"You can try to seize the bamboo shoots, but that will only escalate the conflict."
Yu Longyue gave a thumbs up.
"You still haven't told me how you managed to achieve the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores while still Soul Saint? Didn't you say you needed my help?"
Huo Yuhao quickly pressed for an answer.
"Oh, that? It just happened naturally, inexplicably, and I succeeded," Yu Longyue said matter-of-factly.
"What do you mean by 'naturally' or 'inexplicably'? Could you explain it in detail? I'd like to learn from you."
"Well... how should I put it, I don't know how this process was completed. Anyway, with my grandfather's help, basically, my vortex formed Soul Core on its own, and then the two Soul Core started rotating, one clockwise and one counterclockwise, and that's how it was completed."
Yu Longyue spread his hands and shrugged.
"You... it's impossible! How could it be so simple?" Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, "When I was doing it, I relied entirely on the help of my Soul Spirit, plus taking a dragon pill to strengthen my body, to barely complete it."
Yu Longyue remained silent for a moment, trying to choose words that wouldn't be too discouraging to Huo Yuhao; "Perhaps, it's because my physical strength has reached the required level, or perhaps my conditions are even better than yours back then."
"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it." Huo Yuhao's face darkened as he turned his head away. "I don't want to compare myself to a freak like you."
Yu Longyue raised his chin slightly. "Let's watch their match."
At this moment, the battle between Tang San and Tang Wulin had reached its climax.
Tang San's hands moved like phantoms, sending countless Hidden Weapon flying out. Some of these Hidden Weapon were like throwing knives, some like fine needles, and some like small axes. They drew deadly trajectories in the air as they attacked Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin responded quickly, and the Blue Silver Grass became even more resilient, forming layers of grass shields in an attempt to withstand the attacks of these Hidden Weapon.
"Jingle bells!"
The Hidden Weapon struck the grass shield with a crisp sound. Some Hidden Weapon were deflected, but many more Hidden Weapon through the shield and continued flying towards Tang Wulin.
"Well, after all, he was once God King, so fighting beyond his level is a piece of cake for him." Yu Longyue shook his head.
"If all else fails, I'll help him out," Huo Yuhao couldn't help but say. "Not for any other reason than to make this bastard suffer. If we miss this opportunity, there won't be another one. I'm going to the Star Luo Continent too."
"Oh? The Spirit Pagoda is willing to let you go?"
"Yeah, they said that completing the academy's mission is the most important thing for me as a student. They want me to graduate from Shrek Academy properly and then be admitted through the proper channels." Huo Yuhao pouted, his eyes lighting up.
Spiritual Detection, shared!
After receiving Huo Yuhao's help, Tang Wulin froze in place for a moment, looked at Huo Yuhao with a strange expression, but still continued to fight stubbornly.
With Huo Yuhao's help, Tang Wulin was like a fish in water. The difference in skill was instantly wiped out, and he directly relied on his cultivation advantage to leave Tang San with nowhere to retreat.
Tang San's face was ashen. In the end, Tang Wulin bound him by the waist with his Blue Silver Grass, pulled him over, and punched him hard in the face, ending the sparring match.
"It's a pity you didn't win, which proves that your value is far inferior to Tang Wulin's." Yu Longyue said Heartless in front of Tang San.
" Tang Wulin is not only better at forging than you, but also stronger. Investing in him would be better than investing in you. Brother Tang San, could you tell me more about what makes you worthy of my investment?"
"I..." Tang San twitched his lips, but finally shut them.
Despite giving it her all, she lost to her own son.
We've lost so much face!
The atmosphere on the arena became somewhat awkward. Tang San's face was somber, and his feelings were complex, a mixture of pride in his son's growth and resentment at his own defeat.
But in the next second, Yu Longyue's words rekindled Tang San's hope.
"Actually, I can give you another chance."
"Aren't you a level 5 blacksmith? Shrek Blacksmith's Association, complete the tasks our company provides, and once you earn 100,000 contribution points, your debt will be waived, and I won't ask for interest either, how about it?" Yu Longyue said with a smile. "During this time, I'll help you with your Soul Spirit, but you'll have to complete more and additional tasks, which we can guarantee."
"If you came by yourself, you probably wouldn't have known when."
"This opportunity... it depends on whether you're willing to seize it. If you really aren't, then there's nothing I can do."
A hint of hesitation flashed in Tang San's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
Not only can it repay debts, but it can also grant you Soul Spirit.
He's currently stuck at level 40 because of a problem with his Soul Spirit.
"I'm willing to accept this opportunity." Tang San took a deep breath and said earnestly, "I will do my best to complete the mission."
"Very good." Yu Longyue nodded, satisfied with Tang San's attitude. "Then go and prepare. I'll have someone contact you to let you know the specifics of the task. Work hard, and you'll all have a bright future."
Tang San bowed to Yu Longyue, then turned and left the arena.
"Goodness, you're trying to squeeze every last drop of value out of him, making him work for you." Huo Yuhao's lips twitched. "He'll have to thank you afterwards."
This is called recycling.
Yu Longyue chuckled softly.
"Since Tang San is already a level five blacksmith and has the ability to make money, why not let him join the Blacksmith's Association? This way, he can have a chance to pay off his debts and also create wealth for me. It's a win-win situation."
"And I'm also responsible for giving him Thousand-Year Soul Spirit, which can help him improve his cultivation. He'll have to thank me afterwards."
"What a win-win situation..." Huo Yuhao silently took a few steps back; he was completely under control.
There was no other way. After adapting to this era, Huo Yuhao deeply understood that in this modern world, without connections, the road is difficult, and talent alone is of no use.
If you have no connections and no money, you might end up so badly that even a passing dog would dare to bark at you.
Even if he and Tang San switched places, and he became Yu Longyue's enemy, if he put himself in Yu Longyue's shoes, Yu Longyue would also have her own intelligence, and would naturally be able to target him effectively.
Moreover, unlike Tang San, he doesn't have parents Plane Master, so no matter how well he hides, he can't possibly escape Yu Longyue's intelligence network. If Yu Longyue makes good use of high technology, once he's caught by Yu Longyue, he'll be dead without a burial place.
Thinking about it this way, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh. The worst-case scenario was that he would only be dragging others down with his remaining divine power.
Moreover, Yu Longyue has plenty of henchmen. He can easily send a bunch of Soul Saint and Soul Douluo over, or even Titled Douluo, to force him and Tang San to self-destruct. He doesn't need to lift a finger, and even divine power can't drag him down.
Fortunately, I'm an ally of Yu Longyue.
Huo Yuhao thought to himself.
Tang Wulin first glanced at Yu Longyue, then looked at Huo Yuhao with a serious expression. " Brother Dong, why did you help me just now?"
"I want to beat him with my own skills, not by cheating; that feels a bit dishonorable."
"This..." Huo Yuhao looked at Yu Longyue, trying to get Yu Longyue to help him out of this predicament.
Unexpectedly, Yu Longyue lazily stretched, yawned, and turned to leave as if she hadn't seen him. "We'll be going to the Star Luo Continent soon, so I'll rest for a bit and then go make Gu Yue's Two-Word Battle Armor."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
The spots for the exchange program to the Star Luo Continent were released quickly.
The ten people are: Yu Longyue, Huo Haodong Gu Yue, Huo Ye Xinglan, Xu Lizhi Xinglan, Xu Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan Tang Wulin Xiaoyan, Yuanen Yehui Yue Zhengyu.
The team leader is Wu Changkong Wu Changkong, and the overall team leader is Cai Yue'er, the Silver Moon Douluo.
Of course, this is only on the surface. In reality, the entire team is secretly protected by a group of Soul Saint or above, and there are also four Limit Douluo guarding them.
Originally, there was no need to mobilize so many four Limit Douluo to join forces. Ten thousand years ago, these would have been enough to destroy the world. But it was only because of protecting Yu Longyue that such a large-scale operation was specially arranged.
"Has everything been explained?"
Yu Longyue stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from Yu Longyang.
"Young Sect Master, everything has been arranged." Yu Longyang said calmly, "I will take over all matters on your behalf until your return."
Yu Longyue turned to look at him for a moment, her voice gentle:
"Brother, don't let me down. I don't want to see a scene where brothers turn against each other."
Yu Longyang looked directly at Yu Longyue, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and bowed slightly.
"Young Sect Master, you are overthinking this. Longyang has absolutely no intention of betraying us. I will do what I should do."
Yu Longyue didn't say anything. In any case, she had already done what she needed to do, made all the preparations, and given all the instructions. She wasn't afraid that her older brother might suddenly turn against her.
So he simply nodded slightly, and the next second, he completely disappeared from the spot.
Yu Longyang lowered his head towards Yu Longyue and remained silent for Jiujiu.
After a long while, he took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and his expression was completely relieved.
Having a great younger brother is nice too.
