Chapter 171 Refining the Body with Essence and Blood, Divine Test Completed

As the residence of the Sun Moon Royal Family, the Sun Moon Palace is already heavily guarded. Moreover, with the old king now ailing and practically incapacitated, and the royal heirs on the throne wary of each other, the security is naturally even tighter.

A soldier arrived at the outer perimeter of the palace, handed over the duties to the palace guards, and walked to the front of the Crown Prince's East Palace.

"I need to see Your Highness; I have important matters to report."

The soldier knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

The guard glanced at him, confirmed his identity, and then entered the palace.

Not long after, he came out again.

"Come in," the guard said to the soldier.

As the two entered the palace, a faint voice rang out.

"Xu Weiyi? Come in, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

The palace was magnificent yet retains an ancient charm, with eight-clawed fire dragon patterns appearing everywhere on the various decorations. Behind the desk, a young man in white sat, his stern gaze sweeping across the faces of the soldiers.

"Xu Weiyi greets Your Highness." The soldier knelt on the ground.

"Get up," Xu Tianran said softly.

The soldier hurriedly stood up, but before he could even stand properly, he heard His Highness the Crown Prince speak.

"Weren't you with the patrol team in Mingdu? What's the rush?"

"Your Highness, something has happened to the building you previously asked me to keep an eye on," the soldier reported.

"What is it?" Xu Tianran asked without changing his expression.

"It collapsed, it seems to have been destroyed by a powerful force!" the soldier said hurriedly.

Xu Tianran nodded, then waved his hand: "Go out."

"Yes!" The soldier nodded and then left the palace under the guidance of the guards.

"My dear prospective Imperial Advisor, did you hear me clearly?"

After the guards left, Xu Tianran spoke with a light laugh.

From the shadows, a man in black robes slowly emerged, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"Your Highness should be aware that our Holy Sect's branch altars in Mingdu have been repeatedly destroyed by mysterious figures."

"But now even the main and branch altars have been destroyed, this is going too far, Your Highness."

"If you hadn't asked me to teach those with banned accounts not to fight, would things have come to this?"

The man in black robes spoke in a low voice, even with a hint of resentment.

"Heh, what does that have to do with me?" Xu Tianran chuckled. "The destructive power of battles between titled masters is too great, and it will cause irreparable consequences for Mingdu. You should be aware of that."

"I've already shown my sincerity by allowing your Holy Spirit Cult to enter Mingdu. If you want to go further, then I'll have to test your strength."

"It's been so long, and you still haven't caught a single person. This makes me seriously doubt the capabilities of your Holy Spirit Cult."

"It's unreasonable to send someone below the rank of title to arrest someone with the rank of title," the man in black said in a low voice.

"I didn't say I was going to arrest anyone. Once you know their true identities, you can mobilize the army and appoint officials to make the arrest. But you can't even see the attackers' true identities. How can I trust you?" Xu Tianran chuckled.

"Because of His Highness's orders, my sect has suffered enormous losses at the bottom." The man in black robes did not respond to Xu Tianran's words, but only said in a low voice.

"So what? Didn't you also recruit quite a few people from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy?" Xu Tianran smiled.

The man in black robes remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "In any case, next time my sect will send out a titled expert."

"Then get out of Mingdu," Xu Tianran said coldly. "If you can't even handle this small matter, how can I trust you to help me ascend the throne and defeat the Douluo Three Kingdoms?"

"You!" The man in black robes was furious. He pointed at Xu Tianran for a long time without saying a word, and finally left the palace.

Xu Tianran watched him leave, gently tapping the table before finally speaking, "Did you find them?"

A figure emerged from his shadow and respectfully reported, "Your Highness, we still haven't found any trace of them."

"How long has it been? We and the Holy Spirit Cult are both searching for that person. The Holy Spirit Cult hasn't found him, and neither have we?" Xu Tianran frowned and said coldly.

"Keep searching! Keep looking!"

"Such a powerful individual must be brought under my control!"

A cold glint appeared in Xu Tianran's eyes.

"The Holy Spirit Cult harbors wolfish ambitions, and now someone can check and balance them. That person must be in my hands! He will be my best weapon against the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" The figure disappeared into the shadows once more.

Xu Tianran gazed calmly into the distance for a while before looking down at his legs.

It was completely empty.

"waste!"

Outside the palace, the black-robed imperial advisor walked slowly on the smooth stone path.

"Damn it!"

The black-robed imperial advisor cursed angrily, then suddenly waved his hand.

The next moment, several members of the Holy Spirit Cult dressed in white robes appeared around him.

"Pass the order! I'm instructing you to remain still until the attackers are located!"

"We can't afford to lose any more manpower!"

The black-robed imperial advisor coldly glanced in Xu Tianran's direction.

"Since we can't find them, let's just stall!"

"We can afford to drag this out, but that Xu Tianran guy might not be so lucky!"

In the courtyard of Sun and Moon, Old Wu of Shrek Academy sat quietly on a stone chair, looking at Xixi and Ling Luochen in front of him.

"So you were saved by a mysterious powerful figure?"

Old Wu looked at Ling Luochen.

Ling Luochen nodded: "A titled expert with the ultimate ice martial soul."

"The title of Ultimate Ice..." Old Wu pondered for a moment, then finally looked at the others.

"Find him! Find a way to locate him! The enemy of my enemy is my friend! He could be an asset!"

"yes!"

The Shrek Guard should disembark.

Ling Luochen nodded in agreement, but touched the spiritual crystal he wore as a necklace without saying a word.

In an instant, the Ming capital was in turmoil as three forces simultaneously searched for the attacker lurking in the shadows.

But the attacker himself returned to the academy.

Upon arriving at the laboratory, Huo Yuhao changed the password and then found a corner to begin his body tempering training.

"I am ready, Elder Yi."

Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and said.

In the sea of ​​spirits, Electrolux nodded and waved his scepter!

The crystalline Xuanwu essence blood floated in front of him, and the next moment it directly covered Huo Yuhao's body!

"Sizzle!"

Like a scorching hot iron sheet, it instantly turns the skin red upon contact!

The Xuanwu essence blood spread across Huo Yuhao's body, and in an instant, it turned the Ice Jade Scorpion tattoo on Huo Yuhao's body into a blood-red color, just like a tattoo!

"Now! Begin the body tempering!"

Electrolux said sternly.

Huo Yuhao nodded immediately, and then purple-black lightning erupted from his body!

Destroyer's Thunder Hammer Chain Progress 1%!

2%, 3%, 4%...

The progress kept increasing, but ultimately it remained at 99%!

But at this moment, the divine lightning did not dissipate; instead, it became even more violent under the stimulation of the essence blood!

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened in shock!

A stinging sensation spread throughout my body!

That was a pain I had never felt before!

It almost tore his soul to pieces in an instant!
