The Sun and Moon Go Dark; Only Our Ming Sect Shines—Third Update, Please Keep Reading

Struck by Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Impact and extreme cold, Xu Sanshi had already lost the strength to resist. If Wang Dong's sideways slash had truly come down, Xu Sanshi would have died on the spot.

The teacher serving as referee could naturally judge the situation clearly and immediately delivered the verdict.

"Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong win!"

Hearing the referee's words, Huo Yuhao could not help recalling how, in his previous life, his "good senior brother," Beibei, had colluded with Tang Ya in the spectator stands and asked her to help him cheat.[1]

Although he had ultimately gained two Profound Water Pills because of it,

the meaning then was entirely different from the meaning now.

Huo Yuhao's gaze sharpened. As Mu En's descendant, Beibei could truly be said to have inherited Mu En's "fine traditions."

Of course, Beibei was nothing to him now. As long as Beibei did not provoke him, he could not be bothered with Beibei's little schemes.

"A bet's a bet. Hand over the three Profound Water Pills." Wang Dong grinned and held out her hand, making Xu Sanshi nearly grind his teeth in fury.

Huo Yuhao raised a hand, and a faint chill seemed to gather around his palm. Xu Sanshi shuddered, hurriedly took a porcelain bottle from his Storage Soul Tool, gave it a pained look, then turned his face away and handed it to Wang Dong.

After taking the bottle, Wang Dong made no effort to hide her smugness. "You, a mere Soul Elder, thought you could defeat Yuhao and me? Dream on."

As she spoke, Wang Dong handed the porcelain bottle straight to Huo Yuhao without hesitation.

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, glanced at Wang Dong, and put the bottle away.

For some reason, Wang Dong's face suddenly felt hot beneath his gaze, and she shrank back awkwardly.

Xiao Xiao, sitting in the stands, inexplicably sensed a hint of danger.

Although Xu Sanshi had lost, his gaze remained fixed on Huo Yuhao. Seeing the two about to leave, he suddenly spoke.

"Wait. You're Huo Yuhao, right? Next time, do you dare fight me one-on-one?"

Before Huo Yuhao could answer, Wang Dong spoke first. "Is something wrong with your brain? Yuhao is only a Soul Master right now, while you're a Soul Elder. It was bad enough that the two of us, who are lower-level than you, beat you together, and now you want Yuhao to fight you alone?"

"After the entrance assessment, the wager will still be three Profound Water Pills. Are you taking it or not?" Xu Sanshi ignored Wang Dong and stared intensely at Huo Yuhao.

That look made it seem as though Huo Yuhao were some peerless beauty.

Had Xu Sanshi developed some strange fetish from getting beaten up? Huo Yuhao felt a chill crawl down his spine and waved dismissively. "We'll talk about it then."

"Fine, I'll take that as your agreement!" Xu Sanshi shouted.

The moment those words left his mouth, Huo Yuhao stopped walking.

Endless frost seemed to surge from his body.

Huo Yuhao turned around and fixed Xu Sanshi with a cold stare.

"Has no one ever taught you not to make decisions for other people without permission?"

"I... uh..." Xu Sanshi suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

Huo Yuhao's eyes were simply too terrifying. Looking at that demonic expression, Xu Sanshi felt as though he had trampled upon some conviction of Huo Yuhao's.

This guy was insane!

That thought rapidly formed in Xu Sanshi's mind.

"Anyway, after the entrance assessment, I'll come find you again!"

After tossing out that parting line, Xu Sanshi quickly left the arena. He looked less like he was leaving than fleeing for his life.

Wang Dong, who stood closest to Huo Yuhao, did not even dare breathe deeply. In that instant, she felt that Huo Yuhao was like a demon crawling out of hell to harvest the souls of the living.

Fortunately, after Xu Sanshi had run far away, Huo Yuhao quickly returned to his usual gentle state. The difference in his demeanor before and after was so great that Wang Dong could hardly believe they were the same person.

By the time the two stepped down from the arena, Xiao Xiao was already waiting for them at the entrance.

"Yuhao, you looked so cool just now!" Xiao Xiao said excitedly.

"By the way, how did you get next to Xu Sanshi on the arena just now? That... um... incredibly strange footwork."

Xiao Xiao carefully watched Huo Yuhao's expression. After all, what she was asking about could be considered a secret.

Wang Dong was also extremely curious and quietly pricked up her ears.

Huo Yuhao casually glanced into the distance. The Spirit Eye Martial Soul granted him exceptionally powerful vision.

He had already spotted Tang Ya and Beibei hiding themselves nearby.

So when he had used his improved Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track earlier, the two of them had likely seen it.

The pair clearly did not understand and had come intending to question him.

Perfect. Huo Yuhao's lips curved slightly. "Then I'll give them a surprise."

"What?" Xiao Xiao had not heard him clearly and asked.

"There's no harm in telling you. What I used just now was a technique passed down through my sect," Huo Yuhao said shamelessly.

How could he possibly say it was one of the Tang Sect's ultimate arts?

Besides, he had repaid that debt of gratitude in his previous life. Now, all he wanted was to have some fun playing with the Tang Sect Tang San had left behind.

Hmph, the Tang Sect? Sooner or later, he would personally sweep that sect into the trash heap of history.

When Huo Yuhao mentioned the word sect, confusion flashed through Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao's large eyes.

If Huo Yuhao had a sect, why was his first Soul Ring white? Though the soul skill granted by that white Soul Ring was remarkably powerful.

Noticing their confusion, Huo Yuhao began putting on an act.

"My sect was wiped out by bandits long ago. I am its only survivor."

Mentioning his sect inevitably reminded Huo Yuhao of the Spirit Pagoda he had personally established in his previous life.

Wang Dong softly asked, "Yuhao, what... was your sect called?"

Huo Yuhao emerged from his memories. Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao merely assumed he was reminiscing about his sect and did not think much of it.

"The Ming Sect. The sun and moon go dark; only our Ming Sect shines." Huo Yuhao softly spoke those ten words, leaving both Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao deeply shaken.

The sun and moon go dark; only our Ming Sect shines. The sun and moon naturally did not refer to the Sun Moon Empire, but to the sun and moon in the sky.

To dare proclaim that the sun and moon would go dark, heaven and earth would be overturned, and only the Ming Sect would dwell within supreme radiance—

What kind of peerless grandeur was that?

After Huo Yuhao spoke the Ming Sect's name, his bearing abruptly changed as well. He truly seemed like a man who dared make the sun and moon go dark, his feet planted on the earth and his head beneath the heavens, with only himself as the source of boundless light.

Xiao Xiao could not help saying, "Yuhao, can I join your sect? I... I want to help you too."

Huo Yuhao nodded and "excitedly" grabbed Xiao Xiao's hands. "Of course. Xiao Xiao, Yuhao is deeply grateful that you feel this way. But the Ming Sect has only me left. Do you really want to join?"

With Huo Yuhao holding her hands, Xiao Xiao blushed slightly, yet did not pull away. She merely nodded and murmured in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "Mm..."

Note [1]: In the original text, it was Beibei who first had Tang Ya teach Huo Yuhao to cheat. Beibei was the mastermind, while Tang Ya was an accomplice, rather than Tang Ya being the one who first had Huo Yuhao cheat. I only realized this after rereading Douluo Dalu 2.

I remembered something amusing. Shrek City's military forces were more or less connected to Shrek Academy. Shrek City had no City Lord, and its City Defense Officers were personally appointed by the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy. They were almost all powerful figures who had come from Shrek Academy's Inner Court.

If one were to ask which city on the continent had the densest concentration of Soul Masters, Shrek City would undoubtedly rank first.

Although the Soul Engineers of Bright Capital in the Sun Moon Empire could also all be called Soul Masters, Bright Capital's population was enormous. In terms of proportion, its density of Soul Masters truly could not compare with Shrek City's.

Shrek City's current City Lord was named Shi Xing. He was a tall, middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties. With a square face, thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a sturdy build, merely standing there with his head held high gave people a sense of imposing majesty.

The passage above appeared continuously within the same original chapter. This was truly Schrödinger's City Lord.

However, judging by ordinary logic, it probably meant that Shrek City had no "City Lord" who possessed ownership of the entire city, only City Defense Officers. But because a passage boasting about Shrek City's proportion of Soul Masters was inserted in the middle, the author directly forgot about the "City Defense Officer" matter and switched back to calling him the City Lord.

Douluo Dalu 1 had the same kind of blatant devouring of established settings within two or three paragraphs. Tang Hao told Tang San about his "glorious deeds," saying that after he turned thirty-five, another three years passed, and he was still thirty-five.

As a result, that passage directly became Third Brother-style bizarre mathematical logic: 35 + 3 = 35...
