Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 184 What is a Soul King?

Fortunately, Huo Yuhao still had the unfailingly reliable angelic aura to prove himself, otherwise these three would have really mistaken him for an evil soul master.

Even after the misunderstanding was cleared up, the wariness in their eyes did not fade.

After all, they are now undead created by evil spirit masters. Although their attributes are somewhat strange, their undead nature remains unchanged.

"So what is the purpose of summoning us?"

Xixi still couldn't figure out Huo Yuhao's purpose.

Even if the three of them are talented and have great potential, they were only Soul Kings in life. The other party has the ability to create such high-quality undead, so why bother with just a few of them?

After all, the Mingdou Mountains are no safe haven. Rushing in here could very well result in being treated as an enemy by both Xingluo and Riyue, and being attacked from both sides.

"... "

Faced with the question, Huo Yuhao remained silent for a moment.

After all, Elder Yi turned them into undead so that he could meet them, say a few words, and incidentally demonstrate the lessons he would teach in the future.

Now that we've met and chatted, it seems there's nothing left to do.

"Oh yes!"

Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered something, took out three long staffs inlaid with blood-red crystals, and distributed them to the three people:
“These soul tools can nurture and even slowly enhance spirits. We obtained them by chance from evil soul masters, and now they can be put to good use to stabilize your newly born vengeful spirit bodies.”

"This thing..."

As soon as she got her hands on it, Xixi's expression changed slightly.

The long staff in his hand still retained an extremely terrifying blood aura, and the gemstone at the top was even more so, as if countless souls had been imprisoned there and suffered greatly.

Just by holding it in her hand, the resentment that had been suppressed by her attributes began to stir within her, gradually rising in resonance.

Just how many humans and soul beasts did that evil soul master kill to leave such lingering energy in the soul tool?
"It really was used by an evil soul master! And both the soul tool and its former owner were of frighteningly high levels..."

Gongyang Mo slowly frowned: "How exactly did you obtain this kind of thing?"

He had personally experienced the terrifying corpse explosion of the Grim Reaper. If a mere fifth-ring evil soul master was this powerful, how troublesome would the higher-level ones be?
"It was just a fluke."

Huo Yuhao shrugged: "The three of us alone couldn't possibly deal with the Soul Douluo. We only borrowed some backup power. It just so happens that their numbers are equal to yours, so one soul tool per person is just right."

"Eight rings?!"

Gongyang Mo exclaimed in surprise, the shock in his eyes almost tangible: "There are three of them!"

After a long moment of stunned silence, he looked at Huo Yuhao with trembling eyes: "Junior brother... is your so-called backup plan divine...?"

"Why do you think so?"

Huo Yuhao was somewhat confused.

"Mo? What happened after we died?"

Xi Xi and Yao Haoxuan exchanged a glance, clearly realizing that the danger they faced back then did not come solely from Ma Xiaotao.

"That so-called Grim Reaper can turn people into bombs, and a mere fourth-ring bomb can explode with the power of a sixth-ring bomb."

Gongyang Mo looked at the wide valley: "In my last memory, Elder Xuan had already made his move. I thought it would be resolved instantly, but it seems that... a fierce battle has broken out."

The fourth ring road was blown up by the sixth ring road.

Ye Guyi's brows twitched as she listened. This energy conversion ratio even surpassed that of a fixed-position artillery shell. Even the most powerful soul tool of its rank could only advance by about one and a half ranks. It was truly no match for that so-called Death Messenger.

"A fierce battle..."

Xi Xi and Yao Haoxuan looked distressed: "Is that Soul King really that strong?"

"and many more?"

Huo Yuhao, who had been listening quietly to the side, suddenly paused: "What did you guys just say that guy was at what level?"

"Level not exceeding 55, with three yellow and two purple soul rings."

Now, not only him, but also Ye Guyi and Yu Mengdi cast complicated and indescribable glances at him.

What does it mean for the Five Rings and the Super Douluo to have a fierce battle?
Furthermore, a soul skill of less than ten thousand years level can easily surpass the power of a fixed-position soul guide cannon.
"I thought the biggest threat came from the captain, but it turns out the real powerhouse was waiting behind..."

Xixi couldn't stop smiling bitterly.

"Captain? That Ma Xiaotao?"

Huo Yuhao felt that today's unexpected twists and turns were endless. Who would have thought that there would be a master in the accident two years ago?
"That's right. Xixi and I died at her hands."

The mere mention of her sent a chill down Yao Haoxuan's spine; he never wanted to experience that burning, fiery feeling again.
"Her martial soul attribute was problematic to begin with, and later she was affected by the evil forces of this place, which completely corrupted her, turning her into an evil martial soul and losing her reason at the same time."

"Looking back now..."

Xi Xi felt a pang of sadness. Who could have imagined that more than half of the Seven Devils would perish during the mission: "They killed teammates and classmates, possessed evil spirits, and absorbed a great deal of blood energy from this place. The captain might already be being treated as an evil spirit master..."

Given Shrek Academy's uncompromising stance towards evil spirit masters, Ma Xiaotao is likely doomed. At the very least, her spirit power will be sealed.

"No?"

Huo Yuhao's eyes were strange: "Her attribute is evil fire, right? I saw her soul power fluctuations under the golden tree from afar before, which were hidden very deeply by the power of light elements. The only news from the academy is that you died on the journey of fighting against evil soul masters and are heroes of the continent."

XiXi: ...

Gongyang Mo: ?

Yao Haoxuan: !

Finally, Xixi slapped her forehead in exasperation: "Forget about these unpleasant things. We were summoned by you, and now we have no choice but to follow you—so where are you planning to go now?"

"Smuggled to Xingluo."

"...Aren't you saying it backwards?"

Xi Xi pointed to the left and right, somewhat taken aback: "It should be from Douluo Continent to Sun Moon Continent..."

"That's right."

Huo Yuhao nodded seriously: "We just came out of Mingdu not long ago and were about to cross the Mingdou defense line when we accidentally discovered this place."

Leaving Mingdu...

The three of them exchanged strange glances before turning their attention back to Huo Yuhao: "What's this on you?"

"The school uniforms issued by Sun Moon Academy look to be made of good material and are comfortable to wear. I've gotten used to wearing them lately. Plus, they can be used as identification before I leave Sun Moon, so even if someone discovers me, I won't be blown to bits by a soul-guided cannon..."

Huo Yuhao was a little puzzled by the three people's gazes, but he still patiently explained, "Of course~ to ensure safety, we'll have to change into Shrek's school uniform after crossing the border as a precaution. There are still experts near the Star Luo border, so it's always good to be safe just in case."
