The uninvited guest was naturally Zhang Lexuan.
But she was very mindful of boundaries, sitting in meditation with her back to Ma Xiaotao and the others.
"Class Monitor!"
"Yuhao's back!"
"Wow! You're really a five-ringed Soul King already?"
"Sister Xiaotao said those four 100,000-year soul rings are real, is that true?"
"I'm more curious about that blue-gold soul ring. How was it formed? What's its age?"
...
Surrounded by everyone's eager questions, Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart.
'Mom, I have my own friends now.'
'I will live my life well, not trapped in hatred.'
'May your spirit in heaven...'
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind!
Brother Lan claimed he could create anything. So, could he revive Mom?
The God of the Undead manipulates souls; is there a chance there?
He immediately controlled his Secret Art Doppelganger to ask Elder Electrolux, while simultaneously raising his hand to signal Ma Xiaotao and the others to wait, closing his eyes to enter his mental world and ask Brother Lan.
The Secret Art Doppelganger relayed the information first: without a soul, even Electrolux couldn't do anything.
This made Huo Yuhao's heart sink halfway.
"Finally thought of this, huh."
Zhuge Lan said with a light laugh—
"Since I claim to be omnipotent, naturally, it can be done."
"As long as there are enough Fortune Points, I can even take you back through time to when your mother was still alive and bring her from the past to the present."
"Of course, the most cost-effective method is to retrieve your mother's soul and then revive her using your Mangekyō: Flesh and Blood Recasting."
Huo Yuhao trembled with excitement!
It's possible!
He could really revive Mom!
He gripped Zhuge Lan's hand tightly, wanting to say something, but his spiritual body flickered unstably due to the extreme emotional turmoil.
Finally, the Sky Dream Iceworm spoke on his behalf: "Little Yuhao wants to ask you how many Fortune Points it costs."
Huo Yuhao nodded repeatedly; that was exactly what he wanted to ask!
Zhuge Lan showed a troubled expression, making Huo Yuhao's heart skip a beat!
"Hey! Don't quote some outrageous price!" the Sky Dream Iceworm preemptively warned. "This is Little Yuhao's mom, not a tool for you to make money!"
"What nonsense are you talking!" Zhuge Lan said angrily. "Would I profit from the dead? If I did that, I'd acknowledge you as my father!"
The Sky Dream Iceworm's aggressive stance softened slightly. For him to swear such a vicious oath, it seemed the price really was fair this time.
The other spirit souls like the Ice Empress: "..."
Even the usually simple-minded Ah Tai looked like he had something to say but hesitated.
Zhuge Lan quickly continued—
"Although your mother passed away only a year ago, normally, her soul would have long since dissipated between heaven and earth."
"We can only reverse time to collect it. This goes against the natural order, so the starting price is 100 million Fortune Points."
"It's very difficult to gather that much in the human world. But when you become a god, the world's fortune will bless you, and it should be about enough then."
"If once isn't enough, we can do it a few more times."
Once you ascend to the Divine Realm, you'll naturally be able to meet Huo Yun'er's soul.
This 100 million Fortune Points isn't for the revival; it's preparation for dealing with the God-King Tang San.
Hearing the figure of 100 million, Huo Yuhao didn't retreat at all. Instead, his gaze became as firm as if he were swearing a solemn oath.
If before, he wanted to become a god to live up to Zhuge Lan and the others,
Now, he desperately wanted to become a god for himself!
"I understand!"
"I'm going to collect Fortune Points now!"
"Love you, Brother Lan!"
"Hahahaha—"
"Mom can be revived! She can be revived!"
"Mom!!!"
...
Huo Yuhao left the mental world laughing heartily.
His real body in the physical world also couldn't help but laugh out loud, startling everyone around him.
His behavior was too unusual. Could it be that after achieving his revenge, he was too excited and...
"Little Yuhao, are you okay?" Ma Xiaotao asked carefully.
"Yuhao, your real enemy is still alive! Don't go crazy now!" Xiao Xiao tried to use shock therapy.
"Hey! You still owe me an explanation!" Wang Dong's tone was impatient, but his face was full of concern.
...
Huo Yuhao also realized he was acting too strangely.
To reassure everyone, he decided to tell a white lie.
"I just acquired a new combat skill, so I'm a bit happy, that's all."
"I'm fine."
"Oh, right—"
Huo Yuhao looked at Zhang Lexuan.
"This senior sister, you look unfamiliar. May I ask why you're here?"
Ma Xiaotao stepped forward, making faces behind Zhang Lexuan's back.
"This is the senior sister of the Inner Court, current Inner Court teacher, Sea God Pavilion member, and Teacher Mu's adopted daughter."
"She was the champion team leader in the last Soul Master Grand Tournament. Her level was as high as level 69 back then, just a step away from breaking through to the seven-ringed Soul Sage!"
"Now, at 25 years old, she's already reached level 82. Becoming a Super Douluo is practically guaranteed."
"I brought her here to be a Saintess of the Holy Flame Sect together. Happy?"
Huo Yuhao's eyes lit up!
A talent!
Having a potential stock like this join would be worth at least 10,000 Fortune Points, right?
Must recruit her!
He was just about to speak when...
"Xiaotao, you've misunderstood." Zhang Lexuan said first. "I only agreed to come and take a look. I haven't decided whether to join or not."
Well then...
Can't let you get away!
Huo Yuhao quickly ran through the resources he could offer in his mind and instantly locked onto the most tempting one.
But someone else beat him to it—Zhuge Lan.
"This is the perfect candidate for implementing that plan."
"Huh?" Huo Yuhao was stunned. "But that plan requires severing emotions and desires. She's in the prime of her youth..."
"This person is Beibei's child bride, the 'till death do us part' kind. But Beibei likes Tang Ya." Zhuge Lan delivered the killing blow in one sentence.
Huo Yuhao fell silent.
Then she really is suitable.
While he was weighing the options,
Ma Xiaotao had already grabbed Zhang Lexuan's arm and, unusually, started acting spoiled.
"Hey!"
"Senior Sister~"
"We already agreed on the bet earlier, how can you go back on your word now?"
"You can't do this~"
Huo Yuhao blinked.
He had never seen this side of Sister Xiaotao before.
Zhang Lexuan seemed susceptible to this approach and sighed helplessly.
"Alright then."
"Here's the deal."
"Fight me. Don't say I'm bullying you. If you can force me to use strength beyond that of a five-ringed Soul King, you win."
"Xiaotao, these terms are already very lenient. You can't..."
"No problem!" Ma Xiaotao said with a giggle. "It's settled! You have to do your best, Little Yuhao, don't hold back!"
After saying that, she let go and ran off without a hint of hesitation.
As if she was certain Huo Yuhao would definitely win?
Zhang Lexuan found it a bit hard to believe.
Although Huo Yuhao had just defeated a six-ringed Soul Emperor, a seven-ringed Soul Sage was on a completely different level, and she and Dai Yaoheng were not on the same level either.
As for Huo Yuhao's martial soul suppression, it was ineffective against her martial soul.
Where did such high confidence come from?
"Fine, then let me see what you're capable of."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
He really wasn't given a chance to speak?
Seeing that Zhang Lexuan had already taken a stance, and the others had consciously retreated to make space,
It was clearly too late for Huo Yuhao to refuse now.
So, a fight it is.
Let's see how his current strength compares to a monstrous genius Soul Douluo!
