Sea God Pavilion Meeting, Huo Gua: I Want to Take Tang Wutong Along!

Half an hour passed quickly.

Zhou Huan hadn't had enough time to spend with his girlfriend when he was dragged to the Sea God Pavilion.

This was his first time in the Sea God Pavilion Meeting room. Zhou Huan led Zhang Lexuan in his hand, and as soon as they entered, they saw that many Pavilion Elders had already arrived.

Upon seeing the arrival of Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan, the young couple, Lin Huiqun, Elder Song, and several other Pavilion Elder all nodded kindly to the two.

After all, their strength speaks for itself. Don't think that the Sea God Pavilion is just about seniority; in fact, it's a place that values strength the most.

Without sufficient strength, there will be no real voice.

Therefore, despite being designated as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master's next generation, Huo Gua doesn't actually wield much influence right now.

For example, if Huo Gua's suggestions were detrimental to the interests of the Pavilion Elder, they would almost certainly not be adopted.

The so-called "generational successor" means that his voice will only be heard in the future when he truly becomes powerful, not in the present.

From this perspective, Huo Gua's influence within the Sea God Pavilion is actually less than that of Zhou Huan, an ordinary Sea God Pavilion member.

With the arrival of Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan, one after another, the Pavilion Elder appeared, including several Pavilion Elder Zhou Huan had never seen before.

They were never seen at Shrek, and their names weren't even mentioned in the original story; they were only briefly mentioned.

The Sea God Pavilion Meeting is not large; a conference table that is ten meters long and two meters wide occupies more than half of the entire room.

Xuanzi naturally took the head seat at the conference table.

From Xuanzi's left downwards are Elder Song, Elder Zhuang, Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo, and two other Pavilion Elder Zhou Huan doesn't recognize; from his right downwards are Lin Huiqun, Yan Shaozhe, Cai Mei'er, and three other Pavilion Elder Zhou Huan also doesn't recognize.

There are exactly six people on each side, which is quite balanced.

Zhou Huan could easily tell from the seating arrangement that the forces on the left were those of the Soul Tool Department, while those on the right were those of the Martial Soul Department.

Even if there wasn't a clear-cut division, everyone had their own biases. At least before Huo Gua displayed extraordinary Soul Engineer strength, these Pavilion Elder must have argued a lot about the development of the Soul Tool Department in the past.

Now, especially after Xuan Ziwen demonstrated terrifying combat power with his All-Terrain Self-Propelled Soul Tool Cannon Platform during the Beast Tide, no one dares to underestimate Soul Tool anymore.

So, Zhou Huan pulled Zhang Lexuan and they casually sat down on the lower right side of the conference table.

It's not that I'm taking sides with the Martial Soul Department; it's just that this place is close to the entrance, making it convenient to come and go.

As for what others think, Zhou Huan couldn't be bothered to care.

Oh, I almost forgot, Ma Xiaotao is also in the conference room, but she doesn't have a seat; she's just standing behind her teacher Yan Shaozhe.

It must be because Ma Xiaotao hasn't broken through to the Titled Douluo yet and hasn't become a formal Sea God Pavilion member. Right now, she's just acting as a secretary. No wonder she's the one who came to notify me of the meeting.

But why hasn't the meeting started yet? Are there still people missing?

Just as Zhou Huan was thinking this, two more figures hurriedly walked in.

It was Beibei, and Huo Gua, whom they hadn't seen for months.

As soon as Beibei entered the room and saw everyone's stares, a bead of cold sweat almost broke out on her forehead. She quickly smiled and explained, "Sorry, sorry, I had a lot of things to do at the Tang Sect, so I'm late."

Huo Gua, on the other hand, seemed to have matured quite a bit since I last saw him after more than three months. He simply apologized with a composed air and sat down on the lower left side of the conference table, directly opposite Zhou Huan.

And Beibei naturally sat down next to Huo Gua.

So, Zhou Huan unconsciously glanced at Ma Xiaotao out of the corner of his eye, thinking to himself, "Poor Flame Demon, she's clearly much stronger Beibei, but unfortunately, Bei Bei is the true leader of the Tang Sect, so she gets a seat, while you, little phoenix, can only stand."

Seemingly noticing Zhou Huan's gaze, Ma Xiaotao immediately glared at him in an annoyed manner.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Huan felt a sharp pain in his thigh.

But she couldn't shout it out in this situation, so Zhou Huan could only look at Zhang Lexuan with tears in her eyes and an innocent expression, thinking to herself, "Why are you pinching me? I wasn't peeking at other girls or anything, I was just gloating a little."

However, Zhang Lexuan didn't even look at Zhou Huan, just sat there seriously, without even changing her expression.

Zhou Huan felt somewhat innocent, but men don't usually express their inner turmoil.

Just then, Xuanzi, seated at the head of the table, spoke, "The main reason for this meeting is that after the Mingdu Soul Master Competition, the Sun Moon Empire, which had been quiet for more than half a year, has finally launched a war. We at Shrek should have a response. However, before that, let Yu Hao first give everyone an update on the current situation on the front lines."

Upon hearing this, Huo Gua continued, "Xuan Zi, esteemed Pavilion Elder, for the past few months, I have actually been on the front lines of the Star Luo Empire's army in the Mingdou Mountain Range, and I have participated in the battles..."

Subsequently, Huo Gua gradually introduced the war between the Sun Moon Army and the Star Luo Army, especially emphasizing the Death God's Light emitted by a Soul Tool called the Death God Tower, whose power was simply terrifying.

Furthermore, Huo Gua speculated that the ultimate goal of the Sun Moon Empire's attack on the Mingdou Mountain Range was not the Star Luo Empire, but the Heavenly Soul Empire, because no trace of the Holy Spirit Cult was found on the Mingdou Battlefield.

Moreover, it wouldn't be easy for the Sun Moon Empire to take down the Star Luo Empire in one fell swoop; on the contrary, the Heavenly Soul Empire was much weaker.

Listening to Huo Gua's analysis, Zhou Huan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "That's right, you guessed correctly. The Sun Moon Empire plans to conquer the Heavenly Soul Empire first, then the Dou Ling Empire, and finally the strongest Star Luo Empire."

Unfortunately, Zhou Huan showed no interest in this at all, and even gave a subtle yawn.

Then, unsurprisingly, Zhang Lexuan pinched his thigh again.

So Zhou Huan had no choice but to force himself to appear serious, while his mind was actually wandering.

During the meeting, many Pavilion Elder expressed their opinions, but unfortunately, they were of little use and could not solve the current problems at all; they could only repeat the same old ideas.

Shrek has many Titled Douluo and Super Douluo, but the Imperial War cannot end because of them. The Holy Spirit Cult's high-end combat power is not just for show.

At the end of the meeting, Xuanzi could only say, "The war has only just begun. The Holy Spirit Cult hasn't made a move yet, and we can't send out our entire force. Yu Hao, you need to go back to the Ming Dou front line again to inspect the battle situation. As for the other candidates..."

Xuanzi couldn't help but glance at Zhou Huan.

Zhou Huan immediately snapped out of his daze and said, "Xuan Zi, as you know, I'm about to lead a team out to sea, I don't have time. Besides, in the Imperial War, one more person wouldn't make much difference. If I can really gain something from this voyage, its significance is far greater than participating in the war."

Left with no other option, Zhou Huan could only offer empty promises to Xuan Zi.

After Zhou Huan told Xiao Xiao and the other two about their sea voyage, he also gave Xuanzi a brief report on the Dragon Valley, explaining that it held a great opportunity that needed to be explored.

After all, they were leading a team away to an unknown continental plate; they couldn't just disappear without a trace, without even a report.

Upon hearing about Dragon Valley, Xuanzi didn't hesitate much and quickly agreed, as it could very well be the key to becoming a god, and he couldn't possibly hinder Zhou Huan's progress.

Nothing else is more important than the chance for a Shrek person to become a god.

This was Xuanzi's idea.

However, since the imperial war had already begun, Xuanzi wondered if Zhou Huan could take a stroll to the front lines first before leaving.

But now that Zhou Huan had clearly refused, Xuanzi couldn't say anything more, so he said, "Yu Hao, apart from Xiao Xiao, Wen Xiaoshuai, and Wang Qingya, you can choose anyone else. A large-scale war with the Sun Moon Empire is inevitable sooner or later. With you leading the team, I feel at ease."

Actually, Huo Gua was clearly taken aback when he heard Zhou Huan say he was going to lead a team out to sea. He had only returned yesterday and knew nothing about this.

But now is not the time to ask that. Faced with the question of choosing people to go to the front lines, Huo Gua thought for a moment before answering, "Xuan Zi, of the Shrek Seven Devils, except for the Grandmaster who will stay behind at the Tang Sect, I want to take the rest with me; of course, if Xiao Xiao is going to sea, she is an exception. Also, I want to take Tang Wutong with me!"
