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

In fact, there are assassin organizations in Xingluo City. Generally speaking, these assassin organizations take money and do dirty work for important figures.

The assassin organization he was going to join was called Sunrise.

Sunrise is a well-regarded assassin organization. Many nobles place orders with the organization to kill their brothers and sisters who are vying for the right to inherit the throne.

However, Sunny doesn't require any Gold Soul Coins as a reward.

They only need living soul beasts or some rare metals unique to the Star Luo Empire, which is rather strange.

Soon, Zhang Tieshan walked into an auction house and quickly found the auction house owner.

The auction house owner was an obese man who was examining the map of the Star Luo Empire on the wall with an extremely serious expression.

This person is the leader of the Sun Organization, and his public name is Sun Number One.

"Sunday One, I need to gather assassins to accompany me to kill someone," Zhang Tieshan said bluntly.

Sunrise No. 1 turned around and looked at Zhang Tieshan: "Kill someone? Do you need us to deal with the illegitimate son of some noble family?"

“He’s not an illegitimate child.” Zhang Tieshan waved his hand. “He’s Huo Yuhao from Sun and Moon.”

"Oh? Huo Yuhao?" Sunrise Number One narrowed his eyes slightly. "Killing him won't be cheap, so, guest, can you afford what we need?"

"Of course I can afford it," Zhang Tieshan said in a deep voice. At the same time, eight spirit rings appeared on his body, with a configuration of two yellow, two purple, and four black rings.

Zhang Tieshan thought to himself that he wasn't a Soul Master, so how could he possibly carry rare metals on his person? Besides, it would take time to summon living Soul Beasts.

Therefore, he can only demonstrate his strength to enhance the persuasiveness of his words.

"Sunday One, I'm just a messenger. The higher-ups want you to do everything you can to kill Huo Yuhao. As for what you need, we'll give it to you." He implied his extraordinary background through these words.

A smile appeared on Sunny One's face: "I see. I believe you can provide what we need."

However, we need to first investigate the difficulty of assassinating Huo Yuhao and then conduct an assessment.

In seven days, we should be able to complete the survey and evaluation, at which point we will provide a price quote.

"Okay." Zhang Tieshan nodded, then quickly walked away.

As Sunny One watched Zhang Tieshan's figure disappear from sight, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

"I never expected someone would try to assassinate Tower Master Huo. It seems I need to investigate this person's background and then tell Tower Master Huo so he can make the decision." Thoughts churned in Sunrise One's mind.

The so-called "Sun and Sun" actually belong to Mingde Hall and is considered a subordinate organization of Mingde Hall. Mingde Hall is nominally one of the three major forces in Douluo Continent, so it is normal for it to have some subordinate organizations.

Sun and Sun are primarily responsible for collecting rare metals, soul beasts, and intelligence; their identity as an assassin organization is merely a cover.

As for Sunny Number One, he is now also a member of the Spirit Pagoda. He has already disguised himself, so he is naturally not afraid of outsiders recognizing his true appearance.

......

Battleground.

Ji Juechen stood in the center of the arena, holding a long sword. He looked calmly at Meng Hongchen and the others not far away and asked, "Miss Meng, when will Huo Yuhao come to the Soul Arena?"

Today is the day he and I agreed upon, and I'm really looking forward to our battle.

A smile appeared on Meng Hongchen's face: "Ji Juechen, I hope you can be a little more patient. As far as I know, Junior Brother Yuhao has been quite busy these days."

Perhaps he's busy conquering soul tools right now. Besides, you only agreed on a certain day for the battle, not a specific time of day.

"Alright, then I'll wait for him here." Ji Juechen was indeed very patient, and his face did not show the slightest impatience.

After a while, Huo Yuhao appeared in the air. He quickly landed on the ground and put away his flying soul tool.

He looked at Ji Juechen not far away: "Ji Juechen, when did you arrive?"

He was just studying soul tools with Xuan Ziwen, but because he was going to fight Ji Juechen today, he left the laboratory after a while.

Ji Juechen stared at Huo Yuhao: "That's not important. Huo Yuhao, the most important thing is that we have a fight!"

Chapter 168 Facing Ji Juechen

Seeing Ji Juechen's rising fighting spirit, Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "As expected of the battle maniac Ji Juechen," and then he said in a deep voice, "Alright."

Ji Juechen nodded, his expression turning serious.

He gripped his sword tightly, and six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—floated out beneath his feet.

He solemnly said, "Huo Yuhao, to show my respect for you, I will go all out. I hope to see what I have been searching for in you."

He then looked at the others nearby and said, "You can stay away now. This is a battle between me and Huo Yuhao."

The Soul Arena has now been cleared out, so the stands are mostly empty. Meng Hongchen and the others are currently standing in the Soul Arena, and to ensure their safety as much as possible, they should be kept at a distance.

"No need. I think it's fine for Xiaomeng and the others to stand closer. With me here, their safety can be guaranteed." Jing Hongchen's voice came from high above.

Soon, he and Xuan Ziwen landed on the ground together.

"Master! What brings you here?" Jing Ziyan looked at Jing Hongchen with surprise.

Jing Ziyan actually came here as Ji Juechen's friend. Because Ji Juechen's personality was too eccentric, even though Ji Juechen was the chief of the Soul Guidance Department with real control, was powerful, and had a bright future, very few people were willing to be friends with him.

"Hearing that Yuhao is going to fight Ji Juechen, I naturally came to help to ensure the safety of both sides. After all, some people are quite strong, and I was worried that the referees in the Soul Arena might underestimate them and be unable to withstand the attacks, resulting in injuries to the students," Jing Hongchen explained with a smile.

The nearby referees were a bit bewildered; they couldn't stop it?

He was a Soul Douluo, while the two guys in front of him were a Soul Master and a Soul Emperor. Could it be that Ji Juechen had some trump card he hadn't used yet? Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.

The gap between a Soul Emperor and a Soul Douluo is enormous. Even the Evil Soul Master Soul Emperor, known for his ability to fight beyond his level, cannot defeat a Soul Douluo! Unless, Ji Juechen is hiding his true strength!

Why would Ji Juechen, a warlike person who doesn't care about winning or losing and only cares about "sharpening his sword," hide his strength? And why hide so much of it!

Thinking of this, the referee's expression darkened slightly, and he immediately began to imagine the possibilities. He wondered if Ji Juechen was a spy sent by the Star Luo Empire? Was he challenging Huo Yuhao to kill him?

Because the referee was someone Jing Hongchen could trust, he naturally knew about the existence of the Soul Spirit System and understood that its emergence was actually related to Huo Yuhao.

Moreover, the Soul Spirit system has benefited his friends in the Sun Moon Army and his descendants. Therefore, he will naturally stand firmly on Huo Yuhao's side in many matters, after all, Huo Yuhao is a figure who will create a new era!

Protecting Huo Yuhao's safety is undoubtedly the right thing to do.

As long as Huo Yuhao lives, the Sun Moon Empire will surely prosper in the future.

Thinking of this, his gaze toward Ji Juechen became increasingly strange. As long as Jing Hongchen gave the order to capture Ji Juechen, he would immediately take him down and send him to prison to be severely tortured, so that the other party would experience what the Ten Great Tortures of the Sun and Moon were like!

"Master, is Ji Juechen so strong that he can ignore my protection of others?" the referee asked, subconsciously tightening his grip on the soul-guided sword at his waist.

Jing Hongchen, noticing the referee's tension, chuckled softly, "Relax, I'm here. Anyway, just watch the match carefully; this one-on-one match is really not much of a surprise."

Jing Ziyan, standing to the side, thought to herself that there was indeed no suspense.

After all, Ji Juechen is a Soul Emperor.

Moreover, Ji Juechen is completely different from those Soul Emperors who rely on drugs to reach the top. In Jing Ziyan's memory, Ji Juechen has never taken drugs for cultivation, so there is no problem with his foundation being unstable.

Meanwhile, Xuan Ziwen, who was nearby, was racking his brains about how he, as Huo Yuhao's teacher, should comfort Huo Yuhao after he lost.

In his view, Huo Yuhao was doomed to lose. After all, the gap between a Soul Emperor and a Soul Sect was too great. Huo Yuhao was indeed an unparalleled genius, but even geniuses need time to grow.

At this moment, Jing Hongchen looked at Ji Juechen and Huo Yuhao and said, "Alright, the competition will begin now."

As soon as he finished speaking, four spirit rings rose up on Huo Yuhao's body.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao directly activated the first soul skill of his Spirit Eye Martial Soul—Mental Detection Sharing.

This actually helps him better control the battlefield.

Ji Juechen rushed towards Huo Yuhao at that moment, like a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Huo Yuhao, raised his long sword, and slashed at Huo Yuhao.

The longsword in his hand gleamed with a chilling light, appearing unstoppable.

With a loud clang.

Huo Yuhao activated his soul-guided shield, blocking Ji Juechen's sword. He stared directly at Ji Juechen, his expression calm.

Both of them are Soul Masters, but Ji Juechen is a Soul Master specializing in actual control.

The so-called "real-control type Soul Master" is someone who cannot make Soul Tools, but is very skilled at using Soul Tools and has a fairly good combat level.

Huo Yuhao looked at Ji Juechen and delivered a direct soul strike. Ji Juechen's figure paused slightly, and his eyes were momentarily confused.

Huo Yuhao then directly used the Water Dragon King Soul Bone to activate the Water Control Soul Skill. He silently chanted in his heart, "Control Water!"

The so-called water-controlling soul skill can help him control the water element.

Therefore, he only needs to use this as a basis to remove some water from Ji Juechen's body to affect Ji Juechen's condition.

Although the opponent is a Soul Emperor with better physical attributes, a Soul Emperor is still a human, not a god.

The next moment, Ji Juechen felt his mouth was dry and his throat was burning. In an instant, Ji Juechen's breathing became more and more rapid, and he even felt that his steps were somewhat unsteady and weak.

"Am I poisoned? Was this Huo Yuhao's attack?"

"Strange, even Meng Hongchen needs time for the poison to take effect, yet Huo Yuhao poisoned me in such a short time?" Ji Juechen was somewhat surprised, subconsciously gripping his longsword and circulating his soul power to try to suppress the "poison."

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao immediately condensed the moisture in the air, turning the rain into ice and using the ice to create swords. A large number of ice swords floated in mid-air and flew towards Ji Juechen.

Ji Juechen was not to be outdone. He gripped his longsword tightly, and the soul rings on his body fluctuated wildly as he amplified his soul power.

In the eyes of many at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Ji Juechen is definitely a very peculiar existence, aside from his personality and his soul skills.

Because Ji Juechen's soul skills are basically used to amplify his own soul power, and other than that, they don't have any special effects.

Chapter 169 The Surprise of the Crowd

Therefore, Ji Juechen's usual methods of attack are to use close-combat soul tools and self-created combat techniques.

With his terrifying soul power amplification, as long as he is willing to continue wielding his sword, he will have a great advantage in close combat.

Combat skills are different from self-created soul skills. "Reign Over the World" is a combat skill, not a self-created soul skill. However, although it is not a self-created soul skill, it is even better than a soul skill.

Click, click.

A large number of ice swords were shattered by Ji Juechen.

Just as Ji Juechen was about to continue searching for Huo Yuhao, he discovered that Huo Yuhao had disappeared.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Ji Juechen shattered the ice sword, Huo Yuhao directly chose to use his simulated soul skill.

He had become one with his environment at this moment. Ji Juechen would not be able to find him immediately, but he would eventually find him.

After all, Huo Yuhao cannot leave the Soul Arena; if he chooses to leave, it means he has lost.

"Next, we should try to make a decisive move. Hmm, Ji Juechen's close combat is indeed strong. After all, all of this guy's soul skills are designed to amplify his own soul power. It's like he's given up all the fancy soul skills and focused on one area."
