Chapter 468: Captain Huo Speaks Bluntly
At that moment, a beautiful female reporter approached. She was affiliated with the Sun Moon Imperial Family, granting her unrestricted access to the rest area. Beside her, a crew member carried a soul tool recording screen on his back.
Compared to the Three Douluo Empires and Shrek Academy, the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool technology was far more advanced.
As a result, the soul tool broadcasting industry was thriving.
Many Sun Moon citizens now had devices similar to televisions from Huo Yuhao's past life, and the Sun Moon government had even developed a specialized team of journalists who used soul tool recording screens.
As soon as Sun Moon Academy won the championship, following the Prime Minister's orders on behalf of Regent Xu Tianran, the reporter immediately rushed to interview the winning team.
After all, this was the champion team and the best interview candidate was undoubtedly Huo Yuhao.
He had single handedly defeated six members of the Holy Spirit Sect's team, proving himself a peerless genius and making an outstanding contribution to Sun Moon's victory.
She walked directly up to Huo Yuhao and asked,
"Mr. Huo Yuhao, I am a reporter from the Sun Moon Empire. May I have the opportunity to interview you?
This interview will be recorded and broadcasted, then distributed across the entire Douluo Continent for everyone to see."
Huo Yuhao considered for a moment.
Accepting the interview could expand his influence, which would also help in gathering faith power.
Additionally, it would deal another blow to Shrek Academy's reputation.
Seeing the benefits, he nodded and agreed to the reporter's request.
The reporter signaled to the cameraman, who immediately started recording.
Huo Yuhao's Analysis: Why Did Shrek Fail?
The reporter began her questions:
"Captain Huo, Sun Moon Academy has successfully defended its championship title. Meanwhile, the renowned Shrek Academy suffered a disastrous performance, being eliminated in the quarterfinals.
As far as I know, Shrek Academy was the earliest team to start preparing for this tournament. Can you analyze the reasons behind Shrek's decline?
And, of course, we'd also love to hear your thoughts on why Sun Moon Academy won the championship."
Huo Yuhao paused briefly before responding.
"This reporter came prepared," he thought.
For the Sun Moon Empire, both domestic and international propaganda needed to completely shatter Shrek Academy's perfect image.
For him personally, damaging Shrek's reputation would make it easier to establish a new faith for the people.
Of course, Shrek Academy was never truly perfect.
There was no need to spread false rumors just stating the facts was enough to expose all of Shrek's flaws.
However, in both the Three Douluo Empires and the Sun Moon Empire, there were still many blind believers of Shrek Academy.
Even after multiple scandals, Shrek's reputation had declined, yet some die hard fans still clung to their faith.
That needed to change.
Huo Yuhao spoke seriously,
"Tell me, how many different team leaders has Shrek Academy had over the last two tournaments?
Did they actually change anything? No. It's just the same system under a different name!"
"In the last tournament, the so called team leader was Wang Yan. But in reality, he was just a low level teacher. He never had the authority that Xuan Zi had!
In truth, Xuan Zi was the actual leader. And what did he do? He made a series of absurd decisions including cheating which ultimately forced Shrek Academy to withdraw from the competition."
"As for this year's tournament, Shrek Academy sent a large group of coaches. At first glance, it seemed like a change but in reality, it wasn't.
Xuan Zi was still one of their team leaders, and he personally attacked the Snow Demon Sect's residence.
By his own admission, after dealing with Snow Demon Sect, he planned to attack any other team that might threaten Shrek Academy's victory."
"In other words, this was a form of cheating!"
"I seriously suspect that cheating has become deeply ingrained in Shrek Academy's culture.
Otherwise, why would a Rank 98 Super Douluo have nothing but cheating on his mind?"
"I firmly believe that this obsession with cheating played a major role in Shrek Academy's elimination in the last tournament and their failure to reach the semifinals this time."
"A team that considers cheating part of their strength is bound to collapse once their methods are exposed!"
Even in the original story, both Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were obsessed with victory at any cost.
To them, cheating was simply another strategy a legitimate part of their strength.
Especially Huo Yuhao's original counterpart.
He had once been a good hearted boy, solely focused on avenging his mother.
But after years of Shrek Academy's and the Tang Sect's indoctrination, he willingly embraced cheating to win matches.
"Environment shapes a person," Huo Yuhao thought.
Sun Moon's Success: The Key to Victory
He continued,
"As for why Sun Moon Academy won, I can explain that too.
Our team is composed of highly skilled individuals.
Every single team member has a solid foundation.
And most importantly
We all believe that cheating is wrong.
Because of this, we fought with our full strength in every match.
That's how we defeated Shrek.
That's how we defeated the Tang Sect.
That's how we defeated the Holy Spirit Sect.
Now, there's no one left to defeat."
Of course, Huo Yuhao knew that he was the biggest reason Sun Moon Academy won.
But as the team captain, and in front of the cameras, he couldn't brag about himself.
Instead, he had to emphasize the team's role.
A Final Warning to Shrek Academy
The reporter pressed on,
"Considering how frequently Shrek Academy has cheated in the past two tournaments, do you think it's possible that they've been cheating for many years?"
"What advice would you give to Shrek Academy?"
Huo Yuhao sighed deeply, then spoke with righteous indignation,
"I urge Shrek Academy to first figure out their own strategies and philosophies.
Focus on actual training.
Stop trying to cheat!"
"Cheating is an insult to the tournament's rules!"
"Why not play fair? Why resort to shady tactics?"
"Shrek Academy recruits elite students from Star Luo, Tianhun, and Dou Ling.
With their resources, they could easily train powerful competitors."
"There's no need to walk such a crooked path."
The reporter nodded.
"Thank you for your time, Captain Huo."
The Broadcast Begins
The cameraman stopped recording and prepared the broadcasting soul tools.
Once everything was set up, he signaled the host.
When the light screen lit up again, the male host appeared onscreen and announced:
"Sun Moon Academy has defeated the Holy Spirit Sect and successfully defended its championship title!
This legendary victory will undoubtedly become the hottest topic across the Douluo Continent."
"Captain Huo Yuhao shared his thoughts on why Shrek Academy has fallen so far and why Sun Moon Academy has risen to the top."
"And in his usual blunt style, Captain Huo did not hold back declaring that Shrek Academy has completely disgraced itself!"
The screen shifted to the footage of Huo Yuhao's interview, broadcasting it to the entire continent.
