Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

Chapter 106 Arrival at Tianhai

"Hehe—this is interesting."

Xie Xie raised an eyebrow, his face showing anticipation, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing.

"The annual Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament exhibition match between our Federation's top Central Academy and Shrek Academy is a familiar topic."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Speaking of which, these two academies are old rivals with a long history of competition. They were absolute mortal enemies in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament ten thousand years ago."

Although many people now believe that Shrek Academy's overall strength is no longer as good as the Federal Central Academy —

But in each exhibition match, there are always wins and losses on both sides; neither side can consistently dominate the other, making each match particularly exciting to watch.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao was leaning back in his seat on the bus, his eyes slightly closed, quietly listening to the idle chatter of Xie Xie and the others beside him.

He remained calm, occasionally tapping his fingertips lightly on the armrest of his seat, as if he were deep in thought.

Upon hearing Xie Xie's last words, he slightly opened his eyes, a barely perceptible hint of curiosity flashing in them.

Xie Xie said that in every exhibition match of the Tianhai Alliance Grand Tournament, the teams representing the Sun Moon Federation Central Academy and Shrek Academy always managed to fight back and forth.

This statement made Huo Yuhao somewhat suspicious.

He knew very well that although Shrek Academy was not much weaker than in the original timeline, top-tier Soul Masters like Yun Ming still came from Shrek, so the academy's foundation was still quite profound.

However, in terms of the average strength of students of the same age, there is still a considerable gap between Shrek Academy and the Central Academy of the Sun Moon Federation.

After all, the Central Academy gathers the most outstanding geniuses in the entire Sun Moon Federation, and its resources and teachers are top-notch on the continent. Logically speaking, it should be able to easily crush Shrek Academy in this kind of competition.

Therefore, there must be other unknown reasons hidden behind this.

Huo Yuhao lowered his eyes slightly, his mind racing, and soon he came to a guess:

This may be closely related to the geographical location of the Tianhai Alliance.

The Tianhai Alliance is located in the eastern coastal region that was originally part of the Douluo Three Kingdoms, far from the core territory of the former Sun Moon Empire, but not far from Shrek City.

This is why, even ten thousand years later, Shrek Academy still wields considerable influence in this region and enjoys widespread recognition from local Soul Masters and the general public.

As a result, the delegation from the Central Academy of the Sun Moon Federation, which came all the way from Mingdu in the western part of the continent, even if they were stronger, still needed to give Shrek Academy some face.

It wouldn't be so drastic as to mercilessly crush Shrek Academy in a performance match like the Sky Sea Alliance Grand Tournament, which would draw the attention of the entire eastern coast of the Federation, in order to avoid offending some local forces and people.

Having figured this out, Huo Yuhao stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes again, and continued to rest.

Inside the car, Huo Yuhao's family and Gu Yuena remained quiet, some with their eyes closed, others leaning back in their seats, listening attentively to the lively chatter and laughter of several younger students in their class. The atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed.

In this pleasant atmosphere, the Donghai City team's soul-guided bus slowly entered the soul-guided highway, and the speed began to increase significantly, with the scenery outside the window rushing past.

In this era, the Soul Guidance Highway within the Sun and Moon Federation has already maturely applied magnetic levitation technology and Soul Power speed control field.

This technology not only minimizes the bumps and collisions between vehicles at high speeds, ensuring passenger comfort and absolute safety, but also greatly increases the speed of the guided vehicle, far exceeding that of ordinary transportation.

At this speed, the entire convoy can reach its destination from Donghai City to Tianhai City via the Soul Guidance Expressway in just three hours, only one hour slower than the Soul Guidance Train, making it extremely convenient.

After an unknown amount of time, the bus left the highway and gradually slowed down.

Huo Yuhao gently reached out and patted Meng Hongchen's other shoulder, who was sleeping soundly with her head resting on his shoulder. His voice was so gentle it was almost dripping with tenderness: "Meng'er, wake up."

"Um----"

Meng Hongchen slowly opened her eyes, her blue eyes still tinged with sleepiness, her long eyelashes fluttering gently, like a kitten that had just woken up, looking very charming.

She tilted her head slightly and met Huo Yuhao's eyes, which were full of doting and tenderness. Her heart warmed, and she instantly dispelled most of her sleepiness.

Immediately, Meng Hongchen gave Huo Yuhao a sweet smile and asked in a soft, gentle voice, "Are we almost there, Yuhao?"

"Yes, in a few minutes we'll be getting ready to get off the bus."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, gently brushing away a stray strand of hair from her hair.

"Okay~" Meng Hongchen obediently replied, slowly sat up straight, rubbed her eyes, and began to tidy her clothes.

At this moment, looking out the car window, the outline of Tianhai City was already clearly visible.

Like Donghai City, this city is also adjacent to the sea and has an excellent geographical location. It has the largest port and dock in the entire Douluo Continent, and the sea is bustling with countless ships of all sizes.

Even more noteworthy is that, far across the ocean from Tianhai City lies the location of both the Star Luo Continent and the Heavenly Dou Continent.

For this reason, the Sun and Moon Federation's navy has stationed the Federation's three most powerful fleets—the First, Second, and Third Fleets—in Tianhai City, making its naval defense extremely strong and constantly protecting the Federation's eastern sea area.

Unlike the flat terrain of Donghai City, Tianhai City is mountainous, with continuous mountain ranges arranged in a staggered manner. Many buildings are built against the mountains, layer upon layer, rising and falling in a staggered manner.

Some of the high-rise buildings built on the mountaintops soared into the clouds, seemingly piercing the sky. This caused Meng Hongchen and the other "ancient people" from ten thousand years ago to look at them with surprise and to glance at them from time to time.

Soon, just as Huo Yuhao had said, the bus they were on arrived steadily at their destination in Tianhai City and came to a slow stop.

So, the ten students from Class Zero and their homeroom teacher, Wu Changkong, got off the bus in an orderly fashion.

At this moment, the government officials leading the delegation from Donghai City had successfully completed their meeting with the reception staff from Tianhai City and were walking towards them.

Guided by the staff of Tianhai City, the group did not walk far before arriving at the foot of a luxury hotel near their home.

This hotel is quite unique, with half of it built on land and the other half extending directly into the sea, as if it were one with the ocean.

The hotel's exterior is exquisite and grand, resembling a palace floating on the sea when viewed from afar.

It is said that every room here offers a direct view of the magnificent sea, with an excellent vista.

During the current peak tourist season, the room rates here are extremely expensive, making them unaffordable for ordinary people.

This time, the Tianhai City government specially booked the entire hotel and arranged for the teachers and students from various cities to stay free of charge. This fully demonstrates the esteemed status of these outstanding young Soul Masters throughout the Douluo Continent.
