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

As he spoke, he silently recited to himself, "Stealing blueprints isn't stealing, but what about the Soul Master's work? Can that be called stealing?"

Upon hearing He Caitou speak, Jing Hongchen immediately turned his gaze to He Caitou. In fact, when He Caitou first arrived as an exchange student, he noticed that He Caitou's skin was unusually dark.

In the Sun and Moon Empire, not all nobles have dark skin, but those with dark skin are definitely nobles.

If He Caitou were not a student of Shrek Academy, but a member of the Sun and Moon Clan, Jing Hongchen could conclude that He Caitou must have been a nobleman.

Jing Hongchen stared at He Caitou for a while and said, "Actually, I dare to arrest you because I'm sure I'm confident."

"After all, you were sent by Shrek Academy, so you're practically guests. I have to give Shrek Academy face. However, what you did today has crossed the line."

"Hand over your storage soul tools so I can take a look."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yu's expression changed slightly. He said angrily, "Dean Jing, I come from Shrek Academy, not from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. As you just said, Shrek students studying at Sun Moon are considered half guests. What kind of logic is there in checking a guest's storage soul tool?"

Is this how the Sun and Moon Hospitality treats its guests? What if the blueprints weren't found? Shouldn't you, as the hospital director, compensate me for the damage to my reputation?

He increasingly felt that Jing Hongchen had been deceiving him all along.

Therefore, as long as you don't admit it and show that you've been wronged, you can definitely get through it.

"Alright, if I can't find the blueprints, I'll definitely make up for your loss. At worst, I'll give you a level nine soul tool." Jing Hongchen waved his hand dismissively.

Level 9 soul tools are indeed very precious. Even for Jing Hongchen himself, it would take several months to create a level 9 soul tool.

Because the core magic array inside a level nine soul tool is too complex.

However, since Fan Yu and He Caitou had already stolen the blueprints, the idea of ​​"using a level-nine soul tool to make up for the damage to Fan Yu and He Caitou's reputation" was simply impossible.

Therefore, he naturally spoke his words with full confidence.

Fan Yu was stunned, thinking, "Is Jing Hongchen really that confident? Why aren't you playing by the rules?"

At this moment, Fan Yu, who had been speaking righteously as if he had been treated unfairly, could no longer argue. He felt that he was now in a difficult situation.

Agreeing to the examination is not a good idea, but refusing it seems like I have something to hide.

"No objections? Then I'll begin the inspection!" Jing Hongchen reached out to Fan Yu.

"No!" Fan Yu tried to struggle a little more.

"This is Sun and Moon, not Shrek! Listen to me! Let me see!"

Jing Hongchen forcibly removed the storage ring from Fan Yu's finger and began to empty its contents. Soon, a pile of soul tool blueprints was stacked on the ground, coming into everyone's view.

Some researchers ran over, picked up the blueprints, and their expressions changed drastically upon seeing them.

"Isn't this the blueprint I drew? They even stole my hard work? How shameless! Are all the people from Shrek Academy thieves?"

"Fan Yu, what exactly did you do? Without these soul tool blueprints, how am I supposed to catch up with Xuan Ziwen's achievements?"

Hearing these words, Fan Yu lowered his head dejectedly, his posture becoming more hunched. For an old Shrek alumnus like him, he didn't care about his reputation being ruined, but the problem was, what if Shrek Academy's reputation was implicated?

"He Caitou! It's your turn." Jing Hongchen's sharp gaze fell on He Caitou. "Let me check your storage soul tool."

He Caitou was completely numb at this moment. He never expected that he would be arrested so soon after stealing the blueprints for the soul tool.

He felt powerless against the powerful, so he had no choice but to hand over his storage ring and soul tool. Then, Jing Hongchen poured out everything inside the soul tool in front of everyone, and soon, everyone saw a pile of blueprints.

"You two are exactly the same! I even gave you some pointers when you first entered Mingde Hall to study!" an old soul master with white hair said indignantly.

"Master, you can't tolerate this. We must demand justice from Shrek Academy."

"Yes, we must demand justice from them!"

Hearing the researchers' words, Jing Hongchen made a promise: "Please rest assured, I will make sure Shrek Academy gives you an explanation. I will arrange for someone to go to Shrek Academy to inform them about the theft of the blueprints!"

After saying this, he looked at Fan Yu and He Caitou beside him: "As for the two of you, you will need to be detained at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for a period of time until Shrek Academy comes to pick you up."

......

a few days later.

Shrek Academy.

Qian Duoduo looked somewhat annoyed. He looked at Xuanzi not far away and asked, "Elder Xuan, Fan Yu and He Caitou have both been arrested by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for stealing soul tool blueprints. What should we do now?"

In fact, before the Shrek Academy exchange students and their supervising teachers set off, Qian Duoduo had discussed with Fan Yu how to develop Shrek Academy's soul tools.

One of the plans was to steal the blueprints for soul tools, since doing so could accelerate the development of soul tools.

But Qian Duoduo never expected that the theft of the blueprints would be exposed!

This is getting a bit complicated.

Because Xiao Hongchen and the others are all at Shrek Academy, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy cannot possibly kill Fan Yu and He Caitou.

However, Shrek Academy is indeed in the wrong in this matter, and its reputation has been affected as a result.

Xuanzi sighed: "No matter what, we have to get the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to release them. After all, the future of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department rests on Fan Yu and He Caitou's shoulders."

Especially He Caitou, he's incredibly important. I remember you've already chosen him as the trainer for the Extreme Individual Soldier Project, haven't you?"

Qian Duoduo's expression was somewhat solemn: "Yes, in the current academy, the most outstanding young person in the field of soul tools is He Caitou."

Therefore, my future plan is to develop He Caitou into an ultimate individual soldier capable of single-handedly changing the course of a battlefield. The Sun and Moon forces sent us to retrieve their personnel; it will likely come at a cost for us to bring them back.”

Chapter 154 Planning the Tang Clan's Ultimate Technique

Xuanzi subconsciously picked up the wine pot, took a sip of wine, and then sighed: "That's right, even if it costs us some money, we must get Riyue to release the people. It's a pity that Xiao Hongchen and the others didn't make any mistakes, otherwise we could have swapped people."

However, given what happened, Fan Yu and He Cai Tou will likely be deported.

Qian Duoduo was a little anxious: "Elder Xuan, Fan Yu and He Caitou absolutely cannot be deported."

They went to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to learn about soul tools. If they are sent back, it will be detrimental to the development of the soul tool department at Shrek Academy.

Therefore, we must do everything we can to keep them here.

Xuanzi paused, somewhat annoyed: "I can understand how you feel."

However, even if they were to stay, it's estimated that the Sun and Moon Palace would keep a close watch on them, preventing them from entering the Mingde Hall to study.

Qian Duoduo said, "Elder Xuan, even so, I hope we can negotiate a compromise with the Sun and Moon side."

After all, Shrek Academy was completely outmatched by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the field of soul tools. Even though after this incident, Fan Yu and the others were under special surveillance at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and were even unable to enter the Mingde Hall, as long as they could learn more about soul tools, it would still be a good thing.

Xuanzi said with some helplessness, "I will go to Sun and Moon and talk to them then."

Qian Duoduo shook his head: "Elder Xuan, among the Sea God Pavilion, only you and Elder Mu are not allowed to go to the Sun Moon Empire."

After all, Elder Mu's health is not good, so it would be best for him to reduce his activities. And you are going to take over Elder Mu's position in the future, becoming the pillar of Shrek Academy.

You and Elder Mu are extremely important to the academy; we cannot afford to lose you.

Therefore, I plan to discuss it with Yan Shaozhe, and then I'll go to the Sun Moon Empire with him.

“This…” Xuanzi frowned slightly. “How about we convene a meeting of the Sea God Pavilion to discuss this matter together? And then let Elder Mu make the decision?”

Qian Duoduo's face showed a bitter smile: "Old Mu instructed us to develop the soul tool technology, but now Fan Yu and He Caitou have been arrested by the Sun and Moon for stealing the soul tool blueprints."

As the vice dean of the Soul Guidance Department, I have no face to trouble Elder Mu with this matter at the Sea God Pavilion meeting.

Xuanzi's face showed understanding, and he sighed, "Alright, then I'll contact Shaozhe for you. You two can discuss it later and make a decision."

"Thank you, Elder Xuan," Qian Duoduo said.

......

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Principal's Office.

Huo Yuhao and Ye Guyi were both sitting in chairs with a table in front of them, and Jing Hongchen was sitting opposite them.

Jing Hongchen scrutinized Ye Guyi for a while, somewhat puzzled. He wondered if this was the benefactor Huo Yuhao had mentioned earlier. But what kind of operation was it to bring the benefactor back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? Could it be that this benefactor could no longer stay in the Douluo Three Kingdoms?

Thinking of this, he asked, "Yuhao, who is this?"

Huo Yuhao immediately began to introduce: "This is Ye Guyi. On my way back, I encountered her being chased by evil soul masters, so I stepped in to save her."

"Being hunted?" Jing Hongchen's expression turned serious. He continued, "Yuhao, why is Ye Guyi being hunted by evil soul masters?"

"Her martial soul is the Holy Angel," Huo Yuhao said bluntly.

"A Holy Angel? No wonder she was hunted down by evil spirit masters. This kind of martial spirit is far too threatening to them." Jing Hongchen looked at Ye Guyi with some surprise. "Ye Guyi, would you like to join our academy?"

The Holy Angel Martial Soul is quite rare. This Martial Soul possesses rare holy attributes and is said to be inherited from the Six-Winged Angel lineage of the Spirit Hall. Without a doubt, it is an extremely powerful Martial Soul.

Ever since he learned that the evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult were coercing students like Nana, his opinion of the Holy Spirit Cult and evil spirit masters had further declined, so he naturally welcomed people like Ye Guyi who specifically targeted evil spirit masters.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire will inevitably have to expel, or even hunt down, all evil spirit masters in the future.

Even Xu Tianran would agree with this idea. After all, the main reason why Xu Tianran and the current Sun Moon Emperor support the Holy Spirit Cult is to strengthen the Sun Moon Empire and let the Holy Spirit Cult contribute to the Sun Moon Empire's unification of the Douluo Continent.

Once the Sun Moon Empire completes its great undertaking of unifying the Douluo Continent, no emperor will be able to tolerate the existence of the Holy Spirit Cult.

“Of course I’m willing.” Ye Guyi stood up from her chair and looked at Jing Hongchen, saying each word clearly, “Dean Jing, Yuhao has already told me many things on the way here. I am willing to join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and become a student here.”

Ye Guyi has come to realize how helpless she is when facing evil spirit masters without any backing.

Although she is very effective against evil spirit masters due to her own martial soul, she is currently too weak and needs a stable environment to grow.

"Alright!" A smile appeared on Jing Hongchen's face. "From today onwards, you will be a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

However, you must remember to avoid displaying your martial spirit in front of outsiders as much as possible, otherwise it will cause trouble.

"Mm." Ye Guyi nodded vigorously, then sat back down in her chair.

Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao and praised him, "Yuhao, thanks to you, our academy has another outstanding student. I feel that my luck has improved a lot since you came to the academy."

Huo Yuhao replied, "Dean, you flatter me. However, on my way back to the academy, I heard many students mention that Fan Yu and He Caitou stole the Mingde Hall blueprints. Have you decided how to handle this matter yet?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's face showed helplessness: "What else can we do? We can only ask Shrek Academy to give us some compensation and then release Fan Yu and He Caitou."

I can't just kill Fan Yu and He Cai Tou, nor can I lock them up for life.

However, you deserve immense credit for catching them stealing the blueprints. After all, if you hadn't suggested comprehensively strengthening the defenses of Mingde Hall, I wouldn't have thought of installing soul-guided surveillance.

“That makes sense, but I suggest we try to demand the Tang Clan’s secret techniques as compensation.” A smile appeared on Huo Yuhao’s face.

He thought to himself that he had caught Shrek Academy in the act again. Shrek Academy was actually extremely eager for the development of soul tools. Perhaps it was because Xuanzi confronted the three level-nine soul masters last time that the higher-ups of Shrek Academy felt the threat of soul tools even more, which led to the current butterfly effect.

"Tang Clan's secret techniques?" Jing Hongchen was a little confused. He was preparing to ask for something else, but Huo Yuhao immediately asked about Tang Clan's secret techniques. What was the use of that?

To be honest, he knew of the existence of the Tang Sect, after all, it was once the number one sect on the continent.
