Chapter 126: Foundation Complete!
Roman scratched his head; the training forest was still some distance from Xilu City, after all, the training they conducted was quite dangerous.
Therefore, it definitely couldn’t be too close to Xilu City, and there were also large areas of farmland around Xilu City, which were important grain sources for the entire Heaven Dou Plain!
“I wonder what exactly is going on with Mademos and the others?”
Bai E stepped out of the car door, smiling as he said:
“It’s fine, I trust Mademos.”
Roman closed the car door, showing him a gentle smile.
“You’re still as steadfast in your trust of Mademos as ever.”
Bai E shook his head, his blue eyes seriously looking at the towering Fighting Arena in front of him as he said:
“It’s not just Mademos, Teacher Ti Bao, Feng Jin…”
“As long as they are my partners, I will give them my utmost trust!”
“I told Mademos! If he’s stronger than me, he’ll protect us; if I’m stronger than him, I’ll protect them!”
Roman reassuringly patted Bai E’s shoulder. Looking at this boy as warm as sunlight, he felt he hadn’t raised him crooked.
In terms of teaching students, he believed he was much better than that Half Nightmare Merlin.
“Doctor Roman, let’s go take a look together.”
“Good!”
After locking the jeep with the key, Roman followed him into the Fighting Arena.
As the orphanage doctor, he had never come to the Fighting Arena to watch matches.
On one hand, a certain unscrupulous boss arranged too much work, leaving almost no time to rest; on the other hand, Roman wasn’t interested in such Soul Master battles.
“Sigh, Bai E? Are you here to find your partner Mademos?”
A voice came from beside the two.
Bai E waved his hand with a smile and said:
“Yeah, Uncle Hua Qiang.”
“I’m here to find Mademos!”
Upon hearing this, Hua Qiang thought of the earlier Soul Fighting Competition match and excitedly said to Bai E:
“Let me tell you, Mademos beat that three-legged white-haired kid so badly that even the Fighting Platform was shattered!”
“Mademos should be resting backstage now; you should hurry over.”
After speaking, the uncle named Hua Qiang pointed toward the Fighting Arena backstage direction.
“Thanks, Uncle Hua Qiang! I’ll come to your place to buy melons another day!”
“Good! The melons for you will definitely be ripe!”
After getting the direction, Bai E and Roman quickened their pace toward where Mademos was.
Soon, backstage, the two of them saw that familiar figure.
A golden-red-haired boy had his arms crossed, quietly watching a white-haired boy with heterochromatic eyes bow and apologize to Ti Bao.
“Mademos!”
Bai E waved his hand at Mademos. Mademos turned his head, saw Bai E, didn’t speak, and gestured with his eyes for him to come over.
Then, he trotted to Mademos’s side, his blue eyes filled with doubt as he asked:
“What exactly happened?”
“And who are these two?”
Seeing Ti Bao currently somewhat at a loss while accepting Xiao Hongchen’s solemn apology, Mademos nodded slightly.
“It’s fine, it’s over.”
“These two are outsiders.”
After apologizing to Ti Bao, Xiao Hongchen seriously looked at Mademos and said:
“No! It’s not over yet!”
“For the time behind this, I will keep challenging you! You better be prepared!”
Mademos’s lion-like eyes gazed at Xiao Hongchen, completely unafraid of his challenge.
“Whatever.”
At this point, Bai E understood; Mademos had been entangled by the other party, but seeing his partner’s confident demeanor, there shouldn’t be any big problem.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mademos and Ti Bao:
“Good as long as it’s fine.”
Then he looked at Xiao Hongchen, pointed outside, and said:
“By the way, friend, do you want treatment for your injuries? I know a great Healing System Soul Master!”
“She’s my companion! Her Healing Soul Skill is amazing!”
Xiao Hongchen shook his head, refusing Bai E’s kindness; he could clearly feel the pain in his body now.
The injuries on his body looked severe but didn’t endanger his organs; for a Soul Master, they were just simple external wounds.
He knew this was the result of Mademos doing it deliberately; the other’s character was arrogant but indeed not some cold-hearted person—altogether, a good guy! Xiao Hongchen admired him!
This pain could make him remember his weakness! He would remember this pain and then defeat Mademos!
Xiao Hongchen hadn’t expected to encounter such a formidable rival right after arriving in Heaven Soul Empire! This made him even more curious about just how strong the people from Shrek Academy were.
Seeing Xiao Hongchen decisively refuse treatment, Bai E didn’t insist; he could also tell Mademos hadn’t gone heavy-handed.
“Alright then, let me introduce.”
“I’m Bai E; the one beside me you should know, Mademos.”
“That one is Teacher Ti Bao.”
Xiao Hongchen sensed the other’s warm temperament and sincere tone; his voice softened imperceptibly.
“Xiao Hongchen.”
“The one beside me is my sister Meng Hongchen.”
Meng Hongchen was currently staring intently at Ti Bao, making the little girl feel extremely uncomfortable! She only reacted when her brother called her name.
“Hello, I’m Meng Hongchen.”
“You can call me Meng.”
Meng Hongchen was much more polite than Xiao Hongchen, performing a common Sun Moon Empire etiquette.
At this moment, Bai E recognized the two of them and excitedly said:
“Oh!”
“You two are the ones on the Snow King Ice City standing sign!”
“Meng Hongchen…”
“The Snow King Ice City song seems to be sung by you!”
“I still remember the melody!”
“It seems like ‘You love me, I love you’…”
Hearing Bai E’s singing, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen’s facial expressions darkened; they hadn’t expected that damn billboard to exist here in Heaven Soul Empire too!
“Damn old geezer! When you’re old, see if I don’t put a Snow King skin suit on you!”
Sensing the low pressure emanating from the siblings, Bai E realized he might have said something wrong and could only laugh it off.
Suddenly, a voice broke the low pressure.
“So you’re all here.”
“Long time no see, Bai E, Mademos, and Ti Bao.”
The few interrupted by the voice turned their heads and saw three people walking toward them.
“Brother Huo! And Feng Jin?”
Feng Jin was currently standing beside Huo Yuhao, hands on hips as she said to Bai E and the others:
“I ran into Brother Huo Qiang at the Fighting Arena high platform and came over with him.”
“Are you all okay? Not injured? I can help heal.”
Mademos shook his head directly; his wounds had long since self-healed. Xiao Hongchen was about to refuse to keep the scars when Meng Hongchen interrupted:
“Really?!”
“Can you heal my brother?”
Xiao Hongchen glared angrily at his sister, about to speak, when he saw Meng Hongchen’s eyes redden slightly.
A piece of ice suddenly lodged in his throat, choking him speechless.
“Meng, you, cough! Cough!”
Feng Jin tilted her head in confusion; Meng Hongchen smiled and patted her brother’s shoulder, saying:
“My brother got his brain knocked silly.”
“Don’t mind.”
Feng Jin shook her pink twin tails, then activated her Martial Soul Wind God Horse.
A white flying horse appeared behind her, and the surrounding wind elements paid homage to their sovereign.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen’s eyes narrowed simultaneously; they had thought having one Mademos here was already outrageous, but there was another expert!
Their Martial Souls sensed the sense of oppression, meaning the other’s Martial Soul quality was stronger than theirs!
It should be the same quality as Mademos’s Martial Soul.
What shocked Xiao Hongchen even more was that Bai E and Ti Bao showed no reaction, meaning their Martial Souls were no less than Mademos’s.
Xiao Hongchen ignored the ice lodged in his throat, his corners of the mouth curving up slightly, flames igniting in his eyes as he thought to himself.
“Coming to this Xilu City was the right choice!”
“Strong persons are like clouds!”
“A small city next to Shrek City has such powerhouses.”
“Then what kind of experts are in Shrek Academy?!”
Accompanying Feng Jin’s Martial Soul manifestation, gentle green Healing Light scattered throughout the space.
Xiao Hongchen’s injuries recovered almost instantly; his pupils contracted, shocked by this outrageous healing ability.
As the reserve team captain of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he clearly knew how grueling a match would be if the opposing team had such a powerful Healing System Martial Soul!
After sensing the Healing Light, though he had no injuries, Mademos nodded to Feng Jin.
“Thanks.”
Huo Yuhao watched the few people’s conversation from the side, a appreciative expression on his face as he clapped his hands and said:
“Alright, children.”
“Seeing you all so lively makes me very pleased.”
“Let me introduce; this is my disciple, Su Tong.”
Su Tong blinked her ice-blue eyes, nodding slightly to the group.
She too was shocked by the Martial Souls of these juniors of her master.
At least two Extreme Martial Souls, and that white flying horse definitely had an attribute approaching extreme!
“Hello, Sister Su Tong!”
Bai E and the others politely greeted Su Tong; even Mademos nodded to her.
The few of them were very respectful toward Huo Yuhao.
Everyone present except the Xiao Hongchen siblings had received great favors from Huo Yuhao.
A knowing look flashed in Xiao Hongchen’s eyes as he said:
“You’re the Enthusiasm Leader?”
Seeing the other’s etiquette was quite proper, Huo Yuhao knew Jing Hongchen had probably explained some things to him.
“Compared to leader, I prefer the title Boss.”
“You can call me that if you don’t mind.”
Xiao Hongchen nodded in agreement; before coming, his grandfather had earnestly instructed him to build a good relationship with the Enthusiasm Leader, as they might need to rely on him in the future.
Now meeting formally, he indeed sensed the other was very strong—at least stronger than his own grandfather!
“Looks like you get along well with Mademos and the others; you can interact more with them in the future.”
“Your grandfather told me that before the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, you’ll stay here.”
“One week before the competition, your grandfather will send someone to pick you up.”
“Here, this is the identity proof prepared for you.”
“With this, you can go to all cities on Heaven Dou Plain, including Shrek City.”
“But remember, don’t expose your identity in Shrek City unless you want to experience electrotherapy at Sea God Pavilion.”
Xiao Hongchen nodded solemnly; he knew his identity was sensitive and exposure would bring unnecessary trouble.
After speaking, Huo Yuhao made eye contact with Roman by the distant railing; Roman gestured with his eyes to his side.
Huo Yuhao understood and said to Bai E and the others:
“I have some matters, so I’ll head out first.”
“Can you take my disciple to tour Xilu City?”
“It’s her first time here.”
Bai E and the others naturally wouldn’t refuse Huo Yuhao’s request and nodded together.
Huo Yuhao looked at Su Tong and said softly:
“Su Tong, follow them to get familiar with Xilu City first; I’ll come find you right away.”
“Okay, Teacher.”
Seeing Huo Yuhao’s gaze, Su Tong realized her teacher had something important; as his disciple, she naturally couldn’t disturb him.
“Let’s go, Sister Su Tong; we’ll take you to tour Xilu City! Die Bao is waiting for me at the commercial street.”
“Let me tell you, Die Bao is super cute!”
“And Meng Bao and Xiao Bao, you all come too.”
Feng Jin tugged at Su Tong’s clothes, happily pointing toward the north side of Xilu City.
Meng Hongchen found this nickname quite cute and liked it; Xiao Hongchen, however, had a darkened face, barely holding it together.
Still, the two followed Feng Jin and the others to tour Xilu City.
Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head, then went to Roman’s side.
“Calling me over, is there something?”
Roman took a can of cola from his Storage Soul Tool and tossed it to Huo Yuhao, saying:
“For you; I knew you’d like it.”
“Of course it’s something important.”
Huo Yuhao twisted open the tab, took a sip, and said:
“Still soda with fizz!”
“Spit it out; don’t keep me in suspense!”
Roman shrugged helplessly; several Alchemy runes on his right hand lit up, emitting mysterious and noble blue light.
Then starting from Roman, a desolate world began to unfold, gradually eroding and covering reality.
Huo Yuhao recognized at a glance that this was an Inherent Skill, likely the result of Roman deconstructing magic with Alchemy—he had actually created an Inherent Skill.
Inherent Skill was somewhat like a domain but more advanced.
It was the user’s mental world eroding the world, a form of imagination manifestation.
Above the sky of Roman’s Inherent Skill, a ring emitting dazzling light appeared!
Countless streams of light flashed over the ring, each containing vast Alchemy runes.
Every flicker of the ring contained natural philosophy; vast knowledge surged out amid the light’s emission and absorption, then annihilated into the world.
Huo Yuhao looked at the ring in the sky, filled with shock no less than his first time seeing the Dream World.
“That is?!”
Roman came to Huo Yuhao’s side and said softly:
“This is the foundation.”
“Alchemy foundation.”
“That one, the structure might be a bit bloated; currently, many functions are still missing.”
“Temporarily can’t help you record vast Alchemy to promote Alchemy across the continent.”
“But it can absolutely support Magic Net and spiritual power macro-control.”
“On the Alchemy side, once I deconstruct the Magic Foundation with Alchemy, there’ll be no problem.”
“I’ll hand this Inherent Skill over to you right away; I’ve processed this Inherent Skill.”
“It can perfectly integrate into the Dream Space, like an intermediary, directly completing the foundation’s induction.”
“Pure lazy person setup—no need to use a single brain cell!”
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes and said: “You brat, words within words.”
“But this time, you did really splendidly!”
“Your Magic Meili is here! I say so!”
Next up is the Magic Net; the silver dragon fish should come out for a stroll too—this guy is still sleeping! Half the continent’s Soul Beasts are surnamed Huo now!
