Huo Yuhao didn't seem to mind, since he and Xiao Xiao had already had their "close encounter."
But Wang Dong blushed and glared at her fiercely.
"Xiao Xiao, something's wrong with you!"
"Tell me, do you like Huo Yuhao?!"
Xiao Xiao blushed and quickly denied it.
"Come on!"
"It's clearly you two grown men acting so ambiguous!"
"Shame on you!"
Hearing this, Wang Dong denied it directly.
"Then you're wrong, Xiao Xiao. Huo Yuhao and I are just inseparable best friends."
Xiao Xiao lightly spat.
"Hmph, how could I not know that, class monitor?"
"You're so mean!"
"Let me tell you, the most talked-about topic in our grade is the class monitor!"
"Look at the class monitor, he doesn't cultivate every day, he just hangs around everywhere, but his strength keeps increasing. Many people envy the class monitor!"
Huo Yuhao touched his nose, feeling like his reputation had been damaged.
"Nonsense! Am I that kind of person?"
"Does that mean I, Huo Yuhao, am just a person who hangs out all day in the eyes of my classmates?"
Xiao Xiao chuckled.
"That's not true, class monitor. You do have admirers!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong was shocked.
"Admire Huo Yuhao? Him?"
Huo Yuhao stared in disbelief. "Is that so? You've been with us in the competition for so long, how do you know so much?"
Xiao Xiao curled her lip and said, "Unlike you two, who just live in your own world and never interact with your classmates."
"I have many good friends. I heard it from Lan Susu and Lan Luoluo. Judging from their expressions, they admire you immensely."
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao immediately stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant mountains, looking somewhat otherworldly, as if to say, "Although I'm not in the academy, my legend lives on here."
However, the next second, Wang Dong's hand directly grabbed Huo Yuhao's lower back.
"Huo Yuhao, looks like you're quite the ladies' man!"
"Ahhh!"
His smug look was immediately cut off by Wang Dong.
Even in his pain, Huo Yuhao didn't forget to tell Xiao Xiao,
"Ahhh! Xiao Xiao, remember to introduce me to your best friend!!!"
"Huo Yuhao, are you out of control?!"
...
The three of them continued forward, laughing and joking, the outline of the Star Dou Great Forest gradually appearing in their sight.
In the distance, the boundless, dense forest was already visible, and Huo Yuhao saw the warning signs he had seen before once again.
"From now on, both of you must stay within five feet of me, ready to react at any time. My mental detection sharing will be active for an extended period."
"Okay." Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the importance of Huo Yuhao as the team leader became apparent.
Huo Yuhao walked in the center, slightly ahead, with Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong behind him on his left and right respectively, the three forming a small triangle.
They had finally arrived at the dense Star Dou Great Forest.
The air here was not only fresh but also intensely humid. Upon entering the forest, the three immediately felt as if their bodies were being nourished by a special force.
Huo Yuhao's shared mental detection quietly activated. With his current cultivation level, his mental detection could maintain a complete scan within a five-kilometer radius.
A three-dimensional image instantly appeared in their minds, detailed and clear except for the lack of color.
A few weak soul beasts were watching them from a short distance ahead,
seemingly afraid of their arrival, and did not approach. Huo Yuhao
smiled slightly, let out a low roar, and then a dense, fiery red light emanated from his body.
The powerful aura instantly spread outwards, and the surrounding low-level soul beasts scattered in panic.
Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao were both shocked.
Wasn't Huo Yuhao's second martial soul the Ultimate Ice?
This…
how did it become a fire martial soul?!
This was the effect of elemental substitution!
Since they were all on the same side, Huo Yuhao naturally told the two about elemental substitution.
Looking at Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao felt utterly devastated.
Was this even human?
He was a monster!
As Huo Yuhao's aura spread, the surrounding soul beasts were basically scared away, and the three of them gradually ventured deeper.
Under Huo Yuhao's protection, the three of them walked for almost half an hour without encountering any attacks from soul beasts.
"Yuhao, take a rest."
Wang Dong, standing beside Huo Yuhao, felt deeply sorry for him.
The journey had been incredibly easy for her and Xiao Xiao; they only needed to follow Huo Yuhao.
Although Huo Yuhao was strong, his soul power was only at the Soul King level!
It was bound to take its toll.
Despite not feeling particularly tired, Huo Yuhao accepted Wang Dong's concern.
They stopped at a relatively high hill.
"Let's rest here for a while," Huo Yuhao said, gesturing for Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao to rest.
He, however, remained vigilant, watching their surroundings.
Seeing Huo Yuhao's serious expression, Wang Dong came to his side, intending to encourage him to rest as well.
Suddenly, Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed in one direction.
In Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's mental perception, a being with a distinctly strong soul power fluctuation appeared in the 3D image.
It was a small, small raccoon cat with dark blue-green fur and purplish-red eyes that gleamed with ferocity. The dark blue-green fur on its body was uneven, faintly resembling tiger stripes.
Judging from its speed and aura, it was at least a thousand-year-old soul beast.
Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, "This is a Tiger Demon Cat, a highly aggressive soul beast."
"If its fur is black with blue-green patterns, then it's a ten-thousand-year-old Tiger Demon Cat."
Huo Yuhao knew this soul beast very well. In the original story, he had foolishly shown kindness and not killed the thousand-year-old soul beast,
ultimately attracting the ten-thousand-year-old Tiger Demon Cat.
But now, Huo Yuhao wouldn't make the same mistake again.
Decisive killing was his nature!
"Soul Impact!"
"Thump." The Tiger Demon Cat crashed to the ground,
instantly killed by Huo Yuhao.
Seemingly finding Huo Yuhao's indiscriminate slaughter somewhat cruel, Wang Dong's eyes flickered.
However, she didn't question Huo Yuhao.
After all, Huo Yuhao was one of their own.
Seemingly sensing the pity in Wang Dong's heart, Huo Yuhao's expression turned serious.
"Humans and soul beasts are inherently opposed. If we lack the strength to enter the Star Dou Great Forest today, we will only become food for the soul beasts!"
"Wang Dong, pity is for superiors towards inferiors, not for the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak!"
