Douluo Jueshi: Picking up Firefly at the Beginning

Chapter 282: Cheating Huo Yuhao
Jili's arms were extremely strong, like two huge iron pillars.

He just calmly crossed his arms in front of himself and took Dai Huabin's sharp claw attack.

This reception not only demonstrated his amazing defensive ability, but also revealed a kind of arrogance and confidence.

Immediately afterwards, Jili took a step forward with his left foot. With this step, even more bizarre changes occurred. His left foot suddenly grew several times larger, and three sharp claws grew from the front, which were also covered with fine gray-blue scales.

This claw looked like a deadly weapon, emitting a terrifying aura. He stepped heavily on the ground, and suddenly there was a loud "bang" sound, as if a heavy bomb exploded on the ground.

The powerful impact caused the ground to crack instantly, and cracks spread out in all directions like a spider web.

At the same time, a huge wave of air rose up with him as the center, carrying endless power and violently crashing towards Dai Huabin.

This air wave rose from the ground into the sky, showing a strange gray-blue color, just like the color of the darkest corner of the deep sea, revealing endless gloom.

The surging air waves also carried with them a strong, pungent, salty and fishy smell that was nauseating.

What is even more peculiar is that after this air wave appeared, it seemed to have life and began to slowly condense and take shape.

After a while, it suddenly condensed into the shape of a huge mouth. The edges of the mouth were jagged, as if covered with sharp fangs. It opened and closed as if it was going to devour everything in the world.

The overall look was like a terrifying monster that had been dormant for a long time and suddenly awakened, exuding a creepy aura and rushing towards Dai Huabin viciously.

Facing the fierce and monster-like air wave, Dai Huabin remained calm and fearless.

There was a flash of light around him, and a circle of white light bloomed from his body, like a bright moon emitting a soft yet tenacious light.

The light quickly turned into a solid shield, spreading out in all directions with him as the center, and soul power fluctuations flowed on the surface of the shield.

At the same time, Dai Huabin's first, third, and fifth soul rings shone almost at the same time.

"White Tiger Body Shield, White Tiger Vajra Transformation, White Tiger Demon God Transformation."

With Dai Huabin's three low shouts, three powerful soul skills were displayed one after another.

In an instant, a miraculous change occurred. Dai Huabin's entire body seemed to be injected with a tremendous force and expanded again.

His body grew rapidly, his muscles bulged, and his lines became increasingly hard and distinct, like a human-shaped white tiger.

The already powerful momentum now poured out like a flood. This momentum was not inferior to that of Geely on the opposite side, and there was even a tendency to overwhelm the opponent.

At this moment, the air wave with a salty and fishy smell, condensed into the shape of a giant mouth, fiercely hit the white shield released by Dai Huabin.

There was a muffled "puff" sound, and the air wave seemed to have hit an indestructible mountain. It collapsed instantly and turned into countless tiny air currents that dissipated in the air.

Jili seemed to be stunned for a moment, and Dai Huabin seized the opportunity. He sprayed a white beam of light from his mouth and went straight towards Jili. The white beam of light was extremely fast and left a long trail in the air.

Seeing this, Jili showed no sign of dodging, but instead revealed a ferocious and arrogant smile.

His hands, which had transformed into sharp claws, flashed with a cold blue light under the infusion of soul power. He suddenly raised his arms upwards, his movements were quick and decisive, without any delay.

The speed was extremely fast. Almost in the blink of an eye, it hit the White Tiger Fierce Light Wave emitted by Dai Huabin fiercely.

The claws made a sharp sound of breaking wind, shattering the white beam of light into pieces, turning it into flying white fragments.

At the moment of shattering the White Tiger's fierce light wave, a piercingly cold light suddenly flashed in Jili's pair of green bean-sized eyes. The light was like ice spikes in the cold winter, revealing a bone-chilling chill.

Then, his protruding fangs moved slightly, and a purple-black tongue shot out like lightning.

The tongue was shaped like an arrow, with an extremely sharp front end. It drew a strange trajectory in the air and shot straight towards Dai Huabin's eyebrows.

In the world of soul masters, there are all kinds of strange fighting methods, but attacking with the tongue is too rare and weird.

For the many spectators watching the game, they had never seen such a strange attacking method in all the previous games of this tournament.

This sudden move caught everyone off guard, especially the opponent Dai Huabin.

Feeling the fierce attack coming towards him, Dai Huabin was shocked and his body reacted instinctively.

He subconsciously raised his left hand quickly and held it in front of him, trying to block this strange attack.

At this moment, the White Tiger protective shield on his body was still in the open state, emitting a faint white halo. He thought that he could rely on this layer of defense to resist one or two attacks.

However, Jili's purple-black tongue had an unimaginable penetrating power. It was like an extremely sharp drill bit, and it pierced through the White Tiger's protective shield in an instant.

The originally indestructible shield became as fragile as thin paper under the impact of this strange tongue.

Immediately afterwards, the purple-black tongue hit Dai Huabin's raised left hand without any hindrance.

A crisp "bang!" sounded like a firecracker, abruptly piercing the silence of the arena. Along with the blast, a powerful force raced through Dai Huabin's left hand. He felt the overwhelming force, unable to maintain his balance. His feet left two deep marks on the ground, and he involuntarily fell backward.

A wisp of smoke instantly rose from Dai Huabin's left arm where he was shot. The smoke had a pungent smell and filled the air, making people feel uneasy.

Looking down, I saw that the skin at the part hit by the purple-black tongue was festering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the surrounding muscle tissue also began to turn black, obviously suffering from extremely severe corrosion.

The situation was extremely critical. Dai Huabin knew that there was no room for hesitation at this moment. His eyes fixed and his right hand stretched out in an instant. The sharp tiger claws flashed with cold light, like the scythe of the god of death.

The next moment, he swung his right claw without hesitation, accurately and decisively cutting towards the contaminated flesh on his left arm.

With a slight "hissing" sound, the piece of flesh that had changed color and emitted a foul smell was cut off and fell to the ground, splashing a small amount of dust.

The most difficult thing about evil soul masters is that their fighting methods and abilities are far beyond common sense.

The skills they unleash are often accompanied by various strange and deadly effects, just like Jili's purple-black tongue just now. Not only is the attack method unexpected, it also comes with a strong corrosive poison.

After only this brief encounter with Geely, Dai Huabin deeply realized how difficult the evil soul master was and suffered a great loss.

Fortunately, he had previously activated the two major soul-enhancing skills, "White Tiger Vajra Transformation" and "White Tiger Demon God Transformation", which greatly improved his physical fitness and defense.

It is precisely because of this that the injury did not worsen. Otherwise, with the terrible degree of the poison, it would not be as simple as just cutting off a piece of flesh. It is very likely that he would have to give up his entire arm to save his life.

In the Tang Clan's waiting area, the atmosphere was tense and depressing, with everyone's eyes fixed on the two people fighting fiercely on the field.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao suddenly seemed to have discovered something astonishing, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Brain-eating beast, I know. His martial spirit is the brain-eating beast!"

This shout instantly broke the original silence, and everyone's eyes were all cast on her, with eyes full of surprise and confusion.

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I've heard my teacher explain in detail that in the south of our Douluo Continent, there lives an extremely terrifying soul beast called the Brain-Eating Beast. This soul beast is extremely ferocious and has unique and cruel habits, specifically feeding on the brains of various creatures."

At this point, Xiao Xiao paused slightly, a hint of fear in his eyes, and continued, "Once a brain-eating beast appears, it will inevitably cause great panic and chaos in the local area. Even if only one or two brain-eating beasts appear, the consequences will be disastrous wherever they pass. A village or town that was once full of vitality will soon be reduced to a dead zone. No one will be spared, whether it is people or livestock. A small hole will appear between their eyebrows, and their brain marrow will be sucked out clean. The scene is horrible."

"The teacher also emphasized this specifically," Xiao Xiao's expression became more serious.

"This brain-eating beast is arguably the most vicious of all spirit beasts. As soon as its tracks are discovered, local spirit masters will hunt it down and kill it at all costs. Even the Xingluo Empire once organized a large number of manpower to hunt brain-eating beasts on a large scale. After a long period of hunting, this spirit beast is now on the verge of extinction. But who would have thought that someone would actually possess this martial spirit today?"

To everyone present, brain-eating beasts were just mysterious creatures that existed only in legends. After all, they were close to extinction, and no one had ever seen one in person.

Just as Xiao Xiao said, no one could have imagined that such a terrifying and rare soul beast martial spirit would appear in today's game.

After hearing Xiao Xiao's words, Huo Yuhao frowned and asked, "What exactly is the ability of the brain-eating beast? What are its weaknesses?"

Everyone knows that Xiaoxiao's teacher is Master Xuan.

Xuan Lao is old and experienced, with rich life experience and a wide range of knowledge. Naturally, he has a deep understanding of various strange soul beasts, and he must know a lot of details about the brain-eating beast.

Xiao Xiao frowned slightly, gathering her thoughts before slowly speaking, "Soul beasts like the Brain-Eating Beast are naturally incredibly powerful, their physical prowess far surpassing that of ordinary soul beasts. Their most formidable feature is their straw-like tongue, which is normally hidden within their mouth. Once launched, it can be ejected at breakneck speed with immense power. They rely on this tongue to precisely penetrate their prey's brows and suck out their brain marrow."

After a brief pause, Xiao Xiao continued, "Besides their immense strength, brain-eating beasts are also incredibly fast, making them incredibly difficult to defend against. Furthermore, their defenses are exceptional, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to inflict substantial damage. However, no powerful being is invulnerable, and the brain-eating beast has its weaknesses. It's not very adept at long-range attacks, and its attacks are mostly concentrated in close combat or using its tongue for medium- to short-range surprise attacks. Therefore, in the past, when hunting brain-eating beasts, hunters would typically choose to suppress them with long-range fire, constantly draining their energy and avoiding close contact, ultimately leading to a successful kill."

After hearing Xiao Xiao's information about the brain-eating beast, Huo Yuhao lowered his head slightly and nodded thoughtfully.

In an instant, a golden light flashed in his eyes like lightning, but he quickly returned to calm, making it almost imperceptible to others.

At the same moment, in the rest area of ​​the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Liuying and Gu Yuena frowned slightly almost at the same time, with a hint of strangeness in their expressions.

They keenly sensed that there was an extremely secret spiritual fluctuation that silently passed through the seemingly indestructible soul guide shield on the competition stage like a ghost, and then accurately connected with Dai Huabin who was fighting fiercely on the field.

Faced with this situation, Gu Yuena remained calm, like a calm lake. She did not make any obvious movements, but just observed everything quietly.

But Liuying was different. She turned slightly to the side, leaned close to Liuxing's ear without leaving any trace, and whispered a few words softly.

After hearing this, Liuxing nodded slightly, indicating that he understood Liuying's meaning. Then, he looked in the direction of Huo Yuhao in the distance and took a deep look at him. There was a bit of scrutiny and thought in his eyes.

After a moment, he slowly shook his head, as if denying a certain idea, and then ignored the matter.

Under normal circumstances, if it was another team playing on the field, Meteor would definitely report Dafa without hesitation.

But the situation was different this time. He also hated the evil soul masters and the Holy Spirit Church. After all, they had attacked Ye Guyi before. So, regarding Huo Yuhao's suspected cheating this time, Liu Xing finally chose to turn a blind eye and decided not to investigate further.

On the competition stage, Dai Huabin narrowly avoided several of Jili's venomous attacks, and Huo Yuhao's voice rang in his ears.

At the same time, his field of vision also changed. Jili's movements became slow in his eyes, and the trajectory of the attack was also clearly visible, allowing him to easily avoid the poisonous tongue attack.

Dai Huabin's face darkened, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but looking at the aggressive and murderous Ji Li, he could only accept Huo Yuhao's help.
