God of Spirit Beasts and the Great War Sweeping the World

In this class, Wang Yan was speaking incessantly on the podium. Since it was the first lesson for the freshmen, he provided a detailed explanation of the basic knowledge regarding the classification of martial souls on the Douluo Continent, the cultivation of Soul Power, and more.

Huo Yuhao listened with rapt attention in the classroom. It had to be said that Wang Yan's theoretical knowledge was truly profound, and his research into various martial souls was extremely deep; the things he discussed provided Huo Yuhao with a great deal of inspiration.

It also significantly broadened his horizons.

When the lesson was halfway through, Wang Yan suddenly said, "Students, I believe you all know that ever since the Sun Moon Continent collided with the Douluo Continent over four thousand years ago, the continent has undergone earth-shaking changes. The root of these changes is the Soul Tool."

"Soul Masters from ten thousand years ago would never have believed that a low-level Food-type Soul Master could, ten thousand years later, rely on the power of a Soul Tool to defeat a powerful Assault-type Battle Soul Master. They would believe even less that there is so much miraculous soul-tool technology on the continent today, which has even changed the lives of ordinary people."

"Therefore, I would like to ask you all to ponder a question: where exactly does the future of the Douluo Continent lie? Will the future be dominated by Soul Masters, or will it be dominated by Soul Tools?"

Upon hearing this, a petite female student immediately raised both her hands.

After Wang Yan nodded to signal her, the female student stood up: "Teacher, I believe that the future Douluo Continent will definitely still be a world dominated by Soul Masters. Because things like Soul Tools are, after all, external objects and not the Soul Master's own strength. What is most important for a Soul Master is still the cultivation of their own martial soul."

"Just like that war four thousand years ago, it ultimately ended with our Shrek Academy's principal standing tall and issuing a call, gathering dozens of experts at the Titled Douluo level to crush the Sun Moon Empire in one fell swoop. This proves that the Douluo Continent is, in the end, still the domain of Soul Masters!"

Wang Yan smiled noncommittally after hearing this answer.

"Do any other students have a different answer?"

The others in the class shook their heads one after another. Clearly, as students of the Shrek Academy Martial Soul Department, most of them agreed with this answer.

These students of the Martial Soul Department even held a natural sense of disdain for Soul Tools.

Seeing this, Wang Yan felt a little disappointed in his heart and let out an imperceptible sigh.

He knew deeply that Shrek Academy had already fallen too far behind the Sun Moon Empire in terms of Soul Tools.

If the new generation of students continued to uphold such backward thinking, there would come a day when they would surely suffer a great loss.

This was something he worried about deeply in his heart.

But then, his gaze swept to a corner of the classroom, and he saw Huo Yuhao frowning slightly, appearing as if he did not agree with this answer.

Wang Yan was very interested in Huo Yuhao. Although he hadn't shown any special treatment toward him on the surface just now, he still found himself paying extra attention to him from time to time.

Perhaps this miraculous youth had some unique insights?

Wang Yan's mind stirred, and he then said, "Student Yuhao, why don't you share your opinion as well?"

Huo Yuhao had not originally intended to answer this question.

The future of the Douluo Continent? Huo Yuhao had read the Douluo series from 1 to 4; he knew better than anyone what the future of this world would be like.

He knew very well in his heart that the current military strength of the Sun Moon Empire had long since crushed the Douluo Three Kingdoms by an unknown magnitude.

Once war broke out, the Douluo Three Kingdoms would only face the fate of being annexed; there was no other possibility.

In the original work, if it hadn't been for the shameless Tang God King repeatedly interfering in the lower realm, coupled with the brainwashed Huo Yuhao forcibly intervening, Shrek and the Douluo Three Kingdoms combined would not have been enough to fight the Sun Moon Empire. (This is under the premise that the Holy Spirit Cult is also counted on the Sun Moon side.)

But those were stories built on the premise that the previous Huo Yuhao had completely become a loyal defender of the Tang God King, the Tang Sect, and Shrek.

But the current Huo Yuhao would no longer be manipulated by anyone. The butterfly had flapped its wings; who could say for sure what the future direction of this world would be?

However, since Wang Yan had asked him directly, Huo Yuhao did not want to remain silent.

He would reveal a slight spoiler and see how Shrek Academy would react.

Huo Yuhao had some thoughts of watching the fun.

He stood up and said indifferently, "It's very simple. I dare to assert that the future of this world will be dominated neither by Soul Masters nor by Soul Tools, but by the joint dominance of Soul Masters, Soul Tools, and Spirit Beasts. If it is not this outcome, the Douluo Continent will inevitably be destroyed; there is no other possibility."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in Freshman Class 3 widened their eyes and turned their heads one after another, looking at Huo Yuhao in disbelief.

Even Wang Yan revealed a thoughtful expression.

Spirit Beasts? Even he had overlooked the faction of Spirit Beasts just now.

It was only after Huo Yuhao's reminder that he suddenly remembered the existence of the Spirit Beast clan.

Those were the overlords of the Douluo Continent for millions of years before humans; how could he have forgotten them?

But after a moment of reflection, Wang Yan's heart was filled with deep skepticism.

Could the Spirit Beast clan, as things stood now, really pose a threat to human Soul Masters?

Even if there were the so-called Ten Great Beast Kings, the current number of powerful human Soul Masters was simply not something the Spirit Beasts could contend with.

Perhaps because of this.

This knowledgeable Outer Court instructor was now also waiting quietly with an interested attitude for Huo Yuhao to continue.

Huo Yuhao continued, "The student just now said that four thousand years ago, it was the Soul Masters who defeated the Soul Engineers, and thus the continent gained peace. That is correct."

"But she forgot to view the problem with a developmental perspective. Although Soul Tools lost four thousand years ago, they have now undergone four thousand years of development and have long since been reborn. I am afraid that even a Limit Douluo among Soul Masters would not dare to say they could withstand the attack of a Level 10 Soul Tool."

"From this point of view, in a war between the Sun Moon Empire and the Douluo Three Kingdoms, the Douluo Three Kingdoms would collapse without any suspense."

When Huo Yuhao said this, Ouyang Junyi, who was sitting in front of him, couldn't help but speak up: "Level 10 Soul Tool? The Sun Moon Empire shouldn't have such a thing; they don't even know if they have Level 9 Soul Tools."

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "Would anyone be foolish enough to lay their trump cards out on the table? For strategic weapons like Level 9 or Level 10 Soul Tools, if I were the ruler of the Sun Moon Empire, I would either never use them, or once they were deployed, it would be like a thunderclap, striking the target in one blow."

"By that time, it will surely be the moment for the unification of the Douluo Continent!"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Junyi, like most people in the class, showed a look of skepticism and refused to believe it.

Most of the students at Shrek Academy were children of nobles from the three great empires of the Douluo Continent. Their family interests were bound together with the interests of their countries, so they naturally did not want their own countries to fall.

"But if that's the case, Soul Tools should be dominating the world. Why would our Douluo Continent face destruction instead? Even if there are Beast Kings among the spirit beasts, they shouldn't be able to contend with human spirit masters, right?"

Chen Junfeng had spotted the crux of the matter.

He had asked the very question Wang Yan wanted to pose.

Huo Yuhao did not answer immediately this time. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke with measured words: "The Beast Kings are not fools. The conflict between spirit masters and spirit beasts is a racial one. In a war of survival where it is either you die or I die, they have remained patient and restrained, allowing their own kind to dwindle day by day, even to the point of extinction."

"Isn't this situation strange? At the rate spirit masters are developing on the Douluo Continent, spirit beasts will eventually go extinct. The hatred between those Beast Kings and humanity is irreconcilable."

"Yet in recent years, as the human world has developed, the spirit beasts have retreated without end. This isn't because they are afraid; it's because they are waiting."

"They are waiting for the true supreme existence of their kind to awaken or return. It is highly likely to be a spirit beast that has surpassed the Limit Douluo and reached the god-level. Once the Douluo Continent is unified, the spirit beasts will know their end has arrived, and that will be the beginning of the racial war."

"When that time comes, and that spirit beast truly beyond the god-level appears, no one on the Douluo Continent will be able to stop it. Every spirit master and spirit beast in the world will be plunged into a massive war that sweeps across the globe!"

"In the end, whether it is Shrek or the Evil Spirit Masters, the Douluo Three Kingdoms or the Sun Moon Empire, spirit masters or spirit beasts—everything will fall into a deathly silence. No one will be spared."

Huo Yuhao spat out these astonishing words one after another.

As Huo Yuhao spoke, a desolate and silent world appeared in the minds of everyone present, where no life existed.

It was dark, cold, and profoundly lonely.

Everyone couldn't help but shiver.

Fine beads of sweat broke out on Wang Yan's forehead.

Between the lines of Huo Yuhao's words, the implication was clear.

His hypothesis was that a God of Spirit Beasts existed on the Douluo Continent!

The reason the spirit beasts had remained patient and restrained in recent years was all to wait for this God of Spirit Beasts to awaken or return!

The students were fine; they perhaps only viewed Huo Yuhao's perspective as an alarmist story, something to laugh off and move on from.

But he was different. Having read records within Shrek concerning the deepest parts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Wang Yan was different.

His intuition told him that Huo Yuhao's speculation was very likely correct!

The war between the Sun Moon Empire and the Douluo Three Kingdoms, the war between spirit masters and spirit beasts.

It would eventually evolve into a massive war that would sweep up every living soul on the Douluo Continent!

The sharp-minded Wang Yan could already see the terrifying future Huo Yuhao had described.

It was even possible that this future was only a few short years away!

Wang Yan's body couldn't help but tremble, his back soaked through with cold sweat.

Yet at the same time, he seemed to have thought of something else. He took a deep look at Huo Yuhao, his heart filled with shock.

How could this youth analyze the situation of the various factions on the Douluo Continent with such precision?

Huo Yuhao—what exactly was his background?
