Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, am the Master of Spirit

Chapter 391 The "Miracle" of the Holy Grail and Herzog's Film

The news that the Sun and Moon Empire was going to hold a coronation ceremony was spread to all parts of the world almost as soon as the planning was completed.

The monthly O5 meeting was also successfully held, and Otto formally extended an invitation to the mainland at the meeting, since the O5 meeting can basically represent the entire mainland.

Di Tian and Xue Di didn't care. Di Tian would go depending on the situation. If the master and Gu Qiu'er went there, he would go too.

Xue Di, on the other hand, was following Huo Yuhao's arrangements. She wasn't interested in this kind of grand ceremony for humans. Rather than watching the battles between the weak, she preferred to learn more about mathematics and alchemy, so as not to fail the exams and be thrown into the dark room by Electrolux.

Hyotei has been imprisoned for half a year and has long forgotten what the world is like; his eyes are only on the classics.

Su Tong represents passion and the Spirit Pagoda. If nothing unexpected happens, when Huo Yuhao steps down, she should be the one to inherit the position of the Spirit Pagoda's master, because only she meets the requirements for succession.

The Sun Moon Empire is also within the influence of the Spirit Pagoda and is an indispensable part of the Soul Spirit system, so she naturally needs to participate as well.

Representing the Soul Master community, Moon agreed to Otto's proposal after a moment's thought, suggesting that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament be held concurrently with the coronation ceremony.

The emergence of the Magic Network and the landing of the Sea God family have indeed changed many things. The entire land gradually merged into one without anyone realizing it. The cultures of the four great empires are not actually that different. Compared to the sea where they do not even speak the same language, the Sun and Moon Empires seem much more civilized.

The Magic Network has brought all intelligent life closer together, and the direct communication channels have helped avoid many conflicts and wars.

The Sea God family has indeed brought an inescapable shadow of war to the continent, and the appearance of a grand event is very helpful in changing the low-pressure atmosphere in the Soul Master world.

Moreover, this could also bring the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire closer together, further preventing the outbreak of war.

In the end, the only beneficiary of the war between the Douluo Three Kingdoms and the Sun Moon Empire will be the Sea God Family.

Previously, Moon did indeed believe that the Sun and Moon Empire was an enemy that had to be guarded against and eliminated, but now, the appearance of the Magic Network has changed his mind, and the Sun and Moon Empire does indeed belong to the continent.

There are no major barriers in communication among the people of the four countries, and they can easily accept each other.

Many forces on the mainland have begun to make contact with the Sun Moon Empire. For example, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has long been openly trading with the Sun Moon Empire.

As far as Mu En knew, Long Aotian, the prodigy of the Body Sect, had once appeared at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, seemingly to learn about soul tools.

Mu En couldn't really see the future development of the world very clearly. He was too old, and his lifespan of three hundred years as a Limit Douluo was coming to an end, and his thinking had begun to become rigid.

The world is now too chaotic. Parallel lines that would never have intersected have begun to intertwine under the manipulation of fate, and the collision of various forces has created new stories.

But he knew very well that the world was running forward at full speed, faster than the past ten thousand years combined.

This era is the best of times for both humans and spirit beasts.

What he can do now is not to pave the way forward. As a remnant of the old era, he doesn't have that ability. He should leave it to young people like Bai'er. If he can't pave the way, then he should lay the foundation, remove all obstacles, and leave behind a clean future.

…………

"Cough cough cough!!"

On the playground of the Xiru City Research Academy, a series of rapid coughs rang out. A blonde girl sat hunched over on a chair by the edge of the playground, while a white-haired girl gently patted her back and said:

"Everyone says not to drink too quickly after training, or you'll choke to death and be on the front page of the Magic Network the next day."

Gu Qiu'er paused for a moment, then regained her energy and said, "It's alright, it's alright, my body can take it."

"There's a practical lesson coming up later, so you'd better be careful."

Ilya looked at her with some helplessness. Ever since she met Gu Qiu'er, she felt like she had become a mother. This golden shaded dog seemed to have inexhaustible energy to vent and liked to do all sorts of extreme pranks. Perhaps only going to class could suppress her nature.

No wonder Uncle Di Tian likes to send Gu Qiu'er to school; at this rate, she could probably tear the house apart in less than a week.

On the other side of the playground, a black-haired girl looked around. When she saw the two of them with her orange eyes, she ran over to them.

Ilya smiled and said, "Miyu, is your training over?"

"Well, it's over."

The black-haired girl nodded, her voice calm and even, exuding a slightly aloof and detached aura.

Ilya pushed Gu Qiu'er aside, making room for Miyu in the chair, and patted the person next to her to indicate that Miyu should sit down and rest together.

Meiyou adjusted her skirt and sat down between the two without ceremony. Gu Qiu'er clung to Meiyou's arm like a golden retriever, resting her head on Meiyou's shoulder, and said in a coquettish tone:

"Miyu~ Can I copy today's math homework? That damn Laplace transformation, I don't understand it at all."

You wouldn't want to see your poor classmate in front of you being made to stand outside as punishment by that bald math teacher, would you?

Before Miyu could speak, Ilya puffed out her cheeks and smacked Gu Qiu'er on the head, saying, "You idiot! Last time I lent you my homework, and you copied your name too, which got us both called in for parent-teacher meetings!"

This reminded Gu Qiu'er that last time she was copying homework in such a hurry that she copied Ilya's name as well, and as a result, the bald teacher notified the homeroom teacher, who in turn notified her parents, namely Di Tian.

Ilya's mother, Irisviel, and Gu Qiu'er were scolded by their homeroom teacher for a full hour.

The mighty Beast God didn't dare to utter a single word in rebuttal, but silently made a mental note of Gu Qiu'er's name.

Irisviel was alright; she just teased Ilya for a while when she got home. But Gu Qiu'er suffered the consequences. She was severely reprimanded by Di Tian, ​​and the game section of the Magic Network was banned. Now, if she wants to play games, she has to spend money to go to the arcade.

Is the developer of MagicNet, 'Yege,' out of their mind?! It's one thing to register her as a minor, but why release a family supervision function? It allows Ditian to remotely control the opening of her game section.

Did these minors eat rice from the "Yege" family's house, or did they destroy the world in their past lives? This stinky pigeon is always finding ways to torment minors.

Gu Qiu'er's pretty face fell, but she cheered up again and said coquettishly, "That time was just an accident, an accident. I always correct my mistakes, and I will definitely not make a mistake this time."

"Please, I'll treat you to a movie this weekend."

"Didn't I hear there's a new movie called 'Dragon Raja: Dawn of Fire'? The director is Herzog."

"It seems like an alias; I don't know what his real name is."

"I heard the reviews are great, so I can go relax this weekend!" Movies have been around for three years, but they've only started to develop like crazy in the last two years, and now big cities all have cinemas.

With the groundwork laid by Magic Network videos and live streaming, Douluo Continent showed a high level of acceptance for this novel concept.

Ilya was somewhat tempted. This movie was very popular on the magic network. Apart from the protagonist being a bit unlikable, the plot and setting were quite good. It was said to be a modified version of the Dragon God War.

In recent years, the Dragon God War has been a hot topic in mainland China, with various related novels, videos, and games emerging one after another.

People in the fantasy world have always held special fantasies about the ancient times.

The idea that the older something is, the stronger it becomes is a unique phenomenon in the fantasy world.

Have you seen the news about the Sun Moon Empire's coronation ceremony on the Magic Network recently?

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is going to be held ahead of schedule. This time, the Sun Moon Empire has invited many forces, and it is not limited to academies."

Meiyou suddenly spoke to Gu Qiu'er, who was leaning on her shoulder. Gu Qiu'er closed her eyes, waved her hand, and said:
"Let them hold it, what does it have to do with us?"

"Is the grand ceremony of the Sun and Moon Empire related to me writing three sets of exam papers in one day?"

"Could it be another study tour? The Sun Moon Empire is too far away!"

Ilya tilted her head, her long silver hair falling down, and looked at Gu Qiu'er with puzzled eyes, saying:
"Qiu'er? Didn't you see the news? Our Xilu City Research Institute was also invited this year."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we will send both our regular team and reserve team to Mingdu to participate in the competition this year."

"And guess why there have been so many practical classes lately? It's because the instructors want everyone to have more practical skills to prepare for the upcoming competitions."

Gu Qiu'er's golden eyes widened, and her entire golden chinchilla perked up instantly, exclaiming energetically, "Really?!"

"Have those old fogies at the academy finally agreed to let us participate in the competition?"

"Great! Who else but me can be the captain of the main team!"

"I've wanted to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament for a long time, but I thought I'd never have the chance again. I didn't expect to be so pleasantly surprised."

"Ilya, Miyu! The three of us will compete together. Ilya will provide support and long-range firepower, Miyu will provide tactics, and I'll be responsible for cutting through the enemy from the front!"

"With the three of us working together, how could we possibly defeat a single general?"

"I'm not bragging, but when it comes to close combat ability, I'm confident that I will never lose to Medemos."

Gu Qiu'er raised her head and confidently patted her chest.

This is no exaggeration. Under the school's tutelage over the past three years, her cultivation has improved rapidly, and she is now a level 51 Battle Soul King.

Theoretically, the cultivation speed of an ultimate Soul Master is very slow, but this rule clearly does not apply to Emperor Beasts.

The primary attribute of the Emperor Beast is spirit. If there is an ultimate level of spirit, only Huo Yuhao and Gu Qiu'er can be considered to have reached that level.

The terrifying mental power was enough to forcefully suppress the flow of ultimate soul power, completely ignoring the so-called side effects.

Gu Qiu'er possesses ultimate light and fire, ultimate power, and an ultimate spirit. She also wields a golden dragon spear, the kind of weapon that those struggling soul masters in the magic network wouldn't even dare to dream of.

The Starry Sky Forest also provides her with abundant resources. She eats the brains of the Twin Cyclopes every day, which is even more outrageous than ordinary rare and precious materials.

Thanks to Gu Qiu'er, Ilya and Miyu often went to her house to play. Di Tian would occasionally give them some pointers, and from time to time, Red King and Bear King would also spar with them.

Every summer vacation, I would also go on vacation with Gu Qiu'er to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. Although it is not one of the three great treasure troves, it is not much different.

Their current cultivation levels are level 47 and 48 respectively.

Ilya and Miyu's martial souls are Magic Ruby and Magic Sapphire, respectively.

Both of them have a hidden second spirit – the Holy Grail, similar to Bai E's Destruction Flame. It cannot be attached with spirit rings, and they themselves are unaware that they have this spirit. However, Shirou Emiya and Kiritsugu Emiya do know about it.

The Holy Grail's power is miracles, essentially an extension of the rule of "fantasy," a power to fulfill wishes.

Miyu was not originally related to Shirou Emiya by blood; she believed herself to be his family, which led to the "miracle."

Miyu and Illya exchanged a glance, and Illya smiled and said, "Yes, we believe in Akiko."

"But will Uncle Di Tian let you participate? Won't his identity as an Imperial Beast be discovered?"

Gu Qiu'er's smile froze, then she pouted and said:

"Of course he'll agree! If he doesn't, I'll climb on the roof and go to the Lord Sister for help!"

"As for being exposed? That's impossible! The disguise of the power of destiny and the power of luck cannot be seen through by mortals."

As long as I sincerely hide, even the Emperor Tian would never be able to discover my location!

Seeing Qiu'er's confident expression, her two companions felt relieved. Although the relationship between humans and soul beasts was good now, they still couldn't let their guard down.

A quote was once taught to students in the ethics class at the West City Research Institute: "Never harbor malice toward others, and always be wary of the malice of others."

However, considering that the team leader is most likely Sister Gu Yuena, nothing should go wrong. Sister Gu Yuena is a true god-level powerhouse.

Moreover, although Uncle Ditian said he disliked Gu Qiu'er, he actually cared about her a lot. He once secretly gave Meiyu and Ilya a piece of Life Gold the size of a fingernail and helped them integrate it into their spiritual sea, just so that they would take good care of Qiu'er.

Although a piece of living gold the size of a fingernail is small, the entire life force of the million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is equivalent to a piece of living gold the size of a teardrop.

A piece of living gold the size of a fingernail is too small to cause the opposite effect and plunder life force. With living gold, it's really hard to die even if you want to.
