Peerless: Gu Master Transforms Douluo.

Chapter 292 Baby Shark's Gratitude (4k)

Just as Huo Yuhao continued to replicate the core technology of the mecha and picked up rare metals everywhere, a roar came from above.

"Damn bastard!"

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly.

It seems that the original Soul Douluo also reacted after he went out.

After all, the real sect leader Du Bushi was still fighting outside and had no time to go down and retrieve the hundred thousand year soul beast embryo.

But, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.

Although he lost the precious mission item, he saved his life.

This should be much better than the ending in the original novel where the character died from the Xue Di's ultra-low temperature freezing and Huo Gua's dark gold claws.

As for the other party's move to return here to look for the murderer behind the scenes, Huo Yuhao was also happy to see it happen.

With his current strength, as long as he doesn't want to, even a Titled Douluo can't find his exact whereabouts.

Therefore, even if this Soul Douluo dug three feet into the ground, he could only find the aura of the undead that Huo Yuhao deliberately left behind.

Holy Spirit Church, you guys should just take the blame.

After all, he controls the life of the second elder of the Holy Spirit Church. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is a non-staff member of the Holy Spirit Church, right?
This is the flexible camp workaround.

The fierce melee above continued.

Huo Yuhao finished the replication quickly and began to observe the current situation.

At this moment, the entire underground base was in a mess, and less than one-fifth of the laboratory tables were still intact.

The loss of Mingdetang is so great that it can no longer be measured in terms of money.

This is actually another main purpose of the Body Sect's action this time.

As long as they can weaken Mingdetang's strength, they will make huge profits.

Jing Hongchen's face was extremely ashen. With his shrewdness, he guessed the purpose of Du Bushi, the hanged man, shortly after the fight.

But he was completely unable to spare the time to return to help.

Du Bu Si, a level 98 Super Douluo with three hundred thousand year spirit rings, is now close to the combat power of Ultimate Douluo.

Jing Hongchen only relies on a powerful ninth-level soul guide device. In terms of real strength, he is far behind Du Bu Si.

If Du Bu Si was not afraid of the collapse of the entire underground world and the impact on other members of the Body Sect, if he used all his strength, I'm afraid that at least half of the Mingde Hall strongmen here would be reduced.

Overwhelming red light continued to emanate from Jing Hongchen.

Opposite him, Du Bu Si was surrounded by green poisonous cloud, and the dark green light gathered in the air into a big hand, defending with ease.

Now he only needs to hold back the main force of Mingdetang.

For today's sneak attack, their Body Sect was not only fully prepared, but had also rehearsed it countless times, so it could be said to be foolproof.

However, Mingde Hall is not a place to stay for long.

As time goes by, support from other parts of the Sun and Moon Empire will arrive soon.

They just need to wait until their men who dug the tunnel in secret successfully get the 100,000-year-old embryo, and then they can withdraw.

Suddenly, an anxious soul power voice came:

"Master, something terrible has happened! The soul beast embryo has been snatched away by an evil soul master!"

"What did you say!?"

Du Bu Si's expression changed, and following the fluctuations of his soul power, he saw his uneasy subordinates, and his heart finally settled down.

But at this moment, he had no time to think about it.

"withdraw."

Du Bu Si roared wildly and activated his martial soul with all his strength. A strong dark green light suddenly became brighter, and the poisonous cloud spread towards Jing Hongchen and others like a huge wave.

Under his cover, the strong men of the Body Sect quickly retreated back to the tunnel, and at the same time did not forget to take away the bodies of their companions who died in the battle.

As for the senior soul masters led by Jing Hongchen, they worked together to stop Du Bu Si's final poison cloud counterattack.

"Start rescue immediately."

Jing Hongchen roared angrily, but could only watch with resentment as the people from the Benti Sect retreated smoothly.

If it weren't for the fact that Master Kong was in seclusion for some business, this matter would never have been let go.

He did not act on impulse. After all, one should not pursue a desperate enemy. No one knew whether this group of cunning strong men from the Body Sect would set up an ambush outside.

At this moment, the underground base was already in a state of disrepair.

Especially because of the impact of the previous intense fighting, the terrain in this area is extremely unstable, and we must hurry to reinforce the underground base.

The most urgent task is to confirm the laboratory losses of Mingdetang.

Even with Jing Hongchen's status in the Sun and Moon Empire, he is responsible for such a big accident and must bear the enormous pressure from the royal family.

Especially Subject No. 1, he must not be allowed to fail!

This is the highest achievement of the entire Mingde Hall. Although it is only a semi-finished product, it is equivalent to the crystallization of the Sun and Moon Empire in soul guides for thousands of years!

Although he was to blame for the sneak attack on Mingde Hall that caused heavy losses, he was still able to suppress it with his prestige.

If the experimental subject No. 1 was stolen, even as the head of Mingde Hall, he could not afford it. This was a major event that concerned the safety of the entire country!

After giving some instructions to Lin Jiayi, Jing Hongchen rushed to Laboratory No. 1 in a hurry.

Lin Jiayi immediately called together the uninjured members to start rescuing the wounded, while also calculating Mingdetang's losses in this battle.

……

"What happened? Why did the soul beast embryo get lost? And what about the evil soul master?"

After leaving Mingde Hall, Du Bu Si asked three fatal questions.

Just like a primary school student being questioned by a strict teacher, the two-armed martial soul soul douluo who had just cowered like a quail and pretended to be dead could only explain everything.

From when he successfully obtained the soul beast embryo, to when he was deceived by a soul master who pretended to be the sect master and the soul beast embryo was taken away, to the final discovery of the traces of the evil soul master.

"It must have been done by an evil soul master!"

Looking at his Soul Douluo colleague who pointed his right hand to the sky, everyone in the Body Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.

"An evil soul master pretending to be me? I know who this bastard is!"

Du Bu Si's face turned cold, and he spat unhappily, continuing: "That ballless thing must be from the Holy Spirit Church!"

"Holy Spirit Cult?"

Everyone in the Body Sect had different expressions, and then expressed their understanding.

Birds of a feather flock together. After all, this is the Sun-Moon Empire. Who knows, they might be secretly doing something shady with the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Church.

It’s a pity to waste the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo.

But it's lost, and the sect leader doesn't intend to blame me anyway.

As long as Mingdetang is disgusted, it's not a loss.

……

"Noumenon Sect! Poison will not kill you!!"

Jing Hongchen's eyes were spitting fire and he became angrier the more he thought about it.

Since its establishment, Mingdetang has never suffered such a heavy blow. Not to mention the casualties, even the loss of soul guides is an astronomical figure.

Especially the loss of the 100,000-year soul beast embryo that he had specially bought to leave for his grandson's future use really made his heart bleed.

It’s not that I feel sorry for the 150 million.

But such a rare opportunity was missed.

Lin Jiayi came to Jing Hongchen.

"How's the situation?"

Jing Hongchen tried his best to calm himself down.

Lin Jiayi lowered his head and said: "The situation at the warehouse is fine, all the high-level soul guides are there..."

After listening to his detailed report, Jing Hongchen also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the purpose of the Body Sect's surprise attack with all its strength this time was just to get the hundred thousand year soul beast embryo.

As for the loss of numerous rare metals and starlight sapphire storage soul guides, it was just a drop in the bucket.

The uneducated Benti Sect has no idea what the core secrets of Mingde Hall are!
As long as Subject No. 1 is not lost, it will be fine.

"Jiayi, pass on my order. Everyone present today must keep their mouths shut."

"In the name of Mingde Hall, we will issue a killing mission to all mercenary guilds and assassin guilds, and offer a high reward for the heads of all members of the Benti Sect."

Having said this, Jing Hongchen paused and continued:
"Enter emergency mobilization status and repair the underground base as soon as possible at all costs. I don't want Mingde Hall's defense to have any blind spots again. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Lin Jiayi quickly agreed.

"What about the personnel losses at Mingde Hall?"

Jing Hongchen took a deep breath, his eyes filled with sadness.

Of course, the financial losses this time are incalculable, but the casualties of talent are truly difficult to measure.

Lin Jiayi's voice was also filled with grief as he reported: "A total of 254 people died..."

Listening to his report, Jing Hongchen felt a tightness in his chest and almost vomited blood.

Damn the Benti Sect, this revenge must be avenged!!

Finally, Jing Hongchen seemed to remember something, and asked while suppressing his grief:

"What about the exchange students from Shrek Academy? Especially Huo Yuhao, how are they doing?"

Lin Jiayi is also a meticulous person. He had long guessed that Jing Hongchen would ask this question and had already completed the investigation in advance.

“No one from Shrek Academy was injured or killed. Fan Yu and ten exchange students were out testing their soul guides and were not in the base. As for Huo Yuhao, he was outside the experimental area and was not affected by the explosion or the battle.”

"I'm glad that you're okay." Jing Hongchen nodded.

Lin Jiayi asked hesitantly:

"Master, do you think this is a collusion between Shrek Academy and the Body Sect? Otherwise, how could the Body Sect determine the location of our underground base so accurately, especially the location of the 100,000-year soul beast embryo. There must be a traitor!"

"Stupid, don't I know there's a traitor?"

Jing Hongchen glared at him unhappily and continued:
"These people from Shrek can't even enter the real core area of ​​Mingde Hall, how can they leak it? Besides, do you think the relationship between Shrek and Benti Sect is very good?"

"Okay, you will do as I tell you from now on and try to minimize the negative impact of this incident. I will go to the palace immediately to pay a visit to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Now he has been forced to take sides. It's really God's will!
After saying that, Jing Hongchen strode away.

……

Because Experiment No. 1 was not lost, Mingdetang did not conduct a large-scale inspection of the soul guide device afterwards, but only ordered everyone to block the information.

Huo Yuhao returned to the dormitory quickly.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, the whole person disappeared and entered the Shenwei space.

Looking at the Conferred God Platform quietly placed on the ground, he walked forward, injected his soul power into it, and cancelled the sealing function of the Conferred God Platform.

"Ah! Have I finally waited for the kindhearted person to come and save me?"

A lively voice of an adolescent girl sounded.

The blue airflow spun around, then condensed into a slender white little shark.

"Can you speak human language?"

Huo Yuhao suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"It's been less than 100,000 years since you were able to speak human language. Yuhao, it seems that this little shark in front of you is very special."

In the sea of ​​spirit, Tian Meng and the other two carefully observed the little shark again and confirmed once again that the other party's cultivation period was indeed less than 100,000 years.

"Of course! Although I have only been practicing for 80,000 years, as the little princess of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, I have consumed many treasures."

There was a hint of playfulness and a hint of pride in the voice of the Demon Soul Great White Shark.

Huo Yuhao: It really is you.

When talking about the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, we have to talk about the God of the Sea.

According to historical records, the Demon Soul Great White Shark was the most loyal follower of the former Sea God, and the Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiaobai was the mount of the former Sea God. Moreover, she helped a lot in Tang San's process of inheriting the Sea God throne during the Battle of Dou Yi.

And this princess of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan is even more extraordinary.

According to the original plot, she will help Tang San's son Tang Wulin successfully pass the Nine Tests of the Sea God during the Douluo Dalu period.

Moreover, during the Douluo Dalu 4 period, the Demon Soul Great White Shark was reborn as an adult after his clan was tragically exterminated. He then met Tang San's grandson Lan Xuanyu, and they finally got together and she became Tang San's granddaughter-in-law.

It's really a classic plot.

Tang Family Precepts: Men marry soul beasts, starting at 100,000. Women marry cheaters, only gods. Men who are taught by grass are good at picking up girls, women who are taught by hammer are good at preventing wolves...

All I can say is that Poseidon understands the concept of sustainability by exhausting all resources.

After the former sea god Poseidon became a god, the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan that followed him remained their long-standing natural enemy. After Tang San became a god, he also ignored the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan, which even led to their near extinction in the end.

Even so, it is difficult to comment on how the Sea God can still gain the loyal faith of the Demon Soul Great White Shark.

However, although the relationship between the Demon Soul Great White Shark and the Sea God is very close.

But Huo Yuhao believed that the appearance of this little princess of the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan here was most likely not the result of the calculations of the Sea God Tang San.

The greater probability is an encounter between the current Son of the Plane and the future Daughter of Fortune?
"Hey, what are you thinking about? My name is Bai Xiu Xiu, what's your name?"

The pleasant sound rang out again, and the small shark had swam to his side. A pair of big, curious eyes were close at hand.

"My name is Huo Yuhao."

"Yuhao, thank you."

Little Shark chuckled and continued to explain:
“Not long ago, I sneaked out of the house to play, and luckily I came across the legendary immortal seaweed that could improve cultivation. I was so happy that I ate it directly, and then I fell into this sleeping state and couldn’t recover.

Suddenly, I ran into some bad guys who used this thing to capture me. They thought I was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. I told them clearly that I was not a soul beast, but they didn’t believe me at all. They were all bad guys! I’m still a baby.”

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao was speechless.

With your high intelligence and the fact that you can speak human language, it's normal for others to misunderstand you.

Besides, it is extremely rare for a hundred thousand year old soul beast to transform and rebuild. It can be said that it is only recorded in ancient books, so it is very reasonable that it would be mistaken.

"Why aren't you talking again?" Bai Xiu Xiu asked in a tender voice.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’m a bad guy?” Huo Yuhao asked back.

"No, I like the smell of you. You are a good person!"
