Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao's Path of the Knights

Knowing her grandfather's intentions, Xiao Hongchen, who had originally wanted to observe for a while longer, changed her mind.

He wants to go directly and test whether that kid is capable or not!

Although Grandpa was very satisfied with the boy, and Meng seemed to like him quite a bit, he hadn't given him his approval yet!

After much effort, Xiao Hongchen found Huo Yuhao, who had just come out of the library.

"Senior, what's the matter this time?"

"Huo Yuhao, fight me."

"What?!"

The boy frowned, staring at Senior Xiao Hongchen, who was looking at him coldly, his eyes full of confusion.

Why did Senior Xiao Hongchen make him fight against him?

Everything was fine before, why did you suddenly change your attitude?

Did something happen that you don't know about?

Filled with doubt, Huo Yuhao did not respond immediately, but instead inquired about the reason for the matter:

"Senior, can you tell me why you insist on having me fight you?"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's question, Xiao Hongchen nodded inwardly.

Not impulsive, able to handle situations calmly...

That's not bad.

"You should know that on this continent, strength is paramount. Talent alone is not enough. So I want to test your strength."

"How do I test it?"

"It's just a simple sparring session, and I'll also see if this peerless genius is just all show and no substance."

Xiao Hongchen stared intently at Huo Yuhao with his heterochromatic eyes. Huo Yuhao could sense a strong fighting spirit and other emotions in the other's eyes.

"If it's just a friendly spar, then I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, senior. My skills aren't very strong, and I certainly won't be able to satisfy you."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and refused. With his current strength at the second level, he would need to put in a lot of effort to defeat his opponent without using his armor.

Moreover, Xiao Hongchen is not only a five-ring Soul King, but also a Soul Guidance Genius, so his strength is definitely much stronger than that of a normal five-ring Soul King.

If he were to actually fight his opponent, even with powerful soul skills like simulation and mental detection, he might still lose if he didn't use his trump cards.

The main problem is that the difference in soul power levels is too great. Normal attacks may not be effective, and Huo Yuhao may not be able to control the intensity of attacks that are too powerful.

He lacked experience fighting against Soul Kings and couldn't control his attack power.

The other party is Senior Meng's brother, and if he is hurt, Senior Meng will be sad.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao did not want to fight Xiao Hongchen.

"It's just a friendly spar to test your skills. We won't go all out, and you can bring one more person with you."

"I'm sorry, senior, I..."

"Who is making things difficult for my friend!"

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to refuse again, a familiar voice came from not far away.

It's the Heavenly Strategy Sword!

Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen had already attracted considerable attention at the library entrance.

In addition, ever since Tian Cejian recognized Huo Yuhao as a friend, he often had daily activities with Huo Yuhao, such as eating together and returning to the dormitory.

Therefore, at this moment, Tian Ce Jian stood directly between Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen.

"Huo Yuhao is a friend I acknowledge. As the sharpest weapon of the Tian Ce Army, I will not let my friend fight alone!"

Tian Ce Sword stood in front of Huo Yuhao, staring at Xiao Hongchen. The two geniuses exuded a fierce aura and were equally proud, neither willing to give in!

While the two were confronting each other, the surrounding students were whispering among themselves:

"Tian Ce Sword is here too! The academy's two legends are both here!"

"I never expected the Heavenly Strategy Sword would actually confront Senior Xiao Hongchen for Huo Yuhao!"

"They're roommates, and both geniuses, so naturally they get along well."

"But I don't think Tian Ce Jian's bad temper makes him seem like someone who has friends."

"Two geniuses from the academy actually fought over a man!"

"What strange thing are you talking about?"

The surrounding chatter was noisy, but Huo Yuhao paid no attention to those people; his focus was entirely on the two people facing off.

"Sword, we should..."

"Yuhao, the old man once said that a man must burn with passion; unlit gunpowder will not produce sparks!"

Tian Ce Jian turned to look at Huo Yuhao, his eyes burning with passion!

"All right."

Knowing how stubborn Tian Cejian was after making up his mind, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh.

He originally didn't want to fight Xiao Hongchen, but now it seems he has no choice but to.

"Very well, you two geniuses, come at me together! Let me see if you really deserve to be called geniuses!"

……

The three arrived at the training grounds dedicated to battles, where a teacher was brought in to act as the referee.

Huo Yuhao and Tian Cejian stood on either side of the training ground with Xiao Hongchen.

With the referee's signal, the battle was about to begin!

In an instant, Huo Yuhao released his martial soul, his spiritual eyes flashed, and two soul rings appeared.

The next moment, Huo Yuhao, Tian Ce Jian, and the referee teacher all simultaneously saw the entire situation inside the trial arena in their minds.

Huo Yuhao had already told Tian Ce Jian about his soul skills, so Tian Ce Jian wasn't too surprised when he received the mental sharing.

The referee standing next to him was extremely shocked, as this was the first time he had experienced Huo Yuhao's mental detection and mental sharing!

"Such an amazing soul skill exists in the world, and it even appears in a two-ring Grand Soul Master!"

The referee couldn't help but admire him, his gaze falling on Huo Yuhao, and he couldn't help but nod in admiration.

Huo Yuhao truly lives up to his reputation as a peerless genius!

The reason for sharing a copy with the teacher is to prevent the referee from making a misjudgment of the battle, since Huo Yuhao's simulated soul skill is not so easy to see through.

Xiao Hongchen was completely unaware of everything that was happening on Huo Yuhao's side.

Because Huo Yuhao rarely tells others about his soul skills, and Meng Hongchen did not tell Xiao Hongchen about the effects of Yuhao's soul skills.

Therefore, Xiao Hongchen was unaware of the effects of Huo Yuhao's soul skill, but he didn't care about it.

In Xiao Hongchen's view, how good could two hundred-year-old soul rings be?

And he's a Five-Ring Soul King!

Five Rings Soul King!

If he can't even defeat a combination of three rings and two rings, then all his cultivation of his level 50+ soul power has been in vain!

Thinking this, Xiao Hongchen did not make the first move, but waited for the two people opposite him to release their soul skills first.

In Xiao Hongchen's view, the Tian Ce Sword charged straight towards him without activating its soul skill.

He hasn't even activated his Martial Soul yet?

Are they looking down on him, a genuine Five-Ring Soul King?

Xiao Hongchen merely sneered inwardly at Tian Cejian's actions.

However, what he didn't know was that, under Huo Yuhao's simulation, the Tian Ce Sword had already released its martial spirit.

However, since it was just a friendly sparring match and not a life-or-death battle, Tian Ce Sword only activated its martial spirit and did not use its soul skills.

Under the cover of Yuhao's simulation, the fist carrying terrifying force landed directly on Xiao Hongchen.

Because the Tian Ce Sword in his sight had not activated its martial spirit, Xiao Hongchen also did not activate his martial spirit at this moment, and only wanted to rely on his physical body to withstand the opponent's attack.

And so, Xiao Hongchen, who was not on guard, took a full-force punch from Tian Ce Jian!
