Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 838 Nan Qiuqiu and Nan Shuishui (6K)

Can a country that operates with its decrees being followed and its subordinates following suit, and one that governs the country by having its decrees issued outside the capital and relies on doing nothing most of the time to govern the country, possibly have the same war potential?

"Never mind, let's go see the people from the Earth Dragon Gate first."

Although Huo Yuhao was surprised that the kidnapped sect disciples and academy students could actually influence the national will of the three great empires, now was clearly not the time to take any action against them. Huo Yuhao simply made a note of these people in his notebook.

Just like Dai Hao, this group of people can still be used to fight against the Sun Moon Empire. Even if they are used and then discarded, we have to wait until they finish grinding the flour first, right?

Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish. Huo Yuhao has never had any experience in governing a country, and even his experience in managing personnel has been gradually accumulated over the years.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao now observes, listens, and thinks more, putting knowledge into practice, so as not to fall into a situation where he is blinded by a single leaf in the future.

Before long, the two arrived at the entrance of the Earth Dragon Gate's residence and were led into the reception room by the disciples inside.

The Earth Dragon Gate occupies a considerable area, but when Huo Yuhao scanned it with his spiritual power, he found that there were only thirty or forty people left in the entire sect, and their cultivation levels generally did not exceed level thirty.

Huo Yuhao's mental detection also enabled sharing, so Ma Xiaotao was quite surprised to see this.

Where have all the people from the Earth Dragon Gate gone?

Huo Yuhao sat in the chair in the reception room, his expression calm: "Now that the person has been rescued, the matter of the Empire summoning the Soul Masters of the sects to fight will naturally be smooth. If the three great empires want to fight against the Soul Master Corps of the Sun Moon Empire, they naturally need to have their own Soul Master Corps."

"Now, several more months have passed, and the Soul Hall has produced several more batches of low-level soul tools. Although the level is not very impressive, it is not difficult to use them to arm several fragile soul master regiments."

"Even if it's two against one, or even three against one, the number of Soul Masters in the Three Empires will ultimately be greater than that of the Sun Moon Empire."

Huo Yuhao didn't explain in too much detail, but Ma Xiaotao basically understood.

With the return of outstanding talents from various Soul Master factions, the Empire finally had a legitimate reason to prepare for the war against Sun Moon. These factions that had previously hesitated to act naturally had to contribute their efforts.

Most Soul Masters, like those of the Body Sect, would fight for their country and family. A small number of Soul Masters, having no reason to fight, would have no choice but to obediently follow along, even if they didn't want to.

To put it bluntly, these sect soul masters enjoy a life of luxury in the local area and should therefore bear greater responsibilities. They can't have been local bullies for so many years, and then think of deserting when war breaks out.

Ordinary people can escape, but Soul Masters cannot. Ordinary people can change emperors and continue living their lives, but Soul Masters cannot.

The two had only been discussing for a short while when a beautiful woman hurried over with a woman who looked about six or seven parts like her.

"Greetings, two distinguished guests from Shrek Academy."

The beautiful woman glanced quickly at Huo Yuhao and Ma Xiaotao beside him, then curtsied. The woman beside her was somewhat surprised and subconsciously pointed to Ma Xiaotao's location.

"You you you"

The woman had long, pink hair that reached past her shoulders and was slightly wavy. Her pink eyes had a somewhat peculiar look, and her form-fitting cheongsam perfectly showcased her beautiful figure.

"Qiuqiu, don't be rude."

The beautiful woman whispered a warning before looking in the direction Nan Qiuqiu pointed. But after just one glance, she couldn't help but be startled.

"Why are you two so nervous?"

Ma Xiaotao chuckled as she looked at the two nervous people.

Nan Qiuqiu and Nan Shuishui also realized what was happening. When they were imprisoned in the water dungeon, the Shrek Academy people had said that they had a way to get rid of the Soul-Destroying Powder on them. It seemed that this was related to the Holy Maiden.

No wonder this Holy Spirit Church saint had already left before the operation began.

Many elders in the water dungeon said that this saintess's combat power probably cannot even be regarded as that of an ordinary Soul Douluo.

If the other side really is stationed in the water dungeon, they will at least leave half of them alive, if not all of them are wiped out.

Thankfully, it seems the other party is actually one of our own. That was terrifying.

"I never imagined that you two distinguished guests were the benefactors who rescued me in Sunrise City. Please accept my bow."

As she spoke, Nan Shuishui was about to bow down to the two of them, but fortunately Huo Yuhao quickly stopped her.

"Why must you do this, senior?"

After this little incident, the atmosphere between the two sides became noticeably more enthusiastic. During this time, Nan Qiuqiu even suggested that she wanted to spar with Huo Yuhao to experience the strength of the champion of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition.

Huo Yuhao readily agreed, as he was also very curious about the Rouge Dragon Martial Soul of the Earth Dragon Gate.

Although the opponent's martial soul is called Rouge Dragon, don't mistake its dragon breath for rouge. What it spews out is a genuine annihilation dragon breath.

In the inner court curriculum of Shrek Academy, there is a special class dedicated to explaining various unique martial soul abilities to the inner court disciples. Among them, this annihilation ability was mentioned.

The Annihilation ability is extremely powerful; upon hitting an opponent, it disintegrates the opponent's attributes and abilities, thus achieving a destructive effect.

This ability has two particularly alarming characteristics. One is that it is not countered by any attribute, and the other is that after hitting an opponent, it causes the opponent to expend significantly more soul power in defense than normal.

The fight between the two ended very quickly. Huo Yuhao, who possessed a soul core, was simply not someone his age who could fight against him. Nan Qiuqiu's annihilation attribute was indeed very troublesome, but the power of the soul master himself also had to be taken into account.

Huo Yuhao didn't even need to do anything else; he simply increased the amount of soul power released and sent it in front of Nan Qiuqiu to annihilate her. The Annihilation Hand, which was originally invincible against opponents of the same level, was thwarted.

A thousand-mile dike can be breached by an ant hole, but that takes a long time. In the current situation, the ants are about to die from overeating, and the dike has only just broken through a thin layer, which is not good.

"no."

Huo Yuhao subconsciously shook his head and gave his evaluation, which made Nan Qiuqiu feel bitter upon hearing it.

Doesn't she know she's incapable? She's dealing with a sect that got defeated by the Tang Sect in the second round of the knockout stage. Does she need to make such a blunt assessment of them?

"Uh, I didn't mean you can't do it."

Huo Yuhao hurriedly explained to Nan Qiuqiu, "Heaven and earth bear witness, how could I, Huo Yuhao, do something so lacking in emotional intelligence?"

However, Nan Qiuqiu's Dao heart had clearly broken down, and she ran away in a flash, refusing to listen to Huo Yuhao's explanation at all.
