This made Xiao Xiao and the others even more certain.
The so-called Tang Yuhao before them and Huo Yuhao probably did not know each other at all. Otherwise, how could he not even know where Huo Yuhao was?
Could their names simply be similar by coincidence? But with their faces also bearing some resemblance, it was a little strange.
Seeing Xiao Xiao fall silent, Tang Yuhao grew somewhat anxious. He looked at her, put on the most sincere expression he could manage, and spoke softly.
"This is really important to me."
Those words brought Xiao Xiao back to her senses. Thinking of how similar the two looked, she supposed Huo Yuhao would want to meet him too. So she said softly, "He's from Heaven Dou Imperial Soul Master Academy."
"I only saw him go upstairs. I don't know exactly where he's staying."
Hearing that, Tang Yuhao nodded and thanked her, then immediately ran to the front desk to ask about the relevant lodging information.
The receptionist, however, looked at Tang Yuhao with an indescribable expression. There was nothing he could do, especially when the information was private. If he casually told someone where guests from another country were staying, wouldn't the Star Luo Empire's protection of customer privacy be nothing but a fart?
Tang Yuhao seemed to realize the difference as well, so he could only explain.
"That person and I might be brothers. We just haven't met before."
Looking at his face, the receptionist hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head gently and said with some helplessness,
"Then you'll meet at the venue sooner or later."
That took some of the fight out of Tang Yuhao, and he could only plan to wait for a chance there.
Before he could go and wait like that, Wang Yan merely looked at the scene and gently patted Huo Yuhao, who was about to leave, on the shoulder.
Afterward, given the situation, Wang Yan could only ask the reserve team to go first in the coming battle.
After all, what was their situation now? Of the seven main team members, three were injured and four were dead...
Hearing this, Tang Yuhao had mixed feelings. He had originally wanted to settle the matter, but there was nothing he could do. Shrek's glory was also at stake, so he could only nod slightly.
After that, the first day of competition began.
With Lin Mo gone, Shrek Academy could only field the preliminary team, whose strength allowed them to overpower the opposing team's members.
That still caused quite a stir. Was even the preliminary team really that strong?
The sight made Xiao Hongchen grind his teeth. What did the reserve team's strength amount to? In his view, he could have dealt with all of them on his own, if not for the need to save his strength to face Shrek Academy's main team.
Elsewhere, although Di'ao Academy's first match was also a crushing victory, Huo Yuhao had chosen not to take the field.
After all, the most important thing for him in coming to the Star Luo Empire was that Ice Explosion Technique Soul Bone.
When the time came, hmph...
By now, Huo Yuhao had already thought of what to do.
Later, Huo Yuhao wandered around Star Luo City again, reflecting that he had actually returned in such a capacity.
After he returned to the hotel corridor, a figure stood up and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I've finally waited for you."
As the words fell, the figure slowly stepped out of the darkness.
It was none other than Tang Yuhao.
A hint of gravity entered Huo Yuhao's eyes. Although he knew the other man might come looking for him sooner or later, he had not expected him to wait here specifically.
This was also their first meeting in the true sense. Their previous meeting, strictly speaking, had only involved the use of Electrolux's soul-type magic.
As the two sized each other up, Huo Yuhao's first reaction was to try to sense whether there was anything remarkable inside the other man's body.
But he could sense nothing, and could only sigh. If he could confirm there was nothing, and the other man remained stubbornly obstinate, it would be best to kill him.
The moment they drew close, he also felt something strange in his body again, though he suppressed it in an instant. Over the years, his fusion with the physical body had reached a very high level.
Tang Yuhao's expression, meanwhile, was even stranger. He did not know why the other man looked so much like him, or why their names were somewhat similar too.
And he could feel that perhaps, for some unknown reason, was the other man the one who should have been him?
But even Tang Yuhao himself found that strange feeling somewhat absurd.
After pondering for a long time, Tang Yuhao looked at Huo Yuhao and could not help asking,
"Were you really given that name at birth?"
Huo Yuhao nodded quite naturally, without offering anything more. At this point, he could also roughly guess that Tang Yuhao was most likely wondering whether they were related by blood.
But since the other man had not been reshaped and brought back to life, there should not have been the slightest blood relation between them.
"What's your Martial Soul?"
Without thinking, Tang Yuhao continued asking. Huo Yuhao merely looked at him with a faint smile and asked in return,
"You can find that information on the contestant information sheet. If you came looking for me just because of something this pointless, please step aside first."
Hearing this, Tang Yuhao looked as though he had heard something unbelievable.
The expression on his face made it seem as though Huo Yuhao were the one being unreasonable.
"Don't you think our names, and the way we look..."
"The names are a bit of a coincidence, but they aren't the same in the end. It's just a name. Do you know how many people on the whole Douluo Continent are named Zhang San? There are several million in the Star Luo Empire alone, and more than thirty million across all four empires."
"Is the chance of two out of thirty million people looking alike really that low?"
Huo Yuhao's calm statement left Tang Yuhao at a loss in an instant.
That was right. Their names were only similar, and plenty of people shared the same name.
With the continent's enormous population, someone with a similar name also looking alike did not seem all that strange.
But why did he have that feeling?
So Tang Yuhao held his breath, took one last look at Huo Yuhao, and asked without thinking,
"Don't you have that strange feeling?"
"Sorry... I don't."
Huo Yuhao's attitude remained quite cold. After saying that, he tried to leave without looking back.
Tang Yuhao instinctively wanted to grab him.
To Tang Haohao, although those words made a great deal of sense, he felt that something was still wrong. He still wanted to ask a little more, and perhaps uncover some truth or the like.
But before he could act, Huo Yuhao's figure seemed to turn illusory for an instant, and he completely failed to grab him.
A spiritual-type Martial Soul?
"I don't know you well. If you provoke me again, I don't advise killing you."
The moment Huo Yuhao turned back, he made no attempt to conceal the killing intent on his face.
