Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 720 Heart-chilling Iron Essence (6K)

Once locked onto by a terrifying being of this level, even a Title Douluo would be utterly powerless to stop it. What's even more terrifying is that the attack range of a Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannonball is extremely large. Once it explodes, it destroys an entire space, not just a single point.

Five level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells were positioned in the same direction, a sight that even a powerhouse of Elder Xuan's caliber would be wary of. He might have the ability to rush through, but he couldn't possibly protect those around him.

For anyone, a level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is priceless. Huo Yuhao and his companions never expected that the Xi Shui Alliance would offer such a prize for their victory in this competition.

Originally, the information Chen An gave Huo Yuhao was just about the share of the bets. But the existence of this "cannonball" is far more valuable than any share. Because it's something that can't be measured in money, and it simply can't be bought!

Huo Yuhao had once heard Xuan Ziwen say that even a city of Mingdu's scale, the largest on the continent, could not withstand the impact of more than ten artillery shells. This showed just how terrifying it was.

The fact that the Sun Moon Empire dared to confront the three kingdoms of the former Douluo Continent with only a small territory, and was never invaded by them, is largely due to its level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs.

The Xishui Alliance, or rather the Holy Spirit Cult, is truly incredibly capable. They actually managed to acquire such a national-level strategic weapon.

But is this fixed-mount soul-guided cannonball really that easy to obtain? Is the importance of winning this competition really more important than this cannonball?

"You've all probably figured it out, haven't you? That's right, this is a level nine fixed-position soul-guided shell, and its name is Destruction Storm."

"The specific effects and usage methods will only be known to one of you who is capable of winning the final championship."

"I can guarantee that if you win today's match, we will pay this hefty reward on the spot. So, you'd better give it your all."

As he spoke, Nangong Wan waved his sleeve, and the box closed again, concealing the frenzied killing intent within.

Huo Yuhao and the other three were finally able to breathe more easily.

However, Merck's gaze towards him was filled with resentment. His previous loss to Huo Yuhao had cost him the chance to obtain this fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell.

However, due to Huo Yuhao's intimidating presence, he didn't even dare to let his gaze linger on Huo Yuhao for too long.

There's no way around it; which young evil spirit master wouldn't be terrified in the face of such a ruthless evil spirit master killer?

Huo Yuhao didn't care about his gaze at all. At this moment, his heart had calmed down, his eyes had become clear again, and he even showed a hint of disdain.

He does have level nine fixed-position soul-guided shells, too.

There are still a bunch of them lying in my own undead demiplane.

Those fixed-load shells were almost set on fire by an undead creature that wandered into the armory, though that was probably partly because the armory had no doors or walls at the time.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's slightly disdainful look, Nangong Wan immediately became serious.

As expected of a super genius from a hidden sect, he doesn't even take a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonball seriously.

That makes sense. Given time, a soul tool prodigy like him could break through the Sun Moon Empire's technological blockade and produce a level 9 soul tool, even if he only used the level 8 fixed-position soul tool shells from the Three Empires as a reference.

"What, young friend, aren't you interested in this shell?"

Upon hearing this, even Huang Zheng and Mo Ke stared wide-eyed in surprise. This was a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell!

No one who is a Soul Master could be uninterested in this thing. Is he crazy?

"I have some ideas, but that's about it."

Huo Yuhao's eyes were indifferent as he casually scratched an itch with the back of his hand: "If this is a level ten one, I'll consider it. As for a level nine one, I can make one in less than twenty years."

Such an overbearing statement immediately changed the expressions of everyone present, and Chen An was so excited that she felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Within twenty years, become a level nine soul master; within twenty years, break through the technological blockade of the Sun Moon Empire; within twenty years, fully master the core technology of level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs!

What an arrogant statement!

However, Huo Yuhao's performance in each match forced them to admit his superiority.

Even though Merck and Huang Zheng are both potential ninth-level soul masters, the gap between them and Huo Yuhao is like heaven and earth. If he says he can do it within twenty years, he probably really can!

Even the Thunder God Douluo looked at Huo Yuhao with envy in his eyes.

Huo Yuhao of Shrek Academy possesses invincible spirit and unparalleled fighting talent.

A Soul Hall member, Soul Heaven, possesses a physical body that dominates the world, and his Soul Guidance talent is heaven-defying.

Why are none of these peerless geniuses who could dominate an era from their Holy Spirit Sect?

They exchanged a glance, and both Ming Lei Douluo and Nangong Wan saw the determination in each other's eyes.

At all costs, we must win this kid from the Soul Palace over to their side, not as a partner, but as one of their own.

otherwise

Thinking of Huo Yuhao's terrifying performance in using his mind and hands to create the God-Sealing Ball, if their Holy Spirit Sect were to become enemies with the Soul Palace twenty years later, they would probably face an overwhelming barrage of level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons!

Even though the materials for level nine fixed-position soul-guided shells are extremely rare, level eight and level seven fixed-position soul-guided shells are probably small items that can be mass-produced in the eyes of this monster.

Thinking of this, both of them couldn't help but shudder.

"Since young friend doesn't think much of the Destruction Storm..."

Nangong Wan chuckled, flipped his wrist, and took out a large piece of iron ore with an extremely irregular shape. Even with Nangong Wan's cultivation level as a titled expert, this iron ore was noticeably heavy in his hand.

The moment the ore was taken out, it emitted a chilling aura, causing everyone present to be momentarily stunned.

"Are you interested in this piece of northern mineral essence, young friend?"

This time, Huo Yuhao's eyes finally betrayed his true feelings.

Northern mineral essence is a top-grade mineral that is formed in extremely cold regions and is only washed out in small quantities by underground riverbeds. It has a high density and extremely tough texture. Normally, it is sold by the gram, so how could there be such a large lump?

This ore is a top-grade material for making the outer shell of a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon, and it also has a resounding name. Huo Yuhao only glimpsed it in the miscellaneous discussions left by Tang San in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes regarding the Poison Scripture.

Heartbreaking iron essence.

The core material for making Buddha's Wrath Lotus.

It is evident that both the Sun Moon Empire and the former Tang Clan have unanimously discovered the powerful and superior metallic properties of the Cold Heart Iron Essence and used it to create the core material for encasing top-tier explosives.
