Chapter 79: 1st Main Quest: World Travel
--- Chapter 79 ---
After the commotion, Huo Yuhao and Yan Shaozhe faced each other in Housing Dorm no 14's living room. It seemed Shrek Academy was troubled by this event.
"So, what are you doing here, Dean Yan?"
Huo Yuhao smiled at the Dean of Shrek Academy because of the commotion Qianye Ying'er had caused 30 minutes ago, which sparked a sensation inside the Academy.
After all, Dragon Nest declared war against Qianye Clan and Sihan Sect, despite doing it with unorthodox disrespect. And Qianye Ying'er also crippled the Sihan Sect's successor without mercy.
"Aih... You're gone for five, no six days at this point. And created a problematic move." Yan Shaozhe sighed while rubbing his forehead.
Huo Yuhao shrugged and returned, "It's not like Shrek Academy was involved, no? From what I know, you have warned Qianye Clan's representatives not to create a problem with us, and this is our answer."
"To begin with, It's their fault for harassing our students." An evil smirk appeared on Huo Yuhao's face because he could use this to make the Qianye Clan and Sihan Sect look even worse than now.
Yan Shaozhe shook his head and continued, "Also, are you sure about the Qianye Ying'er declaration? Even though I know Dragon Nest was strong with your standard and people like the Queen of Thunder and Ice Demoness, Qianye Clan and Sihan Sect are still formidable forces."
"HAHAHA~!!"
Huo Yuhao couldn't hold his laughter and slapped the sofa continuously for a few seconds. Yan Shaozhe's statements sounded so funny in his ears because Qianye Clan and Sihan Sect couldn't do anything to the Dragon Nest. They only have to send two or three God Slayers to wipe them out later.
"Why did you laugh?" Yan Shaozhe frowned slightly. "Qianye Clan and Sihan Sect combined have at least 7 Title Douluos. They are well-known on the Douluo Continent and respected by factions like the Sun and Moon Empire."
"And?" Huo Yuhao casually leaned on the sofa.
"What can they do?"
"Dean Yan, let me tell you something."
"Dragon Nest would never lose against them." He walked toward Yan Shaoze and patted his shoulders. "Since you know Liu Mei, imagine 50 of her against the combination of Qianye Clan and Sihan Sect. Who do you think will win?"
Yan Shaozhe was speechless when hearing the young man's analogy but immediately became solemn after imagining fifty Queens of Thunder in the sky, creating massive destruction on the Douluo Continent.
He wanted to confirm something and questioned, "A-Are you implying that Dragon Nest possessed such firepower?"
"Hehe, Who knows~?" Huo Yuhao cheekily answered with a chuckle.
"..." Yan Shaozhe.
...
...
With a protein bar in his hand, Huo Yuhao yawned and watched Yan Shaozhe return to Sea God Island to share this news with other Sea God Pavilion members.
"Evo, I wanted to ask something..."
[What is it, Host?] Evo responded with the usual monotonous tone.
Huo Yuhao leaned on the door frame and asked, "Is there a time difference between Douluo Dalu and Highschool DxD's World?"
[The world of Highschool DxD naturally has a faster time than Douluo Dalu's Universe. Still, not by much]
[2 years in there equal to 6 months in the Douluo Dalu]
"Thanks for the information, Evo." Huo Yuhao smiled while chewing on his protein bar.
After confirming the time dilation with Evo's help, Huo Yuhao told everyone through Giana about it. They are delighted to know the World Conquering Mission won't take two years in real time because everyone has their agenda. And Dragon Nest also doesn't have to worry about losing power for too long.
[You have two hours left before the Main Quest]
Huo Yuhao nodded and said, "Giana."
"Yes, Master~?" A small Giana appeared on Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
"Tell everyone to gear up."
"Okey, Dokey~! SIR~!"
Giana spread her data and reached the Black Box under the Dragon Nest's headquarters, Trisakti. She quickly computed Huo Yuhao's orders and sent them to people who were part of the World Conquering Group. Over a hundred pings simultaneously echoed inside Advalon, and everyone smiled because it was the moment.
Huo Yuhao finished his protein and saw a fiery lady approaching Housing Dorm No.14 from the Sea God Lake. It was Ma Xiaotao with a worried look on her face.
"YUHAO~!" She yelled across the road and ran toward Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao stepped inside the dorm and waited for Ma Xiaotao to reach him. As she stepped on the doormat, he shut the wooden door and heard a crashing noise on the other side.
"Uugh..."
"H-How could you slam a door on me..."
Ma Xiaotao dropped to the floor and rubbed a red mark on her forehead. She pouted at Huo Yuhao adorably and crossed her arm, refusing to lift her body from this place until he sincerely apologized.
"Hmph! I won't leave until you say sorry!"
[Name: Ma Xiaotao]
[Age: 23]
[Race: Human, Young Fire Phoenix]
[Cultivation: 77/Soul King(Reabsorbing Spirit Rings)]
[Martial Soul: Fire Phoenix Empress(+5)]
[Description: A young phoenix lady with deep fascination over a mysterious blue-haired boy]
"Sorry, Senior Xiaotao. I thought a weirdo was running toward our dorm with ill intention." Huo Yuhao spoke sincerely.
"Accepted." Ma Xioatao nodded her head like a chick.
"Wait, are you telling me that I was a weirdo??"
He offered his right hand to lift her and returned, "Of course, Not. Who would be dumb enough to call a beautiful Senior Sister like you a weirdo?"
Ma Xiaotao felt happy inside when hearing Huo Yuhao's answer and pulled herself up with Huo Yuhao's help. She returned to her feet and looked around Housing Dorm.14 with a wary look.
"Yang Xin is not here, right..?" She asked with a whisper.
Huo Yuhao lifted his index finger and caught Ma Xiaotao's attention as he drew it to the upper floor. The redhead's face becomes pale when sensing a familiar presence that jumps off the balcony.
"Oh no..."
"Well, you look healthier than six days ago. And definitely become stronger." Scathach commented while walking to Ma Xiaotao. "I bet you're running excitedly here to be trained again by me."
"Right?"
Ma Xiaotao shook her head and responded, "U-Um. Actually."
However, it was too late because from what Huo Yuhao knew after learning under the god slayer for six years. Scathach takes no for an answer when asking her student about training.
"Right??" Scathach grasped Ma Xiaotao's shoulders firmly and stared at her ruby-like eyes.
Ma Xiaotao trembled and whispered with a stutter, "Y-Yes..."
"S-Save me, YUHAO!!"
"Good Luck, Senior Xiaotao." Huo Yuhao casually waved his hand and watched Scathach dragging Ma Xiaotao away to the backyard.
One hour later, Scathach returned to the dorm with a satisfied smile. Even though her clone would supervise Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong's training for the next six months, she still needed slight amusement before going to another world.
"Poor Xiaotao." Huo Yuhao smiled at Scathach.
"You pushed her to the second stage already?"
Scathach smiled back and replied, "Her nature as Fire Phoenix makes the training more effective. Even though she doesn't have extreme adaptability and talents in some fields, Ma Xiaotao should be able to catch up with Dragon Nest Academy's Advanced Division in six months."
"This also applies to Xiao Xiao. As for Wang Dong, she's a special case because of her origin."
"Certainly. What a waste of talent." Huo Yuhao commented with a chuckle.
...
...
One hour and forty-five minutes later.
Dragon Nest's Secret Base, Shadow Rose Garden.
Huo Yuhao, Qianye Ying'er, and Scathach arrived at the Shadow Rose Garden and "politely." were welcomed by several people who were part of the World Conquering Mission. And they could see Huo Yun'er waving her hand at them from afar.
"Oh god, you are finally here." Xiao Chen walked out of the crowd with a marked silver box filled with devices from his research.
[Name: Multi-Functional Workshop]
[Type: Item]
[Grade: SS+]
[Description: Multi-Functional Workshop is a device created by Xiao Chen using Self-Created Compounds, a vast storage room enchanted with Expansion Rune to bring all his tools]
Huo Yuhao glanced at the marked silver box and said, "Oh, I see you bringing big guns for this mission."
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and answered, "Who do you think I am, Young lord? As the number one Spirit Engineer, how could I bring all my tools to Another World."
"Just imagine how many rare and unknown materials I could obtain there?!"
'You'll be disappointed, Xiao Chen.' Huo Yuhao thought this because he believed Highschool DxD doesn't possess that many rare materials compared to Douluo Dalu. He gazed at everyone and explained a few more things about Highschool DxD's world since they would need to stay alert.
"Everyone, listen to me."
"When we arrive at the Highschool DxD, I want you to stay calm and collected. Also, Do not separate yourself from the group."
Everyone nodded when hearing Huo Yuhao's warning, waiting for the mission to get started by him. Huo Yuhao glanced at the system panel near him.

[Initiating the Main Quest]
A bright light covered everyone on the field, and Huo Yuhao closed his eyes, feeling the shift in space around him. He slowly opened his mouth and saw a barren land with many living beings.
[Error?!] Evo's monotonous voice sounded somewhat confused.
[Dimensional Conqueror(Passive) prevented the system from teleporting the Host correctly]
[Please wait for 15 minutes]
ROAR! ROAR!
BOOM!
A Red Dragon and a White Dragon fought against each other on the battlefield, roaring against Angels, Fallen angels, and Devils there.
[Red Dragon Emperor]
[White Dragon Emperor]
"Are you kidding me??" Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched in disbelief.
