A Limit Douluo's speed is very fast if he travels at full speed.
Even without activating his Martial Soul, Long Xiaoyao's speed is still slightly faster than a Title Douluo-level agility-type Soul Master through his control of spatial rules and use of Soul Power.
Moreover, he is more durable than agility-type Soul Masters.
Many residents of the Sun Moon Empire looked up and saw a black streak of light flying rapidly towards the Douluo Three Kingdoms in the sky.
Some residents used the Magic Network to photograph the streak of light in the sky, then posted it on the Magic Network with eye-catching titles to attract traffic and earn Dream Coins.
The enthusiastic members planted in the Sun Moon Empire were keenly aware that it might be the Sun Moon Empire's secret weapon.
So they quickly used various detection Soul Guidance Devices to record the energy characteristics of the black streak of light, and used some Soul Guidance Devices modified by Huo Yuhao to analyze its energy waveform.
"Quick, hand over the data report!"
An enthusiastic researcher wearing a white coat took the data report, his mental power rapidly working in his mind, using Fourier transform to complete the conversion.
"The energy level is nine, approaching the theoretical level of ten."
"According to the detectors deployed in the Mingdou Mountains, the energy wavelength is close to the dark attribute."
"So it can't be a soul tool!"
"A level ten soul tool simply doesn't exist."
"It's also impossible for the Sun Moon Empire to test-fire it so casually."
"It should be a titled Douluo powerhouse, probably the legendary Limit Douluo!"
"Report the data to the Passion Headquarters, saying that a level ninety-nine dark attribute Limit Douluo is heading towards the Heavenly Soul Empire." "
Based on the flight trajectory, it is expected to arrive at the Heavenly Dou Plain in an hour."
"The probability of the target being Xilu City is ten percent, and the probability of Shrek Academy is eighty percent!"
The researcher's pen moved at an almost blurry speed across the report paper, recording all the data and various analytical results.
Then, the experimental report was transmitted to the Passion Headquarters in Xilu City via a soul tool fax machine.
After seeing this urgent message, the members of the intelligence department immediately took it to the top-floor office of Passion.
Huo Yuhao was leisurely drinking cola in his office, a chilled cola he had secretly hidden under his desk.
All the cola in the house was confiscated by Su Tong, who claimed it was unhealthy.
This immediately put on a pained mask for Huo Yuhao, who kept explaining to Su Tong that cola wasn't junk food for a Soul Master and
wouldn't cause any health problems.
Su Tong wouldn't listen and replaced all the cola with expensive tea, supposedly even rarer, like spirit herbs.
But Huo Yuhao didn't like tea at all; he preferred strong beverages!
Drinking a pot of tea occasionally was fine, but drinking it every day was out of the question.
Left with no other option, he could only sneakily drink cola in his office, knowing that if Su Tong found out, he'd likely face another round of complaints.
Sometimes I really don't know if I've found a disciple or a mother.
When the intelligence personnel knocked on the office door, the wooden door creaked open.
Huo Yuhao put away his cola, sat up straight, and used his telekinesis to open the door, saying to the intelligence personnel,
"What is it?"
The intelligence personnel bowed respectfully to Huo Yuhao, then handed him a document, saying,
"An urgent message from the Passionate Members of the Sun Moon Empire!"
Huo Yuhao became interested and immediately opened the document to read.
With his powerful mental strength, he quickly finished reading.
"Oh?"
"A level 99 Limit Douluo with dark attributes?"
"Who could it be? It's hard to guess."
A mysterious smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face as he said to the intelligence personnel beside him,
"I understand the situation."
"Don't worry."
"Everything as usual, continue with normal work."
Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, the intelligence personnel bowed again, then left the office, closing the door behind them.
After the intelligence personnel left, Huo Yuhao logged into his "Yege" account on the Magic Network and directly accessed the "Light Dragon God's" chat history.
As the creator of the Magic Network and the highest interpreter of the underlying protocol, accessing chat history was easy for him.
If he wanted, he could access the search records of every intelligent life form on the entire Douluo Continent. He could
even conduct 24/7 surveillance!
However, Huo Gushi was kind-hearted and generally wouldn't do this
unless the other party wanted to cause trouble or target Huo Yuhao.
"Oh."
"So that's how it is."
"Mu En is asking Long Xiaoyao for help."
"No wonder that old guy is so excited, he's going to see his long-lost best friend."
"If either of them had a woman, Ye Xishui would have disappeared long ago."
"My teacher whom I've never met, and Long Xiaoyao, have been played with by a woman his whole life."
"Love is the biggest taboo for becoming stronger!"
"If I had been born a few hundred years earlier, I might have sent you [Sister Yu's Photo Album]."
"Speaking of which, what would happen if I fed Long Xiaoyao Mother's Drowning Spring?"
"Would Mu En be tempted?"
Huo Yuhao's face showed a strange smile, but it was just a thought.
Unless Long Xiaoyao came to Xilu City, he had no way to feed Long Xiaoyao Mother's Drowning Spring.
Even if he did, it would be a special spring water that was a 2:1 mixture of other colored spring water and white restoration spring water.
It would only change his gender, not seal his strength, since the other party's strength still had great value.
This ratio and effect were thanks to the voluntary sacrifice of every D-level personnel.
Huo Yuhao placed the document under the table. Since Long Xiaoyao meant no harm, he didn't need to bother.
He then took out a large stack of technical reports from his storage soul tool.
These were the specific technical details about Soul Spirit Contracts and their dissolution, written by Roman.
Huo Yuhao needed to calculate these technical details to ensure accuracy; it concerned the development of civilization and couldn't afford any mistakes.
Since Merlin arrived, he had conveniently delegated some work to that shrewd Merlin, letting him, well, she, also contribute.
Currently, the mass-produced monkey version of the Talisman for Breaking the Laws of All Things has begun its first experiment.
It is expected that this technology will be successfully perfected in the near future.
The new technology called Soul Spirit will also officially appear before the world.
...
On a hill not far from the east gate of Shrek City.
Mu En basked in the sun, awaiting the arrival of his old friend.
His eyes were fixed on the horizon, observing the movement of every white cloud, trying to spot a black streak in the azure sky.
Soon, a joyful smile spread across Mu En's face, and his body leaned slightly forward under the influence of his soul power.
In the distance, a black streak of light hurtled towards Mu En at incredible speed.
That familiar power stirred a sense of nostalgia in Mu En's eyes, and he released the soul power aura of the Holy Light Dragon, informing Long Xiaoyao of his location.
The black streak of light paused briefly in mid-air before rushing directly towards Mu En. The streak of light
landed directly in front of Mu En, raising a thick cloud of dust. As the dust settled, a tall, silver-haired old man appeared before Mu En.
Seeing this, Mu En laughed and said,
"Long time no see, old friend."
"It's been decades since we last met!"
Long Xiaoyao also laughed and said,
"Yes!"
"I didn't expect you to still be alive."
"As expected of you!"
Mu En's lips trembled as he chuckled and said,
"You're still alive."
"How could I possibly be dead?"
"Do you remember this place?"
"This is where I defeated you back then."
Long Xiaoyao looked around and saw some cracks left by his dragon claws not far away.
He couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Oh?"
"So this is it."
"Good, good, good."
"Back then, I was indeed slightly inferior, but if we were to fight again now, I wouldn't lose."
That's what he said, but Long Xiaoyao didn't want to fight Mu En at all.
They had fought enough when they were young, and they knew each other inside and out, having seen all sorts of tricks.
Besides, Mu En was now lying in a wheelchair, and Long Xiaoyao had no will to fight.
If he could, Long Xiaoyao just wanted to hug Mu En tightly and vent all the longing he had felt over the years.
However, he was afraid he might suddenly burst into tears. If he cried in front of Mu En, Long Xiaoyao felt he might as well flee Douluo Continent that very night!
In front of Mu En, Ye Xishui was practically forgotten; he completely forgot that someone at home was waiting for him to come back for dinner.
"Ye Xishui?" (Without emotion)
"Never mind, how about taking me for a drink?"
"I haven't been to Shrek City in ages."
"You have to take me to try the best meat and the best wine here!"
Long Xiaoyao stroked his beard, looking at Mu En with a smile.
Mu En pointed to Shrek City behind him and said,
"Don't I know your preferences?"
"Let's go, I already had someone reserve a table at Oscar Restaurant."
"Tonight, we won't leave until we're drunk!"
Long Xiaoyao's face showed anticipation; good food was one of his few pleasures.
"I've heard so much about Oscar Restaurant, I'm sure to have a good taste today!"
"Hey old Mu, can you even move like that?"
"Should I push you?"
Mu En snorted, waving his finger at him.
"Who do you think you are?"
"Watch out, you won't be as fast as me!"
The two entered Shrek Academy side-by-side, then passed through the academy's gates and headed towards the restaurant.
On the streets of Shrek City, Long Xiaoyao looked around, nodding occasionally.
The streets of Shrek City were filled with soul-guided streetlights, and the surrounding businesses were also beginning to use soul-guided devices extensively.
The whole city had a distinctly cyberpunk feel.
"Haven't been to Shrek City in decades."
"It's developed quite well here!"
"Soul tools are so common now."
"It's almost catching up with Mingdu."
Mu En became interested and asked Long Xiaoyao,
"Have you been in the Sun Moon Empire all these years?"
"How's the development of soul tools there?"
Long Xiaoyao shook his head and said,
"Well, since we parted, I've traveled all over the continent, and later went to live in the Sun Moon Empire."
"The Sun Moon Empire only uses soul tools on a large scale in its major cities."
"After all, soul tools are expensive."
Mu En keenly gleaned the key information from this.
"It seems the Sun Moon Empire hasn't started the soul tool revolution yet!"
"This is an opportunity for Shrek Academy!"
Because soul tool machines are only produced in the Tian Dou Plain, and the Sun Moon Empire holds the core technology, the orders from the entire Douluo Three Kingdoms' merchant guilds are booked for three years in advance.
The Sun Moon Empire has no chance to buy soul tool machines.
However, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen are helping to research high-precision soul tool machines in the factory.
If they return to the Sun Moon Empire, they might persuade Jing Hongchen and start large-scale soul tool production, thus promoting the soul tool revolution.
Huo Yuhao's goal was to delay the Sun Moon Empire's revolution in soul tools and maintain a balance of power among the four nations, preventing any one side from becoming too strong.
Currently, Huo Yuhao did not want a large-scale war on the continent.
Chaos would only create opportunities for the Holy Spirit Cult and Tang Buddha.
The Asura God's position was directly linked to slaughter.
According to Otto, the Holy Spirit Cult's Holy God and the Asura God were 90% similar.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao chose to balance the power, then let Otto and his group infiltrate and control these empires, ensuring the continent's situation wouldn't explode.
Huo Yuhao had complete trust in Otto's abilities; in terms of political maneuvering, he was a force to be reckoned with!
Controlling the latrine was far safer than blowing it up.
