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

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, standing to the side, was stunned for a moment. With lightning speed, he used his shared mental detection to directly connect with Jing Hongchen and then transmitted his voice: "Dean, don't agree to him. I'm 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 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 suffered."

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 disciplining a maid?"
