Douluo Dalu II: I, Huo Yuhao, join Sun Moon

Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 158: First Encounter with Ji Juechen

Du Busi's face showed a contemplative expression. After a moment, he said, "Okay, then arrange for someone to contact Xu Jiawei immediately. The soul engineers of the Star Luo Empire are already the best in the Douluo Three Kingdoms. Perhaps they have a way to solve the problem of the earth-drilling soul guidance device."

"Sect Master, what if they can't solve this problem?" the white-haired elder asked with concern.

Du Busi's expression darkened. "If they can't solve it, then I will go to the Sun Moon Empire alone and find a way to steal the hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo for Aotian. As for you, stay in the sect and be honest."

Du Busi was already quite old, and the future of the Body Sect depended on Long Aotian. Naturally, he would do his best to train him.

At present, within the Body Sect, only Long Aotian had the opportunity to become a level 98 Super Douluo.

The white-haired elder hesitated briefly before saying, "Sect Master, you must not do this. You are the master of the Body Sect and the pillar of the sect. You cannot take such a risk.

We are unfamiliar with the internal situation of the Sun-Moon Empire, and there are many soul engineers there. Even if you are a powerful level 98 Super Douluo, once you're besieged, there's a risk of falling.

If you bring us along, even without the earth-drilling soul guidance device, we can share the pressure. After all, Super Douluo is not a god who can dominate everything.

When the old sect master was so powerful that he fought against Dragon God Douluo Mu En alone, he was seriously injured, left with a hidden disease, and eventually fell. Our sect was silent for a long time afterward."

Hearing this, Du Busi's expression darkened slightly. "Alright, no matter what, I must go to Illustrious Virtue Hall—to retrieve the hundred-thousand-year soul beast embryo and to bring back Huo Yuhao."

Illustrious Virtue Hall was too unruly. Everyone knew that any disciple with a body martial soul was a member of my sect.

But now Huo Yuhao has become a student of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. This was a bad thing for Huo Yuhao. After all, no one was better than the Body Sect at cultivating owners of the body martial soul.

"Even if there's no earth-drilling soul guidance device as a backup, I won't let you go to Illustrious Virtue Hall alone," the white-haired elder said firmly.

Du Busi snorted coldly. "We'll discuss it later.

For now, arrange for someone to contact Xu Jiawei and see if he can come up with a solution. The best-case scenario is, of course, using the earth-drilling soul guidance device to attack Illustrious Virtue Hall."

Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy

Huo Yuhao was walking with Meng Hongchen, Di Qiuer, and Ye Guyi, heading toward the cafeteria for a special meal—mainly tonic food beneficial to soul masters' cultivation.

As they walked, Meng Hongchen praised Huo Yuhao's cooking skills.

Ye Guyi, listening to Meng Hongchen's praise, looked a little confused. "Senior Meng, are the dishes cooked by Senior Yuhao delicious?"

She had entered the academy later than Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao, so she couldn't find fault with their assessments.

Meng Hongchen smiled slightly. "Of course. Junior Yuhao is a very good cook. I've eaten his dishes, and they're very delicious.

I once attended a dinner at the Sun Moon Palace with my grandfather, but the palace's so-called famous chefs couldn't compare to Junior Yuhao's cooking."

Ye Guyi was surprised. She looked at Huo Yuhao. "I didn't expect Senior Yuhao to be so good at cooking."

Huo Yuhao thought this was a skill that naturally came with his body.

In fact, in the original novel, Huo Yuhao's cooking talent was quite remarkable. The reason he only sold grilled fish initially was mainly due to personal experience.

According to legends from the God Realm, while Huo Yuhao's cooking level in the original story is not as high as that of an old master like Rong Nianbing, it surpasses Oscar, the Food God.

He immediately said, "I am indeed good at cooking. If I have time in the future, I can make some dishes for you to try."

It's just a simple dish, and it doesn't take much time.

"Thank you, Senior Yuhao," Ye Guyi said with a smile.

Di Qiuer, observing Huo Yuhao thoughtfully, wondered how delicious his dishes truly were.

To be honest, she had lived in the human world for some time and had tasted many delicacies. She hadn't expected humans to be capable of cooking such delicious food.

Even Meng Hongchen, the dean's granddaughter, commented that Huo Yuhao's cooking skills were excellent, which truly affirmed his talent.

For a moment, Di Qiuer looked forward to Huo Yuhao cooking for her.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao saw a young man with black hair approaching. The young man appeared to be about 20 years old, walking alone across the campus. He held a sword and looked extremely indifferent—more like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed than a person.

The young man stopped and fixed his gaze on Huo Yuhao. His voice was calm but firm: "Huo Yuhao, can you fight me?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned and wondered where this fighting maniac had come from. Asking someone if he wanted to fight? What was going on?

He remembered from the original story that this was likely Ji Juechen—the infamous fighting maniac. After all, in the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, there probably was no one else who would immediately ask to fight.

To be honest, Ji Juechen's story was quite inspiring. He has only level 3 innate soul power.

On the Douluo Continent, level 3 innate soul power meant a very bleak future, as it limited one's potential for cultivation and upper limits.

For example, Yu Xiaogang's innate soul power was only half a level. If not for the immortal herb given by Tang San, Yu Xiaogang would probably remain a soul grandmaster for his entire life, unable to surpass that level.

Although innate soul power can be improved through medicinal pills, Ji Juechen's family was likely quite ordinary. It was impossible for him to afford the expensive Mystic Water Pill.

In the original story, Ji Juechen was just eight years old when he went alone to hunt soul beasts and obtained his first soul ring—a dangerous journey for a child that age.

If Ji Juechen's family was wealthy, it would be unlikely they'd let an eight-year-old go out hunting alone.

Of course, even if Ji Juechen's family is wealthy, he should not take any drugs on his initiative. After all, taking drugs is not good for his sword practice. Therefore, in many cases, Ji Juechen is like an alien who doesn't fit in, which is also reflected in the original book.
