Douluo Dalu: Double Comparisons, This Yuhao Is Too Cruel!

DD2-Chapter 389: Knowing the Truth! Zhang Lexuan Recognizes Her Relatives!

[With a sudden attack from the Title Douluo of the three empires, Beibei's head was chopped off.]

[All the Shrek Academy members, who had previously been restless, fell silent.]

[The reason for this sudden hush was not only because of their fear of the formidable strength of the three Titled Douluo.]

[It was also because they had heard the shocking statements made by the three; it turned out that Mu En was dead! All the senior executives of Shrek Academy were also dead! And now, Huo Yuhao has become a god.]

[In this case, Shrek Academy was utterly defenseless—a lamb to the slaughter!]

[They had been reluctant to resist before, choosing to break their ties with Shrek Academy.]

[However, after hearing the words of the Title Douluo, that sentiment shifted dramatically.]

[They quickly rose to express their intentions.]

["From today onward, I, Du Weilun, will withdraw from Shrek Academy!" ]

["From today onward, I, Wang Yan, will withdraw from Shrek Academy!" ]

["."]

[One by one, teachers and students of Shrek Academy continued to drop out.]

[This only worsened the already disintegrating situation of Shrek Academy.]

[Before long, the entire Shrek Academy was completely dismantled.]

[With everyone withdrawing, what remained was merely an empty shell of a once-great academy.]

[Consequently, the three empires immediately sealed off the academy and transferred its final fate to Huo Yuhao of the Body Sect.]

[Deep down, they understood who the real power was.]

[The real mastermind was not them but Huo Yuhao, who orchestrated the recent events.]

[Having learned from the previous experiences with Shrek Academy, they dared not act recklessly. The decision regarding how to handle the assets of Shrek Academy was entrusted to Huo Yuhao.]

---

And in the gap between the planes, the soul masters could not contain their excitement upon witnessing this outcome. 

In fact, before this, it had been evident that the soul masters in the gap had wished for Shrek Academy's downfall.

Thus, the destruction of Shrek Academy filled them with joy.

They quickly redirected the conversation back to Tang San.

One by one, they began to chat animatedly:

"Finally, Shrek Academy has been destroyed. The next target to address is Tang San, who is currently in the God Realm."

"But dealing with Tang San may not be as straightforward as dealing with Shrek Academy. After all, Tang San now resides in the God Realm, and his strength is undoubtedly far superior to that of those from Shrek Academy."

"What are you worried about? Huo Yuhao is exceptionally powerful now. Even if he can't take down Tang San immediately, he will surely be able to conquer him given time to develop further."

"We just need a bit more time."

After their discussion, all eyes gravitated toward the screen.

---

[On the screen, Huo Yuhao did not show any interest in the assets of Shrek Academy.]

[His goal had never been to expand his influence or to rule the Douluo Continent.]

[The reason for addressing Shrek Academy was merely that they had crossed his line.]

[Mostly, he was not particularly interested in rights and power.]

[When the emperors of the four empires personally asked if he intended to incorporate Shrek Academy into the territory of the Body Sect, Huo Yuhao flatly refused.]

[He no longer wanted to concern himself with Shrek Academy; that chapter was closed.]

[Now, he needed to focus on strengthening himself in pursuit of ascending to the God Realm.]

[He left the four empires to manage the destiny of Shrek Academy.]

[The four empires were grateful for this decision.]

[Next, Huo Yuhao planned to make his way to the Star Dou Great Forest to find the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.]

[However, unexpectedly, a figure who surprised him arrived at the Body Sect.]

[It was Zhang Lexuan.]

[Huo Yuhao, while surprised by Zhang Lexuan's visit, was now at the pinnacle of the God King level, possessing omniscience.]

[As long as he desired, he could perform calculations at will. Nothing within the realm of Douluo could remain hidden from him.]

[In no time, he realized the purpose of Zhang Lexuan's visit and even uncovered a secret during his calculations regarding her.]

["Interesting, really interesting," he remarked. "Let's deal with Zhang Lexuan's matters first before heading to the Star Dou Great Forest." ]

[He summoned Zhang Lexuan directly.]

---

In the gap between the planes, all the soul masters were filled with curiosity.

They all wanted to know what Huo Yuhao in the parallel world had just deduced.

At that moment, all eyes were glued to the screen.

[On the screen, when Huo Yuhao met Zhang Lexuan, she exhibited hostility.]

[Huo Yuhao was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Although he had advocated for the destruction of Shrek, it was rooted in his belief that the academy no longer needed to exist. He did not attack the other individuals associated with Shrek Academy.]

[As for Mu En and others, they had deserved their fate.]

[Huo Yuhao maintained this calm demeanor even while addressing Zhang Lexuan.]

[In fact, he appeared quite gentle.]

[He smiled and addressed Zhang Lexuan: "I already know your intention."]

[After speaking, he flicked his finger, sending a droplet of water toward Zhang Lexuan.]

[Regarding the unexpected scene, Zhang Lexuan was filled with doubts. Huo Yuhao explained directly: "Crush it, and then you will understand everything."]

[Zhang Lexuan hesitated for a moment but ultimately complied.]

[After crushing the droplet, everything that had transpired that day flooded Zhang Lexuan's mind.]

[Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao sat calmly drinking tea, waiting for Zhang Lexuan in silence.]

[As Zhang Lexuan saw the events unfold that day, her expression gradually darkened.]

[For what Mu En and the other senior officials from Shrek Academy did on that day was truly unacceptable.]

[Upon reaching the Body Sect, they had conducted a massacre without justification, killing every disciple within the sect.]

[In the end, they stooped to the despicable act of kidnapping Huo Yuhao's mother.]

[Even though Zhang Lexuan was part of Shrek, witnessing such events left her looking at these Shrek Academy officials with disdain for the first time.]

[Zhang Lexuan also observed Huo Yuhao in his confrontation with Mu En.]

[Bearing witness to this event, however, Zhang Lexuan's emotions were no longer clear.]

[Logically, as a member of Shrek Academy, she should have harbored anger toward Huo Yuhao, given that Mu En had saved her life.]

[Yet Zhang Lexuan, a person adept at distinguishing right from wrong, couldn't find it within herself to harbor hatred for Huo Yuhao.]

[At this moment, Zhang Lexuan's expression shifted into one of deep conflict.]

["How about it—do you still hate me now?" Huo Yuhao asked Zhang Lexuan with a faint smile.]

[When he witnessed the turmoil on her face, he added, "Since our paths are so intertwined, let me share something more with you."]

["I happened upon this information."]

["You're fortunate to have met me; otherwise, you might have remained in ignorance for all your life." Huo Yuhao smiled.]

[Zhang Lexuan was filled with confusion, unsure of Huo Yuhao's implications.]

[So she quickly pressed him, "What are you talking about?"]

[Huo Yuhao quickly replied, "You'll understand soon."]

[He then employed the same method again—flicking his finger to send another droplet of water toward Zhang Lexuan.]

[Zhang Lexuan caught the droplet swiftly; having used it before, she was well aware of its purpose. Without waiting for further instructions from Huo Yuhao, she directly examined its contents.]

[Upon viewing it, her expression shifted drastically.]

[For she recognized it as a picture from her childhood!]

[In that picture, she discovered that Mu En had first laid eyes on her when she was just six years old.]

[At that time, Mu En had already been eyeing her for a long while.]

[Realizing Zhang Lexuan's potential, Mu En had sought to take her as his apprentice and had requested her parents.]

[However, Zhang Lexuan's parents refused, coming from the Sun Moon Empire and having come to Douluo Continent for business. They believed that even if she were to attend school, Zhang Lexuan would eventually have to return to the Sun Moon Empire.]

[Little did they know that Mu En would end up enraged.]

[Thus, he orchestrated that assassination!]

[He sent people from Shrek Academy to impersonate evil soul masters and directly murdered Zhang Lexuan's parents.]

[Moreover, he deliberately allowed Zhang Lexuan to escape, pretending not to notice her hiding under the bed.]

[But how could they possibly be unaware? If they truly intended to kill Zhang Lexuan, being soul masters, they would easily sense her presence.]

[They completed their objective and retreated, at which point Mu En appeared.]

[Feigning heroism, he "rescued" Zhang Lexuan.]

[To further bind Zhang Lexuan to Shrek Academy, he even coerced her into promising to marry Beibei in the future!]

[That was where the vision Zhang Lexuan experienced concluded.]

[However, after uncovering the entirety of the truth, her complexion turned ghostly pale.]

[She had never imagined that the reality was this twisted.]

[Even worse, she had unwittingly been serving her enemies all these years.]

[Feeling despondent, Zhang Lexuan found herself lost for direction.]

[With her parents gone and the revelation that Shrek Academy and Mu En, the figure she had looked up to for many years, were her foes, she felt utterly hopeless.]

[Zhang Lexuan was at a loss for what to do next.]

[In a moment of impulsivity, she reached for her forehead, contemplating suicide.]

[However, Huo Yuhao simply snapped his fingers and halted Zhang Lexuan's actions. "Don't be hasty. What's the point of seeking death?"]

[With her heart broken, Zhang Lexuan shook her head, murmuring, "My life holds no meaning."]

[Huo Yuhao smiled softly. "Just wait a little longer."]

["Someone should be arriving soon."]

[Though filled with uncertainty, Zhang Lexuan recognized Huo Yuhao's incredible power and omniscience. Thus, after hearing his words, she refrained from acting impulsively and remained obediently in place.]

[Not long later, an elderly man approached the Body Sect.]

[Upon arriving in front of Huo Yuhao, the old man bowed respectfully and excitedly addressed him, "Master Yuhao, this is..."]

[Huo Yuhao nodded, saying, "Yes."]

[He then turned to leave, stating, "The next event is in your hands. I have other matters to attend to."]

[With that, Huo Yuhao disappeared.]

[Zhang Lexuan, still filled with confusion, looked at the elderly man before her and inquired, "Who are you?"]

[Kong Deming replied, "Kong Deming, yes, your grandpa."]

[Zhang Lexuan was shocked to hear this, exclaiming, "Grandpa? How… how is this possible?"]

[Kong Deming produced a photo album and handed it to Zhang Lexuan. Upon seeing many of the photos within, she was utterly astounded.]

["This is..."]
