Chapter 113: Yuhao is Five and a Half, Spoiled into Tao's Yuhao

It's unknown if it was because it had lost Shi Xing's control, but the Spacetime Turbulence became extremely chaotic. Huo Yuhao only felt the world spin, and the next moment he was spat out.

His figure fell from the shattered void, crashing onto a certain beach with a boom.

The severe pain, as if his entire skeleton had fallen apart, made Huo Yuhao unable to bear it. Fortunately, his Immortal Physique was powerful enough in its recovery ability. He just needed to lie quietly for a while.

Time seemed to have deviated. Huo Yuhao's body changed from an infant state to that of a child. Through his spiritual power's perception of his physical condition, he had once again become the appearance of when he was about five years old. When he was a child, because of malnutrition, he was much thinner and weaker than other children of the same age.

"Your Majesty, Brother Tianmeng?" Huo Yuhao tried to call out to the various great masters in his spiritual sea but received no response.

The effect of the time reversal was still present. Huo Yuhao estimated that he would stay in this era for at least a week or so, and during this period, he would continuously grow up and return to his appearance before he was hit.

Since he was here, he would be at ease. Huo Yuhao also wanted to see what was so different about the outside world from many years ago. It was just that he was unclear where he had been teleported to.

But he was soon discovered by people. The previous shattering of the void had still attracted the attention of many people. When a group of people rushed to this place, they happened to see Huo Yuhao lying on the beach.

Huo Yuhao might as well close his eyes and pretend to have fainted.

"Look, there's a child over there."

A group of people gathered around and discovered Huo Yuhao, who was lying quietly on the beach in ragged clothes.

The leader of this group was a man in his thirties. He picked up Huo Yuhao and gave him a rough check. "Fortunately, this child should not be injured. He should have been knocked out by the strange phenomenon in the sky just now."

"Let's take him back to the town's hospital for a check-up. Maybe he's some family's child who ran out and encountered this kind of thing."

"This child looks a bit unfamiliar to me. He doesn't seem to be a local."

"Could he be a child spy from the Star Luo side?"

The crowd discussed animatedly. Huo Yuhao, who was pretending to be asleep, also captured several important pieces of information from it.

One was that this place should belong to the border of the Sun Moon Empire. The second was that the flames of war had also spread here, and the local residents had a certain degree of vigilance against outsiders.

No matter what era, it was accompanied by war. This Douluo Continent was no exception. And in the original Huo Yuhao's world line, a full-scale continental war had broken out in the later stages. In the end, it was only with the intervention of the Buddha from the lower realm that the war was postponed for many years. And the original Huo Yuhao's illegitimate son became a generation's great ruler of the Douluo Continent, unifying it into the Douluo Federation.

As for why it was not named the Sun Moon Federation, the name of the victor, this would have to go into the personal desires of the great God-King Tang.

Huo Yuhao was sent back to the town's medical clinic. He knew that if he didn't wake up soon, once his superhuman physique was discovered, he might be judged as a spy.

"Waaah waaah!" The moment he arrived in town, Huo Yuhao very cooperatively started to cry. Coupled with his thin and delicate face, it was hard for people not to feel pity.

Obviously, the man holding him did not have much experience in coaxing children. With an embarrassed look on his face, he handed him over to the accompanying woman.

"The little fellow should be only three or four years old. To be abandoned by his parents like this, so pitiful," the woman holding him said with pain.

After their group returned to town, through a round of running around and inquiring, they learned that Huo Yuhao was not the child of any family. Seeing that he had no injuries, they finally decided to let the young and beautiful woman temporarily take him home.

The leading man and the woman were a married couple who had lived in this small town on the border of the Sun Moon Empire for many years. They jointly ran a restaurant, and their life was quite prosperous.

"Uncle, how much farther is your home? I'm so hungry..." Huo Yuhao shrank in the woman's arms and acted cute. Through their conversation, he learned that the man's name was Huang Bin, the owner of a restaurant who often went to the seaside for ingredients. And the woman holding him was named Lihua, the most beautiful woman in the small town.

It had to be said that the little Huo Yuhao, having already fused with the Ten Thousand Demon King and obtained the Immortal Spirit Physique, was very beautiful. His skin tone was as exquisite as warm jade. And his pair of large eyes, which were his martial soul, blinking and blinking, were even more like they could speak, emitting the luster of gemstones and jade.

"Little fellow, you're hungry, aren't you? We'll be there soon," Lihua gently pinched his cheek, clearly unable to put the little Huo Yuhao down.

Along the way, the three of them walked and stopped. Because it was the first time Huo Yuhao had appeared in the small town, and he was nestled in Lihua's arms, he immediately attracted the attention of countless women of this age group. They all gathered around the three of them, scrambling to hold Huo Yuhao in their arms.

Continuously being passed around in numerous valleys, it made the little Huo Yuhao's head a little dizzy, and at the same time, he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: Could it be, this is heaven?

Huang Bin watched the Huo Yuhao, who looked scared and was burying his head in the mountain ranges, and a trace of an emotion called jealousy rose in his heart. He couldn't help but complain: It really pays to be a good-looking child.

But thinking of his wife, the most beautiful woman in this small town, who had also given birth to a delicate daughter for him in the early years, he was relieved. His daughter would be nine soon. If she had such a cute little brother to accompany her in the future, that wouldn't be bad either.

It was just that he didn't know why, but when he had felt jealous just now, he vaguely seemed to see a lecherous smile on the little Huo Yuhao's face.

Lihua once again snatched Huo Yuhao back. The reason was that these women were simply too crazy. The little Huo Yuhao's face was almost completely covered in their lip prints. Looking at his dazed appearance, she thought he was not used to the enthusiasm of the townspeople.

Little did she know that Huo Yuhao at this time was crying out in his heart, My dear mother, please let me enjoy it a little longer!

Subsequently, the Huang Bin couple brought Huo Yuhao back to the restaurant and made him a big meal.

Huo Yuhao ate with relish. Just as he was marveling at the skill of this great chef Huang Bin, his chopsticks picked up a piece of roasted fish and put it in his mouth. His face couldn't help but change slightly.

Huh? Why does this taste like the roasted fish I'm best at?

Seeing Huo Yuhao stop his gobbling action, Lihua couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's wrong, Little Yuhao? Is the fish not cooked?"

Huang Bin at his wife's side pouted. You're just being over-concerned. The skill of that roasted fish was passed down from my ancestors. I've been doing it for so many years. How could I make such a low-level mistake?

Huo Yuhao felt as if he had grasped something. Then he smiled and shook his head at her, continuing to gobble down his food, his eyes trying hard to squeeze out a few tears to put on a show.

Lihua thought he was moved to tears and hurriedly comforted him.

Their daughter had gone to the junior soul master academy to study and would only be back close to evening. After Huo Yuhao had eaten lunch, he lay down on the temporarily set up small bed, bored. As time went by, the effect of Shi Xing's ninth soul skill, Time Reversal, also gradually became smaller. Perhaps when this soul skill completely lost its effect, he would disappear from this timeline.

Huo Yuhao still remembered what Bibi Dong had said when he was about to escape from the Spacetime Turbulence. He absolutely could not deliberately tamper with history, otherwise he would surely suffer the backlash of cause and effect.

Cause and effect? In fact, ever since he had transmigrated to this world and blown up the Duke's Mansion, the world line had actually begun to change, right? Even if he just breathed one more mouthful of air in this timeline, history would still change to a certain extent.

So Huo Yuhao felt that he might as well just go with the flow, taking one step at a time.

He just hoped that in the original world line, nothing would happen to Ma Xiaotao...

———

The original world line.

Wang Yan had already finished registering at the tournament organizer's side, and the academy's reinforcements were also on the way. The tournament was about to begin. Even with the assistance of two Soul King-level seniors, in terms of the main combat, everything still had to be completed by them, the preparatory team members.

Wang Yan calmed his mind a little, a smile appearing on his face as he said, "How did everyone rest last night? The treatment from the Star Luo Empire is really not bad."

Xu Sanshi, sitting first on his right-hand side, said, "I rested well. Teacher Wang, tomorrow is the opening of the tournament. I wonder about the reinforcements from the academy's side..."

Wang Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. I have already received a message from the academy. Because it takes a certain amount of time to recall the students who are out, and besides, our academy has special privileges."

"Special privileges?" The disciples from the outer court all looked at Wang Yan with some surprise.

Wang Yan nodded as if it were a matter of course and said, "That's right! Don't you forget, our Shrek Academy is the continent's number one academy. Which time have we not been the final champion of the tournament? Therefore, no matter when the people from our academy arrive, they will be able to supplement their registration. However, because the inner court disciples are also Shrek's supervisors, many of them are out performing missions. Therefore, it will definitely take a certain amount of time for them to rush over."

"We won't encounter too strong of an opponent in the preliminary rounds. I believe that with your ability, there should be no problem. Below, I will first explain to you the competition rules of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament—"

After giving the members of the outer court a reassurance pill, Wang Yan felt that there wouldn't be too big of a problem. He said composedly, "The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament is the ultimate battle of the academies of various countries. In line with the principles of fairness and justice, what is competed is the comprehensive strength of each academy."

"Therefore, I went to find out today. A total of one hundred and thirty-three advanced soul master academies and advanced soul tool master academies have come to participate this time. The first round of the preliminaries is directly a knockout tournament. In other words, the losing side will be directly eliminated. The competition method adopted for the first round is all team battles, which is a seven-on-seven battle. The draw will be held tomorrow. It is estimated that the first round of the competition will take three days to complete."

"Only after the first round is over will the grouping be carried out, with about eight or nine teams in each group, to conduct a round-robin tournament." Speaking of this, Wang Yan paused for a moment, his face once again becoming grave.

Hearing that the first round was a knockout tournament, the faces of the crowd clearly became grave. If Shrek Academy were to be eliminated in one round in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament, that would be too big of a joke.

"During the round-robin tournament, a random match system will be adopted. There are three situations for the random match system. One is a single-person elimination system, the second is a three-two-two cooperative combat mode, and the third is a seven-on-seven team battle. At that time, it will test comprehensive strength. Each match will have a draw first, and then the match will begin. Whichever mode is drawn, the match will be conducted in that way. This is also the best test of comprehensive strength."

"The specific situation of these few modes, I will explain to you in detail after we have passed the first round. What you must face now is the opponent of the first round."

"Only by passing this round will we have a chance to enter the knockout tournament and wait for the reinforcements. Yueheng and the others will be completely unable to participate for this one week. So, we can only rely on you. No matter what, you must fight through this one match."

"After passing this round of elimination, the subsequent matches will not be so tense. And we still have reinforcements coming. At most, in half a month, when Yueheng and their strength has recovered, we will still be the top-tier team!"

In this regard, Wang Yan's face was full of confidence, without showing half a bit of worry. He said with a slight smile, "When the competition starts, you will find that your opponents are much weaker than you imagine. Don't you forget, you are all elite students selected from Shrek Academy. Although you are a preparatory team, to be able to represent Shrek Academy here has already proven that you possess sufficiently powerful strength. You can't possibly treat the opponents of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Dueling Tournament as the strong enemies you face in your annual promotion assessment!"

The crowd was once again stunned by his bluff. That seems right! We are students of the continent's number one academy. We absolutely cannot use the students of the same age in our own academy to measure the opponents of this tournament.

Yan Shaozhe sat at the side, very satisfied with Wang Yan's passionate speech. As long as he stabilized the hearts of these little ones, he wouldn't have to worry about them not putting in effort for Shrek Academy.
