Chapter 166: Huo Yuhao: “clown, What Are You Stirring Up?”
Adam still maintained his smile, his golden eyes remaining clear. For Huo Yuhao’s teasing, he just nodded slightly.
“Actually, I also quite favor Xia Die.
As one of the first batch of imaginary characters to independently realize his true origins, Adam took good care of Amon and Xia Die, who were from the same period as him.
He saw himself as the elder brother, Amon as the mischievous bear little brother, and Xia Die as the obedient little sister.
This was one of Adam’s few instances of humanity, and also one of the rare emotional existences that could influence his judgment.
Xia Die’s first soul ring and the second soul ring from a while ago were both personally selected and hunted by Adam.
This ensured that the soul rings would not pollute Xia Die’s Martial Soul Origin, causing bloodline loss of control.
Huo Yuhao shrugged his shoulders, pointed his finger at the windowsill, and said:
“That kid Amon really knows how to pick tough problems, specifically choosing rare soul beasts. There are only a few Fate Type Soul Beasts on the entire Continent.”
“Let him try his luck in the Sun Moon Empire’s Demon Forest. The Evil Eye there is a Spirit type soul beast.”
“This type of soul beast is prone to mutation; who knows, he might find a Fate Type Soul Beast.”
“The Ming Dou Mountain Range is also a good choice; there are many mutant soul beasts there too, though no one knows the exact reason.”
“If he’s lucky enough, he might even encounter a Kirin.”
Huo Yuhao used telekinesis to pull out a piece of intelligence from the drawer under the nearby table, originating from Tianhai City in the Sun Moon Empire.
Adam took the intelligence and saw the title boldly written on it:
[Sighting Report and Investigation on the Water Kirin.]
“Three fishermen sighted a suspected Water Kirin soul beast individual south of Tianhai City.”
“After Enthusiasm Action Team received the news, they immediately headed to the sighting location using diving soul tools.”
“On April 1st, the action team found five blue scales left by an unknown soul beast, along with a few drops of blood.”
“Samples have been sent back to Enthusiasm Headquarters for analysis.”
“Various tracking soul tools and investigation soul tools were used to probe the nearby sea area…”
“On May 8th, the action team discovered a small island about three hundred kilometers south of Tianhai City.”
“In the canyon at the core of the island, a high-altitude investigation soul tool spotted the Water Kirin.”
“Approximately thirty thousand years of cultivation, temperament inconsistent with rumors, launched a fierce attack on the investigation soul tool.”
“High-altitude soul tool damaged, action team did not dare to intrude rashly.”
“On May 12th, the island was probed again; this time no trace of the Water Kirin was found. Continuous monitoring for a month confirmed the Water Kirin had moved.”
“…”
After putting away the report, Adam nodded to Huo Yuhao and said in a voice without the slightest ripple:
“Thank you.”
“Amon will be very happy with this news.”
“He has long desired a Fate Type Soul Beast.”
“Although the Water Kirin’s attribute doesn’t match, the other conditions all meet the requirements.”
Huo Yuhao said indifferently:
“No problem. The Time Worm Martial Soul is similar to the Soft Bone Rabbit; attribute isn’t important.”
“Let him decide which path to take.”
After chatting with Adam for a while, Huo Yuhao said to him:
“I’m going to talk with Dragon God Douluo. You continue monitoring the commotion around Xilu City. Contact me directly if anything happens.”
Adam nodded slightly, his figure gradually merging into the air.
Huo Yuhao glanced toward the Green Soil direction, then directly activated Kamui. The surrounding space began to twist, sucking him into Kamui Space.
…
Mu En wheeled his wheelchair to the Green Soil area, slightly bent down, and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground.
He gently rubbed the soil between his fingers and couldn’t help but sigh:
“What good soil.”
“No wonder this place can be the granary of Heaven Dou Plain.”
“Such rich vitality.”
Mu En gently put the soil back on the ground and wheeled around beside the Green Soil.
His Limit Douluo-level spiritual power spread out, directly enveloping the entire Green Soil area, probing bit by bit into what exactly was inside the soil.
After wandering around the Green Soil perimeter for a while, Mu En shook his head regretfully.
“Nothing there.”
“Looks like Di Tian took the thing away.”
“Too bad.”
Disappointment showed on Mu En’s aged face. He was originally supposed to arrive in Xilu City yesterday.
But just a short distance from Xilu City, he suddenly sensed an extremely high-level power surging into the sky from the Green Soil area.
Mu En’s eyes widened at the time. As a Limit Douluo and Sea God Pavilion Master, he knew exactly what that power was—it was the legendary divine power!
Unfortunately, just as he planned to teleport there directly through space teleportation, he saw Di Tian wildly flailing his thousand-meter dragon body in the air, stirring the winds and clouds. The extreme darkness blotted out all light from the heavens and earth.
Mu En thought for a long time and decided to give up going there; he didn’t want to clash with Di Tian at this time.
Fighting Di Tian here in Xilu City would mean certain death for him.
He was absolutely certain of this. His specialty, the Light element, was completely countered by Di Tian’s Extreme Darkness.
Even his Bright Holy Dragon bloodline was suppressed by the Golden Eye Black Dragon King.
Not to mention that he was now crippled, his body nearly in the grave, unable to fully exert his Limit Douluo strength.
He could only rely on burning his vitality to return to his peak.
If it were at Shrek Academy, Mu En was confident he could contend against Di Tian with the Golden Ancient Tree, at least not falling into a disadvantage.
“Golden Ancient Tree, what secrets are you hiding exactly?”
“Teacher, why did you stop me from investigating?”
Mu En looked up at the blue sky; the white clouds resembled his teacher’s face, and he lost himself in thought.
“Squeak~”
A ground-drilling rat passed by the wheelchair, the sound of it stepping on branches pulling Mu En’s thoughts back. He looked at the Green Soil before him, knowing there was nothing here anymore.
Di Tian must have taken the thing to Star Dou Great Forest; any ambition at this point could pretty much be extinguished.
No one on the entire Continent could go toe-to-toe with Di Tian in Star Dou Great Forest, unless they were tired of living.
He was just about to turn away when a young voice came from beside him.
“Elder, why not stay here a bit longer.”
“On the entire Continent, aside from Lake of Life, I’m confident there’s no other place to find Green Soil.”
Hearing this voice, Mu En turned back with interest and saw a young man wearing a black trench coat. He immediately recognized the other’s identity.
“Oh, so it’s Spirit Ice Douluo.”
“This Green Soil in Xilu City is indeed exceptional.”
“Such thick vitality; just staying here a moment makes my body feel warm and cozy.”
Huo Yuhao smiled as he looked at this elderly Limit Douluo, who was also his teacher in the original work.
He slightly raised his finger, and a pile of fire rose from the ground. Huo Yuhao took out several fish from his storage soul tool and said to Mu En:
“As long as Dragon God Your Excellency likes it here.”
“Interested in trying my grilled fish?”
Mu En looked at the fire in front of him, appreciation in his eyes. This young man’s control over elements was extremely skilled.
As a veteran Limit Douluo, he could tell at a glance the wonder of that fire pile: all the heat perfectly contained in the core, with the outer flames at normal temperature.
“This skill is impressive. Spirit Ice Douluo, huh? Can’t judge solely by the title.”
“I wonder when that child Ma Xiaotao will learn this.”
“This Spirit Ice Douluo has very vigorous vitality; probably only in his thirties.”
“Such enviable youth.”
“Xilu City truly has something special! Talents emerging in droves!”
“Should find a way to send Bei Bei, Le Xuan, and the others here to absorb some luck.”
Mu En thought to himself inwardly.
Then, he looked at Huo Yuhao warmly and said:
“Hahaha.”
“Spirit Ice Douluo actually knows me.”
“Even some young teachers at Shrek Academy don’t know of my existence.”
“Since you’ve said so, what more is there to say? Let me taste Spirit Ice Douluo’s handiwork.”
Huo Yuhao squatted beside Mu En, skewered the fish, placed it over the fire to grill, and occasionally used spiritual power to control the temperature of every inch of flame, ensuring perfect grilled fish.
Fat dripped onto the wood under the flames’ roasting, the sizzling sounds rising and falling like musical beats.
“Dragon God Douluo and Dragon Emperor Douluo were once the Black and White Twin Saints Dragon of the Douluo Continent.”
“How could I not know?”
Mu En nodded slightly, smelling the aroma of the grilled fish, his thoughts slightly wandering.
“As long as someone remembers, Long Xiaoyao and I didn’t live in vain.”
“Spirit Ice Douluo came this time probably to surveil me, right?”
“Hahaha! No need to worry; I’m just an old geezer now, won’t cause you any trouble.”
“Just came here to wander around casually.”
“Didn’t expect to witness yesterday’s commotion by accident.”
“Wanted to see if anything was left behind.”
“But now it seems it was taken by Di Tian.”
Mu En laughed; he didn’t think there was anything wrong with Huo Yuhao’s actions.
A Limit Douluo appearing on his turf, the master should naturally come to investigate.
As for the thing that appeared on this land yesterday, Mu En had no suspicion it was in Huo Yuhao’s hands.
A mere Super Douluo couldn’t possibly snatch something from Di Tian.
Hearing Mu En’s words, Huo Yuhao realized Di Tian had seemingly taken the blame for him, which was good news.
The thing left by Space Dragon King was enough to drive the entire Continent mad; pinning it on Di Tian wasn’t bad.
Anyway, Di Tian was black all over; one more black pot wouldn’t matter.
At worst, have Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm slightly speed up Di Tian’s Magic Net as repayment.
“Yeah, Di Tian suddenly came yesterday and startled me.”
“Thought Star Dou Great Forest was launching a beast tide.”
Huo Yuhao handed the grilled fish to Mu En. Mu En took it without minding the heat and bit into the fish meat, starting to chew.
Mu En’s eyes lit up, gave Huo Yuhao a thumbs up, and said:
“Great craftsmanship!”
“So fragrant!”
“No need to worry about beast tides. If Di Tian really wanted to launch a beast tide assault on Heaven Dou Plain, Shrek Academy would become the first line of defense, providing shelter for the entire Continent.”
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly, said nothing more, and handed Mu En another grilled fish.
As he withdrew his hand, both felt a barbaric aura.
Mu En and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance; Huo Yuhao said helplessly:
“Looks like Dragon God Your Excellency sensed it too. I can’t stay long. Since an unwelcome guest has arrived, as the master, I should make an appearance.”
Mu En nodded and said:
“Mm.”
“Looks like people from Haotian Sect; that arrogant and domineering temperament runs true to form.”
“If you need, call me.”
“I’m confident I still have some face.”
Huo Yuhao waved his hand confidently and said:
“Just a level 91 Titled Douluo.”
Mu En watched Huo Yuhao’s figure speed toward that barbaric aura, a hint of displeasure in his gaze.
“Haotian Sect’s reach is getting too long!”
“This is Heaven Dou Plain after all, only dozens of kilometers from Shrek. Causing trouble here is too disrespectful to Shrek!”
“Time to warn some forces.”
“Since I ate your grilled fish, I can’t do nothing in return.”
“Those kids like Bai E also came from here.”
“When I get back, have Yan Shaozhe issue an announcement in Sea God Pavilion’s name: the thing is in Di Tian’s hands; if they want it, go find Di Tian.”
Mu En wheeled his wheelchair toward Xilu City. His purpose this time was to investigate the past of those kids like Bai E.
Once no issues, he’d take him as a disciple upon return; Mu En didn’t want to wait any longer.
This time, he’d learn from past mistakes, carefully guide Bai E, and absolutely not let him go astray again!
If Extreme Light turned out like Yan Shaozhe, he Mu En would die with eyes wide open!
Meanwhile, on the west side of Xilu City, a burly man holding a large hammer was recklessly releasing his aura.
Two yellow, two purple, five black—nine soul rings orbiting his body.
“Xilu City’s City Lord, come out!”
“Do I have to invite you myself?!”
Around this Titled Douluo from Haotian Sect, the Root Special Action Team First Group lay in wait in the shadows.
A total of seven people, highest cultivation at Soul Saint level.
The seven had their auras shielded by Adam’s spiritual power, without exposing their existence.
“Old Zhang, what are the odds?”
A young man wearing a hood replied on the Magic Net:
“That big dummy is completely off guard. Once the minister’s one hundred thousand dream coins hit the account! Back hidden energy activates! I can pull him into the mirror anytime.”
“What about you all?”
A woman in black clothes said on the Magic Net:
“Curse ready anytime.”
“Don’t these assault type soul masters have any brains?”
“Think this is a Fighting Arena?”
“Who would fight him head-on in the wild?”
Another person about the size of a child said on the Magic Net:
“Hehehe, grafted doll ready.”
“Probably some big sect’s spoiled brat who’s never seen the world’s cruelty.”
“Don’t rush! I’m already itching to hear this tough guy’s screams!”
“Once your curse takes effect, give me his blood, and I’ll instantly sever the hand holding the hammer.”
The team’s captain was a petite woman; she said with a dark face:
“Read less novels. Minister gave orders; we just keep eyes on him.”
“This time the boss will handle it personally, to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.”
The short man replied excitedly on the Magic Net:
“Gah! Boss is personally making a move?!”
“What an honor!”
“So envious of that tough guy!”
Tang Feng didn’t know seven Root elites were already hidden behind him, eager to empty his basket.
At this moment, he slammed his Haotian Hammer forcefully into the ground, the shock kicking up dust that billowed around, even obscuring his own eyes.
“Looks like you want me to smash this city!”
“I have questions; hurry up and come out!”
This left the surrounding Root members somewhat speechless; the opponent clearly hadn’t been beaten down by society, full of flaws from head to toe.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao arrived above Tang Feng amid a spatial vortex. Spiritual Endowment soul skill activated, surrounding wind elements forming a platform for Huo Yuhao to stand on.
Spiritual Eye Kaleidoscope already open.
In Huo Yuhao’s pupils burned cyan-white stars, his face hostile as he looked down at Tang Feng and said:
“Clown, what are you stirring up?”
“So eager to die?”
