Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 224 Ji Juechen

Arriving at the teaching building of the practical training department, it is not like the teaching buildings of other Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Colleges, which are composed of classrooms and laboratories. Instead, it is more like a fighting spirit area. In addition to the area used to experiment with soul guides, most of it is used for actual combat arenas.

This is in line with the positioning of a real-control soul mentor.

Huo Yuhao came at a good time. Today was the day when the Practical Control Department conducted a practical assessment. After swiping his card to enter the viewing area, he could directly watch the competition of the Practical Control Department students.

With a quick mental detection, Huo Yuhao easily found Ji Juechen's figure in the vast crowd.

There is no other reason, he always carries a black meteorite sword on his back and has a girl by his side, this combination is too conspicuous.

Pushing through the crowd, Huo Yuhao slowly squeezed towards where Ji Juechen was.

As if sensing something, Ji Juechen suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Huo Yuhao.

"Hi."

Huo Yuhao, who had been staring at Ji Juechen, naturally noticed Ji Juechen's actions and greeted him in a friendly manner.

Noticing Ji Juechen's movements, the girl next to Ji Juechen turned her head vigilantly and looked at the crowd in the direction of Ji Juechen, trying to see who caught Ji Juechen's attention.

It was not until she saw Huo Yuhao pushing his way through the crowd towards them that the vigilance in the girl's eyes faded, but she was still a little confused.

Who is this person?
It's no wonder that the girl was full of confusion. Ji Juechen's reputation as a sword maniac was really well-known in the Actual Control Department and even in the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Because of this reputation, outsiders rarely took the initiative to find Ji Juechen.

"Hi, my name is Huo Yuhao. I wonder what your names are?"

"Ji Juechen."

"Jing Ziyan,"

The girl looked at Huo Yuhao and asked, "What do you want from us?"

"I'm just a little curious about the so-called real-control soul guidance department of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. It just so happens that there's a bit of trouble in Mingde Hall, so I don't have to go to class, so I came to take a look."

Huo Yuhao shrugged and said, “The reason I came to you is because this brother gives me the most dangerous feeling, so I came over to say hello.”

"Mingde Hall?"

The blockade of Mingde Hall did cause quite a stir, but people from other departments didn't know what had happened. They didn't expect that it had reached the point where even students inside Mingde Hall couldn't enter.

Jing Ziyan looked at the Level 3 Soul Master medal on Huo Yuhao's chest in surprise, "Isn't the most basic requirement for joining Mingde Hall to be a Level 5 Soul Master?"

"Ahem, I'm a level three soul instructor, but there are always exceptions..."

Huo Yuhao coughed awkwardly, took out the Mingde Hall Level 5 Soul Instructor badge given by Xuan Ziwen and waved it in front of the two of them, "I am an exchange student from Shrek, so I naturally qualify for this exception."

"Are you from Shrek?"

Ji Juechen's eyes lit up.

Whether Huo Yuhao is a third-level soul engineer or a fifth-level soul engineer, it has nothing to do with Ji Juechen, but Ji Juechen is very interested in the identity of a Shrek student.

"Of course it's true. There's no benefit in pretending to be Shrek in the Sun Moon Empire."

Ji Juechen said with great interest: "How about we have a competition?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Ji Juechen, whose combat power was considered above average among the Shrek Soul Emperors, and hesitated for a moment.

It's not that you can't fight, but if you want to kidnap Ji Juechen, you have to show some real skills. However, if you do this, there is a high probability that you will be entangled by Ji Juechen in the future...

Just as Huo Yuhao was hesitating, the game on the stage had ended and the referee had begun to announce the contestants for the next game.

"The next match is between Nana and... please invite two students to the stage."

"what?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the girl on the arena with some surprise.

The female student was not particularly pretty, but her wheat-colored skin looked very healthy. She was slender and tall, and over 1.8 meters tall.

As she walked onto the stage, the girl pulled her long dark red hair up into a ponytail, which made her look more neat. Paired with her yellow school uniform, she actually looked quite heroic.

Such a coincidence?
I came to the Actual Control Department with nothing to do and happened to encounter an assessment. Everyone in the department gathered together. Just as I found Ji Juechen, another famous supporting character in the original novel appeared again.

Huo Yuhao raised his head and looked up at the sky, not knowing whether this luck came from the Lord of the Planes, or...

Shaking his head violently, Huo Yuhao put aside some unnecessary thoughts and focused on watching the game.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao did not agree to compete, Ji Juechen frowned slightly.

"Will the people of Shrek also be afraid of fighting?"

Ignoring Ji Juechen's words, Huo Yuhao continued watching the game.

After all, it was an assessment organized within the academy, and the levels of both sides were similar. Nana's opponent, a red man holding a red sword, chased Nana and slashed her with the help of a flying soul guide.

Faced with the large-scale fire-attribute slashing, Nana dodged left and right in a somewhat awkward manner, narrowly brushing against the blade several times, causing a group of ignorant soul masters to exclaim in amazement.

Jing Ziyan suddenly said: "Nana is going to lose."

Just as Ji Juechen was about to speak, he felt Jing Ziyan hitting his waist with her elbow. Only then did he realize that Jing Ziyan had said this on purpose, wanting to test Huo Yuhao's eyesight for him.

Even without turning on mind sharing, Huo Yuhao's sensitive mental power could detect this small movement, not to mention that Huo Yuhao's mind sharing and simulation were normally turned on outside.

"There's no need to deliberately cheat me,"

Huo Yuhao looked at the two of them helplessly. “Although that guy is very impressive with his broadsword and his skills are acceptable, it’s obvious that he doesn’t have much practical awareness. He actually wants to chase after an Agility-type player of similar level with a broadsword. Sooner or later, he will be exhausted.”

Of course, if it was a crushing game, there was nothing wrong with that, but the mistake was that when the levels of both sides were similar, the man with the big knife actually wanted to use his own weakness to attack the other person's strength.

Ji Juechen nodded slightly, agreeing with Huo Yuhao's opinion. Apart from anything else, Huo Yuhao's eyesight was already better than more than 99% of the students in the Practical Control Department.

After all, the dance of this fiery red sword is really scary.

Sure enough, not long after, the rhythm of the big knife man began to become a little unstable, the frequency of slashing decreased, and even the speed of the flying soul guide device slowed down. Nana, who had been dodging, finally showed her fangs, seized the big knife man's flaw, and stabbed the big knife man's vitals with a short blade.

The man with the big knife intended to defend himself, but his soul power was insufficient, and he could not build a soul shield strong enough. He could only use the method of exchanging injuries for injuries and use the blade to attack Nana's body.

In this case, the referee would most likely intervene to stop it, and then define the result as a draw, which would also avoid deductions. However, how could Nana ignore this when she stepped forward at this time? Seeing the blade about to cut her body, Nana's third soul ring flickered, and her body became weak, causing the sword man's blood exchange knife to miss, and at the same time, Nana's short knife also grazed the sword man's shoulder.

"The winner is Nana."

The referee pulled the two apart and then announced the result.

After seeing Nana's third soul skill called Void Transformation, Huo Yuhao was completely certain that this was the Nana who was related to the Holy Spirit Church. He calculated in his mind when he would find time to check in.

"Nana's match is the last one. From now on, the arena will be available for the students to use. How about going up and fighting?"

Faced with Ji Juechen's challenge for another battle, Huo Yuhao finally nodded.

"Let me make it clear in advance. I am a control-type combat soul master, with a bias towards auxiliary abilities. I am only good at some boxing and kicking skills..."

"It's okay." Ji Juechen said calmly: "I will control my strength and won't hurt you."

Arriving at the Soul Fighting Area, Huo Yuhao casually took out the fourth-level melee soul guide that he had made in order to embezzle (not) take away the weekly quota of rare metals.

A long sword made mainly of titanium, the toughest rare metal known to date. To be more precise, it is the Tang Hengdao. The main effect of the core magic array is to increase toughness. It was made temporarily by Huo Yuhao in the last hour of that week in order to use up the quota.

"Zheng——"

Along with the sound of a long sword being unsheathed, a dark and sharp Tang horizontal sword appeared in Huo Yuhao's hand.

"Good sword!" Looking at the sword in Huo Yuhao's hand, Ji Juechen's eyes lit up.

The reason why they chose to make a knife instead of a sword was mainly because a knife was easier to use, and for a novice like Huo Yuhao, the speed of getting started was much faster than a sword.

After a simple swing and finding the feel of swinging the sword, Huo Yuhao said to Ji Juechen, “Come on!”

At this time, Huo Yuhao did not conceal his martial spirit. His golden eyes sparkled and three strange spirit rings of white, yellow and black appeared, which stunned the onlookers.

"Who is this person? The ratio of his spirit rings is so strange? It's ok to have a white spirit ring, but the third spirit ring is actually black. Is it fake?"

Huo Yuhao: Don’t Q, the third spirit ring couldn’t be more real, but the second spirit ring…

"I was originally wondering how powerful the person who could be challenged by Ji Juechen must be. I didn't expect that he was just a Soul Master, and a Soul Master with a white soul ring. As a result, his third soul ring skipped a thousand years and went straight to ten thousand years. Is this reasonable?"

On the arena, Ji Juechen was not distracted by Huo Yuhao's spirit ring. Instead, all his attention was focused on Huo Yuhao's sword.

He actually used a knife. Is that Shrek's knife skills? I'd like to try it.

The next moment, Ji Juechen rushed towards Huo Yuhao fiercely, and the heavy sword made of black iron slashed straight at Huo Yuhao.

Facing this fierce sword, Huo Yuhao would have been standing leisurely aside, ready to launch a sneak attack as he usually did. However, if he wanted to subdue Ji Juechen, simply dodging was not enough.

With a slight twist of his right hand, Huo Yuhao swung his sword to meet the giant sword. The moment the sword and the sword collided, sparks were ignited. The next moment, Ji Juechen felt as if his sword was hitting cotton. He was pulled aside by Huo Yuhao's sword and was unable to land.

"A sword technique that focuses on dissipating force?"

Ji Juechen quickly understood Huo Yuhao's style and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Given the huge gap in cultivation between the two sides, Huo Yuhao's choice of the most appropriate fighting style was the right one.

But how could Ji Juechen's sword be so easily dealt with! He turned his body, and the sword moved with him, exerting force in the direction of being pushed away, and chopped directly towards Huo Yuhao's face with a more swift and fierce blow than before.

With the help of mental detection, every movement of Ji Juechen was calculated rapidly in Huo Yuhao's mind frame by frame, making up for Huo Yuhao's weakness in swordsmanship.

Driven by his waist, Ji Juechen's move was powerful and strong. Considering the difference in their cultivation level, if he took the sword head-on, his mouth would probably be broken.

Although Huo Yuhao wanted to practice swordsmanship, he was not an idiot. His second soul ring flickered and his body suddenly retreated.

At this moment, Ji Juechen, who was spinning and chopping, spun an extra circle in the air in an unreasonable way, caught up with Huo Yuhao's figure, and slashed towards Huo Yuhao.

Seeing that he was unable to dodge, Huo Yuhao supported himself with the blade with his left hand and faced the meteorite sword that was getting bigger and bigger in front of him.

boom--

The powerful impact instantly created a huge hole in the ground.

"Um?!"

Ji Juechen looked back and forth, looking for the location of Huo Yuhao's real body.

At some point, Huo Yuhao had arrived at Ji Juechen's original position, and the two of them were staring at each other from a distance across half of the arena.

"Brother Ji, there is a big gap between our cultivation levels. Why don't we put aside our soul power and fight with our physical strength?"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took the initiative to retract the golden light in his eyes, and the three spirit rings beside him slowly disappeared.

After the initial time passed, Huo Yuhao was no longer completely ignorant of swordsmanship. Even without mental detection, the eyes, which were his martial spirit, were enough to provide Huo Yuhao with enough information to deal with Ji Juechen's sword.

Seeing this, Ji Juechen did not hesitate and also gave up his martial soul, holding the Meteorite Sword in his hand and swung towards Huo Yuhao.

Without the blessing of soul power, Huo Yuhao was temporarily on par with Ji Juechen in terms of physical fitness. The collision of swords and knives produced sparks from time to time, causing the audience on the stage to exclaim in amazement from time to time.

"Is this really the third ring? He actually relied on his physical strength to fight against Ji Juechen, a sword fanatic, so fiercely."

On the other side, the praised Huo Yuhao had already started to sweat on his forehead. The pressure that Ji Juechen brought to him was really not small. The vigorous swinging style of the sword, coupled with his excellent skills, made Ji Juechen's sword very difficult to deal with. After knowing that Huo Yuhao was good at relieving force, he changed his fighting style, either using great force or using tricky angles, forcing Huo Yuhao to choose to fight Ji Juechen head-on.

Ji Juechen's fighting spirit was also rising as he fought with Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao surprised Ji Juechen a lot. From the beginning, he used a force-reducing style of attack and it was obvious that he was a little immature in swinging the sword and did not dare to fight head-on. But now he can defend against his attacks so well that he could not find any chance. Ji Juechen was very happy with this kind of opponent.

With an angry roar, Ji Juechen mobilized all the energy in his body and sped up the sword-swinging action again.

Damn, how come I still have the energy?

Huo Yuhao cursed inwardly, gritted his teeth and mobilized the Qi and blood in his body.

At this time, the difference in cultivation was reflected. Even if he only used physical strength, Ji Juechen, as a Soul Emperor, could withstand far more blood and energy in his meridians than Huo Yuhao, and the maximum power he could burst out was also much greater than Huo Yuhao.

Bump—Bump—Ping—

No matter how many defenses there are, there will always be loopholes. Due to the gap in strength and speed, even though Huo Yuhao's eyes could provide him with more information, his body could not keep up with the reaction and his defense gradually became flawed.
