Douluo: Peerless Sky Eye Yuhao

"Beibei?" Zhang Lexuan asked in a low voice as soon as Huo Yuhao came back.

"Yeah." Huo Yuhao nodded.

Zhang Lexuan said helplessly: "He must have seen something."

“Yes.” Huo Yuhao winked at Zhang Lexuan and said jokingly, “From now on, he and I will talk about our own affairs. I will call him brother and he will call me brother-in-law.”

"Go away, you are so frivolous." Zhang Lexuan was embarrassed and angry, and she clenched her fist and waved it at Huo Yuhao.

“Okay, okay, no more jokes.” Huo Yuhao smiled, then said seriously, “Xu Jiujiu sent a message saying that he hopes to make an appointment with us.”

"A request for a meeting? There's no such thing as a meeting without a request. Come with me to the residence of the Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy." Zhang Lexuan changed her shy look and resumed her vigorous and decisive work style. She stood up and left the bedroom with Huo Yuhao.

When I came to the living room, I saw the girls from Shrek Academy who had just returned from shopping. They were playing Monopoly. A group of people gathered together, laughing sweetly. Even the most introverted Snow Girl joined in.

As for the boys, they were watching the soul guides made by He Caitou at the martial arts arena.

"Senior Sister, let's play Monopoly." Ma Xiaotao was sharp-eyed and noticed Zhang Lexuan coming.

Suddenly, the other girls stopped playing and looked up.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "I won't play anymore. Yuhao and I have things to deal with."

Everyone nodded in understanding, except Ma Xiaotao, who turned her beautiful eyes and looked at Huo Yuhao behind Zhang Lexuan.

Huo Yuhao looked at her.

Neither of them spoke.

But Ma Xiaotao's red lips gradually outlined a smile

She got it.

Zhang Lexuan didn’t notice that she and Huo Yuhao had left the villa and were heading towards the residence of the Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy on the sixth floor of the hotel.

The huge corridor is quiet.

Until the doorbell rings.

After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing half of a slightly wary face.

"Shrek Academy." Zhang Lexuan directly reported her family's name.

The moment the five words fell, the door opened wide, revealing a beautiful female student at the door. She said respectfully, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is inside, please follow me."

Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao walked in without saying anything.

Compared to the villas where Shrek Academy lives, the conditions at Xingluo Royal Soul Master Academy are slightly worse, of course, compared to the villa area.

Their students were all resting and meditating in their respective rooms, preparing for the final round which would begin the day after tomorrow.

Under the guidance of the girl, Zhang Lexuan and Huo Yuhao soon met Xu Jiujiu in a lounge.

"Sister Lexuan, Yuhao."

When Xu Jiujiu saw the two of them, his expression relaxed a little and he quickly stood up and walked over.

The girl who led the way quietly retreated and closed the door.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "I heard from Beibei that you wanted to meet us, so we thought we were not far away, so we came directly. Didn't we bother you?"

"How could I bother you? It's my fault. I should have come to find you." Xu Jiujiu shook his head and said, "Please sit down."

The three of them sat down, and Xu Jiujiu immediately explained the reason for wanting to meet: "This time, I want to meet mainly because of news from the Empire that some of the eliminated sect teams have not returned. My brother is worried that these teams have been persecuted, but our strength in Mingdu is too weak to investigate clearly, so we can only ask your hospital for help."

"They haven't returned yet?" Zhang Lexuan thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that they are hurrying back? That's why they haven't returned to the Xing Luo Empire?"

"That's impossible." Xu Jiujiu said, "Long before coming to the Sun Moon Empire to participate in the competition, our Xing Luo Empire's participating teams all gathered in Xing Luo City in advance. My royal brother said at the beginning that any team must return to the empire immediately after the competition is over and must not stay."

"How many teams failed to return on time?" Zhang Lexuan asked.

"Eight." Xu Jiujiu replied immediately.

“If nothing unexpected happens, it should be as your brother guessed. They were either killed or captured.” Huo Yuhao interrupted.

After a long while, he suddenly looked at it.

Huo Yuhao was playing with a gold soul coin between his fingers. He looked at her and said, “I will ask the strong men in the academy to investigate whether the people from your Xingluo Empire are alive or dead.”

"Senior, please remember not to leave alone to explore the area around Mingdu. You may lose your life if you do that."

He said to a place where no one was around.

Zhang Lexuan's eyes moved slightly, and Xu Jiujiu's face even flashed with surprise.

"Your perception is truly monstrous." A figure quietly appeared behind Xu Jiujiu, and it was an old woman in a red dress.

There was a look of surprise in the old woman’s emerald blue eyes. She was sure that Huo Yuhao had just locked onto her location.

“Thank you for your compliment, senior.” Huo Yuhao chuckled.

"Let me introduce you. This is Grandma Manyi. She is a Titled Douluo-level expert sent by my royal brother to protect me. Her title is Nebula." Xu Jiujiu hurriedly introduced.

After finishing, she asked in a deep voice: "Yuhao, you said not to let Grandma Manyi go to Mingdu to investigate, why?"

For a moment, the three women all looked at Huo Yuhao. He said, “The Sun-Moon Empire is most likely preparing something in secret. I suspect they may have deployed heavy troops in several directions away from Mingdu, including a large number of ninth-level soul guides and even ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells.”

"If you don't have the strength of a Super Douluo at this time, it will be very easy for problems to occur."

"What did you say? Ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shells?"

He couldn't sit still for a long time, so he stood up suddenly and stared at Huo Yuhao in horror.

The Nebula Douluo Manyi was also surprised, but raised a question: "Most of the teams in the competition are from the three major empires of the original Douluo Continent. If the Sun-Moon Empire secretly deploys heavy troops, isn't it afraid of the three major empires attacking it?"

“Why should we be afraid?” Huo Yuhao analyzed calmly, “If Second Prince Xu Tianming and Crown Prince Xu Tianran were not at odds with each other, and if the old emperor was not dead, Xu Tianran would have started a war long ago with his methods. The competition is the best opportunity. And I believe you have estimated the true strength of the Sun Moon Empire.”

Xu Jiujiu and Manyi had gloomy faces. They had indeed estimated that the result would be that the Sun and Moon Empire could challenge the three major empires at the same time.

“Of course.” Huo Yuhao changed the subject. “What I said now is my guess. As for the details, I will ask Elder Xuan or Elder Song to investigate. If it is really as I guessed, then we must take precautions in advance.”

Huo Yuhao remembered that in the original time and space, except for the local teams of the Sun Moon Empire, the other participating teams were basically captured by the soul guide team deployed by Xu Tianran around Mingdu.

Then he was imprisoned in Risheng City, which was about a few hundred kilometers away from Mingdu. Of course, the possibility of changes in this life cannot be ruled out because of the flapping of his butterfly wings.

No, it should have changed.

Didn’t Xu Jiujiu just say that only eight teams from the Xing Luo Empire did not return within a certain period of time, and the rest of the teams have all returned.

In this life, Xu Tianran may be playing a different game.

"This is the only way." Xu Jiujiu sat back on the sofa with a look of disappointment. Suddenly, she clenched her hands and said, "Half of the eight sects that did not return to the empire support the existence of our royal family and are quite powerful. If something really happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle."

What does it mean to be difficult to handle? It’s very simple.

The sect has done its best to support you, but the most outstanding disciples in the sect all died in the enemy country, and then you don’t take revenge. How will they look at you?
Few people care about the fact that countries should not go to war easily. They only know that their future is ruined and they will not be able to face their ancestors when they die. Zhang Lexuan frowned, stood up and said, "Let's stop here. I will inform you immediately when there is a result."

"Thank you for your help." Xu Jiujiu said solemnly.

Zhang Lexuan glanced at Huo Yuhao, and the two of them gestured to Nebula Douluo, then opened the door and left.

"Are you telling the truth? Or is it just pure speculation?"

In the corridor, Zhang Lexuan sent a message to Huo Yuhao with a serious expression.

“It’s not really a guess, but I’m not sure whether it’s true or not,” Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice.

Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath and said, "Should we ask Xu Tianming first?"

“You can ask, but Xu Tianran was most likely the one who did it, and he might have been kept in the dark. So, it’s necessary for us to check it ourselves.” Huo Yuhao nodded.

"Well."

……

"The third meeting to decide the final round format of this year's Fighting Spirit Competition has begun." Inside the huge conference room where the Sun-Moon Fighting Spirit Competition Organizing Committee is located, a group of people are sitting in it, and the person who is speaking is surprisingly the chairman of the Sun-Moon Organizing Committee.

The organizing committees from the four major empires of Douluo Continent have all arrived.

The first to vote were the organizing committee members from the Douling Empire. Looking at the soul guide screen on the rostrum, the 25 members of the Douling Organizing Committee pressed the button in front of them one by one.

Support or oppose the reform.

Drop drop!
Voting is over.

In the conference room, a group of people looked over and the people from the Sun and Moon Organizing Committee immediately smiled implicitly.

The voting result of the Douling Organizing Committee was 23 votes in favor and 2 votes against.

"Tianhun Organizing Committee, it's your turn." The chairman of the Sun and Moon Organizing Committee turned his eyes to one side.

The twenty-five members of the Tianhun Organizing Committee acted quickly.

The results are in.

Thirteen votes in favor and twelve against.

The Tianhun Empire has done the same thing before, with almost half of the votes, with no one opposing or supporting it.

The organizing committee of the two empires had a total of fifty people, thirty-six of whom supported it and fourteen opposed it.

"Xingluo Organizing Committee." The chairman of the Sun and Moon Organizing Committee narrowed his eyes slightly and swept them over the group of people who remained silent.

As the button was pressed, the result became clear on the soul guide screen.

Twenty-five people, all opposed.

Chairman Sun and Moon kept a smile on his face.

As of now, there are thirty-six people in favor and thirty-nine people against.

Looking at this result, the people of the Xingluo Empire had unhappy expressions, especially when they looked at the Douling Empire Organizing Committee.

Every time the competition is reformed, except for the chairman of the proposing country, no one else can vote. The other three countries vote, and ultimately the minority obeys the majority.

The chairman's vote is equivalent to four votes.

After adding the vote of Chairman Riyue, the final result was that 40 people supported and 39 people opposed, with a difference of one vote, and the reform was passed.

"Clap clap clap."

Soon, applause broke out in the conference room.

"Very good. The final round of this competition will be held in a single elimination system. Except for the central competition stage, all other competition stages in the fighting spirit arena outside Mingdu will be demolished."

With the hammer hitting the table, the meeting was officially passed.

The people from the Xingluo Empire Organizing Committee immediately snorted at the people from the Douling Empire Organizing Committee, then left with a flick of their sleeves.

The people of the Douling Empire looked a little embarrassed, but that was all.

The single-elimination system will surely make the competition from 64 to 32 unprecedentedly intense, and even lead to a higher ranking.

You know, among the teams that made it to the top 64, one-third of them are from the Xing Luo Empire.

In order to avoid being eliminated, even an imperial team will fight completely. It is okay to get injured, but they are afraid that they will hit too hard and the referee will deliberately be slow to rescue, resulting in deaths.

If it was the original group-based competition, the result would definitely be much better than a single-elimination system. At least everyone knows there are more opportunities and won't give everything in one game.

However, what the organizing committee members of the original Douluo Continent Three Kingdoms did not know in the conference room was that there were already monitoring soul guides secretly monitoring everything, and everything that happened in the conference room had already spread to another room.

Sitting in a comfortable and exquisite wheelchair, Xu Tianran crossed his fingers under his chin and looked at the broadcasted video with great interest: "The people of the Xingluo Empire are really naughty. If they hadn't bribed some people in Douling and Tianhun in advance, I'm afraid the third vote would definitely fail."

At the back, the girl in the orange dress had hatred in her eyes and said, "This is what naughty kids are like. Just give them a beating."

"Come to think of it, one third of these sixty-four teams are from the Xing Luo Empire. Your Highness, do you mean to get rid of them all?"

Xu Tianran did not answer directly, but asked: "What was the result of the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Orange immediately responded: "Half of the remaining Xingluo Empire's troops support the Xingluo royal family."

"Half?" Xu Tianran smiled and stopped talking about this topic.

Juzi understood what he meant and said, "Your Highness, the plan for Shrek Academy has been prepared. Would you like to take a look?"

"Yeah." Xu Tianran stretched out his hand casually.

Juzi quickly took out the folder and handed it to Xu Tianran.

Opening it, Xu Tianran glanced over and suddenly sighed, "Sixty-four to thirty-two, Tianlong Sect. Thirty-two to sixteen, Shenjian Sect. Sixteen to eight, Wild Beast Sect. Eight to four, Snow Demon Sect. Semi-finals against Haotian Sect, finals against Poseidon Family."

Orange's expression slightly changed, and he said, "In this competition, the strong teams were protected by us, so that they did not meet in advance. According to your instructions, all of them were left to Shrek Academy to consume their strength and let the Sea God Family win the final championship. In this way, a good relationship can be established between the two sides."

"Yes, the battle list is well arranged, but there is one thing that needs to be changed." Xu Tianran nodded with satisfaction.

"You say." Orange asked respectfully.

"Replace the Snow Demon Sect with the Holy Spirit Sect." A cold smile appeared on Xu Tianran's lips.

"Holy Spirit Sect?" Ju Zi was surprised. "Your Highness, this is a team from the Holy Spirit Church. Although they are very strong, I don't think they can be a match for Shrek Academy. Besides, Shrek Academy is very targeted at evil soul masters. If too many people from the Holy Spirit Sect die, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction in the Holy Spirit Church, which will be difficult to deal with."

"They won't be dissatisfied." Xu Tianran said with a smile, "On the contrary, they will approve of this arrangement. Shrek Academy wants to kill them, so they also want to kill Shrek Academy."

"As for the deaths, we can only blame the Holy Spirit Church's disciples for not learning their skills well enough."

"Another point is that the Snow Demon Sect is just a shell of the Body Sect. If they meet Shrek Academy, I doubt they will start a fight. The Snow Demon Sect will most likely admit defeat directly. This will not be worth the loss, but will give Shrek Academy more opportunities to rest. Just do as I said and replace the Snow Demon Sect with the Holy Spirit Sect."

"Yes, sir." Juzi agreed. (End of this chapter)
