Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 148: Is the Body Sect Truly Evil?

Speaking of this, Huo Yuhao smiled mockingly, "Perhaps I was expecting too much. Everyone has their own selfish desires. But in my eyes, Shrek is just a gathering place for elites. They don't have the ability to turn decay into magic, nor can they turn mediocrity into genius. Those who have achieved success, which one of them isn't exceptionally talented? Would they be wasted if they were placed in other academies? What Shrek relies on is just the reputation of the original Shrek Seven Devils. Would Sea God Tang San have lived a mediocre life if he hadn't joined Shrek back then? Heh, heh, heh."

"There's also one point that we might have forgotten. When the Heaven Dou Empire hadn't yet split, Shrek Academy's full name was the Heaven Dou Royal Shrek Advanced Soul Master Academy."

Like a thunderbolt from the blue, Huo Yuhao's words greatly shocked Jiang Nannan. She stood there stunned, as if the clouds had parted and she could see the sun.

Recalling the past, everything matched what Huo Yuhao said so well. From when did she start taking that so-called glory so seriously?

"You're welcome. If you want to thank someone, thank your commoner background." Huo Yuhao smiled. He knew Jiang Nannan's experience: born as a commoner, but she committed herself to Xu Sanshi in order to save her critically ill mother, which was a pity.

Perhaps many people would immediately think that she was impure and didn't cherish herself, but Huo Yuhao, who had a similar experience, didn't think so. He had personally experienced that feeling of helplessness.

Therefore, he was willing to give Jiang Nannan a hint. He didn't want such a kind girl to become Shrek's tool and lose herself.

However, what Huo Yuhao didn't know was that his words were heard, word for word, by someone in a certain corner.

At this moment, Xuan Zi only felt that the fine wine was tasteless, and the chicken in his mouth was like chewing wax. He wasn't deliberately monitoring Huo Yuhao, he just happened to see him and paid a little more attention, and happened to hear the conversation between Huo Yuhao and Jiang Nannan.

"Zhou Yi, what an idiot." Xuan Zi was so angry. This was simply a rat dropping ruining the whole pot of soup! He knew before that she was disobedient. The academy turned a blind eye because her husband was Fan Yu of the Soul Tool Department. After returning this time, he couldn't let that stinky woman run wild anymore.

Xuan Zi thought hatefully, automatically ignoring the problems of Shrek itself, and attributing all the faults to Zhou Yi alone.

He completely forgot that Zhou Yi's behavior was not an exception, and that it was him, and even the entire Inner Court and Sea God Pavilion, who acquiesced to it.

"In that case, Yuhao, I can understand your leaving the academy, but why did you join the Body Sect?" This was also what Jiang Nannan wanted to know most. Honestly, since listening to Wang Yan's account of what the Body Sect had done in the past, Jiang Nannan had been deeply disgusted with this sect. They caused widespread suffering for their own selfish gains; none of them were good people.

Huo Yuhao could feel Jiang Nannan's hostility towards the Body Sect, and he could guess the reason. "I joined the sect when I was in the academy. At that time, Master personally approached me. Do you think I had any room to refuse?"

Jiang Nannan was silent. Even though she hadn't experienced much of the world, she still knew the policies of the major sects towards commoners: co-opt or eliminate. Not to mention a domineering sect like the Body Sect.

It wasn't that Huo Yuhao wanted to smear his own sect, but the fact was that it was like this. Don't think that Du Busi was a good person just because he was good to Huo Yuhao. In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, kind-hearted people would have been gnawed until not even bone scraps remained.

Where there is light, there must be darkness. There will be filth in any major force, and the same is true for the Body Sect. This point cannot be denied, but it cannot be completely condemned either. Huo Yuhao was not the kind of double-standard dog who thought that everyone on his side was good and all enemies were evil.

At this time, Huo Yuhao changed the subject, "However, after getting along for this period of time, Master treats me like his own. That bit of unhappiness from the beginning has long since dissipated. Without Master, I don't know how long it would take for me to get to this point."

"Moreover, if it weren't for Master, I would have been on some people's must-kill list the moment I exposed my hundred-thousand-year soul ring. Maybe you wouldn't be able to see me at this time."

In fact, if it weren't for Du Busi's support, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have participated in any Soul Master Competition.

Jiang Nannan tilted her head, feeling that Huo Yuhao was taking advantage of the situation and still acting innocent. "That's also true. If you hadn't taken him as your master, where would you have gotten the hundred-thousand-year soul ring?"

Her tone was sour. A hundred-thousand-year soul ring, that was something she didn't even dare to think about. After all, she was just a commoner.

Huo Yuhao's words were also heartfelt. Perhaps in the eyes of most people, Du Busi was a supreme Douluo, the Sect Master. But when it came to Huo Yuhao, this disciple, he was really impeccable. He gave him the inheritance mark, a second martial soul awakening, and threw out ten million gold soul coins without even blinking an eye.

Moreover, Du Busi didn't force him to ask questions after Huo Yuhao exposed his hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone today, but instead protected his disciple domineeringly, suppressing all the villains.

What more could he ask for from such a master? Even if Huo Yuhao's heart was as cold as ice, it should have been warmed. The reason why Huo Yuhao accepted the ten million today was because he already owed Du Busi and the Body Sect too much. It didn't matter if there were more lice, and he didn't worry about having too much debt. He would only repay it slowly in the future.

Although there was no need to be so clear between master and disciple, Huo Yuhao couldn't allow himself to always take unilaterally.

Looking at the silent Jiang Nannan, Huo Yuhao said leisurely, "Sister Nannan, you seem to hate our Body Sect very much?"

Jiang Nannan suddenly came back to her senses. She had been too obvious. Our Body Sect, that's what Huo Yuhao had just said. Yes, Huo Yuhao was the Young Sect Master of the Body Sect. Wasn't she just courting death by revealing herself so clearly in front of him?

Jiang Nannan looked nervous, her eyes darting around, and she waved her hands in a panic, "No, why would I? I'm just a commoner, and I don't have any interaction with a big sect like the Body Sect."

"Sister Nannan, don't be nervous. I don't blame you. I guess you've been bewitched by villains. If I'm not mistaken, someone must have told you that three thousand years ago, our Body Sect sent many Title Douluos into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, angering the soul beast overlords in the depths of the forest, leading to a war between soul beasts and humans. Is that the matter?"

"How did you know?" Jiang Nannan asked in astonishment, but she regretted it as soon as she asked. Wasn't this an admission?

Huo Yuhao suddenly sneered, "Although our Body Sect hasn't done good deeds, we can't be considered extremely evil. It's true that the incident was caused by our sect, but the sect also tried its best to make amends. The sect resisted the soul beasts, and countless disciples died in battle."

"But some people distorted the facts and defined our sect as murderers. Some people even took advantage of our sect's weakness and stood on the moral high ground, demanding that the disciples of our sect not hunt hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. What's the reason for this? Is the Star Dou Great Forest their backyard?"

"State officials are allowed to set fires, but common people are not allowed to light lamps. Others can hunt soul beasts, but our Body Sect can't. Is it extremely evil for us to hunt soul beasts?"

"Sister Nannan, let me ask you, will you give up cultivation because you are worried about soul beasts retaliating? Will you give up hunting soul beasts?" Huo Yuhao's eyes stared at Jiang Nannan like reality.

Jiang Nannan lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at Huo Yuhao. She also realized at this time that she had been led by the nose by Wang Yan. Yes, soul masters have to hunt soul beasts to cultivate. Why can you Shrek hunt hundred-thousand-year soul rings, but others can't?

Standing in place, Jiang Nannan thought of the hundred-thousand-year soul ring that had appeared on the former Dean, and also thought of the two new students who had been killed by Ma Xiaotao.

Jiang Nannan laughed mockingly. She had no opinion of her own and was not as insightful as a child. It was time to change. Looking at the gradually receding teenager in front of her, Jiang Nannan secretly made a certain decision in her heart.

Noticing that Jiang Nannan hadn't followed, Huo Yuhao didn't care anymore. He had said so much, and he had done his best. If Jiang Nannan was still obsessed, then he couldn't do anything about it. After all, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.
