Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

With Yan's consent, Feng Xiaotian introduced Yan to the brother and sister, "Huo Wu, Wushuang brothers, this is His Highness the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."

"Yan, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall."

Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu's eyes lit up immediately, especially the latter. If she was only slightly curious before, she was now looking at Yan with great interest.

Huo Wu's voice softened, "Your Highness, may I ask what brings you to our Five Elements Academy's social gathering?"

Yan looked at the girl with some surprise. "Why do you ask that, Miss Huowu? Or is there something you need from me?"

Huo Wu was very direct, or rather, that was just her personality: "I want to have a match with Your Highness."

"Are you sure you're not talking nonsense? Miss Fire Dance should know something about me, right?"

Yan's gaze turned strange. "If I'm not mistaken, it hasn't been very long since you broke through to the third-ring Great Soul Master, while I had already broken through to the Soul King before the Elite Tournament. With a Soul Power difference of more than twenty levels, you have absolutely no chance of winning."

“I know, but I still want to challenge Your Highness. Because I have heard that Your Highness possesses the legendary ultimate fire.”

Huo Wu remained steadfast in her belief: "My goal is to become the strongest fire-attribute soul master in the world. With my elemental martial soul, I believe I have considerable skill in controlling fire abilities."

The legendary power of ultimate fire is something I have never encountered before, and it is rarely mentioned even in the records of my Blazing Academy; it has always remained just a legend. But now, this power, which fire-attribute soul masters have always dreamed of, has been mastered by the Holy Son.

Therefore, I want to challenge the Holy Son, to personally experience that legendary power, to feel the gap between myself and the Holy Son, so that I can have a goal to strive for.

"You want to make me your target, how interesting."

Yan sized up Huo Wu before him, a few thoughts suddenly forming in his mind. Perhaps, winning over Blazing Fire Academy would be simpler than he imagined. He thought to himself, then looked at Huo Wushuang beside him, "Is that what you think too?"

"Holy Son, please don't be offended. I don't have my sister's courage to challenge you directly, but in my heart, I also look forward to the day when I can fight you."

Huo Wushuang was clearly surprised that Yan would suddenly ask him, and his reaction was a little slow, but his attitude was very sincere. "With the Fire Domain and the Ultimate Fire, you have already reached the pinnacle of the fire attribute path on the continent. Not only us, but even our father is looking forward to having some exchanges with His Highness the Holy Son."

Is that so?

Yan's expression became even more interesting after hearing these words. After thinking for a moment, he said to Huo Wu, "I accept your challenge. To be honest, I haven't had a proper exchange with other Soul Masters who specialize in fire attributes until now. If I have time, I might go to Blazing Fire Academy."

Huo Wu was overjoyed upon hearing Yan's words and quickly said, "Your Highness is right. The entire Blazing Fire Academy warmly welcomes the Holy Son."

"You just said you wanted to have a match with me. How about we find a place now, and I'd like to see how strong you are?"

Yan smiled at Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang. Of course, he was just saying nice things. Let alone Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, even if the previous Blazing Fire team were tied together, they wouldn't be able to withstand a few punches and kicks from him.

However, since he's currently focused on winning them over, he naturally has to give them some face. These two are the children of the Dean of Blazing Fire Academy; if he can develop them into his devoted followers, it will be very beneficial for his work and for winning over Blazing Fire Academy.

Chapter 236 The One-Horned Firestorm Dragon and the Hokage

Inside a training room at the Elephant Armor Academy. The spacious hall is paved with granite, and usually many people are sweating profusely here, but today it is deserted.

The special venue for this Elephant Armor Academy was arranged by Hu Yanli. After hearing that Yan and Huo Wu were preparing for a match, he came over to help out very enthusiastically.

On one side of the practice room, Huo Wu took off her loose school uniform and started warming up on the spot, showing off her rather proud figure. She looked in Yan's direction, her full chest heaving, and her eyes shone with light.

"Sister, let me go first." Yan didn't do any warm-up exercises and went straight to the center of the training room. When Huo Wu was about to step forward, Huo Wushuang stopped her.

“If you, as the younger sister, dare to challenge His Highness the Holy Son, there’s no reason for me, as the older brother, to just stand by and watch.” Huo Wu paused for a moment, then smiled, nodded, and obediently took the coat and school uniform that Huo Wushuang had taken off, stepping aside.

"Come on, let me see the difference between your One-Horned Fire Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus." Yan remained calm and did not feel any pressure from Huo Wushuang's last-minute preparation to enter the fray. In fact, for him, these two siblings, let alone taking turns fighting, would only be a matter of a little more effort even if they attacked together.

He gestured for Huo Wushuang to enter, and almost the instant Huo Wushuang stepped onto the stage, he completed the process of releasing his martial spirit.

Fiery red dragon scales emerged from beneath his skin, and blazing flames rose and then vanished in an instant. Huo Wushuang's entire body was covered in a layer of dark red scales, and a short horn, about three inches long, protruded from the top of his head.

His martial soul, the One-Horned Fire Typhoon, had already possessed him. This powerful sub-dragon martial soul released extremely pure dragon might and a savage aura, but this power posed no pressure whatsoever to Yan.

"It's basically at the level of a top-tier beast spirit, a very good spirit." Yan casually commented on Huo Wushuang's One-Horned Fire Typhoon spirit. As he spoke, he stepped forward towards Huo Wushuang. He didn't seem to have any intention of releasing his spirit, and there wasn't even a trace of spirit power emanating from his body.

"Roar~~~" Huo Wushuang's first spirit ring lit up instantly, and the dark red scales on his body became crystal clear, as if a layer of armor was covering his body.

As a loud dragon roar erupted from his mouth, flames rose from his body, vaguely forming the shape of a dragon behind him. He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and dark red light surged from his palms, instantly condensing into a palm-sized dark red ball of light.

"Whoosh!" Huo Wushuang struck out with his palm, and the fireball shot out like a meteor. Immediately afterward, he moved, his whole body spinning into the air, creating a horizontal fiery tornado. His right hand shot out with its tip towards the approaching Yan, unleashing the Fiery Heart Piercing Dragon Claw Hand.

"Bang!" Yan casually slapped Huo Wushuang's first soul skill, and the fireball was completely shattered, causing him no harm whatsoever. His palm remained fair, as if the intense heat and strong impact of the flames had never existed.

Just as Yan dispersed the fireball thrown by Huo Wushuang, the fire tornado that the latter had unleashed was already close to Yan. Faced with such a powerful attack, Yan simply slashed out with a palm strike.

"Bang!" A bizarre scene unfolded. Yan had only made a casual strike, yet it pierced through the defensive energy of the fiery tornado and landed precisely on Huo Wushuang's shoulder. With a deafening explosion, Huo Wushuang's body was sent flying.

"Roar~~~" Huo Wushuang let out a low roar after landing, and then his third soul ring emitted a burst of soul power.

Claws appeared between Huo Wushuang's hands, his body swelled up again, and golden-red light burst from his scales. This third soul skill was a soul skill that amplified himself. After it was released, his whole body was engulfed in blazing flames.

He charged towards Yan, ready to gain the upper hand in close combat. He had discovered during the earlier probing that although Yan had not released any flames, his flames did not harm Yan's body at all. This immunity to flames was very effective against fire-attribute martial souls.

However, he quickly came up with a solution. The flames of the Unicorn Firestorm Dragon Martial Soul were just an auxiliary ability; the real key lay in the powerful explosive force brought by the dragon bloodline.

Moreover, the characteristics of flames are not only scorching, but also explosive, making them effective in close combat. Huo Wushuang compressed and condensed his fire-attribute soul power as much as possible, then rushed towards Yan, who was still moving forward, preparing to release it instantly upon contact, creating an explosive force.

Huo Wushuang's plan was well-thought-out, but unfortunately he ran into Yan. The latter was not only stronger than him, but his insight and knowledge were also far superior. Yan saw through Huo Wushuang's plan at a glance and immediately launched a targeted attack.

Yan Qianxing suddenly quickened his pace, leaping forward and narrowly missing Huo Wushuang. He was clearly not an agility-type Soul Master, but his speed in that instant was far more agile than most agility-type Soul Masters.

His feet shifted slightly, and he had already circled around Huo Wushuang's body. With just this simple movement, the entire situation had been completely changed.

He took a step forward with a slight push of his legs, then bent his right leg and sank his body. He then twisted his body and swung his arm horizontally, accurately striking Huo Wushuang's abdomen.

The forward chase, the stance, the lowered shoulder, and the counter-ramming were all executed in one smooth motion, leaving Huo Wushuang with no chance.

Yan's arm slashed across Huo Wushuang's abdomen. The latter opened his mouth instinctively due to the pain when he was hit, and a breath escaped from his mouth. Then, his soul power went out of control.

Yan's horizontal strike didn't actually use much force, but Huo Wushuang's forward momentum was also considerable. Forces are reciprocal; when the two collided, Yan, while enduring such a violent impact, also returned an equal force to Huo Wushuang.

The latter was already unstable due to the sudden attack, and with such a powerful blow, his body was sent flying.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..." The dark red scales on Huo Wushuang's body flashed with red light and emitted a series of violent explosions. This was originally his ultimate move to deal with Yan, but he did not expect to enjoy it himself. The series of explosions made him unable to stop, and he kept going up and down in mid-air.

When the final explosion ended, Huo Wushuang scrambled to his feet, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"I lost."

"Your Highness, I'm here." After resting for a moment, Huo Wushuang moved off the field. Seeing her brother leave the field, Huo Wu tossed the two school uniforms in her hand to her loyal admirer, Feng Xiaotian, and then gracefully walked onto the field.

Yan stared at Huo Wu as she approached, a hint of surprise in his eyes. The latter was usually quick-tempered and prone to outbursts, so why was she so cautious and calm when facing him?

Yan was unaware that Huo Wu in front of him was already a fan of his. It was a rare opportunity to spar with her idol, so of course she wouldn't rush forward and start a fight. In her opinion, she was bound to lose this match, so she wanted to lose in a more respectable way.

When Huo Wu calms down, she is completely different from usual, as if she has become a different person and has a unique charm.

Her already slender body was bathed in a faint red glow, making her appear even more stunning, as if she could ignite the hearts of every man.

As she gracefully moved closer to Yan with cat-like steps, a faint orange-red shadow gradually appeared behind Huo Wu.

This was a figure exactly like hers, a blurry fire shadow filled with an illusory feeling, its shapely figure like the shadow of a beautiful woman in a tight-fitting outfit, a combination of fiery and hazy.

This is her martial soul, Fire Shadow. A fire-attribute shadow, this is an extremely special martial soul. This kind of martial soul is an energy body purely formed from the convergence of elemental power. Soul masters who possess it have an extremely high elemental compatibility and can maximize the use of elemental power.

After releasing her martial spirit, Huo Wu gave Yan a sweet smile, then suddenly lunged forward with a graceful dance, her long and powerful legs moving rapidly as she charged straight at Yan.

Huo Wushuang's scouting actions just now made her realize how troublesome Yan's powerful fire immunity was. Most of the time, ranged skills would just waste soul power, so she could only choose to engage in close combat.

Although Huo Wushuang had just perfectly demonstrated how Yan could easily take her down in close combat, Huo Wu still chose to get close to Yan and fight back, because it was the only option left.

Huo Wu was even faster than Huo Wushuang, and she didn't encounter any resistance at all, because Yan didn't make any other moves, he just stood there with his arms crossed and watched her rush towards him.

A broad chest swaying up and down, a slender yet powerful waist. It must be said that Feng Xiaotian has good taste, but unfortunately he's too old. Even if he were to be a devoted follower and a backup option, Huo Wu wouldn't settle for him. So, it's up to him to tame this enchantress.

Huo Wu was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, the distance between them was less than five meters. Huo Wu's eyes lit up, her bright, large eyes sparkling as her third spirit ring shone, a purple halo spreading out, adding to her beauty.

Huo Wu suddenly slid to the side and fell to the ground, sliding towards Yan while keeping close to the ground. Just as she kicked Yan's right foot, her two thighs, wreathed in flames, suddenly rose up and kicked towards Yan's chin.

At this moment, her third soul skill was released. A dazzling orange-red halo was released instantly, and this area-of-effect soul skill pushed away everything around her in an instant.

Resist Fire Ring, a fire-attribute control skill, was the skill used by the Flame Lion hunted by Yan's first soul ring.

At this moment, Huo Wu unleashed this attack at close range, intending to force Yan away. The duel between Yan and her had a range limit; once Yan was pushed far enough away, she would be considered defeated without a fight. She was truly a clever girl.

Chapter 237 Guidance for Fire Dance

"Boom!"

The power of the Fire Ring's burst is very strong. The range of this control skill is related to strength. Huo Wu is currently a three-ring Soul Master, and the skill range exceeds forty meters, while she and Yan are less than one meter apart.

Based on a radius of twenty meters, if Yan were hit, he would be pushed back at least twenty steps and might be sent directly out of the arena.

Huo Wu's Fire Resistance Ring is a fairly famous soul skill, said to ignore any skills and defenses, temporarily repelling all skills within its attack range. According to the description, it should be a skill similar to an invincible golden body.

However, Yan has always scoffed at such 'absolute' statements. Soul skills are, to put it bluntly, just a rudimentary application of laws and rules. Where does such absoluteness come from? Can an invincible golden body withstand a god-level attack?

The ability to resist fire rings ignores defense and skills, provided that the difference in soul power between the two sides does not exceed ten levels. In other words, it is a skill that is used to deal with the same level and to clear out minions. Of course, it does not mean that it is ineffective against higher-level soul masters, but the effect will not be as great.

Yan's soul power is at least twenty levels higher than Huo Wu's. With his cultivation level, he could definitely withstand it head-on. However, before the competition, the two sides had an agreement that Yan could not use soul power higher than level forty. Therefore, he could only use other methods to deal with this fire-resistant ring.

"call out!"

Yan suddenly did a somersault and took off, then used the repulsive force of the fire ring to quickly climb into the air. After flying in an arc in the air, he accurately returned and landed, raising his fist to smash Huo Wu on the ground.

He chose to use the air to adjust his angle and calculate the timing, just in time to avoid the burst of the skill and land back in the same spot.

This move was executed with finesse. Yan didn't even need to use his level 30 soul power to easily break Huo Wu's plan and put the latter on the defensive.

After Huo Wu knocked Yan away, she didn't stop. Instead, she immediately caught up and prepared to use the Fire Resistance Ring to knock Yan away again.

However, Yan thwarted her plan, which put her in a dangerous situation. Yan landed behind her, and turning one's back to an opponent is extremely risky in this level of combat.

After Yan steadied himself, he took a step forward. Huo Wu did not turn around to meet him. Instead, her delicate body trembled, and a strange scene appeared. Her three soul rings shone brightly at the same time, and the fire shadow behind her also changed to incandescent white in an instant.

"How could she also have a circumcision?"

When Ning Rongrong saw Huo Wu perform this technique, her eyes were filled with shock. Although the Fusion Ring Technique was not a closely guarded secret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it was generally only performed by those who possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul due to its high difficulty.

Honestly, across the entire Douluo Continent, there aren't many people who can use this move. Ning Rongrong never expected that she would see the Fusion Ring Secret Technique on an outsider.

Huo Wu unleashed the Fusion Rings technique, simultaneously releasing the soul power that could be released when using the three soul rings' output skills. In that instant, she unleashed all her soul power, using her strongest soul skill.

When the rings are fused, the output of one's own soul power is maximized, and the power of the soul skills used at this time will undoubtedly be multiplied. Incandescent light condensed in her palm, and this time Huo Wu released not heat, but a concentrated explosion.

A white ball of light, no bigger than an egg, floated out and shot straight toward the oncoming Yan. Upon releasing this white ball of light, Huo Wu's face turned deathly pale.

The moment Huo Wu released the white orb of light, Yan felt his body become sluggish. The seemingly small orb of light seemed to possess an infinite attraction, immobilizing his movements.

This white orb of light was her final trump card, the ultimate expression of her soul power unleashed using her Fusion Ring skill. Its power even surpassed the sum of all her condensed soul power. After unleashing this attack, she was completely drained of energy; it was a desperate gamble.

The white orb of light whistled through the air; not only was it incredibly fast, but it was also spinning at a high speed, making it even more difficult to deal with.

However, Yan did not choose to dodge. Instead, he watched as the white ball flew towards him and used his soul power to react.
