Rumors and the Second Current Affairs Evaluation

"Have you heard? Shrek Academy got blown up!"

"Huh?"

"All the buildings collapsed and have to be rebuilt. The students were sent home early for vacation, too."

"Huh? How come I heard they were testing some kind of Soul Tool?"

"Testing a Soul Tool could blow up their own place? Who are they trying to fool?!"

"If you ask me, the Sun Moon Empire must have attacked Shrek Academy!"

"The fighting was so brutal that they could only claim they were testing a Soul Tool themselves."

"Is the Douluo Continent doomed?"

Shrek Academy was blown up in the morning, and all sorts of rumors had spread by the afternoon.

Because Shrek Academy had offered no explanation to the public, the rumors grew more and more rampant.

Within a few days, they had spread across the entire continent.

Not only were ordinary people letting their imaginations run wild, but even the heads of the great empires and major powers had heads full of mush.

Xu Jiawei, emperor of the Star Luo Empire, had even personally sent people to Shrek Academy. He was also afraid that the Sun Moon Empire had invaded and launched a decapitation strike against the elite Soul Master forces...

The Douluo Continent's three kingdoms thought one way, while the Sun Moon Empire had a different idea.

Could Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Technology really have advanced enough to develop a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell?

The Sun Moon Empire did have a few spies in Shrek City, but its information was nowhere near as timely as that of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

All they knew was that a massive explosion had indeed occurred at Shrek Academy, and that the academy really had been left in ruins.

If it wasn't an enemy invasion, surely a Sea God Pavilion Elder hadn't gone mad and torn the place down himself?

They had developed a Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, then seized the opportunity to announce it to the world, making the Sun Moon Empire wary while bolstering public confidence in the Douluo Three Kingdoms.

Shrek Academy, what a scheme, what a scheme...

This was a matter of great importance. Not only did word reach Jing Hongchen, but even Huo Yun'er, who lived secluded in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, learned of it.

(Tang God King? Tang God King was still puzzled, trying to make sense of the traces of fate he could see again.)

Huo Yun'er, however, no longer had the heart to pay attention to that.

A few days ago, Yuhao's Martial Soul had completed its awakening.

Spirit Eyes!

Huo Yun'er's head was about to explode.

Spirit Eyes, the surname Huo, the story of the Tang Sect, the story of the Sea God...

No matter how much she wanted to deceive herself, with so many coincidences before her, she had no choice but to accept reality.

Her son was the Child of Luck Tang San had raised like a dog!

What was she to do?

Huo Yun'er's eyes were vacant, and her face was haggard.

Little Huo Yuhao blamed himself terribly when he saw his mother like this. It was all his fault for failing to awaken the White Tiger Martial Soul. He had disappointed his mother...

Thankfully, she could still read Shen Yichen's diary every day. Otherwise, Huo Yun'er would probably have been even more desperate.

Today... was the second Current Affairs Review.

She hoped she could learn more from it.

Besides...

Huo Yun'er gently bit her lip. It was time for her to take Yuhao and leave the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Yuhao had failed to awaken the White Tiger Martial Soul, so surely, life for the two of them would only get worse by the day.

For her own sake, and to give Yuhao a better environment to grow up in!

It was time to leave.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the right to propose this week's Current Affairs Review topic. Please decide on a topic as soon as possible.]

Huo Yun'er's vacant eyes lit up in an instant.

The opportunity had come!

Question: What is the course of Huo Yuhao's life?

No, that won't do. It's too obvious.

The diary copy was a good thing. She couldn't let anyone discover she had it.

Then...

[Topic: What is a Child of Luck? Please give an objective evaluation of the Child of Luck, Huo Yuhao.]

Little white-haired dumpling, little bed, diary.jpg.

Shen Yichen frowned. This familiar format... could it be the same person who proposed the last topic?

Whether it was the same person or not, this was a good topic. He could slip quite a bit of his own agenda into a mix of truth and lies.

Pen, come!

[A Child of Luck, as the name suggests, is a darling of heaven and earth.]

[This is both a good thing and a bad thing.]

[Heaven and earth do not favor a living being without reason. When that favor is bestowed upon a living being, that being must also shoulder the mission entrusted to them by heaven and earth.]

[Strictly speaking, I know of only one Child of Luck.]

[That is Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo and God of Emotion, ten thousand years from now. Blessed by luck, he bears the responsibility of saving the plane from the Sea God, resolving the conflict between Soul Beasts and Soul Masters, dealing with a society overrun by Evil Soul Masters, and bringing about the true unification of the Douluo Continent to usher in a glorious age!]

[Of course, aside from him, there are other "artificial" Children of Luck.]

[For example, Tang San, who is currently guided and favored by the Asura God.]

[Twenty thousand years from now, Tang Wulin, the grandson favored by the Plane Master Tang Hao and the Life Core Ah Yin.]

[And twenty thousand years from now, the Evil Soul Master brought forth and favored by Douluo Star's shattered plane consciousness, the Netherworld Emperor Ha Luosa.]

[Save the main course for last. First, let's talk about Tang San, Tang Wulin, and Ha Luosa.]

[Strictly speaking, Tang San and Tang Wulin are the same kind of Child of Luck. Tang San was chosen as the old Asura God's successor, while Tang Wulin is the key to Tang San's Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Plan.]

[As a Child of Luck, Tang San's fate is to answer to the Asura God and inherit his divine position. Tang Wulin, meanwhile, is responsible for Tang San's Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Plan. Whether they want to or not, whether they are willing or not, they will ultimately reach their destined ends.]

[It is the times that are pushing them forward. It is the "black hand behind the scenes" pushing them forward!]

Shen Yichen crossed his little legs, picked at one little foot with one hand, and propped up his cheek with the other.

He didn't know whether what he'd said was right, but that didn't matter at all.

What mattered was whether he could fool everyone else.

As long as he could fool them, he was right!

What if he couldn't fool them and they saw through him?

Shen Yichen smiled, his little eyes narrowing. I have a second plan, and even... a third and a fourth!

Even if all his plans failed, at most he just wouldn't be able to use the diary to have fun this way anymore. It wouldn't affect him personally at all.

[Huo Yuhao and the Netherworld Emperor Ha Luosa are the same kind of Child of Luck.]

[The difference is that in Huo Yuhao's time, although the Douluo Continent's plane consciousness was locked in a struggle with Tang San, it was still intact. It gave Huo Yuhao more support, and the responsibility it placed on him was greater as well.]

[During the Legend of the Dragon King era twenty thousand years later, Tang Hao had beaten the plane consciousness into a delirious, half-dead state. It gave Ha Luosa far less support, and Ha Luosa's task was much simpler.]

[Huo Yuhao still had all sorts of things to do, but Ha Luosa had only one task: flip the table and destroy this world!]

[Douluo Star's consciousness said, "If you won't let me live well, none of us will live at all!"]

[But quite clearly, Tang San's Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Plan was above the plane consciousness. Even though Ha Luosa broke through to Titled Douluo at nineteen and Super Douluo at twenty-five, and came with twelve death knights of the same level, he still ended up as an experience pack under Third Brother's great hand...]
