Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 241 The Excited Leng Yulai
On the other side, Hyotei, overhearing their discussion, frowned and said, "Even based solely on the paper strength I've learned from Yuhao, Shrek Academy and its related forces are not to be underestimated. If it really escalates into a full-scale war, even the Spirit Pagoda will find it extremely difficult to handle. Letting the Federation take the lead in dealing with this matter won't be easy either, will it?"

The Federation's strength is certainly not weak. For example, the Central Legion, which is used to counterbalance the Temple of War, has a large number of strategic soul-guided weapons, including high-level fixed-position soul-guided shells, concentrated in the Central Legion and directly under the command and dispatch of the Council.

The Central Legion's base has over one hundred Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, as well as a super launch silo that can deliver these shells to any location on the Douluo Continent, demonstrating the Central Legion's strength.

But let's not even talk about whether these legions, each with its own garrison duties, can be mobilized. Even if they were, weapons of mass destruction could easily backfire in dealing with such a situation.

Or rather, what Hyotei was worried about was the Federation going to extremes, thus sowing the seeds of future trouble.

Huo Yuhao could understand Bingdi's thoughts.

If things went as they did in the original story, and the Federation dared to unleash a god-slaying soul-guided cannon in Shrek City, Huo Yuhao didn't know if Shrek Academy would be destroyed. However, he did know that every single member of the Federation's top leadership would have to step down, or even die to atone for their sins. Their descendants would be cursed and reviled for the rest of their lives, and even greater turmoil would ensue within the Federation.

This time, the Holy Spirit Cult cannot be blamed. Everyone knows it was a purge by the Federation targeting Shrek Academy, and no one can be held responsible for the lives of millions of people.

Even setting aside Shrek City, if the students of Shrek Academy were to indiscriminately kill all the outstanding juniors of these major soul master families and not give them a chance to "repent," it would cause a lot of trouble.

For example, if you were to directly label Yue Zhengyu as an evil soul master, would they agree to such a slap in the face to the Angel Family?

The biggest problem with academies is networking. After so many years of development, there are quite a few people and soul master families associated with Shrek Academy.

There are Shrek Academy students in the military's high command, Shrek Academy students in other academies... even members of Congress have Shrek Academy students. If we don't want to give them any ammunition or a chance for Shrek to be overturned and rebuilt, the Federation can't use extreme measures to kill them all off.

This operation must be a trial of Shrek, not a massacre. The starting point must be just, and the process and outcome must also be just.

Only in this way can we silence everyone and kill any hope of Shrek's resurgence at its root.

"A single move can affect the whole situation. The actual controllers of the Federation now are the large and small Soul Master families. The Federation's higher-ups have finally obtained a suitable weapon, and they will handle it with caution."

Huo Yuhao said, "As for the inevitable growing pains, how could we possibly eliminate a force that has stood in the Douluo Federation for tens of thousands of years without paying a price?"

In any case, the current situation is much better than in the original story.

In the original story, the total strength of the forces associated with Shrek Academy was at least half the strength of the entire Federation, and in the end, the bizarre situation arose where the four major forces of the Federation belonged to the same family.

If that's the case, and there's no one to take the blame, you really need to think carefully before taking action.

Ice Emperor shook his head. "My concern is not only about this. Since the Holy Spirit Cult and Star Luo have already schemed against Shrek Academy, they may very well interfere again and cause more chaos during the Federation's internal strife."

"If that's the case, why not let Shrek Academy use its remaining strength to destroy Star Luo and Holy Spirit Cult before settling accounts?"

Huo Yuhao and Xue Di exchanged a glance and smiled at each other:
"Ice Emperor, you've got it wrong. Xu Chengzhi's approach is very clever. The knife he's handed us forces us to choose the latter over Star Luo, Holy Spirit Cult, and Shrek Academy. After all, some opportunities, once missed, may not come again."

Hyotei was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening and nodded thoughtfully.

Oh, I see. She misunderstood.

What kind of knife did Xu Chengzhi hand to the Federal Government?
Shrek Academy has been accused of treason and betrayal, with some of its Soul Masters falling into evil ways and suspected of having ties to the Holy Spirit Cult. Given this situation, can they defeat the Holy Spirit Cult and Star Luo Cult before turning their attention back to Shrek Academy?
No, because there's no reason left!

Shrek Academy participated in the war and destroyed Star Luo and Holy Spirit Cult with their actions. How can you say that he colluded with Holy Spirit Cult and Star Luo?
That would be slander!

Shrek now has more room to argue, making it much more difficult to deal with them than it is now.

The other spirits nearby suddenly understood, and Tianmeng exclaimed in admiration.

"As expected, it's an open scheme. Even after following you, Yuhao, for ten thousand years, I still can't compare to you humans when it comes to these kinds of intricacies."

Look how dirty their intentions are! Their purpose and intentions are laid bare, yet they've grasped the Federation's demands, forcing the Federation to proceed according to plan. No wonder they're the Emperor of Star Luo.

Huo Yuhao and Xue Di discussed the matter of eliminating Shrek Academy for a long time and then sent the news back to the Spirit Pagoda.

The initial tremors may erupt before they return to the Douluo Federation, so the Spirit Pagoda needs to prepare in advance.

After completing these tasks, Huo Yuhao returned to the delegation's residence in Xingluo. He was then pulled aside by Leng Yulai, who looked him over with a strange and shocked gaze, pointing at Jialin, whom Gu Yuena was holding in the distance.

Where did that child come from?

Although someone had already told her not to pay too much attention to Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's actions, how could she remain calm after the two of them went out and brought back a child at the 20th level of the Innate Realm?

The limit for a Soul Master's innate Soul Power is level 10. The only record for innate level 20 is the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul from 20,000 years ago, which was a God-given Martial Soul!

Jialin's origins are clearly extraordinary, and she is very likely related to deities!

"Pick it up."

Seeing Leng Yulai's disbelieving expression, Huo Yuhao shrugged and laughed, "Your Majesty Dark Phoenix, if you weren't picked up, where else could you have come from?"

Leng Yulai was speechless for a moment.

She really wanted to say, how could a prodigy at the 20th level of the Innate Realm possibly appear in such a wretched place as Xingluo?

However, there is no other reasonable explanation besides this one.

After all, it couldn't possibly be Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's child, right?
After much thought, Leng Yulai decided not to dwell on the topic any further.

"The encirclement and suppression is about to begin. You will all be going to fight, so leave the children in my care."

Regardless of where the child came from, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena have now taken them in, and they belong to their Spirit Pagoda.

With a level 20 innate talent, coupled with the innate spiritual power she discovered through her investigation and equally impressive physical strength, this child is a prodigy no less than Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao. Her starting point is even higher than theirs, and her future achievements are absolutely immeasurable!
With Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena preceding them, and Jia Lin following them, their Spirit Pagoda may be about to usher in its most prosperous era!
