Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 517 Weapon Master Ji Juechen (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but look at Xue Di and Bing Di. If the two spirit rings were fused into one spirit ring, a million-year spirit ring would probably be born directly.

But is this really possible?

"Perhaps we can pause for a while. Since there are records of ring fusion technology in Douluo Continent, we might as well study it. Even if we fail in the end, it will only mean that Yuhao will reabsorb your soul ring."

A glint of interest flashed in Electrox's eyes.

"In that case, I have no objection. My source power is still very stable and can be maintained in this state for a long time."

Xue Di nodded. She was also very curious about how two spirit rings could be fused into one. Although she and Bing'er had never reached the threshold of a million-year spirit beast, wouldn't it be a roundabout way to achieve their goal if the spirit ring became a million-year level?

Hyotei said with some regret, "Since Yuki'er has no objection, I have no objection either. It's just a pity that Yuki'er and I can't 'mmm' until later."

Hyotei was silenced by Yuki-tei again.

"Alright, in that case, thank you all for your hard work."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. It seemed that he would not be able to absorb the Snow Empress's soul ring in a short time. However, the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Bed had already brought him a great improvement. What he needed most now was to digest what he had gained.

When Huo Yuhao returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Lin Jiayi, the headmaster who had been somewhat impatient due to Huo Yuhao's long absence, immediately relaxed and reported to Jing Hongchen.

It's true that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy hopes Shrek Academy's exchange students won't be at school during the holidays, but if you disappear from the start of the holidays and haven't returned by the time school starts, that's a different story.

Anyone would feel somewhat uneasy about that.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone else, including He Caitou and Qian Duoduo, were still there, Lin Jiayi would have almost thought that Shrek Academy was planning something big and was preparing to run away early.

Lin Jiayi had been scaring herself for days, while Jing Hongchen was much calmer.

It's not that he's not worried, it's just that he doesn't have time to worry.

The affairs of the imperial court had already overwhelmed him, and now, the matter of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy could only be considered as something far removed from the martial world.

The power struggles in the imperial court, the machinations of the Holy Spirit Cult, and the old emperor's declining health all made Jing Hongchen unable to sleep soundly.

It can be said that Jing Hongchen is the only one among the princelings who hopes the old emperor can hold on for a few more days.

Let us drink from the golden cup together, for the blades of the sword will not spare us.

All the princelings were waiting to gain merit by following the emperor's rise to power, but only Jing Hongchen knew that the mess the prince had covered up for him would be settled sooner or later.

Now, the longer the old emperor lives, the safer Jing Hongchen will be. For this reason, he has mobilized his forces to seek out medicinal diet recipes for health preservation from the other three great empires.

When facing Crown Prince Xu Tianran, Jing Hongchen explained that the medicinal diet was highly nourishing, and the emperor was too weak to tolerate such tonics. He claimed that the old man would die from the tonics in a few years, and that he would bear the risks alone to repay the Crown Prince's kindness.

Jing Hongchen was genuinely concerned for the old emperor, hoping he would recover quickly and take good care of his health. She also offered various medicinal diet suggestions to prevent the princes and the medicinal diets she herself had sent from actually killing the old man.

The purge of this thing is terrifying. Jing Hongchen is even considering whether he should just have his two grandchildren directly blacklisted at Shrek Academy.

Many things seem insignificant on the scale, but once weighed, they can feel incredibly heavy.

It has only been half a year since the attack on Mingde Hall, and Jing Hongchen has obviously aged a lot. Whether it is the Crown Prince or the old emperor, they all sigh when they see Jing Hongchen.

"My dear minister, you have been working tirelessly for me, and your figure has become increasingly thin. You have truly worked hard and are worthy of being my trusted advisor."

He had to conduct research, guard against slander from political enemies, worry about whether anyone would harm Crown Prince Xu Tianran, and also fear the sudden death of the old emperor. One can imagine how much psychological pressure he was under every day.

Furthermore, after fully joining the Crown Prince's side, she learned a great deal about the Holy Spirit Cult's secrets, which made Jing Hongchen feel even more exhausted.

Therefore, Jing Hongchen's only thought for these exchange students from Shrek Academy is that they complete their exchange program safely and without causing any trouble.

He no longer wanted to resort to any tricks at this point, and even He Caitou, who was making the fastest progress on the surface, was already feeling somewhat powerless.

Go ahead and learn, learn whatever you want. If you can't get it right, so be it. If you can't get it right, it'll only cause problems decades from now. Whether this old man will even live that long is another question.

He was in a dilemma. He didn't want the old emperor to die, but he also wanted the old emperor to die quickly so that he could go to Xu Tianran to claim credit. However, if the old emperor kicked the bucket and the other two heirs became emperors of the Sun Moon Empire, Jing Hongchen dared not think about his own fate.

Not only that, but they also had to guard against the possibility that the prince, once he was caught, would be discarded like a hunting dog.

"Damn Holy Spirit Cult, damn the Body Sect, you all deserve to die!!!"

Jing Hongchen finally lost control of her emotions and flew into a rage in her office, smashing everything she could find.

Compared to Jing Hongchen's anxiety and constant setbacks, Huo Yuhao, who had just returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, began a monotonous yet fulfilling life.

He cultivated, studied, copied plans, and incidentally read the interesting stories about Shrek Academy in the letter Wang Dong sent him.

During this period, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan came to see Huo Yuhao several times. Huo Yuhao's combat power surged once again after absorbing the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Bed. Combined with the greatly increased concentration of Asura Killing Intent, he was already able to fight both Jing Ziyan and Ji Juechen by himself.

These two are no ordinary people either. They always manage to create some small surprises for Huo Yuhao. In particular, Jing Ziyan, after hearing at a dinner party that Huo Yuhao had once used poison smoke and stun grenades to kill more than a dozen assassins, used all of these things on Huo Yuhao on the third day.

It was a bombshell! Huo Yuhao couldn't recover from the shock all day. The first thing he did the next morning was to trick Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan into signing the contract and then throw them into the undead demiplane.

Go fight those abominations and undead knights, and don't come here to harm me!

The two of them seemed to be enjoying themselves, especially Ji Juechen, who was showing signs of becoming a weapon master. He would use whichever undead knight's weapon he could get his hands on, having a great time with the giant club, the scythe, the knight's sword, and the knight's lance.

It's a shame that the undead knight, who was first challenged by Ji Juechen, only had a watermelon knife to use.
