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

........

Mingdou Mountain Range.

Zhu Lu found Dai Hao and tearfully recounted the series of events that had just occurred. Her eyes were red and swollen. "Uncle Dai, this is what happened. Hua Bin... Hua Bin is dead!"

Dai Hao's face was extremely ugly. As the Duke of White Tiger, he trusted Shrek Academy quite a bit. After all, the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai came from Shrek Academy, and he was considered a descendant of Dai Mubai, so he naturally regarded Dai Mubai as his ancestor.

But he never expected this to happen.

"Lulu, where is Hua Bin's body?" Dai Hao asked.

"Hua Bin's body is right here." Zhu Lu tremblingly took the body out of the storage soul tool.

Looking at Dai Huabin's mutilated body, Dai Hao's breathing became rapid, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He half-squatted down, grasped Dai Huabin's icy hand, and said with a sob in his voice, "What a Shrek Academy, what a Xuanzi! A level 98 Super Douluo, yet he couldn't protect my son from the Soul King."

"This is an absolute joke! What does a level 98 Super Douluo even mean? Even ordinary Title Douluos would be easily defeated by such a powerhouse!"

Zhu Lu's eyes were filled with tears: "Uncle Dai, Hua Bin was murdered. You must avenge Hua Bin!"

Dai Hao slowly shook his head, closing his eyes in pain. "Others can seek justice from Shrek Academy, but I cannot. I am the White Tiger Duke of Xingluo, so I need to consider the bigger picture!"

The relationship between Xingluo and Shrek Academy must not be affected by this incident! When Shrek Academy sends someone to express their apology, I must accept their apology!

The Star Luo Empire still needs Shrek Academy! Once it loses Shrek Academy's support, the Sun Moon Empire will absolutely crush the Star Luo Empire should war break out!

"However, Xingluo must break free from its dependence on Shrek Academy in the future! Otherwise, what happened today could happen again! This is the tragedy of the weak! Lulu, I will take Hua Bin's body back to Xingluo City and meet His Majesty. You should come back with me!"

.........

a few days later.

Starry Palace.

Xu Jiawei watched Dai Hao's back as he left. He had already learned from Dai Hao about Dai Huabin's death and Xuanzi's actions, and expressed his condolences for Dai Huabin's death.

He sighed, a look of worry on his face. "I never expected Hua Bin to die like this. Elder Xuan was far too... careless! Can someone like that really lead Shrek Academy, and even the Douluo Three Kingdoms, onto the right path in the future?"

He fell into deep thought, deeply worried about the future of the Star Luo Empire.

A moment later, the voices of the guards could be heard outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, Wang Yan, the instructor leading the Shrek Academy team, requests an audience!"

“Shrek Academy? Then bring him over.” Xu Jiawei shouted towards the outside of the palace.

A moment later, Wang Yan of Shrek Academy was brought into the palace by Xu Jiawei's guards. Wang Yan, sitting in a wheelchair, immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Shrek Academy is currently facing a great predicament. Only five reserve players and three regular players are available to play, and those three regular players are currently seriously injured."

Shrek Academy needs your help, so we hope you can secretly adjust Shrek Academy's opponents, letting Shrek Academy fight against weaker teams for a while first!

Xu Jiawei was stunned, an expression of disbelief on his face. Wasn't this a shady operation? Shrek Academy needed this too? After losing a few genius students, you're completely out of talent?

"Teacher Wang Yan... if I do that, I'll be breaking the rules!"

"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible!" Wang Yan said, forcing himself to speak.

Chapter 53 Xu Jiawei's Scheme

Wang Yan didn't want to say such things to Xu Jiawei, but he had no choice. Shrek Academy's participating team had suffered heavy losses and its strength had declined drastically.

As is customary, the first match is the academy elimination round. Since Shrek Academy participated in the Soul Fighting Tournament, it has never been defeated in the elimination round. If such a thing were to happen, then he and Elder Xuan would indeed be completely nailed to the pillar of shame.

The five reserve team members who are willing to participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament are all slightly injured and unable to exert their full strength. Generally speaking, the academy elimination tournament is a seven-on-seven team battle. Since Ma Xiaotao and the others are seriously injured and unable to fight, they can only temporarily fill in to make up the number of people to make up seven.

Under such circumstances, the strength of the Shrek Academy team is self-evident. Therefore, he must do as Elder Xuan said and find a solution from the organizers of this Soul Battle Tournament.

Xu Jiawei was stunned for a moment, then asked helplessly, "Teacher Wang Yan, are you sure you really want to do this?"

Wang Yan said, "Your Majesty, Shrek Academy has cultivated a large number of outstanding Soul Masters for the Star Luo Empire, and the two countries have always maintained a friendly relationship. If we lose this competition, Shrek Academy's honor will undoubtedly suffer a huge blow! Therefore, please help us. This is also Elder Xuan's wish!"

Upon hearing the words "Master Xuan," Xu Jiawei pondered for a moment before saying, "If your only requirement is a championship, then I am powerless to help you."

Wang Yan clenched his fist and said, "Your Majesty, what we need is to reach the top four. As long as we reach the top four, we can barely save the academy's reputation. Then we can just explain that the academy suffered heavy losses in the encirclement and suppression of evil soul masters, so we failed to win the championship. I believe everyone will understand Shrek Academy's defeat!"

Even if Shrek Academy only makes it to the semifinals then, we will still be the true champions in the hearts of the audience!

As a teacher who advocates theory, he has already done a good job of speaking to this extent. Although he is dissatisfied with Xuanzi, he has no dissatisfaction with the academy.

Moreover, he is a teacher at Shrek Academy and receives a salary from the academy, so he must speak up for Shrek Academy when he is outside!

Xu Jiawei sighed, nodded, and said, "Alright, I promise you, I will secretly adjust the teams for you to ensure that Shrek Academy only encounters weak teams in the early stages. However, once the competition progresses to a certain point, there will be no weak teams left to remain."

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. I shall take my leave now!" After saying this, Wang Yan left immediately.

Xu Jiawei watched Wang Yan's retreating figure, lost in thought. "If we want to secretly manipulate the competition and give the weak teams to Shrek Academy, then we can only arrange for the strong teams to be given to Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. However, such obvious favoritism will definitely be noticed by the people from Sun Moon."

"However, this is also an opportunity. Shrek Academy has been so weak in this tournament that the Star Luo team might have a chance to win the championship!"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face. If the Star Luo team could win the championship, it would undoubtedly be something the whole country would celebrate.

He then slowly rose, walked to the door, and called out towards the outside of the palace: "Go and inform the princess to come to me. I have important matters to discuss with her."

"Yes, Your Majesty," the guard outside the palace immediately replied.

A moment later, Xu Jiujiu entered the palace and dismissed her guards. Then she looked at Xu Jiawei and said, "Brother, I'm still preparing for the Soul Fighting Tournament! Is there anything you want to discuss with me?"

Xu Jiawei sat in the chair and looked at Xu Jiujiu. He quickly told Xu Jiujiu about the sudden upheaval at Shrek Academy and how Wang Yan had asked him to use special means to protect the honor of Shrek Academy.

After listening to these words for a long time, a look of surprise appeared on his fair face. "Shrek Academy has actually encountered such a thing! But, in order to maintain their so-called honor, they actually want you, my brother, to pull some strings behind the scenes?"

In his heart, Shrek Academy has always been the number one soul master academy on the continent. Therefore, the name Shrek Academy has always meant invincible. But even Shrek Academy can't let go of some empty titles?

Xu Jiawei's face showed helplessness. He said in a low voice, "When I was studying at Shrek Academy, I knew that the elders valued Shrek's eternal glory very much. So, it's not surprising that Elder Xuan ordered Wang Yan to come to me for help."

Elder Xuan has really messed up this time. He couldn't even protect Hua Bin. If it weren't for the fact that Shrek Academy is so important to us, I would definitely have helped Hua Bin get an explanation, given my relationship with Dai Hao. However, for the sake of the relationship between the Star Luo Empire and Shrek Academy, I can't hold Shrek Academy accountable.

"If my relationship with Shrek Academy were to break down, just one call from their dean, and you think how many Soul Masters in the Star Luo Empire would immediately betray me?"

“Brother! Shrek Academy wouldn’t do such a thing!” Xu Jiujiu looked at Xu Jiawei with some suspicion. She felt that her brother seemed different today.

She understood what Xu Jiawei meant. In the Star Luo Empire, basically all the prominent and powerful families had members who studied at or graduated from Shrek Academy. If these people had to choose between the royal family and Shrek Academy, they would definitely choose Shrek Academy.

Xu Jiawei shook his head and retorted, "Jiujiu, you know that I admire Shrek Academy very much, and I was also a student of Shrek Academy. Therefore, I am willing to trust the elders of the Sea God Pavilion from the bottom of my heart!"

However, if we think about it from the perspective of an emperor, whether Shrek Academy would do this or not is not important. What is important is that they have the ability to overthrow the royal family without shedding blood!

There are too many students who graduate from Shrek Academy and then serve the Empire, and they all hold important positions! Could these people collude through their Shrek alumni connections and attempt to overthrow the royal family? These are things I need to think about.

To be honest, I don't really want to be emperor. If I could, I would rather let Dai Hao be emperor and I would become the Star Crown Duke. But now that I'm in this position, I need to consider the safety of the royal family!

Therefore, this competition is a golden opportunity. Shrek Academy has gradually elevated its image among Soul Masters by cultivating seven deities and winning the championship in the Soul Battle Tournament.

"And we, Xingluo, will also follow this path. If Xingluo wins the championship in this Soul Battle Tournament, we can attract more talented Soul Masters to join the Empire!"

"Royal brother! I understand, I will do my best! For Xingluo, and even more so for the royal family!" Xu Jiujiu's fair face showed an extremely serious expression.

Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "Jiujiu, of course I believe you will do your best. However, you are one of the few Star Crown Martial Soul inheritors in the royal family."

Recently, I obtained a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo from a powerful figure in the Sun Moon Empire. If you're willing, your elder brother will help you transform this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo into your second martial soul!

"At that time, you will have twin martial souls!"

Chapter 54 You seem to be going a bit too far.

Xu Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised: "Royal brother, this... you want me to become a Twin Martial Soul Master?"

"Well, it depends on whether you're willing, Jiu Jiu. If you are, your royal brother will devote all the power of the Star Luo Empire to try to cultivate you into a Super Douluo or a Limit Douluo with twin martial souls." Xu Jiawei stared at Xu Jiu Jiu, waiting for her answer.

After a long while, he shook his head and then began to analyze, “Brother, even if I become a Twin Martial Soul Master, it won’t really make much difference. Although Twin Martial Souls are rare in history, they are not nonexistent. Among these people, how many can become Super Douluo or even Limit Douluo?”

Even if I were willing to accept your plan, Your Majesty, it would still be extremely difficult to train me into a Super Douluo or Limit Douluo.

Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire will inevitably wage war against the Douluo Three Kingdoms in the future; they are simply accumulating strength now. Rather than letting me become a Twin Martial Soul, I'd rather think about how to utilize this 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo to inflict even more severe damage on the Sun Moon Empire.”

Xu Jiawei fell into thought. After a moment, he said, "Jiujiu, you're right. I now have a plan to use a 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo to target the Sun Moon Empire."

If my plan proceeds smoothly, the Sun Moon Empire's Mingde Hall will inevitably suffer a severe blow one day, and we will benefit from it! We will also have more breathing room!

"Your Majesty's insight is brilliant! You truly are a wise ruler!" Xu Jiujiu said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei stood up from his chair, put his hands behind his back, and said confidently, "Now only Jiu Jiu knows my thoughts, while Ri Yue does not. They are in the light, and we are in the dark. The advantage is in my hands!"

By the way, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team has already arrived in Star Luo City, right? Jiu Jiu, send someone to closely monitor their every move!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

.......

Starry Sky Forest.

Jing Hongchen carried Huo Yuhao at high speed and said, "Yuhao, your soul power has reached level 30, so I will assist you in hunting soul beasts so that you can obtain your third soul ring and become a Soul Master!"

However, are you really not considering going back to the Sun and Moon to find the Evil Eye Clan?

Although the Sun Moon Empire is not as rich in soul beast resources as the three kingdoms of the original Douluo Continent, the Evil Eye clan is a specialty of our region. Moreover, the Evil Eye Tyrant is our totem!

Before coming to Star Luo City, Huo Yuhao had been consuming rare and precious herbs without side effects under the academy's arrangement, which allowed his soul power to rapidly increase to level 30. However, once Huo Yuhao became a Soul Master, if they did not want to deplete his potential, they would have to reduce his consumption of those rare and precious herbs.

After all, the premise that those rare and precious herbs have no side effects is that they are only consumed once or in small amounts.

Of course, in the Douluo world view, there is a very important indicator to measure whether consuming too many rare and precious materials will damage one's potential—the Tang Sect's Xuan Tian Bao Lu (a collection of rare and precious materials).

If the Xuan Tian Bao Lu says that something is good to eat, then it is absolutely good. Moreover, no matter how exaggerated the effect is, it will not damage one's potential. A typical example is the Qiankun Zaohua Pill, which has an extremely exaggerated effect.

Huo Yuhao immediately refused: "Dean, no need. I currently want a spirit beast with a relatively pure spiritual attribute as my third spirit ring."

The Evil Eye clan doesn't really fit the requirements. After all, based on what I've read in books, most Evil Eyes possess mental attributes, but purely mental attributes, or those primarily focused on mental attributes, are very rare. Most Evil Eyes possess multiple attributes.

In the original novel, Huo Yuhao killed a ten-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant in the Demon Forest, which directly attracted a one-hundred-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant with spiritual attributes. Huo Yuhao then killed it, which directly angered the Evil Eye Tyrant ruler.

This also shows how rare pure spiritual attribute evil eyes are. Among the evil eye clan, the purer the attribute, the greater the future potential of the evil eye.

A pure mental attribute Evil Eye, regardless of its strength, will definitely attract the attention of the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, since the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord himself only possesses mental attributes.

You need to understand that the Douluo world is a typical world based on bloodlines. If you have a noble bloodline or a powerful martial soul, then you are powerful.

If your bloodline is weak or your martial spirit is subpar, your strength will be lacking.

The most typical examples are the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Ice Silkworm clan. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has a noble bloodline. If it has ten thousand years of cultivation, it can contend with ordinary Title Douluo. As for a certain million-year Ice Silkworm... it is really dragged down by its race and bloodline.

However, Ji Juechen is an exception. It is quite an achievement for someone with innate soul power at level three to eventually become a titled Douluo, even if they took drugs.

Moreover, during this time, Electrolux has already researched how to create soul spirits. Therefore, the third soul ring he obtains this time will appear in the form of a soul spirit. If he obtains another Evil Eye soul spirit this time, it will be the same as the Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.
