Chapter 254 Dai Yun'er: Ling Bing still has me in her heart.
Why has the Douluo Federation consistently maintained a superior overall strength compared to the Star Luo Empire?
Besides having several Limit Douluo, the stable inheritance of the Divine Craftsman is also of paramount importance.
Only the Heavenly Forged Metal, crafted by the master craftsman himself, can be used to make four-word battle armor, and the core components of those red-level mechs are also inseparable from Heavenly Forged Metal.
Furthermore, the fact that the Star Luo Empire has always lagged behind the Douluo Federation in the research of soul tools is also closely related to the lack of master craftsmen.
Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er's beautiful eyes lit up instantly.
"Sister Zhu Ying, you're right. Now Father can't keep nagging me about Long Yue, can he?"
As she spoke, she grabbed Zhu Ying's hand and walked briskly toward the palace with great joy.
"Come on, I need to tell Father Emperor this news as soon as possible, so that he can understand that his daughter's marriage is related to the future of the empire for the next hundred years."
Seeing Dai Yun'er's lively and bouncy demeanor return, Zhu Ying followed behind, sighing softly in her heart.
How could she not see that the white-haired boy actually had little interest in her, this willful and capricious princess?
I just hope that in the end, it won't really be a case of unrequited love.
Meanwhile, in a secret room beneath Xingluo City.
A middle-aged man, nearly forty years old and with a distinctive physique, stood in front of the tightly closed door, his face contorted with worry.
His round, barrel-like body, paired with his seemingly harmless, chubby face, looked particularly comical at that moment.
Hu Jie took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his stomach, before managing to put on his signature smile again and pushing the door open.
The room was furnished very simply, even crudely.
Apart from a stone table and two stone chairs, there was nothing else, and a figure was already sitting in the main seat.
The person was completely covered by a large gray robe, with a hood covering their head, concealing all features in the shadows, making it impossible to discern their gender or appearance.
The only thing that could be seen was a pair of gray eyes, and two blood-red pupils in those eyes that looked like congealed blood, exuding a strange and unsettling aura.
Hu Jie carefully walked to the other end of the table and sat down, adopting an extremely humble posture, and began to speak:
"Dark Blood Eyes, don't you know how strictly Star Luo City has been cracking down on evil soul masters lately? If the royal family's spies discover our presence here, we'll both be in deep trouble."
The figure with dark, blood-red eyes did not move; only a cold voice echoed in the room.
"If it weren't for the failure of that Green Skull organization mission last time, I would have already completed the task assigned by the sect leader. Why would I have to stay on this Star Luo Continent and endure this polluted air?"
Hu Jie's brows furrowed slightly, barely perceptible, as he suppressed his displeasure and suggested in a deep voice, "Since the method of directly capturing Dai Yun'er last time is no longer feasible, why not just honestly participate in the competition?"
"Given the strength of our chosen contestants, securing a top-ten finish in the individual competition shouldn't be too difficult. At that point, we can legitimately enter the Divine Trial Grounds and deliver the Sect Master's message—that's the perfect strategy."
"Ha, a foolproof plan?"
A short, sharp laugh came from the mouth of the dark, blood-red eyes.
"It is because of your timid and cowardly appearance that we have not been able to seize control of the Star Luo Tang Sect even after more than ten years, which has made our layout on this continent so passive."
The dark, blood-red eyes sneered without any politeness, "Don't forget what your real mission is. The sect leader's patience with you isn't limitless."
"you……"
Hu Jie's fat face turned red and white after being choked by these words, and his breathing became heavy.
If the other party hadn't been a special envoy sent by the sect leader, I would have already let her know that a mere level 95 evil soul master dared to spout such nonsense in front of me.
"There's no point in saying more. Let's just consider Dai Yun'er's matter over."
Dark Blood Eyes seemed to have lost patience, and lightly tapped the table. "The main problem now is that you need to completely incorporate the Tang Clan into Xingluo as soon as possible."
As he spoke, a piece of white paper silently floated to Hu Jie's front.
He carefully examined the contents, and his already unpleasant expression instantly turned even more pale.
A short while later, the white paper burst into an eerie red light before Hu Jie's eyes and instantly turned to ashes.
"You should have figured things out by now."
Dark Blood Eyes spoke again, ordering, "I need your men to fully cooperate with the Green Skull organization in launching this retaliatory operation within Star Luo City."
"Only in this way can we maximize the damage to the prestige of the Star Luo royal family and the Star Luo Tang Sect. After it's done, you'll take the lead in standing up and making a name for yourself, and arrest a few scapegoats that we've arranged in advance."
Furthermore, with the media we've prepared stirring up public opinion, your prestige will naturally rise even higher, further solidifying your position within the Star Luo Tang Sect.
Hu Jie gritted his teeth, the fat on his cheeks trembling, and finally lowered his head to reply:
"Yes. I will give the order."
"Very good." Seeing Hu Jie agree, Dark Blood Eyes nodded in satisfaction.
Immediately, her figure began to blur, turning into a scarlet streak of blood light, and disappeared from the spot.
Only disdainful voices remained, still echoing in the room.
"Next time, remember to have a woman handle things with me. Seeing a bunch of bloated, fat men like you just makes me sick."
Only when the other person's breath completely disappeared did Hu Jie clench his fists tightly under the table, but he could only helplessly loosen them again.
Because of Mu Ye's mother, he left the Body Sect and came to the Tang Sect. He thought he had found a good new home, but he didn't expect that he had boarded a pirate ship that he could never turn back from.
But it was all too late. A restriction had already been placed inside his body, and his life and death were now in the hands of others.
Furthermore, over the years, the Holy Spirit Cult has repeatedly committed heinous crimes in various places on the Douluo Continent.
Turning to the point, it was the Tang Clan's Soul Fighting Hall that stepped in to deal with those evil soul masters, thereby gradually enhancing the Tang Clan's prestige and status in the hearts of the people.
Thinking about how he was one of the instigators of this self-directed and self-acted affair, Hu Jie could only let out a desperate sigh.
He had volunteered to come to the Star Luo Continent and become the Star Luo head of the Xuan Shi Tang Men Company, precisely so that he could stay away from the conflicts on the Douluo Continent.
But to my surprise, this damned thing still came knocking on my door.
According to the Holy Spirit Cult's almost insane plan, once the Level 7 fixed-position soul-guided cannonball buried beneath the Tianxing Theater is detonated...
At that time, the area within a radius of several kilometers will be instantly reduced to scorched earth and ruins, and the number of dead and injured will likely exceed 100,000.
For a time, Hu Jie, who was jokingly called a smiling tiger by others, could no longer squeeze out a smile on his fat face.
three days later.
As the first rays of the sun slowly rose, golden light bathed the earth, and the vast Star Luo City, like a giant beast awakening from its slumber, began to reveal its astonishing vitality.
Outside the Xingluo Stadium, a bustling crowd had already gathered, as all the tickets for the competition had been sold out before the event even began.
From above, the dense crowds converged into a torrent, surging towards the stadium entrance from all directions.
Patrol mechs painted with the imperial insignia could be seen flying slowly over the surrounding streets and even in the low sky from time to time, maintaining basic order at the scene.
Even so, the Xingluo Stadium, which is said to be able to accommodate 300,000 spectators, still seemed overwhelmed by the massive influx of people.
Inside the stadium, fifty enormous arenas now stand tall.
Above each arena, a semi-transparent soul energy shield slowly circulates, ensuring that energy fluctuations during the match do not affect any corner of the audience.
Today, all fifty arenas will be put into use to serve the most anticipated individual elimination rounds of the entire Soul Master Tournament.
When Huo Yuhao, holding his electronic contestant pass, entered the rest area of the competition arena through the contestant's exclusive passage, the first round of fierce battles had already begun on the fifty arenas.
The Star Luo Continent reveres individual heroism, and the individual competition is not only linked to qualifying for the Divine Examination, but also offers rewards far exceeding those of all other competitions.
This directly led to the number of participants in the individual competition far exceeding that of any other event, reaching a staggering six thousand people this year.
In the knockout stage, the rules are extremely simple.
Losing just one match would end the entire tournament.
As for the opening ceremony of the Soul Master Competition, it will not be held until all the elimination rounds of all events are completed.
Before Huo Yuhao could even find a suitable corner to sit down in the rest area and wait for his match to begin...
A clear and cheerful mental transmission sounded quietly in his ear.
"Lingbing, come over here."
Following the direction of the mental fluctuations, Huo Yuhao saw Dai Yun'er sneakily waving at him from a corner of the rest area.
She was still dressed in the same disguise as when they first met, with a baseball cap pulled low and a mask covering her face completely.
Huo Yuhao felt a sense of helplessness.
He thought for a moment and realized that if he pretended not to hear, the fearless princess would probably rush over at him in the next second.
Given Dai Yun'er's identity, things would only become more complicated if she were recognized here.
So Huo Yuhao had no choice but to get up and walk towards that corner.
Seeing that the white-haired boy was indeed walking towards her, Dai Yun'er's lips, hidden under her mask, involuntarily turned up, and her bright eyes curved into crescent shapes.
As Zhu Ying was right, Ling Bing still cares about me.
"Your Highness, is there something urgent you need from me?"
Huo Yuhao walked up to her, looked at the petite girl in front of him, and asked gently.
"Ugh, how many times have I told you?"
Dai Yun'er grumbled unhappily, "Given our relationship, you can just call me Yun'er. Calling me Your Highness is too formal."
As she spoke, she blinked her bright, large eyes, her voice full of affection, and continued:
"Lingbing, come with me. There are too many people around here, and it's not easy to talk to anyone."
Before Huo Yuhao could speak, Dai Yun'er had already reached out her small hand, forcefully grabbed his hand, and pulled him quickly in another direction.
They hadn't walked far when they arrived at another relatively spacious rest area.
The place was completely different from the noisy environment outside. It was much quieter, and there were only eight comfortable-looking chairs inside, which were not full at the moment.
Dai Yun'er tiptoed closer to Huo Yuhao's ear and whispered, "Ling Bing, this is the exclusive waiting area for the eight Heavenly Kings of our Monster Academy. Aren't you aiming for the top ten in the individual competition?"
Therefore, you must take them seriously. Apart from Sister Ye Zhi, who is a support-type Soul Master and doesn't participate in the individual competition, everyone else is a formidable opponent you might encounter on the arena.
At this point, she blinked her bright eyes and chuckled, "But with Yun'er here, none of this is a problem. I'll tell you all their personal information in detail."
Especially my fourth brother, I know his martial soul, soul skills, and even the effects of his battle armor very well.
Looking at the girl beside him, with her little chest puffed out and her tail almost pointing to the sky, her face full of "Praise me quickly!", Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly, and in the end he could only cooperate and reply.
"That's really too much trouble for you, Yun'er."
"Oh, it's not troublesome at all."
Dai Yun'er waved her hand dismissively, then straightened her back proudly and said with a silly grin, "I'm already very happy to be able to help you."
This intimate conversation, seemingly oblivious to others, naturally caught the attention of people nearby.
On the right side of the waiting area, Dai Yueyan was talking quietly with a handsome and refined young man. He had noticed the commotion from the corner of his eye.
Looking at her precious little sister, she almost shamelessly pulled the white-haired boy, whose face was full of reluctance, over.
Especially Dai Yun'er's intimate posture, as if she wanted to hang herself on him, made his forehead twitch almost imperceptibly.
Seeing the same scene, Su Mu chuckled and teased, "Yue Yan, is that the boy that Yun'er thinks about day and night?"
In terms of appearance, he's miles ahead of the boss. Even I'm ashamed of my own lack of charisma.
