Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

Boom!

A huge explosion rang out, and the miserable screams of the vengeful spirits echoed in the arena and the audience area, sending chills down the spines of some spectators and making many others glare angrily at the Holy Spirit Sect contestant on the stage. Although the opponent had used a soul beast vengeful spirit, everyone knew the nature of evil soul masters; if there was a soul beast vengeful spirit, then there must also be a human vengeful spirit.

The origins of human vengeful spirits are generally shady; they may be someone's relatives, friends, or teachers. In any empire, torturing and humiliating the souls of the dead in this way is an extremely shameful act.

Chapter 461 Let Huo Yuhao come!

At this moment, on the competition stage, when the opponent caused the vengeful spirit to explode, Xiao Hongchen immediately activated the invincible shield to resist the attack of the vengeful spirit explosion. Soon, the attack generated after the vengeful spirit explosion was blocked by the invincible shield.

Xiao Hongchen did not let his guard down, because the invincible shield only lasted for three seconds. If he wanted to remain "invincible," he had to keep releasing the invincible shield. However, releasing the invincible shield also consumed soul power. Even though he had the milk bottle to support him, the speed at which the milk bottle restored soul power could not keep up with the speed at which releasing the invincible shield consumed soul power.

At this moment, the opponent's rough voice came: "Xiao Hongchen, why are you still struggling here? I advise you to admit defeat and get off the stage as soon as possible, so you can suffer less. It's not worth losing your life on the stage for a match. You are the grandson of the Mingde Hall Master, and you have great talent. You can be said to have a bright future. There is no need to worry about temporary gains and losses."

Three seconds passed quickly, and Xiao Hongchen subconsciously reactivated his invincible shield. After all, he was the grandson of the Mingde Hall Master, so it was normal for him to carry multiple invincible shields with him.

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen frowned slightly, knowing that this was the opponent's verbal attack. Although he had quickly dealt with the first contestant sent by the Holy Spirit Sect, the Holy Spirit Sect soon sent out the second contestant - Lu Genggeng.

This person possesses a martial soul called Abomination. As Jing Hongchen's grandson, Xiao Hongchen knows that there is an Abomination Douluo in the Holy Spirit Cult. He suspects that Lu Genggeng and that Abomination Douluo are related by blood.

Of course, dealing with Lu Genggeng is quite difficult because Lu Genggeng's martial soul is hatred. The owner of this martial soul has strong defense and can also recover from injuries by devouring corpses and emit a poisonous aura. After Xiao Hongchen came on stage, he also attacked Lu Genggeng and did indeed injure her, but Lu Genggeng immediately recovered from her injuries by devouring corpses.

As for the corpses that Lu Genggeng devoured, they were naturally carried by the opponent using a storage soul tool. The competition did not stipulate that contestants were not allowed to bring corpses into the competition. In order to make the most of his own advantages, Lu Genggeng naturally chose to bring a large number of corpses onto the stage.

Of course, perhaps to minimize the audience's aversion to evil spirit masters, the corpse Lu Genggeng carried was also that of a spirit beast. After all, the audience is more accepting of publicly devouring a spirit beast's corpse.

Xiao Hongchen had figured it out: he had to defeat Lu Genggeng quickly in a short time, without giving Lu Genggeng any chance to breathe. Otherwise, his attacks would be practically ineffective, and he himself would be defeated by the continuous explosions of the vengeful spirits. He stared intently at Lu Genggeng not far away, trying to find a good opportunity.

Lu Genggeng was in a state of martial spirit possession. At this moment, he was over five meters tall, with a fat body, a head like a ball, and red fierce light emanating from his eyes. His whole body exuded a dark green aura.

He held the Holy Spirit Flag made by Ye Xishui and waved it continuously. A large number of soul beast vengeful spirits flew out from the Holy Spirit Flag and rushed towards Xiao Hongchen, exploding one after another. However, these vengeful spirits' explosive attacks were still blocked by the invincible shield.

On the high platform, Xu Tianran turned his gaze away from the competition stage and observed the expressions of the audience. He noticed that most of the audience's faces were filled with resentment, and he sighed inwardly, feeling that his current situation was somewhat unfavorable.

"The reputation of evil soul masters is still too bad. If I had known Huo Yuhao was so strong, I shouldn't have let the Holy Spirit Cult participate. I should have kept those guys in the shadows." Xu Tianran said with some regret.

Although he chose to keep the news of his father's death a secret in order to ensure the smooth running of the competition, he planned to wait until Sun Moon won the championship before announcing that his father had been assassinated by Shrek Academy and Star Luo Empire, thus stirring up public opinion within the empire and preparing for war.

However, his support for the Holy Spirit Church and his close association with it would undoubtedly affect his ruling position.

The royal family of the Sun and Moon will surely use this as a reason to attack him. After all, most of the royal family members of the Sun and Moon have placed their hopes on the Third Prince. How could they just stand by and watch him ascend the throne?

After much thought, he felt that the Third Prince deserved to die, as did some of the hardliners among the royal family who supported the Third Prince. After all, their existence would prevent him from leading the Sun Moon Empire to greatness once again.

His mind raced, and he quickly finalized his plan: "To quell external threats, we must first secure internal stability. After the tournament, I'll send a powerful member of the Holy Spirit Cult to kill these people and solidify my rule."

Then, they could pin the blame on Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire, inciting the remaining royal family members to hate Shrek Academy and the Star Luo Empire. Internal strife within any faction could be temporarily alleviated once a common external enemy was identified.

........

Rest area of ​​the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

As Di Qiu'er watched the soul beasts and vengeful spirits explode one after another, her breathing became rapid involuntarily. Even the hand she was holding in Huo Yuhao's hand tightened. Huo Yuhao felt the slight increase in the pressure from Di Qiu'er and could understand why she was acting this way.

After all, Qiu'er was a mythical beast and a member of the soul beasts. Seeing so many soul beast vengeful spirits explode and die naturally made her feel bad.

"Senior Yuhao, please substitute Xiao Hongchen later and let me play." Di Qiu'er withdrew her gaze from the competition stage and asked Huo Yuhao, the captain, for his opinion. She really wanted to go on stage and fight against the evil soul masters to avenge those soul beasts and vengeful spirits.

Huo Yuhao transmitted his voice, "Qiu'er, let me do it. I've recovered a lot and I'm ready to go on stage."

Evil spirit masters are ruthless and cunning, and they have many insidious methods. Even if they are no match for you in a direct fight, they might still resort to underhanded tricks to harm you. However, I can promise you that one day I will lead a team to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult, and you will be with me then.

Upon hearing this, Di Qiu'er was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Huo Yuhao to have the idea of ​​destroying the Holy Spirit Cult. However, destroying the Holy Spirit Cult was not a simple matter. After all, based on her understanding over this period of time, the Holy Spirit Cult was an extremely powerful force.

However, since Huo Yuhao said so, she naturally chose to believe him. After all, Huo Yuhao had already created many miracles, and she had a very high level of trust in him.

........

As the momentum of the exploding vengeful spirits subsided and the number of vengeful spirits on the arena decreased significantly, Lu Genggeng immediately rushed towards Xiao Hongchen with heavy steps. The sound of her footsteps was as dense as drumbeats, each one striking the hearts of the audience.

As Lu Genggeng charged forward, he shouted, "Xiao Hongchen, you should just admit defeat. With your strength, you can't possibly be my match. Let Huo Yuhao handle this!"

Xiao Hongchen realized that his opportunity had come. Just as he had expected, the vengeful spirits of the other party were not endless. Now the other party was at his wit's end and had to fight him in close combat.

He immediately activated his flying soul tool and flew backward. This competition allowed the use of flying soul tools, but there were restrictions on flight altitude.

Chapter 462 Defeat in the Mortal World

As a Soul Master, he naturally couldn't get close to Lu Genggeng, who possessed the Hate Martial Soul. Instead, he would choose to keep as far away from her as possible to maintain the advantage of being a Soul Master.

His fourth spirit ring rippled, shimmering with purple light.

Fourth Soul Skill - Sacrifice of Gold.

Almost instantly, golden light appeared on Xiao Hongchen's body, and his entire soul power was burning. The effect of this soul skill was very simple: during the burning of soul power, the power of his soul tool and soul skill was greatly enhanced.

The reason why Xiao Hongchen did not use his sixth soul skill, Metal Control, to destroy the opponent's Holy Spirit Flag was mainly because he had already tried it in battle and found that he simply could not control the metal in the Holy Spirit Flag. The metal elements seemed to be wrapped in a strange layer of vengeful spirit energy, which hindered his control.

Perhaps only by cultivating to a higher level can I break through the energy of those vengeful spirits and control the metal in their soul tool.

This is actually quite normal. Ye Xishui's expertise in soul tools surpasses that of all the soul masters in Shrek Academy combined. The Holy Spirit Flag that Ye Xishui personally crafted is extraordinary and cannot be compared to any soul tool from Shrek Academy.

Bang bang bang!

The soul-guided cannons on his body burst forth with sparks, and a large number of soul-guided cannons rushed towards Lu Genggeng like arrows released from a bow. Their power was so great that Lu Genggeng had to be on high alert.

As Lu Genggeng ran and roared, a faint red light appeared on his body almost instantly. He used the flying soul tool on his back to help him and leaped into the air, pouncing on Xiao Hongchen in mid-air like a vicious wolf, wanting to tear Xiao Hongchen to shreds.

Just as the enhanced soul-guided cannons were about to hit him and explode, Lu Genggeng revealed a strange smile: "Xiao Hongchen, you've been tricked."

The next moment, his sixth spirit ring flickered with black light. Almost instantly, a distorted wave appeared around his figure. The spirit cannons passed through his body easily without exploding, as if they had passed through nothingness.

This is an extremely special soul skill called Void. Its function is very simple: it makes one's body as thin as air, so that no physical attack or soul power attack can affect him.

Within the Holy Spirit Cult, only outstanding disciples, under the guidance of powerful members, can seek out special soul beasts possessing this soul skill, hunt them down, obtain soul rings, and thus acquire the soul skill.

In fact, the sixth soul skill he originally planned to acquire was not Void, but another soul skill that was more suitable for his Hate Martial Soul. After he reached the level limit of the Soul King stage, he delayed acquiring the sixth soul ring, mainly to wait for a sixth soul skill that was extremely suitable for his Hate Martial Soul. However, he finally got this kind of soul skill before the finals, but under the leader's request, he could only give up this kind of soul skill and choose Void instead.

The reason is simple: Huo Yuhao's current strength is simply too great. A Soul Saint who possesses both a Spirit-type Body Martial Soul and an Ultimate Ice Martial Soul is undoubtedly the number one young Soul Master in the Douluo Continent today.

Therefore, the Holy Spirit Cult decided to change Lu Genggeng's original plan for his sixth soul skill and instead give him the Void Soul Skill. The purpose of doing so was simple: Lu Genggeng has a considerable number of control soul skills, but the only drawback is that these control soul skills can only be truly effective when the opponent gets close enough to the opponent.

If Lu Genggeng didn't have the Void Soul Skill, she would probably have been quickly defeated before she even got close to Huo Yuhao, and wouldn't have been able to play any role at all.

Of course, the Void Soul Skill also has its flaws, namely, it cannot resist mental attacks. However, resisting mental attacks is not difficult. Nowadays, the Holy Spirit Cult has equipped every contestant with a mental defense soul tool.

Lu Genggeng, who looked like a humanoid mountain of flesh, charged directly at Xiao Hongchen.

Xiao Hongchen knew it was too late to run. His prized soul-guided cannon attack, to his surprise, temporarily lost its effectiveness against Lu Genggeng's soul skill.

He planned to use his invincible shield to resist the attack, and then continue to look for an opportunity.

Ke Lu Geng Geng's first and fourth spirit rings lit up, and green poisonous mist surged towards Xiao Hong Chen.

At the same time, Lu Genggeng swung out a large hook with a bone chain at the handle and emitting white light, which directly hooked Xiao Hongchen. He had timed it perfectly, just as Xiao Hongchen's old invincible shield disappeared and he was about to put on a new one.

It is extremely difficult to capture this moment, but Lu Genggeng did it with his rich experience. At this moment, Xiao Hongchen felt his body being pulled towards Lu Genggeng's hair by a strange force. The rattling sound of chains echoed in his ears, as if death was knocking on the door.

Xiao Hongchen felt that he was getting closer and closer to Lu Genggeng, which was undoubtedly bad news. He tried to break free of the hook, but failed.

It felt as if the hook had caught not one's own body, but one's soul.

He acted decisively, using his invincible shield to overcome the difficulty and activating his fifth soul skill, Golden Affection, to neutralize any potential physical attacks.

However, a large amount of dark green poisonous fog also attacked. Xiao Hongchen was surrounded by the dark green poisonous fog, and his head was a little dizzy. His soul power circulation was slowed down for a moment, but his invincible shield was still released. Moreover, his fifth soul ring was flashing with black light, and he quickly turned into a humanoid metallic liquid.

The hook was instantly severed and rendered ineffective due to the invincible shield and the golden affinity.

However, because the invincible shield was not released in time, some of the green poisonous mist was trapped inside the invincible shield. Although the invincible shield can resist external attacks, the premise is that the attack is outside the shield.

The space inside the invincible shield was indeed more enclosed than the outside, so the dark green poisonous mist that remained inside the shield surged in. In addition, the Golden Affection could only offset 80% of physical attacks, but not the soul power attack of poisonous mist. Soon, Xiao Hongchen's soul power circulation speed slowed down further, and his drowsy condition became more and more serious.

"Not good." He used a large amount of soul power to suppress the toxins in his body. Three seconds passed in a flash. His soul power circulation speed improved and his mind became clearer, but he had not recovered to his peak condition.

Therefore, the speed at which he activated the next invincible shield naturally slowed down.

In battle, this would undoubtedly be fatal.

"Xiao Hongchen!" Lu Genggeng pressed down on Xiao Hongchen like a mountain of flesh, and once again seized the opportunity when Xiao Hongchen switched to his invincible shield, he threw out a hook that emitted white light, directly hooking Xiao Hongchen and pulling him towards himself.

At the same time, he waved the Holy Spirit Flag again with his other hand, and several vengeful spirits attacked Xiao Hongchen.

The two were very close when the vengeful spirits let out shrieks and then exploded one after another.

Chief Referee Zheng Zhan had already seized the opportunity. He immediately stepped onto the field, took the brunt of the explosion, and saved Xiao Hongchen.

He looked across at Lu Genggeng, whose body was injured in the explosion, but who was using the corpse of a soul beast to eat in order to heal his injuries.

"Lu Genggeng wins! Please send the next contestant from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Chapter 463 Yuhao Takes the Stage, Ultimate Ice Shows Its Power

After saying this, Zheng Zhan led Xiao Hongchen back to the rest area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. When he landed with Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen immediately came up to him and asked anxiously, "Chief Referee Zheng, is Xiao's physical condition alright?"

"It's alright, just some minor injuries. With some treatment and a little rest, I'll be fine," Zheng Zhan said.

On his way back, Zheng Zhan had already checked Xiao Hongchen's physical condition. Although he had some conflicts with that old man Jing Hongchen, he also knew that geniuses were the future of the Sun Moon Empire. If an empire could not provide a safe environment for geniuses to grow, it would not be long before the empire gradually weakened, was destroyed by enemy countries, and became a symbol in the long river of history.

Therefore, he could not target Xiao Hongchen just because Xiao Hongchen was Jing Hongchen's grandson. He knew very well that Xiao Hongchen could not compare with Huo Yuhao in terms of talent.

However, Xiao Hongchen is also a genius with considerable talent. In the future, as Xiao Hongchen grows up, he will surely become a pillar of the Sun Moon Empire and make contributions to the Sun Moon Empire.

After saying these words, Zheng Zhan left immediately. After all, he was the chief referee and needed to be above the playing field before each match began.

Sitting in the chair, Xiao Hongchen said, "Yuhao, I have once again let you down. I was originally planning to show the might of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and win a few more matches to lighten your burden."

But I only defeated one opponent before being defeated by the second. Now our score is 1-1 with the Holy Spirit Sect team.

As he spoke, he unconsciously clenched his fists, and a look of resentment appeared on his face.

Huo Yuhao released Di Qiu'er's hand, stood up from the chair, and said, "Senior Xiao, you don't need to blame yourself. The reason you lost the match was partly because the opponent's evil soul master soul tool was somewhat special, and partly because the opponent's soul skills were somewhat countered by you."

"Leave the rest to me. I will lead the Sun and Moon team to victory."

As he spoke, his soul power surged and rose into the air, then rushed towards the arena. Soon, Huo Yuhao landed on the arena.

On the high platform, Zhongli Wu, dressed in black robes, saw Huo Yuhao step onto the stage and his mind raced: "Lu Genggeng is bound to lose. Among the younger generation of Soul Masters, Huo Yuhao is extremely strong. Lu Genggeng has absolutely no chance of defeating Huo Yuhao!"

However, Lu Genggeng should be able to inflict some damage on Huo Yuhao using her own martial soul, soul skills, and the soul tool made by her mother, laying the foundation for the Holy Sect's ultimate victory! As long as Huo Yuhao loses, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team will absolutely be unable to stop the Holy Spirit Sect team from winning the finals.

Lu Genggeng's eyes lit up: "Huo Yuhao, you've finally come up on stage. You're definitely stronger than Xiao Hongchen. I want to see how strong the number one genius of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is. Referee, hurry up and announce the start of the match."

Chief Referee Zheng Zhan glanced at Lu Genggeng and said, "Both contestants should step back to the edge of the competition platform and then introduce themselves to each other."
