Chapter 102: Xiao Hongchen: “xilu City, Huh? Wonder If There Are Any Strong Enemies.”
Dragon City is the largest city in the north of the Heaven Soul Empire, bordering the Extreme North, thus rich in Soul Beast Resources, attracting countless Soul Masters to gather here.
According to the economic development rules on the Douluo Continent side, wherever Soul Masters gather, the economy will absolutely not be weak.
Soul Masters and Soul Tools are the core around which the development of this world revolves.
Moreover, there are the Earth Dragon Gate and Heaven Dragon Gate stationed here, with the Earth Dragon Gate located north of the city, inheriting the Martial Soul Rouge Dragon, the main Martial Soul within the sect being Earth Dragon, and the strongest person Nan Shui Shui having the strength of a Soul Douluo.
Heaven Dragon Gate is located south of the city, inheriting the Martial Soul Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, with the strongest person Old Heaven Dragon having the strength of a Titled Douluo, though whether he has reached Super Douluo remains a question.
Huo Yuhao arrived at this city covered in ice and snow, passed a simple inspection, and entered the city through the Douluo-style square city walls.
Possibly due to the dense crowds and the city walls blocking, it was considerably warmer inside the city than outside.
However, the temperature was still minus twenty or thirty degrees; no matter how you look at it, such low temperatures did not seem like a place for humans to survive, yet because of the Soul Beast Resources, this place had established the number one city in the northern border.
Walking on the main road paved with Warm Fire Stones, Huo Yuhao exhaled a puff of white mist, involuntarily pulling at the Black Trench Coat transformed from the Silkworm Cocoon; in this freezing cold land, only this thing could bring him warmth.
The Warm Fire Stones on the ground sounded like they had a heating function, but they were actually just to prevent the ground from icing over, with actual heating effect not as good as lighting a fire.
On the street, Huo Yuhao spread out his Spiritual Power, constantly investigating the Spiritual Power levels of the people around him.
Once he detected anything unusual, he had the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm mark a Spiritual Imprint on the other party, then conduct a detailed investigation that night through Kamui.
There were quite a few Soul Masters here, and it was also very easy to distinguish whether the other party was a Soul Master.
As long as the other party dared to wear Stockings and expose their thighs in this kind of weather, they were definitely a Soul Master.
Moreover, the less they wore, the stronger their strength!
Huo Yuhao headed all the way toward the Earth Dragon Gate north of the city, what puzzled him was that although he had spread his Spiritual Power wide enough, he still could not find any Spiritual Power reactions at the Titled Douluo level; the highest here was only Soul Douluo.
“They wouldn’t have Mental Shielding Soul Tools too, would they?”
“This cautious?”
After thinking it over, the only possibility was Mental Shielding Soul Tools; with his current Spirit Abyss Realm Spiritual Power, he really had no way to instantly detect mental shielding.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could, though; it was High-level Spirit Domain Realm, and the mental shielding Soul Tools of this era could not block it at all.
“Tian Meng Ge, you take over the Spiritual Detection; once you find a suspicious target, directly mark them with a Spiritual Imprint.”
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao’s words, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm split off part of its computing power to take over the Spiritual Detection, then carefully probed every Dragon City resident.
Although it did not discover that Level Nine Soul Engineer, it did find other interesting things.
“Huh?”
“Yu Hao, there seems to be something underground directly to your north.”
“It’s a cave, very cold, somewhat familiar.”
“Ah, bro’s brain! That thing is a Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow cave!”
“Good grief, this place actually has such a treasure!”
“Yu Hao, we cannot miss this Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow!”
“Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow is the absolute supreme Ice Attribute treasure, bar none!”
“To put it bluntly, if the Ice Empress and Snow Empress knew there was Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow here, those two would definitely launch a beast tide to come seize it!”
“Because this Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow can absolutely help those two pass their Great Tribulation!”
Hearing the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm’s ecstatic voice in his Sea of Consciousness, Huo Yuhao looked toward the north, where the Earth Dragon Gate was located.
What the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm mentioned was exactly that Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow cave from the original work.
However, Huo Yuhao did indeed plan to take the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow and Ice Extreme Divine Crystal beneath the Earth Dragon Gate.
For Ice Attribute Soul Masters, Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow was absolutely a Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the level of an Immortal Herb; just hearing about it triggered Huo Yuhao’s collecting habit.
The Ice Extreme Divine Crystal came with its own Vitality, an extremely special kind of Rare Metal, with great research value.
Huo Yuhao soothed the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm’s excited heart and softly said:
“Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow doesn’t have legs; it can’t run away.”
“But it’s not good to act in broad daylight; we have no grudge against the Earth Dragon Gate, it’s not good to kill their whole family, so let’s quietly do it at night.”
During the day, it was still too eye-catching; if they caused a commotion, the Heaven Dragon Gate and Earth Dragon Gate had a good relationship, and Old Heaven Dragon would definitely come to help.
If it came to fighting then, it would be hard to end; Huo Yuhao did not want to solo a Titled Douluo, a Soul Douluo, and numerous Soul Masters by himself.
Moreover, the commotion from the battle would very likely scare away that Level Nine Soul Engineer; if the other party did not even go back to their base and fled overnight to the Sun Moon Empire with the Snow Empress, that would be a huge loss.
If they missed this chance, the next time they wanted to intercept the Snow Empress, they would have to night raid Mingde Hall.
One person and one silkworm searched all the way until afternoon without finding the other’s hiding place, but Tian Meng did detect the existence of high-level Soul Tools through Spiritual Power.
The changes in Heaven and Earth Origin Energy caused by that complex Core Formation Array could not escape the detection of high-level Spirit Domain Realm Spiritual Power.
Unfortunately, the other party might still have a Level 9 Shielding Soul Tool in hand, along with several Level Seven or even Level Eight interfering Soul Tools.
With these Soul Tools combined, even the two of them could not find exactly where the other party was for the time being.
Huo Yuhao really wanted to catch him and slap him hard a few times to ask why he carried so many high-level concealment Soul Tools when going out.
As hard to catch as a rat in the sewer.
But it could be confirmed that the other party had absolutely not left Dragon City; this level of caution suggested they were not lightly injured.
Next, as long as the two of them kept their Spiritual Power locked on Dragon City, the other party carrying heavy treasures would definitely be eager to leave Dragon City.
Maintaining so many high-level Soul Tools would consume quite a bit of Soul Power, and in this era before Sealed Milk Bottles were born, ordinary Milk Bottles could not sustain Soul Tool operation for long.
The other party had left in a hurry, leaving a large number of ordinary Milk Bottles at that base in the Lake of Death; the high-level Soul Tools they had now were probably being maintained with their own Soul Power.
As soon as the other party revealed even a hint of aura, Huo Yuhao and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could instantly lock on and give them an Amaterasu to send warmth.
This Level Nine Soul Engineer currently did not know that a bloodhound had its eyes on him.
Unless Tang Buddha cast a curse, there was no reason the other party could leak not a single trace of aura.
Huo Yuhao’s stomach was getting a bit hungry; Soul Power and Spiritual Power were fine for everything else, but they could not completely replace the energy Food provided to the human body.
People in this world, no matter how powerful their cultivation, always had to eat Food; they could not achieve the fasting of cultivation immortal systems.
“You love me, I love you…”
On a certain street, an extremely familiar music melody reached Huo Yuhao’s ears.
Even the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm widened its eyes and said:
“Snow King Ice City has opened here too?!”
“This expansion speed is a bit too fast!”
Huo Yuhao’s eye twitched as he looked at the snowman sign pasted above the shop door, which he had transported from his previous life.
There was also a recording Soul Tool looping the music that was probably recorded by Meng Hongchen.
At the shop entrance was a sign of Xiao Hongchen holding Milk Tea with a strained smile, giving a thumbs up.
To make him show that expression, it seemed Jing Hongchen’s Soul Tools were indeed good at education.
Huo Yuhao now directly showed an old man looking at his phone on the subway expression.
“No way? In the Heaven Soul Empire, displaying signs of geniuses from the Sun Moon Empire side, and no one cares?!”
“Too lax!”
Then Huo Yuhao thought about how Xiao Hongchen’s sign might have spread throughout the entire world, and the corners of his mouth twitched harder than an AK.
“Hold it in, hold it in some more, but how can such a funny thing be held back!”
Huo Yuhao still couldn’t help laughing; there was no way around it, Xiao Hongchen’s expression was too strained, and he didn’t know what expression the other party would have seeing this sign himself.
“Cough~!”
At the Snow King Headquarters in Mingdu of the Sun Moon Empire, a boy with white hair and blue-green heterochromatic pupils was drinking Milk Tea when he suddenly coughed.
Nearby, a girl very similar to the boy, with a side ponytail and blue eyes, tilted her head and said to her brother:
“Xiao, what’s wrong with you?”
“I told you to cut back on the drugs; outsiders are saying your head is pointy now.”
“Also, drink up quick; we still have to go to Dongyang City soon for promotion.”
Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen couldn’t help gripping the Milk Tea cup in his hand, gnashing his teeth and saying:
“Damn it, I, the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire, now reduced to performing like an actor!”
“Too bullying!”
Meng Hongchen smiled helplessly and said:
“Don’t want to do it? Sure.”
“You go tell Grandfather.”
“Kenlaishi and Snow King Ice City are his darlings now; if you go, you’ll probably eat a few Soul Tool Shells.”
“Plus, most of the money you use to buy Medicinal Herbs now comes from Snow King Ice City earnings.”
Thinking of his grandfather’s amiable Soul Tool Shells, Xiao Hongchen had no choice but to extinguish his rage; under someone else’s roof, he had to bow his head.
“Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. In the future, I’ll make that old coot wear a Snow King Skin Suit and sing himself!”
He downed the entire cup of Milk Tea in one go, stood up, and said to Meng Hongchen:
“Alright, let’s head to Dongyang City now; after the promotion, I still need to hurry back to cultivation.”
“In next year’s Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, I will personally defeat Shrek Academy.”
Meng Hongchen also walked to the door and said to Xiao Hongchen:
“Save it; after the promotion, Grandfather says he’s sending us to Xilu City in the Heaven Soul Empire.”
“To have a good exchange with Enthusiasm.”
“The other side’s boss has already paved the way; we can go anytime.”
“Right, I heard Shrek City is right next to Xilu City; we can go take a look there with Enthusiasm’s accompaniment.”
Hearing this, Xiao Hongchen got interested and said to his sister:
“Xilu City?”
“Enthusiasm Headquarters…”
“Interesting.”
“I wonder if there are any strong enemies there that can give me, Xiao Hongchen, a surprise?”
“If not, we’ll go check out Shrek City.”
“I want to see what this so-called number one city of the Douluo Three Kingdoms really looks like.”
Meng Hongchen watched her brother start going crazy again, sighed, then shook her head.
She was long used to Xiao Hongchen like this.
From her observations, whenever Xiao Hongchen got cocky, he would definitely run into a strong person who would teach him a harsh lesson.
She didn’t know how many times this pattern had happened, but Xiao Hongchen refused to mend his ways.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen are based on the comic images; the anime is eye-searing, still prefer garlic bird. This chapter is three thousand words; Huo Yuhao’s disciple is almost here.
