Douluo: Danheng just want to avoid trouble, Gu Yuena Pursues.-Chapter 221: Huo Wu Comes to Be a Guest, Surprised!
Chapter 221 - 221: Huo Wu Comes to Be a Guest, Surprised!
"It's just that it records a lot of knowledge that's not available now, like perfume, or other things..."
Yu Xiaogang's expression was awkward, but he kept looking at Danheng and continued to explain, "I mean, you understand what I'm saying. I'm not saying you learned everything from ancient books, but there's definitely something in there that inspired you, right?"
Yu Xiaogang was explaining, as he had previously suspected that Danheng must have a precious ancient book.
Otherwise, how could he perform better than himself?
If only he could get his hands on that book, he would definitely make even further progress!
"???" Danheng was stunned for a moment.
Yu Xiaogang was so serious that he almost started to doubt whether he really did have such a book!
However, he did read a lot, but it wasn't just one ancient book!
"You... which book are you talking about?" Danheng asked.
If a single ancient book could get Yu Xiaogang off his back, he wouldn't mind telling him.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up, and he excitedly slapped the table.
"I knew it! I knew it!"
Yu Xiaogang was exhilarated, as he had proven himself!
How could anyone be more powerful than him?
Unless they were dead!
The fact that Danheng was more powerful than him clearly meant he had the help of ancient books, and not just one, but several ancient books!
"Mr. Danheng, could you share your ancient books with me? I'm willing to exchange them for the rare collections from the Spirit Hall!"
Yu Xiaogang asked eagerly.
Danheng shook his head slightly and said, "Those books don't belong to me."
"How could that be? Mr. Danheng, don't think I'm joking with you. Back in the Spirit Hall, I was an important figure and had access to many rare ancient books that only titled Douluo could read!"
Yu Xiaogang said anxiously, hurriedly proving himself.
He then took out a book from his storage soul guide.
He pointed at the title of the book and said, "Mr. Danheng, look at this one. It was written by the Pope of the Spirit Hall three hundred years ago. It's not available anywhere else! Not even the emperor has the right to access it!"
"..." Danheng blinked.
He believed the emperor wouldn't have access to it.
But the question was, how did Yu Xiaogang manage to get it?
"..."
In the shadows, Qian Daoliu almost couldn't contain his rage when he saw this.
This must have been the work of Bibi Dong and Qian Xunjie from back then!
Even the Spirit Hall's secrets were being shown to an outsider like Yu Xiaogang!
"Mr. Danheng, let's make a trade! I have more than a hundred books like this! I guarantee you won't lose out!"
Yu Xiaogang urged.
Danheng twitched his mouth slightly. He didn't want to offend the Spirit Hall over this matter.
Besides, Qian Daoliu was right next to him, listening in!
"Alright, I've already said it. I learned from other books. I can tell you the titles, but I don't actually have those books."
Danheng waved his hand.
"Okay, okay! Mr. Danheng, you are truly a person of integrity. I was wrong before, and I apologize!"
Yu Xiaogang quickly bowed his hands in apology.
Danheng shook his head slightly. The casual apology showed that Yu Xiaogang never fully accepted it. But of course, Danheng didn't mind at all.
He started writing down the titles. There were over a hundred related books.
Yu Xiaogang initially looked forward to it, but as he watched Danheng write without stopping, his brows gradually furrowed.
Although he claimed to be well-read, the books he read were all rare collections!
They were all classics released by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Spirit Hall, with hardly any fluff.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
But the books Danheng was writing down... there had to be some fluff, which meant a lot of content.
Even if he read one book every ten days, it would still take years to finish them!
Yu Xiaogang looked suspiciously at Danheng and asked, "Mr. Danheng, you... you've read all of these?"
Danheng had written over fifty books by now without looking up, replying, "Yes."
"..." Yu Xiaogang's face twitched.
He was beginning to suspect that Danheng was mocking him. How could this be possible?
Danheng finished writing, then handed the list to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang took it, looked at the list of over a hundred books, and his mouth twitched.
"Mr. Danheng, you studied perfume and the movements of the Spirit Hall from all of these books?"
Danhheng nodded, "These should be the books related to it."
"..." Yu Xiaogang fell silent for a moment, then thanked him and turned to leave.
Having achieved his goal, he no longer showed any respect to Danheng.
Danhheng didn't mind, continuing his calculations for Zhu Zhuqing's best soul ring.
This required careful consideration.
"That bastard, so rude!"
Qian Daoliu suddenly spoke, walking up to Danheng with an angry expression on his dignified face.
The treasures of the Spirit Hall or the Angel Clan had been sent to an outsider like that?
Danhheng didn't respond and continued calculating the soul beast.
"Mr. Danheng, if I teach him a lesson, you wouldn't mind, would you? After all, he has the Spirit Hall's treasures..." Qian Daoliu asked.
Danhheng shook his head slightly, "Do as you please."
Qian Daoliu sighed in relief. As long as he wasn't Mr. Danheng's friend, Yu Xiaogang was in for some trouble!
Yu Xiaogang left the library and was on his way back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan when he was stopped by Tang San and the others from Shrek Academy.
Tang San said, "Teacher, we want to know if there's a way to accelerate our soul power training!"
Ma Hongjun grinned, "Master, you're highly praised by our dean, who says you're the world's number one scholar... But now, that Zhu Zhuqing, who's about the same age as us, is already a Soul Zong!"
The rest of the Shrek group looked at Yu Xiaogang with eager eyes.
Especially Dai Mubai, who was furious at being outdone by his former fiancée!
Yu Xiaogang froze for a moment. A twelve-year-old Soul Zong?
If he had discovered her earlier and taken her as a disciple, he would have proven himself by now!
This was all Tang San's fault for not being capable enough!
"Maybe her innate soul power is stronger, and also..."
"Her innate soul power isn't full. Among us, it's probably the weakest."
Dai Mubai suddenly said.
As her ex-fiancé, he knew Zhu Zhuqing's basic situation well.
"Teacher, do you think she might be taking a shortcut, using something that damages her future?"
Tang San pondered.
He had been leveling up his abilities, but now he found himself being surpassed!
It was hard to accept!
"..." Yu Xiaogang remained silent for a moment. He had just been thinking of how to send these little idiots off.
Now, Tang San's words gave him some inspiration.
"That's right, Xiao San has sharp insight. Think about it, a twelve-year-old Soul Zong, is that normal? Even a fifteen-year-old Soul Zong is almost unheard of in history. Even the Angel God, who once became a god, has this record because her innate soul power was level twenty!"
Yu Xiaogang paused for a rhetorical question, leaving Tang San and the others stunned.
They quickly went from envy and jealousy to suspicion.
Zhu Zhuqing must have cheated!
She's advancing so quickly now, but she definitely won't have much room for growth in the future!
Otherwise, how could Zhu Zhuqing ever surpass past gods?
"So, don't get thrown off by her rapid progress. We don't know what evil method she used, but it's definitely wrong. It's a shortcut, and you shouldn't learn from her."
Yu Xiaogang encouraged them to believe that his current training method was the best before hurriedly leaving.
As he left, he couldn't help but tighten his clothes.
It felt like the air had suddenly turned cold...
Evening.
Dan Heng and Zhu Zhuqing returned home, with a little tail following them.
Dan Heng went to the kitchen, while Zhu Zhuqing was about to enter her training room when she suddenly heard a knock at the door.
"Is it that little yellow-haired guy?"
Zi Ji was sitting on the flowerbed, munching on sunflower seeds, her mouth moving with each bite.
Zhu Zhuqing gave her a glance before going to open the door.
Outside, it was Huo Wu.
Huo Wu smiled mischievously and said, "Zhuqing, what a coincidence, I didn't even realize I ended up at your place..."
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing's lips twitched slightly. What's so coincidental about this? She's followed me home!
"Can I come in and sit for a while?" Huo Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing eagerly.
She was dying to receive some guidance from Dan Heng!
Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly. Her relationship with Huo Wu was good, but she didn't want to upset Dan Heng.
"No..."
"I promise I won't tell anyone about what's inside! I won't say a word! My mouth is as tight as the gates of the Tiandou Palace!"
Huo Wu crossed her arms in front of her mouth, speaking seriously.
Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a moment, then turned around to ask Dan Heng.
Soon, she came back and led Huo Wu inside.
Huo Wu was overjoyed and thanked her.
Once inside, she was astonished as she looked around.
This was Dan Heng's house. Surely there must be many secrets here that allowed Zhu Zhuqing to reach the Soul Sect at just twelve years old!
However, the yard itself seemed unremarkable, even quite ordinary.
The only thing that caught Huo Wu's attention was a small metallic hut.
It was poorly built—too small to be a doghouse, yet too shabby to be a proper human dwelling.
Huo Wu blinked and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who had stopped in front of her.
Zhu Zhuqing said, "Huo Wu, don't talk to anyone about what happened today. You must swear to keep it a secret!"
"Zhuqing, what's wrong? Why are you so serious?" Huo Wu was surprised.
She thought she was just visiting, but now it felt like she was about to do something very serious!
"You little girl, if you're not being honest, I'll grind your bones into dust..."
Zi Ji suddenly smiled, speaking in a playful yet menacing tone.
A terrifying aura instantly enveloped Huo Wu, vanishing just as quickly.
"!!!"
Huo Wu's smile disappeared in an instant.
Under the weight of this fear, her mouth dropped open, unable to speak, trembling uncontrollably.
Her mind went blank, nearly causing her to faint from the shock!
"Zi Ji! Don't mess around!"
Zhu Zhuqing stepped in front of Huo Wu, angrily shouting.
Zi Ji let out a soft laugh and said indifferently, "I'm just giving her a little reminder. And you, Zhu Zhuqing, don't cause trouble for my brother-in-law."
Zhu Zhuqing gave her a cold look, then led Huo Wu into the training room.
Huo Wu, still stunned, stumbled along, following her inside.
Zhu Zhuqing shut the fully sealed metallic door behind them.
The formation on the door linked to the surrounding walls, blending seamlessly as one.
At the same time, lights inside the room flickered on.
Huo Wu snapped out of her daze and exclaimed, "Zhuqing, why are we here? And that woman earlier..."
Zhu Zhuqing replied, "Don't mind her. She's a crazy woman. This is my training method. If it's too much for you, just say so."
"What?" Huo Wu was confused.
Zhu Zhuqing started adjusting a knob, and the pressure inside the training room began to increase.
Huo Wu immediately felt the change and was stunned.
"Zhuqing... what's going on?"
"I... why do I feel like... I'm getting heavier?"
Huo Wu looked at Zhu Zhuqing, a bit anxious.
Zhu Zhuqing replied, "This is my current training—adding burdens."
"This kind of training is just asking for trouble, right? Does it really work?" Huo Wu questioned as she began circulating her soul power, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to withstand the pressure.
Zhu Zhuqing hummed in acknowledgment, not explaining further.
She hadn't planned to bring Huo Wu in, but Zi Ji had provoked her.
But now that it was done, she wouldn't back down.
After all, Huo Wu had promised not to speak of it.
She continued turning the knob. Normally, she would set the pressure to the third large scale based on her tolerance.
But now, at the second large scale, about halfway through.
"Zhuqing, enough... enough, I... I can't take it anymore..." Huo Wu suddenly spoke, gritting her teeth.
Under the pressure, her body bent over, and beads of sweat began to form on her fair face.
She could only speak now because she had reached her limit!
"???"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Huo Wu, confused.
Wait, you're really that weak?
"..." Huo Wu's face turned red as she saw Zhu Zhuqing's expression. She felt deeply embarrassed.
Could it really be that there's such a huge gap between them?
"Zhuqing, you... you train with this kind of pressure normally? Isn't it enough?" Huo Wu asked, puzzled.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly. "My training limit is around thirty-four pressure. Right now, the pressure is only twenty-five."
"..." Huo Wu was helpless. Though she was reluctant, she didn't dare to push herself further.
Gradually, Zhu Zhuqing showed no sign of strain.
Huo Wu, however, was drenched in sweat, as if she had been pulled from the sea.
But her face was filled with astonishment.
Increasing her cultivation in this environment was far more effective than in the simulated training grounds at the Blaze Academy!
"This is... this is amazing!"
Huo Wu silently marveled in awe.
Just then, the metallic door suddenly opened.
Zi Ji called out, "Alright, dinner's ready. Come out and eat!"
"I know," Zhu Zhuqing replied with a stern face. She wasn't getting along with Zi Ji at all right now!
Once her strength grew, she would definitely give Zi Ji a good lesson for being such an unruly woman!
On the other side, at the Tiandou Palace.
Emperor Xue Ye had received reports from several of the princes, with the most notable one being the frequent contacts between the Haotian Sect and Xue Beng.
"Haha, what are those Haotian Sect guys thinking? Do they think I won't be able to relax much longer? Are they so eager to find a replacement?"
Emperor Xue Ye sneered with rage on his face.
At this moment, only a few palace attendants and Prince Xue Xing were present. Even "Xue Qinghe" was absent.
Prince Xue Xing immediately said:"Xue Beng is mischievous. How could he have taken the initiative to contact the Haotian Sect? It must be that the Haotian Sect couldn't save face but couldn't persist any longer, that's why they resorted to this..."
