Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

"Mom and Dad, I promise you, I will definitely eliminate all evil spirit masters in this world!"

However, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Then, Tianmeng beside him condensed a golden light, which transformed into a circular shield.

The sword, formed from the immense soul power of Ye Guyi, struck the shield.

It sounded as if it had struck some kind of steel, even producing a metallic clanging sound.

Then, before Ye Guyi could exert any more force, the previous slash seemed to have been swallowed up by this metallic light and returned to her intact.

Faced with his angelic slash, Ye Guyi quickly gripped his sword with both hands and managed to block it, but his body slid back several meters.

At this moment, she appeared somewhat disheveled, and at one point, she even clenched her fists tightly.

That's right, she almost forgot that Huo Yuhao's soul also had this move.

It can absorb the enemy's soul skills for its own use, an ability that is almost unreasonable.

Ye Guyi even briefly felt a sense of despair. However, after quickly regaining her composure, she took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, looking at Huo Yuhao with icy eyes.

"Your abilities are indeed very strong, but no matter what, you are ultimately just a Great Soul Master. I only need to stall for time with you, and when you can no longer maintain this, that will be your death!"

Huo Yuhao was not annoyed when he heard this, but nodded in agreement.

"You're right, I am ultimately just a Great Soul Master, and my soul power reserves are indeed inferior to yours. But have you forgotten something?"

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao, as if showing off, simply took out the Level 4 special baby bottle.

He made that choice directly, using the baby bottle to restore his soul power while looking at Ye Guyi with a slightly provocative gaze.

At this moment, Ye Guyi felt her whole body trembling with anger.

Yes, she almost forgot about this.

Or perhaps everyone forgot, and even many in the audience agreed with Ye Guyi's words, believing that it would be enough to wait until Huo Yuhao's soul power was depleted to the point where he could no longer maintain two guardian spirits.

However, whether it's the Sun and Moon Genius Tournament or the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament.

No one was ever prohibited from using the baby bottle to restore their soul power, but under normal circumstances, this was impossible, since things could change in an instant on the field.

But right now, they've encountered Huo Yuhao, whose defense is almost unbeatable.

This means that unless Huo Yuhao's defenses are broken through head-on.

Otherwise, the other party might actually rely on the baby bottle to drag things out like this.

The key point is not to forget that the opponent also has another guardian spirit, which also has offensive capabilities.

Crucially, this was all based on the fact that Huo Yuhao did not use a soul tool or necromancy.

"Shameless!"

Holding the Angelic Holy Sword, Ye Guyi stared at Huo Yuhao for a long while, her hands trembling slightly, before finally uttering this word.

"Heh, you're already trying to kill me, and you're still talking to me about shameless things. Don't you feel ashamed?"

This surprised Ye Guyi. Yes.

If you're about to kill Huo Yuhao, why would you say such shameless things to him? It does seem a bit untenable.

"No! He was an evil spirit master, killing him is in accordance with the will of Heaven!"

Having made up her mind, before Ye Guyi could even make a move, two light-attribute attacks condensed from the Light and Shadow Dew were already upon her again. At the same time, Tianmeng suddenly leaped up, and her bright yellow eyes once again unleashed a soul-shaking attack.

Having barely dodged the attack, Ye Guyi endured Tianmeng's soul impact once again. After briefly regaining consciousness, she discovered that two beams of light were already approaching her.

It turned out that the moment the Light and Shadow Spirit Deer launched its attack, Huo Yuhao had already shouldered both level-three fixed-mount soul-guided cannons.

"Boom! Boom!"

Chapter 62 A Release from Obsession, The Direction of the Future

The Level 3 Soul Guidance Cannon on Huo Yuhao's shoulder roared.

Two blazing beams of soul-guided light shot out simultaneously, which was a direct hit on Ye Guyi, who had already suffered another mental attack, namely a soul impact.

They hadn't even fully recovered from the previous mental attack when another one struck.

This made him feel incredibly dizzy. Even though he sensed danger approaching, it would take time to react, and that was exactly what he needed most right now.

Two loud explosions followed as the smoke and dust dissipated.

Huo Yuhao's face showed no sign of relaxation.

As the smoke and dust dissipated, Ye Guyi was now in a terrible state. The combat uniform she wore was mostly torn, with only some vital parts protected. Bloodstains covered her entire body, making her look like a blood-soaked figure.

This was the result of Ye Guyi finally reacting and mobilizing her soul power to protect herself.

Ultimately, it only protected most of the key elements, which Huo Yuhao had gathered, under the power of two level-three soul-guided cannons.

Having not exerted her full defensive strength, she was now practically exhausted.

Looking at the other person, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask a question in return.

"If you consider anyone who has only been touched by a little of this power to be an evil spirit master, then what is the difference between you and those people? You are all just trying to eliminate what you perceive as a threat."

“Even the people from the original three kingdoms of the mainland once defined those with dark attributes, or those who simply used soul beasts to cultivate, as evil soul masters. When those people finally had no way out and truly became the fallen ones, wasn’t it also because of coercion?”

Hearing these words, Ye Guyi's belief seemed to waver for a brief moment.

Yes, it seems I've become one of those so-called dragon slayers.

Although Huo Yuhao possessed the power of an evil soul master, he did not sense any killing intent from Huo Yuhao's guardian spirit, nor did the other party possess the resentment that evil soul masters often have due to excessive killing.

This seems to indicate that the other party is indeed not an evil spirit master.

If I continue to pressure them like this, and they actually go down that path, then I'll be no different from those beasts.

After figuring this out, Ye Guyi's obsession eased somewhat, and she put away her martial spirit. However, she did not admit defeat directly, but instead looked straight at Huo Yuhao.

"Perhaps you're right, but I also have my own pride. One punch to decide the outcome, dare you?"

Upon hearing this, almost everyone looked at Ye Guyi with eyes that seemed to have gone mad.

Ye Guyi is currently at his limit, and Huo Yuhao has almost no reason to fight her physically. He only needs to continue to restore her soul power through the special baby bottle and use the two guardian spirits to exhaust Ye Guyi's soul power, which will allow him to win this round.

Why give up a victory that's already a sure thing?

However, Huo Yuhao did something somewhat unexpected.

After a brief hesitation, Huo Yuhao agreed and actually withdrew his martial soul right there in front of everyone.

At this moment, even most of the people on the podium thought Huo Yuhao had gone mad.

It's important to understand that the physical abilities of a Soul Master cannot compare to those of a regular Soul Master.

Moreover, Huo Yuhao is only at the second ring and is only eight years old, while Ye Guyi on the other side is already over ten years old.

However, unlike the expressions of others who were somewhat puzzled and even a little resentful, Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming...

Both of them remained indifferent.

Just kidding, they know how monstrous Huo Yuhao's physical strength is.

That was someone who could absorb a thousand-year-old spirit ring with his first one, and he succeeded. According to Huo Yuhao, he absorbed a spirit ring that was nearly four thousand years old with his second one.

Despite only being at the second level, his physical abilities already surpassed those of most fourth-level Soul Masters.

At this moment, with Ye Guyi already severely injured, they are now competing in terms of physical strength.

Not only is it not certain that Huo Yuhao will lose, but his personality isn't typically so reckless, unless he's absolutely certain of victory. This means Huo Yuhao is confident he can defeat his opponent in terms of physical strength.

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had also put away his martial spirit, Ye Guyi took a deep breath and clenched her right fist.

Gathering the last of his strength, he hurled it at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao also gathered all his strength, but when their fists, one big and one small, collided, Ye Guyi seemed to be stunned.

Huo Yuhao was even a head shorter than her.

But in this close confrontation, he could even feel the immense blood energy emanating from Huo Yuhao, roaring like a dragon from the abyss.

The opponent's seemingly small fist possessed boundless power.

The reason Ye Guyi made this request was because Huo Yuhao's martial soul was too special. She had never been able to fight him in close combat. Even though her obsession with Huo Yuhao was no longer so strong at this moment, she still wanted to prove that if she were to get close, Huo Yuhao would definitely not be her opponent.

But when you get close, you feel a power that's like a mountain.

Ye Guyi then understood, or rather, seemed to have come to her senses.

That's right, the opponent can absorb a thousand-year-old spirit ring with just their first spirit ring, so how could their physical condition be weak?

However, without the support of spirit rings and spirit skills, it would be foolish to fight against those with weapon spirits or enhanced beast spirits, but that doesn't mean that Huo Yuhao would be weaker than them without using his power.

At this moment, Ye Guyi used up her last bit of strength, but still couldn't shake Huo Yuhao's fist.

She withdrew her hand, a look of relief on her face.

He exhaled a breath of stale air, as if he had used up all his strength, and said, "Huo Yuhao, you win."

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao chuckled softly and then deliberately lowered his voice.

"Then would you be willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with me?"

Ye Guyi mistakenly thought that Huo Yuhao's confession was somewhat frivolous, so she couldn't help but tear up and glare at Huo Yuhao fiercely.

Huo Yuhao, left with no other option, could only communicate telepathically.

"What I mean is, how about you join the organization I'm starting in the future?"

And this last sentence is also the reason why Huo Yuhao would try to "influence" the other party.

Ye Guyi's talent is undeniable, and Huo Yuhao is well aware that the Sun Moon Empire is ultimately a quagmire. If he wants to truly influence the continent's landscape in the future, or rather, to finish what he needs to do first, he will inevitably have to create his own power.

And within that force, he naturally only wants geniuses.

Ye Guyi herself is also a worthwhile person to recruit.

After Huo Yuhao explained via telepathy, Ye Guyi did not agree, but instead raised a question.

"If you can prove to me that you are not an evil spirit master, then we can talk."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
