Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

I've already traveled all the way to the Sun and Moon Continent!

Death Prison Douluo, this BYD guy can still catch me!

Huo Yuhao was about to break down; the smile on his face was more like a grimace than a cry, or rather, he really wanted to burst into tears.

When the Body Sect launched a surprise attack on Mingde Hall, he was in a critical situation and hid under the experimental table, frantically digging a hole. He happened to dig the tunnel through which the Body Sect had infiltrated Mingde Hall, and followed the tunnel into the No. 2 Earth Core Chamber.

He discovered an incredible secret, and just when he thought he had made a fortune, the sounds of battle suddenly came from outside. His mental probe had barely registered when it was torn to shreds by a storm of soul power.

With no other option, Huo Yuhao could only use the second soul skill of his Spirit Eyes to simulate invisibility, gambling that he wouldn't be discovered.

It was obvious that he lost his gamble.

Ling Bai raised an eyebrow: "Where's the King of Soul Beasts? Why doesn't he come out and say hello?"

"Oh my, may you have good fortune, Death Prison Douluo!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm made its grand entrance, its spiritual form transformed into a silkworm with its upper body arched, comically bowing in the manner of a human.

"Practice makes perfect. Now that I've caught you two again, you should be prepared."

Ling Bai smiled faintly and poked four fingers at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's face: "I want this price."

Four hundred thousand years of primordial power!

"Aww—"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm instantly straightened up and lay flat on Huo Yuhao's head with a thud, as if it had suffered some irreparable blow.

"Playing dead won't work; I'm not buying it."

With only the first four spirit rings of the Six-Winged Angel missing, Ling Bai will be able to achieve the goal of having all 100,000-year spirit rings for his twin martial souls. He will seize this opportunity to make a killing.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm slowly rose to its feet. Initially, it tried to flatter the Death Prison Douluo to prevent him from making exorbitant demands, but the man remained unmoved, clearly intending to extort a large sum. It sighed deeply:

"Death Prison Douluo, let's be frank. Today, Yuhao and I have been defeated, and we should pay you some money to save our lives."

In the far north and in Star Luo City, I already gave you 300,000 years of Origin. Today, this 400,000 years of Origin is far beyond our limits. You possess a Spiritual Attribute Soul Tool. If you only have 300,000 years of Origin left, even self-destruction might not threaten your life.

Human nature is greedy, and evil spirit masters are demons who cultivate by devouring living beings. At that time, we will all be meat on your chopping block, and I don't believe you will show mercy and let us go.

The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point. In the second secret chamber, only the occasional sounds of battle could be heard from above. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm mustered her courage and stared at Ling Bai and the Death Prison Bone Dragon. Huo Yuhao clenched his fists quietly, cold sweat gathering on his forehead and dripping onto the metal floor, exploding into splashes of water.

"Two hundred thousand years of origin, plus six million gold soul coins."

A cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone a million-year-old soul beast.

If you can't reduce the sauce over high heat, then simmer it over low heat.

Ling Bai knew exactly when and where Huo Yuhao would appear, and wasn't afraid that he would slip out of his control.

"this……"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was thinking of negotiating to reduce the time to 100,000 years when it was immediately intimidated by the terrifying gazes of the man and the dragon, who were both fierce and menacing. It immediately fell silent and obediently offered up two golden rings.

"Death Prison Douluo, I don't have six million gold soul coins..." Huo Yuhao said weakly.

Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong demanded that, according to the rules of the Soul Master world, everyone who sees it gets a share, and they received a piece of the pie from the right palm bone of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, for a total of 5.4 million gold soul coins.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, true to form, said they weren't short of money, and all 5.4 million went into Huo Yuhao's pocket.

With his net worth suddenly soaring to over five million, Huo Yuhao transformed from a poor boy selling grilled fish at the city gate into a wealthy tycoon, and now it seems he's on the verge of going back to square one.

"Take as much as you can." Ling Bai said impartially.

With a bitter expression, Huo Yuhao rummaged through his storage soul tool and pulled out a gold card worth 5.5 million gold soul coins.

"good."

Ling Bai counted the gold cards in his hand, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

You're happy when someone makes offerings to you!

Everything that Xingdou Great Forest ate, it spat out completely!

"Can we go now?"

Huo Yuhao and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke cautiously.

"Of course, that's on the condition that you give me what's in this secret room."

Huo Yuhao's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. After a few moments of thought, he nodded with difficulty and took out a light blue gemstone, slightly larger than his palm, that resembled a breastplate.

Star Sapphire, a magical gemstone containing spatial power, is the perfect vessel for crafting storage soul tools.

Ling Bai took the Starlight Sapphire and released the soul tool stored inside.

A gigantic humanoid metal body, standing fifteen meters tall, its massive form entirely cast from metal and engraved with thousands of core magic arrays.

The humanoid soul tool embodies thousands of years of soul tool technology of the Sun Moon Empire. Owning it is equivalent to owning a soul tool encyclopedia published by Mingde Hall.

If a Soul Master can thoroughly research humanoid Soul Tools, then his expertise in Soul Tools can rival that of the top Soul Masters of Mingde Hall.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao tried to calm himself down and said casually, "Death Prison Douluo, this is a half-finished soul tool. It's not of much use to you. How about you leave it to me?"

"As luck would have it, I'm somewhat interested in it."

Ling Bai snapped his fingers, and the pitch-black gate to the dead rose from the ground. Two burly abominations emerged and sluggishly carried away the humanoid soul tool and the starlight sapphire.

Huo Yuhao's heart was bleeding as he watched the metal man disappear before his eyes with resentment. Mental detection has its limits; the soul tool blueprints he could inscribe were at most level seven, while many humanoid soul tools had level nine core arrays, which could definitely help Shrek Academy and Tang Sect develop soul tool technology rapidly.

"Goodbye, Little Huo. Don't let me catch you next time."

Seeing Ling Bai and the Death Prison Bone Dragon leave, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm tapped Huo Yuhao on the head and said:

"Yuhao, that Death Prison Douluo is elusive. Half of the source energy I prepared for you went to him! From now on, we'll never leave Shrek Academy, no matter what!"

"No, Brother Tianmeng, I still have to participate in the next Soul Master Competition..."

"I...I don't want to live anymore!!!"

With a single claw, the Death Prison Bone Dragon cleaved open the heavy metal door of the No. 1 Earth Core Chamber. The layout of this chamber was very simple, with only a metal table on which sat a blood-red heart as exquisite and translucent as a ruby.

Heart of the Blood Sea.

Ling Bai held up the Heart of the Blood Sea. This treasure was most likely the energy crystal of the Blood Sea beneath the City of Slaughter, containing the divine power of the Asura God and the Rakshasa God. He could clearly sense the Death Prison Spider Emperor Martial Soul's desire for the Heart of the Blood Sea.

Having obtained the treasure, Ling Bai was not in a hurry. He also stored it in the undead demiplane and commanded the Death Prison Bone Dragon to rush out of the Mingde Hall's underground chamber.

"boom--"

The Death Prison Bone Dragon rampaged, tearing a hideous crack in the earth. Ling Bai saw a wrecked underground base, where the battle between the two super powers, Mingde Hall and Body Sect, had not yet ceased.

Jing Hongchen's face turned ashen as a barrage of red light swept across the sky, heading straight for the Hulk-like Poison Undying opposite him.

The sect leader of the Body Sect, Poison Undying, was extremely frustrated. They had rehearsed countless times for today's sneak attack on Mingde Hall, but who could have imagined that such a variable as the Death Prison Douluo would appear? Especially with the fate of Tiger Arm Douluo Chen Hu, who was in charge of the theft, unknown, the Body Sect was now in a dilemma.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is located in Mingdu, where the strongest of the five guardians of the nation, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps, is stationed. There are also several level-nine soul masters serving in the palace. Based on the timing of the attack, they should be arriving soon.

Taking this into consideration, Ling Bai did not linger at Mingde Hall. The Death Prison Bone Dragon sped away without any hindrance.

"Let's retreat!"

Poison Undying glared fiercely at the back of Death Prison Bone Dragon, deciding to ignore Tiger Arm Douluo. The members of the Body Sect retreated into the cave they had come from as quickly as possible, taking away the bodies of all their fallen comrades, leaving no trace of their crimes.

"Chase!"

Enraged, Jing Hongchen transformed into a streak of light and chased after the tunnel, followed by a group of Mingde Hall experts.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Ning Tian and Wu Feng remained motionless under the lab table. Lin Jia Ran effectively blocked the aftershocks of the battle, and they were not subjected to any significant impact.

Huo Yuhao secretly returned to his lab table, hardened his heart, and launched a soul attack directly into his mental sea, causing him to collapse to the ground with his tongue lolling out.

With the crisis resolved, the medical team rushed in to save lives. The Shrek exchange students, due to their special status, were assigned to rooms with greater privacy.

Men and women are separated; Ning Tian and Wu Feng share a room, while Huo Yuhao lives in a single room next door.

Initial examination revealed no injuries to the two women. The doctor advised them to rest for a while and then hurriedly moved them to the next room.

Wu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That scared me to death! The Body Sect is really bold to dare to launch a sneak attack on the Mingde Hall's headquarters."

Ning Tian chuckled: "Neither side benefited. Mingde Hall lost many Soul Masters, suffering heavy losses in both personnel and money. The Body Sect already had few members, and the Death Prison Douluo killed more than twenty Soul Saints and Soul Douluos, and even one Title Douluo. This battle has crippled the Body Sect."

"Serves them right, dogs fighting!"

Wu Feng leaped up, excitedly waving his fist.

"Squeak—"

Ling Bai pushed open the door and saw the energetic Wu Feng. He nodded and said, "You're in good spirits, jumping and skipping around."

Wu Feng pouted: "Such a big thing happened at the Mingde Hall underground base, and you didn't even come to see us."

"I believe in your abilities," Ling Bai said. "Mingde Hall has lost something and has placed the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy under strict lockdown. They may search all the staff and students in the academy. Let me check all your storage soul tools."

"It's that serious..."

Ning Tianwu was taken aback and quickly realized the seriousness of the problem, so he hurriedly handed it over to Ling Bai.

Ling Bai found a secluded spot, summoned the Gate of the Dead, and threw the Golden Tortoise Shell, the Level 9 Fixed Soul Tool, and the Mingde Hall Soul Tool that Ning Tian had privately purchased into the Demi-Dimension of the Dead.

After cleaning up, Ling Bai returned to the room, and the three of them waited quietly for the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to conduct their investigation.

……

An hour later, Jing Hongchen, standing in the underground base, nearly ground his teeth to powder. The state of Mingde Hall could only be described as shocking.

Since its founding, Mingde Hall has never suffered such a heavy blow. The damage to the hardware alone is astronomical, not to mention the large number of soul masters who were injured or killed.

Even with Jing Hongchen's status in the Sun Moon Empire, he is undoubtedly responsible for such a major accident and will inevitably bear immense pressure.

"The Body Sect, I will never let you get away with this!"

Jing Hongchen's eyes blazed with fury. He had chased after them for half a time, but when he failed to kill them with poison, he blew up the underground passage, and the pursuit ended in failure.

"Master."

Lin Jiayi came to Jing Hongchen's side, lowered her head, and dared not look at him.

"Speak!" Jing Hongchen roared.

Lin Jiayi stammered, "The blueprints for the twenty-one level-nine soul tools stored in the third secret room are missing."

Jing Hongchen scoffed, "That's nothing! Douluo Continent was originally part of the Three Kingdoms. They had neither rare metals nor level-nine soul tools. I could send them two hundred level-nine blueprints and they still wouldn't understand them. By the time they're capable of building level-nine soul tools, the Sun Moon Empire will have already unified the continent!"

"What the hall master says is absolutely right..."

Lin Jiayi offered a compliment, then immediately changed the subject: "The Heart of the Blood Sea in Chamber Number One is also lost..."

Jing Hongchen's face twisted, and after a long pause, he slowly said, "I have studied the Heart of the Blood Sea for several years. It does indeed possess power far exceeding that of a Title Douluo, but that power seems to carry an evil aura. It's better to lose it, so that little guy like Xiao won't lose his life for it in the future."

Suddenly, Jing Hongchen realized something and asked urgently, "Number One and Number Three are missing, but what about Number Two? Is the experimental subject for Number Two still alive?"

Lin Jiayi's voice trembled: "Master, the experimental subject has also disappeared..."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen's vision went black, and he swayed, nearly falling over.

For Mingde Hall, the humanoid soul tool in the second secret chamber was far more valuable than the Heart of the Blood Sea and the blueprints for the level nine soul tool. It represented Mingde Hall's highest research achievement in soul tools and was a matter of great importance concerning the safety of the nation.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the surging blood within her, Jing Hongchen whispered, "Who else knows about this?"

"Please rest assured, Master, I went to investigate on my own."

Jing Hongchen's expression softened slightly. Fortunately, Mingde Hall had a high degree of autonomy. As long as this matter wasn't exposed, there was still hope of salvaging the situation. He then gave the order:

"Jiayi, pass on my order: everyone present at the underground base must remain silent. Anyone who dares to spread the word about what happened today will be killed without mercy!"

Keep a close eye on high-end auctions. If an experimental subject appears, bid for it at all costs!

In the name of Mingde Hall, a deadly mission was issued to the Mercenary Guild and the Assassin Guild, with a high bounty offered for the heads of members of the Body Sect!

"clear!"

Lin Jiayi nodded repeatedly, adding, "Master, we found signs of a battle in the underground corridor, but all we found was a pool of highly toxic liquid."

"What's the use of a pool of venom? Was it done by the main body sect or by our people?"

Wait, I almost forgot someone, there's also the Death Prison Douluo. I remember he disappeared for a while too, he might have gone to the Earth's Core Chamber...

I need to ask His Highness the Crown Prince in a few days whether Death Prison Douluo is actually from that side!

There's one more thing. How are the Shrek exchange students? Were they hurt? Never mind, I'll personally inquire on behalf of the academy..." (End of Chapter)
