--- Chapter 259 ---
Sky Feather City.
The next day.
Huo Yuhao meditated with eyes closed before the window of Dreamy Goose Hotel's room and sighed in relief. After checking in, Huo Yuhao didn't sleep like others and reviewed his new skills instead.
Mainly the Dragon God's Skills.
After observing how the Imperfect Dragon God's Physique acted upon activation, Huo Yuhao noticed his vitality and dragon's energy condensed into every drop of blood inside his body, which similarly turned into pure power.
It followed this continuous sequence, starting from his spinal cord, then his bones, marrows, and eventually every drop of blood.
This process is the opposite of human cultivation since it cultivates one's own blood to raise potential and strength. But even more than that, this evolution process will temper one bloodline into making each drop of blood contain energy equal to a Divine Weapon.
Unfortunately, it also has a high requirement of bloodline.
A 'normal' bloodline won't cut it because of the explosive nature of this method. One small mistake and one's body would explode.
According to Huo Yuhao's brief analysis, only people like Scathach, Ophis, Great Red(Rose), Tiamat, Albion, Ddraig, Vali Lucifer, Grayfia, Gabriel, Yae, Huo Yun'er, and overall pure-blooded entities could replicate the Dragon God's Physique Sequence.
On top of that, the blood cycle of the Imperfect Dragon God's Physique is defective because of the Extraterrestrial Race's mimicry limitation. Still, Huo Yuhao is confident he can deduce the lost parts.
After all, Huo Yuhao is also a master when it comes to manipulating his blood because he has multiple strong bloodlines.
Unknowingly, Huo Yuhao was about to discover the Dragon Clan's Lost Cultivation Method. A Cultivation Method that the Dragon God invented and used to be the strongest in his era.
Now you might wonder, why didn't Huo Yuhao upgrade Imperfect Dragon God's Physique? The short answer is he can't because upgrading a flawed product is just asking for disaster. At the very least, he had to improve the Imperfect Dragon God's Physique first.
"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao gradually opened his eyes. He looked at the window and felt a gentle sunlight brushing his face.
"As expected, the 20% flaw is quite difficult to cover."
"Let's stop for now."
Huo Yuhao stood up and went to the shower. He hasn't cleaned himself after exercising a little yesterday.
...
After showering, Huo Yuhao put on fresh clothes and went down to the lobby. To his surprise, he couldn't find any of Shrek Academy's people and used his Divine Sense to spot them.
"Well..." Huo Yuhao discovered most of them sprawling on the bed. They are probably dead tired from dealing with the Extraterrestrial Race's endless wave.
He smiled and shook his head helplessly. He changed his plan and went to Qianye Ying'er and Scathach's room.
After some flirting, they dragged him to the Sky Feather City's plaza and had a short date there.
Sky Feather City is a bustling city where wandering merchants and spirit masters would stop and restock their necessities. Since it was a couple hundred miles away from the open sea and two settlements from the Star Luo Empire, this place is suitable as a resting place.
Due to the Dragon Nest using Java Island to host the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament, Huo Yuhao spotted several academies and sects resting at Sky Feather City. It seems Shrek Academy is not the only one who used this route.
Even knowing this, Huo Yuhao didn't expect to meet a group of acquaintances this fast.
"Yuhao, I didn't expect to meet you here~!" Said the Princess of Star Luo Empire with a smile on her face upon catching Huo Yuhao at a steamed bun stall.
Huo Yuhao was chewing on a hot steamed bun when Xu Jiujiu and her group greeted him. In return, he coughed a few times and washed it with soy milk that Qianye Ying'er handed to him.
Xu Jiujiu blinked her eyes in surprise and frowned inside. Now that she observed again, Huo Yuhao was 'actually' accompanied by two beautiful young women.
One is a cold beauty with flowing purple hair and red eyes. Not only is this sudden competitor taller than Xu Jiujiu, but she also has this profound, oppressive aura around her.
As for the other young woman, Xu Jiujiu has never seen such a pure-looking girl in her entire life. Those pearly eyes, snow-like skin, and long golden hair overwhelmed her.
She knew someone with similar attributes, but Qianye Ying'er was like an angel descending to the mortal world.
Xu Jiujiu maintained her calm and smiled at Huo Yuhao, waiting for his response.
"Morning, princess. I didn't expect to meet you this soon." Huo Yuhao responded with a smile. He looked behind and saw two more familiar faces.
Kuroka and Koneko awkwardly gazed back at Huo Yuhao. Ever since they held an inside tournament between the people from the Draconic Deus, the Nekoshou Sisters have been roaming around the Douluo Continent.
It was not until two weeks ago they came in contact with the Princess of Star Luo Empire and effectively joined her team. They enjoyed their time but didn't expect to meet Huo Yuhao here.
'Nyaahalo, Yuhao~!' Kuroka sent him a sound transmission.
Huo Yuhao sighed inside, 'So, this is your chosen team?'
'Yup, Jiujiu is such a good host, you know? We saved her from a spirit beast, and she immediately recruited us.' Kuroka giggled in return.
Meanwhile, Koneko just stared at Huo Yuhao with bright eyes. She didn't expect to meet him this soon. But this is also a good thing for her.
Huo Yuhao was genuinely surprised by Kuroka's story. Who would have thought after he saved Xu Jiujiu a month ago, she would fall into yet another problem?
He stared at Xu Jiujiu and invited her casually, "What about breakfast, princess?"
"Oh, sure." Xu Jiujiu responded happily. But before that, Xu Jiujiu ordered her team to check something first, which left only her and the Nekoshou Sisters.
The Star Luo Empire's Princess probably hadn't realized that Kuroka and Koneko weren't humans.
They went to a nice restaurant on the plaza and ordered some warm yet light food. Huo Yuhao sat with Scathach and Qianye Ying'er, and Xu Jiujiu sat on the opposite side with the Nekoshou Sisters.
As they waited for breakfast, Xu Jiujiu noticed the absence of Shrek Academy's people. "I thought you would go with Shrek Academy?" She asked in confusion.
"I did, but they are tired because of yesterday's event." Huo Yuhao replied with a chuckle. "They are currently recovering at the Dreamy Goose Hotel."
"I see..." As much as Xu Jiujiu wanted to know what happened, she decided not to pry further.
The breakfast arrived, and they enjoyed it while talking about mundane things. Sometimes, Xu Jiujiu would mention that she had prepared a secret weapon to surprise him in the tournament.
Huo Yuhao didn't think much of it. What kind of weapon could possibly surprise him? The Star Luo Empire is not that strong compared to the Dragon Nest.
Well, everyone has a great time. And that's all that matters.
Shortly after, some people from Xu Jiujiu's side arrived at the restaurant and approached her. A person whispered something to the princess and made her frown a little.
Xu Jiujiu wiped her mouth with a napkin and said sadly, "There was an inconvenience on my side. It's sad to part ways this fast, but thanks for the breakfast, Yuhao."
"By the way, I've paid the bills."
"If we crossed the road again later, I'd be the one who invites you next time." She added with a wink. After saying that, she left with her group.
Kuroka and Koneko said farewell to Huo Yuhao before following Xu Jiujiu out of the restaurant.
Watching them go away like that, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes, "What kind of inconvenience made her this hurry?"
"Why ask, we don't know?" Scathach didn't even bother and enjoyed her breakfast. "It's not like we are close to that flattery princess..."
"Yup." Qianye Ying'er agreed with Scathach.
"My bad for asking..." Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. "Anyway, I noticed Kunou isn't around Kuroka and Koneko. Where is that little fox?"
Qianye Ying'er tilted her head, "You don't know? Yae has taken Kunou as her disciple, so she stayed on the main base with her."
"What, That cunning fox took Kunou in? Isn't this just the same as tainting her innocence..." Huo Yuhao was speechless.
Scathach chuckled at his shocked expression, "Don't worry. That fox might be degenerate, but her skill is clear and suitable for a nine-tailed fox like Kunou."
Huo Yuhao sighed, "I hope so."
