Chapter 142 The Demon Emperor Arrives
After retrieving the intelligence from the secret location agreed upon with Tang Yi, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle.
"This Dai Huabin," Huo Yuhao said, burning the intelligence, "is really grasping at straws in desperation."
"They actually dare to set their sights on Haotian Fortress."
Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location for the next transaction, Huo Yuhao secretly left Tang Yi a few spirit fruits before departing.
Tang Yi was willing to pass on intelligence, and the risks he took far outweighed the spiritual fruits, so Huo Yuhao naturally couldn't treat him unfairly.
Based on the intelligence provided by Tang Yi, Wang Dong ultimately did not agree to Dai Huabin's spy plan.
Although she was easygoing, she could still see that Dai Huabin was using Haotianbao as a pawn.
Therefore, it was impossible for Wang Dong to agree to Dai Huabin's request.
The main purpose of Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng impersonating Dai Hao and Dai Yueheng was to sow discord between Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiawei.
In Huo Yuhao's eyes, Dai Huabin was nothing more than a grasshopper in autumn, who wouldn't last long.
Killing him would be too easy; there would be no need for much effort.
Making Dai Huabin struggle before his death would only add a little bit of fun, better than nothing.
Upon returning to the Star Emperor Hotel, Huo Yuhao immediately went to the conference room.
This time, the people who came to the conference room were not only from the Di'ao Second Team, but also from the Di'ao First Team and Tianzheng Academy.
Tianzheng Academy is a long-established soul master academy in the Tianhun Empire.
This is the academy that is most averse to soul tools; there is no soul tool branch within the academy.
The situation of this competition is already very clear: it is a political game played by various countries relying on their own academies.
Therefore, as a strong team within the Heavenly Soul Empire, Tianzheng Academy was naturally included in the overall strategic plan.
In the conference room, Ye Wuqing, the captain of Tianzheng Academy, was talking quietly with Jiang Peng.
Meanwhile, Yu Mengdi, with her long, bright golden hair, was whispering to Long Aotian.
The girl's meaning was very clear: she hoped to join Long Aotian's Celestial Guard after she graduated.
There are two main reasons why she did not choose the Azure Dragon Guard.
Firstly, once Xingyan and Tianmeng are officially promoted, the core of the Azure Dragon Guard will be full, and Yumengdi does not want to join as a subordinate member.
Secondly, it's because of the Azure Dragon Guard, a den of dragons that believes in might makes right, which is really incompatible with her Angelic Martial Soul.
On the contrary, the Celestial Guard, a team based on the concept of harmony between heaven and man, has a certain degree of compatibility with the Angelic Martial Soul.
The three beasts, Di Tian, Xue Di, and Bi Ji, left mysteriously this morning and their whereabouts are unknown.
Now, only Jin Peng and the team leader from Tianzheng Academy are resting symbolically against the wall in the conference room.
Di Tian and Bi Ji are Gu Mingxi's parents who accompany her to study.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Soul Empire, allowing them to lead a team here was already a great honor.
Although Xue Di has the title of Honorary Dean of Di Ao, the Heavenly Soul Empire cannot let her do everything herself.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Soul Empire, it was enough for the Snow Empress and Emperor Tian to simply display their power as a force of might.
More often than not, Jin Peng personally leads the team.
When Huo Yuhao walked into the conference room, everyone fell silent and all eyes turned to him.
"Earl of the Azure Dragon." That's the title used at Tianzheng Academy.
"Captain Huo." Jiang Peng stood up and gestured for Huo Yuhao to take the seat of honor.
Huo Yuhao waved his hand: "Today is just a routine meeting, please make yourself at home."
He then looked around at everyone and said, "I won't go into detail about the rules of the round-robin tournament."
"Based on the information I obtained from the other Heavenly Soul Academies, the one most likely to be grouped with Shrek Academy in the round-robin tournament is Heavenly Zheng Academy."
"Based on their performance in the opening match, Ma Xiaotao and Yao Haoxuan were severely injured by the Soul Guidance Cannon this time, so it is very likely that they will not be able to participate in the round-robin tournament."
"With Chen Zifeng still absent, they are very likely to field Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's Netherworld White Tiger this time."
"The other substitute player may be either Bei Bei or Xu Sanshi."
"I think the most likely candidate to play is Xu Sanshi."
Since the Heavenly Soul Empire intended to use Xue Lingxun to put pressure on the Xuanming Sect, it naturally conducted in-depth research and investigation on the Xuanming Sect members who had traveled across the continent throughout the ages.
The Xuanming Sect possesses an extremely useful soul skill called Xuanming Replacement.
It was precisely because of this soul skill that Huo Yuhao guessed that Xu Sanshi was very likely to come on as a substitute.
"Regardless of whether Xu Sanshi has this skill or not, we should be prepared for the possibility that he does."
Ye Wuqing said, "Tianzheng Academy will make tactical arrangements based on the Xuanming replacement."
"In addition, we will also launch a concentrated attack on the Rainbow Dragon, Gongyang Mo."
"That's right."
Huo Yuhao unfolded a tactical diagram: "So when we face Shrek Academy in the round-robin tournament, we will need to make such a deployment."
The expressions of the students from Tianzheng Academy changed one after another.
"Intentionally guiding the Netherworld White Tiger to steal credit?"
Inside the meeting room, everyone gathered around the tactical map, constantly discussing every detail of how to counter the Shrek team.
Finally, Huo Yuhao said, "In the round-robin group stage, two teams from each group will advance."
"What Tianzheng Academy needs to do is, while ensuring its own combat strength is intact, to guide the Netherworld White Tigers to disrupt their own team formation as much as possible."
The meeting continued late into the night, with everyone repeatedly analyzing every possible scenario.
That's fine.
Huo Yuhao put away the blueprints: "Tomorrow is the first day of the round-robin tournament, everyone get some rest."
Everyone left the meeting room one after another.
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to leave, Gu Mingxi suddenly reached out and grabbed him: "Come with me."
"Father, Mother, and Dean Su just returned before the meeting started, and they asked me to call you over."
"They said they had something important to discuss."
The people from Di'ao Academy and Tianzheng Academy had no doubts.
After Huo Yuhao and Gu Mingxi arrived at Di Tian's room, Di Tian got straight to the point: "Two pieces of news."
"The Demon King arrived this morning."
He said an uninvited guest had come to the Star Dou Great Forest, and his name was Demon Emperor.
"And this Demon Emperor's true identity is that of the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King from ten thousand years ago."
"She was the deep-sea demon whale that destroyed Seagod Island along with the Holy Spirit Cult."
"She came to the Star Dou Great Forest this time to discuss cooperation with me."
Huo Yuhao's pupils dilated slightly: "The Demon Emperor?!"
Di Tian said in a deep voice, "What can be confirmed now is that the Demon Emperor has indeed cooperated with the Holy Spirit Cult."
"Moreover, Ye Xishui is still alive, and her cultivation has reached the Limit Douluo level."
Huo Yuhao frowned.
"The Demon Emperor didn't go into too much detail," Di Tian continued, "but this is the first piece of news I want to tell you: the Demon Emperor will join Shrek Academy as the current High Priest of the Sea God."
"She used some unknown method to refine Chen Fuhai's martial soul. Now, she has none of the ferocity of a soul beast, only the boundless vastness of the sea."
