Chapter 64 I've Loved You for Ten Thousand Years! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]
The door to Huo Yuhao's dormitory opened, and a woman slowly walked in. She then casually sat on his bed.
She removed her slightly transparent veil and smiled.
"How is it? The school dormitory is not bad, right?"
Huo Yuhao nodded calmly, "It's pretty good!"
The woman sighed softly, her tone rather resentful:
"Why do you seem not at all happy to see me?
Back then, you made me wait.
But this wait has lasted for ten thousand years!"
A hint of anticipation crossed the woman's face: "Are you... coming to see me this time?"
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "I came here for the Golden Tree."
The woman said angrily: "Humph!
You are always so heartless.
"It's been ten thousand years, can't you comfort me?"
Huo Yuhao said with a wry smile, "I just like to tell the truth."
Huo Yuhao was also deeply depressed.
Ten thousand years ago, Tang Fozu was like a sword of Damocles, always hanging over his head.
Ever since he avenged his mother, his daily thoughts had been how to defeat Tang Fozu.
Before defeating Tang Fozu, he knew he had no right to take responsibility for other women.
So he sealed his feelings and locked away his love, but this also failed many beautiful women.
Xue Di, Su Tong, Ye Guyi, and the Imperial Beast before him.
Ten thousand years ago, although Huo Yuhao tried his best to avoid Wang Donger, Tang Fozu's half daughter
, as a child of destiny among humans, he was inevitably encountered by the child of destiny among soul beasts—the Imperial Beast.
Huo Yuhao dared not interact with the Emperor Beast much, fearing that if he showed any signs of intimacy with the Emperor Beast,
Tang Buddha would immediately intervene and help his other half of his daughter possess the Emperor Beast.
Therefore, if Huo Yuhao came into contact with the Emperor Beast, he would be harming her.
Sadly, after just one encounter, the Emperor Beast fell head over heels in love with Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao had no choice but to tell the Emperor Beast the truth and then distance himself from it.
And because Huo Yuhao hadn't had any further contact with the Emperor Beast, Tang Buddha gave up on helping his other half of his daughter possess the Emperor Beast.
Now, ten thousand years had passed.
Even if Tang Buddha returned, it would be a long time in the future.
Theoretically, Huo Yuhao was already qualified to take responsibility for them.
But, there were already four of them ten thousand years ago!
Now with Gu Yuena, Huo Yuhao didn't even know what to choose. He was afraid of hurting them.
"My name is Gu Nianqiu now, because I first met you in the autumn ten thousand years ago!
You can call me Qiu'er." A flicker of nostalgia flashed in Gu Nianqiu's eyes.
Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Nianqiu, a flicker of heartache in his heart.
"Thank you for your hard work over the past ten thousand years!"
Huo Yuhao raised his hand, wanting to touch Gu Nianqiu's head and comfort her.
But his hand froze in mid-air for a long time, and finally, reluctantly, he let it go.
Gu Nianqiu looked at Huo Yuhao's troubled eyes, grabbed Huo Yuhao's hand, and placed it on her cheek.
"A real man should act with no hesitation. At worst, you can marry all of us!"
After saying this, Gu Nianqiu's face flushed. She let go of Huo Yuhao's hand and turned to walk out the door.
She reached the door and suddenly turned around.
"With your skills, it shouldn't be difficult to sneak into my room without anyone knowing, right?
I live next to the golden tree.
As long as you don't harm its roots, you can do whatever you want."
After saying this, Gu Nianqiu paused, a flicker of pain in his eyes.
"You humans often say: If you had to put a time limit on 'I love you,' I'd hope it'd be ten thousand years!
Ten thousand years ago, I'd always wanted to say that to you, but I never had the chance.
And yet, in the end, I actually loved you for ten thousand years!"
With these words, Gu Nianqiu's figure became ethereal and vanished from the spot.
Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the place where Gu Nianqiu had vanished.
A mixture of emotions welled up in his heart.
...
In the blink of an eye, three years flew by.
During this time, Huo Yuhao repeatedly sneaked into Gu Nianqiu's room to sense the life force of the Golden Tree.
Meanwhile, their Junior Class had gradually expanded with several new members.
These students were none other than the original Shrek Seven Devils: Yuanen Yehui, Le Zhengyu, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi.
With the exception of Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi, two students who had grown up in the Inner Courtyard, the others had joined the Spirit Pagoda under Huo Yuhao's influence.
They all willingly addressed Huo Yuhao as "Boss Huo."
In other words, only two of the original Shrek Seven Devils remained.
Of course, Huo Yuhao believed that with time, he would be able to recruit Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi as well.
A few days ago, to test the Junior Class's effectiveness, Shrek Academy had them challenge the much older second-year students.
As a result, the Junior Class easily defeated the second-year class and even challenged higher-year classes.
The challenge ultimately reached the fifth year, where both teams were severely damaged and the final challenge was halted.
This battle also earned the Junior Class widespread fame within Shrek Academy, and no one questioned their enormous resource consumption.
During these three years, Huo Yuhao accompanied Tang Wulin to visit Zhenhua and Muye.
Upon witnessing Huo Yuhao's exceptionally gifted Martial Soul, Muye immediately criticized Chu Feng for keeping Huo Yuhao hidden.
Ultimately, Muye accepted both Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin as disciples, and taught them the innate secrets of the Ontology Sect.
The Ontology Sect's innate secrets are considered the most powerful physical training methods on Douluo Planet.
Back then, A Ruheng, who practiced the innate secrets, even surpassed Tang Wulin, who had unlocked the tenth seal of the Golden Dragon King.
The highest level of the innate secrets is the Unleaked Golden Body.
A flawless golden body, destined for Quasi-Godhood!
This is truly proving the Dao through martial arts!
Huo Yuhao intended to condense his Qi, Blood, and Soul Core at level 60, so he diligently cultivated the innate secret techniques.
This, however, cost Huo Yuhao considerable hardship.
After all, he lacked the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, and in terms of physical strength, Huo Yuhao was inherently inferior to Tang Wulin.
For the past three years, Huo Yuhao primarily cultivated the innate secret techniques.
His soul power hadn't grown much, due to his frantic efforts to refine it.
Currently, Huo Yuhao's soul power had reached level 58, while Gu Yuena's was 59.
Yuanen Yehui, Le Zhengyu, and Ye Xinglan had also broken through to the Soul King level.
Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xu Lizhi were all approaching level 50.
That day, Wu Changkong, the substitute teacher for the Junior Class, entered the classroom. He glanced at the students and announced in a deep voice, "
Due to the outstanding performance of the Junior Class students, the academy has decided to send the nine of you to the Dragon Realm of Xingluo Continent to compete for resources!"
The students were stunned.
Going to the Dragon Realm to compete for resources?
