--- Chapter 294 ---

"So full..." Ophis patted her flat stomach.

"Huo Yuhao is stuffing me with his meat too much."

"Ophis, phrasing!" Everyone stared at the Dragon God of Infinity with a weird look. 

Even though they knew Ophis didn't mean it, as she was ignorant in this field, they couldn't help but become suspicious every time. 

Of course, Ophis is genuinely ignorant.

"What?" She asked while tilting her head.

"Nothing..." 

"Oh, then. Yuhao, please stuff me again tomorrow!" 

"We take our words back. You're suspicious!"

Huo Yuhao chuckled at their banter and said, "Okay, stop fighting." 

"Ophis is just talking about food." 

"Am I right, Ophis?" 

"Mm." Ophis nodded innocently.

Huo Yuhao patted Ophis's head and added, "I will cook packed food for Ophis from now on. She shouldn't be hungry for a few years." 

"Oy, don't raise a flag!" Yae complained. "What's wrong with you? Don't mention a few years when talking about something." 

"Yeah, that's bad practice." Huang Yuna nodded.

"Even though you're the God of Fortune, it doesn't mean you are invincible from a jinxed situation. People say too much luck is a curse. Well, jinx was one of them." 

"Now you're making me afraid." Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched. Even then, he wasn't that worried. 

After the emergency quest, Evo guaranteed there wouldn't be a similar quest for another five to ten years. Huo Yuhao also needed to master many things first, starting from the classes and Heavenly Daos.

The class shouldn't be a problem because Huo Yuhao mastered four of six of them already, leaving only Netherworld Avenger and Pagma's Incarnation. 

"Oh, the second round is over. Only thirty-two teams were left." Someone commented. 

Huo Yuhao glanced at the screen and smiled a little, "They made it, huh?" 

"It seems my teachings aren't too shabby, after all." 

"They were lucky in the last match against enemies who used weak and low-level poison. They practically asked to be defeated by the Shrek Seven Devils I cultivated."

"Hmm, Liu Mei should be here at any moment." 

"Which one of you wanted to fight in the next round?" 

"Me! I want to fight!" Ophis excitedly raised her petite hand.

Huo Yuhao dumbly stared at the Dragon God of Infinity because she would blow Java Island apart, "Uh, is there anyone else who wants to fight?" 

"Me! Me!" Ophis bounced before Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao threw a tomahawk-cut steak to the grill, and Ophis was quickly distracted, leaving him alone. 

'So easy!' Everyone thought while looking at the petite dragon. 

Huang Qiu'er leaned on the sofa and murmured, "I want to fight again, but I have a fair share of experience from the Tower of Babylon. Teacher, why don't you fight?" 

"Me?" Huang Yuna pointed at herself with a sandwich in her other hand.

"No, no, no."

"Your teacher is too lazy to play around with those kids." 

"I'd rather laze around." 

"..." Huang Qiu'er. How come you pushed me that hard in training but this lazy yourself?

At first, Huang Qiu'er saw her teacher as if she were a devil. But no, she's worse than that. 

"Yae, why don't you fight those kids instead?" Huang Yuna munched on her sandwich. "At the very least, you should exercise with your new body, no?"

Yae snorted, "Fine." 

"I will show you something good later." 

"But I will bring Kunou with me." 

"This is a suitable time for her next training."

"Do you hear me, Kunou?" 

Kunou froze on the spot before sighing, "Yes, sensei!" 

"Good disciple." Yae nodded in satisfaction. 

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shake his head at their back-to-back pass of responsibility. If not for Ophis's lack of control over her fast-growing power, Huo Yuhao would let her fight anytime she wants.

'Maybe I should add more seals to Ophis's body?' Huo Yuhao patted his forehead.

Liu Mei knocked on the door and arrived with two familiar ladies.

"Oh, Hi Raikou, Robin." Huo Yuhao greeted them. "I didn't expect to meet you here."

Nico Robin smiled, "Nice to meet you too, Master." 

"Hi, honey~!" Raikou waved her hand at Huo Yuhao. 

Liu Mei coughed, "Ehem, I brought them in because their teams failed to pass the second round." 

"Eh?" Huo Yuhao gazed at Robin and Raikou in surprise. They awkwardly blushed. 

Nico Robin explained, "I made a team with Raikou and recruited some decent people from the Douluo Continent. However, we faced Vali, Tobio, Gabriel-san, and Grayfia-san in a row." 

"Yeah, that should do it." Huo Yuhao pitied their luck. Vali and Tobio shouldn't be a problem for Robin and Raikou, but Gabriel and Grayfia probably didn't show mercy to them.

Raikou pouted, "We entered the loser bracket but decided to give up on the tournament altogether. It wasn't worth fighting because Grayfia-san and Gabriel-san love you too much, honey." 

"Is that supposed to be my fault?" Huo Yuhao was speechless.

"Well, I can't blame you for it. Grayfia-san and Gabriel-san are, how to say it, a maniac for you." Raikou sighed while sitting on an empty seat. 

"What makes them more maniac is their power to create an army." 

"If you wanted to, you could conquer the Douluo Continent with them alone. No, that would be overkill still. You can ask for Gabriel-san's assistance alone." 

"Anyway, I'm hungry." The voluptuous woman swayed her body sensually.

"Please feed me food." 

"We are celebrating something with BBQ." Huo Yuhao pointed at the grill behind him. "Go sit beside Qiu'er and eat your fill." 

"You too, Robin." 

"Then, pardon my intrusion." Robin giggled while dragging Raikou to the BBQ.

Huo Yuhao moved his gaze to Liu Mei, "How was the situation?" 

Liu Mei clicked her tablet and reported, "The second round is doing wonderfully." 

"Tomorrow, we can start the third round." 

"Have you thought about the seeded match, Master?" 

"Yae and Kunou will represent the Dragon Nest." Huo Yuhao replied casually.

Liu Mei noted the answer and asked again, "Okay, what about the matchmaking arrangement?" 

Huo Yuhao pondered for a bit before answering, "Random." 

"Actually, no... Let the weaker teams fight against each other first." 

Liu Mei raised her brows but still nodded at Huo Yuhao's words because he must have reason.

"Master, about the Divine Will." 

"I believe a God has descended a moment ago, right?" 

"Yeah. Don't worry. I've already dealt with that fellow." Huo Yuhao waved his hand carefreely. "You only have to focus on the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament for now." 

"Wait, have you condensed your godhood, Mei?" 

Liu Mei bitterly smiled, "As much as I wanted to, I was busy handling the Dragon Nest's matters, and the universal laws weren't so kind on human ascending godhood." 

"Okay then, you will follow me to the Pirate World later." Huo Yuhao put the Queen of Thunder on the priority list. "The universal laws there are very lacking." 

"Thank you, Master." Liu Mei was grateful.

Huo Yuhao patted Liu Mei gently and returned, "No, you deserved this, Mei." 

"Thank you for the hard work all these months."

"The way I developed my godhood is different. However, you can ask Murong Qianxue for instructions on developing your divinity." 

"Mm." 

After that, Liu Mei left and dealt with the contestant who passed the second round. And many noticed the Queen of Thunder was in a good mood today.

Huo Yuhao gazed at the ceiling, more precisely, the darkening sky, and mumbled, "I should start putting an Anti-Divine Barrier around the Douluo Planet." 

"Giana, use the satellite to deploy barrier no.7." He decisively tapped his smartwatch.

"Okey, dokey~!" Giana's adorable voice rang from the watch.

Outside the Douluo Planet, a satellite orbited the planet and suddenly ejected a piece of black metal. 

The black metal expanded into a needle-shaped instrument that released a gentle purple light, shielding the Douluo Planet from external influence. 

As the satellite moved around the planet, several more black metals ejected and layered the Douluo Planet with several barriers. 

"Anti-Divine Barrier deployed." 

"Energy consumption, 0,009%."

"Radiation Level, 1,78%." 

"Mission completed!" Giana's crisp voice echoed in the silent space.
