Douluo Continent: The Spirit-Eyed Detective Huo Yuhao

"Alright, hmm?" Huo Yuhao glanced at Xu Tianran's original wheelchair, which was the only thing left at the scene, as if he had thought of something.

"I have a good idea." Huo Yuhao sat gently in the wheelchair, his face bearing Xu Tianran's deep and calculating smile. Under the transformation of mental simulation, he actually transformed into Xu Tianran's appearance.

"What are you doing..." He Caitou was puzzled as to what Huo Yuhao was trying to do.

"Brother He, come here." Huo Yuhao directed He Caitou to stand next to him, and then used the same mental simulation on him, transforming He Caitou into the Shadow Douluo.

"Let's go and take a look at the palace," Huo Yuhao said, feigning a light laugh as he pretended to be Xu Tianran.

"Hahaha, Yuhao, you're really something." He Caitou was amazed by Huo Yuhao's transformation skills, which made him, a strong man, look exactly like that hunchbacked old man.

Sun and Moon Palace

Impersonating Xu Tianran didn't go as smoothly as Huo Yuhao had imagined.

"Your Highness, there are several Soul Masters..."

"Your Highness, the meeting..."

"Your Highness, I..."

"Ugh, so annoying! Why are so many people coming over to talk to me?!" Huo Yuhao looked impatient. He had only just entered the capital city when a bunch of people came over to talk to him. He had never been a crown prince before, so how would he know how to speak without giving himself away?

"You can't just arrest everyone you meet!" He Caitou exclaimed in shock. Huo Yuhao seemed to think that he would consider his infiltration a success if he could eliminate everyone he encountered. He knocked out everyone who tried to talk to him and stuffed them into the spatial portal.

"There's no other way. When I have the super power to directly eliminate them all, why should I use my wisdom?" Huo Yuhao said indifferently, kicking one of the ministers he had just knocked unconscious into the undead plane.

"Oh, Royal Brother." A lively voice rang out, clearly belonging to a spoiled princess. It was Princess Xu Tianzhen of the Sun Moon Empire, who happened to witness the fake Xu Tianran standing up and kicking someone. "Royal...Royal Brother, you can stand up now?"

Chapter 138 Kong Deming

"A medical miracle, Your Majesty!" Xu Tianzhen was as naive as his name suggested. When he saw Huo Yuhao disguised as Xu Tianran, his first thought was that his brother's leg had been healed.

"Hmm?" Huo Yuhao turned his head to look at Princess Xu Tianzhen, grabbed her, and threw her into the plane of the dead.

"..." He Caitou was at a loss for words.

Shouldn't they have been sneaking in to investigate the secrets within the Sun Moon Empire? How did things turn out like this?

"Yuhao, if we keep arresting them, Sun Moon Imperial City will become a ghost town..." He Caitou reminded him worriedly. If they really arrested them all, they would inevitably be discovered by the titled Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire. Although he knew that Huo Yuhao was very strong, if he were to face a dozen titled Douluo attacking him at the same time, even he would be unable to fight them all.

Moreover, the titled Douluo of the Sun Moon Empire are not only judged by their cultivation level; almost every titled Douluo is also a level nine Soul Master, which greatly enhances their combat power.

However, it was clear that He Caitou had underestimated Huo Yuhao's combat strength.

It's not his fault. When Huo Yuhao was fighting the Sea God's consciousness, they were all immobilized by the pressure, let alone witness Huo Yuhao's battle.

For Huo Yuhao, who was already able to fight the Sea God's consciousness to a standstill, the Sun and Moon Palace was just a low-level dungeon.

It's hard to say whether these titled Douluos can even wear him down to one life, but even if they do, he still has ninety-eight lives left to fight them.

"What are you afraid of? If you're afraid of this and that, how will you get revenge? Don't worry, I've gotten revenge before, I have experience with this." Huo Yuhao wasn't worried at all.

"Can revenge be something you master through practice?"

"Even if a Title Douluo comes, I'll still capture him. We can empty the Sun Moon Palace and take over the reins." Huo Yuhao stopped pretending this time, crossed his legs in his wheelchair, and put on an arrogant and domineering expression that the original Xu Tianran could never have.

Of course, they didn't just arrest people; they also found out that the Emperor was resting in his palace at this time.

Because of his advanced age and numerous illnesses, the Sun and Moon Emperor had a fixed period of rest and physical examination every day.

"We should be at the Emperor's palace by this turn. It hasn't changed much since I was a child." He Caitou pushed the wheelchair deeper into the palace.

Unexpectedly, I ran into an old man as soon as I turned the corner.

"Your Highness? Wait a minute..." The old man was puzzled when he saw Huo Yuhao and the other person.

"Oh no!" He Caitou certainly knew him. Kong Deming, the head of the Sun Moon Empire's Hall of Worship and the Empire's number one Soul Master, was hailed as the closest to a level ten Soul Master.

"This old man is covered in soul tools, his strength isn't bad either," Huo Yuhao secretly transmitted his thoughts.

"Damn it, Yuhao, let's find an excuse to get out of here quickly. We've run into the strongest person in the Sun Moon Empire." He Caitou was starting to think about retreating.

"The usurper emperor is in the room behind him. How could he leave now? Don't you want to kill him?" Huo Yuhao had no intention of turning back when there was only one step left.

"Of course I want to kill him, but it's impossible right now, Yuhao. It's too dangerous." He Caitou strongly objected. It didn't matter if he died, but if Huo Yuhao died, it would be a serious loss to the entire Douluo Continent.

"Didn't I tell you? If you want to do it, then do it!" Huo Yuhao laughed heartily, jumped up from his wheelchair, and a teleportation portal directly transported He Caitou to the Sun Moon Emperor's palace.

"It really is fake! Who are you, you thief?!" Kong Deming knew he was right when he saw Huo Yuhao stand up, but he still couldn't believe that a thief would dare to impersonate the crown prince and sneak into the palace.

As expected of the strongest soul master, Kong Deming activated his natal soul tool, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, with a thought. Its spatial power, no less than Huo Yuhao's spatial magic, enveloped the surroundings and covered the entire palace.

"A level nine soul tool, it's almost at the level of level ten." Huo Yuhao carefully sensed the spatial power, then smiled and said, "You want to completely fuse your martial soul with this soul tool, right?"

"You thief, you can even understand soul tools like this?" Kong Deming was taken aback, not expecting that the little thief in front of him could see that he wanted to take the path of level 10 soul tools.

"Unfortunately, you're not a true level ten yet. With your current abilities, you can't lock my spatial teleportation. Besides, I already sent the person in before you even made a move," Huo Yuhao said smugly, his pride stemming from his technological advantage.

"Send it in?!" Kong Deming took a moment to realize what Huo Yuhao was talking about, and stared wide-eyed at the palace behind him.

He didn't care about Huo Yuhao anymore and rushed into the palace.

open the door,

It was a scene that made Kong Deming's heart pound with fear.

The dragon bed, which was originally a level nine defensive and medical soul guide device, has been destroyed.

The dark-skinned young man, his arms trembling, grabbed the old and frail emperor by the neck and pulled him up.

The data images on the soul guide used to check the emperor's health disappeared completely after the last pulse.

"Your Majesty!!!" Kong Deming's eyes were bloodshot with rage. The emperor had been assassinated in his own palace by a thief who broke in. If this got out, the entire Sun Moon Empire would become a laughing stock.

With the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield pushed to its limit, dozens of soul-guided ray cannons appeared beside Kong Deming in the moonlight emanating from his martial soul, aiming at Huo Yuhao and the other person.

"Ha...haha...hahahaha!" He Caitou felt extremely comfortable and didn't care about Kong Deming's angry pressure. He threw the dead old emperor to the ground.

"See? Revenge is really satisfying, isn't it?" Huo Yuhao nodded in satisfaction as he watched this scene, and then the Mechanical Dream Ice Silkworm Driver climbed onto his waist.

After the mental storm raged, the platinum-gold masked armor attached itself to his body.

"Let me show you what the ultimate fusion of a soul tool and a martial soul looks like!" Huo Yuhao raised his hand and flung his platinum skirt, which had been transformed from moth wings. His extremely powerful mental energy dispersed Kong Deming's soul-guided rays like a flood.

The intense mental storm caused cracks to appear in the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, which was on the verge of collapse.

"Level 10?! No, it's a bit different." Kong Deming hadn't completely lost his mind. He noticed that Huo Yuhao's armor had many differences from a pure soul tool.

"As expected of the strongest Soul Master, you can see through the tricks." Huo Yuhao praised. His armor was not a pure level 10 Soul Tool in the true sense, but rather a clever combination of magic and other world powers to achieve the same effect through different means.

"Then take a look at who he is!" Taking advantage of Kong Deming's pause, Huo Yuhao pushed He Caitou forward and used his soul power to help He Caitou restore his original appearance, which had been altered by the secret technique.

As his appearance was restored, He Caitou's hidden martial spirit, the Sun Martial Spirit representing the orthodox bloodline of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, also appeared.

"Your Highness... Your Highness!" Kong Deming called out to the former Crown Prince Xu He, "You're still alive?!"

"Well, can we talk now?" Huo Yuhao adopted a posture of holding the emperor hostage to command the titled Douluo.

After all, Xu Tianran and the old emperor were both dead. In the Sun Moon Empire, which placed great importance on the legitimacy of bloodlines, He Caitou was indeed the emperor with the purest bloodline.

Chapter 139 Illness

"Oh, by the way, Xu Tianran has also been killed by us. Although I could tell that he was no longer capable of having offspring, now you have absolutely no other hope," Huo Yuhao said, pointing at He Caitou with a smile.

"What did you say?!" Kong Deming exclaimed in shock and anger.

Xu Tianran, who was originally the most suitable successor, also died, and many of his brothers were killed in his power struggles, leaving only a few incompetent good-for-nothings.

Based solely on bloodline, the Sun Moon Empire at this time had no more suitable successor than He Caitou.

"Anyway, you previously claimed that the former emperor's family died of food poisoning, right? Why not just use the same trick again? Say they got food poisoning again, and then you happened to find the lost crown prince, so you welcomed him back to the throne again?" Huo Yuhao said nonchalantly, as if changing emperors was as simple as changing clothes.

"Elder Kong, what's going on?" Inside the Sun and Moon Imperial City, the other Title Douluos were also drawn by the sounds of battle.

"Stop! Don't come any closer!" As the senior of all soul masters, the First Soul Master's words naturally carried considerable weight. As soon as Kong Deming shouted these words, the titled Douluo who had rushed over all stopped in their tracks.

At the same time, Kong Deming also turned the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield in his hand. The silver moonlight shield surrounded the palace, preventing anyone from probing the situation inside.

"Looks like there's something to talk about?" Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow, suppressing his murderous intent. "That's good, that's good. I don't want to kill a Soul Master with such talent like this, at least not right now."

"Hmph, you think you can kill me? Speak, what do you want to say? Why are Xu and the Crown Prince here?" Kong Deming sneered, eager to know the whole story.

Huo Yuhao simply let He Caitou explain it to him.

"I see. Your Highness, you have suffered. But rest assured, I will ensure you become the new Emperor of the Sun and Moon." Kong Deming said. It wasn't that he truly pitied He Caitou, but rather that he genuinely had no other choice now.

“No…this…” He Caitou wanted to refuse, but he still looked at Huo Yuhao. It was better to leave the current situation to Huo Yuhao to make a judgment.

"Wait a minute, I went through so much trouble to bring the new emperor back to you, you can't just leave me with nothing in return, can you?" Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

"What do you want?" Kong Deming knew the strength of the young man in front of him and did not want to get entangled with him.

"I want... your soul tool technology, give me all your technology." Huo Yuhao's tone was extremely greedy.

Kong Deming was taken aback at first, then laughed in exasperation.

"Greedy! You stormed the palace, killed the emperor, killed the crown prince, and now you want my technology... Wait, are you Huo Yuhao?" Kong Deming then realized that he had seen the armored boy in front of him in the newspaper.

"That's right," Huo Yuhao readily admitted.

"This old man..." Kong Deming remained silent. Huo Yuhao's technology allowed him to see the future, to see the level of soul tools, even higher than level 10.

If one could obtain Huo Yuhao's technology, it would be an irresistible temptation, almost like becoming a god, for someone who has dedicated his life to soul tools.

“I can give it to you, but you have to exchange it for the technology behind your armor,” Kong Deming said.

"Okay," Huo Yuhao agreed immediately.

Kong Deming was taken aback, not expecting Huo Yuhao to agree so readily.

Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed, and two memory-sharing links appeared for Kong Deming.

“One of these is my technical memories, which you can read directly. The other is blank. You need to store your technical memories in this one for me. Don’t try to fool me with fakes; I can tell,” Huo Yuhao said calmly.

"I would never lie about soul tool technology," Kong Deming said, displaying his pride.

Soon, the deal was struck, and both of them got the memories they wanted.

"So that's how it is. There are such mysterious magic arrays in the world. Is it magic...?" Kong Deming was overjoyed and carefully browsed through Huo Yuhao's memory sharing connection.

"Hahahaha, I've got the memories of the world's number one soul master!" Huo Yuhao immediately detonated the mental link that Kong Deming was reading. The exploded link directly polluted Kong Deming's mental power, thus corrupting his soul.
