The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 107 His Future Self?

Huo Zhanji, who had fainted on the competition stage, found himself in a void. A figure radiating white light stood with his back to Huo Zhanji, exuding an unparalleled aura that made Huo Zhanji gasp for breath.

"Senior?" Huo Zhanji asked, looking at the illusory figure in front of him.

"You woke up so quickly. This is the first time someone has woken up so quickly after casting Eternal Kingdom," the white phantom said.

"How did you know the name of this move, senior?" Huo Zhanji asked in confusion.

"You don't need to know that. You just need to know that I won't harm you." As he spoke, a silver-white core appeared in the white figure's hand, and the core followed the instructions to Huo Zhanji.

Huo Zhanji felt a strange sensation, as if this had always belonged to him. He then asked, "Senior, what is this?"

"This item is called the Eternal Core, and you will naturally understand its effects." With that, the white figure disappeared.

"The Eternal Core? What is its connection to the Eternal Divine Spear?" Huo Zhanji wondered.

.........

At this moment, Huo Zhanji's system was talking to the white figure.

【My lord, why did you descend to this point in time? Isn't it a bit too early to give the Eternal Core to your past self?】

"You don't understand. We're giving it to him now because he doesn't have much time left, and the Dragon Clan's Graveyard has awakened during this period. He'll obtain the Dragon God's Core, so he won't be alone in the future, facing all living beings with his back to the world." The one the system referred to as "Master" was none other than the future Huo Zhanji.

In the original storyline, he became the eternal supreme god and had a group of companions, but they all perished during the great war with the divine realm. Although he destroyed the divine realm, he felt as if he had lost his heart. It wasn't until he encountered the system and bound it to his past self that he regained hope.

But then you'll disappear completely! There are other ways.

"I know my past self too well, and I won't completely disappear. He is me, and I am him, so how can I disappear?" said the future Huo Zhanji.

【grown ups! 】

"No need to say anything more, just assist him as much as possible, and take him to the Dragon Burial Grounds when the time is right."

…………

Outside, Huo Zhanji slowly awoke, asking, "The Eternal Core has already fused?"

The Shrek students immediately surrounded them.

The three women looked at Huo Zhanji, and finally Wang Dong'er asked, "Zhanji, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly faint?"

"I...I'm fine. By the way, how did the competition go?" Huo Zhanji said.

"Let me explain. After you fainted, the Snow Demon Sect won the match between the Snow Demon Sect and the Proud Sword Sect, which means the Body Sect won." Bei Bei said, looking at Huo Zhanji.

"The winners of the lower bracket are Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Tianlong Gate. It's estimated that in the end, there's a higher chance that we won't face Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Now, the four teams that have emerged in the final four are Shrek Academy and Snow Demon Sect in the upper bracket, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Heavenly Dragon Gate in the lower bracket.

"It's pretty much as I expected," Huo Zhanji said.

The Shrek team returned to the hotel and went to their rooms to rest immediately. They had basically achieved their goals in today's battle: they had wiped out the Holy Spirit Sect and rescued Tang Ya. Shrek had successfully entered the top four, and their basic mission for this competition was complete.

Huo Zhanji's face had regained a rosy glow and was no longer so pale. He was really too tired today, both mentally and physically exhausted, and both his soul power and mental energy were greatly depleted.

After resting for nearly two hours, Huo Zhanji and his group finally arrived at the dining hall for a meal. In the dining hall, they welcomed two guests, or more precisely, two princesses.

After dinner, Huo Zhanji, Vina, and Xu Jiujiu sat in the living room on the top floor of the Mingyue Hotel, which belonged to the Snow Demon Sect. The Star Luo National Academy lost decisively but managed to save themselves. Xu Jiujiu's expression was normal.

"When does Your Highness plan to leave?" Huo Zhan asked quickly.

After a long pause, he said, "We're not in a hurry. We'll leave after the competition. If the Mingyue Hotel doesn't continue to accommodate me, I'll find another hotel nearby."

"Oh? It seems Your Highness is not in a hurry to return!" Huo Zhanji said with a smile.

She glanced at him for a long time, then said, "Yeah! I'm not in a hurry. The semifinals and finals will definitely be even more exciting. Since we're already here, we should watch the whole thing before we leave."

After saying he would stay, Xu Jiujiu turned to Vina beside him and said, "Vina, your Snow Demon Sect should be coming soon, right?"

Vina had returned to normal and was still very gentle. She smiled slightly, and dimples appeared on her face, making her look like a fresh and lovely lily.

"If we reach the semi-finals, our mission will be accomplished. Our chances of winning against Shrek Academy are slim."

Xu Jiujiu smiled and said, "That's fine! When we leave, we can leave together, so we can keep each other company."

Vina nodded and said, "That would be great. Huo Zhanji, let's go together after this competition ends. Let's invite everyone from Shrek Academy too. The more the merrier."

"I'm afraid there's something else you haven't said?" Huo Zhanji asked.

After a brief pause, he said, "I'll cut to the chase. You've all seen what's happening in this tournament. The Sun Moon Empire is growing stronger, and our analysis suggests they'll have some kind of conspiracy after this tournament. We don't know the specifics yet, but the combined strength of the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult poses a huge threat to either of us. If they decide to harm us, we'll find it difficult to resist. After all, this is their territory. Therefore, when I leave, I hope to take my people with me and you all. Unity is strength, division is weakness. Together, we can support each other."

Huo Zhanji nodded slightly.

Vina nodded and added, "I agree with Sister Jiu Jiu. Unity is strength, division is weakness. Right now, the Sun Moon Empire is too peaceful for us, so peaceful that it frightens me. After the competition, if we all leave together, things should be much better. At least they'll have to think twice before they want to deal with us."

Huo Zhanji glanced at the two women, shook his head, and said, "I cannot represent Shrek Academy. Well then, Your Highnesses, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave now. We'll talk again later."

After saying that, Huo Zhanji turned and left the room. He and Vina looked at each other for a long time, speechless.
