Chapter 485: A Little Sun Moon Shock for Them
"You can't say that. The other members of the Sun Moon team also played a role, just not as significant as Huo Yuhao's."
At that moment, the female host on the stage looked at the audience, finding the chatter too noisy. She used a sound amplifying soul device and said, "The seminar is about to begin. Please remain quiet."
The students quickly stopped talking and fell silent.
Seeing this, the host nodded in satisfaction and began introducing each member of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy team. With every introduction, the audience responded with thunderous applause.
Although all the students were already familiar with the championship team, formally introducing them was a matter of etiquette in the Douluo Continent's seminar tradition.
Then, the host started a casual conversation with Huo Yuhao. She began by praising him before asking about his daily life, soul master training, and soul tool crafting. This was meant to bridge the gap between Huo Yuhao and the students.
The other team members were also included in some small talk, but the focus remained firmly on Huo Yuhao.
After all, Huo Yuhao was the team captain and the strongest soul master of his generation.
From both a discussion standpoint and audience interest, he was undoubtedly the highlight of this seminar.
After some conversation, the host said, "Alright, now it's time for everyone to ask Captain Huo some questions, and he will answer them one by one."
Huo Yuhao smiled and nodded, signaling the students to begin.
The students in the audience beamed with excitement, eager for his responses. Of course, the students selected to ask questions had been handpicked by their respective academies and sect leaders.
After all, while the Sun Moon Empire was open and tolerant, there were still taboo topics that could never be mentioned in a public setting such as the mysterious food poisoning deaths of a certain Sun Moon Emperor, his concubines, and children.
Even though the story sounded ridiculous, the official cause of death was publicly accepted, and no one dared to challenge its authenticity.
If they had allowed students to simply raise their hands to ask questions, some clueless fool might have asked something forbidden, ruining the atmosphere and even harming their academy or sect's reputation.
Soon, a tall, dark skinned young noble from the Sun Moon Empire stood up and asked,
"Captain Huo, I have a question. Shrek Academy and Star Luo Empire have committed numerous crimes in the Sun Moon Empire their actions are utterly unforgivable!
A war between Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy, and the Three Nations of Douluo is inevitable!
But since the Three Nations are closely tied to Shrek Academy, our empire will be facing all of them at once.
Do you believe our Sun Moon Empire can win?"
The moment he spoke, all eyes turned to Huo Yuhao.
To them, Huo Yuhao was the Sun Moon Empire's top genius, highly favored by the newly re emerged Kong Lao and destined to become the empire's strongest expert.
Because of his status, he must possess insider knowledge about the true state of the war.
For Sun Moon Empire's academies and sects, this impending continent wide war was terrifying.
While it offered opportunities for power and wealth, it also carried immense risk a single misstep could lead to total destruction.
Thus, they desperately wanted to know how confident the empire's true decision makers were about the war.
Huo Yuhao knew he needed to give them absolute confidence in victory.
With a slight smile, he responded,
"Based on the information I have, our Sun Moon Empire will win.
And not just win by a small margin we will win in a landslide!"
His voice was firm, filled with unshakable certainty.
"I make this judgment because our Sun Moon Empire is overflowing with talent.
Our soul tool technology is rapidly advancing and will continue breaking new barriers in the future.
Overall, the empire's national strength is surging.
When war breaks out, we will give them a little taste of Sun Moon's power a little Sun Moon shock!"
In truth, thanks to his assistance, the Sun Moon Empire's overall strength was already far superior to what it was in the original timeline.
As time passed, the empire's advantage would only grow, making the defeat of Shrek Academy and the Three Nations inevitable.
The only real threat was Tang San.
Since Tang San treated Douluo Star like his personal private server, he would definitely intervene to stop the Sun Moon Empire's unification.
However, by the time the Three Nations and Shrek Academy crumbled, Tang San would arrive too late to reverse the outcome.
By then, Huo Yuhao's power would have grown immensely, and Tang San's interference would no longer be a concern.
After hearing his words, excitement erupted across the audience.
The dark skinned noble smiled in satisfaction and sat down.
Next, a fair skinned young woman stood up and asked,
"Captain Huo, I've never been to Shrek City, but there have been rumors circulating in the empire.
They say that the citizens of Shrek City have a higher standard of living than the Sun Moon Empire's citizens.
Are these rumors true?"
"False." Huo Yuhao immediately denied it.
"This rumor was clearly fabricated by the Three Nations or Shrek Academy, then deliberately spread in our empire to destabilize public opinion."
His voice grew firmer,
"Of course, since I have never personally visited Shrek City, some might doubt my words.
But among my teammates, one has studied at Shrek Academy as an exchange student and is familiar with their economy and cost of living.
He can confirm that I am telling the truth."
As he finished speaking, he turned toward Xiao Hongchen.
Truthfully, because of the Sun Moon Empire's dominance in soul tool technology, even Shrek Academy and the Three Nations were forced to import Sun Moon soul tools, despite their hostility toward the empire.
This made Sun Moon soul tools extremely lucrative, flooding the empire with wealth.
With abundant resources, the government heavily invested in public welfare, improving civilian life and stimulating the economy.
Sun Moon citizens had more disposable income, leading to greater prosperity.
Xiao Hongchen immediately confirmed,
"Yuhao is absolutely right! I can personally guarantee that the citizens of Shrek City do not enjoy a higher standard of living than our Sun Moon citizens.
To be honest, the cost of living in Shrek City is actually quite high for ordinary people!"
Hearing this, the audience breathed a sigh of relief.
Their trust in Huo Yuhao's words grew even stronger.
