In the sea of spirits, the Snow Emperor saw Ye Guyi, who had finished his guest appearance as a swordsman teacher, picking up the coat on the hanger and preparing to change. He couldn't help but complain to the Ice Emperor beside him:
"Bing'er, although this girl is much better than Yuhao, a parallel import who can make people laugh like a duck even if he holds a sword, she is really far behind my level."
"If I hadn't really lost my body now, I would have taught him personally. When will I be able to achieve great success if I keep practicing like this..."
Ice Emperor stood behind Snow Emperor, knocked her on the shoulder, and comforted her with a smile: "The conditions are limited. Yuhao's academy likes to dance with guns and cannons, which is completely different from the group of humans who like to use cold weapons thousands of years ago. It’s different, it’s normal for skills in this area to deteriorate.”
"According to Yu Hao, the soul masters in the Douluo Three Kingdoms are still studying those ancient techniques, and they have more in-depth applications in the martial souls of swords, guns, swords and sticks. But as for Yu Hao, Due to the situation, I can’t go to them to study. I think it’s good for Yuhao to stay here.”
Huo Yuhao put away the sword-shaped soul guide used for practice and rubbed his right hand, which was a little numb from maintaining a fixed posture.
Teacher Xuan is still busy arguing about the Mingde Hall reconstruction plan and is entangled with others over the use of funds. Huo Yuhao has been very active these days, that is, occasionally visiting He Caitou and helping Ning Tian. Working in tandem with the Hongchen Hall Master, it was like a black market broker helping sellers connect with customers.
Just when Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi were about to say goodbye to each other and go their separate ways, there was a sound at the door of the laboratory.
"Click..."
The door is open.
"Sister Guyi, I knew you were here right away..."
Meng Hongchen, who had swiped his card to enter, twisted the handle and pushed the door open. His eyes with a hint of joy immediately turned to the Ye Guyi who was facing the door and had just half of his coat covering only one arm.
Ye Guyi blinked and stood there looking at Meng Hongchen in confusion.
Meng Hongchen didn't realize he was there, but immediately noticed the inconspicuous beads of sweat on Ye Guyi's forehead, and took out a handkerchief from the storage ring and handed it over:
"You're tired from practicing. It's a little hot today. Come and wipe away your sweat."
Ye Guyi numbly reached out and took the handkerchief from Meng Hongchen's hand, but he still didn't raise his hand to wipe the sweat. His eyes were slightly flickering and he felt guilty.
"Xiaomeng, aren't you in class? Why did you come here so early..."
"What I talked about today is not very nutritious. I think I will finish class early. Sister Guyi, what's wrong with you... huh? Why is Yuhao you here too?"
Meng Hongchen was still confused, but in the blink of an eye he saw Huo Yuhao sitting in the corner massaging him, and his pupils dilated slightly in an instant.
"Senior Meng, what you said...why can't I be here?"
Huo Yuhao had no intention of being caught at the scene, and his face was full of "what's the point of asking?" looking like an idiot.
"No, you shouldn't be here at this time..."
"The laboratory where Teacher Xuan and I usually stay was bombed. I have been free to move around for the past two days. I came to see Sister Guyi for extracurricular study... Is it normal to study? Sister Meng, you can skip class, so of course I can too. That’s fine, what are you wondering about?”
Huo Yuhao tilted his head, as if he was really puzzled by this question and fell into deep thought.
Meng Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao, then turned to Ye Guyi, who had slightly turned his eyes away from her due to a guilty conscience. Her intuition told her that she might not have come at the right time.
Ye Guyi was already a little confused under Meng Hongchen's fixed gaze on her, and the cold sweat that she had wiped off with Meng Hongchen's handkerchief while pretending just now flowed out from the corner of her forehead again. Ye Guyi felt that his heart was beating fast. The frequency has also sped up a bit, which is a wonderful stimulating feeling.
"That's not right. Whether it's a soul master or a soul master, my level is higher than Sister Gu Yi. If you have anything that you have to learn from Sister Gu Yi, just forget it without waiting for me. Why didn't you ask me in advance?"
"Wait a minute, Yuhao, why are you sweating too?"
Seeing that Meng Hongchen seemed to be showing signs of digging out the truth, Ye Guyi felt guilty and quietly took two steps towards the door that had not yet been closed.
Huo Yuhao noticed Ye Guyi's small movements, and his face was filled with a speechless expression.
Sister, you are five or six years older than me. Why are you so mentally weak that you can't even stand up to this little battle?
Isn't it just that Senior Meng is here to catch...visit? What's there to hide? Your behavior is taboo, girl. Even if you were fine, your reaction caused trouble!
Of course, the correct reaction is to act as if nothing has happened or even beat him up. When the Riddler creates misunderstandings, it is not a comedy development. It often means that a bloody plot is about to happen.
Huo Yuhao stood up holding his waist, did a few movements of swinging the hula hoop to stretch his waist, and said lazily: "I'm just learning swordsmanship from Sister Gu Yi. Where are you thinking, Senior Meng?"
"Ah?" Meng Hongchen's hand that was secretly clenched into a fist couldn't help but stagnate, and then he said full of doubts:
"I can do it too, why don't you learn from me?"
Huo Yuhao continued to shake his waist: "I see you are too busy and I don't have the heart to disturb you. And don't you know how your swordsmanship compares with Sister Gu Yi?"
"I, I, I..." Meng Hongchen wanted to defend her swordsmanship, but her conscience did not allow her to do so.
"Then why did Sister Guyi react like this when she saw me?"
Meng Hongchen's tone seemed to have dropped a bit, and Huo Yuhao said even more confidently: "She has such a shy temperament, and you still don't understand her?"
"Shy?" Meng Hongchen said in surprise, while Ye Guyi nodded repeatedly as if he was being forgiven.
Conscience, she has never seen such an embarrassing situation today - although she doesn't know what to avoid when teaching Huo Yuhao's swordsmanship alone, but there is always a voice in her heart telling her that it is not good for Xiaomeng to bump into such a thing. .
"I've been tired for a long time, and Senior Meng, you don't know how to feel sorry for me to help..." Huo Yuhao complained while squeezing his arm.
"I...I don't know who can help?" Meng Hongchen fell into a brief downtime and forgot everything she originally wanted to say.
"Oh, by the way, I think your swordsmanship is really not good, compared to Sister Gu Yi. Although you don't rely on this skill to make a living, you are a melee mage after all. The risk factor is too high. Learn a superb skill. Swordsmanship can greatly improve survival rates.”
With that said, Huo Yuhao walked towards Meng Hongchen.
"You...what are you going to do?" Meng Hongchen's voice was filled with great vigilance, and she quietly clenched her fists.
"I'm doing this for your own good, Senior Meng!"
Huo Yuhao stepped forward and grabbed Meng Hongchen's right hand. He opened the fingers of the fist one by one, and then took out the sword-shaped soul guide that he had been practicing for a long time from the storage ring. device.
"I've been using it for practice just now and it's still warm. Now I'm giving it to you."
"Sister Guyi tried her best to teach me how to hold the sword correctly. This is a basic skill that a swordsman must master! I think your posture is quite non-standard. In fact, it is not as good as mine."
Huo Yuhao put the hilt of the sword into Meng Hongchen's hand, and at the same time closed the fingers that he had just opened one by one.
Meng Hongchen gently shook the sword in his hand and looked at Huo Yuhao with slightly parted lips, a look of disbelief and confusion on his face.
However, Huo Yuhao frowned, his expression seemed a little... dissatisfied?
"Look, even the posture of holding the sword is not standard. You really don't know this skill, right? It seems you still have to let me teach you!"
Huo Yuhao stretched out his claws to hold Meng Hongchen's right hand again, pushing it to slide a little towards the end of the sword hilt.
"That's more like it. Sister Guyi is tired of just teaching me. As the saying goes, the fire is passed down from generation to generation. Now it's Teacher Huo's turn to correct your mistakes and teach you swordsmanship!"
"First swing the sword in this position fifty times to feel the force and the sliding trajectory of the blade!"
Meng Hongchen's brain was still shutting down, but her hand had already swung the sword in accordance with Huo Yuhao's instructions.
"Not bad, that's it. I didn't teach you in vain, continue!"
Huo Yuhao stood beside Meng Hongchen with his hands behind his back. Ye Guyi, who had moved to the entrance of the laboratory at some point, had his throat twitching slightly. He wanted to say something, but he was afraid that Meng Hongchen would recall it and increase the uncertainty, so he just stared. He closed his eyes and gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up with a solemn expression.
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly and waved to Ye Guyi, who then quietly left the laboratory without closing the door.
In the sea of spirits, Tianmeng Iceworm hid aside, while Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor looked at each other.
"Bing'er, I think, how should I put it... you are quite good at picking people. After all, you want to achieve the goal of immortality and becoming a god. It's not enough if your psychological quality is not good enough. Although Yu Hao's performance is nothing, But it proves that he must be... qualified? At least he can handle such a small scene..."
The Ice Emperor looked at the Snow Emperor who was obviously dumbfounded but still tried his best to hold back some positive adjectives, and said angrily:
"Xue'er, actually... um... you are right. Recently, Yuhao has been compiling the history of the war between gods ten thousand years ago. I have paid attention to the records and descriptions of the victor, Poseidon."
"Although according to historical records, the image of the Poseidon who finally turned the tide and saved the world with one against two is very glorious, but if you look closely at some of his early deeds, it is shameless... Forget it, this word is a bit too much, and it is confusing right and wrong. This aspect is quite similar to Yu Hao's. Of course, Yu Hao's approach is mainly a young man's petty sentiment, and it is still a lot worse than that adult's."
"Anyway... you are right. From an optimistic point of view, Yuhao is indeed a god! Although this statement sounds too strange..."
Ye Guyi, who was still immersed in the series of strange turns just now, had not left the laboratory far, but had just arrived at the outdoor construction site of Mingdetang, where preliminary exploration and foundation excavation were being carried out in full swing, when he was heard by a cold male voice. Someone suddenly called out from behind.
"Stop, woman."
Ye Guyi turned around, followed the sound, and found a tall man holding an iron sword, half leaning against the wall, with a cold and indifferent expression on his face that looked a bit masculine - with Almost a facial paralysis.
It was actually Ji Juechen, the famous swordsman in Mingde Hall!
Next to him, there was another woman who looked slightly pale. She also looked at Ye Guyi, clasping her hands together, with a hint of apology on her face.
Astonishingly, it was Jing Ziyan who had been with Ji Juechen for a while and Wolong Fengchu!
"Ji Juechen? And Jing Ziyan? What do you want from me?"
Of course Ji Juechen doesn't just randomly come to the door and start a fight. The little benefit Xiao Hongchen gives him is not enough to let him know who will bite whom. Before he chooses a target to challenge, he will roughly confirm the relationship between the other party and Huo Yuhao through Jing Ziyan. and their own strength, and at the same time carefully identify whether the other party is suspected of plotting against Huo Yuhao.
For example, Ning Tian is the easiest to bully in terms of strength, and he also secretly communicates with Huo Yuhao...
And Ye Guyi took Huo Yuhao to the secret room today under the noses of Ji Juechen and Ye Guyi. Can this suspicion be cleared?
"Woman, your strength has successfully aroused my interest, and I hereby challenge you." Ji Juechen held his iron sword, still maintaining his paralyzed face.
Ye Guyi said hesitantly:
"Are you... okay? If you are too free, I can ask the teacher to find something for you to do."
Ji Juechen held the scabbard of the sword, placed it horizontally in front of his eyes, and said solemnly:
"It's just an entrustment. Let's take action. I'm ready to go to the Soul Fighting Arena to learn your skills."
Jing Ziyan clasped her hands together, with an undisguised apology on her face, and kept apologizing to Ye Guyi in the distance.
"me……"
Having just emerged from the tiger's den of Meng Hongchen and entered the wolf's den of Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan, Ye Guyi felt that he was really unlucky today.
It's all because of that kid Huo Yuhao!
…………
Xingluo City, in the bedroom of the imperial palace.
Xu Jiawei picked up a memorial placed on the table, which reported a series of matters related to soul guidance device research and military expansion.
Although Xu Jiawei even spent the royal family's internal funds (private money) and personally expressed his determination and attitude to vigorously develop soul guidance devices, the gap is obvious after all, and talents are not leeks. After spending money, they can be harvested from the ground immediately. They grow out one after another.
In terms of the research software and hardware environment, Star Luo Empire is actually a little worse than Shrek City. When Star Luo Empire is far less financially wealthy than Sun Moon Empire, it is not easy to maintain the gap from continuing to widen.
"Brother Emperor, after all the secret reports from Mingdu and the inside story of the Mingdetang explosion, we finally have some clues."
Xu Jiawei raised his eyes and saw that he was walking over with a stack of files in his arms.
Xu Jiujiu put down the file in his arms, then pulled up a chair next to him and sat down.
"I practiced for too long last night. The Ming Dynasty has been in chaos for the past few days, and I can't even have peace. I'm exhausted. Brother, please watch first while I take a short rest."
Regardless of Xu Jiawei's reaction, he really leaned on the chair and took a nap for a long time.
Xu Jiawei shook his head with a smile, then flipped through the documents handed over for a long time, and began to check the inside information about the Mingdetang explosion.
The damage to Mingdetang's materials and personnel was the information that Xu Jiawei was most concerned about. As for the unidentified attacker, he thought with the back of his head that he must be the Noumenon Sect who had accepted the bounty mission, because judging from the clues at the time, The purpose of the sneak attack was not destruction, so it could only be theft.
However, when he opened the file, the first line that came into view made Xu Jiawei frown slightly.
"The leader of the Haotian Sect, Du Bushu, coerced the strong men of the sect to attack Mingde Hall, and dug a tunnel to create a big explosion to clear the way... What the hell is this?"
As the royal sister and eldest princess, one of Xu Jiujiu's responsibilities is to take charge of the external intelligence power of the Star Luo Empire for Xu Jiawei, and the information on Xu Jiawei's desk was only available to him after long sifting through it.
"Jiujiu, you..."
Xu Jiawei was about to tell Xu Jiujiu to pay more attention to the quality of intelligence in the future and not to dump all garbage on him, but he found that Xu Jiujiu had already fallen asleep with his head drooped.
"Sigh... forget it, she has to figure out the inside story in just a few days, collect and process intelligence with varying sources and levels, and seize the time at night to practice star power. She is exhausted."
When Xu Jiawei was about to continue reading the information, he suddenly opened his eyes slightly for a long time and said vaguely:
"By the way, Brother Huang, there is something else you need to pay attention to..."
"What?"
"The troops of the Sun Moon Empire at the border of the Tianhun Empire are dispatched in different frequencies and directions than usual. There seems to be some movement... but the scale is not very large. Well... I will sleep for a while."
…………
At Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, Huo Yuhao supported Meng Hongchen, who was still confused and had been practicing swordsmanship all afternoon, towards the cafeteria. He was going to finish dinner and pretend that nothing happened today.
But when the two of them just passed by the conference room of Mingde Hall, they met Jing Hongchen, who had just finished a meeting with the researchers.
"Yuhao? Meng? What's going on with you?"
Jing Hongchen looked at Meng Hongchen, who had faint beads of sweat on his forehead and was still in a daze, and made a sound of uncertainty.
"It's nothing. I think Senior Meng's swordsmanship is very poor. I happened to learn a few skills from Sister Gu Yi recently, so I just thought of teaching her a lesson."
"Oh...that's right. This is a good thing. You young people should get closer and get to know each other more. You two haven't eaten yet. Come and have a bite with me."
"This...then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
When the three of them sat down in the box in the cafeteria, Jing Hongchen's originally relaxed expression turned a little serious and entangled.
"Yuhao, I remember that you are almost at the point where you need your fourth soul ring, right?"
"Almost, it will only take these two days to officially break through level 40."
Jing Hongchen nodded and sighed softly:
"The thing is like this, you also know that our Sun and Moon Empire cannot compare with the Douluo Three Kingdoms in terms of the abundance and average level of soul beasts. Especially when the Evil Forest is basically a restricted area for humans, the Jingyang Mountains It is far from comparable to the Star Dou Forest."
"As for the spiritual soul beasts... that are suitable for you and have a sufficient level, most of them are actually in the Demonic Forest."
Huo Yuhao held back "Isn't there the Silver Moon Wolf King?" in his heart, and nodded to Jing Hongchen to continue.
"So, when I submitted the negotiation documents to Shrek a few days ago, I informed Shrek as one of the conditions for providing you with a spiritual soul beast that is less than 20,000 years old."
Huo Yuhao's expression turned strange for a moment, while Jing Hongchen continued with great tangle:
"Shrek agreed to this condition and also promised to provide us with a list of soul beasts for us to choose from."
"However, there is a problem that is not too big... They said that since the soul beast can be chosen by us, then you have to pick up the soul ring in person. They do not provide free shipping."
