Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 151: Master and Disciple Pair Stealing the Blueprints
Huo Yuhao did not leave. Instead, he removed his illusion imitation soul skills that had been covering the dragon souls of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.
In an instant, two loud dragon roars echoed through the air. The old man in the black robe was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. The two dragon souls were gazing at him covetously.
"Is this dragon soul? Are you also an evil soul master?" the old man in black robes asked, a hint of surprise and suspicion in his voice.
Generally speaking, only evil soul masters would attempt to control souls. Who among the righteous soul masters would try to control souls like this?
Huo Yuhao chose not to answer. After all, villains die because they talk too much—and although he was not a villain at present, there was no need to waste words on such a person. He quietly commanded the two dragon souls to attack, prepared to eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible.
"Although these two dragon souls are rare, it's impossible for you— a soul ancestor—to control such powerful dragon souls. So, I'll take them," the black-robed old man said greedily. He was ready to act—grab the two dragon souls and eliminate Huo Yuhao, even if the latter was an evil soul master. So what?
Evil soul masters are not a monolithic entity.
Moreover, the other party was just a soul ancestor and he is Soul Douluo!
In the next moment, the two dragon souls launched their assault. Blazing flames and freezing cold burst forth as breath attacks directed at the black-robed old man.
The old man in black used an eighth-level soul guidance shield to resist. Cracks quickly appeared on the shield, and he retreated rapidly. The two dragon souls chased him relentlessly.
"This! This is at least an attack at the level of Title Douluo! No—two dragon souls at the Title Douluo level?" His face changed drastically. Shocked, he then began to plead: "Spare my life! We can talk!"
But his pleas were in vain. Soon, with screams and curses, the two dragon souls eradicated him. His body turned to dust and gradually dissipated.
Ye Guyi watched this scene in disbelief. She couldn't believe that a soul ancestor could control a dragon soul at the level of Title Douluo—and then easily kill a Soul Douluo. Even among evil soul masters, this was an extraordinarily powerful existence.
It was clear that, relying on the dragon soul, this person was already a rare powerhouse in the world. After all, Title Douluo is not a common rank—any force would regard a Title Douluo as a treasure.
However, her mood was complicated. Although the other party had saved her, he seemed to be an evil soul master. Would she still be destined to die later?
Huo Yuhao descended from mid-air, walking toward Ye Guyi. He said, "I know that when you saw me controlling the dragon soul, you suspected I was an evil soul master. But I need to clarify—I am not an evil soul master."
"Really?" Ye Guyi was skeptical.
"Of course. If I were an evil soul master, I would have killed you long ago," Huo Yuhao replied, a bit helpless. Then, he summoned the Life Guardian Blade. "You have some injuries. I will heal you, and then take you back to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy. I'll explain everything on the way."

Illustrious Virtue Hall
Fan Yu was studying soul guidance devices. In Shrek Academy, he was a leading figure in the field.
Because the strongest soul engineer in Shrek was only an eighth-level soul engineer, he held a high status within the academy's soul engineer community.
However, at the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy, he was the lowest-ranked eighth-level engineer. The main reason was that Shrek's standards for evaluating soul engineers were lower than those of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy.
Here, he was essentially a "student" seeking guidance.
During this period, he learned about soul guidance devices in Illustrious Virtue Hall, gaining valuable knowledge. He felt that his skill in making soul guidance devices had improved significantly.
But mastering knowledge alone wasn't enough. To truly develop Shrek's soul guide department, he knew he needed to take risks.
All of this was for Shrek Academy!
He looked around and saw that the researchers had left their workbenches and gone to rest.
Fan Yu immediately coughed lightly. He Caitou, who was working diligently on a soul guidance device, looked up at his teacher. The two exchanged glances; He Caitou understood immediately.
Yesterday, they had agreed to steal the blueprints from Illustrious Virtue Hall while the researchers were away, then secretly send them back to the academy. This was to accelerate the development of their soul guidance technology.
After all, developing new soul guidance devices requires a lot of time and effort. Stealing blueprints could greatly speed up the process.
As for the risks, Fan Yu believed that as long as there was no direct evidence, the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy couldn't do anything to them—especially since the Empire had no desire for conflict at this time.
Previously, three level-nine soul engineers had united to pressure Xuan Zi, which made everyone realize that the era of soul guidance devices was unstoppable. Stealing the blueprints was a justified act for the future of the academy.
The ambitions of the Sun Moon Empire would likely lead to future wars with the Three Douluo Kingdoms, aiming to unify the continent.
Yet, according to the wisdom of Ancestor Tang San, Shrek Academy believed that multiple empires should coexist peacefully on the Douluo Continent. A single empire's dominance would be disastrous.
Fan Yu thought that stealing the blueprints now would allow them to develop the soul guidance technology quickly. Once these guidance devices were used in future conflicts, they could reduce casualties and perhaps even hinder the Sun Moon Empire's plans to unify the continent.
Soon, the plan to steal the blueprints was underway. The process was kept extremely secret, but it placed great psychological pressure on He Caitou. Although he disliked the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, stealing was still a new experience for him.
He was Xu He in the past—someone who had everything he wanted and never needed to steal.
He cast a sidelong glance at Fan Yu and observed how skillfully and calmly his teacher acted during the theft. Fan Yu's demeanor made it look more like he was retrieving his belongings than stealing.
For a moment, He Caitou admired his teacher even more. Even when stealing, Fan Yu looked so natural.
Fan Yu noticed He Caitou's gaze and whispered in a low voice, "He Caitou, what are you waiting for? Do it quickly!"
"Remember, everything we're doing is for the future of Shrek Academy. Don't let psychological burdens weigh you down. Stealing the blueprints isn't theft—it's just another form of pursuit for knowledge. We're soul engineers, after all. How could this be considered stealing?"
