Douluo: Huo Yuhao Returns from Devouring the Stars

Seeing Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen remained silent, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to throw out some ideas. "Dean, I won't be going to the United Spirit Master Academy. Although I can learn a lot about spirit masters and martial spirits there, it's too insignificant compared to my personal safety."

Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "Actually, we don't recommend you go either. During the competition, you accidentally severely injured the two biological children of Duke Baihu. As a powerful figure in the Xingluo Empire, Duke Baihu might not attack you openly, but there's no guarantee he'll use some shady tactics in secret."

"In addition, a young master of the Haotian Sect tragically died in the arena. Although that fellow named Tang Shan suffered the consequences of his own actions, it's inevitable that the Haotian Sect will blame you for Tang Shan's death. As the world's number one hidden sect, the Haotian Sect's strength is absolutely unfathomable. If they attack you at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"And the three students who were injured or killed are all from Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy definitely doesn't want you to have a good time."

"Besides, even if none of the above happened, as a genius with twin spirits, one being the Ultimate Ice Spirit and the other being the Body Spirit, you would still become a target of public criticism. Furthermore, those crazy people from the Body Sect who dared to confront and force their way into Shrek Academy might even risk everything to join forces with the Spirit Master Academy to snatch you away..."

Huo Yuhao took a sip of juice and said, "So I'll just stay in the academy to practice and study soul guidance. Going to Maple Leaf City is still too risky."

Jing Hongchen nodded, then looked at Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen and asked, "What about you two?"

Meng Hongchen puffed up his cheeks and rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of a good reason. "Grandpa, I won't go either. My performance in the competition was also very impressive. I will definitely attract a lot of threats like Yuhao!"

"I will learn soul guidance knowledge in the academy and strive to pass the sixth-level soul guide examination as soon as possible. I will not go to the United Soul Master Academy." Xiao Hongchen said bluntly.

Jing Hongchen held his forehead with his hand. It seemed that Meng and Xiao didn't hear what he said at all.

"Meng, although your performance in the competition was impressive, you are definitely not as much of a potential threat as Yu Hao. There's no reason for the Clear Sky Sect, the Body Sect, and Shrek Academy to focus so much attention on you. Besides, there will be people secretly protecting you. The United Spirit Master Academy will also exchange princesses from the two countries. In comparison, you will pose much less of a threat if you go to the United Spirit Master Academy."

"Then I...then shouldn't I go even more?" Thinking about the princesses of both countries coming to the academy to study, Meng Hongchen, who was worried about a fire in the backyard, expressed his true thoughts in a hurry.

Jing Hongchen was also stunned, and then smiled indifferently. Although he hoped that Yuhao would only protect his granddaughter for the rest of his life, a genius like Yuhao who was lurking in the abyss would inevitably meet many women in the future. Who could guarantee that he would only love one person in his life?

Even he himself couldn't protect only one person in his life...

"Your Zhu Qing Ice Toad martial soul has possessed Ultimate Ice and Ultimate Fire, and the quality of your martial soul has been greatly improved. I have seen your progress in soul guides over the years. It is very good. You are also very good in soul master training, but you still need to improve."

"Xiao, you too. Your Three-legged Golden Toad Martial Soul has already possessed the ultimate gold attribute, and its quality is also top-notch. Your talent in soul guides is also dazzling enough. However, if you want to become famous at a young age and establish your position on the continent, you must strengthen your soul master training."

Jing Hongchen paused and continued, "You all know that soul master cultivation is the foundation. Only when you are strong enough can you become even stronger with the help of soul guides."

"If Grandpa were a Super Douluo now, or if Elder Kong could be promoted to Super Douluo at a young age like those Super Douluos from Shrek Academy, then we would achieve greater success and be able to do more of what we want."

"When you are young, you should strive hard and stand on the unreachable peak to appreciate the scenery below. The feelings of different ages are different. It is better to achieve fame at a young age than to achieve success later in life, although late success is also worthy of praise."

"Yuhao is younger than you, but he's already a Soul King-level Soul Master, only ten levels away from you. You should know that you were already Soul Kings when Yuhao entered the academy, and your advancement to Soul Emperor is all thanks to him. Even if Yuhao's cultivation speed slows down in the future, he will definitely be able to become a Soul Emperor at your age, or even a Soul Sage!"

"In fact, Yuhao's cultivation speed has always been very fast, and his foundation is very solid. If you practice step by step, maybe in a few years, Yuhao will completely surpass you. By then, it won't just be in terms of soul guides that he will surpass you."

"Of course, you can't compare to Yuhao. This is a fact. Since it is a fact, you must learn to accept it, know yourself, and then move forward."

"Yuhao's talent is there. If you don't seize every opportunity to avoid being left behind by him, you won't be able to work hand in hand with him in the future, or even fight side by side."

Becoming famous at a young age is undoubtedly an addictive and irresistible poison. Even if one is born into a world of dreams and laughter that many people cannot reach in their lifetime, one cannot resist the temptation of becoming famous at a young age.

Fame and fortune are within their reach, but the strength that truly makes the world look at them with awe from the bottom of their hearts is not something they can get easily.

Jing Hongchen's words were undoubtedly thought-provoking. Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen could naturally figure out the reason behind it. Therefore, after a little struggle and thinking, they agreed to Jing Hongchen's suggestion and represented the Royal Soul Master Academy to go to the United Soul Master Academy for a two-year exchange student study in order to keep up with Huo Yuhao.

I was delayed for a day at the hospital. I had no money to begin with, and the medical treatment and medicine made things even worse. Time was tight, so I could only use this day's leave application to cover for the day. I can use this time to organize the outline and detailed outline, and try to write them better. I will make up for what I owe today later. Thank you all for your support.

Thank you.

Chapter 149: God Slaying

Maple Leaf City.

A large city in the western part of the Tianhun Empire, adjacent to the border of the Xingluo Empire and across the sea from the Sun and Moon Empire.

As an important supply base for the Western Legion of the Tianhun Empire and the most important economic hub in the western region, Maple Leaf City is extremely prosperous. There are tall buildings in the city, and the streets are crowded with cars. People coming and going flow like water to all parts of Maple Leaf City.

The United Soul Master Academy, which is under construction in full swing in Douluo Three Kingdoms, is located in the western part of Maple Leaf City. Standing on the newly built tower of the United Soul Master Academy, you can see the coastline west of Maple Leaf City, and through the thin clouds you can even see the Sun and Moon Empire across the sea.

In the conference room on the top floor of the Academic Affairs Building of the United Soul Master Academy.

Wang Yan, who had been kicked out of Shrek Academy and was now serving as the Dean of the Martial Soul Department of the United Soul Master Academy and a part-time lecturer, sat at the front of the conference room. He looked around at the teaching staff drawn from the Douluo Three Kingdoms Royal Academy, looked at the information on the table in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

"The construction of the college has entered its final stages and will be fully completed in half a month. This means that the college will be able to enroll students and teach normally when the school season starts in half a month. Since the enrollment work has been completed ahead of schedule, the subsequent teaching and learning will require a lot of effort..."

Then, Wang Yan announced a series of course arrangements and related precautions to everyone before shifting the topic to the exchange students' study.

Wang Yan paused and continued, "The purpose of exchange students is to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, so that both sides can learn and achieve something, not just for a meaningless show."

"Therefore, in order to ensure that our students receive the same treatment as their students at the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Instructor Academy, and to avoid bias in the imparting of knowledge and treatment due to conflicts between empires, we have decided to treat the seven exchange students from the Sun-Moon Soul Instructor Academy the same as the other students in the academy, and treat them with sincerity..."

"In addition to the above arrangements and precautions, we also need to announce the list of students this academy will send to the Sun Moon Empire Royal Soul Instructor Academy for exchange and study. I hope the relevant nominees will be notified."

"According to the committee's decision, the seven students who will be going to the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Instructor Academy for a two-year exchange program are Xu Jiujiu, Vina, Long Aotian, Jiang Nannan, Wang Donger, Xiao Xiao, and Ling Luochen. They are the future face and hope of the United Soul Instructor Academy, so the academy has specially selected these seven to go to the Sun-Moon Empire for exchange studies."

As soon as he finished speaking, a teacher asked with a worried look on his face, "Dean Wang, these seven people are all extremely talented. We are naturally convinced that they were chosen to go for exchange and study. But if we send two princesses, won't we be controlled by others?"

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is located in Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire. As the imperial capital of the Sun Moon Empire and the seat of Mingde Hall, there's no need to worry about external threats. As for the Sun Moon Empire itself, the committee has already made relevant agreements with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, so they won't take hostages."

"In addition, the Sun-Moon Empire will also be sending several exceptionally gifted geniuses, two of whom are the grandchildren of His Majesty Jing Hongchen, the current head of the Mingde Hall. These two individuals possess unparalleled talent, and their status in the Sun-Moon Empire is no less than that of the Sun-Moon Empire's princesses, so there's absolutely no need to worry about this."

An old teacher, a member of the Celestial Soul Empire's Body Sect, asked with concern, "Dean Wang Yan, the two people you're referring to are none other than Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, who displayed extraordinary strength in the competition. But the student named Huo Yuhao is even more talented. I wonder if he'll be sent here?"

After he finished speaking, all the teachers in the conference room looked at the old teacher tacitly, with a hint of shock in their eyes.

They all knew that Huo Yuhao had a body spirit with his eyes as its martial spirit. The Body Sect, which regarded the Body Sect as the home of all the body spirits in the world, was extremely protective and tough enough that they even dared to confront Shrek Academy. What they didn't expect was that the Body Sect actually wanted to extend its influence to the United Soul Master Academy?

Perhaps sensing the strange looks and atmosphere, the old teacher smiled faintly and said, "I'm just concerned about this student. If he were an exchange student, the Body Sect would never interfere with him and would even protect his safety. You can rest assured on this."

Wang Yan glanced at the list of exchange students from the Sun-Moon Empire's Royal Soul Instructor Academy and said, "The Sun-Moon Empire's exchange students are Meng Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, Ma Rulong, Lin Xi, Mijia, Xiao Xiafeng, and Chen Fei. They are basically the champion team of this competition. As for Huo Yuhao, he is not among the exchange students."

"But there is a relevant explanation in the notes."

The old teacher leaned forward and asked anxiously, "What does that mean?"

"Huo Yuhao is the Sun-Moon Empire's brightest rising star, and the most important core pillar of the Mingde Hall and the Gongfeng Hall in the future. Therefore, the Sun-Moon Empire would rather cancel the exchange program than allow Huo Yuhao to study at the United Spirit Master Academy as an exchange student. This is Huo Yuhao's decision, as well as the decision of the Sun-Moon Royal Academy."

Wang Yan looked at the notes and continued, "However, as the pride of the Sun-Moon Royal Academy and the most highly regarded genius by the Sun-Moon Empire's top brass, he will represent the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to help the students we send solve their problems in study and even in life."

Many teachers nodded and said, "It seems that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy is very sincere and is willing to let Huo Yuhao help our exchange students. Originally, they could have sent any student or teacher..."

The old teacher, who was a member of the Body Sect, smiled faintly and said, "It's a good thing that the exchange student has established a good friendship with Huo Yuhao. After all, Huo Yuhao carries a lot of hope for the Sun Moon Empire..."

The teachers all nodded, a flicker of understanding in their eyes. No wonder the Body Sect had strongly recommended that the student named Long Aotian go to the Sun Moon Empire for exchange and study. It turned out they had this plan...

If Long Aotian could find a way to bring Huo Yuhao back to the Body Sect...

Wang Yan knocked on the table and said, "Let's stop here for the exchange students. Next, I will announce the training program and assessment standards for the students."

……

Empire of the Sun and Moon.

Worship Hall.

"Master Kong, the underground black market soul guide competitions and the related incidents of frustrated soul guides must be effectively resolved. If left unchecked, they will likely become a festering cancer..."

Jing Hongchen stood in front of the desk, looking at the tall figure by the window, and analyzed in a deep voice the impact of the underground black market soul guide competition on the development of soul guides in the Sun-Moon Empire. He also told the story of how Huo Yuhao was almost taken away by the underground black market forces in detail, expressing his determination to ban the underground black market soul guide competition.

Kong Deming stared out the window, his eyes darkening as he spoke, "The underground black market Soul Master Competition and other activities involve the Holy Spirit Church's many interests. Eradicating them with drastic measures is definitely impossible. Not to mention the Holy Spirit Church's close partnership with the royal family, this problem is unavoidable in a country that values ​​Soul Masters."

"The current approach is to increase publicity and recruitment of young soul masters, and to attract those frustrated soul masters from the underground black market in Mingdu. We should increase subsidies for these people to prevent them from being poached by the Douluo Three Kingdoms with attractive conditions. After all, the Douluo Three Kingdoms is in urgent need of soul masters..."

Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "Master Kong, can we take relatively strong measures to allow those young soul masters in the underground black market who are willing to leave the black market and enter the Royal Academy or other academies to escape the oppression of the black market without pressure and smoothly enter the academy or some basic research institutes to study?"

Kong Deming thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "The Empire and the Holy Spirit Church will always have a cooperative relationship. This kind of cooperative relationship with the evil spirit masters, who can only lurk in the dark and cannot come out in the open to smear the Empire's reputation, is extremely fragile. Once the Empire unifies the world, the Holy Spirit Church will no longer have any reason to exist. Although this move will provoke the Holy Spirit Church, it is not impossible..."

As core members of the Sun-Moon Empire, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen naturally knew the interests and conflicts in the cooperation between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Church. They also knew that as long as the Sun-Moon Empire could achieve the unification of the world, both the old emperor and the crown prince Xu Tianran, who had the greatest hope of taking that position, would definitely use the power of thunder to wipe out the stain of the Holy Spirit Church that could ruin their reputation.

Although the Holy Spirit Church is powerful, the Sun-Moon Empire is not without powerful weapons to restrain it.

After receiving Kong Deming's affirmative answer, Jing Hongchen continued, "Master Kong, a few days ago, I took Yuhao and the others to visit Mingde Hall as you instructed. Afterwards, Yuhao said that the security and safety in the basement were too poor, and suggested that they be strengthened to prevent anyone from digging a tunnel to Mingde Hall..."

"Yuhao's proposal?" Kong Deming pondered.

Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "That's right, and according to reliable evidence, there are rebels and spies in the hall!"

Kong Deming frowned, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "You will personally go and secretly strengthen the guard and security of the basement. At the same time, strengthen the supervision and inspection within the hall, and try to uncover spies and rebels. If there is really a force digging a tunnel to Mingde Hall, we will catch the turtle in the jar and beat the dog behind the door. We will wipe out those who have ill intentions towards Mingde Hall in one fell swoop..."

Jing Hongchen nodded and said, "Okay, Master Kong."

……

Luoshan Garden.

It was dawn, and thin clouds and mist covered the entire Luoshan Garden. The rising sun shone through the window, casting a faint golden glow on the ground.

"I've finally perfected the Sky-Drifting Shuttle's functions and related blueprints. I hope the soul guide masters of Mingde Hall can help me create a low-profile version of the Sky-Drifting Shuttle."

Huo Yuhao looked at the piles of drawings and instructions on the table, leaned back in his chair tiredly, and couldn't help stretching.

The last time Jing Hongchen said that he wanted to borrow the hands of the soul guide masters in Mingde Hall to help him and his sister Hongchen create a ninth-level soul guide device to express his gratitude to them for pointing out the security issues in the basement of Mingde Hall, he had been thinking and imagining the function and construction of the Sky Shuttle. After spending several days, he finally completed it.

Huo Yuhao exhaled, put all the information needed to make the Sky Shuttle on the table into a wooden box, put it into the soul guide storage device, and then went to wash up.

After washing up, Huo Yuhao sat down cross-legged and began today's genetic energy training.

After practicing for these days, his warrior level was finally officially promoted to the general level, and he became a junior general-level warrior. As for his mental power level, it was still at the peak of the advanced general level, with no progress.

As the sun rose to noon and his body's absorption of cosmic energy approached saturation, Huo Yuhao finally completed today's genetic energy training. After having a simple breakfast in the cafeteria, he went to the dean's office to hand over the relevant information on the manufacture of the Sky Shuttle to Jing Hongchen.

After doing all this, he went to the forest on the outskirts of Mingdu to practice the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade.

The Nine-Layered Thunder Blade is the sword technique created by the Thunder God of the Devouring Star World. If it can be cultivated to a high level, it will surely unleash a super combat power that will dominate the world!

In addition, among the exquisite swordsmanship, Huo Yuhao can also feel the profound sword intent under the influence of the mysterious power of destiny in the Eye of Destiny!

The so-called sword intent is the artistic conception of the sword. Through continuous perception, one can reach the state of unity between man and nature in the process of practicing swordsmanship, and fully stimulate the sharpness of the sword, which has unimaginable terrifying power!

And now, Huo Yuhao has already sensed the existence of the sword intent, and has broken through the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword to the seventh level!

"Merge your spirit with the sword, and understand what the sword is..."

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and followed the movement of the sword. Every time he swung the sword, there was a dull sound of breaking through the air, as if the space was being cut apart.
