Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Given Master Kong's personality, it's impossible for him to allow Huo Yuhao to gain a lot of false fame. Therefore, Huo Yuhao must have really played a significant role in capturing Xuanzi. He is an unprecedented genius in the Sun Moon Empire.

Perhaps this person is like Tang San, who gained the ability to fight opponents of higher levels through special means.

Ju Zi deliberately left loopholes in her words, giving Xu Tianran a chance to find fault. After all, by doing so, Xu Tianran had the opportunity to find fault, which not only showcased his personal wisdom but also made the other party aware of some of his "shortcomings," thus making them more at ease with him.

However, when she heard the other party compare Huo Yuhao to a character like Tang San, she immediately felt somewhat dissatisfied.

In her opinion, Tang San was no match for Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao had created many things that would inevitably benefit a large number of Soul Masters.

As for Tang San, according to Shrek Academy, Tang San's greatest achievement was destroying the evil Spirit Hall. However, in Ju Zi's opinion, this actually had an extremely negative impact on later generations. In any case, a unified Spirit Empire would have been more beneficial to the development of the original Douluo Continent.

“Your Highness is right. I promise I will not make this mistake again.” She continued, following Xu Tianran’s lead.

Xu Tianran smiled, clearly very satisfied with Ju Zi's performance. After weighing the pros and cons, he pondered and said, "Master Kong and Huo Yuhao acted according to the rules. Even if Shrek Academy sends someone, they won't be able to find any fault with it."

They have done a meritorious service, not only demonstrating the strength of the Sun Moon Sect but also curbing the arrogance of Shrek Academy. "Issue my decree to bestow upon Huo Yuhao the title of Earl of the Spirit Eye, making him a member of the Sun Moon Sect's great noble family. As for the reward for Elder Kong, I will personally go and meet with him."

“Yes, Your Highness,” Orange replied.

Although Xu Tianran has not yet granted Huo Yuhao a fief, Huo Yuhao becoming an earl means that he has become a nominal nobleman and can join the noble circle.

Because the Sun and Moon Emperor was unconscious and about to die.

Xu Tianran, now known as the Regent, actually wields power nearly equal to that of the Sun and Moon Emperor.

Chapter 316 Xu Jiawei: A Dark Future

At this moment, in the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

The sky was as gray as lead, and large raindrops fell one after another, shattering and splashing on the ground. A breeze blew by, spreading coolness.

Xu Jiawei stood by the window with a melancholy expression, looking at the gray sky and listening to the pattering rain. He felt that the future of the Star Luo Empire was bleak and there was no hope in sight.

In his view, the fact that Xuanzi, as the strongest student at Shrek Academy, was captured in the Sun Moon Empire for attacking the Snow Demon Sect was undoubtedly a very unfavorable thing for the Star Luo Empire.

Shrek Academy is the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent, with great power and many strong individuals.

At the same time, Shrek Academy is also the biggest backer of the Star Luo Empire.

The Sun Moon Empire harbors wolfish ambitions. If it chooses to invade the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Empire, with its strength, will be utterly unable to contend with it.

Therefore, the Star Luo Empire would have to ask Shrek Academy for help in order to avoid being ruthlessly crushed by the Sun Moon Empire.

Although the Sun Moon Sect's top brass announced that Xuanzi was captured because of the attack on the Snow Demon Sect, Xu Jiawei believes that the authenticity of Xuanzi's attack on the Snow Demon Sect is questionable.

However, no matter what, Xuanzi is still a dignified level 98 Super Douluo, and when he burns his life flame, he can be compared to a Limit Douluo.

The fact that Xuanzi was captured is undeniable. He even began to suspect that the other party's strength might have come from taking pills, otherwise how could he have been captured in a place like the Sun Moon Empire?

"Brother, I see you have a furrowed brow and a pale face; you seem to be in a bad mood?"

Xu Jiujiu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask a question.

In her memory, although her elder brother had some flaws, he was a good person overall, so he was not usually like this with a gloomy face.

"Jiujiu, you must have heard about Xuanzi's capture. Now I'm wondering, where exactly is the way out for our Star Luo Empire?"

The power of the Sun Moon Empire is now beyond my imagination. Once they launch an attack, the Sea God Pavilion, without Xuanzi's support, will inevitably be greatly weakened and it will be difficult for them to help us gain an advantage in supporting the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

"At that time, I might even lead my subjects to surrender, becoming the first ruler in the history of the Star Luo Empire to lose his country, and be nailed to the pillar of shame."

As he spoke, Xu Jiawei sighed, a look of helplessness appearing on his face.

Xu Jiujiu, standing to the side, looked at Xu Jiawei and said with some helplessness, "Brother, who else can we rely on besides Shrek Academy?"

We can't rely on Dai Hao. Although he's a skilled warrior, his individual strength is nowhere near that of the level nine soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire.

“Dai Hao...”

Upon hearing this name, Xu Jiawei's expression grew even more unpleasant: "According to the Sun Moon's higher-ups, Xuanzi was captured alive by Kong Deming and Huo Yuhao. I've never heard of the former; I guess he's a senior figure."

As for the latter, he is Dai Hao's son! Has Huo Yuhao's strength grown to the point where he can fight against Xuanzi, who is at the temporary Limit Douluo level? How old is he this year? This is too much of a genius. Even Tang San's ancestor could not fight against a Limit Douluo at this age!

Moreover, if Dai Hao hadn't neglected his family affairs for so many years, indirectly causing Huo Yuhao's mother's death, a genius like Huo Yuhao wouldn't have joined the Sun Moon Empire. Instead, he would have stayed in our Star Luo Empire and gradually grown into an enemy of the Sun Moon Empire.

The responsibility for all of this rests entirely with Dai Hao; he sowed the seeds of immense trouble for the Star Luo Empire.

The Duchess was also guilty, but since she was a member of the royal family and was now dead, he didn't bring it up or criticize her, after all, respect for the dead is paramount.

However, at this moment, he felt a pent-up anger inside him that he wanted to release. He and Dai Hao were indeed good brothers, but the other party's actions had caused some cracks in their friendship.

In addition, the Duchess's death some time ago further worsened Xu Jiawei's mood, and his contact with Dai Hao also weakened.

He even felt that if war broke out in the future, Dai Hao might not be able to defend the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire.

At that time, it will be the Star Luo Empire's nightmare.

Seeing this, Xu Jiujiu replied, "Brother, stop worrying about Dai Hao. We should focus on the future."

Even if you criticize Dai Hao fiercely in front of him, you cannot change what has happened in the past.

I believe that Shrek Academy might give up on ordinary students, but it would never give up on a level 98 Super Douluo like Xuanzi.

After all, a power like Shrek Academy has a great need for strong individuals, and cultivating such a strong individual is extremely difficult.

Therefore, Xuanzi will definitely return to Shrek City with the help of Shrek Academy.

Now that we've chosen Shrek Academy, we can actually engage in more exchanges of benefits with them.

Xu Jiawei was somewhat unwilling. He didn't want to tie himself to Shrek Academy, after all, Shrek Academy's decline was already evident.

However, Xu Jiawei currently has no good way to find a new backer.

Driven by the need to resist the Sun Moon Empire, he had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright."

After a brief silence, he slowly said, "By the way, Jiu Jiu, go and make arrangements to find some people to go to sea."

Remember, keep this a secret. Don't let anyone unrelated find out about it.

"Go to sea?" Xu Jiujiu was puzzled, not understanding the meaning behind Xu Jiawei's words.

Xu Jiawei patiently explained to Xu Jiujiu, "Yes, since the Sun Moon Continent can drift here and merge with the Douluo Continent, it means that there are very likely other continents in this world."

If we can find other continents, then we will no longer need to worry about the safety of the Star Luo Empire.

If we really can't defeat the Sun Moon Empire, we still have a way out.

Xu Jiujiu nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty's insight is brilliant. I will immediately arrange for people to set sail and see if there are any other continents in this world."

.........

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Huo Yuhao stared blankly at the messenger, who was dressed in a black robe. After finishing what he needed to say, the messenger turned and left, leaving only his back view.

Just now, Huo Yuhao learned that this person was arranged by Xu Tianran to come and announce the so-called reward to him.

His mind raced. "So, I'm now the so-called Earl of Spirit Eyes. I've become a great noble? Hmm, a great noble without a fiefdom doesn't get the benefits it brings."

"I can only use my status to infiltrate high-ranking noble circles, get closer to others, and thus further expand the influence of the Spirit Pagoda."

"Alright, we'll examine this matter more carefully later. Let's deal with Xuanzi's problem first. After all, I need Xuanzi to confess his crimes and drag Shrek Academy down with him."

Chapter 317 My Student Tang San

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy Dungeon.

Xuanzi, who was restricted by the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, was resting with his eyes closed. He was covered in blood and his skin was pale, indicating that his injuries had not yet healed.

Of course, Xuanzi was unwilling to be imprisoned here forever. He had tried to escape, but under the restriction of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, he had almost no chance of escaping.

He can't possibly reignite the flame of life. Whether he can escape this place after it burns is another matter, but he's definitely going to die. After all, given his current physical condition, once he continues to burn the flame of life, there's absolutely no way to extinguish it. This would drive him headlong down the path of detonating his soul core.

At this moment, Kong Deming, the only guard outside the dungeon, was sitting in a chair, looking Xuanzi over. When he found nothing amiss, he withdrew his gaze and put it back on the book in his hands.

The book, titled "My Student Tang San," is a joint publication of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, and it has certain research value.

But as time went by, Kong Deming's brows gradually furrowed.

The original author of this book is Yu Xiaogang, Tang San's teacher. It is said that the book records in detail Yu Xiaogang's experience in nurturing Tang San to become a god, as well as some of Yu Xiaogang's insights into teaching students.

To be honest, Kong Deming wasn't really interested in how Yu Xiaogang trained his students. After all, as verified by historians, Yu Xiaogang was just a fame-seeker who didn't have any real talent or learning.

Even the theories that Yu Xiaogang proudly put forward back then were actually derived from the materials in the Spirit Hall.

If it weren't for the fact that Yu Xiaogang's girlfriend at the time was Bibi Dong, even though he was the son of the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he would never have had the opportunity to access those secret documents. As for the method of cultivating twin martial souls, it was actually Bibi Dong, the owner of twin martial souls, who researched it.

Kong Deming's main purpose in reading this book was to get a glimpse of just how powerful the gods were, since Tang San was the universally acknowledged god of Douluo Continent and the strongest among the Seven Devils.

He has verified his theory that a level 10 Soul Master can indeed contend with a Limit Douluo, but what about a level 11 Soul Master as he envisioned?

Logically speaking, an eleventh-level Soul Master should be able to contend with a god. If one could glimpse just how powerful a god is, perhaps one could establish a standard for the strength of an eleventh-level Soul Master, and thus develop some theories on how to become an eleventh-level Soul Master.

The problem is that his method of advancing to the level 10 Soul Master was to transform his original level 9 Soul Tool, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, into his own natal Soul Tool, thereby upgrading it to the level 10 Soul Tool and then advancing himself to the level 10 Soul Master.

If one continues down this path, one must become a Limit Douluo and integrate one's second martial soul into one's natal soul tool, upgrading it to an eleventh-level soul tool.

But can this really make one an eleventh-level Soul Master and then contend with the gods?

As he flipped through the book, his face grew increasingly grim. The author, Yu Xiaogang, said that Tang San could destroy a landmass as large as the Star Luo Empire's territory with a single blow. Such destructive power was simply too strong. Even if he became an eleventh-level Soul Master, he probably couldn't reach that level.

pat pat pat.

A series of footsteps sounded, and Huo Yuhao appeared at the door. He saw Kong Deming reading a book, and immediately walked over and asked, "Old Kong, why do you look so pale even when you're reading?"

When Kong Deming saw Huo Yuhao arrive, he sighed and said helplessly, "I just feel that Tang San's strength is too great, leaving everyone far behind. Perhaps I will never have the chance to see a Soul Master and a God contend in this lifetime."

As he spoke, he handed the book to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then picked up the book and carefully read it for a while. He found that the book was basically about Yu Xiaogang's teaching methods and how advanced his theories were. It also emphasized that Yu Xiaogang played an indispensable role in Tang San's process of becoming a god.

Of course, it also mentions some of Tang San's strength after becoming a god, but the content is indeed a bit exaggerated, giving the impression that Yu Xiaogang's student is awesome, so Yu Xiaogang is even more awesome.

After all, Tang San's performance after becoming a god in the first Douluo Continent game was rather lackluster; he couldn't even break down a city wall. But in the second Douluo Continent game, Di Tian and Huo Yuhao were able to create a small black hole during their fight.

Hmm, it feels like the combat power is somewhat collapsed. I guess the original author never intended to write a five-part Douluo series. The first four parts were one thing, but the reborn Tang San is really outrageous. Tang San isn't even on the Douluo Continent anymore; he's gone to the Fairy Continent to find a wife, and he's still using the name Douluo.

Perhaps this is rebirth, my love!

That being said, if we have to find a reasonable explanation, we can only say that Tang San had just inherited the divine position at that time and had not fully mastered it, so his strength was not strong enough.

"Let me see who the author of this book is? This is a pure Yu Xiaogang fan! They're practically praising Yu Xiaogang to the skies." He flipped to the cover and saw the four big characters "Written by Yu Xiaogang" on it. He immediately realized that this was a book written by Yu Xiaogang himself to promote himself.

He looked at Kong Deming and transmitted his voice, "Elder Kong, you don't need to worry about this matter. In fact, through the Eye of Destiny, I have glimpsed the future of Soul Masters. Strictly speaking, there are indeed Soul Masters who can contend with gods. You can definitely see the scene of Soul Masters contending with gods."
