Douluo's Contract God King Huo Yuhao
Chapter 44: Overconfident
After the referee announced the results, Huo Yuhao and the other six walked off the competition stage one by one.
Xu Jiawei, who had already decided to invest fully, could naturally see that this was paving the way for Huo Yuhao to succeed as the head of the Sea God Pavilion.
He gestured to the host to bring over the amplifying soul guide device.
"Sect Master Huo is truly a prodigy at such a young age. To have such cultivation at such a young age is probably unprecedented and unlikely to be surpassed in the future."
In the stands, the bewildered crowd erupted in cheers once more, their enthusiasm fueled by Xu Jiawei's praise.
However, the heads of the various Soul Master academies were all deep in thought, especially the Imperial Academy, which represented the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Douling Royal Academy, which represented the Douling Empire.
Judging from Xu Jiawei's statement today, he has already started betting on Huo Yuhao.
However, Huo Yuhao is currently only the next head of the Sea God Pavilion, so it's hard not to have some doubts about how he has already established a close relationship with her so early.
Seeing Xu Jiawei's flattery, Huo Yuhao naturally wouldn't refuse him and responded:
"It's just a bit of talent, but we're determined to win this year's Soul Master Competition."
"Alright, then let's discuss this in detail at the awards ceremony after Pavilion Master Huo leads the academy to victory."
Xu Jiawei replied with a smile, and then left with the Empress and a group of officials.
Xiao Hongchen looked at Old Ma with a solemn expression, somewhat puzzled.
"Old Ma, what's wrong with you? You look like something terrible has happened. It's just the Star Luo Emperor and Shrek Academy praising each other as usual."
"I don't think that Huo Yuhao is really a Title Douluo. He might just be a Soul Saint with strong spiritual power. With my and Meng's Martial Soul Fusion Skill as a trump card, the outcome is still uncertain."
Hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Old Ma's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to explain with a furrowed brow:
"Didn't you notice that the Star Luo Emperor always addressed Huo Yuhao as Pavilion Master Huo? He spoke to him in a tone of equal conversation."
"Shrek Academy is probably up to something big that we don't know about recently, and if that's the case, I'm starting to believe that Huo Yuhao really is a Title Douluo."
Upon hearing Elder Ma's praise of Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen immediately revealed an arrogant and unruly expression.
"Old Ma is really getting bolder with age. He can be scared and cowering over such a small matter. I'll go and see what Huo Yuhao's cultivation level is today."
Before Elder Ma could stop him, Xiao Hongchen headed straight for the direction Huo Yuhao had left in.
Seeing this, Old Ma could no longer sit still. Xiao Hongchen was the grandson of the Mingde Hall Master, and he couldn't let anything happen to him here, so he immediately chased after him.
But when Old Ma wasn't looking, a glint of light flashed in Xiao Hongchen's eyes.
On his way back to his room, Huo Yuhao saw Xiao Hongchen and Old Ma, who had just caught up with him.
Before Elder Ma could speak, Xiao Hongchen preemptively questioned in a somewhat arrogant voice:
"You're probably not a Title Douluo, are you? Putting aside the fact that you look to be at most fourteen or fifteen years old, even if you're at the age limit for the tournament, you can't possibly have a cultivation level of 90."
"More importantly, your spirit rings. Even a Limit Douluo could not turn his first spirit ring black, let alone have six 100,000-year spirit rings. It's obvious that they're fake."
"Too clever by half."
Hearing Xiao Hongchen's confident speculation, Huo Yuhao casually replied without stopping. Given their current adversarial position, there was no need for Huo Yuhao to explain to Xiao Hongchen.
Old Ma had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Xiao Hongchen continue his arrogant remarks.
"Why are you being pushed to the forefront so hastily? Could it be that your previous leader is nearing the end?"
"I reckon it won't last two years, which is why they're doing everything they can to help you get started. It seems Shrek Academy is all bark and no bite."
"Why don't we wait until our Sun Moon Empire destroys the Three Kingdoms of Douluo and then merge them into our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? At that time, we can still..."
Before Xiao Hongchen could finish speaking, Huo Yuhao stopped and interrupted him.
"You're quite interesting. Congratulations on successfully testing me, but you'll have to pay the price."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao glanced at Xiao Hongchen, who then collapsed to the ground clutching his head, letting out a heart-wrenching wail.
At this moment, Xiao Hongchen felt as if ten thousand needles were piercing his brain one by one, yet his consciousness remained perfectly clear, and he couldn't even faint.
Seeing this, Old Ma became anxious and, in his desperation, chose to attack Huo Yuhao directly.
Huo Yuhao activated his battle armor, and after concealing its presence with a simulated soul skill, he simulated the power of the Grim Reaper in his sea of consciousness.
After combining his soul power and mental power into the simulated Death God aura, Huo Yuhao attached it to his hand.
Seeing Old Ma rushing towards him, Huo Yuhao used his mental pressure to slow him down and then struck him in the face with a palm.
Old Ma was instantly slapped and sent flying, crashing heavily onto the hotel floor, half of his body embedded in the ground.
His spirit was also severely damaged. Images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood assaulted his mind, as if he had lived in hell for ten years.
As the illusion ended and he came to his senses, Old Ma gasped for breath, forcing himself to face Huo Yuhao.
"Sect Master Huo, we were in the wrong, but Xiao Hongchen is the grandson of Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall. We beg you, Sect Master Huo, to forgive and forget this matter for the sake of Mingde Hall."
Huo Yuhao snorted coldly and glanced casually at the two people lying on the ground.
"Don't even mention a mere eighth-level Soul Master like you. Even if Huan Jing Hongchen himself came, if I wanted to kill him, no one could protect this kid."
"An eighth-level soul tool, buy his life, otherwise none of you will be leaving."
After witnessing Huo Yuhao's aura, which was like a hellish inferno, Old Ma dared not hesitate any longer and immediately handed over the Sword of Judgment he had brought with him.
Huo Yuhao took the Sword of Judgment in his hand, looked at it with satisfaction, and then turned and left without paying any more attention to the two of them.
Back in his room, feeling the simulated aura of death, Huo Yuhao continued to refine it.
The "Heaven and Earth in Balance" technique isn't always useful, but it was effective in situations like the one just now, given the opponent's provocation.
However, Master Ma also knew that he couldn't kill them. After all, a person's power is a manifestation of their beliefs, and he wouldn't be able to get this level-eight soul tool.
Old Ma then took Xiao Hongchen to a Soul Master in the Star Luo Empire for treatment, since if Xiao Hongchen really went mad, it would be a real problem for him.
"He's really being too clever for his own good. If Huo Yuhao didn't have the strength of a Title Douluo, how could Shrek Academy have pushed him to the forefront?"
"You thought I could find out Huo Yuhao's background for you, but look what happened. You'll have to explain the Sword of Judgment to your grandfather yourself. Anyway, it's your grandfather's own soul tool."
Watching Xiao Hongchen gradually recover and no longer worry about his future, Old Ma thought to himself with a mocking smile.
