Chapter 214: Borrow Your Head for a Use

In the front carriage, Duo Qing Douluo, who had watched Huo Yuhao's battle in its entirety, frowned deeply.

He sensed a powerful threat from that golden flame.

What kind of flame was that?

Zhen Hun Douluo and Dark Phoenix Douluo also exchanged a glance, equally curious.

Flames that could make them feel a threat were rare, let alone one unleashed by a Two-Word Battle Armor Master.

"Is this a method the Snow Empress left for him?" Zhen Hun Douluo said this, then negated his own guess, "He clearly still had strength to spare just now; there was no need to use the trump card the Snow Empress gave him."

In other words, it was Huo Yuhao's own method.

This Spirit Pagoda inheritor truly gave them more and more surprises.

……

"They just retreated like that? I haven't had enough fighting yet."

Xie Xie looked at the Purple-Grade Mecha under his feet, pouted his lips, and looked toward Huo Yuhao walking from afar and the half Red-Grade Mecha floating behind him, held by an invisible force; his eyes lit up.

"Big Brother, can I touch it?"

A Red-Grade Mecha — although he had seen them at the Spirit Pagoda, those things are a Mecha Master's lifeline; normally there's no way to get close to one.

Huo Yuhao laughed helplessly and tossed the half wreckage of the Red-Grade Mecha over.

Xie Xie treasured it like a precious gem and began observing it, his fingers lightly brushing over the mecha's fracture surface.

High-grade mechas are truly treasures from head to toe; just those rare alloys alone have inestimable value. Moreover, although high-grade mechas are all custom-made and difficult for others to directly operate, modifying one into a mecha suitable for oneself is still far easier than building one from scratch.

After looking for a while, Xie Xie's expression gradually turned solemn, his gaze scanning back and forth over the destroyed parts of the mecha.

Here, not a single trace was left.

What kind of flame did Big Brother Yuhao use? It actually made the burned parts of the Red-Grade Mecha vanish completely, leaving not a shred of residue...

While Xie Xie was shocked, Dai Yun'er stood to the side, looking at Huo Yuhao with a complex gaze. Even now she could not accept that a youth of similar age to her could actually defeat a Red-Grade Mecha Master!

And the other Star Luo Delegation members' gazes toward Huo Yuhao had completely turned into reverence.

From this moment on, they would no longer regard the opponent as a younger generation or a future star, but would face him with a humble attitude.

Because they all now knew, Huo Yuhao was a "His Excellency" comparable to a Super Douluo!

Some Monster Academy students were still secretly rejoicing; fortunately Huo Yuhao's surface configuration alone made them abandon any thought of challenging him, so on the journey back to Star Luo they only conducted exchanges and spars with other Federal students, and did not have an exchange competition with Huo Yuhao.

If they really fought a battle with him, the consequences — just thinking about them was "bitterly refreshing".

……

The Star Luo Empire reacted swiftly. Hundreds of mechas rapidly assembled, tightly protecting the Soul Guidance Train. At the same time, medical mechas had also arrived on scene, launching rescue operations racing against time.

Of course, because of Huo Yuhao, no one was actually injured. But these medical mechas still remained, just in case.

And information about the attackers was also quickly compiled and presented to the Federal Delegation by the Star Luo side.

Although core intelligence was somewhat lacking because they failed to capture the enemy's Red-Grade Mecha Master, relying on the captured Black-Grade Mecha Masters' confessions, they still obtained quite a bit of intelligence.

"According to the compiled situation, the organization that attacked the Soul Guidance Train is named the Dawn Society; they are a resistance organization of the Star Luo Federation, possessing considerable strength. This organization has secret strongholds in every province of the Star Luo Federation. The Star Luo official side has clashed fiercely with them many times, but because the Dawn Society has numerous top-tier experts presiding over it, they have never been able to completely exterminate it……"

Upon learning this intelligence, Leng Yulai looked at Pan Wen who had come to deliver the information, her brows arching slightly, "Star Luo can't even handle a single resistance army?"

"In the mouths of the Star Luo Delegation, those guys are like Evil Soul Masters — they can never be eradicated." Pan Wen shook his head, "But what the true situation actually is, there's no way to know."

"Then what is their purpose in attacking the train?" Pan Wen: "Very strange; from the captives' mouths, these Dawn Society members received orders to probe the Douluo Federation Delegation's strength. If weak, annihilate them, guide the two nations into enmity; if strong……"

The rest of the words he didn't say, and didn't need to say.

If the Federation is strong, naturally the Dawn Society's people would be left behind.

Pan Wen continued: "It seems in the Dawn Society's eyes, no matter which outcome, they can accept it."

Everyone frowned.

……

"Failed?"

In the pitch-black room, Ling Hefan trembled all over, looking toward the sound source in the room's corner. That voice was low and hoarse, as if ground by sandpaper, carrying a barely perceptible tremble.

Ling Hefan still wanted to speak a few words in his own defense, but thinking that Huo Yuhao's victory over him would certainly be spread, he could only sigh and say in a deep voice:

"Yes, Lord, failed. On the Federation side there is a Two-Word Battle Armor Master…… who defeated me."

The person in the dark seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing this news, and didn't continue speaking for a moment.

But Ling Hefan couldn't hold back.

"Lord, the Douluo Federation's strength cannot be underestimated; why send us to attack them? Now that we've angered them, it's unfavorable for us."

"Why?" The voice in the darkness chuckled lightly, "If the Douluo Federation Delegation were just a bunch of weaklings, they would only be played around by Star Luo, and have no cooperation value; might as well kill them to create diplomatic trouble for the Star Luo Federation. However…… since the Douluo Federation Delegation's strength is not bad, there is another choice."

The final words, he spoke very, very quietly, but Ling Hefan still heard them, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not having to face that pervert Huo Yuhao is a good thing.

Just then, the voice in the dark spoke again:

"However, we did make a move after all, and offended them; if we want to reconcile with them, I need to borrow something from you."

"Lord, please speak."

"Borrow your head for a use."

Ling Hefan's pupils violently contracted.

A black shadow flashed past like a ghost.

Swish——

Cold light suddenly appeared.

Ling Hefan only felt his neck turn cold, his vision suddenly spinning heaven and earth. His last consciousness was seeing his own headless body slowly fall, fresh blood spraying onto the mottled wall.

In that instant, he thought of many things.

So, as long as the attack failed, he Ling Hefan would get a boxed lunch……

……

Because of the previous ambush, the Star Luo Federation specifically increased security for the delegation members; besides the Mecha Corps, many guards were also added aboard the train.

With these people's tight protection and Huo Yuhao's prior deterrence, the subsequent journey became unimpeded and uneventful. Two days later, they finally arrived at the capital of the Star Luo Empire, located at the center of the Star Luo Continent — Star Luo City.
