Chapter 229 Huo Yuhao: I only do three things in the Sun Moon Empire!
Has that guy who once seemed invincible, even able to break free from her crown star, really died?
On her stunningly beautiful face, a hint of reminiscence and sorrow was revealed.
She gently set down the star crown. The golden rhombus-shaped gem that symbolized the crown star, even after she and Xu Jiawei repeatedly activated it with their soul power, no longer had the brightness it once did.
She murmured to herself, "It seems—you really have fallen."
"What?! He's dead?! Kong Tianxu is really dead?!"
In Mingdu, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, a joyful shout rang out in the dormitory area.
With dark circles under his eyes, Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou in disbelief. When he heard that the other party had come excitedly to report the good news, he was first stunned, and then his eyes almost exploded with light.
"Second Brother, you're not lying to me, are you?"
He jumped off the bed, grabbed He Caitou's broad shoulders, and shook him violently a few times, his face contorted with a mixture of ecstasy and shock.
-
For the past four years since the end of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, he has been constantly thinking about revenge, about taking back everything that belongs to Shrek Academy, and about trampling that lofty, seemingly unattainable figure under his feet.
To achieve his ultimate solo plan, he studied and adapted relentlessly at the academy. However, once he arrived at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he discovered that very little of what he had diligently learned was actually effective.
In the past two years, he has been stumped in the most important area of stealing soul tool technology after his once infallible mental detection failed. Although he has made many attempts since then, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy has been on high alert and has not given him any chance to steal.
Left with no other choice, Huo Yuhao could only rely on his memory to forcibly memorize some of the core arrays of the soul tools. However, given his soul master level and the attitude of the Sun Moon Empire, the gains were minimal, and there was not even a trace of the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.
Even his soul power was increasing at a much slower pace than expected, remaining stuck at level 0, which made him feel extremely anxious and humiliated.
With the deadline for the exchange approaching, he became anxious and took a risk, using his newly acquired ability to infiltrate Mingde Hall from the beam. However, he was caught red-handed by a soul-guided device that detected temperature and was arrested on the spot, suffering quite a bit of hardship.
Given his special status and the fact that no actual damage was caused, coupled with the mediation of Xuan Ziwen and Ju Zi, the Mingde Hall did not impose excessively severe punishment on him. However, the method they used was even more unacceptable to Huo Yuhao than torture.
They don't let themselves sleep.
During his imprisonment, a blazing soul-guided micro-energy lamp shone almost from morning till night, directly facing his bed. The room was equipped with a timed, automatically beeping device; the sound wasn't loud, but it had a piercing quality, intensely stimulating his mental state. He couldn't calm himself at all after hearing it. The handcuffs he wore constantly tightened automatically with any movement. If he didn't struggle, it was fine, but if he struggled forcefully, they would tighten even more, his hands swelling and causing unbearable pain. Even blocking his five senses couldn't completely shut him out.
Once, he fell asleep while drinking water, before even taking a sip. Then, with a snap, he opened his eyes; the water was still lukewarm. And then there were those injections that made him extremely agitated—
Dark memories flooded back, and Huo Yuhao shivered coldly.
dare not think, dare not think.
In the end, it was Xuan Ziwen who helped cover it up by exchanging technology, and the matter was narrowly avoided being exposed to a higher level. However, Huo Yuhao's reputation was completely ruined at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and the Extreme Individual Soldier Plan was officially declared a failure in the face of reality.
He himself suffered quite serious aftereffects as a result. When He Caitou arrived, he was unusually taking a nap. However, he was afraid that Fan Yu and the others would worry, so he did not tell them the truth.
However, Huo Yuhao did not come away empty-handed during his two years at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. According to his understanding, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy did not have so many detection facilities a few years ago, and the root cause of all these changes was Kong Tianxu.
Now, the mountain that had been suffocating him has actually collapsed on its own?
Huo Yuhao's immense joy was beyond words. Recalling the hardships he had endured, a surge of emotions overwhelmed him, and Huo Yuhao was momentarily dazed, tears streaming down his face.
He Caitou hurriedly arrived in his wheelchair. Before he could catch his breath, Huo Yuhao jolted him so much that his dark, charcoal-black face even showed a touch of red.
He was initially shocked when he heard this earth-shattering news, but after the journey, he had calmed down considerably.
He patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "It's really Yuhao. Teacher Fanyu told me personally. You should pack your things quickly. The academy is worried that the Sun Moon Empire might have an overreaction after learning this news, so they specially sent an elder from the Sea God Pavilion who is good at speed to meet us."
"Let's go home."
Come back home?
No! No way! He hasn't accomplished anything in the Sun Moon Empire yet. Whether it's for the reconstruction of the Tang Sect or for the cultivation of Shrek Academy, he has to get something back.
As for the target of his extortion, he already has some clues.
"Second Senior Brother, I have some things to take care of. Wait for me, I'll be right back!" Huo Yuhao hurriedly said to He Caitou, then turned and rushed out.
With Kong Tianxu gone, he felt the whole world brighten up, and he didn't even have time to hide the almost overflowing excitement on his face.
He Caitou was left dumbfounded and stood there, but then a relieved smile appeared on his face.
That energetic junior brother, who always brings endless miracles, has finally returned.
The first person Huo Yuhao bumped into was Jing Ziyan.
"Hey, Shrek Thief, what are you up to with those dark circles under your eyes? It's fate that we meet. Yuhao, it's been a while since we last talked to you. Since we've run into each other today, how about we have a spar? I've learned a few new tricks lately."
With a smile, Jing Ziyan, who looked like a harmless middle-aged aunt, asked Huo Yuhao. Beside her stood none other than the sword fanatic Ji Juechen.
Upon seeing these two, Huo Yuhao's facial expression was no longer as stiff as before, but instead carried a mysterious and unpredictable smile.
If you were to ask who Huo Yuhao of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was most afraid of before, it would definitely not be Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, but these two in front of him.
Ever since Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen fought to a draw in a purely combat-skill sparring match, Huo Yuhao was considered Ji Juechen's darlings. Adding to this, Jing Ziyan, who loved a good spectacle and was equally combative, the two hit it off immediately. They would frequently seek out Huo Yuhao for sparring.
Huo Yuhao said he was annoyed with them, but in reality he knew very well that these two were probably his only two friends in the Sun Moon Empire besides Ju Zi.
Even when Huo Yuhao was universally hated, they still kept coming to him like glue, though of course Huo Yuhao wouldn't accept their kindness.
To Jing Ziyan's surprise, Huo Yuhao chuckled and didn't immediately refuse their challenge: "I'm afraid we can't fight. I'm about to return to Shrek Academy."
"7
"Why?" Ji Juechen raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, does that mean we'll never be able to spar with you again?" Jing Ziyan scratched his head in a very masculine manner.
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Don't ask me that. Besides, what's the point of fighting me all the time? If you're so capable, come with me to Shrek Academy. Once you get there, you'll have plenty of opponents if you want to fight."
He chuckled inwardly. With these two martial arts fanatics, once they arrived in Shrek City, wouldn't he be able to manipulate them however he wanted?
If we trick them into coming to the Tang Clan, we'll have two more powerful warriors!
Huo Yuhao was lost in thought as he looked intently at Ji Juechen. However, to his surprise, Ji Juechen flatly refused: "I'm not going."
"Huh? Why?" Huo Yuhao was stunned.
"I'm waiting for someone to come back. His combat skills once defeated me," Ji Juechen said hesitantly, rejecting him without even thinking.
Huo Yuhao's heart sank, and he immediately asked, "Kong Tianxu?"
Ji Juechen nodded.
Even in death, he still tries to ruin people's good deeds; he's a truly persistent ghost.
Huo Yuhao's gaze immediately turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "My 'Reign of the World' is only limited by my cultivation level; otherwise, I would never be inferior to him. And you probably don't know, do you? He's already dead. This is news from Shrek Academy. The reason I'm in such a hurry to end the exchange program is because of this. You won't be able to wait for him."
However, Ji Juechen simply wiped the extraterrestrial meteorite iron sword in his hand quietly.
"He won't die."
Huo Yuhao was taken aback and said urgently, "This news is—"
"He won't die." Ji Juechen interrupted Huo Yuhao, slowly raising his head. His eyes were truly like swords. "Your 'Ruling the World' is very strong, at least you've gone further than me, but compared to Kong Tianxu's 'Heavenly Commandment,' you're still far inferior in terms of realm."
Seeing Huo Yuhao's increasingly unpleasant expression, Ji Juechen showed no remorse for exposing his shortcomings and continued to add insult to injury: "Furthermore, I also dislike your method of training by incorporating all sorts of messy emotions like love into your combat techniques. My path doesn't need hindrances from emotions; I pursue the ultimate sword itself, not letting anything else overshadow it. I will be here, waiting for him to return."
Ji Juechen emphasized it again, and then he actually assumed a sword stance with the meteorite iron sword, seemingly unaware of the destructive power of his words. Jing Ziyan forced a smile at Huo Yuhao, but didn't say anything.
As expected of a foreign race, they dare to place even something as precious as love, which is worth sacrificing everything, behind their swords.
"Phew, you'll regret this."
Huo Yuhao was met with a tough rebuff, and his face turned extremely ugly. Since Ji Juechen held Kong Tianxu in such high regard but could not provide any assistance in the cause of Tang Sect's revival, he certainly wouldn't waste any more time arguing with him. After uttering a harsh remark, he turned and left.
Despite the setback, Huo Yuhao was not discouraged. Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan were just extras in his plan; it would be good if they were there, but it wouldn't matter if they weren't. The next two were the main event.
The second person approached Xuan Ziwen.
After a few steps, I arrived at my cheap mentor's laboratory. It was almost noon, and lunchtime was nearly over, but this level eight soul mentor, who was engrossed in research, was still in the laboratory.
After rethinking his wording and ideas, Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment before pushing open the laboratory door.
Before long, a heated argument and barely concealed soul power fluctuations could be heard from the well-soundproofed laboratory. After a long while, Huo Yuhao finally walked out of the door.
Although he looked exhausted, his eyes were full of excitement.
This time, Huo Yuhao learned from his mistakes, deeply considered Xuan Ziwen's key needs and his own core advantages, and directly demonstrated some things he had secretly pondered over the past two years: a preliminary soul tool model that was the result of fusing his partial understanding of the incomplete version of necromancy with the core magic array of the soul tool.
Despite its crudeness and the fact that it would require at least several hundred years of technological accumulation to realize, the completely different ideas and possibilities it presented finally impressed Xuan Ziwen.
Recalling the excited gleam in Xuan Ziwen's eyes, Huo Yuhao sneered inwardly, "Ji Juechen, just you wait and see. Once I master even greater power, I'll show you just how powerful true combat techniques combined with soul tools can be!"
After calming himself down a bit, Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to the top floor of the main office building of Mingde Hall.
The third person targeted Jing Hongchen, a giant in the Soul Master world of the Sun Moon Empire, the Master of Mingde Hall.
Today is the anniversary of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and Master Mingde will definitely be there. Huo Yuhao is absolutely confident that he can get something from Jing Hongchen.
After getting entangled with Lin Jiayi, Huo Yuhao, led by him, met Jing Hongchen, who had a half-smile on his face.
Although Lin Jiayi had a very bad impression of this dishonest young man, Jing Hongchen readily agreed to Huo Yuhao's request. In fact, he was very curious about what this genius boy from Shrek Academy wanted to see him about.
Could it be that he's going to switch allegiance to my Mingde Hall? It's not impossible!
Thinking of this, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but feel much better.
After a few pleasantries, Jing Hongchen sized up the young man before her. In the two years since, Huo Yuhao's physique had been somewhat hampered by the intense studying, but he had grown considerably taller and was now a young man, below average for his age. His physique was still quite fit due to years of training, but because he hadn't had enough rest, his already ordinary face looked rather withered, bearing the signs of a middle-aged man's dejection.
Seeing this, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but gently persuade him: "Yuhao, after this incident, I hope you can learn from it. You should not waste your precious youth on petty theft. You need to change this habit."
Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. He couldn't very well say that Shrek Academy taught him, could he? He had no choice but to avoid the topic. He reached for the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon at his waist and took out a black metal box, placing it in front of Jing Hongchen.
"Master Hongchen, I am very sorry about what happened last time. This is a small apology, please accept it."
