Douluo Continent: The Peerless Hunting Heavenly Lord, Huo Yuhao!

In the past, Huo Yuhao publicly confronted Xuanzi, stating that Shrek Academy's original intention was to educate and nurture people according to the right path.

However, in today's public opinion storm, this sentence has become a sharp blade piercing Shrek himself.

How can teachers educate students if they themselves are not upright?

How can a teacher who harbors filth and corruption be considered upright?

The suspicion, disdain, and cold stares from everyone present had already shattered the confidence of the Shrek team.

Seeing the team's gloomy and depressed state, Huo Yuhao spoke calmly, his voice gentle yet reassuring: "Rest well, get back in shape, and focus on tomorrow's match."

At this moment, further words are useless, and all explanations are pale and powerless. Only the outcome of the competition can provide the strongest confidence.

The Shrek Academy members silently nodded, closed their eyes to regulate their breathing, and forcibly suppressed the grievances and resentment in their hearts. They had to get out of the shadow of the rumors as soon as possible. The semi-finals were surrounded by strong opponents, especially the Star Luo Royal Academy, whose combat power was formidable. Once their mentality collapsed, they would be defeated without a fight.

……

A night passes in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, the atmosphere in the cafeteria remained oppressive. Most of the Shrek students were silent, their brows furrowed with an unyielding gloom.

Little Huo Yan'er, however, remained oblivious to the turmoil of the world. She sat obediently in her high chair, her silver-white hair flowing smoothly over her shoulders, her tuft of hair sticking up lazily, and her clear, blue-purple heterochromatic eyes unaffected by any external hostility. She ate her breakfast obediently.

Huo Yuhao was speechless as he watched this scene.

The atmosphere in the team was heavy. Gu Yue, Ma Xiaotao and their relatives and teachers were all stigmatized and criticized, and everyone was in a state of unease.

This little dumpling, however, was incredibly carefree, eating and drinking as usual, completely unaffected by the outside turmoil.

It was as if all the conflicts and malice in the world had nothing to do with her.

Huo Yan'er keenly caught Huo Yuhao's gaze, blinked her innocent big eyes, and with a push of her little hand, steadily pushed the warm milk in front of him, saying in a soft, sweet voice, "Daddy, you drink..."

Huo Yuhao chuckled and shook his head, softly refusing, "No need, Yan'er can drink it herself."

He was just confused for a moment.

Huo Yan'er was less than a month old, her mind was pure and innocent, she was unaware of the wickedness of people's hearts and the power struggles of public opinion, and she did not need to bear the stigma and shackles of these adults.

It's absurd to expect her to comfort a group of adults caught in turmoil and feeling depressed.

After a brief moment of warmth, the semi-final elimination rounds officially began.

The four teams that ultimately advanced to the semifinals of this competition are all top-tier young talents from across the continent: Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy, Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Star Luo Royal Academy, and Di'ao Academy.

With the four finalists gathered and their skills clashing, the atmosphere of competition in the arena instantly intensified several times over.

The Sun and Moon Team is considered one of Shrek Academy's biggest rivals.

After a long silence, Huo Yuhao, captain of the Star Luo Royal Academy, looked at her beautiful and familiar features. He felt a faint sense of déjà vu, but couldn't quite place the connection.

The last to appear was Vina, the captain of the Imperial Academy. She was slender and graceful, with a gentle and composed demeanor. She was Huo Yuhao's senior sister, with whom he had previously crossed paths.

With the four teams in position, Vina's gaze settled on Huo Yuhao, her eyes smiling, and she spoke softly, "Junior brother, it's been a long time."

"Senior Sister is too kind." Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, his attitude calm and polite, neither humble nor arrogant. "On the field, everyone relies on their own abilities. I hope Senior Sister will not hesitate to give me some pointers."

His straightforward and candid attitude on the field showed no trace of personal warmth.

Vina couldn't help but smile and tease, "You're so straightforward, you don't understand gentleness at all. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to find a girlfriend in the future?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head, his tone calm and resolute: "No need."

He has a bright future ahead of him and his loved ones by his side; he never needs to deliberately cater to others.

A hint of appreciation for talent flashed in Vina's eyes, and she took the opportunity to extend an invitation: "Right now, Shrek Academy is embroiled in a media storm, facing heavy criticism from the outside world, and the situation is extremely bad. Would you like to consider transferring to Imperial Academy? I can arrange everything for you."

"I am aware of the current situation," Huo Yuhao replied calmly, his eyes unwavering. "But as long as I am the captain of Shrek Academy, I will stand with the academy. Senior sister, there is no need to hold back; go all out."

After a pause, a sharp smile flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and his tone carried just the right amount of confidence and sharpness: "Otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting Senior Sister experience the taste of failure firsthand."

"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see." Vina's smile deepened, and a fighting spirit quietly ignited in her eyes.

Previously, Huo Yuhao had been wondering why, given Long Aotian's talent and strength, he didn't just join the more established Imperial Academy.

Long Aotian's reason was simple: he never wanted to curry favor with the academy; he only wanted to repay a favor to Ye Wuqing.

Once the favors are settled, there are no more ties.

Perhaps the next time we meet, this exceptionally talented prodigy will truly settle down at Di'ao and establish his own unique position.

In the center of the arena, the host of the draw for the semifinals appeared.

Huang Jinxu, the veteran titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, raised his hand and tossed four small balls into the air, where they spun and flashed rapidly.

The four team captains made their moves simultaneously!

Ma Rulong's eyes were sharp, and he immediately leaped forward to grab it. Vina moved lightly and nimbly.

Huo Yuhao was the most composed. A slight gust of azure energy flashed around him, and before he moved, his momentum arrived. The golden lottery ball landed steadily in his palm in an instant.

He calmly announced the result: "Number one."

Ma Rulong looked down at the number two ball in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Number two."

Vina raised her hand in acknowledgment and confirmed with a slight smile: "I am also number two."

The order of draw was immediately finalized, and the last remaining spot naturally went to Star Luo Royal Academy.

The semi-final matchups are now set: Shrek vs. Star Luo, and Sun Moon vs. Emperor's Ao.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, a clear and elegant female voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

"Huo Yuhao".

After a long while, she slowly stepped forward, her clear and sharp blue eyes fixed on Huo Yuhao, her gaze carrying the scrutiny and inquiry unique to royalty: "Are you a citizen of the Star Luo Empire?"

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded frankly.

His mother, Huo Yun'er, was originally a citizen of the Star Luo Empire. His bloodline and origins were rooted in Star Luo, which is undeniable.

Xu Jiujiu's eyes showed even more doubt, and his tone was somewhat puzzled: "You are exceptionally talented and have extraordinary abilities. As a native genius of Xingluo, why did you not choose to join Xingluo Royal Academy back then, but instead went to Shrek Academy?"

Given the resources, platform, and training efforts of the Star Luo Royal Family, they will definitely devote all their resources to nurturing him.

Of course, if Huo Yuhao hadn't had the identity of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, he could have avoided countless detours by staying in the mainland.

"There's no special reason." Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, his tone calm and clear. "It's just that Shrek Academy suits me better."

Compared to the Star Luo Royal Academy, which is strictly governed and bound to the interests of the royal family, Shrek Academy is the fertile ground that suits him best.

She stared at him intently for a long time, then remained silent for a moment before suddenly uttering a sharp and clear sentence that resonated throughout the surrounding area: "You are the illegitimate son of Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger Clan, aren't you?"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell into absolute silence!

Countless gazes focused on Huo Yuhao, a mixture of shock, curiosity, curiosity, and inquisitiveness.

Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger was a famous general of the Star Luo Empire. He was known for his integrity and was highly respected and influential.

The private family affairs of such a top-level powerful figure, which were originally secrets, were now exposed in public, instantly igniting the curiosity of everyone present.

Everyone was waiting for Huo Yuhao's response, waiting for the answer to the question of this peerless genius's background.

Facing the intense gazes of the entire audience, Huo Yuhao showed no panic or embarrassment, only a faint, cold, and insincere smile.

"I have no father."

In a single sentence, all blood ties were completely severed; every word was cold and resolute.

He raised his eyes, his gaze clear yet sharp, facing everyone's scrutiny with composure: "Whether I am a so-called illegitimate child or not is no longer important."

After a pause, Huo Yuhao continued, "But I am certain that one day, I will personally and completely destroy the White Tiger Duke's Mansion."

This statement caused an uproar throughout the room!

Without admitting their true parentage, they indirectly confirmed it.

More importantly, this statement definitively declared his irreconcilable enmity with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion!

He will make amends for all the humiliations, abandonment, and debts of the past.

From that moment on, Huo Yuhao and the Star Luo White Tiger Duke's Mansion were mortal enemies!

Chapter 103 Battle Star Luo (Part 1)

Xu Jiujiu frowned, his expression solemn, and said to Huo Yuhao in a deep voice: "Punishment of one's father is a universally recognized heinous crime on the continent, which violates the bottom line of morality and is intolerable to all soul masters in the world."

As a princess of the Star Luo royal family, Xu Jiujiu has been trained in royal etiquette and adhered to the moral principles of the continent since childhood. In her mind, blood ties are more important than anything else. No matter how many grudges or entanglements there are, patricide is always an unforgivable taboo crime.

However, Huo Yuhao's face remained unmoved upon hearing this; instead, he appeared calm and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Of course I know."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, readily admitting it, then changed the subject: "His surname is Dai, and mine is Huo. There is no father-son relationship between us."

"Since there is no legal status, no upbringing, no kinship, and no ties, how can it be considered patricide when I settle my scores in the future?"

One sentence left Xu Jiujiu speechless, his pupils dilating slightly, his entire body frozen in place, his mind completely blank.

What an extreme example of flawed, closed-loop logic!

When people in the world judge crimes, they consider reason and morality, but Huo Yuhao directly shattered all moral constraints at the root.

Before he could even process his thoughts, Huo Yuhao shrugged slightly, his tone casual yet slyly sarcastic, and added insult to injury: "According to Your Highness, everyone in this world except me can kill Dai Hao, is that right?"

"If that's the case, then it's very simple."
