Backstabbing Gu Yuena, Secretly Competing Behind Everyone's Backs, Huh?

Gongyang Mo was in a dilemma. Although he really wanted an Invincible Barrier, seeing that Ma Xiaotao was determined not to let him borrow it from Ning Tian, he could only give Ning Tian an apologetic look and give up the idea.

Ma Xiaotao raised her chin high, looking down at Ning Tian with a superior air, wanting to know what else this timid junior could say.

Ning Tian didn't say anything more, but just gave Ma Xiaotao a deep look, hoping that when they actually met that Death God Envoy later, Ma Xiaotao would still be this proud.

Among these people, Ning Tian was only familiar with Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu from the same class. After politely asking Dai Huabin if he needed the Invincible Barrier, Dai Huabin glanced at his older brother Dai Yueheng and decisively refused.

His goal is to inherit Dai Hao's title of White Tiger Duke. He cannot be inferior to Dai Yueheng in anything, and the same applies to upholding the pride of Soul Master.

Ning Tian didn't care at all about Dai Huabin's rejection; in fact, she never thought she would have a good relationship with Dai Huabin from the beginning.

Huo Yuhao once wrote in his Diary that Dai Huabin was one of the murderers who caused his mother's death and was destined to perish along with the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. There was no point in befriending Dai Huabin.

However, Zhu Lu was different. As a fellow girl, Ning Tian and Zhu Lu had a fairly good relationship, so he didn't allow her to refuse. He directly took out an Invincible Barrier and forcibly stuffed it into Zhu Lu's hand.

"Don't refuse it, just keep it in case."

Zhu Lu could tell that Ning Tian's concern was sincere. She pursed her lips and thanked Ning Tian Ning Tian simply patted her shoulder and didn't say anything more.

Xuan Zi rolled his eyes at the scene and waved his hand impatiently.

"Alright, alright, stop wasting time. Let's set off now, kill that Death God Envoy first, then head to Star Luo City!"

Huo Yuhao blinked, looking at Gu Yuena in front of him with surprise on his face.

"You mean, you've already reached the level of Rank Eight Soul Engineer?"

Huo Yuhao was stunned.

He had never heard of Gu Yuena learning how to make Soul Tool from anyone. He only knew that all the girls, including Gu Yuena, started to come into contact with Soul Tool after enrolling in the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy. They had no resistance to this technology that was destined to lead the future, but instead learned how to use it properly.

Developing and manufacturing new Soul Tool does require a high level of talent, coupled with a wildly imaginative mind, but learning how to use them is completely effortless.

However, Huo Yuhao never expected that Gu Yuena would secretly learn how to make Soul Tool!

Could it be that this Silver Dragon King is feeling threatened and wants to use this method to have more common topics with me, while deliberately keeping it a secret and secretly competing with others?

Gu Yuena was quite satisfied with Huo Yuhao's bewildered and shocked reaction. She had originally planned to tell Huo Yuhao after he reached the level of Rank Nine Soul Engineer, so that he could ask her any questions he might have in the future.

However, his previous hugging and cuddling with Snow Empress eventually provoked Gu Yuena, making Gu Yuena realize that her strategy was completely wrong!

If they continue to keep it a secret and remain the sixth brother, after a while, the brother-sister relationship between Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress might really change!

In that situation, it would be extremely difficult to turn the tide.

Therefore, leaving the game early is the best choice.

Although Gu Yuena was secretly pleased, she maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface.

"What's wrong? He's just Rank Eight Soul Engineer, what's so surprising about that?"

Huo Yuhao was speechless.

Gu Yuena has really gone astray; her pretentious act is now so skillful.

If Xiao Hongchen had even a tenth of Gu Yuena's skill, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly during the selection of contestants.

"Forehead"

Huo Yuhao scratched his head, deliberately trying to make Gu Yuena break her composure.

"It's not that I'm surprised, I'm just a little confused. Why are you suddenly so interested in Soul Tool?"

"Because I feel that Soul Tool are very special, and I vaguely feel that level nine is not the limit of Soul Tool, so I want to see if I can get some improvement in Soul Tool."

Gu Yuena really wanted to roll her eyes at Huo Yuhao. If it weren't for wanting to have more things in common with him, would she need to secretly research how to make Soul Tool?

In order to improve her Soul Tool skills more quickly, Gu Yuena secretly observed Huo Yuhao's techniques with her powerful Spiritual Power, which was unparalleled in the Douluo Continent, after applying for Laboratory. Combined with her own comprehension and the teaching materials and demonstrations of various Soul Tool in the academy, she finally reached the current level of Rank Eight Soul Engineer.

The mighty Silver Dragon King, the Soul Beast Co-Lord, did something like this just to get close to a man. Was it easy for her?

But Huo Yuhao did something quite different. He actually hugged and kissed Snow Empress in front of everyone. If he didn't have strong self-control, Gu Yuena would have really given Huo Yuhao a thorough combat training session!

However, faced with Huo Yuhao's question, Gu Yuena was at a loss for words. Telling the truth was impossible, so she could only use another excuse to gloss over the matter.

Faced with Gu Yuena's lies, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate at all and directly exposed her true colors of secretly competing in the Diary.

[Good heavens! Gu Yuena has become Rank Eight Soul Engineer without anyone noticing?]

Gu Yuena:?

Upon seeing the contents that suddenly appeared on the Diary Copy, Gu Yuena clenched her small fists tightly, trying her best to suppress the urge to suddenly punch Huo Yuhao.

The reason she kept her research into creating Soul Tool a secret was to prevent others from doing the same thing. Even if others were not as capable as her, the competition would inevitably intensify.

But now that he has just confessed to Huo Yuhao, this guy has betrayed him by writing a message in his Diary.

Gu Yuena could clearly feel that after Huo Yuhao wrote those words, many gazes quietly fell on her.

Walk slowly!

Is this how you play it?

"Just you wait, Huo Yuhao. Sooner or later, you'll find out what the price you'll pay for this!"

Huo Yuhao paid no attention to what Gu Yuena was thinking and continued to frantically stab this number one beauty of Douluo in his Diary.

[I think it's not just me who's unaware of Gu Yuena's research into Soul Tool; even Di Qiu'er, who lives with her in the same dormitory, probably doesn't know, let alone anyone else. Secretly competing with your best friend, huh? Tsk tsk tsk, typical Gu Yuena!]

[However, to become Rank Eight Soul Engineer in such a short time is truly impressive, considering he was Mecha designer in Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King. In that case, perhaps after this Soul Master Competition ends, I could try researching Battle Armor with Gu Yuena? I could have Jing Hongchen take me to the Mingde Hall to see that Mecha; it might provide some inspiration for Battle Armor.]

If that's the case, then my partner who I'll be spending every day with from now on will have to change from Xiao Hongchen to Gu Yuena!

In an instant, their gazes fell on Gu Yuena like knives. If looks could kill, Gu Yuena's body would probably be riddled with holes by now!
