Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 724 Elder Xuan: "Guess if he came or not?" (6K)

Ye Yulin herself had tried to make one. However, the humanoid soul tool required too many core array sensors.

It places extremely high demands on the material of the main body, the connection of the core magic array, and the control of the human body itself.

Creating a humanoid soul tool that can be controlled by a person is not difficult. What is difficult is creating a humanoid soul tool that can greatly increase one's own strength.

It surpasses the original abilities of a Soul Master in terms of speed, attack, and defense. Furthermore, it cannot restrict or affect the use of one's own Soul Skills.

Even a level nine Soul Master would find a humanoid Soul Tool a challenge, yet a young man no more than thirty years old is starting to create one in this competition. Where does his confidence come from?

Huo Yuhao naturally understood the difficulty Ye Yulin was facing, but he had clearly been thinking in the wrong direction.

The other party's mindset is still stuck in the era where all commands of a humanoid soul tool must be activated through complicated buttons, just like how an energy-gathering cannon soul tool must have a trigger to control whether the energy release level is level one, level two, or level three.

While a focused energy-guided cannon could certainly be made that way, how could a humanoid soul-guided device, requiring the coordinated operation of over a dozen parts to even move a wrist, possibly be controlled by a button?

If we really do that, wouldn't we be going down the same old path as the Sun Moon Empire in making humanoid soul tools?

"What does this kid need so much pure purple gold for?"

Ye Yulin felt a pang of heartache. He had just been thinking that Huo Yuhao was only taking some worthless rare metals, but Huo Yuhao had immediately reached for the pure purple-gold.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was now completely silent. Lights out was fast approaching. The students had long since returned to their dormitories.

Night fell, and the weather was rather gloomy, so the light became exceptionally weak after nightfall.

Only the soul-guiding lamps atop the walls of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy can bring some light to the area around the academy.

Not far from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, several figures stood quietly at a gate, seemingly blending into the darkness under the cover of night.

"Why aren't they here yet?"

A very pleasant female voice murmured anxiously.

"Don't rush."

The cold voice rang out briefly, yet it easily left a deep impression.

Just then, the clouds in the sky seemed to disperse slightly under the night breeze, and a ray of moonlight swept through the dark corner, revealing six figures inside.

There were five people waiting quietly here: sword fanatic Ji Juechen, Jing Ziyan, Nana, Wang Dong'er, and Wang Qiu'er.

Yes, Wang Qiu'er also came to help keep things in order.

Besides them, a small golden skull also lit up its eyes: "It's coming."

The next moment, the golden skeleton's appearance changed, and its bones were covered by clothes and muscles.

……

"The money is all in this card, please check it."

A lich dressed in black robes slowly fluctuated his spiritual power, and with a wave of his staff, a gold soul coin card flew out.

Standing before them was a furtive middle-aged man, constantly glancing around. He swiftly took the card from the lich's hand, pulled a small soul tool from his pocket, and inserted the card into it.

Soon, a number with many zeros appeared on the display screen. The furtive middle-aged man's expression relaxed a bit.

"Where's the merchandise?"

The lich's malevolent aura grew increasingly intense, clearly displeased with the middle-aged man's dawdling behavior.

Several specially made soul tools were taken out.

The lich quickly took it and used his mental power to scan the inside, while randomly selecting a piece of each metal for inspection.

He nodded quickly, the soul fire in his eyes flickering slightly: "The goods are fine, transaction complete."

The middle-aged man's tense expression finally relaxed completely. He really hadn't expected that the one who would be handed over to him in the end would be an evil creature!

He pulled his cloak tighter, strode away, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The lich watched the middle-aged man leave, the soul fire in his eyes flickering a few more times.

"Delivery complete. Repeat, delivery complete."

Nana received the message almost instantly via the soul link: "Received. Go to the fourth secret passage and wait for the transfer."

The Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

The palace was brightly lit at night. Crown Prince Xu Tianran was reading a book in his room, with Ju Zi keeping him company.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Tianran suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of irritability welling up inside him, and angrily threw his books onto the desk.

Orange, standing to the side, said gently, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Xu Tianran rubbed his temples: "I feel uneasy. Should we increase the guard?"

Orange nodded: "Your Highness, rest assured, the palace's defense procedures are already in a state of readiness and can be activated at any time. The experts from the Holy Spirit Cult and the Mingde Hall have also arrived long ago."

"Then..."

Before Xu Tianran could utter the word "good," an aged voice echoed in the void.

"Since you're all here, stop hiding and come out."

A large number of guards rushed out instantly, completely surrounding Xu Tianran's study.

With a loud bang, a burst of white light suddenly exploded in the dark night sky, illuminating the once dark night sky as if it were daytime.

A figure suddenly appeared suspended in the air, a black robe fluttering gently in the night breeze.

He stood there, seemingly standing tall, like a monument.

His face was expressionless, but his aged features exuded an indescribable pride and majesty.

"When did the Dragon Emperor Douluo become someone's lackey for guarding their home? People's hearts have truly deteriorated!"

A strange sound rang out, and as if the sky had split open, a thick, dark green cloud appeared out of nowhere.

The green clouds parted, and a figure emerged from them.

Looking at the green-haired Poison Undying, Long Xiaoyao snorted coldly, "Your brother was seriously injured by Mu En back then. Today, if you also want to stay here and sever your lineage, I will grant your wish."

Poison Immortal narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Long Xiaoyao, stop acting like an old man. If I remember correctly, you were originally from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Now you've not only fallen to the point of joining an evil soul master sect, but you've also become a lackey of the Sun Moon Empire. This sect master despises you."

Upon hearing the words "Heavenly Soul Empire," Long Xiaoyao's expression shifted slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Has your Body Sect truly submitted to the Heavenly Soul Empire?"

Poison Immortal scoffed, "What do you mean by 'surrender'? We're cooperating. Our sect is now the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Long Xiaoyao, if you still consider yourself a citizen of the Heavenly Soul Empire, you'd better get out of the way."

Long Xiaoyao shook his head and said calmly, "Considering you helped the Heavenly Soul Empire, I'll spare your life today. Enough with the nonsense. You should understand the rules of a Title Douluo. When it comes to worldly disputes, we'll discuss them in the heavens. Xuanzi, come out too. Today, I'll deal with you all."

Elder Xuan appeared silently, with a circle of spheres of unknown purpose hanging from his waist: "I'm here to cover for them, lest we fail to kill anyone and end up wiping out the people from the three great empires. That wouldn't be good."

Long Xiaoyao sneered, "Provide a safety net? You think you're worthy?"

Elder Xuan merely revealed a deep smile on his face, which made Long Xiaoyao's whole body tremble with fear.

"That kid's here too?!"

Long Xiaoyao's voice suddenly became a bit sharp, and his spiritual power surged out, scanning around inside and out, as if afraid that some formidable little guy was preparing a powerful move on the spot.

"Elder Long, relax. At our level, that little guy can't get in yet."

Elder Xuan was still smiling, his eyes filled with profound meaning as he looked at Long Xiaoyao, but those eyes made Long Xiaoyao feel uneasy.

Behind Long Xiaoyao, a large number of titles from the Holy Spirit Sect appeared. Scorpion Tiger Douluo subconsciously shrank back. If he were blown up like that again, no one would come to save him.
