Chapter 79: Setting Off with the Team
At the assembly point, a group of students from the spirit tool research institute were discussing in low voices.
"Lin Xiaorou, do you think we'll be discriminated against when we go to the Sun Moon Empire? I heard the soul engineers there look down on us a bit."
"Don't worry, they definitely won't. This exchange was organized by Pavilion Master Huo himself. Who would dare offend the number one person on the continent?"
Seeing that almost all the students had arrived, Huo Yuhao deactivated his Simulation stealth effect and appeared before everyone.
"We are going to the Sun Moon Empire for an exchange and study trip this time. Your safety will naturally be guaranteed by me, but I still want to give a reminder."
"The teachers from the Inner Courtyard have told you many times that the nest of the Evil Soul Masters is suspected to be within the borders of the Sun Moon Empire."
"If you leave the group, you must report to me or Elder Yan. If you discover any traces of suspected Evil Soul Masters, report it immediately."
"Remember your identities as researchers; you don't have the powerful combat strength of the Martial Soul System."
"Alright, Elder Yan and I will lead the Inner Courtyard students. The visiting students from the Outer Courtyard will enter the spirit tool carriage, protected by Elder Lin and Old Zhuang."
The group quickly advanced toward the Sun Moon Empire. With the boost from his battle armor, Huo Yuhao was finally able to maintain high-speed flight for a long time.
"Pavilion Master, we'll be inside the Sun Moon Empire's borders soon. Should we notify them?"
"No need. We'll appear directly at the gates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy with the students."
"Will this expose some of your trump cards, Pavilion Master? If we need to launch a surprise attack later, they might be prepared."
"Elder Yan, sometimes awe is far more important than trump cards, especially when the consequences are irreversible."
Huo Yuhao gave Yan Shaozhe a meaningful look.
"Hall Master, we still haven't found any trace of Shrek Academy. All detection spirit tools have been activated."
Mirror Hongchen was a bit puzzled upon hearing this. "Is Shrek Academy late? They haven't reached Capital City by this time. Is there any news from the border?"
Before Lin Jiayi could answer, a group of figures slowly emerged in front of the gates of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Just as Mirror Hongchen and the others were about to go on alert, a demigod's aura covered the entire academy. Mirror Hongchen had just intended to fly up when he was pressed back down by this aura.
"Hall Master Hongchen, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am the lead teacher for this exchange. I didn't quite control my aura; I hope I didn't hurt you."
Huo Yuhao stepped forward and warmly shook Mirror Hongchen's hand, while his mental force silently severed Mirror Hongchen's connection with his spirit tools.
After losing the sense of his spirit tools, a drop of cold sweat trickled down Mirror Hongchen's forehead, and his right hand, which was being held, broke into a sweat.
"Hall Master Hongchen, we at Shrek Academy loathe Evil Soul Masters the most. There shouldn't be any Evil Soul Masters hiding here, right?"
"Pavilion Master Huo must be joking. How could there be Evil Soul Masters in Mingde Hall? You can rest assured about the safety of your students."
"It better be so. After all, compared to Evil Soul Masters, perhaps my destructive power is even greater."
After finishing what Huo Yuhao considered a friendly meeting, Lin Jiayi led everyone to the dormitory to rest.
Inside the Sun Moon Imperial Palace, Crown Prince Xu Tianran suddenly smashed a piece of porcelain in a fit of rage. Although he tried his best to calm his emotions, his facial expression was somewhat distorted.
"You're saying that none of our detection spirit tools noticed any trace of Huo Yuhao bringing people over, and he even led nearly a hundred students directly to the gates of Mingde Hall?"
"Then does that mean tomorrow he'll be standing at the door of my bedchamber with assassins? Are you useless trash just eating for nothing?"
The threat Huo Yuhao posed to him today was truly too great. A demigod could come and go as they pleased in his own base without a sound, and he was an enemy.
How could he sleep peacefully in the future? His head was constantly in Huo Yuhao's hands, depending entirely on whether the latter wanted to cut it off.
"Your Highness, you are overthinking. Ju Zi believes that Huo Yuhao would not act like this easily. If he really had thoughts of assassinating you, he wouldn't have shown himself today."
Inside the Crown Prince's bedchamber, a very attractive and beautiful woman walked near Crown Prince Xu Tianran and took over the duty of pushing his wheelchair from the guard.
"Ju Zi, you truly are clever. I am more and more satisfied with you. If I let you command the army in the future, how could the Douluo Three Kingdoms possibly stand against us?"
"Your Highness overpraises me. Ju Zi can find an opportunity to contact the Shrek students at the academy recently to scout for some information for you."
"Go then, Ju Zi, but remember to be careful. To me, you are the most important."
After Ju Zi withdrew, Crown Prince Xu Tianran summoned his personal guard again.
"Tell Elder Kong about what happened today, urge the production process of the Death God Tower, and additionally, adjust all plans targeting Shrek Academy."
Huo Yuhao was currently being led around by Lin Jiayi for a tour, but his Divine Sense was searching for the traces of Xuan Ziwen, Ji Juechen, and others.
"Elder Yi, how many auras of the Holy Spirit Cult are in this academy?"
"At least thirty or so. They all have very obvious undead auras on them."
Huo Yuhao used his Divine Sense to mark all the students Elder Yi felt were unusual with his sixth spirit ability, waiting to have a "friendly" chat with them tonight.
"Pavilion Master Huo, as the three Inner Courtyard Disciple spots exchanged with you, we have also reserved ten spots in Mingde Hall for you. Which ones do you want to enter Mingde Hall?"
Huo Yuhao took out a list and handed it to Lin Jiayi. "The nine on this list plus me. You shouldn't have any objections, right?"
"Naturally, there's no problem. Pavilion Master Huo, you can come to me for anything."
After finishing the arrangements for the students, Huo Yuhao's figure slowly turned transparent and dissipated; he had found Xuan Ziwen.
Inside Xuan Ziwen's Spirit Tool Laboratory, Huo Yuhao used his divine slash to tear through space and teleported over.
He didn't interrupt Xuan Ziwen's engraving of the spirit core, but waited until he was finished before appearing and speaking.
"Xuan Ziwen, are you interested in coming with me? I remember you weren't originally from the Sun Moon Empire either."
"As one of the rewards, I can spare Kong Deming's life in the future, if we become enemies."
"The famous Huo Yuhao is willing to recruit me? I'm truly flattered. However, I'm not interested in your battle armor. It makes no difference where I conduct my experiments."
Huo Yuhao wasn't annoyed upon hearing this. With a gentle wave of his right hand, a complex blueprint appeared on Xuan Ziwen's desk.
"Look at this, the blueprint for an Elementary spirit tool train—a transportation spirit tool that can be used by ordinary people."
Xuan Ziwen immediately became interested and picked up the blueprint to examine it closely, but the more he looked, the more alarmed he became.
"Pavilion Master Huo is just letting me see this blueprint? Many of the structures in this blueprint are technologies capable of changing the era."
"Naturally, recruiting a talent like you requires showing sincerity, and this blueprint for the spirit tool train is that sincerity."
Xuan Ziwen stared at the blueprint again for a long time. "To be able to draw so many new types of spirit tool structures, Pavilion Master Huo should have more than just this one blueprint, right?"
