It was not enough to just simulate the aura. Huo Yuhao's calmness also prevented Jing Hongchen from arousing any suspicion.
"That human seems a little shaken. Will he really hand over the Snow Girl like this?" Hyotei's voice sounded a little happy.
Huo Yuhao said rationally: “Don’t think about achieving success overnight. Plant a seed in his heart first. Even if he really changes his mind, he may not give us the embryo.”
"Take it easy."
Bingdi's tone was a little lost: "Okay."
Tian Meng's comforting voice came out: "Bingbing, don't be sad, we will definitely be able to rescue Xue Di."
"Ah."
Huo Yuhao suddenly asked, "Tian Meng, have you completed the task I just asked you to do?"
"Well...it's done..."
Tian Meng was lying on the snow in the sea of spirit, holding a pen in his hand, writing and drawing something on a piece of white paper that had been frozen into a writing board.
If you look carefully at the contents on the white paper, you will find that it is exactly the same as the secret document about Plan No. 1 on Jing Hongchen's desk.
Tian Meng looked at the white paper with a blank face, his feet flopping on the snow.
"But what exactly is written on it? Apart from this picture, I don't recognize any of these words..."
Huo Yuhao said: “Not only you don’t recognize it, I don’t recognize it either. The text on it must have been encrypted.”
"Then why did you ask me to copy it down..."
“But this picture is different.”
Huo Yuhao examined the only thumbnail sketch on the paper, which was a device in the shape of a human.
He did not break into the office midway, but hid in the office from the beginning using a simulation, waiting for Jing Hongchen to come. While waiting, he used mental detection to peek at some of Jing Hongchen's documents.
Many documents are related to the approval and management of various departments of Mingdetang. Although they are cumbersome and boring and have no important significance, through these data, we can roughly infer the operating status of Mingdetang.
Mingdetang is really rich...
The more Huo Yuhao looked at it, the more he felt that Mingdetang was powerful, not only in terms of physical strength, but also in terms of financial and material resources.
The sale of advanced soul guides is one of Mingdetang's main sources of income, and these generous revenues in turn continuously support the research and development of new soul guides, forming a healthy and virtuous circle.
The autonomous income of a single scientific research institution can actually compete with Xingluo’s tax revenue. What is the basis for Xingluo to catch up with others?
Just as Huo Yuhao was sighing, a top-secret document caught his attention.
This file is different from other files. It is saved in a special soul guide folder. The level of this folder is surprisingly not low, which isolates it from his spiritual detection.
Huo Yuhao didn’t think much about it at first, and wondered why the files were not stored in a storage soul guide. He just waited silently for Jing Hongchen to come back.
Jing Hongchen returned to the teaching department, took care of some trivial matters, took out the top-secret document and started reading it.
Huo Yuhao originally wanted to speak up, but when he detected the contents of the document, he couldn't help but hesitate.
He couldn't understand the coded text on the document, but he could recognize the sketch.
A humanoid figure covered in a metal shell.
Huo Yuhao really didn’t expect that the Sun-Moon Empire was already researching such advanced things. Even though he couldn’t understand it, he quickly asked Tianmeng in the Sea of Spirit to copy it down.
"You've actually started researching mechas and Gundams."
“You guys are really amazing.”
Chapter 250 I Can’t Beat You, But I Can Beat You
Mingde Hall, another secret room deep in the underground base.
The ninth-level soul guide device, the God-conferring Platform, which is coveted by all the major forces on the continent and seals the embryo of a hundred thousand year old soul beast, is placed in the center of the secret room.
There are many level nine trigger-type soul guides arranged in the secret room. Even if there are intruders who break through the numerous obstacles and break in here, it is impossible to snatch away the Conferred God Platform so easily.
Those who are not aware of the arrangement of these soul guides will be seriously injured like that Earth-Splitting Douluo.
At this moment, Jing Hongchen was standing in the secret room, in front of the Conferred God Platform, with an uncertain expression.
Ever since the priceless 100,000-year soul beast embryo was bought, Mingde Hall has become the target of many major forces. In the past year, Mingde Hall has received several waves of invaders.
Jing Hongchen certainly knew that there was a traitor in Mingde Hall, but he knew in his heart that every eighth-level and ninth-level soul engineer around him was suspected of leaking information, and it would be impossible to find out by ordinary means.
And out of confidence in Mingdetang's strength, he never paid any attention to those invaders.
As long as he waits until his grandson grows up and absorbs the soul ring and soul bone of this hundred thousand year soul beast, he will have the possibility to awaken his second martial soul and become the first owner of twin martial souls in the history of the Sun Moon Empire, and the well-deserved first genius of the Sun Moon Empire.
With the help of the hundred thousand year spirit ring, it is not impossible for Xiao Hongchen to break through to become a Super Douluo.
In the past, when Jing Hongchen was admiring the dazzling and luxurious Conferred God Platform, he seemed to have seen Xiao Hongchen surpassing himself and becoming second to none.
But now the fire in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a gloomy face.
A soft white air current was flowing slowly in the Conferred God Platform. In the faint white mist, a figure resembling a child was looming, emitting a cold and powerful aura.
This powerful force once made Jing Hongchen think that he had gotten a great bargain, because this was definitely not an ordinary hundred thousand year soul beast.
But now, this power made him feel a little uneasy.
The Northland Douluo who suddenly appeared told him that the power contained in this hundred thousand year old soul beast was something that none of his grandchildren could absorb.
Only soul masters with extreme ice attributes are qualified to absorb its soul rings and soul bones, otherwise there will be no good ending.
Jing Hongchen didn't dare to gamble the lives of his grandchildren to verify whether this was true.
He stared at the Conferred God Platform and fell into a long silence.
When he mentioned the Ultimate Ice Martial Spirit, there was always a figure that lingered in his mind.
"Huo Yuhao, are you related to that Northland Douluo?"
Jing Hongchen frowned and talked to himself, but soon shook his head.
According to the information he had found, Huo Yuhao should be from the Star Luo Empire and have some relationship with the Star Luo royal family. It is impossible for him to come from the mysterious clan in the far north.
He narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. He took out a voice transmission soul guide, dialed the number, and said calmly: "Xiao, I will assign you a few tasks. You and Meng will..."
……
The next day, Huo Yuhao did not go to Mingde Hall, but came to the teaching building, the familiar third laboratory.
Entering the third laboratory, Orange and the others had not arrived yet. Huo Yuhao sat in the corner, eating grilled fish and thinking about his next plan.
Now it seems that the identity of Beidi Douluo has deceived Jing Hongchen very well, making him believe that there really is such a strong man who is close to the level of Extreme Douluo.
Perhaps, Jing Hongchen would choose to use a hundred thousand year soul beast embryo to establish a relationship with an Extreme Douluo powerhouse.
However, Huo Yuhao did not think that Jing Hongchen would be so easily fooled by him and give up the Snow Empress embryo. Even if she really gave up the Snow Empress embryo, she might not hand it over to him.
Huo Yuhao has been thinking about how to make good use of this false identity and bully others.
In the sea of spirituality, Tian Meng said timidly: "Yuhao, do you really have to keep acting? I'm so afraid of being exposed..."
"If someone attacks us directly, won't we be exposed?"
Huo Yuhao laughed and said, “Tian Meng, don’t you Ice Silkworms live in simulation all your life? Why are you still afraid?”
"But...but if I get found out, I'm really doomed."
“So this requires us to bluff.” Huo Yuhao said, “Strength is just like the stock market. It doesn’t necessarily matter how much you are actually worth. You just need to make others believe how much you are worth.”
"False strength is like a bubble. Although it may seem huge, it will burst at the slightest touch."
"Unfortunately, it takes courage and determination to burst the bubble."
Tian Meng listened with a confused look on his face. Bing Di beside him asked calmly, "Yu Hao, can't we use his grandson to threaten him?"
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then whispered, “I don’t think it’s a good idea to threaten others with something they care about. Although it can be very effective in the short term, it will lead to a series of bad consequences.”
"Why?" asked Bingdi, "Aren't you good at threatening people?"
"I prefer to threaten the person directly."
Huo Yuhao said calmly.
"Because you can use the things that others care about to threaten others, and others can also use the things that you care about to threaten you. No matter how powerful you are, there will definitely be things that you cannot protect."
"The first person who makes such a threat may achieve his goal, but once someone opens his mouth, everyone will end up threatening each other with the weak ones they care about, and the innocent weak ones will surely suffer."
"No one likes to use this method until the last minute."
"Just like the Title Douluo yesterday, he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."
Bingdi fell into deep thought.
Just then, an uninvited guest walked into the door of the third laboratory. Huo Yuhao felt a little unhappy, but still turned around and greeted the other party.
"Brother Xiao, what's the matter?"
The person who came was Xiao Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen smiled proudly and said, "Huo Yuhao, our battle was interrupted last time. Let's continue today."
"Okay, Brother Xiao, let's go."
Huo Yuhao nodded helplessly and followed him towards the Soul Guidance Trial Field.
Xiao Hongchen is a man who has no sense of shame when it comes to bullying the weak. He has been a Soul King for a long time, but he would pull me, who is still a Soul Sect master, onto the ring from time to time, and he would almost never hold back.
Huo Yuhao was really getting annoyed by him. He came again so early in the morning, before he even finished breakfast.
But Xiao Hongchen was no fool. He gradually found ways to deal with his attempts to destroy the soul guide. He was no longer as easy to deal with as at the beginning.
"Grandpa will also come to watch the game today. I want to officially defeat you in front of him."
Xiao Hongchen turned around and showed a confident smile.
Jing Hongchen? Why did he come to watch the game in person?
Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows and kept this question in his heart.
The Soul Guide Trial Field is the assessment time for lower grade students these days, but there are not many lower grade students this early in the morning. The huge trial field is empty, with only some teachers setting up the venue.
"You're finally here?" Meng Hongchen had been waiting in the trial field for a long time, holding his chin listlessly. After seeing the two people, he said weakly.
“Good morning, senior sister.” Huo Yuhao greeted.
Xiao Hongchen said proudly: "Huo Yuhao, I have found a way to restrain you. Your tricks no longer work on me."
