Chapter 97 Ji Juechen

"You can leave now!"

"I think you're bullying a child."

Ji Juechen sheathed his sword, glanced indifferently at Huo Yuhao, and turned to walk down the mountain.

In his eyes, Huo Yuhao was only thirteen or fourteen years old. At that age, he couldn't be much stronger. Even Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen, the most talented students at the Sun Moon Royal Academy, were far behind him.

What's more, this is someone I've never met before?

"Heh, are you so sure?" Huo Yuhao chuckled as he looked at the slender figure, his soul power surging forth from his body like a mighty river.

In an instant, an invisible cold wind swept across the entire back mountain.

"Hmm?" Ji Juechen paused for a moment, turned his head, looked at the spear in Huo Yuhao's hand, and a glint of light flashed in his calm eyes. "I'm sorry, I misjudged you. You are indeed qualified to challenge me with your sword."

蒋!

The longsword was drawn.

Ji Juechen gently stroked the bronze-colored sword, his blue hair swaying in mid-air, and said calmly like a sword master: "You make the first move."

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Huo Yuhao stomped on the ground, his spear piercing through the ground, the aura of extreme ice spreading out, ice particles spreading wherever it passed.

A single point of cold light shines with boundless brilliance, striking directly at the vital point.

Faced with this swift, accurate, and ruthless attack, Ji Juechen's eyes remained unchanged. He took a step forward, leaving afterimages behind him as he unleashed a torrent of sword energy that slashed towards the attacker.

The two collided.

The overwhelming fluctuations of soul power intertwined continuously, creating a fierce wind that destroyed the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees.

"At least he has the cultivation level of a Soul Saint, which is quite good."

Huo Yuhao could sense the other party's soul power and roughly gauge their cultivation level.

With a talent level three innate, reaching this level at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six is ​​quite impressive, truly remarkable.

Huo Yuhao switched arms, and with a flick of his spear, he pushed it down. In the instant the silvery-white light collided, he created distance between himself and Ji Juechen.

A long spear needs enough space to be effective.

In a direct face-to-face confrontation, a longsword offers more flexibility than a sword.

"The ultimate ice!"

Ji Juechen had the same thought. He had also created some distance, and his gaze fell on the longsword, half of which was obstructed by the cold. He frowned slightly.

If it's purely ice-type, it can naturally be shaken away.

But the ultimate attributes are different.

It seems I have no choice but to use my soul skill.

"Third Soul Skill - Holy Light Thrust!"

Three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—emerged on Ji Juechen's body. Although he said this, all three spirit rings suddenly lit up, and a layer of dazzling golden light surged from his body, instantly condensing into a sharp golden light on his longsword.

This beam of light, like a materialized sword blade, carried unparalleled momentum and pierced straight towards Huo Yuhao, who was a few steps away.

"The Wrath of the Evil Emperor!"

"First Soul Skill, Ice Emperor's Claw!"

Huo Yuhao's right arm suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, like a brilliant star. His power surged like a tide, yet it seemed to be suppressed by something, making it difficult to unleash.

At the same time, a scarlet halo appeared beneath his feet like a blazing sun, and his soul power converged into his spear like rivers flowing into the sea, shooting out like an arrow released from a bow.

"Bang!"

The golden light and the silvery-white light collided like two meteors, unleashing a deafening roar that seemed to shake the entire world.

The ground beneath their feet, under the impact of the light, cracked like a shattered mirror, and the cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

The oppressive feeling of the 100,000-year soul ring was like a heavy mountain, causing a hint of surprise to flash in Ji Juechen's calm eyes.

His gaze was like two sharp swords, staring directly at the reflection of the clock in Huo Yuhao's heterochromatic eyes, and he said softly, "It is truly enviable, but good talent does not mean strong strength. Just like the brightest star in the night sky, it may disappear in an instant."

The fourth purple soul ring under Ji Juechen's feet appeared quietly, like a blooming violet.

In just a moment, the spear in front of Huo Yuhao suddenly lost its power and plunged into the ground.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao's mental detection system issued a warning.

Behind him, a cold light seemed to come from the netherworld, slashing out with lightning speed.

"Teleportation soul skill?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Yuhao turned around and, drawing upon the power of the 100,000-year-old soul bone Black Dragon's Wrath, swung his right fist directly.

The sword and fist clashed, producing a crisp and pleasant metallic clang.

Boom!

At that moment, the ground seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and suddenly collapsed.

Taking this opportunity, Huo Yuhao grabbed the spear and, using the momentum, kicked Ji Juechen hard.

"Knock knock knock knock!"

Caught off guard, Ji Juechen was thrown backward like a kite with a broken string by the impact of this tremendous force, retreating a full five meters before he could barely regain his footing.

His gaze fell upon Huo Yuhao, no longer empty as before, but filled with an unprecedented solemnity, as if he were facing a powerful enemy.

Instead of focusing on weapons against the enemy, they rely on agile and adaptable skills.

Ji Juechen felt as if he had touched something, but it also seemed as if there was a barrier, just one step away from stepping through it.

"Again!"

Ji Juechen's eyes shone with a pursuit of swordsmanship, and the longsword in his hand emitted a "humming" sound, his whole body filled with sword intent.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Longsword Pierces the Sky."

A golden circle suddenly appeared at the tip of the sword, covered with dense runes, like stars scattered across the surface.

In an instant, Ji Juechen's speed suddenly increased several levels, and the sword shadows were so fast that even Huo Yuhao's eyes, which were at the level of microscopic perception, could not see them.

Under the perception of mental detection, there are afterimages in all directions centered on oneself, and it is completely uncertain where they will emerge from.

"A very strange soul skill, but it seems to have forgotten one other place." Suddenly, a bunch of crystal-clear wings grew from Huo Yuhao's back, and in an instant, he was in the sky.

No matter how powerful you are, it's hard to have real strength if you can't fly.

"Third Soul Skill, Abyss Eyes."

A jet-black spirit pattern appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead, with a faint ray of light containing the patterns of destiny emerging from it.

If they can't be found for the time being, that's not so simple.

It covers the entirety of mental energy.

In that instant, Huo Yuhao saw the figure standing still in place. With a wave of his hand, a gigantic evil eye descended—this was the 100,000-year-old evil eye.

"I'm finally out."

As soon as the Evil Eye appeared, it roared to the sky. No one knew what it had experienced in the Sea of ​​Spirit. Its peaceful and healthy life was gone.

If you don't practice every day, you'll get beaten.

His position was the lowest.

"Tie him up."

Huo Yuhao glanced at it and said calmly.

"Okay!"

The Evil Eye let out a few eerie laughs, and countless pitch-black tentacles covered Ji Juechen, who was trapped in a mental illusion.

"Well----"

Looking at Ji Juechen, who was bound hand and foot in front of him, Huo Yuhao's lips twitched slightly. The binding was quite elaborate.

Why would a man wear something like that on his chest?

Huo Yuhao landed on the ground and quietly waited for Ji Juechen to wake up.

As his cultivation level increased, the Eye of the Abyss has advanced from over eight thousand years to over sixty-eight thousand years.

It's not the same environment as it was on the first floor.

It is a series of illusions.

You thought you went out?

Actually, you're on the second floor.

You think you've broken through the illusion again? Sorry, there's a third layer.

Illusion is definitely not a trivial matter.

He can make people become engrossed in what matters most to them.

If Huo Yuhao were to target him intentionally, it might be enough to cause the opponent's blood and qi to surge.

It can even indirectly manipulate the other party.

However, this process might take 100,000 years.

Otherwise, relying solely on such illusions, if one goes against their original intentions, it is easy to discover the flaws and break free.

Even with Ji Juechen's strong will, it was no easy task for him to gradually break free from the layers of illusion.

"break!"

The next second, a sword's cry suddenly rang in my ears.

Huo Yuhao looked at Ji Juechen in disbelief. Had half a minute passed?

Is it that fast?

It seems he underestimated Ji Juechen.

"Um?"

Ji Juechen opened his eyes and saw a huge, evil shadow. He instinctively wanted to raise his sword to slash at it, but found that he couldn't move at all.

Turning my head, I realized that I was actually tied up.

His gaze fell on Huo Yuhao, who was standing to the side looking slightly disheveled, and he closed his eyes and said, "I lost."

He hasn't been defeated in a long time.

But this is actually quite common.

Huo Yuhao is almost omnipotent, possessing a body, weapons, spirit, and the ability to fly. If Ji Juechen is not careful, he can easily fall into a predicament.

This is a matter of experience.

After all, not everyone is as versatile as Huo Yuhao.

"Xiao Xie, come back." Huo Yuhao waved his hand.

The Evil Eye reluctantly retracted its tentacles, its body gradually shrinking to the size of a palm, and tentatively pressed against Huo Yuhao's face, saying:

J

Can I not go back?

Before Huo Yuhao could speak, a graceful figure in emerald green suddenly appeared and grabbed Xie Yan. "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly!!"

"How can someone so young learn to slack off?"

"How can you become stronger if you don't train properly?"

"Can't you see? You're the weakest."

"How can you be at peace with yourself at your age?"

Ice Emperor snorted coldly and kicked him back into Huo Yuhao's mental space.

She truly couldn't stand that evil eye.

It's no wonder they're so unambitious; they must have been raised by someone else.

He's completely muddle-headed and even more useless than Tianmeng.

If it weren't for the fact that its strength was truly genuine, she would have suspected that this Evil Eye had also grown up eating rare and precious herbs, just like Tianmeng.

"Hyotei, isn't this a bit too much of a exploitation?" Huo Yuhao said cautiously from the side.

Although he knew that everyone was cultivating in the Sea of ​​Spirit, he didn't pay attention to it all the time.

Judging from the situation with the Evil Eye, the layout inside seems somewhat chaotic.

"You don't need to worry about it. Becoming a god as soon as possible is the only way forward." Ice Emperor crossed her legs, arms crossed, and glanced at the dazed Ji Juechen to the side, saying calmly, "This is the first time you've summoned a spirit to fight in front of others. Are you trying to make us all fight?"

When Hyotei said this, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

She really wanted to punch someone too.

"Yes, I will definitely join you if I have the chance." Huo Yuhao nodded, looked at Ji Juechen and smiled, "I am the tower master of the Spirit Pagoda. The Evil Eye from earlier, and this one, are both spirits that can assist spirit masters in battle and can also increase their lifespan in the future."

"Your sword is powerful, but it is not comprehensive enough. I wonder if you would be interested in joining my Spirit Pagoda? In the future, I will definitely arrange three 100,000-year soul spirits for you."

For someone like Ji Juechen...

Nothing is more tempting than progress.

Therefore, he revealed his soul.

Although he had forgotten how the original story described how he abducted this person.

But he had his own ideas.

In the battle of spirits, his iconic line, as the master of the Spirit Pagoda, would naturally be a key element.

"Your subordinate pays respects to the Tower Master."

Ji Juechen knelt down on one knee without the slightest hesitation.

Huo Yuhao offered a very generous deal; the three 100,000-year-old soul spirits alone were enough to make everyone unable to refuse.

Moreover, he also wanted to spar with Huo Yuhao more often.

Now that we're all together, even our daily battles will be a form of progress.

At the Sun Moon Royal Academy, his growth had reached a bottleneck, but Huo Yuhao's appearance showed him a new path.

"Hahaha, I'm like a fish in water with Ji Juechen." Huo Yuhao quickly pulled Ji Juechen up, looking at the figure in front of him who was a head taller than him with a grin.

In this way...

His mission to the Sun and Moon was thus completed.

After that, all you need to do is wait for Ai Ditian to send a powerful expert to leave a teleportation array at the Sun and Moon Spirit Transmission Tower before you can leave.

He was going to personally travel to the Star Luo Empire.

Of course, it might be similar to the Sun and Moon there; he can arrange for his clones to go there when the time comes.

His target was the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

His current strength is enough to fulfill his original vow.

The White Tiger Duke's mansion was utterly destroyed, leaving not a single chicken or dog alive.

I'll also take this opportunity to pay tribute to my mother.

Just as Huo Yuhao was feeling smug, Ji Juechen suddenly asked, "Tower Master, since you have methods to increase the lifespan of soul spirits, do you have methods to increase the lifespan of soul rings?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao froze on the spot.

This novel idea truly caught his eye.

It wasn't because increasing the age of his soul rings would allow him to earn more money and luck, but rather because it would allow him to orchestrate a war between the four kingdoms.

He was unsure of what approach to take to initiate a major war ahead of schedule and unify the Douluo Continent when Ji Juechen's idea inspired him.

"Yes, of course, but it might take a while. You mustn't tell anyone." Huo Yuhao patted his shoulder and nodded.

"Um.

""

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed deep in Ji Juechen's eyes.

If it were truly possible, then his strength would be enough to bring about earth-shattering changes.

One can imagine how terrifying it would be if everyone had nine 100,000-year soul rings.

"Yuhao, we need to handle this carefully."

Bingdi looked at Huo Yuhao with worry in her eyes and quickly explained the negative consequences of the matter.

If everyone could easily obtain a 100,000-year soul ring, the result could plunge the entire Douluo Continent into collapse.

After all, back then, nobody was willing to submit to anyone else.

The destructive power of a 100,000-year soul ring is earth-shattering.

"Don't worry," Huo Yuhao secretly transmitted his voice, "Advancing isn't that easy. If it's just about leveling up, it would take more than ten years to advance to the next level."

Although he had the intention of establishing the Ascension Platform.

However, some restrictions will remain.

A 100,000-year soul ring might require all the resources, so such a thing is very rare. Therefore, before it is fully perfected, it will probably be similar to the original story.

Of course, if he becomes a god.

Perhaps things can be changed, and we can create something similar to the Void God Realm.
