Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 141 Dai Hao: Observing the Excellent Performance of His Two Sons

Outside the White Tiger Duke's military camp of the Star Luo Empire's Mingdou Mountain Range garrison.

Wang Yan, along with his disciples, came to the army's encampment for a temporary stay. Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger, who was training his body and practicing his boxing with great vigor, warmly greeted them.

"Welcome, Teacher Wang Yan and all the top students from Shrek Academy... Wait, isn't there any senior student leading the group?"

Duke White Tiger sensed and counted; there were only fifteen people, none of whom exuded a powerful aura.

However, the information he received in advance was that the Shrek Academy's inspection team was being led by a very powerful elder who would be assisting them in eliminating the evil spirit masters.

What about people?

Dai Hao frowned slightly, looking extremely puzzled.

Duke White Tiger was not giving up and used his mental power to search the surroundings to see if any hidden auras were following him, but he still could not sense anything.

"An elder is accompanying the group," Wang Yan truthfully reported. "Elder Xuan is waiting outside. After the disciples have finished resting in the army, they will enter the Mingdou Mountain Range together."

Duke White Tiger suddenly realized that Elder Xuan would not easily take action unless his life was in danger in order to train his students. "I see. Please come in, everyone, and let's discuss the issue of eliminating the evil soul masters."

Wang Yan and his disciples followed Duke Baihu into the military tent.

Dai Yueheng stepped forward from the crowd, quickly took a few steps, and knelt on one knee with Dai Huabin before Duke Baihu, respectfully saying, "Father."

Duke White Tiger smiled and asked the two brothers to stand up, his tone carrying a hint of approval and pride.

"You did a good job. I didn't expect that you two brothers would both have the opportunity to play. If you can find the time, I will personally watch your game."

With toasts and exchanges of drinks, the banquet was more than halfway over.

Wang Yan inquired about some clues related to the Death Hand bandit group, as well as more detailed information, before preparing to take his leave of Duke White Tiger.

Duke White Tiger pondered, "The members of the Death Hand Bandit Gang's evil soul masters are generally at the second or third ring level. The main problem is that we can't pinpoint their exact location. In addition, they often escape to the Sun and Moon side of the Mingdou Mountains, making it difficult for the army to intervene directly."

"As for the leader, there is no definite information. All we know is that he calls himself the Messenger of Death and that his cultivation level is a five-ring Soul King."

The White Tiger Duke still hasn't figured out what the Grim Reaper's abilities are.

After Wang Yan and the others had eaten and drunk their fill and rested enough, he stood up and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Thank you for the information, Your Grace. Knowing the leader's cultivation level is enough. The core disciples of our inner academy are all above level 50, so we can easily eliminate him. Your Grace is busy with military affairs, so I won't bother you any longer."

Duke White Tiger, confident in the Shrek Supervisory Council's capabilities, smiled and nodded.

"In that case, I will not try to keep you any longer. If you need any supplies, just send someone to the army to let me know. I will wait for your good news in the camp."

Xuanzi did not enter the tent. After seeing everyone come out, he took a bite of chicken and a sip of wine, and then swayed over.

After seeing the students off, Duke Baihu noticed Xuanzi's disheveled appearance.

He frowned. Was this the elder who was protecting the team? He seemed a bit unreliable. The Death Hand bandit gang was treacherous and cunning. Would they be wiped out?

However, its leader was only a Soul King, and the average cultivation level of the entire Death Hand Bandit Gang was only three rings. His eldest son, Dai Yueheng, could easily kill them.

Although Elder Xuan may seem unreliable, he should be able to protect the students without fail when facing such a low-level evil spirit master team.

Using the blood of bandits and real combat to inspire the fighting spirit of the trainees... this method is indeed efficient.

Duke White Tiger laughed heartily when he thought of the Shrek Academy's participants this year: "Haha, as expected of my two good sons, one is in the regular team and the other is in the reserve team. They really make me proud."

"Once we've completed this military deployment, we'll head back to Star Luo City to see this year's Soul Master Competition and witness the outstanding performances of Yue Heng and Hua Bin on the field!"

……

Shrek Academy left relatively early because Xuanzi was leading his disciples on a journey to eliminate evil spirit masters.

Before departing for Star Luo City to participate in the Soul Master Competition, Meng Hongchen, having acquired Battle Armor, engaged in a friendly 1v1 sparring match with Di Ruiqiu at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Di Rachel, come up here and take your beating! Let's see how I deal with you."

Meng Hongchen stood on the arena platform, her ice-blue longsword pointing directly at Di Ruiqiu, and uttered a few harsh words.

She wasn't wearing her one-word battle armor at the moment; she was simply holding her sword, intending to show Di Ruiqiu how her aura had risen to the seventh ring.

Di Ruiqiu snorted: "Yuhao, look at her. She's become so arrogant after getting the battle armor. No wonder she's restless when she sleeps with you. Yuhao, you'd better keep a close eye on her from now on."

When Meng Hongchen saw Di Ruiqiu whispering to Huo Yuhao, she immediately knew that Di Ruiqiu was talking badly about her. Her eyes turned slightly fierce as she glared at Di Ruiqiu.

"Di Ruiqiu, if you're scared, just call me Sister Meng and say 'I was wrong,' and I won't hold it against you."

"Hey!?" Di Ruiqiu's eyes flashed with anger. "Yuhao, look at her. She dares to talk back to me like that today. She'll dare to ride roughshod over you from now on."

Huo Yuhao sighed softly, patted Rachel Di on the shoulder, and slowly shook his head: "Rachel, I can't help you."

"Last time, when Senior Silver Dragon King came up behind you, he delivered a Golden Dragon Fist that terrified Sister Meng. She couldn't rest until she avenged that punch."

Before facing the battle armor head-on, Di Ruiqiu was not afraid at all and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Yuhao, I don't believe she can really master the strength of the seventh ring."

Golden dragon wings appeared on her back, and she flew to the other side of the arena.

Jing Hongchen called over the other students from the regular and reserve teams, intending to show them the new technology of the battle armor. Since he would have to require these students to learn forging later anyway, there was no need to hide Meng Hongchen's one-word battle armor.

Seeing his younger sister, who was radiating confidence in the arena, Xiao Hongchen was slightly puzzled: "Yuhao, Grandpa, is Meng running a fever today? Isn't challenging Rachel to a duel just asking for trouble?"

Jing Hongchen glanced at his grandson with a half-smile: "Meng now possesses a powerful suit of armor, and her strength has greatly increased. Don't underestimate your sister."

Xiao Hongchen was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it just that level six soul guide full-body armor? Grandpa, you told me about it before. It's about the strength of a sixth ring."

"However, with Rachel's Golden Dragon Martial Soul, plus the Ultimate Fire and Ultimate Light, challenging opponents of higher levels shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Jing Hongchen, with an air of profound mystery, told his grandson that not all armor is the same, and that the Level 6 Soul Guidance Full Body Armor was far inferior to the armor Meng Hongchen was about to wear.

Xiao Hongchen's interest was immediately piqued. Could it be that his grandfather used even more advanced technology to create the full-body armor? If it could give his sister the confidence to challenge Di Ruiqiu, then he had to arrange a set for her as well.

Besides Xiao, Yuhao, Meng, and Di Ruiqiu, the other three members of this reserve team are Nana, Zhou Xinghao, and Lan Xiu, all of whom were selected through the selection competition last semester.

Jing Hongchen greeted the other three members of the reserve team and the seven members of the regular team, including Ma Rulong, with a smile.

"The female student standing opposite Meng on the field is the seventh member of the reserve team, named Di Ruiqiu. Her martial soul talent is no less than Yuhao's. She is sparring with Meng now to test the amplification effect of the armor."

After the sparring session, Jing Hongchen and another teacher, Master Ma, prepared to lead the students to Xingluo City.

As Soul Masters, they possess advanced flying Soul Tools, so their running speed is naturally not inferior. What Shrek Academy takes two days to cover, they can do in a day and a half at most.

Jing Hongchen then introduced another blonde girl to the students.

"Her name is Ye Guyi. She is also very talented, but she will not participate in this competition. She will go to watch the competition with me."

Ye Guyi greeted the senior students with a smile, but soon she seemed to sense something unusual.

"Huh? There's an evil spirit master?!"

Ye Guyi felt a chill run down her spine. She stared at Nana for several seconds, seriously suspecting that she had been exposed to the aura of an evil soul master. She considered whether she should activate her martial soul and shine holy light on her.

Even Huo Yuhao couldn't escape her holy light back then.

Nana was puzzled when she noticed the blonde girl staring intently at her with a hint of aggression in her eyes.

"Yuhao..." Ye Guyi walked quietly to Huo Yuhao's side, tugged at his sleeve, gestured to Nana, and whispered in Huo Yuhao's ear, "Look at her aura... isn't she an evil soul master?"

Ye Guyi's small face was serious. Could she be an undercover agent in our academy?

Huo Yuhao smiled. The biggest undercover agent of the evil soul masters is in Shrek Academy.

In fact, if Nana herself did not release the Ghost Martial Soul, she would not have any aura of an evil soul master. It's just that Ye Guyi's Holy Angel Martial Soul is more sensitive to this kind of martial soul.

Huo Yuhao organized his thoughts: "Sister Gu Yi, we can't judge whether someone is an evil soul master just by their martial soul. We need to look at what they do to determine if they are a good person."

Ye Guyi's eyes lit up slightly, as if she had figured something out, and she suddenly realized: "I understand, Yuhao. You mean that although this senior's martial soul isn't very good, she's a good person."

Huo Yuhao thought about it and realized that it made sense. He smiled and said, "Your understanding is correct."

Ye Guyi readily withdrew her gaze, no longer paying attention to Nana. She was aware that she wouldn't reveal even a trace of her Angelic Martial Soul aura at the barbecue restaurant.

Mingde Hall is full of legitimate soul masters. If Nana were really associated with any evil soul master, she certainly wouldn't use the ghost martial soul ability so openly.

Ma Rulong's gaze kept shifting between Meng Hongchen and Di Ruiqiu in the arena, puzzled.

"Master, if you want to test the amplification of combat power by the Level 6 Soul Guidance Full Body Armor, it would be difficult for Di Ruiqiu, as Meng Hongchen's sparring partner, to test it out."

"Shouldn't we bring Yuhao along for support?" Ma Rulong felt that even if Di Ruiqiu had a high martial soul talent, Meng Hongchen was wearing a level six soul guide full armor, so the result of testing against Di Ruiqiu alone was not very impressive.

Jing Hongchen slowly shook his head. "Yuhao's mental detection affects the balance of the sparring. I just want to see if Meng can crush you after putting on this armor."

"Crushing... Rachel?" Xiao Hongchen thought that perhaps his grandfather had drunk some fake alcohol today, oh Rachel's ultimate power and ultimate light.

My sister is wearing a full set of level six soul-guided armor. Let alone completely crushing her, it would be difficult for her to even gain a slight advantage and ultimately win.

Xiao Hongchen couldn't understand the source of his grandfather's confidence, so he asked, "Yuhao, what do you think of Meng's combat power after she puts on the armor?"

Huo Yuhao chuckled, thinking that if Rachel didn't use any divine intervention techniques, she would indeed have a high probability of being crushed by Meng Hongchen, after all, the difference between the two spirit rings was obvious.

"Brother Xiao, you'll understand soon enough." Huo Yuhao told Xiao Hongchen to keep a close eye on things, as he would be even more confused after being shocked by the battle armor.

At this moment, Ye Guyi said excitedly, "Look, Miss Meng and Rachel are about to fight! Wait, why does Rachel look like she's been deceived by a heartless man?"

Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen, and the others focused their attention on the sparring arena.

Meng Hongchen's fair skin contained boundless power. With a gentle wave of her slender right arm, she channeled her soul power, and eleven clusters of light flew out from her storage ring, swirling around the corresponding parts of her body.

On her smooth, jade-like forehead, a pattern of silver and ice blue intertwined was reflected. In a few breaths, the magnificent pattern spread to her smooth neck, down her back and chest, then to her arms, waist, hips, and legs...

From headband to combat boots, all the battle armor parts were quickly put on, covering Meng Hongchen's entire body.

Her aura suddenly surged, rising from a level 53 Soul King to a level 7 Soul Saint.

"Is this the level six soul-guided full-body armor that Grandpa prepared for Meng... It's really quite cool." Xiao Hongchen commented, but when he sensed it through his spiritual power, he was suddenly shocked.

"What?! Seven rings?!"

Upon seeing this scene, Xiao Hongchen's expression froze instantly, and his pupils contracted sharply. His senses hadn't lied to him, had they?

"I'm so envious..." Ye Guyi looked at Meng Hongchen, who was dressed in battle armor and exuded charm, with bright eyes. "Yuhao, since I'm willing to be your boss, and you quite like sensing my divine aura, don't you?"

"If I let you experience the divine aura for a few more years, can you help me forge a set of battle armor?" Ye Guyi blinked her clear eyes.

Her fair, jade-like face seemed to be veiled in a holy glow, her eyes sparkling as she gave Huo Yuhao a "holy and beautiful" smile.

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback when he saw her saintly appearance, pure and innocent, and intolerant of any taint: "Uh... Sister Gu Yi, are you trying to seduce me so that I won't have the heart to refuse you?"

"No, it's just that I seduced you, cough... I sincerely beg you to make me a battle armor. Besides, you're so young, I wouldn't be so heartless as to lock you in a small secret room just to make battle armor for me alone."

Huo Yuhao also knew about the secret chamber talent skill of the Angel Martial Soul. He patted Ye Guyi on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, once I've mastered the ability to make one-word battle armor, you'll definitely get your share."

Ye Guyi was overjoyed. If she possessed a set of angelic battle armor and cultivated her soul power to its peak, she would be like a holy angel or deity in the heavens... Ye Guyi couldn't even imagine how amazing that would be.
