Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 274 Loyal! Sincerity!
"Huh...huh..."

An Litong felt as if he had crawled out of the water. The moment he passed through the light gate, he was completely exhausted and collapsed in the secret room, panting heavily.

Look up and see behind you.

The portal through which he had just broken through with all his might, and even with the help of that titled Douluo, was the entrance to this secret chamber.

The distance of only ten zhang felt like an eternity to him. His soul power and mental energy were pushed to their limits.

Waiting for him at the finish line was not the reclusive master he had imagined, nor an old man or woman with a restrained and unfathomable aura, but a young man and woman sitting quietly on the sofa.

"…senior?"

An Litong stood frozen in place, somewhat apprehensive, not even daring to get up, unsure of what to do under the ambiguous gazes of the two men.

"President An has been deeply rooted in Mingdu for many years, and the Chamber of Commerce's reach extends far and wide... I should be the one to call him a senior."

Huo Yuhao broke the silence, easing the atmosphere, and then smiled and gestured to the empty seat in front of him: "In this place, you are the host and I am the guest, why be so reserved? Please sit down."

"Sigh, sigh..."

Despite being the master, An Litong behaved even worse than some poor people who had mistakenly entered the royal home. He was extremely cautious in every move, and even when he sat down, he only dared to touch half of his buttocks.
"May I ask how you should address me, sir?"

"—You want to know?"

Ye Guyi, who was standing behind Huo Yuhao, raised her head slightly, instantly causing Huo Yuhao's expression to tighten as she hurriedly tried to cover it up: "No, no... I just feel that simply calling him 'Young Master' is not appropriate..."

"It doesn't matter."

Huo Yuhao tapped the armrest to draw his attention back, and got to the point: "Enough with the useless small talk. Chairman An should know what I want, right?"

Although the host was loyal and cautious, setting up several layers of protective barriers before connecting the soul tool, these small actions were meaningless in the face of mental detection. Huo Yuhao had already overheard most of their conversation.

"this…"

The sudden revelation of the topic threw An Litong off balance, and also made him realize that Huo Yuhao didn't like roundabout and repetitive talk.

There wasn't even a chance to skirt the rules.

'Let's take a gamble!'

An Litong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly knelt down: "The Aodu Chamber of Commerce is willing to obey your orders, young master! ... However, there are many factions within the Chamber of Commerce, and the forces operating behind the scenes are even more complex. I cannot control the overall situation! I hope you will forgive me, young master!"

'Huh~'

Ye Guyi raised an eyebrow, almost speaking up for Huo Yuhao.

They are convinced and willing to obey orders, but the others in the Chamber of Commerce may not be so? So how much weight does your declaration of loyalty carry... Does the Holy Son need an eight-ring Soul Douluo like you who is not good at fighting?

"You can't control the overall situation?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the Title Douluo standing outside the door with his hands at his sides, a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "--Even if we add him, it won't work?"

"not enough."

An Litong lowered his head even further, trying his best to show sincerity: "The ninth-level soul masters that the Sun Moon Empire openly presents are just the tip of the iceberg. The real strongmen are always elusive and do not show themselves in the world. They will only take action when faced with a crisis."

"Furthermore, given the Empire's history of suppressing nobles and sects, these people will only hide even deeper. Looking across the entire Sun and Moon Realm, a ninth-level Soul Master with a high realm but insufficient strength is simply not worthy of being a pillar of strength."

That title was already enough to help him gain control; anything more was beyond his capabilities. Trying to consolidate the chamber of commerce under those guys' noses was simply suicidal.

Will those people allow this sales channel to have an independent trend?
"That's it..."

Huo Yuhao sighed softly, as if sensing something, "...What if we add you to the mix?"

"Wh-what?" An Litong could hardly believe her ears, kneeling on the ground and staring blankly up.

"I said--"

Huo Yuhao lowered his head to meet his gaze, and his long-dormant second sea of ​​consciousness surged with tsunami-like waves, radiating a soft green light from his pupils.

A life force, so rich it almost formed a mist, emanated from the naturally opened vertical eye, transforming the Eye of Destiny from crimson gold into a crystalline emerald green.

laugh!
The moment their eyes met, a surge of life force rushed in, cleansing An Litong's body and causing his body to emit wisps of turbid energy.

From meridians to bones, from muscles to the body surface.

Although the amount of life force required to reshape a body is considerable, it is only a drop in the ocean for Huo Yuhao, who holds the Gold of Life. This loss did not even dim the light in his second sea of ​​consciousness.

But this power is completely different for Anritsu, who has been trapped in the Eighth Environment for a long time.

His talent wasn't exactly top-tier; he only managed to reach level 89 by spending a fortune on drugs. This baptism not only improved his physique but also opened a door for him to reach the ninth ring.

"Oh!"

A burst of energy erupted from An Litong's body, making his face, which originally looked like he was in his forties, suddenly appear a year younger, and his eyes even gained a sharp edge.

Level 90, nearing account ban.

'this…'

Looking at her trembling hands, all the excitement and exhilaration in An Litong's heart condensed into one sentence:

"I am willing to offer my loyalty to you, my lord!"

What are nobles? What are the military and Xu Guozhong?
If Huo Yuhao were to give the order, he would gladly slap Crown Prince Xu Tianran a few times!

……

Huo Yuhao has finally taken a complete break.

Having successfully broken through to the next level, An Litong appeared sharp and assertive, no longer showing any fear of the forces behind him in his words and actions.

—The positive effects of the life force are not limited to that one shiver. Next, he should be able to cultivate all the way to level 94 before encountering a bottleneck.

Given all this, what is there to be afraid of!
With the addition of a set of soul tools, An Litong's combat power could easily reach the threshold of Super Douluo, and he could even go and beg for money from those nobles!

With such a capable assistant, the holy servants trapped in the undead space also found a place to go, and Huo Yuhao simply put them all under his command.

Not to mention experimental materials, we can even gather a bunch of mentors who are at the seventh or eighth level, ensuring they can achieve the best growth.

As for how these talented guys suddenly appeared...

Huo Yuhao, being in a high position, had no obligation to explain himself and believed that Chairman An would find a plausible reason for him.

"The talents of these young people are comparable to those of geniuses from Sun Moon Academy. As long as they are nurtured with care, their future achievements will be at least at the level of seventh-level Soul Master."

A radiant An Litong leaned against the railing, surveying the holy servants in the plaza below: "I wonder where all these geniuses came from... That young master is truly extraordinary..."

He paused, then turned to the guards standing to the side: "How are their preparations going?"

"Everything is ready, and we can set off for the hunt at any time!"

"Very good~"
