In the front carriage, Duoqing Douluo, who had watched Huo Yuhao's entire battle, frowned deeply.
He sensed a strong threat from that golden flame.
What was that flame?
Soul Calming Douluo and Dark Phoenix Douluo exchanged glances, also somewhat curious.
Flames that could make them feel threatened were rare, let alone one unleashed from a Two-Word Battle Armor Master.
"Is this a method left to him by Snow Empress?" Soul Calming Douluo said, but then he denied his own guess. "He clearly still had spare energy just now. There was no need to use the trump card Snow Empress gave him."
In other words, it was Huo Yuhao's own method.
This heir of the Spirit Transmission Tower was giving them more and more surprises.
"They just retreated like that? I haven't had my fill of fighting yet."
Xie Xie looked at the Purple Grade Mecha beneath his feet, curled his lip, and then looked at Huo Yuhao walking over from the distance, followed by half of a Red Grade Mecha was held up by an invisible force. His eyes lit up.
"Boss, can I touch it?"
It was a Red Grade Mecha. Although he had seen them at the Spirit Transmission Tower, those things were the Lifeline of mecha pilots and were not usually accessible.
Huo Yuhao laughed and tossed the half Red Grade Mecha wreckage over.
Xie Xie examined it as if he had found a treasure, his fingers gently brushing over the cross section of the mecha.
High grade mechas could be said to be a Whole Body of Treasure. The value of the rare alloys alone was incalculable. Moreover, although high grade mechas were custom made and difficult for others to directly manipulate and use, modifying one to suit oneself was still much easier than building one from scratch.
After looking for a while, Xie Xie's expression gradually became solemn. His gaze swept back and forth over the destroyed parts of the mecha.
No traces were left.
What kind of flame did Boss Yuhao use? It made the destroyed parts of the Red Grade Mecha completely disappear, leaving no residue.
While Xie Xie was shocked, Dai Yun'er stood to the side, her gaze complicated as she looked at Huo Yuhao. She still could not accept that a young man her age could actually defeat a Red Grade Mecha pilot.
The other Xingluo delegation members' gazes toward Huo Yuhao had also completely transformed into awe.
From this moment on, they would not regard him as a member of the younger generation or a future star, but would face him with a humble attitude.
Because they all now understood that Huo Yuhao was a "His Majesty" comparable to a Super Douluo.
Some Monster Academy students were secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, Huo Yuhao's superficial configuration had already discouraged them from challenging him. So during the journey back to Xingluo, they had only exchanged matches with other Federation students and had not had an exchange match with Huo Yuhao.
If they actually fought him, the thought of the consequences was sour and refreshing.
The Xingluo Empire reacted quickly. Several hundred mechas assembled quickly, tightly protecting the soul powered train. At the same time, medical mechas had also arrived at the scene, racing against time to carry out rescue operations.
Of course, because of Huo Yuhao, no one had actually been injured. But these medical mechas still remained, just in case.
Information about the attackers was quickly compiled and presented to the Federation delegation by the Xingluo side.
Although core intelligence was lacking because they had not captured the enemy's Red Grade Mecha pilot, based on the confessions of the captured Black Grade Mecha pilots, they still obtained quite a bit of intelligence.
"According to the compiled information, the organization that attacked the soul powered train is called the Dawn Society. They are a resistance organization of the Xingluo Federation and possess considerable strength. This organization has secret strongholds in every province of the Xingluo Federation. The Xingluo government has many violent conflicts with them, but due to the Dawn Society having many top experts stationed, they have never been able to completely eradicate them."
Upon learning this information, Leng Yulai looked at Pan Wen, who had come to deliver the message, and raised an eyebrow. "Xingluo cannot even handle a resistance army?"
"In the words of the Xingluo delegation, those guys are like evil soul masters, impossible to completely eradicate." Pan Wen shook his head. "But what the true situation is remains unknown."
"Then what was their purpose in attacking the train?"
Pan Wen said, "Strangely enough, according to the captives, the order these Dawn Society members received was to test the strength of the Douluo Federation delegation. If weak, annihilate them and lead the two countries to worsen relations. If strong..."
He did not finish the sentence, nor did he need to.
If the Federation was strong, naturally the Dawn Society members would be eliminated.
Pan Wen continued, "It seems that in the eyes of the Dawn Society, either outcome was acceptable to them."
Everyone frowned.
...
"Did you fail?"
In a dark room
Ling Hefan's body trembled. He looked toward the source of the voice in the corner of the room. The voice was low and raspy, as if ground by sandpaper, with a barely perceptible tremor.
Ling Hefan wanted to say something nice about himself, but thinking that the fact that Huo Yuhao had defeated him would certainly spread, he could only sigh and say in a deep voice, "Yes, sir. I failed. There was a Two-Word Battle Armor Master on the Federation side who defeated me."
The person in the shadows seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing this and did not speak for a moment.
But Ling Hefan could not hold back.
"Sir, the Douluo Federation's strength is not to be underestimated. Why did we send them to attack us? Now that we have angered them, it is disadvantageous for us."
"Why?" The voice in the shadows chuckled softly. "If the Douluo Federation delegation were only a group of weaklings, they would only be played around by Xingluo and would have no value for cooperation. It would be better to kill them and create diplomatic problems for the Xingluo Federation. But since the Douluo Federation delegation's strength is not poor, there is another choice."
He spoke the last words very, very softly, but Ling Hefan still heard them. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Not having to face that freak Huo Yuhao was a good thing.
Just then, the voice in the shadows said, "However, we have attacked once after all and have earned their ill will. If I want to reconcile with them, I need to borrow something from you."
"Please speak, sir."
"Lend me the head on your shoulders."
Ling Hefan's pupils shook.
A black shadow flashed like a ghost.
A cold light suddenly appeared.
Ling Hefan only felt a chill at his neck. His vision suddenly spun. His final consciousness was of seeing his headless body slowly fall to the ground, blood splattering on the mottled wall.
In that moment, he thought of many things.
So, as long as the attack failed, he, Ling Hefan, would Get a Boxed Lunch anyway.
...
Because of the previous attack, the Xingluo Federation had deliberately increased security for the delegation members. In addition to the mecha units, many guards were added to the train.
With these people's tight protection and Huo Yuhao's previous deterrence, the subsequent journey became smooth and uneventful. Two days later, they finally arrived at the capital of the Xingluo Empire, located in the center of the Xingluo Continent, Xingluo City.
