Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 16 Departure, Star Luo City!

The following day, in front of the first teaching building directly opposite the main gate of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, there were two teams of seven people on either side of Jing Hongchen. Below them, a densely packed group of students sat upright.

This is a send-off ceremony held for the students representing the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to compete in this year's Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

On the left are the official team members for this competition: Captain: Ma Rulong, Team members: Lin Xi, Xiao Xiafeng, Mi Jia, Chen Fei, Li Yan, and Chen An.

On the right are the reserve team members for this competition: Captain: Xiao Hongchen, Team members: Meng Hongchen, Pu Xin, Peng Qing, An Shao, Mu Yingzhe, and Huo Yuhao.

All fourteen are elite students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, representing the glory of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to fight on the field!

Jing Hongchen raised her hand to signal the students below to be quiet:

"Students, the once-every-five-years All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament will officially begin in Star Luo City in January. These fourteen outstanding students beside me are absolute elites, selected from among countless others!"

They will represent our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the competition, fighting for the academy's honor. Let's give them a round of applause!

After Jing Hongchen finished speaking, he led the applause for the fourteen students. A round of applause followed! After the applause subsided, Jing Hongchen continued speaking:

"The Soul Battle Tournament is a tradition of the original Douluo Continent's Three Kingdoms. Since our Sun Moon Empire and the Three Kingdoms of Douluo came to border each other, we have also followed this tradition and participated in this grand event on the continent. But it is regrettable that we have never won the championship!"

Shrek! This name that has always weighed heavily on us is the biggest obstacle to our Sun Moon Empire's victory!

For thousands of years, my Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has never defeated them even once.

Shrek Academy's ability to firmly hold the title of the number one academy on the continent must be due to its exceptional qualities.

We cannot deny Shrek Academy's strength, but our Sun Moon Empire will never lose faith because of it!

Today, the fourteen students behind me will once again represent the strongest force of my Sun Moon Empire to challenge Shrek Academy.

Tell me, do you have the confidence to defeat Shrek?

As Jing Hongchen finished speaking, he turned to look at Huo Yuhao and the other fourteen students.

"Yes!" the fourteen trainees shouted in unison.

After he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from below.

Defeating Shrek Academy is the dream of every generation of its participants. That symbol of strength is also their goal in their struggles at the academy!

Thousands of years of failure have entangled them too deeply in their obsession with defeating Shrek Academy. It's an inescapable fate for every generation of outstanding members of the Sun Moon Empire! And it carries the hopes of countless ordinary citizens of the Sun Moon Empire!

After the rally, everyone left, and each team member carried an invisible burden on their shoulders.

Similar to them, Shrek Academy's expedition was not as easy as imagined.

Their team members were placed on a great deal of hope. Apart from the Sun Moon Empire, everyone from the original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms hoped that the legend could continue through them.

Upholding Shrek's honor is more important than life itself to its students! They will spare no effort to continue the miracle that millions of people are hoping for.

……

Three days later, on the morning of the next day, all fourteen team members arrived at the college gate, waiting to set off.

Not long after, two elderly men arrived at the gate. They were the teachers leading the group.

"Let's go." One of the elders, seeing that everyone had arrived, took out a huge flying soul tool and spoke casually.

The aircraft was very large, easily accommodating 16 people. Driven by soul power, the soul tool quickly rose into the sky and began to fly.

Judging from the size and speed of the aircraft, this soul tool is definitely no lower than level eight!

Even Huo Yuhao, a great soul master, felt no discomfort whatsoever in such rapid airflow without using his soul power! This demonstrates the leading position of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in the research and development of soul tools.

The flight would take about half a month to reach Star Luo City. Since he didn't need to use his soul power to resist the air currents, Huo Yuhao decided to start cultivating. More than a month had passed since Huo Yuhao obtained his second soul ring.

After absorbing the three-thousand-year-old ice silkworm, combined with his previous accumulation, his soul power broke through to level twenty-two. After about a month of refinement, Huo Yuhao's soul power is now faintly moving towards level twenty-three.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Huo Yuhao's soul power should break through to level 23 before the competition begins.

Although this level of skill is nothing in a competition full of experts, for Huo Yuhao, every little bit of improvement is good.

He is only twelve years old this year. The grand tournament held in the Sun Moon Empire five years from now will be his main stage. His main role in this tournament will be support.

Before he left, Xuan Ziwen told him not to use his second spirit. Even if Huo Yuhao, a Great Soul Master, used his second spirit, it wouldn't make much of a difference in the overall situation. It would be better to keep it hidden and use it as a surprise weapon in the next competition.

Given the talents of Huo Yuhao and the Hongchen siblings, it's really hard to predict the outcome of the next competition!

……

After more than half a month of travel, the group from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy finally arrived at the magnificent Star Luo City.

Star City.

The capital of the Star Luo Empire is undoubtedly the largest city in the empire, serving as its political, cultural, and economic center. It is known as the "Imperial Capital That Will Never Fall."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Xingluo City was indeed difficult to conquer from the outside, but it still changed its royal family once.

It is lamentable that even the strongest fortresses are often breached from within.

Xingluo City has extremely thick city walls, making it a completely different city from Mingdu. However, they share the same prosperity.

Perhaps due to the Soul Master Competition, the noise in Star Luo City was more bustling than ever before. The group from the Sun Moon Empire, flying in the sky, were awestruck by the roar of the crowd.

Flying is not allowed in Star Luo City, so everyone had to put away their flying vehicles and walk into the city.

"This number is terrifying! The competition doesn't start for another two weeks!" Meng Hongchen was shocked by the crowd queuing to enter the city. It stretched from the city gate for an unknown distance. They couldn't even see the end of the queue from the sky.

"This is a grand event held once every five years in the Douluo Continent, so of course there are many people coming to watch. We need to book a hotel in the city first, otherwise it will be too late to come after the competition starts," said one of the teachers leading the team. He had participated in a Soul Fighting Tournament when he was young, so he was no longer surprised by this kind of scene.

"Do we have to queue to enter the city? How long will the queue take?" Lin Xi, one of the official team members, asked.

"No need. As a participating team, we don't need to queue with them. There's a competition channel, so we can go directly into the city," another teacher in charge of the team said.

"Let's go into the city first and then talk about it," the teacher in charge continued.

"Okay," everyone responded.
