Douluo Continent: It Became Huo Yuhao's Golden Finger!

Chapter 238 Ancestor Summoning! Level 9 Fixed-Position Soul-Guided Cannon - Retribution!
Since the last "orange incident", Huo Yuhao's research lab has been designated as the core area of ​​Mingde Hall.

Unauthorized personnel are prohibited from approaching, and at least one Contra leader must be on guard.

"Boom))))=>"

The Contra captain was startled!
"Who dares... um..."

Seeing Huo Yuhao emerge from the barrier, he was momentarily stunned.

What's happening here?
Did the failed research lead to the house being blown up?
Huo Yuhao didn't say much, but flew towards the Sun and Moon Palace with a gloomy face.

Jing Hongchen arrived midway upon hearing the news. Seeing Huo Yuhao's murderous aura from afar, he hesitated for a moment but decided not to approach.

After all, they all head straight for the palace as soon as they leave the pass, not to come looking for me, so I shouldn't get involved in this mess.

Back outside the research room, Xuan Ziwen was comforting Tang Yan, a titled Douluo from the Haotian Sect.

"Elder Tang, please wait a moment. My teacher's sudden departure must be for something important!"

"We can continue refining the composite metal according to the predetermined plan."

"Or you could try practicing the Ring Explosion Technique?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yan hesitated for a moment.

In the past six months, he had tried to break the ring three times, but all of them ended in failure. If Huo Yuhao hadn't used the Light Magic Scroll to save him, he would have either blown it up or at least suffered some internal injuries.

He was actually a little hesitant to let himself cultivate on his own.

—If it weren't for the sect's requirement, he wouldn't really want to be the Haotian Douluo!

"Alright, let's continue."

Tang Yan swung the Haotian Hammer and continued striking the iron.

Xuan Ziwen wiped his sweat and saw Jing Hongchen standing outside the research room waving, so he quickly walked over.

"I don't know what happened to the teacher either." Xuan Ziwen said directly: "Dean Hongchen can ask the teacher for details. I can't tell you anything else. It's a confidential place, so I won't talk about it anymore."

He closed and locked the door in one smooth motion.

Jing Hongchen's eyes twitched uncontrollably.

Xuan Ziwen was already quite aloof before, but he never went this far in showing such disrespect.

Having climbed to the top of the Temple of Light and the Crown Prince's favor, he became arrogant and complacent.
Something is wrong!
Something is very wrong!

Jing Hongchen pondered carefully. Xuan Ziwen was wearing a headband that covered most of his forehead, and his aura seemed slightly weak, as if he had only recently broken through.

Shouldn't it be.
But that’s not right either!
He has never left Mingdu, so how did he pass the divine examination?

I've never heard of a divine test suddenly descending from the sky while someone was conducting research.

The Imperial Palace, the Eastern Palace.

Holding the Crown Prince's token, Huo Yuhao flew unimpeded into Xu Tianran's study.

The gate was wide open, and Xu Tianran was inside, peering out.

Seeing Huo Yuhao fly over, a smile spread across his face.

"Blue Rain, you're here."

"Why did you come in such a hurry this time? Is there good news to bring?"

This was because they thought he had come to bring good news.

Huo Yuhao had already calmed down on the way here and had prepared in advance to take out a metal bar as tall as a person.

"This is the Level 9 Fixed-Motion Soul-Guided Cannon Shell 2.0, with a modified Soulfire recipe based on new materials. I've named it Retribution!"

"It was brought out this time to test its power."

"If the performance is good, a small number of MK-3s can be put into service later."

— Upgrade a low-yield remote-controlled nuclear explosion to a medium-yield remote-controlled nuclear explosion!

Xu Tianran was overjoyed.

"Good good!"

"They've actually managed to manufacture level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, excellent!"

Xu Tianran patted the bad news and began to ponder. He noticed that the four countries were doing well recently, with even border skirmishes ceasing, and each was focused on development.

You can't just randomly place such a level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell in an empty field, can you?

Even a wealthy empire like the Sun and Moon Empire couldn't afford such extravagance.

Huo Yuhao specifically brought out this finished product because he saw this point.

As for the reason.
He asked casually, "On the way here, I heard that the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire betrayed his country and joined the Sun Moon Empire? How did he manage that?"

Although he hated Dai Hao.

However, it must be said that he has been stationed for many years on the western border between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire. He has made great contributions to protecting the Star Luo Empire, but has a blood debt to the Sun Moon Empire.

How could we accept his betrayal?

Would the troops below be willing?

"Ah!"

Xu Tianran sneered, making no attempt to hide his true feelings—

“That Dai Hao didn’t pledge allegiance to my Sun Moon Empire, but rather to the Land of Inheritance.”

"To be precise, he is the God of War among the six great inheritance lands. He was originally the ancestor of the Dai family and he sent down a divine test when Dai Hao broke through to the Title Douluo level."

“A few days ago, the High Priest of the War God came to inform me that I must not prevent him from entering the country. Like the Haotian Sect, he only pledges allegiance to the land of inheritance.”

That's it.

Huo Yuhao nodded in understanding. No wonder Dai Hao abandoned his "ancestral business"; it turned out that it was the ancestors' call.

He did not directly suggest using Dai Hao to test for karmic retribution.

Instead, he changed the subject.

"Is that Dream of the Mortal World still stuck in the Light of the Sea God, climbing those stairs?"

“This test is quite time-consuming,” Xu Tianran affirmed. “With each step forward in the Sea God’s Light, the pressure increases. Meng Hongchen’s main focus is on poison and soul tools, which is precisely his weakest point.”

"The other inheritors are basically stuck in the Divine Trial, right?" Huo Yuhao guided. "It's interesting, Xiao Hongchen started the Nine Trials of the God of War a long time ago, but he was only a six-ring Soul Emperor at the time, while his own bloodline Dai Hao was going to be a Title Douluo."

Xu Tianran let out a soft "hmm" and lowered his head to think for a moment.

Suddenly, he looked up and waved behind him. Ju Zi, dressed in a gorgeous dress, stepped out and gave Huo Yuhao a graceful bow.

Huo Yuhao frowned and stepped aside, keeping his distance from this woman who could steal his semen.

But in other people's eyes, it means they still hold a grudge against the past conflict.

“Ju Zi is quick-witted and usually helps me with official business,” Xu Tianran explained. “Ju Zi, as one of the inheritors of the six major inheritance sites, is there any problem with your progress in the divine examination?”

Orange quickly retrieved the relevant information, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"Each of the six major inheritance sites has an average of two to three inheritors, covering the young prodigies of the Sun Moon Empire."

"Currently, Meng Hongchen is the one with the fastest progress in the Divine Examination, but he is stuck on the fourth test."

"The biggest problem with the rest of the people who have passed the lowest level of the Divine Examination is that we need to get them promoted to Title Douluo."

"This is still considered normal."

"However, among the Soul Douluos and Title Douluos who have passed the Red and Black level assessments, there are many who are required to collect information about the Star Dou Great Forest, the Demon Forest, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Ice God Palace."

"Among them, the most targeted were those against the Holy Fire Cult, especially Huo Yuhao and his lover Wang Dong'er."

"As of now, including those gathered from the Holy Spirit Cult, three Title Douluos have gone to assassinate Huo Yuhao and to search for the location of the Body Sect in the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"These six great inheritance sites seem to be quite hostile towards Huo Yuhao!"

I hadn't noticed it before.

Now that I'm analyzing it closely, something just doesn't feel right!

It's just like.
These deities descended to the mortal realm, merely using divine trials to entice people; their true target was Huo Yuhao and those around him.

Something just doesn't look right!
