Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 70 Of course it's me
Elder Xuan stopped laughing and glanced at the remaining eight people in the room.

His expression turned serious, and he announced in a deep voice.

"Alright! Now that the result is decided, I hereby officially announce that the eight of you are, from this moment forward, reserve team members of the Shrek Academy team for this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament!"

Although it was expected, everyone couldn't help but show excitement and joy when they heard Elder Xuan's announcement.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament is the ultimate stage that all young soul masters aspire to!
Being able to represent Shrek Academy in battle is an unparalleled honor!

"Everyone, be quiet."

Elder Xuan waved his hand, signaling to the excited crowd.

"This matter is a secret of the academy. Before the official competition begins, no one is allowed to divulge a single word of it, not even your families! Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The eight people responded in unison, their expressions solemn.

Elder Xuan nodded and continued, "In preparation for the competition, starting next week, you must all set aside one day each week for special training with me. The location and time will be notified separately, so make sure you have the time available and don't be late!"

"Yes, Mr. Xuan!"

After giving these instructions, Elder Xuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone, go back and digest what you've learned today."

After bowing to Elder Xuan, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others left the assessment area in twos and threes, filled with excitement and anticipation.

Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, ​​and Wu Feng also prepared to leave.

"Huo Yuhao."

Elder Xuan suddenly called out to Huo Yuhao, who was about to turn around.

"You stay for a while."

Huo Yuhao paused, and Wang Dong'er and the others looked over in confusion.

Elder Xuan said to Wang Dong'er and the others, "You go back first. I have something to say to this boy alone."

Although Wang Dong'er was a little curious and worried, she obediently nodded and left with Xiao Xiao and the others.

Soon, only Elder Xuan and Huo Yuhao remained in the assessment area.

"Elder Xuan, is there anything else you need?"

Huo Yuhao asked respectfully.

Elder Xuan sized him up, a half-smile returning to his face. He took a swig of wine and said, "It's not that I have any instructions for you, but someone else wants to see you."

"Does anyone want to see me?"

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback. Anyone who could meet him under the arrangement of Elder Xuan must be of extraordinary status.

"Ah."

Elder Xuan nodded, his gaze fixed on the direction of Seagod Island, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere. Once we get there, you'll naturally know who I am."

With that, Elder Xuan turned around and swayed as he walked into the depths of Seagod Island.

With some guesses in his mind, Huo Yuhao silently followed behind Elder Xuan.

Elder Xuan led Huo Yuhao along the quiet paths of Seagod Island, eventually arriving at the Seagod Pavilion, the building that symbolized the highest power in Shrek Academy.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the golden ancient trees, casting a warm glow on the small building.

In front of the attic, the familiar recliner still stood there, with an old man lying quietly on it, seemingly blending into the surrounding tranquility.

"Elder Mu, the person has been brought."

Before the old man, Elder Xuan restrained all his casualness and spoke respectfully.

The old man on the recliner slowly opened his eyes.

Mu En nodded slightly to Elder Xuan: "Yes, thank you for your hard work, Xuanzi. You can go ahead and get back to work." Elder Xuan responded, glanced at Huo Yuhao with some curiosity, but still turned and left as instructed, leaving the old man and the young man alone.

Only Mu En and Huo Yuhao remained in front of the Sea God Pavilion.

A gentle breeze rustled through the golden leaves.

Looking at the composed and unassuming young man standing before him, Mu En smiled gently and said slowly, "Yuhao, aren't you surprised to see me?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao smiled, a smile that conveyed understanding and composure. He replied, "Elder Mu, to be honest, I can only say that... I had expected this."

"Hahahaha!"

Moon couldn't help but laugh.

"Well said, I expected this! Yuhao, you really surprise me time and time again."

After laughing, Mu En's gaze became deep, and he gestured for Huo Yuhao to sit down on the wooden stool next to him.

"Yuhao, do you remember our conversation when you first enrolled? You once said that Shrek Academy is now a towering tree with rotten roots."

Huo Yuhao nodded: "I remember."

Moon looked at him.

"So, what do you think we should do to save this tree now?"

Huo Yuhao hardly hesitated.

"It's very simple. Three steps: First, prune away all the rotten, hollowed-out, and withered branches and leaves, and clean up thoroughly. Second, correct any branches that are growing crookedly or in the wrong direction, or simply cut them off and let them grow again. Third..."

He paused.

"One more powerful being, capable of suppressing everything and leading the tree to grow towards the sun again, will be enough."

A glint of light flashed in Moon's eyes as he pressed, "Oh? For example? How exactly should it be done?"

Seeing that Elder Mu was genuinely asking for his opinion, Huo Yuhao loosened up a bit and spoke frankly: "For example, that teacher named Zhou Yi from the Foreign Languages ​​Department, her teaching methods are brutal and extreme, she suppresses students and arbitrarily expels them. This kind of educational philosophy is a cancer in itself. Her mistakes should be investigated and she should be severely punished. At the very least, she should be expelled from the teaching profession as a warning to others."

He glanced at Elder Mu's expression and, seeing that the other party showed no displeasure, added, "There's something else... I'm not sure if I should say it."

Moon raised his hand to indicate, "Speak freely."

Huo Yuhao rubbed his nose and said, "It's just that Elder Xuan... He's good at being a top-notch fighter to intimidate everyone. But if you want him to use his brain to manage things, or lead a team to carry out a delicate mission... well, let's forget about it."

Upon hearing this, Moon almost lost his composure and quickly covered it up with a cough, but his eyes and brows were filled with an irrepressible smile.

Upon closer reflection, he realized that although Huo Yuhao's words were blunt and impolite, they actually seemed to be the truth!
Mu En shook his head helplessly and said with a laugh, "You little rascal, you're talking about your elders behind their backs."

However, despite saying that, he deeply agreed with it.

"But then again, Xuanzi really is suited to be a henchman."

He seemed to remember something and sighed.

"But Shrek Academy these days... sigh."

Huo Yuhao listened to Elder Mu's words, which were filled with deep helplessness.

That's right, Shrek Academy can't do without Elder Xuan now. Apart from Moon, he's the strongest.

However, Moon cannot act rashly.

Moon refocused his gaze on Huo Yuhao, his eyes becoming extremely solemn: "Yuhao, regarding the three points you raised, especially the last one... a powerful figure capable of suppressing everything. Who do you think will be that powerful figure for Shrek Academy's future?"

His gaze was intense, as if it held a thousand unspoken words, as he quietly awaited Huo Yuhao's reply.

The air in front of the Sea God Pavilion seemed to become heavy at this moment.

Huo Yuhao grinned.

"Of course it is me!"
