Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 403 Slaying a Level 9 Soul Master, Confirming Tang San's Name as a Thief (Part 2)

The next moment, Tang Yun's triggered mental defense soul tool activated, and a golden light shield appeared. However, Huo Yuhao's mental power, condensed by his soul impact soul skill, although losing some of its power due to the destruction of a mental defense soul tool, still continued its momentum and struck the golden light shield directly. Spiderweb-like cracks gradually appeared.

Seeing this, Tang Yun took out a new invincible shield, held it in his hand, ready to use it at any time, in case the triggered mental defense soul tool was destroyed and he was unable to quickly defend against the opponent's attack.

However, he was also somewhat surprised at this moment.

"This person's mental strength is so powerful? How could a Soul Emperor possibly have such strong mental strength? This person's mastery of mental strength is almost on par with a Super Douluo of the mental type. Could it be that a Super Douluo of the mental type is lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity to strike? This is troublesome."

Thinking of this, Tang Yun suddenly felt a little nervous.

It should be noted that his mental defense soul tool is one of the best among level eight soul tools. Even a titled Douluo of the mental type cannot shatter it instantly. Only a super Douluo of the mental type can shatter such a thing instantly with his mental soul skill.

Generally speaking, defensive soul tools are more difficult to forge than offensive soul tools.

Therefore, any level nine Soul Master who is skilled in crafting defensive Soul Tools actually holds a relatively high position in the Sun Moon Empire and is highly regarded.

Take Jing Hongchen for example. Although Jing Hongchen is not the strongest soul master in the Sun Moon Empire, he has a relatively high status among the level nine soul masters in the Sun Moon Empire because of his Red Dust Protection, a level nine defensive soul tool that does not limit the user's level. In addition, his relationship with Kong Deming is also the reason why Jing Hongchen was able to obtain the position of the head of the Mingde Hall.

Compared to the position of the Hall Master of Mingde Hall, the position of the Hall Master of Sun and Moon Empire is naturally better. It is a lucrative post, and even the Hall Masters of Sun and Moon Empire are quite interested in the position of Hall Master of Mingde Hall.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's soul attack had already shattered Tang Yun's triggered mental defense soul tool. Tang Yun, who was prepared in advance, immediately activated the invincible shield. Almost instantly, the golden invincible shield appeared and blocked Huo Yuhao's soul attack. The three-second invincible time quickly passed, and the soul attack was completely worn away.

Behind Tang Yun, the phantom of the Evil Eye Tyrant flashed by, and a faint silver-white light emanated from his body. A powerful aura emanated from Tang Yun.

Tang Yun is not only a level nine Soul Master, but also a Title Douluo with the Evil Eye Tyrant Martial Soul. His title is Evil Eye, so he is the Evil Eye Douluo.

He was also quite accomplished in mental power, and even among the titled Douluo of the mental type, he was considered a strong one. However, he still dared not be careless when facing a super Douluo of the mental type who might be lurking in the shadows.

After all, there is a big difference between a Title Douluo and a Super Douluo. He was only a level 92 Title Douluo, but he still had the confidence to contend with that Super Douluo because he was also a level 9 Soul Master.

The level nine soul tool he made by hand was called the Evil Eye Blessing. It was a silver-white necklace he wore around his neck, and its greatest function was to enhance the power of his spiritual soul skills.

This allows him to unleash spiritual skills with power comparable to a level 95 spiritual-type Super Douluo. As for the drawback, it naturally consumes a lot of spiritual power and also requires some life force.

"Mental Storm!" He activated his ninth soul skill, and an invisible storm swept towards Huo Yuhao.

In fact, based on the ice-attribute soul skill that Huo Yuhao had just used, Tang Yun already knew that this person was a rare and supreme ice martial soul master.

If there is a mental-type Super Douluo lurking in the shadows here, then he must be here to protect the other party. Otherwise, a mental-type Super Douluo would never appear here for no reason.

Since that's the case, let's force them to reveal themselves first.

A golden light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes. He immediately activated his fourth soul skill, Mental Replication. Almost instantly, he copied the opponent's Mental Storm soul skill. His eyes flickered slightly, and the next moment, an invisible mental storm, centered on Huo Yuhao, swept rapidly toward Tang Yun.

Soon, the two mental storms collided.

The clash of mental soul skills is different from other soul skills, so the collision of the two mental storms did not cause snow and ice to fall, nor did it cause the nearby plant soul beasts to be instantly physically destroyed.

The light was merely distorted, but other external manifestations of the collision between the two mental storms also became apparent over time. The surrounding plant spirit beasts were rapidly withering and dying, as if their vitality was quickly fading away.

"This Super Douluo lurking in the shadows actually used my soul skill against me? Could it be that my soul skill was copied? Or does the other party just happen to have the same soul skill as me?" Tang Yun's face showed shock. He had not expected this situation to happen at all.

After a brief stalemate between the two mental storms, Huo Yuhao's mental storm gained the upper hand. His mental storm tore apart Tang Yun's and rapidly swept towards Tang Yun.

Tang Yun made a decisive move and charged towards Huo Yuhao's direction despite his fear. The Super Douluo hiding in the shadows had already surpassed the level of a level 95 Super Douluo, clearly indicating a higher cultivation level. Even if he wanted to run away, he probably wouldn't be able to.

Therefore, in order to survive, he could only take hostage the Soul Emperor wearing the humanoid soul tool as soon as possible, thus gaining a chance to live. In his opinion, although the Soul Emperor exuded the aura of a Title Douluo, it was just the effect of the simulated soul skill that came with the humanoid soul tool.

He directly activated the extremely precious Level 7 Invincible Shield, a soul tool developed based on the Invincible Golden Body, which can naturally resist attacks at the level of mental power. The highest level of the Invincible Shield is only Level 7, and a Level 7 Invincible Shield can resist the attack of a Super Douluo for three seconds.

Because this thing is so precious, even he only has two left, one of which he is currently using.

Boom!

The mental storm swept towards Tang Yun with unparalleled momentum, but it was firmly blocked by the level seven invincible shield, and Tang Yun did not suffer any harm.

Soon, he appeared near Huo Yuhao. The three-second duration of the invincible shield had also passed. A smile appeared on his face. He felt that he had victory in his grasp. If he couldn't deal with that Super Douluo, he could certainly deal with this bluffing Soul Emperor.

Just as he was preparing to take down Huo Yuhao directly.

Suddenly, an icy blue sword light appeared and slashed towards him, while Huo Yuhao, wearing the Ice Extreme War God Armor, followed closely behind.

The emperor's sword is extremely unparalleled!
Tang Yun sensed the unparalleled aura of the icy blue sword light, and his expression changed slightly. The icy blue sword light directly struck him, and an eighth-level triggered defensive soul guide shield instantly appeared. Under the attack of the icy blue sword light, the soul guide shield quickly developed cracks and shattered in an instant.

The next moment, the icy blue sword light struck him directly. Almost instantly, his body was covered by ice elements and frozen solid. Meanwhile, a large number of snowflakes fell from the sky onto him.

Tang Yun immediately realized something was terribly wrong. He wanted to use his invincible shield, but because his body was filled with ice element, the speed at which he channeled his soul power slowed down, and his movements became sluggish. Huo Yuhao seized the opportunity, reached out his hand, and directly activated the Ice Explosion Technique.

"burst!"

Thanks to the Ice God Armor's current freezing effect, he can condense more ice elements on Tang Yun's body and freeze him faster, which means that the power of his Ice Blast Technique has been greatly enhanced.

The next moment, Tang Yun's body exploded into pieces of varying sizes. The air should have been filled with a strong smell of blood, but because of the howling wind and snow, the smell of blood was completely diluted.

"Huo Yuhao, you killed him so quickly? Since you put on this humanoid soul tool, your strength has actually increased a lot. Have soul tools developed to this extent in the outside world?" Titan Snow Demon King asked incredulously.

On the one hand, he was happy that Huo Yuhao had killed this person.

On the other hand, he was worried about the current development of soul tool technology. After all, if soul tool technology had developed to this level, then any gathering place of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent would be in danger.

He hadn't expected that Huo Yuhao, after donning the humanoid soul tool, would be so powerful that he could kill a level nine soul master, which undoubtedly overturned his impression of the Soul Emperor.

"Killing him isn't particularly difficult. As for the humanoid soul tools outside, none are as powerful as the one I have. Strictly speaking, the one I have is already the pinnacle of humanoid soul tools currently available," Huo Yuhao patiently explained.

Hearing this, Titan Snow Demon King was relieved. He didn't actually have a strong sense of vigilance towards Huo Yuhao at the moment, because the other party had the Snow Emperor's soul. Even if he didn't trust Huo Yuhao, he had to trust the Snow Emperor.

Huo Yuhao looked ahead, and his powerful spiritual energy radiated out from him. Soon, he found Tang Yun's remnant soul and captured it to his side.

Even formal disciples of the Holy Spirit Sect can use special methods to find or collect souls in order to refine vengeful spirits. Huo Yuhao is considered to have a higher level of spiritual attainment than the disciples of the Holy Spirit Sect. For Huo Yuhao, finding Tang Yun's remnant soul is naturally a piece of cake.

Tang Yun's remnant soul was a Title Douluo of the Mental System in his previous life, so he naturally possessed intelligence. At this moment, he looked at Huo Yuhao with surprise. Through Huo Yuhao's methods just now, he felt that his previous judgment was wrong. This person was clearly the Super Douluo of the Mental System.

The so-called Soul Emperor cultivation level is just a disguise, and this humanoid soul tool is probably also a disguise.

But just now, Titan Snow Demon King called this person Huo Yuhao... Could it be the Huo Yuhao from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? That's impossible! It must be someone with the same name. After all, how old is Huo Yuhao from Sun Moon now? How could he possibly possess such extraordinary strength?

In particular, his mental strength, which was so powerful that it was almost unreasonable, was something that a student of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy should not possess.

Even the Sea God, at Huo Yuhao's current age, did not possess such powerful spiritual strength.

Huo Yuhao transmitted his voice to Electrolux in his spiritual sea: "Teacher, please make a move and copy and browse this person's memories. I want to see some connections between him and the Sea God Tang San."

Electrolux replied, "Okay."

He was more skilled in the art of the soul than Huo Yuhao, and could be considered an expert in manipulating souls. It was actually more efficient for him to copy and flip through memories. Soon, Huo Yuhao's eyes turned gray, and an aura of holiness and deathly stillness emanated from Huo Yuhao's body, while Tang Yun's remnant soul's gaze became dull.

A moment later, for safety's sake, Huo Yuhao had Electrolux destroy Tang Yun's remnant soul. The grayness in Huo Yuhao's eyes faded, and he silently perused the memories of Tang Yun that Electrolux had shared.

To be honest, Tang Yun was essentially a Soul Master who had been brainwashed by Tang San. The reason he was able to become a Title Douluo and a Level 9 Soul Master was because of Tang San's support. Tang Yun mainly helped Tang San with two major tasks: first, he helped Tang San complete the Snow Empress incident; second, he helped Tang San collect a large number of Soul Tool blueprints and then presented them to Tang San.

The former is easy to understand; it's simply to stir up the situation, intensify conflicts, and hasten the war. According to Huo Yuhao's guess, this might be to bring about chaos as soon as possible, so as to better collect the power of faith. After all, Tang San doesn't do things without a reason.

As for the latter, he pondered for a moment and felt that Tang San was probably carrying on his thieving nature. It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. Even as a high and mighty god-king, he couldn't suppress his thieving thoughts.

Anything stolen, no matter what it is, can eventually become Tang San's invention. For example, the Xuan Tian Bao Lu was originally created by the ancestors of the Tang Sect, but when it came to Douluo Continent, Tang San transformed into the creator of the Xuan Tian Bao Lu and was revered by the people of the Tang Sect in Douluo.

Another example is in Douluo Continent V, where Tang San, after being reborn in the Fairy Continent, even "derived" an upgraded version of hidden weapons with magic arrays.

Isn't this some kind of soul-guided hidden weapon? Once the world changes, the inventor changes.

Of course, Tang San shamelessly defended himself, saying that although the Tang Sect had developed a soul tool based on hidden weapons and equipped with a core magic array, as a God King, he only knew the concept and did not know how to specifically make the soul tool.

Therefore, the combination of magic array and hidden weapons was something Tang San "derived" himself using his intelligence.

Logically speaking, this makes no sense at all.

Admittedly, there is an additional bloodline energy system in the Fairy Continent. Combining this with magic arrays and hidden weapons will require Tang San to spend some time, but this cannot cover up the fact that Tang San stole it.

As for why Tang San didn't bestow the soul tool blueprints that Tang Yun had offered upon Shrek Academy, it's probably because he wanted to keep them for himself.

After all, Tang San left a censored version of the Xuan Tian Gong for the Tang Sect, so it's not surprising that he would do something like this.

He then continued to peruse Tang Yun's memories and quickly discovered the method for creating the Evil Eye Blessing. He thought this soul tool was quite interesting and could be improved.

Titan Snow Demon King leaned closer, somewhat puzzled: "By the way, Huo Yuhao, why did you suddenly come to the far north? I remember you lived in the Sun Moon Empire, which should be very far from here."

Huo Yuhao cut to the chase, saying, "Titan Snow Demon King, the reason I came to the far north is to persuade you to become my soul spirit."
