Pioneer Applies to Deploy Nuclear Weapons!

Chapter 11: The Pioneer Requests a Nuclear Strike!

On the road out of the Soul Hunting Forest, Long Weiguo found Huo Si's actions deeply baffling.

"Sir, since you have bad blood with that Yu Xiaogang fellow, why not just deal with them? Instead, you even pointed that kid toward a century-level soul beast."

In the back of his mind, Huo Si couldn't help but recall the black-robed figure that had flashed across a tree just before they left Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. In that instant, a chill had run down his spine, and every hair on his body had stood on end.

He lowered his head, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.

It wasn't as if he hadn't considered killing Tang San and Yu Xiaogang outright to seize total control over the trajectory of this world.

But reality told him it was impossible—at least not with his current strength, and certainly not before the Dragon Kingdom could transport their true heavy weaponry over.

In his previous life, the circumstances surrounding Tang San hunting a soul beast for his first soul ring had always been suspicious.

Coincidentally, a Datura Snake had appeared on the outskirts of the Soul Hunting Forest, and coincidentally, it was just over four hundred years old—the exact limit Tang San could absorb for his first ring.

Coincidentally, it was already injured, as if it had been driven there.

There was no need to overthink it; this was clearly the work of Tang Hao acting from the shadows.

After all, in the original story, while Tang Hao appeared indifferent on the surface, he had never once left Tang San's side while the boy worked at the blacksmith shop or suffered through his time at Shrek Academy.

"We have bad blood, but it hasn't reached the point of needing his life."

"It was just a bit of mockery. If they look down on me, I'll just grow stronger and mock them back later."

"As for the soul ring recommendation, it was indeed a century-level beast, but only a century-level one."

Huo Si's lips curled into a smile.

After his team had cleared the Soul Hunting Forest several times and snatched another batch on their way out, the three-to-six-hundred-year-old soul beasts within the forest were effectively wiped out.

There were still century-level beasts left, but only those around one or two hundred years old; otherwise, they would have to go hunt seven or eight-hundred-year-old ones.

Thinking of Tang Hao, a deep sense of wariness flashed in Huo Si's eyes. This was a man who dared to hammer a Pope.

He hadn't really bullied little Tang San, had he? He had even healed the Grandmaster. At most, he didn't get along with the man. Although he had snatched Tang San's soul ring, he had discovered that beast first, and he had even pointed the boy toward another century-level option.

"Damn it, we've been spotted. We're returning to the Dragon Kingdom immediately—prepare a nuclear strike!"

The moment Huo Si uttered those words, the expressions of Long Weiguo and Chu Youwei shifted violently.

In the next instant, before either could react, the Plane Star Gate opened, and the three of them vanished from the secluded bend in the road.

Huo Si didn't need to eliminate Tang Hao or Tang San; what he needed was the ability to guarantee his own survival in the Douluo World.

He needed to be able to speak as an equal to every powerhouse in this world, to have the option to flip the table when necessary, and to possess the confidence to say, "I don't eat beef."

Seeing Tang San and meeting Tang Hao had sparked a new idea in Huo Si's mind.

Xiao Wu—the big sister of Nuoding City, a hundred-thousand-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit from the Star Dou Great Forest in human form, who also had two hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast lackeys.

If he could take down Xiao Wu, he would be gifted two hundred-thousand-year-old soul rings.

Only after solving the problem of Tang Hao would he be able to reap greater benefits.

Since his own intellect couldn't solve the problem, he would simply take it to the Dragon Kingdom's Think Tank and let them devise a solution.

When in doubt, rely on the state.

Douluo Plane Research Institute.

As the dazzling Plane Star Gate flickered into existence, the researchers—who had been busy extracting soul beast serum, studying their anatomy and strength, and even slicing up a beast to research its soul ring—froze in their tracks.

"It's... it's... it's the Pioneer!"

"Something's wrong, something's wrong! Their expressions are all wrong!!"

"What happened? Did some kind of accident occur in the Douluo World!!!"

A crowd swarmed them instantly. Then, under the bewildered gazes of everyone present, Huo Si spoke slowly, delivering a statement that shook the entire institute.

"Planar Pioneer Huo Si, requesting the deployment of a nuclear weapon!"

Bang!

Inside the Douluo Plane Command Center, the moment Huo Si's request came through, Elder Long dropped everything he was doing and rushed toward the institute.

"Little Huo, what on earth happened to make you request a nuclear strike?"

Chu Youwei and Long Weiguo exchanged glances, both feeling that something was off.

But considering Huo Si's usual style, the fact that he now required a nuclear weapon to protect himself left them uncertain, and they dared not utter a single wrong word.

After all, this concerned whether the Dragon Kingdom could truly master the power of an entire world. If anything were to happen to Huo Si, they would be the sinners of the Dragon Kingdom.

"We were spotted by a Titled Douluo, and not just any—one of the elite among them."

The single sentence sent a tremor through the entire institute. Even Elder Ke's eyes widened in disbelief.

"The attention of a supreme powerhouse of this world."

"Regardless of whether his attitude toward us is good or bad, his appearance is a threat to the Planar Pioneers of our Dragon Kingdom... The uncontrollable factors are simply too great."

"The most important thing now is how to deal with him, not to dwell on how he was provoked."

Elder Long frowned. After careful consideration, he finally caught sight of his good-for-nothing grandson standing beside Huo Si, who quickly lowered his head upon seeing him look over. His fists clenched instantly in anger.

"Request approved!"

"Effective immediately, mobilize 'Truth' and all types of missiles, including intercontinental, long-range, medium-range, and short-range missiles..."

"Have the Plane Guardian Army ready to provide support at a moment's notice!"

"The Planar Pioneers are the bridge for our Dragon Kingdom; they are the future of our nation as we enter a brand-new era. Absolutely nothing must go wrong!"

When Chu Youwei and Long Weiguo heard Elder Long approve such an unreasonable request, they were instantly dumbfounded.

They had no idea what had happened; they only knew that while they were sitting in the carriage, Huo Si had suddenly decided to request nuclear missiles.

It was one thing to be brought back directly, but now the request for nuclear missiles had actually been granted.

Seeing that Elder Long had approved the request, Huo Si, the current supreme commander of the Douluo World plane, nodded.

"Good. Next, I will tell you about this Titled Douluo who poses a potential threat to me."

"He was once the successor to the number one sect in the Douluo World. That sect boasted two stars in one generation, and as the Haotian Douluo, he once hammered the Pope of the Spirit Hall, the continent's premier force."

Hearing Huo Si's description, everyone present felt their scalps tingle instantly.

"As for what comes next, you should already know. Didn't I have you go find a book called Douluo Continent?"

"Tang San is his son, though that is not the main point."

"The point is that Tang San is about to gain a younger sister, Xiao Wu, who is actually a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit in human form. Killing her, or having her voluntarily sacrifice herself, will grant a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone."

"Her two younger brothers are also hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts. The Azure Bull Python is particularly suitable for my martial soul, and the Titan Giant Ape is not bad either; it can increase the size and hardness of my martial soul."
