Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

After all, according to the Sun Moon's higher-ups, humanoid soul tools will inevitably shine in the future, further enhancing the Sun Moon's soul tool corps' combat power.

Within the academy, only high-ranking Soul Masters truly understand what a humanoid Soul Guidance Device is.

Of course, in Xuan Ziwen's view, Huo Yuhao was able to know about the existence of this type of soul tool because of his special identity and his outstanding talent in soul tools.

Upon hearing this, Orange immediately and tactfully walked towards the metal door of the laboratory, her footsteps echoing throughout the lab.

Keke followed and called out, "Ju Zi, why are you walking so fast? Wait for me!"

Ju Zi stopped and waited for Ke Ke to catch up. Then she led Ke Ke out through the door, followed closely by Wang Shaojie and Zi Mu.

Soon, only Xuan Ziwen and Huo Yuhao remained in the entire laboratory, and the atmosphere became extremely quiet.

Xuan Ziwen looked at Huo Yuhao, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Yuhao, the biggest limitation in making humanoid soul tools is actually the materials and the core magic array."

These two factors determine whether a humanoid soul tool is good enough. Because the Sun Moon Empire has only recently begun developing humanoid soul tools, we are still constantly experimenting and making mistakes in order to create a sufficiently excellent humanoid soul tool for deployment in the Soul Master Corps.

Huo Yuhao said, "The core magic array needs time to be studied. However, Teacher Xuan, through the Eye of Destiny, I have glimpsed that the mineral resources in a region of the Heavenly Soul Empire will be mined in the future."

In that region, there's a mineral called Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, a metal possessing life force. I think we can intercept some. With Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, we can try to forge powerful humanoid soul tools.”

Chapter 240 The Eve of Departure

"A metal with life force?" Xuan Ziwen was instantly shocked. "There is such a metal in the world? No, Yuhao, I remember that your Blade of the Living Being can release life force. You seem to have mentioned that the metal that makes it is called the Metal of the Living Being. So, this Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is the same kind of metal as it?"

He had always thought Huo Yuhao's Blade of Life Guardians was very powerful. After all, in this world, metals with life attributes are actually rare, and the Metal of Life is the only metal he knows that has life attributes.

If there were enough of this type of metal, he felt that he could definitely use it as a basis to create some unprecedented soul tools.

Huo Yuhao said, "My Blade of Life Guardians can indeed release life force. It is itself a life-attribute metal of life, but life-attribute metal and ice crystal are completely different things."

In fact, the reason why the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is called a divine crystal is mainly because it has evolved to a level possessing a certain degree of vitality. Metals of this level are extremely rare even in the Douluo Continent.

To be honest, in the Douluo Continent, to create a good enough soul tool, you need to use extraordinary metals.

Therefore, in most cases, this leads to the higher the level of the soul tool, the more precious the materials used.

Of course, on the Douluo stage, there are always some people who like to show off their amazing wisdom. Huo Yuhao remembered that Tang Hao once said that only those who forge divine artifacts with ordinary iron can be called divine craftsmen, while those who forge divine artifacts with some good materials are at best synthesizers and do not deserve the title of divine craftsmen.

To be honest, Tang Hao was talking nonsense. Even Tang San in Douluo Continent I needed to find good materials before he could make some awesome hidden weapons.

If we follow Tang Hao's logic, then Tang San should just find a piece of ordinary iron by the roadside and use it to forge awesome hidden weapons; there's absolutely no need to pursue those good materials.

"Yuhao, in which region of the Heavenly Soul Empire is the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal located?" Xuan Ziwen asked impatiently. He didn't want to possess the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal; he simply wanted to use this rare metal to create a soul tool.

"In Dragon City of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the location of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is currently firmly controlled by a force called the Earth Dragon Gate," Huo Yuhao said.

Xuan Ziwen was somewhat puzzled: "I've never heard of the Earth Dragon Gate. However, I do remember that there is a force called the Heavenly Dragon Gate in the Heavenly Soul Empire."

He knew very little about the minor forces on the Douluo Continent. After all, he was Kong Deming's disciple and the chief researcher of Mingde Hall. Therefore, there weren't many minor forces on the Douluo Continent that he could patiently learn about.

The Heavenly Dragon Gate is quite special, which is why he remembered it. The sect leader of the Heavenly Dragon Gate is a powerful Title Douluo and a descendant of the Yu family. The sect is basically composed of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Masters.

Although the Spirit Hall chose to exterminate the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan back then, some members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan still wandered outside and did not return home, thus escaping the calamity. This is how a clan different from Yu Xiaogang's lineage came to be.

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "The Earth Dragon Gate and the Heaven Dragon Gate both belong to the Dragon City sects, but the former is weaker than the latter. After all, the Earth Dragon Gate's sect leader is only a Soul Douluo. We can start preparing now to go to the Earth Dragon Gate."

Anyway, he has quite a few "backers" right now, so going to the Earth Dragon Gate shouldn't be too dangerous for him.

"Alright, then I'll go prepare some soul tools for excavating and cutting the Ice Extreme God Crystal. I'll inform the Dean later so we can set off together." With that, Xuan Ziwen walked towards an experimental table.

“Wait, Teacher Xuan, you don’t actually need to prepare these things,” Huo Yuhao said.

Xuan Ziwen paused, looking puzzled, and asked, "Yuhao, is there something wrong with what I did?"

"Because the conditions for mining the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal are quite harsh, the Sun and Moon Sect's current methods are insufficient to mine the entire Ice Extreme Divine Crystal. Moreover, the environment of the Earth Dragon Gate Secret Realm is quite harsh, and without the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, one cannot withstand it for long," Huo Yuhao explained patiently.

After all, that was the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mysterious Ice Cave. Although it was a treasure trove for the owner of the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, it was a dangerous place for others. Even Soul Douluo Nan Shuishui could only withstand it for a short time and could hardly go deep inside.

Moreover, the task of mining the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal can only be entrusted to Huo Yuhao, since he possesses the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, which allows him to easily mine this hard metal.

"Alright, I'll go find the Dean now. After all, our safety can only be guaranteed with the Dean by our side." Xuan Ziwen didn't not want to ask Elder Kong for help, but Elder Kong was extremely enthusiastic about researching the Ten Extreme Soul Guidance Device.

Now that Huo Yuhao has returned, Elder Kong must have returned as well. Regardless of what Elder Kong gained, he should now be holed up in the laboratory, continuing his research on level 10 soul tools.

"Hmm." Huo Yuhao didn't have any objections. Bringing Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming along could actually help prepare for the arrangements at the Earth Dragon Gate.

The people of the Earth Dragon Gate aren't actually that strong. Although the Rouge Dragon Martial Soul is somewhat interesting, for Huo Yuhao, the most important person in the Earth Dragon Gate, aside from the secret realm, is the gate master, Nan Shuishui.

Nan Shuishui's identity is extremely special; the Holy Spirit Cult's Third Elder, Ming Lei Douluo, is fond of Nan Shuishui.

Back then, when Ming Lei Douluo failed to win Nan Shuishui's heart, he could only watch helplessly as Nan Shuishui married someone else. In a fit of anger, Ming Lei Douluo became an evil soul master, but even so, he still missed Nan Shuishui.

Therefore, by inviting the Third Elder out of Nan Shui Shui and then controlling him through various means, the Holy Spirit Cult could be infiltrated. After all, Ming Lei Douluo, as a ninety-three extreme titled Douluo, is considered a high-ranking member of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Moreover, the Third Elder, Ming Lei Douluo, was not that loyal to the Holy Spirit Cult. What loyalty could an evil soul master possibly have? He joined the Holy Spirit Cult simply to find a place for evil soul masters to live. What the Third Elder cared about was his own life and his hard-won cultivation.

Using the Nether Thunder Douluo as a breakthrough point to infiltrate the Holy Spirit Cult is an absolutely feasible plan. Of course, the prerequisite for doing this is to control the Earth Dragon Gate.

...

Heavenly Soul Empire, Dragon City.

As one of the two major sects in Dragon City, the status of the Earth Dragon Sect in Dragon City is self-evident. People from smaller sects in Dragon City must show respect when they meet members of the Earth Dragon Sect.

Although the Heavenly Dragon Gate is the most powerful force in Dragon City, and its overall strength surpasses that of the Earthly Dragon Gate, the two sects have always had a good relationship and have always lived in peace, which has created a peaceful atmosphere in Dragon City.

Earth Dragon Gate.

A beautiful female Soul Master, with her hands behind her back, was patrolling the sect. Occasionally, when the Earth Dragon Sect disciples saw her, they would call her "Big Sister".

She is Nan Qiuqiu, the daughter of the leader of the Earth Dragon Sect, and also the number one genius of the Earth Dragon Sect.

Chapter 241 Nan Shuishui and Nan Qiuqiu

After patrolling the sect without finding anything unusual, Nan Qiuqiu stopped and walked towards a pavilion. Soon, she saw a beautiful woman with fair skin who looked somewhat similar to her.

Beside the beautiful woman stood a young man dressed in black, who was pouring tea for her from a teapot. White steam rose slowly, and the aroma of tea wafted out with the breeze.

"Mom!" Nan Qiuqiu called out to the beautiful woman with a smile.

"Qiuqiu?" Nan Shuishui looked at Nan Qiuqiu, somewhat puzzled. "Normally at this time, don't you patrol the sect and then go to fight your fellow disciples?"

Without hesitation, Nan Qiuqiu said, "Mom, although fighting can improve my combat skills, I've already defeated all my peers in the sect. Fighting with my senior and junior brothers won't help me improve much anymore, so there's no need for me to fight them every day. Otherwise, wouldn't that be bullying them?"

"Moreover, last time I beat up my senior brothers until they were black and blue, and you saw it and gave me a good scolding!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Shuishui sighed inwardly. In her opinion, her daughter was good in every way, except that she was too proud. Pride can lead to arrogance, which caused Nan Qiuqiu to be less steady in her actions and prone to acting impulsively.

For a small sect like the Earth Dragon Sect, being steady and reliable in one's actions is actually a way to survive.

"Qiuqiu, you are an outstanding child, I will not deny that. Everyone in the sect takes care of you, partly because you are outstanding enough, and partly because you have me as your mother, the sect leader."

“But when your senior brothers were fighting, they were beaten black and blue by you. Was it really because they couldn’t beat you? They were just letting you win, but you still hit them hard and beat them black and blue…” Nan Shuishui said helplessly.

Nan Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment, then muttered, "Actually, my senior brothers don't need to go easy on me. When sparring within the sect, as long as they don't use deadly techniques or techniques that damage the foundation, it's fine."

"I am, after all, the owner of the Crimson Dragon Martial Soul. The best Martial Soul in the Earth Dragon Sect is the Crimson Dragon Martial Soul; all other Martial Souls are far inferior. So, even if my senior brothers don't go easy on me, I will still win!"

As the owner of the Rouge Dragon Martial Soul, she has always been proud of her Martial Soul because of its inherent annihilation attribute.

It should be noted that the Annihilation attribute is extremely rare, second only to the Ultimate attribute.

Its greatest feature is that it can eliminate all attribute abilities. Therefore, once an annihilation attribute soul master launches an attack and hits the opponent, even if the enemy has the ultimate attribute, the attribute ability will be decomposed. If the enemy wants to resist the annihilation attribute, he must spend more soul power.

Nan Shuishui frowned, her expression serious: "Qiuqiu, even if what you say is true, you can't be arrogant. In this world, there are many talented people and geniuses. Just like the Soul Battle Tournament when the Sun Moon Empire won the championship, a large number of geniuses emerged from the Sun Moon team."

Not only could they use powerful soul tools, but for their age, possessing that level of cultivation was undoubtedly an extremely rare feat.

As the sect leader of the Earth Dragon Gate, she would naturally pay attention to the grand event of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament, since it was related to whether the major powers would continue to prosper in the future.

In the Douluo Continent, the strength of a force is largely related to the strength of its members. And how do these strong members come about? Naturally, they are cultivated from geniuses.

If a force doesn't have enough strong individuals, it risks being destroyed by outsiders no matter how many resources it possesses. This is something no leader of any force wants to see.

Nan Qiuqiu rolled her eyes: "Mom, I admit that the Sun Moon Team's soul tools are very powerful, and those people are all soul tool geniuses. However, the Sun Moon people's cultivation levels are basically improved by consuming pills."

Even if their current cultivation level improves rapidly, the damaged potential can never be recovered. I believe those people aren't geniuses at all in terms of Soul Master cultivation; their actual cultivation talent might even be inferior to mine!

"Perhaps only those in Shrek Academy's inner court are true Soul Master geniuses. After all, Shrek Academy is the number one Soul Master Academy on the continent, attracting a large number of talents from the Douluo Three Kingdoms."

Nan Shuishui's face stiffened, and she angrily scolded, "I told you not to be too arrogant and conceited, and to look at the strengths of those geniuses who are better than you, not to focus on their shortcomings of taking pills. Besides, whether they take pills or not, their cultivation is genuine."

"Fine, since you're unwilling to fight your senior brothers, then fight me. If you lose, I'll punish you by sending you to Zhenlong Shore for long-term seclusion."

As for Nan Shuishui, she felt she needed to give her daughter a good talking-to and try to change her personality, because in the future, Nan Qiuqiu would inevitably take over as the sect leader.

However, the Earth Dragon Sect is a small sect, and small sects must keep a low profile in front of powerful forces, otherwise they may invite disaster. The Douluo Continent has a long history, and countless sects have been destroyed during that time. Even a powerful sect like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was destroyed by the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, for the safety of the Earth Dragon Gate, the future leader of the Earth Dragon Gate must not be an arrogant person.

"Mom." Nan Qiuqiu's expression changed slightly. One of the things she hated most was long-term seclusion, because it was just too boring.

A young man named Xiao Ye said from the side, "Sect Master, isn't this a bit too unfair to our eldest sister?"

Nan Shuishui glanced at Xiao Ye. He was also one of the geniuses of the Earth Dragon Sect, and his martial soul was the Night Dragon. Therefore, Nan Shuishui thought highly of Xiao Ye and believed that he could become her daughter Nan Qiuqiu's right-hand man in the future.

She sighed, "Fairness? This world is all about strength, there's no such thing as fairness! If the Earth Dragon Gate isn't strong enough, then Qiuqiu can't be arrogant and conceited, she has to change her personality, otherwise she'll suffer sooner or later. Look at Old Tianlong, if the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family were still around, would he be stuck guarding that Heavenly Dragon Gate now?"

After saying this, she looked at Nan Qiuqiu and said, "Qiuqiu, let's find an open space and start fighting now."

Nan Qiuqiu gave a bitter "hmm". A moment later, she sat on the ground, sweating profusely and panting heavily. She felt some pain in her shoulder.

Even though Nan Shui Shui suppressed her cultivation to the same level as her, she was still easily defeated by her opponent.

“Alright, as previously agreed, I will now send you to Zhenlong Shore for seclusion,” Nan Shuishui said.

Suddenly, a male voice sounded behind Nan Shuishui: "Sect Leader Nan, there's no need to rush this matter. We have something to discuss with you."

Nan Shuishui suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She turned around abruptly, shielding Nan Qiuqiu behind her, and looked at the three figures that were gradually appearing in the distance. Sensing that the newcomers were not friendly, she figured that these three must have used some kind of special invisibility soul skill and had been hiding nearby for a long time, otherwise they would not have been able to suddenly appear.

Chapter 242 Deceiving Nan Shuishui

Thinking of this, Nan Shuishui felt a chill run through her body.

If the other party hadn't deliberately revealed their presence, I wouldn't have been able to find them at all.

This means that if those three had harbored malicious intentions, they could have simply killed him.

"I never expected that Dean Jing, who is renowned throughout Douluo Continent, would come to our Earth Dragon Gate. Why didn't you have someone announce your arrival? Your hasty arrival shows that our Earth Dragon Gate has failed in its hospitality and has been impolite." Nan Shui Shui recognized the extremely famous Jing Hong Chen and forced a smile.

None of the three concealed their faces, but because she hadn't left Dragon City for a long time, she only knew Jing Hongchen. As for the information about the Soul Fighting Tournament, she naturally learned it from others.
