Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 624 Eating the Destitute (Daily 10,000 words)

"Looks like someone's planning to harm our guests?"

Nana lightly touched the ground and appeared beside Ji Juechen in an instant, with six spirit rings of the same optimal ratio falling down.

Jing Ziyan chuckled. She had just returned to Sun Moon and there was already a fight. Although it was a match where she was crushing noobs, it was still pretty good.

A Soul Saint who hadn't yet acquired his seventh Soul Ring, two Soul Emperors, and a dragon at least 20,000 years old pulling a cart.

The middle-aged man who had spoken earlier now regretted it.

I shouldn't have been so stubborn and argued with that stupid young master just to save face.

Why release your martial spirit for no reason?

You should have admitted defeat sooner!

"Everyone, let's talk this out. That's not what we meant."

Another middle-aged man was equally nervous. Back in the sect, they had said that if you threw a brick down in Mingdu, you could knock down several nobles and people from powerful forces. They were not people that a small place like theirs could afford to offend.

As it turns out, their own young sect leader was still a small-time operator controlling the big-time ones, and as soon as they arrived, they got into trouble with a force that they clearly couldn't afford to offend.

"That's not what I meant?"

Nana smiled, but her smile sent chills down one's spine: "So, are you here for the Shrek VIPs we're hosting, or for us?"

"We. We"

As the middle-aged man spoke, his expression hardened. He looked at his young sect leader, a resolute look on his face, and slapped his sect leader, who was only at the fourth ring, to the ground, then began to beat him severely.

"Uncle Ping, wrong number, wrong number! Uncle Hai, Uncle Ping has gone mad!"

The fat man immediately cried out in pain and was beaten so badly that he ran around on the ground. The middle-aged man, who was called Uncle Hai and was already extremely hesitant, made up his mind immediately when he saw that the other party had slapped his young sect leader down.

Go to hell! At worst, I'll quit your sect and beat you up first, you idiot! How many times have we cleaned up your messes? You dare to mess with such a big shot in Mingdu? You want to die, but we don't!

While thinking this, the man called Uncle Hai suddenly stomped on it and kicked the other man's buttocks repeatedly.

It's clear that the opponent was holding back, not letting him kick the head at any height.

They have no choice but to fight. Shrek Academy, those are Shrek Academy people. Don't be fooled by the fact that Shrek Academy is a million miles away. If it really comes down to it, there are plenty of people who would risk their lives to win Shrek's favor.

And this is the true world of Soul Masters, stripped of the veil of academies.

Even in the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy was still an indescribably powerful force to the members of a small sect like theirs.

The old sect leader was just a Soul Saint; who knows when he might die.

If it weren't for the fact that the two brothers were still hoping to divide up Chongtianmen's resources after the old sect leader passed away, how could they, two great masters who were already Soul Emperors in their forties and fifties, possibly stay in a small place like Chongtianmen?

As for the young sect leader who only has four rings?

Tsk, once the old sect leader breathes his last, this fat pig will be stripped of his equipment and sold to places with special fetishes, making a quick buck as they can.

After a brutal beating, the once-fat Feng Ling was completely bruised and battered. The people from Chongtianmen had no intention of continuing the competition and quickly took the fat man back with them.

This is why the number of participating teams, which had jumped to 168, quietly returned to 167, as if nothing had changed.

After this little incident, the Shrek team lost interest in resting any longer, boarded the dragon carriage, and headed towards Mingdu.

Among the many people, Huo Yuhao, He Caitou, and others had all stayed in Mingdu before and were familiar with the place.

The rest of the group looked out through the glass portholes on the earth dragon mountain, their eyes revealing obvious shock.

This city, which doesn't even have city walls, is the number one city on the continent.

Especially after they saw those towering buildings, their sense of awe intensified, and their expressions unconsciously became serious.

As people from the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, they felt immense pressure upon arriving in Mingdu.

The Tang Clan members had at least heard He Caitou and Huo Yuhao talk about the infrastructure of Mingdu, so they were somewhat prepared. But for the Shrek Academy team, it was like a maiden getting married for the first time.

The strength of the Sun and Moon Empire naturally exerted an invisible pressure on them.

According to the registration information, upon entering Mingdu, their first task was to complete the registration process. Although the previous registration had already been completed, registration was necessary to confirm the arrival of the participating sect teams. Afterward, the Sun Moon Empire would arrange accommodations and the competition schedule.

Having participated in the previous competition, the Shrek team felt this time particularly strongly. Compared to the overcrowded Star Luo City of the Star Luo Empire back then, Mingdu seemed very orderly.

Although the number of people on the streets had increased significantly, there was absolutely no feeling of crowding. This is one of the advantages of a large enough city. Soldiers in armor patrolled the streets regularly. Each squad consisted of twelve men, and their discipline was impeccable during their patrols.

Putting aside the issue of historical significance, from a purely practical point of view, it must be said that city walls are a major constraint on urban modernization.

However, even if the people of the other three great empires understood this, which one would really dare to give up the city walls? Furthermore, take the Star Luo Empire as an example; its walls, hundreds of meters high and hundreds of meters wide, stretching for countless kilometers, took thousands of years to build.

If you want to dismantle it, who knows how many gold soul coins it will cost!

Although Xu Jiawei and Xu Jiujiu also harbored some dissatisfaction with city walls, believing that they hindered the expansion of the city, they could only think about building inner and outer cities at most.

However, managing both the inner and outer cities is not easy. For one thing, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion and the Netherworld Duke's Mansion are not far outside the city. If you develop the inner and outer cities, will you be able to seize the land of these two families?

When a system becomes completely rigid, many good changes are not so easy to implement. On the contrary, bottom-up changes are much easier to overcome these obstacles.

You say this is the territory of the White Tiger Duke and the Underworld Duke?

What does this have to do with me? The Star Luo Empire has already fallen, what are two ducal mansions compared to that? Tear them down!

On the streets, squads of soldiers clad in full alloy plate armor patrolled from time to time, their movements synchronized and their order impeccable.

Nana had grown up in this city and was quite familiar with everything here. She quickly led everyone to the registration area.

This is a large hotel with eight floors, located in the center of Mingdu. Its name is: Mingyue Hotel.

From afar, you can see its entirely silver-white building. Because each floor is very tall, even though it only has eight floors, it is considered an extremely tall building in Mingdu.

Upon entering the hotel lobby, one is immediately struck by its metallic feel. The interior decoration is entirely the same as the exterior, presented in silver-white, with various streamlined designs, resembling exquisitely crafted soul tools, making one irresistibly inclined to touch them.

Simplicity, grandeur, and quality – that's the first impression Mingyue Hotel gives.

Not only Huo Yuhao, but the other members of Shrek Academy were also moved to tears when they saw this hotel with its strong sense of advanced technology.

They've long been fed up with the nouveau riche style of decorating their homes since the Three Kingdoms period!
