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

We won the championship, and when we returned home, we were treated like heroes!

Since the inception of the Soul Fighting Tournament, the Sun Moon Empire has never won the championship. Our victory means breaking historical records.

Chapter 87 Yan Shaozhe: It's just a petty person getting their way!

Ma Rulong looked at Huo Yuhao and said approvingly, "Not bad. Although Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen did play a huge role, the key to victory in this competition was still Junior Brother Yuhao. You played an irreplaceable role."

As for Ma Rulong, he had considered that if Huo Yuhao did not provide Xu Jiujiu's information, the Sun Moon Team's situation might be somewhat dangerous.

After all, Xu Jiujiu's absolute defense soul tool and Star Guardian are both very suitable for dividing the battlefield. If he is restricted by the absolute defense soul tool, he knows he will not be able to escape unless he uses the Sword of Judgment.

The cost of wielding the Sword of Judgment is too high; he would never normally use such a thing unless for the glory of the Empire and the Academy.

......

Jing Hongchen walked to the vicinity of the Sun and Moon Team, preparing to praise the members of the team.

Just then, a voice came from behind him, "Master Jing, please wait, I have something to discuss with you."

Jing Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and saw Yan Shaozhe. To be honest, Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, was too famous, so even though Jing Hongchen had no prior contact with him, he could recognize him immediately.

According to the intelligence of the Sun Moon Empire, Yan Shaozhe is actually considered a very dangerous figure.

A smile appeared on Jing Hongchen's face, and he said loudly, "Dean Yan, you can speak frankly, there's no need to beat around the bush."

If you're here to congratulate our Sun & Moon team on winning the Soul Fighting Tournament, then I appreciate your congratulations.

Yan Shaozhe stiffened. He felt that if he had to describe Jing Hongchen's current state in one word, it would be "a petty person who has achieved success." This person was somewhat similar to some people who had never been able to catch a fish for years, but then suddenly had a stroke of luck, caught a big fish, and then showed it off everywhere.

He thought to himself that if it weren't for Elder Xuan's mistake in leading the team, the champion of this Soul Battle Tournament would still be Shrek Academy, not Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

However, in competitions, results ultimately matter, so Yan Shaozhe couldn't refute the other party at this moment.

Yan Shaozhe said with a smile, "It is indeed something to celebrate that the Sun and Moon Team won the championship. Master Jing, you have a group of excellent students!"

Regardless of what I was thinking, we hadn't completely fallen out yet, and I still had a mission to complete, so I naturally had to give the other party some face.

Jing Hongchen felt relieved. For many years, the Sun Moon Empire had been criticized for not having won a single championship. Now that Huo Yuhao and his group had won the championship, it was a great honor for every member of the Sun Moon Empire. He felt that when he discussed the Soul Fighting Tournament with the Shrek Academy students, he could involuntarily straighten his back a bit.

Jing Hongchen said, "Dean Yan, you came to see me, it can't be just to offer your congratulations, can it?"

Yan Shaozhe said, "That's right. Shrek Academy wants to hold an exchange student program with Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which will benefit the students' exchange and learning."

Jing Hongchen frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Dean Yan, you are right. The time is easy to set. However, I need to consider the selection of exchange students for a while longer."

Yan Shaozhe paused for a moment, then his gaze passed over Jing Hongchen and landed on Huo Yuhao. "Master Jing, I just watched the competition, and I think Huo Yuhao is quite an interesting kid. How about we decide on a candidate first?"

Yan Shaozhe felt that Huo Yuhao was a genius, and because of his background, there was a possibility of winning him over. Once Huo Yuhao arrived at Shrek Academy, he would definitely be captivated by the academy's millennia-old heritage, and perhaps he would become a student of Shrek Academy.

This is also a good thing for the development of the college.

Huo Yuhao, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment. With lightning speed, he used his mental detection sharing to directly connect with Jing Hongchen and then transmitted his voice: "Dean, don't agree to him. I am not interested in Shrek Academy."

He admitted that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy also had madmen, but Shrek Academy seemed to have a lot of madmen. If he went to Shrek Academy, who knew what kind of madmen he would encounter.

As Shrek's BeiBei once said, "Our Shrek Academy's assessments are always based on real combat. As one teacher once said, any data is pale in comparison to real combat."

To be honest, as Moon's great-grandson, Beibei's words are credible, but what Shrek Academy did?

Huo Gua's victory in the freshman assessment demonstrates his exceptional combat skills, yet he only received temporary treatment as a core disciple of the outer academy. In contrast, Dai Huabin, the loser in the freshman assessment, was directly granted the status of a core disciple of the martial spirit department's outer academy, a truly difficult situation to accept.

Even though the academy later gave him a soul bone, it was obvious to everyone that Huo Gua would never absorb it, so in the end, the soul bone ended up with Xiao Xiao.

Jing Hongchen's expression shifted slightly, clearly having heard Huo Yuhao's telepathic message. In fact, even if Huo Yuhao hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have let the other go to Shrek Academy as an exchange student. This was a treasure of the Sun and Moon Academy; what was the point of him being an exchange student? What if something went wrong?

So Jing Hongchen took two steps forward, looked at Yan Shaozhe, and shook his head: "The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy needs to consider many factors when selecting people."

First of all, Yuhao's martial soul is the Spirit Eye, making him a natural soul master. Going to Shrek Academy wouldn't really make much sense for him.

After all, while Shrek Academy is far ahead in training Soul Masters, it's definitely not as good as our Mingde Hall in the field of Soul Tools.

Yan Shaozhe was disappointed upon hearing this. He wanted to try again, so he turned his attention to Huo Yuhao. He wanted to communicate directly with the student. If Huo Yuhao agreed, he would definitely use that as a reason to make him an exchange student.

Jing Hongchen saw through Yan Shaozhe's intentions, so he quickly stepped forward and began to discuss some details of the exchange student program with Yan Shaozhe, stopping Yan Shaozhe from taking any further action.

......

White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

After the Soul Battle Tournament ended, the Duke's steward returned to the Duke's mansion without stopping and explained Huo Yuhao's situation to the Duchess.

Upon hearing these words, the Duchess immediately reached out and slammed her hand on the table. With a loud "bang," cracks appeared on the table.

She looked at the butler in front of her, somewhat annoyed: "Are you sure that Huo Yuhao is the same person as Dai Yuhao from before, who is Huo Yun'er's son? The son of a maid and Brother Hao can actually win the championship of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament?"

Douluo Continent is a place that places great importance on one's birth. For 99% of the people on Douluo Continent, the martial soul they awaken at the age of six and their innate soul power level have already determined their future achievements.

In the Duchess's eyes, the missing Dai Yuhao was someone destined to achieve nothing.

The butler nodded hurriedly, "Absolutely true! Madam, news of Huo Yuhao has spread throughout Xingluo City. Many people are dissatisfied with your past actions, so your image has also..."

The butler stopped there, not daring to continue. After all, he was just a servant. The Duchess, as a member of the Star Luo royal family, had been pampered since childhood, so she had always had a bad temper. And because of Dai Huabin's death, the Duchess's temper had become even worse than before.

The servants in the Duke's mansion have recently become increasingly cautious in their words and actions.

The Duchess's face darkened: "My image... Hmph, Huo Yuhao didn't awaken the White Tiger Martial Soul back then, so naturally he's not presentable. Besides, his mother was just a maid. As the mistress of the house, what's wrong with me disciplining a maid?"

Chapter 88 The Mysterious Adventure of the Auspicious Beast

"Even the nobles of Xingluo can only gossip behind my back. Who dares to point their finger at me and curse me? I am the daughter of the Xingluo Emperor and the wife of the White Tiger Duke! As for the opinions of some common people, I don't care!"

"Madam! Be careful what you say!" the butler couldn't help but remind her. "Master will be back soon. What if he hears you say such things..."

The Duchess waved her hand dismissively, "I disliked Huo Yun'er back then. She was just a maid who carried Hao Ge's child, trying to gain status through her son, but she failed in her attempt."

It's truly remarkable that her son has become the champion of the Soul Fighting Tournament. However, by publicly revealing what I did back then, does he intend to seek revenge?

The butler remained silent for a moment, thinking to himself that if he were in that situation, he would also seek revenge. After all, Huo Yun'er and her son had been living a very difficult life in the Duke's mansion all these years.

.........

Three days later.

Starry Sky Forest.

Warm sunlight streamed into the forest.

The three-eyed golden lion slowly opened its eyes and then observed its surroundings.

She had been in seclusion for some time, and today she finally found a good opportunity to leave the Star Dou Great Forest and head to the human world.

In order to go to the human world, she deliberately chose a place far away from the Lake of Life to go into seclusion. She also created a fake body to replace herself in the seclusion. The purpose was simple: to prevent Di Tian and the others from discovering that she had secretly sneaked into the human world.

After all, if Di Tian and the others discover that he has secretly slipped out, they will definitely catch him and bring him back under strict guard, which is something the Three-Eyed Golden Lion cannot accept.

In her opinion, life in the Star Dou Great Forest was safe, but it was too boring and far less colorful than the human world.

"It's time to take human form. From today onwards, my human name will be... Di Qiu'er."

She walked towards the edge of the Starry Sky Forest. With each step, her size shrank until she was enveloped in a ball of light, from which a figure gradually emerged.

Di was named after Di Tian, ​​and in a sense, she was Di Tian's adopted daughter. As for Qiu, she quite liked autumn because some plant-type soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest would bear some delicious fruits in autumn.

As an imperial auspicious beast, her main food is the brains of light-attribute soul beasts. However, she sometimes needs to eat some fruits to change things up, because eating the same thing all the time can get a bit boring.

"Human world, here I come."

.......

Star City.

The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was blowing.

A girl with fair skin, silky blonde hair, and golden eyes was walking down the street.

Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people. The reason was simple: this girl was too beautiful. Good-looking people will attract attention wherever they go. At this moment, many people looked at Di Qiu'er with amazement on their faces.

She watched the passersby with some curiosity. Although she had absorbed some of Huo Yuhao's memories and was somewhat prepared for the wonders of the human world, the sheer novelty she felt when she stepped into it still shocked her.

She chose Xingluo City as her first stop mainly because it is the largest city in the Xingluo Empire and is home to many people.

Moreover, Xingluo City is very close to Xingdou Great Forest, so she will be able to get here soon.

A look of surprise appeared on Di Qiu'er's face, and her mind was racing: "This is where humans live. It looks much more interesting than the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Little girl, would you like some grilled fish?" An old man stood in front of a grilled fish stall on the street and asked with a smile.

The aroma of grilled fish tantalized Di Qiu'er, and she suddenly became interested. She walked over to the old man's side. "Grilled fish?"

The old man began to boast: "Yes, grilled fish! Little girl, my ancestor grilled fish in the Xingluo Imperial Palace. Even the emperor at the time praised his skills and appointed him as the imperial chef!"

So, if you buy my grilled fish, you'll definitely experience a taste you've never had before!

Di Qiu'er stared with wide eyes, somewhat doubtful: "Really?"

The old man's expression turned serious: "Of course it's true! Don't worry, you'll get a great deal, you won't be cheated! Would I sell you inferior grilled fish? That would be tarnishing our ancestors' reputation! Let me put it this way, in the Star Luo Empire, my grilled fish skills are second to none!"

The only person who surpasses me is probably that young man selling grilled fish I met on the border of the Star Kingdom! His grilling skills were simply unparalleled; I even suspect he started researching how to grill fish from the womb! Ah, I really envy that kind of grilling genius!

"A genius at grilling fish? Could it be Huo Yuhao?" Di Qiu'er's mind raced with thoughts.

She did receive Huo Yuhao's memories, but not completely, so there were some things she didn't really understand. However, she learned from those memories that Huo Yuhao was a genius at grilling fish.

Thinking of this, Di Qiu'er reached out and picked up three skewers of grilled fish, ready to feast. This was a new thing for her, because soul beasts usually ate raw food, and most soul beasts that had not yet taken human form did not eat cooked food.

The old man's expression changed. "Hey, wait a minute, you haven't paid yet. Pay first before you eat."

Di Qiu'er was stunned. "Money? I don't have any money!"

She then remembered that in Huo Yuhao's memory, to buy things in the human world, one needed a currency called Soul Coins, which were divided into Gold Soul Coins, Silver Soul Coins, and Bronze Soul Coins.

She's dirt poor right now, she doesn't even have a single copper soul coin, so naturally she can't afford this grilled fish.

Thinking of this, Di Qiu'er put down the grilled fish, reluctantly withdrew her gaze, turned and left, her steps appearing somewhat heavy.

"Money? How am I supposed to make money? Am I supposed to become a bodyguard? Or cause trouble for some bad guys? I can't exactly go back to Star Dou and take some valuables!"

"Never mind, let's continue exploring for a while and see what the human world is really like."

She continued walking down the street.

Soon, she entered a bookstore and browsed through the bookshelves. She was quite interested in reading because listening to the stories told by the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest was her only way of understanding the outside world.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on a row of books.
