Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 102 She slandered me, she slandered me!

Countless plumes of colored smoke painted the sky, and cheers from the audience rose and fell. In that instant, the honor of the champion made everyone temporarily put aside their prejudices and celebrate for the team that represented the highest honor in the mainland.

"Yuhao, we won! We are the champions!"

"Hahaha, we've won the Empire's first All-Continent Soul Fighting Tournament!"

The Sun and Moon team members tossed Huo Yuhao high into the air. At this moment, they didn't care about anything anymore; they lacked nothing.

Once they return to the Empire, all they will be greeted with honor and praise. They have accomplished what countless predecessors could not. They will be engraved in the halls of honor of countless academies and will be remembered forever by generations of descendants.

They did not have eternal glory, but they embarked on their own path to glory, and everyone at this moment believed that this glory would continue. This was the first time, but it would definitely not be the last.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao felt a surge of pride. He had to admit that being the focus of attention for tens of thousands of people, with all the praise and applause coming for him, was a feeling that was hard to describe in words.

No wonder Shrek is so concerned about this championship; anyone would be confused in this situation.

He was no longer weak, nor was he the rookie who escaped the Starry Sky Forest, risked his life to survive, and worried that he would be ignored.

He has already achieved the highest honor possible at his age, and his name, Huo Yuhao, will continue to spread across the mainland over time, attracting the attention of countless people.

The [Heavenly Path], which had ceased to resonate, now pulsated and gently echoed on the End Bell Martial Soul due to Huo Yuhao's intense emotions. At this moment, the bell pattern representing [Heavenly Path] seemed to have become even more profound.

Both fate and good fortune are also subtly changing.
The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament has come to a close, and the atmosphere at the scene was so intense that it descended into chaos.

Those Shrek Academy supporters and Star Luo Empire fanatics have begun a chaotic battle, and in order to maintain order, Star Luo had to postpone the awards ceremony.

Perhaps to protect Shrek Academy's reputation, or to mitigate the impact of Sun Moon Academy's victory, Star Luo Academy made a small move: the award ceremony for the competition would not be open to the public.

This was also to avoid damaging the morale of the Star Luo people. After all, it would be too much of a pain to watch the Sun Moon defeat Shrek and Star Luo to win the championship on their own home turf and then have to present them with awards.

So what if he lost face? Xu Jiawei couldn't care less about that now.

As for Riyue, they didn't care at all. They were already champions, so whether or not they followed the formalities was irrelevant. They wanted to save face for Xingluo.

The champion of the competition is awarded three soul bones, all of which are very ordinary and have not yet been given out. They are not particularly rare, and none of Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen are interested in them. They are better than nothing.

Compared to the original route, Xingluo will not offer those rare soul bones to "help" the Sun and Moon faction. If they hadn't already guaranteed that the reward for the competition would be soul bones, they wouldn't even be willing to give out these prizes.

Meanwhile, on the northeastern border of the Star Luo Empire, near the Star Dou Great Forest, in a certain area.

Xuanzi, who was preparing to return to Shrek Academy with Ma Xiaotao, Beibei, and others, finally encountered the Holy Spirit Cult, who had been waiting for a long time and were lying in ambush there.

Originally, the Holy Spirit Cult's plan was to send out Vice Leader Feng Ling, Sixth Elder Zhang Peng, and Second Elder Nangong Wan, who was lying in ambush, which would have been enough to hold off Xuanzi and Elder Zhuang before taking Ma Xiaotao away.

But to their surprise, the situation was actually better than they had imagined.

Now only Xuanzi, the Gluttonous Douluo, is escorting the injured team members back. Old Zhuang actually stayed in Xingluo City to protect the remaining Shrek Academy team members and continue watching the final match.

This is simply divine intervention protecting the Holy Church.

This must be the protection of the great Holy Spirit.

"The Holy Spirit Cult?" Xuanzi sensed something was wrong.

"Evil Soul Master!!"

Ling Luochen and Zhu Lu were fine, but now they suddenly saw several powerful Title Douluo-level experts appearing in front of them with menacing auras. They were all evil soul masters. Even a fool would know that they were coming for them.

Especially Ling Luochen and Bei Bei, who had just regained consciousness, had experienced the disaster of the Soul King evil soul master, and now their hearts pounded whenever they saw an evil soul master. Ma Xiaotao and Caitou were still unconscious, so they were unaware of what was happening outside.

"You scum of the Holy Spirit Cult, do you want to die?"

As a level 97 Super Douluo with the title of Evil Phoenix, Feng Ling is not afraid of Xuan Zi, this old guy. Besides, the two are, in a way, old friends.

He directly mocked, "Old man, I've heard about Shrek's exploits. I never expected that the Shrek disciples you, an old man, lead would be so easily defeated."

"The entire Shrek Academy's regular team members actually fell to a Soul King from the Holy Church. The Holy Church should really thank you for this great gift!"

She slandered me! She slandered me!

Xuanzi felt a sharp pain in his heart. The news had spread far too fast; even these guys from the Holy Spirit Cult knew about it.

At this moment, he recognized who was standing in front of him: Feng Ling, a woman who had been hurt by that bastard Yan Shaozhe.

Isn't this absurd? The leader of the Xishui Alliance, the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Sect, and the wife of the sect leader Zhongli Wu, actually has an affair with Yan Shaozhe, that philandering phoenix.

Add to that Xian Lin'er, Cai Mei'er, and all sorts of other scoundrels, and it's hard to imagine what outrageous consequences would result if Yan Shaozhe had the ability to keep the harem in order and raised his arm to call for help.

This old fellow is just as good as Duan Zhengchun.

Putting everything else aside, if Feng Ling were truly deeply in love with Yan Shaozhe, she could just give Zhong Liwu, the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, a taste of his own medicine—ugh, that would be a bit too much for the eyes.
However, even if he recognized the person, Xuanzi couldn't bring himself to try and get close to them.

Besides, the underlying logic of this world is that unrequited love leads to corruption. Xuanzi is not Yan Shaozhe. Even if you try to get close to Feng Ling, the vice leader of the Holy Spirit Cult, she still won't give you face. Corruption is three times stronger, that's an ironclad rule.

Zhang Peng added insult to injury, "Gluttonous Douluo, you wouldn't actually be a spy planted by the Holy Church in Shrek Academy, would you? You're so helpful, yet we, the official members of the Holy Church, are unaware of it!"

"However, I still thank you for the achievements you have made for the Holy Church. Now everyone outside is saying that you should never provoke the Soul King of the Holy Spirit Church. Look, this is all thanks to you."

One person wiped out almost an entire generation of the Shrek Seven Devils. It has to be said that the members of the Holy Spirit Cult were almost stunned when they first heard this news.

No, are the lower-level Soul Masters of our Holy Sect really this powerful? This terrifying record is a bit too exaggerated.

If that evil soul master Soul King hadn't died, they would have at least wanted to see what kind of being could achieve such an exaggerated feat.

"If you've come here to mock me, then I can only say you've messed with the wrong person. Leave now, and I might spare your lives!"

Xuanzi was so angry that his veins were throbbing. He had even seen out of the corner of his eye that Beibei and Ling Luochen had subconsciously taken a few steps back. Damn it, I'm really not a member of the Holy Spirit Cult!
Actually, he had completely misunderstood. Ling Luochen and the others retreated because they heard the Holy Spirit Cult address Xuanzi. Xuanzi was a Super Douluo, and the fact that the other side was so arrogant clearly indicated that they were at least titled evil soul masters.

They dared not get involved casually, otherwise the aftershocks of the battle alone could kill them dozens of times over.

"Hahaha, old man, you really don't think you can scare us with a few harsh words, do you? Let me tell you the truth, we're here today for that little phoenix you have."

Zhang Peng's face twisted into a ferocious grin as he spoke, "Old man, hand her over obediently, or these little bastards behind you will all be dead here today!"

If Huo Yuhao were to join the Holy Spirit Cult, he would absolutely act without hesitation in this situation. Why waste words with the villains and the self-proclaimed righteous Shrek Academy? Their chatter is so boring. He could just say, "I don't eat beef, I'll just steal it from you."

They feel compelled to say a few sarcastic remarks, as if they'd be afraid people wouldn't know they weren't good people if they didn't.

Something terrible was about to happen. Xuanzi wanted to run away, but seeing how distressed Ling Luochen, Beibei, and the others were, he knew he couldn't possibly take all of them with him.

But how could he make the same mistake again? If Xiao Tao really got taken away by those bastards from the Holy Spirit Cult, he'd rather forget it. He'd made too many mistakes to even remember them all.
