It's just that Ming Zihan and the others didn't have enough time. Although the appearance of spiritual power gave humans incredible power, it also created all kinds of demonic beasts. These beasts were already powerful at birth, and they became even more perverted after being nourished and mutated by spiritual power. At least, the speed at which humans explored spiritual power cultivation couldn't keep up with their mutation speed.
Huo Yuhao didn't know what happened to that world after Ming Zihan died, but he thought that humans probably wouldn't be able to last long. This wasn't him being pessimistic, but an unavoidable fact. Moreover, spiritual power didn't give all humans superpowers. A large number of people with weaker physiques suffered mental breakdowns after being transformed by spiritual power because they couldn't withstand it. That was a true breakdown, with low intelligence and acting on instinct, not even as good as beasts. They were zombies. The key was that these zombies especially liked to eat humans after being transformed. The remaining humans were attacked from both sides, having to be wary of mutated members of their own race on one hand, and powerful demonic beasts on the other.
It's not that humans don't have the ability to fight back. No demonic beast can withstand destructive weapons like nuclear bombs, but nuclear bombs can't be used casually.
Back to the present, Huo Yuhao seemed extremely excited to have obtained a Shrek Academy admission spot.
Bei Bei smiled slightly. Huo Yuhao's performance was normal. Looking at the world, all soul masters are proud to be admitted to Shrek Academy. However, he then frowned and hesitated before saying, "Yuhao, in fact, twin martial souls can wait until one of the martial souls is fully ringed before adding high-year soul rings to the second martial soul. This is the biggest advantage of twin martial souls."
Huo Yuhao was slightly stunned, his thoughts racing, and he instantly understood the reason. Bei Bei thought that he was a twin martial soul, so he could absorb a soul ring with a lifespan of up to 3,200 years. Twin martial soul was indeed correct. Tianmeng Iceworm had already given Huo Yuhao a second martial soul, but he hadn't added a soul ring yet.
This is really a big misunderstanding. Of course, Huo Yuhao didn't intend to explain to Bei Bei. It's best if Bei Bei thinks this way, which will save him from making up reasons.
Huo Yuhao didn't say much, just smiled and nodded, "Big Brother Bei, Sister Xiaoya, you have been running around for a day and are tired. Go and rest, I'll keep watch tonight."
Bei Bei understood that he didn't want to talk more, but he could understand. Everyone has their own secrets. It was already a bit rude for him to be so blunt. Now that he saw that he didn't want to say more, he wisely shut up, "Okay, then thank you for your hard work. I'll replace you in the second half of the night."
He took out two tents from the storage ring, and then laid thick blankets inside. Two portable and simple tents could be installed.
Bei Bei, who had just entered the tent, smiled at Tang Ya who followed, and it was not difficult to guess what she wanted to say, "Xiaoya, you want to ask me why I didn't invite him to join the Tang Sect."
Tang Ya nodded and then shook her head again, "I understand, he is very vigilant. It is indeed inappropriate for us to invite him rashly, but have you ever thought about what will happen to him after he enters Shrek Academy? Those old guys are not blind, will they let him leave?"
It was not difficult to hear Tang Ya's prejudice against Shrek in her tone. Bei Bei couldn't help but frown, "Xiaoya, I know that the decline of the Tang Sect and the academy's inaction have made you resentful, but you also have to consider the academy. After all, the essence of the academy is just a school, a place to train talents. If you arbitrarily interfere in external affairs, what will the students in the academy think, and what will the empire think?"
"Don't interfere in external affairs? Then who was the commander of the three armies when the Sun Moon Continent collided and launched a war?" Tang Ya became more and more excited, and her emotions were obviously extremely unstable.
Listening to Tang Ya's unreasonable troubles, Bei Bei's face became serious, "Xiaoya, how can you be so unreasonable? If everyone doesn't exist, how can a small family exist? Do you know how many civilians have been displaced by the war, and how many soldiers have died on the battlefield? Everyone has parents and children who need to be taken care of. Do you know how many families have been spared from the separation of wives and children because of the Dean's action."
"Heh, isn't it clear who Shrek Academy's rise is because of? Now that the Tang Sect has fallen into such a state, the academy is indifferent, hehehe..." Tang Ya let out a self-deprecating laugh.
"These two things cannot be confused!"
"Enough, in your eyes, the academy is always right, I'm unreasonable, right." Listening to Bei Bei's almost accusatory words, Tang Ya couldn't bear it anymore and ran out directly.
"Xiaoya!" Bei Bei hurriedly chased out. Bei Bei, who had just run out, saw that Tang Ya hadn't run far, but was sitting by the fire, gnawing on grilled fish.
He didn't know when Huo Yuhao had grilled the fish again.
Slowly came to the fire, Bei Bei first showed an awkward smile to Huo Yuhao, and then sat next to Tang Ya.
Smart as Huo Yuhao, he immediately slipped aside, leaving the space to the two of them.
Not long after, Bei Bei, who had been scolded, returned to the tent with a bitter face. He really regretted it at this moment. Sure enough, it is the most unwise choice to reason with a woman when she is angry.
Huo Yuhao returned to the bonfire with a few fish that had been cleaned, and did not provoke Tang Ya, who was still angry, and continued to grill the fish honestly.
After a while, Huo Yuhao wrapped the grilled fish and put it in his backpack. There were still three grilled on the grill for Tang Ya. He was not sure if Tang Ya could still eat it. Anyway, Tang Ya's appetite at this time had already made Huo Yuhao numb. Perhaps this is the legendary turning grief into appetite.
"You heard it all, right? Why do you think some people only know how to ask for it, but don't know how to repay it?" A clear, melodious, and slightly hoarse voice sounded. I don't know if it was because of the food, but Tang Ya had calmed down at this time.
Tang Ya's words made Huo Yuhao silent. Tang Ya is still inexperienced and still fantasizing that Shrek will remember the old relationship, but Huo Yuhao knows that the relationship between forces is complicated, just like the relationship between countries. On the surface, they all support peace, but secretly stab each other in the back. Everything is because of interests.
The Tang Sect is in this situation now. The Tang Sect has no use value to Shrek. If it weren't for the sake of reputation, it is estimated that the Tang Sect would have been annexed by Shrek.
Huo Yuhao saw it very clearly, but these things naturally cannot be told to Tang Ya clearly. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Sister Xiaoya, I don't know what you are enduring. Instead of pinning your hopes on others, why don't you think about fighting for yourself? Looking at history, from the distant Three Gods battle ten thousand years ago to the war between the three countries on the mainland and the Sun Moon Empire thousands of years ago, the situation on the mainland and the fate of the people are all in the hands of those top powerhouses. Companions and background forces are secondary. It is very unrealistic to lead a group of sheep to defeat hungry wolves. Throughout history, it has always been individuals who achieve groups, not groups who create individuals. So, if there is anything unsatisfactory, it must be that we ourselves are not strong enough. Sister Xiaoya, what else can't you figure out?"
Tang Ya was speechless when she heard this. Huo Yuhao's words were easy to understand and made her wake up from her dream. I really went into a misunderstanding. I have always wanted to strengthen the Tang Sect and seek foreign aid, but I denied myself. Wasn't the founding ancestor relying on his own strength to support the entire Tang Sect? Why can't I be like the ancestor? Although I can't compare with the ancestor, I always have to work hard, at least that way I won't leave too many regrets.
Thinking of this, Tang Ya suddenly felt a lightness all over her body, as if she had unloaded an invisible shackle. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a beautiful arc. Tang Ya smiled at Huo Yuhao, "Thank you, little Yuhao. I didn't expect that I was not as transparent as a child like you."
"By the way, what are you doing grilling so many grilled fish?" Tang Ya, who had figured it out, became cheerful and lively again.
The latest and fastest novel is on Liǔ Jiǔ Shu Bá!
"Well, you'll know tomorrow." Huo Yuhao kept a certain mystery.
"Tch, still keeping it a secret!" Tang Ya curled her lips, got up, patted the dust off her clothes, and then got into her tent.
Huo Yuhao leaned against the tree, his thoughts empty. The words he said to Tang Ya just now seemed reasonable, but in fact they were definitely poisonous chicken soup. Just talking about the battle of the gods ten thousand years ago, when Tang San, who became the Sea God, joined forces with the Angel God Qian Renxue and the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong, Tang San had actually been killed by the two gods in the early stage. It was just that Ning Rongrong and Oscar, who had not yet achieved the position of God, joined forces to release the Resurrection Divine Light to resurrect him, which allowed Tang San to successfully turn the tables later.
So companions are also very important, unless you are so strong that no one can keep up with your pace, and Tang Ya is obviously not in this situation.
The next afternoon, the scorching sun was shining brightly. The surroundings were no longer lush forests. The wide road was densely populated with people and merchants gathered, and many of them could feel the soul power fluctuations on their bodies.
Huo Yuhao looked up, and in front of him was a majestic city. The high city walls stretched far to the left and right, and he couldn't see the end at a glance. Although it was not marked on the wide gate tower, the name of this city was known to everyone, Shrek City.
Shrek City is named after Shrek Academy, which is located here. It is one of the best cities in Douluo Continent. The population living here reaches more than two million, and the number of soul masters is much higher than other cities of the same level. This is not the point. The most special thing is that Shrek Academy has its own governance rights over this city. It does not need to pay taxes to any country, and the most inviolable thing is that Shrek City has its own independent city defense army, which is not subject to the control of any country and only obeys the orders of the high-level officials of Shrek Academy.
