Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 617 The Turning Point in People's Perspectives
Huo Yuhao calmly looked at Elder Xuan in the sky, but he always overwhelmed his opponent in terms of momentum.

But seeing the frustrated and indignant Elder Xuan, he felt little satisfaction, but rather a pang of sorrow.

The Shrek members do indeed possess a heart of justice, but at the same time, they also have selfish motives and will make choices that are most beneficial to themselves for the sake of Shrek's own interests.

Huo Yuhao acknowledges Shrek Academy's motives to some extent, but also clearly points out their limitations.

Because he is not only more correct, but also stronger.

On the imperial city walls, Emperor Xue Lingzhao's expression was no better than Elder Xuan's.

Mingdou Academy showed no respect for His Majesty at the competition, disregarding the dignity of the Fighting Spirits, and now they have exposed such a huge scandal.

Yan Shaozhe's relationship with the Holy Spirit Cult is unclear, which affects Shrek Academy's reputation and will ultimately impact the Fighting Spirits.

Xue Lingzhao originally planned to cooperate with Shrek Academy to fight against the alliance between Ming Dou and the Three Kingdoms, but now that Shrek Academy has run into problems, should Douling change its strategy?
Everyone had different thoughts, and no one cared about the original progress of the competition anymore. It seemed that everyone had forgotten about this matter and was waiting to see how the situation would develop further.
But it was at this moment that a voice rang out.

"I was truly impressed by the grand ambitions that Mingdou Academy had set for itself."

Huo Yuhao looked up and saw that the speaker was actually the captain, Xue Lan, slowly walking onto the field from the Douling team's rest area.

Xue Lan solemnly said, "On behalf of the Douling Royal Family, I apologize to the Mingdou Team for the misunderstanding they have suffered. At the same time, on behalf of the Douling Royal Academy, I forfeit the rest of this match."

"Oh?" Huo Yuhao was somewhat surprised.

Tianyang Douluo was taken aback and quickly advised, "Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with you or the Douling Battle Team. Why do you say this?"

Xue Lan shook her head: "Senior Tianyang, this matter is just a misunderstanding. Since our Douling Empire is the organizer of the competition, we naturally have an obligation to protect the rights and interests of all participating teams."

"Although I lost, the contestant from Mingdou Academy did not violate any rules or use any evil secret techniques. Instead, they defeated me fair and square. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

He looked at Qianfeng behind Huo Yuhao with sincere eyes.

"Therefore, I am willing to use the honor of the Douling Royal Family to prove that he has nothing to do with evil soul masters."

Unlike Elder Xuan, Xue Lan didn't keep up her stubbornness. Her sincere performance made Huo Yuhao think more highly of her.

He then looked at Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe and bowed: "I am very grateful to the two seniors of Shrek Academy for speaking up for Dou Ling, but this matter has been verified to be a misunderstanding."

"Mingdou Academy and Shrek Academy are both important forces in fighting evil and maintaining peace on the continent. Therefore, they should not fight each other, deepen misunderstandings, and damage harmony."

Xue Lan paused, her tone steady: "Dean Yan, I have heard about your and Shrek Academy's deeds since I was a child, and I take you as my role model. I believe that your deeds will change people's prejudices and inspire them to do good."

His gaze shifted not only between Ming Dou and Shrek Academy, but also around the audience: "The past is irreversible, but we can seize the present and move towards the future, working together to maintain peace on the Douluo Continent."

After Xue Lan finished speaking, there was a moment of silence outside the arena, followed by bursts of enthusiastic applause, which showed the people of Douling's recognition and love for this prince.

He looked at Tianyang Douluo: "Senior Tianyang, announce the results of the competition. I concede defeat on behalf of Douling Royal Academy."

Tianyang Douluo hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Then I, as the chief referee of this competition, declare that the winner of this match is Mingdou Academy."

Xue Lan bowed respectfully to each of them before turning and walking towards the Dou Ling team's rest area.

Huo Yuhao showed a relieved expression; it seemed that this Prince Xuelan was quite sensible.

Xue Lan seemed to have said a lot of nice things, but his real purpose was just to smooth things over. He came out to admit defeat and take the loss, begging everyone to stop arguing for the sake of Dou Ling.

There are some things that His Majesty is not suited to say, nor is Tianyang Douluo, but rather that he, as the prince, is suited to say.

As for the result of the match, losing was losing; it was just the group stage anyway. Huo Yuhao waved to Qian Feng and Ye Guyi on his head, then retreated to the Douling rest area. He had achieved his goal: to take this opportunity to tell the world about Mingdou Academy's handling of evil soul masters and its future plans. As for Shrek Academy's thoughts, he wasn't very concerned.

Ye Guyi glanced at Yan Shaozhe one last time, leaving behind a complicated expression.

Elder Xuan and Yan Shaozhe remained silent for a long time, and only after Tianyang Douluo reminded them did they fly back to the imperial city together.

The group stage continued, but the audience seemed to have lost interest in the upcoming matches, still reminiscing about the conflict between Ming Dou and Shrek Academy.

"Dou Ling has already admitted defeat, so... we've won?"

The members of the Mingdou team who hadn't yet played were still in shock.

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Yes, you should thank Qianfeng. He directly crushed the pride of that other prince."

The team members surrounded Qianfeng, excitedly saying, "That's amazing! He's a Soul Emperor!"

"Who said you're an evil spirit master? What evil spirit master can challenge opponents of a higher level than you?"

They didn't care at all about the possible label of evil spirit master on Qianfeng, and congratulated the youngest boy in the team.

Ye Guyi was somewhat moved by what she saw.

She sighed with relief: "Huo Yuhao, I believe you can do it. This is the right way to completely eliminate evil soul masters."

Huo Yuhao chuckled: "I believe that day won't be too far away."

Just then, Huo Qiu'er, who was in the rest area, slowly approached and casually greeted, "Oh? It's you."

Ye Guyi opened her mouth slightly, then stood there stunned.

"You two know each other?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"We met in the last competition." Huo Qiu'er smiled slightly at Ye Guyi. "It seems your understanding of justice has changed."

Ye Guyi nodded slowly and forcefully: "Yes."

But she quickly looked up again, her determined gaze meeting Huo Qiu'er's: "I have now found the justice I want to protect."

Huo Qiu'er added, "Simply shouting slogans is useless, but fortunately he has already provided a complete plan."

Huo Yuhao interjected, "Who says shouting slogans is useless? Making others believe is the most useful thing. Alright, let's get ready to go. There's nothing interesting to watch in other people's matches."

"Yes, team leader."

The team members' celebrations ended, and all the team members left to head back to the hotel.

Qianfeng followed Huo Yuhao and asked in a low voice, "Actually, you knew my identity from the very beginning, didn't you?"

Huo Yuhao chuckled: "I enjoy communicating with smart kids."

Qianfeng remained silent for a long time, then softly said, "Thank you."

He knew that if Huo Yuhao hadn't suddenly intervened and taken him away, he would most likely have been regarded as an outcast by those around him after his martial soul awakened, and would have had to figure out his own path to becoming an evil soul master.

This competition will also become a turning point in changing people's perceptions.
