"Am I late?"
Huo Yuhao's voice immediately caught everyone's attention.
"Hao'er!"
"Yuhao."
"Yuhao-sama."
"My Lord."
"Father."
"Dragon God."
All kinds of greetings were 'simultaneously' used, which left Huo Yuhao speechless inside because it was too much.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"For now, just call me Dragon God or Yuhao in public." Huo Yuhao replied while entering the hall.
"Eh, I can't do that, Yuhao-sama." Grayfia quickly rejected the suggestion.
As a straight-laced maid and assistant of Huo Yuhao, she couldn't bear to call him in such a casual manner publicly. Of course, if it's just between them, she wouldn't hesitate.
Meanwhile, Azazel raised his hand and said, "Yo, Yuhao~!"
Grayfia turned around and sent a death glare to the fallen angel, but the latter was too drunk to care. Azazel dodged the gaze and downed more beer.
Gabriel tilted her head, thinking about what she should call Huo Yuhao from now on.
Father Dragon God?
Father Yuhao?
The latter sounds better.
"Father Yuhao!" Gabriel excitedly waved at him.
Huo Yuhao sighed and accepted his fate, approaching the guests from the Draconic Deus World.
"How is everyone?" He smiled at them.
"I hope my world doesn't disappoint you guys."
"Not at all, nyaa!" Kuroka bounced on the couch nearby. She put on a cat-like expression and continued, "We have explored the area around the continent and discovered many new things."
"Hehe, some spirit beasts under Dragon Nest's jurisdiction think Yokai are part of them."
"That's right, nyaa~! I made friends with some cats and birds in the east forest." Koneko added afterward.
"Oh?" Huo Yuhao was 'actually' amused by this fun fact. No, if he thought about it, this does make sense.
Youkai focused on condensing their life force and inherently training senjutsu, similar to Spirit Beast's cultivation.
Not to mention, they must reach a specific concentration of life energy and senjutsu mastery before transforming into their humanoid form.
Well, all spirit beasts need to do is reach 100,000 years of cultivation, and they could transform into a human to embark on another cultivation path(spirit master).
There are a few exceptions, like Huang Qiu'er, who would soon obtain humanoid form despite not even 20,000 years of cultivation.
'Maybe it has something to do with developing wisdom earlier.' Huo Yuhao thought to himself.
Kunou let out a big smile when Huo Yuhao appeared, "Big Brother, I miss you~!"
"I miss you too." Huo Yuhao gave her cheek a gentle pinch. "You've been behaving well, right, Kunou?"
"Mm!" Kunou nodded vigorously.
After entertaining the cute fox girl, Huo Yuhao glanced around and saw the ladies chatting about their recent journey.
He also spotted Ophis and Tiamat eating at a table. The two 'gluttonous' dragons are stuffing their mouths with barbecued meat.
"Food?" Ophis offered a piece.
"Hubby, you finally came!" Tiamat swung a bone stick.
"Sure, I'll take that." Huo Yuhao picked up the meat and calmly ate it.
"As for you, Tiamat. Can you call me other things besides hubby or husband?"
"Dear, then." Tiamat flashed a smile at him.
Meanwhile, Ophis nodded in satisfaction because Huo Yuhao enjoyed meat like her. Usually, she wouldn't share her food with others, but Huo Yuhao is special.
Ophis learned from the Red-haired Demon(Scathach) that a 'special' person deserves special treatment.
Huo Yuhao stared at the people he brought from the Draconic Deus World and smiled, raising a cup of wine.
"Well, toast everyone!" He said.
"Toast!"
As everyone enjoyed their food and talked about their adventures, Huo Yuhao noticed the weird people of the bunch.
Griselda Quarta faced Huo Yuhao with flushed cheeks. She has too much alcohol for someone from the Vatican.
"Do you need something, Griselda?" Huo Yuhao asked the beautiful battle nun.
"I-I... Fish yyu bhecame god earlier." Griselda said drunkenly.
"Mother!" Xenovia supported Griselda and lowered her head to Huo Yuhao. "S-Sorry, Yuhao-sama."
Huo Yuhao laughed, "Haha, "It's okay."
"Bring her to the side and give her some water."
After bowing three times, Xenovia brought Griselda away, and Asia helped her with the drunk nun.
'I wish you became god earlier, huh?' Huo Yuhao thought about Griselda's drunk speech. It's not like he doesn't want to, but an emergency appeared one after another.
"Dragon God, can we talk?" Vali walked to Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao glanced around and responded, "Sure."
"What do you have in mind? Well, I hope the fighters in the Dragon Nest didn't bore you out."
"..." Vali Lucifer sighed. Hearing Huo Yuhao mention Dragon Nest's fighter makes him remember how horribly he was defeated a few hours ago.
Ikuse and Sairaorg chuckled with funny expressions on the side, irritating the White Dragon Emperor even more.
Vali Lucifer crossed his arms and asked, "I heard there is this event called Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament. Do you have a way for us to enter?"
Huo Yuhao tilted his head, "It's a simple matter, but why?"
"With your current power, participating in the Continental Advanced Academy Soul Dueling Tournament is a waste."
"Those brats' power levels aren't on par with you guys."
"Really?" Vali frowned slightly.
Did Azazel trick them?
That fallen angel is such a troll.
"Unfortunately, Yes. I doubt you could even find a Spirit Douluo Realm opponent in the tournament." Huo Yuhao responded casually.
"Fuck." Vali cursed with an annoyed expression.
"Language, Vali-san." Le Fay commented giddily.
Huo Yuhao rubbed his chin, "Actually, there is a way to make things more challenging."
A grin appeared on his handsome face as he continued, "If you want to enter the tournament, your cultivation must get suppressed at Soul King Realm. On top of that, you are 'strictly' prohibited from using any power from the Draconic Deus."
"T-That doesn't sound bad, to be honest," Sairaorg said while nudging Vali's shoulder. "With this, we could temper our body and spirit."
"Agree, we also could familiarize ourselves with Martial Soul and Spirit Skills." Arthur fixed his glasses.
Ikuse Tobio has a complicated expression, "I don't know, but doesn't that mean I can't summon Jin(His Sacred Gear's avatar)?"
"About your avatar and Albion, I actually have an offer." Huo Yuhao put on a playful look.
"An offer?" Vali and Tobio looked at each other.
Huo Yuhao brought them into his spiritual world, shocking the two youths to their cores.
"Where are we?" Ikuse Tobio looked around.
"Separate dimension?" Vali Lucifer observed the space around with great interest.
Huo Yuhao coughed, "Ehem, you two are in my head currently."
"It's called Mind Space, or Spiritual World."
"You can also cultivate with sufficient understanding and accumulation as it was one of the criteria to become a God."
"Wow..." Tobio was surprised.
"Is it the Spiritual Core that Scathach once mentioned?" Vali asked with an uncertain look.
Huo Yuhao was amused, "She taught you about the Spirit Core? Hmm, that's faster than I thought."
"Yes, you're correct."
"This is one of my Spirit Core, but I used different methods when cultivating to this level."
"Anyway, we are here not just to talk." Huo Yuhao snapped his finger, and a massive white dragon appeared behind Vali.
"You dragged my soul here..." Albion opened his mouth in disbelief. "Hah, Dragon God Yuhao, you're amazing."
"Jin!"
Woof!
A black-furred puppy with red eyes appeared beside Ikuse Tobio, rubbing its head against the young man's leg.
"Eluxia." Huo Yuhao called one of his teachers.
"You called me?" Eluxia appeared out of thin air. She has this intrigued expression as if something interesting would happen soon.
'So strong...' The four beings from the Draconic Deus thought when sensing Eluxia's spiritual presence.
"Yes, I want you to help with something. It is another experiment of mine." Huo Yuhao answered nonchalantly.
Experiment?
"W-wait, wait, you never said it's an experiment." Ikuse Tobio couldn't believe his ears for a moment.
"Don't worry. Your safety is guaranteed." Huo Yuhao gave him a thumbs up.
'Bruh, I'm more nervous now.' Ikuse Tobio was speechless.
Meanwhile, Vali is more than interested in this so-called experiment.
Huo Yuhao lifted his index finger and said seriously, "By the way..."
"Do you know that Sacred Gear could also become Martial Soul?"
"Uh, oh... I don't like where this is going." Ikuse hugged his red-eyed puppy.
