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

"Alright, I've explained everything I needed to. Next, I'll make you stronger. For a Soul Master, the importance of a Martial Soul is self-evident, so I'll address your Martial Soul issue first."

“My martial soul…” Dai Luoli smiled bitterly, “My martial soul has undergone a malignant mutation, and there is simply no way to solve this problem.”

"This problem isn't difficult to solve. All I need to do is let your martial soul awaken a second time. However, you have to leave the Duke's mansion with me and come back after some time," Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice.

"What about the Duke's mansion?" Dai Luoli asked with some concern.

"Isn't he here at the Duke's mansion?" Huo Yuhao glanced at Old Liu, who was frozen in place. "I'll restore him to normal, and he'll handle the problem of you not being at the Duke's mansion."

Upon hearing this, Dai Luoli hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded in agreement. As a son born out of wedlock, he knew very well that he had to show respect to the powerful who could control his life.

Soon, Huo Yuhao released Liu Lao from his ice sculpture state and, using spatial magic, tore open a spatial rift, taking Dai Luoli away and leaving Liu Lao in a disheveled state in the courtyard.

"Tearing open a spatial rift to take someone away? Could this person be a Limit Douluo?" Old Liu looked at the gradually healing spatial rift, anxious but helpless.

After all, a Limit Douluo was simply not someone he could contend with. For the sake of the Duke's safety, he had to keep what he had just seen and heard to himself.

After the guards woke up, Old Liu had no choice but to bite the bullet and lie, saying that the mysterious man in black robes was actually an elder of the former White Tiger Duke Dai Hao, but that he had a somewhat eccentric personality, which was why he caused a series of disputes.

The mysterious man in black robes is currently in seclusion with the current Duke, which is why the two have disappeared.

The guards naturally believed Elder Liu's words. After all, Elder Liu had watched the former White Tiger Duke Dai Hao grow up. Although Elder Liu often went into seclusion to cultivate, he would sometimes come out to guide everyone.

Therefore, Old Liu actually held considerable prestige within the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

Twelve days later, in the study of the White Tiger Duke's mansion, Huo Yuhao led Dai Luoli out through a spatial rift that appeared.

Compared to twelve days ago, Dai Luoli at this moment has undergone a complete transformation.

Chapter 721 Blood Tiger Dai Luoli

At that moment, Mr. Liu was organizing books in his study. When he heard the breathing sound, he immediately turned around and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Huo Yuhao and Dai Luoli's figures immediately came into view.

His pupils contracted slightly, and he exclaimed in a joyful voice, "Your Grace, you're finally back!"

As he spoke, he quickly walked up to Dai Luoli and began to examine Dai Luoli's body, trying to see if Dai Luoli was injured. When he found that Dai Luoli was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, he had been on tenterhooks the whole time he was away from Dai Luoli, fearing that something might have happened to her. Fortunately, she returned to the Duke's mansion safely, and he was finally relieved.

"Old Liu, arrange for the cooks in the Duke's mansion to prepare some food. I'm hosting a private banquet for the senior!" Dai Luoli ordered Old Liu.

At this moment, Dai Luoli's face was ruddy, and he exuded a murderous aura, as if he had fought his way out of a life-or-death situation. When he spoke, his voice was firm and resolute, and the cowardly aura that had remained on the other person in the past seemed to have disappeared completely.

What exactly did Dai Luoli experience during those twelve days?

Old Liu was somewhat puzzled, but he felt a sense of relief. After all, as a loyal supporter of the Duke's Mansion, he was happy to see Dai Luoli grow, as this was a good thing for the Duke's Mansion!

"No need. I'll be leaving the Duke's mansion soon. Just don't forget what you promised me." Huo Yuhao directly rejected Dai Luoli's suggestion.

During the twelve days he took Dai Luoli away, he not only helped Dai Luoli solve her martial soul problem, but also helped Dai Luoli improve her strength. Of course, more importantly, he persuaded Dai Luoli to agree to some things for him.

Upon hearing this, Dai Luoli's expression changed slightly, but she still said in the end, "Senior, rest assured, I will definitely do what I promised you!"

"Okay, that's fine then. I'll try to come back and visit you whenever I have time in the future."

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he used spatial magic. In an instant, a silver magic circle appeared beneath his feet. The runes in the magic circle were ancient and solemn, exuding a sense of historical weight.

Several pitch-black spatial rifts, like small snakes, snaked and appeared. The next moment, the magic array shone brightly, and Huo Yuhao's figure disappeared, leaving only the pitch-black spatial rifts slowly healing.

Seeing this, Dai Luoli felt a pang of loss: "Senior!"

"Your Grace, what was that black-robed elder talking about, the thing you promised him?" Old Liu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Dai Luoli trusted Elder Liu very much, knowing that the man was extremely loyal to Duke Baihu, so he explained in a deep voice: "I promised you, senior, that I would never go to the battlefield to fight against the Sun and Moon Army before I become a Title Douluo."

Old Liu was somewhat taken aback, thinking to himself, "Your Excellency Duke, your talent is not good enough. You will never become a Title Douluo in this lifetime. Could it be that this Limit Douluo is thinking of ensuring that you will never oppose the Sun Moon Empire in your entire life?"

"Your Grace, why...why did you agree to this request?" he asked, somewhat puzzled.

Dai Luoli replied in a deep voice, "Senior has been incredibly kind to me, allowing my martial soul to awaken a second time. As a result, my talent has been greatly enhanced, and I now have the possibility of becoming a Title Douluo in the future. I am nineteen years old this year, and according to my estimation, I should be able to become a Title Douluo when I am in my thirties!"

"Wait! Your Grace, you said your Martial Soul has awakened a second time? This... Isn't it only the Body Sect that can perform a second awakening of the Martial Soul?" Old Liu asked incredulously.

Dai Luoli looked helpless and said, "Elder Liu, I knew you wouldn't believe it. In fact, I didn't believe it at first either, and my thoughts were pretty much the same as yours. After all, this kind of thing sounds too exaggerated. But as it turns out, I was wrong. Now, with the help of my senior, I have indeed undergone a second awakening of my martial soul."

As he spoke, he activated his Martial Soul Possession. Almost instantly, a dazzling blood-red light emanated from Dai Luoli's body, and blood-red hair grew on his body. His eyes, which originally only had black pupils, now also had a pair of blood-red pupils.

He raised his hands, and even his tiger claws were blood-red!

Seeing this, Elder Liu looked shocked and murmured, "Your Grace, your Martial Soul is indeed different from before. Is this what is called the second awakening of the Martial Soul? How did this senior manage to do it?"

Dai Luoli shook his head and said, "Elder Liu, I promised that senior that I would never reveal the method of how to perform a second awakening of a martial soul. Even if you ask me, I have nothing to say."

Although Old Liu was somewhat disappointed, it was understandable. After all, the method to help someone achieve a second awakening of their martial soul must be a top secret. It was quite normal for the black-robed senior to ask the Duke not to reveal the method.

"Your Grace, may you demonstrate the power of your Martial Soul after its second awakening?" Old Liu asked with a smile. He was quite curious, after all, this was the first time in his life that he had encountered someone other than a Body Sect Soul Master who had undergone a second awakening of their Martial Soul.

“Of course!” Dai Luoli did not refuse. “Let’s go to the yard. The study is too small and we can’t work properly there.”

Soon, the two arrived at the backyard. Dai Luoli looked at Old Liu, took a deep breath, and five spirit rings rose from beneath her feet, with a color ratio of two yellow, two purple, and one black.

"Your Grace, in just twelve days, you've gone from a Soul Master to a Soul King?" Old Liu's eyes revealed surprise.

“This is also thanks to your help, senior.” Dai Luoli said with some emotion. “However, in the end, all the help you have given me is because of my brother’s request. If my brother hadn’t asked you for help, I probably would never have received your help in this lifetime, given my talent.”

Upon hearing this, Elder Liu fell silent. In fact, if possible, he would prefer Huo Yuhao to inherit the title of Duke of White Tiger, given Huo's exceptional talent.

However, the other party chose to pledge allegiance to the Sun Moon Empire and revealed all the grievances they had suffered in the Dai family back then. The conflict was directed at Dai Hao, the Duchess, and others, which made Old Liu, who was a retainer of the Dai family, quite dissatisfied. Of course, his dissatisfaction was not directed at Huo Yuhao, but at Dai Hao and others.

If it weren't for these guys, perhaps Huo Yuhao would have stayed with the Dai family and led them to greatness once again!

However, since Huo Yuhao takes good care of Dai Luoli, even if the Sun Moon Army really attacks in the future, Dai Luoli will probably be able to survive, so that the direct bloodline of the Dai family can continue.

After all, Huo Yuhao is now the renowned number one genius of Sun Moon Academy, with an extremely high status and a very powerful background. Even the Marshal of Sun Moon Academy would probably give him face.

“Old Liu, since the White Tiger Martial Soul awakened for the second time, I have given it a new name—Blood Tiger. Therefore, every one of my soul skills should be named after Blood Tiger,” Dai Luoli said earnestly.

Old Liu nodded: "Your Grace, please do your best!"

Chapter 722 Damn Holy Spirit Cult, I'm going to blow your headquarters to the sky!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Dai Luoli began to attack Old Liu.

Even though he had become a Soul King, he couldn't harm a Title Douluo even if he went all out. Therefore, he naturally had no worries when he attacked.

As for Old Liu, he is not one of those people who like to test their juniors and torment them to the point of exhaustion.

He only defended and did not attack, carefully observing the differences between Dai Luoli and before in the battle.

After a while, an exhausted Dai Luoli, panting heavily, stared at Elder Liu: "Elder Liu, how does my Blood Tiger Martial Soul compare to before?"

"Putting aside the bonus from your Soul Power level, Your Excellency, your Blood Tiger Martial Soul is indeed much stronger than your previous mutated White Tiger Martial Soul. In fact, every attack you launch carries a mental attack. In my lifetime, I believe I will be able to witness the day when you become a Title Douluo," Elder Liu exclaimed in admiration.

“It’s normal for it to come with a mental attack. My senior said that my martial soul originally had a mental attribute because of the mutation, but it had been hidden and could not be activated. Now that my martial soul has awakened for the second time, this mental attribute has also been activated,” Dai Luoli explained.

......

Sun and Moon Empire, outside the Ming capital.

Demonic forest.

A disheveled man sat on a branch of a large tree, sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting dappled shadows on his body.

The man slurped down his wine while gnawing on a chicken leg, a look of pure enjoyment on his face.

This person was none other than Xuanzi.

He has been evading the pursuit of the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult these days, so his current situation is not actually safe.

According to his thinking, if his current actions were traced back to his true location, it would mean facing the Limit Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult, at which point he would truly face certain death.

Even if Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao knew Elder Mu, they wouldn't let him off the hook just because of Elder Mu's reputation.

To be honest, it wasn't that he was afraid of dying, but he felt that he still had many things to do, so he couldn't die and had to live as long as possible.

If he dies, not only will he be unable to atone for his sins and avenge the dead, but he will also greatly weaken the power of Shrek Academy.

Xuanzi's brows furrowed into a deep frown as he pondered: "I currently have grudges against both the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, but my main task is actually to cause trouble within the Sun Moon Empire, diverting the attention of its powerful members and relieving pressure on the allied forces... Therefore, the best approach is to incite conflict between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire. This way, I can take advantage of the chaos and live a little longer."

"But how am I supposed to stir up conflict? Should I disguise myself as an evil soul master to attack a sun and moon soul master, or should I disguise myself as a sun and moon soul master to attack an evil soul master?"

The two sides should be cooperating now. Ordinary attacks certainly won't provoke conflict, so I have to launch a big attack, but I also need to make sure I can survive.

"Ah, if only that mysterious powerful figure could stay and help me. That would make some things much easier for me."

Suddenly, a noisy crowd came from afar.

"Senior Brother, we've finally completed Master's task. When we get back, Master will probably reward us with some vengeful spirits!"

"Given the teacher's personality, he probably won't reward us with vengeful spirits, but rather with some rare metals so that we can hone our soul guidance skills and create more soul guidance devices suitable for evil soul masters."

As a level 98 Super Douluo, Xuanzi had excellent hearing and could easily hear the conversation in the distance. After thinking for a moment, he decided to hide and see what was going on before making any further plans.

He immediately flew down from the giant tree branch and soon stood beside a mound as tall as a person. He was surrounded by a thick yellow light. He walked into the mound and became one with it, without encountering any obstacles.

Although his grasp of spatial power was not profound, he was quite skilled at controlling earth element, and doing this was not difficult for him.

However, this method of covering one's existence with mud is quite effective when facing the weak, but it is not very useful when facing the strong, as it will be quickly seen through.

The noisy voices grew closer.

"Sigh, I have to make soul tools again. Why don't we ask the Supreme Elder to make more of these soul tools? With her strength, making these soul tools would be extremely easy for her."

“The Supreme Elder has already made quite a few of these soul tools suitable for evil soul masters. We can’t rely on the Supreme Elder for everything. You know he’s getting old… Moreover, recently, because of Xuanzi’s matter, the Supreme Elder has been furious and has no mind to make these kinds of soul tools. Alright, enough said, let’s go back to headquarters.”

Two figures in black robes flew across the sky, each with a pair of jet-black flying soul tools on their backs, exuding a sinister aura. Several vengeful spirits of soul beasts followed beside them. The two complained as they flew, and soon they passed by.

"Evil Soul Master!" Xuanzi, his eyes emerging from the soil, watched the two leave and made a judgment about them in his heart.

Of course, he didn't kill the two guys immediately, but was very interested in the headquarters they mentioned.

After all, the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult has always been a mystery.

During this time, he had interrogated some of the evil spirit masters he had captured, trying to find out the location of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, but these people were under a restriction and could not reveal the location of the Holy Spirit Cult headquarters at all.

But since it's the headquarters, there's a high chance there are a lot of evil soul masters there. Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao might be there too. If I run into those two, I'll be in big trouble.

After hesitating for a moment, he used his control over the earth element to burrow underground and follow them.

Fortunately, he had already memorized their auras. With the powerful mental strength of a level 98 Super Douluo, he was still able to keep up with them. However, he was extremely cautious during the tracking process and kept a certain distance from them.

After a while, Xuanzi stopped, because he saw a magnificent palace underground and heard a great deal of noise.
