"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.
"Did I say something wrong?"
"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.
"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.
