Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 238 Ah, my grandfather who is far away!

Based on past experience, although the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is an absolute top academy on the continent, Shrek Academy is still a level above it.

However, this competition was quite special. Shrek Academy sent only three members who met the age requirements for the main team, while the rest were all reserve team members who were a full 12 years younger! If it weren't for Huo Yuhao's sudden emergence and his astonishing display of Soul King level at such a young age, crushing his opponents all the way, everyone would probably have had considerable doubts about whether Shrek Academy could win the championship this time.

Even so, the odds for the finals in the underground black market have been unprecedentedly high for Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, reaching a level comparable to Shrek Academy. The audience is eagerly anticipating whether Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy can force out all the secrets of this competition's most mysterious contestant—Huo Yuhao—in the final stage!
The weather wasn't great today; it was overcast with dark clouds and a light mist shrouded Xingluo City. Occasionally, a few fine raindrops drifted down from the sky, bringing a chill to this magnificent city.

However, no matter how strong the chill was, it could not dampen the enthusiasm of the people from all directions in Star Luo City, because the championship battle of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament was about to begin, and a peak showdown was about to unfold!
At this moment, the two teams were on their way to Xingluo Square. Along the way, soldiers stood in rows, blocking the crowds who were shouting their names. Many people who were unable to enter Xingluo Square gathered on both sides of the passage, watching the two teams up close.

Ling Luochen walked in the middle of the Shrek Academy team, occasionally looking up at the sky, a hint of joy appearing on her pretty face. As the controller of ice elements, this humid weather, with the possibility of rain at any moment, was undoubtedly most advantageous for her and Huo Yuhao, both ice-attribute soul masters.

Yesterday, Wang Yan planned the day's strategy and tactics, and this morning, due to the weather, there were some changes. Everyone is starting to feel excited and nervous about the upcoming final.

Compared to them, the members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were even more nervous. This was the closest their academy had ever come to winning the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament!
Their own strength was unprecedented, while the Shrek Academy team was incomplete, missing four of their main players. Even with Huo Yuhao making up for some of Shrek's shortcomings, this opportunity was still incredibly rare compared to previous competitions. Precisely because they were so close to the championship, they became even more nervous.

Gao Ao Ru Xiao Hongchen's face was tense at this moment. He occasionally glanced at the Shrek Academy students walking with them on the red carpet that had just been laid out last night, especially at the red-eyed pretty boy who had been plotting against his little white cabbage. His eyes burned with sour anger and resentment, as well as a strong urge to teach him a lesson in public!

Compared to Xiao Hongchen's anger and agitation, Meng Hongchen behind him was much better off. Whenever she looked towards Shrek Academy, her gaze was almost always fixed on Huo Yuhao. From the side, Huo Yuhao's facial features were deep and distinct. Although he was still young, he was already about the same height as Xiao Hongchen. He had a tall and slender figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and fair skin, yet he exuded a sense of power.

As she looked at Huo Yuhao, she thought to herself: Huo Yuhao is exceptionally talented, has a great personality, and is also very handsome. His red eyes are such a perfect match for me! And more importantly, he isn't afraid to laugh at that arrogant guy at all!
Ah, my dear grandfather! Your most beloved granddaughter has finally found her true love! You must be so happy for her, right?

Empire of the Sun and Moon, Mingde Hall.

Sitting in her office, Jing Hongchen suddenly felt a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason: "Strange, it hasn't gotten colder today, so why do I suddenly feel a chill down my back?"

The red carpet in Xingluo Square stretched all the way to the rest area and then circled the competition stage. In the distance, on the city wall, His Majesty the Emperor of the Xingluo Empire, accompanied by his civil and military officials, had already arrived and stood ready, showing respect to the two teams about to compete in the finals. Seeing that both teams had entered the rest area, the Emperor of Xingluo smiled faintly and nodded to Duke Baihu beside him.

"Silence! The competition is about to begin. Please allow His Majesty to speak." Dai Hao shouted in a deep voice. He did not use a megaphone, but his voice still carried far and wide, and his powerful and iron-blooded aura emanated from the city wall.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" All the soldiers maintaining order at the scene shouted at the same time, raising their weapons. Instantly, the entire Xingluo Square was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

It was clear that the soldiers' eyes were filled with fanaticism. At this moment, all they could see was their commander standing on the city wall. Duke White Tiger's dominance in the army was, in some ways, even greater than that of the Star Luo Emperor!

In the audience, Dai Huabin looked at the middle-aged man on the city wall, who was wearing golden armor, with regular features, deep-set eyes, and a handsome, resolute, and iron-blooded temperament. He couldn't help but clench his fists, and his eyes revealed an excited and admiring light.

Since Dai Yueheng's accident, Dai Hao has paid more attention to his remaining sons than before. Therefore, when he saw his youngest son in the audience, he nodded slightly to him, his eyes revealing a hint of encouragement. Then, his gaze shifted to the Shrek Academy's rest area, to the calm-looking, tall boy with crimson eyes that were completely different from those of the White Tiger lineage.

With his heightened senses, Huo Yuhao immediately noticed being stared at, especially since Dai Hao made no attempt to conceal his gaze. However, facing the expectant gaze of the Star Luo Empire's White Tiger Duke, a figure of immense prestige in the military and second only to the emperor, Huo Yuhao merely glanced at him, his expression unwavering. His eyes held neither resentment nor admiration, as if Dai Hao were merely an ordinary passerby, someone completely unrelated to him.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's reaction, Dai Hao's face stiffened instantly, and his eyes dimmed slightly.

The Star Luo Emperor beside him was completely oblivious to all of this. His Majesty smiled and waited until the tense atmosphere subsided before slowly speaking: "The last time we witnessed the final of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament in Star Luo City was twenty years ago. At that time, both I and my brother Dai Hao were just young men. Times have changed. Today, twenty years later, I am the ruler of a nation, and my brother Dai Hao has become the first commander of the empire. We will once again witness a duel between the strongest young men on the continent."

"Like you, I am also very excited at this moment. I hope that both teams can deliver a wonderful match for every spectator. As is customary, the winner of this final will receive three soul bones and a reward of one million gold soul coins. I have already selected ten soul bones from our national treasury for the final champion to choose from. Now, please join me in watching this ultimate showdown that will surely be recorded in history!"
