only has the body of a teenager, and rapid growth of his Soul Power would also affect his physical growth.
Bones, meridians, internal organs... all of these need time to develop and mature.
If his Soul Power increases too quickly, his body won't be able to keep up, which will cause problems. That's why he has been compressing his Soul Power.
With his current cultivation level as Soul Ancestor, the refinement of his Soul Power is already comparable to that of Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo!
It is precisely because of this that Huo Yuhao has the confidence, and the necessity, to condense Soul Core when he breaks through to the Soul King.
This is also why he needs to return to Shrek City.
At such a crucial moment, he naturally needed Leng Yaozhu, the person he trusted most, to protect him.
