Chapter 45: Main Team for the Grand Competition
Huo Yuhao ordered a few pretty-looking pastries and cakes, asking the young woman to pack them for him.
He turned and left the pastry shop.
It was confirmed, it was Jiang Nannan.
Spiritual Detection is not just for assisting in combat.
As long as Huo Yuhao analyzes long enough, he can even detect Martial Souls and Soul skillss.
She's also a commoner Genius.
For a Martial Soul as weak in Bloodline as the Soft Bone Rabbit, for Jiang Nannan to Cultivate so quickly, it shows her Innate Soul Power is high and her Aptitude for Cultivation is excellent.
Such a talent should be part of his core team.
Of course, Huo Yuhao has many targets for his core team, including his New Student Assessment group members, Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo.
They possess Body Martial Souls, their Cultivation speed is not slow, and they have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, making them perfectly capable of being a backbone of the team.
He wasn't in a hurry to approach Jiang Nannan; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, no need to rush now.
Currently, Huo Yuhao's priority is to strengthen himself, not to build up his forces.
He must not mistake his priorities, putting the cart before the horse would harm him.
Great power ultimately belongs to oneself.
Returning to the Inner Court, he distributed some of the bought pastries to Ma Xiaotao's bedroom.
Normal care is the best medicine for fostering feelings.
After eating some himself, he began to clean his attic.
In the following days, meditating to Cultivate Soul Power, developing Soul skillss, and learning magic with Electrolux, Huo Yuhao's life was very fulfilling.
Of course, during this period, he purged Ma Xiaotao's evil fire several times, and after a few attempts, it was completely eradicated.
Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul completely transformed into a Fire Phoenix, reaching the ultimate attribute level, which delighted Mu En and Yan Shaozhe for a long time.
Ultimate attributes, which haven't appeared for hundreds or thousands of years, have emerged two in this generation. Shrek is destined for greatness!
Of course, Ma Xiaotao's ultimate fire transformation was completed with Huo Yuhao's help, for which Mu En specifically thanked Huo Yuhao along with Yan Shaozhe.
Hmm, and they gave Huo Yuhao another note.
A note for the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, which led to another shopping spree for Huo Yuhao.
Mu En and the others didn't care much about this; wasn't it just a minor flaw of loving to spend money?
My Shrek can afford to spoil him!
The 100,000-year Snow Lotus, refined by Electrolux, became several Medicinal Pills. The medicinal power of the 100,000-year Snow Lotus, the pure Snow Lotus Origin power, completely restored Electrolux's Divine Sense and repaired his Soul.
This made Huo Yuhao feel incredibly at ease.
With his Soul fully restored, Electrolux could now exert most of his former strength, as he didn't rely much on his Physical Body for his abilities during his lifetime.
Over the past year, Huo Yuhao attended most of his classes in Mu Jin's class, though he was either late or absent.
However, on the second day after Huo Yuhao returned, when he went to the Outer Court for class, Mu Jin saw him and her eyes turned red. Finally, in the office, he watched Mu Jin wipe away tears while scolding him.
Huo Yuhao didn't say a word.
He was brought back by Mu Jin, but then he tricked Mu Jin into giving him a leave slip to go to the Far North.
In fact, Huo Yuhao didn't need to get a leave slip from Mu Jin, but getting a leave slip meant he was on leave, and not getting one meant he was escaping. Huo Yuhao could distinguish between these.
After Huo Yuhao left the academy, Yan Shaozhe almost went crazy searching for him. Not only did he look for Mu Jin, but he also found the sisters Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo, who were familiar with Huo Yuhao, to inquire about the situation.
Yan Shaozhe even summoned Dai Yueheng to ask if the White Tiger Dukes Mansion had secretly made a move against Huo Yuhao.
There was no other way; Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but be suspicious.
Dai Huabin was knocked unconscious by Huo Yuhao's Spiritual attack, and the healing Soul Master said that Dai Huabin would need at least half a month of recuperation to wake up.
Yan Shaozhe had ample reason to suspect this was retaliation from the White Tiger Dukes Mansion.
For the past half month, Mu Jin had been distraught. She couldn't imagine where an eleven-year-old child could have disappeared to!
What Huo Yuhao was most concerned about was Wang Dong.
Over the past year, Wang Dong seemed to genuinely be attending Shrek for school, no longer approaching Huo Yuhao. This made Huo Yuhao wonder if something had happened to God King Tang, causing him to lose control over the Douluo Continent.
Regardless, it was good news for Huo Yuhao.
----
"Yuhao, let's go. The Inner Court selection competition is about to begin."
By the open window, Ma Xiaotao was lazily leaning, watching Huo Yuhao practice his Soul skillss.
This selection competition was naturally for this year's Continental Youth Soul Master Grand Competition.
Generally, the main team consists of the previous preliminary team, but there always needs to be an opportunity for other Inner Court Disciples.
Soul Masters selected during the preliminary team stage were the most outstanding of their time.
After five years of focused training, they were no longer comparable to other peers.
But this competition was an exception.
Mu En personally designated that one spot in the main team be given to Huo Yuhao.
Since one spot had to be given up anyway, it was better to let all age-appropriate Inner Court Disciples compete and eliminate the one with the worst performance.
As for whether any Inner Court Disciples would question Huo Yuhao's sudden placement?
Are you kidding?
Did Huo Yuhao waste this past year?
His Soul Power had already reached rank thirty-nine.
Ultimate attributes Cultivate slowly, and Divine Rank attributes Cultivate even slower.
An ordinary Soul Venerable who can increase their Soul Power by three ranks in a year is considered very talented.
Huo Yuhao went from rank thirty-three to thirty-nine in a year, and this was without taking Medicinal Pills and being hindered by Divine Rank attributes.
It shows how good his Aptitude was after merging with the second Martial Soul and undergoing a complete transformation.
In addition, Huo Yuhao had basically defeated all the Soul Sects and Soul Kings in the Outer Court.
He hadn't fought a Soul Emperor yet, as it would be difficult for Huo Yuhao to fight a Soul Emperor while concealing his trump cards.
But Soul Kings and Soul Sects?
First, withstand the Soul Impact, then go talk to my Spiritual Mirroring.
Oh? You're very strong? Try my Woven Cycle Dream!
The Inner Court members are all Geniuses and powerhouses; only by being strong enough do you have the right to speak!
Huo Yuhao was specially recruited into the Inner Court, and many Inner Court students were curious. During training sessions, they would secretly ask Huo Yuhao how he got in.
Huo Yuhao would let them personally experience the oppressive feeling of a spiritual attribute Soul Master.
Among the previous main team members, Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Xi Xi, Ling Luochen, and Gongyang Mo did not need to participate in the selection due to their strength and indispensability to the team.
Only Chen Zifeng and Yao Haoxuan had to compete with other Inner Court Disciples to fill the last spot on the team.
Chen Zifeng is a Power Attack System Soul King, but no matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than two Power Attack System Soul Emperors, Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng?
Ling Luochen and Yao Haoxuan are both Control System Battle Soul Kings, but Ling Luochen is the only long-range member of the team and is indispensable.
Yao Haoxuan has some auxiliary abilities, but how can he compare to the Inner Court's top support, Gongyang Mo?
Neither the support nor control roles have uniqueness, so they naturally lack competitiveness.
