Chapter 46: Moon's Support
The two people communicating in secret were Lang Ya and Yu Tao of the Body Sect.
Like Huo Yuhao, they both possessed Body Spirits.
Huo Yuhao's eye Spirit made his eyes appear very profound.
However, the Spirits of these two had a less positive impact; one had thick arms, and the other had a larger head.
Neither of them noticed the mental force fluctuations that permeated the core area of Star Luo City.
They were even unaware that their every word and action were being observed by Huo Yuhao.
As soon as the Destiny Power fluctuated, Huo Yuhao used his mental force to initiate a scan, learning of Poison Undying's movements through their conversation.
Poison Undying's plan to go to Shrek Academy perfectly suited Huo Yuhao's intentions; using a battle with him to compensate for his lack of combat achievements was just right.
It was the fourth day of the Spirit Master Grand Competition, and the first match of the day was Shrek Academy versus Cloud Luo Academy.
Both sides entered their respective preparation areas, awaiting the drawing of the combat method once the match time arrived.
It was then that Yao Haoxuan, seeing the lot-drawing cylinder nearby, suddenly remembered something, leaned over to Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei, and asked with some confusion:
"That's not right, I just realized, we haven't drawn lots yet, so how did Pavilion Master Huo know that today's match would be one-on-one?"
Ma Xiaotao, who was nearby, also joined the discussion with some curiosity upon hearing this.
"Yeah, Yuhao, how did you know the combat method in advance? Did you communicate with the Star Luo Imperial Family beforehand?"
Upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words, everyone, including Wang Yan, showed an expression of understanding.
"There's no need to communicate about such things; it's just a minor ability gained after the second awakening of a Body Spirit."
"However, I advise everyone to use privileges cautiously; excessive recklessness will lead to backlash."
Seeing their misunderstanding, Huo Yuhao, who had already intended to rectify Shrek Academy's atmosphere, took the opportunity to sternly admonish them.
Ma Xiaotao, hearing this, seemed unconcerned and was about to retort when she was glared at by Yan Shaozhe, who was walking ahead, forcing her to swallow the words she was about to utter.
"Do not think this is alarmist; no matter how powerful the Academy is, it is ultimately just an Academy, difficult to contend with an entire nation."
"Right now, if there were any major changes on the continent, a few nine-level spirit tool shells would be enough to severely cripple the Academy."
"The Sun Moon Empire has plenty of those things; their power is such that not to mention lower-cultivation students, even Spirit Emperors like yourselves would find it hard to survive."
Mu En, who was hidden nearby, nodded in approval upon hearing this, fully agreeing with Huo Yuhao's viewpoint.
However, Ma Xiaotao, who had grown up hearing of Shrek Academy's glorious achievements, could not help but feel a surge of indignation; in her mind, the Academy had always been supreme.
Immediately disregarding Yan Shaozhe's suppressive gaze, she retorted with a somewhat hurried tone:
"Pavilion Master Huo, first of all, nine-level spirit tool shells cannot even enter Shrek Academy, and even if something did happen, the Academy's elders would avenge us."
"The elders' intervention would be enough to wipe out the Sun Moon Empire's Imperial Family; no Empire would dare to risk attacking the Academy like that."
Huo Yuhao suddenly gained a direct understanding of Shrek Academy's shallow knowledge of spirit tools and no longer intended to argue with her.
"Ma Xiaotao, after we return, study spirit tool knowledge diligently. Due to your Spirit's unique nature, Gongyang Mo will replace you in the exchange study and relay the relevant knowledge to you."
"Gongyang Mo, as compensation, I will personally customize a Two-Word Battle Armor for you."
"Additionally, each year, have the elders take two prospective Sea God Pavilion members to the Sun Moon Empire to learn about the types and functions of spirit tools."
"I hope in the future I will no longer hear ridiculous statements like the elders being able to kill off the Sun Moon Imperial Family in the Sun Moon Empire's palace. Learn properly what a spirit tool fortress is."
After announcing the new plan, Huo Yuhao's mental force, which had fluctuated due to the grave situation, returned to calmness, and everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
"The pressure near Pavilion Master Huo just now almost solidified. Sister Xiaotao is truly brave, daring to even refute Pavilion Master Huo."
Yao Haoxuan cautiously whispered to Ling Luochen, who was beside him.
Ling Luochen nodded, and Chen Zifeng, standing not far away, quietly expressed his opinion.
"I actually think what Pavilion Master Huo said makes sense. Since he has even developed spirit tools like Battle Armor, the Sun Moon Empire might also have similar advanced spirit tools."
Gongyang Mo, after agreeing to Huo Yuhao's arrangement, quietly comforted Ma Xiaotao, whose evil fire had even calmed down under the impact of Huo Yuhao's might.
Yan Shaozhe ignored the students discussing in low voices around him and secretly looked in Mu En's direction.
After all, this deployment included arrangements for the elders, and Yan Shaozhe instinctively wanted to ask for Mu En's opinion.
"Why are you looking at me? After this month, Yuhao will be the Sea Gods Pavilion Master. In the future, don't ask for my opinion on matters."
"Even if Shrek Academy were to disband one day, it would be for you and Yuhao to discuss, don't always worry about my views."
After Mu En transmitted his message to Yan Shaozhe and saw that he understood his purpose, he continued to lie on his recliner, waiting to watch the upcoming match.
The referee waiting to draw lots not far away was sweating profusely at this moment.
Although a mental force barrier prevented him from hearing what was being discussed inside, that momentary mental fluctuation almost scared him into running away.
Now seeing that Huo Yuhao's side had calmed down and estimating the time was about right, he immediately handed the lot-drawing cylinder to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan and the opposing team's lead teacher went onto the stage, shook hands politely, and then drew lots, indeed drawing a one-on-one combat method.
"Brother Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei, it's all up to you now." Huo Yuhao patted Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei's shoulder and watched him ascend to the competition stage.
"Shrek Academy versus Cloud Luo Academy, one-on-one combat method, first match begins."
As the referee's voice fell, Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei and Cloud Luo Academy's student Ma Yingjun entered the arena together.
After Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei released his Spirit, he did not immediately launch an attack.
Ma Yingjun on the opposite side, seeing this, retreated to the back of the competition stage, watching Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei with some caution.
Next, four spirit rings appeared on Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei's body, and he used a sound-amplifying spirit tool to project his voice so that everyone in the arena could hear him.
"Everyone, I am a reserve team member of Shrek Academy, and my current cultivation is that of a four-ring Spirit Ancestor."
"I will use this match to introduce a new type of spirit tool, an amplification spirit tool developed by Pavilion Master Huo, whom you all have seen before. It is called Battle Armor."
Saying this, Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei summoned the semi-finished Two-Word Battle Armor that had integrated into his body.
A set of blue-purple Battle Armor adorned with golden dragon patterns instantly appeared out of thin air, covering Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei's entire body.
Ignoring the crowd's shock that a spirit tool could integrate into the body, Senior Apprentice-Brother Beibei continued to speak, introducing the Battle Armor's amplification.
"And the effect of this Battle Armor on me is to boost my combat power to a level comparable to a seven-ring Spirit Saint not using a Spirit Avatar."
