Chapter 69: Xuan Zi’s Ingenious Plan

Bei Bei still had some impression of Huo Yuhao. After all, back then, Huo Yuhao rejected Tang Ya's invitation and chose not to join Tang Sect. Instead, he went to Shrek Academy. Honestly Bei Bei regretted Huo Yuhao's choice. Shrek Academy was the best soul master academy in the continent. If Huo Yuhao had joined Tang Sect first, then entered Shrek, He could have learned so much more. Even if he claimed he was going to live with relatives, No "relatives" could compare to the glorious legacy of Shrek Academy. And even if he got expelled, As long as he carried the Tang Sect name, He wouldn't be abandoned. Tang Sect was already on the verge of collapse. They couldn't afford to expel anyone. Whether or not Tang Sect could rise again was uncertain. But as Tang Sect's eldest brother, And the great grandson of the Sea God's Pavilion Master, Bei Bei knew that once he became strong, He would look after Huo Yuhao. Even if Huo Yuhao's own strength was lacking, He could still live a comfortable life under Bei Bei's protection. But Huo Yuhao refused to join Tang Sect. So, he would never receive these hidden benefits. Bei Bei sighed, then walked up to Huo Yuhao, studying him carefully. With a smile, he said "Rainhao, is that really you?" "You've changed so much!" "You used to be so scrawny, but now you're tall and handsome." "Even at Shrek Academy, you'd be considered a top tier heartthrob!" Huo Yuhao chuckled. "Brother Bei Bei, you're too kind." Xu Sanshi, who had been fanning himself nearby, finally approached. His eyes darted between Bei Bei and Huo Yuhao. Then, he casually asked "Bei Bei, who's this?" Bei Bei smiled. "Oh, this is Huo Yuhao." "I met him back when Tang Ya and I were in the Star Dou Forest." "Yuhao, let me introduce you this is Xu Sanshi." Xu Sanshi paused, deep in thought. 'Huo Yuhao? Never heard of a famous soul master with that name...' 'He must not have any notable background.' Then, Bei Bei asked "So, Yuhao, where are you studying now?" Most kids on the Douluo Continent attended a Soul Master Academy or a Soul Engineer Academy when they came of age. Huo Yuhao answered "Brother Bei Bei, I'm currently studying at Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy." "I'm a reserve team member for their competition team." His tone was calm and direct. After all He would have to compete in the tournament soon anyway. Bei Bei froze. His eyes widened in shock. Shrek's greatest rival in every Soul Master Tournament was always the Sun Moon Academy. And now With Shrek out of the competition, Sun Moon Academy had a high chance of winning this year's championship. A bitter feeling rose in Bei Bei's heart. Shrek Academy was definitely out of the tournament. For a proud Shrek student like Bei Bei, That was hard to accept. Even worse He had assumed that Huo Yuhao's life would be rough after rejecting Tang Sect. But now The guy had become a Sun Moon Academy elite. Bei Bei forced a smile. "Yuhao, you're even better than I imagined." "Maybe your Sun Moon Academy will win the championship this year." Huo Yuhao nodded. "I hope so, too." Xu Sanshi, standing nearby, raised an eyebrow. "Sun Moon Academy's reserve team member?" "Seems like Bei Bei's little brother here is doing pretty well for himself." At that moment A soft female voice called out from behind Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, do you know these two?" Meng Hongchen gracefully stepped forward. She had just stepped out of a nearby store, leaving Huo Yuhao waiting for her. "Senior Meng," Huo Yuhao replied, "I've known Brother Bei Bei for a while. I just met Xu Sanshi a moment ago." He gestured toward them. Meng Hongchen nodded, then started a casual conversation with them. Throughout the chat She frequently praised Huo Yuhao. Though She kept certain secrets to herself. After a few minutes, she politely excused herself, Then left with Huo Yuhao to attend their academy dinner. Xu Sanshi watched them walk away. He sighed dramatically. "Did you hear that?" "Meng Hongchen kept praising Huo Yuhao " "Like he's some kind of god." "When will Nan Nan treat me like that?" Bei Bei smirked. "Xu Sanshi, you actually think Jiang Nannan would praise you in public?" "Even in your dreams, that's impossible." Xu Sanshi's face darkened. "Alright, alright, enough about that." "I've made up my mind." "I'm going to buy some Soft Bone Rabbits as a gift for Nan Nan!" "And since they eat grass, I'll buy Blue Silver Grass as their food!" Bei Bei looked at him like he was an idiot. "And if she doesn't accept them?" "Then I'll cook them!" Xu Sanshi declared. "And of course " "The first bite must go to Nan Nan!" "If she still rejects me after that..." "Then I'll begrudgingly share the rabbit meat with you." Inside the Star Luo Palace Xu Jiawei stared at Xuan Zi. More specifically He was staring at Xuan Zi devouring a chicken leg. The Emperor's face twitched. "Xuan Elder," he sighed, "You've been eating chicken for half an hour now." "Can you finally tell me why you came here?" 'This guy should be called Chicken Leg Douluo instead of Mighty Dragon Douluo...' Xuan Zi finally finished his chicken, then tossed the bone on the ground. A massive pile of chicken bones littered the floor. Grease stains dirtied the palace tiles. Xu Jiawei's eye twitched. Xuan Zi was filthy. But Since Xuan Zi was a powerful Titled Douluo, The Emperor couldn't scold him. Instead, he forced himself to look away from the mess. Xuan Zi wiped his hands, then spoke "Xu Jiawei, I'm here about the Soul Master Tournament." The Emperor frowned. 'You dare mention that?!' 'If you hadn't quit the tournament, Star Luo City wouldn't be in chaos right now!' But as Emperor, he had to smile and ask "What's your brilliant idea, Elder Xuan?" Xuan Zi stood tall. "Since Shrek Academy has withdrawn, the task of defeating Sun Moon Academy falls on Star Luo!" "My request is simple " "Defeat Sun Moon Academy!" "You understand the importance of this tournament." "It's not just about honor." "It affects Sun Moon Empire's perception of our strength!" Xu Jiawei sighed. "Elder Xuan, do you think I don't want Star Luo to win?" "But it's not that easy!" Xuan Zi smirked. "Don't worry. With my genius tactics, Star Luo will win." "When you face Sun Moon Academy " "Target one person with everything you have." "Do not hold back." "And make sure the referees focus on protecting your own team " "In case someone fights back too hard." (End of chapter.)Thank you for the support, friends.
