Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 341 Tang San's Conspiracy (Part 2)

The Iron Gallbladder behind collided with the Iron Gallbladder in front. The next moment, the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Deadly Gallbladder suddenly exploded, and a large amount of purple poisonous mist spread out, enveloping Xiao Hongchen.

However, thanks to the protective soul-guiding shield, the purple poisonous mist did not have any effect on Xiao Hongchen.

But what followed was a large number of black filaments, which attacked Xiao Hongchen and posed a huge threat.

These black threads are essentially bone-dissolving needles, which in Tang San's previous life were specifically used to break through protective qi, and they also come with strong poison.

The black threads wrapped around the defensive soul guide shield almost instantly.

A series of cracking sounds immediately appeared, and small black holes of varying sizes appeared on the soul guide shield. Then, under the attack of hundreds of bone-melting needles, the soul guide shield was covered with cracks and seemed to be about to shatter completely.

Xiao Hongchen looked surprised, knowing that the Soul Master level assessment of the Sun Moon Empire was stricter than that of Shrek Academy.

This results in soul tools of the same level being far superior in quality to those produced by the Sun Moon Academy, and consequently, the Sun Moon Academy's soul tools are more expensive.

The other party is a Soul Emperor, just like me, which means that the other party is probably only using a level 6 Soul Tool.

Both being level six soul tools, the fact that it could easily handle its own level six soul tool shield undoubtedly reflects the progress Shrek Academy's soul tool technology.

Of course, even in this dangerous situation, Xiao Hongchen did not panic at all.

After all, he had prepared a large number of defensive soul tools, all of which could be powered by sealed milk bottles.

Just as he was about to use the defensive soul tool, the golden trident mark that was originally engraved on the Mother-Child Soul Chaser suddenly appeared in the air.

The golden light flashed and disappeared in an instant, but he did not see it.

He suddenly felt unable to move, as if he had transformed from flesh and blood into a puppet.

He could only watch helplessly as large amounts of poisonous fog and black filaments swept towards him, unable to put up any resistance.

"This is bad." The referee's expression changed drastically. He could not allow Xiao Hongchen to perish here. If Xiao Hongchen were to perish here, it would undoubtedly be a loss for the Sun Moon Empire.

After all, Xiao Hongchen is a genius soul master of the Sun Moon Empire. Although in his mind, Xiao Hongchen cannot compare with Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen is much stronger than most of his peers and will inevitably grow into a pillar of the Sun Moon Empire in the future.

For an empire to remain strong and prosperous, it must protect the geniuses within its borders.

After all, the strong in the empire will die one day, and the only ones who can grow into new strong ones are these geniuses.

As for the Shrek Academy motto, "There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters," the referee considered it an extremely absurd statement.

Throughout history, in the Douluo Continent, most of the powerful figures have grown from geniuses. Once someone has a useless martial soul, it means that this person will grow into a useless soul master in the future. Even Tang San, who Shrek Academy has always praised, is essentially a genius.

The referee acted decisively, his eyes flashing with dazzling purple lightning. In an instant, he appeared in front of Xiao Hongchen, grabbed him, and dragged him away from the competition stage.

Meanwhile, the black-tinged bone-melting needles, having lost their target, all pierced the ground.

Almost instantly, small black holes of varying sizes appeared on the ground, each emitting wisps of smoke and a pungent odor spreading outwards.

"What a vicious method." The referee looked at the scene with a grim expression. If Xiao Hongchen had been hit, he would have been badly injured even if he didn't die.

Xiao Hongchen found himself able to move again, but the referee had already led him out of the arena. He looked at Jiang Nannan with some frustration: "Jiang Nannan, what kind of soul tool did you use just now? Why can't I move suddenly?"

Even now, he still believes that his inability to move was due to the effect of the other party's soul tool.

"No comment," Jiang Nannan replied coldly.

She then looked at the referee and said, "Referee, in this situation, I should be declared the winner, right?"

The referee nodded somewhat helplessly: "I declare Shrek Academy the winner."

Upon hearing this, most of the spectators in the stands fell silent. After all, because of what Xuanzi had revealed, their impression of Shrek Academy had plummeted, and they naturally did not want to see Shrek Academy showing any signs of victory.

Meanwhile, some of the gamblers who bet on Shrek Academy to win the game were all smiles.

Shrek Academy's waiting area.

Cai Meier's face showed a relieved expression. She said with some emotion, "The hidden weapons made by Ancestor Tang San are indeed very useful. I never thought that ten thousand years ago, we relied on Ancestor Tang San to establish Shrek Academy's reputation, and ten thousand years later, we still need to rely on the hidden weapons made by Ancestor Tang San to save Shrek Academy's competition."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi immediately sat up from the stretcher and said, "Dean Cai, I think this is not only due to the Soul-Chasing Darts, but also inseparable from Nan Nan's brave attack."

Therefore, Nan Nan also deserves a great deal of credit for this victory.

“Yes, Sanshi, what you said is quite right. Nannan is indeed very brave and has made great contributions. After we return to Shrek Academy, I will apply for an award for her at the Sea God Pavilion meeting.” Cai Meier nodded in agreement.

After all, Jiang Nannan was forced into this situation; the Soul-Chasing Darts had to be thrown using the Meteor Chasing the Moon technique created by Tang San's ancestor.

Jiang Nannan had never been exposed to the so-called "Meteor Chasing the Moon" technique before today, so she was naturally not proficient in it.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Nannan chose to get closer to Xiao Hongchen. Although this move was somewhat risky, the success rate of using the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Dart would be greatly increased once the distance was closed.

Xu Tianran also witnessed Xiao Hongchen's defeat, and he couldn't help but frown: "Xiao Hongchen lost? Hall Master Hongchen, when did Shrek Academy's soul tools become so advanced?"

At this moment, Jing Hongchen's mind was filled with the thought that "it's good that Xiao is alright," but when he heard Xu Tianran's words, he immediately regained his composure and respectfully replied, "Your Highness, according to our analysis of Shrek Academy's soul guidance technology, they are far behind us in the field of soul guidance technology."

"This isn't a soul tool; based on my observation, it should be a hidden weapon from the Tang Clan."

"Tang Clan Hidden Weapons." Xu Tianran chewed on the name. "I remember there's a team called Tang Clan in this competition. It seems they came prepared, even bringing out hidden weapons like these. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy should be under some pressure now."

Jing Hongchen said, "It's just a hidden weapon. As long as Yuhao makes a move, everything will be fine. Please wait and see, Your Highness!"

The waiting area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Huo Yuhao, who used golden light to protect himself with the power of the plane's destiny, raised his head and stared at the competition stage.

He had witnessed the entire match between Xiao Hongchen and Jiang Nannan. Without a doubt, it would have been impossible to achieve this level of skill with just the so-called "Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Darts".

At this moment, Electrolux's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's mind: "On those iron gallbladders, I sensed the aura of divine consciousness, and the source of the aura was the golden trident mark."

If I remember correctly, in the history of Douluo Continent, the Sea God Tang San used a golden trident. However, the aura of this divine sense is extremely weak, barely crossing the boundary between spiritual sense and divine sense, even weaker than mine. Strange, I always feel that the owner of this divine sense seems very afraid of having this weak divine sense discovered, so they deliberately separated it into an extremely weak form.”

Just now, Electrox, in the Sea of ​​Spirit, sensed the change in the outside world and immediately focused his attention on the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Stealing Gallbladder.

Huo Yuhao thought to himself that it was right to be afraid of being discovered. Once Tang Hao and A Yin's mess was exposed, the God of Destruction would definitely not let go of this good opportunity. After all, what Tang Hao and A Yin did violated the rules of the God Realm, which would undoubtedly be giving the God of Destruction a helping hand.

It is estimated that Tang San has now lost control of the central authority of the God Realm.

Of course, there was another basis for his judgment: Tang San did not continue to undermine the consciousness of the plane. Given Tang San's personality, it would be safer for Tang Hao to devour the consciousness of Douluo Star now.

However, since that incident, Tang San has basically ignored the consciousness of the plane and has greatly increased the frequency of his patrols near Douluo Star.

According to the description of the plane's consciousness, in the past, Tang San would never have personally come to patrol near Douluo Star.

If Tang San were to still dare to swagger around recklessly under these circumstances, he would be handing a knife to the God of Destruction. Although it wouldn't be fatal, it would definitely affect Tang San's glorious image in the God Realm.

“However, this divine sense gives me an extremely strange feeling, and Yuhao, I can sense the aura of the faith power you absorbed before from this divine sense,” Ilex said with some doubt.

Huo Yuhao, protected by the power of the plane's destiny, was able to observe the divine sense. He looked at the trident mark floating in mid-air and shared the same doubts as Electrolux.

So he subconsciously asked the dimensional consciousness, "Dimensional consciousness, what's going on?"

The plane's consciousness immediately transmitted a voice: "This is one of the divine sense nodes set up by Tang San. The function of these divine sense nodes is very simple: they help Tang San collect the faith power from the human soul masters."

That hidden weapon was one of the objects that carried the divine consciousness node. Inside it was a small amount of powder made from the branches of the ancient golden tree. This powder could be used to nourish the divine consciousness and prolong the object's lifespan.

Other objects that carry the nodes of divine consciousness also contained such substances during their production process.

Every so often, Tang San would secretly check the progress of collecting faith power. These objects, which carried nodes of divine consciousness, were scattered throughout the Douluo Continent.

Huo Yuhao was stunned.

Wait, collecting the faith power from the human soul masters?

First, we need to clarify one point.

The number of human soul masters could not possibly be as large as that of sea soul beasts, so for Tang San, sea soul beasts and the Sea God family remained the main source of his faith.

However, in order to elevate his divine status, Tang Shenwang would not give up even the slightest bit of faith power.

However, if it's really as the dimensional consciousness says...

In fact, over the course of ten thousand years, Tang San could absorb a considerable amount of faith power from human soul masters.

After all, there have been quite a few people who admire Tang San over the past ten thousand years.

Because Shrek Academy, the so-called holy land of soul masters, will continue to promote Tang San's deeds, the promotion will undoubtedly be even more exaggerated while the Tang Sect is still in decline.

In the Douluo Continent, where strength reigns supreme, Tang San, as a god, is naturally extremely powerful. With the embellishment and promotion by Shrek Academy, the near-perfect Tang San naturally receives the admiration of many.

Even the Soul Masters in Douluo Continent III, when resisting the Abyss Saint Lord's attack, were extremely excited when they saw Tang San, who had an "excellent reputation," appear, even though their bodies were unable to move.

After all, that was the number one philanthropist in Douluo Continent, the pure and virtuous God King Tang.

In many people's minds, with the arrival of Tang Shenwang, the blue sky will be restored and Douluo Star will be at peace. Even the seemingly invincible Abyss Saint King will be blasted into dust in front of Tang Shenwang.

Huo Yuhao seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked, "Wait, you just said that Tang San comes to check on the progress of collecting faith power every once in a while, which means that he stores this part of faith power on Douluo Star?"

"Yes. Because the purpose of this part of the faith power is to help Ah Yin completely refine the Golden Ancient Tree and to help Tang Hao completely replace me and become the master of the plane. However, it can only be used after Ah Yin and Tang Hao erase my consciousness and the Golden Ancient Tree's consciousness." The plane's consciousness immediately responded.

"I have a question. How did you learn about the use of this part of the power of faith?" Huo Yuhao was a little puzzled. It was actually quite normal for the plane consciousness to see that Tang San had done this. Although Tang San had been refined by Tang Hao for a long time, it was really difficult to hide what had happened on Douluo Star from the plane consciousness.

However, given Tang San's treacherous nature, it's impossible for him to inform the plane's consciousness how to use this part of the power of faith.

"During the time Tang Hao was refining me, he got drunk and revealed the matter of the divine consciousness node, which is how I learned about the secret behind the divine consciousness node." The plane consciousness was also somewhat helpless. "It is said that Tang Hao himself said that it was wine from the divine realm, something created by a god-king. I never thought that there was wine in this world that could make a god drunk."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was also pondering to himself. He was now certain that the wine Tang Hao drank was brewed by Ji Dong, the second-generation evil god. The current god-king Ji Dong could indeed brew wine that could make even gods drunk.

After all, Ji Dong is the only one among the five God Kings who can be called the God of Wine. In his previous life, Ji Dong was an internationally renowned master bartender and wine taster, and was hailed as the God of Wine.

However, Tang Dachui is too unreliable. He even said something like this after drinking. Well, he really messed up his son. But to be honest, Tang Dachui has been messing with his son for a long time.

Back in the first season of Douluo Continent, Tang Dachui tricked Tang San several times.

"Yuhao, you might try to steal the faith power that Tang San has accumulated over the years. After all, for a period of time after Tang Hao and Ah Yin were taken away by the God of Destruction, Tang San probably silently erased his own thoughts from those divine consciousness nodes in order to prevent the God of Destruction from discovering them."

This results in these divine consciousness nodes only collecting faith power and autonomously defending themselves when the object carrying them is attacked or destroyed.

After these divine consciousness nodes collect the power of faith, they will infuse it into a demiplane created by Tang San. This demiplane exists in relation to Douluo Star and stores the power of faith that human soul masters of Douluo Continent have held for Tang San over the past ten thousand years.

"By simply breaking the seal on any one of your divine consciousness nodes, you can enter the demiplane, take away that power of faith, and thus become stronger."

"What is the method to break the seal?" Huo Yuhao began to ask.
