Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 80: Battle against Huo Gua, revealing his special skills

"Hey, it's someone I know!" On the other side, Xiao Xiao smiled, her emerald green side ponytail swinging cutely.

Back in Class One, besides her, the only other person Lin Yun was close to was Huo Yuhao, with whom he could exchange a few words.

Xiao Xiao, who had been keeping an eye on Lin Yun, naturally also remembered Huo Yuhao, this unremarkable guy, as well as Wang Dong, whose looks were not much less than Lin Yun's.

After all, I'm a sucker for good looks.

Although Lin Yun had already captured her heart, Wang Dong was still a "handsome guy," and Xiao Xiao could still remember him.

And yet, before even reaching the ranking matches, I've already run into a former classmate?

"Both teams, please enter the field!" The referee repeated the order when he saw that Lin Yun's team did not make any move.

Xiao Xiao, who was about to say something, playfully stuck out her tongue, took Lin Yun's hand, and walked onto the stage. Zheng Xiaolong, who was watching the show behind them, followed, his face full of a doting smile.

I've bumped into something.

As expected, the sweet moments from the eldest brother are the most satisfying!

On the ring, the two teams stood on opposite sides, facing each other from a distance of several dozen meters.

"The match begins!"

Faced with an opponent as imposing as Lin Yun, Huo Yuhao no longer held back and took out a large number of various hidden weapons that gleamed with a cold light from the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night given to him by Tang Ya at his waist.

Of course, these hidden weapons were also given to me by Tang Ya.

Before the assessment, Tang Ya had already told him that although soul tools were not allowed to be used in the freshman assessment, throwing weapons such as Tang Sect hidden weapons were allowed.

Before this, no matter how difficult the battle was, Huo Yuhao had never used Tang Clan hidden weapons. But facing an opponent like Lin Yun, who was almost impossible to defeat, Huo Yuhao could no longer care about such things.

He...must win!

Standing next to him, Wang Dong glanced subtly at the various hidden weapons in Huo Yuhao's hand, a strange look flashing in his pink-blue eyes.

These hidden weapons gave him a very familiar feeling.

It was as if he was meant to use this weapon, just like the feeling he had when he looked at his own martial spirit.

Thinking of this, Wang Dong was startled and quickly shook his head, banishing these strange thoughts.

How could that be? It's just a weapon made from some metal blocks. How can it be compared to his martial spirit?

What he didn't realize was that a seed had already taken root in his heart, and given the right opportunity, this seed would guide him to join a sect he was meant to join.

In contrast, Lin Yun laughed when he saw Huo Yuhao pull out those ancient Tang Clan hidden weapons from his soul tool.

"Yuhao, is this a Tang Clan hidden weapon?" Lin Yun asked with interest.

"That's right, this is the unique weapon of my Tang Sect." Huo Yuhao raised his right hand, with several bone-piercing needles and throwing darts between his fingers. "I'm sorry, Lin Yun. Although I didn't want to rely on external objects, there was no rule against using hidden weapons in the freshman assessment. I had no choice but to resort to this."

"Tch..." Xiao Xiao snorted in dissatisfaction. Just as she was about to say something, Lin Yun stopped her with his hand.

"You're right. Since there are no restrictions on the freshman assessment, you, as a Tang Sect disciple, are naturally allowed to use hidden weapons." Lin Yun nodded in agreement, but then the smile on his face suddenly became somewhat strange. Seeing Lin Yun's smile, for some reason, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong opposite him both felt their hearts skip a beat.

That smile...something's not right!

Thinking back to when Lin Yun punched Zhou Yi into a pulp, he had the same smile on his face!

"As a disciple of the Tang Clan, it's reasonable for you to be able to use hidden weapons. As a member of my sect, it's also reasonable for me to be able to use the unique skills of my sect, right?" Lin Yun smiled slightly, gently patted the front of his clothes, took a step back with his left leg, and stretched his right hand straight forward, palm facing upward.

Upon seeing his action, Xiao Xiao and Zheng Xiaolong's expressions immediately tightened, and they took several steps back, almost touching the edge of the ring, before stopping.

They hadn't forgotten how badly Wu Feng was beaten after Lin Yun made that move last time!

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong on the opposite side, along with the agility-based girl next to them, looked completely bewildered, wondering what tricks Lin Yun was planning.

Not to mention the three of them, the referees outside the arena, as well as the other teams resting and recovering their soul power in the audience, also turned their attention down.

The next moment, a rustling sound rang out from Lin Yun's body. It was the sound of a myriapod's sharp claws crawling across the cloth.

At the same time, an invisible sense of oppression quietly appeared, and everyone felt as if they were being choked.

I'm having trouble breathing!

A touch of verdant green quietly appeared, and a scorpion, as exquisite as a work of art, slowly crawled out from Lin Yun's collar. Only when the scorpion crawled up Lin Yun's outstretched arm and stopped on his palm did everyone get a clear look at its appearance.

It was slightly larger than Lin Yun's palm, and its entire body was bluish-green, except for its eyes, which were a crystal blue that was different from its body color. Its small pincers seemed to be covered with frost, and its nine-segmented scorpion tail was slightly raised.

"This is... a soul beast?" Huo Yuhao's eyes widened, his face full of shock.

"Yes, soul beasts!" Lin Yun nodded with a smile. "As a Tang Sect disciple, you can use hidden weapons, so as a Beast Taming Sect disciple, isn't it reasonable for me to be able to command soul beasts?"

Reasonable... my ass!

The referee's expression immediately fell apart. These kids have no experience, but do you think I don't understand?

Although this referee did not have the extensive theoretical knowledge of Wang Yan and could not recognize that the soul beast in Lin Yun's hand was the Ice Jade Scorpion, the soul beast aura emanating from Qing'er was at least three thousand years old.

Even he, a Soul Emperor-level teacher, felt a strong sense of danger emanating from Qing'er, let alone these little ones.

You're making these Soul Masters, who average only one or two rings, fight against the three-thousand-year-old Soul Beast in your hands?

The referee was about to call a stop when he remembered what Lin Yun had just said.

Yup!

The rules for the freshman assessment are that a team can only have one offensive-type Soul Master and cannot use Soul Tools, but there doesn't seem to be any explicit rule against controlling Soul Beasts.

The referee, realizing what had happened, was a bit stunned.

What kind of sect is this Beast Taming Sect? How can a disciple with only three rings be able to control a three-thousand-year-old soul beast?

The next second, a flash of cyan light passed by, and Huo Yuhao and the other two were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, enjoying the same treatment that Wu Feng had just experienced a couple of days ago.
