Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 136 The Dragon Arrives

"This is... the Emperor's Palm?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, but he quickly dismissed it.

Ye Wuqing's performance was only similar in form to the Emperor's Palm, but in reality, it was different. He should have just used the Emperor's Palm to suddenly realize the path to the future.

Don't get distracted!

Ye Wuqing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, clapped his hands together, and unleashed several palm strikes in mid-air. The golden light that burst out was almost identical to that of a soul-guided cannonball—purely a release and a killing blow.

This is the insight he gained from the fact that there was no snow during the coldest period of winter.

Diverting attention to multiple paths is not the right way; if you want to attack, then focus on attacking.

From the moment he defeated Shrek Academy head-on on the field, his spiritual power was sublimated and attached to his martial soul, and then merged into his palm along with his golden left hand.

Since then, he has been studying soul skills to improve himself, incorporating the explosive and cutting power of the golden leaves into his hands. After meeting Ji Juechen, he has been studying spear intent, wanting to confront him head-on.

"It's too complicated...and there's too much of it."

Recalling the pure energy of that palm, Ye Wuqing followed his intuition and unleashed the terrifying power condensed in his palm.

'This road isn't that complicated~'

Just fight!
Ye Wuqing's eyes shone brightly, and each palm strike seemed to unleash flames, carrying a destructive power that made even Soul Masters of the same level's eyelids twitch as he engaged the two in a chaotic battle.

Fists, palms, and swords—pure and extreme attacks flew and exploded across the arena, causing the entire ring to resonate and shake.

referee……

The referee was already standing below the stage with a remote control.

"How come another lunatic has appeared? How do these kinds of people even come into existence?!"

Feeling the terrifying energy emanating from the stage, this referee, who had served for decades, felt for the first time the desolation of being left behind by the times: "But to be honest... these young people today are really amazing!"

"Who do you think will win?"

Jing Ziyan sat in the audience rubbing her eyes. Having never trained her mental strength, she couldn't withstand the blinding light and her eyes started to hurt after a few minutes.

"Of course it's the captain!"

"Huo Yuhao."

"Forehead."

Tang Xiaolei's face stiffened instantly. She slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with the pain and anger of being betrayed: "Who did you just say...?"

"Deaf?"

Yu Mengdi glared back defiantly: "Huo Yuhao!"

Look? No matter how you look, it's still Huo Yuhao.

"Ha~"

Glancing at the increasingly fragmented small group around her, Jing Ziyan sneered faintly: "The Douluo people are just missing a screw in their heads."

……

While the three on the field were engaged in a chaotic battle, and the three off the field were scheming against each other, the person who had been secretly monitoring them also made a move.

"How many levels?"

Staring blankly at the screen, Jing Hongchen looked up in surprise. He seemed to have misheard a few words, having been engrossed in his work: "What level did you just say Huo Yuhao is at now?"

Lin Jiayi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Level 45..." "..."

Jing Hongchen lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds, then looked up at the date and time on the screen. The confusion in his eyes was made even more profound by the dark circles under his eyes: "Am I dreaming?"

"Master, Master, are you alright?"

Seeing that the towering tree seemed somewhat dazed, Lin Jiayi's heart was in his throat.

Jing Hongchen had recently worked on three batches of soul-guided formations for Project Zero, exhausting his mental and soul power to the lowest point. His sudden excitement might cause some unexpected problems.

"fine…"

Jing Hongchen waved his hand and stood up, supporting himself on the table, his eyes flashing rapidly.

'It's a pity, Meng has already gone to Shrek Academy with Xiao and the others... It's not appropriate to change the personnel so abruptly midway through the exchange.'

'It seems Xuan Ziwen also has... hmm~ Could it be that the Crown Prince has already made some moves?'

'And...right! And—'

As the thought crossed his mind, Jing Hongchen's expression suddenly changed slightly. He grabbed Lin Jiayi by the collar and pulled him in front of him: "How's the matter I asked you to investigate going? Also, does Shrek Academy know about this now?"

"Aside from those that cannot be verified, what Huo Yuhao said is basically true!"

Under immense pressure from Jing Hongchen, Lin Jiayi tensed up for a moment. It was the first time he had ever seen the hall master so out of control: "As for the matter of ranks... I think they probably don't know. I've already arranged for people to restrict their information channels."

"not enough."

Jing Hongchen's expression changed several times: "There are too many people in the Soul Guidance Trial Grounds. Even if they are fighting right now, close to the time of the seasonal assessment, there are still at least a thousand people present."

Only then did he realize that letting those three guys from Zhengtian Academy in was a terrible mistake.

Especially that war maniac Ye Wuqing!

If it weren't for him stirring up trouble, the training ground wouldn't have become so crowded and noisy.

"The news can't be kept secret. Now it's a matter of who's faster and who can win over that kid."

Jing Hongchen slammed his hand on the table, leaving a palm print on the metal surface. The confusion he had just suppressed in his eyes resurfaced: "But this doesn't make sense. Level 45, thirteen years old... a year from now, he'll be at the fifth ring."

Logically speaking, the progress of cultivation should slow down as you go further, and the soul power required for each level up is increasing rapidly, especially after reaching the fourth ring.

Keep in mind that going from level 40 to level 45 increases your total soul power by more than 60%!
Even the rare genius of Shrek Academy, the reserve team member who appeared in the Soul Master Competition, was only a Soul Master of fourteen or fifteen years old...

Even Ma Xiaotao, the reserve captain who performed amazingly in the last competition, was only level 48 at the age of fourteen.

"At thirteen years old, before reaching the golden age of cultivation between fifteen and twenty-five, he is already a level above those who can be named as the Seven Monsters, or even more."

"Such talent is probably enough to reach the legendary level 99 Limit Douluo... He could definitely become a pillar of a great empire and a great power!"

Suddenly, panic flashed in Jing Hongchen's eyes as he stared intently at Lin Jiayi, seemingly lost in thought: "How's the development of our soul power detector going? Can it cover Mingde Hall and Sun Moon Academy?"

"The experiment has been initially successful."

Lin Jiayi replied, somewhat puzzled, "But this is still the first version! Didn't we originally plan to improve and perfect several versions before mass production? The cost is too high now!"

Each detector requires several level-eight soul masters to work for several hours, and there is even a risk of exhaustion.

After this calculation, the unit cost is practically zero. If we really spend that much time and money, it will be hard to explain to the Empire.

"What do costs matter!"

Jing Hongchen suddenly flew into a rage, slamming his fist on the table: "This is for safety, for the safety of Mingde Hall! Go and urge them! The experimental site must be covered within a week!"
