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

Chapter 305 Remnant of the Holy Spirit, Daring to Scheme Against God? (4K)

night.

The underground Soul Guidance Device Arena in Dongyang City.

The crowd was as vast as the sea, and the atmosphere was bustling. Soul Masters, dressed in their exclusive attire, came from various factions of the Sun and Moon Sects and moved among them.

Although Sun Moon Brightness is the cradle and holy land of Soul Masters, this does not mean that Soul Masters in other parts of Sun Moon Brightness are much weaker.

With the royal family conducting martial soul awakening for commoners, other places in Sun Moon City, while perhaps not as high-level as Mingdu, a capital city, cannot compare in terms of sheer numbers.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is a sacred place that soul masters look up to, but if one's aptitude is insufficient, one will still be assigned to a local area after receiving education in Sun Moon City.

Just like Shrek Academy, if you don't have the qualifications to enter the Inner Academy and the Sea God Pavilion, you will eventually go back to where you came from, and most of you will take up positions in local areas.

There's no way around it; Soul Masters, like Soul Mentors, need resources. Besides the necessary Soul Power, metal resources are also an integral part of a Soul Mentor's needs.

In order to obtain resources, those soul mentors who are not qualified enough to receive higher education will naturally have to work hard for a better future.

It's like the difference between a rogue cultivator and a disciple of a sect.

The system is essentially the same as the one used by the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. The few differences that can be distinguished are that the number of Soul Master Academies in Sun Moon is far greater than that in the Three Kingdoms period.

The academies on the Sun and Moon side have almost sprung up everywhere. Under the system of awakening martial souls indiscriminately, the number of students required is extremely exaggerated.

Unlike in the Three Kingdoms period, where not only was awakening one's martial spirit difficult, but even after awakening, one still needed to rely on powerful noble families or large sects to enter the academy for study.

The difference between the two is like the difference between elite education and general education. As for which is better or worse, just look at how Sun and Moon can now suppress the Three Kingdoms.

Therefore, even though it was an underground Soul Master competition held in Dongyang City, which was far from the center, the rewards were so generous, and it was also the main city on the northern border, so there were quite a few high-level Soul Masters participating.

At the very least, along the way, Huo Yuhao had already sensed the presence of several level-eight soul masters, which was almost unimaginable before.

Even in Dongyang City, it was considered good if there were several level-eight soul masters guarding it in the past, especially now that the Sun Moon Kingdom has broken out into war with the Three Kingdoms.

Most of the capable and well-connected Soul Masters who wanted to make a name for themselves and had ambitions joined the army.

Because war is not only about crushing enemy countries and expanding territory, but also about plundering resources.

This doesn't mean that the rare metals in the Three Kingdoms region are necessarily superior to those in the Sun and Moon regions. Rather, the Soul Masters in the Sun and Moon regions are well aware that, compared to the almost fixed resource allocation in the Sun and Moon regions, the Three Kingdoms region, with its limited number of Soul Masters and underutilized resources, is a treasure trove waiting to be developed.

Such a treasure trove is not something even the royal family could fully claim. Even if they only get a small share, they would still be well-fed and prosperous. Otherwise, do you really think that besides the army, there are so many Soul Masters willing to risk their lives?

In general, Dongyang City can have level eight soul masters, but it's somewhat abnormal that there are still so many under the current circumstances.

However, Huo Yuhao didn't care. He didn't even consider a level eight soul master, let alone a level nine soul master.

It's just an insignificant competition. He wouldn't even bother to bluff in the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament, let alone here.

It's called the Underground Soul Master Tournament, but the word "underground" refers to a clandestine, unofficial private competition, not that it's actually located underground.

The arena is located in a bustling building, not far from the main city of Dongyang. This was done to ensure that the competition was under surveillance and to prevent any accidents from happening.

The competition is not just a test of soul tool making; there is also a battle between soul masters to watch. The rewards for the latter are different from those for the former, and there are other suitable prizes.

The entire competition area is divided into two parts, circular like a bird's nest. One part is for Soul Master competitions, and the other part is for Soul Master combat.

The two arenas are separated by a soul-guided barrier, ensuring that neither side disturbs the other.

The lower-level Soul Masters, being located below, could only selectively watch one side's match, while nobles and renowned powerhouses had exclusive boxes located above.

At the top, you can not only see both the Soul Tool making competition and the Soul Master combat competition at the same time, but you can also choose to place bets and have everything under your control.

However, Huo Yuhao clearly underestimated his own fame and the influence of his group.
The Sun Moon Empire's number one genius, especially after two All-Continent Soul Master Tournaments and the title promotion ceremony during the previous tournament, had already brought him into the sight of most of the Sun Moon Empire's upper echelons.

So the moment he entered the top-level private room, the highest-ranking official in Dongyang City noticed his group.

It's important to know that even private rooms have different levels. Huo Yuhao and his group were using the privileges of the Hongchen family, which is second only to the emperor's direct line. As long as the highest authority in Dongyang City isn't a fool, they would be able to find out the news and guess who it was.

He doesn't need to curry favor; plenty of people below him are willing to. And the seemingly powerful highest-ranking official of a city can have his future fate decided with a single word from someone like Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao wouldn't do that. On the contrary, he was happy that outsiders wouldn't bother him. After all, it was just a whim, a way to relax before the end of his voyage.

But the highest-ranking official in Dongyang City didn't think that way, so he didn't care about anything else at the moment and immediately rushed over.

"Greetings, His Majesty the End."

The city lord of Dongyang City is named Wang Xinteng, uh, he is the younger brother of the former city lord of Dongyang City, Wang Yiheng, who is also the current commander of the Evil Monarch Soul Master Legion. They belong to the same Wang family lineage and are a staunch supporter of Xu Tianran.

At this moment, he didn't dare to breathe loudly. Not to mention Huo Yuhao, the End Douluo, each of the others was the most dazzling genius in the empire. It could be said that the future of the empire, no, even the present empire, needed to be served with utmost care.

With all members holding titles or near-titles, and at the very least being level eight Soul Masters, even His Majesty would have to treat him with utmost care, let alone the highest-ranking official in the main city.

Huo Yuhao gave a few perfunctory words, and since he was already there, he decided to find something for this person to do.

"Go and investigate secretly to see if there is a genius named Ye Guyi in the Ordinary Alliance whose martial soul is the Holy Angel."

"By the way, do it quietly, without attracting attention."

He felt that if he didn't cause this guy some trouble, things would definitely not be peaceful today; this guy would definitely find a way to serve them.

"Yes!"

Wang Xinteng was very excited. It was good to have something to do. Having something to do proved that these people were not here to cause him trouble. At most, they were just a few powerful newcomers. If he did well, he might even get promoted and come into the sights of important people.

After she left, Gu Yuena seemed to know something, and gave a sly smile, while Meng Hongchen and Yu Qiu'er were completely confused.

"Yuhao, why are you specifically looking for someone with the Holy Angel Martial Soul? Is the other person a super genius?"

Compared to Yu Qiu'er's question, Meng Hongchen pinched her chin, tapped her forehead with her index finger, and smiled.

"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten about Yuhao establishing an organization?" "Instead of building something from scratch step by step, it's better to directly annex other decent forces. This will not only save time, but also allow for rapid expansion."

"I think Yuhao is definitely after the Ordinary Alliance behind Ye Guyi. Ye Guyi is probably just a pretext. After all, there are no evil soul master organizations like the Holy Spirit Cult that need to be eradicated now."

Huo Yuhao said nothing, which was taken as tacit agreement with their guesses. Then he shared his mental detection, which he hadn't used for a long time, with the two women. The entire city was covered, and the scene was immediately visible to Yu Qiu'er and Meng Hongchen.

With their senses focused on this reasonably sized arena, the two men dressed in black, standing out brightly among the spectators, had nowhere to hide.

"This is."

Yu Qiu'er and Meng Hongchen exchanged a glance. Evil Soul Master? There are actually Evil Soul Masters?
"Yuhao, who are they? Weren't all the evil soul masters in the Sun Moon Realm wiped out by the Empire? How come there are still some?"

"That's right, and from what I sensed, they are definitely all Super Douluo level powerhouses. How come the Sun Moon Empire still allows such guys to operate within its territory?"

Huo Yuhao withdrew the sharing, his tone somewhat mocking.

"It is true that the Holy Spirit Cult and its subordinate organizations within the territory were wiped out, but back then, in order to prevent the Holy Spirit Cult's high-ranking members from resorting to desperate measures and, incidentally, to cause some amusement for the Three Kingdoms, the Empire exiled them to the Three Kingdoms."

"It's understandable that these restless guys would sneak in again."

As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Ji Juechen couldn't wait to ask.

"Who are those two guys?"

Xiao Hongchen went to the Soul Master Competition to crush some weaker opponents, while Long Aotian, influenced by the former, also went to the Soul Master Competition to relax. Therefore, Huo Yuhao was accompanied by Ji Jue, a guy who wasn't interested in anything.

"Oh, a crazy woman and an old dragon. According to the Holy Spirit Cult, one is the Supreme Leader and the other is the Chief Religious."

"They are two of the few strong individuals who survived the Shrek Academy explosion, so it's normal that you can't sense their specific strength."

It is widely known that there are no normal people in the Holy Spirit Cult.

Huo Yuhao sensed the presence of these two guys as soon as he entered Dongyang City, but he didn't pay much attention to them.

He couldn't understand why Ye Xishui would still dare to enter the Sun and Moon territory when the Holy Spirit Cult had fallen to such a state.

He had almost forgotten about these two guys, but now they've delivered themselves right to his doorstep.

And that old dragon, he really is the number one simp in the Douluo Continent, well, maybe he doesn't even deserve that title.

You said the Holy Spirit Cult is gone, and Shrek Moon is dead. Why don't you just settle your old scores and live in seclusion with this crazy woman? Instead, you insist on courting death.

Although their motives for appearing here are unclear, considering the previous inexplicable appearance of several level-eight soul masters, even a fool would know they weren't up to any good.

Whether they were fantasizing about restoring the Holy Spirit Cult or something else, Huo Yuhao didn't care, because the outcome was already predetermined the moment they appeared before him.

"No wonder."

Upon hearing this, Yu Qiu'er and Meng Hongchen knew who it was, and Ji Juechen couldn't help but touch the hilt of his sword.

Fighting such a veteran powerhouse, especially one where there's no need to worry about their life or death, would definitely be very interesting.

Huo Yuhao instructed Wang Xinteng to investigate Ye Guyi, and to do so discreetly, also wanting to see what this crazy woman and that old dragon were plotting.

Because he suddenly thought of a very interesting possibility.

That crown prince—no, now we should say Emperor Xu Tianran of the Sun Moon Empire—might not be as friendly to him as he thought.

Previously, the Holy Spirit Cult had been intimately entangled with the Sun and Moon Royal Family. Xu Tianran chose to eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult, which was no longer suitable for his use and even posed a threat, in order to maintain a semblance of legitimacy and to avoid leaving a stain on his future reputation.

But this doesn't mean he doesn't need the Holy Spirit Cult as a weapon, especially now that the Holy Spirit Cult's lower and upper levels have been completely wiped out and pose no threat whatsoever.

In the eyes of a competent emperor, there are only two words: interests and whether they are suitable for use. These two are perfectly good tools, and after the destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult, Xu Tianran can be said to have completely severed ties with this evil organization.

After all, no one would have imagined that an emperor who personally eliminated an evil organization would secretly use that organization to achieve some ulterior motives.

As for the hatred over the destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult, stop joking. Everyone knows that the Holy Spirit Cult of the past is gone. Some prodigal sons should be laughing all the way to the bank; they have no right to refuse.

Besides, who says the downfall of the Holy Spirit Cult must be linked to the royal family? It was clearly the Offering Hall and the Mingde Hall that struck first. The royal family had always been the Holy Spirit Cult's most 'loyal' partner.

Sneaking in like this, and it's Dongyang City, which he was bound to pass through—don't be ridiculous, even Huo Yuhao himself didn't believe such a coincidence existed in this world.

Don't blame him for making connections to the current emperor, Xu Tianran; only he has the ability and the capacity to do this.

Since that's the case, then I'm sorry, but once the war ends, the Sun and Moon Royal Family will ultimately have no reason to exist.

Coincidentally, among the positions that Old Huo reserved for the new era, there was no place for the Sun and Moon royal family.

"Yuhao, are they coming for us?"

Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao and found that this boring game was actually quite interesting at this moment.

When did some ants become worthy of scheming against the gods?
"You're right, but to be more precise, they're coming for me."

remarkably brave.

Meng Hongchen and Yu Qiu'er gave each other a thumbs up in unison, praising the two members of the Holy Spirit Sect.

This isn't the way to commit suicide; you're definitely going to die.

the other side.

Ye Xishui's face was hidden under her black robe, and she still dressed in a way that was out of place with her surroundings.

According to the Continental Law, anyone who doesn't wear a black robe isn't a demonic spirit master, and without a black robe, one can't do bad things. Yet, no one seems to think there's anything wrong with this obviously abnormal attire.

"Xiaoyao, I saw him."
