"That's right!"
Kong Deming replied simply, showing no inclination to lie to a junior.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ya's eyes lit up, and she quickly said to Huo Yuhao, " Xiao Yuhao, you are from the Star Luo Empire, you can't go to the Sun Moon Empire with them."
Huo Yuhao had already learned about Kong Deming's strength from Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, so he wasn't too surprised.
To his surprise, this powerful figure at the Titled Douluo level actually wanted to take him as his disciple.
As for the other party's identity as the Sun Moon Empire, to be honest, Huo Yuhao did not resist it after learning about it, and was even somewhat tempted.
His father, White Tiger Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, was often away from home because he had to lead troops to defend against the Sun Moon Empire.
If he joins the Sun Moon Empire, wouldn't he be able to encounter Dai Hao on the battlefield in the future, which would also be an opportunity for revenge?
As for any talk of national righteousness, Huo Yuhao has lived here for eleven years, yet he has not received any benefits from the country whatsoever.
His mother was murdered, and he himself struggled to survive.
Kong Xuan snorted coldly, "So what if it's the Sun Moon Empire? We don't have any sectarian prejudices. Grandpa values this little brother's talent and will definitely nurture him carefully. In the future, he will become Level 9 Soul Engineer."
Tang Ya retorted without backing down, "Four thousand years ago, the continents clashed, Sun Moon Empire shamelessly invaded. They are still enemies of the Douluo Three Kingdoms today. Joining the Sun Moon Empire would be treason!"
Her words made Huo Yuhao's expression darken. His enemies were not only the wife of the White Tiger Duke, but also the White Tiger Duke himself.
White Tiger Duke was a general who opposed the Sun Moon Empire. Even if I didn't join the Sun Moon Empire, wouldn't assassinating him later be considered disloyalty to my country?
He only wanted revenge, but he was inexplicably labeled a traitor.
Huo Yuhao frowned; his goodwill towards Tang Ya was gradually fading.
Kong Xuan observed all of this, feeling somewhat reassured. He looked at Tang Ya disdainfully and said, "Who can say for sure what happened four thousand years ago?"
When two unfamiliar continents collide, their mutual attacks are merely for self-preservation; how can they distinguish right from wrong?
"Furthermore, the Sun Moon Empire and the original Douluo Three Kingdoms are currently in a period of peace. To go to the Sun Moon Empire to study would be considered treason, which is quite a serious accusation."
"You..."
Tang Ya was rendered speechless by the rebuttal, and although she wanted to say something more, she couldn't find the words.
Bei Bei walked to Tang Ya's side and patted her back to reassure her.
Then he looked at Huo Yuhao and said, " Xiao Yuhao, do you want to study at the Shrek Academy?"
Huo Yuhao looked up at this gentle and refined older brother. Shrek Academy was the strongest academy on the continent. Could he really study there?
Seeing the longing in Huo Yuhao's eyes, Bei Bei smiled and said, " The Tang Sect has one recommendation spot. As long as you join the Tang Sect, you can smoothly enter Shrek Academy to study."
Huo Yuhao was very interested in the Shrek Academy.
But becoming a disciple of Titled Douluo is also very attractive!
Huo Yuhao never imagined that he, with his ordinary talent, would one day be so sought after.
Instead of giving his own answer, he sought the opinion of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his Sea of Consciousness.
" Brother Sky Dream, what should I choose now?"
"If you ask me, Shrek Academy is definitely a good place to go."
Even with his exceptional hearing, Kong Xuan couldn't possibly hear those words; otherwise, he would have exclaimed again that the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had also been influenced by the God King Tang.
However, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm then added, "Now that these two from the Sun Moon Empire know our secret, I'm afraid even if you want to go to Shrek, you won't be able to."
Although Kong Xuan's appearance did not Jieyin Tang San to take action.
But the current tug-of-war made him feel like he was fighting against the hidden tricks left behind by Tang San.
So he looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Young man, you might be able to enter Shrek Academy with a recommendation from the Tang Sect, but I've heard that there are annual assessments after entering Shrek Academy."
"You've just broken through to become One-Ring Soul Master. With your aptitude, you might not be able to pass the assessment. If you get kicked out of Shrek Academy, there's no going back."
Bei Bei and Tang Ya exchanged a glance, surprised that Kong Xuan, a member of the Sun Moon Empire, was so knowledgeable about the internal competition mechanism of Shrek.
Kong Xuan wasn't finished speaking; he still had his trump card up his sleeve.
"And I heard that Shrek has a teacher named Zhou Yi, who deliberately eliminates students who aren't naturally gifted in order to improve the college entrance examination pass rate."
"It seems she was punished by having to mentor this year's freshmen because she did this in the upperclassmen."
"If you Shrek Academy and happen to become a student in her class, you'll be in even greater trouble."
Huo Yuhao was naturally unaware of these details, but when she looked at Bei Bei and Tang Ya, their expressions said it all; Kong Xuan wasn't just making things up.
Bei Bei and Tang Ya also looked grim, never expecting that Zhou Yi's reputation had spread to the Sun Moon Empire.
If Zhou Yi didn't have a good husband, she wouldn't dare to be so reckless; she's already ruined the school's reputation.
Tang Ya tugged at Bei Bei's sleeve again, her face pleading.
Bei Bei turned her head and met Tang Ya's expression, and her heart softened again.
"Why!"
Bei Bei sighed, then looked at Huo Yuhao seriously and said, " Xiao Yuhao, I can guarantee that you can continue studying at the Shrek Academy."
As he spoke, he glanced at Kong Deming beside him and added, "Furthermore, I can find Titled Douluo at the Shrek Academy to guide your cultivation."
For his girlfriend, Bei Bei is now going all out.
Given his status, he's capable of putting aside some of his pride.
"Kid, you've got quite the big mouth. If I didn't know better, I'd think Shrek Academy belonged to your family."
Kong Deming, who had been watching the whole thing, couldn't help but chuckle.
Now he genuinely wants to take Huo Yuhao, the First Soul Ring, as his judgment of his precious grandson is beyond question.
He's determined to take Huo Yuhao, this chosen one!
Although Bei Bei was angry at Kong Deming's sarcasm, she dared not show it.
However, the other party's attitude made him think deeply.
Huo Yuhao has only obtained his First Soul Ring at his current age, which doesn't seem like he has exceptional talent.
Bei Bei really couldn't understand why this Titled Douluo insisted on taking him as a disciple.
Could it be that Huo Yuhao possesses some talent that he cannot discern?
As a genius of the Shrek Academy, Bei Bei was instilled with the idea from a young age that they were righteous, while the Sun Moon Empire, which had once invaded the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, was Evil.
So at that moment, he felt that he was no longer just helping his girlfriend Tang Ya!
For the sake of the greater good and to weaken the power of the Sun Moon Empire, he could not allow the Sun Moon Empire to gain another genius.
Having figured this out, he took a deep breath and looked directly at Kong Deming.
Kong Deming noticed that Bei Bei's eyes no longer held the previous wariness and respect; instead, they held a confidence that seemed to come from nowhere.
He stood tall and proudly declared, "Senior, what I said before was not an empty promise!"
"While those matters are beyond my control, my ancestor can make the decision with a single word."
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan knew that Bei Bei was going to "call her parents."
Kong Deming, intrigued, asked, "Oh? Who was your ancestor?"
Bei Bei smiled and proudly declared, "Our ancestor's title— Dragon God!"
