Explanation Regarding Entering Shrek Academy
I noticed that many readers had some questions about the two chapters released early this morning, so I'll address them here.
As for why they went to the Shrek Academy in Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King III, Ya Li's main purpose in negotiating was to mitigate the impact of the academy team's defeat and get Huo Yuhao and others to join the academy. Afterwards, through publicity, the matter was downplayed.
Moreover, as mentioned in the text, the spots for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well are precious, and the academy only gives them to the geniuses it has been focusing on cultivating in previous years. If it were suddenly given to outsiders now, the students in the academy would have objections. Therefore, Ya Li must insist that Huo Yuhao and the others enter Shrek Academy, even if it is only in name.
Leng Yaozhu has already made it clear that Gu Yue and Huo Yuhao will only study in the Outer Court for a few years and will not enter the Inner Court to become true members of Shrek.
Furthermore, Huo Yuhao's entry into Shrek won't be due to brainwashing as some people claim, but rather to "rectify the workplace."
In the second, third, and fourth installments of the Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy is a key focus. Most fans of fan fiction probably enjoy reading about plots related to the main storyline and how to address the unresolved issues from the original work.
It's not that I can't write without going to the Shrek Academy, but rather that the original storylines I write might not be liked by everyone.
Returning to Douluo II, compared to Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King, Douluo II has more Shrek storylines, with the early stages almost entirely focused on Shrek.
Huo Yuhao didn't go to the Sun Moon Empire Temple because he was going to Shrek to find his future wife. After all, in the history of later generations, he only saw his love and life-and-death relationship with his wife, and naturally didn't know about being chained up like a dog.
My previous book, "Douluo: Ruyi," also started with the Sun Moon Empire faction, so I wanted to write Shrek storyline for this one as well.
Similarly, Huo Yuhao in Douluo II wouldn't be brainwashed after entering Shrek. Now, he's been raised by Leng Yaozhu since childhood, and his mother is still alive, so he's no longer the Huo Yuhao who lacked love. He won't open his heart to someone just because they're nice to him; he has his own judgment and understanding.
Furthermore, if they don't go to Shrek, how do they write the revenge story against Dai Huabin and the satisfying moments involving Xuan Zi in the early stages?
Some readers also said there was no need to go to Devil Island to be tortured, since Old Huo had Electrolux in his Spirit Sea, so he naturally wouldn't be "tortured" on Devil Island.
Furthermore, there's a follow-up plot point I'll mention in advance: the Divine Realm of Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King disappears, and to become a god, besides seizing the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, the only option is to Self-Created Godhood.
However, Self-Created Godhood is not easy, so my setting is that Old Huo obtained a fragment of the God of Destruction's Super Divine Tool on Devil Island, and when he returned to Douluo II, he was sensed by the God of Destruction. The subsequent plot should be quite interesting.
Finally, Old Huo in this book is not a time traveler, but a native. His worldview needs to be reshaped, and he doesn't have an omniscient perspective, so there are many things he doesn't know. I hope everyone will be understanding and see how things are handled later. Don't worry, I won't be sucking up to Shrek and Tang San.
That's all for now. The two chapters that will be updated after midnight today will mark the return of Huo Jianhua to Douluo II. He's eleven years old and can already write the plot for Douluo II.
