Douluo Continent: Angel Saint Huo Yuhao

Chapter 39 Divine Consciousness
bang~
The Clear Sky Hammer, which Huo Yuhao had lured to the side, suddenly disappeared. In the opposite direction, a blue halo emerged from Wang Dong's body, and magnificent butterfly wings reappeared behind him.

Martial Soul Switch!

Another blue light flashed, and a pair of energy blades appeared at the tips of the wings.

"Wing Guillotine!"

Wang Dong, who had already rushed in front of Huo Yuhao, moved like a falling leaf and a butterfly, slashing out with wing-like attacks in the air. His fierce attacks came from all directions, like a continuous tide.

Unfortunately, they achieved nothing.

The occasional mental interference, the full-scale mental detection, and the ghostly, elusive steps he took.

Now that Huo Yuhao has mastered movement techniques, he has truly become the complete version of himself. He is able to handle this dense offensive with ease and even has the leisure to observe the trajectory of Wang Dongwu's movements.

Clearly, the opponent's attack had already shown signs of developing its own unique style, but unfortunately, it could only be used with the first soul skill. Once their strength increased further in the future, this nascent technique would become useless.

'Is this why self-created soul skills are so rare on the Douluo Continent?'

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly at the pity.

He then gathered his spiritual power and unleashed another soul impact at Wang Dong.

"Oh!"

This attack was significantly more effective.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Wang Dong's head snapped back as if hit by a cannonball, sending his entire body flying backward.

"and many more……"

Huo Yuhao's gaze suddenly froze as he watched Wang Dong being knocked away.

Not right.

Having withstood such a blow, the opponent should have collapsed instantly according to their mental strength. Why is the martial soul power detected as even stronger?

"Pu~"

Then, Wang Dong, who had been flying backwards for several meters, suddenly flapped his wings to steady himself. While wiping the few streaks of blood seeping from his mouth and nose, he opened his slightly blue eyes and looked at Huo Yuhao: "Hey! I don't know why, but your strength is still not enough!"

One word fell.

A series of orbs of light immediately emerged from the dazzling butterfly wings behind them, containing extremely intense light and heat.

"Light of the Butterfly God!"

'Could the Goddess of Light Butterfly possess mental resistance? No, that doesn't seem likely... What kind of technique could it possibly have to withstand mental attacks...?'

Huo Yuhao's expression hardened as his attack faltered.

He never imagined that Wang Dong, with whom he ate and lived every day, would be hiding so deeply.

Just how much strength are you still hiding...?

Faced with a barrage of light projectiles hurtling towards him, Huo Yuhao's eyes narrowed slightly. He glared at Wang Dong, who was displaying incredible power, and the water level in his spiritual sea instantly dropped by a third.

Almost all-out mental interference!
hum~
The first spirit ring floating beside Huo Yuhao shone brightly. In this almost blinding white light, a warm color seemed to appear on the spirit ring, and a faint, almost imperceptible golden mark flashed across it.

The air around him also twisted violently under this strange fluctuation, and the ethereal scene, like a domain, expanded rapidly, enveloping Wang Dong.

In an instant, the blue light butterfly hovering in mid-air suddenly stopped, and the light bullets it fired flew haphazardly in all directions, none of them hitting their target.

As for Wang Dong, his movements were almost frantic, like a headless fly flapping its wings and twisting and turning wildly, his mind a complete and utter mess.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao sensed a solid core amidst the chaos.

A seemingly unshakeable anchor rooted in Wang Dong's spiritual sea was revealed amidst his chaotic mental fluctuations.

What exactly is that...?

Huo Yuhao raised his finger thoughtfully and activated mental sharing with that rock-solid entity.

Then, a mental storm!
A mass of mental energy, filled with information paste, rushed into Wang Dong's mind instantly, using sharing as a springboard!
Stimulated by this, the long-dormant will suddenly opened its eyes, and a vast expanse of blue waves surged forth, instantly suppressing the turbulent waves of the entire sea of ​​consciousness, and even surging forward, tracing back along the mental link established by Huo Yuhao. "Boom!"

"What is that!" Tianmeng, who was lying on the water's surface, suddenly raised her silkworm body and looked outwards, following the unknown sense of danger.

However, some people reacted even more strongly than him.

"Big bug, lend me your power!"

Suddenly, Elder Yi appeared from the gray cloud high in the sky and waved his hand sharply down.

The ten spiritual essences that Tianmeng had placed around him responded to his call in unison, radiating dazzling golden light.

"Huh? No, wait a minute—"

Tianmeng's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but scream, "That's my origin! Mine!"

I haven't even agreed to lend it to you yet! How can you just take it?

However, his actions were ignored by the serious-looking Elder Yi, whose gaze swept over him and then turned to the golden light floating beside him, before reaching out to beckon again.

"Whether you have any remaining will or not, lend me a hand for now."

With the fragmented divine essence in hand, Elder Yi's divine body erupted with unprecedented divine light, summoning a scepter that paused in mid-air.

In a mere instant.

The ten primal essences burst forth with beams of light, rapidly manifesting countless interlocking patterns in the air. These patterns overlapped and merged, creating a thousand-layered illusory light array that together constructed an indestructible barrier.

Almost instantly, a magnificent, towering blue wave surged from the depths of the void, crashing against the barrier along the ethereal link.

The entire sea of ​​spirit swayed and trembled beneath this towering wave, teetering on the brink of capsizing.

"What is this? What is this thing?!"

As Tianmeng tumbled and fell through the air, she screamed in panic, filled with confusion and helplessness: "Are we going to die?"

"Sorry, worm."

Standing motionless in the air, Elder Yi sighed apologetically at Tianmeng: "I'm not good at this."

As they spoke, the blue tide gradually receded, disappearing completely into the void without a trace.

Knowing nothing about the other party's background, Elder Yi had no intention of exploring further. He flipped his hand to put away the scepter, removed the slightly damaged barrier, and smoothed out the messy sea of ​​spirit, restoring it to its original state.

"That aura... comes from a god?"

Before returning to the gray cloud, Elder Yi glanced at the void one last time, his gaze filled with emotion as if he had confirmed something: "If I'm not mistaken, that should be a divine consciousness from a deity of faith."

A living god.

"Divine consciousness..."

Tianmeng's eyes widened in shock: "That kid's spiritual sea contains a wisp of divine consciousness? Could he be the successor chosen by some god?"

　Power DLC -

　　From the description in Douluo Continent III, we know that Soul Saints can have Soul Cores, but there are very few people in the world who have three Soul Cores.

　　Moreover, the power gap between Soul Saints and those below has widened, but it seems that Soul Saints can more easily defy those who have been granted titles...

　　Therefore, we can conclude from this:
　　After obtaining the Soul Core, the Soul Saint essentially reduced the tier difference that should have been realized at the title level to the seventh ring, and the Battle Armor further widened the gap.

　　but--

　　Assuming a 10% increase per level between levels 70 and 95 in Battle Arena 3, the class barrier from Soul Emperor to Soul Saint is equivalent to:
　　 1.1*1.2^5/1.1^5≈1.7
　　That is, 70-71 increases soul power by 70%.

　　With the gap between the title and the Soul Saint narrowing, the battle armor plays a greater role in the difference in combat power. Therefore, once the Soul Saint's own attributes and the bonuses from the battle armor reach a certain level, the Seven Rings have the possibility of making a comeback.
