Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao obtains the Flame Emperor template

Chapter 159 Golden Dragon King Embryo

At the same time, Shrek Academy's spectator disciples were promoted to official positions.

In the meeting room of the Sun and Moon team, Jing Hongchen was enthusiastically explaining his tactical arrangements.

"Even our Sun and Moon team has already maximized the strength of this season's lineup."

"However, Shrek Academy's lineup of two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings is still formidable. Without using our trump cards, dealing with them will not be easy."

Jing Hongchen didn't want the students to be too relaxed during the competition, so he wanted everyone to have the right attitude and take every match seriously.

He held a Shrek Academy intelligence report in his hand. Clearly, Jing Hongchen's intelligence was not up-to-date. He looked at the two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings of Shrek Academy's main team.

"In previous Soul Master Tournaments, our Sun Moon Team was able to advance to the finals with overwhelming momentum thanks to our superior Soul Guidance Devices."

"But in the end, none of them escaped defeat at the hands of Shrek."

Jing Hongchen spoke with great emotion, a look of remorse appearing on his face, feeling ashamed of his long-standing reputation as the second-in-command.

Xiao Hongchen smiled proudly: "Grandpa, that's because Yuhao, Di Ruiqiu, and I weren't in the previous Soul Master Competition."

"With the three of us here, even if there are only two Soul Emperors and five Soul Kings from Shrek Academy, they will all be blown to bits by my Soul Guidance Cannon and Yuhao's Fire Lotus."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen pondered for a moment and realized that apart from the two Soul Emperors of the Shrek Academy team, no one could withstand Yuhao's Three-Colored Fire Lotus.

Wouldn't this Soul Master Competition be a sure thing, with Yuhao dominating all the way to the finals and Meng then donning the One-Word Battle Armor to defeat the Soul Emperor of the Shrek Academy team...?

There's no skill involved, it's all about intensity.

Jing Hongchen asked with a gentle expression, "Yuhao, is your plan to continue using the Fire Lotus to win the competition?"

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment. He had just obtained the Earth-rank combat skill, Flame Dividing Wave Ruler, a few days ago. He had practiced it in the Undead Demiplane for the past two days and naturally wanted to use it to test the waters in the competition.

The Tricolor Fire Lotus is currently his most powerful trump card, but he can't keep using it as a basic attack forever; he has to keep something hidden from other teams.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly: "Hall Master, the Buddha's Wrath Lotus is still used as a trump card. After Rachel and I absorbed the energy of the fire-attribute dragon, we mastered a new skill."

He didn't hide anything: "It's called Flame Dividing Wave Ruler. I plan to practice this skill during the competition."

Jing Hongchen laughed and said, "Good, that's fine too. Using the Fire Lotus directly is too easy, and you won't learn any competition experience."

Xiao Hongchen took a few sips of his drink and felt a little lightheaded.

"In this year's Soul Master Competition, the 2-2-3 format, Yuhao, Di Ruiqiu, and I completely dominated it, haha, we were a total scumbag."

Xiao Hongchen thought for a moment and realized he seemed to have forgotten someone.

"Speaking of which, before Yuhao brought Di Ruiqiu to school, the trio should include my sister."

"But considering that Meng isn't wearing her One-Word Battle Armor, she's practically useless as a close-combat Soul Master. By the time Meng gets close to her opponent, Yuhao and I will have already blown them away."

"Di Rachel possesses ultimate brilliance. In terms of speed in defeating opponents, she is definitely not inferior to me and Yuhao in directly exploding."

Meng Hongchen narrowed her eyes slightly: "Brother, you really know how to talk. When you go to sleep tonight, I suggest you use your soul power to seal your mouth and nose, and try not to breathe, to avoid air poisoning."

Di Ruiqiu chuckled and said seriously, "Miss Meng, don't let the power of the One-Word Battle Armor cloud your judgment. Always remember, without the battle armor, neither of you would be a match for me."

Meng Hongchen's eyes flashed with anger. She slammed her hand on the table, rolled up her sleeves, and shouted, "Di Rachel! Let's go outside and fight one-on-one!"

Huo Yuhao quickly helped her roll down her sleeves and comforted her, "When you put on your battle armor in the finals, won't you amaze all the audience?"

Meng Hongchen winked at Huo Yuhao. "Hmm, Di Ruiqiu is just envious that she has battle armor to wear."

Seeing the children getting along so well, Jing Hongchen smiled with satisfaction and took out a universal card with 300 million gold soul coins in it.

Elder Ma's eyes widened: "Master, there will be several auctions at the Starlight Auction House this year, but surely it shouldn't cost 300 million gold soul coins?"

Huo Yuhao was also puzzled. Xue Di had become his soul spirit. Now that Xue Di's embryo was gone, what was Xingluo going to auction off?

……

The realm of the gods, the azure palace of the sea god.

The pure and immaculate Sea God was looking at a water mirror, the image on which seemed to show the interior of the Conferred God Platform. Tang San was thinking about the next arrangements, his expression unusually solemn. After a moment of thought, it turned into a righteous and awe-inspiring smile.

"That aura of deathly stillness is truly the evil divine consciousness from beyond the realm, created for the stability of the people of Douluo Continent, and for the peace and prosperity of the God Realm..."

"This god should do everything in his power to eliminate this evil divine soul from beyond the realm."

Tang San spoke righteously, even though the chosen one of destiny had completely deviated from his planned trajectory, his original grand plan still included the means to erase that wisp of divine consciousness...

He thought about it carefully and realized that even if the chosen one took a completely different path, there was still a high probability of success.

After all, the Conferred God Platform itself is a great opportunity, and it will eventually lean towards the chosen one.

Tang San's wisdom, surpassing that of all the gods, is undeniable. He will certainly make full use of this, using his first-rate god-king level methods to set up an intricately linked trap, and will eventually be able to erase that wisp of evil divine soul.

However, Tang San realized something was wrong as soon as he took the first step in manipulating his consciousness to use the Conferred God Platform to set up his scheme.

"Hmm? How could my premonition be wrong? The ferocious beast that should have been reborn as a human is nowhere to be found..."

In the original grand plan, the ferocious beast that had been reborn as a human was sealed away, and then handed over to Xingluo as a chance for him. Afterwards, the ferocious beast might self-destruct in the Sun and Moon.

Of course, Tang San's vision was not so narrow; he had naturally thought of a much deeper level.

Although he also loathed soul guidance technology, Tang San's purpose was not simply to destroy the Sun Moon Empire's advanced soul guidance equipment, but to use the self-destruction of the ferocious beast in the Conferred God Platform to erase the divine consciousness of that wisp of deathly aura.

Since this Conferred God Platform represents a great opportunity, it will eventually fall into the hands of the chosen one.

"If the original plan succeeds, then the self-destruction of the ferocious beast in the Conferred God Platform will be the first step I took to eliminate that wisp of evil divine consciousness from beyond the realm."

"Alas, what a pity... we didn't find that ferocious beast that should have been reborn as a human."

Tang San gripped the Trident of the Sea God, slowly shook his head, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes. He hadn't expected to encounter a setback in his very first move.

But the wisdom of the Sea God is no joke.

They quickly devised another plan, which, if successfully implemented, would be an even more powerful weapon than the self-destruction of a ferocious beast.

"It seems I'll have to put in a little more effort."

Tang San waved his hand in front of him, causing the space to ripple. He calmly stepped into the space and arrived at the central location where the Golden Dragon King was sealed. A golden spear appeared from the space, its body engraved with fine golden dragon scales. It was the Golden Dragon Spear.

Above, dazzling chains of divine power crisscrossed, each beam of divine light scattering like fragments of gold. Various god-king level runes shone brightly, and the chains coiled around the dragon cocoon, forming an indescribable powerful seal that contained a golden dragon.

Sensing Tang San's arrival, the giant golden dragon cocoon sealed by the divine power chain twitched a few times, and the Golden Dragon King suddenly released boundless ferocity.

However, when the Golden Dragon King saw Tang San teleport the Golden Dragon Spear to the lower realm, the resentment and madness that he had been unable to vent, which surged wildly, actually paused for a moment, making the Golden Dragon King laugh.

"It seems this Asura God is a fool."

The Golden Dragon King chuckled, carefully sensing the power, and realized, "Oh, I see. There's a seafood flavor mixed in with the Asura divine power."

"No wonder, the complete Golden Dragon Spear is much better than your fork."

After Tang San teleported the Golden Dragon Spear to the Conferred God Platform, he controlled the chain of Asura God Power to draw out a wisp of dragon cocoon aura.

This wisp of energy does not affect the seal on the Golden Dragon King's soul, but over countless years, due to the influence of the Golden Dragon King's various negative emotions, this wisp of energy also possesses resentment and madness, making it easy to detonate.

Tang San revealed a strange smile: "Although it is only a very slight trace of the dragon cocoon's aura, if it is detonated, the evil divine soul from beyond the realm will probably be unable to be suppressed without igniting its divine consciousness."

In his divine sense, the soul of the necromantic aura was so damaged that even a wisp of the dragon cocoon's aura would be enough to destroy it.

Tang San sighed slowly: "Originally, I should have used Xiao Qi to split off a wisp of her soul and send it to the lower realm along with the Golden Dragon Spear. But since the chosen one of destiny is so disobedient, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

As he spoke, a wide grin spread across his face.

Watching the Golden Dragon Spear and a trace of the Dragon Cocoon successfully teleport to the Conferred God Platform, Tang San glanced at the Dragon Cocoon and snorted. The Golden Dragon King sealed here was really an eyesore; he would deal with it sooner or later.

After doing all this, Tang San left the central location where the Golden Dragon King was sealed, satisfied, and even remarked with a sigh.

"This god is truly worried sick about the peaceful development of the divine realm!"

……

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, Starlight Auction House.

Knowing that her elder brother was planning to hold several auctions during the competition, Xu Jiujiu prepared the relevant auction items for the Starlight Auction House before the competition began.

Moreover, she had a strong interest in all kinds of rare and precious treasures, so she took the initiative to become an excellent auctioneer at the Starlight Auction House.

After a long time of learning about the auction items, she sat in front of the mirror and combed her long purple hair.

As a princess of Xingluo, she already possessed stunning beauty. Now, dressed in an auctioneer's gown, she stood before the mirror, applying a touch of vibrant red to her lips with a lip pencil, adding a touch of radiance to her elegant and refined demeanor.

Just as she was about to change out of the auctioneer's suit, a loud "His Majesty has arrived" came from outside. She was a little puzzled. The Soul Master Competition was about to start tomorrow. Why was her brother suddenly at the auction house?

The auction house maids and other auctioneers moved to the sides to make way for Xu Jiawei.

Without time to think further, she put away the rouge box in front of the mirror, stood up, and gracefully walked out of the room. She gave an elegant bow to Xu Jiawei, who was dressed in a red imperial robe with star patterns: "I, Jiu Jiu, greet my imperial brother."

"Alright, no need for formalities. Why are you being so reserved with me?"

Xu Jiawei put on a gentle smile and used his soul power to ask his sister for help.

"Jiujiu, how's your part-time job at the Starlight Auction House going?"

Xu Jiu smiled and her mood brightened considerably when she mentioned her part-time job at the Starlight Auction House: "It's great. As an auctioneer, I've seen many rare and precious treasures."

"Jiujiu, take a look at this."

Xu Jiawei flipped his right hand and took out a golden-white tray with swirling energy from his storage soul tool. Rings of light floated around the wooden tray, and a faint aura of ferocity was suppressed by the tray.

After a long while, her eyes brightened slightly, revealing a clear interest. She noticed that the tray was inlaid with more than a hundred gemstones of various colors, and the rings surrounding it radiated a strange light.

Even without activating his soul power, the golden-white energy flow still moved toward the center of the embryo, surging left and right yet remaining condensed and undispersed.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, where did you obtain this soul tool?"

She stared wide-eyed for a long time, a look of astonishment at the embryo in her eyes. As a princess of the Star Luo royal family who also worked as an auctioneer, she had seen many rare treasures, so the gems on the tray naturally did not catch her eye.

What she cared more about was that the tray itself was far more valuable than the various gemstones on its surface.

Xu Jiujiu had worked part-time at the Starlight Auction House for a while and had seen many level six and seven soul tools from the Sun and Moon Black Market, but none of them were as good as the soul tool her brother possessed.

Xu Jiawei's expression turned serious, and he said with a puzzled look, "Not long ago, an unidentified Title Douluo visited the Star Luo Imperial Palace and gave me this embryo in the form of a barter."

"A Titled Douluo?"

After pondering for a long time, he asked with some uncertain surprise, "Brother, could this be a level nine soul tool?"

Xu Jiawei nodded seriously, "The titled Douluo explained it very clearly back then, telling me not to worry about the internal airflow leaking out. This tray is a level nine soul tool, the Conferred God Platform, which he developed with all his heart and soul."

However, looking at the Conferred God Platform in his hand, the strangeness in Xu Jiawei's eyes grew even stronger.

Everything happened very suddenly. The other party arrived just like Xuanzi. Before he could react, the other party appeared in front of him with an exaggerated smile on their lips.

Seeing that his expression was off, she asked with concern, "What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Xu Jiawei's expression was uncertain, puzzled: "When I communicated with that person, his words revealed a sense of miscalculation at every turn."

"They were saying strange things like, 'We could have destroyed most of the advanced soul-guiding instruments of the Sun and Moon Realm and dealt with the evil soul from beyond the realm...' and 'Why couldn't we find it? It seems we have to consider other ways to erase the soul...'"

Xu Jiawei fell into a brief moment of contemplation. After learning about Xuanzi's encounter with the corpse explosion, he became much more sensitive to the word "explosion": "Could that person also be an evil soul master?"
