Huo Yuhao: Picked up a copy of Peerless Tang Sect at the beginning

Chapter 212 Competition
As the game progressed, Huo Yuhao also saw some familiar faces in the game.

For example, Nan Qiuqiu from Dilongmen.

As one of the few sects on the continent that uses dragon as its martial spirit, the strength of Dilongmen is quite good.

What is particularly important is that Nan Qiuqiu’s martial soul is actually the extremely rare Rouge Dragon.

The greatest characteristic of this martial soul is that it has the attribute of annihilation, and is extremely good at long-range attacks.

Ordinary people are no match for her.

Fortunately, the two sects did not meet in the knockout rounds. Otherwise, if such a good sect was eliminated in the knockout rounds, wouldn’t there be no fun afterwards?
After the elimination round, the regular players of the Snow Demon Sect had already sat on the bench. They understood that their mission had been completed and the next game was no longer something they could handle.

After the round-robin tournament began, members of the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire, the host, also appeared in the audience seats.

"It's not surprising that Shrek Academy came here to participate, but I didn't expect that even the Body Sect would come here to participate in this competition. It seems that the attraction of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition is still very strong for these sects." Xu Tianran, who was sitting in the most attention seat, said as he looked at the crowd below that was like ants.

At this time, Xu Tianran is still the crown prince. Because the current situation in the Sun Moon Empire is different from that in the original story line, Xu Tianran did not confer the title of regent on himself.

Anyway, the old emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire was about to die, so Xu Tianran was not that anxious.

Of course, the most important thing is that he does not have many supporters in the army at this moment, so he dare not improve his status too much so as not to arouse the vigilance of other opponents.

After all, he doesn't want to get any closer to the Holy Spirit Church now.

In the past few years, because of Huo Yuhao's disruption, the situation Xu Tianran faced was several times worse than in the previous story line, and he completely lost the absolute confidence in being able to strategize.

Because of the tense situation with other domestic forces, Xu Tianran had to rely on the Holy Spirit Church if he wanted to secure his position, which led to subtle changes in the relationship between the two sides.

To be precise, after five years of recovery and expansion, the Holy Spirit Church was no longer satisfied with its current status. Perhaps Xu Tianran's humble attitude gave them an illusion, causing the already abnormal Holy Spirit Church to become even crazier.

And Xu Tianran noticed this keenly.

But for a proud man like Xu Tianran, he could be humble for a while, but he couldn't work like a slave for his whole life.

All he wants is to control and manipulate others.

Therefore, in recent times, Xu Tianran has been training his subordinates while easing relations with other domestic forces, changing his initial overbearing attitude.

He did this for only one purpose - to escape the control of the Holy Spirit Church as much as possible.

However, although Xu Tianran has tried his best to do this, because Xu Tianran's bad character was exposed in front of everyone before, everyone knows what kind of person he is, so not many people accept Xu Tianran's kindness.

Although Xu Tianran used terrifying means to intimidate all the other princes, he managed to secure his position as the crown prince.

However, as a series of events in the country changed, opponents continued to emerge like mushrooms after rain.

Among them, those royal relatives were the most opposed to Xu Tianran.

A few years ago, a part of the royal family suddenly united and used their influence to take control of several armies on the border.

This made Xu Tianran very wary of these people.

Fortunately, Xu Tianran didn't know about He Caitou's existence. Otherwise, Xu Tianran would not be on guard now, but would kill these people at all costs.

Yes, the person supported by this group of royal relatives who seem to have no leader is none other than He Caitou who has never appeared.

Back then, Xu Tianran's father had seized the throne in a clean and efficient manner. Although the other party had gone too far, given that this had already become a fact and that the other party was the only legitimate descendant, in the end, these powerful royal relatives had no choice but to accept the fact and were forced to acknowledge the other party's throne.

But it was not until Xu Tianran appeared that the royal relatives realized that compared to Xu Tianran's father, Xu Tianran was a complete lunatic!

He acted so recklessly and even united with the Holy Spirit Church. This was not what an emperor should do.

Moreover, the most crucial thing is that compared to Xu Tianran, who is domineering and well versed in politics, He Caitou, who is living outside, does not know anything about political affairs.

This may be a bad thing for the Sun-Moon Empire, but it is a great thing for people like them!

It’s best not to like power, and it’s even better to hate politics.

As long as you don't like politics, we can steal the emperor's power from you bit by bit.

The non-cooperation of the royal family members and the ambivalent attitude of other domestic forces made Xu Tianran even more suspicious. He had to strengthen his own strength to prevent being overthrown by others.

"What do you think if we leave the people from the Body Sect here?" Xu Tianran suddenly asked.

This sentence instantly frightened the court ministers who were following him.

“Your Highness, don’t be impulsive. In order to recruit Huo Yuhao as his disciple, Du Bu Si led thirteen Title Douluo to confront Shrek Academy. If we really leave these members of the Body Sect here, I’m afraid it will lead to a war with the Body Sect.”

"Hmph, you are so timid! This is just the foolish opinion of a corrupt person. Your Highness the Crown Prince can do whatever you want. If the Body Sect comes, we, the Holy Spirit Sect, will stop them." At this moment, a silent man in black robe who was standing behind Xu Tianran suddenly said.

"I didn't expect that the Imperial Master would be so serious about state affairs. However, this matter is of no trivial importance, and we still need to continue discussing it before we can make a decision." When Xu Tianran heard what the man in black said, although a smile appeared on his face, a sneer arose in his heart.

This person is the leader of the Holy Spirit Church and the son of Ye Xishui, the supreme elder of the Holy Spirit Church.

As the leader of the Holy Spirit Church, his power in the church is not as great as imagined.

The position of the national teacher is a deal between the Holy Spirit Church and Xu Tianran.

With the position of national master, they can legitimately participate in the affairs of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Xu Tianran and Sheng Ling will cooperate, and both sides are courting disaster.

If they are not strong enough, they can still unite to resist difficulties. If a war really develops, I am afraid that both sides will split up at the first moment.

Especially now that Xu Tianran is not as strong as the Holy Spirit Church, there is no telling what Xu Tianran will do in order to keep his position.

"I heard that Orange was taken away by him."

"To be precise, he was captured by the leader of the Body Sect, Du Bu Si."

“And according to what we have learned, Orange is no longer in the Body Sect. He completely disappeared after he and Huo Yuhao went to the Soul Beast Forest. We still haven’t found Orange’s whereabouts.”

"No matter what, we must find out where Orange is. Besides that, the other members must not give up either."

"By the way, I heard that one of the people who was captured by Du Bu Si this time was from our Sun Moon Empire. Now he has completely surrendered to the Body Sect, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness, it is the talented soul master named Ji Juechen." The minister said, pointing to a silent figure holding a sword and practicing under the arena.

"Since he no longer intends to be a member of the Sun-Moon Empire, then let him never be a human being again. Find an opportunity to kill him."

Ji Juechen didn't know at this time that he had gotten into big trouble because of Xu Tianran's anger.

It was just that he didn't know when this trouble would come. As for the Earth Dragon Gate, Huo Yuhao didn't need to take action at all.

After all, apart from Huo Yuhao, any other person could accomplish the feat of defeating seven enemies alone.

Therefore, this match was directly fought by Long Aotian.

As a seven-ring soul saint, Long Aotian truly showed the world what the original martial soul is.

From head to toe, Long Aotian only used one soul skill in the battle with Dilongmen, and no one could dodge this soul skill in every match.

You know the weakness of this soul skill and you know how to dodge it, but it is so powerful that you cannot dodge it.

This is Long Aotian, a man who, although his name sounds very domineering, is extremely diligent and serious in his practice.

Perhaps he still remembered that there seemed to be an opportunity with Dilongmen, so after the game, he planned to negotiate with the people from Dilongmen to see if they could reach a cooperation or something.

But at this time, Huo Yuhao had to leave here temporarily and found another person who was paying attention to Habit coming out at this moment.

"Who are you? Why are you at my doorstep?" Huo Yuhao was wearing a black robe and a mask, standing in a dark alley.

At this time, a young girl, holding a double blade, walked towards the distance.

Seeing where Huo Yuhao was, the girl looked alert and raised her hands in a fighting stance.

“Don’t be nervous. Although you don’t know me, I know you very well, Miss Nana, or Ghost Ms. Nana.” Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

It turns out that this person is the ghost Nana who was loyal to Huo Yuhao in the original story line because Huo Yuhao helped her.

This man's family was very miserable. His mother was a soul master who was controlled by the cooperative soul master. It was because of this that his parents died because of the cooperative soul master.

As a result, the unrest a few years ago allowed him to indirectly avenge himself. That was because of his ghost martial spirit, and therefore he had been targeted by the people of the Holy Spirit Church in the Sun-Moon Empire.

If he were not still studying in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy at this moment, those Holy Spirit Generals might have captured him without mercy and transformed him into a person like his mother.

Therefore, Ghost Nana is very vigilant about many things. After all, he has suffered almost dozens of assassination attempts in the past few years.

“Ghost Nana has a lot of people, so why do you have to pretend?” After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Liu Dada still did not let down his guard.

Seeing Nana like this, Huo Yuhao walked towards her slowly.

"If I want to attack you, you can't even lift these two swords at the moment." I said slowly while standing within the opponent's attack range.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's posture, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Ghost Nana's eyes. Without saying a word, she activated her power and transformed herself into a black ghost. She swung her two sharp swords towards Huo Yuhao, crossing them to create a cross-shaped sword light.

When facing such an attack, Huo Yuhao just raised his hand lightly and an ice wall suddenly condensed in front of him. The sword light couldn't even cut through the ice wall.

Seeing how powerful Huo Yuhao was, Ghost Nana turned around and was about to escape, but the moment he turned around, he found that his feet could not move. He looked down and found that a cold icy air was spreading from the ground, completely freezing his feet there and making him unable to move.

“I told you that if I want to keep you, you can’t escape at all.” Huo Yuhao walked to the other party leisurely.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"I don't mean anything else, I just want to be friends with you."

"Friends? I don't want to be friends with a man who doesn't even dare to show his face."

“You’re overthinking it. What I mean by maintenance is just maintenance. After all, I don’t even look down on a girl like you with such good looks.” Huo Yuhao said loudly.

Hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Nana instantly became even angrier.

What kind of words is this person saying? This guy actually looks down on me.

“Okay, enough of the small talk. I only have one purpose for calling you here. I want you to find out something for me while we are in the Sun Moon Empire.” Huo Yuhao put away the brush knife and said

Nana felt distressed when she saw the other party put away his weapon. After all, he had very little money since his parents left, and he had bought this soul guide at a low price from school.

"If I tell you something, it's not in vain. If you want me to work without paying anything, I tell you, I would rather die than do it."

Before Ghost Nana could finish her words, Huo Yuhao immediately gave her a card.

"I don't know how much money is in there, but at least there are 100,000 gold soul coins. How about that? Is it enough?"

“Do you really just want to find out something, and are not planning to buy me?” Hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Ghost Nana looked at the card in her hand with some disbelief.

One hundred thousand soul coins is not a small amount for any soul master.

By then, buying two good soul guides will not be a problem.

"How much does it cost to buy you? What's the price?" Yes, after hearing what Liu Dada said, Huo Yuhao asked jokingly.

"Get lost. I won't sell it. My hometown won't let people like you take advantage of it." Youlie said fiercely.

She was nothing like the cute and serious person Huo Yuhao had imagined her to be.

That's true. After all, it's normal for a girl to be a little aggressive when living alone in such a big country.

The reason why Huo Yuhao was given a quiet and respectful feeling in the original story was more because of the status of both parties.

Rather than the other person's true feelings.

"I asked you to help me find out where the competition currently being held on the black market is being held and how to get in.

In addition, I also hope that you can help me collect all kinds of rare metals scattered on the black stone in the Sun Moon Empire. I will buy as many as you can."

After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Ghost Nana first breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was not a difficult thing to find out those things. However, after hearing Huo Yuhao's second sentence, Ghost Nana became a little alert.

"What do you want to do? You are definitely not from the Sun Moon Empire. I can't say the first thing, but I can't do the second thing for you."

“What’s wrong with me? Are you still a patriot?” Huo Yuhao chuckled and continued, “Have you forgotten your own experience? If I remember correctly, your parents were persecuted to death by the Holy Spirit Church, but now the Holy Spirit will still stand with the royal family. You pledged allegiance to them, but they mocked you as a fool.

What were you thinking? You're still going to serve this country under these circumstances?"

"How do you know about my parents?" Nana looked at him warily.
“Not only do I know about your parents, I also know about you.

How about it? As long as you agree to my conditions, you can now get these 100,000 gold coins. I can also do you a favor and solve a problem for you. "

"My problem now is that no one kills people for me. Do you dare to kill people for me here?" Nana said.

“What’s there to be afraid of when it comes to killing people? Well, let’s put it this way. In that case, let’s make a deal. One hundred thousand gold soul coins for one life, and you will serve me from now on.” Huo Yuhao said with a slight smile.
