Chapter 431: White Tiger Army Camp

Dai Hao led the crowd toward the military camp.

Upon entering the commander's tent, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong saw several old acquaintances.

Xu Jiujiu needs no further explanation; Xu Jiawei had already said beforehand that she would be in charge this time, and both were mentally prepared.

But they didn't expect to see Dai Yaoheng and Dai Huabin's figures.

Upon reflection, this is actually a matter of course.

Dai Huabin had been expelled, Dai Yaoheng had graduated early and joined the army; after so many years, it would be strange if they hadn't made a name for themselves in the military.

Both inherited Dai Hao's handsome and upright appearance, now standing straight on either side of his seat, awaiting their father to be seated.

Upon seeing Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, their expressions changed instantly.

Dai Yaoheng's eyes clearly flashed with surprise, overjoyed at their arrival, while Dai Huabin slightly turned his head to conceal the hatred in his eyes.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong paid no heed to their reactions; given their current status and strength, not to mention the two of them, even their most admired father could be killed at will.

The reason they don't do so is simply because they are still in wartime.

Besides them, there were several elders in the commander's tent, each exuding a powerful aura—these were the Honored Douluo powerhouses of the Star Net Empire.

Dai Hao sat down in his seat and gestured to the Shilake Academy crowd with his hand, saying:

"Please, everyone, be seated."

After Tang Wulin and the others were seated, Xu Jiujiu eagerly asked, "Tang Wulin, is it true that your academy has formed an alliance with the Body Sect?"

"Hmm."

Tang Wulin smiled and said:

"Now the Ri Yue Di Guo and the Holy Spirit Sect have cooperated; the entire Douluo Continent is about to fall into crisis, so we naturally will not be dragged down by past grudges."

Xu Jiujiu urgently asked, "Does that mean you are willing to lend us a hand?"

"Of course."

Xu Jiujiu's eyes instantly lit up.

She came to Ming Dou Shanmai and only then fully understood how oppressive the Ri Yue Di Guo's presence feels.

Even just a high-altitude detection-type soul tool completely widens the intelligence gap between the sides; even if our side possesses over a dozen Honored Douluo, we cannot exert our strength.

Moreover, there are reports that the Terror Claw Soul Mentor Group has arrived here; if full-scale war truly breaks out, the Star Net Empire would suffer heavy losses even if it won.

Under these circumstances, reinforcements are certainly the more the better—not to mention that the ones coming are Shilake Academy, which possesses the top soul tool technology of the original three countries of Douluo.

Dai Hao said in a deep voice, "The situation is urgent; I won't stand on ceremony—please tell me to what extent you can provide assistance."

Tang Wulin said with a serious expression:

"Although this might disappoint you, before the war begins we cannot take the initiative to act."

Xu Jiujiu became anxious all at once.

"How can this be! You also helped us rescue hostages and annihilate the Xie Jun Soul Mentor Group during the previous Ri Sheng City incident."

It can be said that so far, no nation has inflicted greater damage on the Ri Yue Di Guo than the annihilation of the Xie Jun Soul Mentor Group.

Tang Wulin patiently explained:

"Princess Jiujiu, that time the Ri Yue Di Guo first trapped people from our original three countries, so rescuing hostages and carrying out a certain degree of retaliatory action in the process were justified acts, but this does not mean our academy wishes to be the war's initiator." After all, Shilake Academy is ultimately just a powerful academy; after the war begins, they can dispatch reinforcements to defend home and country, aiding the original three countries against the Ri Yue Di Guo, but they absolutely cannot be the war's initiator, otherwise the academy's nature would fundamentally change.

"This..."

Xu Jiujiu's expression instantly dimmed.

Seeing her like this, Tang Wulin couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't be so quick to feel disappointed; even if we cannot initiate war, our academy can still offer some help."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Dai Hao's eyes brightened, "Please elaborate."

Tang Wulin smiled slightly, pointed at Huo Yutong, and introduced, "This is my martial-soul fusion partner, Huo Yutong; though she is young, she, like me, is a member of the Sea God Pavilion."

Dai Hao followed his hand to look at Huo Yutong, and their gazes met.

In an instant, Dai Hao felt a momentary daze, as if the gentle girl from years past reappeared before his eyes.

However, unlike that girl who always had a smile at the corner of her mouth, Huo Yutong now has a blank expression, revealing no emotion, as if wearing a hard mask.

He suppressed his racing heart and gave Huo Yutong a slight nod.

"Shilake Academy truly produces talent abundantly; what can she help us with?"

Huo Yutong answered his question with action.

Terrifying mental power forcibly invaded Dai Hao's and the Honored Douluo's brains, and the rapidly spreading Mental Detection Sharing image instantly appeared in everyone's minds.

"This, this is..."

An elder sitting beside Xu Jiujiu suddenly stood up, exclaiming in shock.

When she was a Soul King, her Mental Detection Sharing radius could reach twenty thousand meters; now, having condensed a Fate-attributed soul core and absorbed the entirety of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's origin power, her mental power has nearly reached an unparalleled level.

Perhaps aside from the legendary Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord, there exists no being in this world with stronger mental power than hers.

Under her Mental Detection Sharing at this moment, the entire landscape of Ming Dou Shanmai is clearly visible.

Next, Huo Yutong emphasized marking several high-altitude detection-type soul tools located above Ming Dou Shanmai.

"Although we cannot take the offensive, helping you clear out those high-altitude detection-type soul tools that have invaded your airspace is no problem."

Having said that, her eyes flashed with light, and then, before everyone's astonished gaze, all the high-altitude detection-type soul tools in the Star Net Empire's airspace suddenly exploded, turning into fragments that fell down.

Once her mental power attained a tangible, substantial form, it could already interfere with matter.

Using mental power to shatter these weakly defended soul tools is not difficult for her.

Among those present, aside from Dai Huabin and Xu Jiujiu, everyone couldn't help but swallow.

They all knew how difficult it is to accomplish such a feat.

For a moment, their gazes toward Huo Yutong changed.

Dai Hao's gaze toward Huo Yutong became even more fervent.

Having such powerful ability, it can no longer be described as ordinary genius.

If his subordinates had her help, they wouldn't have been suppressed by the Ri Yue Di Guo for so many years; even turning the tables and suppressing them would be easy.
