Chapter 158 Entering the Sun-Moon Empire
It turned out that his teacher had long known that the Body Sect had reached a time when it needed to make changes, and that the soul guide device was indeed a good match for the Body Sect.

However, given his status as the sect leader, once he did something like this, he would easily be questioned by the outside world.

Because he is the leader of the Body Sect, he is in a high position and has great power, so he needs to think from this perspective when doing anything.

But Huo Yuhao was different. First, he was only the chief successor of the Body Sect. Second, he was a soul master himself. Third, and most importantly, Huo Yuhao was very young. Even if he made any mistakes, he could use his young age as an excuse.

It can be said that the reason why Du Bu Si put the responsibility of promoting soul guides on Huo Yuhao was actually to consider a way out for the Body Sect.

If you fail, give up the soul guide.

After Huo Yuhao understood this, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

"Teacher, it is not easy to promote soul guides in the Body Sect. Even if you leave this matter to me, you still have to give me help."

"No problem. Tell me, what help do you need?" Faced with the request made by his disciple, Du Bu Si readily agreed.

“Simple.” Huo Yuhao said with a smile on his face, “Funds and materials are not a problem for the Body Sect. The most difficult part is how to find a high-level soul guide to be a teacher for the Body Sect.”

"You should know that the person with the highest level of tutor here is from Lake College."

"Do you mean that we need to find a soul guide in the Sun and Moon Empire?" Du Bu Si asked.

“That’s right. Only the soul mentors in the Sun-Moon Empire are the most orthodox, the most powerful, and the best at teaching.” Huo Yuhao nodded in agreement.

"It seems like you already have a target in mind?" Du Bu Si suddenly felt as if he was being plotted against by his little apprentice.

“Hehe, look at what you said, we just made a few contingency plans.” Huo Yuhao said with a smile, touching his nose.

"Tell me, who do we need to find?" Du Bu Si asked directly.

"Teacher, let's go to the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire to find an eighth-level soul mentor. His name is Xuan Ziwen."

"Xuan Ziwen?" Du Bu Si asked, "Does this person have any special abilities?"

"Of course, he is the eighth-level soul master who has the greatest hope of being promoted to the ninth-level soul master, or even the tenth-level soul master, in the Sun-Moon Empire today."

"Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he is not loyal to Mingde Hall or the Sun Moon Empire. He is only loyal to his dream."

"When people talk about dreams, they are often about themselves. It seems that Xuan Ziwen you mentioned seems to be very confident in himself." Du Bushi said.

Huo Yuhao was about to continue talking when Du Bu Si interrupted him: “Go back and have a good rest today. Tomorrow we will try to break into the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire.”

"I also want to see how strong Mingde Hall is. Can it withstand my poisonous body?"

"Yes, teacher." After Huo Yuhao returned, Su Xiaoxiao skillfully took out the medicine box and applied various ointments on Huo Yuhao's body.

The various soul guides used by Huo Yuhao this time are basically far more powerful than ordinary level 4 soul guides, so the price to be paid and the carrying capacity required are also greater than ordinary level 4 soul guides.

At this moment, after Huo Yuhao put away all his soul guides, one could clearly see dense marks on his arms, calves and even his back. In serious cases, even the flesh and blood inside had been exposed.

It can be seen that everything has a price.

"Young Master obviously doesn't need to fight this battle." Su Xiaoxiao said distressedly as she looked at the injuries on Huo Yuhao's body.

"You don't have to fight the others, but this one must be fought."

"What is necessary? It's obvious that the Sect Master is plotting against you." Su Xiaoxiao said indignantly.

“Go ahead and plot against me. I’m happy to be plotted against by my teacher. It’s enough as long as I can achieve my goal.” Huo Yuhao said leisurely while lying on the bed.

It seemed that he didn't take this matter seriously at all.

After recuperating, the next day Huo Yuhao followed his teacher and flew across the scenery line with the Sun Moon Empire, then fell down and sneaked into the territory of the Sun Moon Empire silently.

"The Sun-Moon Empire is just different." After crossing the surrounding cities of the Sun-Moon Empire and walking for several days carefully hiding their identities, the master and disciple finally arrived at Mingdu, the imperial capital where Mingde Hall was located.

As the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire, Mingdu has always been a paradise for soul guides. It is also the place with the most advanced and complete soul guide technology in the entire Douluo Continent.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty that Du Bu Si and Huo Yuhao met this time was not in its best period of development. Of course, this reason should be mainly blamed on Huo Yuhao.

It was precisely because of the evidence that Huo Yuhao presented at the Continental High-level Soul Master Elite Fighting Soul Competition that the Sun-Moon Empire was plunged into war.

Mingdu is the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire, where 90% of the nobles of the Sun-Moon Empire live. As a result, this is almost the place where the struggle is most intense.

Within two years, people kept dying from assassinations, and many nobles were uprooted because of this incident.

This shows the cruelty of political struggle.

Although Xu Tianran had expressed his intention to sever ties with the Holy Spirit and to attack the Holy Spirit Church, in actual action, Xu Tianran was just pretending to deal with the public.

The massive war did not have any effect, and not many people died on both sides. On the contrary, during this process, many nobles slandered their political enemies as members of the Holy Spirit Church, and used this to exclude dissidents.

The Great Purge had an irreversible impact on the Sun-Moon Empire. Too many high-level soul masters became victims of the purge because of their status, connections, etc.

Xu Tianran also knew that doing so would definitely cause certain damage to the national strength of the Sun Moon Empire, but ever since that incident, Xu Tianran had been particularly wary of other voices emerging within the Sun Moon Empire, so this large-scale purge was actually presided over by him.

His purpose was to drive out those old ministers who disobeyed him from the court and turn the entire Sun-Moon Empire into his own one-man show.

The reason why Xu Tianran dared to do this, in addition to his own strength, was mainly because the emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire was not as healthy as before.

There is not much time left to be awake every day. Under such circumstances, Xu Tianran became more and more reckless.

Xu Tianran is quite skilled in eliminating dissidents, winning over the military, and cleaning up political enemies.

But what Xu Tianran did not notice was that in this process, although on the surface he had a deeper control over the Sun-Moon Empire, in terms of actual results, Xu Tianran's control over the Sun-Moon Empire was actually far less than before.

This was mainly because Xu Tianran stood too high up, and he was far from seeing the resentment of the lower-middle and lower-class nobles and other forces towards the Holy Spirit Church.

Class contradictions grew stronger and stronger, and the division between the upper and lower classes became more and more serious.

But Xu Tianran didn't know all this.

Because this resentment and division were suppressed to nothing in the face of the powerful national strength and the burning ambitions of the Sun-Moon Empire.

But can any country continue to win? The Sun-Moon Empire is now like a powder keg. It only takes one defeat to turn the entire empire into ashes.

But the ruler of this empire did not see it, or even if he saw it, he would not admit it, because this situation was caused by his own hands. To deny this situation is to deny oneself.

“As long as the Body Sect works hard to research soul guides, it can become like the Sun-Moon Empire in the future.” Huo Yuhao made a big promise.

But what a pity is that how could such an experienced person like Du Bu Si be fooled by Huo Yuhao’s big words?
"What are you thinking? Is it good for them to do what they do? If all things are left to the soul guides, then what are the soul masters for?"

"The best use of soul guides is to enhance the strength of soul masters, as a supplement to the soul master's own strength."

Huo Yuhao shrugged and did not argue with Du Bu Si.

Then the master and disciple arrived near the Sun and Moon Royal Academy.

Mingde Hall is very close to the Sun Moon Royal Academy, or in other words, Mingde Hall itself is located inside the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and is a part of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

Therefore, it is not so easy to sneak into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy.

In fact, nothing is simple or troublesome for Du Bu Si, mainly because Huo Yuhao is still by his side.

“Teacher, don’t worry about me. Go by yourself. I’ll go for a walk around the academy.” When Huo Yuhao closed his eyes and opened them again, he had completely changed.

It looked like a student who just passed by.

“Okay.” Seeing Huo Yuhao like this, Du Bu Si no longer hesitated and disappeared instantly. He quietly sneaked into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy and prepared to take action.

Huo Yuhao also planned to take this opportunity to visit the place in the book where he had studied before.

Maybe I can even kidnap one or two geniuses.

After all, compared to the master who is a waste who can only talk but not do, there is a real genius in this academy.

Only this person is worthy of the saying that there are no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters.

This person's name is Ji Juechen. Even Huo Yuhao felt that his experience was extremely legendary after reading it in a book.

Forge a piece of scrap iron into an iron sword, put all your energy into the sword, and strive to achieve the state of unity between man and sword.

From the first soul ring onwards, I hunted soul beasts alone.

Every soul ring is used to increase soul power instead of choosing to increase soul power. The firmness of his mind and the strength of his talent are simply unheard of.

It is really unfair that such characters didn't become gods in the end.

And most importantly, Huo Yuhao clearly remembered that it was a competition between him and Ji Juechen in the book that led to his sudden enlightenment. He realized the existence of the domain, and thus his strength improved further.

It is embarrassing to say that Huo Yuhao still has not comprehended any domain until now, except the one given by the Snow Queen.

So this time, Huo Yuhao was actually planning to compete with Ji Juechen, wanting to rely on Ji Juechen to create pressure on himself to see if he could comprehend the realm again.

But what was more embarrassing was that after Huo Yuhao entered the academy, someone suddenly patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder.

Huo Yuhao was startled for a moment, but pretended to be calm and turned around to look at the other person.

She was a girl of fifteen or sixteen with long black hair.

"Didn't you just say you were going home? Why are you back so soon?" Huo Yuhao was now playing the role of an ordinary-looking boy with a short haircut. Apart from that, he had almost no special features in the crowd.

Huo Yuhao never thought that such an ordinary person would meet an acquaintance as soon as he entered the academy.

This is so embarrassing.

"I forgot to take something, so I'm going to come back and get something before I leave." Huo Yuhao made up an excuse.

"Oh. Then you'd better not leave yet. I was just about to tell you that there's a game going on in the gymnasium. Let's go watch it." The girl pulled Huo Yuhao and rushed over there.

Huo Yuhao didn’t know whether he should refuse or accept, so he had to be dragged away by the other party.

"Come on, come on, the competition is about to begin. This competition is between Ji Juechen and a level 5 soul engineer. Ji Juechen is challenging a higher level soul engineer, and I don't know if he can win." The black-haired girl looked at the two people in the field excitedly.

When Huo Yuhao heard Ji Juechen's name, he also turned his gaze towards the field.

On the competition field, there was a man with purple hair, holding an ordinary iron sword, and his eyes were closed.

Let people know who this person is at a glance.

"Hey, hey, who do you think will win, Ji Juechen or that senior?" the girl asked Huo Yuhao excitedly.

"I don't know." Huo Yuhao shook his head and gave an impeccable answer.

“Hey, why are you talking like that? I wonder if you normally look down on soul masters like this the most, and think that soul masters like this are definitely not as good as soul teachers.” The girl looked at Huo Yuhao suspiciously: “What’s wrong with you today?”

Huo Yuhao shook his head and said nothing. Judging from his clothes, he seemed to be in a bad mood.

It was this look that made the girl give up the idea of ​​continuing to ask.

"I think Ji Juechen will definitely win because of his strength. He is far beyond the reach of other soul masters. Before this, Ji Juechen has never lost." The girl seemed to be a fan of Ji Juechen.

He spoke excitedly about every opponent that Ji Juechen had fought against over the years.

It can be seen that he really admires Ji Juechen.

Soon, as more and more people entered the stadium, the referee looked at the time and walked onto the stage, looking at Ji Juechen and another opponent.

"Hey, the time is up. If you two have no objection, the game will begin."

"But before the game I still want to reiterate that in our competition, no deaths are allowed. If any, we will deal with it according to school rules."

"Okay, I have no other requests. Please fight to your heart's content."
