Chapter 212: Ambush and the Dawn Society

As a black shadow appeared on the distant horizon, cheers rose from the mouths of the Star Luo Continent's people.

After a year's separation, they had finally returned to their homeland.

Gazing from afar, the Star Luo Continent's beaches seemed at first glance no different from the Douluo Continent's; even the architectural style on the distant docks showed only subtle differences.

After all, it was people who walked out from the Douluo Continent who established it; many customs on both sides were shared.

For the members of the Star Luo Delegation, the grand welcoming ceremony was merely a routine procedural formality.

Once the ceremony ended, the two nations' delegations, after the long voyage, finally went their separate ways. The Star Luo Continent's delegation disbanded on the spot, its members gaining a rare holiday. The Douluo Continent's delegation, however, was different — their diplomatic mission had only just begun.

And upon arriving here, the Federal Delegation would also temporarily split up; talents from various Federal sectors would head to all parts of Star Luo to understand the Star Luo Federation's situation from every angle. Their safety would be handled by the accompanying Dark Side members.

As for Xie Xie and the other juniors...

"This is our upcoming itinerary: first, we will arrive at the Star Luo Federation's capital on the Star Luo Continent — Star Luo City. There, we will conduct a series of exchange competitions with the Star Luo Federation's Soul Master academies. Afterwards, we will also go to..."

As the team's sole Limit Douluo on the public record — Duo Qing Douluo — announced the team's upcoming itinerary.

Under the Star Luo Federation's careful arrangements, everyone rested for a night in a coastal city, then boarded the Soul Guidance Train bound directly for the capital Star Luo City the next day.

Mhm, Soul Guidance Train.

Sitting in the luxurious Soul Guidance Train, Huo Yuhao looked toward Tang Wulin's direction, his expression somewhat strange.

Riding the Soul Guidance Train together with Wu Lin, and in a place like Star Luo at that... mhm, there should be, right?

Thinking this, before long Huo Yuhao's gaze suddenly turned to the distance, and he secretly sighed in his heart.

Sometimes, metaphysics is to be believed.

"Huh, those are mecha?"

Dai Yun'er, who was in the same train carriage as Huo Yuhao and the others, was also drawn by a cluster of black dots outside the window. Those black dots were moving through the air at extremely high speed.

"Are there mecha corps deployed here?"

Just then, Dai Yun'er suddenly noticed that points of light began flashing on those mecha, and she subconsciously said in a low voice:

"Enemy attack!"

She was not the only one to react, but compared to Dai Yun'er's agitation, Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie and the others, though they had also prepared to face the enemy, had very calm expressions.

Dai Yun'er blanked for a moment, then immediately reacted, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

What was she worrying about?

This was a Soul Guidance Train carrying a Limit Douluo — how could anything go wrong?

It was just... attacked so soon after entering the border; Star Luo would have a hard time explaining this to the Douluo Federation side.

Dai Yun'er's thoughts shifted, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.

These damn resistance organizations — now that Star Luo is peaceful and prosperous, why can't they just quiet down?!

A violent soul power fluctuation suddenly came from outside the train. Those mecha corps actually launched an attack; dozens of soul guide beams tore across the sky, heading straight for the train. Huo Yuhao's brows raised slightly; he rose from his seat, and white light dots gradually emerged on his body surface, distributed across his forehead, both shoulders, chest, elbows, wrists, palms, waist and abdomen, both hips, knees, and soles of his feet.

With the appearance of these light dots, a radiance like silver threads rapidly extended outward, weaving into gorgeous silver patterns. Simultaneously, Huo Yuhao's aura surged explosively, erupting with a staggering, powerful force.

At the same time, his right wrist pressed down sharply; five golden-silver claw marks tore open space. On the dark gold main blade light pulsed crescent-shaped silver radiance.

Soundlessly, the sturdy soul guide alloy train roof was torn open like thin paper, a large hole ripped in it. Sunlight sprinkled through the breach, illuminating the astonished faces of everyone in the carriage.

Just as everyone looked up, that claw light's remaining momentum undiminished, traced a perfect arc in the air, precisely intercepting all incoming soul guide beams. Dazzling explosion light bloomed above the train, yet was directly annihilated into nothingness.

Dai Yun'er stared wide-eyed, the communication device in her hand ready to contact the mecha corps nearly slipping from her grasp; the other Star Luo Delegation members heading to Star Luo City also wore shocked expressions.

Although they had long heard of Huo Yuhao's strength, personally witnessing him resolve the crisis so effortlessly still left them profoundly shaken.

Among the attacking mecha there was actually a Red-Grade Mecha!

And although Huo Yuhao was now wearing his Two-Word Battle Armor, with his Soul Emperor cultivation the battle armor could at most amplify him to an Eight-Ring Soul Douluo level; in other words, with Soul Douluo cultivation he blocked the probing offensive of a Red-Grade Mecha and numerous Black-Grade and Purple-Grade Mecha!

In Dai Yun'er's view this was simply inconceivable. After all, a single Red-Grade Mecha possesses combat power not inferior to a Super Douluo, yet a peer seemingly already had strength to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Super Douluo — it completely overturned her understanding.

"It's actually Tearing Heaven Claw; His Majesty Bear Lord apparently values Yuhao quite highly."

In the foremost compartment of the train, Duo Qing Douluo, who had been about to act, stopped her movement, equally surprised by Huo Yuhao's methods and strength.

"He's actually reached this level already?"

"Truly awe-inspiring."

"Probably not taught by His Majesty Bear Lord; he most likely... is self-taught."

Zhen Hun Douluo said with a subtle expression.

He had once witnessed Bear Lord's Tearing Heaven Claw; that savage, ferocious momentum was completely different from what Huo Yuhao was displaying now. Huo Yuhao's claw light was equally incomparably sharp, yet carried a few degrees more restraint, and fused with spatial power even more seamlessly.

Perhaps its current power cannot match Bear Lord's Tearing Heaven Claw, but its future growth potential is even broader.

"This battle seems like it won't need us to act."

Seeing the Star Luo mecha corps responsible for protecting the delegation members also deploying, An Feng Douluo abandoned the thought of intervening, and watched the engagement between Huo Yuhao and the Red-Grade Mecha with great interest.

The attackers' mecha corps had one Red-Grade Mecha, five Black-Grade Mecha, and around twenty Purple-Grade Mecha; the mecha corps protecting them was roughly the same number, and the two sides deadlocked for the moment.

If they acted now, they could certainly detain the attacking mecha corps, but after learning of the "human pill" matter, An Feng Douluo held no goodwill toward Star Luo at all; before knowing the attackers' specific details, she had no interest in wiping Star Luo Federation's ass for them.

"It's the Dawn Society resistance army again; they dare openly attack a Soul Guidance Train now? Why can't His Majesty and the Chairman harden their hearts and annihilate them..."

Faintly hearing the discussions around, An Feng Douluo raised an eyebrow.

Dawn Society? Resistance army?

Star Luo's situation seems quite complex.
