Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

The key issue was that he was truly helpless in front of the emperor.

"Youthful spirit is a rare and irreplaceable quality; Master, please do not underestimate yourself."

Xu Tianran, standing to the side, spoke with a smile as gentle as a spring breeze.

It gave people an extremely comfortable feeling, but Jing Hongchen dared not be careless in the slightest.

You must know that the Crown Prince in front of us has been in a wheelchair ever since he started using one.

Countless people thought the other party would lose this position, but the other party not only settled the past with almost thunderous means, but also secured this position.

He was once exposed for having an affair with an evil spirit master, yet he still managed to keep the court officials under his control through his own means.

He had been targeted by the other party for a long time, but fortunately, the emperor's order prevented the princes and crown prince from directly contacting him.

"Hehe, Your Highness flatters me."

As Jing Hongchen nodded in response, the competition quickly began in full swing.

On the first day, the competition to narrow down the field from 256 to 128 was already halfway through.

On the first day of the battle, Huo Yuhao was momentarily stunned when he saw who was taking the stage.

That was none other than a man with a similar appearance and makeup.

His wheat-colored skin shimmered, and the three spirit rings beneath his feet flickered.

Coupled with that blazing sun-like martial soul, Huo Yuhao was all too familiar with it.

This is the only princess of the Sun Moon Empire, the younger sister whom the princes still dote on despite their fierce competition for her.

Huo Yuhao was surprised that Xu Tianzhen had also signed up for this year's Genius Competition.

Almost as expected, Xu Tianzhen, with the help of his powerful martial soul,

They defeated their opponent as easily as autumn leaves falling in the wind.

Soon, just as it was Meng Hongchen's turn, she stood up and smiled at Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, how about we bet on how many seconds it will take me to take down my opponent?"

"Sister Meng, how many people of the same level can withstand your Zhu Qing Ice Poison?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Immediately after entering the arena, he saw his opponent on the other side.

He is around fourteen years old, but this time he appears to be a grandchild of the Master of the Red Dust Hall.

Having learned his lesson, he quickly completed the process of Martial Soul Possession.

He charged straight over, his first spirit ring flashing as he activated his protective spirit skill. This was Meng Hongchen's opponent this time.

He can be considered a top genius, possessing the powerful offensive Vajra Bear Martial Soul.

His soul power even reached level thirty-eight, a cultivation level of a high-level Soul Master, which is extremely rare in this genius competition.

Therefore, most people are also wondering how long Meng Hongchen can last in this person's hands.

Soon, as Meng Hongchen's martial spirit possessed her, her eyes transformed into a blood-red color that could drip blood.

That icy mist enveloped the phantom of Zhu Qing's Ice Toad Martial Soul behind her.

As the icy mist dissipated, the person was seen lying straight down on the ground.

This completely baffled everyone.

Keep in mind, this is a high-level Soul Master!

Furthermore, the Vajra Elephant Martial Soul, being a defensive type, can be considered a high-level Martial Soul.

His spirit ring configuration was an exceptionally rare and top-tier configuration, yet even under such circumstances, he lasted less than ten seconds against Meng Hongchen.

As the icy mist dissipated, he collapsed straight onto the arena.

While most viewers were confused, only a small number recognized Meng Hongchen's martial spirit.

After that, there weren't many surprises.

Because Meng Hongchen's martial soul is the legendary Zhu Qing Ice Toad, which is highly poisonous.

Among poison-type martial souls, it is almost considered to be at the pinnacle level.

With Meng Hongchen's return, Xiao Hongchen, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but cough lightly and slowly said.

"Dream, you are truly worthy of your name. However, in terms of the elegance of your fighting style, my fighting style is more in line with our Sun Moon Empire. It is pure violent aesthetics."

In response, Meng Hongchen could only glare helplessly at her older brother.

However, he did not refute it, after all, it was in line with the fighting style of a Soul Master.

No one dared to challenge him on this path.

Soon, it was Huo Yuhao's turn.

The brother and sister also offered words of encouragement.

"Yuhao, keep it up!"

"Hmph, Yuhao, as one of my greatest future enemies, you can only be defeated by me in this genius competition."

Huo Yuhao nodded in response, but couldn't help but make a teasing remark.

"Laughing at the world, what if you fall before the finals?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen reacted as if a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately bristling and retorting.

"How is that possible? There is absolutely no way this genius could be stopped before the finals."

Huo Yuhao did not immediately refute this, but instead arrived near the competition stage and took his position.

The moment Huo Yuhao and the other players took their positions.

As the competition began, countless eyes on the stage started to dart around, and discussions ensued.

"Wow, so young? Is this a talent competition, not a children's competition?"

Is she ten years old?

"Tsk tsk tsk, he probably just became a Great Soul Master. In this genius competition, he probably barely meets the entry requirements."

Huo Yuhao had a slightly immature face and a height of only about 1.6 meters.

Although it has attracted a segment of female viewers, this is a talent competition, and ultimately, it is just a competition.

At such a young age, no one believed that the other side had any chance of winning this time.

The reason is simple: Huo Yuhao's opponent this time is an extremely powerful being.

Wang Teng.

He belongs to the military of the Sun Moon Empire and is the grandson of a legion commander.

At only fifteen years old, he already had a level thirty-nine.

This time, he was also one of the candidates from the Sun Moon Empire to compete for a top-ten spot in the Genius Competition, and even a potential champion.

Looking at Huo Yuhao's youthful face, Wang Teng couldn't help but show a hint of disdain in his eyes, and his tone was even more nonchalant.

"Little brother, this competition isn't about making soul tools."

Wang Teng had naturally learned about Huo Yuhao as well. Although Huo Yuhao was the youngest Level 3 Soul Master at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, he was still a very capable person.

However, his cultivation level was ultimately only that of a second-ring Great Soul Master.

Under such circumstances, Wang Teng couldn't even imagine the possibility of him losing.

Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Teng and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Let's see who comes out on top in the competition."

"Hmph, ungrateful wretch."

As the grandson of the Ruby Legion Commander, he was also a figure in the military. He had always looked down on people like Huo Yuhao who tried to gain entry to the Genius Competition through back channels.

Even though the other party was the youngest level three soul master, he intended to teach him a lesson this time.

Meanwhile, near the reviewing stand on the presidential platform.

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon couldn't help but look at Kong Deming, who was closest to him, and asked with a light laugh.

"Master Kong, this is your disciple, right? His talent in the field of soul tools is quite good, but isn't it a bit too hasty to have him participate in the genius competition?"

Kong Deming spoke in a calm tone.

"What I valued in my disciple at the beginning was not his talent as a Soul Master Instructor, but his talent as a Soul Master."

The moment the words fell, as Huo Yuhao's martial spirit manifested, the entire arena fell into a brief, deathly silence...

Chapter 53 Exposed in public, the Holy Son who disappeared the fastest? (Please continue reading)

As Huo Yuhao summoned his martial soul, the Myriad Soul Banner, filled with the power of the dead and the intense power of light, appeared.

The moment the Myriad Soul Banner appeared seemed to be a provocation to everyone's understanding, and after the Martial Soul possessed the body...

A chilling wind blew around Huo Yuhao, making him seem like a soul hunter from hell, or perhaps the master of souls.

Yet, the pure, almost supernatural power of light in those eyes also gave people boundless warmth.

These two opposing forces undoubtedly shattered everyone's preconceived notions.

Perhaps light and darkness can coexist.

But how can pure light and this power of the dead possibly coexist?

After all, unlike darkness, the power of the undead is itself a product of the refinement of the soul.

This process of refining the soul inevitably involves painful emotions, which is what is known as the generation of resentment.

In everyone's mind, there can only be one kind of person who possesses such power: the infamous evil spirit master on the continent.

However, Huo Yuhao seemed to have trampled on this ironclad rule.

On the viewing platform, Zhongliwu, who had been calm and collected or hidden in his black robe, was present.

The moment he saw Huo Yuhao's martial soul, the necromantic power made his eyes light up.
