Chapter 67: Little Huo Medical Clinic 20
Shrek City truly lives up to being the largest city on Heaven Dou Plain; even the width of the roads is incomparable to Xuan Feng City and Xilu City.
The paving materials used are black gray rock, a mineral unique to Douluo Continent, with strong hydrophobicity, good heat resistance, and sufficient hardness.
All three Douluo Kingdoms like to use this material to pave imperial official roads; it’s said that the materials used in Sun Moon Empire are different from those in the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
They have extremely abundant mineral resources, even using metal ores for their official roads; when Huo Yuhao heard this information, he felt it was a bit ridiculous.
Huo Yuhao walked on the main street of Shrek City, not daring to expand his spiritual power extensively, only keeping alert within about five meters around him.
The density of strong people here is too high; among the people passing by Huo Yuhao, at least five out of twenty have soul power existence.
Some places even have obvious perception black holes, probably strong people above Soul Douluo level.
Huo Yuhao estimated that basically all the soul masters on the entire Heaven Dou Plain were concentrated in Shrek City.
As a soul master holy land, the siphon effect here for talent is extremely obvious.
No wonder the Douluo Three Kingdoms both love and hate this place.
They love it because the stronger Shrek is, the safer they are, and Sun Moon Empire doesn’t dare to act too recklessly.
They hate it because all the talent from their own empires is drawn away by Shrek, and they can’t stop it, like an impotent husband watching his wife and daughter run off with some blond guy.
They even have to help push from behind.
“Shrek has no strength left, hurry up and push harder!”
No wonder during the Dragon King Legend era, when Shrek was bombed by the federation and Spirit Pagoda, no faction gave Shrek advance notice.
It’s a bit too annoying.
But it was precisely that explosion that made Shrek realize that status alone was far from enough; afterward, Shrek began to get involved in federal politics and military affairs.
In this situation, it wasn’t surprising that Shrek could assemble an ultimate luxury lineup of two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings for next year’s Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.
To be honest, if Holy Spirit Cult Supreme Elder Xuan Zi hadn’t stepped up.
With Shrek’s lineup, other academies could really just wash up and go to sleep.
Except for Di Ao Academy and Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy being able to field one Soul Emperor each, no other academies had a Rank Six strong person.
Two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings would be like a bulldozer charging straight through, while other academies would be like speed bumps.
“I don’t know?”
“What the hell stuck to my Phoenix Meteor Shower?”
“If you have any issues, go talk to my White Tiger Protective Barrier, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, or White Tiger Demon God Transformation.”
The soul skill outfit of the White Tiger Martial Soul from White Tiger Duke’s Mansion really hasn’t changed at all in tens of thousands of years; it’s purely a wheelchair martial soul.
Fortunately, Supreme Elder Xuan Zi stepped up in the end, giving other academies a chance.
Not sure if other academies said thank you to Xuan Zi.
On the main street of Shrek City, you can really see all sorts of things.
Dazzling arrays of goods quietly sit on shelves waiting for fated buyers, shop signboards practically shooting into the sky, advertisements intertwining and assaulting the eyes of every passerby.
Massive amounts of information woven into a web through colorful lights capture the thoughts of pedestrians.
Some shop owners even use novel things like soul tool screens to attract attention.
If asked to describe this city, Huo Yuhao would say it’s a city where conservatism and advancement coexist.
The lifestyle and entertainment here are still pretty much the same as on Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago.
Strolling the streets, walking birds, being bloodthirsty spectators at soul fighting competitions.
Watching soul masters fight is their only form of entertainment worth mentioning.
In Xuan Feng City, plenty of regular customers liked bringing heaps of delicacies and fine wine, dragging Huo Yuhao along to the fighting arena to watch matches.
They said seeing the clash of flesh, blood spurting, and hearing the wails of both sides was more satisfying than climaxing during sex.
Huo Yuhao couldn’t quite understand these war maniacs; maybe it’s the nature of the older generation from Earth.
Compared to watching this kind of stuff that might not even pass review on the dark web, better to spend the time watching Peppa Pig.
At least you can learn a few pig calls.
If talking about advancement, Shrek City is indeed the most advanced place in the Douluo Three Kingdoms for soul tools!
Mainly because Mu En has been vigorously promoting the development of the soul tool department.
Mu En, despite having some flaws, is one of Shrek’s few normal people.
He can see the future development path of the continent and is willing to change the academy’s status quo, not wanting Shrek to be bound by that inexplicable glory.
Unfortunately, he’s too old, and due to the inevitable death from poison and the Dragon Pill’s baleful qi, he can no longer straighten his back.
Though he has Limit Douluo cultivation, he can’t normally maintain Limit Douluo combat power.
He can no longer protect this academy, and his successors are a bunch of clowns.
Xuan Zi, Chicken Leg Douluo, too flavorful, no need for extra salt; this old guy seems able to directly contact Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao.
Is he really not a Holy Spirit Cult Supreme Elder?
Things will be tough for Shrek from now on.
Yan Shaozhe, petty, one shot creates Evil Phoenix, unable to advance to Level Ninety-Six, utterly ridiculous.
His relationships with other Shrek high-level figures are like a melodramatic romance drama full of ruts!
Zhang Lexuan, too young, suspected love brain, bound by her own limitations, hard to hold up the future.
And the heavenly pride of her era was sent to the heavens by Xuan Zi.
Shrek Academy’s future is one Mu En can see the end of at a glance.
Sun Moon Empire will visibly attack the Douluo Three Kingdoms again in not many years.
If Shrek has no next Limit Douluo, the first to be destroyed will be Shrek.
Therefore, in the original work, even after Mu En died, he didn’t dare fully fuse his soul with the Golden Ancient Tree, leaving a part as insurance.
Just don’t know if he discovered the truth of the Golden Ancient Tree back then.
Maybe he did but didn’t dare say; gods and humans are ultimately two different levels of existence.
Huo Yuhao continued walking through Shrek City, experiencing the authentic Douluo Continent.
As a Douluo traverser, not coming to Shrek would be a wasted crossing.
It’s like official bloodline certification.
The location Jiang Nannan gave was next to Shrek Academy, near the fighting arena.
Not sure where she got the money to open a shop in that location.
There are many fighting arenas in Shrek City; the most famous is Shrek’s internal Great Fighting Arena, which is normally not open to the public and only opens to outsiders during major competitions.
There are also a bunch of auction houses here, a specialty of xianxia novels.
Also high-incident locations, prime spots for protagonists to show off and slap faces.
An essential part of the xianxia world that can’t be skipped; Huo Yuhao plans to check it out when he has time.
And sell off that somewhat damaged soul bone he has on hand.
Keeping it himself is useless; the soul skill recorded inside is really too lame, and he can achieve pretty much the same with Spiritual Endowment.
According to the market, this damaged ten thousand year soul bone should be worth between one hundred thousand gold soul coins and one million gold soul coins.
Mainly depending on the damage to the soul bone and the soul skill recorded inside.
Shadow Bind is an extremely excellent control type soul skill, so this soul bone’s price should be above five hundred thousand gold soul coins.
What surprised Huo Yuhao a bit was that there’s actually an Adventurer’s Guild here!
Hiss, seems like the original work did mention this thing in passing.
Wonder if someone inside will say to you “Towards the stars…”
Forgot what comes after, skipped too fast.
Soon, Huo Yuhao arrived at the location Jiang Nannan gave.
As expected, it’s a medical clinic.
But the name made Huo Yuhao’s eyelid twitch.
“Little Huo Medical Clinic”
“Shrek Branch”
Huo Yuhao smiled, thinking Jiang Nannan this child is quite interesting, a bit weighty.
The super strong eyesight from his Spiritual Eye had already spotted that familiar golden-haired girl treating an old woman.
Her mother was grabbing medicine nearby; clearly, she has now fully adapted to that heart.
Her cultivation has also reached Level Ten, but she seems not to have chosen to hunt for a soul ring yet.
Huo Yuhao waited outside for a bit, and after Jiang Nannan got the medicine ready for the old woman, he walked in.
Hearing the door curtain rustle, Jiang Nannan looked toward the door and couldn’t help widening her beautiful eyes.
The figure she had been thinking about day and night appeared at the door.
Not sure if it’s the curse kicking in, but Rat’s family has some health issues, seems like respiratory problems; might only have two updates today, I’ll try to squeeze in time to write and see if I can do three; heading to the hospital in the morning. Pucker up OzR
