Return to the Federation

Huo Yuhao quickly suppressed his joy and fell into thought.

Given the faith that Shrek's teachers and students have in Shrek, there must be many die-hards. Tolerating them for Ten Thousand Years, given the Federation's attitude towards the Shrek Academy, is the Limit of what the Federation can do: take some and punish others.

A major battle is inevitable once we return, so I'll use this time to break through to the Soul Saint realm.

At this moment, Gu Yuena entered the room, her tone tinged with joy, "Yuhao, the Soul Suppressing Douluo told me that news has come from the Federation, asking us to prepare to return ahead of schedule."

"Is that so? It seems the Eternal Heaven Kingdom has been stolen, and the Federation no longer wants to wait."

Gu Yuena was shocked when she heard Huo Yuhao's murmur, "The Eternal Heaven Kingdom has been stolen?!"

Seeing Huo Yuhao calmly reply with an "Mm," Gu Yuena was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and smiled helplessly, "Yuhao, you really scared me just now. I thought the Eternal Heaven Kingdom had really been stolen—is it in your hands now?"

"It's good that you know what's going on."

Huo Yuhao smiled and asked, "Has the Dragon Valley space stabilized?"

"Not yet, it will take some time. However, I have already severed all spatial passages between Dragon Valley and the outside world."

Unless Dragon Valley itself exhibits any further unusual activity, no one but us can find it again.

Gu Yuena looked confident and assured.

Dragon Valley had not appeared in the world for Hundred Thousand Years, yet it appeared on the Douluo Continent precisely at the time of her birth. Gu Yuena had reason to be certain that Dragon Valley had sensed her presence and that's why it appeared.

After she and Yuhao went to Dragon Valley and took away the Heart of the Dragon God, it became very difficult for it to reappear in the world unless there was something related to the Dragon God as a catalyst.

"By the way, speaking of Dragon Valley..."

Gu Yuena pondered for a moment, then waved her hand to create a barrier around herself, and took out a Seven Colors crystal from her Spiritual Sea — the Heart of the Dragon God!

"Yuhao, would you like to try to understand its power with me?"

Seeing the person in front of her slightly stunned, Gu Yuena whispered, "The Heart of the Dragon God contains the essence of the Divine Power. By activating it, I can also glimpse the Laws within, which will greatly benefit my future cultivation path."

And the direction you're heading now requires the guidance of the Dragon God Power, doesn't it?"

Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on the Heart of the Dragon God. Inside the Seven Colors crystal, it seemed as if stars were flowing and blood was slowly pulsating.

"Okay," he replied curtly, without being polite with the girl.

Comprehending the power within the Heart of the Dragon God will indeed be of great help to his path. Before advancing to the Throne of Seal and breaking through to the Soul Saint realm, the more he accumulates, the greater his gains will be.

With a light tap of her fingertip, Gu Yuena caused the Heart of the Dragon God to float between the two of them and slowly rotate.

A soft yet magnificent Seven Colors halo rippled outwards, illuminating the entire room shrouded in the barrier like a dream. Gu Yuena closed her eyes, her long silver eyelashes trembling slightly, as if resonating with the Heart of the Dragon God in her hand.

Huo Yuhao also calmed his mind, his spiritual perception cautiously probing the Seven Colors light like the finest tendrils.

At first, he felt a vast and boundless majesty. Even if it wasn't the Dragon God himself, but only a portion of his essence crystallized, its power was enough to make any living being tremble. But then, under this majesty, he "saw" much more.

It wasn't a simple accumulation of power, but rather a series of awe-inspiring scenes of Laws: the rise and shaping of mountains and rivers, the birth and interweaving of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, and the emergence of Life from nothingness—

These Laws Entanglement and together form the cornerstone of the Dragon God's power as the strongest God King. Among them, the clearest and most resonant with Huo Yuhao himself is the thread about how "spirit" and "elements" perfectly blend, thereby giving rise to and controlling all things.

In his reverie, Huo Yuhao entered a wondrous state. His Spirit Eyes Martial Soul activated involuntarily, and deep within his eyes, the Laws runes flowing within the Seven Colors halo were reflected.

The Snow Empress appeared out of nowhere, protecting the two of them.

Gu Yuena caught a glimpse of this scene, expanded the barrier to envelop her as well, and further activated the Laws of ice.

Snow Empress smiled gently and accepted the other party's kindness.

Time slips away quietly in quiet contemplation.

Two days later, the Soul Tool Airplane from the Federation landed on the outskirts of Star Luo City amidst the astonished and suspicious gazes of the Star Luo Empire public.

The Star Luo Federation students, who had just received their Star Luo Tournament rewards from the Star Luo Federation that morning, were also somewhat puzzled.

What exactly happened? Why were they made to leave Star Luo Empire ahead of schedule?

Their six-month exchange with the Star Luo Empire has only lasted for less than a month.

On the Shrek Academy student side, Ye Xinglan suddenly remembered the inexplicable communication from Teacher Shen Yi earlier, and an ominous premonition rose in her heart.

"Sister Xinglan, do you think something serious has happened?"

Xu Lizhi leaned closer to her and asked in a low voice, his round face full of worry.

Ye Xinglan shook her head gently and said in a low voice, "I don't know. But Teacher Shen Yi would never say that without reason. We'll find out when we get back. Be careful."

As one of the Team Leader, the Passionate Douluo scanned his fellow trainees, his lips twitching slightly, but ultimately he didn't reveal the truth. He simply said in a deep voice, "Board. All issues will be resolved upon returning to the Federation. Remain vigilant and obey discipline during the journey."

It's best to keep these children out of those situations.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and boarded the massive soul-guided transport aircraft one by one with the delegation members.

However, without anyone noticing, it seemed that there were more people in the delegation.

A group of upright members of the Dawn Faction who had reached an agreement with Huo Yuhao boarded the Soul Tool Airplane together amidst the puzzled gazes of others.

Beside the temporary airport, the officials and nobles from the Star Luo Empire who had come to see them off watched the Federation's Soul Tool Airplane transform into a black dot in the sky, their expressions varied.

Some were solemn, some were confused, but most were relieved.

The Douluo Federation delegation's display of strength among the younger generation during this period put immense pressure on them, so it's good that they've returned.

Dai Tianling looked at the Divine Realm Douluo who had only just appeared beside her and asked indifferently, "What's the situation over there?"

They succeeded.

97

These five short words instantly made Dai Tianling's expression turn serious.

"Regardless, Federation is not necessarily a bad thing for our country."

After a long silence, Dai Tianling took a deep breath and said to the guards beside him, "Pass down the order to strengthen border patrols, but strictly prohibit any provocative actions. Wait for the right opportunity."

"Yes!"

Silently observing Dai Tianling's actions, the Divine Realm Douluo suddenly turned his gaze to a burly man at the back of the farewell procession.

Why did you come here?

"I just have some regrets."

Watching the departing Soul Tool Airplane, Long Yue said calmly, "I didn't get to fight the most outstanding Exceptional Talents in Douluo."

With his current Soul Saint level cultivation, there are only two people in the Douluo Federation delegation who would interest him, but neither of them participated. And he himself is unable to compete due to his own issues, which is truly a pity.

The Divine Realm Douluo's gaze was complex.

If it weren't for the Holy Spirit Cult causing problems with Long Yue's aura, he would have had a chance to make an appearance and save face for the Star Luo Empire.

but----

You'd better not even think about challenging them.

The Divine Realm Douluo withdrew his gaze. "Those two are monsters even more terrifying than you. They are already capable of fighting against Super Douluo."

Long Yue was taken aback, his brows furrowing.

Those two—are they Soul Emperor?

How could he possibly fight against Super Douluo?!

Long Yue felt there was something wrong with his understanding and found it hard to accept, so he decided to change the subject first, "Is it really okay for the Star Luo Empire to continue down this path, teacher?"

After a long silence, the Divine Realm Douluo finally said, "There is no answer to this question, at least I don't have one—"

A day and a half later, on the Soul Tool Airplane, Huo Yuhao looked at the scenery of Mingdu appearing outside the window, and seemed to smell the fragrance carried on the wind...

The scent was a mixture of soul-guided metal, Soul Power, and a faint, almost imperceptible tension.
