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

The students in the participating teams are among the most outstanding young people in those cities, and they will become high-ranking members of these forces in the future.

These people will not become the pillars of the empire in the future.

However, in their respective cities, these academies and sects wield enormous influence, acting like local tyrants.

If Huo Yuhao can gain further recognition from these people, it means that the Spirit Pagoda's development momentum will be even better.

Huo Yuhao himself can also benefit from this.

Xiao Hongchen felt he didn't deserve the championship; in his opinion, his contribution to the team was far less than Huo Yuhao's.

But since we've already won the championship, we can't take it back.

In addition, he received help from Huo Yuhao on a regular basis, which greatly improved his strength.

He naturally hoped that Huo Yuhao could gain more benefits.

Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then said, "I will attend this lecture and am willing to interact with these students during the lecture and answer some questions."

In any case, attending lectures can further expand one's influence, and with greater influence, the plan to collect the power of faith will proceed more smoothly.

“Okay, Yuhao, I’ll take you to the principal’s office now.” Xiao Hongchen nodded.

He then immediately took Huo Yuhao to find Jing Hongchen and told him about it. Jing Hongchen then gave orders to the others to set up the lecture venue as soon as possible.

.......

In the afternoon, at the Grand Auditorium of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

The once empty seats are now packed with people.

A large number of students from other sects and academies within the empire were excitedly watching the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team on the distant high platform.

Most of the students' attention was focused on Huo Yuhao.

After all, Huo Yuhao's performance in this competition was extremely impressive, and he was not on the same level as the other members of the team at all.

Huo Yuhao's contribution to Sun Moon's victory is undeniable, and every member of Sun Moon who watched the match will remember it.

At this moment, some students began to whisper among themselves, and a cacophony of noise arose.

"Huo Yuhao truly deserves this championship; the other contestants are no match for him at all."

However, the other members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team didn't get many chances to fight. I think if I were to play, I could also follow in Huo Yuhao's footsteps and win a championship. This time, I really could do it myself.

Chapter 485 Giving them a little shock from the sun and moon

"That's not entirely true. The other members of the Sun and Moon team also played a role, but their role was not as significant as Huo Yuhao's."

At that moment, the female host on the platform looked down at the audience and, feeling that the conversation was too noisy, she used her amplified soul-guided device to say, "The lecture is about to begin. Please keep quiet."

The students quickly stopped talking and became quiet.

The host's face showed satisfaction, and then he began to introduce the players of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team one by one. Every time a player was introduced, the students below would applaud, and for a moment, the applause was thunderous.

Because the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had won the championship again, all the students present knew the members of the champion team. However, in such a formal occasion as a lecture, the introduction of the champion team members naturally had to follow the established lecture etiquette in the Douluo Continent.

Then the host started chatting with Huo Yuhao. The conversation basically consisted of the host first praising Huo Yuhao, and then asking him questions about his daily life, Soul Master cultivation, and Soul Tool making, in order to shorten the distance between Huo Yuhao and the students present.

As for the other team members, the host also chatted with them a bit, but the focus of the conversation was still on Huo Yuhao, after all, Huo Yuhao is the captain of this team and currently the strongest of the younger generation in Douluo Continent.

Judging from both the topic's popularity and the level of interest shown by the students in the audience, Huo Yuhao should be the focus of this lecture.

After a brief chat, the female host said, "Alright, now you can ask Captain Huo some questions, and Captain Huo will answer them one by one."

Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, indicating that the students could begin asking him questions.

The students in the audience area all smiled, looking forward to Huo Yuhao's answer to the question. Of course, the students who were responsible for asking the questions were basically carefully selected by various academies and sects.

After all, although the Sun Moon Empire is a relatively tolerant and open empire, there are still some minefields. There are some topics that cannot be touched and absolutely cannot be said in public, such as the unfortunate death of a certain Sun Moon Emperor, his concubine, and his child due to food poisoning.

Although this story sounds far-fetched, everyone openly accepts the cause of death and doesn't argue about its veracity.

If students are allowed to decide who asks questions based on how quickly they raise their hands, and some impetuous students choose to ask questions that should never be asked, it could create an awkward atmosphere and potentially have a negative impact on the various academies and sects.

Soon, a dark-skinned male student who looked like a member of the Sun and Moon Noble family slowly stood up and asked, "Captain Huo, I have a question. The people from Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire have committed numerous crimes in the Sun and Moon Empire. They are simply heinous."

A war is inevitable between the Sun Moon Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and Shrek Academy! However, the three kingdoms of Douluo, under the influence of Shrek Academy, have always been closely allied. Therefore, once war breaks out, the Sun Moon Empire will inevitably face Shrek Academy and the three kingdoms of Douluo. Can our Sun Moon Empire win?

Upon hearing this, everyone's attention turned to Huo Yuhao. In their eyes, Huo Yuhao was the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire, and was favored by Elder Kong, who had recently reappeared in the public eye. He was destined to become the strongest person in the Sun Moon Empire in the future.

Therefore, given Huo Yuhao's status, he must have possessed a great deal of intelligence that only the top members of the Sun Moon Sect could know, and his judgment of the situation would naturally be clearer.

For the various academies and sects within the Sun Moon Empire, this war sweeping across the continent is undoubtedly terrifying. While there are opportunities to profit from it, there are also enormous risks involved.

A single misstep could destroy an entire business.

Therefore, they were eager to know how confident the true rulers of the empire were about this war that could break out at any time.

Huo Yuhao knew he should give these people confidence in victory, so he smiled slightly and said, "According to the intelligence I have, our Sun Moon Empire will definitely win, and not just a small win, but a huge and decisive victory!"

My judgment is based primarily on the fact that the Sun Moon Empire is teeming with talent, possesses extremely advanced soul-guiding technology, and is poised for future breakthroughs. Therefore, the Sun Moon Empire's overall national strength is steadily increasing. If a war were to break out between the Sun Moon Empire, the Douluo Three Kingdoms, and Shrek Academy, it would undoubtedly give them a small shock!

To be honest, because of my help to the Sun Moon Empire, the Sun Moon Empire is even stronger than in the original story. Moreover, as time goes by, the Sun Moon Empire will become stronger and stronger, and defeating Shrek Academy and the three great empires will not be a problem at all.

The only one we need to be careful of is perhaps the Buddha Tang.

After all, Tang Buddha regarded Douluo Star as his own private server, and he would definitely try every means to intervene and prevent the Sun Moon Empire from unifying the Douluo Continent.

However, by the time Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy were on the verge of collapse and Tang Buddha stepped in to turn the tide, he would already possess extremely powerful strength, and would naturally be able to solve the problem of Tang Buddha's arrival.

Hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with excitement. The dark-skinned man sat down with satisfaction. Then, a fair-skinned female student stood up from her chair and asked, "Captain Huo, I've never been to Shrek City, but recently there have been rumors circulating in the Empire that the living standards of the people of Shrek City are actually better than those of the people of the Sun Moon Empire. Are these rumors true or false?"

"It's fake. This rumor must have been fabricated by some people in the Douluo Three Kingdoms or Shrek Academy, and deliberately spread to the Sun Moon Empire in an attempt to shake public morale," Huo Yuhao said firmly.

Then his voice gradually rose: "Of course, I have never been to Shrek City, and people may not believe me if I say this, but some of my teammates have been to Shrek Academy as exchange students and have some knowledge of the specific prices, so they can testify to what I am saying."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Hongchen standing to the side.

To be honest, because of its leading position in the field of soul tools, even Shrek Academy and the Douluo Three Kingdoms, which have a bad relationship with the Sun Moon Empire, have to hold their noses and purchase them. As a result, Sun Moon soul tools are extremely popular, which makes the Sun Moon Empire extremely wealthy. It can spend a lot of money to improve people's livelihood and keep the wealth among the people.

After all, only when the people of the Sun and Moon have money can they consume, which is beneficial to the economic development of the Sun and Moon.

Xiao Hongchen immediately said, "Yuhao is right. I can say with certainty that the people of Shrek City are definitely not as well off as the people of Sun Moon City in terms of living standards! After all, the prices in Shrek City are indeed quite high for the people."

Chapter 486: When referring to someone's job title or position!

Looking at the students, Xiao Hongchen continued, "Shrek City is the city with the highest prices on the Douluo Continent. Taking soul tools as an example, Shrek Academy's own soul tools are not actually selling well."

Therefore, most of the merchants in Shrek City sell soul tools from the Sun Moon Empire. In order to cope with the ever-increasing rent and to seize more profits, the merchants will unite to raise the prices to an extremely high level.

Of course, as far as I know, there are also some unscrupulous merchants who even use Shrek Soul Tools to impersonate Sun and Moon Soul Tools, passing off inferior products as superior ones and deceiving unsuspecting customers.

The prices of the soul tools produced by Mingdetang were naturally raised even higher. Even so, people were still eager to buy Sun and Moon soul tools. After all, what people value in soul tools is their effectiveness and quality.

Although some Soul Masters remain stubbornly convinced that Soul Masters don't need external tools like Soul Guidance Devices, one day they will regret it.

"Of course, soul tools are only a part of life, not the whole thing. For anyone, the first thing is always filling their stomach. Based on my experience as an exchange student at Shrek Academy, I can confirm that all the food in Shrek City is ridiculously expensive."

To ensure that some impoverished students wouldn't starve when they first enrolled, Shrek Academy's cafeteria boasted the lowest food prices in Shrek City.

"However, even so, a plate of stir-fried vegetables and white rice at Shrek Academy's cafeteria costs two copper soul coins. Two copper soul coins can buy a meal with two meat dishes and one vegetable dish in Mingdu! In conclusion, I can say that earning twenty gold soul coins a year in Mingdu is better than earning thirty gold soul coins a year in Shrek City!"

Upon hearing this, the students applauded enthusiastically, and the female student who had asked the question expressed her gratitude before returning to her seat.

Then students started asking questions, mainly about Huo Yuhao. When the lecture ended, the students left satisfied. Some reporters recorded the content of the lecture and spread it to various parts of Sun Moon in order to expand its influence.

......

Mingdou Mountain Range.

late at night.

The camp where Duke White Tiger was located was still brightly lit.

Dai Hao took off his armor, dressed in white, sat in the main seat, and began to read a letter filled with the lecture content of the Sun and Moon Team.

The letter originated from a spy sent by the Star Luo Empire to the Sun Moon Empire.

Because of the poor relationship between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, and because the Star Luo Empire borders the Sun Moon Empire, there is a possibility of another large-scale war breaking out. Naturally, news related to the Sun Moon Empire is something that the Star Luo upper class is paying close attention to.

Therefore, in order to keep track of certain movements within the Sun Moon Empire, the Star Luo Empire dispatched a large number of spies to the Sun Moon Empire to gather various important information.

Of course, to this day, none of these spies have been able to climb to a high position in the Sun and Moon Sect.

Some highly confidential information simply cannot be obtained by the Star Luo spies.

This was a source of great regret for Xingluo's top management, including Dai Hao.

However, after the competition five years ago, at Dai Hao's behest, several spies trained by the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and loyal to him focused on gathering information related to Huo Yuhao. Naturally, this letter containing the lecture content was delivered to him urgently.

After reading the letter, Dai Hao frowned. He was in a bad mood because, based on the content of the lecture, he could tell that his son, Huo Yuhao, had been completely controlled by the evil people of the Sun Moon Empire, which was why he had been speaking for the Sun Moon Empire during the lecture.

After the other party severed their father-son relationship during the competition, he thought about it and felt that something was wrong.

Although his neglect of Yun'er indirectly led to a series of tragedies, he had already apologized and his reputation had been damaged because of this incident. Why wouldn't Yuhao forgive him? Why did he sever ties with him instead?

Does she really have to cry in front of Yun'er's grave in front of Yuhao for him to forgive her? No, impossible. The real Yuhao would never let her lose face like that.

Yuhao is her and Yun'er's child. Although Yuhao has never met her since he was a child, given Yun'er's personality, she would never raise Yuhao to be someone who hates his father. Instead, she would praise herself in front of Yuhao and constantly build up her image as a great father to him.

As Yun'er's childhood sweetheart and maid, no one understands Yun'er's personality better than herself, so her judgment must be correct.

The real Yuhao would forgive himself as soon as he heard his own apology, and might even hug himself and cry, saying that he had wronged him. The current Yuhao has definitely been controlled by those evil people of the Sun Moon Empire and has been completely brainwashed.

"The entire responsibility lies with the Sun Moon Empire! You're the ones who controlled Yuhao!" He grew angrier with each thought, and instinctively raised his left hand, slamming it down on the table. With a loud bang, items on the table jumped up and then fell, some even crashing to the ground.

Fortunately, this was a specially made soul-guided table. Even with a heavy hammer blow, it did not break without Dai Hao using his soul skills. However, the loud sound of the hammer hitting the table did reach outside the tent.

"Father!"

Dai Yueheng, who was guarding outside the tent, rushed in with several personal guards, looking at Dai Hao with a nervous expression.

As the marshal of the empire, Dai Hao's presence in the camp would naturally alert the guards outside. Dai Yueheng was also a member of the guards. Dai Hao made this arrangement because he had already lost Dai Huabin and did not want to lose Dai Yueheng as well.

By keeping Dai Yueheng by his side, he could protect him. Although he risked being assassinated by the Sun Moon Empire, Dai Yueheng, as his son, had already joined the army and was certainly being watched by the Sun Moon Empire. Rather than letting Dai Yueheng be captured by the Sun Moon people and used to threaten him, forcing him to choose between family and the empire, it was better to keep him by his side.

Dai Hao was in a bad mood at the moment, and his mood worsened after seeing Dai Yueheng. Dai Yueheng knew about Huo Yuhao's existence but never told him, which is why Yuhao went to the Sun Moon Empire and was eventually controlled by it. He even stood up for the Sun Moon Empire in a lecture!

His anger, which had previously had nowhere to go, now found an outlet.

He frowned, his face full of anger, and scolded, "How many times have I told you, use your job title when you're at work! At home, you call me father, and I won't argue with you, but now that you're out of the house, in the army, what do you call me?"

Dai Yueheng sensed something was wrong. Seeing Dai Hao's obviously strange expression, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Marshal!"
