Chapter 189: Long Xiaoyao: “brother, Give Me A Hug”
A Limit Douluo’s speed is very fast if traveling at full speed.
Even without unleashing his Martial Soul, Long Xiaoyao’s speed was a cut above that of Agility Attack Type Soul Masters at the Titled Douluo level, thanks to a Limit Douluo’s mastery of spatial rules and use of Soul Power.
Moreover, it was even more enduring than that of Agility Attack Type Soul Masters.
Many residents of the Sun Moon Empire looked up and saw a streak of black flowing light speeding towards Douluo Three Kingdoms in the sky.
Some residents used the Magic Net to capture the flowing light in the sky, then posted it on the Magic Net with eye-catching titles to attract traffic and earn Dream Coins.
Meanwhile, the Enthusiasm Members planted in the Sun Moon Empire keenly realized that it might be the Sun Moon Empire’s secret weapon.
They quickly used various Detection Soul Tools to record the energy characteristics of the black flowing light, as well as some Soul Tools modified by Huo Yuhao to analyze its energy waveform.
“Quick, hand over the data report!”
An Enthusiasm researcher wearing a white lab coat took the data report, with his Spiritual Power rapidly operating in his mind, completing the Fourier Transform conversion.
“Energy level is nine, approaching the theoretical ten.”
“According to the detectors placed in the Ming Dou Mountain Range, the energy wavelength is close to the darkness attribute.”
“So it can’t be a Soul Tool!”
“Level Ten Soul Tools don’t exist at all.”
“Nor would the Sun Moon Empire casually test-fire something like that.”
“It should be a Titled Douluo strong person, probably the legendary Limit Douluo!”
“Report the data to Enthusiasm Headquarters: A Level Ninety-Nine darkness attribute Limit Douluo is heading towards the Heaven Soul Empire.”
“Based on the flight trajectory, it is expected to arrive at Heaven Dou Plain in one hour.”
“The probability of the target being Xilu City is ten percent, Shrek Academy is eighty percent!”
The pen in this researcher’s hand wrote on the report paper at a speed that almost left afterimages, recording all the data on the paper along with various analysis results.
Then, he used the Soul Tool fax machine to transmit the experimental report to Enthusiasm Headquarters far away in Xilu City.
After members of the intelligence department saw this urgent message, they immediately took the information to the top-floor office of Enthusiasm.
Huo Yuhao was leisurely drinking cola in the office at the moment; this was the iced cola he had secretly hidden under the office desk.
All the cola at home had been confiscated by Su Tong on the grounds that it was unhealthy.
This made Huo Yuhao immediately put on a pained mask, endlessly explaining to Su Tong that cola was not junk food for Soul Masters at all.
It wouldn’t cause any health problems at all.
Su Tong refused to listen and replaced all the cola at home with expensive tea leaves, which were said to be rare items on the level of Spirit Grass.
But Huo Yuhao didn’t like tea leaves at all; compared to tea leaves, he still preferred fizzy little drinks!
Tea was fine occasionally for a pot, but drinking it every day was out of the question.
With no other choice, he could only sneakily drink cola in the office; if Su Tong found out, there would surely be another round of complaints.
Sometimes he really didn’t know if he had found an apprentice or a mom.
When the intelligence department personnel outside knocked on the office door, the wooden door made a dull sound.
Huo Yuhao put away the cola, straightened his posture, used telekinesis to open the door, and said to the intelligence personnel:
“What is it?”
The intelligence department personnel bowed respectfully to Huo Yuhao, then handed the document to him and said:
“Urgent message from Enthusiasm Members in the Sun Moon Empire!”
Huo Yuhao became interested and immediately opened the document to start reading.
With his powerful Spiritual Power realm, he quickly finished reading.
“Oh?”
“A Level Ninety-Nine darkness attribute Limit Douluo?”
“Who could it be? So hard to guess.”
A strange smile appeared on Huo Yuhao’s face as he said to the intelligence personnel beside him:
“I understand the situation.”
“No need to worry.”
“Everything as usual, continue normal work.”
The intelligence personnel bowed once more upon hearing Huo Yuhao’s words, then exited the office and closed the door behind him.
After the intelligence personnel left, Huo Yuhao opened the Magic Net, logged into the ‘Ye Ge’ account, and directly retrieved the chat record of ‘Bright Dragon God’.
As the creator of the Magic Net and the highest interpreter of the underlying protocol, retrieving chat records was a piece of cake.
As long as he wanted, he could retrieve the search records of all intelligent beings on the entire Douluo Continent.
He could even conduct twenty-four-hour uninterrupted surveillance!
However, Huo Gu Shi was kind-hearted and generally wouldn’t do such things.
Unless the other party wanted to stir up trouble or target Huo Yuhao.
“Oh.”
“I see.”
“Mu En asked Long Xiaoyao for help.”
“No wonder that old guy is so excited to see his long-lost buddy.”
“If either of them had a woman, Ye Xishui would have been a non-entity long ago.”
“My teacher whom I’ve never met, and Long Xiaoyao, both had their lives toyed with in the palm of one woman’s hand.”
“Love is a great taboo for becoming stronger!”
“If I had been born a few hundred years earlier, I might have sent you [‘Sister Yu Photo Album’].”
“By the way, what would happen if I fed Long Xiaoyao Niangni Spring?”
“Would Mu En be moved?”
A mysterious smile appeared on Huo Yuhao’s face, but he only thought about it.
Unless Long Xiaoyao came to Xilu City, he had no way to feed him Niangni Spring.
Even if feeding, it would be a special spring water mixed from other colored spring water and white restorative spring water in a 2:1 ratio.
Only changing gender, not sealing strength, after all, the opponent’s strength still had great value.
This ratio and effect had to thank every D-level personnel for their voluntary sacrifice.
Huo Yuhao placed the document in his hand under the desk; since Long Xiaoyao had no malice, he didn’t need to worry about it.
Then he took out a thick stack of technical reports from the Storage Soul Tool; these were all written by Roman on the specific technical details of Soul Spirit contracts and contract dissolution.
Huo Yuhao needed to perform calculations on these technical details to ensure no mistakes, as it concerned civilization development and could not afford errors.
Ever since Merlin came, he had casually thrown some work to that Mei Liangxin, making him, her, contribute some effort too.
Currently, the mass-produced monkey version of the Talisman to Break All Precepts had begun its first experiment.
It was expected that in the near future, this technology would be successfully perfected.
The new technology named Soul Spirit would formally appear before the world.
…………
On a hill not far outside the east gate of Shrek City.
Mu En was basking in the sun while waiting for his old friend to arrive.
His eyes kept looking towards the horizon, paying attention to the movement trajectory of every white cloud, trying to spot a black trajectory in the azure blue sky.
Soon, Mu En’s mouth curved up, revealing a joyful smile, and his body leaned slightly forward under the influence of Soul Power.
In the distant sky, a black flowing light sped towards Mu En at extreme speed.
That familiar power made nostalgia flow in Mu En’s eyes, then he released the Soul Power aura of the Bright Holy Dragon to inform Long Xiaoyao of his location.
The black flowing light paused in the air, then rushed directly towards Mu En’s direction.
The flowing light landed right in front of Mu En, immediately kicking up a thick cloud of dust; as the dust dispersed, a tall silver-haired elder appeared before Mu En.
Seeing this, Mu En directly laughed and said:
“Long time no see, old friend.”
“It’s been decades since we last met!”
Long Xiaoyao also laughed heartily and said:
“Yeah!”
“Didn’t expect you to still be alive, you rascal.”
“As expected of you!”
Mu En’s lips trembled as he chuckled:
“You haven’t died yet.”
“How could I possibly die?”
“Do you remember this place?”
“This is where I defeated you back then.”
Long Xiaoyao looked around; not far away, there were still some cracks left by dragon claws from back then.
He couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Oh?”
“So it’s this place.”
“Good, good, good.”
“Back then I was indeed slightly inferior, but if we fought again now, I wouldn’t lose.”
He said that, but Long Xiaoyao had no desire to fight Mu En right now.
They had fought enough in their youth; both sides knew each other inside out, having seen almost all their moves.
Moreover, with Mu En now in a wheelchair, Long Xiaoyao couldn’t muster any fighting spirit.
If possible, Long Xiaoyao just wanted to give Mu En a tight hug to vent these years of longing.
But he was afraid he might suddenly cry; if he cried in front of Mu En, Long Xiaoyao felt he could flee the Douluo Continent overnight!
In front of Mu En, Ye Xishui was almost completely forgotten; he couldn’t even remember that someone at home was waiting for him to return for dinner.
“Ye Xishui?” (flat tone)
“Forget it, want to take me for a drink?”
“I haven’t been to Shrek City in a long time.”
“You have to take me to try the best meat and the best wine here!”
Long Xiaoyao stroked his beard, looking at Mu En with a smile in his eyes.
Mu En pointed to Shrek City behind him and said:
“Do I not know your preferences?”
“Let’s go, I’ve already had someone reserve a table at Oscar Restaurant.”
“No getting drunk today until we’re done!”
Anticipation appeared on Long Xiaoyao’s face; delicacies were one of his few pleasures.
“I’ve long heard of Oscar Restaurant’s reputation; today I must taste it properly!”
“By the way, Old Mu, can you move around in this state?”
“Want me to push you?”
Mu En snorted, waved his finger at him, and said:
“Who are you underestimating?”
“Watch out, or I might be faster than you!”
The two walked side by side into Shrek Academy, then passed through the gates of Shrek Academy towards the restaurant.
On the streets of Shrek City, Long Xiaoyao looked around, nodding from time to time.
The streets of Shrek City were full of Soul Tool streetlights everywhere, and the surrounding merchants had also begun to extensively use Soul Tools.
The whole city had quite a cyberpunk vibe.
“Haven’t been to Shrek City in decades.”
“Development here is pretty good!”
“Soul Tools are already so common.”
“Almost catching up to Mingdu.”
Mu En became interested and said to Long Xiaoyao:
“Have you been in the Sun Moon Empire these years?”
“How is the Soul Tool development there?”
Long Xiaoyao shook his head and said:
“Well, since we parted, I’ve been wandering around the continent, and later went to live in the Sun Moon Empire.”
“The Sun Moon Empire only uses Soul Tools on a large scale in big cities.”
“After all, Soul Tools are expensive.”
Mu En keenly captured the key information from this.
“It seems the Sun Moon Empire hasn’t started the Soul Tool Revolution yet!”
“This is Shrek Academy’s opportunity!”
Because Soul Tool machine tools were only produced on Heaven Dou Plain, with Enthusiasm holding the core technology, orders from merchant associations across Douluo Three Kingdoms were backed up for three years.
The Sun Moon Empire had no chance to buy Soul Tool machine tools.
However, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen were helping research high-precision Soul Tool machine tools in the factory.
When they returned to the Sun Moon Empire, they might convince Jing Hongchen to start large-scale Soul Tool production and promote the Soul Tool Revolution.
Letting the Sun Moon Empire lag one step in starting the Soul Tool Revolution, balancing the strength of the four countries without letting any one side become too strong, was exactly Huo Yuhao’s goal.
At present, Huo Yuhao did not want large-scale war to break out on the continent.
Chaos would only create opportunities for the Holy Spirit Cult and Tang Buddha.
The Asura God divine position was directly linked to slaughter.
According to Otto, the Holy Spirit Cult’s holy god had a ninety percent similarity to the Asura God.
So Huo Yuhao chose to balance strength, then let Otto and the others complete infiltration and control of these empires to ensure the continental situation wouldn’t explode.
Huo Yuhao had one hundred percent trust in Otto’s abilities; for these Douluo Continent people, he was a dimensional strike in political intrigue!
Controlling the toilet was much safer than blowing it up.
