Douluo Continent: The Peerless Hunting Heavenly Lord, Huo Yuhao!

"What is this?" Ma Xiaotao asked, a mixture of curiosity and resistance.

"The No.1 maglev express produced by the Soul Guidance Department," Huo Yuhao said.

"What does 'Magnetic Levitation Express No.1' mean?" Ma Xiaotao and a group of inner court team members were a little confused.

"You can think of it as a kind of soul tool for traveling, a soul tool that doesn't consume too much soul power," Huo Yuhao explained briefly, and said, "Since we all need to use a flying soul tool anyway, why don't you senior sisters come with us?"

“That works too.” Ma Xiaotao nodded. Since she needed to use a soul tool anyway, if the soul tool didn’t work, it would only delay things a little.

"Hmph, it's nothing but a fancy trick, I don't need it." Tang San sneered.

"Excuse me, this maglev train can only accommodate 13 people, and we..." Huo Yuhao smiled, what did it mean that it could only accommodate 13 people?

Besides Huo Yuhao's Lionheart Society members, there were 8 other spots available. Huo Yuhao's invitees effectively excluded Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, Tang San, Dai Huabin, and Dai Heng.

The current team has 6 members, plus Wang Dong, who has no conflict with the team, and teacher Wang Yan, making it full.

"what do you mean?"

"Isn't it obvious? Tang San, you can ride a flying soul tool with Senior Dai, Senior Bei Bei, Dai Huabin, and Senior Xu Sanshi, or you can use your Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Step to travel!" Huo Yuhao said in a slightly cold voice. "Besides, Tang San, aren't your Tang Sect's hidden weapons just strange and ingenious techniques?"

"Huo Yuhao, you!"

"Tang San, this is my soul tool. I have the right to invite and refuse others. Don't be so hypocritical." Huo Yuhao opened the car door and gestured an invitation to Ma Xiaotao and the others.

The group looked at each other, facing a choice: choose Huo Yuhao, a promising talent, and offend the powerful Dai family, or choose Dai Heng and antagonize Huo Yuhao?

To be fair, Huo Yuhao's soul tool was actually the best choice. There were still many unpredictable events along the way, so preserving soul power was the best option.

Ma Xiaotao sat down without thinking, followed by Ling Luochen. She could feel that Huo Yuhao had a fatal attraction for her, but she was stunned after learning about Huo Yuhao's martial soul. She only sat down now with a sense of curiosity.

Then came Xi Xi, Gongyang Mo, Yao Haoxuan, and Chen Zifeng. They had trained more than once these past few days, and it could be said that with Huo Yuhao around, they were invincible.

Just as Wang Dong was about to sit down, a wave of nausea washed over him. His expression changed, and he jumped out of the car and began to dry heave.

"What's going on?" Huo Yuhao was a little confused, but after glancing at Tang San, he suddenly realized what was happening.

Tang San's lips curled up as he looked at Huo Yuhao with a cold smile.

Huo Yuhao then realized that Tang San was no good. Not only did he put a chastity lock on Tang Wutong, he also cursed Wang Dong so that he couldn't use a soul tool.

"It's nothing, it's my fault! Ugh..." Wang Dong waved his hand.

"Elder Yi, Uncle-Master, is there any way to solve this?" Huo Yuhao asked after explaining Wang Dong's situation.

"This is simple," said the Celestial Hound to Huo Yuhao. "Use your Purification Pill. This pill is the most basic purification. It will break through after merging with my spiritual power."

"Understood." Huo Yuhao calmly took out the Purification Pill from his soul tool and said to Wang Dong, "Eat this, and then hurry up and get in the car."

"What kind of pill is this?" Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao with some wariness. This Lionheart Society president had crushed her pride and then came to her rescue. If it weren't for Huo Yuhao having women on his left and right, she would have almost fallen for him.

"Motion sickness medicine," Huo Yuhao said casually. He had made this pill to prevent the corpse poison of the Grim Reaper, but he never expected it could also be used as motion sickness medicine.

"Oh." Wang Dong ate it without thinking. She felt a warm current flow through her abdomen, and then her body felt a little relaxed.

"What's going on?" Wang Dong was a little confused, but Tang San was dumbfounded. What was Huo Yuhao doing?

"In that case, let's get going." Huo Yuhao said to Wang Dong, then got into the driver's seat of the maglev train, with Ning Tian in the passenger seat.

"Oh." Wang Dong nodded, glanced at Tang San and Dai Heng, whose faces were green, and quickly got into the car.

"Xiao Qi, don't..." Tang San said through gritted teeth as he watched Wang Dong run away quickly.

"Tang San, he's a man," Dai Huabin said quietly, barely moving away from him.

Tang San turned around and saw Bei Bei looking strange, Xu Sanshi looking indifferent, and the Dai brothers looking at him warily. He forced a smile and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Senior Brother is straight."

"I believe you, Tang San."

No! Why would you retreat that far?!

"Let's set off." Dai Heng sighed as he looked at the group.

"Yuhao, is this... maglev express train the one you and the teachers were talking about?" Ning Tian asked, looking at the clouds. Maglev express trains are more complex than flying soul tools; she had never seen such a design in Douluo Continent.

"That's about it," Huo Yuhao said.

"This soul tool is actually quite useful," Ma Xiaotao said.

"I disagree with what Senior Ma said," Huo Yuhao said as he drove. "The maglev train is a groundbreaking creation, and in addition, the function of the soul tool is reflected in all aspects of life."

"Tell me about it." Ma Xiaotao is the type who explodes at the slightest provocation, and right now Huo Yuhao is going crazy on her trigger points—but what Huo Yuhao says is indeed not a problem, which makes her very curious.

"As we all know, the Soul Masters in the Douluo Three Kingdoms are not as prestigious as traditional Soul Masters," Huo Yuhao said. Everyone nodded in agreement. This was indeed true. The Soul Masters in the Douluo Three Kingdoms did not have a very high status, but at the very least, they were one level lower than Soul Masters.

"So... why do Soul Masters always use Soul Guidance Devices, yet look down on Soul Guidance Techniques? It's simply because they think these are just fancy tricks."

"Has anyone considered that if a Soul Master can use Soul Tools properly, his combat power would be twice that of an ordinary Soul Master?"

"For that era, the words of the Heavenly Lord were undoubtedly treasonous, or rather, treasonous to most Soul Master cultivators, but it cannot be denied that the Heavenly Lord's ideas were correct."

"Whether it's the starships, sea patrol warships, hunting mechs, or mech armor produced by the Industrial Manufacturing Division today, they are all developed and innovated based on magnetic levitation."

"Their combat power is several times that of ordinary Soul Masters and cultivators. Most importantly, even ordinary people who are not Destiny Walkers or cultivators can use them."

"This also proves the words of the Heavenly Emperor and the ideal in his heart." — Gongzao Si Gongzheng Mangtian.

Chapter 64 First Encounter with Dai Hao, the Antimatter Legion!

"Take senior Chen Zifeng for example. He has strong attack power, but his defense is insufficient. If he were equipped with a soul tool that increases defense and speed, wouldn't his survivability be even stronger?"

“You can only contribute if you’re alive, right?” Huo Yuhao said.

Chen Zifeng paused for a moment, then frowned.

He was always at the forefront of the formation, and had narrowly escaped death countless times. No one understood the importance of defense better than him, but his deeply ingrained belief that "Soul Masters rely on themselves" never made him consider using Soul Tools to compensate for his weaknesses. He couldn't refute that statement.

"Take Sister Xixi for example. Her martial soul has enough speed but not enough attack. Could she wear an attack soul tool to enhance her attack? Or... instead of struggling with a strong attack soul ring, why not equip her with a set of high-explosive soul bombs, rely on speed to break through defenses, throw them and retreat, a pure speed bomber, the opponent can't even touch you and will still take full damage."

Xixi's eyes lit up instantly. She had always been troubled by her lack of attack power, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't keep up with the burst damage of the offensive type. She had never thought that there was another way to go.

"And then there are the senior members of the Shrek Surveillance Corps, who spend years hunting down evil soul masters, facing death nine times out of ten." Huo Yuhao's tone became a little somber. "If everyone were equipped with high-level defensive soul tools, at least 30% of the casualties could be reduced."

The carriage fell completely silent.

Don't they understand the principle? No, they do.

From the very first day of enrollment, the words "Soul Masters are Supreme" were etched into their very bones. They subconsciously felt that Soul Masters who relied on external tools were inferior! Soul tools were nothing but strange and ingenious tricks!

"It's not just about cultivation and combat." Huo Yuhao didn't stop, continuing to broaden the scope, "Let's talk about communication soul tools. Everyone has used the Yu Zhao system recently, which allows for real-time communication over a hundred miles without delay. If an entire legion were equipped with this system, command and dispatch efficiency could increase tenfold. On the battlefield, a difference of one second can mean the difference between life and death."

"It's even more common in everyday life. The milk tea at the Lionheart Fireplace has been changed from being hand-made to being squeezed and boiled by a soul-guided machine, increasing efficiency fivefold. Soul-guided devices have never been anything unorthodox; they've long since permeated every aspect of life."

Ma Xiaotao took a deep breath. As the captain, she represented the traditional Soul Master's position and asked in a deep voice, "After saying so much, are you looking down on Soul Masters?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and smiled, his tone gentle yet sharp: "It's not that I look down on you, I'm a Soul Master myself. It's just that some people always talk about 'Soul Master dignity' and feel ashamed to use external things. Strength is fundamental, but external forces are never wrong. Many times, external forces are the main force that can determine life and death."

Huo Yuhao's tone was slightly calmer, but it carried a heavy weight: "Moreover, when a force becomes so powerful that all factions are wary of it, its destruction is not far off."

These words came out of nowhere, and Ma Xiaotao opened her mouth to refute them, but suddenly she couldn't speak. It wasn't that she didn't understand the saying "the taller the tree, the more the wind will blow," but no one had ever spoken to her so bluntly and so harshly before.

Shrek Academy isn't in this situation now, but it will be after unification.

There are examples of this...

That's right, it's Shrek Academy from the time of the Legend of the Dragon King in the third battle. Everyone was hoping it would die!

The Spirit Pagoda handed over the knife, the Federation turned a cold shoulder, and the Holy Spirit Cult was framed.

Being bombarded by a god-slaying soul-guided cannon was unavoidable!

"I understand." Ma Xiaotao nodded, then fell silent.

Huo Yuhao didn't say anything more, giving these guys time to think.

Huo Yuhao's words inspired not only the Shrek Academy's regular members, but also Gu Yue.

She looked at Huo Yuhao thoughtfully. This approach seemed to apply to the soul beast race as well. She had taken note of Huo Yuhao's theory of "forging with spirit." Right now, Xiong Jun was leading the Dark Gold Terrorclaw race in a vigorous forging effort.

Before we knew it, half a day had passed.

[Douxing Navigation reminds you that the Mingdou Mountains are 100 meters away. Soldiers from the White Tiger Army are patrolling this location. Please be aware.]

A sudden mechanical voice rang out, and Huo Yuhao said, "Attention, seniors, we have arrived at our station."

"Ah, Yuhao, you're not wrong, are you?" Ning Tian rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned.

There was no way around it; the maglev train was very stable, and Huo Yuhao's spiritual energy was of very high quality, so it didn't stop at all the way. Plus, the air conditioning was on, which made Ning Tian so comfortable that he fell asleep.

"Of course, this No.1 Maglev Express has a radar navigation system that I specially customized, so it won't make any mistakes." Huo Yuhao rubbed Ning Tian's head and said with a smile.

"How annoying." Ning Tian blushed. (€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€)

Gu Yue: #(€€ヘ€€#)

"Gentlemen, I am Du Leisi. This is the White Tiger Army's base. Please state your names." Just as they stopped, an old man in armor appeared, looking at them calmly and warily.

Ma Xiaotao stepped forward and showed off her Shrek Academy team badge: "We are Shrek Academy contestants, and I am Ma Xiaotao, the captain of the team."

Dureth glanced at the badges, his expression softening slightly: "So it's the Shrek Academy. Please wait a moment while I inform General Dai."

"No need to announce it."

A lazy voice came from the side. Everyone turned their heads and saw a disheveled old man leaning against a tree trunk, holding a wine gourd in his hand. His hair was messy, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
