Because the Sun Moon Empire was so far from the Star Luo Empire, where the Soul Master Tournament was being held, it still took a while to get there, even with the aid of flying soul tools.
Moreover, in order for the participating team members to be in better spirits, Old Ma and Zhang Lexuan decided to set off early. On the road, Xiao Hongchen seemed very excited. Eventually, he couldn't help but approach Huo Yuhao and whispered, "Yuhao, I'm getting more and more excited. I can't calm down at all!"
Huo Yuhao looked at him in surprise. "You're already a Soul Emperor at the sixth rank. Even Senior Ma Rulong isn't much higher than you. Among all the participants, you're probably one of the strongest. Why are you nervous?"
Xiao Hongchen realized that Huo Yuhao had misunderstood him and quickly waved his hand to explain. "It's not nervousness, it's excitement!"
"You know, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. In the capital of the Star Luo Empire, defeating all the participating teams, including Shrek Academy, to win the championship and obtain the honor that our Sun Moon Empire hasn't achieved in so many years... I can't help but get excited just thinking about it!"
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but roll his eyes.
So, Xiao Hongchen was this excited and out of control because of this?
Before he could say anything, Xiao Hongchen began to fantasize again.
"Think about it, Yuhao. If it weren't for those guys from Shrek Academy back then, the Sun Moon Empire would have already unified the entire continent! And over the years, the Sun Moon Empire has been working hard to win the Soul Master Tournament, but every time, at the last moment, they're blocked by those guys from Shrek."
"If we can defeat Shrek head-on this time, we'll instantly become heroes of the entire empire! When we go back, we'll receive countless praises and admiration!"
Thinking of the scene from that dream, countless beautiful girls calling him Brother Xiao, crying and begging to spend the night with him, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but chuckle, his mouth almost splitting to the back of his head.
Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly. Xiao Hongchen was completely letting loose in front of him, not caring about his image at all.
However, Huo Yuhao also knew that what Xiao Hongchen said was the truth. The Sun Moon Empire had suffered under Shrek for a long time. Once they could defeat Shrek head-on and win the final championship, all the participating members would instantly become heroes in the eyes of everyone in the Sun Moon Empire, bringing them great confidence and no longer fearing Shrek, the number one academy on the continent.
After all, even within the Sun Moon Empire, there were many who considered Shrek Academy a holy place!
So, should he intervene and try to minimize casualties for the Shrek Academy people when they faced that 'strongest Soul King', the Death God's Emissary?
Compared to defeating a group of opponents who were dead or injured, it was clear that crushing them head-on would bring more satisfaction to someone like Xiao Hongchen.
In Huo Yuhao's mind, whether those people from Shrek could compete fully didn't matter. His focus was no longer on them.
But since Xiao Hongchen had that thought, Huo Yuhao didn't mind helping his good friend. After making his decision, Huo Yuhao wrote new content in his diary.
According to his estimations, although Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen had already defected from Shrek Academy.
But as his former academy in the original trajectory, Shrek's importance in the original story was naturally undeniable. It was very likely that there were still women there who could see the content of his diary. He would use this opportunity to verify it. Whether those people from Shrek could survive this crisis didn't matter.
Huo Yuhao didn't care about their lives or deaths at all.
[Officially starting the journey to the capital of the Star Luo Empire, preparing to participate in this Soul Master Tournament. I just don't know if there will be a chance to meet that White Tiger Duke, whom I've only heard about but never seen. After all, according to reliable sources, the Star Luo royal family has been suppressing the White Tiger Duke's forces recently, and has even secretly killed many of the White Tiger Duke's powerful subordinates. In this case, even a superficial harmony is unlikely to be maintained, right?]
[Come to think of it, Xiao Hongchen's words just reminded me. Without my help this time, when the so-called Supervisory Team from Shrek goes to cause trouble for that 'strongest Soul King', the Death God's Emissary, wouldn't they just get wiped out?]
[The championship that the Sun Moon Empire has been looking forward to for so many years, if it's won like that, not to mention those ordinary people, even the contestants like Xiao Hongchen and Ma Rulong probably wouldn't be able to accept it, right?]
"I hope Xuanzi, that Sacred Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder, doesn't get too involved and actually does something useful. Stop just eating your chicken legs!"
The moment they sensed the diary copy in their minds pulsing, the group of beautiful girls traveling with Huo Yuhao immediately began to check it.
When they saw that Huo Yuhao had expressed his concern for the participating members of Shrek Academy in his diary, their moods became quite delicate.
Just how unreliable were the teachers leading Shrek Academy? Enough to make Huo Yuhao worry that they would be wiped out by a Soul King? Even if that Soul King was an evil soul master, it shouldn't come to that, right?
Meng Hongchen and Xu Tianzhen, who were unaware of the inside story, expressed their doubts and completely failed to understand how such a bizarre thing could happen.
But for Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen, who had defected from Shrek, they instantly believed what Huo Yuhao said. The participants from Shrek this time were probably really facing the risk of being wiped out before they even started!
Especially Zhang Lexuan, who had experienced the incident in the Star Dou Great Forest with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, knew exactly what kind of person Xuanzi, whom Huo Yuhao jokingly called the Sacred Spirit Cult's Supreme Elder, was!
If the participants from Shrek Academy were still led by Xuanzi this time, then their families could prepare for the funeral feast in advance.
However, Zhang Lexuan thought that there might still be people in Shrek who possessed a diary copy. She just didn't know if, after seeing the new content Huo Yuhao had written in his diary, those people's fates could be changed.
If possible, even Zhang Lexuan hoped that those people from Shrek wouldn't be killed by the evil soul masters.
It wasn't that she still had any feelings for Shrek, but because doing so would disrupt the plan that Huo Yuhao and Kong Deming had formulated to completely bring Shrek down from its pedestal!
At the same time, over at Shrek Academy, Xuanzi was tearfully recounting why there were so few students in the inner court. He spoke of the existence of the Shrek Supervisory Team, and how Shrek had been constantly suppressing evil soul masters for the sake of the continent's peace.
"They are all good children, even though they didn't truly graduate, their names will always be on the academy's roster. They used the academy's ideals as their own, and they didn't lack the strength to graduate, but instead died for the academy's ideals."
Ning Tian in the crowd listened to Xuanzi's words echoing in her ears, her body and heart involuntarily turning cold.
Were those people's sacrifices really because of the reason Xuanzi said?
Perhaps some were, after all, after being brainwashed by Shrek, Shrek's glory and ideals would become more important than their own lives.
But there were also countless others who were killed by a guy like Xuanzi – irresponsible, arrogant, and looking down on everyone!
