Chapter 152 The True Dragon's Reverse Scale
Huo Yuhao followed Gu Yue all the way to her room.
Like Huo Yuhao's room, it was on the same floor as Leng Yaozhu's residence.
The layout inside is the same as his room, but the decorations here are clearly more geared towards girls.
A faint fragrance lingered in the air.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze, but his curiosity grew even stronger. What exactly did Gu Yue want to do by bringing him to her room?
Gu Yue turned around and gently closed the door.
She looked at Huo Yuhao, a faint smile in her dark eyes.
"Congratulations on breaking through to Soul King and condensing your first Soul Core."
I have prepared a gift for you.
After saying that, she stepped forward, took Huo Yuhao's right hand, and placed an item in his palm.
It felt cool to the touch, smooth yet hard.
Huo Yuhao looked down and saw a palm-sized, fan-shaped object that looked a bit like a seashell, with a beautiful shape and rounded edges.
But with his powerful eyesight, he could naturally tell that it wasn't a seashell at all; it looked more like some kind of scale.
The scale was entirely silver-white, but under the illumination of the soul-guiding light inside the room, a seven-colored luster flowed across its silver-white base, as dazzling as a rainbow.
Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked at Gu Yue, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Before he could speak, Gu Yue said, "Drip a drop of blood on it."
Huo Yuhao had no doubts and immediately pricked his finger, letting a drop of bright red blood fall onto the scale in his palm.
The blood that fell on the scale did not flow across its smooth surface; instead, it vanished instantly, completely absorbed by the scale.
Then, the scale in Huo Yuhao's palm disappeared instantly.
In his perception, it didn't disappear, but rather merged into his body!
"this……"
Huo Yuhao looked at Gu Yue again, his eyes filled with questions and surprise.
Clearly, this scale is anything but ordinary.
Gu Yue couldn't help but smile when she saw his expression.
"This is a true dragon's reverse scale passed down in my family."
"It's like a talisman, something that can save your life in a crisis."
At this moment, with the Reverse Scale integrated into his bloodline, Huo Yuhao could clearly sense a hidden yet powerful energy contained within it.
Huo Yuhao secretly judged that it should be able to withstand even an attack at the level of a Title Douluo.
This reverse scale is a true life-saving treasure.
Upon suddenly receiving such a valuable gift, Huo Yuhao felt excited and overjoyed, but also overwhelmed with self-reproach.
Because he realized that he had never given Gu Yue any decent gift before.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao's expression was a bit off, Gu Yue tilted her head slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Yuhao pursed his lips, his eyes filled with a complex expression.
"Thank you for the gift." His voice was sincere, but tinged with guilt. "However... I haven't prepared anything for you yet."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue couldn't help but chuckle.
Those dark eyes curved into crescent moons, filled with laughter.
She thought it was something serious, but it turns out he was thinking about this.
She then said, "Then you should prepare well."
She paused, a sly glint in her eyes.
"Or, could you give it to me when I break through to the Soul King realm?"
Hearing Gu Yue's relaxed tone and seeing her mischievous expression, Huo Yuhao knew that she didn't blame him.
He nodded solemnly immediately.
"it is good."
"When you break through to Soul King, I will definitely prepare a great gift for you."
……
In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.
The holiday is over, the new semester has started, and three months have already passed.
Shrek Academy, the Battle Arena. A reading feast: a vast collection of books, an ultimate experience.
All twenty-four core students from the Foreign Languages Department have gathered here at this moment.
Some people looked confused, glancing left and right, still unsure of what to do.
Some people, however, had a determined look in their eyes, filled with anticipation, clearly having received some prior information.
"Elder Xuan!"
"I refuse to accept this!"
A voice came from the crowd. The speaker was wearing a black school uniform, was tall, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and could be considered handsome.
At this moment, his face clearly showed a hint of resentment, his brows were furrowed, and his gaze was fixed on Xuanzi, who was standing on the high place.
He raised his right hand and pointed to one of the people in the crowd.
"Why doesn't he have to participate in the selection?"
The figure he was pointing at stood there quietly, his expression calm and composed.
Just now, Elder Xuanzi of the Inner Court announced that these core students of the Outer Court would be selected through a chaotic battle.
The six people who remain at the end are the winners.
However, Xuanzi also announced that among the twenty-four core students of the outer academy, one person would not need to participate in this selection and would directly "advance"!
And this person is naturally Huo Yuhao.
The one who spoke at that moment was Xu Sanshi, a sixth-year student from the Foreign Languages Department.
Clearly, he felt that this arrangement was unfair!
Faced with Xu Sanshi's "questioning", Xuanzi did not rush to answer.
He stood on high ground, holding a half-eaten chicken leg in his hand, his greasy face revealing no expression.
As a senior academy member, he was too lazy to answer such a question.
Does a junior's question warrant his explanation?
But now that it's an open selection process, we naturally need to make the situation clear.
He swallowed the remaining chicken leg in one gulp, chewing it in his mouth along with the bone, making a "crunch crunch" sound.
Finally, he swallowed it all down with a "gulp".
He picked up the gourd again, tilted his head back and took a big gulp, then smacked his lips and slowly opened his mouth.
"This is the college's decision."
His voice was hoarse and casual, as if he were talking about something trivial.
"Huo Yuhao's strength far surpasses yours, so there is no need for him to undergo an assessment."
If it were an ordinary person, they might have retreated immediately in the face of an elder like this.
But Xu Sanshi was different. He came from the Xuanming Sect. Although he was not as arrogant and domineering as Dai Huabin, pride was still ingrained in his bones.
That pride wasn't outward arrogance, but rather a restrained self-confidence; he never thought he was inferior to anyone else.
He snorted, his gaze passing over Xuanzi and landing on Huo Yuhao in the crowd.
"We'll only know their true strength after we fight them!"
His voice was loud and provocative.
Huo Yuhao's reputation is indeed quite high in the outer academy.
He defeated the Soul Emperor teacher on the very first day of school, a fact known to everyone in the entire outer academy.
However, many people remain skeptical about this, as it is simply too unbelievable.
Huo Yuhao didn't make many moves at the academy. The only time he made a public move was during the freshman assessment, when he defeated Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's spirit fusion skill, Netherworld White Tiger.
That time, it was truly amazing.
Xu Sanshi admitted that Huo Yuhao was very strong, but he believed that he was not weak either.
He possesses a top-tier martial spirit, making him virtually unrivaled among his peers.
He felt it was unfair to let Huo Yuhao advance directly.
Upon hearing this, Xuanzi frowned slightly.
A hint of impatience flashed in his cloudy old eyes as he asked, "So what do you want?"
Xu Sanshi raised his hand and pointed at Huo Yuhao.
"Let me fight him."
"If I lose, then I will accept it."
He paused, his gaze falling on Huo Yuhao, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"In the end, he's just a Soul Master."
