Chapter 127 No Way...

“So, the reason for sending you such a precious thing is just because we hope you can kill Huo Yuhao in the game?” Xiao Hongchen said with a curious look on his face as he looked at the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone that had just been sent to him.

"That's right." Meng Hongchen stared at the soul bone in front of him without blinking. This was a soul bone with the ultimate ice attribute, and there might not be a second one available in the entire continent.

"Is there a trap?" Because of this strange incident, all the main members of the Sun and Moon team gathered together. Ma Rulong looked at the magnificent soul bone and couldn't help but express his doubts.

"That's right. After all, we don't even know who is sending us the things, so we'd better be cautious." The leader of the Sun and Moon Team looked at Meng Hongchen worriedly. After all, if something happened to these two little ancestors here, he would be in trouble when he returned.

"It's easy to figure out this." Meng Hongchen smiled sweetly and stretched out his hand. A small metal object rested on the palm of his hand.

"Humph, these people from the Xingluo Empire are just sitting in a well and looking at the sky. How can they know how advanced the current soul guides have become?"

Meng Hongchen blew out a breath gently, and the metal creature flapped its wings, flew over the window, and disappeared into the endless darkness.

"This is one of the only three experimental products that grandpa has. You must not break it." Xiao Hongchen warned when he saw the metal creature flying away.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Meng Hongchen said confidently.

On the other side, in the Shrek team's meeting room, Dean Qian Duoduo wanted to design some difficulties for his students to prevent them from defeating the opponent in one breath, but after much consideration, there was nothing he could design. Qian Duoduo simply left and let the students discuss it themselves.

"Our next opponent tomorrow is Qianling Academy, which is ranked among the top three academies in the Douling Empire and is quite strong." Beibei read the information about Qianling Academy in the intelligence.

"This team is most famous for their Ice and Fire Dual Control Thousand Strikes Spear. The two Ice and Fire Control Spirit Masters plus their captain's martial spirit Thousand Strikes Spear form their team's ultimate move. Once this move is used, the victory or defeat is decided."

"Since they are the dual-control Thousand Strike Spears of Ice and Fire, why don't we use ice and fire against ice and fire and defeat them the way they are best at?" Xiao Xiao said suddenly.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Xiao Xiao. They didn't expect that this little girl looked so pure, but turned out to be a black-bellied little loli.

If they were to defeat others using what they are best at, Qianling Academy would probably be completely destroyed!
Xiao Xiao's face turned red under everyone's gaze, and she muttered softly: "If it doesn't work, forget it..."

"Interesting, I like it." The new senior Kong Zhi played with the ends of his hair.

"That's fine then."

Just like that, the fate of Qianling Academy was decided.

They don't even know about it.

The next day, the game continued.

But Huo Yuhao did not appear in the audience, because he had an appointment with a beautiful woman at the moment.

"According to intelligence, Dai Yueheng's legs have no chance of recovery. If he wants to walk in the future, he can only follow the example of Xu Tianran of the Sun and Moon Empire." Xu Jiujiu, who had not been seen for a long time, stood by the window and said indifferently.

Huo Yuhao said: "You don't look very happy?"

"Dai Yueheng and I are about the same age, and I knew him back then." Xu Jiujiu's eyes revealed a complicated look: "Although I knew that Dai Yueheng would never do well according to your plan, I didn't expect him to suddenly become like this."

Huo Yuhao said: "I want the Duchess to die, then there is no reason for Dai Yueheng to live."

"It's interesting to talk about it," Xu Jiujiu chuckled and said, "Sun and Moon and Xing Luo, Xu Tianran and Dai Yueheng, the emperor and the marshal. What a similar fate!"

Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment: "The emperor is the emperor, and the marshal is the marshal. They are similar but not the same. In the tens of thousands of years of history of Douluo Continent, the throne has only been passed on twice."

No one spoke for a long time, and an inexplicable silence echoed in the empty corridor.

“Little brother Yuhao, come here.” Xu Jiujiu hooked his finger at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao was confused, but he went over.

Then, Xu Jiujiu smiled sweetly, and suddenly hugged Huo Yuhao in her arms, her fingers gently wandering around Huo Yuhao's neck.

Huo Yuhao felt that teenage years were indeed the period of fastest growth for girls.

"Okay, let's go. You guys at Shrek Academy don't have to worry about the ranking, but we still have to work hard." After saying that, Xu Jiujiu turned around and left.

Huo Yuhao watched Xu Jiujiu leave and thought carefully about the words on his neck.

"Big..., what does this mean?"

Huo Yuhao didn’t understand Xu Jiujiu’s hint for a moment.

Huo Yuhao originally thought that Xu Jiujiu came to him this time to reminisce about the past, but after actually meeting Xu Jiujiu, Huo Yuhao realized that this was definitely not what Xu Jiujiu meant.

Xu Jiujiu said so much just now, but in the final analysis it only meant one thing - to test whether Huo Yuhao had any intention of competing for the throne.

Speaking of which, Huo Yuhao was actually quite puzzled by Xu Jiujiu's behavior.

Now that he has revealed his identity and openly confronted the Duchess, Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin have died as a result. To be frank, the number of deaths in the Duke of Baihu's Mansion in the past few decades is not as high as in this period. It is a great loss of face. Logically, the royal family should feel more at ease about this.

This sudden test of Huo Yuhao seemed to be saying that our royal family is still worried about you.

I don't know what's wrong with this.

Although these words were said by Xu Jiujiu, I knew that they were not what Xu Jiujiu meant. Otherwise, Xu Jiujiu would not have had to hint at me at the end.

I just don't know who is the person behind the scenes who meant this.

The person with the most power in the Xingluo royal family is undoubtedly the emperor Xu Jiawei, followed by the little princess Xu Jiujiu. Some people may have a higher status than Xu Jiujiu, such as the queen, but due to the tradition of the Xingluo Empire, the queen is not allowed to interfere in politics, so the queen does not have much power.

The other princes and princesses did not have much power due to their age.

From this perspective, it seems that Emperor Xingluo is the most suspicious.

But you can say that Emperor Xu Jiawei is not decisive enough, but you cannot say that Emperor Xu Jiawei has no talent.

Huo Yuhao couldn't think of who the other party was for a moment, but he was too lazy to continue guessing. How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan!

The throne or something like that is all the same as whoever is interested in it.

By the time Huo Yuhao arrived at the competition venue, the game had already ended.

The result was naturally a great victory for Shrek.

There is of course no doubt about this. After all, with the same attributes of ice and fire, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen simply defeated each other. Although Beibei, who was fighting against the Thousand Spear Soul King, was a little lower in level, who could blame the others for their stronger strength?

In the end, Shrek won the game easily.

After this game, Shrek easily won the remaining games and quickly advanced to the semi-finals.

When they met the Xingluo Royal Academy team where Xu Jiujiu was, Huo Yuhao played once, but only as a supporting player. The main fighting force was still those seniors from the inner courtyard.

Of course, the members of the reserve team will not be without any chance to play.

In order to serve as a training ground, at least two members of the reserve team will play in every match, among which Beibei and He Caitou have the least number of appearances.

After all, although they are both four-ring soul masters on the surface, even ordinary soul kings are no match for them, and their strength is completely comparable to that of the regular team members.

When fighting against the six-winged angel spirit, senior Kong Zhi, who possessed the two-headed wolf spirit, appeared. With just one move of his own spirit skill, he made the opponent understand why Shrek had been able to dominate the championship for so many years.

It's just too strong.

At this point, basically not many people would doubt who would be the champion this time, except for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

"So you really won't absorb this soul bone? If you absorb this soul bone, we might be able to snatch the championship position from Shrek Academy this time." Xiao Hongchen looked at his sister Meng Hongchen.

"What's a championship? Compared to the secret behind this soul bone, a championship means nothing." Meng Hongchen chuckled, with the exquisite metal creation still on his finger.

"Have you found out the person behind this soul bone?" Xiao Hongchen suddenly realized something and his expression became more solemn.

"Of course. How could your dear sister fail?" Meng Hongchen looked at Xiao Hongchen in a good mood: "Brother, you will never guess who is behind this soul bone?"

"Who is it? It can't be the wife of the Duke of White Tiger." Xiao Hongchen said casually.

Hearing this, Meng Hongchen suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen was confused by his sister's look at him at first, but then he quickly realized what was going on and said in disbelief, "No way..."

"There really are such stupid people in this world?! Is she crazy?!"

Xiao Hongchen couldn't believe that the person behind the soul bone was the Duchess.

After all, who is the Duchess?

She is the legal wife of the Duke of White Tiger, the mistress of the Duke of White Tiger's mansion, and the legitimate daughter of the Nether Spirit Cat family, an old noble family in the Star Luo Empire.

It can be said that she is one of the people in the entire empire who is least likely to betray the Star Luo Empire. After all, her birth and status bind her closely to the Star Luo Empire.

“What’s impossible about this? Everyone has emotions. There are still a few people in the Xingluo Imperial Capital who don’t know about the matter between the Duchess and Huo Yuhao. With one of her sons dead and the other injured, it’s possible that this mother could do anything.” As a woman, Meng Hongchen finds it easier to think from the Duchess’ perspective.

"So how do you plan to use this leverage? Threaten her to hand over the military secrets of the Star Luo Empire to us. You must know that the Western Army Group led by Duke White Tiger has always been the strongest enemy faced by the empire. It would be great if we could plant a few spies in the Western Army Group." Xiao Hongchen suggested.

"I... I think it's better for my grandfather to decide on this matter. There are too many things to do." Meng Hongchen hesitated for a long time and finally decided to leave the matter to his grandfather, Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall.

After all, this matter is really big, and it is not something that a little girl can decide.

Xiao Hongchen wanted to make a decision, but was worried about messing up the matter, so he gave up unwillingly in the end.

It can only be said that the Duchess completely lost her mind in pursuit of revenge and she also did not have a correct understanding of soul guides.

Jing Hongchen is a first-class soul instructor even in the Sun-Moon Empire where there are many soul instructors, otherwise he would not be the head of Mingde Hall.

You have to know that Mingde Hall is one of the three major forces in the soul master world. Even though the status of the head of Mingde Hall is not as high as that of the head of the Body Sect and the head of the Sea God Pavilion due to the existence of the Sun-Moon Empire, he is still a first-class person with a high status.

The soul guide made by someone like him is still a prototype, but its quality and function are definitely ahead of this era.

No matter how this matter is handled in the end, the problem facing the Sun-Moon Empire now is how to win the championship.

The championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Fighting Contest has been monopolized by Shrek for a full ten thousand years. Now the Sun-Moon Empire is ambitious and wants to restart the war of the past and annex other countries in one fell swoop. Therefore, in addition to improving the empire's hard power, it must also find a way to boost the empire's morale.

The best way is to break Shrek Academy's 10,000-year championship curse and prove that the Sun-Moon Empire has completely surpassed all forces in the original Douluo Continent.

But right now, this does not seem to be so easy to achieve.

Although it is unlikely that the empire will punish them even if it cannot be achieved, they are all the elites of the Sun-Moon Empire and naturally have their own pride in their hearts.

There is no one who doesn't want to defeat Shrek, but only a few can achieve this goal in the end.

"Can the Sword of Judgment in Senior Ma's hand really have any effect on Ma Xiaotao?" Meng Hongchen asked after a moment's silence.

“It should be possible. That’s the soul guide prepared by our grandfather himself. It can definitely stimulate the evil energy in Ma Xiaotao’s body. Only if Ma Xiaotao, the strongest combat force, is lost, Shrek will be much easier to deal with.” Even Xiao Hongchen, who often claims to be a genius, showed a little more fear in his eyes when he thought of Ma Xiaotao’s soul power level of more than sixty levels.

However, if Ma Xiaotao cannot play, Xiao Hongchen feels that their Sun and Moon Empire still has a good chance of winning.

After all, there is no shortage of Five-Ring Soul Kings in the Sun-Moon Empire's team, especially since the brother and sister are not only Soul Kings but also have a very powerful soul fusion skill. I believe there is hope of winning the game.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao, who had known about the existence of the Sword of Judgment for a long time, also began to think about using some methods to ban the opponent's Sword of Judgment. After all, if he knew the plot and still helped the opponent achieve this goal, wouldn't it be a waste of his knowledge?
