The Women: Huo Yuhao Has Been Taken Apart!

What brotherhood, what tale of the Seven Monsters?

Peel back that glamorous exterior, and you'll find nothing but scheming inside.

He gave them the Immortal Herb, he did them a favor, he boosted their strength, and he even paved the way for their Godhood.

After these six people ascend to immortality, how could they not follow his lead without question?

It's like Tang San suddenly gained six more loyal subordinates in the Divine Realm.

"Mu En and the others constantly talk about the camaraderie of the First-Generation Seven Monsters, regarding it as the spiritual totem of Shrek."

Wang Dong'er's lips curled into a mocking smile, "If they knew that the myth they worshipped was essentially a carefully woven web by Tang San, I wonder what their expressions would be."

She suddenly thought of Huo Yuhao.

The First-Generation Seven Monsters at least received tangible benefits from Tang San: Immortal Herb, inheritances, and Godhood —they got everything they wanted.

But what about Huo Yuhao?

What did his companions, his academy, ever receive from him?

There was nothing there.

The Far North.

Ice Empress was delighted to hear this.

"Interesting, very interesting."

She clapped her hands, her icy green eyes gleaming with schadenfreude. "I used to think the First-Generation Seven Monsters were so amazing, but it turns out most of them were just built up by Immortal Herb."

Without Tang San, those six would just be ordinary geniuses, no different from other Titled Douluo on the continent.

The Snow Empress slowly said, "The Immortal Herb are indeed key. Each immortal herb from the Icefire Yin Yang Well has the power to defy fate. Ordinary people might not even see one in their entire lives, yet he alone gave away six."

So you say he's generous?

Ice Empress curled his lips. "Generous is generous, but generosity must have a purpose. Six Immortal Herb in exchange for six lifelong loyal followers, and six allies in the Divine Realm, this deal is never a loss."

If he were truly selfless, why didn't he share the Immortal Herb with more people? Why did he specifically give it to those close to him?

It's all because those people can be used by him.

Snow Empress did not refute it; it was indeed the case.

Tang San's generosity was always reserved for his "own people".

And these "insiders" did indeed become his most solid team in the end.

Star Dou Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena's emotions remained completely unchanged.

She was no stranger to this tactic.

The same principle applies to how the Beast King gathers his subordinates within Soul Beast clan.

They give you benefits, resources, and opportunities to make you feel indebted and stronger, so you'll willingly follow them.

However, Tang San's method was more advanced and more covert.

"Even human Deity are not immune to this."

She said calmly, "He just hid it well, wrapping it in a layer of affection. Everyone only sees his good points, but not his true intentions."

Only six immortal Immortal Herb.

For Tang San, who possesses the Icefire Yin Yang Well, it's nothing; it's just a matter of spending some more time cultivating the next batch of Immortal Herb.

In return, they gained six Deity- like followers, a reputation that would last for millennia, and Shrek's eternal loyalty.

He made a fortune from this deal.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy, Female Dormitory.

Ju Zi gently rubbed her temples.

She suddenly felt a little tired.

These days, my diary is filled with these kinds of things: Tang San's scheming, Huo Yuhao's lack of common sense, and Shrek's foolishness.

But every single one of them hit the nail on the head, leaving no room for rebuttal.

"Even becoming a god can be used as a bargaining chip..."

Ju Zi sighed softly, gazing absently at the moonlight outside the window. "No wonder he was able to reach such a high position."

Ruthless enough, precise enough, every step calculated to the extreme.

In comparison, Huo Yuhao's thoughts were really too shallow.

It's so shallow it's disappointing.

Speaking of this, we have to bring up Huo Yuhao again for comparison.

The First-Generation Seven Monsters ascended to heaven, leaving Shrek Academy with countless riches.

Tang San gave his companions Immortal Herb and inheritances, leading them all to become gods.

Even if all of this was calculated, at least the benefits genuinely came to Shrek and to the members of the group.

But what about Huo Yuhao?

What did he leave behind for Shrek when he ascended to heaven?

Reputation? Yes, he has it. After all, he's the Ultimate Douluo and the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, so it certainly sounds impressive.

Can fame feed you? Can it be used as a resource for cultivation? Can it be studied as a classic text?

He left nothing behind except an empty title.

Cultivation techniques? Has he compiled his cultivation insights from his three Martial Soul — the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, and the Holy Necromancer— and left behind any systematic texts? No.

Of all his unique skills— Mental Shock, Soul Shock, and the Hao Dong's Three Ultimates —which one was systematically passed down to the academy?

There wasn't a single one.

Resources? He must have plenty of good stuff, right? The rare and precious materials from the Far North given to him by the Ice Empress Snow Empress, the various inheritances of the Holy Necromancer, and the rare materials he's collected over the years—how much of that has he left for the academy?

Almost none.

Connections? Did he painstakingly cultivate relationships with the Sun Moon Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the various sects? Did he pave the way for Shrek?

No, he was preoccupied with Tang Wutong and had no time to think about anything else.

Inheritance? The Spirit Pagoda is one option, but as mentioned before, it's a mess.

He simply packed his bags and left, leaving behind a massive, unsupervised entity that ultimately became a scourge on the continent. Even Shrek itself Spirit Pagoda.

This isn't an inheritance; it's a debt.

Let's talk about his companions.

The first Tang San gave his companions Immortal Herb, leading them all to become gods.

Where is Huo Yuhao?

His companions, Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan, He Caitou, Xiao Xiao, his master Fan Yu, and his fellow disciples.

What has he given to others?

Immortal Herb? He's seen plenty of good things before; the Far North full of rare and precious herbs, surely it wouldn't be difficult for him to get them? But was he even thinking of sharing them with his companions?

No.

Passing on his skills? Does he have any intention of teaching others? Helping his partners break through their limitations?

No.

Becoming a god? He ascended to godhood himself, but did he ever think of helping those around him?

I never even considered it.

The original Tang San ascended to heaven with six companions, becoming seven gods.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, just packed his bags and left, leaving his entire family to fend for themselves in the mortal realm.

What happened to Bei Bei afterward? At best, he became Titled Douluo; he never even reached the threshold of godhood in his entire life.

Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, a married couple, were talented, but without opportunities or help, they ended up as ordinary Titled Douluo.

He Caitou and Xiao Xiao reached their bottleneck much earlier.

Which of these people wasn't a partner who had faced life and death alongside him?

But what about him?

He only had eyes for Tang Wutong.

Brotherhood, sect, academy—all come after love.

Tang San had a plan when he gave his companions the Immortal Herb, but at least they actually gave them to them and took everyone up with them.

Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, didn't even bother to scheme; he simply ignored it.

Saying that he is smaller than me is a compliment.

Besides his romantic love, who else could he possibly have in his heart?

What can it hold?
