Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler-Chapter 249: Spy

--- Chapter 248 ---

After the continental second round ended, the holy son's surprising capability immediately spread on the douluo continent.

It was only a quarter of the day after the second round, but every middle-class to high-class clan already discovered about the holy son.

"A handsome young man with glimmering silver hairs, summoning a humongous wave of flames."

"He defeated half of the contestant teams in a matter of seconds."

Those words sound too exaggerated, even people who watched the brief moment still couldn't believe their eyes, but they knew it was true.

In the end, some brave clans and secret organizations decided to send a few spies, which would confirm whether the news was real or not.

Bright Spirit City was really bustling with noises because of the holy son's bizarre power. They didn't even bother to talk about the second round, which only has a few noticeable moments.

As the sky became dark, several shadows soundlessly infiltrated the bright spirit city with a secret intention.

The eight passing teams and spirit hall were their targets, but something would surprise them there.

A mosquito entered the spirit hall and moved into a small corner on the outer part of the spirit palace training ground.

The mosquito transformed into a man who wore a camouflaging black suit, which somewhat was too advanced for the current era.

"Order 1, I'm in." The man whispered.

"Order 7, Search for the golden generation because our mission wasn't just for confirming information after all." An alluring woman's voice entered the man's ear.

The man nodded and quickly cut a special spiritual connection between him and his unit's captain.

He briefly looked around and transformed into a mosquito again, flying swiftly through the outer part.

"Hmm?" He suddenly noticed a group of youngsters walking in a hallway, and they matched the golden generation's descriptions.

As Order 7 remembered his mission, he quietly thought, "Second Mission, poison the golden generation, so our team could win this tournament."

Even though Order 7's objective was to find the holy son's true power, he also had another mission.

He quickly decided to follow the golden generation into a private section of the spirit palace.

"A mosquito?" Su Yanyu suddenly commented, which sank Order 7's heart abruptly.

"What are you talking about?" Hu Liena frowned when hearing Su Yanyu's statement.

Su Yanyu slowly smiled and answered, "Nothing, just my imagination, I guess."

Hu Liena tilted her head and looked at this ridiculous girl with a doubt. 'What a liar.' She thought.

"Fine," Hu Liena walked away. "Thank god, We have to be in one team only for this tournament."

Su Yanyu shrugged and followed Hu Liena into the inner part of the spirit palace, where Liu Erlong waited for them.

Of course, She briefly glanced over to look at a mosquito near a hallway's corner. "Interesting." She whispered.

Order 7 sighed deeply and shook his head because there was no way a contestant could notice his presence after all.

He absorbed a 10,000 years old skull spirit bone, which could nullify any detection from his enemy. Even a titled douluo will have a hard time finding him.

"There is no way a bunch of kids could detect me, even if they are geniuses." Order 7 murmured with confidence, not aware a pair of red eyes already saw him from afar.

--- Training Ground ---

Yunlong tested his maids' new abilities, but his Heaven's eyes suddenly detected several flies entering the spirit hall's territory.

Heaven's eyes were an active skill, which could monitor anything with spiritual energy. Unless the unknown person had higher spiritual power than Yunlong, they wouldn't be able to hide from him.

Yunlong already tried this once with Asura God when he fought him and was devastated because Heaven's eyes couldn't sense that man's presence.

"Frozen World." Chu Xiaoyu abruptly appeared in front of him.

Clear ice quickly was formed under their feet and transformed into a domain with several floating ice swords.

Yunlong smirked and stomped his feet onto the ground, shaking the entire training ground with a tremor.

Boom!

The ice domain abruptly was canceled, but the floating ice swords were still flying toward Yunlong.

Yunlong grabbed a hovering paved floor, which broke because of his stomp. He hardened it with material reinforcement and threw it at Chu Xiaoyu's ice swords.

Chu Xiaoyu frowned because Yunlong's movement became unclear.

'Where is he?' She calmly thought while closing her eyes.

A tingling cold abruptly reached over her neck, and Chu Xiaoyu instinctively tilted her head away to the left. It was shark debris that Yunlong threw a second ago.

Chu Xiaoyu inhaled a cold mist and drew a clear horizontal cut at her right side. It wasn't just a simple slash because extremely-cold sword intent actually was imbued into it.

"You have become stronger, Xiaoyu." Yunlong gently praised while mercilessly kicking her stomach.

Cough!

"Too fast..." Chu Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and launched a few meters away.

A presence appeared above Yunlong, and he shook his head a little.

He cracked his neck slightly and grabbed a kick that almost hit his neck. "Try again." He commented while throwing Zhu Zhuqing onto a concrete wall.

BOOM!

A powerful lightning bolt fell straight at Yunlong, but he casually took one step back and kicked the thunder spear back to Yu Ning'er.

Yu Ning'er caught it back with her hand, but Yunlong already flashed onto her face and threw her away with a kick.

"Chaos Buddha Lotus." Bai Xue's soothing voice echoed.

She naturally stood with a silver-golden lotus on her palm, which was burning violently on the inside.

"Take this, young master." She pointed her fiery broom at Yunlong.

Yunlong grinned for a moment because this fire lotus could kill a spirit saint if they unexpectedly were caught off guard. If they didn't, then they might get serious burn injuries.

"She got the most benefit, huh." He commented while creating a miniature ice storm in his palm. "Good for you, Bai Xue."

Yunlong slapped the buddha lotus on the ground and showered it with a cold storm.

"Here, you also have to feel it too." He grasped Bai Xue's neck in an instant.

Bai Xue felt a weird feeling across her entire body and tried to use her flame, but it was useless because Yunlong bound her in ice already.

"Uugh, young master... You should have lowered your guard a little, you know." Bai Xue protested while literally freezing in the cold.

"I don't see them protesting, though." Yunlong shrugged his shoulders, which caused Bai Xue's mouth to twitch.

"They are a bunch of M..." Bai Xue quietly muttered.

"Hmm?" Yunlong obviously heard Bai Xue's words.

"Of course, they won't protest." Bai Xue cleared her throat. "In the first place. They are a bunch of training freaks."

"Is that so?" Yunlong chuckled, which left Bai Xue speechless.

Yu Ning'er heard this and dissed, "Say the one who was locking herself in a cave for a month, only to create a pill."

"Huh?!" Bai Xue snapped. "Only? MY RESEARCH IS MORE IMPORTANT, YOU LIGHTNING RAT!"

Yu Ning'er also reacted the same way and was ready to call a lightning storm.

However, Chu Yunxi appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Yu Ning'er by hand. "Calm down." She gently smiled.

"Senior Yunxi..." Yu Ning'er sighed in defeat.

Yunlong moved his gaze over a training ground and saw a mosquito observing them from afar.

"Well, it's time to hunt some flies and rats."

He didn't say much, but a brief mental massage was enough to tell his maids about their mission. "I'll give you a reward according to the amount you get."

"Okay." Yu Ning'er cheerfully nodded.

"Noted." Bai Xue broke off her ice sealing.

Yunlong glanced over Bibi Dong's office and saw her nodding her head. "Like what she had expected." He said.

"Well, let's start."

BOOM!

Yunlong disappeared from everyone's gaze and appeared in front of the mosquito.

"Hello there, little spy." He coldly said.

Order 7 couldn't believe his eyes but witnessed the silver-haired young man suddenly appear and smile at him, sending a chill into his spine.

He quickly sent an emergency message, but it was futile because Yunlong's spiritual energy not only enveloped the entire area but also sealed any external connection.

"Don't worry, let's have a little talk." Yunlong's eyes slowly turned into sharingan.

Order 7 couldn't move his body and silently thought, "D-Devil."
