Bingdi praised in a speechless manner: "Yuhao, why do I feel like you are always thinking of some tricks?"
“This process has a special name, called white gloves.” Huo Yuhao smiled and swung the Spirit Ascension Guardian Blade in his hand for the last time, completing the engraving of the core magic circle.
Feng Ling on the side was admiring Huo Yuhao's actions with satisfaction, while the Second Elder and the Third Elder were already stunned.
The second elder asked, "Third elder, how does the Saint Son's soul mentor level compare to your disciples?"
The Third Elder was mumbling something, but it was unclear what he was saying. He just looked at Huo Yuhao's performance with approval.
Huo Yuhao took a few more pieces of ordinary metal and after some forging, the main part of the soul guide was soon completed.
He took the core magic circle with his right hand and inserted it into the main part like inserting a card. With a few clicks, the soul guide was officially completed.
The third elder came forward quickly.
This is a gray soul guide device similar to a grenade or a bomb. It is only about the size of a palm and can be easily held in the hand.
"Is this... a soul-guided bomb?" The third elder frowned.
Judging from the appearance, this should be a soul-guided bomb, but he did not see the core magic array related to the explosion engraved by Huo Yuhao just now.
Although the specific effect is unclear, judging from the complexity and exquisiteness of the engraving, this can definitely be called a sixth-level soul guide.
The gray bomb exuded an inexplicably terrifying aura.
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said, "Third Elder, I wonder if a person like me who is not good at anything can participate in the Underground Soul Instructor Competition?"
The Third Elder quickly came back to his senses and laughed, "Master Saint, of course you are qualified."
"But you should know that this underground soul guide competition also has a battle part, which requires soul guides to use their own soul guides to participate. I wonder what the name of the soul guide you made is, and how powerful it is?"
Huo Yuhao raised his lips and said, "Third Elder, you don't need to worry about this. This is a soul guide I made by fusing the Holy Death Magic Divine Martial Soul. It is a dead soul bomb. It is powerful enough to threaten a soul emperor."
"Unfortunately, I can't make another one in the short term. Once I use this one, it will be gone. How about I wait until the Underground Soul Instructor Competition and let you witness its power with your own eyes?"
The third elder did not speak, but looked at Feng Ling inquiringly.
Feng Ling nodded gently: "In that case, we will wait patiently for a few days."
"I believe that with the Saint's strength, he will definitely win the Soul Instructor Competition."
The second elder laughed and said, "For this competition, we have invited a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell as the champion reward. Lord Saint, it seems that this must be yours."
Huo Yuhao smiled wryly and said, “Of course.”
Feng Ling finally nodded, her expression becoming more serious. She looked at the two elders and asked, "The discussion about the underground soul mentor competition has come to an end for now. How have you been managing your subordinates, especially the evil soul masters, recently?"
The second elder frowned and said, "Deputy leader, although we have repeatedly emphasized the need to conceal our presence, evil spirit masters still disappear and strongholds are destroyed from time to time."
"We have issued orders to have the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth officers regularly inspect the various strongholds. Recently, there has been no news of the destruction of any strongholds."
Feng Ling looked at Huo Yuhao with a serious expression: "Saint Son, you must pay attention to your safety. Try to stay close to the elders and don't act alone."
Huo Yuhao smiled with regret: "Deputy Sect Leader, I strictly abide by the sect rules and even stopped going out to hunt souls. Look, my cultivation has been stuck at level 63 for a long time."
In order to dispel possible suspicions, after the three Zhongli brothers, Huo Yuhao began to deliberately suppress his own cultivation when absorbing the soul power of evil soul masters, constantly compressing his soul power in his dantian to prevent his level from increasing.
As long as the level doesn't increase, it seems that he won't be suspected, right?
Feng Ling frowned, "In just a few months, dozens of branch elders and evil spirit masters were killed, and even Zhong Litian's three servants died."
"This shows that there is probably some force secretly targeting us."
"Who do you think it might be?"
The second elder and the third elder also looked solemn.
The Holy Spirit Church has always been doing things in secret, how could it be secretly targeted like this?
"Is it the Pingfan Alliance? Or the Aodu Chamber of Commerce?" the second elder asked after thinking for a moment.
As the leader of the Xishui Alliance, he naturally thought of these two underground forces.
"Probably."
Feng Ling frowned and glanced at Huo Yuhao beside her: "Holy Son, do you have any clues?"
Huo Yuhao pretended to think for a moment, then replied in a deep voice: “I don’t know.”
"Deputy leader, second elder, third elder. I'm going back to Mingyue Hotel first."
The third elder stood up quickly: "Holy Son, I will escort you."
Huo Yuhao declined politely, “Third Elder, the Mingyue Hotel is not far from here, and this is in broad daylight at the foot of the Imperial City. Do you think anything bad will happen to me?”
Feng Ling smiled and said, "Third brother, you don't have to be so sensitive. No one dares to do anything under the eyes of the Xu family."
The Third Elder then let it go, but he still said in the end: "Holy Son, we will discuss this again after the competition is over."
……
Huo Yuhao left the Qingse Hotel and walked on the streets in the center of Ming City, throwing the gray undead bomb in his hand.
Yin Lex's surprised voice sounded: "Yuhao, you can actually integrate the magic of the dead with the technology of this world. It seems that you have opened up a new path for me that I have never imagined."
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, “Mr. Yin, interdisciplinary and cross-field research will become the mainstream sooner or later.”
He looked at the undead bomb in his hand.
Unlike ordinary soul-guided bombs, this undead bomb will not explode when thrown at the enemy. Instead, it will release a horrifying soul shock to the soul and spirit of all living beings within a diameter of ten meters.
Not only is the indiscriminate mental attack unstoppable, it can also penetrate the defensive shield, enough to make a Soul Emperor who has no mental defenses fall into dizziness.
If you attack a strong person, you will not suffer backlash and your true identity will not be exposed.
"Next time, try combining this with the fixed-type soul guide shells."
Huo Yuhao put away the undead bomb and walked towards Mingyue Hotel.
"Are you in such a hurry to go back?" A cold voice sounded in my ears.
Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to the right and looked at Lai Yuan, the source of the voice.
At some point, Xue Di appeared beside him and walked side by side with him.
"Xuedi, why did you come out?"
Xue Di said calmly, "You don't have to hide your identity now. How about taking me, your team leader, and your two pre-selected team members around for a walk?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned at first, then he smiled.
"as you wish."
Chapter 316 Why don’t I remember who you are?
Mingyue Hotel, seventh floor, in a second-class luxury suite.
The younger generation of the Body Sect, led by Long Aotian, were sitting in the hall. In addition to them, there were several seniors from the Body Sect and the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
But among all the people, the young leader of the Body Sect and the royal princess Vina have the highest status and say.
Everyone else was sitting together, only Huo Qiuer was standing alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the scene of Mingdu with an indifferent look.
Her gaze did not keep changing, but remained focused on one point.
Long Aotian said in a deep voice: "According to the news sent back by the Xingluo Empire, the Sun-Moon Empire is likely to take advantage of this competition to gather the elites of the three countries on the continent in Mingdu, and then take the opportunity to deal with all of us."
"Almost all of us, the elites from the three countries on the mainland, have gathered here. If we are all caught in one fell swoop, it will be a big blow to the three countries."
Vina took over and said: "Not only that, the Sun Moon Empire dared to do this, it also means something more important."
"That means they are ready to start a war at any time."
"The seniors in the sect have secretly dispersed to various places in Mingdu in advance, and have also discovered some movements of the Sun and Moon military."
The people from the Body Sect and the Tianhun Royal Family all had solemn expressions on their faces, but they did not appear to be overly panicked. It was obvious that they had not just learned about the Sun-Moon Empire's conspiracy.
Long Aotian continued, "But unfortunately, the Sun Moon Empire made a wrong calculation. They wanted to catch the turtle in the jar, but they didn't know that they were inviting a wolf into the house. Letting us go deep into Mingdu was their biggest mistake."
Vina nodded and said, "Now, we have learned in advance about the Sun Moon Empire's conspiracy. They plan to assassinate the current Sun Moon Empire's crown prince, Xu Tianran, before or after the competition."
An elder of the Tianhun royal family frowned and asked, "Your Highness, this is an extremely dangerous move. Have you really made up your mind?"
"Since you knew about the Sun Moon Empire's conspiracy in advance, why did you risk your lives to come and participate?"
Vina said with a serious expression: "Even if we don't participate in this competition, it won't delay the war. The crown prince of the Sun-Moon Empire has always advocated war and is the biggest advocate of war in the Sun-Moon Empire."
"The current Sun-Moon Emperor is no longer in good health. If he is allowed to succeed smoothly, the war will still come soon. But as long as he dies, the Sun-Moon Empire will definitely fall into civil strife, delaying the start of the war."
Long Aotian nodded and asked, "Vina, how many experts from Xingluo, Douling, and Shrek have come to participate in the plan?"
Vina showed a worried look on her face: "Xingluo is the initiator of the assassination plan. It is said that there are a total of six Titled Douluo, including two Super Douluo. We have a total of ten Titled Douluo including the Sect Master. Douling is the weakest, and we don't know how many will come."
Long Aotian asked again: "Where is Shrek Academy?"
Vina hesitated and said, "There should be many experts from Shrek Academy coming as well, but they said they don't want to get involved in disputes between countries, and they won't listen to our one-sided words."
Long Aotian's face suddenly darkened: "In other words, the only main assassins we can be sure of are Xing Luo and me?"
Vina added: "Shrek Academy said that if the Sun Moon Empire's conspiracy is true, they will naturally not sit idly by."
"That would be best." Long Aotian's voice was low and his expression was not very good.
According to news from Xingluo, the Crown Prince of the Sun-Moon Empire is currently connected with an evil soul master organization called the Holy Spirit Cult.
There are not only more than twenty Titled Douluo in the sect, but also two Ultimate Douluo.
As soon as this news reached Tianhun, the entire Tianhun royal family and the Body Sect were stunned for a moment. After several days of internal discussion, they quickly agreed to Xingluo's assassination plan.
The Tianhun Empire and the Xingluo Empire border the Sun and Moon Empire respectively. They are on the front lines and are most aware of the Sun and Moon Empire's strength on the battlefield, so they will never miss this opportunity to go deep into the enemy camp.
However, the high-end combat power of the two countries is limited after all, and some people have to stay at home. It is impossible for all the strong men to come out in full force. The total number of Title Douluo that can be mobilized is only more than ten.
Such combat power may seem abundant, but it is far from enough.
Douling has the weakest national strength and seems dispensable, so Xingluo and Tianhun naturally place their hopes for high-end combat power on Shrek Academy.
But at this juncture, Shrek Academy said that it would not get involved in any country’s disputes, which made Long Aotian feel a little ridiculous.
Vina analyzed: "Xu Tianran may not have strong personal protection around him. If we just want to assassinate him, the number of strong people between our two countries may be enough."
"We will discuss it after Xu Jiujiu arrives."
Long Aotian nodded: "That's the only way."
At this moment, Huo Qiuer, who had been standing by the window, spoke indifferently.
