Douluo: Huo Yuhao Returns from Devouring the Stars

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition will be held in Mingdu in five years. Whether the academy can regain its ten thousand years of glory will depend on you then." Fan Yu looked at Jiang Nannan, Wang Dong'er and others, and said earnestly.

Being suppressed once by the Sun-Moon Empire Royal Soul Instructor Academy could be understood as an accident, but if it was suppressed twice in a row, the meaning would be completely different.

People on the mainland would think that the era of Shrek is a thing of the past, and that the rising Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is the number one academy on the mainland. It not only has top soul master talents, but also top soul instructor talents. Both its selection system and its training system are the most comprehensive.

Fortunately, although the Sun-Moon Empire has a complete system for training soul masters, it still lags behind Shrek in terms of soul master training. This is the only place where Shrek can suppress the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

However, Jiang Nannan, Wang Donger and others who had already thought about dropping out of school could only smile bitterly. The next competition was related to them, but not much.

Maybe they will represent other colleges in the competition, but they probably won't represent Shrek College.

As witnesses who had represented Shrek Academy in this tournament, they knew Shrek's true colors better than anyone else. Continuing to stay at Shrek would only lead to further brainwashing, and if they weren't careful, they would become cannon fodder for the mistakes made by the academy's top brass...

So, they planned to sail away...

"If nothing goes wrong when we carry out the mission of eliminating evil spirit masters, there will be no need to restore the glory of Shrek."

Wu Feng glanced at Fan Yu and continued bluntly, "The Sun and Moon Royal Team came to Xingluo City with several Titled Douluo accompanying them, and there's even someone who dares to challenge Elder Xuan. Compared to our Shrek Academy, the gap is really huge..."

Anyway, she and Ning Tian had already agreed that when they returned to the academy, they would drop out and return to the sect or go to other soul master academies to study, and would not work for Shrek anymore. So when facing Fan Yu, she had nothing to worry about when speaking frankly.

"This is indeed a poor consideration on the part of the academy. Otherwise, with this team lineup, we would definitely be able to crush the Sun and Moon Royal Team, win the championship of this tournament, and successfully defend the glory of Shrek."

Fan Yu sighed and continued, "The Sun-Moon Empire is indeed more prepared than us, and they attach great importance to those geniuses. They are not hesitant to send out several ninth-level soul masters, and even dare to challenge Master Xuan..."

Wang Dong'er thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Teacher Fanyu, at the same level, who is stronger, a soul master or a soul mentor?"

"Generally speaking, soul mentors are stronger."

Fan Yu analyzed, "Because with the help of soul guides, soul masters can obtain extremely rich offensive and defensive means. For example, if you are a strong attacking soul master like you, if you are given a defensive soul guide, you can also become a soul master with strong defensive power!"

"Similarly, a spirit master with extremely strong defensive power, combined with spirit guides such as spirit guide cannons, can also possess the attack power to match that of a strong offensive spirit master!"

"So, in summary, a powerful soul master can simultaneously play the roles of a strong attack, defense, and control soul master!"

"Of course, although soul masters can play multiple roles at the same time, they still have a main direction of cultivation. This depends on the characteristics of their own martial souls and the direction they choose."

"The best example is the masked warrior who protected Huo Yuhao on the stage during our previous match."

Ling Luochen asked doubtfully, "That old man's aura is not inferior to that of Old Xuan, and his combat power should be above that of Old Xuan. I heard that Old Xuan is a level 98 Super Douluo. Could it be that the masked old man is not a level 98 Super Douluo or a level 99 Ultimate Douluo?"

Fan Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "That old man is not only not a Limit Douluo, he is not even a Super Douluo!"

"what?"

Everyone looked at Fan Yu in disbelief. How could he possibly suppress a level 98 Xuan Lao when he wasn't even a Super Douluo?!

"Old Xuan explained to me and Wang Yan that the old man is just an ordinary Titled Douluo close to level 95, but he has an extremely terrifying soul guide. With the help of this soul guide, his aura can suppress Old Xuan, and he may even be able to suppress Old Xuan in terms of combat power!" Fan Yu said solemnly.

Wang Dong'er was stunned. "An ordinary Titled Douluo can, with the help of a spirit guide, suppress a Level 98 Super Douluo who's only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Limit Douluo? If that old man becomes a Level 95 Super Douluo, wouldn't his combat power be right up there with that of a Limit Douluo?"

"That's pretty much it."

Fan Yu nodded, then uttered the key point he had been laying the groundwork for: "So soul guides are also very important. As a future development trend, I sincerely hope that you can go to the Soul Guidance Department to study soul guides..."

"Teacher Fan Yu, it seems that Shrek Academy, including Douluo Three Kingdoms, doesn't have a single ninth-level soul master? The Sun-Moon Empire can easily pull out several ninth-level soul masters. If we go to the academy's soul guidance department to learn about soul guidance equipment, it would be better to go to the Sun-Moon Empire to learn..."

As soon as Wu Feng said this, Ning Tian knocked her head, signaling her not to talk nonsense.

Fan Yu said with melancholy, "This is the gap between us and the Sun-Moon Empire. This gap is like an insurmountable chasm. Even if we were given another thousand years, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to catch up with the current level of the Sun-Moon Empire's soul guides."

"The academy still doesn't support the development of the Soul Guidance Department, and the Douluo Three Kingdoms' disdain for soul guides has reached an unreasonable level..."

Fan Yu was silent for a long time before he continued, "Although soul teachers have many advantages, their strength still depends on the strength of the soul teachers themselves. Self-strength is the foundation, so what you can do now is to work hard to become stronger and become a qualified soul teacher."

Everyone who had a deep understanding of the talents and soul mentor advantages of Huo Yuhao and Hong Chen could not help but fall into deep thought, especially Ling Luochen and others who had already thought about dropping out of Shrek Academy, who began to think extensively and deeply about this.

……

Xingluo Royal Soul Guidance Equipment Store.

third floor.

Xu Jiujiu, who came to the store to handle store affairs, had just come out of the office when he ran into Yu Yu and others who came to the third floor to investigate Douluo Three Kingdoms soul guides.

As the person in charge of the specialty store, Xu Jiujiu did not regard herself as the Princess of Xingluo at all. Instead, she personally introduced the various high-level soul guides displayed on the exhibition stand to the members of the Sun and Moon Royal Team like a service staff.

It is hoped that through contact with Yu Yu and others, a deep understanding of the gap between the Xingluo Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire in terms of soul guides can be achieved, and experience and suggestions can be accumulated for the empire's subsequent drastic reform and development of soul guides.

Yu Yu did not hide any of Xu Jiujiu's questions and doubts, but gave professional insights and comments from a professional's perspective. This was his basic respect for Xu Jiujiu's identity and his respect for the soul guide technology that the Sun and Moon Empire was proud of.

Chapter 119 Xu Jiujiu: It seems that the Spirit Hall is not wrong

Yu Yu did not hide any of Xu Jiujiu's questions and doubts, but gave professional insights and comments from a professional's perspective. This showed his respect for Xu Jiujiu and for the soul guide technology that the Sun and Moon Empire was proud of.

Of course, Yu Yu also learned about the current development status and level of soul mentors in Douluo Three Kingdoms through Xu Jiujiu, so the trip was worthwhile.

After an in-depth analysis of the Sun-Moon Empire's selection and training mechanisms for soul masters and soul mentors, Xu Jiujiu couldn't help but sigh:

"Judging from your Sun Moon Empire's selection and training system for spirit masters and spirit mentors, as well as the development of the Douluo Three Kingdoms over the past ten thousand years, the Spirit Hall's decision ten thousand years ago has proven correct. Only by breaking the control and exploitation of cultivation resources by the sects and nobles, and allowing the general public to awaken their spirits for free and cultivate and grow, can true glory be forged."

"After the Shrek Seven Devils destroyed the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, there was no longer any force that would allow civilian spirit masters to awaken their spirits for free. Furthermore, no force or academy was willing to provide free financial support to civilian spirit masters, allowing them to focus on their cultivation. This greatly restricted the development of the spirit master world."

"And Shrek Academy, which claims to be the continent's number one soul master academy, requires a city lord-level recommendation letter to further your studies. This move by Shrek has, to a certain extent, blocked the path for ordinary soul masters to grow..."

Yu Yu stared at her in surprise for a long time. He didn't expect that this princess, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, would have such a deep understanding of the current situation of civilian soul masters in Douluo Three Kingdoms, and from her tone, it seemed that she had quite a prejudice against Shrek Academy.

Yu Yu asked doubtfully, "If it weren't for the Shrek Seven Devils ten thousand years ago, wouldn't your Xingluo Empire have been annexed by the Spirit Hall? And since Her Highness the Princess has such a deep understanding of civilian spirit masters, why doesn't she promote policies that benefit civilian spirit masters within the Xingluo Empire?"

Xu Jiujiu looked out the window and sighed, "If you, Teacher Yu Yu, knew the history of the Xingluo Empire, you would know that ten thousand years ago, the Dai family was in power, and our Xu family was the main branch of the hidden Xingluo Sect. Later, when the Xingluo Empire was in crisis, our Xingluo Sect quelled the crisis and replaced the Dai family as the royal family of the Xingluo Empire."

"As you all know, the Xingluo Empire is full of nobles and other powerful forces. For the Xu family, who replaced the Dai family as the Xingluo royal family, it is not easy to sacrifice the interests of the nobles and implement a policy of civilian soul masters. My brother has tried to promote the development of soul guides several times, but he has been opposed by many conservative and feudal princes and ministers..."

The Sun and Moon Royal Team looked at it in surprise for a long time. They didn't expect that the current royal family of the Xingluo Empire developed from a hidden sect.

"So are you planning to make some changes now?" Yu Yu asked irrelevantly.

In fact, he really hopes that the Star Luo Empire will promote soul guides, because if the Star Luo Empire wants to promote soul guides, it will probably learn from the Sun-Moon Empire, which has a very high level of soul guide development. In this way, they can transmit the culture of the Sun-Moon Empire to the Star Luo Empire, and transmit it to the other two empires through the window of the Star Luo Empire!

There is no doubt that the improvement of cultural identity can effectively resolve the hatred of the people of the Three Kingdoms towards the empire and increase the people of the Three Kingdoms' acceptance of the empire. If the empire conquers the Three Kingdoms and rules the Three Kingdoms in the future, it will solve many problems.

Furthermore, promoting a civilian policy would be like giving those civilians who have been indoctrinated with Xing Luo's feudal ideology a chance to open their eyes and see the world, allowing them to think about things from a more rational perspective and increase their acceptance of Sun and Moon. In the future, Sun and Moon's rule over Xing Luo would face much less resistance...

Xu Jiujiu nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, we plan to restore the people-friendly policies of the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago and learn from your country in many aspects. As for the specific measures, I apologize that I cannot tell you."

Yu Yu smiled faintly and said, "Then I wish Xingluo great success."

With the current level of soul guides in the Douluo Three Kingdoms, they will not be able to catch up with the current Sun-Moon Empire even if they are given a few hundred years. As long as the top leaders of the empire block important soul guide technologies, they are not really afraid of the speed of soul guide development in the Star Luo Empire.

Xu Jiujiu glanced at Huo Yuhao and said expectantly, "Perhaps we will send students there for exchange and study. Of course, the prerequisite is that your country agrees."

"Of course we welcome it, if the empire agrees." Yu Yu nodded.

After asking Yu Yu a few more questions, Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao, who was chatting and laughing with Meng Hongchen in the distance, and asked, "Teacher Yu Yu, Huo Yuhao must be a rare genius in your academy, right? Could you tell me what level of soul master he is now?"

Yu Yu looked at Huo Yuhao and said with some pride, "As you can see, Yuhao is indeed a rare genius in both Spirit Master and Spirit Instructor. He just passed the Level 3 Spirit Instructor qualification a few months ago and is now at the Level 4 Spirit Instructor level. In another year or so, he should have no problem becoming a Level 5 Spirit Instructor."

"He... has now reached the level of a fourth-level soul engineer?" Xu Jiujiu said in shock.

Although she is not a soul engineer, she still has some understanding of soul engineers. It is rare in the world to have the level of a fourth-level soul engineer at this age!

Moreover, Yu Yu was extremely confident that Huo Yuhao could become a fifth-level soul engineer within a year or two. This meant that it wouldn’t be long before Huo Yuhao would become a fifth-level soul engineer!

There isn't even an eighth-level soul master in Douluo Three, and there are only a handful of sixth- and seventh-level soul masters. There are also very few fifth-level soul masters. But Huo Yuhao, who is a few years younger than him, is about to become a fifth-level soul master!

With Huo Yuhao's talent, it's estimated that in just a few years he'll be able to become a sixth or even seventh-level soul engineer, directly surpassing the sixth and seventh-level soul engineers that Douluo Three Kingdoms has nurtured over the past few decades...

Moreover, Huo Yuhao is a twin martial spirit genius who possesses the ultimate ice martial spirit!

This kind of talent is definitely hard to come by in a thousand years!

Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly, thinking to himself that it seems that the level of development of the Sun-Moon Empire in soul guides is much higher than I imagined. The process of sending students to the Sun-Moon Empire for exchange and study must be accelerated.

"That's right, Yuhao is extremely talented in soul guides. He will definitely be able to bring the development of soul guides to a new level in the future!" Yu Yu said with a faint smile.

"Teacher Yu Yu has a very high opinion of him." Xu Jiujiu said with a smile.

"No, this is the evaluation of him by His Majesty Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall. To put it bluntly, he will be the backbone of Mingde Hall in the future. If he makes a mistake, both Mingde Hall and the top leaders of the empire will definitely take big action..." Yu Yu said with a smile.

Xu Jiujiu understood and said with a faint smile: "I may not be as skilled as others in the competition, but I will not bother to do anything tricky. Teacher Yu can rest assured about this."

Yu Yu nodded, chatted with Xu Jiujiu for a while, and then took Huo Yuhao and others away from the Xingluo Royal Soul Guide Equipment Store.

She stood in front of the window for a long time. The afterglow of the setting sun stretched her slender figure very long. The light of pale golden color fell on her hair like golden satin. The soft golden light was so beautiful.

She quietly watched the backs of the Sun and Moon Royal Team gradually disappearing at the end of the street. Her eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen who were talking and laughing all the way for a few seconds. She did not look away until the figures of Huo Yuhao and Meng Hongchen completely disappeared at the end of the street.

Chapter 120 Competing on the same stage

After returning to the hotel, Huo Yuhao told Kong Deming about what happened last night. Kong Deming's advice was to hold back and see who were the people spying secretly and where they came from.

Huo Yuhao agreed with Kong Deming's suggestion and planned to first confirm whether the two people last night were really the two from the Haotian Sect. If they were really the two Extreme Douluo from the Haotian Sect, then he would have to find a way to escape.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Today is the match between the Sun Moon Royal Team and the Star Luo Royal Team, who have the greatest hope of winning the championship so far.

The huge Starfall Square was packed with people. Nearly 300,000 spectators were looking eagerly at the dedicated passage for the contestants in the auditorium, hoping to see the Xingluo Royal Team and the Sun-Moon Royal Team.

The fully armed Xingluo Empire army put the entire road from the Xinghuang Hotel to Xingluo Square on full alert, and the red carpet extended from the entrance of the Xinghuang Hotel to the preparation seats of the two teams.

Almost at the same time, the Sun-Moon Royal Team and the Star Luo Royal Team appeared in front of their respective entrances for contestants.

In an instant, thunderous applause and cheers mixed with the sound of sky-high salutes brought the atmosphere in the stadium to its peak.

Above the imperial city.

Xu Jiawei watched the two teams slowly enter their respective preparation seats and looked at Dai Hao. "Brother, in your opinion, what is the Royal Team's chance of winning?"

Dai Hao glanced at the Xingluo Royal Warfare Station where Xu Jiujiu was, and the Sun and Moon Royal Warfare Station where Huo Yuhao was, and sighed, "Thirty percent?"

"With Her Royal Highness the Princess here, the other members of the Royal Team can unleash extraordinary combat power in a group battle. However, the Sun Moon Royal Team also has Huo Yuhao, the core of the team. With him controlling the situation, even if he doesn't take action, it's already a formidable situation. Moreover... he and Meng Hongchen also have a martial soul fusion technique..."

Xu Jiawei nodded and sighed, "This year's Royal Team is certainly stronger than the previous ones, but the Sun-Moon Royal Team is also stronger than the previous ones. Once the individual battle begins, the long-term team support will lose its effect. With the strong individual strength of the Sun-Moon Royal Team, it is not difficult for three players to eliminate seven Royal Teams..."

"The Royal Team's only chance is to win the team battle and take out several core members of the Sun and Moon Royal Team. Only then can they gather in the subsequent individual battles."

Xu Jiawei and Dai Hao, who were slapped in the face one after another, had a clearer understanding of the true strength of the Sun-Moon Royal Team. They both believed that the Royal Team would most likely be eliminated by the Sun-Moon Royal Team and stop at the semi-finals.

If the Sun-Moon Royal Team successfully enters the finals, the championship will be within their grasp. After all, the other two teams that have advanced to the semi-finals are much weaker than the Royal Team.

Of course, if the Royal Team can advance to the finals, they can also easily win the championship!

After the two teams took their seats in their respective preparation seats, Tiansha Douluo Huang Jinxu, the referee of this match, appeared on the competition stage.
