Chapter 169 Shrek Academy lost, and that's it.
Chapter 169 Shrek Academy lost, and that's it.
Looking at Xu Jiujiu's face, which was so shocked that he almost lost his composure, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly.
"Princess Jiu Jiu has a good eye," he pointed to the cylindrical objects on the ground, "These are three level-six fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells."
Of course, Huo Yuhao wouldn't tell her that this was just a practice project he made when he had nothing else to do.
The creation of a level-six soul tool is a piece of cake for him now.
The Spirit Eye Martial Soul is like having a cheat code when it comes to making soul tools, allowing him to achieve twice the results with half the effort.
Huo Yuhao then added, his tone still calm: "By the way, I made all of these."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jiujiu's eyes widened even more!
The expression on that stunningly beautiful face could no longer be described as "shock".
Her eyes were wide open, her mouth agape, as if she were frozen in place.
"You did this?!"
A moment later, her voice rose another notch.
Fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells are contraband items that the Sun Moon Empire strictly prohibits from being sold to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, and this is the source of their pride and confidence.
Therefore, the technology of fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells was a top secret even in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.
There are, but only a handful of people who have mastered this skill.
However, the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells produced by these people were also outdated and their power was much weaker than that of the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells of the Sun Moon Empire.
And now, Huo Yuhao, a boy who looks no more than eleven or twelve years old, actually claims that he made these fixed-mount soul-guided shells!
What does this tell us?
This shows that he not only mastered this skill, but was also a genuine Level 6 Soul Master!
Regardless of her identity, it was enough for Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire to give her the highest level of attention.
After all, she wasn't like those traditional soul masters at Shrek Academy who looked down on soul tools.
She knew better than anyone how terrifyingly powerful a soul tool could be to an army!
After a short while, Xu Jiujiu finally calmed down.
She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.
When those beautiful eyes looked at Huo Yuhao again, their expression was completely different.
If Huo Yuhao was just a gifted young man in her eyes before, someone worth investing in and befriending in advance...
Huo Yuhao is now qualified to be courted by the Star Luo Empire by any means necessary.
After a long while, her expression became much more serious. She looked directly into Huo Yuhao's eyes and asked, "How do you intend to cooperate?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao knew that the other party was already interested.
"I can supply far more soul tools than just these." His voice was calm, yet it exuded a powerful confidence. "There are many more soul tools that have never appeared in this world before."
Huo Yuhao possesses knowledge of soul tools from ten thousand years in the future. In terms of soul tool technology, he would absolutely crush the current Sun Moon Empire.
Those forward-thinking concepts, those ingenious designs, those unbelievable ideas—any one of them would be enough to leave the soul masters of this era speechless.
Xu Jiujiu did not immediately believe Huo Yuhao's words.
She is not the kind of person who is easily swayed by a few words, and she will not easily draw conclusions about things she has not seen with her own eyes.
But that's okay.
The technology of fixed-mount soul-guided projectiles is enough to establish the basis for cooperation.
The others can be verified gradually.
After thinking for a long time, he asked a very practical question.
"Cooperation on soul tools is possible," she said, her gaze falling on Huo Yuhao, "but you're only one person, so I'm afraid you can't provide many soul tools, right?"
Huo Yuhao smiled, a smile that revealed a sense of composure.
"That's absolutely right!"
"However, Princess Jiu Jiu's interest must extend beyond just the soul tools I can provide, right?"
He paused, staring intently at Xu Jiu.
"And my skills."
Xu Jiujiu was also direct and straightforward in admitting, "That's right!"
But then she asked, somewhat surprised, "Are you willing to share your skills?"
Huo Yuhao smiled mysteriously, a smile that held a profound meaning.
"That depends on Princess Jiu Jiu's sincerity."
"If I'm satisfied, teaching the Star Luo Empire some soul guidance technology wouldn't be a problem."
These words were spoken casually, yet they sent a slight tremor through Xu Jiujiu's heart.
She took a deep breath and asked again, "So what do you want?"
Huo Yuhao did not make a direct request.
"No rush, after all, we've only just started working together."
After saying this, Huo Yuhao stood up.
"It's a pleasure to meet Princess Jiu Jiu today."
"I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration in the future."
"I'll take my leave now."
Xu Jiujiu quickly got up to see him off.
The two reached the doorway, where she stopped, a polite smile on her face.
"Looking forward to seeing Mr. Huo again."
Huo Yuhao nodded and turned to leave.
The footsteps gradually faded away, eventually disappearing at the end of the corridor.
Xu Jiujiu stood at the door, watching the disappearing figure, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
She frowned and couldn't help but snort.
"As expected, they're not simple!"
Looking back on their previous conversation, she suddenly realized that Huo Yuhao had unknowingly taken control of the situation.
On his way back to the Star Emperor Hotel from the auction, Huo Yuhao was also thinking about this meeting.
Being able to establish a connection with the Star Luo royal family is indeed a pleasant surprise.
This would be a great help, both for his plans to leave Shrek Academy and for resolving the grudge with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion soon.
As he walked, he mentally planned out his next steps.
After returning to the hotel, Huo Yuhao wanted to check on his precious carving knife immediately.
He was very curious about what the Blade of Life looked like.
But his plans were interrupted once again.
Because there was an extra person in the suite on the top floor that belonged to Shrek Academy.
And this person is none other than Xuanzi, who has returned from Shrek Academy!
Huo Yuhao's gaze fell on him, and he paused slightly.
Compared to the previous Xuanzi, who was slovenly but exuded a carefree and casual vibe, he has changed a lot now.
Not only was she much cleaner and her clothes neat, but her hair was also combed meticulously, and even her demeanor seemed more composed.
Those earthy yellow eyes no longer held their former turbidity; instead, they held an indescribable solemnity.
But Huo Yuhao only glanced at him indifferently and didn't say anything more.
He still remembered what had happened before.
At this moment, Wang Yan spoke up.
"Yuhao, Elder Xuan has brought back news from the academy."
"This time, the academy will not send anyone to participate."
"So, the Shrek team only has eight of you left."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but scoff.
That smile carried a hint of mockery and a touch of self-deprecation.
"Does this mean they're convinced I can lead the academy team to victory?"
He said this with great confidence, as if the hopes of the academy rested on his shoulders alone.
However, neither Xuanzi nor Wang Yan refuted this.
Because that is indeed the case.
Although Huo Yuhao is only a Soul King, he has this ability.
Xuanzi then looked at Huo Yuhao and slowly spoke.
His face, which was much cleaner, carried a hint of solemnity.
"Old Mu said," his voice was low and hoarse, "it's all up to you. If you're unwilling to help..."
"If Shrek Academy loses, then so be it."
Urgent! Major plot twist! Watch now!
