Gong Yangmo looked a little troubled. Although he really wanted an invulnerable shield, seeing that Ma Xiaotao was determined not to let him borrow one from Ning Tian, he could only apologize to Ning Tian and give up on the idea.
Ma Xiaotao lifted her chin high, looking down at Ning Tian opposite her, wanting to know what else this timid junior could say.
Ning Tian didn't say anything more, just looked deeply at Ma Xiaotao, hoping that when they truly encountered the Death God's Messenger later, Ma Xiaotao could still be this proud.
Among these people, Ning Tian was only familiar with Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu from the same class. After politely asking Dai Huabin if he needed an invulnerable shield, Dai Huabin glanced at his older brother, Dai Yueheng, and decisively refused.
His goal was to inherit Dai Hao's position as the White Tiger Duke. He couldn't be inferior to Dai Yueheng in anything, including upholding the pride of a Soul Master.
Ning Tian didn't care about Dai Huabin's refusal at all; she hadn't intended to have a good relationship with him from the start.
Huo Yuhao had written in his Diary that Dai Huabin was one of the culprits who caused his mother's death, destined to perish alongside the White Tiger Duke's manor. There was no point in befriending Dai Huabin.
However, it was different for Zhu Lu. As a fellow girl, Ning Tian's relationship with Zhu Lu was pretty good. There was no room for refusal, so she directly gave Zhu Lu an invincibility shield, forcing it into her hands.
"Don't refuse. It's better to have it just in case."
Zhu Lu could feel that Ning Tian's concern was sincere. She pursed her lips and thanked Ning Tian. Ning Tian just patted her shoulder and didn't say anything more.
Xuan Zi rolled his eyes at this scene and waved his hand impatiently.
"Alright, alright, stop wasting time. Let's set off now. First, kill that Death God's Messenger, then go to Star Luo City!"
Huo Yuhao blinked, looking at Gu Yue Na in front of him with surprise.
"You mean, you're already at the level of a Level 8 Soul Tool Master?"
Huo Yuhao was stunned.
He had never heard of Gu Yue Na learning how to make Soul Tools from anyone. He only knew that all the girls, including Gu Yue Na, began to learn about Soul Tools after entering the Sun Moon Royal Soul Tool Academy. They had no resistance to this technology that was destined to lead the future, but instead studied how to use them properly.
Developing and making new Soul Tools does require a high level of talent, coupled with imaginative thinking. However, there was no difficulty at all in learning how to use them.
But, Huo Yuhao really didn't expect that Gu Yue Na would secretly learn how to make Soul Tools!
Could it be that the Silver Dragon King was feeling a sense of crisis, so she wanted to have more common topics with him in this way? She was deliberately keeping it a secret, secretly trying to outdo others, right?
Gu Yue Na was very satisfied with Huo Yuhao's stunned reaction. She had originally planned to tell Huo Yuhao after she reached the level of a Level 9 Soul Tool Master, so that he could ask her if he had any problems in the future.
But his earlier hugging and cuddling with Xue Di had, in the end, stimulated Gu Yue Na, making her realize that her strategy was simply wrong! If she continued to hide it and play the long game, after a while, Huo Yuhao's brotherly affection with Xue Di would really change! In that situation, it would be too difficult to make a comeback.
So, it was still the most correct choice to step in early.
Although Gu Yue Na was very pleased inside, on the surface she looked calm and composed.
"What's wrong? It's just a Level 8 Soul Tool Master. Is there something to be surprised about?"
Huo Yuhao was speechless.
Gu Yue Na has really gone bad. She's so skilled at pretending!
If that Xiao Hongchen had even a tenth of Gu Yue Na's skill, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly during the selection of participants.
"Uh..."
Huo Yuhao scratched his head, deliberately trying to get a reaction from Gu Yue Na.
"It's not that I'm surprised. I just don't understand why you suddenly became so interested in Soul Tools?"
"Because I think Soul Tools are special. I vaguely feel that Level 9 isn't the limit for Soul Tools, so I want to see if I can get some improvement in Soul Tools."
Gu Yue Na really wanted to roll her eyes at this guy. If it wasn't to have more common ground with him, would she have to secretly study how to make Soul Tools?
In order to improve her Soul Tool making skills faster, after applying for a lab, Gu Yue Na had been secretly observing Huo Yuhao's methods with her powerful, peerless spirit power on the Douluo Continent. Adding her own comprehension, along with the academy's teaching materials and various Soul Tool demonstrations, she finally reached the current Level 8 Soul Tool Master level.
The dignified Silver Dragon King, the Ruler of Soul Beasts, stooping to such measures just to get close to a man, was it easy for her?
And what did Huo Yuhao do? In front of everyone, he was hugging and cuddling with Xue Di! If it weren't for her strong self-control, Gu Yue Na would have given Huo Yuhao a good, satisfying combat training session too!
But facing Huo Yuhao's question, Gu Yue Na was truly at a loss for how to answer. Telling the truth was out of the question, so she could only use another excuse to gloss things over.
Facing Gu Yue Na's lie, Huo Yuhao didn't hesitate at all, directly exposing her secretly competitive true colors in the Diary.
[Good heavens! Gu Yue Na has already become a Level 8 Soul Tool Master without anyone noticing?]
Gu Yue Na: ?
After seeing the sudden content that appeared in the Diary, Gu Yue Na clenched her small fists, doing her best to suppress the urge to suddenly burst out and pummel Huo Yuhao.
The reason why she had always hidden the fact that she was researching and making Soul Tools was to prevent others from doing the same. That way, even if others' abilities weren't as good as hers, the competition would definitely gradually increase.
But now, she had just confessed to Huo Yuhao, and this guy immediately stabbed her in the back in the Diary.
Gu Yue Na could clearly feel that after Huo Yuhao wrote those words, gazes quietly landed on her.
Tsk.
So, that's how we're playing this?
'Just you wait, Huo Yuhao. Sooner or later, you'll have a chance to learn the price of doing this!'
Huo Yuhao didn't care at all what Gu Yue Na was thinking, and continued to stab this Douluo world's number one beauty in the back in his diary.
"I think, not only do I not know about Gu Yue Na researching Soul Tools, but even Di Qiu'er, who lives with her in the same dorm, probably doesn't know. Let alone anyone else. Secretly competing with her good friend, huh? Tsk tsk tsk, truly worthy of you, Gu Yue Na!"
"However, to become a Level 8 Soul Tool Master in such a short time… she really was a mecha designer in Douluo 3. If that's the case, after this Soul Master Tournament is over, maybe I can try researching Battle Armor with Gu Yue Na? I can have Jing Hongchen take me to Mingde Hall to see that mecha. That should bring some inspiration for Battle Armor."
"If that's the case, then my partner, who I'll be spending all my time with, will change from Xiao Hongchen to Gu Yue Na!"
In an instant, gazes fell on Gu Yue Na like knives. If eyes could kill, Gu Yue Na's body would be riddled with holes!
