Shrek VS Holy Spirit Cult

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, not expecting that Xu Jiujiu had come with this purpose.

He leaned back on the sofa, his gaze lingering for Xu Jiujiu on Xu Jiujiu's solemn and earnest face, and a thought unconsciously surfaced in his mind.

Shrek Academy, which has always touted itself as "just an academy that doesn't interfere in mainland affairs," has once again found itself involved in the political arena.

Huo Yuhao did not rush to accept or refuse Xu Jiujiu's invitation.

He merely leaned forward slightly, picked up a teacup from the coffee table, took a sip, and then calmly asked, "Does Sister Jiujiu believe that eliminating Xu Tianran will prevent the Sun Moon Empire from launching a war?"

He had foreseen the course of history ten thousand years later and knew clearly that the war would not end after Xu Tianran's death.

Xu Jiujiu had clearly considered this question as well, and she replied seriously, "I can't give you a definite answer to this question. But at least we currently believe that eliminating Xu Tianran can slow down the pace of the war and buy more time for the original Three Douluo Kingdoms to prepare."

Huo Yuhao slowly shook his head, placed the teacup back on the table, and calmly said, "If Sister Jiujiu had a deep understanding of the inner workings of the Sun Moon Empire, she would know that the Hawks hold the vast majority of power in the court."

"The reason we didn't wage war before was simply because the Sun Moon Old Emperor had been suppressing that force."

"If you assassinate Xu Tianran, it will not only fail to stop the war, but will also give the Sun Moon Empire a legitimate excuse to start a war."

After Xu Jiujiu silence, she finally looked up and asked directly, "Yuhao, are you not going to accept the invitation?"

Huo Yuhao met her gaze calmly and said, "Everyone has the right to kill Evil Soul Master. On this point, the Spirit Pagoda and the Star Luo Empire share the same stance."

"But assassinating a crown prince..." He paused for a moment, "The Spirit Pagoda would not get involved in such a matter."

Xu Jiujiu didn't seem surprised by Huo Yuhao's answer, as if she had already expected this outcome.

In fact, from the moment Huo Yuhao ordered the construction of the Sun Moon Spirit Pagoda, she knew that Huo Yuhao probably didn't have much hostility towards the Sun Moon Empire.

But she clearly has no intention of giving up.

"The Sun Moon Empire harbors wolfish ambitions; that's an obvious fact." Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao intently. "Once they launch a war, the entire continent will be drawn in, and even the Spirit Pagoda won't be able to remain unscathed."

She paused for a moment, then her tone became even more serious. "Yuhao, you are Star Luo Empire person, that cannot be denied."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Sister Jiujiu may have misunderstood me. I have never denied that I am Star Luo Empire person, nor do I think there is anything wrong with you being wary of the Sun Moon Empire."

"I just feel that your methods are wrong. Assassinating Xu Tianran is not a good idea in my opinion, and assassinating the Sun Moon Regent Sun Moon Empire in the capital is even less of a good choice."

"That's not solving the problem; it's provoking the entire Sun Moon Empire."

Xu Jiujiu failed to persuade Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao obviously couldn't persuade Xu Jiujiu either.

This brief conversation was destined from the start to be a clash of positions, with neither side able to convince the other.

The matter, which had already been agreed upon among the Three Douluo Kingdoms, would not be stopped because of Huo Yuhao's few words.

He opened his mouth for Xu Jiujiu, as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't continue.

Looking at Huo Yuhao's calm and composed face, she finally asked only one question, "You won't tell the people of the Sun Moon Empire about this, will you?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Of course not."

Xu Jiujiu believed Huo Yuhao's promise. Upon hearing this, she stood up, straightened her clothes, and said, "We will proceed as planned. If the operation fails..."

She paused, her gaze falling on Huo Yuhao's face. "If the Star Luo Team finds you, I hope you can help them."

Huo Yuhao looked into Xu Jiujiu's stubborn and determined gaze, remained silent for Xu Jiujiu, and finally sighed softly.

Instead of directly answering the request, he changed the subject, saying, "The cooperation between the Spirit Pagoda and the Star Luo Empire has always been effective. Many of the Spirit Pagoda's Soul Tool are only supplied to the Star Luo Empire."

After hearing those words for Xu Jiujiu, a genuine smile finally appeared on his face.

She nodded, her tone lighter than before. "That's enough."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.

Huo Yuhao sat on the sofa, silently watching her figure disappear into the room and open the door.

The door closed gently, making a soft clicking sound, and the room fell silent again.

Huo Yuhao got up and walked to the window, looking down at the scenery outside, lost in thought.

After a day of rest, the battle of the All-Continent Youth Soul Master Tournament resumed.

The eight teams in the finals are all ready to go, and the atmosphere on the field is more intense and exciting than in any previous round.

The announcement of the opening match pairings was like a boulder thrown into a lake, creating ripples throughout the stadium and beyond.

The first quarterfinal match was between the Shrek Team and the Holy Spirit Team.

The Holy Spirit Team has already left a very deep impression on everyone in the previous matches. Their methods are ruthless and merciless, and they show no mercy when they strike. After several matches, almost all of their opponents have been seriously injured and forced to withdraw from the competition.

Therefore, many viewers were very resistant to their almost brutal playing style, but they also had to admit that the team's strength was indeed terrifying.

With a lineup of two Soul Saint and five Soul Emperor, this team is practically unrivaled in this competition.

On the Shrek Team's side, the highest combat power is only Soul Emperor, and there are only three of them, while the other four are all Soul King level.

The difference in rosters on paper was obvious to the naked eye, which inevitably stirred up mixed feelings in the audience.

While hoping Shrek Academy could defeat these Evil Soul Master, there was also a nagging feeling that Shrek Academy's path to the championship might truly be over this time.

The competition is divided into two rounds: individual and team. The individual competition is held first, with each side sending out players to take turns. The winner stays on the field to continue the challenge until one side has no one left to fight.

The first Soul Emperor to appear in the Holy Spirit Cult was named Gu Yu, a level 68 Agility Attack System Soul Emperor.

He displayed overwhelming power from the moment he made his move, each strike carrying a strong killing intent, as if they weren't competing, but carrying out some kind of life-or-death mission.

Jiang Nannan, the first Shrek to appear, was also quite strong, but in the end, both sides fought to a draw, resulting in a draw.

When Jiang Nannan was helped off the stage, she had several deep wounds on her body that exposed bone, and her face was as pale as paper.

Sitting in the Preparation Area, Xu Sanshi looked at her severely injured appearance, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his eyes bloodshot, almost spitting fire.

On the other side of the Preparation Area, Huo Yuhao watched this scene and couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.

He didn't know if this was a deliberate arrangement by Shrek Academy. After all, everyone in the academy knew that Xu Sanshi valued Jiang Nannan more than anything else. If Jiang Nannan was seriously injured, Xu Sanshi would definitely go crazy.

Sure enough, when Xu Sanshi stepped onto the arena, his blood boiled with rage, and his Black Tortoise Bloodline awakened directly.

He single-handedly defeated two Soul Emperor from the Holy Spirit Team, achieving the feat of defeating two opponents at once.

A deafening roar erupted from the stands, as if Shrek's glory had been rekindled at that moment.
