Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 221 Let the intelligence come to you

Star Luo City is vast, yet it still retains city walls that are extremely rare on the Douluo Continent, and its overall appearance is more like a city from ancient times.

What's even more striking is that the city walls are equipped with various soul-guided weapons as a defensive system, which undoubtedly highlights the instability and tension of the current situation in the Star Luo Empire.

However, to the surprise of the Amorous Douluo and the Soul-Suppressing Douluo, they discovered along the way that the residents of the Star Luo Empire seemed to be living a peaceful and prosperous life.

Despite the existence of something like the Human Elixir, they maintain a facade of order... What are Xingluo thinking?

Confused, the group was taken to the luxurious Xingluo Hotel to rest. Upon entering the room, many of the students, exhausted from their journey, immediately collapsed onto the beds.

Three days later, the delegation will be received by the Star Luo royal family. If they don't rest now, they will have even less time later.

However, for Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena, it wasn't time to rest yet.

After arriving in the Star Luo Inland Area, Gu Yuena could sense that the Dragon Tomb was located there, but it would take time to pinpoint its location. Huo Yuhao didn't intend to be idle during this time either.

Now that I've come to Xingluo as an official member, I should naturally make the most of the value inherent in this identity.

Perhaps he can find information about Dragon Valley before Gu Yuena does.

"Let's go out for a walk."

After dinner, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena went out side by side, followed by a woman with a dignified appearance.

The other person's name was Le Xiaoling, and she was one of the guards arranged by Xingluo.

Because of the previous attack by the Dawn Society, the Star Luo Federation seems very worried about a similar incident, so they have arranged a large number of guards for the delegation members. If needed, they can also serve as guides for the group in Star Luo.

The Star Luo City was brightly lit at night, with soul-guided lamps illuminating the streets with a soft glow. Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena strolled along the stone-paved streets, seemingly leisurely, but actually observing every detail of the city.

After strolling along the pedestrian street for a while, Huo Yuhao asked, "Miss Le, I see that Xingluo City is very lively right now. Is it because of the Continental Soul Master Academy Tournament? With such a grand event, are there any auctions being held in Xingluo City?"

Having already noticed what Huo Yuhao and his companion were looking for, Le Xiaoling pondered for a moment before respectfully replying, "There is indeed an auction today, but all the invitations have already been sent out. Of course, if you two wish to attend, I can arrange the necessary formalities."

Huo Yuhao glanced sideways, "I wonder what items will be up for auction this time? Are there any items related to soul beasts?"

"Of course we have those, but what kind do you want? Do you have any specific requirements?"

"I want to collect the genetic information of soul beasts. As long as it's a soul beast species that doesn't exist on the Douluo Continent, that's fine." Seeing the puzzled look on Le Xiaoling's face, Huo Yuhao explained softly, "I'm also a soul spirit researcher at the Spirit Pagoda. That soul beast genetic information can be used to create artificial soul spirits."

Le Xiaoling was taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "That might be a bit difficult. The number of soul beasts in our Star Luo Continent is much smaller than that in Douluo Continent, and the variety is not very rich either. There may be very few that can satisfy you."

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "I'm just looking around. If anyone is willing to give me very valuable soul beast genetic information, I will exchange it for it through barter. I will never let them suffer a loss. I just don't know if they can accept this kind of transaction."

At this point, Huo Yuhao gave Le Xiaoling a meaningful look.

The latter was initially puzzled, then seemed to realize something and swallowed hard.

The substance that carries the genetic information of a soul beast can be its blood or its soul bone.

What could Huo Yuhao, a two-word Battle Armor Master, possibly have to exchange for a Soul Bone?

He is the next tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, so naturally he is... a soul spirit!
Thinking she understood Huo Yuhao's meaning, Le Xiaoling immediately responded, "I understand!"

Faced with the request from the distinguished guest of the Spirit Pagoda, Le Xiaoling dared not neglect it and quickly began to search for relevant records.

At the same time, she also began to secretly contact her family and friends.

This is a great opportunity to obtain a high-level soul spirit; we absolutely cannot miss it.

In the Douluo Continent, the value of soul bones and soul spirits is somewhat difficult to measure, but in the Star Luo Continent, the value of soul spirits is much higher than that of soul bones.

No Soul Master family dares to say that they will never decline, so the best guarantee is the combat power that can be passed down through generations, such as Soul Spirits.

After all, putting everything else aside, if one day their family declines to the point where there is no strong person to protect their descendants in hunting for soul rings, then having a soul spirit and not having a soul spirit are two completely different things.

With a spirit, the younger generation can still improve; without a spirit, they can only hope that the higher-ups will assign them spirit rings or risk going to sea to hunt for spirit rings... Neither is easy.

Watching Le Xiaoling bustling around, Gu Yuena blinked, pulled Huo Yuhao closer, and whispered, "Yuhao, is this really going to work?"

“Na’er, don’t forget our identities.” Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “We are the future of the Spirit Pagoda, and we are members of the delegation representing the Federation visiting Star Luo.”

"Regardless of what the Star Luo leadership thinks of us, as long as they don't openly declare war on Douluo, in the eyes of those below Star Luo, we are capable of cooperation. Don't underestimate the allure of soul spirits to them and the influence the Spirit Pagoda can bring here; they will act for the potential benefits..."

Just like what Le Xiaoling is doing now.

Because of Huo Yuhao's words, half of Xingluo City sprang into action.

Even if Huo Yuhao didn't originally want anything at the auction, the Star Luo Federation, which is now taking action, will put up what he needs.

Even if they can't directly obtain the soul spirit, gaining the favor of Huo Yuhao, the future master of the Spirit Pagoda, would be good. This way, they could establish a connection with the Spirit Pagoda and profit from it.

It was under these circumstances that Huo Yuhao found what he needed—several fragments of dragon bone.

Dragon Valley is located in Star Luo. Regardless of who discovered it, its contents, once circulated, would inevitably be absorbed by some of the Star Luo people. Huo Yuhao took advantage of this to obtain them.

Sitting in the private room of the auction, looking at the incomplete dragon bone that Huo Yuhao had bought at the auction, Gu Yuena fell into deep thought.

She had assumed she would be the first to find the dragon's tomb, that it would just take time. But looking at the current situation, it seemed that Yuhao's casual promises in Xingluo were far more effective than her, the legitimate Silver Dragon King, searching for it herself.

The intelligence has been delivered right to our door!
Gu Yuena raised her head and looked at the Xingluo people who were chatting happily with Huo Yuhao.

This is the Soul Master who provided the dragon bone as an item for auction.

However, since it's a fragmented dragon bone, it naturally won't receive a high-level soul spirit in exchange...

Of course, Huo Yuhao hadn't originally planned to do that.

After finalizing the deal with the middle-aged man in front of him, Huo Yuhao got straight to the point, "I'd like to ask, if I may be so bold, where in Star Luo do these soul bones come from? Which soul beast gathering place has so many dragon-type soul beasts?"
