Students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy cafeteria occasionally modified in a certain direction.
There, Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, Xu Xiaoyan, and others were chatting.
As Gu Yuena had thought, Yuan En Yehui wanted to apologize. However, being introverted and new to Mingdu, she wasn't very familiar with the place. In the end, she chose to express her apology at the academy cafeteria.
"I'm really sorry for causing you trouble before."
Yuan En Yehui looked towards Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, "I'm not very familiar with Mingdu, so I can only entertain everyone here."
Huo Yuhao shook his head, "It's fine."
Xie Xie asked curiously, "Since you came to report at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, didn't you learn about Mingdu in advance?"
"No, I originally didn't plan to enter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. If it wasn't for that accident, I would have already gone to report at Shrek Academy."
Yuan En Yehui shook her head.
If it hadn't been for the actions of the evil soul masters, which led to the covert department protecting her, she would have already reported to Shrek Academy.
It was just that she encountered the evil soul master incident and ended up joining the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy under Na Nali's arrangement.
No choice, Na Nali offered her too good a deal and had saved her life, so she had to comply.
'So that's how it is. Na Nali approached Yuan En Yehui to poach her too. If she hadn't encountered high-level evil soul masters and brought back a dual-soul master with both Fallen Angel and Titan Giant Ape spirits, that would have been a huge gain... What a shrewd move.'
Huo Yuhao secretly complained, then thought of another matter.
Because he hadn't joined the Tang Sect, it seemed Tang San had personally taken action to revive the Tang Sect. Among them, Tang Wutong, Shrek, and the Clear Sky Sect had contributed greatly.
However, even so, because the original three nations of Douluo were inherently weaker than the Sun Moon Empire in terms of soul tools, and the Tang Sect was starting from scratch with a lack of talent, they eventually merged with Shrek Academy replenishing personnel and enhancing their foundation.
But because of this, Shrek Academy and the Clear Sky Sect had established a relationship ten thousand years ago, and their bond was deep.
In the original development, because the soul beasts on the continent were persecuted by the Spirit Pagoda and soul masters, Da Ming and Er Ming became resentful of humans, left the Clear Sky Sect, created a demiplane, and planned to preserve a breath of vitality for the soul beasts, eventually siding with Gu Yuena.
But now that the soul beasts' situation is favorable, the stance of these two is uncertain.
The Yuan En clan, to which Yuan En Yehui belongs, is a descendant of Er Ming and humans, a reclusive family that also has a Limit Douluo... In the original work, Er Ming stayed in the demiplane, isolated from the outside world, and didn't know he had descendants. What about now?
If Er Ming knew and contacted the Yuan En clan, it would be something to watch out for. After all, with the help of Er Ming's essence blood, the Yuan En clan eventually had two Limit Douluo, one of whom was a quasi-god...
'Among the forces related to Shrek, there really are a lot of Limit Douluo, more than ten already... The Qiangu clan of the Spirit Pagoda in the original work lost for a reason.'
Without a good teammate, and with Chen Xinjie switching sides midway, the Spirit Pagoda could only call it quits...
While Huo Yuhao was thinking, Xie Xie's eyes broadened, looking as if he had seen something astonishing.
"Um, were you planning to report to Shrek first?"
"What's wrong?"
Yuan En Yehui frowned, "Shrek is indeed the number one academy on the continent, and there's the continent's strongest person there. Many members of the young genius list are proud to join it. What's wrong with that?"
"...Some things have nothing to do with strength and resources." Xie Xie pursed his lips, "Do you know how we clashed with Shrek Academy two years ago?"
Yuan En Yehui shook her head, "I don't know. There are too many rumors online. I can't possibly believe those outrageous ones."
Shrek seizing military soul tool planes or something, isn't that obviously fake slander?
"It's simple, because of arrogance..."
Xie Xie began to recount the events of two years ago in detail, causing Yuan En Yehui to gradually furrow her brow.
In her impression, Shrek Academy had a pretty good image, related to her childhood experiences. If it wasn't for the fact that the person saying this was a companion of Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, she might not have listened.
After talking for a while, Xie Xie saw that Yuan En Yehui was just listening without expressing an opinion, so he stopped and thought for a moment, then said:
"Since you originally wanted to join Shrek Academy, you wouldn't go easy on them in future battles, right?"
"You're overthinking it. I'm now a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy." Yuan En Yehui rolled her eyes, "You're from the Spirit Pagoda, right? I see you like it here a lot. If you were arranged by the Spirit Pagoda to have an exchange match here before joining the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, would you go easy on them?"
"No."
Xie Xie thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
If he had faced the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy when he first joined the Spirit Pagoda, he wouldn't have gone easy on them either.
And through this question, he confirmed that Yuan En Yehui was a normal person.
Without having experienced such things, it's nothing to have some positive impressions of Shrek Academy, as long as it's not like Ye Xinglan.
While the "boys" were chatting, the girls were also having a lively conversation.
For this gathering, Xu Xiaoyan had also brought Shen Xing along. She changed at Shen Xing, then at Gu Yuena, comparing them, and noticed that Gu Yuena's expression was softer today, not as cold as before, and more friendly. Curious, she asked:
"Nana, you seem very happy? Did something good happen?"
"Yuhao helped me complete my one-word battle armor." Gu Yuena smiled faintly.
Xu Xiaoyan's eyes brightened immediately, "Nana, you're only at four rings, right? And you're already a one-word battle armor master?"
Becoming a battle armor master at twelve... that's an unprecedented record, right?
Gu Yuena nodded modestly, "Yes."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xing's cold expression also showed a flicker of emotion. She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze sweeping over Huo Yuhao. Although her expression remained unchanged, her clenched fingertips betrayed the shock in her heart.
If Gu Yuena was a one-word battle armor master, then Huo Yuhao, who was stronger than her, must be one too.
This is the next leader of the Spirit Pagoda?
Truly extraordinary.
Shen Xing quickly averted her gaze, but her brow furrowed.
As a core disciple cultivated by her family, a future high-ranking officer of the Northern Sea Corps, she had heard much about the internal political situation of the Federation from her sister.
Of the four major military families, two belong to the hawkish faction, supporting foreign wars.
Their Shen family belongs to the dovish faction, not supporting wars against the Star Luo and Tian Dou continents.
There was also the Le family, which remained neutral.
Among the four major forces of the Federation, Shrek, though always claiming neutrality and being the benchmark of the neutral faction, now also did not support foreign wars, standing on the same side as their Shen family, leading many neutral faction council members to follow behind their dovish faction.
The Illustrious Virtue Hall had not expressed an opinion, but the Sun Moon relationship Royal Soul Master Academy had a good relationship with their Shen family, indirectly supporting them.
The War God Hall supports the hawkish faction.
Although there were many factions within the Spirit Pagoda, Qiangu Dongfeng, stationed in Mingdu, was the Pagoda Master.
The Spirit Pagoda council members' voices had to follow him, and he stood with the hawkish faction.
Political struggles are different from personal grievances. The enemy of an enemy is not necessarily a friend, and temporary allies may become future rivals.
It was because of this structure that foreign wars had not broken out. However, the hawkish faction had already gained a certain advantage, so their Shen family was also very worried and wanted to seek more power.
Huo Yuhao was likely to become the next Spirit Pagoda Master; if they could win him over and have him support the dovish faction...
Shen Xing's thoughts were interrupted by an exclamation.
"Yuan En... you're a girl?!"
