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

Chapter 119 Xu Tianzhen, Orange
Clearly, Xu Tianran already knew that Huo Yuhao had become Du Busi's apprentice.

This is nothing to hide. Moreover, the fact that Master Kong sent a message to the royal family and mobilized the Soul Master Legion on the border of Sun Moon Bright Battle to launch a fierce attack already revealed a lot.

Of course, Xu Tianran's promise was only verbal. Even if Kong Deming knew about it, it wouldn't prove anything. After all, I didn't give him anything, so what could he refuse?

Ever since Huo Yuhao first made a name for himself at the Royal Soul Master Academy, he had been paying close attention to him. No one understood Huo Yuhao's importance better than him.

This importance is not about strength or status, nor about how much military power one holds, but about the future.

As Kong Deming's last disciple, Huo Yuhao is not only exceptionally talented, but also, once Kong Deming retires from worldly affairs, he will undoubtedly inherit Kong Deming's connections and power.

He won't be the next Kong Deming. He still has the Body Sect as his backer, which makes him even more terrifying. Moreover, although he is young, he has already demonstrated his abilities.

Just by looking at the attitudes of the two juniors of the Hongchen family and Jing Hongchen, you can tell that even the Mingde Hall will definitely support Huo Yuhao in the future, not to mention that he himself is an idol of the younger generation.

The importance of these things constructs an infinite future, and what they represent is comparable to, or even greater than, all the military power he currently holds.

That was their tactic, and both of them were smart enough not to say anything more.

Huo Yuhao and Xu Tianran arrived outside the Imperial Study and suddenly spoke.

"What is Your Highness's view on the Holy Spirit Cult?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianran's eyes narrowed; he naturally understood the meaning behind Huo Yuhao's words.

Concealing it would only make him appear hypocritical as the crown prince. He had already sent away the powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult in secret, and he had anticipated this situation, so he spoke frankly.

"They are usable but not trustworthy. If I succeed to the throne in the future, I will completely sever ties with them and support another force as my Sun Moon State Religion."

This was part of the plan; it was his true thought, and he wanted to convey it to Kong Deming and the Body Sect through Huo Yuhao.

Coupled with his previous veiled mention of the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao understood what this person meant. Clearly, this person also wanted to avoid having his reputation tarnished by the Holy Spirit Sect, a notorious evil soul master holy land, after inheriting the throne.

The meaning of making a complete break is very clear: it means abolishing the influence and existence of the Holy Spirit Church in the Sun and Moon region. Then, without the Holy Spirit Church, it is easy to understand who will become the state religion of the Sun and Moon region.

This was their first conversation. Xu Tianran didn't offer any benefits, but the promises he made in his words revealed his intentions.

The two watched the sunset together. Huo Yuhao's ambiguous attitude left Xu Tianran wondering what he was thinking. Xu Tianran thought that a genius like Huo Yuhao must be proud, so why was he so calm after making so many promises?

Does he not feel any attraction to power and status at all?

In Huo Yuhao's mind, the idea was even simpler. His pursuits were different from Xu Tianran's. His future would not be about power and status. Otherwise, what would be the difference between dating and the common sense of the lower class on the mainland? It would all be a waste of time.

Fortunately, a crisp footstep broke the silence between them.

"Brother, I went to Father's place but didn't see you. So you were here."

A lovely girl with delicate features, bright eyes, and an innocent smile appeared before them. Her eyes were large and bright, and she was observing Huo Yuhao with a puzzled look, as if wondering who this person standing next to her elder brother was. She also had a childlike innocence in her demeanor.

Standing beside her was a woman, a woman Huo Yuhao had seen when he first came to Mingdu, outside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

At this moment, both of them looked at Huo Yuhao, one with curiosity and the other with a complicated expression, as if they were suppressing something. Their astonishment and contradictions were intertwined, which was very strange.

Xu Tianran's eyes flickered. Since he knew that Huo Yuhao was not easily moved, he had a new idea.

“Yuhao, this is Tianzhen, my sister.” He then looked at Xu Tianzhen and introduced her, “Tianzhen, this is Huo Yuhao, the last disciple of Elder Kong, and also the number one genius recognized by our Sun Moon Empire.” “Didn’t you keep saying you wanted to study at the Soul Master Academy? Yuhao is the one you’ve always been curious about, the one who broke our Sun Moon’s record for the fastest to become a Level 3 Soul Master.”

His meaning was simple: since he couldn't win them over, he would slowly devise a plan.

Huo Yuhao is still young, and not much younger than his sister. So, making the two friends now might not be without its benefits.

Xu Tianzhen indeed approached Huo Yuhao, her little face filled with admiration and a hint of eagerness.

"Hello, I've heard of you. Your record as a Soul Master is truly impressive. However, I will break your record in the future and become a Soul Master genius who surpasses you."

"Furthermore, I will also participate in the next All-Continent Soul Master Battle Tournament, and I will bring the championship back to Sun Moon."

The little girl clearly didn't know what this record meant. If Xiao Hongchen were here, he would definitely give her a thumbs up and praise her for her courage.

Although Xu Tianran was suspicious by nature, he often showed an unusually indulgent attitude towards Xu Tianzhen, to which he would simply smile gently.

As the youngest princess in the royal family and Xu Tianran's younger sister, Xu Tianzhen was greatly favored in the royal family, not only by Xu Tianran but also by the old emperor.

Moreover, Xu Tianzhen has a lively and unconventional personality. Because she has been studying soul tool technology for many years, she has distanced herself from Xu Tianran's political ambitions.

Her martial soul is the Sun Martial Soul inherited by the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire. She is exceptionally talented and acts independently. She was not directly involved in her brother Xu Tianran's power struggle, so no one would target her.

Judging from his various behaviors, this person may not be as simple as he appears on the surface; he is quite clever.

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly and extended his right hand to shake hands with Yingying.

"I look forward to your performance."

In fact, with Xu Tianzhen's talent and martial soul, he could have gone much further and had a limitless future if he had pursued the path of a Soul Master. But since Sun Moon is the cradle of Soul Masters, it seems that one cannot integrate into this country without becoming a Soul Master.

He chose the path of Soul Master because of his talent. Being a Soul Master wouldn't hinder his Martial Soul cultivation. This is also the key reason why his two teachers unanimously supported his dual cultivation of Martial Soul and Soul Master. Try it on someone else.

The early stages were alright, but the later on, the complicated information about soul tools will give you a headache. There isn't the kind of detailed branching of soul tools that we'll see ten thousand years from now. Many soul tool masters research and manufacture their own products, making everything themselves.

In fact, compared to spending a lot of time and talent in the early stages of growth researching soul tools, Huo Yuhao preferred to let those with good martial soul talents first cultivate their soul power level, and then conduct soul tool research after encountering their own bottlenecks.

This way, one's soul power level won't be held back, and soul guidance research can proceed faster, just like Ye Xishui.

However, as mentioned before, the conditions of Sun and Moon are what they are. In terms of martial spirit, it is indeed inferior to Douluo Three Kingdoms. In addition, the improvement of soul power of soul masters depends on pills, so it is difficult to guarantee that a soul master can truly grow.

Moreover, this approach is too time-consuming. Sun Moon needs a soul tool to quickly widen the gap in combat power with the original Douluo Three Kingdoms. Based on this, the current situation is not surprising.

Xu Tianzhen never expected that Huo Yuhao, a universally recognized super genius, would be so easy to talk to, without any of the domineering and arrogant air of other geniuses.

Unlike Xiao Hongchen, that fool is incredibly arrogant. He was the empire's number one genius before, and he often said that he was delusional. Compared to him, Huo Yuhao is far too humble and doesn't mock him for overestimating himself at all.

And he's so handsome, with such beautiful eyes. It's unbelievable that such a perfect guy really exists in the world.

As for Huo Yuhao, he was already used to it. It's the underlying logic of this world: who wouldn't swoon over a handsome or beautiful person?

Xu Tianran was clearly satisfied. He coughed twice and laughed, "Tianzhen can spend more time with Yuhao in the future. My little sister is mischievous. When she enters the Royal Soul Master Academy, Yuhao, you can take care of her for me."
