On the high platform.

A smile appeared on Xu Tianran's face. He turned to look at the Prime Minister of Sun Moon behind him and said, "Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy winning the championship again is undoubtedly a great event worth celebrating. Prime Minister, you should set off immediately to arrange some manpower to make sure this event is widely publicized throughout the Douluo Continent!"

"Yes, Your Highness, Regent." Prime Minister Sun Moon nodded respectfully.

He knew that the regent before him would inherit the throne, so he had to remain respectful. After all, whether he could continue to serve as prime minister in the future depended on Xu Tianran's decision.

Then Prime Minister Riyue got up and left the platform to begin arranging manpower.

Huo Yuhao left the competition stage and returned to the rest area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Everyone else crowded around to greet him, showering him with praise as if it were free.

Every Sun Moon player had a smile on their face. After all, Sun Moon's consecutive championship wins would undoubtedly be a historic achievement for the Sun Moon Empire.

Chapter 468 Captain Huo, always straightforward, spoke frankly.

At this moment, a beautiful female reporter walked over. She was considered an employee of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, so she had free access to the rest area. Beside her was a man carrying a recording screen.

Compared to Douluo Continent and Shrek Academy, the Sun Moon Empire's soul tools are extremely advanced.

Therefore, the Soul Guide Light Screen industry is also very prosperous in the Sun and Moon Empire.

Many Sun Moon citizens now have devices similar to the televisions Huo Yuhao had in his previous life, and the Sun Moon government has also produced a group of reporters using Soul Guide Recording Screens.

After the Sun and Moon team won the championship, based on the Prime Minister's message to the Regent, she immediately chose to interview the Sun and Moon team, after all, they were the champion team.

Among the champion team, the most suitable interviewee is naturally Huo Yuhao.

After all, Huo Yuhao single-handedly defeated six players from the Holy Spirit Sect team, making him undoubtedly a peerless genius and a significant contribution to Sun Moon's championship victory.

She went directly to Huo Yuhao and asked, "Mr. Huo Yuhao, I am a reporter from Sun Moon Media. May I ask if you would give me the opportunity to interview you?"

We will record the interview shortly, save the recording, and broadcast it. We will also record the broadcast and distribute it throughout the Douluo Continent for all Douluo fans to watch.

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment and felt that accepting the interview could expand his influence, help him collect faith power, and also damage Shrek Academy's reputation. So he nodded and agreed to the female reporter's request.

The female reporter gave the assistant a wink, and the assistant immediately started recording.

The female reporter began interviewing Huo Yuhao: "Captain Huo, the Sun Moon team has won the championship again, while the renowned Shrek Academy team performed extremely poorly in this competition and was eliminated in the quarterfinals."

As far as I know, Shrek Academy was the team that started preparing for this competition the earliest. Could you analyze why Shrek Academy, the former champion team, has fallen to this state? Of course, I would also like to hear your analysis of why Sun Moon won the championship.

Upon hearing this question, Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, thinking to himself that this was a well-prepared move. To be honest, for the Sun Moon Empire, whether it was internal propaganda or external propaganda, it was necessary to destroy the perfect image of Shrek Academy in the minds of some people as much as possible.

For Shrek Academy itself, destroying the perfect image of Shrek Academy in the minds of some people will help to build new faith in these people in the future. Of course, Shrek Academy is not perfect to begin with. There is no need to create false information. Just present the facts. Shrek Academy has a lot of black marks.

However, in the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire, there are simply too many spiritual Shrek people. Even after experiencing various upheavals and the decline in Shrek Academy's reputation, and with some spiritual Shrek people no longer believing in Shrek Academy, there are still some who firmly trust Shrek Academy.

These people's perceptions need to be changed.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao said seriously, "How many team leaders has Shrek Academy changed in the last two competitions? Have they made any changes? It's just a change in name only!"

In the previous competition, Wang Yan was nominally the team leader, but in reality, he was just a junior teacher whose authority couldn't compare to that of Xuan Zi!

So the actual teacher in charge was Xuanzi. He made a series of outrageous decisions, including cheating, which led to Shrek Academy being forced to withdraw from the competition.

As for this competition, Shrek Academy sent a large number of team leaders, which seemed like a change, but in reality, it was not. Xuanzi was just one of the Shrek team leaders. However, Xuanzi directly attacked the Snow Demon Sect team's residence. According to his previous confession, he even wanted to attack other teams that might hinder Shrek Academy from winning the championship after attacking the Snow Demon Sect team.

In a sense, this can be considered a form of off-court cheating!

I strongly suspect that cheating is rampant at Shrek Academy. Otherwise, how could a level 98 Super Douluo have such a big mind about cheating?

I believe that cheating had a significant impact on Shrek Academy's withdrawal from the previous competition and its elimination in the quarterfinals of this competition.

After all, teams that intend to cheat from the start have already considered cheating as part of their strength. If they get caught cheating, it's tantamount to weakening that team!

To be honest, even in the original work, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect valued victory extremely much, but they basically didn't care about cheating. As long as they could win the game, what did cheating matter? Wasn't that part of their strength?

Especially in the original novel, Huo Gua was initially a good child who was determined to avenge his mother. If it weren't for the dual education he received from the History Lake Academy and the Tang Sect, how could he have become someone who chose to cheat in order to win a competition?

It can only be said that the environment can change a person.

He continued, "And I have reason to say that the Sun and Moon team won the championship. What kind of team did I lead? I led the high-quality Sun and Moon team. Every player had a very good foundation."

Moreover, everyone believed that cheating was wrong, so everyone gave it their all. That's why we beat Shrek Academy, then Tang Sect, then Holy Spirit Sect, and then no one else could beat us.

Although Huo Yuhao was well aware that the Sun Moon team's victory was primarily due to him, as the captain and in the midst of recording, he couldn't boast about his own achievements. Instead, he needed to emphasize the team's role.

The female reporter pressed further: "On the other hand, Shrek Academy's extremely skillful cheating in two consecutive competitions suggests that they may have chosen to cheat in every competition."

So, do you have any further suggestions for Shrek Academy?

Huo Yuhao said with great distress, "I advise Shrek Academy to first understand its own playing style and philosophy, be more pragmatic, and stop thinking about cheating! Cheating is a contempt for the rules of the competition! It's good to play the game seriously, why do you have to use some underhanded tricks?"

Shrek Academy attracts top students from Star Luo, Heavenly Soul, and Battle Spirit schools. Logically, it should be easy to cultivate students with considerable strength; there's no need for them to continue down the wrong path.

The female reporter nodded: "Okay, thank you for accepting our interview."

At this moment, the assistant temporarily stopped recording and took out some soul tools for broadcasting. After setting them up, the assistant said, "We can start broadcasting now."

When the screen lit up again, the male host became the main character. He said, "The Sun and Moon Team defeated the Holy Spirit Sect Team and won the championship again. This epic victory will become the biggest topic in Douluo Continent for some time to come."

Sun Moon Team captain Huo Yuhao gave us an interview, analyzing the reasons for Shrek Academy's poor performance in the last two tournaments, while Sun Moon Team won the championship again. The outspoken Captain Huo bluntly stated, "Shrek Academy's way of playing has only made them lose face!"

The next moment, the assistant skillfully switched the camera to broadcast the scene of the female reporter interviewing Huo Yuhao.

Chapter 469 Xu Tianran's Reward

After the interview, Huo Yuhao and the others went to the high platform to receive Xu Tianran's reward. After all, Huo Yuhao led the team to win the championship of this competition, which can be regarded as bringing glory to the Sun Moon Empire. As the regent, Xu Tianran naturally had to show his appreciation.

Soon, the seven members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team lined up on the high platform.

As the captain and the core of the Sun Moon team's championship victory, Huo Yuhao naturally stood in the center.

All eyes on the platform were focused on the seven players of the Sun and Moon team, with Huo Yuhao receiving the most attention.

After all, Huo Yuhao's strength displayed in the competition was truly exaggerated, making him undoubtedly the number one young soul master of the contemporary era. Some ministers of the Sun Moon Sect even began to rejoice that Huo Yuhao was now a Sun Moon person, not a Star Luo person.

If Huo Yuhao were still a Star Luo person, given enough time, the Sun Moon Empire would inevitably face an extremely formidable opponent. Even with the rapid development of soul tools, powerful soul masters would not be able to withdraw from the historical stage at this stage!

Fortunately, the Duchess was foolish and Dai Hao was short-sighted, forcing such a peerless genius to the Sun Moon Empire. Huo Yuhao will definitely become a pillar of strength in the future.

Xu Tianran sat in his wheelchair, his hands gripping the armrests, watching the seven contestants with a gentle smile on his face. He slowly said, "The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has won the championship again. This is not only the glory of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, but also the glory of the Sun Moon Empire!"

From this day forward, every member of the Sun and Moon Society will be proud of your achievements.

Your names will be recorded in history books, and many years from now, when future generations turn the pages of history books, they will still be able to find your shining names.

As regent, I should reward you all. After all, it is only right that those who have made contributions should be rewarded. If someone has made contributions to the empire and I do not reward them, then there is no need for me to continue being regent!

"Three days later, the Royal Treasury will be open to you, and each of you can receive a level-nine defensive soul tool without any level restrictions. You should be very familiar with this type of soul tool; Red Dust Blessing is a typical example."

"As for Huo Yuhao, you contributed the most and it was the hardest for you! I will give you an extra reward. Last time I made you an earl, and now I will bestow upon you the title of Duke of the Spirit Eye, which will be hereditary! Your descendants will inherit the title without having to be downgraded! You will enjoy a salary of 20 million gold soul coins every year! Furthermore, I will allow you to choose a 100,000-year soul bone from the royal treasury!"

After saying this, Xu Tianran smiled. To be honest, he did this in order to win over these geniuses, especially Huo Yuhao.

After a series of matches, he was certain that Huo Yuhao's talent was top-notch, and that he would definitely become a Limit Douluo in the future, a level nine Soul Master, and perhaps even a level ten Soul Master!

Therefore, he really hoped that Huo Yuhao could work for him.

But he also knew that only by providing such a genius with enough benefits could the other party possibly be loyal to him.

Of course, if the threat Huo Yuhao poses to him outweighs the benefits he brings, he will definitely do everything in his power to get rid of Huo Yuhao.

The players from the Sun and Moon team exchanged glances, and then they all said in unison, "Thank you, Your Highness the Regent."

Xu Tianran's smile grew even wider. He chatted with the Sun Moon contestants for a while longer, mostly praising them and expressing his hope that they would make more contributions to the Sun Moon Empire in the future.

Suddenly, Zhongli Wu's voice transmission rang in Xu Tianran's mind: "Your Highness Regent, I have something I would like to discuss with you. I will be waiting for you at the Holy Spirit Sect team's residence in the Mingyue Hotel."

Upon hearing Zhongli Wu's telepathic message, Xu Tianran still wore a smile on his face. He looked at the Sun and Moon contestants and said, "You should be having a celebration banquet now. After all, winning the championship again is something worth celebrating. I won't disturb your fun. Hall Master Jing, you can lead them away now."

"Yes, Your Highness, Regent," Jing Hongchen said, bowing.

He then led the Sun and Moon team away from the area to prepare for a victory celebration banquet.

.......

Mingdu.

Mingyue Hotel.

The Holy Spirit Sect team's residence.

Orange pushed Xu Tianran, who was in a wheelchair, into the room.

Although Ju Zi's strength is average, Ju Zi is indeed the person Xu Tianran trusts the most. Even on such an extremely important occasion, Xu Tianran is willing to bring Ju Zi along.

"Master Zhongli, what exactly did you invite me to the Mingyue Hotel to discuss?" As soon as Xu Tianran entered, he saw Zhongli Wu sitting on a chair not far away. At this moment, Zhongli Wu's face was gloomy, and he looked to be in a very bad mood.

“Your Highness Regent, I believe that with your wisdom, even if I didn’t say it outright, you should have guessed what I want to discuss with you. We can speak frankly and openly, there’s no need for us to test each other,” Zhongli Wu said calmly.

"Master Zhongli is truly a man of few words," Xu Tianran exclaimed, then changed the subject, "I guess it's about the position of Imperial Preceptor and the Holy Spirit Sect becoming the Guardian Sect of the Nation."

In Xu Tianran's view, these seem to be two separate things, but in reality they are one thing. It is simply to get the Sun Moon Empire to support the Evil Soul Masters, give them strong support for their existence, and empower them so that they no longer have to hide in the shadows.

“That’s right.” Zhongli Wu nodded, without denying it.

“But according to our previous agreement…” Xu Tianran’s face showed a troubled expression.

“Your Highness Regent, no, I should now address you as Your Majesty,” Zhongli Wu sighed. “Your Majesty, is there truly no room for maneuver in this matter?”

As per the previous agreement, as long as the Holy Spirit Sect team can win the championship in this competition, Xu Tianran will do his best to overcome the obstacles brought by Kong Deming, promote the Holy Spirit Sect as the national guardian sect, and appoint Zhongli Wu as the national advisor.

However, the Holy Spirit Sect team has not won the championship.

"This..." Xu Tianran hesitated, but he wouldn't continue, leaving Zhongli Wu's anxious heart hanging in suspense.

Although Xu Tianran also needs the power of the Holy Spirit Cult to help him unify the Douluo Continent, in Xu Tianran's view, the initiative is now in his own hands, so he will take this opportunity to gain more benefits from Zhongli Wu.

Zhongli Wu said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, cooperating with the Holy Spirit Sect is also a good thing for you. After all, the Holy Spirit Sect has many powerful figures who can help the Sun Moon Empire unify the Douluo Continent. Don't you want to become an emperor for all ages?"

For Zhongli Wu, as long as he can become the national advisor and the Holy Spirit Cult becomes the guardian deity of the nation, then half of his plan to become a god will be completed. Therefore, as long as the Holy Spirit Cult can withstand the demands that Xu Tianran will make later, he will agree to them.

Chapter 470 Shrek Academy Assassinates Royal Family Members, Irrefutable Evidence!

A look of helplessness appeared on Xu Tianran's face. He sighed deeply and said, "Sect Leader Zhongli, of course I want to become an emperor for all ages. In the process of becoming an emperor for all ages, I also need the help of the Holy Spirit Sect."

After all, the combined strength of the Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy is far too great. With the assistance of the Holy Spirit Cult, I am confident that I can shorten the time required to unify the Douluo Continent.

"There is a problem right now. Although I am confident that I can successfully ascend the throne as the Emperor of the Sun and Moon, the existence of some people will hinder my rule. What do you think we should do with these people?"

"Kill!" Zhongli Wu said succinctly.
