Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

Immediately afterwards, he felt a gaze, which seemed to come from the podium.

This made Yan Feng inwardly chuckle to himself.

Indeed, he was all too familiar with the pressure emanating from that gaze; it came from his own master.

However, under this oppressive atmosphere, Yan Feng's rebellious or rather fearful nature was instead consumed by extreme anger.

The moment the referee announced the start, he looked at Yuhao and couldn't help but speak telepathically.

"You haven't even done anything, yet you get what I've always dreamed of. Why should I?! I'm going to prove that I'm better than you! I'm better than you!"

After those almost manic words were spoken, Yan Feng directly completed the summoning of his martial soul.

The moment the enormous dragon skull reappeared, a pair of bone wings also appeared behind Yan Feng.

"Whoosh—" A cloud of icy blue air rushed out towards Huo Yuhao with the force of a tsunami.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao instantly activated the Myriad Soul Banner, summoning his two guardian spirits, Tianmeng and the Radiant Spirit Deer. Tianmeng's golden light transformed into a barrier, blocking the attack.

The moment the golden light thickened, the icy blue aura of evil power was returned to Yan Feng.

As Yan Feng's bone wings tumbled, he managed to dodge the breath attack, but his expression remained incredibly gloomy.

He had already investigated Huo Yuhao, and the most troublesome thing about the other party was this disgusting defense.

So, after taking a deep breath, his fourth soul skill suddenly flashed, and those bone spikes that shimmered with dark blue light rose from the ground.

Huo Yuhao had no choice but to quickly use Ghost Shadow Steps to retreat and create distance.

His defenses could cover almost everything, but they couldn't stop this sudden attack from underground.

The reason he didn't choose to defend was simple: if he really activated Tianmeng's Life Reflection Shield to that extent, the consumption of soul power would be enormous.

In the instant he flashed away, Yan Feng's figure also vanished from the spot...

Chapter 72 Yan Feng's Obsession, Soul-Devouring Pill

After all, Huo Yuhao was well aware of the importance of this battle.

But as Yan Feng's figure disappeared, Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment.

Behind him, a gloomy voice suddenly rang out.

"I said I would prove to the Lord that I am the genius!"

The moment the words fell, countless bone spurs, imbued with icy evil power, spurred from Yan Feng's body like vines and began to wrap around Huo Yuhao.

Its speed was so fast that it gave Huo Yuhao almost no room to react.

Huo Yuhao merely chuckled at this.

The next instant, the shield of life reflection suddenly expanded, forcefully blocking Yan Feng's sneak attack.

Moreover, the surface of the Life Reflection Shield rippled, and then the bone spikes, imbued with icy evil power, hurtled straight toward Yan Feng.

Yan Feng, however, showed no surprise on his face, as if he had anticipated or already foreseen this scene.

His bone spur suddenly jolted and flew into the air.

Having dodged the attack, he still looked at Huo Yuhao with a somewhat resentful gaze.

Afterwards, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Is the mental element your primary attribute?"

Because most of what Huo Yuhao displayed was the power of his guardian spirit, what was truly astonishing was the fusion of the undead and the light attribute within his martial soul.

However, based on Huo Yuhao's incredibly fast reaction, Yan Feng could almost conclude that the opponent's main attribute was definitely mental, otherwise his reaction speed would never be this fast.

Realizing this, his face darkened.

He couldn't resist taking out a pill emitting black smoke directly from his chest.

"Although it will come at a price, defeating you is clearly more worthwhile."

Huo Yuhao could almost make a judgment the moment he saw the pill.

This must be some kind of special contraption of the Holy Spirit Cult.

The moment Yan Feng swallowed the pill, a burst of black light suddenly shone from his eyes, and he was enveloped by a gust of yin wind, his soul power surging and roaring.

His soul power instantly reached the Soul King level.

This scene took everyone by surprise.

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon, sitting on the platform, also had a dark expression on his face.

I couldn't help but look at Zhongli Wu.

Zhongli Wu's complexion wasn't good either.

He knew all too well what Yan Feng was holding; it was the Soul-Burning Pill, which the Holy Spirit Cult gave to certain individuals for use.

The Soul-Burning Pill sacrifices a portion of the user's soul power, allowing their strength to rapidly advance to a higher level.

For evil spirit masters, who are born to control this power of the dead, every time they sacrifice a portion of their soul power, their future achievements may be limited.

Now, Zhongli Wu finally understood just how jealous his good disciple Yan Feng was of Huo Yuhao.

They're even willing to use something like this to try and win.

The reason he remained calm and said those things to Yan Feng was because...

It was also because they had witnessed Huo Yuhao's defensive limits, and because the other party also possessed Kong Deming's soul tool.

Therefore, in his opinion, even though Yan Feng is an evil soul master, it would still be quite difficult for him to defeat Huo Yuhao, who is at the level of a great soul master.

But this was the final, and unlike last time, Ma Rulong had already said he would concede regardless of the outcome. So Huo Yuhao's match was already over, and the result was known.

Using the soul tool given to him by Kong Deming under those circumstances wouldn't be considered a foul. However, in this final match, if Huo Yuhao uses the soul tool and demonstrates abilities far exceeding his normal level...

Without a doubt, Huo Yuhao's championship, this genius competition, and even the reputation of the entire Sun Moon Empire will be affected.

Even he, who used Xu Tianran to promote his good apprentice Yan Feng, will be affected.

This was something he didn't want to see, so his face darkened, and he cursed inwardly.

"Damn it, if you just obediently follow the steps, you can choose between being an elder or a respected elder."

He underestimated Yan Feng's ambition, as Yan Feng was now his only disciple.

In Yan Feng's heart, the position of Holy Son and even the leader of the church is the goal he strives for.

He looked down on all positions, including the position of honored elder.

The reason why the other party in another time and space was able to remain calm.

It's because whether it's Tang Ya or Ma Xiaotao.

They weren't even fully conscious; they were both under a secret spell. Under those circumstances, if he had followed the proper procedures, he might still have ascended to the position of leader. After all, the Holy Spirit Cult would never allow these two weapon-like beings to become leaders. The position of Saintess was only due to their innate talents.

However, Huo Yuhao was different. Yan Feng knew that if Huo Yuhao joined the Holy Spirit Cult and grew step by step, then he would have no connection with the Holy Son or even the future leader of the cult.

Therefore, Yan Feng was willing to sacrifice some of his talent to defeat Huo Yuhao head-on.

Even so, I'm still not guaranteed to get that position in the future, but if I don't do this...

Once Huo Yuhao enters, he will have no more chances.

So Yan Feng chose to take a gamble.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao's face also turned completely gloomy.

It's important to know that when an evil soul master reaches the Soul King level, that's equivalent to the combat power of a Soul Emperor.

This means that he will be facing Yan Feng, who is equivalent to a Soul Emperor.

After swallowing the Soul Devouring Pill, Yan Feng summoned the skull dragon head again without the slightest hesitation.

When that icy dragon breath descended once more upon Huo Yuhao's Life Reflection Shield.

Huo Yuhao felt his soul power burning rapidly within his body.

The dazzling light shield before me was gradually covered with spiderweb-like cracks.

Upon seeing this scene, Yan Feng felt as if he had found hope.

His body was filled with a chilling aura, and at this moment, the third spirit ring under his feet finally lit up.

Behind them, a phantom of a bone dragon was gradually forming.

This is also Yan Feng's unique third soul skill.

Bone Dragon Impact!

The power emanating from that phantom was gradually surpassing the Soul King level and reaching the threshold of the Soul Emperor level.

The audience at the Soul Master training ground couldn't help but hold their breath for Huo Yuhao at that moment.

Although many people have criticized Yan Feng, the key point is that the requirements for the Genius Competition did not actually include the prohibition of taking drugs.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao seemed to be on the verge of despair.

He himself had already exhausted most of his strength from the previous defense, and his soul power was almost depleted. Now, facing this life-or-death attack, he seemed to have no way out.

Instead of using the baby bottle to restore his soul power again, he slowly closed his eyes amidst everyone's astonished gazes...

Chapter 73 The Son of Light, Huo Yuhao

Even Xu Tianran's face darkened on the podium.

There's no way around it; the current situation means Huo Yuhao is destined to lose, which also means that Yan Feng of the Holy Spirit Cult will win the championship of this youth genius competition.

The reason why Yan Feng was initially allowed to participate was that there were so many contestants, and Zhong Liwu should be able to control Yan Feng and make him obediently step down at the most crucial moment.

After all, he is only the crown prince now, not the emperor.

He had already reached his limit. But now, Yan Feng not only showed no mercy, but even used a secret technique to win.

This was practically a blatant slap in the face to him.

More importantly, if the evil spirit master wins the championship, then recommending himself, or rather, opening this back door himself, will inevitably be purged by those damned brothers.

At that time, the position that I had finally managed to stabilize through ruthless means might once again be in a precarious situation.
