Douluo Dalu: Huo Yuhao Knows the Plot

Chapter 82: The Dilemma of the Body Sect

“Speak your minds.”

Seeing the Sect Master speak, those below him expressed their opinions.

“The Heaven Soul Empire is so stingy, they probably assume we won't agree to the Douling Empire. In that case, the war situation for the Douling Empire is probably worse than we imagined.”

“That makes sense, we don't need to rush to choose. At worst, we can wait for the Douling Empire's war to end before making a decision.” Another Titled Douluo expressed his view.

“I think that Donglin is a bit interesting; perhaps we could consider them as well.”

“It's just a small duchy. How can its national strength and military power contend with the Douling Empire? Thinking about it now, it's just a desperate struggle.”

… …

Huo Yuhao sat quietly, understanding that the sect planned to re-emerge, and having learned from past experiences, this time they would directly cooperate with the government.

In the past, when people mentioned the Body Sect, they instinctively felt fear, and some even compared the Body Sect to evil soul masters.

The people in the hall spoke eloquently, but Huo Yuhao found it boring. Although these people were all amazing, they were political novices. If he wasn't considering the occasion, Huo Yuhao would have left.

But it's understandable. Most of those who cultivate to the Titled Douluo level are ascetic cultivators. Where would they have the time to study those scheming matters? Not everyone is a protagonist who can level up by adventuring and fighting monsters. Most people cultivate bitterly for decades until they are old and frail, and those with adventurous spirits often lose their precious lives.

Du Bu Si sighed in his heart. These guys are only good at fighting. Why did he think of asking them for advice? Suddenly, Du Bu Si looked at his disciple beside him and asked with a tentative attitude, “Yuhao, what do you think?”

Hearing his master's question, Huo Yuhao hesitated whether to speak. His views differed greatly from these people's, and he estimated that they would find it difficult to accept. “Master, forget about me.”

Du Bu Si saw that he seemed to have some concerns and waved his hand casually, “There are no outsiders here, don't worry. Just say what you think.”

The hall fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Huo Yuhao, wondering what this little guy could say. However, they didn't expect Huo Yuhao to really offer meaningful advice, mainly because they saw him as the Sect Master's disciple.

Huo Yuhao nodded silently, slowly stood up, and said softly, “Are you all falling into a misunderstanding? Why must we choose a country?”

“Now the continent is turbulent, and the Sun Moon Empire is ambitious. Perhaps a war will break out in a few years. If we get involved with these countries now, it will inevitably be difficult to escape at that time. At that time, we will only be exhausted, let alone strengthen the sect.”

“Young Sect Master, what do you mean by this? How can the disciples of this sect be greedy for life and afraid of death? Besides, if the Sun Moon Empire really launches a large-scale attack one day, are we going to stand by and watch?” Youhun Douluo frowned. His tone was slightly dissatisfied.

Huo Yuhao didn't care. He knew that some people would find these remarks difficult to accept. “The general trend of the world is that after a long period of unity, there will be division, and after a long period of division, there will be unity. In fact, everyone, think about it carefully, aren't the Sun Moon Empire and the Douling Empire humans? They are not foreign races, so why hold on to such big prejudices?”

“Young Sect Master, how can you say such things? Do you have a country in your heart?” The person who spoke was the female Soul Douluo, and her tone was quite unkind at this time, vaguely carrying a hint of questioning.

“I'm just putting forward my true thoughts. The specifics still need to be discussed by all the seniors. I am grateful for my master's kindness and don't want to see the sect decline. If you think it's inappropriate, you can disagree.”

The others remained silent, looking thoughtful.

Du Bu Si raised his hand to signal the female Soul Douluo to shut up, and looked at Huo Yuhao, “We can't continue to be silent like this. I want to hear your thoughts.”

Of course, Huo Yuhao could understand this. Although the Body Sect looked good now, it was actually showing signs of a talent gap. Without fresh blood injected, the current Body Sect was just living off its past. If this continued, the Body Sect would decline in less than two hundred years. In severe cases, it would eventually form an awkward situation with only two or three members.

“Master is right, the decline of the sect is inevitable if this continues, but we can change the method, that is, to open an academy.” Huo Yuhao said the last few words heavily.

“Open an academy?” Ran Hongyue was startled at first, then smiled bitterly, “Young Sect Master, you make it sound easy. Shrek's influence is too great. Other academies simply cannot compete with it in this regard, let alone a newly opened academy. Besides, there are too few Body martial souls.”

Huo Yuhao shook his head, feeling that it was really difficult to talk to these people, “Senior Lingyin, you didn't understand what I meant. Have you forgotten why you want to cooperate with the country?”

“Of course, it is to change the public's impression of our sect and enhance our sect's influence.” Speaking of this, Ran Hongyue paused and suddenly understood.

Huo Yuhao's expression became complicated, “Children in their teens are simple-minded and easily guided. I have witnessed it with my own eyes in Shrek. Those teachers often instill in the students a sense of honor for the academy. Over time, most of the students are brainwashed. In their eyes, entering Shrek is an honor, entering the inner court is an honor, and becoming the Shrek Seven Devils is the supreme honor. The Sea God Pavilion is even a kind of grace. The position of Shrek Academy in the hearts of those students is far above the country.”

Speaking of this, Huo Yuhao also felt some emotion in his heart. Those teachers in Shrek should be very suitable for sales. Looking at the silent crowd, Huo Yuhao hadn't stopped, “It feels incredible, right, but this is the fact. Therefore, education is very important. If we open an academy, then the soul masters who come out of our academy will naturally be close to us.”

The crowd listened in a daze. This method was not very clever. They had never thought about it in this way before, because their concept was still above the sect. Now that they think about it, it's really a good idea.
