Douluo Continent: The Underworld Emperor Halosa Lets Three Fly

Chapter 64 Deng Fengqiao

Deng Fengqiao immediately stood up, jogged forward, and stopped a few steps away from Harosa. He leaned forward slightly, lowered his head, and was extremely humble, like the most obedient servant waiting for his master's inquiry.

"How's management?" Harosa's voice was flat and emotionless. "Any problems?"

Deng Fengqiao hurriedly and respectfully replied, his voice clear yet carrying a barely perceptible sense of reporting: "Reporting to Your Excellency, everything went smoothly, and there were no major problems. Initially, everyone found it difficult to adapt to this unusual environment upon arriving here, and many experienced discomfort. I immediately followed your previous instructions and respectfully invited Elder Yi for assistance. Elder Yi is incredibly powerful; he set up this barrier area that isolates us from the deathly aura of the outside world and instructed us on how to use the soul-guiding equipment we brought to initially improve the internal environment. Everyone's condition quickly stabilized."

In Deng Fengqiao's view, Elder Yi was probably in cahoots with Harosa, taking all the credit for himself while they were just there to do the work.

always right.

He raised his head slightly, his gaze pointing to the camp under construction, a hint of self-satisfaction in his voice, yet his tone remained humble: "As you can see, under Elder Yi's guidance and with everyone's joint efforts, we have planned out living areas, working areas, and storage areas. The basic metal house frames are being erected, and the soul-guided energy core has been preliminarily tested, capable of stably supplying energy for lighting and basic equipment. We have also begun to build simple soul-guided device workbenches using the materials we brought. Although conditions are still rudimentary, everyone is in high spirits and working with great enthusiasm, striving to build this place into a viable foothold. Please rest assured, everything is progressing according to plan."

His report was well-organized, explaining the difficulties, highlighting the results achieved with Electrolux's help, outlining the current construction and future plans, and concluding with a declaration of loyalty. Harosa listened, his face expressionless, simply nodding slightly.

He didn't pay much attention to Deng Fengqiao's little schemes. Electrolux didn't know anything about soul tools. However, Deng Fengqiao satisfied him. He spoke nicely, had a humble attitude, had a clear understanding of his own position, and was efficient in his work.

Harosa's gaze swept over the two groups of Tang Sect Soul Masters below, whose faces still bore traces of fear and confusion after being teleported over. He made a decision. Deng Fengqiao's management skills were initially satisfactory, so it was time for him to unite these three groups.

Harosa's calm voice rang out in the deathly silence, clearly reaching everyone's ears: "Deng Fengqiao."

Deng Fengqiao's body tensed almost imperceptibly, and he immediately bowed even lower, almost at a ninety-degree angle, his voice filled with utmost respect:

"Your subordinate is here!"

"I'm having you manage these two batches of Tang Sect Soul Masters again," Harosa's gaze, almost tangible, landed on Deng Fengqiao's lowered head. "Are you under pressure?"

The tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority. Deng Fengqiao's heart pounded; this wasn't a question, but an order!

Immense pressure struck instantly, but he reacted swiftly without hesitation. His voice was resolute, even trembling with excitement: "Rest assured, sir! I feel no pressure! I will do my utmost to unite them into a cohesive force, forging them into an elite team that obeys orders and fights wherever needed, ready to serve you at any time!"

Harosa nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with his statement, but his tone remained indifferent: "Don't be too confident. These people," he casually pointed to the Soul Masters wearing different Tang Sect uniforms, "are all from the Tang Sect, proud and arrogant, and may not be willing to listen to you obediently."

Deng Fengqiao felt a jolt in his heart. Indeed, managing the group of people he had recruited was relatively easy, but subduing these captured Tang Clan elites, especially the several veteran Soul Masters among them who exuded a deep aura and looked like they were not to be trifled with, was by no means an easy task.

If Harosa hadn't been so powerful, they would all be in a riot right now.

Harosa abruptly changed the subject, asking seemingly casually, "What kind of martial soul do you possess?"

Deng Fengqiao dared not delay and immediately replied, his tone tinged with self-deprecation: "My lord, my martial soul is 'Scholar's Glasses,' a support-type spiritual martial soul. Its strength lies in its passable analytical and research abilities; it's alright for designing soul tools, but it's truly hopeless in combat." He pushed up his seemingly ordinary black-rimmed glasses.

"Scholar's glasses? A mental support martial soul?" A look of understanding flashed in Halosa's eyes, and he immediately gave up his original idea of ​​forcibly improving Deng Fengqiao's martial soul quality with a trace of the Rebirth Origin.

Forcibly infusing this kind of spiritual martial spirit, which is purely biased towards scientific research and analysis, with the essence of rebirth might destroy its refined analytical characteristics, resulting in more harm than good. This person is a promising candidate for soul-guided scientific research; we mustn't ruin him.

He said nothing more, but casually raised his right hand and grabbed at the hill in the distance, which was made of piled-up white bones!

Yu Yiyi!

An invisible force swept out! Hundreds of undead skeletons of various shapes and exuding a decaying aura were instantly lifted from the pile of bones as if drawn by invisible threads, traversing space and crashing down on the open ground in front of Deng Fengqiao with a series of "bangs" like icebergs, stirring up a cloud of gray-white bone dust!

Even more chilling was the sudden ignition of life in the empty eye sockets of these skulls! Wisps of grayish-white flames spontaneously ignited, flickering eerily and emitting a cold, unsettling light! They seemed to come alive, turning their grotesque skulls in unison.

The flames in his eyes were fixed on Deng Fengqiao!

"Huh!" Deng Fengqiao trembled at the sudden turn of events and the hundreds of cold "gazes," instinctively taking a half-step back, his heart pounding wildly. The oppressive feeling emanating from those gray-white flames far surpassed that of an ordinary Super Douluo!

Harosa's voice was as cold as ice: "These 'Undying Guards' will henceforth obey your orders. Each of them possesses combat power equivalent to a Super Douluo, and they will be more than capable of dealing with those few half-step level ten guys in the Rebirth God Realm."

His gaze swept over several veteran Tang Sect Soul Masters in the crowd, whose auras were the most somber and whose faces were extremely grim (clearly the "half-step level ten" Harosa had mentioned), and his tone was undeniably forceful: "You're responsible for managing everyone and integrating them. I want to see results—to see if a few more true level ten Soul Masters, or even higher, can emerge from this group!"

Harosa's gaze returned to Deng Fengqiao, who was trying to remain calm: "Do a good job, and you'll be rewarded. Don't do a good job—" He didn't finish his sentence, but his cold gaze carried more weight than any threat.

Deng Fengqiao's body trembled violently again! But this time, it was not just fear! He keenly grasped the key in Harosa's words—"within the Realm of Rebirth"!

The realm of gods!

Reborn in the realm of gods!!

This sir, this King of the Underworld, he actually controls a realm of gods?!

A tremendous shock, like an electric current, instantly coursed through Deng Fengqiao's body! He abruptly raised his head, his face filled with extreme shock, disbelief, and—an almost frenzied excitement!

god!

That is the ultimate goal that all Soul Masters pursue in their entire lives! And he, Deng Fengqiao, a mere eighth-level Soul Master, actually found himself in a divine realm, and even received the "importance" of a god! This is an incredible opportunity that no one would even dare to dream of!
