Chapter 151 and 152

Xuanzi Capturing Huo Yuhao (Chapter 151)

"Cold... so cold..."

Meng Hongchen's face was pale, with a trace of disbelief in her eyes.

Is this the ultimate ice and snow?

Even as an Ice Attribute Soul King, she could still feel the chill.

This is simply unbelievable.

Xiao Hongchen, who had a protective shield, didn't look much better.

The shield could only ensure he wasn't harmed, but it couldn't protect him from the temperature.

Even Meng Hongchen, an Ice Attribute Soul King, couldn't withstand it, let alone him, who didn't possess the ice attribute.

"Both of you, don't waste your efforts on soul tools. I possess the ultimate ice; a fifth-level soul tool can't harm me in the slightest."

"Unless you have the ability to shatter the ultimate ice."

Hu Yuhao touched the gun in his hand and spoke without changing his expression.

A fifth-level soul tool's attack?

Even if he didn't defend, it couldn't harm him in the slightest. This was no joke.

Hearing this.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen exchanged glances and finally nodded.

They knew that a soul master with an ultimate attribute was the strongest among their peers.

Four thousand years ago, it was a soul master with an ultimate attribute from Shrek Academy who led many Title Douluos to victory against the Sun Moon Empire.

From a young age, they had learned about the immense power of soul masters with ultimate attributes.

The ultimate ice and snow, although appearing for the first time, undoubtedly had no match among peers!

"Brother!"

"Sister!"

At this moment, they no longer called each other by name but were standing together.

When they stood together, it was like ice and fire.

"Kid, remember to surrender if you can't hold on!"

Xiao Hongchen reminded before exchanging another glance with Meng Hongchen.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Hongchen's Yearning!"

Their figures disappeared, leaving behind a giant ice-fire toad, which spat a "glob of phlegm" at Hu Yuhao.

The fusion attack of ice and fire attributes rushed towards Hu Yuhao.

"In the original timeline, without cheating, Hu Yuhao and Qiu'er were no match for these two."

The fusion degree of Hongchen's Yearning was at least over ninety percent. Even if Wang Dong'er, transformed from a spirit beast, couldn't withstand their Martial Soul Fusion Skill at the same level.

In the original timeline, it was only because Hu Yuhao cheated and completed one hundred percent Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Wang Qiu'er that they could defeat the Hongchen siblings.

"Unfortunately, your legend will end in my hands."

Hu Yuhao smirked and casually activated a soul ring.

Yes, casually chosen.

What his soul skill was didn't matter; he could make "slight adjustments."

For example, Snow Empress's first soul ring actually had four soul skills!

Yes, a total of four soul skills!

Including Snow Empress Three Unique Skills and one skill that required cooperation with the Ice Empress.

But that didn't matter; Hu Yuhao called it "Great Cold Without Snow," so it was "Great Cold Without Snow"!

"Third Soul Skill: Absolute Zero!"

Isn't this just a beam clash?

Since ancient times, the left side lost in beam clashes, so Hu Yuhao chose to stand slightly to the right when he entered the field.

Although superstition was useless and didn't affect his performance, he just liked standing on this side.

As the third soul ring flashed, the ice-blue gun shimmered with flowing light, as if millions of ice crystals gathered inside the gun, and he pulled the trigger...

The ice-fire intertwined energy collided with Absolute Zero, and in an instant, the ice-fire energy was frozen, then rushed toward the giant toad.

"Not good!"

"The ultimate ice and snow is actually this terrifying!"

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the two Soul Kings had reached the full power of a high-level Soul Emperor. Even a Soul Saint without a Martial Soul True Body would have to avoid its sharp edge

But this kid actually won the beam clash and even froze the attack from the Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

It was too fast; Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen didn't even have time to react before they were frozen on the stage.

At this moment, the giant toad couldn't even blink...

Hu Yuhao casually waved his hand, removing the ice from the two.

"Both of you, I guess I won, right?"

At this moment, the giant toad transformed back into the Hongchen siblings, both shivering. It was an instinctive reaction, not out of fear.

"You, you won."

Although unwilling, they admitted defeat; indeed, the other party had won.

Even with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they were no match for him.

At this moment, the Hongchen siblings were completely convinced.

This guy had only used his third soul skill!

"Good, truly a hero among the young. Our Sun Moon Empire is finally going to have a powerful soul master, no, a powerful soul engineer!"

Jing Hongchen was excited, not angry that Hu Yuhao had defeated his grandson and granddaughter.

In Jing Hongchen's view, Hu Yuhao becoming his disciple was a done deal; they were family, so why speak of two families?

Moreover, Hu Yuhao hadn't humiliated the Hongchen siblings. After the match, he immediately unfroze them, which already showed Hu Yuhao's attitude.

He truly just came to challenge.

"Your Sun Moon Empire will never produce a genius!"

"???"

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen and the other soul engineers' expressions changed.

This voice, why did it sound familiar?

"Hahaha... a bunch of trash!"

"Never expected to gain something unexpected from this trip!"

The newcomer didn't hesitate and appeared beside Hu Yuhao at the fastest speed, grabbing him and disappearing.

"???"

Jing Hongchen's expression stiffened; he had seen who it was!

"Xuan Zi, how dare you!!!"

Yes, the person who appeared was Xuan Zi!

He and Du Busi had already emptied what was beneath Mingdu and were planning to leave.

Never did they expect to feel the ultimate ice!

Good heavens, wasn't this the ultimate ice they had been searching for?

Ma Xiaotao's martial soul was special; it requires the ultimate ice to suppress.

Never thought they'd find one in the Sun Moon Empire's Illustrious Virtue Hall!

What a stroke of luck!

Hu Yuhao was dumbfounded; had he been taken by Xuan Zi?

"What wouldn't I dare?"

As a level 98 Super Douluo, Xuan Zi looked down on these level 9 soul engineers.

Moreover, he had a hostage!

Would they dare to use those large-scale destructive soul tools?

"I'm in a hurry, so I won't chat with you anymore."

Xuan Zi unleashed his full power, which Jing Hongchen and the others couldn't stop.

Of course, if they had prepared in advance and knew Xuan Zi was coming, they could have made sure he wouldn't return!

But it was too sudden!

Watching Xuan Zi's retreating figure, Jing Hongchen was furious. This was the hope for the Sun Moon Empire's rise!

Shrek, Shrek!!!

"What are you standing around for? Chase after him!"

"Even if he flees to Shrek Academy, I'll grind his bones to dust!"

"No wonder, no wonder our Sun Moon Empire never produced such a monster. As soon as one appears, Xuan Zi shows up!"

"Good, truly good!"

Jing Hongchen's face was gloomy as he led the group in pursuit of Xuan Zi.

The Sun Moon Empire must have many Shrek spies!

###

Ambush (Chapter 152)

Jing Hongchen and the others didn't ponder why Xuan Zi had come to Mingdu or what he had done there.

Right now, he just wanted to chase after Xuan Zi and grind his bones to ashes!

So what if he was a level 98 Super Douluo?

With so many level 9 Soul Engineers present, even a level 99 Ultimate Douluo wouldn't be taken seriously!

Only a few older level 9 Soul Engineers didn't chase after Xuan Zi. They stayed behind at the Illustrious Virtue Hall to prevent a decoy strategy!

"Go to the palace and make sure to invite the Envoys!"

"That kid is too important to our Sun Moon Empire. No matter what, he must not be allowed to go to Shrek Academy!"

"Yes!"

They were just ordinary level 9 Soul Engineers, but the Envoys in the palace were different. They had almost reached the peak of level 9 Soul Engineers, and there were even level 10 Soul Engineers stationed there!

If they could invite a level 10 Soul Engineer, Xuan Zi?

Wait for death!

A level 10 Soul Engineer's combat power was equivalent to a level 99 Limit Douluo, even slightly surpassing it!

Unfortunately, the actual cultivation of a level 10 Soul Engineer was relatively low.

If he could reach level 99 and combine it with level 10 soul tools, he might even achieve divine-level combat power!

To forge iron, one must be strong oneself!

This was the drawback of Soul Engineers.

At full speed, Xuan Zi was incredibly fast. The so-called city gates couldn't stop him at all.

In a short while, he had escaped Mingdu with Huo Yuhao.

"Kid, why aren't you resisting?"

What puzzled Xuan Zi was that the person he caught didn't resist at all!

Perhaps, he knew when to yield was a wise man?

"Elder Xuan, what should I resist? I don't even know what to say!"

Huo Yuhao's face returned to its original appearance, but it was just a fleeting moment before it changed back to the Sun Moon youth's appearance.

"???"

"Ah, Yuhao, how could it be you?"

Xuan Zi was dumbfounded. He thought he had captured a genius with Ultimate Ice from the Sun Moon Empire, but it turned out to be Huo Yuhao!

Had he made another mistake?

Ruined Huo Yuhao's plan?

Xuan Zi's expression was extremely colorful, as if he had eaten something unpleasant.

Fortunately, this operation didn't go wrong, otherwise, he might have died a hundred times over to make up for the mistake.

"I was planning to trick them out of a few more level 9 soul tools, but you came and took me away, just like that."

Huo Yuhao said gloomily.

Xuan Zi's arrival really wasn't arranged by him.

Xuan Zi: "..."

"I... I was just worried you might be in danger!"

"Just a few level 9 soul tools... What? Trick them out of a few level 9 soul tools?"

Xuan Zi was stunned again, feeling a bit dazed.

In the storage room, there quite were a few level 8 and 9 soul cannonballs, but not many level 9 soul tools.

Soul cannonballs and soul tools were different; one was for deterrence, the other for regular combat power.

Level 9 soul tools were also quite rare in the warehouse.

"Yeah, I only tricked one level 9 soul tool before you caught me."

Xuan Zi: "..."

Suddenly, Xuan Zi seemed to think of something and asked curiously, "Yuhao, I feel like the Ultimate Ice you released wasn't fake. Was it my illusion?"

Huo Yuhao could simulate things, which Xuan Zi knew.

But in his perception, the temperature of that Ultimate Ice couldn't be simulated!

"I've received several divine inheritances?"

Huo Yuhao tilted his head and looked at Xuan Zi.

He didn't answer Xuan Zi directly but changed the topic.

"Two, one is the God King of Destruction, and the other is the first-level god of Emotions."

Hearing this, Xuan Zi suddenly understood!

Indeed, if Huo Yuhao only had one martial soul, how could he receive two divine inheritances?

"So that's it. It seems this isn't simulated but that truly you possess the Ultimate Ice attribute!"

"Great, Xiao Tao can be saved!"

Xuan Zi was an extremely double-standard person. For the development of Shrek Academy, he could do anything.

When dealing with enemies, he could disregard the dignity of a strong person and strike directly.

As a "comrade," he had a very favorable impression of Huo Yuhao. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to complete the tasks Huo Yuhao assigned him.

After all, if these soul cannonballs exploded, or if they were discovered while moving them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

To focus on the task, he even gave up his beloved chicken legs.

"Yuhao, for your safety, let's not think about those level 9 soul tools anymore."

"Let's head straight back to the front lines!"

Xuan Zi still didn't know what had happened at the front lines, so he was unaware of Huo Yuhao's current strength.

Before Huo Yuhao could say anything, Xuan Zi looked around carefully and murmured, "Perhaps, we don't need to return so early!"

After leaving Mingdu, the area within a ten-kilometer radius was barren land, overgrown with weeds, this was the perfect place for an ambush!

He naturally couldn't defeat so many level 9 Soul Engineers, otherwise, he wouldn't have run so fast.

"Yuhao, wait for me to set up an ambush!"

Xuan Zi wasn't familiar with soul tools.

But he knew how to use soul cannonballs.

Under Huo Yuhao's puzzled gaze, Xuan Zi took out three level 9 soul cannonballs and dozens of level 8 soul cannonballs, hiding them carefully.

After finishing this, Xuan Zi took Huo Yuhao and continued to flee, but they didn't go too far before hiding again.

As long as Jing Hongchen and the others passed by, he will detonate these soul cannonballs!

"???"

Since when did Xuan Zi grow a brain?

He actually wanted to use these soul cannonballs to kill Jing Hongchen and the others!

After all, Xuan Zi was the one who despised soul tools the most. What he was doing now was practically slapping himself in the face.

Huo Yuhao didn't know that after seeing the Sun Moon Empire stockpile so many level 9 soul cannonballs, Xuan Zi had completely changed.

If something couldn't kill him, he naturally wouldn't care. But if something could kill him, how could he not take it seriously?

Even someone like him could be easily killed!

Soul cannonballs were truly terrifying!

"Elder Xuan, with such a simple setup, will they fall for it?"

Xuan Zi wasn't a professional Soul Engineer; he only knew how to use soul cannonballs.

Hiding soul cannonballs like this was too easy to detect!

"Kid Yuhao, you don't understand!"

"Who are they chasing?"

"They're chasing me, Xuan Zi, who has never touched a soul tool!"

"If you were chasing me, would you suspect that I set up soul cannonballs?"

Xuan Zi smirked and said.

Huo Yuhao: "???"

Xuan Zi's words made so much sense that Huo Yuhao was momentarily speechless.

Indeed, when chasing Xuan Zi, who would suspect that he had set up soul cannonballs?

Even if they noticed something, they would think it was a decoy, a delaying tactic, and wouldn't pay it any mind.

"You seem like an honest man, but your heart is black..."

"Hehe, it's all thanks to the reputation I've built over two hundred years, just to trick them once!"

That might be true, but in the past, Xuan Zi truly overlooked soul tools!
