Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 183 The Bald Old Man (Daily Ten Thousand Words)

On the podium, Qian Duoduo's report went very smoothly. Huo Yuhao had already paved the way for him as a teacher, so it would be inappropriate if things went wrong again.

Although it's a bit strange for students to pave the way for their teachers, Qian Duoduo doesn't care about that. If you're so capable, why don't you find a student who can pave the way for you?

Qian Duoduo snapped his fingers lightly, and hundreds of different types of new melee soul tools were presented one by one, ensuring that the scholars who came to observe the ceremony could share with each other and personally experience the wonders of this new type of melee soul tool.

Although the internally nested soul bones are all of the hundred-year level, the hundreds of soul bone-type melee soul tools on display are still dazzling.

Qian Duoduo didn't go on a frivolous tale about the changes brought about by the new technology. Instead, he briefly explained the principles of the new technology on the podium, and then snapped his fingers, ordering the waiters below to bring a large number of nested modules.

Qian Duoduo's meaning is very clear: soul bones can be taken away and exchanged at will, nested modules are free and can be wasted at will.

Jing Hongchen and that Elder Kong sat in the first row, their faces solemn. Jing Hongchen easily removed the soul bone from one of the soul tools using the disassembly method.

There was no need to install the soul bone anymore, so Jing Hongchen simply leaned back and rested his upper body on the chair in the first row.

He knew that the tide had turned, and the Sun Moon Empire's melee soul guide market was truly beyond saving.

The biggest advantage of Soul Bone type melee Soul Tools is that their power far exceeds that of other melee Soul Tools of the same level. While retaining this advantage, Shrek Academy's new technology has almost repaired all the shortcomings of Soul Bone type melee Soul Tools. What's the point of playing with them?

Of course, the most fundamental reason was Shrek Academy's months-long planning to acquire low-level soul bones from the market. This was the real reason why the Sun Moon Empire struggled so much to adapt to the new system.

Without soul bones, what are you going to use to research soul bone-type melee soul tools?

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, somewhat unwilling to give up, disassembled the soul bone and then took a brand new module to install the soul bone. They also alternately installed the two melee soul tools on the soul bone before finally having to accept reality.

Looking at the noisy discussion below, Qian Duoduo knew very well that the new type of melee soul tool had been created.

Qian Duoduo couldn't help but look down at the audience with a hint of pride. Whether it was the original Douluo Three Kingdoms or the Sun Moon Empire, everyone was curiously exchanging their new close-combat soul tools... no, it seemed not everyone.

Qian Duoduo's gaze was somewhat solemn. Two people sat in the last row of the conference room. Both were tall, one with an exceptionally thick right arm, at least twice the size of his left. The other was the complete opposite. Both of them, simply sitting there, exuded an aura of primal ferocity.

Of course, Qian Duoduo couldn't possibly know all the Soul Masters in Douluo Three Kingdoms, not even if the scope was narrowed down to Soul Masters of level seven and above. But if the other party really was a Soul Master, it would be impossible for him to be indifferent to this Soul Tool that used new technology.

What are these two people here for?

A sense of unease suddenly arose in Qian Duoduo's heart. After finishing her report, she immediately called over Huo Yuhao and Ning Ge.

"We won't participate in the reports over the next few days; we'll just leave."

Qian Duoduo quickly led the two towards the buffet restaurant under the pretext of having lunch, then turned around and went into the restroom, where he jumped out of the window with the two of them.

"What's wrong, teacher?"

Huo Yuhao immediately activated the shared mental detection for Ning Ge and Qian Duoduo, and at the same time spread his questions to them using his mental power.

"There are two Soul Douluos sitting at the back of Lecture Hall One. I don't know what they're doing. They're not looking at their soul tools or listening to their technical reports. They seem to have ill intentions. Although I don't know who they're after, I'll take you back first."

Qian Duoduo also experienced a surge of mental energy. The group moved quickly and returned to the airship in no time. To save time, Qian Duoduo even carried Huo Yuhao and Ning Ge directly onto the high-altitude observation deck on the deck.

"That's strange. Those two Soul Douluos with abnormally thick arms look like they're from the Body Sect. What are these muscle-bound brutes doing at the Soul Master Technology Exchange Meeting?"

Qian Duoduo stood on the observation deck of the airship, gazing at the hotel in the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief and muttered something in confusion.

"Teacher, behind you..."

Huo Yuhao hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't. Although there was no one behind Qian Duoduo in his sight, his mental detection showed a gap, as if he couldn't detect that location no matter how he tried.

Behind me?

Qian Duoduo turned her head with some confusion. The next moment, the figure of an old man gazing into the distance from the railing of the plank slowly appeared.

Nine spirit rings lit up on Qian Duoduo's body, which was enveloped in black light, and a giant shield was held in his hand.

The giant shield was square, adorned with a black dragon motif. The dragon was barely visible, but its eyes were not a brilliant gold; instead, they were red. Two rubies were embedded in the shield's surface.

This is Qian Duoduo's martial spirit, the Black Dragon Shield.

Why did Qian Duoduo take Ning Ge as her apprentice?

Because Ning Ge's reasons for choosing the path of soul tools are too similar to his. They both desperately crave powerful offensive capabilities. Ning Ge's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda lacks powerful offensive capabilities, and so does Qian Duoduo's Black Dragon Shield!

The old man made no comment on Qian Duoduo's actions, simply watching quietly as Qian Duoduo's nine spirit rings took their places.

"You're no good. Xuanzi would be more suitable."

The old man stopped leaning against the railing, slowly turned around, and uttered an extremely arrogant statement.

The sound seemed faint at first glance, but once it reached their ears, it boomed like thunderclaps exploding in their minds. Even more terrifying was that the sound enveloped the entire airship; those few simple words gave the three of them a feeling of impending doom, as if dark clouds were gathering over a city.

The old man slowly turned around. He was a tall old man with long, dark green hair that was draped behind him. But what was funny was that he was bald on top of his head.

The old man's face was rosy like a baby's, with hardly any wrinkles. The only thing that revealed his age was the vicissitudes in his equally dark green eyes.

Upon hearing the familiar voice and seeing the familiar face behind the old man, Huo Yuhao's long-dormant memories gradually resurfaced, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Poisoned the old man?"

"You little rascal, you have a pretty good memory."
