Jing Hongchen walked up to Huo Yuhao, looked him up and down, and then nodded with a smile.
"Not bad, not bad."
His tone carried a hint of approval.
"Xiao often mentions you in front of me, saying that you are a genius soul master."
"Having seen it today, I can confirm that its reputation is well-deserved."
Jing Hongchen paused for a moment, then extended his hand and introduced himself.
"I am Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, and also the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy."
"This person..."
He turned to the side and pointed to the old emperor behind him.
"It is His Majesty the Emperor of the current Moon Empire."
Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over the two of them, then he bowed slightly in greeting.
"Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao."
"I have met you both."
His tone was calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
However, a hint of wariness flashed deep in Huo Yuhao's eyes. These two people probably had a strained relationship with the Holy Spirit Cult.
Especially that old emperor... there was a sinister glint in his eyes, he looked like no good person.
The old emperor looked at Huo Yuhao and a smile appeared on his face.
The smile looked kind and gentle, but Huo Yuhao couldn't feel any warmth at all.
"As expected, heroes emerge from among the young."
The old emperor spoke, his voice hoarse and low.
"Huo Yuhao, I have a question I'd like to ask you."
Huo Yuhao looked at him calmly.
"Your Majesty, please speak."
The old emperor smiled, a glint of cunning flashing in his sinister eyes.
"What are your plans after you graduate from Shrek Academy?"
"I see that you get along well with Xiao and Meng."
"If you can't stay at Shrek Academy in the sky after graduation, how about... staying in the Sun and Moon Empire?"
"All the resources of the Sun and Moon Empire can be provided to you."
"Whether it's rare metal resources, elixirs, or blueprints for various soul tools, I can give you everything."
"The Sun and Moon Empire will never be stingy in nurturing a genius."
"At the same time..."
"After you graduate, you can directly obtain the hereditary dukedom of the Sun and Moon Empire."
Xiao Hongchen, standing to the side, was completely stunned. He had never expected that the old emperor would offer Huo Yuhao such generous terms upon their first meeting.
Even outstanding graduates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy don't receive this kind of treatment, yet the old emperor can make so many promises to Huo Yuhao; it's simply unbelievable.
It seems that the old emperor values Huo Yuhao even more than he thought.
Chapter 295 Without the academy, I wouldn't be who I am today.
Even after hearing the old emperor's many words of preferential treatment, Huo Yuhao's expression did not change at all, and there was no sign of being moved on his face.
Huo Yuhao bowed slightly and spoke in a humble yet assertive manner.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"However... after I graduate, I will still stay at Shrek Academy and contribute to Shrek Academy."
Upon hearing this reply, the old emperor's smile remained unchanged, and his eyes revealed no meaning. Nevertheless, he continued to speak slowly with a smile.
"You are grateful and repay kindness. You are a good child. I was right about you. Since that's the case, I won't force you. However... now that you are in the Sun Moon Empire, even if you don't join my Sun Moon Empire, you will still be provided with resources. Red Dust Hall Master, if Huo Yuhao wants anything, whatever it is, you can give it to him."
The old emperor had basically offered the best possible terms, all in an attempt to lure Huo Yuhao into the gentle embrace of the Sun Moon Empire.
Jing Hongchen nodded with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I understand."
Huo Yuhao watched this scene and knew very well that the old emperor was trying to win him over, or rather... win over Shrek Academy in the sky behind him.
Jing Hongchen understood as well. After all, what Shrek Academy in the sky had done was quite remarkable. To think that one person could sweep away all the elders of Shrek Academy on the ground in just two moves was something that probably no one in the entire Douluo Continent could do.
In particular, although the Sun Moon Empire has made good progress in the development of soul tools, there are too few powerful soul masters. This is also the reason why the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church have joined forces. Although the Holy Spirit Church does not have many experts in soul tools, it has quite a few powerful soul masters.
The original plan was to form a powerful alliance and unify the entire Douluo Continent, but now that Shrek Academy has appeared out of nowhere, the old emperor has no choice but to temporarily abandon his previous ideas.
Of course, right now all we can do is avoid offending Shrek Academy in the sky. At least... before we figure out the truth, we can't offend Huo Yuhao or Shrek Academy in the sky.
Thank you.
Huo Yuhao agreed without changing his expression. Of course, Huo Yuhao did not intend to give up further investigation into the old emperor or Jing Hongchen, in order to find out whether they were colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult.
It should be known that the things done by the Holy Spirit Cult are basically against the laws of nature, especially what Huo Yuhao saw and felt in that cave and that courtyard.
The rampant spread of evil spirit masters is a disaster for the entire Douluo Continent.
Especially for ordinary people with no ability, Huo Yuhao thought that it would be great if evil soul masters could be like the Holy Spirit Execution Department of the academy. They all had evil martial souls, but the things they did were not harmful to the Douluo Continent.
The old emperor waved his hand and said with a smile.
"No need to thank me."
"I just want you to know that the gates of the Sun and Moon Empire are always open to you."
He paused, then added.
"You're young and promising, keep up the good work."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old emperor turned around and left the academy gate with his entourage.
Jing Hongchen watched the old emperor leave, then turned to Huo Yuhao with a smile and said...
"As per His Majesty's orders, all the soul tool blueprints of Mingde Hall are now open to you."
"You can come to Mingde Hall to find me anytime you want to see something."
Huo Yuhao nodded.
"Thank you, Dean Jingchen."
Jing Hongchen waved his hand, said nothing more, turned around, and walked into the academy.
Xiao Hongchen stood aside, looking at Huo Yuhao with a face full of emotion.
"Huo Yuhao, I really didn't expect this..."
He shook his head.
"His Majesty values you so much."
Huo Yuhao glanced at him.
"What?"
Xiao Hongchen smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"However, with your talent, this is natural."
"Not only are the Soul Instructors so talented, but the Soul Masters are also quite powerful in combat."
"I approve of you."
Meng Hongchen, standing to the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes upon hearing this.
"You approve of them? Do they need your approval?"
Xiao Hongchen wasn't angry when his younger sister teased him; he just chuckled.
"I'm telling the truth."
Huo Yuhao looked at the brother and sister and couldn't help but smile.
Jing Hongchen took a few steps, then suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.
"Xiao, Meng, you two are the same age as Huo Yuhao, so you should treat Huo Yuhao well and not neglect him."
Xiao Hongchen nodded quickly.
"Grandpa, don't worry, leave it to us."
Jing Hongchen nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.
Once Jing Hongchen had gone far away, Xiao Hongchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, moved closer to Huo Yuhao, and whispered something.
"Huo Yuhao, do you know how generous the conditions His Majesty just offered you were?"
"A hereditary dukedom, with all resources provided... This has never happened before in the history of the Sun and Moon Empire."
Huo Yuhao nodded.
"I know."
Xiao Hongchen looked at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"But you still refused."
Huo Yuhao said calmly.
"I am a Shrek student."
Xiao Hongchen paused for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.
"Alright, you're awesome."
At this moment, the voice of Tianmeng Bingcan rang out in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
"Yuhao, these guys are actually this nice?"
His tone carried a hint of excitement.
"All soul tool blueprints are now available to you. This is a great opportunity!"
"You must make the most of this opportunity, get all those soul tool blueprints, study them thoroughly, and advance to the fifth-level soul master as soon as possible!"
Huo Yuhao nodded inwardly.
"I know."
He was well aware that this was a rare opportunity.
Hearing the preferential treatment the old emperor had given him, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh. The Sun Moon Empire was truly generous. The Sun Moon Empire treated him so well because of Shrek Academy in the sky behind him, and also because he had value.
If he had no ability and no Shrek Academy as his backing... the Sun Moon Empire wouldn't even give him a second glance.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao's approval of Shrek Academy increased even more.
It was the academy that gave him the confidence, the academy that gave him the capital to stand here, facing the monarch of a country, neither humble nor arrogant.
Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao felt an even stronger sense of belonging to Shrek Academy.
Now, no matter what, what I should do is to continuously improve myself in these four months and not waste time. I wonder how Tang Wulin and the others are doing these past few days.
How much stronger have you become? Have you closed the gap between yourself and your opponent, or have you fallen further behind?
