Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 360 Address (Daily Mail)

Two days later.

Star Luo City, the capital and largest city of the Star Luo Empire, has been experiencing urban congestion for several days in a row.

Wealthy people and busybodies from all over the mainland flocked to the capital, along with a large number of local citizens, almost filling the entire city.

The two semi-final matches of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament have concluded.

From the moment the semi-finals ended, queues began to form outside Xingluo Square.

Some people even brought their entire families, setting up tents on the spot and enduring wind and rain for two whole days, all in order to witness the grand spectacle of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

It's important to know that this match is the ultimate showdown between Shrek Academy and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, with team battles, individual battles, and 2-2-3 matches all taking place on the same day.

Such a magnificent event is worth the extra effort.

Otherwise, if we want to see it again, we'll have to wait twenty years. How many twenty-year periods does a person have in their lifetime?

Spending more than a year's savings and bringing the whole family to Xingluo City to fulfill their own and their child's dream of becoming a Soul Master is already the limit for most middle-class families. Anything more expensive would be too high.

In order to maintain order in the capital, the Star Luo Empire urgently dispatched 10,000 elite troops into the city to maintain order, and all shops in the city extended their business hours.

In order to supply the sudden surge in the number of migrants, Xingluo urgently allocated various resources from surrounding major cities, just to avoid making a fool of itself.

If a game causes problems for the city's residents, making it difficult for them to eat and drink, that would be a crisis.

The weather is so-so today.

Dark clouds covered the sky, and even a thin mist shrouded Xingluo City.

Occasionally, a light drizzle falls from the sky, bringing a touch of chill to this ancient city with tens of thousands of years of history.

However, no matter how strong the chill was, it could not dampen the enthusiasm of the people from all directions in Xingluo City.

Because the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament are about to begin, and an epic showdown will take place today.

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath. This environment was not bad; at least it was quite beneficial for Ling Luochen's improvement.

Even so, the Shrek Academy students felt an invisible pressure; this year's Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team was terrifyingly strong.

According to Wang Yan, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy defeated the Imperial Academy with an overwhelming advantage.

It's important to know that Di'ao Academy boasts a ratio of one Soul Emperor and six Soul Kings. Without considering strategy and tactics, its overall strength is even greater than that of Xingluo Royal Academy.

If Shrek Academy hadn't taken advantage of the time difference created by Star Luo Royal Academy, eliminating Xu Jiujiu who was holding a trump card, even if Shrek Academy had won, it wouldn't have been so easy.

Even so, Xu Sanshi, who had unleashed the power of Xuanwu, was completely exhausted, and it is highly likely that we will not see him in the finals.

The two teams of contestants walked side by side on the red carpet, each with their own thoughts on different things.

Ling Luochen, the owner of the Elemental Ice Martial Soul, is now marveling at how timely the rain has come.

Ma Xiaotao clearly didn't think so, her face showing a look of gritted teeth. In this environment, her combat power would drop by at least 10%.

Xiao Hongchen looked uneasy, glancing occasionally in the direction of Shrek Academy, then looking around at his surroundings, or at the other members of his team.

Meng Hongchen was more innocent; this little girl was definitely a looks-obsessed person, constantly staring at Wang Dong's profile and swooning.

His eyelashes are so long, so curled, so beautiful. Much longer than mine. His eyes too, a pinkish-blue, have an indescribable allure. He's about twelve, a little over two years younger than me.

Sometimes, Meng Hongchen would glance at Huo Yuhao with unease, staring blankly at his bright golden eyes, worried that Huo Yuhao would pull off some incredible move in today's competition.

On the walls of the imperial city.

"Brother, I'm not convinced. We were clearly the ones who could have won," Princess Jiujiu said coquettishly.

The Star Luo Emperor smiled slightly and said, "What's there to be dissatisfied about? Losing is losing."

Princess Jiujiu said unwillingly, "But, but..."

Huo Yuhao felt a gaze fall on him. He turned his head and saw that Xu Jiawei had already arrived at the city wall with civil and military officials. Beside him was Xu Jiujiu, whose fists were clenched tightly.

Having waited five long years without being able to demonstrate any of her abilities before being forced out of the competition, her gaze towards Huo Yuhao was filled with hostility.

A middle-aged man was standing next to Xu Jiawei.

He was dressed in golden armor, with regular features and a handsome face, and his signature deep blue eyes had double pupils that shone brightly.

His face looked slightly thin, but he had a metallic strength about him, standing like a javelin and exuding an aura of iron and blood.

Huo Yuhao's movements froze for a moment.

This wasn't the first time Huo Yuhao had seen Dai Hao. Before chasing the God Messenger in the Mingdou Mountains, Huo Yuhao and Dai Hao had been separated by only a wall at their closest point, and the other party had been listening intently while Huo Yuhao was giving a meeting to assign combat missions.

However, this was the first time Huo Yuhao and Dai Hao had made eye contact since Huo Yuhao left the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

Dai Hao looked at Huo Yuhao with curiosity and admiration in his eyes, but Huo Yuhao just glanced at him expressionlessly.

To give birth and not raise a child is to be unworthy of being human; to raise a child and not teach him is to be unworthy of being a father. Dai Hao embodies both of these qualities.

"The last time I witnessed the final of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament in Star Luo City was twenty years ago. At that time, both I and my brother Dai Hao were just young men."

"Time has passed, and twenty years later, I am now the ruler of a nation, and my virtuous brother Dai Hao has become the first commander of the empire. We will once again witness a duel between the strongest young people on the continent."

"I am very excited. I hope both teams can deliver a wonderful match for every spectator. As is customary, the winner of this final will receive three soul bones and one million gold soul coins as a reward."

"I have already selected ten soul bones from our national treasure trove for the final champion to choose from. I originally intended to have Brother Dai Hao preside over today's match, but unfortunately, one of Shrek Academy's main combat players is his eldest son. To avoid any appearance of impropriety, the referee for this match will still be the Heavenly Fiend Douluo."

"Without further ado, please join me in witnessing this duel that will surely be recorded in history."

As soon as the Star Luo Emperor finished speaking, a beam of light flashed across the city wall and appeared in the center of the arena. It was none other than Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo.
