Chapter 107: Pitiful Nan Qiuqiu
“Black Stockings?”
Huo Yuhao slapped his forehead. These kids really knew how to pick the key points.
They surprisingly couldn’t tell that he was just joking earlier. If the two of them really wore black stockings and went to Earth Dragon Gate to rob Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow.
This Huo Qiang alias would probably end right there.
Huo Yuhao considered himself quite thick-skinned, but this was like Sun Wukong becoming Stable Boy, something people could nag about for a lifetime.
“Disciple! The idea is novel, but don’t think about it next time.”
“I have a mask here. Just wear it.”
After speaking, Huo Yuhao took out a mask identical to Obito’s from his Storage Soul Tool. He had made a lot of these in Xilu City recently, just in case.
Then he handed the mask to Su Tong, letting her put it on herself. Su Tong examined the mask for a bit, smoothed her silky black waist-length hair, and after some effort, finally fitted the mask onto her face.
Huo Yuhao saw her like this and found her much more pleasing to the eye.
Whether she wore the mask or not didn’t really matter, since she was just an accessory. He would be the one actually doing the work.
He couldn’t let her deal with so many Earth Dragon Gate disciples, that would be a guaranteed death!
He had it much easier, directly using the Faceless Mask to transform into a Spiral Mask.
Then he walked out of the living room into the courtyard of the courtyard house, glanced at the sky. It had already been late when the two of them returned.
After a long conversation, it was now deep into the night.
The moon was very cooperative today, its face covered by dark clouds, the bright moonlight completely blocked by the thick cloud layer.
Occasionally, a few snowflakes drifted down from the sky onto Huo Yuhao’s Spiral Mask, melting into snow water from his body heat.
“Looks like the weather is nice today. Even the heavens are giving face.”
“Since it’s like this, brothers, time to take action.”
“Su Tong, let’s go!”
Hearing the call, Su Tong slowly walked to Huo Yuhao’s side, tilted her head and said:
“Really no need for black stockings?”
Only a “Peng~” sound was heard as Su Tong gently covered her head, her eyes under the mask looking at him innocently.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his fist and looked at the night, saying:
“Be normal! We’re setting off.”
“Kamui!”
As Huo Yuhao’s voice echoed in the courtyard house, a spatial vortex was released centered on his right eye.
This was Su Tong’s first time experiencing a Space Teleportation-type Soul Skill. A slight tearing sensation came over her whole body, but her Spiritual Power did not issue any alarm.
She slightly extended her arm and personally witnessed her arm twisting, then disappearing into the spatial vortex.
Soon the twisting reached her eyes, the surrounding light vanished due to Spatial Distortion, and everything before her turned pitch black.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already in a strange space.
The surroundings were filled with a massive cube made of unknown rock. The edges of this space were a dense darkness, and no one knew what lay beyond the boundary.
Su Tong had seen Space-type Soul Skills before, even fought Space Attribute Soul Masters in the Fighting Arena.
Space-type Soul Skills were mostly bizarre and dangerous, but she had never seen a Soul Skill like her teacher’s that could connect to such a large alternate space.
Huo Yuhao patted Su Tong’s shoulder, telling her not to get distracted.
“You’re the first human to enter here alive.”
“Focus your mind. It might be a bit dizzying next.”
Their figures began to fade gradually in this space, while in an unmanned alley near Earth Dragon Gate north of Dragon City, a spatial vortex suddenly appeared and spat out the two people.
Su Tong felt her head a bit swollen and gently shook it. This was normal for a first-time Kamui Teleportation experience.
“Earth Dragon Gate is not far.”
“I’ll investigate the situation first.”
As soon as he spoke, the first Soul Skill of Spiritual Eye, Spiritual Detection, instantly unfolded. The entire Earth Dragon Gate was like a naked little girl in his eyes, with no secrets at all.
Spiritual Detection directly locked onto a well in Earth Dragon Gate’s backyard, and Spiritual Power continued to probe deeper.
It didn’t take long to find a strange cave filled with gorgeous ice-blue metal, which was the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal that interested Huo Yuhao so much.
This metal naturally possessed Vitality and spirituality. In the Dragon King Legend Era, this metal could be considered innate Soul Forging in some sense.
Because of its spirituality, only Extreme Ice Attribute Soul Masters could easily mine it.
Otherwise, even a Limit Douluo couldn’t mine much, because that cave was constantly filled with Extreme Ice Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, with extremely low temperatures!
Huo Yuhao glanced at Su Tong beside him. Without obtaining Ice Empress, he really couldn’t handle this metal.
Fortunately, Su Tong was Extreme Ice, so mining it would be effortless.
Then, Spiritual Power continued deeper, finding a cold spring Spring Eye under the well.
Huo Yuhao’s Spiritual Power surprisingly couldn’t probe further! Like an explorer trapped in quicksand, unable to move.
This cold spring’s Extreme Ice Heaven and Earth Origin Energy was so dense it had materialized, blocking Spiritual Power!
Huo Yuhao withdrew his Spiritual Power. If it couldn’t pass, so be it.
Finding the location was enough. Huo Yuhao had plenty of ways to enter that cold spring.
“Tian Meng Ge, your Silkworm Cocoon can resist the Extreme Ice Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, right?”
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm confidently patted its chest and said: “Don’t worry!”
“My Silkworm Cocoon can directly hard control even Ice Empress.”
“Just some Ice Extreme Divine Crystals. Back in the Extreme North underground, bro saw who knows how many.”
“With the Silkworm Cocoon, this Extreme Ice Heaven and Earth Origin Energy absolutely can’t erode your body!”
With Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm’s guarantee, Huo Yuhao looked at Su Tong and said:
“Next, taking you to Earth Dragon Gate’s backyard. Get ready!”
“Kamui!”
…………
Nan Qiuqiu trained late at the sect today, continuously practicing to master the Power of Oblivion, the most powerful ability of Earth Dragon Gate’s inherited Martial Soul, Rouge Dragon.
It was a subordinate of Destruction Attribute, with extremely impressive power. At the same level, Soul Masters with Rouge Dragon Martial Soul had no fear of pure Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul Soul Masters.
Both sides had wins and losses.
“So tiring. Let’s walk in the backyard.”
Nan Qiuqiu stretched her waist, planning to walk in the backyard to relax her tense muscles.
“Sigh, Mom won’t let me join Advanced Soul Master Academy. Otherwise, I could participate in next year’s Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.”
“Not sure if there’ll be another chance later.”
Nan Qiuqiu muttered complaints while circling around their family’s well.
This well was considered an Earth Dragon Gate secret place, but successive Sect Leaders never took it seriously because it was too cold!
Completely unsuitable for Dragon Type Martial Soul cultivation, so the well was neglected year-round, with many tiles and stones fallen off.
“What’s the point of this well anyway?”
“What were the ancestors thinking? Treating an Ice Attribute secret place as Earth Dragon Gate’s treasure.”
“Ice and dragons don’t match at all, right?”
Nan Qiuqiu kept muttering, completely unaware that two mysterious masked people had stepped out from a spatial vortex behind her.
Huo Yuhao and Su Tong felt a bit awkward. They had accidentally heard all of her muttering.
Nan Qiuqiu was, after all, the top of Earth Dragon Gate’s younger generation, the future first seat of Earth Dragon Gate.
Her perception wasn’t weak. Sensing something off behind her, she abruptly turned back and shouted sternly:
“Who?!”
Only Mother and herself could enter Earth Dragon Gate’s secret place. At this hour, besides intruders, Nan Qiuqiu couldn’t think of anyone else who would come here.
Sure enough, she saw two mysterious masked people. Battle intent flared in her eyes as she prepared to unleash her Martial Soul and fight these intruders for three hundred rounds.
“Kid, why aren’t you sleeping so late? Running around for what?”
Huo Yuhao was too lazy to mess with her and directly released an Illusion Technique on her through Spiritual Eye.
A simple maze Illusion Technique lulled Nan Qiuqiu to sleep. She fell straight to the ground, her occiput heavily smacking the stone slab, letting out a muffled grunt.
It looked pretty painful, but Huo Yuhao wouldn’t worry about whether she might get a concussion.
She was an Assault Type Soul Master after all; her physique was no worse than an athlete’s.
Huo Yuhao had already identified the girl before him. After all, only a few people were qualified to enter Earth Dragon Gate’s secret place; no need to guess.
As he stepped over Nan Qiuqiu’s body, he even glanced at her sleeping face.
“Youth is great, falls asleep just like that!”
Su Tong closely followed behind Huo Yuhao. Seeing Nan Qiuqiu stiff on the ground, she felt a bit reluctant.
She gently picked her up and moved her to a distant lawn.
Her blue eyes slightly lit up, using Extreme Ice to bind the other’s hands and feet, and tore a piece from the skirt hem to cover her mouth, preventing her from shouting when she woke up.
She apparently hadn’t considered at all that being bound by Extreme Ice all night would mean suffering when the other woke up during the day.
Then she took small steps to Huo Yuhao’s side, looked at the well before them and said:
“Teacher, is this the place?”
Huo Yuhao nodded and said to her:
“We’re preparing to enter. Cover your body with Extreme Ice Soul Power; it’s very cold below.”
After speaking, Huo Yuhao did a standard diver’s entry pose and precisely leaped into the well.
Unfortunately, he became like the Filipino dynamite fishing team, splashing water that flew onto Su Tong’s mask.
