Chapter 48: Departure
If Huo Yuhao were to raise his arms now and call for the overthrow of the Sea Gods Pavilion to seize that position.
Then, among the current Shrek members, Ling Luochen would be the first to follow him unconditionally.
Next would be Ma Xiaotao, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo.
Just like the supreme majesty of the Snow Empress in the Far North, an absolute suppression of attributes compels submission.
A small gap sparks the desire to win, but a gap like a firefly compared to the bright moon, a floating speck seeing the blue sky, that is reverence.
Although Huo Yuhao outwardly possessed the ultimate ice attribute, when his Soul Power truly merged into Ling Luochen's body, even though she didn't know it was the Divine Rank ice attribute, merely thinking it was the ultimate ice attribute was enough for her to revere and submit.
Especially after multiple fusions of Soul Power with Huo Yuhao, her ice attribute became even purer, even showing signs of evolving into the ultimate ice attribute.
Or rather, as long as Huo Yuhao was willing to spend time, any ice attribute Soul Master could evolve into an ultimate ice attribute Soul Master with his help.
In terms of strength, Ling Luochen, whose attribute was absolutely suppressed, was inferior to even Bei Bei in front of Huo Yuhao.
In Ling Luochen's heart, Huo Yuhao's status even surpassed that of all of Shrek.
The ultimate and pure ice attribute Soul Power emanated outwards.
Fifth Soul skills, Ring of Ice Radiance!
At this moment, Ling Luochen was equivalent to a Soul King of the ultimate ice attribute, and the Ring of Ice Radiance instantly froze Bei Bei and Chen Zifeng.
Bei Bei and Chen Zifeng were taken off the stage.
Jiang Nannan quickly went to assist in surrounding Yao Haoxuan.
Yao Haoxuan's combat strength was indeed not weak; although he was control and support focused, he was essentially a tank, and his fifth Soul Ring could even threaten a Soul Emperor.
Of course, this move had too long of a wind-up animation, so it usually couldn't be executed, otherwise, he wouldn't have lost to Chen Zifeng in the selection competition.
"Haha, Dai Yueheng, you're quite durable!"
Ma Xiaotao was having fun fighting; Dai Yueheng, with Gongyang Mo focusing on support, combined with the White Tiger Martial Soul's inherent offense and defense, truly made for a good sparring partner.
But when Ma Xiaotao glanced sideways and saw Ling Luochen, her expression immediately stiffened.
That ice woman found another chance to get close to Yuhao again!
Damn it, damn it, Dai Yueheng, go die for this old lady!
Dai Yueheng, who was suddenly beaten until his face was bruised and swollen by Ma Xiaotao's outburst: What happened! Why did she suddenly strike so hard!
The result of this match had already been determined.
Yao Haoxuan was spun around by the surrounding attacks, and Dai Yueheng's entire body was scorched black.
"Sister Xiaotao, hurry up and admit defeat."
Huo Yuhao looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was still sulking, wondering if it was shame from losing the match and having to publicly shout that she was a pig, or if she was just angry.
"Fine, fine, this old lady is a pig, a big stupid pig."
"As expected of Sister Xiaotao, even admitting she's a pig is so domineering."
"Huo Yuhao, you're finished!"
The others also accepted their penalties cleanly; Ning Tian shouted it out generously, and Xiao Xiao finished shouting with a blush.
She was sent off the stage by Huo Yuhao as soon as the match began without doing anything.
Only Lan Luoluo, a girl with particularly thin skin, couldn't bring herself to say it.
In the end, she stuttered it out... "Sister Ya, have you thought it through?"
Tang Ya pursed her lips, remaining silent for a long time.
Huo Yuhao sighed.
He held very complex feelings towards Tang Ya.
Or rather, Huo Yuhao initially tried to avoid both Bei Bei and Tang Ya whenever possible.
Fearing he might be plotted against.
But one's state of mind changes with their confidence.
Before Electrolux's Soul was repaired, I feared Tang San might play dirty; now that Electrolux's Soul is repaired, if I'm still afraid, wasn't the Soul repair for nothing?
In the original story, there are always some characters who meet tragic ends; now that he has the ability, Huo Yuhao must lend a hand to some of them.
Watching predetermined fate unfold is simple, but striving to prevent fate from occurring is what Huo Yuhao should be doing.
Bei Bei and Tang Ya have deep feelings for each other; by extension, Tang Ya is also Huo Yuhao's future granddaughter-in-law. As a grandfather, shouldn't he consider his grandson?
"No, really not possible. The Tang Sect was left to me by my parents; I cannot dissolve it."
Tang Ya said this with difficulty, and suddenly, tears flowed down uncontrollably as if a dam had broken.
He handed Tang Ya a brand new white silk handkerchief.
"Don't cry. If you don't dissolve it, then don't dissolve it. Otherwise, Bei Bei will think I bullied you."
Huo Yuhao's blue eyes reflected Tang Ya's pitiful mirror image.
It is better for the world to retain a Tang Sect Leader, Tang Ya, than to have an infamous Blue Silver Holy Maiden who has killed countless people.
The Holy Spirit Cult was also Huo Yuhao's enemy.
He was not some compassionate Saint, but neither was he someone who could associate with that group of Evil Soul Masters.
Darkness leading to cannibalism was not what Huo Yuhao desired.
"No matter what, do not stray onto the wrong path. This is the advice I can give you. I have warned you today, and I hope you take it to heart; otherwise, no matter which corner of the continent you flee to, I will make you regret it."
Tang Ya stopped crying and suddenly felt as if all the secrets in her heart had been seen through.
Huo Yuhao's tone shifted back to being relaxed.
"Alright, your revenge will be taken in the future; don't rush it for the sake of one moment. You can rely on Bei Bei, or you can seek my help. Do not make Bei Bei sad, and do not disappoint me."
He left.
Tang Ya was left in a daze... Today was the day to set off for Star Luo City to participate in the competition.
Elder Xuan passionately preached the glory, mission, and honor of the Shrek Supervisory Team to the reserve members.
Huo Yuhao strongly disagreed.
The Evil Soul Masters must be exterminated; this must be done at all times, it cannot be avoided.
But why was Shrek the only force in the original Douluo Continent exterminating them?
The intelligence was provided by the three great Empires; Huo Yuhao dared not imagine how much of it was self-serving.
One must remember that the Supervisory Team also killed corrupt nobles and officials.
May I ask, how did Shrek judge who deserved to be killed?
Even if they deserved to be killed, weren't they being used as pawns by other nobles and officials?
Shrek was the de facto supreme ruler above the three original Empires, capable of killing nobles and officials as they pleased.
Would the three original Empires submit to this?
Of course, they had no choice but to submit, as Shrek Academy alone could defeat all the Top Soul Masters of the three original Empires.
Inner Court students suffered casualties every year while exterminating Evil Soul Masters; this kind of training was highly inadequate.
Why did Inner Court students have to risk their lives against Evil Soul Masters across the entire continent? Where were those long-established Titled Douluo? The three original Empires were also happy to let Shrek fight the Evil Soul Masters to the death.
Change, it must be changed!
Of course, Huo Yuhao did not possess that much authority and power right now.
Even if he told Mu En, Mu En would be powerless to act, and the other honored elders immersed in Shrek's glory would not agree.
Huo Yuhao would sweep away all these rotten and erroneous things.
The Academy should focus on teaching and cultivating Soul Masters, which is better.
One continent and four Empires—wasn't that division?
