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

Chapter 229 Sword Intent
Seeing Nana's excitement, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but think of the scene in the original novel where Nana chose to sell herself in exchange for her soul...

calm down.

Huo Yuhao turned his head away somewhat awkwardly, coughed lightly, and shook his head to get rid of the dirty things from his mind.

It is indeed easy to be controlled by hormones during puberty. When I lived with Wang Dong, I didn't have any random thoughts about these things. Now that I see someone who is not as good-looking as Wang Dong, I have these fantasies...

However, Huo Yuhao's light cough caused Nana to misunderstand. She lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, and finally reached out to take off her tight clothes.

Unlike the original novel where she used the characteristics of her martial spirit to take off all her clothes in one go, and completed the deal with all her might and leaving no way out, Nana gradually convinced herself and broke down her own psychological defenses by peeling off the outer appearance layer by layer like peeling an onion.

Huo Yuhao could actually read his own memories through soul fragments. His soul methods were definitely more advanced than those of the evil soul masters. In addition, Huo Yuhao did not promise resurrection, but only said that he would help him to be liberated and sent into reincarnation, which increased his credibility.

"Ok?"

Hearing the rustling sound, Huo Yuhao realized what was happening.

Now it’s not a question of whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, but a question of whether or not to eat the meat that’s right in front of your mouth…

If you were from the Tang Sect, you should have gone to wash feet with your colleagues more often before traveling through time, so that you wouldn’t have such a strong sense of guilt for such a consensual thing.

There is no criminal law in this world.

Huo Yuhao cursed and said, “I’m exhausted from the competition today. I don’t have time to play with you. Go away. I’ll go with you when I’m done with my work.”

Nana, who was halfway through taking off her clothes, looked up at the man in front of her in confusion. She had finally convinced herself, but Huo Yuhao rejected her again?

Or did I misunderstand Huo Yuhao's meaning?
Seeing the faint blush on Huo Yuhao's face, Nana finally remembered the information about Huo Yuhao that was introduced at the beginning of the game. The man in front of her was only fifteen years old.

Nana whispered tentatively, "Then...I'm leaving?"

Huo Yuhao said without even turning his head: “Go away.”

Nana then hurriedly picked up her scattered coat and left Huo Yuhao's room in embarrassment.

It was not until they reached the empty staircase that Nana leaned against the corner and slowly squatted down.

"The genius of Shrek... is just a 15-year-old kid, not an evil soul master."

Nana's face flushed and she chuckled at herself. She actually thought at first that the other party would threaten her soul in order to get her body. Unexpectedly, she was the one who judged others by her own standards.

After seeing Nana off, Huo Yuhao took out a glass of ice water to cool himself down. Even though nothing had happened, Huo Yuhao's heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.

Although Nana's appearance was far inferior to that of Wang Dong, with whom he lived with day and night, she was still of superior quality. Coupled with her proud figure, she was definitely a beauty that Huo Yuhao had never been able to meet in his previous life. Now that she had come to him on her own initiative, even Huo Yuhao didn't know if he could resist taking advantage of her if the opportunity came again.

"Xiao Yuhao, you don't want to eat the meat that's right in front of you? If I were you, I wouldn't let this opportunity go."

Tian Meng's voice sounded. For some reason, even though it was a female voice, it sounded a bit obscene.

“Puff… cough… cough!”

Huo Yuhao was startled by Tian Meng's sudden voice.
"Sister Tianmeng, believe it or not, I'm telling this to Bingdi."

"Ahem, this is not necessary..."

Tian Meng said awkwardly, "By the way, can you still contact Bingdi? The academy is under martial law recently. If that little white follows you, you have to be careful and don't get discovered."

"I have informed the Ice Emperor about this. Besides, since they are escorted by the Ice Bear King, they may arrive in the next two days."

"Not bad, not bad, Big Gray Bead, how is your soul beast's transformation and restoration going?"

Electrolux's old voice sounded: "Without even a reference sample, what can I study? Let's wait until that Snow Queen comes. By the way, Yuhao, I have some clues about your fourth spirit ring. At most, I can make a fourth spirit ring for you in one year."

Huo Yuhao was surprised and asked, "It will take another year?"

Electrolux said calmly, "You can do it?"

Huo Yuhao decisively admitted his mistake: “Ahem… Sorry for bothering Old Yi.”

"Don't complain that it's slow. Studying the laws is troublesome in itself, not to mention that I not only have no physical body, but also only a remnant soul. My thinking ability is limited. It's good enough that I can figure it out for you in such a short time."

"If I only make a spirit ring that helps you break through the shackles of your cultivation but does not have any spirit skills, it may be faster, but adding spirit skills later will be a lot of trouble. You should wait a little longer. Anyway, your accumulated spirit power can be fed back to the seal of the big bug, and it will be replenished for you later."

Speaking of which, the energy in Tianmeng's first layer of seal has been almost consumed. Part of it was absorbed by Huo Yuhao, part of it was used to assist in the fusion of Ice Emperor, and more of it was absorbed by Alex.

This is why Alex usually focuses on solving problems for Huo Yuhao, and the recovery speed of his residual soul is slightly faster than in the original book. After all, pure spiritual energy is also the best medicine to accelerate the recovery of residual consciousness.

"Mr. Yi, is there anything that can allow me to maintain the ability to think calmly at all times?"

"You ask that? Of course there is."

Electrolux stroked his beard and said, "But I suggest you not to resort to such means for a little love matter. Not daring to face your feelings directly is not good for your cultivation journey. Young people should dare to love and hate."

"Just like the little girl just now, your body's instinct tells you that you should not take advantage of others, and your reason tells you not to take advantage of others. After weighing the pros and cons, you chose reason. This constant choice will bring you growth, which is far better than the answer you get from absolute reason based on your ability."

"Child, some things cannot be decided by absolute rationality. Absolute rationality can only help you complete the things you have decided without any obstacles, but it cannot help you make the decision."

How could Electrolux, who has the heart of annihilation of the undead, "accidentally" slaughter the continent because of the impulse of revenge? Everything was chosen before this ability was activated. In the end, he abandoned his feelings and slaughtered the undead on the continent for revenge. Electrolux was also willing to bear the series of bad consequences brought about by this.

Huo Yuhao sighed and said, “I’ve learned your lesson.”

"Come to think of it, my mental strength seems to have not increased for a long time. Does the senior have any advice?"

"You can just accumulate mental power slowly, but the soul is short-lived, and there is a limit to the amount of mental power you can accumulate. Your mental power is already close to the limit, so it is naturally difficult to increase. What you need is a qualitative change."

"Qualitative change..."

The qualitative change of Huo Gua's mental power seems to be because of tomorrow's game, as if it is because he learned the "King of the World" from Moon En, and then he had a new breakthrough in facing Ji Juechen's sword intent.

Huo Yuhao asked: "Then... how can I achieve a qualitative change in my spiritual power? Or how can I make my soul grow?"

"The growth of the soul cannot be rushed. Every bit of your experience will become nutrients for the growth of the soul. As for the qualitative change of mental power, it depends on your own perception of your life. Generally speaking, the qualitative change of mental power is inseparable from the large-scale growth of the soul."

"As for how to get that ray of opportunity in life, I can't help you. Some things will only come naturally when you reach that stage."

Due to his limited energy, Huo Yuhao did not chat much with Alex and Tian Meng. He crossed his legs and began to recover his mental strength.

After his soul power and mental power were almost recovered, Huo Yuhao did not continue to practice. Instead, he set the alarm clock, closed his eyes and had the simplest sleep.

It is no wonder that Wang Dong likes to sleep so much. He does not need to concentrate on controlling the flow of soul power in his body, nor does he need to control his breathing rhythm to coordinate the flow of soul power. He only needs to relax his body and mind to the extreme, which is indeed more comfortable than practicing.

Huo Yuhao did not take the match on the second day seriously. It was simply too difficult to win. Nana, a level 5 melee soul guide, briefly suppressed Huo Yuhao with a light sword. If he had not known the opponent's strengths and prevented the opponent's trump card (level 6 soul guide) from being used, Huo Yuhao would have probably been defeated by Nana.

Especially according to the description in the original work, the sixth-level soul engineer at the beginning was of earth attribute, so it was naturally more difficult for him to win.

However, just as Huo Yuhao was preparing to step onto the competition stage with the intention of just showing his face, his opponent turned out to be an acquaintance.

"Brother Ji, are you here to join in the fun too?"

Looking at the person in front of him, Huo Yuhao felt a little embarrassed. Originally, that guy whose name he didn't remember in the original book was enough to give Huo Yuhao a hard time, but instead, an even more ruthless Ji Juechen came. This didn't give him any hope at all.

Huo Yuhao took out his Tang sword and chose to confront Ji Juechen head-on. This was a sign of respect for a true swordsman. Although Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen were evenly matched in swordsmanship (swordsmanship), Huo Yuhao knew that after using their soul power, the two were far from being on the same level.

After all, the swordsmanship in this world is not just ordinary slashing and stabbing, it also involves soul power and soul skills, which are not something Huo Yuhao can imitate on the spur of the moment.

Ji Juechen said calmly: "After watching your previous matches, I felt that you would not win many games today, so I directly applied to the academy to be the first to appear."

Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly and said, “You are such a good judge of people. I was planning to just fight casually in the first round and then admit defeat. After all, the defense of the sixth-level soul shield alone is enough to make me suffer.”

"Looks like I came at the right time."

Ji Juechen pointed the tip of his sword at Huo Yuhao and said, "I will go all out this time."

After saying that, Ji Juechen's originally dull eyes suddenly lit up with a kind of fanaticism full of persistence. At this moment, in his eyes, there seemed to be only the sword in his hand. Two yellow, two purple, and two black, six soul rings rose from under his feet.

Ji Juechen did not charge towards Huo Yuhao immediately, but stood quietly at a distance of 150 meters.

Invisible pressure began to spread in the Soul Guidance Trial Field. Ji Juechen held the sword with both hands, and six soul rings emerged. An extremely sharp aura burst out from him almost instantly.

Hey!
As soon as he came into contact with the sword intent, Huo Yuhao felt that his mental power was suppressed. The mental detection that could originally cover the entire competition arena was suppressed to a radius of 100 meters.

"You have learned swordsmanship, but you have not grasped the essence of it. Your sword has no soul."

Ji Juechen's voice rang out, and at the same time, the fierce pressure was further stepped up, suppressing Huo Yuhao's mental power back to less than fifty meters in one breath.

Huo Yuhao, who was the target of the sword intent, was already sweating profusely.

"Maybe I was wrong."

Seeing that Huo Yuhao didn’t react at all, Ji Juechen shook his head slightly and rushed towards Huo Yuhao.

“Huo Yuhao, you disappoint me. This was the first time we fought. It was the first time I met someone my age who could compete with me in swordsmanship. I thought I had found a strong opponent.”

Ping——

A blow from the heavy sword directly broke Huo Yuhao's defense and pushed Huo Yuhao back to the edge of the competition stage.

"However, I seem to have misjudged you. You are just an empty shell that only knows how to imitate and lacks your own ideas. If your soul guide is strong, you will learn from it. If your soul master is strong, you will practice with it. You don't have an idea that is completely your own."

Another powerful sword came slashing down, and Huo Yuhao rolled over in a panic. With the help of the propulsion force of the soul guide thrusters, he managed to escape the attack range narrowly and return to the center of the competition stage.

Dozens of soul guide cannons stretched out from behind Huo Yuhao, gathering terrifying energy under the charge of the milk bottle.

Boom boom boom——

A violent explosion sounded, and the soul masters in the spectator seats fell silent.

This is because each of these soul guide cannons is a level five soul guide cannon, but they were fired from the hands of Huo Yuhao, a three-ring soul master.

"Even now, you still don't dare to fight me head-on."

The smoke dissipated, and Ji Juechen's figure rushed out again, causing Huo Yuhao's pupils to shrink.

The soul guide cannon bracket on his body was immediately removed and supported on the ground. The Tang sword made of thousands of forged titanium gold directly blocked Ji Juechen's slash.

"Ping—"

A huge sound wave was heard, and Ji Juechen and Huo Yuhao were actually deadlocked in place for a moment. Although Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen both had bodies comparable to Soul Saints, their blood, qi, and soul power were not in the same order of magnitude. At this moment, Huo Yuhao could only barely withstand Ji Juechen's attack with the support of the bracket behind him.

"Um?!"

Veins bulged on Ji Juechen's forehead and he increased the strength of his hands.

Click...

The soul guide support behind him could not hold on under the enormous pressure and broke apart. Having lost his support, Huo Yuhao was directly crushed by the huge force and knelt on one knee on the ground.

Is Ji Juechen so terrifying in his complete state?
Feeling the huge force continuously coming from his arm, Huo Yuhao began to doubt how he had been able to fight so well with the opponent before.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao could feel that although Ji Juechen had already integrated his martial soul into the sword, he had not fully released his soul power.

In other words, just by relying on the sword intent, Ji Juechen suppressed Huo Yuhao to death.

Could it be that the soul power that I have gained through hard training is not as good as this so-called will?

-

"Mr. Mu, what is intention?"

Huo Yuhao looked at Moon who was gradually standing up and asked curiously.

For some reason, Moon En had never asked to accept him as his disciple for such a long time. Huo Yuhao was quite interested in the skill of Dominating the World.

Moon, leaning on his cane, said cheerfully, "The so-called will is naturally the will of man."

Huo Yuhao had a bitter face. Could you please stop talking so mysteriously? At least explain the steps in more detail.

"Looking at you, it seems like you want to learn the will? It's still too early. Most soul masters can only comprehend the will when they are soul saints, because releasing the martial soul's true body will make the soul master's will resonate with the martial soul."

"Of course, there are exceptions to everything. There are also soul masters with extraordinary talents who have realized their inner selves before becoming soul saints and completed the transformation of their will."

"Does Mr. Mu think I have the qualifications?"

"You can't eat hot tofu with your scheming mind."

Moon smiled and said, "When you are no longer confused about the power in your hands and can fully integrate the power in your hands, you will naturally be able to take that step."

-

Power in hand? Integration?

Spirit eyes, Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion, soul power, blood, vitality, mental power, soul guide... and a makeshift sword.

Why do I want to practice swordplay?
Perhaps he was unable to comprehend the meaning of boxing, so he thought of imitating Ji Juechen's sword meaning and finding another way to comprehend the meaning of the knife?

I am really stupid.

My power should obey me, so why do I need so-called will?
“Chi——Boom——”

Several soul -guided pusher appeared on Huo Yuhao's arm. The blue and blue light was released, and a blood -colored pattern appeared on Huo Yuhao.
A vertical pupil quietly appeared on the forehead.

"Have you said enough?"

Huo Yuhao gradually broke free from Ji Juechen's suppression, stood up again, and looked at Ji Juechen with a stern expression.

"Whether it's soul guides, soul master training, or sword training, which one have I not put in my energy?"

"You focus on your sword, and I also focus on these powers that can make me stronger. In terms of the effort I put in, how am I worse than you?"
