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

He looked at the old man in black robes, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself that this guy had no bottom line and that countless children had suffered at his hands.

"A mere Soul Master? How dare you make the vengeful spirit I painstakingly crafted vanish into nothingness?" The old man in black robes looked at the four soul rings on Huo Yuhao's body, his anger barely contained.

He rushed directly towards Huo Yuhao's direction. As for Ye Guyi nearby, he couldn't escape anyway, so he would deal with her later.

Seeing this, Ye Guyi was extremely anxious and shouted, "Run! Don't linger! He's a Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level! You're no match for him!"

She was grateful that the other person had saved her, but she didn't want to see him die at the hands of an evil spirit master.

Chapter 151 Fan Yu and his apprentice steal the blueprints

Huo Yuhao did not leave; he deactivated the simulated soul skill that had been covering the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King's souls.

The next moment, two loud dragon roars rang out. The old man in black robes was startled and looked in the direction from which the sound came. Two dragon souls were staring at him menacingly.

"This... Dragon Soul? You're also an evil soul master?" The old man in black robes asked with some surprise and doubt.

Generally speaking, only evil soul masters would attempt to control souls; what legitimate soul master would attempt to control a soul?

Huo Yuhao did not answer the other party's question. After all, villains die from talking too much. Although he was not a villain at the moment, there was nothing more to say to this kind of guy. So he moved his mind slightly and directly commanded the two dragon souls to attack, preparing to kill the other party as soon as possible.

"Two dragon souls are rare, but with your Soul Sect's strength, it's impossible for you to control such powerful dragon souls. In that case, I'll take them." A greedy look appeared on the black-robed old man's face. He was prepared to take the two dragon souls directly and then kill Huo Yuhao. So what if the other party was an evil soul master?

The evil spirit masters are not a united front.

What's more, the opponent is just a Soul Master, while I am a Soul Douluo!

The next moment, the two dragon souls launched an attack, with blazing flames and icy ice attacking the black-robed old man with their breath.

The old man in black robes used his level eight soul guide shield to slightly resist, but his level eight soul guide shield immediately developed a lot of cracks, and he quickly retreated, while the two dragon souls pursued him relentlessly.

"This! This is at least an attack at the Title Douluo level! Oh no, two Title Douluo level dragon souls?" His expression changed drastically, somewhat surprised, and then he began to beg for mercy: "Spare me! We can talk!"

But his pleas for mercy were in vain. Soon, amidst his wails and curses, the two dragon souls killed him completely, and his body turned to dust and gradually dissipated.

Ye Guyi watched this scene with disbelief. A Soul Master could actually control a Dragon Soul at the Title Douluo level and then easily kill a Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level. Even among evil Soul Masters, this was an extremely explosive existence.

Without a doubt, this person is already a rare powerhouse in the world thanks to the Dragon Soul. After all, Title Douluo are not commonplace; for any force, Title Douluo are extremely important.

However, she felt conflicted at the moment. The other party had saved her, but he seemed to be an evil spirit master. So, would she still be doomed to die later?

Huo Yuhao descended from mid-air and walked towards Ye Guyi, saying, "I know that when you saw me controlling the dragon soul, you suspected that I was an evil soul master, but I have to explain that I am really not an evil soul master."

"Really?" Ye Guyi was somewhat skeptical.

"Of course it's true. If I were an evil soul master, I would have killed you long ago." Huo Yuhao said helplessly. Then he summoned the Blade of the Living Spirit. "You have some injuries. I'll heal you and then take you back to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. As for some things, I'll explain them to you on the way."

.......

Mingde Hall.

Fan Yu is researching soul tools, and at Shrek Academy, he is a leader in the field of soul tool masters.

Because the strongest Soul Master at Shrek Academy is only an eighth-level Soul Master, he actually holds a very high position among the Soul Masters at Shrek Academy.

However, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he was the weakest level eight Soul Master, mainly because Shrek Academy's standards for evaluating Soul Masters were lower than those of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

So here, he, the so-called Shrek Academy team leader, is actually a humble "student" seeking knowledge.

During this period, he learned a lot about soul tools at Mingde Hall, and he gained a lot. He felt that his skill in making soul tools had indeed improved by leaps and bounds.

However, learning about soul tools is only icing on the cake. He felt that if he wanted to develop Shrek Academy's soul tool department, he would have to take a risk.

Everything is for Shrek Academy!

He looked up, glanced around, and saw that the researchers had all left their workstations and gone to rest.

Fan Yu immediately coughed a few times. He Caitou, who was studying the soul tool diligently, looked up and glanced at his teacher Fan Yu. The two exchanged a brief look, and He Caitou immediately understood what Fan Yu meant.

The two had agreed yesterday to steal the blueprints from Mingde Hall while the researcher was away, and then send them back to the academy to help develop the academy's soul tools.

After all, the development of soul tools requires a lot of time and effort, while stealing the blueprints can greatly accelerate the development of Shrek Academy's soul tool department.

As for the consequences of the theft, Fan Yu believed that as long as there was no evidence, even if the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy suspected something, they couldn't do anything to him. After all, the Sun Moon Empire certainly didn't want to start a war at the moment.

The last time three level-nine soul masters joined forces to put pressure on Xuanzi, it made the Shrek Academy people realize that the era of soul tools was unstoppable. If it was for the future of the academy, even stealing soul tool blueprints was a commendable thing.

The Sun Moon Empire harbors wolfish ambitions and will inevitably become a scourge. In the future, it will definitely go to war with the Three Kingdoms of Douluo and attempt to unify the Douluo Continent.

However, according to the wisdom left behind by their ancestor Tang San, everyone at Shrek Academy believed that Douluo Continent should have multiple empires. If Douluo Continent only had one empire, it would undoubtedly be an extremely bad thing.

Therefore, Fan Yu believes that by stealing the blueprints now, they can quickly develop Shrek Academy's soul tools. Once these soul tools are used in future wars, they can reduce casualties in the Douluo Three Kingdoms and even hinder the Sun Moon Empire's plan to unify the Douluo Continent in the future.

Soon, the two began their plan to steal the blueprints. The process was carried out in an extremely secretive manner, but it put He Caitou under tremendous psychological pressure. Although he disliked the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, stealing was something that had never happened to him before.

After all, he used to be Xu He, who could basically have whatever he wanted and didn't need to steal anything.

He subconsciously glanced at Fan Yu out of the corner of his eye and found that Fan Yu's actions of stealing the blueprints were very skillful, and Fan Yu was extremely calm. It didn't seem like Fan Yu was stealing anything, but rather taking something that belonged to him.

In an instant, He Caitou's respect for his teacher grew even stronger. As expected of a teacher, even when stealing, his expression remained so natural.

Fan Yu noticed He Caitou's state and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "He Caitou, what are you looking at? Hurry up and get to work."

Remember, everything is for the future of Shrek Academy!

Don't feel guilty, just get to work. Stealing the blueprints for a soul tool isn't stealing. We're soul masters; how can we call it stealing when it's a soul master's business?

Chapter 152 Mirror of the Mortal World: I'm going to arrest you all

He Caitou instinctively felt that there was something wrong with what Teacher Fanyu said, but when he thought of his deceased parents and how good Shrek Academy had been to him, he stopped talking and started working silently.

"For the sake of the academy, and to avenge Xu Tianran and his son, we must steal the blueprints!" His mind raced with thoughts.

Then the master and apprentice began to steal the blueprints continuously. The blueprints basically contained the inscription methods for the core arrays of various soul tools. For any soul tool, the core array is always the most important thing.

Fan Yu wasn't worried about being discovered, because based on his observations over this period, the researchers from Mingde Hall would usually take a break during this time, so he had plenty of time.

After all, researchers are human too, and working long hours without rest is actually detrimental to their physical and mental health.

.....

Soul Guidance Monitoring Room.

Jing Hongchen frowned slightly as he watched Fan Yu and He Caitou stealing the blueprints on the screen.

Because Huo Yuhao had previously suggested comprehensively strengthening the defenses of Mingde Hall, he specially installed some extremely secretive soul-guided monitoring devices inside Mingde Hall. This was not because he didn't trust the researchers, but mainly to prevent problems from occurring inside Mingde Hall.

In fact, soul-guided monitoring doesn't involve much technology. In essence, it's not much different from the light-guided screens in the Starlight Auction House. So, Jing Hongchen didn't spend many gold soul coins to secretly install some soul-guided monitoring in Mingde Hall.

Of course, not many people know that the Soul Guidance Monitoring exists. Even among researchers, not every one of them knows that the monitoring exists. So it is actually quite normal that Fan Yu and He Caitou do not know that there is a monitoring in Mingde Hall.

“I never expected that Fan Yu and He Caitou, who both come from Shrek Academy, would actually steal blueprints inside Mingde Hall. Xiao Meng, what do you think I should do to punish them?” Jing Hongchen asked without turning his head.

Meng Hongchen, who was watching the screen, said with dissatisfaction, "Naturally, they should be punished according to the laws of the Sun Moon Empire. Those blueprints are the hard work of the researchers. Fan Yu and He Caitou stole these blueprints, definitely to send them back to Shrek Academy."

If one day the researchers were to learn that Shrek Academy had appropriated their hard-earned research results through such despicable means, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to them.

The researchers at Mingde Hall are all talented Soul Masters. However, even for talented Soul Masters, designing some very useful Soul Tools is not a simple task.

Although Mingde Hall wouldn't randomly store blueprints for level 8 and 9 soul tools inside, the level doesn't determine the value of a soul tool entirely.

Like an invincible shield, this kind of soul tool can only reach level seven at most.

Therefore, once these blueprints are delivered to Shrek Academy, it will undoubtedly cause huge losses to the Sun Moon Empire.

Jing Hongchen sighed, "Yes, I also hope to punish them according to the laws of the Sun Moon Empire, but they are backed by Shrek Academy, which means that if they only stole the blueprints, we absolutely cannot kill them."

After all, the Empire is not yet ready for war, and with Xiao and the others still at Shrek Academy, we can't afford to act rashly.

"However, we cannot just sit idly by and do nothing about this."

Those blueprints are extremely important to Mingde Hall. If they were stolen, I, as the head of Mingde Hall, would certainly have failed in my duty.

"Fortunately, Yuhao had warned us beforehand to strengthen the defenses of Mingde Hall. We thought it was just to guard against external threats, but we didn't expect that there would be threats within Mingde Hall as well."

After saying this, Jing Hongchen looked at Meng Hongchen beside him: "Xiao Meng, let's go. We need to arrest Fan Yu and He Caitou. We must not let them take the blueprints out of Mingde Hall."

Meng Hongchen did not refute, she nodded: "Okay, Grandpa."

......

"That's about it. With these blueprints, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department will definitely be able to develop rapidly and produce better Soul Guidance Devices. By the time the next Soul Battle Tournament is held, Shrek Academy will also be able to use some extremely advanced Soul Guidance Devices."

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Fan Yu's face. He subconsciously rubbed the storage ring on his finger, feeling that the future of Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department was promising.

Just then, He Caitou, who was standing nearby, heard the chaotic footsteps coming from outside. He immediately approached Fan Yu and whispered, "Teacher, someone is coming."

“Yes, I know. It must be other researchers. I guess they’ve finished their rest and are preparing to come back to continue developing soul tools. Let’s rest for a while too.” Fan Yu said, while giving He Caitou a wink.

Resting is just an excuse; the real goal is to get these blueprints back to Shrek Academy as soon as possible.

The longer the night goes on, the more things can go wrong. Only by sending these blueprints back can Fan Yu be completely at ease.

He Caitou immediately understood what Fan Yu meant, so he nodded and said, "Okay, teacher, let's go and rest then."

Fan Yu took the lead and walked towards the outside of Mingde Hall, with He Caitou following closely behind. Soon, the two arrived at the entrance, and sure enough, some researchers were already walking into Mingde Hall.

Suddenly, Fan Yu saw Jing Hongchen standing not far away. Jing Hongchen's face was ashen, and his gaze never left her. Beside Jing Hongchen was the famous genius girl, Meng Hongchen.

Fan Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he was worried that his theft of the blueprints had been exposed. However, he remained calm and showed no signs of distress, because he knew that he needed to stay calm, especially at this critical moment, otherwise he would inevitably give himself away.

So he continued walking briskly.

At this moment, Jing Hongchen walked up. Just as Fan Yu thought he might miss Jing Hongchen, Jing Hongchen stretched out his two hands and pressed down on Fan Yu's and He Caitou's shoulders respectively, saying, "Fan Yu, He Caitou, you stole the soul tool blueprints from inside Mingde Hall, so I am going to arrest you now."

Upon hearing this, the researchers who were walking towards Mingde Hall stopped and turned to look in Jing Hongchen's direction. Their faces were filled with astonishment, clearly shocked by what Jing Hongchen had said.

Fan Yu's expression changed, looking as if she had been wronged: "Dean Jing, some things can't be said carelessly. He Caitou and I have been studying diligently in Mingde Hall all this time, and we have never stolen any blueprints."

Fan Yu knew that once she did this, she absolutely could not admit it, otherwise it would bring extremely serious consequences. Moreover, she was always quite cautious in her actions, and the other party was probably just suspicious and trying to trick her, without being able to produce any evidence.

Therefore, as long as he continues to deny the theft, these blueprints will eventually be returned to the academy.

Chapter 153 Obey! Let me see!

"Oh? Really? If what you say is true, then I've wronged you?" Jing Hongchen sighed.

Fan Yu couldn't admit to stealing the blueprints, so he instinctively puffed out his chest and said emphatically, "Of course! I, Fan Yu, would never admit to something I didn't do."

I've been researching soul tools with He Caitou all along; I didn't steal any blueprints, right, He Caitou!

He Caitou, standing to the side, steeled himself and said, "That's right, the teacher has been researching soul tools with me all along, and he didn't steal the blueprints at all! I, He Caitou, can guarantee this with my own reputation!"
