Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 752 The Soul Palace's Business (6K)

But then an informant brought him some news that made him somewhat worried: the Sun Moon Empire had also mastered the technology of sealing milk bottles and was increasing its recruitment scale.

In other words, Xingluo did not have a leading technological advantage; it was just that it was not left further behind by Riyue.

The reason Dai Hao came out to inspect today was because he was worried that the Sun Moon Empire had suffered heavy losses and that their border garrison might make some unusual moves.

Hatred can sometimes cloud judgment, especially hatred between nations. Therefore, he needed to quickly inspect the defenses of the various passes and fortresses.

Dai Hao always preferred to do things personally, which is a major reason why he enjoyed such high prestige in the army.

Night had fallen, and a cool night breeze caressed his face, bringing Dai Hao a rare moment of good spirits. After all, with the war postponed, the pressure on him, the commander-in-chief, was naturally much less.

As Dai Hao was pondering how to further enhance the deployment and construction of soul tools in the army, a strange mental fluctuation suddenly came.

The mental fluctuations weren't particularly strong, but they were like threads, somehow seeping into his brain, as if trying to enter his mental sea.

Dai Hao's sword-like eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes gleamed. A powerful mental wave erupted from his body, repelling the mental force. At the same time, he raised his hand, and the four guards beside him immediately pulled on the reins, bringing his own white tiger steed to a stop.

The White Tiger Guards truly live up to their reputation as Dai Hao's most elite army. While they may not be as strong as Soul Masters in individual combat, when it comes to military principles such as battle formations and strict discipline, they are absolutely as adept as Dai Hao himself.

After receiving the signal to stop, the more than 100 White Tiger Guards all came to a quick halt within a distance of less than 50 meters, without breaking their formation in the slightest.

Dai Hao turned his horse around, and his white steed let out a low roar.

He was already looking towards the White Tiger Guards.

With his cultivation level, he immediately determined that the spiritual energy came from his own personal guards after a brief contact with it.

This judgment greatly surprised Dai Hao.

You must understand that the opponent's mental strength is incredibly powerful. Although I was able to drive it away with great effort, it took a lot of effort to do so.

Such projection of spiritual power is something only a Soul Saint could achieve.

To invade the spiritual sea of ​​another Title Douluo, one must be at least stronger than oneself.

That terrifying mental power clearly surpassed his level!

When it was first exhaled, the mental energy was already close to materializing.

What level of cultivation is this? A Super Douluo, this person must be a Super Douluo.

However, on the mainland, there has never been any known expert in spiritual martial soul cultivation who has reached the level of Super Douluo!

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intent.

"Who are you?"

Dai Hao made a barely perceptible hand gesture, his tone polite, but the four guards subtly and slowly surrounded Huo Yuhao.

Just as Dai Hao was considering his words, Huo Yuhao waved his hand, and a dark light flashed.

The black light wasn't fast, and Dai Hao didn't sense any danger from above. He raised his hand and caught it.

This is a black token with an excellent texture, depicting a sinister black palace.

Turning the token over, two large characters were engraved on it, the words "Soul Palace" written in a dragon and phoenix style.

Soul Palace?

Dai Hao's pupils contracted slightly. Not long ago, Princess Jiu Jiu had given a strict order: when encountering people from the Soul Hall, they should do their best to cooperate with them, open the door wide for them, and cooperate with the plans of the Empire and the Soul Hall. How long has it been? The people from the Soul Hall have already arrived.

"Beware of ambushes targeting you; we don't want our first client for this new business to be killed."

Huo Yuhao's voice was cold, but Dai Hao, sensing the terrifying aura that Huo Yuhao was simulating, couldn't help but nod, his face full of gratitude.

"Thank you for the reminder, sir. But what exactly is your organization's new business?"

"Isn't it inconvenient to recharge a sealed baby bottle?"

Huo Yuhao spoke up.

When Huo Yuhao brought up this matter, Dai Hao's eyes lit up immediately: "What you say is correct. Although the sealed milk bottle, combined with this new Tang Sect hidden weapon, can allow ordinary people to release powerful soul tools, it is ultimately limited by the charging scale."

"There are only so many Soul Masters in the army, and at least half of them have missions to perform each time. It's impossible for them all to charge the sealed milk bottles. So once the sealed milk bottles are fully charged, they can't be used as readily available tools. At most, they can be used as a trump card or a surprise weapon during tough battles."

"Once the reserves are depleted, it will take at least half a month to refill all the bottles."

Huo Yuhao nodded: "We came here for this very reason. Our Soul Palace has the technology to quickly recharge sealed milk bottles. You only need to order two batches of sealed milk bottles, along with the batch you already have, to make this surprise force a regular occurrence."

"Every time a bottle is emptied, contact our staff to collect it. We will give you a set of fully charged bottles, and you can keep another set for backup. That should be enough."

As Huo Yuhao explained, Dai Hao's eyes lit up more and more—was there really such a good thing?

If that's the case, they really are ahead of the Sun Moon Empire by a huge margin. Although the Sun Moon Empire also mastered the technology of sealed milk bottles and even developed equipment similar to the new hidden weapons of the Tang Clan, they definitely did not master the technology of quickly and massively charging sealed milk bottles!

"Don't be too happy yet."

Huo Yuhao snorted coldly: "Your Grace, you should first think about how to deal with the assassination attempt against you by the Sun Moon Empire."

Just then, the sky suddenly brightened.

Clusters of green light flashed from the west and flew towards this side.

These green lights appeared to be gourd-shaped.

Because they were too far from the ground, their exact size was not clear, but the flames shooting out from them were dazzling in the night.

The target was none other than Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger.

They've arrived!

"Turn around, let's retreat!"

Dai Hao immediately ordered the entire army to turn around and retreat, while Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly.

From the moment he saw the Sun and Moon Divine Light soul tool, he knew that the Sun and Moon Empire must have a soul tool for monitoring the ground from extremely high altitudes, and that it had been put into military use.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case. Under the surveillance of soul tools like the Sun and Moon Divine Light, even Dai Hao is helpless.

This feeling is somewhat similar to Huo Yuhao's commonly used smoke bomb tactic: throwing out a smoke bomb before attacking, and then relying on mental detection to blind the enemy.

They just didn't expect that today they would be blind in the smokescreen, while the people of the Sun Moon Empire would be the ones who could see the whole scene clearly.
