Just as Huo Yuhao's side was being miserably crushed by Feng Ling, his partners, under the leadership of the Illustrious Virtue Hall's Hall Master, Jing Hongchen, had finally become famous and had enrolled in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.
Besides Xie Huanyue and Wu Feng, everyone else had shown an extremely strong interest in soul tools. The advanced soul tools had even more so given non-combat-type soul masters like Ning Tian and Ye Linlin a place to be of use on the battlefield.
Xie Huanyue and Wu Feng did not reject soul tools either, but it was also only to the extent of using them. These two's characters were both the carefree type and were originally not suitable for devoting themselves to the study of soul tools.
Among this group of Huo Yuhao's partners, besides Xie Huanyue, they were all girls with their own characteristics. Beautiful girls were very popular no matter where they were, unlike in the original novel where Huo Gua had been targeted by the senior students when he had first arrived.
Xie Huanyue and Wu Feng were originally belligerent and were closer to traditional soul masters. They had very quickly hit it off with the Sword Fanatic Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan. Of course, Ji Juechen and Jing Ziyan, in a one-on-one, were by no means Xie Huanyue's opponent. Often it was only when the two of them had joined forces that they could barely fight to a draw with him.
Ji Juechen's sword was even more so vulnerable in front of Xie Huanyue, whose attack methods had completely changed. After Xie Huanyue had pointed out the reason that his swords were too few, with only one, the second time Ji Juechen had sparred with him, he had brought two more swords.
He held a sword in each of his two hands and was also biting one in his mouth, formally becoming a three-sword-style swordsman.
In addition, Xiao Hongchen, ever since he had hit a wall with Ju Zi, had on the contrary become interested in this group of Huo Yuhao's partners, especially the quiet, beautiful young girl, Ye Linlin, whose character was closest to Ju Zi's.
Thus, this number one genius of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, who had been jokingly called "big brother-in-law" by Huo Yuhao, had actually proactively proposed to personally guide Ye Linlin's soul tool studies.
Especially the cordiality and the willingness to speak without reservation when he was clearing Ye Linlin's doubts had made his younger sister, Meng Hongchen, a little jealous.
She had never seen her arrogant-to-the-heavens brother be so gentle!
Ye Linlin was also the only girl in the team who only held a sense of fear towards Huo Yuhao. Unlike the few girls from Cui Yejie's side, who were three sentences not away from Huo Yuhao, she was an excellent target for Xiao Hongchen to pursue.
Soon, the news of Huo Yuhao leading a group to raze Shrek to the ground had, like a storm, swept through the entire continent and had reached the ears of the crowd.
When they had heard this news, Huo Yuhao's group of partners had been directly shocked beyond words. What kind of a foundation Shrek Academy possessed, they were all too clear. But, just this kind of a powerful Shrek had on the contrary been razed to the ground by Huo Yuhao alone.
The last bit of pride in Xiao Hongchen's heart had, in front of Huo Yuhao's proud battle record, disappeared without a trace. He knew that no matter how hard he worked, it was impossible for him to be a match for a heaven's chosen son like Huo Yuhao. In that case, if he couldn't beat him, then he would join him.
Meng Hongchen couldn't help but think of that annoying fellow. Although that boy was glib-tongued and acted without any propriety, his strength was on the contrary really ridiculously strong. Under all of heaven, among the younger generation, there seemed to be no one who could compare to that fellow anymore.
It seemed that his appearance when he had liberated that blade was also a little handsome...
The news of Shrek's destruction had, in just one day's time, quickly spread to the ears of every single person on the continent. There were those who were angry, those who were regretful, those who were in mourning, and also those who were celebrating and reveling.
The instigator, the Demon King Huo Yuhao, had even more so become a celebrity on the entire continent overnight. With the people from all walks of life continuously digging into his past and his growth experience, Huo Yuhao's life story and identity had in the end also then surfaced.
Huo Yuhao, a person of the Star Luo Empire, the illegitimate son of the White Tiger Duke, Dai Hao, and the maid, Huo Yun'er. His martial soul was his eyes, and his innate soul power was only level one. Two years ago, the White Tiger Duke had suffered an unknown attack and had turned into a patch of scorched earth. Huo Yuhao had also lost his trace because of this. It was said that he had been discovered and taken away by an evil soul master. It wasn't until a year later that he had, with the strength of two rings, signed up to enroll in Shrek Academy.
In the Shrek freshman assessment, the three-ring Huo Yuhao had displayed a Soul Sage-level combat power, and had frontally defeated the children of the Dai family and the Zhu family, who possessed the martial soul fusion skill, the Nether White Tiger, and had become famous for a time.
A year later, the returned-from-vacation Huo Yuhao had reached the fourth ring. Subsequently, because he had had a private meeting with an evil soul master, he had been discovered by the Shrek City defense officer, the Time Douluo. After a battle, he had actually successfully killed a Titled Douluo and had been placed on the bounty list by Shrek Academy.
It wasn't until the grand tournament three months ago that Huo Yuhao, who had left Shrek Academy, had publicly joined the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy's team. In one fell swoop, he had defeated Shrek's participating team and had won the final championship for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy.
And at that time, Huo Yuhao had already displayed the strength of a Super Douluo and had had a fierce battle with the Shrek experts who had come to capture him. Even the contemporary dean of the Shrek martial soul department, Yan Shaozhe, had been dispatched. The result was on the contrary a great defeat, and he had even had a female elder captured by him as a hostage.
Three months later was the heaven-shaking battle that had erupted outside the east gate of Shrek. Huo Yuhao had summoned a behemoth and had shattered the terrain of the Shrek City's territory.
And this year, Huo Yuhao was not yet thirteen years old.
What kind of a concept was this? Even the most stunningly talented few in the history of Shrek, at this age, were also still studying in the outer court, and the number of their soul rings would by no means have been more than Huo Yuhao's.
And Huo Yuhao's various abilities had also been deeply dug out by the researchers of the major circles.
Huo Yuhao, the owner of a three-life martial soul. His first martial soul was his eyes. His second martial soul was precisely the wood element manipulation ability that had razed Shrek to the ground. His third martial soul was on the contrary a long blade of the ultimate ice attribute. He could also summon undead creatures from another dimension. It could be said that one person had gathered the four great soul master development directions of control, power-attack, agility-attack, and auxiliary into one.
What kind of a monster was this? Even the Sea God Tang San, who had left behind countless legends ten thousand years ago, at this age, was probably just so-so, right?
Of course, what the world was more concerned about was still the destruction of Shrek Academy. After all, the existence or not of Shrek had too great an impact on the continental pattern. The Sun Moon Empire had always been plotting to launch a war to conquer the entire continent. Only with Shrek interfering had the original three countries of the Douluo Continent been able to survive.
It was also precisely because Shrek had always advocated this kind of a peace that had come from a mutual check and balance that it had led to the continent always being in a state of a military arms race. The border regions were even more so in constant friction, and the people were living in dire straits.
The common people would not care who their ruler was. They would only care if their own life was good or not. No matter what the Douluo Continent ultimately evolved into, the people just wanted themselves and their families to be able to live together peacefully, happily, and contentedly.
This was also a point for which Shrek had always been much criticized. Especially now that Shrek had been destroyed, a public opinion like this was even more rampant.
The Shrek that had never experienced pain could not possibly understand the true meaning of peace.
And for the original three great empires of Douluo, the destruction of Shrek Academy was equivalent to the complete disappearance of the protective umbrella above their heads.
For a time, all parts of the continent had begun to enter a state of war preparation with a roll of drums. The common people at the bottom of the various countries had even more so smelled the aura of an impending storm.
The imperial families of the original three great empires of Douluo hated Huo Yuhao, this world-plaguing demon king, to the bone. Their strength was originally not as good as the Sun Moon Empire's. Under the suppression of the advanced soul tools, to be technologically backward was to be beaten.
And the highly controversial Huo Yuhao himself had on the contrary completely fallen into a real crisis.
For a continuous month, Feng Ling had not moved her delicate body from his. She was continuously squeezing his self-recovering life force. Unfortunately, this kind of a spring scenery was not spied on by anyone. Huo Yuhao was forced to continuously enjoy this kind of an inhumane pleasure of fish and water.
