Chapter 69 Entering the Three Kingdoms City [Seeking monthly tickets]
Huo Yuhao looked up at the city gate and saw a bald man walking towards him.
It was Long Yue.
Everyone in Three Kingdoms City exclaimed in surprise. After all, they hadn't seen City Lord Long Yue personally welcome a newcomer in a long time.
"It seems that this newcomer will soon become a celebrity around the City Lord!
Just like Qiangu Zhangting a few days ago!"
"This newcomer just defeated the tenth deputy city lord. According to the rules, he is now the tenth deputy city lord!"
"This newcomer is too strong!"
...
Qiangu Zhuojue looked at the people around him who were talking and he wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. He didn't expect that after more than three years of hard training, he was still crushed by Huo Yuhao.
Huo Yuhao looked at Long Yue, who had brought great pressure to Tang Wulin in the original work, and nodded slightly.
Long Yue touched his big bald head: "Haha.
"This little brother is truly formidable. May I know your name?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly, "My name is Huo Yuhao."
Long Yue was currently at the peak of his Soul Emperor realm, poised to break through to Soul Sage at any moment.
However, if he did, he would be immediately expelled from the Dragon Realm.
Therefore, he needed to train the next Lord of Three Kingdoms City before reaching Soul Sage.
Some time ago, Qiangu Zhangting, from the Qiangu Clan of the Douluo Federation, had given Long Yue hope.
Qiangu Zhangting was a level 65 Soul Emperor, his overall strength approaching his own, and he would have spent at least a year in the Dragon Realm.
And now, along came Huo Yuhao, who had easily defeated Qiangu Zhuojue.
Long Yue was well aware of Qiangu Zhuojue's strength. While he wasn't as strong as his brother, Qiangu Zhangting, that was largely due to the three-year age difference.
If Qiangu Zhuojue had the opportunity in the future, he might well surpass his brother.
Moreover, upon arriving in Three Kingdoms City, Qiangu Zhuojue had already defeated the original tenth deputy city lord.
Unexpectedly, after only a few days in office, he was easily defeated by the newcomer, Huo Yuhao.
And judging by the looks of it, Huo Yuhao wasn't even exerting his full strength.
Had he given it his all, he would likely have been as strong as the fifth deputy city lord.
Most importantly, Huo Yuhao is currently only a five-ringed Soul King, meaning he will remain in the Dragon Realm for at least three years.
Once Qiangu Zhangting is forced out of the Dragon Realm after reaching Soul Sage, Huo Yuhao will be able to take over the city lord position.
This way, the Douluo Three Kingdoms will have sufficient Dragon Soul resources for at least the next five years.
As a member of the Xingluo Empire, Long Yue doesn't want the Three Kingdoms City left in the Dragon Realm to be destroyed after his departure.
This way, when the Dragon Crystal appears this year, Long Yue won't have to suppress his strength and can go all out in the fight.
Long Yue was incredibly happy. He turned to look at Gu Yuena, his gaze narrowing slightly.
"If I'm not mistaken, this girl also possesses pure dragon blood."
As soon as Long Yue finished speaking, everyone in Three Kingdoms City looked at Gu Yuena in shock.
"Another soul master with pure dragon blood?"
In the Dragon Realm, while anyone could absorb dragon clouds of the same attribute, as well as dragon souls of any attribute,
soul masters with pure dragon blood were the easiest to achieve, whether attracting dragon clouds or hunting dragon souls.
It could be said that soul masters with pure dragon blood thrived in the Dragon Realm.
Examples include Long Yue, who possessed the Mountain Dragon King martial spirit, and Qiangu Zhangting, who possessed the Coiling Dragon Staff martial spirit.
Five years ago, when Long Yue first entered the Dragon Realm, he was still a mere Soul Master.
However, relying on his Mountain Dragon King martial spirit, he absorbed vast amounts of dragon clouds and dragon souls in this dragon realm, and his strength grew. He then defeated the previous city lord three years ago.
And now, Long Yue has been guarding the Three Kingdoms City for three full years.
If he hadn't been suppressing his soul power, he would have broken through to the Soul Saint realm long ago!
Long Yue has pure Mountain Dragon King blood in his body, so naturally he can feel the dragon blood in Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena.
And what shocked him the most was that he felt a hint of suppression from Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena's blood.
"The level of the dragon blood in their bodies is higher than mine!
But I am a pure Mountain Dragon King blood, one of the nine dragon kings!
Is there any other blood that can suppress me?"
Although he was full of doubts, the enthusiasm on Long Yue's face did not diminish at all.
"Two geniuses came at once today.
"I will now personally receive you and brief you on the current situation within the Dragon Realm."
Everyone in Three Kingdoms City looked at Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena with envy. These two newcomers were actually being received personally by the City Lord.
Back then, when they first arrived in Three Kingdoms City, not only was no one welcoming them, but they were even beaten up by the Deputy City Lord in charge of the assessment!
Huo Yuhao clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, City Lord Long Yue!"
Long Yue walked in front, explaining the situation within the Dragon Realm to Huo Yuhao and the others as he walked.
"Currently, there are over a thousand spirit masters in Three Kingdoms City. They
are divided into one City Lord, ten Deputy City Lords, and one hundred deacons.
Our daily task is to search for and capture dragon souls.
Any dragon soul you capture counts as yours, and you can choose to absorb it immediately or place it in a special container and take it back to Douluo Planet."
Because these one thousand spirit masters come from three different countries, capturing dragon souls is equivalent to seeking resources for one's own country.
Now you are the tenth deputy city lord and can command a team of one hundred spirit masters.
You are from the Douluo Federation, so you will be assigned a team of one hundred spirit masters from the Douluo Federation in a while.
It will take some time before we can condense one dragon crystal every year, so our main task recently is to receive newcomers who have just been teleported into the Dragon Realm and collect dragon souls. "
Huo Yuhao nodded: "I understand."
As he spoke, they walked to a courtyard.
"Okay, this is your exclusive residence as deputy city lord.
If you have any questions later, you can ask me."
Huo Yuhao nodded: "Thank you."
After Long Yue left, Gu Yuena turned her head and looked at Huo Yuhao:
"This guy is quite strong, but you should be able to defeat him.
Once we take his position as City Lord, we can gather all our strength to explore the depths of the Dragon Realm."
Huo Yuhao shook his head. "We've only just entered the Dragon Realm and aren't familiar with it yet, so there's no need to be so high-profile. We'll
talk about it once we're more familiar with the place.
I've left spiritual marks on the other companions, and I can sense that only four of them are currently in Three Kingdoms City. The other three are still unaccounted for.
We need to hurry and find them, as we're already quite late.
The other three haven't shown up yet, so they're likely in danger."
As he spoke, several anxious voices echoed in the distance:
"Boss Huo! Boss Huo!"
