Douluo: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 172 Moon: Branch campus? This is going to destroy Shrek's ten thousand year foundation!
Inside the Poseidon Pavilion, Xuan Zi straightened his back with an excited smile on his face as he had finally completed the task that Mu Lao had asked him to do to deliver the invitation letter to Riyue.

He quickly summoned a group of elders to start another round of Poseidon Pavilion meeting.

The elders saw Xuanzi's excited expression and were puzzled, wondering what made Xuanzi so happy.

Yan Shaozhe asked the reason: "Master Xuan, weren't you leading the team to participate in the competition? Now that you are back to school, what big thing have you encountered?"

To be honest, every time Xuan Zi came back to school from outside and held a meeting at the Sea God Pavilion, Yan Shaozhe felt a little panicked, fearing that Xuan Zi would cause trouble again and cause his prestige in the Martial Soul Department to drop again and again.

Xuan Zi is the person with the highest cultivation level after Master Mu, and he is also the pillar and backbone of the Wuhun Department. If he keeps getting into trouble when taking students out, who would dare to trust Master Xuan in the future?

Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Master Xuan, the intermediate soul guide shield I gave you for free last time, you probably haven't reached the point where you need to use it, right?"

If Xuan Zi had all his disciples outside use soul guide protective shields, then needless to say, they must have encountered some small accident again.

"Humph, of course not. I have led the Shrek Supervisory Group to complete countless missions, and the number of accidents that occurred can be counted on one hand."

Xuan Zi spoke with a humph, feeling somewhat unhappy, as he felt that Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo did not trust him enough.

"Okay, as long as there is no accident outside." Yan Shaozhe smiled and said that Master Xuan was still very reliable.

"Then this time's Poseidon Pavilion meeting..." Qian Duoduo was somewhat unexpectedly happy, "Is this purely a good thing?"

"That's natural."

Xuan Zi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, nodded slightly, and said in an air of being an expert:
"I called you all here this time to tell you a good news. Elder Mu said last time that he would send a letter to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to apply for academic exchange... I know Jing Hongchen is in Xingluo City, so I personally took him to hand him over."

"Just two hours ago, Jing Hongchen asked me to bring the reply letter and told me personally that we can cooperate."

As for what Jing Hongchen said about another form, or adding another campus, Xuanzi didn't care at all, and was too lazy to guess the deeper meaning.

After all, his unparalleled strength is there, and the academy is the home turf of the Sea God Pavilion, so why should he be afraid that the people of Sun and Moon will cause trouble in their Shrek Academy?

"Jing Hongchen said it was another form of cooperation. In my opinion, it was just because he couldn't save face."

"Just a trick." Xuan Zi waved his hand and laughed.

Yan Shaozhe agreed with a hearty smile: "It is understandable that Jing Hongchen is so concerned about his reputation. After all, being able to exchange and learn with the spirits of the continent's number one academy is worth it for them to raise their own value to gain greater benefits."

Qian Duoduo listened to what the two said, frowned slightly, and seemed to be thinking about something. This was not in line with the rigor of being a soul mentor.

If Jing Hongchen didn't know about Master Xuan's pursuit of the Five-Ring Evil Soul Master, he would subconsciously still think that Shrek Academy's ability to cultivate martial souls was the best in the world, and there would be nothing wrong with accepting their invitation.

But Jing Hongchen knew about this, so when he proposed another form, one would know there must be something fishy about it. It was just that Xuanzi subconsciously looked down on soul guide technology, so he thought everything was normal.

Qian Duoduo put away his joking thoughts and became serious.

"Master Xuan, if the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy doesn't make things difficult for us, this is actually against common sense."

He said that in everyone's impression, Sun Moon and Shrek have always been at odds with each other. If it seems that the cooperation between the two sides is going smoothly, then there must be a conspiracy.

Xuan Zi smiled confidently: "The strength of our Shrek martial spirit system is indisputable. Through exchanges and learning, we can help the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy strengthen their martial spirit field... This is the opportunity we give to Sun Moon."

He raised his hand and told Qian Duoduo not to worry too much.

"It is reasonable for Jing Hongchen to act in such an unnatural way."

The elders of the Wuhun Department quickly believed what Master Xuan said.

Qian Duoduo didn't say anything else. He didn't know Jing Hongchen, so he couldn't guess what the other person was thinking.

After all the elders were in place, Xuanzi looked at Elder Mu and said impatiently, "Elder Mu, quickly take a look at what Jing Hongchen wrote in his reply."

Mr. Mu was lying on the guard's recliner, and on the table was the invitation letter brought back by Xuanzi.

He listened to the discussion of the crowd. A few beams of light in the dim light shone on Mu Lao's face, but he remained calm.

Under the curious and eager gaze of the elders, Mr. Mu picked up the invitation letter on the table, slowly opened it, and took out the reply letter from Jing Hongchen.

However, when Mu Lao saw the content, his old pupils suddenly froze.

The first paragraph that catches the eye is Jing Hongchen's condolences out of humanitarian concern for the tragic situation in which "Xuan Zi led the team to eliminate the evil soul master, but was tragically killed by the explosion of the five-ring evil soul master, resulting in the death of three students in the battle."

But as everyone knows, Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy are hostile forces.

The condolences from opponents are irritating no matter how you look at them.

Mr. Mu held the reply letter tightly in his hand, his body was shaking, and he was so angry that he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart.

At the last Poseidon Pavilion meeting, Xuan Zi said that he had slapped the messenger of death into ashes. Moon thought that as long as Xing Luo didn't say anything, this matter would never be spread.

However, Jing Hongchen's reply clearly stated the number of students who died in the battle.

This shows that the other party already knows the details of the entire incident and can announce it to the entire mainland at any time.

The elders felt that there was something wrong with Mu's expression and that he had different thoughts in mind. They didn't know what was written in the reply letter that made Mu suddenly become so stern and terrifying.

"Xuan Zi." Old Mu restrained the aura emanating from his body, slowly raised his head, and called out without a trace of emotion.

"What, what's the matter, Mr. Mu, is there any problem with Jing Hongchen's reply?"

When Old Xuan met Old Mu's sharp gaze, he felt it was particularly irritating, and felt a chill in his heart, and his voice was trembling.

Mu Lao's face was filled with indescribable severity, and he asked in a low voice: "Xuan Zi, when you led the team to wipe out the Death Hand Bandit Group, that Five-ring Evil Soul Master escaped. After that, did you really chase him and kill him?"

"Mr. Mu, it's absolutely true!"

When Mr. Xuan heard that it was just an old story, he felt a little relieved. As long as it didn't affect Mr. Mu's exchange student plan, it would be fine.

"That damn messenger of death was slapped into ashes by me. There is no way he can survive!" Xuan Zi said loudly. In this matter, he could guarantee with one hundred percent that the messenger of death would die.

After killing the messenger of death, he also had a fight with the furious Jing Hongchen.

Now he still owed Jing Hongchen two thousand-year soul bones. Xuan Zi didn't decide to give it to him. After all, if Jing Hongchen hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have caught up with the messenger of death and crushed him to ashes.

Old Mu saw that Xuanzi's confident expression did not seem fake. He thought he knew this nephew quite well and could tell at a glance whether the other party was lying or not.

However, Mr. Mu was helpless as Xuanzi kept causing troubles while he kept forgiving him without any bottom line. He couldn't really turn him into a puppet with only the power to protect the school, as he would feel guilty about that.

Mu Lao's pupils moved slightly. Since Xuan Zi didn't lie, he guessed, "Did Sun and Moon have someone pretend to be the messenger of the God of Death and trick you into killing him?"

Xuan Zi was still confident: "No, my perception is very accurate. The person I killed had an extremely pure aura of an evil soul master, exactly the same as the messenger of death... Oh no, I killed the messenger of death!"

Seeing this, Moon shook his head helplessly, knowing that he would not get anything out of Xuanzi, and sighed.

Yan Shaozhe asked in astonishment: "Mr. Mu, what exactly is written in the letter?"

Qian Duoduo tentatively guessed: "Could it be that Jing Hongchen already knows the details of the sudden change that occurred during the extermination of the evil soul master?"

Mu Lao nodded slightly, his tone heavy: "Well, Jing Hongchen has written down how many of us died in the battle, so he must have known the true situation."

Xuan Zi's face changed drastically, and he shook his head hastily: "How is this possible?! The messenger of death died without leaving even ashes, how could they know?"

Could it be that Xu Jiawei failed to manage his subordinates well and the news was leaked?
Xuanzi's eyes were about to spit fire. I think Xu Jiawei doesn't want to live anymore!
"Xuan Zi, why are you so irritable?" Moon reprimanded him sternly, calming Xuan Zi down.

He shook his head: "The three major countries, including the Xingluo Empire, need the reputation of our Shrek Academy to intimidate the Sun-Moon Empire. If they don't want to be the kings of a fallen country, they will never betray us."

All the elders agreed with this view. Once the strength of their Shrek Academy was greatly weakened, the Sun-Moon Empire, which was eyeing them covetously, would definitely launch a continental war immediately.

At the same time, they also felt that Master Xuan seemed too unstable and would fly into a rage when encountering something unfavorable. He would have to take over Master Mu's job and lead the overall situation of Shrek in the future. This kind of temperament would definitely not do and he had to be taught a lesson by Master Mu.

Therefore, at this meeting of the Poseidon Pavilion, no one spoke up to excuse Xuanzi.

After all, compared to the fact that the disciples died in battle, the disclosure of the news was not a big deal. It did not cause any trauma to Shrek itself, but it did affect the reputation of Shrek Academy on the mainland.

No matter how invincible their Shrek Academy is in the hearts of the people, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, let alone encountering the evil skill of "corpse explosion" that has never been seen in ten thousand years.

As long as we do a good job of stirring up public sentiment, everyone will gradually understand how difficult it is for Shrek.

Moon narrowed his eyes and thought carefully, then slowly said, "Since Jing Hongchen already knew the truth, he didn't spread it immediately, but wrote it in a letter to let us know that he knew it."

"This shows that Jing Hongchen wants to use this incident to achieve greater value than destroying the reputation of our Shrek Academy."

Mr. Mu knew very well that as a leader, it was not enough to just think about influencing the reputation of Shrek Academy. He must always have the ability to strike the opponent itself.

Yan Shaozhe nodded, thinking that Jing Hongchen must have other intentions in writing the letter.

"Mr. Mu, what did Jing Hongchen say in the letter about exchange students studying together?"

Qian Duoduo also asked anxiously: "Yes, Mr. Mu, the most important thing for us now is to exchange and learn in the field of soul guidance with the Sun and Moon Soul Guidance Academy."

He wanted so badly to make progress in the field of soul guides.

Mr. Mu continued to read the contents of the letter, with a gleam in his eyes.

At the beginning, they seemed very friendly. Jing Hongchen proposed the "Experimental Subject No. 1 Plan" and invited Shrek Academy to join.

They also took the initiative to provide technology and scientific researchers to help their Shrek Academy's eighth-level soul instructors learn the technology of humanoid soul guides.

But the more he looked back, the more Mu Lao's brows furrowed.

He responded to Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo: "Jing Hongchen proposed a plan and actively invited us to participate. He is willing to work with us to study the ninth-level humanoid soul guide device."

"Level Nine Humanoid Soul Guidance Device?!"

Qian Duoduo's eyes widened, and he was immediately overjoyed by the news. "Great! This is really great news for our soul guide technology!"

"The soul guidance field of our Shrek Academy has always remained at the eighth-level soul guidance device, and there has not been a single breakthrough in many years... Based on the current research situation, the ninth-level soul guidance device is still a long way away from us."

Qian Duoduo was extremely excited, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.

Is Jing Hongchen, the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, such a good guy?

He was actually willing to jointly research humanoid soul guides with their Shrek Academy.

You should know that the scientific research difficulty of each part of the humanoid soul guide is far beyond that of the eighth-level soul guide.

As long as they can master the production of a ninth-level humanoid soul guide component, their abilities in soul guides will be comprehensively enhanced.

Perhaps within a few years, their Shrek Academy would be able to train a ninth-level soul mentor.

How could Riyue do such a thing that would harm himself and benefit others?
Qian Duoduo was very clear about this, so after being excited, he quickly calmed down.

"Mr. Mu, what is the humanoid soul guide device that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy invited us to study together? Did they mention it in the letter?"

Mu Lao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Jing Hongchen described these in great detail."

"The level nine humanoid soul guide they are researching is called Experimental Subject No. 1. The plan they are going to implement is called Experimental Subject No. 1 Plan. They are willing to provide the technology and scientific research personnel."

The more Qian Duoduo listened, the more confused he became. Does Jing Hongchen really have such a good conscience?

Even the latest cutting-edge technology under research is exposed so unreservedly, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

"Mr. Mu, Jing Hongchen promised so many benefits...does he have any requirements?"

Qian Duoduo knew very well that Jing Hongchen would not help Shrek for no reason, and it was impossible for him to have such boundless love.

What's more, the two sides are hostile forces. They have laid out so many benefits in the past, definitely for the extremely harsh and unreasonable demands in the end.

Elder Mu looked at the envelope in his hand, his body exuding a faint pressure, and his tone became unusually gloomy:
"Jing Hongchen said in the envelope that if we want to follow and participate in their Experimental Topic No. 1 Plan and jointly research humanoid soul guides... the prerequisite is to establish a Sun and Moon branch campus in our Shrek Academy."

"What a Jing Hongchen! He wants to destroy Shrek's ten thousand year foundation!" Mu Lao's sinister laughter came.
