Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 64: Remote Brainwashing of Tang Hao

"You should already realize you're no match for me, right? Do you really still want to continue fighting me?"

As the smoke cleared, the white swan, though disheveled, was not dead and its eyes, swollen like mosquito coils, were visible.

It seems that some of the power was neutralized during the head-on collision between the second stage of Swallow Return and the Roar of the Wind Dragon.

Moreover, just as You Chen had predicted, Bai Hu's combat skills were poor, but his stats were those of a normal Soul Emperor.

Otherwise, if it were a true Soul Emperor at the bottom level, taking that attack head-on would at least cause them to faint or even die.

Seeing his gloomy face and silence, You Chen continued his earnest advice: "I've already said it, I just wanted to teach Hu Liena another lesson. Her Majesty the Pope stands behind her; no matter what, I wouldn't dare do anything to her. Besides, do you think Hu Liena will go to Bibi Dong to complain after I taught her a lesson? She'll just keep it to herself, thinking about getting revenge next time. She doesn't even know you exist, and she won't even hold a grudge against you… Just pretend nothing happened, that none of this concerns you, and you can report back to Bibi Dong normally. So, what are you still hesitating about? Or…"

You Chen curled his lips into a half-smile and said, "Are you really that keen on playing Bibi Dong's loyal dog?"

The white swan took a deep breath, glared at You Chen, then flapped its wings, picked up Hu Liena, and flew towards the distant horizon.

"It looks like the negotiations have broken down."

You Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

He wasn't surprised to see Bai Hu's fifth spirit ring light up.

It's not that all martial soul prototypes with the ability to fly can actually fly. People like You Chen, who can fly by relying on the special ability of their martial soul itself, "Dragon Wings," are rare exceptions.

Like Ma Hongjun and Yu Feng in the original work, they actually learned flying soul skills by relying on soul rings, which stimulated their martial soul potential. However, it would take a long time to practice before they could fly without relying on soul rings or soul skills.

The white swan clearly has no shortage of such time.

After solidifying wings and flight into the inherent abilities of the martial soul, the speed of the white swan naturally experiences an explosive increase when using the fifth soul skill.

Although it's not as fast as when using Swallow Return, it's definitely much faster than when using the third ring's amplifying soul skill, and it's something You Chen can't compare to now, since he doesn't have a soul skill specifically designed to greatly increase flight speed.

This is probably where the white swan's confidence comes from.

The reason he announced his name and challenged You Chen was probably because he couldn't stand You Chen's arrogant attitude and wanted to use his status as an "elder" to teach the "junior" a lesson, but unfortunately he was humiliated.

"I can't win in a fight, but I can always run away, right?" That was probably what Baihu was thinking.

However, You Chen remained completely calm as he watched the white swan turn into a tiny black dot on the horizon.

One idea that Bai Hu hadn't been wrong about was that You Chen had indeed left a mark on Hu Liena through his mental counterattack.

This is why he was able to catch up so quickly.

In Bai Hu's view, the spiritual imprint that You Chen gave to a junior for self-defense wouldn't last long. If it did, he would definitely be able to detect it.

However, that spiritual imprint was left by You Chen, a master of spiritual power.

In order to guide Bai Hu to think from the perspective of the spiritual imprint dissipating, when he aimed at Hu Liena's attack just now, he secretly diverted his attention and used the Breath Concealment Technique to hide it.

Soul power, life force, and even spiritual power can be concealed. Even after watching it again, You Chen still marveled at the power of the Breath Concealment Technique.

Although this "containment of spiritual power" is a new function that he, as a genius, developed on his own during this period of time, if the foundation is not good, no matter how talented he is, he will not be able to develop new tricks in such a short time. You Chen said that he has completely recognized the quality of the Breath Concealment Technique!

Although his current mastery of the Concealing Breath Technique is only at the minor completion level, allowing him to conceal his presence for an hour or two longer, it is more than enough.

You Chen slightly curled the corners of his lips: "White Swan Soul Emperor, is your soul power reserve sufficient?"

The initial strain and damage during the initial probing, the soul power consumed by her daring to be distracted in front of him and maintain the feather cocoon to protect Hu Liena, and the consumption and injuries from finally using the ten-thousand-year soul skill...

The overall consumption was definitely five or six times that of You Chen. Even with the Soul Emperor's soul power, if he desperately used his fifth soul skill to escape, he definitely couldn't maintain it for very long.

The white swan will definitely rest and recover its soul power after it thinks it is out of danger.

bang~

You Chen unfurled his beautiful white dragon wings and flew at a leisurely pace toward the location sensed by his spiritual power.

After the dust had flown a thousand meters, Tang Hao, with a complex expression, finally emerged from the woods at the edge of the plain.

Even for a titled Douluo like him, there were too many unexpected events today.

He never imagined that the girl who attacked Youchen's disciple but suffered a backlash was actually a disciple of the current Pope.

And it seems...

"This Master You Chen seems to have an unusually tense relationship with the current Pope of the Spirit Hall?"

The scene just now became the best material to build on Tang Hao's initial idea of ​​"fellow sufferers in the same boat".

Of course, because of his respect for Tang San and his desire for revenge, he would not confront You Chen even so.

After all, although it seems that the two sides are indeed deeply entrenched in conflict, the Pope has not chosen to kill You Chen. Perhaps this is just another "internal struggle" or "factional struggle" common among major powers, and You Chen has not betrayed the Spirit Hall, but is simply at odds with the current Pope.

However, this did not prevent Tang Hao's hidden hostility towards You Chen from lessening again, to the point where it was basically impossible for him to harm You Chen unless the contradiction was absolutely irreconcilable.

As is widely known, the current pope is the only disciple of the previous pope!

The person who most wants to kill him to avenge their teacher is most likely the current Pope, Bibi Dong!

Tang Hao, with his reckless nature, although he was a sect slave and resented the Spirit Hall being stronger than the Clear Sky Sect, never thought of overthrowing the Spirit Hall; he had no such ambition!

Seeing the Spirit Hall in trouble and embroiled in internal strife? Awesome!

Seeing the Clear Sky Sect surpass the Spirit Hall? Awesome!

Seeing Pope Bibi Dong get humiliated? That's fucking awesome!

Given that he is currently completely powerless to achieve the second kind of satisfaction, even if it simply means making Bibi Dong suffer a setback or feel uncomfortable, it would still be an acceptable outcome for Tang Hao!

Moreover, it's highly likely that the first and third methods will be combined into a package deal now!

So after witnessing this scene, he naturally had a thought similar to "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

Even if you don't contact or cooperate with You Chen, there's no need to cause trouble or annoy him.

That's probably what Tang Hao was thinking.

And this was precisely You Chen's purpose in making Tang Hao think this way...

The threat posed by Bibi Dong can be put aside for the time being. The biggest threat to him right now is naturally the uncontrollable Tang Hao!

Punish Hu Liena, that little brat, severely, and also slap Bibi Dong in the face, which will reduce the likelihood of Tang Hao turning against me...

Killing three birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful!
