Douluo Huo Yuhao: My Clone is Too Self-Disciplined

Even he didn't know when war would break out.

We can only take it one step at a time.

Xu Jiawei must have noticed something amiss, so he wanted to take precautions and make plans in advance.

This could be considered a sense of crisis.

The second-best person in the world actually appreciates this about him.

This is the quality that everyone must possess: to be prepared for danger even in times of peace. Although Xu Jiawei's actions were ultimately futile, at least he moved himself.

It can't be said that it's completely useless!

When it comes to soul tools, this is his specialty. Not to mention now, even just a year ago, he had already copied them almost perfectly.

The second-best in the world spoke confidently.
"All the soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire, all the blueprints for each type, are in my mind. Is Your Majesty perhaps tempted to have me captured and have the soul tool blueprints carved for you?"

May I?
To be honest, Xu Jiawei was genuinely moved.

He was shocked by what the second-best person in the world said, because it was very likely true, which made him even more shocked.

There was no reason for the second-best in the world to lie to him, after all, this second-best in the world exuded an aura of confidence from beginning to end.

They would probably disdain doing such a thing.

Moreover, he had heard rumors about the second-best in the world. Even before he learned that the second-best in the world was the biggest benefactor of the Tang Sect, he had been paying attention to this alien genius who was making a name for himself on the Sun Moon Continent.

After that, they paid even more attention to it.

Therefore, what he said about being the second best in the world should all be true.

He really wants to capture the second-best person in the world and carve soul guide blueprints for him. Capturing him is equivalent to gaining control of the entire Mingde Hall.

But he couldn't do it.

Because he dug a huge hole for himself.

This top-tier auction was a scheme he orchestrated to rip off Mingde Hall. By selling top-tier soul beast embryos to Mingde Hall, he could not only obtain a large number of soul tools but also a huge amount of gold soul coins. He was making the most of everything, using the gold soul coins to put up bounties on the black market and cause trouble for Mingde Hall. That was his plan.

Therefore, he knew very well how many powerful figures had come to the empire. This top-quality auction had effectively stirred up the waters, attracting quite a few fish.

Mingdetang mobilized its entire staff.

If he dares to arrest the second-best in the world, tomorrow Jing Hongchen will dare to come to the empire to demand his return.

The Sun and Moon Empire was several times stronger than any other empire.

As the saying goes, a weak nation has no diplomacy.

If he were truly cornered at the door, he really wouldn't dare utter a single word.

We had no choice but to release them!

Moreover, even if we capture the second-best in the world, we might not be able to force him to hand over the soul guide blueprints; on the contrary, it might cause us to become enemies.

This would actually cut off their business, making it a losing proposition.

If it weren't for the reminder from the second-best person in the world, he really wouldn't have thought there was such a path to take.

But it's just a thought!
"How could that be? Do I look like the kind of person who would do such a thing? We are partners now, and we should have more trust in each other."

"I'm asking you simply to find out if you're in the business of blueprints. I'll buy soul guide blueprints from you; you can name your price."

Upon hearing this, the second-best in the world smiled, neither refusing nor agreeing.

"This matter is of great importance. I urge Your Majesty to allow me to consider it. I will give Your Majesty a satisfactory answer before I leave."

"Good, it's so refreshing to talk to smart people."

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Okay, you're busy!"

Everything's been settled, so there's no point in keeping the second-best player in the world. Let him leave if he wants! Xu Jiawei is currently very busy.

He realized he had far too many people to meet lately.

There are too many to see, there are simply too many to see.

……

The Soul-Devouring Blood Blade cannot be stored in the storage soul tool. However, the Second in the World had been preparing this treasure for a long time and had already created a scabbard with sharpness capabilities.

Taking down this murder weapon in a short time shouldn't be a problem.

With the Soul-Devouring Blood Blade hanging at his waist, the Second Under Heaven calmly walked out of the Starlight Auction House.

Today he was wearing a light blue, well-fitting outfit, with his hands naturally hanging down, exuding a friendly and approachable air.

He walked on quietly, but soon he sensed a presence behind him, following him all along.

A cold smile appeared on his lips, and then he quietly walked towards an empty alley.

How dare a mere Soul Saint follow him?
He just finished discussing business with Xu Jiawei. Killing someone in Xingluo Imperial City shouldn't be too much of a problem, right? Let's see what she's here for first.

If they harbor ill intentions, then kill them.

A moment later, at the corner of the alley, a stunningly beautiful young woman in a gold-green dress looked puzzled.

Because she didn't know which way to go.

She followed for a while, and then she lost track of them.

"Are you, looking for me?"

The voice of "Second in the World" suddenly rang out from behind, startling the girl. She immediately turned around and only came to her senses after seeing that it was "Second in the World".

"Why do you walk so quietly?"

Ling'er's face still showed a hint of fright as she looked at the second-best in the world with an annoyance.

"You followed me, and you're blaming me for walking silently?"

Seeing that the Second Under Heaven had a cold expression and hearing his icy words, she thought he was angry, so she immediately tried to explain.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to follow you. I just wanted to help you."

"Help me? Interesting. Go on, if you don't satisfy me, I guarantee you'll suffer a terrible death!"

"You're scary. I'm very powerful too, and I won't die."

When she said she wouldn't die, a confident look did appear on Ling'er's face.

However, she quickly came to her senses.

After all, she hadn't explained why she was following the second-best in the world. If she didn't make it clear, the young man might really misunderstand her.

"Did you just buy that Soul-Devouring Blood Blade?"

"Interesting, you knew that? I've heard that Starlight Auction House has very good confidentiality measures. How did you know?"

Ling'er smiled sweetly.
“My talent is very special. I can sense things with strong life force. I believe that you are willing to spend so much money to buy this Soul-Devouring Blood Blade because you can tell that it is made of living gold.”

"So what?"

It's clear he's second best in the world; it seems this young woman is the one who just bid against him.

They've come here mostly for this piece of "life gold," but it's unclear whether they intend to buy it or steal it.

But no matter what method he uses, he will make her know what regret is.

However, the second-best in the world didn't expect that he was wrong about both things. This girl really came here to help him.
