Xu Jiawei and the faces of the Title Douluo present instantly became incredibly grim. They could clearly sense the heavy threat embedded within Jing Hongchen's words.
Military exercise? Who would believe such a thing!
Jing Hongchen's meaning was already very clear. If any of the students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy were to meet with an accident, then the Soul Tool Master Legion stationed in the Mingdou Mountain Range would likely launch a war against the Star Luo Empire without hesitation.
This much was already certain, just by observing that Kong Deming, the great offering of the Sun Moon Empire, had accompanied them.
The Sun Moon Empire seemingly placed even greater importance on the students of the Royal Soul Tool Academy than they had imagined!
Xu Jiawei did his best to appear natural. After nodding at Jing Hongchen, he stated matter-of-factly, "As the host of this Soul Master Tournament, the Star Luo Empire is, of course, obligated to ensure the safety of every participant."
Jing Hongchen shrugged, noncommittal, and didn't say anything more. He flew off in the direction where Kong Deming, Mu En, and Xuan Zi had already departed.
Watching Jing Hongchen's retreating figure, Xu Jiawei's expression gradually darkened. He turned to the Shattered Star Douluo and Giant Hammer Douluo beside him and said in a low voice, "I'll have to trouble you two to make a trip and ensure that their battle doesn't affect anyone else. Also, take a look at just how strong Kong Deming, the Sun Moon Empire's great offering, really is!"
The Shattered Star Douluo and Giant Hammer Douluo exchanged glances and immediately agreed.
After the two of them flew off behind Jing Hongchen, Xu Jiawei finally turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen below, and his mood became extremely heavy.
He hadn't forgotten what Jing Hongchen had just said.
The Soul Tool Master Legion of the Sun Moon Empire conducting military exercises in the Mingdou Mountain Range were equipped with offensive soul tools that could cause tremendous damage without the need for soul power activation!
Xu Jiawei was certain that the emergence of these soul tools would make the Star Luo Empire's situation even more dangerous.
Because this meant that there was no need to specially cultivate Soul Tool Masters; even ordinary people, after training and learning how to operate them, could unleash incredibly terrifying power.
It was just like the Tang Sect's hidden weapons from ten thousand years ago, giving ordinary people the ability to fight against soul masters.
It was a pity that after the collision between the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent, the soul tools brought by the Sun Moon Empire completely eliminated the Tang Sect's hidden weapons, and the Tang Sect members only wanted to cling to their hidden weapons, ultimately leading to their obsolescence and abandonment.
Even the Tang Sect's sect master, Tang Ya, had been pushed out as a scapegoat by Shrek, eventually falling into the path of an Evil Soul Master.
If the Tang Sect had kept up with the times and transformed those hidden weapons into more powerful soul tools, how could their original three Douluo countries have ended up like this? How could the Tang Sect have ended up like this? Those fools, stubbornly clinging to their hidden weapons, always believing that the Tang Sect's hidden weapons were invincible.
What difference was there between them and the conservative faction of Shrek Academy?
Xiao Hongchen was Jing Hongchen's grandson and could never betray the Sun Moon Empire. But what about Huo Yuhao?
As early as when the Soul Master Competition had just begun, Xu Jiawei had already tasked people with investigating Huo Yuhao's background, learning that he didn't originally belong to the Sun Moon Empire. He had been persecuted in his original country and, to survive and seek revenge, had crossed the continent and sought refuge in the Sun Moon Empire.
If he offered a high enough price and helped Huo Yuhao get revenge, would there be a chance to draw him to the Star Luo Empire?
He really didn't know which country Huo Yuhao was from, for such a genius to be forced to flee was truly something!
Xu Jiawei decided to give it a try and immediately summoned his younger sister, Xu Jiujiu. When Xu Jiawei told Xu Jiujiu his idea, her eyes immediately became quite strange.
"Jiujiu, you've also seen Huo Yuhao's ability and talent, and his talent isn't just evident in his Soul Master abilities; even his talent in soul tools is extremely strong. Even Jing Hongchen said that he and Xiao Hongchen jointly developed that new type of offensive soul tool."
"If we can recruit him to our Star Luo Empire, with that soul tool, our Star Luo Empire will definitely be invincible! So, it all depends on you!"
"Jiujiu, as long as Huo Yuhao shows any sign of wavering, agree to any condition he proposes!"
"The Sun Moon Empire gave him the title of Viscount. We in the Star Luo Empire can offer even more generous terms! As long as we can win him over to the Star Luo Empire, it will all be worth it!"
Xu Jiujiu remained silent, her expression complex. She knew, of course, how beneficial it would be to recruit Huo Yuhao. She understood even better than Xu Jiawei the impact this Child of Destiny could bring.
However, Huo Yuhao had only gone to the Sun Moon Empire because he couldn't survive in the Star Luo Empire.
In Huo Yuhao's heart, the White Tiger Duke's Manor was currently the target of his revenge. How could he possibly turn around and return to the Star Luo Empire?
Furthermore, there were so many beautiful girls around Huo Yuhao, and the stunning beauty of Gu Yue Na and Snow Emperor even made Xu Jiujiu feel ashamed.
Was her older brother perhaps overestimating her by asking her to recruit Huo Yuhao?
But seeing Xu Jiawei's demeanor, Xu Jiujiu finally agreed helplessly. She turned and walked towards where Huo Yuhao and the others were, wanting to have a private conversation with him.
At the same time, Xu Jiawei also arranged for Wang Xian'er to go down and treat the students of Shrek Academy and the injured spectators, while also maintaining order on the scene and preventing the chaos from spreading further.
In any case, Shrek Academy was still a formidable force, even if it was past its prime.
Before he had absolute certainty, Xu Jiawei couldn't afford to let the Star Luo Empire completely fall out with Shrek Academy. If he could, Xu Jiawei would have preferred Shrek Academy to fall into decline and gradually become their pawns in the fight against the Sun Moon Empire.
However...
Xu Jiawei looked at Beibei below. Earlier, because the situation was too chaotic, Mu En only wanted to quickly resolve things and take everyone back to Shrek Academy.
He probably only noticed that his great-grandson, Beibei, had suffered some injuries, but he didn't notice that Beibei's injuries were to his kidneys!
Based on Xu Jiawei's understanding of Mu En, Beibei was his only descendant. Now, Beibei, like Dai Huabin, had lost the most important ability a man could have, which meant his line would be severed.
Under these circumstances, Xu Jiawei couldn't guarantee what Mu En would do.
He hoped Mu En could be rational and not be like Xuan Zi, that brainless fool, who acted purely on instinct without considering the immeasurable consequences of his actions.
At this moment, Xu Jiawei noticed Xu Jiujiu had walked in front of Huo Yuhao. He immediately focused all his attention on Huo Yuhao, to see if he would accept Xu Jiujiu's advances and choose to join the Star Luo Empire.
"Yuhao, can we talk alone for a moment?"
Xu Jiujiu looked at Huo Yuhao and extended an invitation.
Xu Jiujiu put on an act, pretending to be resentful, to show that she felt she had been deceived by him when they met in the extreme north, where he had pretended to be a student of Shrek Academy.
After hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, Huo Yuhao smiled and replied.
"Princess Jiujiu, why don't you just say whatever you have to say here."
Xu Jiujiu subtly glanced at Gu Yue Na, Snow Emperor, and Meng Hongchen, and said with a smile.
"Are you interested in coming to our Star Luo Empire? If you are, no matter what conditions you require, we will do our best to fulfill them, and we definitely won't let you down."
Huo Yuhao's lips curled slightly, and he looked at Dai Hao, who was holding the charred corpse of Dai Yueheng, his face full of sorrow, with tears constantly flowing, and said with a smile.
"Really? Then, if my condition is to have you help me kill the White Tiger Duke, would you be willing too?"
