She knew that Elder Kong was very strong, so he must have played a significant role in capturing Xuanzi. As for Huo Yuhao, he must have contributed some effort as well, but probably not much. After all, how could a Soul Emperor possibly get involved in a battle of that level?
Chapter 322 Praise the Sun!
Since the opponent is a Soul Emperor, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Admittedly, the opponent's mental strength is very strong, and they can even defeat a Soul King with just their mental soul skills. However, I have a mental defense soul tool, so I should be able to withstand the opponent's mental attacks.
Of course, Xu Tianzhen's confidence came not only from her mental defense soul tool, but also from her martial soul and soul skills. She believed that her strength was very high among her peers. After all, she was now a Soul Emperor.
Her martial soul is the Sun Martial Soul, one of the two martial souls inherited by the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire. Although the Sun Martial Soul is not as good as Xu Tianran's Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul, it is still considered a top-tier martial soul among fire-attribute martial souls.
Moreover, one of the advantages of having an inherited martial soul is that predecessors have already studied this martial soul quite thoroughly.
Even regarding the configuration of soul skills, predecessors have already summarized an optimal method, so she, as a successor, does not need to make mistakes in this regard.
.......
On the high platform.
Xu Tianran wasn't in a good mood, but he still wore a warm smile, after all, there were so many people watching!
Although the next match was between Mingdu Soul Master Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he had no interest in watching it. Judging from the difference in strength between the two, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would definitely win in the end.
What he cares about most right now is Xuanzi's matter. Yesterday, Xianlin'er came to him, demanding that the Sun Moon Empire release Xuanzi and offering to concede some benefits.
In fact, according to Xian Lin'er's own thoughts, if Elder Mu hadn't ordered that Xuan Zi be brought back first, she wouldn't have been willing to do such a thing. After all, Xuan Zi's suspected act of betrayal had dealt a huge blow to Shrek Academy's reputation.
Xu Tianran was about to negotiate with the other party to gain some benefits when he received news that Xuanzi had been released. He had no choice but to give up. After some inquiries, he learned that Master Kong had voluntarily released Xuanzi, which immediately made him unhappy.
Although the arrest of Xuanzi was basically none of his business, as the future Emperor of the Sun and Moon, he could not allow Kong Deming to release Xuanzi without consulting him. The other party clearly did not respect him, the regent.
No matter how strong the other party is, I am the crown prince and the other party is a subject. I respect the other party and call him "Master Kong" only because the other party is powerful and has royal blood. However, the other party is still a subject and needs to respect me, the crown prince.
Thinking of this, Xu Tianran's eyes flickered slightly, and his thoughts surged like a tide.
"It seems that the process of making the Holy Spirit Cult a national guardian cult needs to be accelerated. It is a good thing that Elder Kong has become stronger. He should have become an unprecedented level ten soul master. Otherwise, in theory, he should not have been able to defeat Xuanzi who is burning with the flame of life."
Recently, Kong Lao's prestige within the empire has been soaring, and he has even released Xuanzi without consulting me, showing that he has become somewhat arrogant.
In this situation, someone must check and balance Kong Lao to prevent the power of the Sun and Moon Soul Masters from growing stronger. Ideally, the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun and Moon Soul Masters, led by Kong Lao, should have some sharp conflicts in the court.
Once the two groups start fighting, as long as the fight doesn't get too serious, my throne will be more secure.
After all, with Master Kong as a powerful pillar of support, the likelihood of the Sun and Moon Soul Masters forming cliques and engaging in corrupt practices would greatly increase. At that point, even if Master Kong wasn't interested in the throne, there would be people who would gradually push him towards it.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy Waiting Area.
Xiao Hongchen looked at the competition stage with some eagerness and said, "Yuhao, we are going to play against the Mingdu Soul Instructor team today. How about I go first and let them know just how strong the second-level genius of the Sun and Moon Realm is? Don't worry, I will beat them to a pulp."
Meng Hongchen glanced at Xiao Hongchen and said helplessly, "Xiao, you should rest. If you fight with Xu Tianzhen later and you don't control your strength and hurt Xu Tianzhen, see how Grandpa scolds you when he gets home."
Xiao Hongchen's expression stiffened slightly. The higher-ups of the Sun Moon Empire all knew that Xu Tianzhen was favored, so when conflicts arose with Xu Tianzhen, most people would choose to back down to prevent the conflict from escalating further.
For a moment, his brows furrowed involuntarily. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Grandpa, let him scold me. I will never admit defeat. So what if I'm the most favored princess? If I participate in the competition, I should be prepared to get hurt."
Under the protection of the Sun and Moon Judges, Xu Tianzhen could not possibly be seriously injured. After all, who would dare to let the most favored princess be seriously injured in front of Regent Xu Tianran? However, the judges would not recklessly step in when Xu Tianzhen was only slightly injured.
"No need, I'll go on stage and finish the match as quickly as possible to save time." Huo Yuhao stepped forward, hoping to finish the match sooner so he could have more time to cultivate, since he still needed to go back and practice the Sun and Moon Profound Technique.
Moreover, he remembered that Xu Tianzhen, relying on his own martial soul and soul skills, actually had the function of absorbing and transferring solar energy. In the original work, when Qiu'er fought with Xu Tianzhen, she not only recovered her soul power, but also slightly improved her soul power and purified her bloodline. It can be said that Xu Tianzhen was a great tonic for Qiu'er.
Ultimately, it is because the legendary Golden Dragon absorbed the Sun's Radiance and made it its own source of power. The Sun's Radiance is essentially the energy of the sun, and Xu Tianzhen's soul skill can be simply summarized as releasing a large amount of solar energy.
Yes, praise the sun.
Ordinary people couldn't withstand it, but Huo Yuhao was different. For him, who possessed the Sun and Moon Profound Skill, Xu Tianzhen's soul skill was nothing short of a tonic.
Huo Yuhao felt that if he could find more people with Sun Martial Soul and Moon Martial Soul to help him, the efficiency of his Sun and Moon Profound Technique would definitely improve.
The Sun Martial Soul is the inherited Martial Soul of the Sun and Moon Royal Families. As for the Moon Martial Soul, he remembered that Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of Shrek Academy, had the Moon Martial Soul.
Huo Yuhao used his flying soul tool to fly to the competition stage, and when Xu Tianzhen saw this, his eyes lit up and he immediately used his flying soul tool to fly directly to the competition stage as well.
Xu Tianzhen stared at Huo Yuhao's face and said, "Huo Yuhao, I will be your opponent. You and I are both captains of our respective teams. Considering that we are both from the Sun Moon Clan, I will go easy on you and will not cause you serious injuries."
So confident? Huo Yuhao sized up Xu Tianzhen, then said calmly, "I will also show mercy. Huo Yuhao, Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."
Seeing that Huo Yuhao still maintained his calm and composed attitude, Xu Tianzhen didn't say anything more, so she said, "Xu Tianzhen, Mingdu Royal Soul Master Academy."
The referee looked at the two players, raised his right hand, and then brought it down heavily: "The match begins!"
Chapter 323 Qiu'er, what did you eat to grow up like this?
"Huo Yuhao, I'm actually very strong! Even among my peers in the royal family, no one can rival me. So, I think you need to be prepared to lose the match." Xu Tianzhen smiled; she had always been a proud person.
Huo Yuhao remained expressionless and did not react in any particular way to Xu Tianzhen's words. After all, it was normal for Xu Tianzhen, as the most favored princess of Sun Moon, to have such confidence.
In terms of strength, Xu Tianzhen was not qualified to be his opponent. Therefore, in his eyes, the other party's provocation was no different from a child waving a tree branch and making threatening remarks.
Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn't react in any particular way, Xu Tianzhen was a little annoyed. Although her name was Tianzhen (meaning innocent), as a royal princess, she had seen a lot of dirty things in the palace since she was a child. Naturally, she couldn't be an innocent girl who didn't know anything.
She said those things because she was genuinely confident in her abilities and believed she would win.
On the other hand, because she wanted to provoke the other person's emotions and speed up her victory, dealing with an angry person and dealing with a calm person are not even in the same league.
She stared at Huo Yuhao, and six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—gradually appeared on her body. A golden-red light also gradually emanated from her. She did not launch an attack immediately.
Although she was confident, she also knew that she did not have the absolute suppressive power that a Title Douluo had over a Soul Emperor when facing Huo Yuhao.
If she wants to win quickly, she must secretly activate those mental defense soul tools to prepare for the opponent's mental attack.
The reason for using it secretly was to lure Huo Yuhao into attacking. If he took out his mental defense soul tool in front of Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao would probably give up his mental attack and instead use his soul cannon to bombard him.
Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy Waiting Area.
Di Qiu'er's golden eyes reflected Xu Tianzhen's image. She felt that Xu Tianzhen's words were a bit harsh. If she were on the field, she would definitely teach him a lesson.
The spirits invented by Huo Yuhao are of great benefit to the survival of spirit beasts and can ease the conflict between human spirit masters and spirit beasts. As a member of the spirit beast community, she has a very good impression of Huo Yuhao.
Furthermore, Huo Yuhao's ability to draw upon the essence of the sun, allowing her to enhance her strength while enjoying a delicious meal, further fueled her growing affection for him.
If it weren't for the fact that Huo Yuhao's human identity was too sensitive, she would have wanted to take Huo Yuhao to the Star Dou Great Forest and introduce him to Di Tian and the others.
For a soul beast like her, who is orphaned and blessed by destiny, Di Tian and the others are essentially her family.
"Qiu'er! What are you looking at? Are you itching to fight someone too? In my opinion, Yuhao shouldn't have gone up against Xu Tianzhen. He should have found a place to rest and let us take care of things."
"A mere Mingdu Soul Master Academy isn't worth Yuhao's time." Meng Hongchen, standing to the side, chuckled and took Di Qiu'er's arm.
Di Qiu'er's body stiffened slightly. In fact, she was still not used to physical contact with people other than Huo Yuhao. But if she wanted to further integrate into the human community, she had to gradually get used to it. According to her observations of humans, some girls who were close to each other had actually linked arms.
In human terms, would this be what we call best friends?
Because of her exceptional strength and the ability to use the Soul Fusion Skill with Huo Yuhao, Di Qiu'er is now a member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team. As fellow girls on the team, she and Meng Hongchen share some common interests, which naturally improves their relationship.
"Hmm, I think your suggestion is good," Di Qiu'er replied somewhat awkwardly.
Meng Hongchen sensed that Di Qiu'er was being somewhat perfunctory, so she subconsciously tightened her grip on Di Qiu'er's arm, preparing to say something critical of her.
Because of Meng Hongchen's actions, her elbow was now pressed against something soft, so she subconsciously looked at Di Qiu'er's chest, then looked away and examined her own chest.
Meng Hongchen said somewhat dejectedly, "Qiu'er, what did you eat to grow up like this?"
To be honest, she thought her figure was already pretty good, but compared to Di Qiu'er, there was still a huge gap.
Di Qiu'er blushed and pulled her arm out of Meng Hongchen's embrace. Not wanting to reveal her diet, she said, "I grew up eating soul beast meat."
"Soul beast meat?" Meng Hongchen asked with some suspicion. "I always eat soul beast meat too. Could it be that the soul beast meat you eat is special? Qiu'er, what kind of soul beast meat do you eat?"
Di Qiu'er was about to make up an excuse to respond to Meng Hongchen, but she caught a glimpse of Xu Tianzhen on the stage out of the corner of her eye, so she immediately changed the subject: "Xu Tianzhen is about to make a move."
Meng Hongchen immediately abandoned her idea of asking further questions and looked up at Xu Tianzhen.
At this moment, Xu Tianzhen opened her arms as if embracing something. In an instant, six spirit rings appeared on her body, with two yellow, two purple, and two black rings.
In the eyes of most Douluo Continent fans, this was the best soul ring configuration for a Soul Emperor. So when Xu Tianzhen revealed his soul rings, some viewers showed surprise and even exclaimed.
"A Soul Emperor! Another young Soul Emperor! Our Sun Moon Empire is truly full of talented people! No wonder she is Princess!"
A golden-red light emanated from Xu Tianzhen, causing the air temperature to rise sharply. She stared at Huo Yuhao, somewhat puzzled.
To be honest, when she was secretly activating several mental soul tools, she thought Huo Yuhao would attack her, but she didn't expect that he wouldn't attack her.
Instead, it's as if they're waiting for me to do it myself.
"What are they doing? Are they underestimating me, thinking I pose no threat?"
Thoughts swirled in her mind, and then her gaze toward Huo Yuhao became increasingly puzzled.
"Forget it, no matter what Huo Yuhao's purpose is, I have to take action and defeat him as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Xu Tianzhen's third soul ring flashed, and orange-red light shot out like a sharp sword, sweeping towards Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao had actually noticed Xu Tianzhen's secret activation of the mental defense soul tool long ago. After all, his mental power had now reached a tangible and substantial level, and coupled with his continuous use of mental detection sharing, Xu Tianzhen's little tricks could not be hidden from him at all.
However, instead of using his mental skills to directly defeat his opponent, he allowed the opponent to prepare and launch an attack on him.
If Xu Tianzhen is defeated by his spiritual skill and leaves the arena, then he will need some time before he can try to obtain the Sunflower Essence from Xu Tianzhen.
As for the possibility of a rollover.
Chapter 324 Xu Tianzhen's Astonishment
Nature cannot exist.
Although in terms of soul power cultivation, he and Xu Tianzhen were about the same.
However, when it comes to combat strength, Xu Tianzhen is far inferior to him.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao activated the Sun and Moon Profound Technique, and an invisible suction force emanated from him. The surrounding solar power also surged toward Huo Yuhao in a frenzied manner.
Huo Yuhao has now reached the sixth level of the Sun and Moon Profound Technique. He can absorb the essence of the sun and moon simply by circulating the energy without needing to meditate. However, meditation would be more efficient.
Therefore, it was no problem for him to stand still and absorb the power of the sun.
The orange-red light released by Xu Tianzhen posed no threat to him whatsoever, so he stood firmly in place, letting the light strike him. The next moment, the orange-red light hit Huo Yuhao, but it didn't cause him the slightest harm.
A look of relief appeared on his face, because he felt an increase in his physical strength. Although the increase was very small, his outstanding mental power allowed him to easily perceive the subtle differences between now and before.
"Not bad. I feel that Xu Tianzhen is a Soul Master who can purify the power of the sun and make it her own. Well, overall, she still has some value."
