Chapter 88: Not a Saint
"Pavilion Master Huo has always hated evil as if it were his enemy, but who can say for sure whether war is good or bad? Wouldn't the unification of the continent be better? Unification can ensure peace for thousands of years for future generations."
Xu Tianran lightly clenched his right hand, speaking with a slightly excited expression.
"The Crown Prince's words are interesting. Since when has the unification of the continent been conflated with war? You should know that ten thousand years ago, the Sea God alone could decide the outcome of a battle."
"Will Pavilion Master Huo be the next Sea God? Or will Shrek Academy become the next Spirit Hall?"
"It's hard to say who the Spirit Hall is, but are you really sure the Sea God has already left? You should know that the Sect I joined when I had one ring was the Tang Sect."
Xu Tianran was suddenly shaken; he really didn't know that Huo Yuhao had joined the Tang Sect when he only had one ring.
Seeing Xu Tianran fall into deep thought, Huo Yuhao laughed, "Just a joke, Crown Prince, look how nervous you are."
"Haha, Pavilion Master Huo is indeed humorous. If the Sea God had not yet departed, he would have appeared long ago to lead the continent."
"Naturally, otherwise the Tang Sect wouldn't have declined to this point. In fact, Gods are nothing special. Once the Sun Moon Empire produces an Ultimate, you'll understand."
"Pavilion Master, watch your words. The level of a God is not something I can comment on at will."
Huo Yuhao pushed open the door and looked back at Xu Tianran with a slight smile, "Above the Ultimate, there is still the Demigod. The power of a Demigod is unfathomable."
With a soft click, Xu Tianran watched the closed door, his eyes turning gloomy.
"Go and find out exactly when Huo Yuhao joined the Tang Sect. I want the most precise timing. Also, notify the Hierarch; I want to meet him."
The shadow at Xu Tianran's feet twisted, and a figure separated from it. The pitch-black silhouette quickly disappeared.
"What level is a Demigod exactly? Is he really a Demigod? Was that sentence a warning or something else?"
Xu Tianran's expression grew even more somber, and he ordered the guards to push him back to the hall.
Inside the hall, Fan Yu came to Huo Yuhao's side. "Yuhao, what did Xu Tianran say to you? Do we need to request assistance from the Academy?"
Huo Yuhao looked at the eager Fan Yu with a faint smile. In this kind of setting, a fight wouldn't actually break out; his teacher was overthinking it.
Within such close range, as long as Xu Tianran was there, there would be no traps today.
"Don't worry, Teacher. With me here, nothing unexpected will happen. The current Sun Moon Empire cannot keep us here."
Fan Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, took out a book on spirit tools, found a corner, and continued reading.
What exactly was the source of Xu Tianran's confidence in insisting on starting a war? After Huo Yuhao gave the Douluo Three Kingdoms ninety sets of Battle Armor, the strength of both sides should be roughly equal.
Huo Yuhao initially thought Tang San had cooperated with him, but his surprised emotion just now when the Sea God was mentioned was genuine.
Then what exactly was their trump card? The Love-Questioning Valley probably wasn't enough to completely break the balance. Could it only be the Soul Mark?
Huo Yuhao was somewhat wary of the Rakshasa God's Law. There were many people in the Capital City; it would be better to save them if possible.
Back then, the Rakshasa God wasn't the only one whose God Position was shattered. If the shards of the Rakshasa God's position were still around, what about the shards of the Angel God?
The waters of this Douluo Continent are truly deep; Tang San's arrangements are quite extensive.
The current Huo Yuhao is not Tang San's son-in-Law from the original timeline. Some troubles might have to be handled by himself. O
Having taken another plate of food, Huo Yuhao was wandering around when he saw Xu Tianzhen walking towards him again.
Huo Yuhao turned his head to glance at Xu Tianran and found him nodding in his direction.
The banquet entered the next stage, and the Princess of the Sun Moon Empire invited Huo Yuhao to be her dance partner.
Huo Yuhao, who had never learned any of this, suddenly became alert as old memories began to assault him.
"Elder Mu, there's no need to learn this kind of dance, right? As the Academy's representative, it won't matter even if I don't know how to dance."
"You kid just aren't interested in these things. What if there's an invitation from the royalty? It would be embarrassing if you didn't know how to dance then."
Huo Yuhao, well-acquainted with the plot of the original timeline, was very confident. "Don't worry, Elder Mu, I'll never have the chance to attend a banquet in this lifetime."
"As expected, one shouldn't raise flags casually; they always come true sooner or later."
Xu Tianzhen looked strangely at the muttering Huo Yuhao. What did 'Raising flags' mean? Was it some kind of prophecy?
After Xu Tianzhen pulled Huo Yuhao onto the dance floor, Huo Yuhao didn't panic at all. After all, he was already prepared. "Spiritual Detection, activate."
Huo Yuhao held her hands and used Spiritual Detection to directly replicate the dance steps of a male noble nearby.
Xu Tianzhen followed his lead and cooperated, and it actually looked quite practiced.
However, Xu Tianran, watching from the second-floor balcony, still noticed something strange.
It was one thing for Huo Yuhao's movement direction and steps to be exactly the same as the noble next to him, but he didn't dodge at all even when someone was in front of him.
"This Pavilion Master's mental force is indeed powerful; his replicated movements are actually precise down to the millimeter."
Mirror Hongchen suddenly walked to the Crown Prince's side and commented calmly.
"Hall Master Hongchen, I hope you have been well. I didn't expect you would take the initiative to seek me out."
"The Crown Prince overstates it. These past few days, I have truly felt my strength failing my will. Investigating the whereabouts of the continent's number one person is no easy task."
"Are Hall Master Hongchen's words meant for me, or to be relayed to His Majesty?"
"I am also very concerned about the Crown Prince's safety. It's just that I have been the Hall Master of Mingde Hall for a long time, and besides spirit tools, I really have no energy left to manage other matters."
"Hall Master Hongchen must be joking. You are still in your prime. Furthermore, your grandson and granddaughter are hailed as the number one Geniuses of the Sun Moon Empire; the future of Mingde Hall depends on them."
"Thank you for your high regard, Your Highness. However, Mingde Hall is still up to His Majesty; I am merely managing it temporarily on His Majesty's behalf."
Watching Mirror Hongchen's departing figure, Xu Tianran couldn't help but curse, "Old fox."
At night, inside the Shrek exchange student dormitory, Fan Yu listened to Huo Yuhao's plan with some shock.
"Yuhao, this... wouldn't it be a bit much if we emptied all three of the Sun Moon Empire's armories? This might not be good."
"Teacher Fan Yu, hasn't our Shrek Academy always been like this? Although I've made many reforms in the Academy, I don't plan on being a purely good person."
"Yuhao, you have considered that you might bear a bad reputation? Public opinion is a fearful thing."
"If the goal is good, sometimes using any means necessary is acceptable. As long as I don't cross the red line, people can judge me however they like; I don't care."
Fan Yu sighed deeply and finally stopped speaking. If this could delay the outbreak of war, it might not be a bad idea.
"Teacher, my actions are not just for the sake of the overall situation; these resources are equally important to me."
O
"When successful, one should help the whole world; when in poverty, one should focus on their own moral cultivation. In today's precarious environment, a Saint cannot just look after themselves."
