Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 303 "Su Nuo, will you win?"

Xingluo City, the epicenter of all the storms, is currently in a state of calm before the storm arrives.

Neither the bloody battle unfolding in Tianxing Port nor the colossal dragon of the Tianhun Empire, which attracts countless people's attention, has had any impact here.

The most prosperous city in the Star Luo Empire was still immersed in the exciting atmosphere of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament. A large number of merchants brought goods from all over the Douluo Continent to this city, making it a trading capital for a time.

Huo Yuhao was sitting in a coffee shop with his legs crossed, stirring his brown coffee with a spoon while browsing the magic network.

Coffee was originally a niche hobby in the Douluo Continent, but thanks to enthusiastic and vigorous promotion, it has been accepted by many people, and various coffee shops have appeared in various cities.

However, those who come to coffee shops are usually businessmen, scholars, or nobles; Soul Masters or mercenaries don't like this bitter drink.

They prefer the hard liquor and boasting at the bar.

Soon, a figure appeared in front of Huo Yuhao. The person pulled out a chair, adjusted the hem of their white dress, and sat down, saying:
"Boss? What's up?"

Huo Yuhao shut down the magic network, smiled, and looked at Gu Yuena, saying:
"Long time no see, Na'er."

"Didn't you apply to become the head of the future Spirit Pagoda of the Heavenly Soul Empire a while ago?"

"I've approved it. We can start construction once the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is over."

"The Tiandou Plain and Dragon City are alright, but the central part of the Tianhun Empire is no easy place to work."

"If you're willing, I can transfer you to the Star Luo Empire as a branch tower master."

Gu Yuena's purple eyes gleamed with joy as she spoke earnestly:

"thank you boss!"

"I think I'll stay in the Heavenly Soul Empire. The enthusiastic members of Shrek City are too lax, and I'm not comfortable with them."

"I haven't become the city lord of Shrek City yet, and I don't want to leave. Leave the affairs of the central region of the Heavenly Soul Empire to me! I can handle it!"

Upon hearing Gu Yuena's words, Huo Yuhao's brow twitched. Looking at her serious expression, he was certain she wasn't joking.

He was just saying it casually at the time, but he didn't expect the dragon to take it seriously and really want to become the lord of Shrek City.
But since she had said that, what could Huo Yuhao say? He would just let her be. With her around, the Heavenly Soul Empire wouldn't run into any trouble.

He is, after all, a god-level expert. As long as he is not infected by the Xuanzi virus, he is still absolutely reliable.

"By the way, you should have seen the intelligence report, right? Soon, Xingluo City will become a place where heroes from all sides compete for supremacy."

"Do you want to stay here, or take the children from the Xilu City Research Institute and leave first?"

Gu Yuena lowered her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Let's stay here."

"The competition isn't over yet, and the students haven't had enough fun. Don't worry, boss, I'll protect them."

Gu Yuena was mainly worried about Di Tian and his group, as they were allies of the Star Luo Empire and would inevitably clash with the Sea God family.

The Sea God family, after all, has the name "Sea God" in their name and is connected to the gods in the divine realm. Who knows if they have any hidden trump cards, such as the ability to descend from the heavens?
Di Tian is very strong, but it is still a bit difficult for him to deal with the Sea God. As the master of the soul beasts, he is already very unqualified and cannot sit idly by and watch Di Tian and the others get into trouble.

She was confident that if she stayed here, she could directly suppress the Sea God family should they display power beyond the plane of existence.

Anyway, the Sea God is only a first-level god. Even though she is seriously injured, she still has no problem fighting a first-level god.

Even if she couldn't win, she could easily make a run for it with her boss and the others.

This is the confidence that comes from the Silver Dragon King. Back then, she successfully escaped from the hands of Asura, evil, and good, and even her own brother, the Golden Dragon King, couldn't escape.

Although now I think they probably went easy on me and didn't care much about me, it must have been partly due to my superior spatial manipulation skills!
Huo Yuhao glanced at the time and said:
"The competition is about to start, do you want to come along?"

"I remember this match was Shrek Academy versus Imperial Academy, and this match might be the last one."

"Who knows if the finals will even be held?"

Gu Yuena nodded obediently. She was naturally willing to act with Huo Yuhao. In her opinion, Huo Yuhao was a person of great wisdom, at least much smarter than her.

Being with Huo Yuhao meant she didn't need to use her brain at all; she just had to follow orders. It was incredibly easy, and she loved that feeling—it was like having an external brain.

If she were to come, she wouldn't be able to build a super organization like Passion. On the surface, Passion is known among the mainland forces for its high-end soul tools, but in terms of soul master combat power, it can only be considered a first-rate force.

Because of its proximity to Shrek Academy, few forces dared to take action against it; they could only engage in minor skirmishes.

Gu Yuena and other high-ranking officials were well aware of just how strong their passion was and how deep their foundation was.

With two great treasure troves in hand, they have no shortage of rare and precious materials. They even have people in the upper echelons of the Sun Moon Empire. It's really hard to say whether the true lineage of Mingde Hall is currently at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy or in Xilu City.

The number of top-tier powerhouses is by no means limited to just one Super Douluo. Not to mention herself, Adam's strength is a mystery.

Gu Yuena couldn't see through Adam's exact level of cultivation, but she was certain that anyone below the Super Douluo level was no different from a chick in his presence.

According to Di Tian and Wan Yao Wang, the Water Dragon King is likely the boss's soul, and his strength is beyond question.

Passionate members can be seen almost everywhere across the continent, and many Holy Spirit Cult strongholds have been taken over by them.

Not only do they receive resources from the Holy Spirit Cult, but they also receive enthusiastic assistance. The Holy Spirit Cult sends disciples to gain experience, and they can secretly take advantage of these resources—killing two birds with one stone.

Gu Yuena followed closely behind Huo Yuhao with small, quick steps, feeling a strong sense of security just by looking at his back.

Anyway, if anything happens, someone will figure something out; she's only responsible for providing the force.

She prefers to use super power directly rather than super intelligence.

What kind of intelligence could that Dragon God possibly have? Gu Yuena's romanticized view of the Dragon God had long since crumbled.

She already knew the truth about the Dragon God War: a group of haphazard people made the most rash decisions, leading to the tragedy of later generations.

It's probably the Dragon God's fault that I'm not thinking straight!

The Dragon God is so wicked! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

…………

Xingluo Square was now bustling with noise, as everyone shouted the names of the four finalist teams.

However, the main focus was on cheering for the Shrek team, given their impressive performance this year.

Although the main team did not have any players who surpassed the Soul Master level, their combat strength was even stronger than that of the Soul King, and their various outrageous methods dazzled everyone.

The battle between Shrek Academy and Zhengtian Academy clearly showed everyone the full strength of the main team, a terrifying power that could even turn the arena into a deep crater.

In previous competitions, we only saw the appearance of spatial attributes at most. This year, there is a surge of ultimate martial souls, with heaven-defying powers such as the power of time and the power of death appearing one after another.

The first match today is Shrek Academy versus Dio Academy.

Neither the on-site competition nor the black market had high hopes for Di'ao Academy.

Di'ao Academy is the royal soul master academy of the Heavenly Soul Empire. It is very strong, but it is far inferior to the Shrek Academy's regular team.

"Teacher Xia, Teacher Aglaia, Teacher Wang Yan." "We'll go on stage first."

Bai E waved to the main team and Na Ke Xia and others, preparing to step onto the competition stage.

Xia sighed and said:
"How long do I have to keep reminding you before you call me Teacher Anaxagoras?"

Aglaia chuckled softly from the side:

"I think the title 'Teacher Xia' is quite good."

"After all, your real name is so hard to pronounce, why don't you change it? I can change your name for you myself."

At that moment, Xia snorted and said:
"Ms. Kanori, I didn't expect you to start attacking others by their names. This doesn't quite fit your romantic ideals, does it?"

Aglaia's light blue and yellow eyes gazed quietly at that moment, a hint of pleasure in them.

Why doesn't it fit?

"Correcting things that are not beautiful is also a form of romance."

"But you, Teacher Xia, are so easily agitated, which is not in line with the way of rationality."

Seeing that Xia and Aglaia were arguing again, Bai E and the others hurriedly went up to the competition stage, leaving the reserve team and Wang Yan to watch over them and prevent them from fighting.

The rules for the semifinals and knockout stage are similar, consisting of team battles and individual battles. However, both teams must win both matches to advance. If a team wins one match and loses the other, the winner will be determined by a 2-2-3 strategy.

After Bai E and the others arrived at the arena, the opposing Imperial Academy also stepped onto the arena.

The team leader was not Jiang Peng, the captain of Di'ao Academy, but an old acquaintance of Bai'e—Su Nuo.

Bai E and the others' eyes narrowed; except for Wang Dong, they all recognized the person opposite them.

"I didn't expect him to be here."

Medemos snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and said:

"It's been a long time since I've seen this guy."

"He left the orphanage after his martial spirit awakened."

"I didn't expect to see him here today. I haven't seen him play in previous matches."

"I'll give him a good beating. I haven't settled the score with him for bullying Xiaoqing back then."

Bai E and the others didn't like Su Nuo. He liked to bully other children in the orphanage and also liked to reopen old wounds.

He always acts nonchalantly and arrogantly, doing whatever he pleases, even killing a small animal out of curiosity.

Feng Jin disliked him because she had witnessed Su Nuo abusing a bird with a broken wing, constantly trying to throw the bird into the sky while chanting, "Fly!"

Fortunately, Feng Jin was eventually rescued by Dr. Roman.

Su Nuo also saw Bai E, and said with an excited expression:

"Ha ha!"

"It's been a long time, Bai'er."

"I want to cut you into pieces all the time."

Bai E's expression was serious as he said in a low voice:
"Sukuna..."

"I never expected to run into you here."

Su Nu grinned, his brown eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light; he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

"Bai'er, fighting for two days is really too boring."

"This competition system is cumbersome and meaningless."

"Being watched like a monkey is so disgusting that it makes me nauseous."

"When the match starts later, I'll have everyone from Di'ao Academy leave the field, and you should have everyone from Shrek Academy leave the field too."

"Let's have a one-on-one fight. Whoever loses will be the one to concede defeat in tomorrow's individual match, how about that?"

Medemos, Tibo, and the others looked at Bai Er, waiting for his decision. Whatever Bai Er chose, they would support him.

Bai E glanced at his trusted companions around him, and thinking of Su Nuo's cruel nature, he said seriously:

"it is good!"

"I accept the offer."

Su Nuo's smile grew even brighter, yet it gave off an eerie sense of dread as he spoke:
"That's good, but be careful I don't cut you into pieces."

Su Nuo's teammates from Di'ao Academy were somewhat afraid of him. They knew his cruel nature and just how much support the Body Sect had for him.

As the team leader, Jiang Peng sighed and looked at Su Nuo, saying:

"Will we win, Sukuna?"

"If it doesn't work out, let's just play the game normally."

Su Nuo glanced at him and said:

"It will win."

"Stop arguing, you can go down by yourselves in a bit."

On the competition stage, Huo Yuhao was also watching Su Nuo, while Roman beside him said:

"Others may not hear it, but you, boss, should have heard it, right?"

"Can Bai E win? Will there be any danger?"

Huo Yuhao shrugged and said:

"What are you afraid of?"

"The cheat code on Bai E was given to me personally. Both the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life left hidden tricks in his body."

"There is also an ultimate artifact in his spiritual sea."

"Su Nuo, to be honest, apart from the martial soul that I gave you, everything else is basically from the Body Sect's system."

"There shouldn't be any major problems with Medmos."
