Peerless: I Became Huo Yuhao's Dark Personality

Chapter 72 Dai Yaoheng Returns Home, Dai Hao Explodes ( in )

"What kind of combination is this, a giant and a dwarf?"

Looking at the contrasting figures of Bai Yanyan and Luo Xiaoli, Xu Sanshi couldn't help laughing. The appearance of the people opposite was really too funny, and he couldn't control himself for a moment.

"The one on the left is a rock pangolin, with extremely strong defense. I don't recognize the one on the right."

Bai Yanyan and Luo Xiaoli were possessed by their martial spirits while charging forward, while Beibei and Xu Sanshi were possessed by their martial spirits first and then charged forward. This was enough to show that they did not take the outcome of the game to heart.

"Teacher Wang, do you know their martial spirits?" Huo Yuhao found the column where the Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy was located in the battle report, and found that the martial spirit information of the team members was not recorded, so he turned to Wang Yan and asked.

"Well, Bai Yanyan's martial soul is the Earth Rock Panther, a soul beast that feeds on minerals to grow."

As Wang Yan finished speaking, Xiao Xiao was surprised. "A soul beast that can grow by eating stones? With such simple survival needs, don't they have any natural enemies?"

"It's true that the Rock Panic Beetle can survive by eating rocks, but that's just for basic survival. If they want to improve their cultivation, they have to devour ores rich in soul power.

As for natural enemies, it can be said that the ground pangolin has no natural enemies. Have you seen the irregular stones on the surface of Bai Yanyan's body? That is a powerful means of defense for the ground pangolin.

After the rock pangolin eats the ore, it uses part of it to improve its cultivation, and the other part is excreted through its skin, forming rock blocks on its body surface to protect itself.

This kind of stone is not pure metal, but a special substance formed after a series of transformations in the body of the rock pangolin. There are very few soul beasts of the same level that can break this layer of shell.

In addition, the rock pangolins' ability to move flexibly beneath the surface greatly increases their safety when facing danger, so few spirit beasts have the intention of attacking them."

"Since their living environment is so good, they should be very common. But why haven't I seen them in the course on identifying common soul beasts?" Xiao Xiao's clear eyes were full of confusion.

"God is fair. He has given the rock pangolins strong survival abilities, but at the same time has greatly reduced their reproductive capacity. They only have a mating season once every fifteen years.

Only during the estrus period does the Rock Panther have a mature reproductive system. As a viviparous soul beast, it can only give birth to two or three cubs at a time, so it is actually a rare soul beast.

"Fifteen years!" Xiao Xiao exclaimed, and the others were also shocked. You know, even the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which is known as the strongest bear soul beast, has a mating interval of only ten years.

Under such circumstances, the number of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears is extremely rare, and the Earth Rock Panthers will probably be even rarer.

"What about the other person's martial soul?" Wang Dong continued to ask curiously.

"Luo Xiaoli's martial spirit should be the Inflatable Rat, a spirit beast with an extremely strong desire to attack. Its attack method is relatively simple, which is to use the inertia of flying and falling to increase its own attack power."

"So that's how it is. Those wings look so small, but they can still take off." Wang Dong looked at Luo Xiaoli's pair of wings that were small enough to be called pocket-sized, and couldn't help but marvel at it.

"You're wrong. The wings of the puffballs don't help them fly; they only serve to glide and adjust their position in the air.

Their true method of takeoff is to use air currents." Seeing the puzzled looks of Huo Yuhao and the others, Wang Yan smiled slightly and continued, "
"The Air Mouse, as the name suggests, achieves flight by expelling air in a single burst. It might be a bit confusing right now, but just watch the game and you'll understand."

On the stage, Beibei rushed out after he finished speaking. He and Xu Sanshi often fought against each other and had a strong tacit understanding between them. Since he knew that the other party was two Soul Kings, and one of them was a defensive soul beast, of course he would give priority to targeting the other soul master.

Logically speaking, the offensive type restrains the defensive type, so he should be the one fighting against Bai Yanyan, but now there are two huge problems.

The first is the gap in cultivation. Just from the optimal soul ring ratio, it is clear that Bai Yanyan is definitely not a fake soul master. Whether he, a soul master, can break through the defense is another matter.

The second is soul guides. Since the development of soul guides, the judgment between different systems is no longer as rigid as it was ten thousand years ago. A defensive soul master can still use a melee soul guide as an offensive soul master.

This is the case with Bai Yanyan. The giant hammer in her hand obviously does not look like something a defensive-type soul master should hold.

Xu Sanshi and Beibei obviously had the same idea, so he went to find Bai Yanyan without hesitation, and let Beibei, who had stronger attack power, fight against Luo Xiaoli.

Suddenly, Beibei showed an expression of astonishment. She saw that Luo Xiaoli's body was constantly expanding while running. Her whole body grew several times in size horizontally while moving forward.

Luo Xiaoli, who already had a hunchback, was now even more hunched, like an inflated ball. If it weren't for the restraint of the armor, Beibei doubted whether she could continue to breathe.

The next second, Luo Xiaoli opened her huge mouth. Yes, it was a huge mouth. After being possessed by the martial spirit, her mouth was almost split to her ears. With a "bang", a large amount of air gushed out of her mouth.

The invisible airflow can make such a clear sound when hitting the ground, so one can imagine the degree of compression of the airflow. As the airflow surges out, Luo Xiaoli's body shrinks rapidly, returning to its original size, and her small figure rises into the air.

"This..." The reserve team members outside the field were really shocked by this unique way of taking off. Xiaoxiao's mouth was wide open enough for an egg to fit in, and Wang Yan began to explain at the right time.

"The body structure of the inflatable rat is very special. There is a thin membrane under the surface of the skin, which we call the air sac membrane. When the inflatable rat inhales, the air flow is stored between the skin and the air sac membrane.

These stored airflows have two functions. The first is to allow the Inflatable Mouse to compress a large amount of airflow in a short period of time and then spit it toward the ground, taking off with the help of recoil.

The second is defense, the inflatable skin has a good cushioning effect and can reduce the pressure of most attacks."

"What if the skin gets cut and air leaks out?" Huo Yuhao said subconsciously, and Wang Yan also gave him an approving look at this moment.

"Yuhao reacted quickly. That's right, the Inflatable Rat's weakness is sharp attacks. Its ball-like body can certainly withstand blunt blows and energy shocks well, but it is fatal to attacks with powerful cutting ability.

If any part of the air sac membrane is damaged, the air rat's ability to take off will be greatly weakened. This characteristic is still relatively dangerous in the soul beast world, and sharp claws are a common means of almost all soul beasts.

But no matter what, as one of the few non-avian soul beasts with the ability to fly, the Air Rat has a strong ability to survive. As long as they are willing, they can stay in the air and are difficult to hunt, except for flying soul beasts.

"Her armor is probably designed to reduce the chance of direct skin damage. Even if she suffers internal injuries, she'll at least be able to fight. If she suffers external injuries, she'll be completely useless."

After Wang Yan's analysis, the others nodded in understanding.

Not to mention Beibei's confused look, Xu Sanshi was also shocked. When he thought that Beibei would most likely be the passive party to be beaten by Luo Xiaoli, Xu Sanshi couldn't help but want to laugh.

After giving Beibei a sympathetic look, Xu Sanshi continued to intercept Bai Yanyan in the direction she was heading.

Facing Luo Xiaoli high in the sky, Beibei's eyes were solemn. With his identity and background, his experience and knowledge were incomparable to ordinary people.

Just from Luo Xiaoli's ability to fly by breathing air, combined with the wings on her back for gliding, it can be roughly inferred that she should be an agile attack-type soul master.

In the air, Luo Xiaoli's second and third soul rings lit up one after another, and her figure suddenly shot out like lightning. The second soul skill was called weight increase. It was simple and clear. When falling, the inertia was increased by increasing one's own weight, so that greater damage could be caused by inertia.

Her third soul skill is an amplification soul skill, which can burst out extremely fast in a short period of time. Luo Xiaoli took a step in the air and rushed towards Beibei like lightning.

So fast! Beibei's pupils shrank. Luo Xiaoli's current speed was terrifying. In just a blink of an eye, the distance between them had been shortened by a full third.

Faced with this level of speed, Beibei had no chance of dodging. He made a prompt decision. First, the three soul rings lit up, Thunder Dragon Claw combined with Thunder Fury, which was one of Beibei's strongest attacks at the moment.

Theoretically, it is impossible to release two soul skills instantly. The reason why Beibei can do it is because he uses the special method of Shrek Academy, commonly known as combat skills.

When it comes to research on soul masters, Shrek Academy can truly be said to be the best in the world, with remarkable achievements in both martial souls, secret arts, and combat skills.

The violent electric snake raged on Beibei's right arm. In the blink of an eye, the whole arm became thicker. Beibei swung a heavy punch forward, and the timing was right to meet Luo Xiaoli's attack.

Luo Xiaoli didn't use any spirit abilities, relying instead on her own strength and inertia. She wanted to test her opponent's abilities first to determine their strength. She didn't underestimate the enemy just because Beibei was a fourth-ring cultivator. Shrek Academy's reputation was too great, so she had to be cautious.

Beibei swung his fist and Luo Xiaoli swung her palm. When their fists and palms collided, there was a slight explosion in the air. It turned out that the fight was evenly matched.

At first glance, the strength of both sides seems to be evenly matched, but only Beibei knows the gap between them. He even used the strongest amplification soul skill at present, Thunder Fury, but could only compete with the opponent's mediocre palm. His entire right arm is now numb.

On the other hand, after the fists and palms collided, Luo Xiaoli quickly retreated, took a deep breath, and her first soul ring lit up, and she rose into the air again. Her first soul skill was light and could reduce her own weight, almost allowing her to float in the air.

The people from Shrek Academy are indeed extraordinary. Luo Xiaoli sighed inwardly. Although her attack did not use soul power to amplify, an ordinary soul master would definitely not be able to use it for a short time after being injured in the arm.

At the moment when Beibei and Luo Xiaoli were fighting, Xu Sanshi also started fighting with Bai Yanyan, but compared with Beibei, he looked much more miserable and could only dodge in embarrassment.

There is no way around it. Xu Sanshi currently has four soul skills, Xuanming Shock, Xuanming Shield Formation, Xuanming Power, and Xuanming Replacement. The only one that can cause damage is the first soul skill, Xuanming Shock.

As a defensive soul master, facing a soul king with a sledgehammer is no different from fighting an offensive soul master. It would be strange if he didn't suffer a loss.

Bai Yanyan was also surprised. Although she was not good at speed, her combat awareness was definitely not weak. She had dodged Xu Sanshi several times even though she had calculated well. This was not a coincidence, but a reflection of the opponent's ability.

Get real!
Bai Yanyan and Luo Xiaoli thought of it at the same time. Luo Xiaoli's second, third, and fifth soul rings lit up one after another. Two identical clones of Luo Xiaoli appeared in the air at the same time and attacked Beibei again.

Bai Yanyan's fourth soul ring lit up, and under Xu Sanshi's vigilant gaze, several rock pillars rose from the ground. There was a faint energy barrier between each rock pillar, forming a cage to trap Xu Sanshi.

"Why does a defensive soul master have control soul skills?" Xu Sanshi said in grief and anger. Who would have thought that Bai Yanyan, a defensive soul master, could have control soul skills? How can he defend against this?
"It's over." Bai Yanyan swung the giant hammer in her hand and smashed it towards Xu Sanshi. The first soul ring lit up, and a khaki light merged into the hammer. Apart from that, there were no other changes.

A hint of cunning flashed in Xu Sanshi's eyes in the rock cage, and his fourth soul ring lit up. The next second, Luo Xiaoli, who was diving, exchanged positions with Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi, who had six rings, could even replace a Titled Douluo. Although this had a lot to do with the fact that he had fully awakened the Black Tortoise Shield at that time, it was still no problem for him to replace an unprepared Soul King with a four-ring one.

The sledgehammer in Bai Yanyan's hand actually went straight through the rock pillar that formed the cage. This must have been the effect of the ochre light emitted by her first soul ring.

Seeing Luo Xiaoli suddenly appear in her cage, Bai Yanyan was shocked and quickly retracted her strength. Luo Xiaoli reacted quickly as well. She took a deep breath and her skin bulged.

The giant hammer landed on the armor, making a humming sound. Luo Xiaoli groaned, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, she had the double cushioning of the armor and the airbag, otherwise this blow would have been enough to seriously injure her fragile body as a sensitive attack type.

Xu Sanshi was in the sky and he had no ability to fly. He wanted to perform Xuanming Replacement again, but a rock barrier just blocked Bai Yanyan and the other person. Just as he was about to land, he and Beibei made a perfect switch of positions.

The timing was just right, and Beibei had anticipated it. Xu Sanshi landed steadily from one meter in the air and stood where Beibei had just stood, with a look of relief on his face.

"I admit, I underestimated you." Bai Yanyan said solemnly after the rock barrier disappeared, then turned relaxed. "However, how much soul power do you have left?"

Hearing this, Xu Sanshi couldn't help but smile bitterly. In order to break through the rock cage with the Xuanming Exchange just now, he had used up nearly 30% of his soul power. Taking into account the consumption just now and before, there was only about 40% left.

In comparison, Beibei was in much better condition. He still had more than 70% remaining. The main reason was that the Thunderous Fury consumed too much of his soul power, and one strike drained almost 20% of his soul power.

Luo Xiaoli rose into the air again, and her soul ring lit up again as usual. In front of such a focused Soul King, Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Replacement would be useless.

Bai Yanyan's fifth soul ring lit up, and several brown-yellow light balls of the same size emerged from the air and instantly fell towards Beibei and the others.

Beibei and the other two tried their best to dodge, but they were still inevitably attacked. During the dive, Luo Xiaoli's three clones gradually merged into one, and the speed increased again, defeating Xu Sanshi, who was already at the end of his strength. The remaining Beibei was no longer able to resist.

"The first match of the first round of the round-robin tournament, Xingluo Advanced Soul Instructor Academy wins!"

White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

Today is a good day. The Duchess of White Tiger is very happy because her husband, Duke Dai Hao of White Tiger, is back. As a lady under forty years old and a soul master, he is at the age of being as vigorous as a wolf or a tiger.

If they were ordinary nobles, these ladies would secretly find a few pretty boys to play with to satisfy their psychological needs, but the Duchess of White Tiger would not do that, nor would she dare to do so.

Dai Hao is the marshal of the Xingluo Empire, and the White Tiger lineage is one of the most prestigious families in the Xingluo Empire. Some people respect and flatter them, but there are also people who want to step on them.

On a normal day, there are countless eyes staring at the Duke of Baihu's Mansion. They dare not make any big moves, but they are ready to cause any small friction.

If she dared to keep a lover outside, given her status as the mistress of the Dai family, once the scandal broke out, it would greatly affect the reputation of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, and Dai Hao would also lose face.

At that time, killing her would be normal in order to calm the storm. Even if Dai Hao didn't kill her, the Zhu family would not let her go. The two families have been friends for more than ten thousand years. To be precise, the Zhu family is dependent on the Dai family.

In this situation, what else can the Duchess of White Tiger do? She can do nothing but endure it.

Today Dai Hao is returning home, and she has prepared everything, just waiting for nightfall.

"Brother Hao, you must have been working hard to guard the Mingdou Mountains during this period of time?" Looking at Dai Hao's worried look at his face, the Duchess placed a deer whip in his bowl and said with concern.

"Alas, the Sun-Moon Empire has become increasingly restless recently, occasionally making actions that cross the line, always trying to provoke a fight between the two countries."

Dai Hao sighed, took a look at the contents of the bowl, and felt helpless.

"It's okay. Isn't Yuheng about to graduate? Let him help you share some military duties, so you can relax a little." The Duchess said with a smile.

"That boy is so arrogant, he doesn't even want to join my Western Legion!"

Talking about his eldest son, Dai Hao felt much better. But when he thought of his son's confident words in the letter about taking down the commander of the Northern Group, he said unhappily.

"Yuheng has been very competitive since he was young. He doesn't want to receive special treatment because of his status. As a man, it's time for him to go out and explore the world." The Duchess smiled gently, obviously very satisfied with her eldest son.

"I hope he doesn't let me know anything." Dai Hao smiled faintly, with a hint of pampering in his tone.

"By the way, Brother Hao." The Duchess's face darkened. "Bin'er has been in a bad state recently."

Dai Hao's expression suddenly froze, and his good mood faded considerably. "Time will heal everything. Wait a little longer. I promise you, I will definitely help Bin'er get revenge!"

"Well, Brother Hao, I understand." The Duchess smiled and was about to say something else when a voice came from outside.

"Master, Madam, the eldest young master is back..." A servant in ordinary clothes said so outside the door, but his voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was almost as thin as a mosquito's.

"What did you say?" Dai Hao pushed the door open and walked out, saying in a deep voice. However, the servant's voice was too soft and he couldn't hear clearly.

"The young master is back." The servant repeated. Seeing Dai Hao and the Duchess's happy faces, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's just, it's just..."

"Just what! Just say it if you have something to say!" Dai Hao's face darkened, and he was very dissatisfied with the servant's hesitant look.

"The young master's legs...are gone!"

"What did you say!"
