Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 345 Huo Gua Gets Scammed but Makes a Huge Harvest

Unlike Lin Yun, who had absolutely no interest in soul tools, Huo Yuhao was very self-aware of his own talent.

The people at Shrek Academy weren't fools either. Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo valued Huo Yuhao, a spirit-type soul master, highly. In particular, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's ability to share spiritual detection with Huo Yuhao was a divine skill for creating soul tools.

With the innate advantage of being a spirit-type soul master, Huo Yuhao, at level 58, completed the advancement to a level 6 soul master, cultivating both martial soul and soul guidance.

This is actually why he didn't reach the Soul Emperor level.

In the original story, his failure to break through to the Soul Emperor realm was mainly due to his extreme attributes. Now, even though he no longer has extreme attributes and his talent is slightly lacking, as a chosen one, he still has many opportunities, both big and small, which can be seen from the fact that all of his soul rings from his third soul ring onwards are ten-thousand-year soul rings.

Lin Yun may look down on the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, but that doesn't mean the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is useless. For any Soul Master other than Lin Yun, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is undoubtedly the greatest cheat code.

With its assistance, Huo Yuhao should have broken through to the Soul Emperor level long ago; he had wasted a lot of time researching soul tools.

This is actually a good thing for Lin Yun.

It's good to like soul tools! It's best to devote yourself to them wholeheartedly, and then, when there's no exchange student program, use more time to break through to the ninth level of soul mastery!

The slower Huo Yuhao develops, the later he will inherit the divine position, and the more time Lin Yun will have to develop. Originally, when he inherited the position of the God of Emotions, he was not even thirty years old. With so little time, how could Lin Yun have enough time to develop?

Therefore, Lin Yun was happy to see Huo Yuhao go to participate in the Mingdu Underground Soul Master Competition.

There's no other reason than that Huo Gua is just too considerate; he knows how to buy Lin Yun time to develop.

However, sometimes it really comes down to just a tiny bit of luck. Without the many opportunities in the original story, without the Blade of Lifeguarding at the Starlight Auction House, and without those years of "studying abroad" in the exchange student program, Huo Yuhao, although a level six Soul Master, is far inferior to the level in the original story.

Without Electrolux's help, he didn't even realize that the Sunset Alliance was backed by evil soul masters, and when facing the two level-six evil soul masters from the original story, he was eliminated because his soul tool was not powerful enough.

No matter how many cheat codes you have, it's useless. This is a gap in technology and concepts. How can the knowledge of soul tools learned in a dilapidated place like Shrek compare to that of the Sun Moon Empire?

It can only be said that Lin Yun's arrival has the biggest impact on the protagonist of the original work, who has been terribly wronged.

As the plot has progressed to this point, apart from some historical processes that are destined to remain unchanged, such as the Sun Moon Empire eventually launching a war to unify the continent, all other plot points, big and small, have been altered beyond recognition.

Lin Yun no longer takes Huo Yuhao seriously. He's too lazy to care about how Huo Yuhao develops or whether he'll become Tang San and Shrek Academy's lackey. In any case, it won't have much of an impact on Lin Yun.

As long as he develops slowly enough to give himself more time to grow, that's enough.

So... what is Lin Yun doing?

Lin Yun didn't play in the knockout stage or the round-robin stage. What did he do for the past two weeks?

the answer is……

"Hehehehe, what a bumper harvest!" Lin Yun looked at the heavy lead boxes in front of him, a smile of excitement spreading across his face. "Thanks to the Sun Moon Empire for providing my Soul Hall with these weapons! Truly a technologically advanced superpower, these soul tools are making my mouth water!"

After half a month of scouting, and with the abilities of the Emerald Dragon King's torso bone, Lin Yun could move through the space more easily than walking, and he had explored almost the entire layout of Mingdu's underground.

The vast capital of Mingdu naturally has more buildings than just those on the surface; the Mingde Hall, located a hundred meters underground, is the best example. In the original story, Huo Yuhao dealt a significant blow to the Sun Moon Empire in this competition, not only taking away a large amount of their rare metals and soul tools, but also blowing up their armory.

The horrific explosion that affected almost a third of Mingdu claimed hundreds of thousands, even millions, of lives.

Huo Yuhao played a crucial role in enabling Ye Xishui's Death Tower to break through to the tenth level of a soul tool.

By this calculation, Huo Yuhao can be considered to have become a level 10 Soul Master ahead of schedule.

The blueprints were drawn by Kong Deming, the main structure was built by Ye Xishui, and the energy was provided by Huo Yuhao. This is practically the three giants of evil soul masters!

The messenger of death conceded defeat.

Lin Yun would never do something as wasteful as blowing up an armory. He borrowed the key to the undead demiplane from Electrolux beforehand. If he didn't have a large enough storage soul tool, he could just use an entire demiplane mini-world to store it.

Level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell? Take it!

Level 9 soul tools? Take them all!

Level 8 healing bottles and numerous level 6 to 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells? Leave none behind!

Those lower-level war soul tools?

Ok……

Forget about that. Let's leave some assets for the Sun Moon Empire. What if they take everything and the Sun Moon Empire is left without weapons and can't defeat the Douluo Three Kingdoms?

In the half-month since the start of the competition, Lin Yun spent 95% of his time scouting locations and 5% of his time emptying several armories of the Sun Moon Empire, taking away more than 20 level-nine soul tools and 48 level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

Other soul tools of varying levels were piled up like small mountains in the undead demiplane.

While these things might not be of much help in the counterattack against the God Realm, they are deadly weapons when used to bombard the Clear Sky Sect and Shrek Academy!

Okay, that's decided!

Forty-eight level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells were distributed equally among Shrek Academy, Haotian Sect, and the Sea God Family, with everyone receiving a share!

Lin Yun patted his behind and leisurely traversed the space, leaving the underground of Mingdu. With the soul bone of the Jade Dragon King present, the defensive equipment made by the Sun Moon Empire was useless in front of Lin Yun. The heavily guarded armory was like a public toilet, where he could come and go as he pleased.

The power of the divine-level soul bone, coupled with the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores, has exceeded the limits of the Sun Moon Empire's thinking when constructing facilities. After all, they could build the armory to withstand the frontal assault of a Limit Douluo, but they could not prevent a divine-level powerhouse from traversing space!

Just as primitive humans could build fences to keep out wild animals, but couldn't build bunkers to defend against steel chariots!

Lin Yun's abilities have exceeded their imagination. They never thought that there would be a Jade Dragon King in the world, nor did they imagine that there would be an overpowered player like Lin Yun.

In this way, Lin Yun swept away a large number of high-level war soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire and returned to the Mingyue Hotel with a big smile on his face.

He can now experience the joy of the Body Sect.

Buying things for free is so awesome!

"Hmm? Xu Jiujiu?" Lin Yun was slightly taken aback, looking at the Star Luo Empire princess who was leaning against the door of his room with a puzzled expression.

Why did she come to see me?

Upon hearing footsteps, Xu Jiujiu opened her eyes, turned to look at Lin Yun, straightened up, and smiled sweetly at Lin Yun.
