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

As she spoke, a conflicted look appeared on Jing Hongchen's face.

After all, Shrek Academy cast a huge shadow over the Sun Moon Empire.

Since the Sun Moon Empire participated in the All-Continent Soul Battle Tournament, the champion has always been Shrek Academy, and Shrek Academy's undefeated myth was only broken in the last Soul Battle Tournament.

The shadow is not so easily dispelled. In every competition, as long as Shrek Academy participates normally, it will become the strongest opponent of Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

However, in Jing Hongchen's eyes, as long as Huo Yuhao makes a move, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy will surely win.

After all, Huo Yuhao is the strongest member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team.

Kong Deming glanced at Jing Hongchen, as if he could see right through her: "So you came here to pour out your troubles? You should also trust the other students. They may not be as good as Yuhao, but I think they are better than the students of Shrek Academy."

Besides, you've been really bothered by Xu Tianzhen lately, haven't you? You came here probably to avoid her and avoid conflict.

Jing Hongchen smiled awkwardly: "Elder Kong, Xu Tianzhen is, after all, the most favored princess of the Sun Moon Empire, and she is arrogant. I am just a small hall master. If I can't help but clash with Xu Tianzhen, she might hold a grudge and slander me in front of Xu Tianran every day. How can I sit securely in my position as hall master?"

As you know, outsiders give me face by calling me "Hall Master," but my power as Hall Master essentially comes from the Sun and Moon Royal Family.

Even the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was built after the Sun Moon Royal Family. If Xu Tianran were to become emperor, he could easily issue an edict for me to step down as hall master and dean if he so desired.”

To be honest, being the head of Mingde Hall and the dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy would actually be of considerable benefit to Jing Hongchen himself, and even to the Hongchen family.

Kong Deming said calmly, "I will protect you. Xu Tianran wouldn't be foolish enough to do such a thing to you."

Moreover, Hongchen, instead of worrying about this all day, you should focus on improving your cultivation. Once you reach level 95, you can learn from my experience and try to advance to level 10 Soul Master.

You must strive harder, mortal world!

"As long as you're strong enough, so what if you offend Xu Tianzhen? In Douluo Continent, strength is the most important thing."

Jing Hongchen gave an awkward smile: "Elder Kong, look at what you're saying. Becoming a level 95 Super Douluo isn't that simple."

Even with your talent, you've been stuck at this level for so long. Although I've tried my best, I probably have no hope of becoming a level 95 Super Douluo.

I estimate that the next person most likely to become a Level 10 Soul Master is Yuhao. After all, his talent is simply too outstanding. I even think he might surpass you in his career as a Soul Master.

Kong Deming nodded, an approving look on his face, and said, "Indeed, even if we look back at the history of Douluo Continent, Yuhao is undoubtedly the number one genius. It's quite normal for him to surpass me in the future."

However, I feel that Shrek Academy's claim that Tang San is the number one genius in Douluo Continent is somewhat undeserved.

As he spoke, he became more enthusiastic: "Moreover, Tang San's contribution to the Douluo Continent is negligible. In the eyes of most Douluo people, defeating the Spirit Empire and preventing the Spirit Empire from unifying the Douluo Continent is Tang San's greatest contribution. However, a unified empire would be of great benefit to both spirit masters and the people."

Chapter 331 Kong Deming's Praise

Kong Deming leaned back in his chair and said with a hint of helplessness, "If I had the power of Tang San, turning the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire into one empire would be an easy thing to do."

I don't know what Tang San was thinking back then, allowing the two great empires to continue to exist, and even forbidding the Heaven Dou Empire from attacking the Star Luo Empire for ten years. What about after ten years?

"Once war breaks out again, neither Soul Masters nor ordinary people can stay out of it. After all, war is one of the cruelest things in the world."

"The Sun Moon Continent clashed with the Douluo Continent more than four thousand years ago. In other words, the conflict between the two empires existed for more than five thousand years before the Sun Moon Continent merged into the Douluo Continent after Tang San ascended to the God Realm."

After all, according to historical records, the two empires fought many wars during the past five thousand years, and the Tiandou Empire even split into the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire.

However, whenever one side suffers significant losses, the Tang Sect invariably pulls in the supposedly neutral Shrek Academy to mediate, acting as peacemakers.

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh. In fact, he was not against war, after all, he hoped that the Sun Moon Empire would unify the Douluo Continent in the future and bring all three empires into its territory.

However, once the Douluo Continent is unified by the Sun Moon Empire, it means that the frequency of wars between humans will decrease significantly in the years to come. Historically, the Sun Moon Continent was once a continent with multiple small empires.

However, as time went on, the Sun Moon Empire destroyed these small empires and unified the Sun Moon Continent. In the thousands of years that followed, fewer people died in wars than before the unification. Moreover, because the Sun Moon Continent was unified, the empire could allocate the manpower and resources that it could coordinate across the entire continent to develop soul tools.

This led to the flourishing development of the Sun Moon Empire in the field of soul tools.

Upon hearing these words, Jing Hongchen smiled and said, "Elder Kong, don't you know the true nature of the Tang Clan?"

The Tang Clan is a sect that sells hidden weapons. If an empire were to perish due to enormous losses, the sales of Tang Clan's hidden weapons would inevitably decline drastically.

However, if the three great empires continue to exist and their conflicts deepen, they will all have to purchase Tang Clan hidden weapons in order to strengthen their armies.

After all, before the Sun Moon Empire brought powerful soul tools, hidden weapons were the mainstream weapons in Douluo Continent. However, after the Sun Moon Empire brought soul tools, Tang Sect's hidden weapons stopped selling well, and the sect gradually declined.

I even have some suspicions that the split of the Heaven Dou Empire might have been related to the Tang Sect.

“Tang Clan…” Kong Deming’s face showed a thoughtful expression. He remembered something and said, “I remember that Tang Clan was on the list of participants submitted for this competition.”

Jing Hongchen nodded, then said confidently, "That's right, but Elder Kong, don't worry, the Tang Clan team is nothing to fear."

Pat-pat, at that moment, a series of footsteps sounded outside the laboratory.

Then Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen opened the laboratory door and walked in.

“Xuan Ziwen, Yuhao.” Jing Hongchen’s eyes lit up immediately. He stood up from his chair and walked quickly to Xuan Ziwen and Huo Yuhao.

Of course, his main attention was actually focused on Huo Yuhao. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yuhao, you've finally finished researching soul tools with Xuan Ziwen."

The competition is tomorrow, and I hope you can participate. Put the soul tool thing aside for now; at the very least, don't spend tomorrow holed up in the lab with Xuan Ziwen researching soul tools.

Xuan Ziwen, who was standing to the side, said, "The matter of the soul tool can indeed be put aside for the time being. After all, Yuhao has invented the soul spirit ball and helped me greatly speed up the research and development of the soul ring storage device, which allowed me to create the soul ring storage device."

Jing Hongchen was stunned: "A Soul Spirit Sphere? A Soul Ring Storage Device?"

The former, based solely on its name, confirms that the so-called Soul Orb is related to souls, but its specific effects are unknown. The latter, however, reveals its effects simply by its name.

Soul Ring Storage?

Is there really a soul tool in this world that can store soul rings? This must be an unprecedented achievement.

He looked at Xuan Ziwen with some surprise, then his gaze shifted back to Huo Yuhao.

“Yes, a Soul Spirit Sphere and a Soul Ring Storage Device. Their functions are to store Soul Spirits and Soul Rings, respectively. Yuhao truly deserves to be called a peerless genius of my Sun Moon Empire. He has once again made an outstanding contribution to the field of Soul Tools.” Xuan Ziwen smiled as he spoke, taking out the Soul Ring Storage Device.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao took out the Soul Orb he had just made.

Jing Hongchen was somewhat bewildered. He looked at Huo Yuhao with increasing surprise, thinking to himself, "It's only been a few days, and you've already created this kind of soul tool?"

He did not question Xuan Ziwen's words, but accepted them naturally. After all, with Yuhao's talent, he was definitely capable of doing such a thing.

However, Jing Hongchen was somewhat frustrated. He once again felt the huge gap between himself and Huo Yuhao in terms of talent in soul tools. After all, it was extremely difficult for any soul tool master to develop a soul tool that had never appeared before and was of great strategic significance.

Kong Deming, who was sitting in the chair, also looked surprised. He quickly stood up and came to Xuan Ziwen and Huo Yuhao, saying, "Ziwen, Yuhao, could you demonstrate for me and Hongchen?"

He actually trusted Huo Yuhao and Jing Hongchen quite a bit. He was only saying these words now to witness the novel and strategically significant Soul Spirit Sphere and Soul Ring Storage Device.

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Okay. Teacher Xuan, let's begin."

Xuan Ziwen, who was standing to the side, agreed and said, "Okay."

The two then began demonstrating the functions of the spirit orb and spirit ring storage device.

The many Soft Bone Rabbit experimental subjects in the laboratory have now become their materials. Moreover, in the process, Xuan Ziwen also explained the process of him and Huo Yuhao making soul tools, and emphasized the importance of the core magic array developed by Huo Yuhao.

after a while.

Kong Deming looked at Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen approvingly: "Yuhao, you are Ziwen's pride, and also my pride. The emergence of these two types of soul tools will surely further solve some of the problems encountered by the Sun Moon Soul Masters, and provide help for the personal development of soul masters, and even the future development of the Sun Moon Empire."

"Promote them vigorously. With my support and Ziwen's backing, you'll encounter virtually no resistance in promoting these soul tools. I can actually provide any resources needed to make them."

"Thank you very much, Master Kong!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen responded to Kong Deming's words almost one after the other.

Chapter 332 The First Ray of Faith

Meanwhile, Jing Hongchen, who was nearby, couldn't wait to congratulate Huo Yuhao and Xuan Ziwen.

Kong Deming looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "By the way, Xu Tianzhen has recently been eager to study at our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as an exchange student of Mingdu Soul Master Academy. He even specifically asked Yuhao to show him around the campus. Yuhao, what do you think we should do about this?"

I feel this matter is closely related to you, so I'm leaving the decision to you.

Huo Yuhao was stunned. Actually, he wasn't against Xu Tianzhen coming over. In fact, no matter what Xu Tianzhen's personality was, as long as she could generate solar power, she was a tonic. Just thinking about the existence of such a tonic made him a little happy.

After all, that's a great thing that can improve one's strength.

So he nodded and said, "Alright, then let Xu Tianzhen come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to study. As for showing her around the campus, I can do that if I have time."

Well, it wasn't for the sake of going on a date with Xu Tianzhen; he was simply craving her solar power. With more solar power, his strength would inevitably grow further, especially in terms of physical attributes.

However, in theory, if the Sun Martial Soul can gather the power of the sun, then the Moon Martial Soul should also be able to gather the power of the moon. If the owners of these two Martial Souls were present at the same time and assisted him in his cultivation, then his speed of becoming stronger could probably be increased even further.

As it happened, he knew that Shrek Academy had a Moon Martial Soul user—Zhang Lexuan, the senior sister of the inner court.

If we could bring Zhang Lexuan over, it would be like having a Moon Essence Power generator. Although Moon Essence Power is very similar to Sun Essence Power, both being diluted versions of Moon Essence and Sun Essence, having it is better than not having it.

Kong Deming nodded: "Yuhao, I will respect your opinion and immediately send someone to find Xu Tianran to inform him of your decision. Then Xu Tianzhen can come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to study."

Jing Hongchen forced a smile and offered his congratulations, but his inner frustration was growing rapidly.

After all, judging from Xu Tianzhen's attitude towards Yuhao on stage after losing to him, he knew that the other party must have feelings for Huo Yuhao.

Therefore, once Xu Tianzhen arrives at the school, she will definitely pursue Huo Yuhao. This will likely further reduce the chances of her granddaughter becoming Huo Yuhao's wife.

........

after a while.

Sun and Moon Palace.

The warm sunlight shone on the grass.

Xu Tianzhen sat in his chair, fuming, looking at the disastrous state of the chessboard on the table. He said, "Brother, this Jing Hongchen is just being stubborn. I've mentioned this to him many times, but he still says he'll definitely persuade Elder Kong to let me study at this academy next time."

I don't think he took it seriously at all; it's been several days and he still hasn't succeeded.

Xu Tianran rubbed his temples, his gaze shifting as he listened to Xu Tianzhen's words. He suddenly chuckled, "As the head of Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen has no reason to deceive you."

After all, you have me and the entire Sun Moon Royal Family behind you. He may have just encountered some difficulties, which is why this matter has been delayed until now.

"However, I will send someone to urge them on this matter as soon as possible. After all, this is a major event in your life and cannot be taken lightly. If Huo Yuhao really becomes the consort, it will undoubtedly benefit both your happiness and our Sun Moon Royal Family."

Just then, a voice transmission entered Xu Tianran's mind. After listening to the content, a smile appeared on his face: "Tianzhen, I have good news for you. You can go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to study, and Huo Yuhao will show you around the academy. However, the prerequisite is that he has time."

"Okay." Xu Tianzhen nodded, her face beaming with a smile, looking extremely happy.

.......

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

In the square.

Some of the Soul Masters from the Spirit Pagoda were gathered in the plaza, some of them yawning and looking like they hadn't woken up yet. It was said that the Spirit Pagoda would announce two groundbreaking Soul Tools to assist everyone in their future work.
