Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 157 Farce
"Name?"

The middle-aged man in front of me asked with a cold face.

"Wang Shaojie."

Huo Yuhao replied without even blinking, which made the expressions of the Soul Kings and Soul Emperors around him even uglier.

Do you know what you've done wrong?

The middle-aged man patiently pressed for an answer.

"Why wasn't your young master helped up in time when he knelt down?"

Huo Yuhao glanced at the level-six shackles on his hands and activated his mental detection to analyze the positions of the others.

With this thing restraining his soul power, even he couldn't instantly defeat these people. If they really had to fight, it would probably be a big battle.

"Judging from their badges, they must be quite important. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to come all the way here to arrest people."

After hesitating for a moment, Huo Yuhao decided to see what they were up to first.

"Cousin, it's this brat!"

Wang Shaojie walked over with a face full of resentment and hatred, and punched Huo Yuhao hard in the stomach: "It's this brat who made me lose face!"

"--well?"

With a muffled thud of flesh colliding, Wang Shaojie was slightly stunned, looking at Huo Yuhao, who remained motionless, with some surprise.

what happened?

He was quite certain that the punch he had just thrown was a solid one, and that he had used at least 80% of his strength.

But this punch, despite his physical strength of level 42, felt like it hit leather armor. Not only did it not injure his opponent, but it also made his hand shake.

'What kind of soul tool is this guy carrying? How can it function even without soul power?'

Wang Shaojie's expression changed several times.

But the barely concealed smiles of the people around him completely ignited his temper.

They couldn't even break a young brat who couldn't use his soul power when they went all out. If word got out about this, it would be a disgrace to the royal family.

"No matter what methods you used, kneel down obediently!"

Wang Shaojie roared and released his martial spirit, throwing a powerful punch at Huo Yuhao.

Meanwhile, the people standing around were watching with great interest, clearly wanting to see if the non-existent soul tool could withstand the attack.

"Is this guy crazy?"

Faced with the approaching fist, Huo Yuhao raised his hand to respond, somewhat speechless. His smooth palm, imbued with the Snow Emperor's soul bone, blocked the attack.

boom!
A cold light flashed across his palm as he actually took the punch head-on. The seemingly powerful impact only made Huo Yuhao shake his shoulder and take a half step back, with no other effects.

Instead, Wang Shaojie clutched his hands amidst a hiss, collapsing to his knees in agony.

Upon closer inspection, several cracks had appeared on the surface of the fist during the collision. If it weren't for the soul power blocking the wounds, blood would have splattered everywhere.

"what?!"

The middle-aged man standing behind Wang Shaojie instantly lost his composure, staring in astonishment at Huo Yuhao's hands and the shackles on his wrists.

This is a level six soul power sealing device! With this on, this kid won't be able to use his soul power at all!

In that clash just now, not only did Wang Shaojie's soul power attack Huo Yuhao, but even the soul power that Huo Yuhao naturally circulated in his hands explode in the light, failing to provide any protection.

'What exactly is going on? '

The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed.

'I didn't expect this trick to be so effective?'

Huo Yuhao's eyes brightened slightly.

The three of them fought every day, so it's impossible that they didn't gain anything from it; they could learn something from each other, no matter what.

The palm technique he just used was Ye Wuqing's unique palm technique.

He started with the mind, aiming only for attack and destruction. Although he could only imitate the basics and only infused a small portion of his mental energy, the effect was remarkable.

"I'm going to kill you!!"

Having suffered repeated humiliations, Wang Shaojie could no longer bear it. His fourth soul skill shone brightly, and he decided to unleash a deadly attack within the academy.

"Shaojie! Don't forget where you are!"

The middle-aged man reached out and patted him on the shoulder, suppressing his soul power fluctuations: "A member of the royal family using his status to kill a classmate in the academy... This kind of news shouldn't appear in the newspapers!"

"this…?"

Wang Shaojie's pupils twitched, and he gradually calmed down, but the hatred on his face became even more distorted: "You must help me teach him a lesson!"

Of course!

The middle-aged man gave a cold laugh.

Although the Sun and Moon Royal Family has suffered multiple blows over the past century and has been suppressed by numerous forces, it is still not a pushover that can be easily bullied.

Anyone who dares to lay a hand on you will at least be skinned alive!

'Should we still take action?'

Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes; the link sharing that was stirring in his spiritual sea was almost impossible to suppress.

But just before launching the attack, Huo Yuhao's expression turned strange again.

Behind the middle-aged man, a group of researchers wearing level seven and eight badges passed by in a group, but they all stopped when they saw Huo Yuhao.

"Young men, what are you doing?"

Someone glanced at the shackles on Huo Yuhao's hands, then at the attire of the others, and a fierce glint appeared in their eyes.

"Ah? Oh..."

Looking at the throng of spectators before him, each possessing at least a seventh-ring combat power, the middle-aged man couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. A fawning smile tugged at his lips: "Esteemed seniors... we're apprehending the criminals who attacked members of the royal family! You see—"

As he spoke, he stepped aside, revealing Wang Shaojie, who was holding his arms crossed. Wang Shaojie cooperated by withdrawing his soul power, causing a spray of blood to appear, earnestly playing the victim.

"That's it~"

The group exchanged glances, and finally the person who had spoken first stepped forward and added the second half of the sentence: "We were busy going to work... but now it seems you might as well arrest us too!"

"?"

The middle-aged man's expression froze: "Why..."

"boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, the eighth-level Soul Master's fist slammed into his face, turning his entire face from convex to concave, sending him flying more than ten meters away, bringing with it a deathly silence.

"Esteemed seniors?"

Wang Shaojie's face twitched, which then attracted dozens of cold, gleaming eyes.

"Brothers, come on!"

Someone in the crowd shouted something, and more than thirty Soul Masters rushed over, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks that sparked a primal battle.

In front of these high-level guys, a five- or six-ring soul power defense was nothing but a joke. It was shattered the moment it was erected, and the face was also severely beaten.

"Sigh~"

Amid the chaos, someone gasped in shock: "These bastards actually dare to use soul techniques?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd fell silent for a moment, then grew even more enraged, erupting in a terrifying roar: "How dare they attack our Mingdetang researchers?!"

As for Huo Yuhao, he had already been lifted high above the heads of this group of people and gently placed outside the crowd like a conveyor belt, and the shackles on his hands had been taken away by someone.

"Royal Equipment..."

Xuan Ziwen, standing in the center of the crowd, adjusted his glasses and examined the golden shackles in his hands: "There are indeed some different core magic arrays inside... It's worth collecting."
