Selection & Rescue

On the crystal dining table closest to Xu Hann in the hall, a blond girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen was gracefully holding a glass cup in her hand. The girl's face was extremely beautiful, and her blond hair, floating down under the slightly dim light of the soul guide, had a dark golden color, as if covered with a layer of tassels, adding a bit of psychedelic color to her. Wearing a pure white pleated dress, revealing white shoulders and collarbone.

The precious ice silk gloves on both hands wrap the slender fingers.

A sapphire necklace the size of a pigeon egg adorns her chest, complementing the girl's fair skin.

The light of wisdom shone in her blue eyes, and beside her, there were many other noble ladies vying to surround her.

When his eyes moved to the girl's side, Xu Hann narrowed his eyes slightly.

His memory has always been very good, and he can almost never forget it. Perhaps this is also a precursor to his ability to awaken the golden boy, the martial soul of the spirit attribute.

From his memory, he remembered that this girl seemed to be the daughter of a powerful marquis in the Sun Moon Empire. When he was young, he had contact with him.

As for the name, Xu Hann didn't care about it at the beginning, so naturally he didn't have any impression about it in his mind.

The girl who seemed to be talking, but was actually focusing on Xu Hann, pretended to be surprised on purpose, raised the glass cup in her hand with her red lips slightly parted, and walked towards Xu Hann in the direction of the nobles of the Sun and Moon Empire. elegant etiquette.

Xu Hann also nodded slightly, and then looked away.

A very scheming woman.

This is Xu Hann's evaluation of the girl.

No matter how naturally the girl handled it, and the expression on her face was flawless, it was hard to hide the emotion deep in her eyes.

The eyes are the windows to the soul and the area of ​​the human body that is most likely to expose people's true emotions. Only an extremely powerful soul master can hide perfectly.

As the son of a very powerful prince, Xu Hann has been educated to become a high-ranking person in the royal family since he was a child. Trying to figure out people's hearts is one of the most critical ones.

Coupled with the awakening of the spiritual attribute of the body Wuhun Jintong, he can observe the changes in the depths of the human eye more carefully.

"Your Highness, that is Yin Ziyue, the second daughter of the Marquis family of Yincheng in Mingdu." Yu Yun, the head of the Lan Hai Soul Mentor Group, reminded him respectfully.

Yu Yun is an old man who looks less than 1.65 meters tall, with a thin body and dark skin. A typical person from the coastal areas of the Sun Moon Empire.

Originally, he didn't have much respect for the exiled prince. After all, under the current situation, no one dared to have anything to do with Xu Hann, who was almost impossible to turn over.

But seeing the respectful attitude of Hai Xiao, who is the confidant of the great prince Xu Tianran, towards Xu Hann, he naturally dared not act out of his own with his active mind.

Xu Hann indifferently put down the golden vessel engraved with magnificent patterns in his hand, and raised his head again to look in Yin Ziyue's direction.

"Only ten of them. Master Yu Yun, please go back and thank Brother Huang for his kindness."

The emperor brother he mentioned, of course, refers to His Highness Xu Tianran, the eldest prince who is most likely to inherit the throne of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Your Highness, this subordinate must convey the message to His Royal Highness the First Prince." Yu Yun hurriedly got up and saluted.

Xu Hann didn't say anything more, got up and left the hall directly under the escort of several soldiers.

The moment Xu Hann stood up and left, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. Because those noble ladies knew that Xu Hann had already made a choice.

Many expectant eyes moved to Xu Hann's body, but no one made a sound.

It wasn't until Xu Hann left that there were whispers of conversation in the hall.

"Ziyue, I just noticed that His Royal Highness the prince has been looking at us, do you think we are very likely to be selected?!" A blue-haired girl with a very proud figure beside Yin Ziyue said happily He clenched his pink fist, his chest was choppy.

"If it is possible to give birth to an offspring with the imperial family's Zihuang Mietianlong Wuhun, the family will also be able to reverse its decline."

Among the one hundred noble ladies who came here, most of them were in a similar situation to her. Because of various difficulties.

Otherwise, if it was a top aristocrat with a prominent background, he would not let the family's first daughter do such a thing at all.

Don't gossip behind other nobles' backs, and more importantly, this kind of matter involving the inheritance of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family is too sensitive. Maybe it will bring disaster to the family.

But Yin Ziyue was an exception, she asked to come here, even at the expense of her relationship with the family.

She is only the second daughter of the family, although in the Sun Moon Empire and the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, women can also inherit the title of the family. But she is not a descendant.

Throughout his life, he would have no relationship with the title of the family, and maybe it would be used as a marriage tool to consolidate the power of the family.

She is not reconciled to this, instead of being manipulated by the family at will and living her life like a puppet, she might as well try to create a turning point by herself.

Relying on the power of her family, she got some inside information about Xu Hann.

Congenitally full of soul power, the purity of blood has been extremely rare in the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire for thousands of years.

If done right, the possibilities are endless.

Because of the turbulent emotions in her heart, Yin Ziyue's jade hands holding the glass cup trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly charmingly and confidently.

All the noble ladies clustered around Yin Ziyue were proud of themselves, while Yu Yun, who was sitting at the head of the hall, heaved a sigh of relief.

"Head of the Haixiao Division, since His Royal Highness has already made a choice, let me prepare for the return trip tomorrow morning. Let's not bother you tonight."

The ten aristocratic ladies headed by Yin Ziyue that Xu Hann selected were basically the most powerful aristocrats behind them. Now that he stayed on the island, the return journey would not be as stressful as when he came.

"Master Yu Yun, please go ahead." Hai Xiao didn't get up, but watched Yu Yun leave the castle. Then he ordered his subordinates to take the ten selected noble ladies into the castle.

As for those who were not selected, they were sent back to the giant ship. The castle can't accommodate so many people, and there are too many people, and problems are more likely to occur.

Hai Xiao brought her burly body to the flower garden in front of the castle, looked at the silver crescent moon hanging high in the night sky, and said in a deep voice.

"Come on."

A soldier covered in blue armor knelt down on one knee behind Hai Xiao. This blue armor stomach is the standard equipment of the Xihai soul engineer group.

From this, it can be seen that it is completely different from Yu Yun's miscellaneous soul engineer group.

"The notice will go on, let everyone not rest tonight, and strengthen the security on the city wall. Especially near the port in the east."

"Yes! Division head!"

The port is built on the east wall of the island, and the port can be built. The terrain here is also the most gentle area on the entire island.

The giant ship with a length of more than 200 meters is moored at the port smoothly.

The night is deep, and the night of late autumn at sea is bitterly cold. The fifty or sixty soldiers of the Lan Hai Soul Engineering Corps guarding the deck all curled up, moving their hands and feet from time to time to keep warm and maintain their body temperature.

Not all soul masters are able to protect against cold and heat. To achieve this, one must either have a special martial soul, similar to a martial soul with ice and fire attributes, or one must have a strong soul power.

In the Lan Hai Soul Engineer Group, a miscellaneous soul engineer group that is not ranked at all in the Sun Moon Empire, there are obviously less than one in a hundred soldiers who can meet these conditions.

The cultivation bases of the soldiers were uneven, and the vast majority of soul power cultivation bases were only around level 30. Not to mention that almost all the cultivation methods of these soul masters focus on improving soul power, and their physical fitness is much inferior to the traditional soul masters who originally belonged to the three major empires of the Douluo Continent. At best, it is better than ordinary people.

"Damn it, we are really destined to suffer. It's not like those noble ladies." A tall and thin young man in a black suit lowered his head and let out a sigh of relief, complaining dissatisfiedly with his colleagues around him.

Different from the dark and cold deck, the fifth-floor cabins on the giant ship's deck are still brightly lit, and even the rooms of those noble ladies are equipped with soul guides that can be heated.

The person next to the tall and thin young man looked about the same age as him, but his body shape was almost spherical. The short and fat young man sat down against the railing on the deck, an inexplicable smile flashed in his small eyes, he moved his fat body a little, and then he put his hands together and said in a strange way: "Isn't it because we didn't work hard enough? We must know how to be grateful. Be grateful That's it."

"Work hard? What's the use of hard work? Hard work can make you innately possess a powerful martial spirit like those noble children?"

The tall and thin young man snorted coldly, and sat down beside the short and fat young man depressedly. They came from the same fishing village on the coastal border of the Sun Moon Empire, and the two had already become very familiar with each other. He naturally knew the meaning of the short and fat young man's words, he just complained along the lines.

The short and fat young man kicked the tall and thin young man with his feet, showing a wretched smile.

"How about it, why don't you try to knock on the doors of those noble ladies. What if someone really doesn't open their eyes to you? Maybe your boy will be able to ascend to the sky in one step."

"If you want to go by yourself, I don't want to feel uncomfortable. I still have this self-knowledge." The thin and tall young man replied angrily, raising his head to look around.

No matter how poor the military discipline of their Lan Hai soul engineer group is, they dare not be lazy in the eyes of the head of the division.

But it was a coincidence that Yu Yun took a few soldiers onto the deck along the iron plate built in the port.

"Don't be lazy, the head of the division is here." He hastily shouted at his companions, stood up shrewdly and straightened his back.

A series of voices of getting up sparsely sounded, and the thin Yu Yun stared coldly at the soldiers on the deck for a week.

"Tomorrow morning, I will prepare to counter-navigate, so please be smart."

"Yes! Division head!"

Everyone responded in unison, but the strange thing was that each soldier of the Lan Hai Soul Engineer Corps heard only his own voice. Obviously those colleagues are by his side.

Immediately afterwards, the deck, which originally had a glimmer of light, fell into dead darkness without warning.

Yu Yun covered his severe paining head, his dark red eyes were bloodshot, and his face became pale. Even his consciousness became blurred.

But as a strong soul sage, he quickly reacted and let out a loud roar while releasing his martial soul.

"Enemy attack! Everyone is ready to fight."

One white, two yellow, three purple, one black, seven soul rings emerged one after another, moving slowly around his body. The shriveled muscles all over his body swelled, and the strangest thing was that a black tortoise shell with strange yellow patterns appeared out of thin air on his chest, abdomen and back.

But his low growl was completely in vain. With his soul sage level cultivation, he almost lost consciousness, let alone the soldiers of the Lan Hai soul engineer group with uneven cultivation.

"Sea Turtle Martial Soul?" A hoarse voice sounded in the darkness. At first it sounded like it was still far away, but in the next instant it seemed to explode in Yuyun's ear.

The hairs all over Yu Yun's body stood on end, the first, third, fourth and sixth, the four soul rings shone almost simultaneously.

"who?!"

His low growl was obviously much less confident than before.

The weird scene in front of him reminded him of the realm that only a very few soul masters could have. If it was really the domain, his previous roar might not be able to spread.

He can only delay the time as much as possible now, hoping that the Xihai soul engineer group on the port side can notice the strangeness on the deck. As long as Hai Xiao came over, with his eighth-level soul instructor cultivation, he could stabilize the situation.

He responded calmly.

Under the boost of the four defense-type soul skills, the black tortoise shell on Yu Yun's body swelled several times against the storm, completely covering his thin body. The dark light of soul power seemed to be solidified, flickering on the surface of the tortoise shell. Just standing here quietly, but there is quite an immovable momentum.

His Sea Turtle Martial Soul's defensive power is already amazing, and he has sufficient confidence in it. The four defensive soul skills were released at the same time, and the defensive power he possessed now was only lower than the seventh soul skill he used, Wuhun Avatar.

It's not that Yu Yun doesn't want to use the spirit avatar, he has finally climbed from a commoner to the head of the Hanhai soul engineer who now has real power, and he cherishes his life more than anyone else.

You can use the seventh soul skill, Wuhun Avatar, but you need to accumulate soul power, unlike other soul skills that can be cast instantly. Simultaneous activation of four soul skills is already the limit of what he can do.

It's just meaningless in the face of absolute strength.

A muffled hum came from Yu Yun's mouth, and the sound of broken mirrors sounded one after another. Countless dense lines suddenly appeared on the thick and huge black tortoise shell that wrapped him inside.

Then it turned into dots of light in the crash.

"Bang—" A five-fingered palm penetrated Yu Yun's left chest.

The darkness gradually dissipated, and through the light of the soul tool in the hall of the cabin, one could vaguely see a powerful old man wearing a dark purple dragon pattern armor stomach. The three claw marks on the right eye were stained with a trace of messy blood. It's daunting.

"Ahem——" Yu Yun struggled to look back, seeing the ferocious purple dragon head on the old man's chest, Tong Kong suddenly shrank.

"Emperor—Emperor Dragon..."

Bright red blood overflowed from his mouth and nose, and before he opened his mouth, he fell silent.

The person who came was Xu Hann's Wang Xiao and his party who came to the rescue.

The figure of Yao Yang appeared next to Wang Xiao, and at the same time there were more than forty elites from the former Emperor Dragon Soul Instructor Group.

As for the rest of the soldiers of the Vast Sea Soul Engineering Corps, they all fell on the deck bleeding from their seven orifices, and the cabins where the noble ladies lived also became completely silent.
