Douluo Continent: The Rebirth of Huo Yuhao

Chapter 47 The Exit of All Parties

After the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament ended without a conclusion, Jing Hongchen led the Sun Moon Empire and their entourage to quickly evacuate Star Luo City aboard a level-nine flying soul tool.

After all, this was Xingluo's territory, and Jing Hongchen had publicly threatened the Xingluo Emperor in Xingluo City. As long as they left Xingluo City, trouble would be endless. That's why Jing Hongchen left in such a hurry.

However, the speed of a level nine flying soul tool is like a shooting star chasing the moon. Unless you are a speed-type super Douluo, you will definitely not be able to catch up with Jing Hongchen and his group.

The Star Luo Empire does not have any speed-type Super Douluo, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jing Hongchen and his group should be able to return to Mingdu safely.

Although the Sun and Moon team, which had already left the competition, did not win the championship this time due to an unexpected event, they did not fail.

The performance of the Sun and Moon team is remarkable. Unlike their old rival Shrek, they did not encounter any worthy opponents until the finals, and their results are the best in thousands of years.

The biggest contributor to this was Huo Yuhao. With his abilities, the Sun Moon Team not only easily passed the elimination rounds and the round-robin tournament, hiding a large part of their strength, but also single-handedly held off two Soul Emperors in the final battle.

If it weren't for Elder Xuan's intervention, the Sun and Moon Team might have won the upcoming one-on-one duel and the 2-2-3 formation battle, given that the sixth-level Soul Master Ma Rulong was still in good condition.

However, Jing Hongchen dared not let them continue the competition. He had already been exposed because of Elder Xuan, and there were no more high-level combat forces of the Sun Moon Empire hidden in the dark.

If Xingluo or Shrek were to pull any more tricks, he really couldn't guarantee that he could bring his team back to Mingdu safely.

The ceasefire was a last resort; the safety of these children was the most important thing.

Even disregarding Huo Yuhao and his two grandchildren, the talents of the rest of them are absolutely the most outstanding among this generation of the Sun Moon Empire.

We must not lose them unless absolutely necessary. They will undoubtedly be the pillars of the Sun Moon Empire for generations to come!

Leaving the suspense to the Mingdu Tournament is fine; it's a good opportunity for Huo Yuhao to make a name for himself. It would be a pity if such a genius didn't step on the head of the world's number one academy to rise to the top.

Jing Hongchen felt a surge of satisfaction when he thought about Huo Yuhao leading the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to defeat Shrek Academy in the Mingdu Tournament five years later. Shrek Academy always seems to be scouring for the best talents in the world, but now the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has finally met one!

Thinking this way, Jing Hongchen became even more determined to place a heavy bet on Huo Yuhao. Whether it was his character or his strength, he was absolutely worth it!

Emperor Xingluo and Duke Baihu watched Jing Hongchen's rapidly departing figure, both feeling a deep sense of melancholy, while a tremendous sense of oppression weighed heavily on their hearts.

The development of soul tools in the Sun Moon Empire is too fast!

Having witnessed the power of that level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball, capable of destroying half of Star Luo City, no one could remain unmoved.

They were relieved that they hadn't personally experienced its power today, but they were also extremely worried about the future. How much damage would this soul-guided cannonball cause if it landed on the battlefield?

Moreover, the level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell that Jing Hongchen brought was definitely not the only one in the Sun Moon Empire!

Does Xingluo really have the ability to withstand the full-scale attack of the Sun and Moon?

Emperor Xingluo and Duke Baihu had never doubted it before, but now they were deeply shaken.

"Brother Dai, in your opinion, can our Mingdou defense line withstand the bombardment of a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell?" Xingluo's tone was tinged with panic.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it will be very difficult! Although we have deployed a large amount of manpower and resources to the Mingdou defense line, I estimate that it can withstand at most two such attacks, and after that, it will definitely collapse!"

Duke White Tiger had just lost his son and hadn't even had time to grieve before facing an even greater crisis.

"Too fast, far too fast. I never imagined that the Sun Moon Empire would develop soul tools to such an extent that a mere few fixed-position soul-guided shells could dismantle my Star Luo defense line."

"I thought that with my secret efforts and the numerous soul tools I bought from the Sun Moon Empire for research, the development of soul tools in Star Luo was not much weaker than that of the Sun Moon Empire. I never expected the gap to widen so much."

"Our original Douluo Three Kingdoms were complacent and closed off, neglecting the development of soul tools. In the end, we reaped the bitter fruits of our arrogance. If the Holy War were to break out again, I wonder if we could still defeat the Sun and Moon?"

The Star Emperor's words carried a strong sense of insecurity. This glimpse, however small, revealed just how terrifying the Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon was—enough to show a corner of the Sun Moon Empire hidden beneath the surface.

"Your Majesty, please do not worry too much. The number and quality of our Soul Masters in the Douluo Three Kingdoms far surpass those of the Sun Moon Empire. Coupled with Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent for ten thousand years, if the Holy War truly returns, we will surely be victorious once again!"

Regardless of whether the White Tiger Duke agreed with the Star Emperor's words, he had to offer words of comfort at this moment.

"Pass on my order: accelerate the process of equipping the Imperial Soul Master Legion with Soul Guidance Devices. Imperial resources will be prioritized for supporting the construction of the Soul Master Legion. By the end of next year, I want to see the Empire's first true Soul Guidance Legion established!"

After a brief period of dejection, the Star Emperor immediately regained his composure and decisiveness.

With the war yet to begin, they still have time to prepare, and Jing Hongchen's threat today may not necessarily be a bad thing.

"Send high-ranking officials to secretly contact the other two countries, informing them of everything that happened in Star Luo City today and explaining the implications. Make sure they take the development of soul tools seriously. The Sun Moon Empire's current national strength is unfathomable!"

The Star Emperor truly lived up to his reputation as a ruler; his courage and decisiveness far surpassed that of ordinary people. He immediately established a national policy to accelerate the development of soul tools, while simultaneously reminding potential allies to strengthen their national power, hoping to narrow the gap with the Sun and Moon Empires and gain some advantage in the inevitable final battle.

The Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell made the Star Emperor extremely pessimistic about the war that was about to begin.

"I hope it's not too late!" The Star Emperor looked at his people with unwavering eyes and sighed silently in his heart.

After Jing Hongchen left, Shrek Academy's group remained temporarily at Xingluo Square.

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

Ma Xiaotao is still trapped in the solid ice, with Elder Xuan guarding her and instructing no one to disturb her.

Although Xingluo found this strange, they wouldn't refuse Shrek Academy's request.

Let Elder Xuan guard a piece of solid ice and occupy Xingluo Square.

The rest of Shrek followed Elder Xuan's instructions and returned to the Star Emperor Hotel, waiting for Ma Xiaotao to break the ice before setting off back to Shrek.

The death of Dai Yueheng cast a shadow over all of them. Huo Yuhao of the Sun and Moon Team was too terrifying. At such a young age and with only a second-ring cultivation level, he was able to kill Dai Yueheng.

Five years later, can they really defeat the terrifying Huo Yuhao?

Bei Bei, who was familiar with Huo Yuhao, was even more worried, having witnessed the whole thing.

He had seen the look in Huo Yuhao's eyes before he killed Dai Yueheng!
