Douluo Continent: I, Huo Yuhao, have a Beast Taming Space

Chapter 17 This is a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!
Just as Xu Sanshi, full of momentum, raised the Xuanming Shield and was about to touch Huo Yuhao's clothes,

A huge shadow suddenly enveloped him completely!
Before Xu Sanshi could even see what the shadow was, he felt an indescribable, overwhelming, and terrifying force crashing into the Xuanming Shield in front of him like a volcanic eruption!

boom! ! ! !

Xu Sanshi felt an irresistible force coming through the Xuanming Shield, and his proud defense seemed as fragile as paper in the face of this power.

"grass!"

He was as if he had been hit head-on by a soul-guided train traveling at full speed, instantly turning into a blurry black shadow and flying backward at several times the speed at which he was rushed towards him!

"Wow--!"

After tracing a clumsy parabola through the air, Xu Sanshi crashed heavily onto the hard fighting arena surface. Due to inertia, he bounced twice more like a stone skipping across water before finally coming to a stop, leaving a shallow mark on the ground.

"Cough...cough..."

Xu Sanshi felt as if his bones had fallen apart, he was in pain everywhere, his internal organs were churning, he saw stars, and a metallic taste rose in his throat.

He struggled to lift his head, shook his somewhat dazed head, and looked in horror at Huo Yuhao's direction.

"What is that?! What the hell was that thing just now?!"

When his blurry vision finally focused, and he could clearly see the figure standing steadily in front of Huo Yuhao, a figure as large as a dark golden mountain!
Xu Sanshi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his mouth was so wide open it could fit an egg.

"Holy crap! A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?!"

The entire arena fell into a deathly silence at that moment.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the dark gold dinosaur bear exuding a ferocious aura in the arena, and behind it, Huo Yuhao, who remained calm!
After a brief silence came a commotion like a tsunami!
"A Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear! It really is a Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear!"

"He...he's a one-ring Soul Master, isn't he? Where did this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear come from?!"

"Summoned! He's from our Class 9, and his martial soul is summoning. Holy crap, he summoned a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?!"

"Are you kidding me?! A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?! Can this thing be summoned?!"

In the audience, Wang Dong suddenly stood up, his pinkish-blue eyes filled with disbelief, his mouth slightly agape: "Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear... This guy... actually had such a trump card hidden away?!"

Beibei sighed helplessly, covered her face, and realized it was true.

Tang Ya jumped up excitedly, waving her fist: "Jin Liu! Well done! That's it! Let him be arrogant!"

Jiang Nannan also covered her mouth in surprise, looking at the tall figure and the ferocious giant bear in the arena, her eyes shining with admiration.

Xu Sanshi lay on the ground, looking at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was baring its teeth at him, its dark gold claws gleaming coldly, and feeling the intense pain all over his body. His heart sank to the bottom.

He finally understood what Bei Bei's gesture meant... and he also understood why Huo Yuhao dared to gamble with him so calmly on the Xuan Shui Pill...

This is a total rip-off! A complete disaster!
Huo Yuhao looked at Xu Sanshi, who was lying on the ground with a look of utter disbelief on his face, and slowly said, "Senior Xu, shall we continue? Have you prepared your Xuan Shui Pill?"

Xu Sanshi: "..."

"Damn it, I can't lose like this! I'm Xu Sanshi!"

In particular, he could feel Jiang Nannan's gaze falling on him.

"No way! I absolutely can't give up like this! Nan Nan is still watching from up there. If I lose to a freshman, where will I put my face?!"

Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth, braced himself with his hands on the ground, and stood up abruptly. He was confident that he could defeat any ordinary hundred-year-old or even thousand-year-old soul beast with the powerful defense of the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul.

But this is a Dark Gold Devil Claw Bear!
A top predator among soul beasts, virtually invincible at the same level!

He was truly uncertain!
He took a deep breath, suppressing his surging blood, and looked at Huo Yuhao with a serious expression. He said in a deep voice, "It was my carelessness! What's your name?"

"Huo Yuhao!"

Huo Yuhao responded calmly.

"Alright! Huo Yuhao!"

Xu Sanshi let out a low roar, his fighting spirit reignited in his eyes.

"You are indeed very strong. This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has exceeded my expectations! But I, Xu Sanshi, will never admit defeat so easily!"

boom!
Xu Sanshi pushed off with his feet and charged towards Huo Yuhao again.

"Roar--!"

Seeing that this foolish turtle still dared to charge forward, Jin Liu let out a deafening roar, his massive body carrying a fierce wind as he brandished his dark gold claws and pounced.

Just then, Xu Sanshi's deep purple third spirit ring suddenly lit up!

"Third Soul Skill, Xuanming Shield Formation!"

boom!
In an instant, several solid and heavy Xuanming Shield phantoms appeared out of thin air. They were not used for attack, but cleverly formed a semi-circular barrier, instantly enveloping and restricting the rushing Jin Liu within a certain range!

At the same time, Xu Sanshi used the momentum to leap up and jump above Jin Liu!
"The first soul skill, Xuanming Zhen!"

"Second Soul Skill, Mystic Shield Strike!"

Two spirit rings, Huang and Huang, shone brightly in succession!

A powerful shockwave enveloped Jin Liu from above, while the Xuanming Shield in his hand shone brightly, slamming down heavily on Jin Liu's back with tremendous force!
boom! !

Jin Liu reacted extremely quickly. Sensing the threat from above, he slammed his powerful hind legs into the ground, twisting his massive body forcefully. One of his dark gold claws, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound as it tore through the air, swung fiercely upwards, colliding violently with the Xuanming Shield that was crashing down!
Bang——! ! !
The deafening impact resounded once again throughout the arena!

The energy surged and spread outwards.

Jin Liu's strength was clearly superior. Xu Sanshi was shaken so badly that his blood and qi surged. However, he used this force to nimbly flip in the air, like a slippery eel, and landed on the other side of Jin Liu, avoiding the attack of the other sharp claw that followed closely behind.

The ensuing battle presented a peculiar situation.

boom!
bump! !

Jin Liu was incredibly violent, his strength overwhelming. Every claw strike carried a devastating force, tearing deep trenches into the ground, forcing Xu Sanshi to constantly dodge and parry, making him look quite disheveled.

Xu Sanshi, relying on the powerful defense of the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul, withstood these attacks and deflected their force. At the same time, he relied on his agility and combat experience far exceeding that of Jin Liu to constantly move around and harass, using the interference of Xuanming Zhen and the blocking of Xuanming Shield.

Surprisingly, he managed to fight Jin Liu to a standstill, and although he was at a disadvantage, he was not defeated!
Huo Yuhao watched the battle quietly from the sidelines, nodding inwardly: "Xu Sanshi truly lives up to his reputation as one of the twin stars of the outer academy; his strength is indeed formidable. Although Jin Liu currently only has three hundred years of cultivation, his attack power is extremely strong thanks to the bloodline of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and his strength is in no way inferior to that of ordinary five- or six-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Xu Sanshi's ability to contend with him despite his Soul Venerable cultivation demonstrates his exceptional defensive capabilities and combat skills."

However, Huo Yuhao keenly noticed that while Xu Sanshi was dealing with Jin Liu, the center of the entire battlefield was subtly and slowly moving closer to his own location!
