Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 111 Laughing at the Mortal World: Did I Transmigrate? (Two Chapters Combined)

Finding the answer to the question is much easier than finding the answer to the question. Old Ma quickly found three relatively suitable soul bones.

The three soul bones come from a Gold-Eating Beast that lived 24,000 years ago, a Frozen Spirit Fox that lived 23,000 years ago, and a Benevolent Bird that lived 21,000 years ago. You can tell who each soul bone was chosen for just by hearing its name.

Although the soul bone chosen for his grandson Ma Rulong was of the lowest age, Old Master Ma was very satisfied. Their Ma family's martial soul inheritance was called Big-Headed Spirit Ape, which was a support-type beast martial soul.

In the Sun Moon Empire, the support-type martial souls are different from those in Douluo Continent, where support-type martial souls mostly refer to team support.

In the Sun Moon Empire, the meaning of a support-type martial soul is to assist oneself, that is, to give oneself various buffs. Only food-type martial souls are called team support.

Each of Ma Rulong's soul skills was personally selected by Elder Ma. There were only two types of the six soul skills: either to increase one's own soul power or to amplify the burst of soul power.

This is why Ma Rulong was able to create a level 7 soul tool with his Soul Emperor cultivation level. With the support of six soul skills, Ma Rulong had the ability to fight against a Soul Saint.

This benevolent bird soul bone can definitely provide Ma Rulong with a powerful amplification soul skill, significantly enhancing his combat power.

"Team Leader Ma has made his choice?" Xu Jiawei smiled on the surface, but inwardly he was feeling very pained.

Three soul bones that are over 20,000 years old would be worth over ten million even for the most ordinary soul beasts, let alone these soul bones with strong bloodlines.

In fact, Xu Jiawei had specially prepared the Gold-Eating Beast and the Frozen Spirit Fox for Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. He wanted to hide the precious soul bones, but he couldn't go too far.

Otherwise, if they were to send all the thousand-year-old soul bones back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and spread the word, the Star Luo Empire would lose face. How could the Star Luo royal family's national treasury only contain thousand-year-old soul bones?

The year 20,000 is just the minimum time to silence public opinion, making it both a suitable reward and a way to minimize losses.

Aside from the fact that the Benevolent Bird Soul Bone was chosen, which was unexpected for Xu Jiawei, the other two pieces were part of the plan. However, this did not stop Xu Jiawei from being stingy with the money.

"Then I'll be leaving now." Old Ma nodded slightly and walked out without waiting for Xu Jiawei's reply. This action made Xu Jiawei's face stiffen, but he quickly recovered.

As Xu Jiawei watched Old Ma's figure gradually disappear into the distance, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes, followed by a hint of dejection.

The fact that the other party, a mere ninth-level Soul Master, regarded him as an equal to the king is itself a testament to their strength.
A thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Empire almost conquered the entire Douluo Continent with the power of a single nation. A thousand years later, the Star Luo Empire, which could have once rivaled the Sun Moon Empire, has lost that qualification.

At dawn, the Sun and Moon Clan left Star Luo City chatting and laughing. They stopped in an open space and all turned their attention to Elder Ma.

A pair of wings had appeared on Old Ma's back at some unknown time. The wings were wide and slender, and looked extremely soft, just like real wings.

Despite its unremarkable appearance, this is a genuine level nine flying soul tool, a powerful soul tool made based on soul tool bionics.

A diamond-shaped gem in the center of the flying soul tool behind Ma Lao shone brightly, and a layer of golden energy surged out from it, spreading outwards.

Riyue and the others showed no change in expression, clearly having seen it before. The golden energy seemed to have a mind of its own, extending upwards until it formed a pale golden energy membrane that enveloped everyone.

Just then, the wings on Old Ma's back flapped slightly, a small movement, but instantly carried everyone to high altitude. With another flap, everyone immediately transformed into a streak of light and sped away into the distance.

Outside the energy light membrane, the wind howled and the scenery constantly changed, but inside, everyone stood steadily on the light membrane, chatting leisurely without having to worry about anything.

"Captain, why are you still looking so serious after winning the championship? Look at Li Yan, he's still grinning like an idiot." Mika sidled up to Ma Rulong and said with a grin.

"This championship brings honor, but it has no real value. I did not compete against any of Shrek Academy's geniuses."

Ma Rulong's voice was deep. He had participated in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament twice, once as a reserve team member and once as a regular team member.

Five years ago, he participated in the tournament as a reserve team member. The students representing Shrek Academy that time had a configuration of two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings. Before the top sixteen, they won every battle with overwhelming force.

Compared to them, Ma Rulong was still very weak at that time, only a Soul Master. However, he had truly witnessed the strength of Shrek Academy, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was undoubtedly defeated once again.

From that moment on, Ma Rulong secretly resolved to win the championship belonging to the Sun Moon Empire. Although this wish has now been fulfilled, it is far from what he expected.

What he wanted was to defeat Shrek Academy through his own strength, a bloody clash of power, not a farcical victory.

"Isn't this impressive enough? We beat two of the royal academies of the three great empires. The only regret is that we didn't personally defeat the Douling Royal Academy and Shrek Academy."

Mika said with some regret, "Douling Royal Academy was eliminated by Xingluo Royal Academy, and Shrek Academy was directly eliminated in the round-robin tournament."

If they were to encounter all of them, defeating the three royal academies and Shrek Academy would be something they could brag about for a lifetime.

"Anyone with eyes can see how talented Shrek Academy's reserve team is. If they were around our age, this so-called championship would have real value."

Hearing Ma Rulong's words, Mika sighed helplessly, "No matter how talented they are, a loss is a loss. The process is just a formality; the result is what matters most."

Ma Rulong ignored Mika and looked solemnly at the Hongchen siblings, "Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, the glory of the next competition is in your hands."

"Captain, don't worry. From now on, the championship will belong only to the Sun Moon Empire." Xiao Hongchen smiled, his tone full of confidence in his own strength.

Meng Hongchen didn't speak, but just nodded with a light smile. Seeing her older brother's expression, she couldn't help but tease him, "So confident, you'll be quiet when you get beaten up."

Hearing Meng Hongchen's voice suddenly ring in his mind, Xiao Hongchen was stunned for a moment, and then used his mental communication soul tool to transmit his voice, "I am the Soul King, and in five years, I will only become stronger!"

As a model of "brotherly love and sisterly respect," it was impossible for Meng Hongchen not to be disgusted upon hearing Xiao Hongchen's arrogant words.

"You are indeed a Soul King, but look at his Soul Ring configuration. He is only a Soul Venerable and he has Soul Rings of three colors: yellow, purple, and black. This shows that his physical attributes are no weaker than those of a Soul King."

It's uncertain whether our current physical strength is stronger than theirs.

Besides, you know perfectly well how we became Soul Kings. In five years, we'll be Soul Emperors at most. By then, they'll have become Soul Kings too—one yellow, one purple, and three black. Do you think you, as a Soul Emperor, can beat them?

Xiao Hongchen remained silent for a moment after hearing this before continuing, "That guy named Huo Yuhao is indeed a formidable opponent."

He had always considered himself the number one genius, but he was genuinely shocked when Huo Yuhao revealed his three spirit rings: yellow, purple, and black.

Having absorbed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, Xiao Hongchen knew the difficulties involved and could hardly imagine how powerful his body must be if his third spirit ring was ten thousand years old.

"You got discouraged so easily? That's not like you, haha." Meng Hongchen said with some surprise.

"Who said I was discouraged? I just admit that he does have some strength, but he is definitely no match for me." After saying this, Xiao Hongchen arrogantly turned his head to the side, looking at the constantly changing scenery around him. Under Ma Lao's amazing speed, his face was alternating between light and shadow with the sunlight.

Five years is enough time for a lot to happen. The next time we meet, he will surely be the one who laughs at the world!

Despite having several dependents with him, thanks to the support of a level-nine soul tool, Old Ma's speed was still terrifying. He set off at dawn and arrived in Mingdu by sunset.

Stepping through the city gates of Mingdu, Lin Xi stretched and said with a sigh, "Finally back. This day has been exhausting."

Xiao Xiafeng rolled her eyes upon hearing this, "You've been lying down all day, and you're actually tired?"

"Tiredness is a feeling, don't you understand?" Lin Xi subconsciously retorted, and the atmosphere, which had been dull due to the long flight, suddenly became lively.

Mingde Hall.

"Yu Miao, let's call it a day. At Hong Ping's speed, he should be back by now."

Elder Guan stood up, and Huo Yumiao nodded, guessing that Xiao Hongchen and the others must have returned.

The news that Sun Moon Royal Academy had won the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament came back yesterday, causing a sensation. The entire capital was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Upon hearing this, the old emperor Xu Yang immediately issued an edict to bestow a large amount of resources upon the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Naturally, the allocation of these resources fell to Elder Guan, the newly appointed dean of the academy and the head of the Mingde Hall.

The news of Guan Lao being granted a position happened a few days ago. It was only then that Huo Yumiao learned that Jing Hongchen was dead, and she was immediately filled with questions.

After questioning Elder Guan, he learned that it was actually Jing Hongchen who led Xiao Hongchen to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings but was killed by spirit beasts instead. He was stunned on the spot.

Jing Hongchen's cultivation level was only that of a Title Douluo, but even a Super Douluo would be no match for him when he used all his soul tools.

To find a soul beast capable of killing Jing Hongchen in the Star Dou Great Forest, it can only be that group of ferocious beasts: Xiong Jun? Wan Yao Wang? Or Di Tian?
It seemed like a choice of three, but given Huo Yumiao's status as a transmigrator, he was certain the murderer was Di Tian.

Xiong Jun and Wan Yao Wang do have that ability, but in front of them, Jing Hongchen is fully capable of escaping with Xiao Hongchen. With Jing Hongchen's reserves of soul tools, it would be very easy for him to hold off the two of them.

Only Di Tian had the power to force Jing Hongchen to personally hold off the opponent, giving Xiao Hongchen time to escape.

But Huo Yumiao couldn't understand how Jing Hongchen, while accompanying Xiao Hongchen to obtain the fifth soul ring, encountered Di Tian, ​​that guy who stayed in the Lake of Life all year round.

Huo Yumiao guessed that Di Tian must have run into Jing Hongchen and the others. After all, they were only looking for a fifth soul ring, which at most was a ten-thousand-year soul beast. The Lake of Life was a place that even a hundred-thousand-year soul beast wouldn't dare to go, let alone a ten-thousand-year soul beast.

For Jing Hongchen to encounter such a low-probability event is truly the worst luck imaginable.

"Let's go." Elder Guan's voice rang out, and Huo Yumiao's face immediately showed confusion. "I have to go too?"

"There are three people inside you can get to know: Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ma Rulong. You may have heard of their names in the academy."

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen are siblings, and Jing Hongchen is their grandfather. Both of them have extraordinary talents and are potential ninth-level soul masters. Before you came, Xiao Hongchen was known as the number one genius of Sun Moon.

"But now that you're here, he probably won't be able to hold onto that title for much longer." Old Guan joked, then continued:
"These two siblings will also be your teammates in the next All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. It's good to get to know each other early on."

Ma Rulong's grandfather, like me, is also a level nine Soul Master. He has great talent and has a good chance of becoming a level nine Soul Master in the future.

These are all very good connections. You will need their help more or less in the future, and they might even lend you a hand in times of crisis. However, it is highly unlikely that this will happen while I am still alive.

But I don't know how many more decades I can hold on. I hope that by then you'll have become a powerful figure capable of standing alone.

"That period won't be very long."

Huo Yumiao responded. Hearing Elder Guan's words, he was a little touched. The other party was indeed teaching him with all his heart, not only fulfilling the duties of a teacher, but also acting as a guide.

Lifespan? Huo Yumiao didn't think that was a problem. Every time a Title Douluo broke through a level, his lifespan could be extended by several decades. He would take a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and he didn't believe there wouldn't be any immortal herbs that could help Elder Guan break through his soul power.

"Haha, let's go. I can live for another thirty or forty years, enough for you to become a Title Douluo." Elder Guan laughed heartily and walked out of the laboratory.

The two stepped onto the elevator and soon arrived at the academy gate, where a figure was already waiting.

Upon seeing Huo Yumiao and the other person, the figure immediately bowed and respectfully said, "Elder Guan."

"You're quite patient. How long have you been waiting?" Old Guan waved his hand, his tone amiable.

"It's been almost an hour, Elder Guan."

This person is Lin Jiayi. After receiving the news yesterday that his college had won the championship, he was in a state of excitement all day.

Whether or not you win the championship is secondary; what's truly satisfying is shattering Shrek Academy's eternal title of number one.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Shrek Academy have always been at odds, but in every competition, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has been outshone by Shrek Academy. This has been a grudge that the entire Sun Moon Empire has been holding onto for a long time.

So, upon learning that everyone participating in the competition would be returning today, Lin Jiayi arrived here early to wait.

Just as the two were talking, several figures slowly approached from a distance. Although they were not very clear in the darkness of night, it did not pose any obstacle for Elder Guan.

"They're back."

As Master Ma led the group to the academy gate, he immediately spotted the three people standing there and respectfully greeted them, "Master Guan."

"Hongping, there's no need for such formalities. You've done a great service this time," Elder Guan said with a smile.

When Ma Hongping, the old man, heard Guan's words, he smiled and said, "I have done nothing to make a contribution; it is all thanks to these children."

There were lights and soul guides at the entrance of the academy, so both sides could see clearly. Just then, the people in the group suddenly exclaimed in unison.

"Huo Yuhao? What are you doing here?"

Looking at the person in front of him, Xiao Hongchen was completely dumbfounded. He had imagined the two of them meeting again, but that was five years later. Could it be that he had traveled through time?
