Chapter 216: The Attack and the Dawn Society
As a black shadow appeared on the distant horizon, cheers erupted from the people of the Star Luo Continent.
After a year, they had finally returned to their homeland.
From a distance, the beaches of the Star Luo Continent seemed no different from those of the Douluo Continent at first glance. Even the architectural style of the distant docks only had minor differences.
After all, it was established by people who had ventured out from the Douluo Continent, and many customs were shared between the two.
For the members of the Star Luo delegation, the grand welcome ceremony was just a routine formality.
After the ceremony concluded, the delegations of the two continents finally parted ways after the long voyage. The Star Luo delegation disbanded on the spot, and its members were granted a rare vacation. However, the Douluo delegation was different, their diplomatic mission had just begun.
Here, the Federation delegation would also temporarily split up. Talents from various sectors of the Federation would head to different parts of Star Luo to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Star Luo Federation. Their safety would be ensured by the accompanying members of the covert operations division.
As for Xie Xie and the other juniors...
"This is our upcoming itinerary: First, we will arrive at the capital of the Star Luo Federation, Star Luo City. There, we will engage in a series of exchange matches with the soul master academies of the Star Luo Federation. After that, we will also visit..."
As the only publicly acknowledged Limit Douluo in the team, the Amorous Douluo announced the team's upcoming schedule.
Under the careful arrangements of the Star Luo Federation, the group first rested for a night in a coastal city. The next day, they boarded a soul-guided train directly to the capital, Star Luo City.
Hmm, a soul-guided train.
Sitting in the luxurious soul-guided train, Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of Tang Wulin with a peculiar expression.
Taking a soul-guided train with Wulin, and in a place like Star Luo... Hmm, there should be something, right?
As he thought this, Huo Yuhao's gaze suddenly turned to the distance, and he sighed inwardly.
Sometimes, it's good to believe in metaphysics.
"Eh, are those mechas?"
Dai Yun'er, who was on the same train as Huo Yuhao, was also drawn to the black dots outside the window. They were moving through the air at an extremely high speed.
"Are there mecha forces stationed here?"
At that moment, Dai Yun'er suddenly noticed that the mechas began to emit flickering lights. She instinctively said in a low voice:
"Enemy attack!"
She wasn't the only one who reacted, but compared to Dai Yun'er's excitement, Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Xie, and the others, though prepared to face the enemy, remained calm.
Dai Yun'er was momentarily stunned, then quickly realized and couldn't help but laugh at herself.
What was she worried about?
This was a soul-guided train with a Limit Douluo on board. How could anything happen?
But... being attacked so soon after entering the country, Star Luo would have a hard time explaining this to the Douluo Federation.
Dai Yun'er's thoughts shifted, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
These damn rebel organizations. With Star Luo peaceful and prosperous, why can't they just stay quiet?!
Suddenly, a violent surge of soul power erupted outside the train. The mecha forces had indeed launched an attack. Dozens of soul-guided beams streaked across the sky, heading straight for the train.
Huo Yuhao's brow twitched as he stood up from his seat. White light spots gradually appeared on the surface of his body, distributed on his forehead, shoulders, chest, elbows, wrists, palms, waist, hips, knees, and soles.
As these light spots appeared, a silver thread-like light rapidly extended, weaving into intricate silver patterns. At the same time, Huo Yuhao's aura surged dramatically, releasing a shocking and powerful force.
Simultaneously, his right wrist pressed down abruptly, and five claw marks, alternating gold and silver, tore through space. The dark golden main blade shimmered with crescent-shaped silver light.
Silently, the sturdy soul-guided alloy roof of the train was torn open like paper, creating a large hole. Sunlight streamed through the hole, illuminating the stunned faces of everyone in the carriage.
Just as everyone looked up, the claw marks continued their trajectory, drawing a perfect arc in the air and precisely intercepting all the incoming soul-guided beams. Dazzling explosions erupted above the train but were instantly annihilated into nothingness.
Dai Yun'er's eyes widened, and the communicator she was about to use to contact the mecha forces nearly slipped from her hand. The other members of the Star Luo delegation heading to Star Luo City also looked shocked.
Although they had heard of Huo Yuhao's strength, witnessing him so effortlessly resolve the crisis was still deeplying.
The attacking mechas included a red-level mecha!
Although Huo Yuhao had now donned his two-word battle armor, with his Soul Emperor cultivation, the battle armor could only amplify his strength to that of an eight-ringed Soul Douluo. In other words, with the strength of a Soul Douluo, he had blocked the probing attacks of a red-level mecha and numerous black-level and purple-level mechas!
To Dai Yun'er, this was simply unbelievable. After all, a red-level mecha alone was comparable to a Super Douluo, and a peer of hers seemed to already possess strength on par with a Super Douluo, completely surpassing her.
"It's the Sky Splitting Claw. It seems His Majesty Bear Lord also holds Huo Yuhao in high regard."
In the frontmost compartment of the train, the Amorous Douluo, who had initially intended to take action, halted and was also somewhat surprised by Huo Yuhao's method and strength.
Has he already reached this level?
Truly awe-inspiring.
"It's probably not taught by His Majesty Bear Lord. He likely... self-taught it."
The Soul Suppressing Douluo said with a thoughtful expression.
He had once witnessed the Bear Lord's Sky Splitting Claw. The aura of that technique was completely different from what Huo Yuhao was displaying now. Although Huo Yuhao's claw marks were equal, they carried a more restrained quality and were more seamlessly integrated with spatial power.
Perhaps the current power doesn't match the Bear Lord's Sky Splitting Claw, but the potential for future growth is even greater.
"It seems we won't need to intervene in this battle."
The Dark Phoenix Douluo, seeing that the mecha forces responsible for protecting the delegation members had also mobilized, abandoned the idea of taking action and watched with interest as Huo Yuhao engaged the red-level mecha.
The attacking mecha forces consisted of one red-level mecha, five black-level mechas, and about twenty purple-level mechas. The mecha forces protecting them were of similar numbers, and the two sides were momentarily at a stalemate.
If they intervened now, they could certainly eliminate the attacking mecha forces. However, after learning about the "human pill" incident, the Dark Phoenix Douluo had no goodwill toward Star Luo. Without knowing the specifics of these attackers, she had no interest in cleaning up the Star Luo Federation's mess.
"It's those Dawn Society rebels again. Have they become so bold as to openly attack soul-guided trains now? Why can't His Majesty and the Prime Minister just make up their minds to wipe them out..."
Overhearing the murmurs around her, the Dark Phoenix Douluo raised an eyebrow.
The Dawn Society? Rebels?
The situation in Star Luo seems quite complex.
