Chapter 851: Chapter 202 - Ambush_1
"Your lifetime?"
"Does that mean we have no hope in this lifetime?"
Ye Yulin's eyes widened fiercely, quite intimidating.
"There's nothing I can do about it..."
Qin Xiao spread his hands helplessly.
"Can't you think of a solution?" Ye Yulin said unwillingly, "If in my lifetime I don't get to experience the taste of a Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device, even in death I would not rest in peace..."
Qin Xiao: "..."
Was it really that serious?
If he had some backbone, perhaps he would have already invented a Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device.
To the side, Jing Hongchen also nodded in agreement, "You're right. If I can't use a Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device once in my lifetime, even death wouldn't bring me peace."
These two guys were really too much.
Qin Xiao reluctantly turned his gaze to Kong Deming.
"Little guy, if you have any requests, just mention them. Don't let some tedious matters delay your invention of the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device.
If the Human-shaped Soul Guidance Device could be quickly popularized for any Soul Master to use, it would bring significant changes for our Sun-Moon Empire."
Kong Deming paused before adding, "Of course, the things I just mentioned are from an official standpoint, personally, I share the same opinion as those two..."
Qin Xiao: "..."
Forget it.
There's nothing more to say.
"That said..."
"I just remembered I have something to attend to outside. Do you three want to leave, or would you like to leave?"
Qin Xiao asked tentatively.
Of course, this was just a superficial inquiry, but in reality, he was already giving the three guests a hint to leave.
It was hard for him to get anything done with these three around.
"Is that so?"
"We were just about to leave too."
"What a coincidence?"
"Together?"
"Yes, together."
Qin Xiao said, leaving the laboratory with the three top-level Soul Masters.
Outside, the sunlight was bright and warm.
After several days of not stepping out, the sun on his face made Qin Xiao feel as if he were in a different world.
"It's really good to go out and change the mood..."
He said, walking toward the exit of the academy.
"Hey, the outside world might be great, but don't get too attached. Don't forget what's most important," Ye Yulin couldn't help but remind.
However.
Qin Xiao just showed him the back of his head, completely disregarding what he said.
"No, I must keep an eye on him."
Watching Qin Xiao's receding figure, Ye Yulin hesitated for a moment before following.
But he didn't want to monitor Qin Xiao's every move; he wanted to protect him.
Because he felt Qin Xiao was too important.
"It's okay, let him be."
Kong Deming stretched out a hand to stop the anxious Ye Yulin.
"This is Ming City, the capital of our Sun-Moon Empire, where countless strong figures reside. How many dare to act rashly here?"
Kong Deming said in a deep voice.
His voice was filled with great confidence.
However.
Upon hearing these words, Jing Hongchen's expression became extremely peculiar.
"What? Do you have an issue with what I said?"
Kong Deming furrowed his brows, his expression somewhat displeased.
This old rascal was undermining him.
"Well, there are some things I'd rather not mention, but now they can't be avoided."
Jing Hongchen smiled awkwardly, "Elder Kong, could it be you've forgotten about that recent incident when the Body Sect ambushed Mingde Hall?"
Upon hearing this, Kong Deming's face stiffened.
Indeed, he really shouldn't have mentioned that.
He had truly forgotten about that event.
Firstly, he hadn't experienced the incident personally, and although he was aware of it, the impression wasn't deep-seated in his mind.
Secondly, the concept that the Sun-Moon Empire was invincible had always been ingrained in him.
An empire that stood firm against three nations, wasn't that impressive?
It had naturally led him to believe that no one would dare invade the Sun-Moon Empire.
Only the Sun-Moon Empire would invade others.
"Ahem, Hall Master, I think since the incident has already happened, we should let bygones be bygones. There's no need to bring it up…"
Seeing this, Ye Yulin couldn't help but speak up, easing Kong Deming's embarrassment.
"Indeed."
Kong Deming gave Ye Yulin a deep look, thinking that the Big Bald Head was being quite perceptive at the moment.
He continued, "Even if the Body Sect's experts come again, it doesn't matter. Everyone participated in the creation of Qin Xiao's human-shaped soul tool, so you all know its combat ability.
We've armed him to the teeth, and his combat power is outstanding.
I don't mean to belittle the Body Sect, but if they were to come now, in one-on-one combat, how many of them could stand against Qin Xiao?
If Qin Xiao really encountered these people, he would definitely be able to defend himself. At worst, he could stall for time until we come to his aid."
As Kong Deming spoke, the others also nodded in agreement.
"That's true."
"Let's not even talk about the Body Sect. In the Sun-Moon Empire, I doubt we could find 10 people who can reliably overpower Qin Xiao," Ye Yulin said earnestly.
Kong Deming pondered for a moment, "You're still too confident. I think seven or eight is already an overestimation. If he really went all out and fought to the death with someone, that would be truly terrifying."
The words "fought to the death" sent shivers down everyone's spine.
Yes.
Qin Xiao wasn't to be underestimated now.
The man was like a walking arsenal.
If he really went all out without any regard, he could easily annihilate a city single-handedly.
...
"Xuanyu, Blood Fiend, are we, three Titled Douluo-level experts, really going to waste our time lying in ambush outside the academy all day?"
Outside the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy, three figures hid in the darkness.
One of them muttered discontentedly, "I've been a Titled Douluo for so many years, always upfront and honorable. I've never stooped to such sneaky acts.
We've been squatting here for several days, and we haven't even seen a glimpse of Huo Yuhao. I reckon he might have already fled.
After all, he has to consider the Sun-Moon Empire's retaliation.
I don't think waiting here aimlessly is the answer."
Hearing this, Xuanyu Douluo frowned, "Then do you have a better plan?"
"In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are futile.
Even if Huo Yuhao has somehow obtained the combat power of a Titled Douluo, we are three Titled Douluo-level experts, each of whom is far stronger than Duke Bai Hu.
If the three of us join forces, we can directly storm into the Royal Soul Academy and eliminate that scourge, Huo Yuhao."
The Herculean Douluo lived up to his name.
If he could resort to force, he would prefer not to think too much.
"Hmph, directly storm into the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy?"
Blood Fiend Douluo scoffed, "I hate to say that you're all brawn and no brain, but think about it carefully, will that really work?
Even if we kill Huo Yuhao, what good would that do?
Would we be able to get out alive?
The academy is full of strong combatants, there are likely several level 9 Soul Masters, not to mention that old fellow Jing Hongchen.
Don't think that just because the Body Sect was able to raid Mingde Hall and escape unscathed, we could do the same... You need to recognize our own strength. I'm not willing to kill someone and lose my own life in the process."
