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

Because of his Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion martial soul and his own soul bone, his power is indeed great.

Of course, the reason he was able to suppress Di Qiu'er in terms of strength was actually due to the Douluo version of the exoskeleton soul tool that he had recently developed in private.

The greatest use of this thing in Douluo Continent is to temporarily increase one's own power, so it is perfectly normal that Di Qiu'er could not break free.

"This..." Di Qiu'er was somewhat surprised, and immediately used more of her physical strength to try to break free from Huo Yuhao's restraints, but she failed.

As for the Golden Dragon Spear, it has been blocked by the Snow Empress and cannot return, so she cannot get its help.

"That's strange. Is it because of your soul tool?" Di Qiu'er asked, looking at Huo Yuhao's exoskeleton.

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Of course, this is an exoskeleton soul tool. As long as you wear it, you can increase your strength and lift heavier things."

"A wondrous soul tool. I lost to you in strength, but so be it, you've won this contest." Di Qiu'er said with a hint of helplessness.

She hadn't expected that she, with her ultimate martial soul, would lose to Huo Yuhao in terms of power. Although he did rely on the external force of his soul tool, the soul tool itself was part of his strength.

As expected, my decision to come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was correct; the level of soul tools here is indeed very high.

Of course, when she saw the Snow Empress's Three Absolute Techniques, she knew she had already lost. She knew that there was a huge gap in strength between her and the Snow Empress.

Although she didn't understand the situation, she didn't think she could defeat Xue Di.

"I never expected that you, Yuhao, could defeat Di Qiu'er in close combat. You truly deserve to be the number one genius of my Sun Moon Empire."

Jing Hongchen strode over, then looked at the exoskeleton with shining eyes. "This thing is quite valuable, Yuhao. Are you interested in putting it into mass production?"

While humanoid soul tools are powerful, it's impossible to have one for everyone. This exoskeleton soul tool seems to be much easier to manufacture.

"Of course I'm interested." Huo Yuhao nodded, then said, "Dean, what about Di Qiu'er's assessment..."

"Yes, she's a very good student; she passed the first hurdle of the special admissions exam."

However, given that you said she has never learned how to make soul tools, I think there's no need to hold the subsequent soul master qualification assessment. She can just spend some time learning about soul masters later.

As Jing Hongchen spoke, he looked at Di Qiu'er and said, "Then, from today onwards, you will be a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

.....

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Orange was standing in a conference room, having a meeting with some people from the Spirit Pagoda.

She signed a so-called contract with Huo Yuhao. The main content of the contract was that Ju Zi could not betray Huo Yuhao. In return, Huo Yuhao would arrange a soul spirit for Ju Zi and take her with him to take revenge on some people in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

In fact, Huo Yuhao was quite confident about the security of the contract.

Because this was a contract drawn up by Electrox, who, as the Holy God of the Necromancers, was naturally very skilled at drawing up soul contracts.

For Huo Yuhao, gathering the oranges was indeed a good thing.

Orange has not yet shown her outstanding talent on the battlefield, but in the future, Orange will surely shine on the battlefield and deliver a fatal blow to Dai Hao, the renowned Duke of White Tiger.

Admittedly, Ju Zi's victory in the original work was inseparable from the advanced soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire. However, judging from the original work, Dai Hao's ability to command the war was not as good as Ju Zi's, so Dai Hao's defeat was inevitable.

“I think it’s time for our Spirit Pagoda to be exposed to the public. The outstanding achievements of the Pagoda Master should be known to the world. Perhaps the Spirit Pagoda can become a national guardian religion in the future, and the Pagoda Master can become the national advisor!” said a Spirit Pagoda Master.

Orange immediately rejected the other party's idea: "No, the Spirit Pagoda is not strong enough right now and can only secretly accumulate power. The Holy Spirit Cult will never allow a newly established Spirit Pagoda to take its place."

If the followers of the Holy Spirit Cult go mad, then the Spirit Pagoda will suffer extremely severe damage.

It's important to know that the Holy Spirit Cult has Ye Xishui, and Long Xiaoyao always listens to Ye Xishui. So the Holy Spirit Cult barely has two Limit Douluo. What does it mean for two Limit Douluo to join forces?

According to Ju Zi's estimation, given the current level of defense in the palace, the two Limit Douluo could easily break into the palace, kill the Sun Moon Emperor who is currently bedridden, and then swagger out of the palace.

Therefore, Xu Tianran privately told her that if he were to ascend to the throne in the future, he would definitely renovate the palace to further ensure his personal safety.

Chapter 128 Plan

“Secretary Ju is right.” A portly spirit medium nodded.

Ju Zi was sent by Huo Yuhao to the Spirit Pagoda; according to Huo Yuhao, Ju Zi was essentially his secretary.

Therefore, in many situations, Ju Zi also represents a part of Huo Yuhao's will. Although Ju Zi's intelligence will be slightly affected when it comes to parents, children, and love, according to the original setting, Ju Zi's intelligence is still very high among peerless heroes as long as these things are not involved.

Orange continued, "In the Sun Moon Empire, the Soul Master Corps is a very powerful force, so we need to win over some trustworthy high-ranking members of the Soul Master Corps."

Using souls as bait, they can be made to become supporters of the Spirit Pagoda. Only by controlling the Soul Master Corps of the Sun and Moon can the Spirit Pagoda's power grow rapidly.

There are only a few level nine soul masters in the soul master group, so the others still need soul spirits. Of course, most level nine soul masters actually have families, so even if they don't need soul spirits, their families do.

"But... winning over the Soul Master Corps is not an easy task. Although Soul Spirits are indeed a product of a new era, given the temperaments of those Soul Master Corps members, they might very well turn on you as soon as they get a Soul Spirit and try to steal the method of creating Soul Spirits." The fat Spirit Master expressed his concerns.

The other spirit masters were also worried and began to whisper among themselves. Everyone present acknowledged the strength of the Soul Master Corps because of their special status and powerful strength. They often banded together and had done some bad things.

Orange said, "Everyone can rest assured, I guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen. Our Spirit Pagoda also has powerful backers. If the Soul Master Corps dares to do such a thing, the Pagoda Master will make the backers step in."

Therefore, if anyone has connections within the Soul Master Corps, they can start taking action secretly now.

The so-called "backer" refers to Kong Deming, who at least served as the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, though not many people knew about this.

Kong Deming is the head of the offering hall, so basically all the offerings will side with Kong Deming.

Therefore, promoting spirits in the shrine, allowing the worshippers to enjoy the benefits of spirits, and winning over the worshippers is actually a very simple thing.

However, the offerings are different from the level nine soul masters of the Soul Master Corps, so Orange plans to expand the influence of the Spirit Pagoda by absorbing the high-ranking members of the Soul Master Corps.

Once the high-ranking members of the Soul Master Corps are successfully recruited, the Soul Spirits can be gradually promoted to the middle and even lower levels, thereby winning over all members of the Soul Master Corps.

After all, the benefits that souls can bring are simply too great.

“Okay.” All the spirit mediums present agreed.

"Now, let's discuss other things..." Orange continued.

A moment later, after making some arrangements, the spirit mediums left one after another, and Orange also walked out of the conference room.

.......

With Huo Yuhao's help, Di Qiu'er spent a little time getting rid of the chill on her body. Then she looked at Huo Yuhao nearby and asked, "Senior Yuhao, I'm not familiar with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, so could you show me around the academy?"

She wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Huo Yuhao privately about the Snow Empress.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that Qiu'er in the original work would never have said such a thing when they first met. However, it was normal for Di Qiu'er's personality to deviate from that in the original work without being influenced by the daughter of the Sea God.

He nodded: "Okay."

Then he looked at Jing Hongchen and Xuan Ziwen beside him: "Dean, Teacher Xuan, then I will take Di Qiu'er to visit the academy first."

"Okay, go ahead." Xuan Ziwen waved his hand generously, as if the teacher was fully supporting him.

Jing Hongchen, who was standing to the side, opened his mouth, about to say something to stop the two of them from strolling around the academy together.

What if these two develop feelings for each other while strolling around the academy? What will happen to Xiao Meng then? Huo Yuhao is undoubtedly an outstanding person and would be a very suitable grandson-in-law.

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, Jing Hongchen couldn't continue, because he didn't know what reason he should give to stop Di Qiu'er and Huo Yuhao's actions. Well, a junior inviting a senior to visit the campus, there was absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Moreover, it is Huo Yuhao's freedom to do whatever he wants.

So he could only watch helplessly as Huo Yuhao and Di Qiu'er left.

Xuan Ziwen sensed that Jing Hongchen's condition was a bit off, and he asked with some doubt, "Master, everyone's gone, what are you still looking at?"

I have a brilliant idea for a soul tool. Why don't you come with me to the lab to research it?

Jing Hongchen was somewhat helpless. He waved his hand and said, "I have something to do, so I won't be going to the lab. If you need anything, you can come to my office later."

......

Huo Yuhao and Di Qiu'er walked through the academy, and soon they arrived at a secluded place where only the two of them were.

Di Qiu'er immediately slowed down and asked Huo Yuhao, "Senior Yuhao, can you explain to me what happened to that little girl just now? Her background must be unusual."

She decided to ask the question that had been bothering her. Although she judged that the other person was Xue Di, she still wanted to get a definite answer from Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao thought to himself that she was no ordinary person. He nodded and said, "She is the Snow Empress."

Di Qiu'er's pupils contracted slightly. She took a deep breath and asked, "Snow Empress? I remember Snow Empress was the leader of the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, so why has she become like this?"

She didn't quite understand. With the Snow Empress's strength, it was practically impossible for her to be captured by humans. After all, she was a soul beast with nearly 700,000 years of cultivation. If the Snow Empress were in the far north, her strength could be further enhanced.

"This involves something called a soul." Huo Yuhao didn't hide his thoughts from Di Qiu'er. Anyway, he originally planned to cooperate with Di Qiu'er, and with Di Qiu'er's knowledge, she would definitely be able to recognize the Snow Emperor's Three Wonders.

The development of the Spirit Pagoda is inseparable from spirit beasts, and the largest gathering place of spirit beasts on the Douluo Continent is the Star Dou Great Forest. If we can make contact with Star Dou through Di Qiu'er, it would naturally be a good thing.

"Soul spirit?" Di Qiu'er was a little confused. She knew that human soul masters had soul rings, but what was a soul spirit?

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao began to patiently explain to Di Qiu'er what a soul spirit is, and why Xue Di became his soul spirit.

Of course, he made some slight modifications to the content regarding tricking the Snow Empress into becoming his spirit.

After hearing these words, Di Qiu'er fell silent. She felt that this matter was too outrageous. It was a very normal thing for the Snow Emperor to transform into human form to avoid the heavenly tribulation. She could understand it, after all, the Snow Emperor had the right to live.

However, it's too much of a coincidence that Xue Di was captured by a level nine soul master and imprisoned in the Conferred God Platform when she was transforming into human form. It's as if some behind-the-scenes force was guiding this event.

Chapter 129 Return to the Stars

For a moment, she thought of fate.

After all, although she holds a revered position among soul beasts, unlike other soul beasts, as an auspicious beast, she does not have the so-called 100,000-year bottleneck. Theoretically, as long as she wants to live, she can live forever.

However, there were times when she had to submit to fate, because she had a tribulation she had to go through in her life.

Di Qiu'er was unclear about the form and timing of the calamity, but she felt that resolving it would definitely not be an easy task.

So, could it be that even a powerful soul beast like the Snow Empress, with nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, would have to endure tribulations? No, isn't the Heavenly Tribulation itself a kind of tribulation?

So, what other tribulations, besides the Heavenly Tribulation, might a soul beast of this level face?

Di Qiu'er fell into deep thought. In the world of soul beasts, she was not particularly old, so there were some things she didn't know.

Thinking of this, she looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "Senior Yuhao, the concept of a soul spirit wasn't invented by your teacher, but by you. So, you're a peerless genius. However, this should be our first meeting, and you're telling me about something as important as the Snow Empress's soul spirit so directly?"

For a moment, Di Qiu'er was also somewhat puzzled.

She felt that the other party seemed to trust her too much. According to Huo Yuhao, once a soul beast becomes a soul spirit, it will definitely drop a soul bone. And with Xue Di's strength, the soul bone that the other party dropped must be of very high value.

This means that once this news gets out, Huo Yuhao will immediately be targeted. After all, Di Qiu'er doesn't know if soul spirits can be inherited, but she knows that soul bones can.

The Snow Emperor's soul bone is undoubtedly an extremely tempting thing.

Huo Yuhao shook his head: "Di Qiu'er, actually this isn't the first time we've met."

Upon hearing this, Di Qiu'er's body tensed up immediately. Now that she had transformed into human form, she had lost most of her former power, so she was extremely weak. If Huo Yuhao recognized her, it would mean that she was very likely to be captured.
