Douluo Continent: When Huo Yuhao Becomes the Lord of the End

Chapter 46. Enjoy this magnificent explosion!
To avoid alerting the three-legged toad and causing it to escape to the bottom of the Sunken Gold Swamp, the three devised another plan.

It's important to know that the Starlight Ring that Kong Deming gave to Huo Yuhao also has a sealing function.

While this ability won't cause any fatal damage to the three-legged toad, it can temporarily seal it off and take it to other places without any problem.

It was still a combination of concealment and mental interference. Huo Yuhao had already used these two abilities to trick countless soul beasts. Once they entered a certain range, the Starlight Ring directly sealed the three-legged golden toad that was over 20,000 years old.

The three-legged toad didn't even have time to react before it was imprisoned in the Starlight Ring.

With limited time, Huo Yuhao and the two men ran wildly towards the outer perimeter again after succeeding.

Just after the others left, Jing Hongchen's figure slowly appeared. He gazed at the Shenjin Swamp in thought for a moment, and then disappeared again.

The outskirts of Jingyang Great Forest.

First, he created the Eternal Frozen Domain, transforming the entire environment of this place into one of extreme ice, causing the temperature in the entire environment to drop drastically. Only then did Huo Yuhao release the Three-Legged Golden Toad.

"Gu!!"

As soon as it emerged, the three-legged golden toad emitted a deep and resonant cry, causing the gold elements in the air to boil instantly, and even the circulation of soul power to become sluggish in that instant.

"withdraw!"

Huo Yuhao activated his mental interference field, simulating the three people's auras as plants, and quickly ran away into the distance.

This spirit beast is capable of controlling metal.

At this moment, the surrounding metal element was constantly condensing. Even if Xiao Hongchen tried his best, he would probably find it difficult to seize control of the metal from this three-legged golden toad.

Fortunately, the three were prepared. They had already distanced themselves from each other, and Huo Yuhao had even prepared his ultimate weapon.

Beside the three-legged golden toad lay the corpse of a giant python trapped in solid ice; it was the 16,000-year-old Crimson Flame Ice Python from which Meng Hongchen had obtained the soul ring.

The sea of ​​spirit.

Ice Emperor smiled as he looked at the scene outside. "Yuhao, are you sure you want to use Ice Explosion Technique against this soul beast?"

"Of course, I'm also very much looking forward to seeing just how powerful the Ice Blast spell really is."

Tianmeng wiggled her body in a cheeky manner, flattering him.

"My Bingbing's skills are, of course, the strongest."

"Get out! Tianmeng, you disgust me!!"

"What? I'm your little snack? Bingbing is the best after all."

"(*^▽^*), (へ╬)!"

The moment Huo Yuhao released the three-legged golden toad, he had completely frozen the corpse of the Crimson Flame Ice Python, filling its interior with extreme ice elements.

Now, all that's left is to wait for the three-legged toad to launch its attack, then we can detonate it, creating a massive chain reaction of explosions under the blessing of the Eternal Freeze Domain.

When the three of them reached a mountain peak a kilometer away, Meng Hongchen asked in confusion, "Yuhao, why did we retreat so far?"

Xiao Hongchen was equally puzzled.

Huo Yuhao smiled faintly, standing on the mountaintop with his arms outstretched, his hair disheveled by the wind, a carefree smile playing on his lips, his expression arrogant and flamboyant.

"Now, please enjoy the magnificent explosion I've meticulously prepared!!"

Just as the metallic energy in the distance gathered to a certain extent, Huo Yuhao detonated it, and the corpse of the Crimson Flame Ice Python finally produced a huge explosion.

Bang bang bang! !

A massive explosion, resembling the fission of an ice core, occurred. Thanks to the blessing of the Eternal Frozen Domain, the explosion's range amplified the effects of the Ice Blast spell several times over.

Even from a distance of thousands of meters, Huo Yuhao and the others could feel the powerful shockwave, the deafening explosion, and the countless tiny but terrifyingly destructive ice crystals sweeping through.

"What...what on earth is going on?!"

Meng Hongchen stared in disbelief at the dead three-legged toad and the huge crater on the ground, which was 500 meters in diameter.

"Yuhao, you did this! How did you do it?!"

Xiao Hongchen was not only shocked by the power of the explosion in the distance, but also repeatedly praised Huo Yuhao for putting on such a big show. Damn!
Why doesn't he have that kind of flair? He puts on airs so subtly, so naturally, so effortlessly!

With a smile, Huo Yuhao put his hands in his pockets and explained.

"The stronger the target, the more significant the detonation effect of the Ice Explosion spell. I also added a little something extra, which is why it can produce a chain reaction of explosions."

Swish!
Jing Hongchen appeared with a look of surprise. Looking at the three healthy children, he patted his chest, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

"Are you all trying to rebel? You've caused such a commotion, you almost scared this old man to death!"

Damn it, the hope of the empire! If his grandson, granddaughter, and Yuhao were to perish here, Jing Hongchen wouldn't know where to cry.

"Ahem." Huo Yuhao scratched his head awkwardly. "Dean, actually, this is also my first time using this soul skill. I didn't quite control the power properly, haha."

Huo Yuhao then explained why he knew the Ice Explosion Technique, though he kept some details hidden for the time being.

Jing Hongchen didn't ask any further questions, since Huo Yuhao was Kong Deming's disciple and was naturally being trained by Kong Deming.

"Phew, brat, alright, alright, that three-legged toad is dead. Yuhao, are you sure you can absorb its soul ring?"

Huo Yuhao nodded. After all, his teacher had already tested his physical condition and confirmed that he was fully capable of absorbing it.

"Alright, go ahead. I'll protect you so I can stop anything that happens in time."

Without hesitation, Huo Yuhao went straight to the Three-Legged Golden Toad and prepared to absorb the soul ring.

Just as expected, he first activated the [Strong Luck] Echo to confirm that he could obtain the soul skill he wanted before starting to integrate the soul ring into his body.

(Except for the first echo, no one else will hear the bell ringing unless Huo Yuhao allows it.)
Beside him, Jing Hongchen looked at the three-legged toad corpse on the ground and, with a try-it-out mentality, began to touch the corpse.

"Hmm?" Jing Hongchen suddenly frowned when he touched the toad's leg.

"It actually produced a soul bone?"

Looking at Huo Yuhao, who was still absorbing the soul ring, he sighed inwardly, thinking that this child was truly blessed by heaven and favored by fate.

"Wow, it's the right leg bone of a three-legged toad!"

Meng Hongchen was overjoyed, while Xiao Hongchen was stunned for a moment before also smiling.

Looking at his grandson's expression, Jing Hongchen nodded without making a sound.

"Laugh, this soul bone belongs to Yuhao, and its ownership will be decided by Yuhao."

Before Jing Hongchen could finish speaking, Xiao Hongchen raised his hand and said confidently.

"Grandpa, you must have misunderstood something. I consider Yuhao my best brother."

"Even if this is a soul bone that is extremely suitable for me, it doesn't mean anything to me. It originally belonged to Yuhao."

"Besides, I didn't do much from capturing this three-legged toad to its death. A treasure? Ha, it's nothing compared to Yuhao!"

Meng Hongchen looked at her older brother in disbelief as he said those words. For some reason, she felt that her older brother seemed to have become a little more handsome.

"Dude, even though you were faking it this time, you were really cool this time!"

Xiao Hongchen grinned widely, almost bursting out laughing.

I'm so happy to have received praise from my sister again.

(Huo Gua: My father-in-law praised me again, I'm so happy, hehe~ picture!)
Sure enough, learning to be pretentious from Yuhao is the right thing to do; the most deadly form of pretentiousness is the subtle kind.

Jing Hongchen also got to know this grandson again.

"Laugh, the fact that you can say these words proves that you already have the qualifications to become a top expert!"

"I am proud of you."

P.S.: This soul bone is useless. According to the author's outline, Huo Yuhao should have at least a 100,000-year soul bone. He really doesn't care about a 10,000-year one. There's no other reason than that it's too low-level.
