I'll Be Borrowing Your Head
In the front carriage, the Passionate Douluo, who had watched Huo Yuhao's entire battle, frowned deeply.
He sensed a strong threat emanating from the golden flames.
What kind of flame was that?
The Soul Suppressing Douluo and the Dark Phoenix Douluo exchanged a glance, both showing some curiosity.
Flames that can make them feel threatened are rare, let alone those wielded by a Two-Word Battle Armor Master.
"Was this a trick the Snow Empress left for him?" the Soul Suppressing Douluo said, then immediately dismissed the idea, "He clearly still had energy left; there was no need for him to use the trump card the Snow Empress gave him."
In other words, it was Huo Yuhao's own doing.
This successor of the Spirit Pagoda is giving them more and more surprises.
"They just retreated like that? I wasn't done fighting yet."
Xie Xie looked at the Purple Level Mecha at his feet, curled his lip, and then looked at Huo Yuhao walking in the distance and the half of the red Mecha behind him being supported by an Formless force. His eyes lit up.
"Boss, can I touch it?"
It was Red Level Mecha. Although he had seen it before at the Spirit Pagoda, those things were the lifeblood of Mecha pilots, and they couldn't usually come into contact with them.
Huo Yuhao chuckled and tossed the half-section of the Red Level Mecha wreckage over.
Xie Xie examined it as if it were a treasure, his fingers gently tracing the cross-section of the Mecha.
High-level Mecha are treasures from head to toe; the value of their rare alloys alone is immeasurable. Moreover, although high-level Mecha are custom-made and difficult for others to directly control, modifying them into Mecha suitable for oneself is much easier than building one from scratch.
After watching for a while, Xie Xie's expression gradually became serious, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the destroyed parts of the Mecha.
There was no trace left here.
What kind of flame did Boss Yuhao use? It completely destroyed the parts of the Red Level Mecha, leaving not a single trace.
While Xie Xie from the shock, Dai Yun'er stood to the side, looking at Huo Yuhao with a complicated expression. She still couldn't accept that a boy of similar age to herself could defeat Red Level Mecha Master!
The gazes of the other members of the Star Luo Empire delegation towards Huo Yuhao also turned completely to one of awe.
From this moment on, they will no longer regard each other as a younger generation or a rising star, but will treat each other with humility.
Because they all already knew that Huo Yuhao was a "Your Majesty" comparable to Super Douluo!
Some students from the Monster Academy were secretly relieved that Huo Yuhao's apparent abilities had deterred them from any challenge. So, on their way back to the Star Luo Empire, they only interacted with other students from the Federation and did not engage in Exchange Competition with Huo Yuhao.
If we were to actually fight them, the consequences would be "spicy" just thinking about it.
The Star Luo Empire reacted swiftly. Hundreds of Mecha quickly assembled, providing tight protection for the Soul Tool Train. Meanwhile,
Medical Mecha have also arrived at the scene and are racing against time to carry out rescue operations.
Of course, thanks to Huo Yuhao, no one was actually injured. However, these medical Mecha were still left behind in case of emergency.
Information about the attackers was quickly gathered and presented to the Federation delegation by the Star Luo Empire faction.
Although the lack of core intelligence was due to the failure to capture the enemy's Red Level Mecha Master, a considerable amount of information was still obtained based on the confession of the captured Black Level Mecha pilot.
"According to the information gathered, the organization that attacked the Soul Tool Train is called the Dawn Society; they are a resistance organization within the Star Luo Federation."
Possessing considerable strength, this organization has secret bases in various provinces of the Star Luo Federation. The Star Luo Empire government has clashed with them numerous times, but due to Dawn Society presence of many top-tier experts, they have never been able to completely eradicate them.
Upon learning this intelligence, Leng Yulai looked at Pan Wen, who had come to deliver the message, and raised an eyebrow. "Star Luo Empire can't even handle a single rebel?"
"According to the Star Luo Empire delegation, those guys are like Evil Spirit Master —they can never be completely eradicated," Pan Wen shook his head. "But what the truth is, we don't know."
"What was their purpose in attacking the train?"
Pan Wen: "It's strange. From the prisoners, we learned that these Dawn Society members were ordered to test the strength of the Douluo Federation delegation. If they were weak, annihilate them and incite conflict between the two countries; if they were strong, then—"
He didn't say anything more, nor did he need to.
If the Federation is strong, then naturally the members of the Dawn Society will be left behind.
Pan Wen continued, "It seems that in the eyes of the Dawn Society, they can accept either outcome."
Everyone frowned.
"Did it fail?"
In the pitch-black room, Ling Hefan trembled and looked towards the source of the sound in the corner of the room. The voice was deep and hoarse.
It trembled slightly, as if it had been sanded with sandpaper.
Ling Hefan wanted to say a few more words in his favor, but thinking that the news of Huo Yuhao defeating him would definitely spread, he could only sigh and say in a deep voice:
"Yes, sir, I failed. A Two-Word Battle Armor Master from the Federation defeated me."
Those lurking in the shadows seemed taken aback by the news and remained silent for a moment.
But Ling Hefan couldn't resist.
"My lord, the Douluo Federation is a force to be reckoned with. Why send us to attack them? Provoking them now would be detrimental to us."
"Why?" The voice in the shadows chuckled softly. "If the Douluo Federation delegation were just a bunch of weaklings, they would only be played around by the Star Luo Empire and would have no value in cooperating. They would be better off being killed by us to create diplomatic problems for the Star Luo Federation. However—since the Douluo Federation delegation is not weak, we have another option."
He spoke his last words very softly, but Ling Hefan still heard them and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's a good thing that we don't have to deal with that freak Huo Yuhao.
Just then, the voice from the shadows spoke again:
"However, we did intervene once and offended them. If we want to reconcile with them, I need to borrow something from you."
"Please speak, sir."
"I'll borrow your head for a bit."
Ling Hefan's pupils dilated sharply.
A dark shadow flashed by like Gui Mei.
A flash of cold light appeared.
Ling Hefan felt a chill on his neck, and his vision suddenly spun. His last conscious thought was of seeing his headless body slowly fall, blood splattering on the mottled wall.
In that instant, he thought of many things.
It turns out that as long as the attack fails, Ling Hefan will always be killed off.
Because of the previous attack, the Star Luo Federation has increased security for the delegation members, adding more guards to the train in addition to the Mecha force.
With the tight protection of these people and Huo Yuhao's previous prestige, the rest of the journey became smooth and uneventful. Two days later, they finally arrived at Star Luo City, the capital of the Star Luo Empire located in the center of the Star Luo Continent.
