Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

Huo Yuhao and Mu En glanced at her, said nothing, and then turned back to continue their conversation.

"Hey!"

………………

"A mere second-ring Soul Master? Killing him is easy enough!" The captain of the Evil Soul Masters, Razor Blade, slammed his hand on the table and chuckled.

"His biggest mistake was that he shouldn't have publicized it so much in this thing called a newspaper. With such detailed intelligence, it would have been difficult for him not to die."

"Although we don't know what that guy looks like yet, we do know he'll be giving a speech on stage on Carnival night. We'll kill him on the spot when he's standing alone on stage."

This evil soul master, a six-ring Soul Emperor, seemed quite confident in his side's strength.

“But what if the Captain has Shrek Academy people protecting him…” one of his subordinates said hesitantly.

"I've already thought about this. His stage is set in the center of Shrek City, which is far away from Shrek Academy on the eastern edge. And judging from the information, the only one at Shrek Academy who has a close relationship with this person is Fan Yu, who is a Soul Douluo. If he stays by the side of the 'Big Boss,' it will indeed be a problem."

"If we use the secret technique and combine it with the soul-guided device issued by the sect, we might be able to kill everyone from him and escape." Razor Frown said, clearly knowing that this was only the best-case scenario.

"But……"

"No buts! If we fail to complete the mission and expose the grand schemes of the Holy Church and the Sun Moon Empire, do you think we can still live? We only have one chance to survive, and that is to kill this guy surnamed Huo! Otherwise, every single one of us will be purged by the Holy Church!" Razor Blade roared.

Didn't he know that taking action in Shrek City was extremely risky? Didn't he know that Fan Yu was not only a Soul Douluo but also an eighth-level Soul Tool Master? Didn't he know that even if this assassination succeeded, it was highly likely that he would not return?

But what can he do?

Watching helplessly as that wealthy man surnamed Huo revealed the secrets of the Holy Church?

Wouldn't he be devoured alive by his superiors?

In their Holy Spirit religion, "swallowing alive" is not an exaggeration; it really means swallowing alive.

"In short, this assassination is a full-scale operation; success is the only option. I will also try my best to consult with my superiors to see if they can provide us with more assistance."

………………

"Yes, yes, that firework tube is over there, no, move it over there, right there..."

Huo Yuhao loudly directed the setup of the carnival scene.

Fireworks placement, stage layout, barbecue grills, product display order... many things need to be prepared.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted. Yuhao, what are you doing with all this stuff? I wouldn't have come if Nannan hadn't helped. My butt still hurts from being spanked by your senior brother Beibei." Xu Sanshi put in a lot of effort to arrange and straighten a bunch of large firework tubes.

"Oh? He was beaten by Senior Brother?" Huo Yuhao looked at Xu Sanshi. No wonder he was walking with a limp today.

"Yeah, that guy Beibei somehow suddenly mastered an incredibly powerful self-created soul skill called something like Electromagnetic Cannon. He tricked me into challenging him to a match, and the result... the power! It blasted a huge hole in the arena! Luckily, I dodged quickly, or my tortoise shell would have cracked." Xu Sanshi still felt lingering fear when he recalled that move.

For over a month, Ma Xiaotao, who had been constantly seeking his help to suppress her evil fire, suddenly stopped making any moves, which had made him quite happy for a while. But now, his joy has turned to sorrow; his strength has been surpassed by Bei Bei.

They used to be evenly matched, but now he can't beat him at all. Beibei is even a year behind him because she repeated a grade. Where will Xu Sanshi put his face now?

Seeing Xu Sanshi's embarrassed expression made Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and even Jiang Nannan laugh.

"Yuhao, tell me the truth, did you teach Beibei something? I know you're smart, and Beibei always says things like 'Thanks to Junior Brother'." Xu Sanshi leaned closer.

"It's mainly because my senior brother has high comprehension; I didn't do anything," Huo Yuhao said modestly.

"Hehehe, I'm pretty quick to learn too, Yuhao, why don't you give me some pointers? Look, I've done so much work for you for free..." Xu Sanshi said with a lewd smile, despite his tall stature, he huddled up next to the younger Huo Yuhao and kept rubbing his hands together.

"Disgusting," Jiang Nannan commented from the side.

"Sleazy." Wang Dong nodded.

"No problem. If Senior Xu can help me study your martial soul, improving my strength will be a piece of cake," Huo Yuhao said. The Xuanwu bloodline's Xuanming Turtle martial soul is a very representative martial soul with great research value.

Xu Sanshi was delighted and said, "Good, you keep your word. It's just researching martial spirits, you can research it however you want."

He doesn't care about anything else as long as he can become stronger.

After dealing with the venue setup, Huo Yuhao went to find Mu En, who was rushing around in a wheelchair.

"Elder Mu, did you see that?" Huo Yuhao transmitted the mental link to him.

"Without your miraculous soul skill, I can see everything clearly myself." With Mu En's level of cultivation, without even using spiritual detection, nothing in this area can hide from him.

"There are three to the east, two to the south, and one hidden on the rooftop to the right. There are also some more lurking in the distance that haven't come any closer," Huo Yuhao said calmly, recounting the surrounding situation.

"You have excellent observation skills. How about I take them all down now?" Moon said.

"No, these are obviously just here to investigate the situation. They probably want to find where 'I' am. They're probably all low-level cultivators. Killing them here would scare Big Head away."

"Yes, that's what I think too. There's no rush now. Besides... this incident can also be a good opportunity to train the students. I've noticed a few promising youngsters while I was out for a stroll. I'd like to give them some training when the time comes."

"Sure, I'll help you plan it out. You can just deliberately let a few monsters slip through their fingers and let them fight them," Huo Yuhao said with a smile. He could guess which monsters Mu En was referring to. Being chosen by Mu En was quite an opportunity for those students.

Chapter 29 Carnival Eavesdropping City-Level Magic Array

The Grilled Fish Carnival has begun!

Excitement! Celebration! Revelry!

Numerous giant electric lights emitted colorful rays of light, illuminating the city and the night. The colored lights rotated, changed, and flashed in the air, creating a mesmerizing sight.

Shrek is a city that never sleeps today!

The sounds of soda cans being opened, the sizzling of grilled fish, and the cheers of Shrek City residents mingled together.

All of this comes from one person, the creator of their new life, the inventor of the Electric Soul Conduction Device, Mr. Huo, the King of Grilled Fish in Shrek City.

Although no one knows what Mr. Huo looks like, his reputation and deeds have spread throughout Shrek City.

"Hello everyone from Shrek City, welcome! I'm your host, Beibei. As you all know, today is a carnival hosted by Mr. Huo to celebrate the one-month anniversary of his company's founding and to promote his products..."

Holding a microphone, Beibei announced the start of the exhibition on stage.

The moment his voice appeared, the atmosphere at the scene was heated up. As a popular announcer, every Shrek listener was very familiar with his voice.

His fans even screamed from the audience.

Beibei was a little nervous at this moment, not only because it was his first time hosting in front of nearly a million people in the city, but also because he suddenly saw an unexpected person.

"Ancestor! Why did you come out to watch the show?! And why are you with your junior brother?!"

Even if others don't recognize her, how could Beibei not recognize her loving yet strict ancestor, Mu En?

He feels like he's alone in his room and his parents unexpectedly open the door and see him.

If it weren't for his strong mental fortitude and excellent facial expression control, he probably would have been too nervous to speak.

"Next, please enjoy the fireworks display!"

Beibei finally finished reciting her lines with a sense of relief and walked off the stage.

"You did a good job hosting," Moon chuckled.

"They'll be here soon, Elder Mu, you'd better take good care of me later." Huo Yuhao said with a smile. Although he wasn't afraid of Elder Tian Mengyi and the others, it was still best to keep them out of this place as much as possible.

"You little rascal, you must have made thorough preparations long ago, but how are you going to expose those hidden evil spirit masters?" Moon asked.

"Of course, I'll use my specialty, mental suggestion."

………………

Undercurrents are surging.

The evil spirit masters hidden within Shrek City have all come out in droves, with only one goal: to kill someone.

"After the first two performances, the target will go on stage. Pay attention to the timing and don't eat anything here," Razor gave the order, holding an electronic communicator developed by Huo Yuhao, which he used to communicate remotely with his subordinates.

Born into the Sun Moon Empire, he was adept at using soul tools. As soon as this communicator entered the market, he discovered its ingenious uses.

Unfortunately, before I could report on this new soul tool, this incident happened.

"I'll let you die by the very tools you developed," he chuckled smugly.

"Soul Banner, Blood Puppet, you shall proceed from the east."

"The coiled python and the double-headed hammer are to the west."

"White spiders and chaotic bells lurk in the center of the poisonous fog on the north and south sides."

"The rest of you, await instructions."

"Roger that!"

………………

"receive!"

Huo Yuhao put down the small machine in his hand with a wicked smile.

"These... these are the voices of those evil spirit masters?" Moon stared dumbfounded at the small machine that kept revealing the evil spirit masters' plans.

"Haha, the best way to fight is to wage an information war."

"This is……"

"Eavesdropping device."

“Eavesdropping…” Moon was surprised for the umpteenth time. “Do you think every electronic communicator is being eavesdropped on like this?”

"Of course not, I respect other people's privacy, but enemies are a different story." Huo Yuhao's bright eyes narrowed into slits.

………………

The audience seats

People are enjoying their delicious food while waiting for the performance.

"The fireworks show is about to start, hurry up!"

"Speaking of which, what are fireworks?"

"I heard from the introduction that it's a very beautiful thing made of gunpowder."

"And what is gunpowder?"

People were discussing it with great anticipation.

Gunpowder has been lost in the Douluo Continent for a long time, and the concept of fireworks is nowhere to be found.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't successfully created and improved upon the information recorded by the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, it would probably have been many years before fireworks appeared on the Douluo Continent.

"Old Mu, do you know what conditions are needed to give someone a psychological suggestion?"
