Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 169 Everyone’s Surprise

Therefore, Ji Juechen's usual methods of attack are to use close-combat soul tools and self-created combat techniques.

With his terrifying soul power amplification, as long as he is willing to continue wielding his sword, he will have a great advantage in close combat.

Combat skills are different from self-created soul skills. "Reign Over the World" is a combat skill, not a self-created soul skill. However, although it is not a self-created soul skill, it is even better than a soul skill.

A large number of ice swords were shattered by Ji Juechen.

Just as Ji Juechen was about to continue searching for Huo Yuhao, he discovered that Huo Yuhao had disappeared.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Ji Juechen shattered the ice sword, Huo Yuhao directly chose to use his simulated soul skill.

He had become one with his environment at this moment. Ji Juechen would not be able to find him immediately, but he would eventually find him.

After all, Huo Yuhao cannot leave the Soul Arena; if he chooses to leave, it means he has lost.

"Next, we should try to make a decisive move. Hmm, Ji Juechen's close combat is indeed strong. After all, all of this guy's soul skills are designed to amplify his own soul power. It's like he's given up all the fancy soul skills and focused on one area."

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao directly summoned the Snow Emperor's soul spirit.

He communicated briefly with the Snow Empress's spirit through a mental link, and then the Snow Empress's spirit followed Huo Yuhao, concealing its form, and flew towards Ji Juechen's direction.

Because of the effect of the simulated soul skill coverage, Ji Juechen did not notice the arrival of the two.

This is actually quite normal. In the original story, Huo Gua once used a simulated soul skill to run away with Dai Hao and even attacked others. If it weren't for Huo Gua taking the initiative, even Ye Yulin, a titled Douluo, wouldn't have been able to find Huo Gua's whereabouts.

Soon, Huo Yuhao and Xue Di's soul stealthily approached Ji Juechen's vicinity.

Then the Snow Emperor unleashed the Snow Emperor's Three Ultimate Techniques: Emperor's Cold Heaven - Snow Dance Shining in the Sun, Emperor's Sword, and Emperor's Palm.

Of course, launching an attack would mean that Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill would be rendered ineffective, and Ji Juechen would instantly realize Huo Yuhao's location.

Snowstorm raged, and the temperature in the air plummeted at an unimaginable speed. A sharp ice sword slashed towards Ji Juechen, and at the same time, the Snow Empress struck out with her palm at Ji Juechen.

boom!
Ji Juechen's defensive soul guide shield was automatically activated instantly, but it only lasted for a moment before shattering under Xue Di's attack.

The next moment, Ji Juechen was instantly covered in ice and snow, his face turned pale, and he was completely unable to move.

The Snow Empress's spirit's palm was now pressed against Ji Juechen's body. Huo Yuhao looked at Ji Juechen and said, "Alright, Ji Juechen, I won. Don't move around. I need to resolve the issue of your body being frozen."

Since his soul spirit was originally part of his strength, he naturally couldn't abandon it and directly confront Ji Juechen, the Soul Emperor.

Jing Ziyan, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Huo Yuhao actually won? Ji Juechen, a Soul Emperor, lost to a Soul Sect? This is impossible!"

She knew of the existence of spirits, but because her strength had not reached the level required to obtain the next spirit ring, she naturally had no chance of obtaining a spirit at present.

After all, most people in this world only have one martial soul, and those who possess twin martial souls are extremely rare.

But can a spirit really be that powerful?

She felt that Huo Yuhao's soul seemed excessively strong.

She wasn't unaware of how strong other people's souls were, but the problem was that compared to Huo Yuhao's soul, the other people's souls seemed utterly mediocre.

Xuan Ziwen was also somewhat shocked: "Yuhao actually won! This..."

He felt that Huo Yuhao's strength exceeded his imagination. He knew that Ji Juechen was currently at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, not to learn anything, but simply to fight. Those peers who fought Ji Juechen had almost all lost to him.

However, Huo Yuhao defeated Ji Juechen. If this news were to spread, it would surely cause a huge uproar among the young people in the academy.

"I told you this was a battle with no suspense. Alright, now that the fight is over, I need to see Elder Kong." Jing Hongchen waved his hand and left.

Ji Juechen looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Huo Yuhao, I'm a little curious. What exactly did you do just now that made me feel thirsty and unsteady on my feet? Was it a soul skill that could poison others?"

"That is indeed a soul skill, but its effect is not to poison others." Huo Yuhao did not elaborate further.

He continued to remove the frost from Ji Juechen's body. Although the Snow Empress held back at the crucial moment, Ji Juechen still suffered some damage. Of course, the damage was not fatal. He would find a healing-type Soul Master to treat him later, and Ji Juechen would recover instantly.

"By the way, do you remember the conditions you promised me before?"

"Feel free to make any requests, but I hope we can have another match sometime in the future," Ji Juechen said.

Huo Yuhao said with some helplessness, "My request is very simple, that is, I want you to join the Spirit Pagoda. After all, our Spirit Pagoda is indeed short of people right now."

With proper training, Ji Juechen will definitely become a Title Douluo in the future, so recruiting him is undoubtedly a worthwhile endeavor.

Ji Juechen nodded: "Okay."

Mingde Hall.

Kong Deming looked worriedly at the abandoned soul tool in front of him.

For him, making soul tools is something he does every day, after all, he has always wanted to become a level 10 soul master.

Becoming a level 10 Soul Master is definitely not an easy task.

Throughout the history of Sun and Moon, many level nine Soul Masters have tried to become level ten Soul Masters.

But they all failed in the end because the production of a level 10 soul tool is extremely difficult.

"If we still can't create a level 10 soul tool using core array number 562, it means that this core array is a failure. It seems we can only continue researching it, but we don't know when we will be able to research a suitable core array."

He walked away from the lab table, went to the window, opened it, and looked down at the passersby, trying to calm himself down.

Suddenly, Jing Hongchen appeared at the window, hovering in mid-air, and said, "Elder Kong, I have good news to report to you!"

Kong Deming was taken aback, then frowned and asked, "Good news? What good news?"

Jing Hongchen spoke up: "As I told you before, Ji Juechen and Huo Yuhao were going to have a fight, and now the battle is over. Guess who won?"

A smile appeared on Kong Deming's face: "Judging from your expression, Huo Yuhao must have won. But how did he win?"

He has been locking himself in the laboratory these days to study soul tools, so he doesn't know much about the outside world.

Jing Hongchen said, "He didn't use too many soul tools; he relied solely on his soul spirit and soul skills to defeat a Soul Emperor with overwhelming force."

Although Yuhao possessed a 100,000-year-old soul spirit, Ji Juechen's strength was comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Saint. Even so, Ji Juechen still lost to Yuhao.

"Oh?" Kong Deming's eyes lit up with surprise. "So you defeated Ji Juechen in this way? I know Ji Juechen, after all, he is very unconventional. However, his strength is not weak among his peers."

Yuhao's strength is getting stronger and stronger. To crush a Soul Emperor while only being a Soul Master, doesn't that mean Yuhao now possesses the strength of a Soul Saint?
