Chapter 49: Traveling
"This group of bandits calls themselves the Death Messenger. It is said that their leader is a powerful Evil Soul Master. Our mission this time is to wipe them out, leaving no one behind!"
Ma Xiaotao's powerful voice echoed through the mountains.
"Death Messenger? Are you saying you'll rely on these youngsters?"
Electrolux was quite puzzled in the sea of consciousness.
In his view, aside from that slovenly old man, they were all relatively young people.
The strongest among them were only Zhang Lexuan, Mu Jin, and Ma Xiaotao.
That's right, the Inner Court Senior Sister was personally leading the team to Star Luo City to participate in the Grand Competition.
Mu Jin was there because of the Reserve Team.
Xiao Xiao, Ning Tian, Lan Susu, and Lan Luoluo were all familiar with her.
Huo Yuhao was also familiar with her.
Of course, Huo Yuhao knew why the Academy wanted Mu Jin to lead the team.
Mu Jin had picked Huo Yuhao up from Shrek Outer City and brought him back to the Academy, showing him great kindness.
In the eyes of outsiders, Huo Yuhao was also quite obedient to Mu Jin's teachings.
As the teacher leading the Grand Competition team, Mu Jin was the most suitable choice.
As for Zhang Lexuan, Huo Yuhao wasn't sure.
The Senior Sister was too distant and dedicated to Cultivating; Huo Yuhao hadn't seen Zhang Lexuan more than a few times all year, so how could they be familiar?
Zhang Lexuan was an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo, capable of briefly contending with a newly advanced Nine-Ring Titled Douluo.
This was all thanks to her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone.
Not every Titled Douluo can absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Generally speaking, ordinary Soul Masters without a Super Martial Soul or special Bloodline cannot withstand High-Year Soul Rings before reaching the Titled Douluo stage.
The limit is usually seventy or eighty thousand years.
But upon reaching Titled Douluo, a Soul Master's physical quality undergoes a qualitative leap.
They can then absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
But a Titled Douluo already has nine Soul Rings, so how can they attach another one?
This is quite an unsolvable problem.
Soul Douluo: I want to absorb a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.
Body: First, Breakthrough to Titled Douluo.
Soul Douluo: I want to Breakthrough to Titled Douluo.
Body: Go find a random Soul Ring to absorb first.
The maximum year limit for a Soul Master's Soul Ring is inherently difficult to define, varying from person to person. There is absolutely no such thing as a Theoretical Soul Ring Limit.
Ma Xiaotao and Mu Jin are merely Soul Emperors. In Electrolux's view, shouldn't the Death Messenger be figures who represent the peak of worldly combat power, invincible below the gods? Should children be sent to fight them?
Seeing what Electrolux was thinking, Huo Yuhao suppressed a smile and communicated: "Master, those Death Messenger aren't strong figures; they're just small-time Soul Kings."
"Huh! Are people in this plane so arrogant in their self-designations?"
Electrolux was shocked.
On the Holy Demon Continent, wouldn't that be as ridiculous as a Fifth-Tier Magus calling himself a God of Magic?
"Master, the Death Messenger do have the capital to be arrogant."
Huo Yuhao recalled the glorious achievement of how a single Soul King, under the supervision of one Super Douluo, two Soul Emperors, and six Soul Kings, managed to severely wound most of the Soul Kings and Soul Emperors and kill one Soul King.
In the Original Work, without Huo Yuhao present, he really would have managed to escape.
Unfortunately, his luck was poor; out of the entire group, he chose the most terrifying one as a hostage.
Huo Yuhao naturally had to prevent this accident.
But he wouldn't stick his neck out and point at Elder Xuan's nose and curse, saying, "You Old Immortal, you send students to meet the God of Death every day, and now that you've met the Death Messenger, it's like you've found your father, eager to sacrifice all the students."
If he really said that, Xuan Zi might not punish Huo Yuhao, but he definitely wouldn't believe anything he said.
It was about attitude, but if Xuan Zi insisted on having his own way, that would be Huo Yuhao's chance to win people over.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Dai Yueheng, who was thinking about how to quickly lead the Reserve Team on their journey.
It's time to listen to the lullaby of death, White Tiger!
You're really getting off easy, dying cleanly.
Dai Yueheng shivered inexplicably and looked around, but found nothing.
Could it be that his foolish younger brother had done something wrong again?
Very likely!
Dai Huabin was his full-blood brother. Although a Bloody Battle between the two was inevitable, Dai Yueheng, as the elder brother, had spoiled his younger brother since childhood and would help clean up any mess or dirty deed he committed.
What worried Dai Yueheng was that Dai Huabin might have provoked a student with connections at Shrek Academy.
In the Star Luo Empire, besides the Emperor, no one could touch the White Tiger, but at Shrek, what did the White Tiger Dukes Mansion count for?
How many Super Douluo does the White Tiger Dukes Mansion have?
Hmm, when they return from the Grand Competition, he'd teach Dai Huabin a lesson again and make him restrain his temper.
"Yuhao, hurry up! Sister Xiaotao will fly you there!"
Ma Xiaotao spread her crimson wings, looking heroic and energetic.
Although, Huo Yuhao always had a sense of déjà vu, like the "Hey chick, hop on, bro will take you for a ride" pickup line he'd seen in his previous life.
"Junior Brother Yuhao, I can also take you traveling."
Ling Luochen also leaned over to say this.
Ma Xiaotao immediately narrowed her Phoenix eyes, her pink pupils tinged with crimson.
"Ling Luochen, you..."
Huo Yuhao quickly reached out and covered her mouth.
He knew Ma Xiaotao too well; when she got emotional, she'd blurt out anything.
"Sister Xiaotao, Sister Luochen, my traveling speed isn't slow. Why don't you two take the poor Junior Sisters? Their cultivation is still low, and we can't just let Senior Brother Yao and the others carry them, right?"
Yao Haoxuan, Chen Zifeng...!
"Hmph!"
Ma Xiaotao glanced at Ling Luochen disdainfully.
What capital do you have to compare yourself to this mother?
My figure is better than yours, my legs are longer, and the mountains on my chest could smother you!
What are you going to use to compete with me?
Ling Luochen remained silent, merely agreeing to Huo Yuhao in a soft voice, and went to take the Reserve Team's Junior Sisters on the road.
Gongyang Mo was on the side, his eyes sparkling like stars.
Sisters~~! This is too good to ship!
However, Xiaotao's rank is still a bit low; she can't compare to Ling Luochen. I need to find a chance to give her some pointers.
Intense emotional fluctuations appeared on Chen Zifeng's stern face.
Gongyang Mo beside him, lost in thought, a grown man standing right there, wriggling more vigorously than a maggot.
He retreated several steps.
Finally, Zhang Lexuan took Lan Susu, flying through the air the entire way.
Ma Xiaotao pulled the young girl Xiao Xiao, spreading her wings and soaring.
However, judging by Xiao Xiao's screams, one could tell how thrilling Ma Xiaotao's flight was.
Mu Jin took Lan Luoluo.
Ling Luochen and Xi Xi, two female Soul Kings, took turns carrying Ning Tian on their journey.
The Inner Court Disciples, excluding Ma Xiaotao, Zhang Lexuan, and Gongyang Mo, all started running quickly across the ground.
A mirror image flickered in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and Ma Xiaotao's third Soul skills, Phoenix Winged Flight, was released.
Huge fiery wings carried Huo Yuhao into the air. In a few breaths, he caught up to Ma Xiaotao, flying wing-to-wing with her.
The sharp edges of Ma Xiaotao's eyes instantly softened.
Xiao Xiao, whom she was carrying, couldn't hide the envy in her eyes.
Of course, the same look was present in one, two... five others... When young people admire love, girls naturally fall for the most outstanding boy.
In the Outer Court, the girls who liked Huo Yuhao had formed several Fan Clubs.
Although Brother Huo doesn't often stay in the Outer Court, the legend of 'Bro' has always circulated there.
