Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 246 Xu Chengzhi's smile gradually disappeared
The battle scenario was not quite what JJ Lin had imagined. He didn't need to hold back or hold back; he just needed to go all out.

After all, if he didn't go all out, he might be the one who got taken down.

Sitting inside the mecha, JJ Lin looked at Gu Yuena outside, who was just as formidable as him, and his lips twitched.

Huo Yuhao, with his strength as a two-word Battle Armor Master, was already able to withstand a Red-level Mech Master, but his little girlfriend also possessed such strength?

Your Douluo Federation is cheating!
At this moment, JJ Lin couldn't help but recall the words of the Soul Ancestor.

"The Douluo Federation? That's a gathering place for monsters. Someone with your talent wouldn't even be considered a top contender there. Do you think I'm being so diligent in trying to win you over because I'm loyal to the Douluo Federation? You're so wrong. It's simply because, in my opinion, there's no future in following the Star Luo Federation."

"Our ancestor was right."

Just as JJ Lin was reflecting on this, he saw the figure attack again. Piloting his red-level mech, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, forcefully blocking Gu Yuena's spear strike. Ripples of energy spread across the surface of the mech.

The next instant, the thrusters on the back of the red-level mech suddenly spewed out scorching flames, and the huge mechanical body soared into the air. Two dark red energy blades extended from the mech's arms, slashing towards Gu Yuena with a shrill sound that tore through the air.

Gu Yuena narrowed her silver eyes slightly, her figure nimbly taking half a step back, her silver spear tracing a graceful arc. The moment the spear tip collided with the giant energy blade, even space itself seemed to distort.

"boom--"

A blinding energy storm swept out, shattering the surrounding rocks. The Star Luo soldiers watching from a distance had to erect protective shields just to maintain their footing.

Xu Lingfeng stood at the back, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

He originally thought that the Star Luo Army would be enough to wipe out this Dawn Society base, but he did not expect that the other side not only had a level 7 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, but also a red-level mecha pilot.

What alarmed him even more was that the two young people sent by the Douluo Federation were so unfathomably strong.

But... now that Huo Yuhao could change everything with just a little effort, why doesn't he go and support Gu Yuena?

Xu Lingfeng was filled with doubts, but dared not say them out loud.

He had no right to interfere with what these Douluo Federation delegation members wanted to do, since the main force in the battle was the Douluo Federation.

"Pass down the order: the entire army shall retreat three kilometers and establish a defensive line!" he ordered in a deep voice. "This is no longer a battle we can intervene in."

On the battlefield, the battle between Gu Yuena and the red-level mechs has reached a fever pitch.

The silver spear light and the dark red energy blade collided repeatedly in the air, each clash triggering a violent energy explosion, and from time to time, the power of multiple elements fused together bombarded the red-level mech.

"boom--"

The seventh elemental explosion illuminated the entire canyon as if it were daytime. Gu Yuena's silver hair danced wildly, and her silver dragon spear suddenly burst forth with seven-colored divine light. Wherever the spear tip pointed, space shattered layer by layer like a mirror!
However, compared to Gu Yuena's spear technique that relies on spatial power and her powerful elemental abilities, what Lin Junjie fears most now is another, more subtle force—

Spiritual power of the Spirit Realm!

"How could a Soul Emperor possibly possess such spiritual power?" Lin Junjie's expression turned extremely solemn as he sensed the faint spiritual pressure.

Not to mention JJ Lin, even the ancestral spirit within his spiritual sea was shocked.

Holy crap, are the new generation of the Federation this ruthless? A Soul Emperor with the spiritual power of a Spirit Domain Realm... This is insane!

Even so, the girl in front of her was not even the strongest among her peers in the Federation.

What kind of strength does that boy named Huo Yuhao possess?
Upon reflecting on this, the Old Ancestor of Souls discovered a very important problem.

"Junjie, be careful! There's more than one Spirit Realm level spiritual force around the mech!"

JJ Lin's pupils contracted as he quickly locked onto Huo Yuhao, who appeared to be motionless in the distance.

That's right, this girl has the spiritual power of the Spirit Realm, so how could Huo Yuhao, a soul master with the spiritual attribute, be inferior to her?

Although he didn't make any move, he had already been involved in the battle without even realizing it.

That restrained spiritual power was Huo Yuhao's backup plan; if he didn't keep his promise, the other party could deliver a fatal blow at any time.

However, seeing Gu Yuena using her own mental power to conceal Huo Yuhao's unusual mental power, and the strange state of their mental powers intertwined, Lin Junjie felt a strange thought arise rather than surprise—

I feel like I won't be able to eat anything else; I'm already full.

"Sigh, it seems this is the end of it. You should prepare to leave, and I will take over the battle from now on."

Seeing that Gu Yuena's attacks were becoming increasingly sharp, the Soul Ancestor spoke up to warn her.

Although Xingluo doesn't specifically develop mechs that soul spirits can pilot due to its national circumstances, at the Red-level mech level, soul spirits can fuse with the mech, even becoming completely part of it. Therefore, it's certainly possible for soul spirits to pilot mechs in place of soul masters. Lin Junjie nodded, not objecting to the suggestion.

This is the only chance to "escape" at this stage. I just hope the other side will go easy on me and leave his red-level mech behind.

boom--

Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon Spear tore through the air once more, seven-colored elements converging at the spear tip into a destructive vortex. Lin Junjie gritted his teeth, and the Red-level mecha suddenly made a physics-defying abrupt stop, its chest armor snapping open with a "click."

"It's now!"

Watch him break free of his khaki!

JJ Lin abruptly pressed the ejection button, and the cockpit shot out like a cannonball. Almost simultaneously, his spirit appeared—a nine-tailed fox with spiritual attributes—and took over his mecha.

Spiritual beasts are generally more clever, especially a fox. Even though it is only a ten-thousand-year-old spirit, its intelligence is no less than that of some hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beasts, which is why it can take on the important task of "undercover".

Now is the time for it to do its job properly.

Xu Lingfeng watched helplessly as Lin Junjie ran away, while Gu Yuena was blocked by the red-level mecha and was unable to stop him, her face showing a blank expression.

Have you no shame? You're a Title Douluo, where's your backbone?

Facing a Soul Emperor, you actually resorted to a runaway strategy? Don't you feel ashamed?!
Xu Lingfeng subconsciously glanced at Huo Yuhao beside him, and frowned slightly when he saw that Huo Yuhao still showed no intention of making a move.

Well... His Majesty must have paid me, right? It's not right to just show up and not put in the effort, is it?

Reading this meaning in his eyes, Huo Yuhao smiled and said:
“I let him go on purpose, as did the other remnants of the Dawn Society who left before. I have silently planted a beacon on them with my mental power, and I can track their location within a certain range.”

"And what this means, I think I don't need to say more, right? Doesn't Captain Xu want to gain even greater merit?"

Xu Lingfeng's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard.

He certainly understood what that meant.

His Majesty didn't provide them with many bases for the Dawn Society; it was only a portion of the society's assets. Among the previous Dawn Society members were some talented individuals who, after their defeat, could likely have been accepted by other Dawn Society members. However, due to Huo Yuhao's actions, all of these people will become collaborators.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly, "Then we shall proceed according to your idea."

He was eager to make a name for himself, because having already reached the level of a Contra, he was confident that he could break through to the level of a Red-level Mech Pilot. However, the resources required to build a Red-level Mech were beyond his means.

If he can gain enough merit in this campaign against Dawn, he will have nothing to worry about in the future.

Huo Yuhao’s lips curled up.

Are they showing up but not putting in the effort?
Don't worry, he's already received the payment, so he'll certainly do his best to "encircle and annihilate" the Dawn Society.

However, it's uncertain which faction will be targeted for suppression, since His Majesty of Xingluo hasn't imposed any restrictions.

……

In the Star Luo Imperial Palace, Xu Chengzhi sat behind a table, sniffed, and frowned.

There's always a sense of foreboding.

"Your Majesty, good news! Good news!"

A Soul Master knocked on the door and came in, reporting with a happy expression, "In just two days, five Dawn Society bases have been destroyed."

"good."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chengzhi composed himself and a smile appeared on his lips.

In this way, the discordant voices in Xingluo will become even fewer.

Which Dawn Society bases were destroyed?

"These are Tianyuan, Cairo... the Dawn Society bases."

Xu Chengzhi took out the Star Luo Map and looked at the location the Soul Master pointed to on the map. The smile on his face gradually disappeared.
