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

Chapter 160 When will Yuhao come back?
Vina said that her super brain was a bit slow to catch up, and Huo Yuhao's words left her confused.

Huo Yuhao didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"Princess Vina, is there some irreconcilable conflict between the Heavenly Soul and the Sun and Moon?"

contradiction?

That's just too many.

Whether it's military, political, or public opinion at the grassroots level, the attitudes of Tianhun, Riyue, Xingluo Empire, and Douling Empire are almost identical: they regard Riyue as the greatest threat.

This contradiction stems from both external and internal factors. The external factor is that Sun Moon is ambitious and wants to unify the continent, while the internal factor is that Heavenly Soul needs to provoke the nobles within the country and establish a formidable adversary outside.

The art of shifting contradictions.

Moreover, the war on the continent four thousand years ago made it impossible for the Heavenly Soul to come together with the Sun and Moon.

"Huo Yuhao, you said you wanted me to look at the problem from a different perspective, but no matter how I think about it, I don't think the Heavenly Soul can have any other attitude towards the issue of the Sun and Moon."

"The enmity between the two countries has a long history. The Body Sect is the Heavenly Soul Guardian Sect. My father will never allow the Body Sect to align itself with the Sun and Moon Sect. There is no room for negotiation."

Vina's words implied that the Body Sect was the guardian sect of Heavenly Soul, and Heavenly Soul would never allow Sun Moon to undermine Heavenly Soul in the matter of the Body Sect.

These words were neither based on strength nor on emotional appeal.

Her words, spoken directly to Huo Yuhao's face, sounded particularly abrupt.

Towards the sun and moon?

Huo Yuhao knew in his heart that this was inevitable. With him there, if a war broke out between the Sun Moon Kingdom and the original Douluo Kingdom, the Body Sect would definitely not follow the Heavenly Soul to their deaths one after another.

At the same time, he lost interest in Vina, or rather, the Heavenly Soul Empire behind her.

There's nothing to discuss?
Then let's not talk about it!
Originally, I had planned to reveal some of Dean Hongchen's plans so that Tianhun and Riyue could discuss the students' issues. But now it seems that Tianhun won't be able to offer much help.

To put it bluntly, as a feudal empire that primarily develops soul tools, Sun Moon has a demand for soul masters, but not many. For some soul masters with limited aptitude, sometimes relying on pills to increase their soul power and thus help them improve their soul master level is not necessarily a bad thing.

There's definitely no hope of winning him over, but it doesn't matter. He didn't really care about that kind of thing anyway. If the Dean is still interested in the exchange student thing when he gets back, then he can just exchange students with the Body Sect.

The Heavenly Soul's refusal to allow the Body Sect to side with the Sun and Moon is not something that can be accomplished simply by talking.

What leverage do they have?

Apart from Vina, a princess with a solid martial soul and decent aptitude who is politically close to the Body Sect, they really are nothing.

The Body Sect is a national protector sect, and to some extent, it is one of the foundations and combat forces of the Heavenly Soul. However, the initiative has always been in the hands of the Body Sect, and the royal family is like a representative supported by nobles and top forces.

They really think they're something special? That's not acceptable!
"Then let's not talk about it."

What do you mean?
Vina was completely bewildered. Wasn't she supposed to tell herself to look at things from a different perspective? Was she just trying to establish a strong stance to make herself appear tough and thus increase her leverage in the subsequent conversation?

Why is there suddenly nothing left to discuss?
Many disciples of the Body Sect witnessed the commotion just now, including her. She had also observed the actions and attitudes of some elders in the sect over the past few days.

Especially since their own sect leader openly and publicly designated Huo Yuhao as the next successor of the Body Sect, it's clear how much the sect leader and elders value his talent and strength.

And Huo Yuhao has proven this point in recent days.

Although he spent most of his time cultivating with the elders and didn't openly fight against the younger generation of the Body Sect, his ability to easily defeat Long Aotian, the number one genius of the younger generation of the Body Sect, already spoke volumes.

It seems like my first meeting with this person has fallen apart, leaving a bad impression. What kind of situation is this?

Does Huo Yuhao really not care about the Heavenly Soul at all? Why should he?!
"I need to rest. By the way, you can tell your father that I, Huo Yuhao, am not interested in matters concerning the Heavenly Soul and the Sun and Moon."

She was just a princess of an empire. He had already met several princesses of empires, including Xu Jiujiu of Xingluo and Xu Tianzhen of Riyue.
Even Crown Prince Xu Tianran didn't dare to take sides based on his status. Such a smart person can see clearly the background behind him and is unwilling to act rashly. As for Vina, such a naive and innocent girl, her value is really not that great.

Ultimately, Vina, a princess whose political standing is inferior to that of an ordinary prince, is not worthy of expressing her own opinion. It can only be said that she has been immersed in her own world for too long and has truly lost sight of the difference between the princes and the princesses.

Huo Yuhao left, leaving Vina alone, bewildered in the wind.

She looked at Gu Yuena, only to see that Gu Yuena was still sitting in her previous seat reading a book, showing no intention of paying any attention to her, which made her furious.

"Humph!"

She was the princess of the Heavenly Soul Sect, possessing twin martial souls and being a core inner disciple of the Body Sect; she had never suffered such humiliation. After Vina left, Gu Yuena slowly rose, entered the room, looked at Huo Yuhao, and then casually sat on the bed.

She didn't care about any princesses in the human world; all she cared about was Huo Yuhao.

Gu Yuena spoke slowly.

"Are we leaving?"

Nodding, Huo Yuhao said, "Let's rest for a few days first, then we'll set off back to Sun and Moon. When the time is right, we can move on to the next step of the plan."

Gu Yuena didn't press for details about the next step. In her eyes, Huo Yuhao could arrange everything perfectly, and she didn't need to waste her wisdom on it.

If I'm not mistaken, I might need to make another trip to the Lake of Life later, since Yuhao had previously mentioned that we should try to restore the ecology of the Sunset Forest.

The gold of living beings wouldn't be of much help to me, but if I could spare a portion to help Sunset Forest without harming the foundation of Star Dou Great Forest, that would be excellent.

Meanwhile, at the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Mingde Hall.

"Hahaha, this genius has finally become a level six Soul Master, a quasi-Soul Emperor. When Yuhao comes back, this genius will definitely give him a big surprise."

Xiao Hongchen couldn't hide his smile at all. After more than a year, he finally became a level six Soul Master, and with the help of resources, his Soul Power level also reached the peak of level fifty-nine.

In just over a year, with the help of countless resources and secret techniques, he not only leveled up his Soul Master rank by one level, but also increased his Soul Power by four levels.

This time, he didn't rely on any pills; it was all hard work and sweat. Especially with that bastard Ji Juechen, he had been harassed by this bastard a lot over the past year, and it could be said that a large part of the pressure came from this kid.

"Idiot brother, it's just a level six Soul Master, why are you so excited?"

Meng Hongchen, standing to the side, remained calm. More than a year had passed, and she was now sixteen years old, the same age as her older brother. After refining the ten-thousand-year-old Ice Heart Fruit, her soul power level had also reached the peak of level fifty-nine.

She even reached the level of a sixth-level Soul Master earlier than her brother, Xiao Hongchen.

"Tch, Meng, you're just talking without understanding the situation. Your brother is now a quasi-Soul Emperor. When Yuhao comes back, just wait and see if I can give him a good scare."

Xiao Hongchen was extremely confident, after all, he had kept in touch with his brother Huo Yuhao over the past year.

But when Yuhao left last time, he was only level 40. Even if his talent was extraordinary and the age of his fourth soul ring was far beyond that of others, plus the time he spent cultivating at the Body Sect, it shouldn't have been too high, right?
He's only level 50 at most now. After he comes back, they can hunt for the sixth spirit ring together, and he'll still be ahead, not being overtaken too quickly.

Meng Hongchen showed no mercy, waiting for his older brother's confidence: "Brother, have you forgotten how long it took Yuhao to upgrade from a Great Soul Master to a Soul Grandmaster?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's laughter vanished instantly, and his newly formed confidence was shattered, almost causing him to become withdrawn.

Yes, Yuhao leveled up more than twenty times in a year. Although there are many factors involved, it is also a reflection of his own ability.

Before leaving, Yuhao said that in addition to learning secret techniques and undergoing the Body Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony at the Body Sect, he also wanted to obtain an opportunity that belonged to him.

It's entirely possible that in the next year or so, their strength could actually experience explosive growth.

Could Yuhao become a quasi-Soul Emperor, soaring more than twenty levels again, just like me?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
No one can level up this many times every time. Even taking drugs can't improve that much. I, Xiao Hongchen, admit that Yuhao has unparalleled talent, but if he keeps improving like this, wouldn't he be able to achieve a title before he turns eighteen?
This is too much, it doesn't make sense. No matter how extraordinary a person is, there should be a limit.

"Meng, when is Yuhao coming back?" Xiao Hongchen chose to change the subject.

He'd been pent up for the past year—don't get me wrong, he was emotionally frustrated. After all, apart from Ji Juechen, the sword fanatic who often fought him, there wasn't a single young person in the academy he could stand.

But Ji Juechen is a battle maniac, and a battle maniac who specializes in the Soul Master route. It wouldn't be very interesting for me to fight him, you know? Of course, it's definitely not because I can't beat that kid.

Okay, actually we just can't beat them.

I don't know how Yuhao managed to do it. He's not even level 40 yet, but he's already able to fight Ji Juechen, that madman, to a draw.

Of course, Yuhao is an exception. For ordinary people like them, there is such a big age difference, and Ji Juechen has now become a Soul Emperor, so it is normal that he can't beat him.

If I had more time, I would definitely be able to surpass Ji Juechen and utterly crush him.

Moreover, if Huo Yuhao doesn't come back soon, he really won't be able to resist starting to cause trouble.
