Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 98 Crushing

"Mental shock!"

As Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao stepped aside, Huo Yuhao's pupils, which had previously radiated golden light, now emitted a purple aura, and terrifying mental fluctuations instantly filled his eyes.

Such a strong mental fluctuation was naturally sensed by Luo Chen and Tai An, and both of them showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

"Such powerful mental strength! Is Yuhao on drugs? How can his mental strength be increased so terrifyingly? It feels stronger than mine, and he's only at the second ring, right?"

Feeling the immense spiritual power emanating from Huo Yuhao, which was as vast as a torrent, Tai'an couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

It's not his fault; Huo Yuhao's progress was simply too astonishing. Even though he himself was able to suppress a four-ring Soul Master, he had no way to deal with Huo Yuhao's terrifying mental power.

It can be said that Huo Yuhao's mental attack method is his only weakness at this moment. In close combat, his terrifying physical qualities can give him an unparalleled advantage, while in long-range attacks, the power of the air cannon can just make up for this part.

Therefore, in terms of mental strength, this has become Tai'an's weakest point. It can be said that Tai'an is now almost equal to any of the three-ring Soul Master level students from the outer academy in physical combat.

However, he was helpless when it came to mental strength, because apart from his mental strength being somewhat comparable to that of a four-ring Soul Master, he had no means of defense or attack.

It's no exaggeration to say that if the person standing in front of Huo Yuhao at this moment, about to take this blow, were him, then even if Tai An could suppress an ordinary four-ring Soul Master, he wouldn't be able to withstand this move.

This is Tai'an's only weakness at present, and it is also the weakness of many Beast Soul Masters. Because of their weak mental strength, they lack mental attack and defense methods, so they can only be in a passive situation when facing Soul Masters with mental attributes.

At this moment, Xie Huanyue, who was unleashing his millennium-old soul skill and charging towards Huo Yuhao, also felt the terrifying fluctuations of spiritual power. Even he, a three-ring Soul Master, felt an extremely strong sense of pressure from that powerful spiritual force.

Even under the intense interference of this mental force, his own soul power went berserk involuntarily, and the power of his thousand-year soul skill was lost by more than half in an instant!

This is another ability of Huo Yuhao's "white" soul ring: mental interference. With the support of a Soul King-level mental power, even if Huo Yuhao releases several abilities in a short period of time, his own mental power does not become weak in the slightest.

The only problem was his own soul power. With such frequent release of soul skills, Huo Yuhao's soul power was rapidly evaporating. Even if his mental strength was sufficient to sustain it for a long time, his soul power could not support it.

Therefore, at this moment, Huo Yuhao no longer held back and released his mental attack. With the support of the Purple Demon Eye, he brought the power of this move to its limit. For a moment, his eyes also emitted an even more dazzling light!

Golden and purple light flowed, and an invisible wave instantly burst forth from its pupils, like a long spear, rushing towards the evil Illusion Moon, whose form had transformed into a purple sphere!

"Buzz!"

As the invisible impact struck Xie Huanyue's body directly, Xie Huanyue, who was still releasing his thousand-year soul skill and whose body was swollen into a ball, froze on the spot as if electrocuted. His soul power dissipated in an instant, and he fell straight to the ground.

Seeing the three-ring Soul Master fall so unbelievably in front of Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao didn't show any strange expressions, after all, they were already quite clear about Huo Yuhao's strength.

However, none of the surrounding spectators expected this scene to occur. From their perspective, a three-ring Soul Master who had unleashed a thousand-year-old Soul Skill was facing off against a one-ring Soul Master with only ten-year Soul Rings. This was an almost complete and utterly overwhelming situation.

But no one could have predicted that this three-ring Soul Master would lose his power instantly before he could even touch the hem of the other's clothes, falling straight to the ground, and even his aura became extremely weak.

Seeing this scene, not only the audience but also the referees off the field were dumbfounded. Compared to another match in which Wu Feng easily defeated three second-ring Great Soul Masters, Huo Yuhao's match in front of them was undoubtedly extremely strange.

Especially that white spirit ring, which was emitting a dazzling white light at this moment, made him even more incomprehensible. A three-ring spirit master with a thousand-year spirit ring was defeated without warning in a head-on confrontation, and by a student with only a ten-year spirit ring. How could he possibly judge this?

However, after examining Xie Huanyue, he understood why Xie Huanyue had collapsed: it was due to mental exhaustion. This mental exhaustion caused him to suddenly fall to the ground, which made sense.

But how could the spiritual power of a three-ring Soul Master be so thin? Even if spiritual power is overdrawn, it should be after the soul power and physical strength are exhausted. However, under his inspection, Xie Huanyue's own soul power was still in a very healthy state, which made him somewhat at a loss.

"Teacher, we won!"

Seeing that the referee in front of him did not make a move and instead looked thoughtful, Huo Yuhao, who was slightly tired after releasing his mental shock, smiled and reminded him.

Seeing this, the referee could only declare Huo Yuhao's team the winner. It was normal that he was not clear about the competition process between the students, after all, each student's martial soul was different, and the soul skills and abilities they possessed were also different. It was impossible for him to know all the soul skills.

Therefore, after the entire Xie Huan Yue team had lost their fighting ability, he had no choice but to announce the result of the match:

"Class 1 of the freshmen has won this match!"

After the referee announced the result of the match, Luo Chen showed a nonchalant expression. He had expected that Huo Yuhao would be able to defeat the three-ring Soul Master with the defensive martial soul.

After all, the mental power of a five-ring Soul King is no joke. If such mental power were placed on a Soul Master with an ordinary Beast Martial Soul, it would certainly not have much effect.

However, if it were placed on a Soul Master like Huo Yuhao, whose own Martial Soul already possesses mental attack capabilities, then this five-ring Soul King level mental power would be exceptionally terrifying!

When unleashed at full power, any Soul Master whose mental strength is inferior to itss will be greatly affected by such a terrifying mental impact. The impact will be severe, ranging from mental exhaustion to damage to the sea of ​​the mind, resulting in unconsciousness.

Damage to the Sea of ​​Spirit is a very serious matter. For any Soul Master, the Sea of ​​Spirit is essentially the location of their consciousness. Once the Sea of ​​Spirit is affected or attacked, their consciousness will be greatly impacted.

Furthermore, once the Sea of ​​Spirit is damaged, it is extremely difficult to repair. Although it can repair itself, it still requires a long wait. Moreover, if there are no rare and precious materials that can restore one's spiritual power, even if the Sea of ​​Spirit is successfully repaired, certain hidden dangers will remain.

Therefore, it was only because Huo Yuhao was a Soul Master with a spiritual attribute that he was able to easily defeat Xie Huanyue, a Soul Master with three rings.

However, Xie Huanyue's mental strength was already quite formidable among his peers. Otherwise, after enduring the mental impact of Huo Yuhao's Soul King-level mental strength, it wouldn't have been a simple case of mental exhaustion, but rather a severe injury.

"Good heavens, Yuhao's mental strength has improved by a lot. Even a three-ring Soul Master can't withstand his mental strength attack. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to handle it either."

Seeing Xie Huanyue's miserable state, Tai'an was also somewhat dumbfounded. He realized that his assessment of Huo Yuhao seemed to have been too low.

He originally thought that the only threat Huo Yuhao could pose to him was his Martial Soul Fusion Skill. After all, the power of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was quite terrifying, and he would definitely not be able to withstand a head-on collision.

However, he did not expect that Huo Yuhao, who had not even reached the level of a second-ring Great Soul Master, would have grown so terrifyingly in strength that he was able to defeat a third-ring Soul Master who had already released a thousand-year-old Soul Skill all by himself.

Faced with such methods, even he, who was capable of defeating Wu Feng and the others working together, couldn't help but feel a little sweaty.

"What? I told you before that you might not be able to get into the top three in this year's freshman assessment, and you didn't believe me. Now you believe me, right? I told you before, my junior brother is no ordinary person. Don't even mention a three-ring Soul Master, I have confidence in him even if he's a four-ring Soul Grandmaster."

Seeing Tai'an's prickly expression, Luo Chen couldn't help but let out a meaningful laugh and said to him.

In his eyes, Tai'an's own strength was already strong enough, after all, he possessed the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, which made it difficult for him not to be strong. But in front of Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, these two overpowered individuals, what did it matter if he had the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul?

No matter how talented a genius is, they can't possibly compete with a cheat code!

However, Luo Chen was not among them. He was even more overpowered than Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong. If Huo Yuhao was considered overpowered, then Luo Chen could completely jump over the fourth wall and arrest and beat up the person who was cheating!

Of course, that's a long time from now. Right now, Luo Chen is only at the level of a six-ring Soul Emperor. Even if he uses his full strength, he can't compare to a seven-ring Soul Saint. If he wants to truly be invincible on the continent, he still needs a long period of time to mature.

With the strength of a Soul Emperor, he could probably roam freely in many small cities, just like the border of the empire where he first came from. With his current strength, he could walk around with impunity.

However, within Shrek Academy, her strength is only slightly below average. Compared to the outer academy students, she might be quite formidable, but compared to core disciples like Ma Xiaotao and Dai Yueheng, she is merely average.

Not to mention those above them, there are monsters like Zhang Lexuan, who, at just over twenty years old, already possesses a 100,000-year soul ring that most soul masters dream of, and has even reached the level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo, not far from becoming a Title Douluo.

Zhang Lexuan's talent is what makes her a true core disciple of Shrek Academy. After all, she is still an inner court student, yet she already possesses the combat power of a Title Douluo. She is the only one of her kind!

In comparison, although Luo Chen is making rapid progress and has great potential, he is still far behind Zhang Lexuan in terms of actual strength. To contend with her, Luo Chen would need to have the strength of a seven-ring Soul Saint.

After all, if Luo Chen wants to truly unleash the power of his Death Scythe Martial Soul, he must reach the level of a Seven-Ring Soul Saint. Only a Seven-Ring Soul Saint can unleash the True Form of the Martial Soul!

As Luo Chen had anticipated, now that he had already withstood a four-ring Soul Master, it wouldn't be long before he could truly unleash the power of the Death Scythe Martial Soul. It would take him at least three years, and at most five years, since his goal was to reach the Title Douluo level before the age of twenty!

For now, he still needs to continue his studies in the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy. If he wants to truly stand at the top of the continent, he needs to constantly refine himself, neither being too flamboyant nor too mediocre.

Because on this continent, in the number one academy on this continent, the prerequisite for obtaining sufficient cultivation resources is to demonstrate one's potential. The higher the potential, the better the treatment one can receive!

"Afraid? Not at all. I'm just marveling at Yuhao's current strength. After all, he couldn't even beat an ordinary two-ring Great Soul Master not long ago, but now he can easily defeat a three-ring Soul Venerable. That's a bit exaggerated."

"Even if he has made great progress and can defeat a three-ring Soul Master in a head-on fight, my progress over this period is not to be underestimated. Without using his Soul Fusion Technique, it is still unrealistic for him to defeat me."

Faced with Luo Chen's teasing, Tai An shook his head and returned to his usual fiercely competitive state, his eyes filled with longing and desire for battle.

In his view, it was true that Huo Yuhao's strength had improved rapidly, but no matter what, he was still only a one-ring Soul Master. The probability of him defeating Huo Yuhao, who was already able to fight a four-ring Soul Master, was still very small.
