Douluo Dalu 2: Unrivaled Tang Sect

“It can suck away any metal’s life energy, but Life Gold itself cannot absorb all this life energy in its solid state. If this material life energy isn’t guided, it will dissipate into the air. My Golden Dragon Spear possesses similar characteristics, and it can absorb living beings’ life energy, but it cannot keep that energy within itself. The spear can only direct all that life energy into humans. From the opposite perspective, I can use my Golden Dragon Spear to absorb life energy and feed it into your Life Gold. Their existences can be said to be symbiotic and complementary.”

Huo Yuhao only realized that he didn’t know the value of what he possessed after listening to Wang Qiu’er’s explanation. Not even his teacher, Electrolux, knew about what Wang Qiu’er had just said. The academy didn’t have any record of such esoteric information, yet Wang Qiu’er knew this. Huo Yuhao couldn’t help but feel a lot more curious about her identity and where she came from!

As they were talking, metal powder and tiny fragments began to drift away from the gate in front of them. Wang Qiu’er continued to channel her Golden Dragon Spear and the Life Guardian Blade, and the spear continued to absorb while the knife’s Adjudication ability seemed to be activated at its highest possible level.

Huo Yuhao said no more. Instead, he raised his Spiritual Detection to the highest possible level as he perceived everything around him. He would inform his companions as soon as he discovered something amiss.

Adjudication destroyed a metal’s empirical characteristics. This large gate was at least a meter thick, and made from seven or eight different alloys. If a soul master wanted to use brute force against this gate, even an eight-ringed Soul Douluo might not be able to break through. In addition, brute force would cause the place to shake and tremble, and that would trigger all the soul tools set up around them.

Adjudication could directly absorb a metal’s life energy and cause it to crumble. The designers who built this warehouse could never have anticipated such a thing, and even if all the Class 9 soul engineers in the Soul Moon Empire were concentrated in this place, they probably wouldn’t have considered this possibility, either.

“How much more, Qiu’er?” Wang Dong’er couldn’t help but ask. She was afraid that Huo Yuhao’s spiritual avatar had been separated from his main body for a little too long, and problems could arise. Furthermore, Huo Yuhao was participating in the soul engineer tournament on the other side. He had brought his Life Guardian Blade to this place, so what carving knife was he using over there?

Wang Qiu’er answered, “This gate is very thick, and its metals are also exceptionally tough. You can tell from how strong the life energy that I have absorbed is. I need at least ten more minutes before I can break it down entirely.”

Huo Yuhao naturally guessed Wang Dong’er’s worries and attempted to comfort her. “Don’t worry, there’s more than enough time. However, you have to be prepared! I suspect that there will be people guarding the second level, and they cannot possibly be weak. There must a Class 7 soul engineer at the very least. Dong’er, Qiu’er, Xiao Xiao… the three of you have to coordinate at full strength so that you can defeat and kill your opponent as quickly as possible. Afterwards, we can attempt to break into the third level, as I believe that’s where the most invaluable and precious metals are kept. Most of the strongest guardians have left, and the third warehouse is also the deepest region, which means it’s far less likely that somebody will be standing guard there.”
