"Oh, by the way, don't hang up so soon, I have something else to ask you."
Just as Yu Longyang was about to hang up the phone, he heard Yu Longyue say this.
"Young Sect Master, what's wrong?"
How is Tang San doing lately?
" Tang San? Him?" Yu Longyang thought for a moment. "Young Sect Master, please wait a moment."
He put down his phone and then asked someone to check the surveillance footage.
A moment later, Yu Longyue heard his brother say:
" Tang San is still working at the Blacksmith's Association of the Shrek Academy. He works twelve hours a day and isn't allowed to leave until he finishes all the orders. Anyway, class time is limited."
"However... he seems to enjoy this life. Although the work is hard, his forging skills have improved rapidly, and he is now one of the best in the Blacksmith's Association."
Yu Longyue asked, "What level is your forging?"
"He's close to level five, but still a long way off." Yu Longyang paused, then continued, "I heard he's working very hard for us until we can help him solve the problem of the Thousand-Year Soul Spirit. He's incredibly diligent."
"Okay, it's fine now. Get ready and head to the Tang Sect. Let me know when you arrive."
"OK."
After Yu Longyue ended the phone call, his thoughts began to race.
"What's the next step?" Huo Yuhao asked.
"Wait!"
Yu Longyue raised her hand and rubbed her temples.
"You should have received the message. The Green Skull organization has been making a lot of noise lately, and several Super Douluo have been dispatched."
"That's true, the Tang Sect received it too." Huo Yuhao nodded, then suddenly realized, "No wonder you insisted on attacking the Tang Sect branch at this time. The Tang Sect has been hunting Green Skull recently, so there aren't many people guarding the branch."
"As for the branch location, Green Skull doesn't know where it is, but we do know it."
Yu Longyue pondered, " The Tang Sect branch is quite powerful; a mere Green Skull organization can't distract them too much. And most importantly..."
"The phone call you just made?" Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask.
"That's right. If I'm not mistaken, there's a Level 98 Super Douluo in the Tang Sect branch. We need to distract him too." Yu Longyue glanced at the map Huo Yuhao had shown her. "The conference room is far from the database. Even if he's Super Douluo, it'll take him thirty seconds to react. Thirty seconds is enough time for us to download a small program from their database."
Yu Longyue gestured with her chin towards Huo Yuhao: "So, are you confident you can do it?"
" Tang Sect Technology has always been at the forefront. Won't they notice if we just download a small program?" Huo Yuhao frowned slightly. "I still think it's a bit unreliable."
"No matter how advanced their technology is, they're far behind us in network technology. You're mistaken about that. Scientists and network security are completely different concepts." Yu Longyue took out a document from her storage space and handed it to Huo Yuhao. "Take a look. Our company also undertakes network security maintenance for the Tang Sect..."
"No wonder you dared to do this..." Huo Yuhao slapped his thigh. "Alright, let's do it."
"This is our first step in infiltrating the Tang Sect— "
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Yuhao tugged at Huo Yuhao Yu Longyue's clothes.
"What about those Limit Douluo who protect you? They're protecting you every single moment."
"My parents are the Limit Douluo responsible for protecting me today. I told them what fun things to do nearby, but they're busy sightseeing, so they don't have the energy to keep an eye on me. We need to hurry, just a quick trip to the bathroom."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Huo Yuhao had already secretly drawn up maps of all the locations within the Tang Sect branch, so their arrival and Tang Sect were extremely smooth.
In addition, Huo Yuhao has mastered the art of manipulating Spiritual Power, to the point that he can destroy the monitoring devices on sight.
The two worked together seamlessly. Huo Yuhao used his Spiritual Power to cover the technological devices, while Yu Longyue was responsible for taking down everyone with a single punch. No matter how high their cultivation level, as long as they hadn't reached the Soul Douluo level, none of them could withstand a single punch from Yu Longyue.
The two of them had carried out countless such covert operations before; they dared to break into the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, let alone a mere branch of the Tang Sect.
Especially for sects like the Tang Sect that rely heavily on technology, it's even easier for them to succeed. Not to mention Yu Longyue, Huo Yuhao, as a professional researcher, could handle most of them on his own.
No matter where you are, the potential of researchers is ridiculously high.
The two moved like ghosts through the corridors and shadows of the Tang Sect branch, and even went to the monitoring room to destroy the surveillance data.
"Be careful," Huo Yuhao said softly, gently placing a person quietly on the floor. "I suppressed the Tang Sect's warning alarm. It could only be suppressed for forty seconds at most, and fifteen seconds have passed now. The monitoring room is taken care of; it's time to go to the database."
"Lead the way, quickly."
Ten seconds later, Yu Longyue took down three more people, and Huo Yuhao led him to a seemingly ordinary room.
The two exchanged a glance, nodded, and quickly and cautiously opened the door.
Inside the data center, rows of servers ran quietly, emitting a soft hum.
Huo Yuhao quickly located the main server. He took out a small laptop from his storage space and started connecting to the server.
However, just a second later, the alarm went off completely.
"Didn't you say forty seconds?" Yu Longyue was taken aback.
"Big brother, we let them in like dogs, we hacked into all the surveillance cameras, we were so brazen, if they didn't notice, that would be terrible." Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, his fingers flying across the keyboard, a line of code scrolling across his screen.
"Well done, you've been waiting for this day for so long. You seem so prepared." Yu Longyue tilted his head, starting to relax his muscles, preparing for the tough battle ahead.
Huo Yuhao sneered, "From the day I entered the Tang Sect, fine, found it."
As he spoke, he took out the USB flash drive that Yu Longyue had given him and inserted it into the slot.
"How long?"
Huo Yuhao quickly replied, "Ten seconds."
It's too late.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a furious voice rang out:
"Who goes there?!"
The door to the data center was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man dressed in the Tang Sect attire walked in. What caught people's attention most was his protruding belly.
Upon seeing this, Yu Longyue sensed something was wrong.
Didn't you lure him away?
Hu Jie, the Smiling Douluo, is a Level 98 Super Douluo with a golden belly and silver buttocks. He is also the Body Martial Soul, and in terms of strength, he can be said to be infinitely close to the Limit Douluo.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Tang Sect branch!"
Hu Jie's voice carried an undeniable air of authority.
Yu Longyue did not answer. His body moved instantly, and he threw a punch that, with a whooshing sound, rushed towards Hu Jie like a bolt of lightning.
A cold smile appeared on Hu Jie's face, and his eyes revealed a hint of contempt. His body swayed slightly, and Yu Longyue's fist grazed past his stomach, missing its target.
"Is this all you've got? You dare to cause trouble at the Tang Sect?" Hu Jie mocked. Suddenly, his stomach emitted a golden light, filling the entire data center with this dazzling light. At the same time, his nine Soul Ring Configuration— six black and three red—were revealed.
Yu Longyue quickly retreated, her body tumbling in mid-air before landing steadily on the ground.
We can't delay any longer. Hu Jie is alone now; if we wait another ten seconds, he'll be surrounded and beaten by the Tang Sect army.
To Yu Longyue's relief, Huo Yuhao had finished downloading the data. He quickly pulled out his USB drive, put away his laptop, and sent a signal to Yu Longyue. The Simulation Soul Ring immediately covered Yu Longyue.
Yu Longyue took a deep breath, turned around abruptly to face Hu Jie who was chasing after him, and suddenly a dazzling light burst forth from his body. Nine Soul Ring rose from his feet and circled around his body.
The fact that all the Soul Ring were red surprised Hu Jie.
They are indeed formidable opponents!
We absolutely cannot let them escape... Just as Hu Jie was about to unleash his ninth Soul Skill, Yu Longyue, who was in front of him, suddenly stopped. His body was like a taut bowstring suddenly released, and his turning motion was smooth and swift, with his Soul Power instantly igniting.
Oh no, he's burning his Soul Power! Has he gone mad? It's too late!
Hu Jie immediately released the aftercast delay of his Soul Skill, and used all his strength to lift his big belly. In the next second, Yu Longyue's body sank slightly, his right foot stepped back, as steady as Mount Tai, his right arm quickly pulled back, his fist clenched, the muscle lines on his arm were as clear as if they were carved, showing explosive power.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Longyue's fist, like a cannonball, hurtled towards Hu Jie with a whooshing sound.
This punch was a strike that concentrated all his power, and even the laws of heaven and earth were perfectly embodied in it.
"Boom!"
The friction between the fist and the air generated a violent sonic boom, a thunderous roar that echoed throughout the data center.
Hu Jie's pupils suddenly contracted. Faced with this sudden and fierce attack, he could only instinctively raise his large belly as much as possible to defend himself.
Yu Longyue's fist slammed solidly into Hu Jie's stomach, unleashing a violent force like a torrent, pouring down on Hu Jie's body.
Hu Jie felt an unprecedented impact; a sharp pain shot through his abdomen, and his body involuntarily flew backward.
"Bang!"
Hu Jie's body slammed heavily against the wall of the data center, the powerful impact causing cracks to appear in the wall.
His body left a human-shaped indentation on the wall before slowly sliding down to the ground.
Hu Jie felt dizzy, his chest tightened, and a sweet taste rose in his throat. He forcibly suppressed his discomfort and was about to chase after them.
Even so, it wasted a full three seconds. Three seconds is enough time for Yu Longyue to run to who knows how far.
After throwing a punch, Yu Longyue didn't even look back. She grabbed Huo Yuhao and ran faster than a dog, ignoring that she was still spitting blood and her hand was hanging limply at her sides. She just kept running.
If we don't run now, we're really doomed.
In short, this powerful Super Douluo bought them three seconds, which ultimately allowed them to escape.
This angered Hu Jie so much that he punched the wall, and only then did the Tang Sect experts arrive at the scene.
"Go after him!!!"
