In Douluo, infinite simulation life

With Wang Yanfeng's body as the center, the metal plates on the entire competition stage broke inch by inch. The violent impact from under his feet not only disrupted Huo Yuhao's combat rhythm, but more importantly, it caused Huo Yuhao's body to briefly leave the ground, which was exactly the attack opportunity Wang Yanfeng created for himself. Seeing that the skill was effective, Wang Yanfeng kicked the ground with both feet, and the first and fifth soul rings lit up. His clenched right palm not only expanded again, but also bloomed a brilliant green light from the inside out.

As Wang Yanfeng's body rushed forward with an astonishing speed, and the right fist that hit Huo Yuhao condensed all the strength of Wang Yanfeng's body.

Faced with such a fierce attack, Huo Yuhao had no choice but to take it seriously. He released his three soul-enhancing skills: Ice Emperor's Claws, Ice Emperor's Body Protection, and Tiangeng Battle Body. The diamond ice crystal engraved with golden magic patterns instantly wrapped around Huo Yuhao's right arm. He threw out a simple straight punch, which collided with Wang Yanfeng's giant fist surrounded by green light.

As the saying goes, power comes from the ground. With his feet off the ground, Huo Yuhao was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of power. However, even in this situation, when he hastily fought back, Huo Yuhao still flew back a few feet before stopping steadily. Although Wang Yanfeng was not repelled, his body, which was originally in the momentum of rushing forward, paused slightly and shook slightly. This result made Wang Yanfeng feel a chill in his heart. He understood that even if he activated the second awakening of his martial soul to improve his combat power, he was still not as good as Huo Yuhao in terms of absolute strength.

As a talented elite among the younger disciples of the Body Sect, Wang Yanfeng actually lost to his opponent in the area he was best at, but his fighting spirit did not diminish. Seeing that his attack failed, Wang Yanfeng quickly adjusted his posture and rushed forward, punching Huo Yuhao with both fists at the same time. But what Wang Yanfeng did not expect was that Huo Yuhao did not dodge or block, and a pair of cold and icy claws rushed straight to Wang Yanfeng's chest.

Injury for injury? Wang Yanfeng did not retract his actions after realizing Huo Yuhao's intention. He had already realized before the battle that he could not defeat Huo Yuhao by his own strength. If he could inflict some injuries on Huo Yuhao before losing, that would be the best result.

As expected, Huo Yuhao's ice claws easily cut Wang Yanfeng's chest, and the blood that failed to spill out, along with the horrible wound, froze instantly under the influence of the extreme cold. Even with the blessing of the second awakening of the bronze-level martial soul, Wang Yanfeng's body protection soul power was like paper, and his effective defense against Huo Yuhao's attack was almost zero.

After being hit hard by Huo Yuhao's Ice Emperor spirit, Wang Yanfeng's fate was predictable. The extreme ice and snow energy rushed into his body and quickly froze his entire body. Wang Yanfeng had tried to mobilize his soul power to resist, but even his soul power could not escape the fate of being frozen in the face of the overbearing extreme cold force. In the end, Wang Yanfeng had no choice but to fall to the ground. Before losing consciousness, he did not forget to observe Huo Yuhao's reaction after being hit by him, but unfortunately the result only disappointed him.

It was impossible for Huo Yuhao, who had endured Wang Yanfeng's full-strength attack head-on, to be completely unharmed. The ice crystal armor covering his entire body showed obvious cracks in the parts that were hit, and Huo Yuhao himself staggered back several steps before he could steady himself.

This was the biggest loss Huo Yuhao had ever suffered since the start of this tournament. A trace of internal injury appeared inside Huo Yuhao's body. But for some reason, Huo Yuhao's face was not worried at all. Instead, a strange smile appeared on his face.

Chapter 385 Huo Yuhao vs Long Aotian

This was the first time Huo Yuhao had been injured since the start of this year's All-Continent Senior Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition. Logically speaking, Wang Yanfeng of the Snow Demon Clan team had achieved this, which was already an honorable defeat. Even when facing the siege of four members of the Shrek Academy team, Huo Yuhao was still able to end the battle unscathed.

The original plan of the Snow Demon Sect team was to send out two team members to consume as much of Huo Yuhao's soul power as possible, and preferably to injure Huo Yuhao through the attack power that erupted from the second awakening of their own martial souls, so as to pave the way for the Snow Demon Sect team's strongest one-on-one victory over Huo Yuhao.

Wang Yanfeng's defeat was so fast that it was beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected Huo Yuhao to resort to the strategy of exchanging injuries for injuries when he was sure to win. Although this could end the battle with Wang Yanfeng as soon as possible and reduce the consumption of his own soul power, the injuries caused by resisting Wang Yanfeng's full-strength attack in the second awakening state of his main martial soul would inevitably have an adverse effect on Huo Yuhao's subsequent battles.

Ever since the last time the Snow Demon Sect team sent out members from the Body Sect to defeat Bei Bei in the battle with the Tang Sect team, the relationship between the Snow Demon Sect team and the Body Sect is no longer a secret.

Facing such a powerful team with an extraordinary origin and which had been hiding its strength in previous matches, Huo Yuhao, as the main player of the team, should have taken a safe approach to the challenge. Why would he risk exchanging injuries for injuries? This puzzled most of the soul masters watching the match, but there were still a few who knew more about Huo Yuhao and were able to figure out the reason.

"Huo Yuhao of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team wins. The Snow Demon Sect team will immediately send out the next player." Chief referee Zheng Zhan instructed calmly. Although he did not have a deep understanding of Huo Yuhao, he believed that Huo Yuhao would not act rashly in this crucial match.

The attack by the Body Sect had brought disgrace to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. Now that they were facing the team organized by the Body Sect in the Continental Senior Youth Soul Master Elite Competition, all members of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy would go all out to wash away the past shame with a complete victory. If possible, Huo Yuhao should also strive to achieve a one-on-seven victory like in previous competitions. If he could take the opportunity to kill a few genius elites of the Body Sect, that would be even better.

Since it was still unclear what Huo Yuhao was up to, the Snow Demon Clan had no choice but to send out the second member according to the previous plan. Based on the man's body shape, Huo Yuhao quickly determined that the other party's martial spirit was his legs.

Just as the young man from the Body Sect stood up and prepared to jump onto the competition stage, Princess Vina, who was standing beside him with a hesitant look on her face, suddenly reminded him, “Chen Lu, in the next battle, you must do your best to deal with Huo Yuhao and prolong the competition time. You must not repeat Wang Yanfeng’s mistake.”

Huh? Chen Lu was slightly stunned, but he didn't hesitate too much. He turned his head and nodded to Vina in response, then jumped up. With his amazing jumping ability, he instantly jumped over a distance of hundreds of meters and landed on the competition stage.

According to the rules of the competition, Huo Yuhao and Chen Lu walked towards the edge of the competition stage after exchanging names. On the way, Huo Yuhao did not take out the bottle to restore his soul power. Although the battle with Wang Yanfeng just now caused him some internal injuries, the battle lasted for a very short time, so naturally there was no big consumption.

Seeing Huo Yuhao and Chen Lu walking to their respective positions to wait for battle, Zheng Zhan loudly announced the start of the competition.

Although Princess Vina had previously reminded Chen Lu to try to deal with Huo Yuhao as much as possible and not to blindly fight, Chen Lu still charged towards Huo Yuhao without hesitation the moment the battle started. Chen Lu, who used his legs as his martial soul, was faster and more flexible than Wang Yanfeng, who had a higher level of cultivation, but he was also not good at long-range attacks. Facing Huo Yuhao, who had endless means, if he did not take the initiative to attack and seek close combat, he would be tantamount to waiting for death.

Without being hindered by Huo Yuhao's long-range attack, Chen Lu, who had burst out with all his strength, arrived in front of Huo Yuhao in just a breath. He raised his right leg, which was unusually long and extremely strong, and swept towards Huo Yuhao's head like lightning.

Facing Chen Lu's leg attack, Huo Yuhao did not dodge at all, but raised his left hand and grabbed Chen Lu's right ankle. Of all the limbs in the human body, the left arm is naturally not as strong as the right leg, but Huo Yuhao's left arm has been fused with a piece of Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm soul bone. In addition, Huo Yuhao's physical strength is absolutely superior to Chen Lu's, so in this head-on confrontation, Chen Lu will be the one who suffers.

The moment Chen Lu's right leg collided head-on with Huo Yuhao's left palm, an extreme chill, ignoring the protection of the body's soul power, instantly penetrated into Chen Lu's right leg muscles and bones. The stiff and uncomfortable feeling inevitably caused Chen Lu to retract his right leg half a beat slower.

Chen Lu realized that something was wrong and quickly activated his soul skill to break free from Huo Yuhao's grasp. At the same time, he kicked the ground with his left foot, instantly breaking away from Huo Yuhao and retreating more than ten meters away. However, there were already four conspicuous blood marks on his right leg.

After a round of fighting, Chen Lu clearly realized the gap between himself and Huo Yuhao. He was at an absolute disadvantage in every aspect. If he wanted to hold on for a while and complete the task of weakening Huo Yuhao, he had to use the second awakening of his martial soul to improve his combat power. Otherwise, he would be defeated in a short time.

Regardless of the level of the second awakening of the main body spirit, it will inevitably become weak after using it, which is obviously not conducive to the next team battle. However, neither Chen Lu nor Wang Yanfeng before him had too many concerns about this. As early as when discussing tactics before the game, Princess Vina had repeatedly emphasized that Huo Yuhao must be eliminated in a one-on-one elimination battle, otherwise the possibility of the Snow Demon Sect team winning through a team battle would be close to zero.

Although Chen Lu and other young elites of the Body Sect were somewhat indignant about Princess Vina's judgment, they ultimately chose to follow Princess Vina's advice. Chen Lu also firmly believed that the person who came after him would be able to defeat Huo Yuhao. No matter how powerful Huo Yuhao's martial spirit talent was, he could not ignore the essential difference between having a martial spirit avatar or not. After all, the opponent he was facing was also a top genius of the Body Sect.

Thinking of this, Chen Lu's originally somewhat wavering fighting spirit suddenly rose, and he activated the second awakening of his martial soul without hesitation. The bronze light of his legs appeared behind him, and three of the soul rings surrounding him lit up at the same time. Chen Lu, who activated the second awakening of his martial soul and the three amplification soul skills at the same time, instantly raised his combat power to the limit, especially his speed, which increased by nearly two times. As he moved, green afterimages appeared in the void that he passed through. In the blink of an eye, he came to Huo Yuhao's side, supported himself with his injured right leg, and slammed his left knee into Huo Yuhao's waist.

The knee is one of the hardest parts of the human body, while the waist and abdomen lack the protection of strong bones, and are undoubtedly more fragile than the brain and heart and lungs. Any human with a little combat experience would not allow himself to be hit like this. However, Huo Yuhao used the same trick again, ignoring Chen Lu's attack. The ice claws formed by the Ice Emperor's Ao soul skill reflected dazzling light like diamonds, and both claws went out and grabbed Chen Lu's chest directly.

This fighting style was exactly the same as when Huo Yuhao defeated Wang Yanfeng. Chen Lu remembered what Princess Vina said before he went on stage, and decisively gave up the attack and forced a change of tactics. He leaned back with his waist as the axis to avoid Huo Yuhao's ice claws, and adjusted his body posture by flipping on one leg. After landing, his left leg went out again and kicked directly at Huo Yuhao's crotch.

Although Huo Yuhao's spiritual detection was useful for anticipating the enemy's moves and responding quickly, as a man, it was almost his body's instinct to protect the vital part that Chen Lu was trying to attack. The diamond ice crystal wrapped around Huo Yuhao's right arm had several precise golden patterns, and when it swung, it collided violently with Chen Lu's calf, which was shining with a bronze luster.

Due to the huge gap in strength, although Chen Lu's attack had some unexpected effect, he was still pushed back several steps by Huo Yuhao who had activated his Tiangeng combat body.

Chen Lu did not show any frustration at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his lips, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became even stronger. However, the next moment, Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes glowed with blood-red light, staring at Chen Lu. Chen Lu, who knew the danger of pupil-type martial spirits, immediately looked away and did not dare to look at Huo Yuhao.

However, the gap between Chen Lu and Huo Yuhao on the spiritual level was too great. No matter how carefully he tried to avoid Huo Yuhao's gaze, the defensive effect he could provide against Huo Yuhao's spiritual skills was only marginal.

Since you are so eager to fight, let me add fuel to the fire.

Princess Vina, who was sitting in the Snow Demon Sect's waiting area, noticed the change in Huo Yuhao's eyes and couldn't help but stand up. After confirming her guess, she sighed and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for Chen Lu to cause much damage to Huo Yuhao. It seems that our hope of victory can only rest on you, Aotian."

Just as Princess Vina finished her words, Chen Lu, who was still carefully sizing up Huo Yuhao and trying to find his flaws, suddenly shouted angrily, “You running dog of the Sun-Moon Empire, prepare to die!”

As Chen Lu shouted this curse that infuriated the Sun Moon Empire's people, he also rushed towards Huo Yuhao, attacking with his hands and feet. A stream of sharp green light continued to attack Huo Yuhao. At this time, the blood in Huo Yuhao's eyes disappeared, but Chen Lu, whose mind was interfered with by Huo Yuhao's mental power, had bloodshot eyes. He looked like a butcher who had lost his temper in the war.

The fourth soul skill of the Spirit Eye Martial Soul is mental confusion. This skill was formed after Huo Yuhao, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen went to Jingyang Mountain Range to train and hunted a silver moon wolf king with ten thousand years of cultivation. The soul ring of the wolf king was absorbed. When it is used on Chen Lu, whose mental strength is not as good as Huo Yuhao, the effect will undoubtedly be fully exerted.

Whether among human soul masters or soul beasts, the ability to go berserk is not particularly rare, and the effects and side effects of various berserk skills are all similar. The only difference is the degree of improvement in the user's strength during use, the degree of mental abnormality, and the sequelae that appear after the berserk ends.

Chen Lu, who had fallen into a frenzy, naturally could not fight with Huo Yuhao anymore. After a series of attacks that ignored the consumption of soul power, Huo Yuhao quickly caught Chen Lu's flaws through mental detection. The sharp ice claws penetrated the green light on Chen Lu's body and pierced into his waist and abdomen. The terrifying extreme cold breath burst out from the inside out, and Chen Lu was completely frozen in just one breath. A lifelike human-shaped ice sculpture appeared on the competition stage, even still maintaining the previous fanatical expression and the posture of kicking vigorously.

The price Huo Yuhao paid was only a few cracks on the left shoulder armor made of diamond ice crystals on his body surface. The actual damage he suffered and the impact on his own combat effectiveness were almost negligible.

Just as Chief Judge Zheng Zhan announced Chen Lu's defeat and asked the Snow Demon Clan to send out the next player, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a sharp gaze falling on him. The source of this gaze was a tall young man sitting next to Princess Vina. This man looked quite handsome, and the energy he exuded was as heavy as a mountain. Even with Huo Yuhao's keen mental power, he was unable to detect any flaws in him.

As a genius soul sage with a top-level martial soul, Huo Yuhao instantly judged the strength of this young man and looked him in the face without fear. The two invisible auras collided in the void. If the opponent's aura was like the endless mountains and rivers, then Huo Yuhao's aura was like the vast and boundless ice sea abyss.

The pre-battle probing lasted only a few breaths, but both Huo Yuhao and the young man from the Body Sect who was about to fight him were clearly aware of the danger of their opponents. However, there was no fear on their faces, and there was a hint of excitement in their expressions.

After a brief eye contact with Princess Vina beside him, the young man from the Body Sect leapt to the center of the competition stage. The moment Huo Yuhao landed on the competition stage, he walked to a place several meters away from his landing point and stood still.

"I'm Long Aotian, the captain of the Snow Demon Sect team. Today, let me see your true strength that you have been hiding." The young man from the Body Sect reported his name according to the rules of the competition and issued a challenge, then turned and headed to the waiting position at the edge of the competition stage.

Huo Yuhao responded calmly with a smile on his face: "I am Huo Yuhao from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team. It is an honor for me to compete with an opponent like you on the field. As for whether I should give my all, that depends on whether you have the ability to do so."

Long Aotian was unmoved by Huo Yuhao's provocative words. After the incident of the Body Sect's surprise attack on Mingde Hall, the relationship between the two sides had already been as hostile as fire and water. Moreover, the Body Sect had become the sect protecting the country of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and he himself was in love with Princess Vina and was engaged to her, so he would definitely stand on the opposite side of the Sun Moon Empire in the future.

Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian walked at a leisurely pace from the center of the competition arena to the edge of the competition area. After the two of them were ready to face their opponents at a distance of 100 meters, the chief referee Zheng Zhan immediately announced the start of the competition.

Unlike the opponents who often took the initiative to attack in previous matches, Huo Yuhao used static to counter dynamic and improvise. The moment Zheng Zhan finished speaking, Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian, who were facing each other on the stage, seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding and made almost identical movements. Then, the two players, who were originally on the two sides of the stage, flew up at the same time, and then in the sky above the center of the stage, the two figures quickly separated after a violent collision.

“As I expected, you have already realized the state of harmony between man and nature. It seems that you have not wasted the talent of your own martial soul.” There was a hint of excitement in Long Aotian's tone, and he did not hide his admiration for Huo Yuhao.

This was the first time that Long Aotian activated his martial spirit in this competition. Although he failed to gain a clear advantage, his cultivation strength was presented to all the audience in the most intuitive way. One yellow, two purple and four black, seven soul rings that exceeded the best ratio of ordinary soul masters emerged from behind him. In comparison, Huo Yuhao only had a single black soul ring. Even though the result of the first collision between Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian seemed to be evenly matched, it still caused some hesitation among the Sun Moon Empire people who had always supported the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team and regarded Huo Yuhao as an undefeated legend of the younger generation.

"He is actually a Soul Sage, and not just an ordinary Soul Sage. Even Huo Yuhao would probably..." Someone in the silent audience whispered in a suspicious tone, but the next moment, all the fans of the Sun Moon Team who heard this around him glared at him. One of the nobles, who was wearing a Soul Master badge on his chest and dressed in extraordinary clothes, cursed directly: "Ignorant thing, what do you know? Marquis Huo Yuhao has twin martial souls, and is a Soul Master and Soul Master at the same time. I don't know how many hidden tricks he has not used. If he really fights with all his strength, even a Soul Douluo may not be able to do anything to him. What's the point of a Soul Sage with a special soul ring?"

Similar conversations were taking place simultaneously in various places at the competition venue. After a short period of silence, the people of the Sun-Moon Empire who were watching the game began to cheer loudly for Huo Yuhao again. Their enthusiasm was no less than that of the Shrek Academy team fans at the Xingluo City stadium during the previous competition.

Not only did a large number of spectators support the Sun Moon Team, but even Huo Yuhao himself maintained a calm and composed smile, as if he did not feel the pressure from the Soul Saint radiating from Long Aotian at all. He even continued to provoke, “Just use your martial soul body and silver awakening, otherwise you will lose miserably.”

Long Aotian was not surprised that Huo Yuhao could see the grade of his own martial spirit. The perseverance formed by more than ten years of hard training also made it impossible for him to be swayed by Huo Yuhao's psychological offensive. Hearing this, he snorted coldly, and his right hand turned into a knife. Several soul rings lit up, and the soul power surged and condensed into a dark golden blade to slash at Huo Yuhao. With the blessing of the state of unity between man and nature, any seemingly simple attack of Long Aotian carried an astonishing power, making people feel that they could not resist.

Facing Long Aotian's new round of attacks, Huo Yuhao remained calm, and opened the five claws of his left palm. The extreme ice and snow energy condensed into a blue light claw with white snowflakes engraved on the surface to meet Long Aotian's attack. After a brief stalemate, Long Aotian released the dark gold light blade to cut the ice and snow claw, but it was frozen by the extreme cold air the moment it sank into it. In the end, the ice and snow claw exploded and turned into thick ice mist. The temperature on the competition stage dropped sharply as the cold air filled the air, and the dark gold light blade that was so powerful before had disappeared without a trace.

"You can easily dissolve my soul attack just by relying on the ice-controlling technique. If you want to win, you must use your martial soul's true body to be sure of victory." After making his own judgment, Long Aotian did not hesitate at all. After the inky black seventh soul ring lit up, the skin on his entire body instantly burst into a dazzling golden light, appearing extremely noble, and as if he was protected by a god and was inviolable.

Compared to the huge changes that the beast spirit and weapon spirit's spirit avatars undergo when they are used, Long Aotian's spirit avatar, which is the skin of his original spirit, is relatively ordinary on the surface. However, Huo Yuhao, who was confronting Long Aotian at this time, could clearly sense the terrifying power of his opponent's spirit avatar, and its amplification effect was definitely not comparable to that of an ordinary soul saint's spirit avatar. This was partly due to the special nature of the original spirit, and partly due to Long Aotian's seventh spirit ring that exceeded the normal age.

Long Aotian, who used his martial spirit's true body, attacked Huo Yuhao again. He did not use any punches or kicks, but rushed towards Huo Yuhao like a golden statue. Seeing this, Huo Yuhao no longer hid his weakness, and his mental power, soul power, and even physical strength burst out. He pushed his palms forward slowly but quickly, and confronted Long Aotian's strong body filled with golden light head-on.

With the blessing of the state of unity between man and nature, any seemingly ordinary moves can have the power to stir up the world, and can even simulate the power of nature to a certain extent. For example, Huo Yuhao's palm move just now is actually like the movement of glaciers on the sea. Ordinary people only feel slow and clumsy from the surface. Only when they actually collide with it can they feel the terrifying power hidden in it, which is enough to destroy a palace or sink a huge ship in an instant.

Chapter 386: The Realm of Unity between Heaven and Man

However, even so, it was Huo Yuhao who was still at a disadvantage in this head-on power clash.

Long Aotian paused and swayed slightly, while Huo Yuhao took ten steps back and dug his right claw into the ground of the competition platform before he could stabilize himself. However, Long Aotian's expression became even more solemn at this time. Huo Yuhao's frontal combat ability was much higher than he had imagined. Unless he used his body martial spirit to awaken for the second time, he would not be able to win quickly, let alone take the opportunity to injure Huo Yuhao.

“A spiritual realm that is tangible but intangible. No wonder you have just entered the realm of unity between man and nature, but can exert such power. Vina is right to value you. You are indeed my rival.” Long Aotian quickly realized the strength and solidity of Huo Yuhao’s mental power. Although it was a little unbelievable, he still had to admit that the strength displayed by Huo Yuhao was no different from his own in essence, and the fact was indeed so.

In terms of soul power, there is a gap of about ten levels between Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian, but as an ultimate martial soul master, Huo Yuhao's training difficulties from level 30 to level 70 were not in vain. The slowdown in the speed of soul power level improvement is essentially the compression and condensation of the soul power of the ultimate martial soul master. At this time, Huo Yuhao, who has cultivated the ultimate ice and snow soul power to level 62, can fully make up for the difference in the total amount of soul power between himself and Long Aotian by relying on the advantage of soul power quality. In terms of physical strength, relying on the advantages of martial soul, soul ring, soul bone, and the nourishment and improvement of the gold of life and other natural treasures, Huo Yuhao is not inferior to Long Aotian.

At this time, Long Aotian's advantage over Huo Yuhao is actually the realm of unity of man and nature and the true body of his martial spirit. Huo Yuhao can basically ignore the gap between the former, not only because Huo Yuhao's mental power is far stronger than Long Aotian, but also because Huo Yuhao himself has a very high degree of fit with the space of heaven and earth. Just like the martial spirit fusion technique can combine the martial spirits and soul power of different soul masters to exert a stronger power. The unity of man and nature first condenses the soul master's essence, qi, and spirit into one, and then uses this to echo and guide the power of heaven and earth to merge into the human body, so that the soul master can exert power beyond his own limits through the combination of heavenly power and human power.

There is a degree of compatibility between different soul masters who perform martial soul fusion skills, and the same is true for soul masters who have comprehended the state of unity between heaven and earth and space. Under the same conditions, the higher the degree of compatibility between the soul master and the world, the greater the effect of unity between heaven and earth on the soul master's strength. If a peerless master who has studied this way is allowed to conduct a data evaluation, Long Aotian's degree of compatibility with the world is only about 70%, while Huo Yuhao's degree of compatibility with the world is 100% perfect. Therefore, even if Long Aotian's comprehension of the state of unity between heaven and man is deeper, Huo Yuhao's combat power that can be improved through unity between heaven and man will still not be weaker than Long Aotian.

Unfortunately, even Huo Yuhao could not ignore the difference between having a martial soul body and not having one, unless he used the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's fifth soul skill, Ice and Snow Transformation. This powerful ability, which combined the power of the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor, gave Huo Yuhao an amplification effect that was no less than that of a martial soul body, but it had to be used in conjunction with the Snow Emperor's soul spirit, which would be very troublesome to explain. Huo Yuhao would not choose to expose his secrets in public because of a game. Moreover, it was not that he had no other way to win, it just took some time to prepare.

So in the next dozens of rounds of fighting, Huo Yuhao was defeated by Long Aotian's attacks. The most powerful part of the original martial soul skin is defense. Long Aotian's martial soul body combined with other amplification soul skills can increase its defense, which is already far superior to that of the same level, by more than three times. With his terrifying defense like an indestructible golden body, Long Aotian only attacks and does not defend. He uses a variety of fighting moves such as fists, feet, knees, elbows, etc., which seems to be without any rules but actually moves according to the situation to pursue the maximum attack effect.

This was Huo Yuhao's longest battle so far in this tournament. It was the first and only time that Huo Yuhao looked embarrassed in the match, but he never showed any signs of losing. Although the fans of the Sun Moon Team expected Huo Yuhao to pull out some kind of trump card to instantly reverse the situation did not happen, as time went by, the situation on the stage did gradually change, and the cheers for Huo Yuhao became louder and louder.

Long Aotian, who has fully activated various amplifying soul skills including his martial soul avatar, can be said to have fully exerted all of his combat power except for the second awakening of his martial soul. However, Huo Yuhao's defense also exceeded Long Aotian's expectations.

The three soul-enhancing skills of Ice Emperor's Turtle, Ice Emperor's Bodyguard, and Heavenly Battle Body, plus the addition of the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm soul bone and the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's right arm soul bone, made Huo Yuhao's arms strong enough to block Long Aotian's full-strength attack head-on. In addition, Huo Yuhao also possessed precise insight and fighting skills that were not inferior to Long Aotian's, and never let his weak defenses be hit head-on by Long Aotian. If Long Aotian failed to defeat Huo Yuhao in a short period of time, what awaited him would only be an increasingly unfavorable battle situation.

Long Aotian, who seemed to be unscathed in the continuous battle, actually showed a significant decline in combat status before Huo Yuhao, and his speed and strength were gradually weakened. At the same time, although Huo Yuhao was pale and bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and his ice crystal armor was severely damaged, he always maintained a nearly intact combat power. This was not because Long Aotian, who used his martial soul body, consumed his soul power faster, but mainly because of Huo Yuhao's special ability.

The Ice Blue Emperor Scorpion's martial spirit has an ultimate talent, extreme coldness, or it would be more accurate to call it an extreme cold attack.

Coldness is an almost inevitable effect when using ice and snow attribute abilities. No matter what level or attribute a creature is, its tolerance for coldness is limited. An ordinary person will soon freeze to death if they continue to endure the coldness of minus 30 degrees. Even for a low-level soul master, it will greatly affect his physical condition over time. The lower the temperature and the longer the coldness lasts, the more terrifying the effect.

The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's martial soul talent ability, extreme cold, is essentially to impose a negative state of cold on the enemy. Although it cannot further reduce the temperature of Huo Yuhao's extreme ice and snow, it can make the extreme ice and snow's cold air pervasive and difficult to dispel. The extreme cold air with these two characteristics will gradually penetrate into the enemy's body during the battle, causing it to become increasingly cold. This coldness brought by the extreme ice and snow will cause the enemy's physical, soul power, and mental state to continue to decline in all aspects until they are completely frozen and lose all ability to move.

At this time, less than a quarter of an hour had passed since the battle between Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian began, but because Huo Yuhao's extreme ice and snow were too cold, the extreme cold naturally took effect very quickly. Long Aotian's attacks became weaker and weaker, and he gradually lost the initiative in the game. However, the extreme cold had a relatively small impact on Long Aotian's defense. When Huo Yuhao tried to counterattack, he was repeatedly bounced off by the golden light on his body and was unable to directly injure Long Aotian.

If the current situation continues, Long Aotian's defeat is inevitable. This talented Soul Saint who is proud of the Body Sect is naturally unwilling to accept this. He has to use his last trump card - the second awakening of the silver-level body martial soul.

Strands of crystal-like silver light burst out from Long Aotian's body, and in an instant, they condensed into an illusory, transparent silver-white human figure behind him. The figure looked almost identical to Long Aotian, but was taller and stronger. If Long Aotian, who was now filled with golden light, looked like a favored child of heaven blessed by the gods, then the silver-white figure behind him seemed to be a guardian spirit sent by the gods to assist him in his growth. With its blessing, Long Aotian's power surged again, and with a shock of his body, he blasted away Huo Yuhao, who was originally able to wrestle with him.

Feeling the powerful force surging through his body, Long Aotian's face looked extremely ugly. Whether it was the spirit's true body or the second awakening of the main body's spirit, it consumed a lot of energy for the spirit master. Especially Long Aotian's silver awakening, it would cause a serious overdraft of the main body's spirit, and after using it, the spirit master would inevitably fall into a long period of weakness.

In this battle with Huo Yuhao, Long Aotian used his spirit avatar and the second awakening of his original spirit at the same time, which means that even if Long Aotian can defeat Huo Yuhao, he can only exert 30% to 40% of his combat effectiveness in the next game. It can be said that the chances of the Snow Demon Clan defeating the Sun Moon Royal Spirit Instructor Academy team in this game have dropped to an extremely low level. It should be noted that Wang Yanfeng and Chen Lu, who had fought Huo Yuhao before, had already completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Huo Yuhao must not be allowed to end this battle unscathed. Long Aotian stared at Huo Yuhao fiercely with a fierce look in his eyes. As a Soul Saint who had comprehended the state of unity between man and nature, although Long Aotian was not good at mental power, his perception was extremely sharp. Naturally, he could see that Huo Yuhao was not seriously injured. Once facing Huo Yuhao in a nearly perfect state in a team battle, the Snow Demon Clan team would have almost no chance of winning. Long Aotian was not so arrogant as to think that after a large amount of consumption and overdraft, he could eliminate all the remaining six members of the Sun and Moon Team by himself. The victory in the team battle was inevitable.

The idea was set, and Long Aotian's first move after the second awakening of his body spirit was to use his all-out killing move - Golden Dragon Breaking Slash. This was a killing skill created by the current leader of the Body Sect, Du Bu Si, to defeat the previous leader of the Sea God Pavilion, Dragon God Douluo Moon. The threshold for practicing this move is to comprehend the unity of man and nature. Therefore, looking at the entire Body Sect, few people can practice it.

Huo Yuhao had noticed the moment Long Aotian was preparing to use the Golden Gang to break the dragon. A huge amount of soul power gathered towards Long Aotian's right arm. The originally golden soul power light gradually evolved into deep red gold through condensation and transformation. Before the slash actually hit, Huo Yuhao had already felt unprecedented pressure from Long Aotian. After a little hesitation, Huo Yuhao finally reacted. The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's other ultimate talent, the Cold Soul Sword, was activated. A slender lightsaber that was dark blue and hard to see its true or false condensed in Huo Yuhao's right palm. In order to interrupt Long Aotian's charging of the move, Huo Yuhao rushed to Long Aotian in the blink of an eye, held the sword in his right hand and slashed it. A bone-chilling cold sword light that seemed to be able to split the soul slashed towards Long Aotian.

Long Aotian, who had watched Huo Yuhao's match against the Shrek Academy team, instantly recognized that this was the move Huo Yuhao used to severely injure Xu Sanshi. It had easily split Xu Sanshi's Xuanming Tortoise Shield when he was in the Xuanwu awakening state. If he took this move, even he would not be able to remain unscathed. However, since things had come to this point, Long Aotian had no reason to retreat, so he used his left arm to perform the spirit skill Heaven and Earth Fission to meet Huo Yuhao's sword move. He also accelerated the brewing of the Golden Gang Dragon Breaking Slash at the risk of damaging the meridians in his right arm, risking injury in exchange for injury in order to give Huo Yuhao a heavy blow.

As Long Aotian expected, the power of the Heaven and Earth Fission Soul Skill he used with his left arm was no match for Huo Yuhao's sword move. Not only the surface flesh, but even the bones of his left arm were broken by nearly one-third due to resisting Huo Yuhao's sword. The trauma he suffered on the mental level was also not light. After all, it was a sword attack that combined the ultimate talent of the Cold Soul Sword, one of the three unique skills of the Snow Emperor, the Ice Extreme Invincible, and the skill Overlord Slash taught by Alex, which could be regarded as Huo Yuhao's killer move.

Although the name of the skill Overlord Slash sounds a bit old-fashioned, it is a classic skill in the world where Electrolux lived before. Its function is very simple. It increases the lethality of sharp weapon attacks by performing special compression and conversion of energy. Although it can only launch one attack, the amplification effect can reach more than double, and it is highly versatile. The disadvantage is that it cannot attack from a distance, and the process of compressing and converting energy is relatively complicated and takes a long time. To shorten this time, it is not enough to rely on practice alone. It also requires strong mental power to control it. Therefore, Huo Yuhao is even more adept at using this skill than most practitioners in the world where Electrolux lived before.

Huo Yuhao's sword severely damaged Long Aotian's left arm, but the Golden Energy Dragon-Breaking Slash that was brewing in Long Aotian's right arm had also completed its accumulation of power. The red-gold light condensed into a blade in the rhythm, and with the swing of Long Aotian's right arm, it slashed diagonally towards Huo Yuhao's head.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was very close, and it was almost impossible for Huo Yuhao to completely avoid this move. He could only turn his body to prevent Long Aotian's Golden Gang Breaking Dragon Slash from hitting his head, which was the most important part of his body. However, at the moment when Golden Gang Breaking Dragon Slash was launched, Long Aotian's left arm had just blocked Huo Yuhao's sword move and was severely injured and could not be retracted. His right arm was raised and was about to attack. Aiming at the gap that appeared in this instant, Huo Yuhao stretched out his left arm, and at the same time as being hit by Golden Gang Breaking Dragon Slash on the shoulder, he slapped Long Aotian's chest with his palm.

A strong red-gold light exploded from Huo Yuhao's shoulder where he was hit by Long Aotian's Golden Gang Dragon Breaking Slash, and the violent energy impact blasted Huo Yuhao's body dozens of meters away. However, Huo Yuhao, who was lying on his back, not only did not lose consciousness, but even had a proud smile on his face. On the other side, Long Aotian, who was still standing and seemed to have the upper hand, looked at Huo Yuhao with a tense expression and whispered: "Did you just... do it on purpose? You..."

Most people at the competition venue could not understand the current situation. They only saw Huo Yuhao, who was lying on his back, raise his left arm abruptly, wave at Long Aotian, clench his fist, raise his entire arm in a victory gesture, and say, "What a pity! But anyway, see you later."

At this moment, a man in a black cloak in the spectator seats of the Snow Demon Sect team suddenly shouted anxiously: "We admit defeat in this game, stop it now." However, as soon as the words fell, a ball of icy blue light burst out from Long Aotian's body on the stage, and a violent roar resounded throughout the venue. In the thick ice fog, Long Aotian's body fell heavily to the ground without any movement.

The ability Huo Yuhao finally used to defeat Long Aotian was the Ice Explosion Technique, which was attached to the Ice Jade Scorpion's left arm soul bone. The reason why he activated the Frost Soul Sword and used the Golden Dragon Breaking Slash to fight against Long Aotian in close range was to guide Long Aotian to reveal his flaws and ensure that the last palm strike towards Long Aotian would hit.

By using the ice control method, the cold air that was previously injected into Long Aotian's body through extreme coldness was gathered and condensed into ice, and then detonated with ice explosion. This kind of explosion attack from the inside out is definitely the most effective for Long Aotian. After all, his martial soul is only the skin and not the whole body. Compared with the surface of the body, Long Aotian's internal defense is undoubtedly much more fragile.

At this time, Huo Yuhao and Long Aotian had already fallen to the ground, but Huo Yuhao was still conscious after all, and the result of this match was self-evident. By dodging with his body tilted, Huo Yuhao finally took the direct attack of Long Aotian's Golden Gang Dragon Breaking Slash on his shoulder. This is because Huo Yuhao's Ice Emperor's Turtle can increase the strength and defense of both arms at the same time, and the range of its effect naturally includes the shoulder joint connecting the arm and the torso. Therefore, compared with the head and torso, Huo Yuhao's shoulders are naturally more defensive because they have an extra layer of diamond ice crystal protection.

Although Huo Yuhao's shoulder armor was still cut open by Long Aotian, his tendons and bones were not injured. The residual power of the Golden Gang Dragon Slash after it passed through his shoulder still cut a bloody wound about a foot long in Huo Yuhao's torso, but it only looked scary. In fact, it was not a big problem for Huo Yuhao. The Ice-Blue Emperor Scorpion's ultimate talent of ice-water transformation was activated, and strands of crystal blue liquid flowed through his body. At the same time, the Eye of Life appeared from the center of his eyebrows, and the crystal-clear cyan life light spread out. There were also several blue-blue light symbols condensed under the control of Huo Yuhao's mental power, and imprinted on the obvious wounds on his shoulders and torso.

The combined healing power of the Ultimate Water and the Life Attributes enabled the injuries on Huo Yuhao’s body to begin to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. After just ten breaths, Huo Yuhao stood up again by supporting himself with his right hand.

On the other side, two women came to Long Aotian's side. They were the woman in the black cloak who had just ordered Huo Yuhao to stop, and the beautiful girl with a pale face and tears in her eyes, Princess Vina. Chief referee Zheng Zhan had already quickly come to Huo Yuhao's side when the black cloaked woman flew towards the competition stage, and did not stop the two women from rushing to Long Aotian to treat him, even though the black cloaked woman's behavior of coming to the competition stage was suspected of violating the rules of the competition.

After discovering that Huo Yuhao had quickly recovered his mobility through self-healing, Zheng Zhan’s tense expression relaxed a little, and he immediately warned the woman in the black cloak, “This year’s All-Continent Senior Youth Spirit Master Elite Competition clearly stipulates that during the competition, only the participating players and referees from both sides may enter the competition stage and the waiting area. You have thirty seconds to withdraw, otherwise the Snow Demon Sect team will be directly judged as the loser, and the previous ranking will be invalidated.”

The woman in the black cloak did not respond to Zheng Zhan's words, and was concentrating on investigating and treating Long Aotian's injuries. Princess Vina, who was beside him with tears in her eyes, suddenly looked up at Huo Yuhao, whose whole body was wrapped in blue and green light and whose injuries were rapidly healing, and said, "Our Snow Demon Sect team admits defeat. I wonder if you can help treat our team members. After the matter is completed, we will give you a corresponding reward in accordance with the price of hiring a healing titled Douluo."

Huo Yuhao looked at Princess Vina in surprise. From her attitude towards Long Aotian just now, Huo Yuhao could easily guess the relationship between her and Long Aotian. However, facing herself, the culprit who caused Long Aotian to be seriously injured and in danger of death, Princess Vina did not show any hostility. Her eyes and tone were full of sincerity, as if she regarded Huo Yuhao as their savior.

Although Vina's delicate and beautiful girlish appearance and crystal clear eyes that seemed about to cry were particularly pitiful, Huo Yuhao still rejected her request directly. The reason he gave made Vina unable to refute it: "Princess, I'm sorry that I cannot agree to your request, because I can't convince myself to save an enemy who once wanted to kill me."

As soon as these words came out, Vina's crystal eyes, which were originally full of hope, dimmed instantly. Huo Yuhao was right. Long Aotian did intend to kill Huo Yuhao in the competition. Even the last move, the Golden Gang Dragon Breaking Slash, was performed with murderous aura as a catalyst. Huo Yuhao, who was good at mental power, must be able to sense Long Aotian's murderous aura directed at him.

"The match between the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy team and the Snow Demon Sect team has officially ended. The Snow Demon Sect team has admitted defeat, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy has won and advanced to the finals." As Zheng Zhan announced the result of the match, Huo Yuhao left the stage amid the cheers of the audience and reunited with the rest of the Sun Moon team members who had come to greet him.

Although he knew that Huo Yuhao still had normal mobility, Meng Hongchen still took the initiative to step forward to support Huo Yuhao and asked with concern: "Yuhao, how are you? Do you have any serious internal injuries?"

Huo Yuhao smiled and said in a normal tone: "It's okay. He will be fully recovered in half a day. The ones who really need to be worried are those guys from the Body Sect."

Xiao Hongchen, who was standing by, heard Huo Yuhao's reply, and his slightly worried expression instantly turned into a gloating smile: "Hehe, when I think about the special effects of Yuhao's Ultimate Ice being able to work on the enemy, I feel particularly happy. Xiaomeng, you don't have to worry too much. I saw that Yuhao had no intention of letting us go before Princess Vina admitted defeat. I think he still has a lot of strength left. As for that Long Aotian, I'm afraid he will be disabled if not dead this time."

As soon as Xiao Hongchen said this, the other members of the Sun Moon Team were all delighted and began to boast about Huo Yuhao's victory in defeating the disciples of the Body Sect. The seven of them chatted and laughed with each other as they surrounded Huo Yuhao and left the competition venue. They took the luxurious carriage prepared in advance and returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. As for the match between the Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy team and the Holy Spirit Sect team that would be held in the afternoon, it was just an exhibition match with a predetermined outcome and played purely for the audience. It was not worth it for the Sun Moon Team to stay here to watch.

That evening, Huo Yuhao sat cross-legged on the futon in the middle of his room with his upper body naked. He used his soul power to force all the remaining golden evil spirit in his body to his left palm, and then used his right hand to condense an ice needle to pierce the palm of his left hand. Red-gold blood spurted out from it, and then the wound pierced by the ice needle healed quickly. Only then did Huo Yuhao's physical condition completely recover.

Although the battle with Long Aotian looked thrilling, Huo Yuhao actually still had a lot of reservations. This was not only because he wanted to hide certain secrets, but more importantly, Huo Yuhao wanted to further consolidate his understanding of the state of unity between man and nature through the fight with Long Aotian.

As early as when he was traveling around the continent on his way to Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao had some inexplicable insights when he was watching a mountain waterfall. After some suggestions from Alex, and after experiencing the mysterious strong man's application of the state of unity between man and nature at the opening ceremony of the All-Continent Senior Youth Soul Master Elite Competition, Huo Yuhao finally realized his own way of unity between man and nature. This not only greatly enhanced Huo Yuhao's frontal combat capabilities, but also helped absorb the energy of heaven and earth, promote soul power cultivation, and accelerate the pace of entering the Soul Saint realm.

Being promoted to Soul Saint and achieving the true spirit of a martial soul is a symbol recognized by the soul master world as a leap from the middle level to the high level. For Huo Yuhao, who possesses the ultimate martial soul, it means a leap in strength. At that time, many things that were originally impossible can be attempted.
