Everyone's attention immediately focused on Professor Chen Dachui. The audience was mostly from the Sun and Moon faction, and they were naturally very interested in the war situation, hoping to hear a professional scholar analyze it.
Chen Dachui pondered and said, "As far as I know, according to the internal estimates of the Sun Moon Army, it should be able to unify the Douluo Continent in two and a half years at most. Perhaps some people find this hard to believe."
However, I must reveal some information here: the Sun and Moon military has not yet used its full strength. When the military does use its full strength, all the enemy's resistance will be in vain.
The empire won the war recently, and it will continue to win wars in the future; the only difference will be whether the victories are small, medium, or large!
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao thought that there was indeed some truth to what he said. After all, in a sense, the Sun Moon Army had not yet used its full strength.
Taking the humanoid soul tool as an example, as far as he knows, the research on the array on the humanoid soul tool has made breakthrough progress, and a large number of humanoid soul tools are in production. Once they are handed over to the soldiers, they can naturally greatly enhance the soldiers' combat power!
It should be noted that, through the Fate-Changing Technique, many ordinary soldiers in the Sun Moon Army have now cultivated soul power and become soul masters!
Moreover, these humanoid soul tools are made of forged metal, and in terms of strength alone, they are far more powerful than the humanoid soul tools in the original work.
For Huo Yuhao, the breakthrough in soul guidance arrays was also good news. After all, the reason why his Ice Extreme War God Armor could not be called a true battle armor was largely due to the flaws in its arrays.
For battle armor, formations are undoubtedly of utmost importance.
Although the current formation does not yet meet his needs, progress is always a good thing.
Before long, he will be able to completely renovate the formation inside the Ice Extreme War God Armor, thus truly allowing the battle armor from ten thousand years later to travel back in time and appear in this era.
The female host continued, "Professor Chen Dachui, the organizers are recording today's lecture using a recording soul guide device, and are preparing to distribute the recordings among the enemy to give them a little shock from the Sun Moon Scholars. Your lecture is about to end today. Is there anything you would like to say to the enemy?"
Although the organizer is a chamber of commerce, the fact that they could invite a scholar like Professor Chen Dachui to Mingdu must have been at the behest of important figures within the empire. Today's lecture is not only to strengthen the confidence of the Sun and Moon people, but also to shake the enemy's will to resist. After all, winning hearts and minds is the best policy.
While it's impossible to shake everyone's will to resist through this method, some people with weak wills will definitely be affected, which is tantamount to indirectly helping the Sun and Moon Army to win the war.
Teacher Chen Dachui looked at the recording soul tool and said with a smile, "Our Sun Moon Empire is thriving! If anyone is willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light, they can obtain Sun Moon citizenship. But if you resist stubbornly, what awaits you is a head-on blow from the Sun Moon Empire!"
The fans were immediately filled with enthusiasm, and the entire venue erupted in applause.
The staff then turned off the recording device, and the lecture ended. However, the enthusiastic fans still crowded the area, trying to continue their passionate interaction with Teacher Chen Dachui.
Meng Hongchen pulled Huo Yuhao along, walking against the surging crowd, and left this place with great difficulty.
After walking a distance from the bustling central exhibition booth, she yawned as she walked: "Junior Brother Yuhao, I've been so engrossed in researching soul tools for the past few days, standing the whole time without even sleeping. After browsing around for a while and listening to the lecture, I'm so sleepy I can't stand it anymore, and my legs are so sore. I want to take a nap and get some rest. Can you take me home?"
As she spoke, her face showed obvious fatigue, and she looked exhausted both physically and mentally. In fact, Huo Yuhao could sense Meng Hongchen's current thoughts.
Because his mental strength was very powerful, and some of it had even been transformed into divine consciousness, and Meng Hongchen had no resistance to him, his intentions were now completely exposed.
Meng Hongchen's idea was simple: "Using this excuse, I'll have Junior Brother Yuhao carry me back later. That way, we can get closer to each other."
Hmph, thankfully those highly competitive guys aren't in Mingdu.
In short, this is a golden opportunity; the first move is always better. Once I've built a close enough relationship with junior Yuhao, I can easily trick him into sleeping with me!
In Meng Hongchen's view, Huo Yuhao had a difficult childhood, his mother died early, and his father was a scoundrel. Therefore, in some things, he was not like an ordinary nobleman. No one taught him, so he should be a simple person.
After sensing the other person's thoughts, Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "I treat you like a senior, and you actually lust after my body?"
He deliberately teased Meng Hongchen, so he said with a serious face, "What you said makes sense. How about this, we wait here for the dean to return, and then we can all go back to the academy together. This will also ensure our personal safety."
Meng Hongchen was somewhat taken aback, thinking that if her grandfather came, wouldn't that ruin her plans? Although she wasn't planning to force things right now, having him carry her back was part of her plan to get him used to physical contact.
Chapter 652: Critically Experiencing the Senior's "Care"!
Judging from Grandpa's behavior, the other party should be supporting him.
But wasn't the reason Grandpa created this opportunity for him to be alone with Yuhao so that he could get closer to him?
Her face darkened, and she waved her hand in refusal, saying, "No, Grandpa is very busy. He's meeting with an old friend he hasn't seen in many years, so he probably won't be coming back."
Besides, Grandpa has his own life to live. As his granddaughter, I can't be so selfish as to only think about myself. I should also think more about Grandpa!
Huo Yuhao's face showed approval: "Senior, you're right. So what should we do?"
Meng Hongchen glanced at Huo Yuhao and said, "Junior Brother Yuhao, tell me, how does your senior sister usually treat you?"
Huo Yuhao thought about it carefully and said, "Very good!"
"Just good? Among the girls you know, isn't your senior the one who treats you the best?" Meng Hongchen narrowed her eyes slightly, a dangerous glint in them.
“Uh…that’s true.” Huo Yuhao’s expression turned serious, and he decided to go along with Meng Hongchen’s words, since there was no harm in doing so.
"Then shouldn't you do something? For example, carry your exhausted senior back to the academy so she can relax a bit? If you refuse even something like this to help me, I'll be very sad!" Meng Hongchen said, her voice gradually lowering. She released Huo Yuhao's hand, looked at him, and her eyes revealed a mixture of expectation and trepidation.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao did not choose to continue teasing her. After all, there is a limit to teasing. He turned around, with his back to Meng Hongchen, half-squatted down, and said softly, "Senior, come on up, I'll carry you back."
Seeing this, Meng Hongchen was overjoyed. She rushed over and gently leaned her whole body on Huo Yuhao's body, moving her hands forward to cross them in front of Huo Yuhao's chest: "Okay, carry me back."
Huo Yuhao grunted in response. He grabbed Meng Hongchen's legs to prevent her from falling, slowly straightened up, and then took steps forward.
Although it is February, the prosperous capital city of Ming is not cold in terms of temperature. After all, among the major empires, the climate of the Sun and Moon Empire has always been relatively hot.
At this moment, the soft touch from behind was stimulating Huo Yuhao's nerves, and his hands also felt the delicate and smooth skin. Coupled with Meng Hongchen's fragrant breath in his ear, he was immediately a little distracted.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao immediately chose to mobilize the soul power within his body and control the surging of his blood and qi, thus resolving the current problem.
Of course, because he was carrying Meng Hongchen on his back, his hands were still wrapped around her legs, so there was bound to be some skin contact. And carrying someone on his back would naturally be a bit bumpy and wouldn't be very smooth.
This caused his hand to slip slightly, and even Meng Hongchen could not maintain his balance, sometimes leaning forward and sometimes leaning back, like a small boat bobbing on a lake.
Therefore, when Huo Yuhao carried Meng Hongchen back to the academy, he could only "force" to critically experience the care given to him by his senior.
.......
In the distance, moonlight flowed like water across the stone path. Jing Hongchen sat in a pavilion, his eyes fixed on the scene on the soul guide monitoring screen. He let out a long sigh, a look of relief on his face.
He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Finally got it on your back! I was so anxious just now. Xiaomeng, well done! No wonder you're my granddaughter, you're so smart!"
In fact, he had been observing Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen's interactions, but to prevent Huo Yuhao, who had strong mental power, from discovering this, he even activated the soul guide monitoring to observe.
This thing is actually an enhanced version of the soul-guided light screens found in auction houses. Due to the rapid advancement of soul-guided technology, its applications are becoming increasingly widespread.
As the head of Mingde Hall, he was naturally a big figure in the Sun Moon Empire, and mobilizing the surrounding soul guides for monitoring was not a problem for him.
Xiao Hongchen sighed. Although he felt that his sister and Huo Yuhao's relationship had made some progress, which made him quite gratified.
But for some reason, as the older brother, he felt a little uneasy. To be honest, he couldn't understand it at the time.
Clearly, in his heart, if Meng were to marry Huo Yuhao, he would definitely offer his blessings, since Huo Yuhao would undoubtedly be the best match for Meng.
But this strange feeling had been lingering in his mind for a while, making him feel somewhat odd.
He told Jing Hongchen about his feeling, and Jing Hongchen slapped Xiao Hongchen on the head with considerable force. Although it didn't injure him, Xiao Hongchen immediately felt the pain, grimaced, and said aggrievedly, "Grandpa, what are you doing!"
"Hmph, you're always thinking about nonsense, and you never ask me for advice on how to find a wife. You deserve a beating!" Jing Hongchen said with dissatisfaction.
He knew that his grandson had always been proud and would say things that were annoying or even hurtful. He was always obsessed with winning and losing, and was rather oblivious to a range of emotions such as family, love, and friendship.
Therefore, before Yuhao arrived at this academy, Xiaoxiao, with his arrogant attitude alone, was someone who couldn't make friends. As for those so-called underlings, they weren't Xiaoxiao's friends at all.
They only value Xiaoxiao's background, strength, and the resources she controls.
Xiao Hongchen, with her neck stiff, continued to ask, "But I just don't know why this strange feeling keeps welling up inside me. I want Grandpa to help me understand it. You've been through this before, you know more than I do, that's why I thought of asking you."
Jing Hongchen glared and puffed out his beard: "What else could it be? It's just that if Xiaomeng marries Yuhao in the future and has another family, you, as her brother who has been with her all these years, are afraid that Xiaomeng will be bullied by others if she's not around, and you can't bear to part with your family!"
"Don't you know what kind of person Yuhao is? If Xiaomeng were with Yuhao, she would never be bullied. You're simply not distinguishing between the others and Yuhao!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen remained silent for a moment before finally nodding: "I see, Grandpa, you know so much. I think I understand what you mean."
He continued, "Grandpa, Yuhao and Xiaomeng have both gone back. When should we go back?"
Although I don't know why the people from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School came to the academy this time, I think they should bring considerable benefits to the academy and even the empire. Receiving them should be a very important matter.
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the three researchers.
It was them; they just reported on the arrival of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School group at the academy.
Chapter 653 Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty
Jing Hongchen nodded and subconsciously analyzed, "Then let's go back and sound them out first. According to the intelligence I received, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School sent a powerful expert to help the allied forces, but now they've sent someone over to discuss things with us. Maybe they're trying to hedge their bets."
Throughout history, many families or sects have done this when faced with choices concerning their future survival, in order to avoid complete annihilation. However, hedging their bets is not an easy task.
Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen felt that his grandfather made sense, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay."
So the group chose to quickly return to the academy. After a while, Jing Hongchen entered the academy's reception room. The bald researcher who had been accompanying the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School group immediately stood up and said with a respectful expression, "Hall Master, you've arrived."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
"It's no hardship for the Sun and Moon Empire!" the bald researcher said instinctively, somewhat excited.
Jing Hongchen laughed heartily and waved his hand: "Alright, you can leave now. I need to discuss some things with these guests from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School who have come from afar."
"Yes, Master!" The bald researcher nodded and then strode away.
Jing Hongchen's gaze fell on Ning Tian, who was at the center of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect group, and he teased with a smile, "Young Sect Master Ning, I only witnessed your heroic figure during the competition before, but now I have the honor of communicating with you face to face."
Hearing the other person's teasing words, Ning Tian felt a little embarrassed. She thought to herself that she had no heroic bearing whatsoever and had no outstanding performances to show for herself in the competition.
Although she knew the other party was just saying something to ease the tension, she still felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was young and her skin was naturally not as thick as that of an older, stronger person like Xuanzi.
She waved her hand and said, "Master Jing, let's talk about business first."
"Important business?" Jing Hongchen sat down in the chair and looked at Ning Tian opposite him. "Alright, go ahead and speak."
"Our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School wishes to engage in deeper cooperation with the Sun Moon Empire, hoping to help the Sun Moon Empire unify the Douluo Continent," Ning Tian said solemnly.
"Help us unify the Douluo Continent?" Jing Hongchen deliberately feigned doubt. "Young Master Ning, but I clearly received intelligence that your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has already sent people to support the Allied Forces. It is estimated that in a while, the experts of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will take action against the Sun Moon Army. Under such circumstances, can I still trust you?"
He laid out the biggest problem facing the so-called deeper cooperation directly.
If this issue is not resolved, cooperation will be difficult to make progress.
Ning Tian looked helpless and patiently explained, "If possible, I certainly don't want to wage war against the Sun Moon Empire. After all, in my opinion, the Sun Moon Empire is powerful and will surely win this war in the future. The sooner we support the Sun Moon Empire, the greater the benefits the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School can gain from it."
However, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is a sect, and as its young sect leader, I naturally don't have complete control over all sect affairs. This leads to a problem: there are always people within the sect who have different opinions from me.
Of course, she couldn't reveal everything that happened at the sect meeting. She only shared her current views, because as the young sect leader, her primary concern was the interests of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Hearing Ning Tian's words, Jing Hongchen nodded, his face showing sudden realization, and said with emotion, "I see. However, Young Sect Master Ning, I need to see your sincerity."
“Sincerity?” Ning Tian frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed. “Master Jing, we can purchase a large number of Sun and Moon Soul Tools to provide financial and resource support to the Sun and Moon Empire. You can completely trust the resources of our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.”
Jing Hongchen shook his head: "That's not the sincerity I'm talking about. In fact, there's never been a good thing in this world where you can hedge your bets. You either support the Sun Moon Empire or support the Allied Forces. There's no other way."
Ning Tian vehemently denied it: "We did not hedge our bets."
"Really not, Young Sect Master Ning?"
