"Damn bastard! That old toad dares to humiliate me like this!"
After returning to the hotel room, Xuan Zi immediately exploded with rage, as if he wanted to vent all the humiliation he had suffered from Jing Hongchen in this way.
But what humiliation had Xuan Zi actually suffered?
Jing Hongchen had only stated the fact that he had successfully advanced to the Super Douluo level.
Yan Shaozhe shook his head slightly, feeling helpless at Xuan Zi's extreme reaction.
Qian Duoduo, seeing this, quickly walked over to ask what had happened.
This time, the Shrek Academy team leader teachers, besides Xuan Zi and Yan Shaozhe, also included Qian Duoduo, the vice principal of the Spirit Guidance Department.
According to Moon's instructions, Xuan Zi was there to ensure the safety of the competing students; he was forbidden from making any decisions, big or small.
The only person with actual decision-making power was Yan Shaozhe.
After all, although Yan Shaozhe was indecisive and had only small cleverness rather than great wisdom, he was still far better than Xuan Zi, the brainless fool.
Qian Duoduo, as vice principal of the Spirit Guidance Department, had only one purpose on this trip: to see for himself how far the Spirit Guidance technology of the Sun Moon Empire had advanced, and to estimate how long it would take for Shrek Academy to catch up or even surpass them.
Yan Shaozhe explained to Qian Duoduo what had just happened. This explanation immediately sank Qian Duoduo's already bad mood to rock bottom.
"How about your side? Is there still hope for the Academy to surpass the Sun Moon Empire's Spirit Guidance technology?"
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo's expression flickered back and forth. After a long sigh, he finally spoke slowly:
"It's impossible. There's really no way to compare anymore."
"The Sun Moon Empire has now even started popularizing Spirit Guidance devices that ordinary people without soul power can use without obstruction. Our Academy hasn't even researched the slightest thing. I can't even imagine how strong their war technology has become!"
Yan Shaozhe and Qian Duoduo exchanged a glance and sighed, their hearts heavy with despair.
What they didn't notice was Xuan Zi on the other side. His eyes gradually grew ferocious, and his mind raced as he thought of ways to deliver a heavy blow to the Sun Moon Empire.
"So, Lord Hongchen, how did the people of Shrek react when they found out you were already a Super Douluo?"
Xu Tianran asked, full of interest, watching Jing Hongchen with a look of anticipation for the drama.
Jing Hongchen, smiling broadly, didn't disappoint him:
"Xuan Zi was about to be driven mad. If Yan Shaozhe hadn't suddenly pulled him away, I think it wouldn't have taken long before Xuan Zi couldn't help but make a move on me."
"After all, in the minds of those Shrek fellows, everyone from the Sun Moon Empire only gains strength by using pills that squeeze out potential. Yet I broke through before them. They haven't been able to surpass the Limit Douluo ceiling. How could the proud Shrek students tolerate that?"
Jing Hongchen's sarcastic remark made Xu Tianran and Huo Yuhao laugh out loud.
From Huo Yuhao's understanding of Xuan Zi, if Yan Shaozhe weren't present, Xuan Zi might have stubbornly tried to confront Jing Hongchen head-on.
He might even think that as Shrek Academy's Super Douluo, he must be stronger than the Sun Moon Empire's Super Douluo-level Ninth Rank Spirit Guidance Masters.
Huo Yuhao reminded: this wasn't to insult Xuan Zi—it was just that all his actions over the years clearly demonstrated his intelligence.
"Although they restrained themselves, once they think about the gap between Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Empire, after the Spirit Master Competition ends and their students are safe, they will definitely find ways to sabotage the Sun Moon Empire and try to create turmoil there."
"Others may or may not do so, but with Xuan Zi's personality and style, he absolutely cannot swallow this anger!"
Xu Tianran nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, he needs to be watched carefully. Lord Hongchen, this matter is in your hands."
Jing Hongchen chuckled and said decisively:
"Don't worry, Your Highness. With me here, whatever Xuan Zi tries, I won't let him get away with it. If he dares act recklessly in the Sun Moon Empire this time, I will personally slaughter this gluttonous divine bull!"
After this Spirit Master Competition ends, the Sun Moon Empire will no longer hide its ambition to unify the continent, so Jing Hongchen would naturally show no mercy.
If Xuan Zi tried any underhanded moves, it would be suicidal. The current Sun Moon Empire is completely different from the old Sun Moon Empire!
"Master… we finally see you again."
In a tavern, the tall and beautiful Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya, cloaked in black robes, looked at Huo Yuhao with fanatic devotion.
After waiting for five long years, they finally saw their master again.
Huo Yuhao felt their gaze was a little improper and lightly waved his hand:
"Since arriving in Mingdu, has Zhongli Wu said anything?"
Ma Xiaotao nodded heavily and answered first:
"He said the Sun Moon Empire's development is astonishing. After this Spirit Master Competition ends, we need to create major trouble for the Sun Moon Empire. Xu Tianran must not have it easy."
"And we must also use this opportunity to probe what kind of strength the Sun Moon Empire truly possesses now."
Tang Ya nodded in agreement.
"Zhongli Wu has already sent word to Douling to notify the elders of the Holy Spirit Sect, asking some of them to come to the Sun Moon Empire and prepare for unchecked sabotage."
Huo Yuhao listened and nodded slowly. Seeing their eager expressions, he praised them:
"Well done. Try to figure out where those elders might hide so we can prepare in advance."
"Yes, Master!"
Having received praise, Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya became as excited as children who had received candy, immediately agreeing to Huo Yuhao's orders.
After Huo Yuhao modified their soul cognition and made them sign a master-servant contract, their loyalty to him became unimaginably high.
Even if Huo Yuhao asked them to commit suicide by cutting their own throats, they would obey without hesitation, despite their attachment to him.
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment and said to Tang Ya:
"For this Spirit Master Competition, I will arrange for the Holy Spirit Sect to encounter Shrek Academy. Then it will be up to you."
Arranging for the Holy Spirit Sect and Shrek Academy to meet at the competition was something Xu Tianran and Huo Yuhao had already planned.
The purpose was naturally to exacerbate their conflict and reignite war between them.
Hearing Huo Yuhao, Tang Ya's eyes gleamed with excitement, nodding repeatedly:
"Thank you, Master! This time, I will never let Beibei and Xu Sanshi escape! I will absorb all their life force and soul power, turning them into nourishment for me to grow stronger, so I can accomplish even more for you!"
