Douluo Continent: Newcomer Yuhao, thank you Lan Xuanyu

This really hit a nerve with Beibei and Tangya.

No matter how much they promise, the Tang Clan currently has nothing, and they can't conjure up people out of thin air.

Moreover, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion has a very powerful background, and the Tang Sect cannot afford to go against such a person at present.

Lan Xuanyu continued to curse a few more times, and the more he cursed, the lower Tang Ya and Bei Bei's heads drooped. Just then, a middle-aged man in white opened the door and walked in, and the three of them instinctively looked at him.

The middle-aged man in white said calmly, "You're alright now. Please forget what happened just now, and don't let anyone else know, or you'll be expelled from the academy. Here, take this as compensation." As he spoke, he tossed a small porcelain bottle to Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu instinctively raised his hand to catch it. The middle-aged man in white turned and left, saying, "Go to class. Remember, none of this happened."

Is this over?

Lan Xuanyu looked at the small porcelain bottle in his hand and found it increasingly ridiculous.

He suddenly realized that Shrek Academy wasn't the Shrek Academy he remembered...

"Ha...haha...hahahaha..."

Beibei and Tang Ya looked at each other, at a loss as they stared at Lan Xuanyu, who seemed to have gone mad.

……

Starry Palace.

He stared at the report his subordinate had just brought him for a long time, thoughtfully tapping his delicate chin.

This... was truly beyond her expectations.

It wasn't surprising that Huo Yuhao was able to thwart the assassination attempt, but what she didn't expect was how outstanding his counterattack was.

Both of Dai Hao's proudest children were expelled from Shrek Academy, and even Dai Yueheng, who was about to graduate from Shrek's inner academy, was not spared.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin's "outstanding performance" has already spread throughout the noble circles of the Star Luo Empire.

At least for now, the White Tiger Duke's mansion can be said to have no successor...

The premise is that Huo Yuhao's surname is not Dai.

Hmm... Princess Jiu Jiu swung her high heels with a hint of smugness, thinking that she could take advantage of this public opinion storm to infiltrate generals loyal to the royal family into the Mingdou Mountains and slowly regain military power.

As for Dai Hao... his influence in the army is still quite large, and he has vested interests with many of the worshippers in the Hall of Worship. Cutting off the deeply rooted power of the White Tiger family cannot be accomplished overnight.

Hopefully, Dai Hao can stay calm during this time and stop provoking the Sun Moon Empire...

This has almost become a rule: whenever the royal family tries to make a move against the Dai family, Dai Hao will send troops across the border to harass the Sun Moon Empire from the Mingdou Mountains. Then there will be a military crisis, and the more important back-and-forth struggle is to stabilize the border.

Don't ask why the military situation is in crisis.

Just then, a maid's voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, His Majesty requests your presence in the study."

Xu Jiujiu quickly stood up and walked outside.

If she guessed correctly, they were discussing the whereabouts of the level eight soul master who had defected from the Sun Moon Empire.

Although this Soul Master from Mingde Hall was only at level eight, he possessed unique expertise in spatial manipulation. With the help of the Star Luo Empire's Soul Guidance Technology Research Department, he actually developed a level nine Soul Guidance device, the Conferred God Platform.

The Star Luo Empire's soul guidance technology was the most advanced among the original three kingdoms of Douluo Continent, but that was only relatively speaking. Compared to the Sun Moon Empire, it was far inferior.

It's just that Xu Jiawei was born too late. As one of the few wise rulers in the Star Luo Empire, Xu Jiawei devoted himself to governing the country. In a peaceful era without war, he could have earned a nice posthumous title. The single character "Wen" would definitely not be enough; at least it would have been "Ming" or "Jing".

Xu Jiawei even boasted to Xu Jiujiu in private that if given another five hundred years of peace, he was confident he could lead the Star Luo Empire to catch up with the Sun Moon Empire and completely unify the continent.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking. Even if Xu Jiawei wanted to borrow another five hundred years from heaven, there was no way to do it. The life energy of the plane in this era is far less than that of ten thousand years ago. At most, a Limit Douluo can only live for three hundred years.

Back then, when Baili Du did that to Ah Yin, although a lot of life energy was recovered, it would take a gradual process, at least ten years. After the plane energy recovered to this extent, a Title Douluo could live to be around three hundred years old, and a Limit Douluo could live to be at least five hundred.

If we were to devour a certain plane of existence during this timeframe, it might even evolve directly into a realm of gods...

Of course, this is just a thought.

On his way to Xu Jiawei's study, Xu Jiujiu pondered the results of the astrological divination made by the Xu family patriarch.

In the North, the Investiture of the Gods begins with snow.

The north is blessed with great fortune; although I don't know exactly what it is, it's always a good idea to bring this altar of gods along.

If it's going north, does that mean we're going to the far north?

……

Inside a lavishly decorated room in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Dai Huabin lay half-dead on the bed, his eyes tightly closed. The Duchess, dressed in fine clothes, was sobbing by the bedside with a handkerchief in her hand, while Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger stood beside her, his resolute face ashen.

Kneeling on the ground, Dai Yueheng didn't dare to raise his head, shrinking his body as much as possible to minimize his presence.

"Great...that's really great!"

His voice betrayed no emotion, but only Dai Yueheng and the Duchess, who knew him best, knew that Dai Hao was truly enraged.

Dai Hao went up and slapped Dai Yueheng across the face, sending him flying far away.

"The White Tiger Duke's mansion actually produced two geniuses like you, once-in-a-millennium talents! Unable to defeat them, you resort to assassination?!"

Then his voice rose several times higher, "Do any of you have even a trace of what I, Dai Hao, should look like? Don't you even know how to spell 'upright and honorable'?! You've completely disgraced the White Tiger Clan!"

"..."

Both Dai Yueheng and the Duchess were speechless upon hearing this, and exchanged a knowing glance.

It's obvious they share the same thought.

Yes, the dignified Duke of White Tiger had an illegitimate child with someone else, and yet he goes around proclaiming how devoted and faithful he is...

Looking at Dai Yueheng's swollen cheeks, Dai Hao's voice softened a bit, "This matter cannot be left like this... There are already voices opposing me in the court and the army. If it cannot be resolved perfectly, it may affect my military power and status."

"Here's what we'll do. Pack your things and get ready to go to the Star Luo National Academy. With your Soul Emperor cultivation, you'll definitely be able to represent the Star Luo Empire in the competition. Do your best in next year's All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament, and don't embarrass me."

Dai Yueheng looked troubled. "Father, this..."

Dai Hao said irritably, "Stop being so picky. This is exactly what Xu Jiawei wants. Perform well at Xingluo National Academy, and once this storm passes, I'll have the opportunity to transfer you to my command."
